me soon which brightened if you knew newly bows on the front stoop these. stunts on t.v. don't come. we can say to those families who lost loved ones titus terror justice has been done. he asks what's just and what's not trust barack obama confirms the death of the al qaida leader osama bin laden also this hour. the alleged killing of foundered off his son in a nato airstrike sparks outrage in libya angry crowds burned phone embassies in events plus. the. economic desperation intensifies in the u.s.

with debt collectors resorting to a buffet style that it's to make americans pay their way. and as many countries question and safety lies the fukushima crisis multi-story a new russian reactor to assess its own ability. to. know this is r.t. world needs twenty four hours a day while breaking news this hour the u.s. president barack obama has confirmed that a solid bin laden has been killed in a special operation pakistan on the news flashed around the world with the u.s. claiming it's now in possession of his body. tough enough has the latest from washington d.c. . u.s. president barack obama addressed the nation to announce in fact that the united states has i can finally confirm osama bin laden has been killed by u.s.

special forces we're hearing that it was not a drone attack this is actually a firefight on the ground by u.s. special forces right outside of us along with 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 also we are just blocks away from the white house right now where there have been hundreds of people who have gathered right outside of the white house in celebration of the developments that have been ladan has been confirmed killed by u.s. president barack obama in fact even as i was making my way to the studio we've seen cars driving by honking american flags waving and people continue to to make their way down towards the white house to celebrate this this news this news that in fact has the united states has been pursuing for for the past decade since the nine

eleven attacks it's been ten years in afghanistan nearly since since the ten year since the nine eleven attacks which really really start of 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 on u.s. soil referencing of course the nine eleven attacks we have to remember that the united states policy of currently arming them in afghanistan. back in the eighty's had of course contributed so much to to the current situation that we have on the ground today and 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 to the present developments on the ground. but it's. still cold out see how us.

is not going to stun these became terrorists. it was a perpetrator. which was used as a proxy war against the soviet union by the media and the jihadi counterinsurgency but this time it was osama bin laden that turned out as the one of the main financier and organizers of the arab mercenaries who came in to make money began to spread their violent and extremist ideology and reach was financed jointly by the saudi arabia but mostly equal directed and trained by the united states of america and orchestrated by the central intelligence agency as freedom fighters this thirty years later was rebranded as terrorists i see it varies weird similarity of their way of the american hawks trying to embrace their

unknown known for them in libya each reminded me of late senator wilson i came to him senator mccain came to get you guys and he said of all the rebels these are my hero if it somehow hard to get back into my memory when the american senators were hiding and kissing freedom fighters and all those mercenaries who came to afghanistan fighting the city of shia. well for more on the international terrified you cannot trust correspondents and these to know just get. russia's north caucuses a few first in the said the killing of bin ladin this obviously being hailed as a major success for the us this is it likely to have much effect on the threats of global terrorism as a whole. that's right the u.s. is reveling in celebrations of what are calling a victory and justice being served thousands of people gathered outside the white house chanting usa usa most certainly osama bin ladin brought the united states

together with a sense of national unity against a common enemy but in all these celebrations what i think is being lost and you'll hear this from experts and critics throughout the day is the question of what now what does that mean for global terrorism i mean when was the last time we heard osama bin ladin take credit for a major terror it's been years and that's because the last two major terror attacks on a major global city was on moscow last year of course the moscow metro bombings and then just in january if we reflect attack on the international airport where not just russians were targeted but nationals of all kinds became the victims of this terror attack organizers linked to al qaida so certainly the u.s. sometimes forgets that terrorism is a global fight and very much this victory certainly in the u.s. media is going to be played out as america wins over terrorism but that doesn't

mean that the threat still isn't very much there if not even worse just this morning i received an e-mail from the american embassy here in moscow warning od to be aware of any anti american aggression and also sending a notice that the that the risk of an attack against anywhere where americans gather is very high right now and that of course means that that risk also threatens nationals from other countries so some of the modern might be dead but terrorism is very much still alive. let's turn to the region at the forefront of russia's fight with terror medina updates a speech on efforts there where you will. well russia's north caucasus really remains the main training ground for terrorists in the country and this among sing area that surrounds this district of provides a convenient zone for militants to hide and to develop their network and this is really the same situation as we may observe of the outgunned practiced on the

border now in the last several weeks there has been an intensive quite anti terror raids and dozens of militants have been wiped out including some high profile figures among terrorist with links to al qaida but still there is no clean formation elsewhere russia's most wanted terrorist might be hiding here in this region and russian security forces are searching for moto who claimed responsibility for a number of high profile terror attacks including the mosque who don't live near the airport attack that happened this year and tween suicide moscow metro bowings that happened last year still this search operation for him continues and indeed the disappearance of bin laden is important but as the search operation continues for all to terrorists here in this region it really shows that terrorism if we global issue good is far from being sold. to you in these so what about the situation russia's borders such as the concerts in iraq and afghanistan.

well the u.s. of course as we all know was planning to withdraw from both iraq and afghanistan in the relatively near future but not in step change that if anything at all how the anti war critics say well he's dead let's go get out of those two countries but let's not forget that before they withdrew from or planted with or began withdrawing rather from iraq and afghanistan the u.s. got their hands tied up with libya there the number one enemy enemy of course is colonel gadhafi it's no secret that the u.s. and europe wants to get rid of him and although it's just been reported that they're arming these rebels it hasn't been confirmed we do know that they are planning if they haven't already begun to train the rebels in libya and that certainly draws parallels with what we saw in afghanistan it's very well known that the u.s. trained in armed groups that then went on to become battalion bound and so we're

going to hear a lot of analysis today about those parallels and my guy said osama bin laden is dead but another enemy will be born and all eyes now are on libya. ok thank you both alex he's in the snow in moscow and you know a culture that in the of course. i mean while libyan state t.v. has shown the bodies of the son and three grandchildren and gadhafi were possibly killed in a nato air strike if this sort of strong wave of outrage. and. then there's the. issue i mean in the sense of the concern of damage the u.n. has withdrawn its mission and that was also. the simple scheme from the other based center for research on globalization thinks nato has a rule of no. drop bombs and missiles and the evidence suggests that that apartment buildings in tripoli have been targeted hospitals have been 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 we can make our own judgments but this kind of behavior is in derogation of international law not being a lars the united states. to go into a country and start killing the head of state or gamers of his family i would hope that russia and china will furnish it to of confronting the united states britain and 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 be undertaken by countries which are involved in in war crimes in other parts of the world and we are gonna stand in pakistan. well meanwhile as violent

clashes continue in syria the number of dead has already soared to more than five hundred is increased speculation it's set to become the next target of foreign intervention journalist and author. from london says any further nato action would have far reaching consequences it is notable that former ally six agent alastair cook has been quoted here in this country as saying that the reports from on the ground in syria don't match what the fire agencies are saying in the street what's happening in syria of course really surreal brazil can do so much disastrous. consequences i mean. the straits of hormuz is a palestinian groups of people in egypt will probably rise up against syria is that the lynchpin of. everything that is against us hegemony power down in in the middle east but our web site r.t.

dot com where after your opinion as to why in nato is bombing libya not syria but so far more than half of you believe it's not a boil that mr repton list and around forty percent are sure that nato strikes in syria just a matter of time by this one percent difference nice and styles of itself in place and so we can not want to write an article i haven't seen. france has taken one of the most active roles and intervening in the uprisings that raging in africa the arab world thought from libya it also sends troops to its former colony ivory coast and south establish reports on science and french governments now turn to syria. limbs 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 by coleman his country on the pretext of stopping the violence i don't

wish to have. an air force in syria but i but i expect. he notes the same chain of events that brought war with libya and now on full doing its home 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 invasion of libya humanitarian aide says one also will again be their excuse to go in the logic of their own government in the media is not easily been in syria syria was once under french occupation but analysts say france behaves as if it's still in control france they've had their spies there for decades and religious movements

have had their people there for decades so they're going to do whatever they can to use their influence to change the regime in a way that they see fit intervention would leave france fighting in four walls that hasn't happened since it was a colonial power for its 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 just part of international moves to stop that program damascus would become. the springboard for the sarkozy administration as it pushes east if it meant 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 rising along it warns

that fueling boylan's across the middle east. deliberately escalating the conflict is an invitation to a series of civil wars outside forces 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 only sheen chaos in the region helps the very extremist the west wants to stop gaining power there you go sure r.t. paris. now and many americans struggling to pay off their debts numbers are set to be subjected to extreme opinions from debt collectors furious rants to threats of physical violence there's no holding back for those determined to pay their way yes government borrowing country is still the working american having to bear the brunt . imagine

a call coming to your home you pick up and if stranger demands your money and threatens your life they have said that so we know where you live we know your wife is not going to get away with this before they are. in bar prions case he was dealing with the mafia and i called them back to find out exactly who they were these were the voices of debt collectors harassing the fifty year old music producer over a small debt belonging to his son. with a record number of americans drowning in unpaid bills losing homes and searching for jobs i've used in the u.s. debt collection industry has reached record highs and one hundred forty four thousand complaints were filed with the federal government last year among them collectors resorting to regional slurs anti-semitic remarks and threats of rape

certainly any threats of violence or clearly illegal contact with third party it's somebody other than the consumer it is here we go on unless it is on the very specific circumstances however that collect is routinely violate the third party disclosure rules and contact me and relatives as a means of putting pressure on consumers to play 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 illegal and aggressive tactics just to net a bounty paycheck there are to my knowledge about four or five k.'s sense of suicide coming from that collection harassment there's also been heart attacks and strokes ironically our lifeline is always extended to the biggest borer of them all the us governments with exceptional that. fourteen point three trillion dollars

america keeps spending money printing more cash and relying on creditors like china who own one point one trillion dollars in u.s. treasury bonds i want to make it perfectly clear that congress will raise the debt ceiling washington gets a safety net wall street gets a bell out and a working american facing financial hardship gets harassed is it unfair yes is the economic environment disasters right now yes it is there's been traditional ways to go to work your way out of these situations and those mechanisms are working anymore. sound unlikely to be heard on wall street where the rich and powerful have lost billions in past years while poor americans are mean street continue dealing with the consequences. r t v. and today's edition of cross talk they feel as though these guests debate whether the trumps campaign for the presidency could make him a powerful challenger 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 work because if this is what we're talking about this shows they are you going to get up on a stage as a real candidate with donald trump and talk a lot but say me outrageous things will get a lot of coverage they'll make all the other candidates look ridiculous. nuclear safety has come on the first scrutiny for the shock that was unfolding that pans out the recent anniversary of the chernobyl disaster and i did see the thing is. to find out if lessons are being learned as new stations come online. this is the reactor which is of course part of the power station. he took the water with the process of creation and then this water goes on and then turns the

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 stop the process of question in japan when the initial earthquake took place there was a successful shutdown after the water cycle ration system was damaged but even after you shut the rods down enough to stop the stress especially if it doesn't start straight away there is a remaining process which goes on for several days. in japan as a special backup system at these lawbreaking backup systems which are supposed to start the rods from overheating with this leftover question which is happening but of course this system was damaged as well. we would call it afterwards and this is what has led to the. rods causing a build up of a buildup of pressure and eventually the explosions which are state taken over the past few days this is the control room obviously the brains of the operation now

the project for the station was initially approved in the early eighty's all of this equipment was different there's a lot before now and. i think to compare this to the sort of technologies that we use in chernobyl is totally inappropriate the system is also mated and 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 oil and turn lobel. will not be repeated any time in the near future either on our t.v. . station. about everything look at some other news making headlines around the world. in the police or clash with western demonstrators may day rally hard. i would not want to tell them to slowly see what was a friend shops and banks security was stepped up with cross the country rent trouble think that we could return products and last across germany more than four

hundred thousand people joined the infant lending institutions. the flight recorder of the air france jet that crashed into the atlantic two years ago has been found the coast of brazil it follows the recent discovery of the wreckage of the seabed the question is very funny it would cause the craft and killed one hundred twenty eight people aboard the plane came down in the high altitude thunderstorm first of june two thousand and nine the province of paris from rio de janeiro. last crowds have taken to the streets calling for the list in case of the school problems with the current conflict in the country according to un report released last week shelling going on since close tens of thousands of civilians last month something more radical thoughts and certain jets of the allegations separatist group which had been fighting for an independent homeland simple is also coming to

criticism court. by the close of a major serial that russia has left its workers majority. on the breadline with ducks in line for a sudden halt. kellogg's for. the seventy five years this factory has been at the economic heart of the city yet building one of russia's leading cereal brands or am i leave you with oh my factory . it was more than just a job. then a few years ago the brand is because bike hello og's internationally recognized with a name builds on its strong ethical values it should be an exciting development for the workers here. but not so great as it turns out the reversal thing is what they are on march the fourteenth we came to work and were told the company was billick

the data that it was short notice and people are shocked and emotional unit a generous redundancy package has done little to comfort the people more are. there are generations of families that work here and told the brand the city is small there are hardly any jobs. in response to the sudden closure kellog said. decision was not related to the performance of the workers or the plans for management we appreciate their interest and the results of their work and admit that their contribution was valuable for the business but it's now kellogg's will be reaping the rewards. of the plant was everything for people it was a way of life. kellogg's also a clane are involved in the search for new investors if the factory and its production facilities to be sold as a package cut here on it so that little seems to be happening and the production equipment has been removed not a hateful sign for those hating to see the factory back in action when we tried see

for ourselves we were refused entry. for the owner of the company a mere restructuring he's done his perception of all of this kind of decision cannot be called socially responsible that's absolutely clear. in the ethics profits battle this time it seems profits have won out. but the real bottom line is that we're actually closing it's the people who are left paying the price. one more news you can find it on our website at r.t. dot com well with blogs video clips and a larger debate on the most pressing issues. russian lawmakers are considering chemical castration for you folks to base sentences which they say are too lenient. some of the form dances in russia and sunni mosques are all strapped
