a higher form peaceful solution of this crisis with both sides saying they are ready for negotiations with the knees are now ready to provide an appropriate location for tolls puts people actually through extremely exhausted after months of devastating war which has already taken many many lives and has actually completely destroyed the country's infrastructure. well as civilian deaths in the grow and amounts among the taxpayers footing the bill for the military intervention the conflict is expected to cost one of its key players the u.k. hundreds of millions of pounds in the south seas there and it reports the blame to britain's budget couldn't have come at a worse time. they're already calling it the billion pound war it's calculated that if the war in libya goes on for six months it will cost the british taxpayer one point six billion dollars but that initial humanitarian

mission is now get rid of gadhafi operation and that could take a lot longer assuming that their goal is to simply oust him from power one imagines this is not going to end until he. leaves office so this could potentially drag on for months more and as we've seen they've already extended the operation by another three months that's unlikely to be popular with the british public that's watching government spending like a hawk already fearing seeing services job slashed even so downing street swore it is open and it's taking the lead in libya data gathered by britain's guardian newspaper from defense ministries and news reports shows that britain has flown twenty five percent of all sources in libya second only to the u.s. by the second week of may six thousand strike missions had been ordered blogger daniel rennick says the u.k.'s likely to have weighed up the cost but with a warm wind blowing westwards from libyan rebels and us movements britain reckons

a billion pounds is a pretty good investment it's about having control of north african resources particularly the areas. where we made for the transitional council that seems to be very clear some bombs cost up to one and a half million dollars each and with the u.k. cutting defense spending analysts say they may not be replaced and when you're dealing with such big numbers small things make a big difference the typhoon cost maybe one hundred thousand pounds per hour to fly so small changes in the number of hours you estimate produced big changes in cost estimate for the upper end. wars are always expensive but the costs back home. could prove harder to afford next in line to strike a million public sector workers who are being asked to work more and get less the disruption to services could run in two weeks the commitment to continue in libya for however low suggests a blank check at

a time when there is little in the kitty the deployment of apache helicopters doesn't appear to have given nato the tactical advantage it hoped for and every time a plane takes to the sky or drops a bomb the cost for britain and its beleaguered european neighbors create higher and higher your avatar to be. guessed whether an international presence. is the start of another way. lot of things have gotten better in the past ten years you've seen inflation has come down average incomes have gone up the world bank did recently they're talking about a rise in the number of people who are earning between two and four dollars a day as for the world bank and their apologists who talk about you know the middle classes beginning with two dollars a day a pound a day have you tried living in nairobi on a pound

a day these guys so if they think this is the middle class is there must be really be on some other planet i'm afraid. the japanese nuclear crisis is expected to dominate talks at a nuclear security forum in vienna on monday the atomic energy watchdog is due to present a full report on conditions in the earthquake and tsunami hit country their view is expected to criticize japan for underestimating risks facing the fukushima plant and for slow government response to the disaster sean thomas reports now from some worst affected areas. the armis and constant ticking of geiger counters scientists working in fukushima city concerned. i'm in charge of the group of radiation detection and survey from fukushima university where now thinking very protocol and process set up by the japanese government is not enough and myself i

think i should evacuate from this area but because of my job at the university i can't my family and my friends family. officially fukushima city is in a safe area eighty kilometers from the day to plant reactor one in a full sixty kilometers outside the banda danger zone but still radiation levels here are much higher than normal. just to give you an idea of the consistency right now the ground is really pretty quiet tonight micro records about thirty times what is more than the accepted level but if you come down here to where i just saw it all and a lot of it collected the radiation will quickly jumped out but it still climbing earlier we got a really good night and now i look at my career which is about a thousand times more than what is really accepted level of really going. but in order to claim that fukushima is truly safe from leaking radiation the japanese government has had to be creative with the numbers but the government did they

change the quantum level standard the levels from one. to twenty million per year to twenty times. the standards before the accident and now. they raise the. standard so that they can say it's safe but actually the standard house changed the new higher levels mean that fukushima can be classed as being outside of the exclusion zone some say that evacuating the city would be simply impractical given the huge numbers of people affected to try and mitigate the circumstances to some degree a group of scientists have teamed up to find a simple ways to reduce the radiation levels. we're just trying to do. project. contamination. by ourselves and we are not to using especially when we just use normal. scoops.

we just. a small effort to bring some security to a community facing a scary and uncertain future in fukushima city sean thomas r.t. . well despite concerns over japan's government hosking up the danger is the number two neatly official in the country thinks the issue is simply too complicated for the general public for the exclusive interview with japan's nuclear industry spokesman's coming your way later this hour. think eighty percent. is known by the government and tepco we published we have been publishing all the information we get but. it may be difficult for the ordinary people to understand so i. make.

the score. for the ordinary people. say. seventy percent. every president wants to run for a second term but a lot of the station rests with the people that's according to russian president dmitri maybe get it in an interview with the financial times he said it's too early to say if he will stand for reelection next year the basic clear that he and mr putin won't run against each other party's cutting services will. recently the question russian president to be there with a bit of gets asked the most is of course the one about his potential participation in the twenty four presidential elections but keeping true to his style russian president maintain the entry but is a do or a new leader especially one who walk upon as the president's seat has to be willing to run for reelection however it's not a question of whether he would make that decision for himself i suggest waiting a bit longer than keeping the intrigue you do you think that you're involved in

approaching could run for presidency at the same time because if you. it's hard for me to imagine the mere putin and i both running for president of the same time for at least one reason to think we strictly speaking represent the same political force competition between us would bring harm to the goals and tasks we've been working on for the past several years it wouldn't be good for russia and i wouldn't be good in this particular situation. russia's president saying that one of the things that he took with him into his political career from his a legal background is to respect the verdict of a court no political party has the right to use a particular sentence to their advantage which is of course what he believes is happening with the case of the filth that is of course in prison currently serving out his second prison and the president however said that you reiterate his belief that his release would not in any way be a threat to society and the as

a citizen of this country because of that of course he has the right to file an appeal which according to the defense side is what he's going to do speaking on libya russian president with a bit of criticizing quite strongly what is happening in libya right now with the nato military intervention that is why of course russia will not sign any resolution pertaining to syria speaking further up syria the russian president said that he understands the syrian. the difficult position. but on the other hand hopes that bloodshed more bloodshed will be avoided that president assad will manage to apply forward and push through those reforms that. and of course the russian president also spoke at length about his american partner saying that he believes barack obama is a very good president not only in terms of for the united states but also for the international community speaking frankly me to decide that for him personally of

course if obama does choose to run for office again and wins the election in twenty twelve for him that would be the best case scenario. for the full version of things if you can visit our web sites of the cold. shock waves from the economic crisis in greece being felt in other countries across the e.u. in britain nervous banks holding back tens of billions of euros from the lending market the former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament claims intended to help europe struggling economies is instead by the wealthy. crises like these are considered big opportunities by big financial institutions it was find a vast and it is so today where is the money gone well i think you don't have to look far the money has gone to financial institution to wealthy elites who are actually benefiting from discretions bailouts what kind of bailout true for what

purpose that is the question and the bears that we had so far was look we give you all these taxpayer money without any conditions so you can keep on going doing what you did that is not the kind of bailout that i see what all the social achievements of the last thirty years are put in jeopardy by these financial so-called financial reforms and defeating is this is a question about what is democracy and what is the moxie for i think the mocks for the people not for financial institution it's as simple as that. now some other headlines were in spain protests against europe along to bankers and the people continue tens of thousands have marched through the streets of madrid and other major sprouter cities in a rally against us there are two measures social spending cuts and massive unemployment the economic crisis in the country is that more than a million farmers without in can lead to youth unemployment nearing fifty percent on monday groups all over spain will start

president obama's plans to withdraw from afghanistan next month some in washington predict troops will stay longer than planned with the latest expression from the chairman of the joint chiefs of staffs and station faces a tough challenge to keep election promises says artie's a major contributor to this latest video blog. time is ticking for the u.s. president to come up with their final solution aas far as the strategy review for afghanistan is concerned if a bomber wants to avoid paying more for doing this seem and counting on the diminishing returns from afghanistan he has to admit that cognitive dissonance between the u s military and civilian force concentrated in afghanistan on the one side and on the other qaida taliban during the latest farewell conference for us secretary of state robert gates admiral mullen

a variant strain of pneumonia doctors say had been hospitalized earlier she could have had a chance of survival however usses mother julia hesitated too long and she's now facing criminal charges for negligence as. you have to understand but did want to avoid unnecessary medical intrusion which we are not in a cult we care about our children's health and want only the best for them this is julia's heartrending response in a t.v. show called let them talk on russia's first channel. which i see was the love of my life shows through losing her is the worst possible punishment other into my lessons to god as my listeners what happened was the scariest thing in my life in the programme she was hounded as an irresponsible mother who watched her daughter die online after her desperate post asking for help on the internet reached the

wider public living. julia's tragic story is just one among those who chose to give birth at home and resort to self treatment rather than trust official health care they may be a fraction of russian society but then number is increasing and doctors are alone but. they're usually three reasons behind a woman's choice first is when a mother falls under the influence of an alternative group that makes business out of it delivering babies without a license the second group are those who prefer everything natural as it was before hospitals and the third is the most unpleasant for us when a patient has a bad experience connected to a medical establishment. stories of medical maltreatment or even worse continue appearing in the russian media and unplanned amputation of a baby's limb and an alleged. swop of a woman's health a new born for a disabled one are among the most recent cases those dark stories often have another side to them but they're scary enough to make young women dread any

hospitals drugs and doctors. people who are afraid of clinical medicine have their reasons for that they're afraid of the complications they might get in maternity wards of unnecessary medical intrusion was quite a large number of deaths and crippled lives. so veronica believed her mother when she told her doctors might harm her and her baby the idea of natural delivery at home sounded very convincing to me until my son and i nearly died in the birth i'm like neither of us ended up in a grave the radhika is one of those who opted for home both with insistence of only a midwife a practice that is unregulated in russia and skates on legal thin ice making it open to abuse the running because midwives barely had any relevant training but dick the money and never asked if the baby survived. despite the controversy of the home birth everyone agrees that in today's russia if you want to minimize the risk

giving birth in hospital is the answer but with mothers wanting more choice the system as it currently stands could do with a rethink after all it is these little people and their health that matters most and their arrival. should be happy that. their. stay with us all the business news is next now would you. found a very warm welcome to the business update. to has made many countries turn to nuclear energy sources including natural gas such as a political spoke to the executive director of the international energy agency about the future of global gas demand and russia's role in it currently about three point one trillion cubic meters of production willing crees about five point one

trillion means more almost fifty percent increase will happen through truth out of forty five can renewable sources of energy make an impact renewable energy is feasible picnic but probably very cool street and also because the cost increase because of the smart grid because it's a very volatile nature forces so all you need more backup maybe gas or coal and also you have to manage very carefully the grief itself how do you see global demand for energy changing demand willing coming out because the seasonal change in the refineries the refineries coming back from menton and so the demand will increase to the stop water to the some up to date that we think opec will produce more if it's not fast enough suddenly the market is getting tighter and that is something detriment for the economy recovery of the developed countries and

also this problem is much heavier to the developing economies in africa india or china to avoid the very hard landing scenario in the global economy so often it's a production increase in easing the market. is very important and it's a common interest of producer and consumer countries. now take a look at how the market's up of forming courage is extending losses are strong the dollar is dampening is infested to feel the brand just traded at one hundred twelve dollars a barrel while the is below ninety three dollars per barrel oil most six percent last week as greek debt crisis raised concerns about energy demand and in asia stocks are trading on the positive note the latest report from your fuel hopes the region is moving closer to cope with its debt problems the market has welcomed the

planes in the last year was sold almost one hundred new airplanes over here but not less important maybe for me personally more important that russia is a really great supply for boeing we talked about the intellectual services we buy and we buy technology as we develop technologies together with russian scientists we bought and developed there were sophisticated i t. and this is hundreds of millions of dollars that we boeing buy from russia in the sector that i think is critical for the survival of russian the corner me. so the business will now be back with more business news in about one also time.
