three months on from the fukushima nuclear disaster in japan public anger at the concealment of the true size of the disaster spills on to the streets as people demand action to end the ongoing crisis. the government is not providing proper information and people young and old want to know the truth. powerful dangerous and possibly illegal that's the view of activists protesting the secretive meeting of some of the world's most influential political and financial leaders a. conference. looks at a large scale modernization of russian city of sochi undergoing to make the two thousand and fourteen power olympics games easily accessible for participants and spectators alike.

two am in moscow i'm good to have you with us here on r t our top story three months on japan is struggling to recover from its toughest crisis since the second world war when huge earthquake caused a merciless tsunami that left thousands missing or dead the natural disaster triggered a major radiation leak at the fukushima nuclear facility and it's still on the verge of a full scale nuclear catastrophe sean thomas is in tokyo where anger over the situation is spilling out into the streets. there is a three months after the devastating earthquake and tsunami which rocks 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 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 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 of this of course in front of the tepco headquarters the company responsible for the guy power plant 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 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. also know the situation with the radioactive emissions has not changed in the last three months nothing has changed since the very beginning the communities devastated the people have no homes there is no place to walk everything is destroyed also coming to life is that 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 with the more rain that radioactive water will then spill out any flooding in the area causing more contamination also people are very angry about the children there are schools which are contaminated as. right now kids are supposed to higher levels of radiation than they ever have been in the past and they have to stay inside in sealed buildings without the ability to play outside it's also very hot and impossible and here's why they're angry about this in fact one person from the prime minister sharon has actually already said he would not subject his i'm trying to this day think it is a kind of goes this is a with the administration which iran children to jack themselves to these higher levels of radiation of course our goal is in our t.v.

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 sean thomas our team residents of the stricken fukushima district and those who live nearby have not only faced radiation exposure but also social exclusion that 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 fukushima area who even people who were born there but who live in tokyo are experiencing discrimination in japan by people who consider them toss of the contaminated even the radiation is not transferable to other people but there are a lot of problems ahead if i could give one quick example in august there's a very important holiday in japan called old bones 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 a no bone when people find that they're 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 breakdowns that follow radiation exposures in communities several u.s. congressmen have received a letter apparently written by the libyan leader colonel moammar gadhafi thanked the statement statesmen who are critical of president obama for u.s. involvement in nato military intervention the authenticity of the note has not been confirmed meanwhile alliance forces keep ramping up airstrikes near the country's capital allegedly wounding a senior could on the aide earlier the u.s. and closest allies britain and france called on other alliance nations to commit

themselves more deeply to the struggle but germany spain and turkey the main targets of the appeal referred to offer a more peaceful solution with turkey's prime minister offering the libyan leader a safe exit according to radio host and u.s. based author stephen lenin the person most interested in resolving the conflict should be cut off and from self. doubt he will want to concentrate in the first place. he responded to it when washington and nato. with the response comes of course he wants it in he was a cease fire he doesn't want any of this to go war and the west is committing the bios he wants and there's reasons he wants him into conflict washington and nato fastly do not want to add to it here in the bennett observers on the ground including former u.s. congresswoman green party presidential candidate he said indicated. conferring.

rebel forces and nato bombing casualties killings mass casualties mass destruction the us media oh this misleads are ok and they lie they are ordering propaganda message news they are hiding the truth. on our website r.t. dot com we want to know why you think libya is deadlocked should be resolved so far nearly two thirds of respondents think nato should withdraw admitting that gadhafi has won fifteen percent think things should continue as they are until the conflict eventually ends at eleven percent think only ground forces will resolve the situation same amount field the u.n. should send in peacekeepers and split libya into two countries. still ahead artie's the resident hits the streets of new york for opinion on the recent cyber attacks on sony and master card. speaking they are heroes because they can sold.

everything they are they are. up front all of the security systems that as well as a few less positive takes on the hackers in just a few minutes also a city unlike any other. there are a lot of different lachance around this area in the past locals try to avoid going to sit down and they say anyone who dares to get a will never get a life or russia close up team braves the city of the dead to bring you or a port from the mystical and mountainous south of the country. but first it's an annual gathering of the political and financial elite and it's a veil of secrecy isn't forced by an army of security these years build a bird conference is being held in switzerland and taxpayers are footing the bill even as europe is tightening its belt and forcing a few tough austerity measures attendees range from royalty to top news outlet c.e.o.'s and is under a now traditional media blackout artie's lauren it reports. as this building

meeting has progressed here in summer it's in switzerland more and more protesters 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've also 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 low grade harassment by the swiss police threats of deportation things of that nature they have varying degrees of suspicion about the builder burge 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 attendees the politicians are according to swedish law committing diplomatic treason and if

if they were sentenced if they were judged and sentenced they would be imprisoned for ten years to life according to swedish law people think it's a conspiracy theory but in fact it's just the ignorance of the people we've known for a long time pretty much what's been going on there. and it's definitely not good for humanity not good for the planet. you know i don't want my kid growing up to be a slave in the new world harder to be honest this is not the only protest day about kilometer away down in the town somewhere it's the young swiss socialists have turned out again to process in fact they dismiss the people behind me they say a lot of the these people are essentially a crackpot conspiracy theorists 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 hair and sweat. and just isn't evident in

the dealings of the build group the economic crisis to have the policy to build a. global leaders we're seeing more democracy. in the economy this is meeting in switzerland does look like a different affair from last year since it just 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 a better organized protest than we saw last year better organized media facilities so it does look like if this momentum can be carried on the build of a group be comfortable meeting in secret like this for very much longer earlier my colleague bill dodd spoke with investigative journalist tony gosling and he thinks the media's blackout of the building burned conference is unacceptable given the

far reaching decisions made by those attending. it is pretty obvious to me that this is a complete most convenient way to distract attention to say the sort of mix up this very important meeting with other silly kind of spurious conspiracy theories 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 you know 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 from the guardian to get down there. but 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 what they're up to in there is absolutely is no good we have to look at what nato is up

to and it is very important to understand the very close links between nato and the builder burks 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 almost doesn't matter which way we vote we still find that this secret artificial consensus which is cooked up at these build a bird meetings spreads out around the world and it's not just me saying that this is will happen actually went to one of these meetings when he was still the editor of the observer newspaper here in britain. now for more on all the stories we're covering you can always check out our t. doubt com here's what's online for you right now. working in tandem russia's

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 in russia and also a great opportunity to see the russian paralympic team in action. r t sochi. spanish police have arrested three men believed to be involved in tearing out cyber attacks on governments and companies including sony and mastercard the suspects have been identified as members of a worldwide hacking group anonymous this week online talk show host the resident laurie harshness takes to the streets of new york to gauge people's attitudes toward hackers. so many intend out even the f.b.i. it seems like no one is safe from hackers these days are these cyberpunks heroes or

villains this week let's talk about that technically speaking they are heroes because. everything they are they are from all of the security systems but what if a robber a bank robber is technically. proficient enough to get into a bank does that make him my hero to. made movies about the police department goes into certain things in 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 thing fossil kind of a logical point because we're just doing illegal activity this. thing you know just to make some contacts romantic of all talkers if it's done really to open the lens to things that should be opened up i don't have that much of a problem is that it's so subjective though why are we entrusting thieves essentially with making that kind of a judgment call. these that's

a strong word well they're going to take in people's him information good or bad for the good or bad will if you're if you're going in and you're 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 private citizens and i don't think that's a good thing have you ever had your personal information had i have actually yeah you know and i felt. so violated and trying to control the information and stuff like that it's just. it's an awful feeling to 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 and even though the warnings from here. they're the next generation have you have you caught them putting stuff out there you like don't put that out there. phone numbers yeah whether you think hackers are villains or heroes the bottom line is if you have

foreign minister. about how the move could affect bilateral relations is appropriate. when you have such a center which allows for the nato missile defense system and the russian missile defense system to exchange information and to do both in coordination and you back that up with the political will which was very clear from the lisbon summit. to work together then slowly but surely we will develop that cooperation in the trust that is vital so i don't think that anyone in russia should feel threatened by the system on the contrary it provides was a wonderful and to the practical opportunity to join work together against a common sort of.
