one pm here in the russian capital this is our table the world news and much more welcome to the program. well to the be the first where nato bombardments continued throughout the night and what has been the most intense coalition since. march warplanes reportedly for the tripoli more than sixty times killing food to go in people what's the latest in the capital right now refer. to a traumatic night where you want to use up to date what's happening. well exactly you're absolutely right it has been tough and hard to stay for tripoli i can't even say that nato has launched the most intensive strike since the beginning of the

operation here in march bombs have been struck in the city every few hours and we've tried to count them and they have been dozens of. during the day time this is quite a new job because i we've this is people we have been able to speak to here in libya had been. previously. would only happen up to five strikes a day and only mostly during nighttime so we have to me but nato has indeed changed its tactics and has increasingly. has badly intensified. and particularly because of the cut off is. here in tripoli the libyan government spokesperson has come to the journalists in the evening say that at least thirty

one people have been killed in six to strikes on the libyan capital that's quite that's quite a lot i have to say and i have to repeat that this is not unusual this is for the first time ever that has. has. intensified. actually we are not lawful out. leave the hotel where we're staying and all the foreign journalists based but. we see. like. the c t and. this is there is the feeling. has reported but it's. targeted. the colonel compounds which is. about it is away from here journalists which are based here in this hotel had the feeling that happened in their backyard so this intensification intensification of the strikes comes after the statement by

the british foreign secretary william hague his side the entire hour he leave here has. and could last beyond christmas today netas defense ministers are meeting in brussels and. the secretary general just for rasmussen is expected to demand more countries contribute to the fight against khadafi just days ago have to remember i have to remind you nato has expanded its operation here and has started for the first time using attack helicopters meanwhile what we are hearing from benghazi. frustration among rivals is rising and they're concerned a little bit about the operation here leaders saying that they have the feeling that they too say control over what is national uprising actually back to you yes

a very difficult situation on the ground there as you say you mentioned been going russia's peace and boy has been holding talks in bingos with the opposition any progress there as far as you know. he absolutely right russian peace mediator has come to benghazi to try to persuade both sides to. get round the table. has this it because it has much with the opposition leaders and has once again reiterated underlined russia's position and russia's position is pads these conflicts could only be solved by political and diplomatic means let's listen to what he has to say while. we seriously think that. never sold political problems and we said it here very clearly as long as the blood sugar continues but the longer it continues the more difficult it will be to build a national reconciliation process off to the civil war so we are very much in favor

of building political bridges so to speak and we are ready to help. the centanni promote together fresh peace mediator who's visited libya earlier has once again reiterated by russia thinks that the african union has to be the major piece mediator in this process back to you. ok maria from north in tripoli for now thank you very much for that update it. mediating a scene nato bombarded in libya russia says it's also determined to prevent foreign intervention in another country in syria the regime is continuing its crackdown on protesters in france and britain the beating calls are a win for action and russia's foreign minister says the kremlin with oppose any resolution. but there's one of cons to the proposal to consider syria in

a similar way as was applied to the libyan situation and which the security council and international community have already become bogged down we believe that diplomacy should be aimed at resolving problems politically and not to create conditions for new armed conflicts we should support a process of national reconciliation on accord and constructive peacekeeping roles for neighboring streets rather than try to pass more and more resolutions which will in fact mean siding with one of the parties in an internal political conflict . the arab world watches insists serious troubles are internal problems it's people into their own way but it's terrorists has written extensively about the arab spring was warning against the former colonial powers reasserting their. it's a very very dangerous move by britain and france to fear in the syrian revolution because both countries have a very long history in this region palestine lebanon and syria itself and i think

it will be seen very much as western interference in the internal affairs of syria we have to remember the revolution the revolutionary process that is taking place in the middle east is one in which ordinary people are taking time to take control of their society so this is an internal struggle if you like for the future direction of syria and you feel there's a sense now that france or president sarkozy of france is moving like a demon to try and. place france back in a position of power inside the middle east and i have to repeat we have to remember that france had control over syria in from the end of the first world war and there was a very very long struggle for syria to get rid of the french for independence and so the idea that this is somehow some kind of benevolent force coming in to help the syrian population i think that's very little ice so i think it's a very unwise move by the west to interfere. well still ahead the held back hindus

are determined to make amends. to its cost groups as fighting social stigma to make their way for a place in society. officials from thirteen nuclear energy producing countries are meeting in paris because governments become increasingly nervous of atomic feel on the crisis in japan germany and switzerland and so close on their nuclear reactors but britain is committed to expanding its facilities store and it explains its leading security theater. district famous spirit villages and spectacular view. it's a hillwalkers paradise but one can't help wondering if people would be quite as happy to holiday here if they knew what was right next door here right on the edge

of the picture escalate district is sellafield nuclear plant in probably it's home to the world's biggest plutonium stockpile a waste product of civilian nuclear fuel plutonium is one of the deadliest substances known to man poisonous and convertible into nuclear weapons but nuclear scientists have a plan inside these buildings they take the waste plutonium and recycle it into usable nuclear fuel called mox it sounds great in theory but the reality is very different there is an existing plant field. which is being a tiny fraction of what it was supposed to do and it questioning your money cables leaked leaks for us described it as a big industrial embarrassment a white elephant the majority of the sellafield stockpile is british but managers were so confident it would work they took them from other countries promising to

send it back as fuel a major customer was japan which now says it would buy the mercs. has changed the landscape because there is now a growing concern here in japan about the whole nuclear business in particular the business in recycle. and the purpose of what's plans of solar field it was to make you think would be sent back to japan using japanese p ternium even before fukushima and reprocessing plant itself field was considered one of the biggest disasters in british industrial history producing just ten percent of its planned output huge cost but that hasn't stopped government. building yet another plant it could cost ten billion dollars much of it taxpayer money really getting rid of plutonium is no where the purpose for. more expensive to produce. uses to make it

work produces nuclear waste is much more difficult to deal with the stockpiles here to stay posing a massive security threat the biggest fear. is of course the plants. will be targeted in some way by. crashing a craft onto the side. of this enormous. by terrorists for five kilograms of this material and remember we have something something approaching one hundred tons of it five kilograms of this were to make. a school for many many years sellafield has been affected by global events recently in the wake of the killing of osama bin ladin five men were arrested taking photos here on suspicion of terrorist activities they were eventually released without charge but the incident highlighted the hazards of storing such

a huge amount of deadly material sounds like a good way of getting rid of it but following fukushima there's no market worryingly that hasn't stopped the government plans to pour billions into a second smocks plant nor ever its r.t. sellafield cumbria. but a few minutes not see the change which must go taxi drivers say it's just not fair to get cabinet it's usually very easy and most cabbies aren't official to protect the real ones could work for a report for us. we lift off as a crew of three headed for a lengthy stay in the international space station explore the relationship between man and rocket. india's class structure is arguably the world's most rigid people born into and there are costs held back from opportunities or even basic liberties one such group is breaking the

businesses like. the new law was meant to stop legitimate taxi drivers being undercut by so-called gypsy cabs which dominate russia's big cities. these are all buying it's often operated by immigrant drivers who lack local knowledge and pay no tax at the risk of large fines all drivers will soon have to obtain one of a limited number of licenses paying their car color equip it with a meter and sign a written contract with every passenger in theory it should bring all that to a lawless market. shit is perfect and this one might only work half of the time but at least it shows the authorities are doing something instead of nothing as in previous years. but according to you being in the taxi drivers union will achieve exactly the opposite of what it sets up to do here reconcile any contract for every trip is unworkable by making every cab including probably cause
