all of the holiday inn. hotel. in the region country clubs so boring sure to find this piece of the first book not sure can pinsky switzer chill closely hold bill to let me know it's come golden beachy coach. of the week's top stories as russia blocks a un resolution over syria could ignite another fully fledged civil war in which questions are raised over who will be next to sink into violence. it seems to persuade people that there could be a terrorist list of troops stationed it's easy for people in france to believe well that they have a right to listen to my vocals which they do proud steps up security at home preparing for friends from nato forming a government is accused of invading people's privacy. the world marks the

anniversary of the worst ever nuclear accident or the radioactive threat still present twenty five years after the disaster. plans of punishment was a controversial piece of the tickets a state prize critics say it's an act of vandalism and i'm not. sure you're watching r t and our weekly news review welcome to the program well this week the arab world has remained inflamed nato bombing still raining down on libya syria saw a balance crackdown against protesters syrian troops continue their siege of the southern city they're upset with reports suggesting forty thousand people were killed over the weekend five hundred. breast implant in march washington has imposed a new set of sanctions on. i look at the souls of the syrian government to decide

justice for god. so part of the problems in the arab world may not be doing any favors for israel its closest friends in the region. these gunmen mean business and they're upping the stakes just that little bit higher at least use the egyptian regime like the zionist enemy trying to stop us foreigners in girls or we always got the weapons we needed to find design is the enemy. and now they're getting more than they could ever hope for but for me gyptian president hosni mubarak's men gone the borders couldn't be easier to get through the big wins. who will. who. have much more freedom to do whatever they like. and they're doing it smuggling weapons into gaza the result two attacks in three months on

a natural gas pipeline that supplies a quarter of israel's electricity which is why is the u.s. claims it's bringing a new tomorrow to egypt most israelis would rather remember gives two year the eagerness of the united states to topple the former egyptian president hosni mubarak and bring about regime change as i want to meet most harmed closest ally in the region israel the u.s. says it wants to establish democracy in the region but instead of democracy there very real possibility that radical islamic could come to power the u.s. strongly supported the opposition in libya despite al qaeda connections among its ranks now it's currently governance and support against syrian president bashar assad but the wiki leaks website claiming that washington has been funding some anti-government factions what is afraid that if he goes away. the muslim brotherhood can think seal so instead of incident in syria we're going to islamist. talking one dictator for what could be worse if and when radicals how to

power their nightly to direct the arms at israel it will be very conscious of the fact that syria is not libya and the fact that if you do decide to intervene in syria you will have knock on effects across the region in iraq in lebanon through israel palestine what every new threat israel my face from an even more hostile arab world emerging from the present instability some experts believe the security of the jewish state is not under any grave threat israel has never been and i would say place one of the greatest lies a mother and father of all lies as it relates to the israeli colors so in conflict is israel's been in danger of annihilation i detail in the three volumes of my book it is a complete israel's existence as never been danger from any combination of arab military force and that is unlikely to change in any foreseeable future pukka fighters on the ground aren't giving up hope and there are minister morning

is at his worst to come. and live on the time of defeat and retreat is over now it's time for the israeli people and the israeli enemy to pay. is what is keeping quiet amid the coming to chaos in the middle east and north africa but behind closed doors they'll be plenty of disquiet here about how much america's desire to make new friends in the arab world is fueling serious instability policy archie television. but there are fears that continuing violence in syria right it paved the way for foreign intervention there to this week russia along with china blocked u.n. security council resolution on it because i think the west bank of european nations moscow and beijing argue that outside intervention or anything to further destabilization in the fully fledged civil war. would invent well says libya's experience easily a sovereign state can be attacked of the guise of protecting civilians. well if you

look at what what the us did to engineer the. un resolution on libya this was one of the most. brazen transgressions of the rights of nation national sovereignty and international law that we've seen in the post world war two period the responsibility to protect is an insidious doctrine that spend developed by various think tanks connected with the circles in the united states to justify a nato definition of an intervention in a sovereign country fortunately this time russia and china are playing a reasonable role in blocking any u.n. security council sanctions or. strong measures against syria so i think they learned from their deadly mistake on the libya case when they abstain that this thing has no when and if it's allowed to pass. libya and nato air strike has hit

colonel gadhafi compound in tripoli a quarter of a killing one of his sons it's not the first time the alliance has made parents attempt to leave his knife and early this week russia's prime minister has the coalition to stop reaching the u.n. resolution. the theme to ensure the coalition said destroying get their feet was not by goal. his palaces now some officials have claimed eliminating him was in fact their goal gave them that right did he have a fair trial returning to the no fly zone the bombings are destroying the country's entire infrastructure when the so-called civilized world uses all its military power against a small country destroying what's been created by generations i don't know if that's good. websites we're asking for your opinion why has intervention happened in libya and syria different things in the ship's star hasn't sat down

just as soon as a smaller one. time for wanting to ask again whatever you think they have your say starting to. the rest in a little a stan north africa it all feels not just by western powers but from within the region itself according to the president of ghana he spoke exclusively to watson and then here's a preview of coming to. some countries of the region is the north sea countries can live at least tendencies currently seen in the so-called new middle east it is nice controlled chaos scenarios are prepared for it is enough to have a look at what is going on in egypt a new zero in other countries cannot be called otherwise and what against the region. now with france taking active part in their toes when the of libya fares are rising that could result in the bench attacks and security alerts in the country has been

forgotten waves which are personnel into france the streets. of cairo bushell reports the pressure has been met with accusations the government is running the state. soldiers on the streets with machine guns this is france is busy pierrette fifty of your most expensive anti terror programs to fight what it calls a growing terrorist threat the government claims troops make a public feel safer but that's not what people think they look a little bit dangerous they can. use the force and the other way there is a bit frightened of it to guard. the. premier francois feel says troops are required because france libya threatens a terror attack at home you'll never find soldiers at shops tourist sites government buildings train stations airports schools and churches but exposed to

the system doesn't even work in the main feature of terrorism is that it's impossible to foresee. real targets is not to catch terrorists says one investigator puts a monitor of the public it's easier to persuade people that they can be a terrorist just that your station it's easy then for people in friends to believe well then they have a right to listen to my phone calls which they do they do do it they have a right to monitor my emails and facebook because they're really protecting us troops are only the visible part or sorties canel read people's emails under a law passed quietly in february president sarkozy also signed a bill for police to tap phones without getting judges authorization to justify the invasion of people's privacy says one author because he makes france's six million arabs a scapegoat he has to make them afraid thinking that there is an arab with

a bomb here down down. the government recently branded muslims a problem and burned the muslim full. some already mock the band and what they see as an arab witch hunt by going out in veils and mini skirts there's also the large cost world workers continue to be laid off in the economic crisis video estimated prices eighteen billion euro each year enough to create a million new teaching jobs and embarrassed government analysts tries to hide the amount. is very expensive because the executive can move from one area to another quite quickly it's very difficult to find an exact figure critics like michelle cologne have dubbed the video system vishy pierrette vishy was france's first used regime in the second world war it spied and informed people and targeted ethnic

minorities. the french government today stands accused of doing the same to its own citizens the new bush or r.t. paris. another consequence of taking part in operations in libya is a wave of immigrants hitting the country trying to escape the conflict. in the pen the president of france is far right party inspired controversy by claiming it threatens the very survival french nation. because they say we're in a democracy from the authorities refused to show the real figures on how many immigrants there are there are probably sixty seven million listeners here already plus additional immigration on a massive scale each year this is an organized replacement of our population this threatens our very survival but we don't have the means to integrate those who are already here there is though it's endless cultural conflicts you can be against

immigration fights immigration stand all immigration or not it immigrants of individuals i understand immigrants wants a better future here what i honestly say to them you can't find a better future head with finding a heart of a better future to our own people as it is. but you can see the full interview with marine le pen on our website at r.t. dot com. monday the world about twenty five years since the worst accident of history it's a noble blast sends a huge radioactive cloud across much of europe. and around the reactor poisoned for centuries to come. it's not every day you can see the chernobyl exclusion zone in ukraine as crowded as this hundreds of living the russian and ukrainian presidents came to the morning and decide the nuclear plant to mark the date at which changed the world the twenty fifth anniversary of

the chernobyl fallout. i believe because of the huge amount of citizens from ukraine and russia was put in to deal with the aftermath of this tragedy in the face of such disasters we should be honest it's the government's obligation to tell people the truth we need to admit to the back and then see that the government was not always doing the right thing nowadays the zone looks like this deserted streets and abandoned houses however a quarter of a century ago it was the place to be in the soviet union salaries for the residents of the town of pretty payouts were higher living standards better and infrastructure more developed that communist paradise changed on april the twenty six nineteen eighty six when the chernobyl reactor exploded the result of an experiment left in the wrong hands. with. a reactor was almost completely out of control and from the fifth but it could still have been saved and management pushed for a completion of an experiment personal hesitated and were reluctant to and eventually

couldn't go against the authorities we all know the result real meanwhile the town's population had no idea about the disaster people were enjoying an unusually sunny saturday outdoors with me and my friend we ran away from school the play in a beach we returned home all covered 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 had already heard rumors of some action in the nuclear station all thora he started the evacuation only thirty six hours after the blast that's why many of those who stayed in the town later died or suffered radiation sickness michaela kearney uncle was among the evacuees from the thirty kilometer zone but just several years after the catastrophe she returned to the fir bit inland having lived there for more than two decades she says she wants to see the end of her days in the land where she was born because they gave me a flat and the pension either found it impossible to survive like that unclear here

have a council and a grow every mediation yes there is a little here but you can find a place without it anywhere we are not scared. despite this optimism from recyclers the world still seems concerned about the children of all throughout and especially in the wake of the fukushima disaster that's why head of this anniversary countries invested more than five hundred million euro into constructing a new confinement and testing to seal the exploding reactor for another century this is probably the last time we have managed to see the infamous chimney of the fourth work of the church nor will nuclear power station people behind the news or quarter get saved up next year it will be dismantled then the station will be covered with a deal and that will end the existence of the children or build nuclear power station but the former residents of this area say matters little to them their life as they knew it had ended twenty five years ago let's see russia r.t. reporting from the chill noble exclusion zone in ukraine since the beginning of the

crisis in japan parallels have been drawn chernobyl disaster sustainable energy expert professor tom burke says the effects of fukushima could be extremely serious and that's likely to be a long lasting battle they have not actually regained control of the reactors and so there are still risks that they will be further explosions or releases of radiation either to the air or to water which to the sea which has been happening all through this process they've got a bit more manageable of you than they had earlier on but this bent is still ongoing to show nable event was over very quickly it was an explosion and it was over relatively quickly this is clearly going to run and run for months and what is very clear from what happened in focus shima is the japanese neither the utility nor the government really had a well worked out and thought through emergency plan to deal with a catastrophic event like this. spoke to a man who fought against the consequences of the chernobyl blast as part of the

so-called liquidators. sure everything was difficult it would temper was difficult each day we're facing a real chance to hatch we resolve somehow easy our experience. with us or i have a member of the chernobyl cleanup team on our website. where you'll also find especially document from across the street. russian security forces carried out a string of successful terror operations in the north caucuses this week the latest on friday ten members of a terrorist cell killed off they refused to surrender and open former officials believe they had links to al qaida and them all the time tourist visa of the

brewery killed three people from. also on thursday the six minutes of a simple number of attacks on civilians were killed republican guard. watson's tom barton runs to the north caucuses investigate what drives young people to join terrorist cells. a busy day at university in russia's north caucasus these students are learning about arab culture and language catering to broaden their horizons so it was sort of builds brother mill until radical islamists took hold on him. through i saw the way his stare changed he became alienated from everyone and brainwashing teaches them to be ready for the next world so they stopped paying attention to this one by the end of university he had started to take food to militant friends and hide it when seville warned him to stop it he left home forever as locals say he had gone into the forest yet by washable i already felt something inevitable and sad was coming but i didn't know

what to do i didn't have a chance to stop him when he left home from what she knows it was a month later the police surrounded a group of militants the attackers terms couple they were ready to surrender but their leader started shooting people but the deadly gun battle in which they all died including money in another of the regions capitals now take its friday prayers at the city's main mosque but this is a muslim community living under a cloud three months ago the leader republic's mufti was shot dead outside his home by muslim extremists. and as such i've had been a vocal critic of both your thirty's and the extremists saying there is corruption in the police as in other spheres of society but it doesn't mean that policeman are to be shot dead. jordan when their ideologists say they are there to make people scared of islam i can't agree islam is not a thing to be afraid of the only way to promote islam is to make people see the

beauty of it if they are scared of it they will refuse it. but since the ninety nine she's more extreme forms of islam for to come from outside russia has been growing influence. university staff are concerned at how impressionable some students are proved to be they say the region's muslim majority was not be made to feel alienated we need. to speak more about the slap to show the russian federation our government our constitution all wars they. do not do anything against as well as itself radical islam isn't fought over right in the region until the second chechen campaign started in one thousand nine hundred since then although widespread fighting has died down the methods of small extremist groups bombings and shootings uplift rate the question nervously asked here now is whether the radicals ideology and methods

a lot of desperation or growing confidence bottom out. but i think that now it's not the headlines around the world it's tens of thousands of pilgrims are gathering to use the ceremony of a vacation date on the second by the heads of state are also expected to visit the president of the seized. rental property in the. late pontiff is said to have performed miracles as for. the last second. german. they're aware left the stemmons freighters have clashed with police even ten officers injured. so what's the cause of rubbish terrorism threw stones and pay bribes security has been stepped up across the country to rent a movie screen it runs to her as international as has been accompanied with protests decades. meanwhile in russia there is not

a move first of rape various come from perceptions alex cross the country and while it may be labor day workers the us the old people's rights as a three day break is giving people a chance to meet up. it's hard so that they scream and they put a strain on united way of the u.s. itself across the join us for the articles of the own host of good stuff that's all coming out of. joint piece of graffiti as a nazi bait in the russian arts world after what really was seen as an obscene image was i did a national award for work drawn next to the federal security office and simply just put recognition as a sign of an emerging from society in russia explains. peace is award winning art according to russian's ministry of culture a sixty five metre phallus whitewashed on

a drawbridge in st petersburg has won the twenty ten innovation prize for best visual arts work self-styled aren't terrorists by now meaning war in russian are the unpopular with us the arts or 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 already here in the center of contemporary art in 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 russian youth group is angry four hundred thousand rubles of taxpayers' money given to a group it calls vandals for vyner the protest only legitimizes their own but.

it's a very old what situation when a state award goes to a group that in fact organizes an action aimed against the state but this is a very important signal with artists always express society's pain and a healthy society accepts these people. but there's been no acceptance of by noah's ark until now two members still face trial on hooliganism charges for this little stunt british who thinks the arctic banksy did bail the land they could still play seven years in prison and clearing skies so why the sudden show of state support. the minister of culture was afraid of being accused of political censorship and i think he was right in our country is better being afraid of imposing political censorship than to actually import your breezewood. in. a sea change from four years ago this image of two kissing policemen was banned by the culture ministry for international exhibits fearing embarrassment the curator of back it's

a bishop was handed a year affair back then he lost his job but this time he was on the jury so why is this out then. the touring 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 a strong protest is brewing in russian society for having draw the line between saying this art and vandalism because this is clearly discomfiting. not that street art is mine of vandalism but is not hooliganism the disorder it may cause is 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 there is proof of a civil society. viner 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 the prize money to political prisoners i didn't it r.t. moscow. back with headlines in a couple minutes stay with us here at.
