picciotto angeles times. in serbia multis available in clinton hyatt regency. in the am. it's a day of remembrance for the victims of the trouble disaster at exactly a quarter of a century on and the safety of nuclear energy sparks concern once again after the recent crisis at japan's fukushima power. italy is the latest to join nato bombardment of colonel gadhafi forces in libya and a month into the operation now experts speculated was that long ago including the action of arming the rebels before any underestimate the. pressure of wiki leaks revelations depict a britain as a terrorism breeding ground with bombers trained in london mosques and

a mosque the mines are safe haven in the country. and after a volatile session russian stocks managed to pare losses and by the end of the session ends with a one stock was telecom gaining four percent find out why in our business bulletin and around twenty minutes time. he is coming to you live from the heart of moscow welcome to the program it is exactly twenty five years since the world was shocked and shaken by the worst civil nuclear catastrophe in the history deadly explosion noble power plant spewed a radioactive crude cloud of crossed several continents prompted a long lasting human and environmental consequences. in the tsunami he was in the ukrainian capital kiev is covering the commemorations the events being held in the country. you know maybe twenty five years on to the day but the tragedy is still as

relevant and as we've heard thousands. that's true and let's not forget it's just over six weeks as the world watched the nuclear disaster unfold in japan of course attention has shifted to ukraine as the country marks the twenty fifth anniversary of the world's worst. nuclear catastrophe actually noble that's when an explosion ripped the roof off reactor number four and vast amounts of radiation spewed across europe and several confidence around the world it's estimated that eight and a half million people in ukraine or russia and bellow reuss the three most affected countries were exposed to high levels of radioactive material now at the immediate time of the accident two people were killed but in the months and weeks that followed more than thirty and in total the number of deaths and the statistics vary enormously i just want to give you an idea of some of these numbers the world health organization puts the number at four thousand while greenpeace puts it at

two hundred thousand and a russian publication has the number at nearly one million so you can see the tremendous difference there all of these organizations claim that the death toll is severely underestimated now in terms of contamination the highest areas were knocked off at the time and caught off hundreds of thousands of people were forcibly evacuated some insisted they stay behind in their hometown you'll meet some of them in a little bit in a little bit later a little bit later rather and commemoration ceremonies have been taking place throughout the day in that exclusion zone archies the lex luger subsidy is there. i've never seen the exclusion zone being so crowded as it is today during the anniversary of the explosion at the chernobyl nuclear power plug now we witnessed a solem ceremony with presidents the mediator of russia and the ukraine he created counterpart laying flowers and and saying

a couple of words about how difficult this loss was how difficult the liquidators job was to clear the aftermath of the chernobyl fallout. of a huge amount of citizens use from ukraine and russia and putin to deal with the aftermath of this tragedy and the face of such disasters we should be the gulf. do to people but truth we need to have me back in there and. doing the right thing i just metres away where i'm standing right now from the epicenter of all evil in trouble the infamously known pipe of the fourth block of the chernobyl nuclear power plant that is where the explosion happened exactly twenty five years ago around it is the area called the exclusion zone thirty kilometers in radius and this represents some certain museum of abnormality because you can see so many things which are of normal for instance it isn't absolutely impossible to live in the south of it which has levels of radiation which would kill a person in the long run but still some people manage to return here after the

collapse of the soviet union such a such mess was happening in ukraine that they were managed to get inside the exclusion zone without drawing attention of the authorities they've been living here ever since and i managed to talk to them on many occasions they told me that they were offered flats and pensions in kiev and other cities and towns across ukraine but they still decided to return to their home land to their houses to their castle and to the place where they grow vegetables and fruits they believing ever since some of them are of course dying but this is down to their age they certainly certainly have some health problems but this is not related to radiation as they say they do not fear this radiation and in fact this bravery some may think this is crazy but these people just say that they want to die on the land where they were born now of course this is twenty five years this is a big day in my report that take a look how things unraveled quarter of a century ago in chernobyl. twenty five years ago the town of pretty pierre it was

a place any soviet person could dream of high salaries great standards of living and impressive infrastructure and restricted town for the employees of the children mobile nuclear power plant week it was regarded as the pride as the pearl of the soviet union it was not only constructed to look like a perfect social city but the people who live here were also the best of the best the best musicians sports man the best professionals the 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 experiment carried out in the wrong hands with. the reactor was almost completely out of control in april twenty fifth but it could still have been saved and management pushed for a completion of the experiment personal hesitated were reluctant to and eventually couldn't go it is the authorities we all know there is an old video i mean one of the town's population had no idea about the disaster people were enjoying an

unusually sunny saturday outdoors and of the winter i mean my friend we ran away from school the plea to be church we returned to normal cauldron in mud and my mother asked me where i had been i lied that we were cleaning the school yard and she was shocked as she 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 it really too had different rooms fractures goons and the radiation most of them had food or fourth degree radiation burns one of the guard 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 deadly doses of radiation and many died or suffered radiation sickness afterwards nowadays peter is described as a dead. 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 from out there on the. throne here straight after the u.s.s.r. collapsed we gave me a flat and the pension and found it impossible to survive like that and keep you here have a council and a grow everything in mediation yes there is a little here but you can find a place without us anywhere we are not scared in the wake of the fukushima disaster the word noble echoed again world wide just about when everyone thought all mistakes have been learned another crisis with the nuclear energy issue through serious debate but the former journal liquidators say they are ready to fly halfway across the planet to help japan 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 let's see risky r.t. reporting from chernobyl and kia in ukraine. now those who were

deployed in the cleanup effort directly after the blast occurred of course were putting their lives on the line to prevent this tragedy from spreading any further spoke to one of. everything was difficult and work tempos difficult each day we were facing the hatch result somehow using all our experience but empty towns and villages were the ones that made the most depressing impression on me people were evacuated from chernobyl and surrounding areas of the villages and towns were abandoned it was very. well the anniversary of the tour noble disaster coupled with the current crisis in japan is raising anxiety over the safety of the industry itself on our website r.t. dot com we're asking you what will happen to atomic energy in the near future well let's take a look at some of the answers we've been getting so far forty. percent think that

there is a danger of more serious disasters happening but others are more optimistic about the issue issue just under a third think that atomic energy will expand and be good for humanity while around a quarter pin their hopes on green and renewable energy that's well six percent think that nuclear energy is days are numbered and that people steers will see it phased out have your say it all gone to r. t. dot com and tell us what you think about the future of nuclear energy and safety. we will continue our extensive coverage along the situation in china noble as ukraine and the rest of the world really marks the twenty fifth anniversary of the world's worst nuclear disaster stay with us throughout the day for our special report on prefects a ghost town which in soviet times was full of dreams but turned into a nuclear nightmare. this time saw the trajectory.

twenty five years ago on the entire fifty thousand population over ukrainian town to prepare for the american way to within three hours. plus now which most recently some people started receiving social justice telling them to pick up letters at this post office in. the stories of the world long gone. after he took. me to the diaries of. our choosing. with us here live from moscow now italy says it will join the allied airstrikes on colonel gadhafi as army in libya despite its earlier refusal to take part in the bombings this comes after a kid our fees compound in tripoli was hit by nato on monday temporarily taking at least three t.v. channels off the air however fierce fighting continues to still try to take over

the rebel held city of misrata at least ten people have been killed in the past twenty four hours it's over a month now since the coalition forces started the operation in libya but there's speculation that some nato countries supplied rebels with arms before the uprising artes are going to go scope that suggestion to a military analyst. so weird to libyan rebels get their arms from to help us answer that question we're joined today by a military analyst from the russian academy of sciences thank you for joining us today let's look at the picture we're looking at the arms obviously of rebel fighter pointing at the can i think we kind of weapon is this so here we are to the seal. assault rifle and quite likely. was smuggled into libya after the u.n. sanctions imposed over this country you know some experts speculate that some of

those guns could have come into libya before those were in paul's story even in the early years of production regime because the assault rifle was. in 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 of this but if occasion of ethanol is quite recent also it doesn't make sense for could both hear pushers of these guns for his own and if you take a look at the pictures of the libyan army the can see of the use mostly kalashnikov glance with extremely cheap and high live a level thirty nine millimeter cartridge it makes no sense to why i need to weapon which is not a fair trade for thought nature cartridge which is quite expensive it's much more expensive thirty nine millimeter cottage for gun which is produced all over the all

the north korea in china everywhere so actually we can see it at this point recently cation five and fall could have come from france and quite recently it's a goal known fact. some of the libyan rebel fighters have links with al qaeda this is not look like an absurd situation that they're backed. supplying people who are in no way connected with al qaeda with arms i mean what do we have an audience what we see no need to conscious and their leadership is so much obsessed with getting out of the war with the. here who are the rebels there was not. any other terrorist organizations in iraq before to ensure three they can't go into iraq after saddam of course you spy what as a result of american led invasion what we see now in a matter of contras in tunisia in egypt and in libya where the terrorist

cells are. extremely effective that those cells could easily come into a plateau. russia says it will support the next un resolution on libya but only calls on both sides of the conflict to end the violence and start negotiations but those that know such rhetoric coming from the coalition forces international law professor francis boyle's already have something different on their mind. clearly what we're seeing unfold here 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 amount of military force and pop star in power could have good put together in such a short period of time and less they will see your point get was activated the moment there are more disturbances in law and then goes and then everything now is

going according to plan which is why i believe that since they have failed to arm the poles to darkie with these steps so far the next stage will be moving into a ground invasion on our web site r.t. dot com we take an in-depth look at the e.u. plan humanitarian aid mission as it moves of intentions or a way to sneak a ground operation under the covers to get all the latest developments on the conflict in libya as well as expert analysis and opinion. about the battle of artistic merit as a giant piece of her freaky scoops top russian art of war many question whether was essentially vandalism should receive such an honor and a more arty gotten. operation has become a hotbed for terrorism with extremists preachers and boston minds freely able to operate there the news has come to light in the latest wiki leak which reveals at

least thirty five guantanamo detainees have been trained for terrorism in london mosques the secret files also suggest an alleged al qaeda bomber worked as an informer for british intelligence agency france reports from london. eighteen of these detainees reported lead to have come out of britain or from abroad seventeen of them were either british nationals or at the documents said they were asylum seekers from arab countries who then filtered into the u.k. and received their training here in london now most notably in the documents finsbury park mosque was cited its northern london mosque here that was cited as an attack planning and propaganda adoption base and this was not new to the u.s. military officials who actually drafted these documents this mosque was known as a bear with powerful training ground for many of these men out for quite a while in fact these documents do raise

a very big question about where security and government forces were during the time that london gained such a strong reputation as being such a hotbed for these for these training techniques in fact actually earned the nickname within these doc documents as long as i understand so it does raise a lot of questions about where security and government forces were in quelling distribute taishan and stopping these men from filtering into the u.k. and out into terrorist hotbeds around the world. but that has to be classified documents also suggest that the guantanamo bay detention camp is being peppered with innocent people in all openness and culture which any research fellow with the head of retractions society says that the number of radical islamists coming out of the u.k. is reaching a critical point. it's a a need to stop these kind of creatures calling for the murder of people as they were happily doing the other nine hundred ninety s.

and we have made some inroads in there for british government house stuffing hate creatures from entering the u.k. of course more can always be gone look at the amount of convictions as painting u.k. courts and the amounts of suicide on myself either in the u.k. or carried out suicide bombings abroad the numbers are frightening and i did research looking at the terrorist convictions between ninety ninety nine and two thousand and nine and you're looking at iraq hundred twenty people the last thirty i just in this country alone who have been convicted in british courts that doesn't even begin to include some of those mentioned in the. files. we would also like for moscow let's check out some other world headlines now in brief in yemen physician leaders are the first agreed to a power transfer plan which will see the college president step down previously rejected you know if you really didn't feel that demands were ali abdullah saleh to go immediately under the new deal which has yet to be formally accepted by either
