believe that the reader wrote this and it was promised but a precocious premise. the. pressure of nato airstrikes hit the libyan capital there are warnings that continued coalition support of the rebels is an invitation for a chain reaction of civil wars in the region. almost twenty five years after chernobyl the world looks upon it with renewed concerns as the distress at fukushima shows how vital it is to be prepared for the repeat of a nuclear disaster. and a culture clash a controversial russian art group wins a state award for what they say is artistic protest critics see it as an act of obscenity and vandalism. and russia's markets open the week on a negative note with my school one point three percent the r.g.s.

point nine percent this is on a lower us opening and pulling commodities more and our business in and sweating out sun. this is r.t. live from moscow where it's now we're just after seven pm on monday now libya is in danger to walk colonel gadhafi forces are continuing their signature of the rebel held city of misrata while fresh nato air strikes raining down on the capital well more than a month into the allied intervention there's been a lot of discussion about the real aim of the action but there is little said about what the rebels actually want to. try to discover or form sell for their hopes and their country. for years saleem has been struggling to keep his order board shop running he cranes even opening it meant paying thousands in bribes to beer u.s.

officials all linked to by the gadhafi or his family a lighter note i won't even begin to describe how hard it was to start this business gadhafi has just hands on everything for decades he's been taking money from ordinary people and now it's time for them to be returned. sure small private business does exist in libya with the colonel and his close allies controlling all sectors of the economy it's a huge struggle for a need businessmen to make the same profits the idea that the revolution was on the floor cares for everyone to enjoy is backed by rebel informers to the military command we have as i told you have rich countries. they call them clean. that's. i would invite you.

the reason you would see some don't share this often isn't and don't need to know is the guardian angel it promises to be has nothing to do with humanitarian aid nothing to do with democracy nothing to do with people it's to call and exploited to steal your resources forty billion. reserves or the largest in africa and the ninth ward just. there's so much. school costs less than ten dollars each of those in a need to go even promise to be paid eight hundred dollars every month to share the revenues but failed to keep his word libya does have the resources to do big business it's just that in the past four decades it was done only by a circle of chosen people the elite now here in the rebel stronghold the local say they are ready to fight to the end to build a free and prosperous society but is the opposition strong enough to build

a whole new regime or can it be that the future of the libyan people has already been decided for that he got to spin off r t v libya. and i having just returned from libya you got to ask me not sharing your experience with us your sister. came back from benghazi maybe you. talked a lot with the rebels themselves myself they are pretty badly organized many of them are young many of them are teenagers who just got their hands on kalashnikov rifles are constantly shooting just in the air in the city itself when they're either celebrating something or commemorating something it seemed to me it was actually. more dangerous to be inside because of that rather than on the front because everybody's just sporadically shooting to be got these guns from got to be treated. so when we're talking about their actions on the fronts they're totally.

this this quarter they did. poorly trained one of our teams was feeling there at the front they got big got caught by a mortar attack so when everybody was running back. from the front they saw how the rebels were actually running faster. than our team was with european countries now saying that they're going to send trainers to help organize the rubble from the board so how was the service to the russian team. talks. with the prime minister so we are ready for. this but all sides have to abide by. the fighting must stop. was are you going to piss off right there on the rebels now rely on international help makes the situation even more dangerous it's promoting the idea of uprisings in other countries now this is the warning coming from the

russian foreign minister sergey lavrov this nuclear because it does not believe me an opposition is a rejection of the ceasefire and you should see it is connected with the fact that nato is implementing the un security council resolution and it soon way and has sided with the rebels and probably the rebels rely on western help to overthrow the regime and seize power it's a very dangerous mood deliberately escalating the conflict in hopes that the world community would come to your aid and is essentially an invitation to a series of civil wars. and i mean time ego to hochelaga from the institute of the world economy and international relations says that russia is the most suitable mediator for this ongoing conflict. but we're seeing it in nature and nature very selective you see if he does his. places where gadhafi. may be trying to kill himself we should goes it truly world beyond any u.n.

resolution and each absolutely inacceptable from the point of national laws and from the point of view all for international conventions. all nato members are signatories to russia remains media view only help to resolve the situation because . we are taking sides in the conflict and you know if you want to be a mediator you have to be accepted by both parties russia it was all this propagated today g. or not evolve into other countries internal affairs and. conducted its international policy in accordance with norms of international law maybe ease the best choice for the. former editor of the sun newspaper kelvin mackenzie shares the view that no western powers should meddle in the us and here's a quick review of hardy's interview that's coming up i think that's coming up next hour here on r.t. . says libyans fighting libyans and who we

who should be running their country. when i lost a lot i didn't notice any of the libyans interfere when the cavaliers and the railroads took place in their revolution or the far as i could see there was nobody from tripoli. in the french revolution. and the interview is coming up next hour. now russian art has been catapulted into the limelight after a giant piece of graffiti you want to stay toward radical armed group dog the work seen by many as obscene drawbridge opposite the federal security service in st petersburg and while most people were angered at the action others say it's the message not perform that matters. this is award winning aren't according to russia's ministry of culture the sixty five metre phallus whitewashed on drawbridges and petersburg has won the twenty thousand innovation prize for best

visual artwork self-styled aren't terrorists vyner meaning war in russian are the unpopular winds. i think it's essentially vandalism a bridge is a cultural and historical monument and to paint anything on it is an act of vandalism and it should be punished not rewarded. here in the center of contemporary art can see the other entries for the award nothing is stimulating or is shocking or as innovative as violence and according to the jury that's why they won purely artistic merit but now it's not as simple as that the same symbol the ministry rewarded is now being brandished in mocking protest these russian youth group is angry four hundred thousand roubles of taxpayers' money we've given to a group it calls vandals for vine or a protest only legitimizes their own but. it's

a very awkward situation when the state award goes to a group that in fact organizes an action and against the state but it is a very important signal with artists always express society's pain and to help a society accepts these. but there's been no acceptance of binah as until now two members still face trial on hooliganism charges for this little stunt british graffiti artist banksy detailed a man that they could still play seven years in prison and flipping police cars so why this sudden show of state support. the minister of culture was afraid of being accused of political censorship and i think he was right in america entry is better being afraid of and pools and political censorship than to actually in paul's that you're breezewood. a sea change from four years ago this image of two kissing policeman was banned by the culture ministry for international exhibits fearing embarrassment by curative acts of bishan was and are

a year of faith back then he lost his job but this time he was on the jury so why is his art then. the jury is a graphic and expressive example of how an artist reacts to a social climate he doesn't specify the target of his protest he simply says that strong protest is brewing in russian society for having draw the line between saying this. and vandalism because this is cleanest thinking. with a street art is mine of vandalism but it's not hooliganism and disorder it may cause it's compensated hundreds of times by the meaning of their pictures which is painting could be restored on the bridge to become a symbol of some petersburg's culture because it is the first work that is proof of a civil society. by no court controversy usually at the expense of the authorities whether it's art or not they've achieved what they wanted to notoriety they say

they'll donate a prize money to political prisoners either bennett r.t. a scam. and as a more news in feature stories on our website of course article com let's have a quick look right now what's waiting for you online on our web site america's get move prison is packed with innocent people that's according to the latest trove of secret files from wiki leaks which shed light on who the inmates really are. and find out why india is becoming an increasingly male dominated society and what a devastating effect it may have on the country's future. twenty five years since the meltdown nuclear plant fears

a link. is also rather will one day repeat itself on the tragic anniversary ukraine's seeking funds to complete a new containment shelter over the reactors remains which are still emitting dangerous levels of radiation let's get more of this across life iraqis alexy it affects you he was had exclusive access to the exhaust outside alexei you've been there recently how would you describe the area surrounding the rocket and does the notorious for reactor still pose a threat as far as. well if you travel across the chernobyl exclusion zone thirty kilometer radius around the station to pause station the one which exploded twenty five years ago would probably find different levels of radiation you would find levels like three thousand micro in this power which is very very high and this is not suitable for living that is into places like that are so-called black forest on top of the tallest building where i saw a level of two and a half thousand micrograms per hour it is not advisable for

a human being to be there for more than ten fifteen minutes at the same time you can find places with very low levels of radiation some are even lower than in moscow or even in kiev so. it is impossible to live there and the fallout period of most of the nuclear particles might last up to twenty thousand years so this land would probably never be inhabited again but in some parts of the exclusion zone there are villages where the so-called reset there is or how they called in washington i saw that the people who returned to the zone is immediately after the collapse of the soviet union and they've been living there ever since they were offered as they told me some flats and even money compensations in kiev and everywhere cross ukraine but still they prefer to coming back to their home villages to their own houses to their cattle and there they're growing vegetables and fruits there so it seems that they are not scared and not put off by the radiation at all living there for the last. eighty years indeed with this anniversary the twenty five years since the fall out ensured normal in one thousand

nine hundred six now the exclusion zone has drawn a lot of attention we've seen lots of many different events now we know that the russian president dmitry medvedev has already presented liquidators the people who are involved in the cleanup operation in the immediate aftermath of the blast with russian state awards we also know that the russian president will be joining his ukrainian and bell russian counterparts along with a huge delegation of international v.i.p.'s tomorrow on tuesday inside the exclusion zone we also know that the head of the russian orthodox orthodox church party are curial has already arrived to kiev and he will also be holding vigils game kiev and in the inside that your local exclusion zone on tuesday this comes less than a week after huge international donor conference which was held in the korean capital with ukraine seeking more money to build another circle for us now is clearly people understand that there's still great deal of danger underneath the surface underneath the steel structure because nobody still knows to the date how

much nuclear fuel has remained under the support of any of course but indeed we've seen lots of warre strong the international community and the fact that ukraine has managed to attract more investment into building a new circle for just proves that the world is still worried about this fact especially in the wake of the fukushima disaster unraveling in japan now i did a report explaining all the details of how things are now with the old and the new and we can have a look at this report right now. japan's ongoing struggle to contain the thought wish him a disaster is fueling the growing anxiety over nuclear energy safety the last time the world was this scared was in the shadow of the chernobyl reactor explosion in eighty six but this latest accident more straight than these are each make great progress made in the last twenty five years. more of these to be done to ensure that sci fi parents approach becomes fully entrenched

among nuclear power plant operators government and break makers hopes to seal the site within nine months but back in the days of chill normal a quicker solution was needed shutting the gapping hole of the exploded reactor was the immediate way out of a deadly mistake scientists were quick to react to the other folding catastrophe and managed to build a steel structure over the devastated taurus station protecting europe from further spread of radiation the surface was built in one thousand nine hundred eighty six just months after the disaster back then experts said that it would last for twenty years until two thousand and six no there are fears that these are cause for this might collapse and there are several cracks all in the wall of the building and experts believe that this may cause serious danger and serious threat if this is because this killer the whole of the european continent could be contaminated by

the radioactive fuel which is still thought to lie under the circle for us this new arc is being billed by a french company in arca work has been in progress for months but it only recently became clear that this billion dollar project lacks financing a week before the disastrous twenty fifth anniversary managed to attract an additional half a billion euros in age from europe as a dollar conference. we've now been granted a real chance to complete the new shelter by the year two thousand and fifteen experts are confident it could even happen quicker in just two years and that the new protective layer would last for generations to see their life time for their new seat confinement is suppose to be a hundred years that is the term to develop technology is. how to manage fuel containing masses how to manage. optimal rolls around walking

whether that means that your novel nuclear power plant could one day be dismantled under the new dawn is unclear but as plans nuclear crisis keeps the planet on alert there is now a new focus on ensuring chernobyl's dark past can be kept at bay let's hear a shot of the artsy reporting from chernobyl ukraine. as we march on the world's anniversary and say that the world has failed to learn the lessons on nuclear safety that the tragedy exposed spoke to philip white from the citizens nuclear information center who says that the situation in fukushima is worse than the plant's owners are willing to admit it's just some sort of sheet material that they want to cover the plant with to minimize releases of get ready gases the outside in fact six months is very optimistic and i think they'll find it very difficult to achieve that i don't think the end of the accident is in sight i wouldn't be surprised about anything with. there are many people in government who

are closely affiliated with keep going one way or another in iraq or c. has never been strictly monitoring them in promoting nuclear sort of few areas that are still uncertain and we think a lot they can bring out some details. that will come out as time goes by. it's more a matter of the analysis that they put on that day to day minimize the seriousness in all this statements indicating a sleek we should to recognize just how serious it is. without channels the twenty fifth anniversary just a day away many point to the devastation wrought by nuclear energy as an argument against atomic power so it's crystal focuses on what can be a future without the atom. in my view if you're anti carbon dioxide and you're anti-nuclear you're just pro black out and with global demand for electricity

expected to grow by eighty percent over the next twenty or twenty five years we simply don't have an option but to continue to work hard at getting good at nuclear . and i know you can watch the course of our program and fooled about some of his time here on c but for now let's check out some other world and you stories in brief two people have reportedly been killed and dozens injured during another wave of government protests in yemen opposition is still resuming a mass demonstrations demanding the president of the country to leave his position immediately. he was speeding charges given for more than thirty years the agreed to plan to step down in thirty days with this decision it failed to stop the riots.
