reach twenty five percent and this is a chaotic situation and the only responsible for this situation is the international monetary fund the minister of finance this government has failed. the czech republic announced this week it will pull out of the us missile defense project out of frustration at its diminished role in the system they original plan included stationing a raid a facility in the czech republic to counter potential threats from iraq and north korea but the bush era proposals were scrapped by president obama's administration leaving the tracks only with its simple elliot warning system the project is facing stiff opposition from russia which considers it threats to its national security and one of the outspoken critics of the project is activist yan thomas says such a system would only fuel global tension. check people don't want such a thing here in this country we feel that this will actually undermine the security of both the czech republic and europe as a continent and so we think that it's completely contradictory to play such and
6:09 pm
such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world super powers like china like india or the following or super powers that will be the biggest world economies in the in the following few years is really going to make a lot of tensions on the global scale and so it should be wise and just start thinking about building a security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big superpowers not just some. and modernised economy of corruption is one of the top priorities in president medvedev to do list in which he outlined russia's direction in st petersburg this week an international economic forum or staged to breathe new life into the country's investment climate and attracted some of the walls business and political heavyweights counties and he said now it sounds out they showcase highlights. modernisation based on stifling corruption dees centralizing power and

6:12 pm

despite all the imagine say if it's the risk of a major nuclear spill remains very very old. and new leaks of any kind are going to be an incredible burden on the efforts that are already on underway to try to clean up the water or decontaminated because they are now running out of space to actually store the contaminated water in the fukushima in the immediate vicinity of the plant and i believe within two weeks they're actually going to run out of space so they're trying to get a system on line for treating the water but apparently the test for that is going to be pushed back another few days it's already been pushed back from last friday there is no such thing as a safe level of radiation exposure that any level of radiation exposure increases the risk of cancer and however negligible that risk may be with any particular person on any particular date any particular spot when it's averaged out over a large population like is living in the fukushima region unfortunately means there
