desperation intensifies and u.s. debt collectors resorting to math here start backwards to make americans pay their way. and as many countries question their nuclear safety in light of the fukushima crisis our team is calling a new russian to assess its own ability. you're watching r.t. world news twenty four hours a day while breaking news this hour the u.s. president barack obama has confirmed that the world's most wanted terrorist osama bin laden has been killed a news flash around the world with some sources suggesting the u.s.

is now in possession of his body for more we're joined now by our use a couple of from washington d.c. lucy there was a massive rumor and speculation this morning but now some confirmation. there is in fact and the president just finished speaking shortly ago u.s. president barack obama addressed the nation to announce in fact that the united states has can finally confirm that osama bin laden has been killed by u.s. special forces we're hearing that it was not a drone attack this was actually a firefight on the ground by u.s. special forces right outside of islam of god there was a firefight that was exchanged by some of the loddon has reportedly had reportedly been shot and killed in the head and his body is apparently now in the u.s. in u.s. custody so the president addressed the nation right now to just just earlier go to announce this major developments and and just on a side note in fact you know as i was coming down to the studio to speak about this we've seen cars driving by there were people honking in the street american flags

waving so the news quite quickly at least here in washington d.c. where people are a little bit more tuned into the sort of thing than the rest of the country i guess you can say. for the u.s. . it has indeed been a. you say go ahead go ahead go ahead i think we have a little bit of a delay but anyhow it has indeed been i mean it's been ten years in afghanistan nearly since since the ten year since the nine eleven attacks which really really started the the active hot conflict on the ground in afghanistan but we cannot. forget that the roots of conflict so often go back to foreign policy decisions made years and years ago and you know while the president did say in his speech tonight that the american people did not choose this fight this fight came to the united states in u.s. soil referencing of course the nine eleven attacks we have to remember that the

united states policy of corporately arming them was your idea in afghanistan. back in the eighty's had of course contributed so much to the current situation that we have on the ground today and that's it's one of those things that unfortunately in washington sort of gets really lost in the mix you know we don't really see the consequences of certain foreign policy actions as they relate to the president developments on the ground. ok artie's from washington d.c. thank you for that for now. and start we have live pictures now here on the scene of washington d.c. we can see thousands of people gathering there near the white house in celebration of the news today that some of bin laden has been killed is a spontaneous gatherings of people near washington d.c. . u.s. is facing accusations of policies used in afghanistan and 1980's helping to train

and. another in libya while the pianist state t.v. has shown the bodies of the song and three grandchildren. were killed in a nato airstrike the deaths have sparked a wave of. the country. storming foreign embassies in the capital. british and an embassy suffered considerable damage right. from its mission in that it was also attacked fell. on the town of the based center for a search on google isolation thanks nato has ignored the rule of law. they brought balls and missiles and the evidence suggests that apartment buildings in tripoli have been targeted hospitals have been targeted can only have. rather conspicuous. people act of targeting the family of the head of state namely his

son as well as his grandchildren. and we can make our own judgments but this kind of behavior is interrogation of international law not being allows the united states. to go into a country and start killing head of state all 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 under taken by countries which are involved in. crimes in other parts of the world and we are gonna stand in pockets on. way and get more analysis on the libya campaign called and online right now if he was meant to control it and

have any who shop he says nato military action is simply history repeating itself because of. canadian general. who is in charge of the nato operation over the libya plays dead the alliance does not target any individuals and all the targets ali-g. to military targets i would rather believe this trade shooting the u.s. air force general jumper who as a veteran of the u.s. nato bombing campaign in balkans was pretty honest and straightforward in his assessment that the nato campaign can leave it at least just a replication of the u.s. and nato experience and lessons learned during the balkan campaign against the serbs and nato claims that the target could dasi or his family totally can predict their actions and completely deprives the nato alliance any claims for moral

superiority and in fact equalizes them completely leave those criminals or perpetrators or terrorists they claim they are fighting against. clashes continue in syria with a number of dead has already sort of hundred it's increased speculation it's set to become the next target of foreign intervention. from london says any further nato action would have far reaching consequences. it is notable that former way six a journalistic group has been quoted here in this country as saying that the reports from on the ground in syria to match what our agencies are saying as to what's happening in syria of course illegal with syria would result. in so much disastrous. consequences i mean the straits of hormuz palestinian

groups of people in egypt would probably rise up against it because syria is such a linchpin of. everything that is against us at your money even in the middle east . website r.t. dot com after your opinion as to why nato is bombing libya not syria. it's the amount of oil that has direct willingness to intervene around forty percent are sure that nato strikes in syria are just a matter of time just four percent difference styles and there's. not a lot of that plan and have your say. france has taken one of the most active roles in intervening in uprisings raging in africa and the arab world apart from libya it also sends troops to its former colony ivory coast and results in reports all signs show that the eyes of paris now forty one syria. stalin's cousin was shot by troops

during syria's protests his parents there now live in hiding but he fears france will make things even worse for me his country on the pretext of stopping the violence i don't wish to have. and i thought since syria but i but i. you know it's the same chain of events that brought to war with libya and now on folding its whole first syrian leader bashar al assad was invited for talks in paris as was colonel gadhafi but at the same time france reportedly was funding opposition groups in both states now nicolas sarkozy's government is slapping damascus with sanctions the precursor to the version of libya humanitarian aide says one also will again be their excuse to go in the logic of their intervention in libya is that the shooting of the in. syria was once on the french occupation but analysts say france behaves

as if it's still in control of france they've had their spies there for decades now and the religious movements have had their people there for decades so they're going to do whatever they can to use that influence it change the regime in a way that they see fit intervention would leave france fighting in four wars that hasn't happened since it was a colonial power french defense ministry hasn't been this busy in over fifty years already fighting in afghanistan libya and the ivory coast is now turning its sights on another former colony syria but expose think the real target is serious key ally iran france is growing increasingly angry at tehran's nuclear ambitions and is part of international moves to stop that program to must become a. springboard for the sarkozy administration as it pushes east even tents in syria

progress according to the libyan scenario we will probably see a similar development in iran unfortunately that is iran will repeat the syrian scenario russia watches western military interventions with roy's in a law he warns the fuel in violence across the middle east doesn't really liberally escalating the conflict and is an invitation to a series of civil wars from outside forces it should not interfere give advice or take sides in internal conflicts but russia's foreign minister adds there could be a sting in the tail he says unleashing chaos in the region hopes the very extremist the u.s. wants to stop gaining power valuable szell r.t. paris. the uprising in egypt was called the facebook revolution as protests there were coordinated on the websites pages by julian assange was the founder of wiki leaks says the service has paid a much more sinister well skousen to watching his

year among them collectors resorting to racial slurs anti-semitic remarks and threats of rake certainly any threats of violence or clearly illegal contact with third party it's somebody other than a consumer it is illegal unless it is under very specific circumstances however a debt collector is routinely violated the third party disclosure rules and contact needs and relatives as a means of putting pressure on consumers to pay attorney joseph morrow says most collection agents work on commission only getting paid when i debts been recovered a climate of economic desperation intensifying the use of the legal and aggressive tactics just to net a bounty paycheck there are you know to my knowledge about four or five cases of suicide coming from that collection harassment on has also been heart attacks and strokes ironically our lifeline is always extended to the biggest of them all the

today's edition of crosstalk and his guests debates whether trump's campaign for the presidency making a powerful challenging next year's race for the white house. what it does is this kind of trump theater of the absurd takes an already scrambled wide open field and starts to tell people look this is not the year to run because if this is what we're talking about this shows are you going to get up on a stage as a real candidate with donald trump and talk a lot or say you mean outrageous things will get a lot of coverage will make all of the other candidates look ridiculous. and. the. nuclear safety has come under first scrutiny following the shock some folder that happens at the scene of the recent

anniversary of the chernobyl disaster and added to the fears. of the world there has been trying to find out if that sense of being learned as new stations come online. this is the reactor which is of course part of the power station. the water with the process of fission and then this water goes on and turns and turbines which create the electricity normally if there is an accident if anything goes wrong this reactor shuts down with some special control rods they start the process of fission into fans when the initial quake took place there was a successful shutdown after the water cycle ration system was damaged but even after you shut the rods down even up the stone the stress officially doesn't start straight away there is a remaining process which goes on for several days. in japan it was a special backup system a diesel operated backup system which was supposed to stop the rods from overheating with this leftover fission which was happening but of course the system

was damaged as well. which followed afterwards and this is what has led to the raw . rods cool being a buildup of pressure and eventually the explosions which of state shaken book ashima over the past few days this is the control room obviously the brains of the operation now the project and the station was initially approved in the early eighty's all of this equipment was different was analog before now it's digital. i think to compare this to the sort of technologies that we use into normal is totally inappropriate the system is also made in these computers can do millions of calculations every second so a repeat of that is impossible all the same we can only hope that accidents such a three mile island. and this year will not be repeated any time in the near future . i'll see an even scare power station. now

a brief look at some other news making headlines across the world. flight recorder france jet that crashed into the atlantic two years ago has been found off. to brazil it follows the recent discovery of the wreckage of the sun seabed west to get this one funny deal that caused the crash that killed two hundred seventy eight people onboard a plane came down in a high altitude thunderstorm opposed to you and travels to paris for you to join or . mass crowds are taken to the streets calling for investigations more crimes twenty five year conflict in the country according to a un report released last week shelling by government forces killed tens of thousands of civilians in the last month political differences and direct to the are occasions tunnel separatist groups which are rising from the pending home that the civil war is also part of the criticism in the report.

entirely in the police clashed with left wing elements that exist in the traditional very valley in march was broken up with north accounting office stones and bottles were thrown at shops and banks security was stepped up across the country to prevent trouble on a day that's frequently turned violent in the past strongly more than four hundred thousand people joined the infinite number of workers on socialist. may day rallies on sunday saw people leave the world unite in something that sing in russia was no exception the country has a long lost in traditional demonstrations or believing that a political affiliation and make that service on the grounds. a very rare occasion that central moscow is completely empty and this of course is done for these people as twenty five thousand members of treaty and who on this day are celebrating their professional holiday as part of that celebration marching through the heart of

moscow all the way down through the kremlin not just training here actually to their teams anyone and everyone is on the streets of the capital including some of the more extreme organizations like of course the old stove right movements in russia some go as far as to call them neo nazis or even as far as fascists they of course standing and walking down the streets of the russian capital with 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 betters their slogans and of course their unconventional covered up faces and 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 wouldn't 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

common history alley and they were not well received there by luckily no scuffles ensued and of those respective parties simply went their respective ways but as well as those groups and we know that various other demonstrations took place and even one monstrous now that is a specific group created by an artist called for in the most absurd slogans of banners to be brought to the streets of the capital our indeed cities across russia and 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. but they had fun and that are as many say is what matters that seems to out because the spirits may for a while some like these people take it 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 fodder. to what they write is from all corners of the earth you can log onto our website dot com along with other news video clips and one of the debates on the next person she's. the official. called touch from the. video. she's mine. now in the palm of your. on the dot com. a major cereal factory a provincial russian towns close down. there with the charts starting work. itself being some of the corporation that will see the juicer. reports.

for seventy five years this factory has been at the economic heart of the city of gori yet building one of russia's leading cereal brands oh my love you move oh my factory. more so it was more than just a job. in a few years again the brand is because by kellogg's internationally recognized with a name builds on its strong ethical values she can an exciting development for the workers here she cannot say great as it turns out the reversal thing is on march fourteenth we came to work and wrote told that the company would be required it was short notice and people are shocked and emotional all the more humid a generous redundancy package has done little to comfort the people how much more are. there are generations of families that worked here and helped build the brand this is small and there are hardly any jobs. in response to the sudden closure

colloq said. the decision was not related to the performance of the workers or the plant's management we appreciate their inclusion in the results of their work and admit that their contribution was valuable for the business but it's now kellogg's won't be preparing the rewards of. the plant was everything for the people it was our way of life. kellogg's also they claim they're involved in the search for new investors in the factory and its production facilities to be sold as a package. little seems to be happening in the production equipment has been removed not a hateful sign for those who came to see the factory back in action when we tried to see for ourselves we were refused entry over to some the owner of the company me restructured pistone who's perception that all of this kind of decision cannot be called socially responsible and that's absolutely clear. in the ethics profits

battle this time it seems profit of one out. of that's the real bottom line is that with the factory closing it's the people who are left paying the price so. i think we'll have the main headlines for this hour hair nothing. much.
