easily a sovereign state can be attacked under the guise of protecting civilians well if you look at 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's been 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 on the libya case when they actually. has

like michelle cologne have dubbed the video system vishy pierrette vishy was france's first just 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 don't you bush or r.t. paris or another consequence of france taking part in operations in libya is a wave of immigrants hitting the country trying to escape the conflict. in the pen president of france's right national front party and sparked controversy by claiming it threatens the survival of the french nation. and so they say we're in a democracy but authorities refused to show the real figures on how many immigrants there are there are probably sixty seven million muslims here already plus additional immigration on a massive scale each year this is an organized replacement of our population this
5:13 am
threatens our very survival 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 suspend all immigration but not hate immigrants as individuals i understand immigrants wants a better future hey what i honestly say to them you can't find a better future hey we're finding it hard to give a better future to our own people as it is. seen to be with her in the pen on our website after. the world market twenty five years since the worst in history it's a noble blast sent a huge radioactive cloud across much of europe and that around a reactor poisoned for centuries to come. it's not every day you can see the chernobyl exclusion zone in ukraine as crowded as this hundred singling the russian and ukrainian presidents came to the mornin beside the
5:14 am
nuclear plant to mark the date which changed the world the twenty fifth anniversary of the chernobyl fallout. i believe because of the huge amount of citizens news from ukraine and russia was put in to deal with the aftermath of this tragedy and the face of substance asters 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 p.p.h. were higher living standards better and infrastructure more developed the 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. the reactor was almost completely out of control in april twenty fifth but it could

still have been saved by the management committee for a completion of an experiment personal hesitated were locked into it eventually couldn't go against the authorities we'll know if there is an old video 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 plate of 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 this she had already heard rumors of some action in the nuclear station both already started the evacuation only thirty six hours after the last that's why many of those who stayed in the town later died or suffered radiation sickness but will occur in the end who was among the evacuees from the thirty kilometer zone just several years after the catastrophe she returned to the fervid 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 we think they gave the affluent and the pension but i found it impossible to survive like that in kiev here. haven't tried to enter grow every clean yes there is a little here but you can find a place without it anywhere we're not scared. despite this optimism from recent loose the world still seems concerned about the chernobyl threat especially in the wake of the fukushima disaster that's why i heard of this anniversary countries invested more than five hundred million euro into constructing a new confinement destined 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 quarter of the chernobyl nuclear power station people behind the new circle for good say that next year it will be dismantled then the station will be covered with a dog and that will end the existence of the church of mobile nuclear power station but the former residents of this area say it 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 channel novel exclusion zone in ukraine. since the beginning of the nuclear crisis in japan parallels have been drawn with the chernobyl disaster sustainable energy expert professor tom burke says the effects of machinery could be extremely serious and what's likely to be a long lasting battle. they have not actually regained control of the reactors and so there are still risks that there 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 now they've got a bit more manageability than they had earlier on but this event is still ongoing it was over very quickly 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 fukushima is the japanese neither the utah machine nor the government
5:18 am
really had a well thought through emergency plan to deal with a catastrophic event like this but in two hours time you can watch our special reports from the exclusion zone which. best mysteries of the desert town at. this time silent for decades. twenty five years ago retired paid fifty thousand vibration over ukrainian town it was like you waited with three hours. but now it wants to be heard recently some people started receiving post notices telling them to big up letters at this post office in. the stories of the world are long gone. have to be told i'm. reading the diaries of the ghost of our two. russian security

forces carried out a string of successful terror operations in the north caucasus this week the latest resulted in the deaths of ten militants especially the kind of carrying out attacks against civilians within the country. this biggest achieving operation was carried out at the altar between statical region and about the republic when ten militants including at least two women were killed and among them were some high profile terrorists with links with the international terrorist group al qaida in this region further d.n.a. tests would probably be required to identify some of the militants some leading figures in a so-called box on gang were already identified as big that's true it was believed to be involved in a number of across the area now enough of among terrorists ask you if it was
5:20 am
believed to be involved in attacking tourist from moscow in the district in february twentieth loven then earlier in the week another special operation was carried out. and the leader of the republic runs on could be that of was personally in charge of this operation militants that were killed that were later identified asked close associates to russia's most wanted terrorist. in the neighboring dagestan a leader of the so-called. guys there was also killed in a special operation now this wave of terror raids was launched after a number of high profile terror attacks in russia. well we've got extensive coverage of the anti terror crackdown in russia on our web site. including an exclusive interview with president obama start look at the forefront. of the search operations will continue until we have eliminated the terrorist

underground in the republic. after that incident has started as well as the latest updates in the background information on our website our teeth. now a giant piece of graffiti has ignited debate in the russian art world after what many perceived as an obscene image was branded a national award the work drawn next to the federal security office and this work was given recognition as a sign of an emerging free society in russia and it expects. this is award winning art according to russia's ministry of culture a sixty five metre phallus whitewashed on a drawbridge and petersburg has won the twenty ten innovation prize for best visual artwork self-styled art terrorists vyner meaning war in russian are the unpopular with us. i think it's essentially vandalism a breach is
5:22 am
a cultural and historical monument and to pin anything on it is an act of vandalism and it should be punished not rewarded and. here in the center of contemporary art you can see the other entries for the award nothing is stimulating or a shocking or innovative as viner's 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 this 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 that. it's a very old world situation when the state award goes to a group that in fact organizes an action aimed against mistakes but this is a very important signal with artists always express society's pain and a healthy society accepts peace. but there's been no acceptance of by noah's ark
5:23 am
until now two members still face trial on hooliganism charges for this little stunt pritish graffiti artist banksy detailed plans and they could still place seven years in prison and flipping coins so why this sudden show of state support for. the minister of culture was afraid of being accused of political censorship and i think he was right and our country is better being afraid of imposing political censorship and to actually important breezewood. in. a sea change from four years ago this image of two kissing policeman was banned by the culture ministry for international exhibits fearing embarrassment the curator of that exhibit was angry yet a fair back then he lost his job but this time he was on the jury so rises up and. the turing is a graphic and expressive example of how long this reacts to
5:24 am
a social climate he doesn't specify the target of his protest when he simply says that strong protest is brewing in russian society but how do you draw the line between say this art and randomness and because this is clearly just graffiti. not street art is minor vandalism but it's not hooliganism the disorder it may cause it is compensated hundreds of times by the meaning of the pictures which is painted could be restored on the bridge to become a symbol of simply to urge culture because it's the first work that is proof of a civil society. by no court controversy usually at the expense of the authorities whether it's bought or not they've achieved what they wanted to know to write it they say they'll donate the prize money to political prisoners i didn't it take. a brief look at some other headlines around the world in italy benedict
