and that. is exactly three months since another quake triggered the fukushima nuclear disaster and people in japan are out in the streets demanding something be done about the continuing crisis. in switzerland the activists are venting their anger at the media blackout surrounding one of the world's most secretive and influential gatherings trying to shine a light on what the build of the group is up to. a level playing field the southern russian city of sochi undertakes major efforts to ease access for people with disabilities ahead of the twenty fourteen current impedes.

international news and comment live from our studios here in central moscow this is . three months on japan is struggling to recover from its toughest crisis since the second world war when a huge earthquake caused a merciless tsunami which left thousands dead and missing a natural disaster triggered a major radiation leak at the fukushima nuclear facility and it's still on the verge of a full scale and you could catastrophe of course thomas is in tokyo where anger over the situation is spilling into the streets. this is three months after they got a standing 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 the telco 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 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 in front of 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 those coming in and tried to downplay the situation saying that the radiation levels were not as bad that there could possibly be a meltdown and then of course this past week it was revealed that. couples numbers are in half in fact. the government is not providing proper information and people young and old want to know the truth of the. situation with the radioactive emissions has not changed in the last three months nothing has changed since the

very beginning the communities devastated people have no homes there's no place to walk everything is destroyed the school also coming to life is that the nuclear fuel not only melted down but possibly melted into a containment vessel into the outer seam of still 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 with even more rain that radioactive water will then stew out any flooding the area causing walking 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 that they ever have been in the past and they have to stay inside in sealed buildings the ability to play outside it's also very hot and impossible. to survive one person from the prime minister sharon has actually said he would not subject his entourage of se asia as

a kind of gaza city with the recession with the entrepreneur to judge themselves of these higher levels of radiation of course our goal is in our tea crews to go into the fukushima zone and we're going to go in with some clean up crews in see how that process is going right now but from tokyo john thomas artsy. and residents of the fukushima district and those who live near all i have not only faced radiation exposure but also social exclusion and that's according to professor robert jacobs from the hiroshima peace institute. there are still people living in areas where there's 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 a lot of people from the area who even people who were born there but live in tokyo are experiencing discrimination in japan by people who consider them costly contaminated even the radiation is not transferable to other people but there are a lot of problems ahead if i can give one quick example in august there's

a very important holiday in japan called in which everyone returns to their hometown because the spirits of ancestors come to their burial places where their actions are in turn and the family welcomes them these people exclusion zone will not be able to observe this will they just holiday and welcome there the spirits of their ancestors return and when people find their own able 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 breakdowns that follow radiation exposure is in communities. we're coming up for you are not an online talk show host the resident fishing for opinion on the recent cyber attacks on john companies such as sony master card. it was making they are heroes because they can solve. everything they are they are from across all of

the security systems this isn't some less a positive takes on the hackers and then motives in a few minutes also coming up. there are a lot of different legends and myths around this area in the past locals try to of floyd's going to the city of dallas and they say anyone who dares to get in will never get out alive. find out how russia close up to you guys to with death to bring you this report from the list of the countries. the story still to come but first a number of u.s. congressmen have received a letter apparently written by can look at their feet saying he's ready to negotiate a cease fire and asking for humanitarian aid but with entity the letter has not been confirmed now it is continuing to step up its airstrikes on the capital tripoli that's despite a fresh nor sleep by colonel gadhafi has gotten against the french president she is suing because of course the killing four members of her family during an airstrike

. the turkish prime minister's office exit guarantees to wherever he chooses radio host and author steven lemon says the colonel more than anyone else wants an end to the conflict. never want to. hear it he responded to it washington in new york all. because of course he wants it in the past you want to ceasefire years of war and if there's civil war in the west presuming you want to if there's losers he wasn't made a conflict washington in need or. want to live here is a been observed. including former u.s. congresswoman green presidential candidate. conferring. a rebel force and maybe what i mean these chileans mass casualties

mass destruction if you read this mysterious i hear. your warning and lose the troops. well on our website r.t. dot com we want to know how you think libya's deadlock can be resolved and that working on screen now was so far nearly two thirds that nato should withdraw admitting that happy has won fifteen percent say things should continue as they aren't in the conflict eventually and. eleven percent think only ground forces will resolve the situation and i can see them the same amount feel the un should send in peacekeepers and split libya in to your point simply put r.t. . it's a gathering of political and financial elite in switzerland and it's a veil of secrecy is in force by an army of security guards it's all bankrolled by swiss taxpayers even as europe tightens its belts and forces through tough

austerity cuts it all about conferences attended by people ranging from royalty to top news outlets c.e.o.'s and is also under a new traditional or should say under a now traditional media blackout and ortiz your emmet has more on this. as this build a big meeting has progressed here and samaras in switzerland more and more processors have turned out to say they don't want it to happen here they're camping out outside the hotel showing up in numbers really from all over the world there are swiss people obviously but i will say met germans austrians swedes and even americans who have come all the way here either to report on what's going on all just to protest here with their feet on the ground in person some of the people behind me say that they have been subjected to great harassment by the swiss police threats of deportation things of that nature they have varying degrees of suspicion about the building group some say that they are scheming behind closed doors to

introduce a new world order but some just want to point out that in many countries it's illegal for elected officials to meet in secret in these kinds of surroundings let's hear what some of the protesters told me the swedish and these the politicians are according to swedish law committing diplomatic treason and if they were sentenced if they were judged and sentenced they would be imprisoned for ten years to life according to some people think it's a conspiracy theory but in fact this is the ignorance of the people we've known for a long time pretty much what's been going on there. and it's certainly nothing good humanity not good for the planet and you know i don't want my kid growing up to be a slave in the new route harder to be honest this is not the only protest about kilometer away down in the town of summer it's the young swiss socialists have turned out again to process in fact they dismissed the people behind me they say

a lot of the these people essentially a crackpot conspiracy theorist but what they're here to say is this meeting goes against everything that they perceive to be switzerland that neutrality the transparency that they want to promote here. and switzerland just isn't evident in their dealings of the bills konami crisis. policy a conference and to global leaders we see more democracy. in the economy this year's meeting in switzerland does look like a different affair from last year's in suggests in spain there are more processes here there's also more media attention a lot of alternative media journalists have turned up to try to report on what's going on although r.t. is the only international news station that's represented here so we are seeing more protests we are seeing better organized protests than we saw last year better organized media facilities so it does look like if this momentum can be carried on

building a comfortable meeting in secret like this for very much longer. when i spoke to investigative journalist and he believes the media's blackout of the building conference is unacceptable given the foraging decisions made by those attending. it is pretty obvious to me that this is a it can be most convenient way to distract attention to say the sort of mix up this very important meeting with other silly kind of spirits conspiracy theories and i can tell you my blood is boiling at the lack of coverage in the western world if you had all of the leaders of the main banks in the west all of these royalty all the chief executives as well as people like george osborne with his treasury team there i mean we're talking about an incredibly important meeting even if one of these groups were to meet up together it would be on our headlines but since they're all in the same place you would expect more coverage i mean even in the gaza and you look down there. isn't that the choice of the group they want

a media blackout so they can discuss openly and honestly amongst themselves without being reported erroneously or whatever they don't want the media to be there is that right. well they don't want the media that's because i think what they're up to in there is absolutely is no good we have to look at what nato is our turn it is very important to understand the very close links between night and the building it was set up around about the same time as nato just after the second world war by the cia and the council on foreign relations who've been talking about this during and after world war two and the idea that this organization is not important not important enough for us to know about in this country is just ridiculous around the western world because what's happening here is we are spending our years voting in local and general elections and this arrogant bunch are choosing our party leaders so it does almost doesn't matter which way we vote we still find this secret artificial consensus which is cooked up at these build a big meetings spreads out around the world and it's not just me saying that this

is will happen who actually went to one of these meetings when he was still the editor of the observer newspaper here in britain. or warned any of the stories we're covering or you want to see that interview well you can always log on to our website in the course teaches a news article called. explore why for example at the moment ultra orthodox jews in the us believe an end to the state of israel is the only solution to the conflict in the middle east was on the website of the moment. peddled powerful nutriment relevant but in the putin help upon their pipes to discuss social and economic issues. indomitable spirit a man with physical disabilities makes the eleven thousand kilometer trip from

russia's far east to moscow all on an electric mobility scooter and is under caution and began his epic journey from the pacific city of livestock in the middle of april since then he's braved several injuries and a fever but remained on course towards moscow hardships alexander says he's happy to have made new friends are raising awareness of disability issues and that's also the goal set by the paralympic games to be held in twenty fourteen in sochi and as artie's. reports the city has become preparing a welcoming for disabled athletes from the. 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 the best russia's paralympic champion mikkel today and you have to inspect small cheese newly built airport. i actually like that this place is one of the few airports in russia that has proved a device that helps the civil passengers can 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 ski pistons 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 massive construction to comply with strict standards so that nowhere is off limits and even though competitions such as iceland hockey 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 a lasting legacy for locals and visitors alike russia's paralympics topped 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're

proud that russia will be hosting the paralympics it's good when the games are being held at home. and it's a great responsibility we just can't move. the first paralympic. skiing and biathlon will be held as early as next year drawing unprecedented international attention to the small russian town 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 and russia and also a great opportunity to see the russian paralympic team in action does bosky r t. the spanish police have arrested three men believed to be involved in carrying out cyber attacks on governments and companies including sony and mastercard and suspects have been identified as members of the worldwide hacking group anonymous this week online talk show host the resident takes to the streets of new york to gauge people's attitudes to.

so many intend even the f.b.i. it seems like no one is safe from hackers these days i do you are punks heroes this week let's talk about. your heroes because. everything they are they are from all of 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 they're not supposed to be on their hot cars which are five things. because we're just doing illegal activities. just to make. cars if it's done really open to things that should be i don't have that much of

a problem is that it's so subjective though why are we in trusting the existentially with making that kind of a judgment call. that's a strong well they're going to take in people's an information for the good or bad if you're if you're going in in your taking a lot of credit card numbers and credit card accounts and doing that type of thing and you're using that information again hurt. i don't think that's a good thing have you ever had your personal information had i have actually you know and i felt. so violated and trying to control the information. it's awful feelings 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 you know they don't think anything's ever going to happen to them and they're out there with all of it in even though with the warnings from peter. and they're the next generation so if you caught them putting stuff out there and

you're like don't put it out there yeah i guess is cell phone numbers yeah but do you think hackers are villains or heroes the bottom line is if you have information that database templates consider yourself a potential target. well look at some other world news in brief in our world update the spanish police were forced to break up a protest outside the city hall in the capital with three cameras the story and it was organized by the growing protest movement if they know. what it sees as a corrupt political system favoring the interposed right and left wing parties it was one of a wave of protests across the country gets high unemployment and. refugees from syria been pouring into turkey after the syrian government intensified its efforts against the rebel city of just a good most residents of reportedly abandoned the area and activists say more than
