it's five am in moscow good to have you with us here on r t our top story it's been three months since a huge earthquake struck japan triggering a devastating tsunami that killed tens of thousands and also caused the worst nuclear disaster in decades at the fukushima reactors to mark the day a mass demonstration was held in tokyo protesting the against the use of nuclear power and concealment by authorities of the real scale of the accident or he's sean thomas has more from the japanese kaput. 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 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 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 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 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 and in flood in the area causing more contamination also people are very angry about the children their schools which are contaminated is. 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 to get shoes people are going to average out to a surprise one person from the prime minister sharon has actually been saying that he would not subject his i'm trying to do this be a think it is

a kind of goes this is a with the administration with their own children too so they just themselves to these higher levels of radiation of course our goal was an archie cruise to go into the fukushima zone and we're going to go in with some cleanup crews and see how that process is going right now but from tokyo sean thomas our team. sean bernie an independent nuclear energy consultant based in the u.k. says a recovery from the current nuclear disaster at the fukushima plant is going to be a long and painful. the explosions that took place in the first days they released a large amount to redo activity perhaps ninety percent of it ended into the entered the pacific because the prevailing winds the problem is that as a result of these explosions and as a result of the core melt in these reactors contaminated water the water that was fooled by used by tip good to cool the reactors has now built up on site we know that maybe five to ten thousand tons has been released into the pacific but there's

an additional one hundred thousand tons of highly contaminated water sitting inside the reactor buildings inside the turbine holes depending on the type of radiation can be seen in a relatively short period of time particularly with thyroid cancers in children but more long term. is over several decades. several u.s. congressmen received a letter apparently written by libyan leader moammar gadhafi it thanked the statesmen who are critical of president obama for u.s. involvement in nato military intervention the authenticity of the no 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 into the struggle in germany spain and turkey the main targets 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 now in the conflict is copy him self. doubt he never wanted conflict in the first place he did meet me here did he responded to it when washington and nato vague again it does he risk lives because of course he wants it injured you want to see science he doesn't want any of this to go or on the west. he wants if there's losers he wants an intercom. a quart in a nato capsule we do not want to add to it here in the bin an observer is on the ground including for us congresswoman green curry presidential candidate he said. conferring. rebel force and nato bombing casualties killings mass casualties mess destruction be you were asleep this mis needs are again they lie they are ordering propaganda message news they are hiding the truth

. on our website r.t. 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 all fifteen percent think things should continue as they are on top of conflict eventually and eleven percent think only ground forces will resolve the situation the same amount of fuel the un 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 mastercard. was speaking they are heroes because they can sold. everything they are they are there from all of the security systems that as well as a few less positive takes on the hackers in just 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. and they say anyone who dares to get eighteen will never get out a life rusher closeup team braves of the city of the dead to bring you were reports from the mystical and mysterious south of the country. first though it's an annual gathering of the political and financial elite and it's a veil of secrecy is enforced by an army of security guards these years build a bird conference is being held in switzerland and taxpayers are footing the bill even as europe tightens its belt and forces through tough austerity cuts attendees range from royalty to top c.e.o.'s and it's also under a now traditional media blackout artie's laura emmet reports from santa maria. as this build a big meeting has progressed here in samara since switzerland more and more processes have turned out to say they don't want it to happen here that camping out outside the hotel showing up in numbers really from all over the world they're all swiss people obviously but i will say met germans swedes and even americans who

have come all the way hey either to reports on what's going on all just cheap. test 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 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 they were sentenced if they were judged and sentenced they would be imprisoned for ten years to life according to sweep the floor people think it's a conspiracy theory but in fact there'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. and 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 of summer 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 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 in switzerland just isn't evident in the dealings of the build group the economic crisis is a resort to the policy of to build conference and global leaders we're seeing more democracy. and also in the economy this is meeting in switzerland does look like

a different affair from last year's and sit just in spain there are more process. says hey 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 bill to be comfortable meeting in secret like this for very much longer earlier my colleague bill dodd spoke with investigative journalist tony gosling who believes the media blackout of the conference is unacceptable given the far reaching decisions made by the. it is pretty obvious to me that this is a 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 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 guardian to get down there for a degree they ask you but isn't that the choice of the group they want to 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 this is very important to understand the very close links between nato and the builder 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 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 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 hutton who actually went to one of these meetings when he was still the editor of the observer newspaper here in britain. we've got plenty more on our website for you r.t. dot com here's what's online right now working in tandem russia's president joins the country's prime minister on a bike ride discussing social and economic issues also. some of the new york's ultra orthodox jews joining the palestinian struggle calling for the dismantling of the jewish state. tit for tat or provocation was the murder of your diet of

started preparing a welcome for disabled athletes from around the world. is it easy for a man in the 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 paralympic champion to inspect the newly built airport. i don't really like to this place is one of the few airports in russia that has lived a device that helps to see the passengers to board the plane through it this. he however there are issues that require attention and i'm sure they'll be dealt with . all newly built ice rink steady and ski. quipped 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 no wears off limit and even though competitions such as ice lead 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 in less than 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. first of all we're proud that russia will be hosting the paralympics it's good when the games are being held at home but on the other hand it's a great responsibility we just can't lose. the first paralympic test events in 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. banished police have arrested three men believed to be involved in carrying out cyber attacks on governments and companies including sony and mastercard spec's have been identified as members of a worldwide hacking group anonymous all this week online show host laurie harford is known as the resident takes to the streets of new york to gauge people's attitudes about 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 they console. 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 a hero to. the made movies about 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 kind of a logical point because we're just doing illegal activity this. thing you know just a mix. of 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 in trusting thieves essentially making that kind of a judgment call. these that's a strong word well they're going to take in people's him information for the good or bad 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 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 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 parents they're the next generation so have you you have. i'm putting stuff out there on 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 information in a database someplace confetti or a potential target. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe spanish police
