live from our studios in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he's now away it's six pm here in the russian capital eleven pm in tokyo and three months longer panda struggling to recover from its toughest crisis since the second world war on a nine magnitude earthquake sent a merciless enone which left thousands dead and missing a natural disaster triggered a major radiation leak at the fukushima nuclear facility and is still on the verge of a full scale nuclear catastrophe or course on its own thomas is in tokyo where anger over the situation is spilling onto the streets. it is three months after the devastating earthquake and tsunami which rocked 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 at tepco headquarters in central tokyo thousands of people have gathered some in support of nuclear power believe it or not and thousands more who are walking the streets and 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 in front of the temple headquarters the company was possible 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 capital 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 that there could possibly be a meltdown then of course this past week it was revealed that they cut those numbers in a half in fact. the government is not providing proper information and people young and old want to know the truth of the course of the situation with the radio ads

and the missions has not changed in the last three months nothing has changed since the very beginning the communities devastated the people have no homes there's no place to walk everything is destroyed the school also coming to life is the nuclear fuel not only melted down but possibly melted through the inner containment vessels and into the outer stainless steel linings 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 the more rain that radioactive water will then still out any flooding the area has been working terminations also people are very angry about the children their schools which are contaminated is. well right now kids are exposed to higher levels of radiation going to ever have been in the past and they have to stay inside in sealed buildings and out it will be to play outside it's also very hot and impossible recognitions people there everybody by surprise one person from the prime minister sharon has actually over so i said he would not

subject his grandchild that is he a she is a cardinals this is a wife and ministers with their own children to protect themselves from these higher levels of radiation of course our goal is in archie crews to go into the fukushima zone and we're going to go in with some kind of crews and see how that process is going right now but from. sean thomas are three. who are analysis on the current situation in japan and we're joined by dr robert chaika pastor of nuclear history at the here seem at peace institute thanks for being with us this hour dr jacobs we just heard from saw in their government reports of course released earlier in the week i think the damage and leakage were worse than previously thought but this really mean and just how dangerous is this for the country and its people. it's extremely dangerous the tepco and the government of japan it's known from the first few days of this incident that there were three full meltdowns that had occurred as information was kept from the public. the situation

currently is as you say that it was going to melt through the initial containment into the secondary containment and. at this point what we hope is that the melted core will not melt through that second containment if it goes through that second containment and exits the plant and enters into the ground this is unprecedented it's never happened ever before and nobody really knows exactly what that would lead to but i would also add that the amount in chernobyl there were a lot of things there was a lot of anxiety about whether there would be radiation entering into the groundwater where there's been massive entry of radiation into the groundwater in fukushima and that will simply spread through throughout the the water table in the area of northern japan and so the extent to which that contamination will affect people could be quite wide and large why have this kind of information is so vital has the facts and clap some crap. well in every single incident in around the world

in which there's a serious nuclear accident there is always a strong effort to minimize the public understanding about what that accident is and the reason is seen is that minimizing public anxiety and panic is an important thing but the trade off obviously in this case and in all these cases is that you increase the risk to public health and the exposures of citizens to radiation. so. that information should have been given to people immediately so that people can make the right decision people with young children who are particularly vulnerable to radiation exposure because their bodies are growing rapidly would be able to make a decision to move those children out of those areas where pregnant women would be able to move out of those areas by the pharmaceutical point of view you could say that it was successful public relations because at the time that three nuclear power plants melted down with the press largely was saying was can kemah government and the company get it under control well that was not an option it was not you

know they had melted down so when that happened the press was hopeful that it could be brought under control and then when the news finally emerges that three plants had melted down it's essentially not on the media radar anymore because it's months later so from a public relations point of view that successful however from a public health point of view it's disastrous with that said hundreds of plant workers are still scrambling to bring the crippled focusing reactors to a cult down i don't think we'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief when do you think this will finally be. well hopefully will be able to breathe a sigh of relief in two thousand and twelve at this point but that's the case scenarios are that tepco will be able to bring the plants and will not the plants the melted fuel into a safe hold state by early next year so far nothing else has gone right so this is a best case scenario but when when will this be over it won't be over for decades

they're still impacts from the accident internal it will be amount of radiation released into the sea and into the groundwater and also into the areas such high levels that this will ripple forward for decades to be health impacts and of the contaminations and people will not return to their own residence of the same a prefects era were evacuated of course from the area directly after the nuclear crisis began based on your own experience i think the example of these government has done everything to protect its people from writing. i think that they have it i think that there are still people living in areas where there is high radiation and there's children going to school in areas where there's high radiation and so there's been a reluctance to move as quickly as possible and what's more my own studies have a lot to do with the impact of radiation on communities over a long period of time socially and a lot of people from the fukushima area who even people who were born there but

live in tokyo are experiencing discrimination in japan by people who consider them possibly contaminated even though radiation is not transferable to other people but there are a lot of problems ahead if i can give you one quick example in august there's a very important holiday in japan called obama in which everyone returns to their hometown because the spirits of ancestors come to their burial places where their ashes are interned and the family welcomes them these people exclusions and will not be able to observe this will they just holiday and welcome there the spirits of their ancestors who return on when people find that their. unable to carry out their familial obligations for decades because they can't return to these areas people tend to blame themselves even if there are structural reasons so there needs to be some work done to help people through not just the radiation exposure but the social breakdown is that all the radiation exposure is in communities right dr robert jacobs live from hiroshima thank you very much for your analysis thank you.

well coming up for you here in our to the resident goes fishing for opinion on the recent hacking attacks on giant companies like sony. technically speaking they are heroes because they've been sold. everything they are they are from approach although the security systems this and some last problem it takes on the hackers and their motives in a few minutes also coming up. there are a lot of different bludgeons and myths around this area in the past more calls try to avoid going to the city of dallas as they say anyone who dares to get in will never get out alive find out how far russia close dice with data to bring you this report from the mystical heart of the country deep south of. but first a number of u.s. congressmen have received a letter apparently written by colonel gadhafi saying he is ready to negotiate a cease fire and asking for humanitarian aid now that he had no better has not been

confirmed nato is continuing to step up its airstrikes on the capital tripoli that's despite a fresh lawsuit by colonel gadhafi is daughter against the french president she's suing nicolas sarkozy and nato for killing four members of her family during an airstrike in april meanwhile the turkish prime minister has offered colonel gadhafi exit guarantees to wherever he chooses friends or mark almond of oxford university says libyan leaders position is not as weak as the west making out. obviously under pressure is calm horse will be wrong for nato but he also has in the u.s. congress a resolution was passed highly critical of what president obama has done since the bombing started. there is division in washington in the west in general and it's very difficult for the u.s. and its major allies france to accept any kind of ceasefire with colonel gadhafi

because they have repeatedly said and he said all who is leaving office meeting part on the other hand i believe that we have signs that in fact there are five channels between gadhafi and the rebels some of the rebel leaders who are in discussions with the major leaders. of so that they also talk with the silence or. have a problem but who is in charge of the politics on the ground in libya and she would . not necessarily. leaders would like. it's a gathering of political and financial elite and it's well of secrecy isn't forced by an army of security guards it's all bankrolled by swiss taxpayers even as europe tightens its belt and forces through brutal sterrett cuts the bills are part conferences attended by people ranging from royalty to top news outlets c.e.o.'s and it's also under a now traditional media blackout art is there any. opposition to the build a group meeting here in switzerland has brought together parties and special

interest groups from across the spectrum of political beliefs and it's not just the swiss people who come from further afield germany austria the u.k. and even the u.s. to try to report on or just to objects in person so this group of powerful people meeting in secret we've also heard reports of alternative media journalists being threatened with deportation by police and other low level harassment among the processes is switzerland's young. member of parliament for the people's party he came up here to fight for transparency here's what he told me people have a right to know what's happening in this or for us what's happening and i think people want to know what. who is what have they for plans for the future. i'm here for more transparency the agenda of the bills about group remained secret until long after the meetings over builder birdwatchers make an educated guess

about what's being discussed this year it's saving the euro build a big invention deciding the new head of the international monetary fund to replace infamous colleague dominic strauss kahn and of course the events of the arab spring which notable build about what is a curiously group of exacerbating into a bloody war to try and hike up the oil price some accuse the builder berger's of masterminding the financial crisis given the dire economic fates of the last to build about host countries greece and spain some fear for the future of independence north e.u. member switzerland and we think that there is a danger that because they are meeting in switzerland they want to get rid of the last stumbling block in this whole european union you know it's like an island which is in their way you know that we have to erect democracy but we're not in the union that we're not in and maybe we are afraid that they're trying to destroy this

pressure is mounting on the builder group on saturday as the swiss people's party the young socialists and of their. own the results house to try and draw the world's attention to what they see as nefarious undemocratic meddling in the face of the world's institutions. will be keeping you updated with anything we find out about meeting on our cues twitter feed laura so far as tweeted that our secret is the international. news channel in the front more of the mainstream media seems to be ignoring the event. are trying to underscore calm to stay on top of the developments the secret gathering in switzerland. an indomitable spirit a man with physical disabilities makes in a robin thousand kilometer trip from russia's far east to moscow all in an electric mobility scooter alexander caution began its journey from the pacific city of live

on stalk in the middle of april since then he's brave several injuries and a fever but remained on course towards moscow to fight the hardships alexander says he's happy to have made new friends raising awareness about disability and she and i thought the goal set by the paralympic games to be held in the twenty fourth in sochi and it's our. reports the city has begun preparing a world cup for disabled athletes from around the world. is it easy for a man in a wheelchair to travel to sochi a tough question for the mayor and his aides as the city's preparing to host the two thousand and fourteen winter paralympics he asked russia's their olympic champion to inspect these newly built airport. i actually like that this place is one of the few airports in russia that have moved to help disabled passengers to board the plane through the city however there are issues that require attention and i'm sure they'll be dealt with. all newly built ice rink steady and sends keep

lists and sochi are equipped in accordance with strict paralympic standards but in the city itself with its aging infrastructure still a lot has to be done to comply sochi sidewalks shops and restaurants are also undergoing mess of construction to comply with strict standards so that nowhere is off limits and even though competition such as iceland harkey and alpine skiing will be held far from the city center thanks to the games sochi will be more accessible for people with disabilities living unless the legacy for locals and visitors alike russia's paralympic squad topped the overall standings at the vancouver two thousand and ten winter games with thirty eight medals twelve gold silver and sixteen bronze we spoke with russia's paralympic champion. as he was preparing for the three week training in sochi we. were proud that russia will be hosting the paralympics it's going to games are being held at home but on the other hand it's a great responsibility we just can't move. the first paralympic turns to vincent

skiing and biathlon will be held as early as next year drawing unprecedented international turned to the small russian so for most people here it's a chance to show their hospitality to the special guests creating a comfortable barrier free environment the first of its kind in russia and also a great opportunity to see the russian paralympic team in action there is ball ski sochi. summer time and the living is easy and they say well perhaps it's about time russia's president and prime minister decide to discuss social and economic issues in a more relaxed way now that's just what they did the meeting is really of anybody got on their bikes for a ride around the presidential residence going to work where there were having in moscow afterwards and to talk to the badminton court and it's unclear who won the match but both president prime minister are said to have had great fun in the sun.

suspects have been identified as members of the worldwide hacking group anonymous well this week the resident takes to the streets of new york to gauge people's attitude towards hackers. so many intend even the f.b.i. it seems like no one is safe from hackers these days i these cyber punks heroes are belittled this week let's talk about that. they are heroes because they console. everything they are they are our approach. to security systems so what if a robber or 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 they're not supposed to be on their heart has which are five things kind of points and hard as well just doing illegal activities. just to make.

if it's done really to open the lens to things that should be i don't have that much of a problem is that it's so subjective though why are we entrusting eves essentially with making that kind of a judgment call. these that's a strong word holder going in and taking people's an information good or bad for the good or bad will if you're if you're going to end your taking a lot of credit card numbers and credit card accounts and doing that type of thing . you're using that information again her private citizens and i don't think that's a good thing have you ever had your personal information had i have actually yeah yeah and i felt. so violated and trying to control the information that it's just. it's an awful feeling oh i think it's going to get worse much worse because i have five daughters ranging from twenty three down to

twelve years old and they're yet you know they don't think anything's ever going to happen to them and they're out there with all of it and even though the warnings from a parent. they're the next generation so have you have you caught them putting stuff out there and you're like don't put that out there addresses cell phone numbers yeah whether you think hackers are villains or heroes the bottom line is if you have information in a database someplace consider yourself a potential target. or russia closeups or his next as a teen explores mysterious places north of santa. well christian churches agricultural prosperity and a magnificent ancient necropolis known as the city of baghdad today we look into

one of the most mysterious fights and father in russia a village of guard of but it's not the area of dark legacy that's driving locals away as our. discovers. we continue our exploration of the north besides in a republic and this time visit a unique historical area the village of dar gods or as the locals call it here the city of tad's the cemetery has almost one hundred asian stone cripps where people that lived in this area bury their loved ones along with their belongings now this valley stretches for over sixteen kilometers and is the real open air museum for asserting as they say this land helps them imagine life down here four hundred years ago meanwhile day to day life continues in this area alone sighs this images of the past now watch our report to find out more three hours drive through a dangerous sneaking road out in the mountains and tough trip but it's worth it

there are a lot of different legends and myths around this area in the past locals try to avoid going to the city of dance they say anyone who dares to get in will never get out alive and even now there are hardly any tourists around this place which might be more to the difficulty of getting here rather than any death curse. in the times of the plain many people with a new one left to brood them would come to the groups and wait for the demand for the mansion about the city of the dance of the beginning of the fourteenth century the ancestors of insanity and sounds down on the five mountain ridges but the land was so expensive they were forced to choose the windiest and most unserviceable pleas to build a cemetery. these days the area now provides a huge opportunity for archaeologists items found at the cemetery have been treated

both professionals and local homages these days the surrounding area may once again be a lawyer with agriculture and opportunity but is being deserted by people in search of a different lifestyle. for a local ascension vasya this is a devastating fact he has built his own hydro power plants that provide him and his family with tricity but he doesn't know and will inherit his legacy movie for them the idea was born over ten years ago and it took me several years to build it from scratch i used everything i could possibly find i call my by jennifer brief bio wheel but what i see now is that people are leaving half of our village left in less than ten years thanks chad believes the only thing that can reverse this situation is the creation of the necessary infrastructure new roads new jobs and new opportunities to stop people leaving young people may be attracted to the
