from. he didn't go on whether it's already been reactor number one it grew quickly rushed through the radiation levels are much broader or deemed to be short term. and coming up we have all been through. a meal plans to expand its air strikes levy is northwest while colonel gadhafi uses a high profile game of chess to reiterate his reluctance to leave the country plus . we enter it we are we are we there is this huge media hype over the scandalous case of an american senator tweeting racy pictures of himself sparks concerns that the u.s. is letting vasa overshadow real news. in

the russian capital you're aware that. in the program a radioactive substance has been detected in seawater around japan's fukushima plant with concentration levels two hundred forty times more than the safe limit scientists warn that the strong element is highly dangerous for humans as it can accumulate in bones and is believed to cause cancer are these sean thomas measure the radiation africa shima city and says in some spots it's a thousand times higher than normal. here we're eighty kilometers away and the radiation levels in this area in many many places in many instances are much higher or really close because if you look at a map of where the city is in relation to the actual nuclear facility about the plant number one where a lot of that radiation is and mating from the winds are bringing that radiation in

to who could see it seem a city and the rain in the wind is blowing the radiation in this direction so we were at a spot where the radiation levels or one thousand times what is considered to be a safe dose is so very very dangerous levels and so scientists that we are working with today from different universities are working together on projects to try to figure out ways to use a simple methods to actually clean that radiation up and these guys actually i can assure you we. are working to the can't contaminate the soil right now. and as you can see these two gentlemen are wearing any protective clothing that the scientists are so one of the concerns is that you can actually have one spot which it's only thirty times of the accepted normal levels and then you go to another spot which is just a metre away and it can jump to five hundred to a thousand times depending on where rain water and mud have collected one of the concerns of course is that grass is you can still get

a filter for nuclear radio active material and are drawn to grassy places when they go to those areas they could actually be absorbing more radiation from the grasses well so what's interesting is this area that we're in right now is considered a safe area it is not considered a mandatory evacuation area but authorities are looking into to see whether it should be considered evacuation or at least hotspots within the city should be evacuated because of these very very high micro places these small. boats if you will where the radiation is just off the charts. reporting there from fukushima and the fukushima nuclear crisis has also sent shock waves through the world's motor industry as rumors caused potential buyers to lose faith in japanese cars officials maintain that all the calls are only checked for radiation before shipment but reports suggest that contaminated vehicles could still find their way

into the market likes here chefs he has more. oh has been contemplating a change of hardcore for months a fan of japanese vehicles she wanted to upgrade her off road to when you were a model but her car dealing friend said it was not the right time they're still here but the us could also yeah i was told privately that all new japanese cars are radioactive because of the fukushima disaster this shipment was supposedly blocked by the authorities. but unofficial dealers bribe them and those cars on to the streets officials at the ports left off our question of whether there had been any contaminated cars here after the japanese fallout these off roaders worship then before the fukushima disaster in japan and even they were checked for radiation or claim there's absolutely no chance of contaminated making their way onto the territory is that these guys arrived to us transiting through greek and turkish

border if anything was wrong it would have been spotted there in the first place in the middle east to double check any biological threat. however ecologists say these checks may not be enough to determine radiation growing is a radioactive particles are very small and. they can be found in fields just radiators inside small and that's why it's very difficult to detect them with a regular guy who has the disposal of the customs you know. these shots were filmed inside the chernobyl exclusion zone several years ago scavengers stealing contaminated paid agents from the. one costs around twenty dollars on the black market tens of thousands have been removed from the radioactive particles may be small but are still gravely dangerous a person subjected to them for a lengthy period can experience various lung diseases and even chance are so huge

the temptation to buy a new japanese car is too hard to resist experts advise turning to a group. to check whether it is safe. or serves to all see it was just and in ukraine. colonel gadhafi said he's. he will not leave libya despite heavy pressure and he used chess game was a visiting president of the world chess federation to repeat his defiance meanwhile nato made its move an ounce and plans to expand the target area of its military strikes in libya and hit it off the forces in the northwestern part of the country there were reports that the rebels seized the city of zawiya just thirty kilometers from the capital tripoli but the claims were later denied by the libyan government yes radio host and peace activist well chairman says that the west has hijacked the uprising in libya to serve its own interest. the united states is spending two million dollars a day and a billion and a half dollars just been handed to these so-called rebels usually the leadership of

these rebels how do you follow his star as a twenty year operative of the central intelligence agency the cia and the. hijack this uprising initially. and it is a complete subordinate. oppositionist group now that is being funded and armed by the nato powers and the united states their objective is to carve up libya into several countries and diseases forty four point two billion barrels of oil reserves and that's what the objective is it's the sixth imperial war that obama is waging in the region and it is a genocidal war in all its features the target is the population at large not merely because the regime. in syria president asif forces have reportedly taken over the rebel held town obvious that i should go for meanwhile pressure is mounting on syria with britain and france pushing a draft u.n. resolution but russia and china who oppose any attempts to intervene in the syrian

conflict have said they won back the move however arab world observer adding and believes the west is using the u.n. to benefit from the country's civil conflict the united nations. is is merely an international organization working to promote the interests of its most powerful members notably the united states britain and sort of the western world is concerned also from so in other countries in the european union because just as they are appropriate considering cracking down on the syrian government they have not considered cracking down on the governments of bahrain or other or each of the point in time when there was also in. what is happening in syria and simultaneously in almost all countries of the middle east and in north africa. we flexed internal problems all countries have internal problems no doubt about it and there is a genuine desire on the part of many people in syria no doubt to get rid of its very fossilized government but there is also external interference notably from the

united states and from britain and from france to take advantage of these internal problems. still to come on the program and today israeli sentiments gathering steam in europe activists demand authorities banned imports of products from be offered by palestinian territories. plus a car crash victim who made a road will tear a journey from the far east to moscow in a bid to draw attention to the daily challenges faced by disabled people. thousands have been out on the streets of athens in protest against the second round of the stereo measures debated in the greek parliament people don't want new taxes or wage cuts but without them the country will not receive international bailout money is an athens. when hale's in fact missed there you can see just how many people that turned out in the fresh air by the name calling

spoken to some of the younger people here they say they are because they really like my right leg but. we should put them. in the voting system. but the people of the dozens of doing things. but situation the look on the game and that's why we came here to tell them that they are incapable of saving us and we want to. go our way may cover elections now and make it a new government that will sell past and out people to improve on the but the. many saying is that we're paying the price of mining in price. in. the finite price than you can. sarah ferguson porting there sarah first continues to track the developments in

a similar operation was stopped in international waters last year murphy feel things have got so bad he's ready to risk his life hopefully people and kills this time as they were last time by these raiding military forces. that it brings the world's attention to this issue such moves say experts false politicians and business to act to public opinion change your mind before you were thinking that israel was address by the body today public opinion really capacity to challenge and international institution the europeans and the un and also. the last time such a campaign was mobilized internationally was against the south african apartheid regime israel may have powerful allies but. position in europe to its policies is grueling to. brussels. israel's blockade of gaza is

damaging not only to the area but to israel itself says the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs r d's exclusive interview with baroness catherine ashton is coming your way next hour but first here's a preview. we're very consistent in saying what needs to happen is that the israelis need to open the borders with guards or the love people and goods to move freely now i recognize the importance of the security situation for israel we've always done that but it seems to me a position that's not tenable you have the inability to get the economy moving in gaza and one of the things i've been saying to the israelis for some time is it's in their interest to see economic growth and development today also lots of small businesses you know that could really do well lots of people who want jobs eighty percent of people in gaza receive food aid so many young people who don't have a future and part of the answer to that part of making sure that we have security

is giving them that future and that means allowing in and out the products the goods were girls that could actually sell and support its own economy. police in the u.s. have closed an investigation into the so-called sexting case that's dominated national headlines for over two weeks a senator who tweeted a teenager was a racy photo of himself as overshadow a world news with some media putting the story ahead of the war in libya and raging violence in syria our she's going and she can look set where the american media is priorities lie but it doesn't know the merican media can't get it out of anthony we nursed crotch shot me read your words congressman who sent this lewd photo to a young woman via twitter and the story may. perfectly sexy dancing with a shameless cover up this is a twitter hoax

one of the most blazing critique coming from the pentagon chief in fact i believe that it had a hidden agenda to use the former cia chief and his experience to deliver on its european partners us far as afghanistan and libya is concerned indeed drawbar gateshead their point first time raise the issue of their reliability of the nato alliance as soon as he assumed his post four years ago when he surprised the kratz in brussels want to he called them on capable to be on a par with the united states forces regarding their counterinsurgency skill and experience if anything and that time robert gates was probably too polite so robert gates to close that final chapter to their long overdue funeral for nato

to come to a standstill. nature's beauty as dangerous explored in our special report today we'll look into the awesome power of an avalanche here's a taste of what's coming your way in about fifteen minutes. one stream cascading from slow. to view is midsomer much. of this beauty brings down at a speed of more than two hundred kilometers. the stampede. the spy being confined to a wheelchair for over ten years one russian hero hasn't lived that hold him back he covered eleven thousand kilometers right across russia with an electric buggy to draw attention to the plight of disabled people. met the man in person.

alexander's top speed is not much more then you can pace it's been more than a decade since the accident which put him in a wooden chair driving the other car was america's consul general in the village of us talk at the trunk and that's why. the problems began as a diplomat american douglas can't could claim immunity officials back in washington refused to waive his rights so alexander had no chance of getting redress this good or that he was away scot free but i will keep on seeking justice. alexander tells me he's been fighting for compensation ever since to pay for his specialist care and medical expenses so long after the original accident it's important to him to keep his case in the public eye his just finished and marathon of marathon proportions writing his life going buggy eleven thousand kilometers from his home to moscow and it's been a journey of discovery the ocean you know and i was most surprised by the decency
