warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow with the alastair that's the song room pride being shown for the victory day hijacked by going out of nationalists in breast crane with nazi salute their type of veterans who fought to free them from invasion sixty six years ago yes ask your report on how it's just one part of a far right so in your up. a holiday for millions a street brawl for sun unlike most of the post soviet region on may the ninth this ukrainian city became a vicious display of neo nazis and. some of thousand activists from radical nationalist parties book the entrance to red army soldiers cemeteries preventing war veterans from getting inside and paying tribute to some in this part of ukraine do not see me the ninth as

a reason to celebrate leaving 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 western ukrainian capital city of off putting this on your lapel would have meant serious risk regardless of whether you're a veteran or not. try to get through life without limit 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 mosque right nazi salutes hurling rocks and small bombs that is how involved marks made the ninth year of work here in this picture are my brothers and like the liberation of this line 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. to such sinning surprised even the locals who had grown as used to protests on victory day these were the scenes from last year when the nationalist

wipe their feet on the red weekly banner their neck you're looking at i spent thirteen years in detention in siberia to prove that we killed it with something like this have happened in a new country that. their heroes are people regarded worldwide does not see collaborators replica shirts with the founders of the one nine hundred forty s. insurgent army step on monday and in the months ahead which are a big hit here there are some this freedom fighters even though for a while they form alongside the nazi army and kill civilians jews and russians in a gruesome manner how the main. political parties deal with these sort of movements today in cairo. as we've seen in ukraine where i am a step in money market rates in the. stocks of the 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 and this is only

part of the way to keep the perception of the past is making waves in other former soviet states namely as as marches and glories tying knots and agents in the baltic states such as largely and the story of the danger is that people begin to forget what we fought for what the veterans died for as we're seeing the reemergence of far right forces the nationalist forces that really embody sense resemble exactly the emerge with hitler in the one hundred thirty such behavior still only applies to the minority most people in this country still celebrate history with proper respect that the younger you seem should definitely allergic things leadership especially after demands for a revolution were clearly voiced by the end remarked looks you wish us to see the reporting from the fourth in western ukraine. and we've got reaction on the story on our web site home field of full footage of the disturbing about the switch from our guest that is victory day moral started in the brain it's available on all three videos section one. is about germans some kind of movement in

germany and now. off limits around the wiring in their words that made them to the. thing we've been to the spread across europe we are of course. libyan capital was hit by several airstrikes on tuesday morning and what's believed to be naysayers heaviest bombing of tripoli in weeks the warplanes perry targeted government buildings one of which is said to haue the center for women and children well the raid came hours after of course of heavy fighting between rival and production forces on the eastern front and at near the capital the opposition says

and the protests are gaining something the government denies discontent is also growing in some countries as people turn on leaders for violating big u.n. libya resolution for the sake of political ambition all these dental bushell reports from france. racist murderer the lyrics to a song president sarkozy's party tried to which lost his treatment of foreigners and its own people. do says the home of liberty fraternity is anything like us but it's free societies white miscue in reach for them everyone else is human needs to be taught the civilization france has been condemned for targeting groups such as illegally deporting group or gypsies while its interior minister also labels muslims as

force they will be casualties there is no middle ground there is no such thing as a clean war war is about three in four voters it's all because he's a bad president say they are he abused the un mandates on libya which allowed only the creation of a strict demilitarized area of sky. a no fly zone is an art of war it's a very. creditable expression to. we are going to. camp and even if new presidential elections next year rich people and politicians already. represent them actually the difference is that it's not friends decided it's. still elected president mr sarkozy which again we call the general pinocchio. submitting the culture of love.

and the orphans. of growing numbers a role the world falls is no or very different kind of words. see how it. well made the knives it's anything poisonous to pieces uranium weapons in libya even though the examination. suggest definitely in about twenty minutes from now and the nuclear activity tells r.t. that there are legal and moral obligation when it comes to maintaining during civilians but the notorious shells. it's a pretty dear amy i'm is a weapon of indiscriminate effect because of the impact what happens is that when the share of the round hits its target is explosive it has what's been described as an 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 under international law some countries have not yet recognized that it is indeed you you've seen on the web sites the british government justifies the continued use but it's absolutely unacceptable if you're talking well it's an except for any particular talking about . being there to protect the civilians to use a form which will impact on them in so devastating a way is absolutely shocking. the courts in finland has acquitted the publisher of the helsinki big web site that's linked to chechen terrorists michael stores that was accused of smuggling chechens

into the country will be chairman of a finnish organization called pro caucuses the behind the notorious curve curve said to website it's a no mouthpiece for al qaeda linked terrorist leader model who's on the most wanted list in both russia and the us forces trial didn't include any of his inspected links to international terrorism however when british pastor you are more lardy recently tried to draw attention to the chechen extremism movement he found himself prosecuted and defrocked by the authorities let's talk more on this now. but he's a human rights activist and the chairman of the finnish called quizzes friendship society just about been many thanks for being with us here on r.t. my cool story insists that he was smuggling people for humanitarian reasons yet when his terror linked websites criticizes the whistleblower he's targeted thoughts feelings again here do you think when it comes to the site freeing humanitarian or

terrorist aims. well i think that the court process against torture in finland was short trial the charge and the prosecutor didn't want to sentence him maybe they wanted to only to give some kind of justification for him for his activities well he's an activist who is actively promoting islamist terrorism against russia he has several websites he has an office and he's a representing officially. in finland and he's a. proliferating and through russian propaganda very actively together with the people who he actually smuggled into family so these people he smuggled illegally to feel that are actually operating a working for him against russian oil on the finnish soil but the. finnish public was very much promoting giving him some kind of fur back r.p.m.

the issue and himself he's off of course claiming that he's only helping chechens against genocide which is allegedly being carried out of carried out in russia so that's the case in short but of course i've been says that evaporating freedom of speech in this case i guess the argument is that when it's how i wanted terrorist blow to have his say why isn't surfing india drawing a line on it being in finance. well obviously the activities of nicole's daughter in feel it is an incitement of ethnic hatred against the russians russians he's a publisher of. over website of terrorist leader it's an official web channel four model for which contains feel materials about his statements against russia about terrorist acts against russia and russians it is

too clearly a side of it i think a trick but you know that the films gave the sentenced yesterday it was a victory day and it can be read as a kind of provocation or even as a kind of revenge so the fans wanted to use some of the you know some way to give back to russia because the family will feel it was for fighting on the side in the second world war and the feeling of loss to the war and of the war the islamist victories the one way for him to revenge to to russia against russia in this case i will tell websites protects it's not on the streets in a nationalist when parliament seats in running for jobs that is happening across europe it seems where do you think that it's all coming from and how dangerous really is it. will be close to sure he's an extremely dangerous individual and i'm very sure of that and he's a he's a giving political space for islamist extremism in the north and

nordic countries in northern europe and these are very dangerous phenomena he sleeve three of the international and the russian will be. some international and the russian law so are giving protection for all kinds of. and to governmental activities against russia from terrorists to call to the artificial opposition movement that cetera and this is so one case of this kind of. example of these kind of activities that he has served very strong political support in finland of course not by all finnish political it's all or all finnish government on the whole but several. very. influential finnish political figures for example here to hold. who's the most and the russian the political. activist who needs europe today and she you have she's a member of parliament she actually is the corporate thing with caused also very

actively against russia by all means. many human rights activists and the chairman of the finnish caucuses friendship society many thanks. are coming up for you in just a few minutes the asian tiger. if you want to is going to be. the actual currency of the world. for hailing great progress through gritted teeth as america and china try to keep of course the spying so why all. this for a close shave when you show you how siberia's tough guys go. and find out what else they can do a little later. i focus ina react to containing the spent fuel pool is in danger of collapse reports of which have been triggered by web cam

images which show the building leaning on nuclear research a doctor says if the troubles reactor collapses it would make it impossible. 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 be on b.s. that building number four was leaning to the right a little bit from the visual field of the 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 opera floor now in this reactor you have the spent fuel pool that is a much larger spent fuel pool it has fuel 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 increasing very very high level of contamination we would also have radiation rise to levels that would make it very problematic for workers to continue to work on the site at all in these situations managing public opinion is as serious an operation as managing the crisis itself which you have here in fukushima 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 tepco 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 head again. meanwhile a small group. has been. back inside the radiation exclusion zone around the damaged nuclear plant for the first time the government gave the mission for sure because it's people gather belongings and check on their properties want to see the company operating the facility tepco turned to the japanese government to help pay tens of billions of dollars in compensation to the evacuees senior u.s. and chinese officials have been put on a show of smiles just like this is not far behind they've been meeting to try and fix the cracks in their shaky relationship and consensus won't come cheap was artie's christine fratto explains. 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 that friendship we each recognize that our ability to work together is important to the overall health and stability of the global economy. to be a friend of the people of china and the united states live in the same. kinds of you on the west side we want to leave. the purpose to open communication on concerns like the debt ceiling in the u.s. and the rate of currency appreciation in china and join concerns about the environment we both have a great stake in curbing 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 but the overriding thing for day one of the u.s. china strategic economic dialogue which will respect and understanding just because there is competition doesn't mean there can't be cooperation competition is not bad competition it's healthy is good. this is the reason why i have held the view for so many years we 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 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 capability 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 if if there's a problem in response military spending is now more than the rest of the world combined six times more in china. as a result the 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 country's neighborhoods look like this and 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 varieties of 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 russia nowadays 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 policy of washington should lead and not the pentagon so for. or thought this day top leaders here all run off 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 in the military in washington christine freeze out r.t. . some of the world news and. the european union has imposed loans in bargo in syria following the government's intense crackdowns on protesters but also freeze the accounts of thirteen syrian officials and those battling them from
