the faces of them in western ukraine as nationalists physically on virtually attack veterans paying tribute to those who don't like security companies freedom in the cycle more. anger boils over in providence president's treatment back in the groups are financing the un resolution with its actions in libya. and several militants are killed in fresh air and you terror operations a loss of all it's all because it is all a suicide bomber blows himself up after being stopped at a checkpoint. a

very warm welcome to you this is our to you live from moscow help us someone try being showing the victory day hijacked my wallet nationalist and western ukraine with nazi salutes they have time for the veterans who fought to free them from invasion sixty six years ago. yes yes q reports on how it's just one part of our rights surgeon europe. a holiday for millions yes three abroad for some unlike most of the region on may the ninth this ukrainian city became a vicious display of new analysis and. several thousand activists from radical nationalist parties book the engines to red army soldiers cemeteries preventing war veterans from getting inside and playing tribute

some in this part of ukraine do not see may the ninth as a reason to celebrate believing the soviet period to be worse than enduring nazi occupation the st george's ribbon is usually worn as a tradition on may the ninth to commemorate those who died in the great crash or to war but on this day in the west in ukrainian capital city off and off putting this on your lapel would have meant serious risk regardless of whether you're a veteran or not. if you like it when i got the ribbons were forcibly ripped from the chests of those who were heading to the grave yards along with abuse of chances such as death to the most rights nazi salutes hurling rocks and small bombs that is how divorce marked me the ninth general who hailed this picture and my brothers and my for the liberation of this land from the fascists but these people here do not let me come inside a century to lay flowers and he's great this is a disgrace. it's obscene surprised even the locals who had grown used to protests on victory day these were the scenes from last year when nationalist wipe their

feet on the red victory banner the night you're looking at could be postponed thirteen years in detention in siberia much improved as we killed. could something like this have happened in a new country that. their heroes are people regarded world why does nasa collaborators replica shirts with the founders of the one nine hundred forty s. insurgent army stick on sunday and their nonsense which are a big hit here there are seen as freedom fighters even though for a while they fought alongside the nazi army and kill civilians jews and russians in the gruesome manner how the main. political parties deal with these sort of movements today encourage them as we've seen in case you crane were step among us to commemorate to have been elevated to the status of a hero older it appeared to be an anti russian protest but really it was a protest of the. ukrainian society in this case has to deal with it and this is

only part of the wider picture the perception of the past is making waves in other former soviet states namely as as marches and glorifying nots indigents in the baltic states such as loudly and the story of the danger is that people are beginning to forget what we fought for and what the veterans died for as we're seeing the reemergence of far right forces from nationalist forces that really in many states resemble exactly the emerge with hitler in the one hundred thirty such behavior is the only applies to the minority that most people in this country still celebrate history with proper respect but the ugly scenes and should definitely alert ukraine's leadership especially after demands for a revolution were clearly voiced by the i dream of. reporting from divorce in western ukraine. but we've got reaction to that story on our website r.t.e. dot com and see the full footage on the disturbing events which marked yesterday's victory day memorial service in ukraine it's available on all free video section

once. it's about a german lines some kind of movement in germany and. offline mixed about fascism the warring ignorance that may be setting the scene of the movement to spread across europe we report dot com. if. now the libyan capital was hit by several airstrikes on tuesday morning on what's believed to be nato used heaviest bombing of tripoli in weeks the planes apparently targeted government buildings one of which is said to house a sense of the women and children or the raid came hours after reports of heavy fighting between rebel and progress down the forces on the east of france and in the capital the opposition says anti conducted protests are gaining momentum some

of the government denies were discontent is also growing in some nato countries as people turn on their leaders for violating the u.n. libya resolution for the sake of political ambition to push all reports from plots . france imperialist racist murderer the lyrics to a song president sarkozy's party tried to ban which glossed his treatment of foreigners and its own people rappers so i do says the home of liberty galatz a fraternity is anything but a class but it's a free society is white masculine and reach for them anyone else's opinion he needs to be taught a civilization france has been condemned for targeting ethnic groups such as illegally deporting rumor gypsies while it seem tyria minister also labels muslims as

a problem france was responsible for securing the arrest of formal ivory coast leader laurent gbagbo france was also the first state to attack libya. cheese eating surrender monkeys some in the u.s. the french for their perceived fear of fighting now even american say they sure our war hungry the land of combat has become this blogger's saw its protesting the libyan walls been swamped with support from the united states to the middle east and the amazing things. in. many people in the we're seeing what is going on i'm very sad why are you going there and people you know even know that. nicolas sarkozy's the most unpopular president in the history of the fifth republic according to the latest polls fraud says bombing of libya has made him even more disliked as soon as

you use force they will be casualties there is no middle ground there is no such thing as a clean war war is not can people three in four voters think so because he's a bad president people say they had he's abused the u.n. mandate on libya which allowed all. the creation of a strict demilitarized area of sky. a no fly zone is not a war it's a very. palatable expression to. express . that we are going to join in the campaign even if the new presidential elections next year rich people and politicians already say sarkozy no longer represents them actually the difference is that it's not friends decided it's. still elected president mr sarkozy which again we call

a general. merely the country of love. and the awful. for growing numbers around the world frauds is no or very different kind of word valuable sure. when natives nies it's losing why isn't this depleted uranium weapons in libya even though the examination of bomb sites suggests differently later this hour on hunting nuclear activities tells r.t. there are legal and moral obligations when it counts endangering civilians with the notorious shelves. depleted uranium is a weapon of indiscriminate effect because of the impact what happens is that when the shell or the round hit its target is explosive it has what's been described as aerosol effect of radioactive particles and you can't ever ensure that those particles will only affect military personnel that means that they can

indiscriminately affect civilians and that of course is illegal under international law also have a very long term effect because of the radioactive qualities has a negative impact also on the environment so these are illegal entrants now. a lot of some countries haven't yet recognized that it is indeed you you've seen on the websites the british government justifies the continued use but it's absolutely unacceptable if you're talking where it's an exceptionally in any particular field talking about being there to protect the civilians to use a form of weaponry which will impact on them in so devastating a way it's absolutely shocking. that suicide bomber has blown himself up in the capital of republican russia's north caucasus killing at least one policeman here time follows the successful

anti-terrorist sweep in the region which killed dozens of militants somewhat with links to al qaeda but in a quarter of it is in a caucus this forty. the blast happened at around eleven am moscow time in the capital city of the republic michel are police trying to track the documents of a suspicious looking man passing by but he refused and exploded one police officer was killed and another one seriously injuries meanwhile in the neighboring republic of crimea russian special forces captured a group of terrorists in a residential area where militants were killed after the shooting and all of them were later identified now explosive devices were also found at the scene of the operation one militant is believed to be involved in the murder. as the end of last year and indeed major anti terror ratios that are underway here in russia's north caucasus one hundred fifty militants and among them some high profile terrorists

with links to al qaida including a senior al qaeda operative in this region have been killed since the start of this year and. now a quarter of the questions were published of a helsinki based website that linked to chechen terrorists. was accused of smuggling chechens into the country what bush is over finished organization prove caucuses behind the notorious because of what side it's a known mouthpiece for al qaeda linked terror related. he's on the most wanted list in both russia and the u.s. of course just trial didn't include any of his inspectors international terrorism however when finished. more lardy recently tried to draw attention to the chechen extremism he found himself prosecuted and defrocked by your forty. well coming off you in just

a few minutes the asian tiger was that lounge or. the you want to reveal. the actual currency of the world. while the haling great progress through gritted teeth is america and china try to beat portugal just like their bitter rivalry also. elvis for a close shave but we show you how siberia is tough guys go about grieving find out what else they can do a little later. now a small group of evacuees have briefly been allowed inside the exclusion zone around japan's damaged fukushima nuclear plant for the first time the government gave permission for short visits so people could gather belongings and check on their properties meanwhile a recent map of contamination released by japan shows high levels of radiation bred outside the evacuation say what's robert blake of this can help shed more light on

all of this he's a research associate professor of nuclear history and culture of the harassment peace institute dr jacobs many thanks for being with us now is radiation is high even beyond the zone how can it now be saved by letting people get closer. it's not safe this is a situation where they're letting the people go in one time in order to remove articles from their home typically a designated person in a family so that person will certainly have some exposure during that time it shouldn't be sufficient in a period of going in for a few hours and leaving to be very threatening to their health but the real threat is to the people who live in the contaminated areas outside of the exclusion zone and it's now clear there have been for two months now there have been measurements of high levels of radiation outside of the exclusion zone and as we've heard high levels present in the schools in the voluntary evacuation zone from twenty to

thirty kilometers and just this week also radioactive sludge turned up in the sewage system of one of the nearby cities so in just a period of less than two months the groundwater contamination has been sufficient to enter into the sewer system of a nearby town so clearly the levels outside of the zone are fairly high in some areas let's talk about some of the ambiguity still surrounding radiation levels and other health attempts by black is in sunlight down a threat that is much higher than they want to say what we're getting more accurate reading since wait a month after the crisis now. well this is a reflection of the incredibly small amount of information that even tepco and the japanese government are operating with just in the last day or two the government entered for the first time since the accident happened entered into reactor number one and the idea was that they were going to vent out the radiation that was

contained in the building and begin to install a new cooling system but once they entered into the building they found that the levels inside were so high that it became impossible to work there they're now at such a high level that one worker working for ten minutes will receive a lifetime dose of exposure so clearly. the government are still in the process of just beginning to learn what are the current conditions so it's a it's very hard to solve these problems when you don't really know what the sources of the radiation are and of course the situation's fall from a virus and it s n l and we at. am is in danger of holing out right it. is a very very serious concern this began a speculation among those of us watching the incident because on the webcam in which you can watch it you can look at the four reactors it began to dawn b.s. that building number four was leaning to the right

a little bit from the visual field of that webcam. and now just tonight actually in a release of information from the japanese government they have confirmed that there has been work started yesterday to shore up the structure of the building and specifically the upper floor now in this reactor you have the spent fuel pool that is a much larger spent fuel pool it has two rods from three to four reactors in there and this part of the building is beginning to lean and because of the explosion of reactor three there is some questions about the structural integrity of the building of reactor four and if that were to collapse you would have all of the fuel in that spent fuel pool. just scattered about on the ground and outside of the increasing very very high level of contamination it would also have radiation rise to levels that would make it very problematic for workers to continue to work on the site at all. briefly if you would jacobs from what you've been saying it's clear that the situation at fukushima tell someone cross or get

a fire i mean getting is quite deafening isn't that while we hearing all i found was a facility that still at risk of causing a great amount of devastation. will be in these situations managing public opinion is as serious an operation as managing the crisis itself which you have here in is you have four reactors that are all still emitting significant amounts of radiation into the environment so this is not a situation that has been brought under control it is a situation in which two large releases have been largely the explosions of the first we have been going past but now we just have ongoing leakage so to continue to tell people about that leakage and to continue to provide a lot of information about that leakage will cause higher levels of distress and also the perception that neither you nor the government is in control of the situation so it's a lot easier to just. reduce the amount of information that the public has so that

you're able to control the situation at least from the point of view of public opinion and people from here making. clips from the heroes. speaking to us about the ongoing situation focusing on one. senior u.s. and chinese officials and i think i want to show you of files the spike the suspicions that look not far behind they've been meeting to try and fix the crime from the shaky relationship they can from concerns. christine friends now. they say you should keep your friends close. and your enemies closer and as far as where china fits perceptions continue to evolve at this year's u.s. china strategic economic dialogue an attempt by officials from both the u.s. and china

a friendship we each recognize that our ability to work together is important to the overall health and stability of the global economy moment this is the what do your friends the people of china and the united states in the same global village has done you on the worst side. the purpose to open communication on concerns like the debt ceiling in the u.s. and the rate of currency appreciation in china and joint concerns about the environment we both have a great state in car being climate change and charting a clean and secure energy future currently china is the second highest producer in the world of renewable energy technology the u.s. ranks seventeenth and the overriding theme for day one of the u.s. china strategic economic dialogue which will respect and understanding that just because there is competition doesn't there can't be cooperation competition is not

bad competition is healthy is good. this is the reason why i have held the view for so many years and continue to hold the view that a rising china is a positive development it's a far cry from the dialogue of recent times were tough decision makers in the u.s. have been told that an increased power means an increased threat one that will eventually need to be dealt with by war and the way to avoid this war i believe is going to require and we're going to be able to get away from it in any case some kind of arms race with china but china is going to keep building and improving its capabilities each year the pentagon comes out with this report military and security developments involving the people's republic of china the findings often use to intensify military spending we are now looking at a power in the western pacific that can stand up to us or if there's a problem in response military spending is now more than the rest of the world

combined six times more than china. as a result u.s. debt has ballooned to more than fourteen trillion dollars much of that debt is owned by china it's at a time when many of the countries neighborhoods look like this an urban areas like this still first sun including the mainstream media the military is often the first priority when it comes to spending beijing is rapidly modernizing its strategic nuclear forces and developing space weaponry china is developing ten raisa ballistic missiles some of which will be able to strike the continental united states but critics say the threat from china is not the people's liberation army the threat from china is it's growing economic might like every economist you talk to in washington now is saying the new one soon is going to be. the actual currency of the world maybe by two thousand and twenty so the economic policies of

wash them should lead and not the pentagon so for. or follow on this day top leaders here are on all fronts with this message building mutual trust and respect will help us to solve shared problems but that view may change again when it comes time to play defense secure more money and more power for the military in washington christine frees our party a look at some of the world news now this hour and the european union has imposed an arms embargo on syria following the government's intense crackdown on protesters it also froze the accounts of first team syrian officials and is battling them from traveling to the it's concerned that u.n. humanitarian mission was stopped from entering the battles this year the wrong president asked some others agreed last week to allow medical supplies to reach the city's refugee. israel's marking sixty three years since it became a state with

a national holiday and military displays the country grew after the british mandate over the territory ended after world war two it spurred decades of conflict with muslims palestinians will mark the occasion with a day of mourning next week to highlight the hundreds of thousands of refugees lost their houses which still has peace in the region. now as if flying an aircraft was and trickier that show you once played it has been upping the ante on how to handle a helicopter it's about speed was relatively risk free taking the top off the lemonade bottle or the flight while base to get the strong winds and we helped to make it a better challenge a lot of that the team it took it up a notch chair you can see that while flying in circles he balances are full of water on a spatula of all things getting every drop in the car and in

a final climb up to question he gives a clean shave to you in really solid as it all happened without a single nick when it was all filmed. another was as far a promotion for the lunch and did a rescue service delivery company. and a very brave volunteer project if i did for that for the job ok do you stay with us all the latest business now with katrina. and a very warm welcome to the business news for this hour greece has just become even less credit for the standard and poor's country's long term rating by two levels to a single be the decision came after european finance ministers agreed athens needed more help to avoid debt restructuring the country's debt is rising as the nation faces record borrowing costs a year after receiving a one hundred ten billion euro bailout package and i can't would make it the lowest

rated country in europe greece is already in line with bell roofs. and here's the snapshot of the market's performance this hour oil prices continue last week's losses to have forgotten some ground lights where it is currently trading around one hundred one hundred three dollars a barrel sorry and brant is around one hundred fifteen dollars a barrel precious metals are gaining on the losses this hour gold is saying above the hundred and fifteen hundred dollars per ounce not we still what is trading over thirty eight dollars per ounce. european stock markets are high as investors i chinese trade does that in another round of the news reports oil and gas group had the biggest fall on the footsie seeking two percent in london after reporting a thirty eight percent drop in their first calls on net profit among other stocks budget airline easyjet is up five percent after a reported rise in revenue but also added that high fuel costs have resulted in a wide a net loss for the company the footsie is out one point two percent one point two
