boss of inside the hotel. i would print certainly. in touch with her tell me touch your picture a good girl how would international floods achieve every day till. away from reactor number one. radiation levels are much higher then. coming up we have all the details. to. strike to libya's north west while colonel gadhafi uses a high profile chess game to reiterate his reluctance to leave the country plus. does this new media hype over the scandalous case of an american tweeting a racy pictures of himself as. the u.s. is letting overshadow the real news.

it is just after two pm here in moscow you with. now radioactive material has been detected in seawater around japan's fukushima plant with concentration levels two hundred and forty times higher than safety limits scientists warn the element strong to you is highly dangerous to humans as a kind of cumulating bones and possibly course concept. has been to fukushima city to measure the radiation levels that. eighty kilometers away and the radiation levels in this area in many many places in many instances are much. closer because if you look at a map of where fukushima city is in relation to the actual nuclear facility that

plant number one where a lot of that radiation. but eating from the winds are bringing that radiation into shima city and the rain and wind is blowing the radiation in this direction so we were at a spot where the radiation levels were one thousand times what is considered to be a safe dosage so. very very dangerous levels and so scientists so that we're 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 working could be contaminated soil right now. and as you can see these two gentlemen are wearing any protective clothing but the scientists are so one of the concerns is that if you can actually have one spot which it's only thirty times the accepted normal levels and then you go to another spot which is just

a meter away and it can jump to five hundred to a thousand times depending on where rainwater and mud have collected one of the concerns of course is that grass is can. filter for nuclear ready at the material and are drawn to grassy places when they go into those areas they could actually be absorbing more radiation from the grass as 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 see whether it should be considered evacuation or at least within the city should be evacuated because of very very high micro places. if you will where the radiation is just off the charts. i think the fukushima nuclear crisis has also sent shock waves through the world's motor industry as rumors cause potential bias to lose faith in japanese cars and suggest that contaminated vehicles are

finding their way into the european market and it's not just he has the story. oh has been contemplating a change of heart core for months a fan of japanese vehicles she wanted to upgrade her off roader to when you were model but her car dealing friend said it was not the right time but those can also you know i was told privately that all new japanese cars are radioactive because of the fukushima disaster the shipment was supposedly blocked by the authorities expert there so hard but unofficial dealers bribed them and got those cars on to the streets officials at the poor left of our question whether there had been any contaminates of course here after the japanese fallout these off roaders worship in before the disaster in japan and even they were checked for radiation or authorities claim there's absolutely no chance of contaminated we both making their

way onto the cranium territory is that reason cars arrived to us transiting through greek and turkish ports if anything was wrong it would have been spotted there in the first place which was to double check all vehicles for meaning by logical threat. however ecologists say these checks may not be enough to determine radiation growing is a radioactive particles are very small and can disperse all round of the they can be found in fields just radiators inside small parts that's why it's very difficult to detect them with a regular guy get cancer is the disposal of the customs units experts say the sale of contaminated steel is not something new for ukraine these shorts were filmed inside the chernobyl exclusion zone several years ago scavengers stealing contaminated radiators from the girls town of one costs around twenty dollars on the black market towns 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 long diseases and even cancer so use the temptation to buy a new japanese car is too hard to resist experts advise turning to professionals to check whether it is safe let's see russians to see reporting from a just and in ukraine. well alexi has been reporting from the site considered to be the world's worst nuclear disaster but many fear that the meltdown of fukushima could actually take its place. once prosperous gets if you. were power plant to see how it looks today. special report from the disasters twenty fifth anniversary of course it's available on web site. just look for it in the documentary such. thousands of people on the streets of athens in protest against the second round of austerity measures debated in the greek parliament people don't want. cuts but

without them the country will not receive any international bailout money. there's enough. spare you can see how many people. in the. building. say that the government anything by. a lot of tension on the street from the. people simply think that way i think that might be the case. we'll have. it. money

this. week. i still think. that twenty four year old what he's begun to some of the younger people here. i think. we should. but there are people of good doesn't have to do anything. but they can be game and that's why we came here to tell them that they are incapable of saving us and we want to go away make our lessons now into. a new government that will sell cars and people including. that way right. right.

right thing you can. continue to track the developments in greece for you can check out her twitter feed right here on your screen at the moment in her latest tweet she says the protesters are chanting our demands for food jobs justice and freedom. on the school come for a first time impression fueling it. is. nearly ten minutes past the hour here in moscow without the police in the u.s.

closed down investigation into the so-called sexting case that's dominated national headlines for over two weeks now. a young woman with a racy photo of himself since then the story has overshadowed world news with some of media putting its head of the war in libya and the rage and violence in syria. which account now looks at where priorities lie in the american media play doesn't know if the american media can't get enough of anthony weiner's crotch shot by the mayor it's us congressman who sent this nude photo to a young woman via twitter and the story made it perfectly sexy endorsing the shameless cover up this is a twitter hoax a prank that was done i'm the victim of this poor girls the victim of a subsequent embarrassing fashion last friday night i tweeted a photograph of myself that i intended to send as a direct message as part of a joke to a woman in seattle once i realize i posted to twitter i panicked i took it down and

said that i had been hacked and of course that tearful apology and deeply sorry for the pain this is caused by whites. and our family it seemed as any we are seeing this question overshadowed all other news in america when or when or if we are the winner is this new we dated for a few months like almost ten years ago to the right point even comedians for whom the congressman's heart sure does become a bottomless source of inspiration it's cracked in american history you can be. sure. your stories. have been blocked by this recent scandal on a more serious note many people think the only way to get ratings this is to constantly churn and cover these types of will sylvia's stories that really don't have any bearing on people's lives whether or not it's a private issue that has affected nobody for holding the media pressure is so high

that it has become a trend in america to make equal personal apologies on camera and everybody who has been hurt. you know the. same goes for celebrities like tiger woods extramarital affairs make headlines for months i am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior i engaged in the apologies seem to kill the gossip industry even more when politicians stage and i do use this word staged these apology kind of. they are very likely responding to their public relations. visors their lawyers etc etc i mean and the networks american media companies love it because they get it generates even more scandal american television thoughts and don't take charlie sheen lead seal or hand with their analyst trials courts and. the leaks these

endless and all these handles have to do with private matters bill they knew seem partly to such an extent that many hats either got sick as were placed in america i'm going to check out reporting from washington r.t. . still to come on the program here on r t c is ready sentiment gathers steam in europe after just skimming authorities a ban on imports of products from the occupied palestinian territories. plus with a car crash victim who made a heroic wheelchair journey from the far east to moscow all of this in a bid to draw attention to the daily challenges faced by qusay. colonel gadhafi has said that he will not leave libya despite mounting pressure and use a chess game against the visiting the president of the world chess federation so reinforce his defiance meanwhile nato made its move announcing plans to expand military

strikes in libya and hit cafe forces in the northwestern part of the country there were reports that rebels seems to the city of as are we are just thirty kilometers from the capital tripoli and those claims were later denied by the get go u.s. radio host and peace activist ralph schoenman says that the west has hijacked the libyan uprising to its own interests. the united states is spending two million dollars a day and a billion and a half dollars has just been handed to these so-called rebels usually the leadership of these rebels. his cars a twenty year operative of the central intelligence agency and cia and they say yes hijack this out rising initially against gadhafi 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 season twenty four point two billion barrels of oil reserves

that's what the objective business of the sixth imperial war that obama is waging in the region and it is the genocidal war in all its features target is the population at large not merely because off the region. well meantime in syria president assad's forces have reportedly taken over the rebel held town of qusayr al sure meanwhile pressure is mounting on syria with britain and france pushing for a draft u.n. resolution but russia and china who oppose any attempts to intervene in the syrian conflict have said they will not back the move however arab world observer adrian subject only to the west is using when you went to benefit from the country's civil case. 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 i thought it was through all this to sort of also france or in other countries in the european union because just as they are

considering cracking down on the syrian government they have not considered cracking down on the governments of barry or other or each of their point in time when there was also and for all stories what is happening in syria is simultaneously in almost all countries in the middle east and in north africa. we flexed internal problems all countries have internal problems not know 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. well here of russia and the us could all become safer places if nato ceased to exist so says r.t. his military contributor in the wake of the u.s. defense secretary said recent bleak assessment of the alliance's future is a sampling of the latest video find it online at. if european nato

allies wore expecting their farwell hugging and kissing from the departing u.s. secretary of defense robert gates they should have known better instead he delivered point blank parting shot at all year opinion nato allies it was probably 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 a blanket on its european partners as far as afghanistan and libya is concerned indeed robert gates had a point first time to raise the issue about their reliability over the nato alliance as soon as he assumed he was toast four years ago when he was surprised that there are a caress in brussels when they seem cold them on capable to be on a par with the united states forces regarding their counterinsurgency skill and

experience if anything and that's why i ordered gates was probably too polite so gates to close that final chapter through the long overdue for a role for nato association that could be one of the most significant imprint on the new security architecture for the united states and europe and russia. with r.t. live from moscow and all the latest news features and analysis all lined up for you of course our website and let's have a look at some of the things working for you now. is being laid to rest in moscow after he was shot last week to r.t. dot com to find out more about the controversy surrounding that describes colonel all the coverage along with expert opinion is available online right now plus. an american. ship has sailed into the black sea it's ready for war games with the

ukrainian navy and russia says its presence close to the country's southern border threatens our national security. by locking onto our car. twenty minutes past the hour now here in the russian capital there's growing and see israeli sentiment in europe with calls on e.u. and us governments to stop ignoring the occupation of palestinian land and although politicians remain silent activists rallied to draw attention to the plight of the palestinian people. a day of rage against israel thousands called for the boycott of his really good over its continued expansion of. the jewish demonstrator says enough is enough.

american leaders do nothing that the e.u. does nothing the repeated un resolutions have ruled israeli settlements illegal. activists want the european union to call the main exports of the occupied territories and fruits they full of human barricades it's a use a ploy depose still get seen through. israel's carmel brand market settlement produce and pockets to profit but my. forces can move in there citizens are committing war crimes under the geneva convention public pressure is bearing fruit italy's biggest grosser co-op's food grown in the occupied territories the world's largest security firm g four s. has stopped work with these really checkpoints on the west bank admitting it breached human rights shareholders forced pilgrims dicksee a bank to sell its israel over

a million euro loans to settlements activists next target is the. links between certain months and jerusalem e.u. transport giant veolia protesters are also seeking to file charges on the international law against israel over its construction of settlements thirty's or investigating codes and police will pass these complaints on to the courts judges not rule if firms who buy food from palestinian land are complicit in war crimes irish m.e.p. paul murphy will join calls the flu tiller the biggest yet so brazen awareness of the situation knowing activists were killed by israeli commandos when 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 don't kill this time as they were last time by the israeli military forces. that it

brings the world's attention to this if you move say experts force politicians and business to act to public opinion change their mind before they were thinking that israel was addressed by the. real capacity to challenge. the european station and un and also. the last time such a campaign was mobilized internationally was against the south african apartheid regime israel may have powerful allies its position in europe to its policies is growing to the new bush or r t brussels. well israel's blockade of gaza is not only damaging to the area but israel itself so says the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs exclusive interview with baroness catherine ashton is coming your way in just under ten minutes time but first here's

a quick. we're very consistent in saying what needs to happen is that it's ready to open the borders with gulzar and the love of people and goods to be free and now i recognize the importance of the security situation for israel we've always done it but it seems to me a position that's not tenable where you have the inability to get the economy moving 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 goals are lots of small businesses you know that could really do well lots of people who want jobs eighty percent of people in gaza today 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 not means allowing in. the products the goods were girls that could actually sell and support in some economy.

that exclusive interview is coming your way shortly let's check out some other headlines now from around the world and update for you this hour clashes have erupted turkey following recent parliamentary elections thousands of supporters of the pro kurdish party which won just six percent of the votes clashed with police officers forty dispersed started throwing protesters fifty percent of the votes went to a ruling prime minister over the one whose party still failed to gain the parliamentary majority required to ensure a constitutional change. some flights have resumed in australia after earlier destructions from an ash plume left about fifty thousand passengers stranded fears remained at the volcanic ash can severely damage aircraft engines the chilean eruption happened over a week ago and has forced air traffic in several south american countries to come to a standstill. nature's beauty and its dangers all being explored in our special report

here at r.t. so maybe looking to the enormous power of an avalanche is a taste of what's coming your way later in the day here on arts. stream cascading from mountain slopes the view is miss milroy see. this beauty brings deaths of more than two hundred kilometers to. the stand to launch an on. coming to life from moscow that despite being confined to a wheelchair for over ten years one russian hero hasn't let that hold him back he's cut and left on thousand kilometers right across russia with an electric buggy to draw attention to the plight of the stable people. pushed over but the man a person. alexander's top speed is not much more than walking pace it's been more than a decade since the accident which brought him in

a wheelchair driving the other car was america's consul general invalid of us dog eligible a drunk and that's where 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 world 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 ingenuity and i was most surprised by the decency and generosity of our people i never expected such help just imagine every set of

stairs demands for people to get me up that you. despite all the obstacles here the way to the heart of yourself many people along the way asked to go to the kremlin and tell them how they live but alexander is not the complete inclined to strongly believes that no matter what the odds everyone's destiny is in their own hands the beagle he's met have certainly heard his call but it's the people in power in washington who really need to listen and act very posh go back r.t. australia. or back out with the headlines after a short break here without. for

the full scope we've got it for. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers on the party. culture is that so much now is about feeling good i think a commitment to give a real commitment to morris fields or was he a great man who made history or was he merely a product of his time opinions differ widely don't know engine. us or stand shoulder greed and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of the regimentation over most of the nations that we are. and the shadow is approaching a hole. in the early twenty first century
