we can say to those families who have lost loved ones as terror justice has been done with the son of bin ladin reportedly killed in the u.s. special operation questions are already being asked if his demise will make a difference and who will inevitably become the next face of global terrorism. outrage across tripoli khadafi supporters attack western embassies and forced u.n. staff out of the city following the deaths of a colonel son and grandchildren in a nato airstrike also. knew every war that was started in the past fifteen years. has been a result called me

a lot during a science tells us that r t who he thinks is to blame for letting international conflict output. and following the fish in we get inside a nuclear power plant and take a glimpse at its workings of the safety provisions in place to prevent another fukushima. believing you're watching r t it's eight pm now here in moscow one day made the second one kevin zero in with the top story and the most high profile manhunt in recent history is over as washington confirms it's a limb and eight its number one terrorist of some of bin laden the al-qaeda leader was killed following a raid of his hideout in pakistan. my treasure spoke to r.t. correspondents and it's now in galle teacher can you give us

a broader perspective from both sides of the atlantic. there has been a lot of cheering here in the u.s. since the president announced the news the obama administration is definitely in the complex kind of mood american officials are saying they have a d.n.a. confirmation that he was indeed osama bin laden who was killed in the shootout u.s. authorities said they buried him at sea many say if americans didn't bury his body it see they probably said that to avoid such places pilgrimage for al qaeda sympathizers to those many who were waiting for photographs of bin laden's death there was a bit of a disappointment because there is no credible image to show according to president obama bin laden was killed by american special forces in pakistan in a relatively little jury is compound not in some cave in a cave in afghanistan as some would expect the president said they had known about bin laden's whereabouts since last year which would you suggest that he had been preparing this operation for months what's interesting everybody knows that the

u.s. has been chasing beyond afghanistan borders in yemen those have been kolbert the drone strikes in pakistan they've been pretty overt the u.s. has been widely criticized for those strikes for the scores of civilians that they killed in pakistan it's been it's been an especially sore issue and the question some ask now is could the success of killing bin ladin in pakistan give the u.s. more of a carte blanche for carrying out strikes in other countries or to justify those strikes some analysts point out that america's war on terror so far has been a double edged sword that involved fighting terror and provoking terror at the same time bin laden was the embodiment the symbol of america's war on terror nine eleven . similar to the greatest villain the u.s. invaded afghanistan to chase him down and him and his associates the chase took a phenomenal lot of time and resources thousands thousands of afghan civilians died who were waged by allied forces and led by the united states has left afghanistan

as unstable as every it's now a hotbed of extremism. the u.s. administration now of course hails osama bin laden's death as a great victory on the war on terror front but the bigger question is how much more care has that war instigated ever since the u.s. has a track record of policies that backfired like arming and training the afghan mujahideen in the nineteen eighties and you know in their fight against the soviet troops subsequently the same guy who the militants turned their weapons and training against the u.s. among those supported by the u.s. was also on the bin ladin who's been politically involved into al qaeda but like i said i said there is a lot of cheerleading going on in washington right now and it says many find it more comforting to think only in terms of justice is being served and evil punished rather than also look at the other side of the double edged sword which is america's war on terror and turning to a nice and now russia is no stranger to al qaeda linked terror movements tell us more about that. russia most certainly is no stranger to the threat of terror is

specially in its color tile north caucasus region where special forces there are constantly on the offensive against domestic terror networks and internationally wanted terrorists like joe kumar of with that's said moscow has of course and understandably helped the death of osama bin ladin say that it's a major step and simple to do with global terror prices also say that it hopes that it would be further cooperation but the country very much understands that even though osama bin ladin is dead the fight against terror is far from over the man want to demand for a decade is gone the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. years of it cheering doing on right now from some it was a movement a victory for others a movement. president obama is in fact did it was a u.s. strategic. there's one moment analysts say should not be overlooked. some of bin

laden may be dead but the threat of terror is very much alive frankly doesn't make much of a difference that bin laden is dead people here were convinced at least for the last two years to be very convinced that the al qaeda figures or people in this region who by the way cannot number more than one hundred are incapable of carrying out any major attacks instead it's russia now kind of terrorists that have made the most recent mercs scales metro glaston airport bombing two of the ladies school bill the tax were masterminded by domestic church in terror leader doku umarov who for years has been trying to. rule is the face of international terrorism. leaders do is expected to remain a significant symbol well having little or no in fact in the fight against terrorism and could create waves elsewhere in the us in war right.

choices bush's approval rating was being around fifty percent within twenty four hours and shot up to ninety percent so watch for obama to go from and no of course an opening has been made for the new face of evil. first it was a sort of. russian federation came and some of the hussein and these days of course we have more. makes one will come of course whenever the river rises speaking of libya you're going to hear a lot of parallels in the coming days about the fact that the u.s. and nato are training rebels there and it was the u.s. the naris groups that then became al qaida and the taliban back in the one nine hundred eighty s. during the soviet can for. or for moribund lovers demise what it could mean for the world let's talk to christophe horsetail the political business consultant joining us on the line from berlin so still very very big yes we can

see. good to see you thanks for being with out see this but a lot of criticism of the way the u.s. has another sort of some of been the death of a very little evidence. i'm afraid i'm now being told we don't actually have any connection to mr hall still there was a good trouble trying to get back to a little bit later present the same questions to get his thoughts on what's going on right let's continue to take a look at some other news before we go back to the to libya the bodies of gadhafi son and three grandchildren reportedly killed in a nato air strike could be shown on state t.v. nato says they intercepted military communications from the targeted site before launching the attack against them cause outrage among pro get a few supporters with angry mob storming followed also in the capital tripoli the british an italian offices of the most major the u.n. decided to withdraw all star from libya after its buildings were also attacked runback of whom the group act now to stop war and end racism told us the stop the

coalition campaign in libya people in nato countries have to take to the streets in protest the u.s. is asking leading the military pressure on gadhafi because they're not winning the civil war and their side is not yet winning the war and so they're using aerial terror against the gadhafi administration and against his family with the hope that he will cry uncle be intimidated or be so afraid that he will quit the u.s. has been guilty of miscalculations in iraq and afghanistan underestimating the opposition underestimating the resistance underestimating the colonial or anti colonial sentiment the people who are being targeted by under occupy and clearly in libya. the regime no matter how unpopular it is in some parts of the country perhaps in benghazi in the east it also has a popular base in tripoli and elsewhere and the nato thought of bombs dropped would cause the regime to collapse it isn't in fact that they've asked later their own capacity to straight back out the rebel forces so this is an effort by nato to up

the ante start. killing khadafi or families with the hope that will change the political equation inside the regime unless the people in the united states or britain or france go into the streets and take serious action i don't think anyone will hold them back the russian government and other governments have stated clearly that the killings of khadafi or his family is far beyond the resolution eight hundred seventy three protests at the u.n. or at the diplomatic level won't be sufficient to stop nato they have a license to do they think to do whatever they want. one of the coalition driving forces france is not only become a key player in libya. but in other conflicts in the most sort of about having set its troops to its former colony ivory coast paris is now showing strong interest in syria this report coming out. 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 by bohrman his country on the pretext of stopping the violence i don't wish to have. an air force in syria but i. spect it. 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 what's at the same time france reportedly was funding opposition groups in both states now nicolas sarkozy's government is slipping damascus with so mentions a precursor to the invasion of libya humanitarian aid says one author will again be their excuse to go in the logic of their intervention in libya is that they should

intervene in syria also syria was once on the french occupation but analysts say friends behaves as if it's still in control 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 influence and 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 the 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 the program to moscow's would become a. board for the sarkozy administration as it pushes east ignorance 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 with military interventions with rosina law it wants the fueling violence across the middle east was 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 has there could be a sting in the tail he says only chaos in the region helps the very extremist the west wants to stop gaining power valuable sure r.t. paris let's go back to the day's top story and try and catch up again with crystal forstall is a political business consultant for joining us on the live from berlin i was always like in c. and b.

on the telephone there over the sound a workable bit better this time the question i was putting to originally sure if you heard or not there's been a lot of criticism of the way that the u.s. announced osama bin laden's death today very little evidence was presented or even has been presented now today in the body with apparently destroyed before his demise was even announced what's the reason for this information vacuum as you see it. well i think the whole operation has raised more questions than it has. so of course it is mafia. discharge a bit body somewhere dumped him somewhere and. something the president said on this issue is also contradictory he said last summer two thousand and ten he had boarded his people to go after osama bin laden go after the top tier of qaeda but in. he had said that already this very

same thing on december first when he in two thousand and nine more than half a year earlier than that when he had announced the huge rise in american troops for afghanistan more than thirty thousand guys all in all nearly forty thousand more soldiers from nato for afghanistan so there's a contradiction in there then if you look at the location if you look at the fact that this was very close to a military school a top class military school in pakistan if you look at the fact that generals of the pakistani army are living close by a quarter of all the alleged quarter of some of bin laden this is a very strange story that nobody has known about the whereabouts of the number one and then of course there is this alleged cooperation by the pakistani troops words of my best understanding if there were any pakistani troops

involved in this killing this alleged killing off be a leader then maybe they were engaged in directing the traffic but certainly not in the military operation itself because the trust between pakistan and the u.s. is somehow blown after the incident with the killing of two pakistanis place you know your professional cia killer and what pakistan did to this gentleman later on and the whole trouble between pakistan and the u.s. so all in all we must sum it up the u.s. have done little to win back their credibility which was lost over the case of nine eleven and the way they treated the dead body also reinsurers any criticism from the world over so this is a very difficult situation for washington right now because of this also was an expectation in some quarters that maybe the u.s. government will use his death as just a big. ation of the war on terror and continuing interventions showcasing his faith

says justice in action do you think that is a likely scenario now. well given that we have a lot of scenarios for why the u.s. could have done it one of for example is that simply the beginning of an election campaign in the u.s. and one of the potential contenders the billion dollar trump who speculate in. houses and ground it is very open he said that if i am president america will wage wars as in the past that means we go there we win the war and then we take what we can and if i were president and we would go into libya and take the oil this is this is what he said last week and i think what happened here is also an answer to this kind of criticism. there's another story right now the u.s. are trying to pressurize the taliban into compliance somehow so that the safe

withdrawal of nato troops might be envisioned it will but in fact. is an old afghanistan hand i doubt that the taliban can present like there is of course the threat of life to mullah omar and his friends drinking our days and quit in pakistan given ok i'm afraid christopher also thinks me with the simplistic will of business consultant as you were thinking. people in europe in the u.s. have been repeatedly duped by the media into backing foreign interventions that's the opinion of julian assange the founder of wiki leaks who spoke exclusively to us see it is a taster of what's to come in about fifty minutes for you. our number one enemy is ignorance. and i believe that if the number one enemy is not understanding what is actually going on now. he was promoting.

you know really it's my my opinion that the media in general so that is just talking to how the world actually and you live every war that it started in the past fifty years has been the result of i mean you know why the media could have stopped it if they had searched basically populations. populations have to be fooled into world's population is going we've only you know we've opened our lives going to war so if we have a good media environment people who also have a peaceful. three is on for the financial crash of two thousand and eight millions of americans are still mired in debt and unable to get back on their feet and some stand to gain from the situation and spare no expense and speed as much money out of the downtrodden as possible from death threats to public humiliation were reported as

a story on put it three debt collectors. a magical call coming to your home you pick up and it's stranger demands your money and threatens your life they had said that so we know where you live we know your wife is not going to get away with this before they have. indoor 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 us 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 and somebody other than a consumer is illegal that is under very specific circumstances however a debt collector is routinely violate the third party disclosure rules and contact me and relatives as a means of putting pressure on consumers to pay attorney joseph morrow says most collection agency 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 are down keep a check there are to my knowledge about four or five cases of suicide coming from that collection harassment has also been heart attacks and strokes ironically a lifeline is always extended to the biggest of them all the us government with an

exceptional debt. fourteen point three trillion dollars america standing 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 and washington gets a safety net wall street gets a bell out and the working american facing financial hardship. is it unfair yes it is the economic environment disasters right now yes it is but there's been traditional ways to work your way out of these situations and those mechanisms are working at a more of. a sound unlikely to be heard on wall street where the rich and powerful have lost billions in past years while poor americans on main street continue dealing with the consequences are enough or deny our part. more

stories online of our latest news videos and even political games for you tonight here's a taste of what is there the actress wife of a man governing a remote russian region games notoriety for her dramatic bank balance rather than her on stage antics were more about that story take a look at r t v dot com and talking of those political games i mentioned just now you ever want to see politicians clash with the gloves off the charts in our online game but he got caught. you can save these come on the first scrutiny after the shocking events of japan's fukushima power plant the recent anniversary of the chernobyl disaster highlighted the fears he's a go go to try and find out if lessons are being learned as new reactors come online here in russia. this is the reactor which is of course the part of the power

station here. heat up the water with the process of fission and then this water goes on and then turns of turbines which create the electricity normally if there is an accident if anything goes wrong this reactor shuts down some special control rods they start the process of fission in japan when the initial earthquake took place there was a successful shutdown after the water say collation system was damaged but even after you shut the rods down even after you stop the spread of fish it doesn't stop straight away there is a remaining process which goes on for several days. in japan it was a special backup system at these lawbreaking backup systems which were supposed to stop the rods from overheating with this leftover fission which was happening but of course the system was damaged as well. afterwards and this is what has led to the rods eating up the rods causing

a build up of pressure and eventually the explosions which of state shaken over the past few days this is the control room obviously the brains of the operation now the projects 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 used 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 as three mile island chain lobel under sea africa will not be repeated any time in the near future. of the telling instead station. next and the closure of a major serial factory in rural russia has left its workers the majority of the local population on the breadline the production hole in the company was swallowed

up by the global giant kellogg's sarah firth reports. formerly breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day. in kellogg's cereal has made its name as a wholesome family brand built on strong ethical values. but for one small city in russia that perception of kellogg's is difficult to stomach. for the generations of families that work here grandmothers mardis fathers sons daughters we've all been left feeling devastating. a few years ago kellogg's took over one of russia's leading cereal brands including this production factory in got a for vets in the vladimir region as a global giant of industry it should've been an exciting time for the workers and the reversal but on march the fourteenth we came to work and were told that the

company would be liquidated this year it would have been the company's seventy fifth anniversary despite a generous redundancy package job single vets are scarce and for generations of families the factory has been the economic heart of the city yet in the us it was more than just a job the plant was everything for the people it was our way of live now with the plant closed and showing no signs of reopening people here is struggling to find even low paid jobs crowds of people are being sent to the same places and those jobs come and blackmailers they'll say there are five hundred people wanting this job. so people are forced to take what they can now there's simply isn't enough work. in response to the sudden closure colloq said the decision was not related to the performance of the work is all the plant's management and admitted that the work is contribution has been able for the business but that's

a little can't fit the work is now the regional administration is looking for another investor for the factory tatiana tells us a little seems to be happening in the ethics profits battle this time it seems profits have won out. the real bottom line is that with the factory clay thing it's the people who are left paying the price there are the. problem of the twenty minutes and i was a front for ball and fluoro david back of warfield about the shortly before that as well wiki leaks founder julian assange talks to us exclusively one of seven on thanks for watching our team from moscow with the headlines in just a couple of minutes.
