in serbia well she's available in most good hearted regency players with. artillery or taps nato and russia take different approaches to solving libya's deepening crisis. at the same time the sire radius in tripoli while brushes peace mediator tries to get everyone round the table from on the sides are in the race notion of from tripoli in just a few moments. france and britain seek u.n. action over syria's brutal crackdown on protesters but russia warns that it will not allow another foreign intervention into our internal internal affairs. because britain's steam ahead with plans to spread its nuclear facilities fueling concerns that terrorists could be eyeing the sites as targets.

but from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching are with me and use in that way it's two pm here in the russian capital twelve noon in tripoli libya where we begin this hour there nato bombardments continued throughout the night and what has been the most intense coalition attacks since airstrikes began in march or planes reportedly fired at the capitol more than sixty times killing thirty one people many if an ocean is there with the latest for. nato has indeed changed its tactics and has increasingly intensified and strikes on libya and particularly because of the cut off is a military arsenal intensification of the strikes comes after the statement by the british foreign secretary william hague beside the entire operation against gadhafi

in libya has no deadline and could last a young priest today netas defense ministers are meeting in brussels and the alliance the secretary general just for us and is expected to demand more countries conceded to the fight meanwhile what we're hearing from benghazi is that frustration among radicals is rising and they're concerned about the nato operation here levy is saying that they have the feeling that they to say control over thought what is national prize and actually russian peace mediator has come to a been crazy to try to persuade both sides to. get round the table make out not to tell of this is because it has met with the opposition leaders and has once again and aligned russia's position we see reason to think that airstrikes never sold political problems and we said it here very clearly as long as the

bloodshed continues the longer it continues the more difficult it will be to build a national reconciliation process after the civil war so we are very much in favor of building political bridges so to speak and we are ready to help the centimeter of the of how it's rated. russia things that the american union has to be the major piece mediator in this process. they have an arsenal they're reporting from the very heart of the conflict in tripoli meanwhile russia's peace envoy has met with a representative of colonel gadhafi in cairo again reiterating that only peaceful dialogue and how to libya get out of its crisis or the latest developments in the country throughout the day head to twitter followers are to underscore. now while mediating peace in nato bombarded libya russia says it's also determined

to prevent foreign intervention in another arab country in syria the regime is continuing its crackdown on protesters with france and britain leading calls at the u.n. for action but the process foreign minister says the kremlin will oppose and the resolution to this is for those in your thoughts when it comes 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 small town we believe that diplomacy should be angel from solving problems politically and not to create conditions for a new armed conflict we should support the process of national reconciliation on accord on constructive peace keeping roles for neighboring streets rather than trying to pass more and more resolutions which will fight mean siding with one of the parties in an internal political conflict. our world watchers insist serious troubles are internal problem and its people need to find their own way british journalist simon us has written extensively about the arab spring is warning

against the former colonial powers for reasserting their influence. it's a very very dangerous move by britain and france which interfere 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 that a revolution in 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 societies this is an internal struggle if you like for the future direction of syria and they 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 side a position of power inside the middle east and i have to repeat we have to remember that france had control of the 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 cuts very little ice so i think it's a very unwise move by the west to interfere. and watching aren't seen live from moscow still ahead for you the held back hindu is more determined to make a comment point of a lower count since fighting social stigmas to make their way for their place in society find out how labor and. i think some thirty nuclear energy producing countries are meeting in paris as governments become increasingly nervous up atomic fuel following the crisis in japan germany and switzerland plan to close all their nuclear reactors by britain is committed to expanding its facilities which explains is leading to security fears.

the lake district favors spirit villages and spectacular views 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 picturesque lake district sellafield nuclear plants improbably 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 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 at sellafield berkeley output has been a tiny fraction of what it was supposed to do and it cost an enormous amount of

money cables leaked which leaks to us described it as a big industrial embarrassment to watch elephant the majority of the sellafield plutonium stockpile is british but managers was so confident it would work they took plutonium from other countries promising to send it back as fuel a major customer was japan which now says it would buy the mox fukushima has changed the landscape because there is now a growing concern in japan about the whole new clear. business in particular the business in recycled fuel. and the purpose of what's plans of sellafield it was to make sure it would be sent back to japan using japanese kitani and even before for the. processing plant 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 the government plans for building yet another plant it could cost ten billion dollars much of it taxpayer money is really about getting rid of plutonium there's no other purpose for. more expensive to produce. uses to make it work and it produces nuclear waste is much more difficult to deal with for now the stockpiles here to stay posing a massive security threat from the biggest fear. is of course that stop will be targeted in some way. by crashing a craft onto the site or whatever so this enormous concern about it being used by terrorists for five kilograms with this material and remember we have something something approaching one hundred tons of it five kilograms of this to make it last uninhabitable for many many years so the field 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 mox sounds like a good way of getting rid of it but following fukushima there's no markets worryingly that hasn't stopped the government plans to pour billions into a second plant nor ever its r.t. sellafield cumbria. coming up in our business bolton members of the oil exploration cartel opec meeting in vienna where they're expected to announce the first post in our point since two thousand and eight many more. want to increase production quotas by roughly one of her barrels a day to lower fuel prices. take some pressure off the world economy this is done to help replace lost levy and supplies. later in the year we'll have more on that
