massive anti-nuclear protest in the japanese capital marks three months since the deadly earthquake crippled the fukushima nuclear power plant there still no end in sight to the country's radioactive crisis. activists tried to draw media attention to a secretive meeting of some of the world's most influential figures demanding the builder group be offered up to public scrutiny. the next winter games host thrust city of sochi is getting a major facelift to make sure its infrastructure and sports facilities are fit for paralympic athletes and spectators with disabilities.

from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he said no way it's two pm here in the russian capital seven pm in tokyo japan and it's exactly three months since the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit the country causing widespread destruction and leaving some fifteen thousand people dead the nuclear crisis that followed shows no sign of abating as radiation continues to leak forcing tens of thousands of evacuees into crowded shelters our correspondent sean thomas is in tokyo where anger over the situation is spilling onto the streets . of course it is for three months after they got a standing earthquake and tsunami which are right to japan and devastated the fukushima region of course creating the nuclear disaster at the tepco daiichi power plant where we now know that three reactors have melted down and possibly melted throughout today is

a very interesting day on. tepco headquarters in central tokyo thousands of people have gathered so much in support of nuclear power believe it or not and thousands more who are walking the streets in organized protests carrying signs and banners and shouting out slogans through loudspeakers against nuclear power saying that there needs to be alternative sources of energy of all this of course and for the tepco headquarters the company responsible for the daiichi power plant and one of the reasons why this is important is that within the past week new information has come out saying that tepco at the initial phases of the disaster lied about the amount of radiation that was coming in and tried to downplay the situation saying that the radiation levels were not as bad as there could possibly be a meltdown then of course this past week it was revealed that they cut those numbers off in a half in fact and the amounts of the radiation was much much larger also coming to light is that the nuclear fuel not only melted down but possibly melted through the

inner containment vessels and into the outer seamlessly aligning which is a much much more serious problem one thing that people are worried about is the amount of radioactive water that is in the area this is the beginning of the rainy season and people are worried that with even more rain that radioactive water will then spill out in the flood in the area causing work examination also people are very angry about the children their schools which are contaminated as well right now kids are exposed to higher levels of radiation that ever happened in the past and they have to stay inside in sealed buildings without the ability to play outside it's also very hot and possible to get. angry but i suspect one person from the prime minister sharon has actually oversight saying that he will not subject his entrées investigation is a compromise this is even assertion which runs reference to the exact themselves to be higher levels of radiation of course our goal was an r.t. cruise to go into the super she was on and we're going to go in with some cleanup crews in see how that process is going right now but from tokyo sean thomas artsy.

here is our tease still ahead this hour hackers are seen as heroes like criminals. they can see. everything they are they are our. approach all the security systems we have people in the big apple how they feel about cyber attacks becoming more and more frequent. but when our close our team on a journey to one of the most beautiful locations in russia's cops is in the serious meaning of the day. but first some members of the u.s. congress have reportedly received a letter from colonel gadhafi saying he is ready to negotiate a cease fire their senses city of the letter has not been confirmed meanwhile nato airstrikes continue to rock tripoli it comes as gadhafi is daughter filed a lawsuit against the french president nicolas sarkozy and nato for intentionally killing four members of her family in

a military strike earlier an unnamed alliance official claimed that the alliance now considers colonel gadhafi a legitimate target but nato has long insisted that regime change is not an objective of the military operation ever more to speak more about that we're going now by mark aman whose modern history professor at the university of oxford thanks for being with us first off back in april gadhafi wrote a similar letter to president obama is this reported second letter to congress a sign of total desperation here. not necessarily pressure calm nature but he also has a new or strongest resolution was critical. and there is a vision in washington i have in the west in general inside nature. in this reported manner gadhafi says he's ready for ceasefire talks if it's authentic do you think

the u.s. will actually go for that. it's very different. paul the u.s. and its major allies britain and france to accept any kind of ceasefire will come gadhafi because they have repeatedly said that any settlement only although he is leaving office and even car on the other hand we have signs that in fact there are fact channels between gadhafi and the rebels some of the rebel leaders who were in discussions with the later leaders last week have said that they also talked with about his silence or sort of have a problem but nato is in charge of the problem of the politics on the ground in libya of entry with libyans who are not necessarily the nato leaders would like so you don't think the congress would go for something like that even if it would stop the blood sat. mr rahman can you hear me well this. looks he's trying to really play

a public relations are here say who are the people who are going to have a cease fire i believe because he's pushing in a sense trying to put the onus on you know outburst of nato leaders and we. are a little country that will be a pressure was greater on that as this bombing campaign. should be more more and more more money in the small since public opinion in countries like britain for final means are supportive of this campaign and i think for leaders expects but also of course a leader someone who will be over if you can. have if that is daughter has filed war crimes charges against nato and france for killing her family members of president arafat like do you think we'll ever see nicolas sarkozy per se held accountable for something like that. it's highly improbable pretty volatile or a big problem has been that western leaders have called for an end to impunity supporting international justice all governments all not really to some rule but we

have seen from. the complete willingness of the western leaders check the souls all the officials to investigation let alone forces or correction so i think anybody who gets a crash course or we're going to report merchant registration. for his years on trial. in which we're going to have a profit or so i spoke to nato chief and on thursday and he said that the alliance is not targeting individuals at the same time we get reports of civilian casualties every week also when this began it was a missile to protect civilians and now we have a high ranking official from nato saying that exactly is in fact over to target he also told us on thursday that nato will not intervene in syria do you think we can believe what mr rasmussen tells us. there's a big problem if we do sometimes feel with her. very sorry we seem to have it on video from you for now mark almond live for most

of your broadband from oxford thanks for that. well our web site r t v dot com we're asking you how you think libya's to be resolved so far more than sixty percent think nato should withdraw admitting that example has one fewer people fourteen percent say things should continue as they are in telecom the eventually got eleven percent think ground forces will resolve the situation any amount of you were suggesting to you when she said peacekeepers and split libya into the line let us know what you think at r t dr. shrouded in secrecy and invite only meeting of the world's political and financial elite is underway in switzerland the annual gathering of the builder group has attracted strong protests to numerous conspiracy theories argues laura m. it has been following the meeting. opposition to the build up or group meeting here

their recent attacks that led to a personal data loss for millions of subscribers the resident so has taken to the streets of new york to ask the public about being potential victims of hackers. so many intend out even the f.b.i. it seems like no one is safe from hackers these days. heroes or villains this week let's talk about. speaking they are heroes because. everything they are they are from. the security systems so what if a robber a bank robber is technically. proficient enough to get into a bank does that make him a hero to. the police department goes into certain things and the government goes into certain things probably i would put that on the same level as i would someone who goes in and hacks into a site are not supposed to be on their harvest which are five think of it illogical
