9:03 pm
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 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 more rain that radioactive water will then still out and flooding the area causing work attenuation 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 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 i guess that's why their average office about one

pooled by used by to put a cool reactors has no built up on site we know that maybe five to ten thousand tons has been released into the pacific but there is an additional one hundred thousand tons of highly contaminated water sitting inside the reactor buildings inside the turbine holes depending on the type radiation can be seen in a relatively short period of time to create let's tie really cancers in children but more long term. is over several decades. several u.s. congressmen receive a letter apparently written by libyan leader moammar gadhafi it thank the statesmen who are critical of president obama for u.s. involvement in nato military intervention the authenticity of that it hasn't been confirmed meanwhile alliance forces have kept up airstrikes near the country's capital allegedly wounding a senior khadafi aide earlier u.s. and its close allies britain and france called on other alliance nations to commit themselves more deeply to the struggle in germany spain and turkey the main targets
9:06 pm
of the appeal referred to are for more peaceful solutions with turkey's prime minister offering the libyan leader a safe exit according to radio host and author steven lenin the person most interested never in the conflict is copy of stuff. he never wanted conflict in the first place i mean we hear it he responded to it when he was washington and nato will be here again. because of course he wants it interest you want a ceasefire he doesn't want it if there's a go or on the west. he wants it if there's news and he wanted me to go. washington and nato absolutely do not want to hear it in an observer is on the ground including for us congresswoman green party presidential candidate he says he . can truly. force and maybe what i mean these chileans mass casualties mess destruction is you where you sleep
9:07 pm
is the new season of c.n.n. you. begin. hiding the truth. on our web site r t v dot com we want to know how you think libya's deadlock can be resolved so far the only two thirds of respondents think nato should withdraw fifteen percent think things should continue as they are on top of conflict eventually ends a lot of percent think only ground forces will resolve the situation the same amount of fuel the u.n. should send in peacekeepers and split the country into. still ahead here on r t the resident hits the streets of the big apple for opinion on the recent cyber attacks on sony and master card. it was making they are heroes because they can solve. everything they are they are the. approach although the security systems got as well as a few less positive takes on the hackers in just
9:08 pm
a few minutes plus city on like any other. there are a lot of different legends and myths around this area in the past locals try to avoid going to this down it's they say anyone who dares to get in will never get a life the rush or close up team braves of the city of the dead to bring your report from the mystical and mysterious south of the country. first though it's an annual gathering of the political and financial elite and its veil of secrecy isn't forced by an army of security guards these years builder berg conference is being held in switzerland and taxpayers are footing the bill even as europe. that's building forces through tough austerity cuts i don't use read from royalty to top c.e.o.'s and it's also under a now traditional media blackout artie's lauren it reports from some words. as this build a big meeting has progressed here in summer it's in switzerland more and more processes have turned out to say they don't want it to happen here they're camping out
9:09 pm
outside the hotel showing up in numbers really from all over the world there are swiss people obviously but i will say many germans austrians swedes and even americans who 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 and things of that nature they have varying degrees of suspicion about the build a 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 this swedish and these 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
9:10 pm
for ten years to life according to sweep the floor 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 definitely 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 ruled harder to be honest this is not the only protest day about kilometer away down in the town the young swiss socialists have turned out again to process in fact they dismiss the people behind me they say loss of the these people essentially a crackpot conspiracy. 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 in switzerland just isn't evident in the dealings of the build group the economic crisis. policy of conference and.
9:11 pm
we. see. this year's meeting in switzerland does look like a different affair from last year's in sick 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 better organized protests than we saw last year better organized media facilities so it does look like if this momentum can be carried on they build a comfortable meeting in secret like this very much longer. earlier my colleague spoke with investigative journalist tony gosling who believes the media blackout of the conference is an acceptable given the far reaching decisions made by the. it is pretty obvious to me that this is a complete most convenient way to distract attention to say
9:12 pm
a sort of mix up this very important meeting with other silly kind of spurious 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 from the cancer institute 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 a media to be there is that royce. 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 this is very important to understand a very close links between nato and the builder it was set up around about the same
9:13 pm
time as nato just after the second world war by the cia and the council on foreign relations who'd 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 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 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 who actually went to one of these meetings when he was still the editor of the observer newspaper here in britain. many more are words for you are. live right now working in tandem russia's president or one of the country's prime minister on a bike ride discussing some. economic issues also. some of new york's ultra
