it's twenty five years since the world's worst nuclear accident we are in ukraine to remember as a child not a tragedy but a fact of thousands of lives a lot of huge areas of land poisoned for centuries also the solemn. subrange you really tricky of which have come on live from you are. finally in libya reaching out to nato is accused of overreaching the un resolution by supplying the rebels with my. russian passengers for deicing with death blow gav a growing number of lethal accidents among the countries from big but it's shuttle buses. added business japanese carmakers scale production in basra do

the difficulties in getting ports as a result of the exact start will have that and more visibility and it's likely that . this is are coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program quarter of a century ago the world will go to the worst nuclear accident it had ever seen explosion at church novel sent a huge pool of radioactive smoke across much of europe and leaving the lands thirty kilometer exclusion zone poisoned for thousands of years through the day arches and so now is in the ukrainian capital kiev covering events to mark the anniversary of the disaster. it started as a beautiful day as it is today but ended horribly when at one twenty three am an

explosion blew the roof off the terminal build nuclear facility and a fire that ensued for some ten days after that spewed vast amounts of radiation into the air through at the immediate time of the accident thirty two lives were lost some thirty more in the weeks and months that followed but in total the number of deaths potentially resulting from the tragedy varies enormously just to give you an idea of some of these numbers the world health organization puts it at four thousand greenpeace puts it at two hundred thousand if you can see the difference there are russian publication puts the number closer to one million and that's with all sorts of organizations claiming that the death toll overall is severely underestimated the highest areas of contamination you were talking about the thirty kilometer evacuation zone they were mapped out and closed off some people forcibly evacuated some is of course putting it lightly hundreds of thousands really many of

those people refused to leave and of course suffered very adverse effects to that it said that some of the contamination and radiation reached as far as asia africa and america well our correspondent alexy are says he has been covering chernobyl for years now will be joining him throughout the day but right now he takes us back to a small soviet town that was once full of dreams and became a town full of nightmares. twenty five years ago the town of p.p.r. was a place any soviet person could dream off high salaries great standards of living and impressive infrastructure and restricted town for the employees over china mobile nuclear power plant week it was regarded as the pride as the plural of the soviet union it was not only constructed to look like a perfect socialist city but the people who live here were also the best of the best the best musicians sports man. the best professionals in nuclear energy all of them live here all of that changed on april the twenty six nineteen eighty six when

the chernobyl reactor exploded the result of an experience carried out in the wrong hands. of the reaction was almost completely out of control in april twenty fifth but it could still have been saved and management pushed for a completion of an experiment personal hesitated were locked into and eventually couldn't go against the authorities we'll know the result. and meanwhile the town's population had no idea about the disaster people were enjoying and then usually sunny saturday outdoors. and we were away from school pleated beach we returned home or called in mud to my mother asked me where i had been i lied we were cleaning the school yard and she was shocked as she'd already heard rumors of some action in the nuclear station. that shock was easy to understand ambulances with sirens had a lot of the population of this small town in the middle of the night they delivered the severely injured plant workers and firefighters to the hospital but

over a people had different fractures burns and the radiation most of them had forced a green radiation burns one of them died instantly the others had to wait twenty four hours to be evacuated to a hospital in moscow ironically those were the lucky ones others stayed in the town exposing themselves to their legal woes as of radiation many died or suffered radiation sickness afterwords nowadays peter it is described as a debt nobody lives here and never will again the fall out period of many nuclear cells reaches twenty thousand years this has not been a steer any unka critter and here's straight after the u.s.s.r. collapsed because they gave me a flood and the pension to found it impossible to survive like that and here i have a cancer and a grow everything in creation yes there is a little here that you don't find the place without it anywhere we are not scared. in the wake of the fukushima disaster the word chernobyl echoed again worldwide

just about when everyone thought all mistakes have been learned another crisis put the nuclear energy issue through a serious debate with the former chernobyl liquidators say they are ready to fly halfway across the planet. just like they did in their own backyard twenty five years ago all they want is to make sure nightmares like chernobyl and fukushima never happen again and let's see russian ski reporting from chernobyl and key here in ukraine. commemorations for those who were affected and lost their lives during the tragedy began early this morning in fact in the middle of the night at the exact time of the accident a rock group was led by russians russia's patriarchy real here in kiev and so commemorations and ceremonies will be held throughout the day both in the ukrainian capital and internode where we will be crossing live for you throughout the day now of course this anniversary once again highlights the parallels with what happened in japan just over

a month ago i and it's raising questions over whether nuclear safety and the last since that could have been learned from chernobyl accident have been taken into a fact by the world community a big debate is being raised we spoke to journalists by james corbett is in soccer japan and he says that the handling of the fukushima power plant crisis is repeating mistakes twenty five years. i think the real analogy to be drawn here is that the flow of information that's coming from the governments and it's not a feed an analogy that favors the japanese government but we saw in the wake of the true noble the immediate wake of the chernobyl disaster we saw the official soviet reaction was to. attempt to cover up and deny what was going on but once it became apparent the scale and scope of what was happening we saw that kick start anywhere of glasnost and openness whereas we see the exact opposite saying happening here with me as. japanese government reaction to what's happening and because i think the government has proven that it's not interested in giving

a free and open access to the site or to the information coming out of there and amazingly enough that's pertaining even during this disaster even as the chief cabinet secretary you don't always giving twice daily briefings on what's happening at fukushima those briefings are only open to be a select group of japanese media organizations foreign media and independent journalists are being excluded from those meetings and are only getting access to second hand information from administrative sources so and there is an incredible attempt to try to cover up would be the flow of information into to control what kind of information is getting out. now the aftermath of the nuclear emergencies is raising anxiety over the safety of the industry itself on our web site archie dot com we're asking you what will happen to atomic energy in the near future let's take a look at what some of you have already answered almost forty percent think that there is a danger of more serious disasters happening but others are more optimistic a quarter think atomic energy will expand and be good for humanity the third to put

their hopes on green and renewable energy six percent think that nuclear energy is days are numbered and that people's fears will see it phased out let's focus a little bit on those who witnessed the chernobyl disaster as it unfolded of course the cleanup crew the people who fought the fires and dealt with the rubble put themselves their lives on the line to prevent the tragedy from spreading even further archie spoke to one of them. when our seed my old i didn't have a full understanding of what was happening there with very scarce information by the time i was on a business you're going to be passed and i was told to leave it within the next twenty four hours a future most going to arrive at the ministry where the chief department head told me take a special flight in two hours to figure out what happens once you get there so i went to the airport immediately. my friends and colleagues design engineers who are taking the same flight to deliver project documents and we went together and we

continue our coverage extensively all the tree noble tragedy anniversary throughout the day we'll be taking a trip to the ghost town keep it say with us from. this site q. three to five years are going to get tired of it down the population over the radio prepare for the market wait for three hours. which would cost recently some people more than receiving notices telling them to pick up letters at the post office in. the stories of. those two. it's only has approved the use of its fighter jets and

nato air strikes in libya despite its earlier refusal to join the bombings a nato air strike on monday badly damaged carl could obvious compound in the capital tripoli the libyan government forces continue their siege of the rebel held city of misrata where at least ten people were killed in shelling it's over a month since the allied intervention in libya began but there is speculation that some neo-cons resupplied rebels with arms for the uprising are his ridiculous concordat suggestion to a military analyst. so where do libyan rebels get their arms from to help us answer that question we're joined today by even a phone call the military analyst. with the russian academy of sciences thank you for joining us today let's look at the picture we're looking at the arms obviously a rebel fighter pointing out that they got the portrait we kind of weapon is this so here we can see you build a fan of. the sole trifle and quite likely each was smuggled into

libya after the u.n. sanctions imposed over the structure you know some experts speculate that some of those guns could have come into libya before the sanctions were imposed or even in the early years of the regime because this assault rifle was. in there was produced many years ago but you know if we take a look at this picture for instance we can easily see. all of the gun made of plastic and this what if if if and foil is quite recent also it doesn't make sense for could earth here could pushers of these guns for his own i mean if you take a look at the pictures of the libyan army they can see they use mostly kalashnikov glance with extremely cheap and high live a level thirty nine millimeter cartridge it makes little sense to why you need a weapon which is not a fair trade for nature cartridge which is quite expensive it's much more expensive

thirty nine millimeter. gun which is produced all over the all the north korea in china everywhere so actually we can see it at this point recent modification of fall of come from france and quite recently it's a well known fact that some of the libyan rebel fighters have links with al qaeda which they know about the fact that the rebels or the rebel fighters are having spread the al-qaeda does this not look like an absurd situation that they're stacked supplying people who are unknowingly connected with al qaeda with arms i mean what do we have in our hands what we see no need for conscious and the leadership is so much obsessed with getting khadafi out of the power they don't actually care who the rebels are there was not. any. terrorist organisations in iraq before train chill three they can't enter iraq after saddam was just proud

as a result of american led invasion which was seen in a matter of conscious in tunisia in egypt and in libya where the terrorist cells are. extremely effective that those cells could easily come into. international law professor francis boyle says nato planets interventional long before the empress webster really began pulling what we're seeing unfold in libya is a pre existing war ploy by nato by the british by the french by the americans to attack libya there is no way this sort of military force and tyrone power could have put together in such a short period of time and less that wasn't your point there was activated the moment there were disturbances in not invent cars and there everything now is going

according to plan which is why i believe that since they have failed to do polls khadafi with these steps far the next stage will be moving into a ground invasion. and we have more inside in our top stories that are t.v. dot com new light on the inmates at america's atory is going tobe a prison where it seems young teenagers the old really are considered a threat to national security. and the kidnappers of a russian software tycoon sought are revealed as a desperate elderly couple wanted the ransom to clear their loans after details. of the financial saans rising in the east according to the international monetary

fund predicts that china will overtake the u.s. which will lose its dominance within five years qantas max fraud wolf says america only has itself to blame. well our own policies are largely behind the rise of china in many ways and the decline of the united states i mean it's probably not completely accidental this comes a week or it's sort of strangely fortuitous or eerie this comes a week after we see standard and poor's threatened to put the u.s. treasury the u.s. sovereign debt on a downgrade watch and if you do keep importing more than you act or you keep running giant trade deficits and you consume more than you produce that explains part of why we're growing slowly and they're growing relatively quickly i do think that one thing the chinese have done well the americans have done quite badly which is accelerated this process is a the united states got to sort of point where they made the assumption that american dominance was baked into the cake that we would be dominant because we're american and sort of thinking it as an accident of history which is fragile and last i mean i think is that we continue to make national political policy for the

political expedience and short term benefit of a small number of politicians and sort of having a really disciplined long term outlook on the chinese continue to make basic policy decisions in order to maximize their growth and have a dominant position in the world economy five ten and twenty years from now and having much better policy eventually catches up with people with the worst policy and benefits the people with better parts on something fifteen minutes here we hear how the world's money is now in matters as countries look to rely on less on the u.s. dollar here's what's coming up in the kaiser report. everybody's like trying to come up with conspiracy theories and rumors to explain the soaring gold and silver prices the sewing oil prices soaring commodity prices but the wall street journal headline reads fleeing the dollar flood the world tries to protect itself from us monetary policy right the u.s. dollar will be rolled up into a new a new global currency and it'll it'll become extinct and the everything in america

will be double triple quadruple in price and the world in the standard of living will be one of the lowest in the lowest in the lowest best of all. answers in the world. now is to look at some other stories from around the world and it dad really crack down on protesters in syria by security forces has reportedly claimed another five lives tanks were used by the government's troops in an effort to curb the uprising in the southern city government demonstrations have intensified in syria even though the fifty year old emergency law is being with the officials in neighboring jordan say syria has closed the border to prevent people from leaving. a bus in southern pakistan has been torched by armed man leaving at least thirteen people to be burned alive including some children the attackers who were on motorbikes opened fire before apparently spraying pavel and setting the vehicle alight as it arrived

at a hotel it was followed by two bomb attacks in the country's biggest city of karachi this time targeting buses taking naval employees to work at least four people died and over thirty are thought injured. to ransom rains in colombia show will sign of letting up with ongoing logs and mudslides now having claimed over ninety wives around two hundred families have been left homeless this rainy season and experts predict the extreme weather will last through june and brazil at least twelve people have been killed in a month slide and floods over the weekend a state of emergency has been declared in several cities. on the daily commute to work you'd hope you would be safe in the hands of public transport got a low cost shuttle buses which operate on russia's roads are becoming an increasingly lethal option in some places they are responsible for half of road accidents that is bought it has the story. of the

miracle that no one killed. for more than ten minutes volgograd police pursued the speeding shuttle bus which had a drunk driver at the wheel. another shocking example this race between two million buses in central russia that left people teen people injured according to police in some russian cities shuttle vans are involved in more than half of all road accidents we are in the us is good southern russia and as you can see shuttle bus is very popular here the cost is less than a dollar per ride but just like anywhere else in the country this type of transportation is fraught with danger most shuttle vans belong to private companies where drivers are often overworked and underpaid some of them try to get behind the wheel drunk or worse. this year alone fourteen random checks and found twenty seven drivers who using drugs for just one d go to living in moscow parked his car and

took a shuttle bus to work he says he almost got killed. for serious why aleutians in a row dearie risky wants to. go in the wrong way i was so scared i was ready to grab the guy by the hand and make him pull over and meanwhile authorities in the r.c.c. cleaned they found a solution to the shuttle bus problem a trendy high tech one. but wouldn't this year we're equipping all shuttle buses with satellite tracking equipment and video cameras to help us deal with complaints on a case by case basis no matter how impressive these plans are it's still unclear how old is big brother approved will affect the situation in the roads but with the rising number of shuttle bus relates deaths and injuries it may be one small step cutting down the carnage there is a lot skill not to see. a time now for a business or date. it'll.
