a new dome to contain the still doesn't lead levels of radiation. and a creative controversy in extreme in russia against a major state prize while critics say they should be prosecuted for federalism. and broadcasting live from our studios and some from moscow this is our teeth we're certainly glad to have you with us in libya the u.n. offices have been attacked by a mob of prompting the withdrawal of all international staff from tripoli the embassies of britain and italy have also come under attack and are believed to have suffered considerable damage it comes just hours after a nato airstrike killed the youngest son of the libyan leader moammar gadhafi and three of his grandchildren philadelphia however was not heard on the attack and shell chossudovsky from the canada based center for research on globalization

thanks nato and of us in particularly have consistently shown the rule of law means nothing to them. think drop balls and missiles and the evidence suggests that apartment buildings in tripoli have been targeted hospitals or be targeted and now we have a rather conspicuous and despicable act of targeting the family of the head of state namely his son as well as his grandchildren and and we can make our own judgments but this kind of behavior is in derogation of international law nothing allows the united states. to go into a country and start killing the head of state or members of his family i would hope that russia and china will take the initiative of confronting the united states britain france in the security council the united nations this is

these are illegal acts they're in violation of the un charter and above all they are undertaken by countries which are involved in in war crimes in other parts of the world and we are going to stand in pakistan revolutionary fever in syria shows no sign of letting up around seventy people have reportedly been killed since friday in military crackdowns against anti-government demonstrations that's on top of some five hundred other deaths in two months of syrian our people in the wake of the latest bloodshed the u.s. has tightened sanctions and intensified its rhetoric against the country's political elite meanwhile syria's neighbor israel fears washington's role in the region's recent turbulence could backfire by clearing the way for extremists artie's parsley or has more from tel aviv. which these kind mean mean business and they're upping the stakes just that little bit higher than these years the egyptian

regime i design is the enemy trying to stop us foreigners and girls are and we always got the weapons we needed to find his way and it's the enemy. and now they give more than they could ever hope for but for me gyptian president hosni mubarak's ning gone the borders couldn't be easier to get through today the big wins in the. world. who. have much more freedom to do whatever they like. and they 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 years to year begin at the united states to topple the former egyptian president hosni mubarak and bring about regime change has ironically most harmed its closest ally in the region israel the u.s.

says it wants to establish democracy in the region but instead of the marchese is a 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 apparently 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 you go the way. the muslim brotherhood can take six so instead of in freedom would you consider we are we're going to an islamist. swapping one dictator for what could be worse if and when medicals how to power their nightly to direct the arms at israel it will be very conscious about 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 might face from an even more hostile arab world emerging from the president's debility some experts

believe the security of the jewish state is not under any grave threat israel has never been an unsafe place and one of the greatest lie is the mother and father of all lies as it relates to the israeli palestinian conflict is that israel's been in danger of annihilation i detail in the three volumes of my book it is a complete lie israel's existence is never ever been danger from any combination of arab military force and that is unlikely to change in any foreseeable future but the fighters on the ground aren't giving up hope and there are ministers mourning is that is worse to come. and the obama time of defeat and retreat is over now it's time for the israeli people and the israeli enemy to day. 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 points here are t. tell of of. u.n. security council has failed to pass a statement condemning the syrian government for its use of force against anti-government protesters some nations that blocked the move fearing it could lead to a repeat of the situation in libya russia was among the countries that objected to the memorandums on saying that outside interference would only lead to further destabilization and a fully fledged civil war journalist and author of he says any nato intervention would have far reaching consequences it is notable that former lasix agent alastair cook has been quoted here in this country as saying that the reports from on the ground in syria very much with larry it's easy to say what's happening in syria of course with syria would result in. so much disastrous.

consequences i mean. the straits of hormuz palestinian groups of people in egypt will probably rise up against it because syria is such a linchpin. that everything that is against us has your moronic power know in in the middle east. and we have breaking news at this hour media reports to say u.s. president barack obama is about to announce that the world's most wanted terrorist osama bin laden has been killed the president is expected to make a live t.v. broadcast from the white house and announce the killing and the positive identification of the body of osama bin laden of course we'll bring you more on this breaking news as it develops once more if you're just joining us u.s. president barack obama expected to announce that the world's most wanted terrorist osama bin laden has been killed. now moving on to other news france fears it's a leading role in nato the libyan campaign makes it vulnerable to attacks on its

soil in response and new security measures including searching emails without permission and putting soldiers on the streets have been introduced but critics say france is being turned into a police state. soldiers on the streets with machine guns this is france's busy pier at system your most expensive anti terror program so for what it calls the growing terrorist threats the government claims troops make the public feel safer but that's not what people think they look a little bit dangerous they can. use the force and other way there is a good fright to guard. the. premier francois feels his troops are required because france bombing 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 expose save

the system doesn't even work and the main feature of terrorism is that it's impossible to foresee. real targets is not to catch terrorists says one investigator but to monitor the public it's easier to persuade people that there could be a terrorist risk littoral station it's easy for people in france 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 thirty's can now read people's emails under a law passed quietly in february president sarkozy also signed a bill for police to tap phones with belts 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. here that. the government recently branded muslims a problem and banned the muslim full. some already mocked the band and what they see as an arab witch hunt by going else in veils and mini skirts there's also the launch cost world workers continue to be laid off in the economic crisis. debated prices eighteen billion euros each year enough to create a million new teaching jobs and embarrassed government analysts say 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 who have got the video systems vishy pirouettes vishy was france's first

regime in the second world war it spoiled and did for people and targeted ethnic minorities the french government today stands accused of doing the same old citizens. r.t. paris still to come up may day russian style. we join those marching in the streets of moscow on labor day and a look at the history of the holiday as it is celebrated. plus the fine line between fine art and a graphic a controversial work gets a state prize but critics say it's just an act of vandalism. and this week marks the twenty fifth anniversary of one of the worst manmade catastrophes in history disaster even today the thirty kilometer exclusion zone is a grim reminder of the dangers of nuclear negligence it lies cold and desolate and as the reports it will for centuries to come. it's not every

day you can see the chernobyl exclusion zone in ukraine as crowded as this hundreds and looting the russian and ukrainian presidents came to the mornin beside the nuclear plant to mark the date which changed the world the twenty fifth anniversary of the chernobyl fallout at the labors of a huge amount of citizens from ukraine and russia was put in to deal with the aftermath of this tragedy and 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 then 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 the management pushed for the completion of an experiment personnel hesitated and were reluctant to but eventually couldn't go against the authorities we all know the result. 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 pleated beach we returned home or called in mud up it when mother asked me where i'd been i lived in a cleaning school yard and she was shocked as she'd already heard rumors some action in the nuclear standoff 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 modularity uncle was among the evacuees from the thirty

kilometer zone but just several years after they were tasked to feed she returned to the verb it 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 could be on the pension but i found it impossible to survive like that in clear view of me i have a condo and a grow every mediation yes there is a little here that you can find a place without it anywhere we are not scared. despite this optimism from researchers 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 and you can find i don't destined to see all the exploded reactor for another century this is probably the last time we have managed to see the infamous chimney of the fourth walk of the chernobyl nuclear power station people behind the new circle forget to say that next year it will be dismantled then the station will be covered with

adults and that will end the existence of the children or build 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. reporting from the chernobyl exclusion zone in ukraine with a chair nobbles anniversary reviving all the nuclear fears attention turns to the ongoing crisis and japan's fukushima nuclear power plant professor christopher busby from the european committee on radiation risks says a slow government response to the crisis has put many more people at risk it's much less under control going to normal was i have to say that the the soviet system moved very fast to try and contain what was happening up to normal and the japanese have been very very lax and in the way in which they took people out of the exclusion zone and they still haven't enough people out of an exclusion zone which should cause i'm concerned go out at least sixty or seventy kilometers they're

measuring enormous amounts of radioactivity on the ground up to seventy kilometers reporting this so so that and these are mind sort of higher than the amounts in the channel exclusion zone and we have increases in radioactivity near tokyo or south of tokyo so the difference really is that there's a very very much larger population risk in japan and then there was interest although a quarter of a century ago with rumors of an explosion and chernobyl on every street thousands of healthy young men were ordered onto planes and helicopters and flown to that site. you. will receive what we would i didn't have the understanding of what was happening there and even exposure to the site was in ruins that's about it watch artie's exclusive interview with one of the men who became known as the liquidators that's on our website at our time dot com there's also plenty more on travel there for you putting a special documentary from the heart of the exclusion zone. if

. this week russian security forces carried out a series of attacks against the terrorist network in the north caucasus the latest operation saw ten militants including two normal world lords killed as the no question of our reports from the region the al qaeda linked group is believed to be behind many attacks against civilians this biggest achieving operation was carried out on the border between the region and could have been about the republic when ten militants including at least two women were killed and among them were some high profile terrorists with links with international terrorist group al qaida in this region d.n.a. task would probably be required to identify some of the militants or some leading figures in

a so-called box on gang were already identified it's caused truth was believed to be involved in a number of terror attacks across the area now and nothing among terrorists ascared jump with was believed to be involved in attacking tourist from moscow in the alpers district in february twentieth love and then earlier in the week and now the special operation was carried out. and the leader of the republic runs on could be the was personally in charge of operation militants that were killed were later identified to ask close associates to russia's most wanted terrorist. in the neighboring drug is done a leader of the so-called hi. guys if was also killed in a special operation now this way folks on t. terror raids was launched hand after a number of high profile terror attacks in russia. and i do not question over reporting for us there now we also have the latest updates and background

information about russia's fight against terrorists on our website. the particular social graces will continue until we have eliminated the terrorist underground in the republic. we speak to the president of pakistan one of the regions facing the ongoing militant attacks and also for you at a party dot com. this web page aims to prove that you can buy love with money by proxy. and when the big apple needs some extra cash it turns up a seat on smokers and it austrians. the decision to hand of the national art award to a controversial piece of graffiti drawn in the historical center of st petersburg has sparked debate in russia many see the giant phallic symbol as obscene others say it's the sign of an emerging civil society i bet it looks at both sides.

this is award winning art according to russia's ministry of culture a sixty five metre phallus watch washed on a drawbridge instant petersburg has won the twenty thousand innovation prize for best visual arts work self-styled aren't terrorists by now meaning war in russian are the unpopular with us yet there are i think it's essentially vandalism or a bridge is a cultural and historical monument and to pin anything on it is an act of vandalism and it should be punished not rewarded woody here in the center of contemporary art and see the other entries for the award nothing is stimulating are shocking or innovative as finance and according to the jury that's why they won purely on artistic merits 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 fandom divina the protest only legitimizes there and that. it's a very awkward situation when the state award goes to a group that in fact organizes an action aimed against the state but this is a very important signal with the artists always express societies and trainers and to help a society accept these. but there's been no acceptance of binah as art until now team members still face trial on hooliganism charges for this little stunt british graffiti are a crank see detailed plans they could still play seven years or flipping hailstones 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 in the polls that you're presenting. for

a sea change from four years ago this image of two kissing policemen was banned by the culture ministry from international exhibits fearing embarrassment a curator evacuate submission was angry 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 a lot has reacted to a social climate where 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 arts and vandalism because this is clearly discomfiting. not with a street auntie's mind of vandalism but it's not hooliganism the disorder it may cause it is compensated hundreds of times by what the meaning of the pictures which is painted could be restored on the bridge to become a symbol of soupy desserts culture because it is the first work there is proof of the civil society. why no courts controversy usually at the expense of the

authorities whether it's on it 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. . and again we have breaking news this hour media reports say u.s. president barack obama is about to announce that the world's most wanted terrorists are some of bin laden has been killed he was reportedly killed by a u.s. drone outside of the pakistani capital islamabad the president is expected at a not a live t.v. broadcast from the white house and announce the killing and the positive identification of the body of osama bin laden of course we'll bring you more on this program news as it develops once more if you have just joined us u.s. president barack obama expected to announce that the world's most wanted terrorist osama bin laden has been killed. put fuel in approved now taking

family now not just three action to their names and one and everyone is on the streets of the capital including some of the more extreme organizations like of course the old slow bright movement in moscow some go as far as to call them neo nazis or even as far as fascist they of course standing and walking down the streets of the russian capital slogans such as russia hold russians. very few people could have imagined that these guys would be allowed to walk the streets and yet here they are with their banners their slogans and of course their unconventional covered up faces but they're not the only ones who are allowed to walk the streets of moscow on this day we know that many other groups that when traditionally be included in the first of may parades did walk the streets of the capital we know that the russian gay community also took to the streets and

fortunately for them perhaps they chose to join our economy this rally and they were not well received there but luckily no scuffles ensued and of both respective parties simply went their respective ways as well as those groups and you know that various other demonstrations took place and even one monstrous now that is a specific group created by an artist called for the most absurd slogans and banners to be brought to the streets of the capital island deede cities across russia that is exactly what they did standing in the heart of the capital with slogans such as bring back the sun which is of course not exactly a very feasible thing to do. no but they had fun and that was many say is what matters that seems to have become the spirit of may for i also like these people take it that more seriously for others it is just a day when everything is possible and they do have a chance to speak their mind or maybe even have

a little thought. our debate show cross talk is coming up but first i'll be back with a recap of our top stories.
