been a result of your wife julie the sarge tells us about see who he thinks is to blame for letting international conflict. and with following deficient we get inside the nuclear power plant to bring you a glimpse of its workings and the safety provisions in place to prevent another fukushima. you're watching our t.v. it's just past ten pm here in moscow now this monday made a second on kevin zero in with the top story and the most high profile manhunt in recent history is over as washington confirms its eliminated its number one terrorist was some of enlargement the al qaeda leader was killed following a raid on his hideout in pakistan the correspondence of this in our future can give us a broader perspective from both sides of the atlantic. there has been
2:02 pm
a lot of cheering here in the u.s. since the president announced the news the obama administration is definitely an accomplished kind of moved american officials are saying they have a d.n.a. confirmation that he was indeed osama bin laden who was killed in the shootout and u.s. authorities said they buried him at sea many say if americans didn't bury his body at sea they probably said that's who it's a place of pilgrimage for al qaeda sympathizers for those many who were waiting for photographs who for bin laden's that 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 luxurious compound not in some cave cave in afghanistan as some would expect the president said they had known about bin laden's whereabouts since last year which is that you suggest that he had been preparing this operation for months with interesting everybody knows that the u.s. has been chasing beyond of ghana's them borders in yemen those have been called
2:03 pm
group drone strikes in pakistan they've been pretty overt the u.s. has been widely criticized for the scores of civilians that they killed in pakistan it's been it's been an especially the sore issue and the question some ask now is kook the success of killing bin laden 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 double edged sword that involved fighting terror and provoking terror at the same time was the environment the symbol of america's war on terror since nine eleven he had been the greatest villain the u.s. invaded afghanistan to chase him down and game and his associates the chase took a phenomenal lot of time and resources down and thousands of afghan civilians died new war waged by allied forces and led by the united states has left us again is that as unstable as every it's now a hotbed of extremism. u.s.
2:04 pm
administration now of course hail so some of the law his death is a great victory on the war on terror front but the bigger question is how much more terror has that war instigated ever since he was has a track record of policies that backfired like arming and training the afghan mujahideen in the one nine hundred eighty s. and you know in their fight against the soviet troops subsequently the same guy who the millikan's turned their weapons and training against the u.s. among those supported by the us was osama bin ladin whose group eventually evolved into al qaida but like i said i said there is a lot of cheerleading going on in washington right now and it seems 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 now that russia is no stranger to well coded terror of movements is it russia most certainly is no stranger to the threat of terrorist specially in its faults while north caucasus region where special forces there are
2:05 pm
constantly on the offensive against domestic turd networks and internationally wanted terrorists like doku umarov but that's it moscow has of course and understandably helped the death of osama bin ladin say that it's a major step and soon folded with all the terror prices also say that it hoped 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 going on right now for some it was a movement a victory for others a movement bears meant president obama is in fact that it was a u.s. strategic but there's one moment analysts say should not be overlooked and some of bin laden may be dead but the threat. of terror is very much alive frankly doesn't
2:06 pm
make much of a difference that bin laden is dead people here were convinced a long run at least for the last two years and 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 link terrorists that have made the most recent marks on scales metro blast in airport bombing two of the latest global attacks were masterminded by domestic church in terror leader doku umarov for years has been trying to third bin laden's role as the face of international terrorism. leaders demise is expected to remain a significant symbol of having little or no effect in the fight against terrorism it could create waves elsewhere in the two thousand war and right. george bush's approval rating was around fifty percent within twenty four hours is shot up
2:07 pm
to eighty percent so watch for obama to get. a no of course an opening has been made for the new face of evil. first it was a start and was with the russian federation and he was on a billard the guard hussein and the use of force we have more of the. next one will come of it whenever the need arises speaking of libya you're going to hear a lot of parallels in the coming days of the fact that the u.s. and nato are training rebels there and it was the u.s. nearest groups that then became al qaeda and the taliban back in the one nine hundred eighty s. during the soviet can for. more thoughts of events and their perspective on bin laden's demise what it could mean for the world and told to a sort of flow into she's an author an antiwar activist the joining us from new york we're going to continue in international law judicial killing is recognized as a war crime now ok understandably some of the lovers there could be argued as an
2:08 pm
exception i guess but where is the line drawn has the limit been crossed. why i think we know very little about this top secret operation except what the u.s. is telling us except that we do know it will be used to justify further wars greater repression and more extra. judicial targeted assassinations against political opponents and this is true whether in libya and iraq in pakistan in afghanistan it means expanding u.s. force and justification for expanding the wars so you think rather than scaling down figures are going to be ramped up no. omari much so both in terms of repressive legislation here at home intensifying repression and attacks on the muslim population here in the us i also think it's important to take note that osama bin laden was not found in
2:09 pm
a caved in afghanistan but rather literally in the state next door to the pakistan military academy that's a little bit like finding him next door in the basement of west point. so this whole operation from beginning to end where osama bin ladin was all these years what his possible death means that we know it is or was are similar to you by that then let me just press you say this maybe doesn't add up. well now and the real reasons for these wars are ever based on terror. really is a reason to expand and justify terror against whole nations around the world and that has been true from the very beginning and so it's important to look back and the us reason and justification and manufacturing of war and it really flows from
2:10 pm
the military or oil banking and glamor it's right here that need a war that need the conquest of new areas and need the astronomical acknowledged her i'm not taking what you say load of votes look at the fact that we've been presented with today i should say they are few and far between at the moment can you and so why would maybe the us didn't try and take him alive interrogate him for all the information that he had for instance why why did if if everything is correct as are being told today why was he killed why wasn't taken alive well because because dead men tell no tales and the links the train i'll sign of the law and the us had gone the cia and pakistani i.s.i. intelligence are so clear they really originally. was a creation was financed or supported by the us military machine and that has never been denied so our there was no reason for them to want osama bin laden captured
2:11 pm
alive ok are you certain things are going to ramp up now but what about the future of the focus of all this for so many years what's the future for that group sporadic because this is this really comes at a time when the real power throughout the entire region the millions of millions of people in the streets in egypt in. some martial art the internees and so are so much about the entire region are changing history and. a hundred or so al qaeda operatives that they claim are left to reforms in afghanistan we know it's not going to end us wars in the region or the us justification for wars and the region this really follow rules from us policy analysts or wars holocene. analysts that our resources our support for military dictatorships that don't give the people anything at all it's certainly true when
2:12 pm
you look at the policies and pakistan where billions of dollars given to the military has provided nothing at all and that is also so true in afghanistan where the conditions look like i've actually deteriorated under analysis and wounds that against this is one other quick line of oh i just want to run past you really interested to get your views on a lot of our guests that we've been talking to today have been speculating about the timing of bin laden's death now coming to weeks after about we began his presidential rerun campaign if you think there's some sort of coincidence there any thoughts are of course i think there is every and action our feeling that this will give obama in the run for elections because presidents run on analysts who are and are needing the support of the u.s. corporations that are responsible for these criminal process ok so furnace things be on the program much appreciated. the libyan over the bodies of gadhafi son and
2:13 pm
three grandchildren reportedly killed in a nato air strike and shown on state t.v. nato says they intercepted military communications from the targeted site before launching the attack and that incident caused outrage among pro golfer supporters with angry mobs storming foreign embassies in the capital tripoli the pollution italian offices suffered the most damage for the u.n. deciding to withdraw style from libya after its buildings were also attacked ryback is from the group act now to stop war and racism he told us to stop the coalition campaign in libya people in nato countries some to take the streets in protest as he saw it. the u.s. is escalating 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 qaddafi 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
2:14 pm
opposition underestimating the resistance underestimating the colonial or anti colonial sentiment of the people who are being targeted by under occupy and clearly in libya there's no doubt 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 the bombs dropped would would cause the regime to collapse it isn't in fact they were escalating their own capacity to straight back out to rebel forces so this is an effort by nato to up the ante start killing khadafi or khadafi families with the hope it 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 one thousand seventy three but the protests at the u.n.
2:15 pm
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 going to become a key player in libya but in other conflicts in the region to having sent its troops to its former colony ivory coast pyros is no showing a strong interest in syria. sahlins 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 paul mean his country on the pretext of stopping the violence i don't wish to have. an air force in syria but i. expect that. he notes the same chain of events that brought war with libya and now on falding it's 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
2:16 pm
opposition groups in both states now nicolas sarkozy's government is slapping damascus with sanctions the precursor to the version of libya humanitarian aid says one also will again be their excuse to go in and not think of their own government in libya is now the. syria was once under french occupation it's unlist 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 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 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
2:17 pm
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 the muskets would become a. bring board for the sarkozy of ministration as it pushes east if it meant in syria progress according to the libyan scenario we will probably see a similar developments in iran unfortunately that is iran will repeat the syrian sonari russia watches with the military interventions with rising along it warns the fuelling voile of its across the middle east. deliberately a school is in a 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
2:18 pm
a sting in the tail he says only she calles in the region helps the very extremist the west wants to stop gaining power valuable shore r.t. paris. people in europe and the us have been repeatedly but the media and the backing foreign interventions that's the opinion of julia son's youth founded wiki leaks who spoke exclusively to us at r.t. it's a taste of what we've got to come through in about fifty minutes time. our number one enemy is ignorance. and i believe the number one in me that everyone is not understanding or exactly going on the world now christian is here with quoting ignorance it is bad media. it really is why why opinion of it and media in general are so bad it is so distorted of how the world actually yes nearly every war that has started in the past fifteen years has been a result of
2:19 pm
a media wide media who would have thought that if they had basically populations that like what. populations have to be fooled into walls populations by weaving we know we open our lives going through so if we have a good media environment big will also have a place for. next three years on from the financial crash of two thousand and eight millions of americans are still mired in debt and still unable to get back on their feet but some stand to gain from the situation to spare no extra to squeeze as much money out of the downtrodden as possible from death threats to public humiliation artie's report has a story about predatory debt collectors. a magical call coming to your home you pick up and the stranger demands your money and threatens your life they had said that so we know where you live we know your wife is you're

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 bailout and the working americans facing financial hardship gets harassed 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 the. sound unlikely to be heard on wall street where the rich and powerful have lost billions in past years but poor americans on main street continue dealing with the consequences. r t new york. could put a few stories that might interest you what are they find always the latest news videos need political games as well as one of those just a second but first all from a prince to read about the actress wife leader of most russian region who gave no to run a few for
2:23 pm
a lot of from i think bank balance one or more you can find out about that online tonight about. that game mentioned pay to play your opponent's stirred in the bible your colleagues told the pieces by the press all of the life of politicians you can step into the virtual shoes of a more than a politician at our team dot com. nuclear safety is coming to fresh scrutiny following the shocking events that you pan fukushima plant the recent anniversary to the chernobyl disasters and highlighted the finis. trying to find out if lessons are being learned as new reactors come online here in russia. this is the reactor which is of course not part of the power station here. the water with the process of fission and then this water goes on
2:24 pm
and then turns of turbines which create the electricity normally if there is an accident if anything goes wrong this reactor shuts down the 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 start straight away there is a remaining process which goes on for several days. in japan as 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 this system was damaged as well. afterwards and this is what has led to the rods. the rods causing a buildup of air buildup 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
2:25 pm
operation now the project the station was initially approved in the early eighty's all of this equipment was different there's a lot 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 made it 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 as three mile island. will not be repeated any time. in the near future. of the. station. and staying in russia the closure of a major serial factory in a rural part of the country is left its workers the majority of the local town's population on the breadline the production code was shuddering when the company was swallowed up by the global giant kellogg's first reports for many breakfast is
2:26 pm
considered the most important meal of the day. he killed cereal has made its name is a wholesome family brand built on strong ethical values. the. but for one small city in russia that perception of kellogg's is difficult to stomach. for such generations of families that worked here grandmothers marden partner son jordan we've all been left feeling devastated. a few years ago kellogg's to caver one of russia's leading cereal brands including this production factory in got a few vets in the vladimir region as a global giant of industry it should've been an exciting time for the workers. 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
2:27 pm
despite a generous redundancy package just single events this is for generations of families the factory has been the economic heart of the city but it was more than just a drought 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 can the blackmailers they'll say there are five hundred people wanting this job. so people are forced to take what they can now there simply isn't enough work in response to the sudden closure colloq said the decision was not related to the formants of the workers all the plants management and admitted that the workers contribution have been valuable for the business but that's a little can't fit the work is now the regional administration is looking for
2:28 pm
another investor for the factory the tatiana tells us that little seems to be happening in the ethics profits battle this time it seems profits have won out. but the real bottom line is that with the factory closing it's the people who are left paying the price. as mentioned a bit earlier wiki leaks founder julian assange as talks to us said r.t. in just a few minutes time very interesting child should not call it already here from moscow this monday night may the second.
