living near the crippled fukushima plant it's part of a long term health monitoring program launched over three months after the nuclear crisis started and is r.t. shaun thomas reports confusion over where safe and were isn't seen many lose trust in the authorities. in a culture that is generally non-confrontational and obedient when thousands take to the streets of tokyo against nuclear energy it is a serious sign of discontent that after this crisis it is true that the people are more conscious and we need to take advantage of it this is the first time since the second world war that the japanese people have no trust in the government. a coastal city devastated by the earthquake. tsunami and on the edge of the radiation exclusion zone is starting on the long road to recovery but the people living here say the government just isn't doing enough from the. city they said different things. they said different things and the government they said different things.
12:04 am
they are not together. or. part of the country. they are a part but some believe it is too early to tell what the real dangers of the situation or scientist to know that large doses of radiation given in one blast is a significant health threat but they say there isn't enough information about long term exposure to lower doses of radiation and the types of damage it can do if you check it here. at ideation level and then you check debriefs and then you take water you always feel half different values because it's so close and it's so changing so you can hardly say but it's really exceed what a normal person would have by year one of the frightening things about this entire incident is that there are no concrete boundaries that can clearly guarantee your safety one example is this works like a beautiful lush green valley behind me but in fact this is the very head of the twenty kilometer exclusion value that the government has set up in fact we tried to
12:05 am
get a little bit closer but were escorted out by a police officer and a couple of personal now although this is supposed to be a safe area the radiation levels here are still between seven and ten times higher than normal whether from misinformation or mis understanding the people who live in the affected areas don't always take the proper precautions hero volunteer works to clean up toxic radioactive hot spots with hardly any protection at all a problem that some say is compounded by government propaganda accentuating the benefits while neglecting to inform about the dangers of nuclear waste. the first thing the government should do is let the citizens know the real cost of nuclear energy until now the priority has been to profit from energy the p.r. machine of the government has been emphasising the benefit of nuclear energy and the citizens have been brainwashed to believe it now in the wake of an international crisis and there are allegations that the government and the power companies have worked out a deal to help each other and that the media. has been born on. the t.v.
12:06 am
channels need the money from advertisement and the nuclear energy companies here a lot without this money they cannot survive and for that reason i have to shut up about the situation the newspapers have this problem as well that if true keeps the important information hidden from the people saving face for those in charge in japan showing thomas or t. and about twenty minutes we'll speak to greenpeace activists who shares his impressions about the war being carried out near the nuclear crisis epicenter. for me it was literally like visiting another universe you know way that you see life normal city and then you go with the equipment and you going to actually see that all over the sports but it's like thirty to fifty times increased. ideation and then a public places like the playgrounds the school yards out on the streets or kids go to the school that are hot spots that go even up to five hundred seven hundred times about what is normal. this is just unbelievable.

12:12 am
even israel behind the scenes in north africa the middle east as a whole will now be coming very likely to latin america so i would not be surprised to see a wave of us promoted regime change in various countries in latin america from their point of view a logical country to start with you going to do another has very close ties with iran a growing movement a very strong movement lou united states at the top level to do clear and classified in this area that has a quote unquote terrorist state apparently the global power elite operating from the united states and from britain is said on global regime change as the move i believe closer and closer to a more formal world government. well similar talk about the u.s. fostering regime change has appeared after the state department announced its new programs aimed at spreading democracy around the world is going to provide finance and technology to opposition groups but it only appears to apply to those countries which the u.s.
12:13 am
would like to see the leadership toppled argues managed account has more of the u.s. state department now generously hands out cash and technology to dissidents throughout the world its bureau of democracy human rights and labor has announced the request for proposals on how to foster change in a number of countries in the middle east and north africa as well as cuba the u.s. claims the best of intentions saying it wants to strengthen independence civil society groups in those countries it's just been really another form of provoking regime change they're just trying to do it under a different guise under a different facade saying that somehow and with the best of intentions they're promoting democracy but in reality it's just promoting us agenda among other things the state department is financing the creation of stealth wireless networks that would enable activists to communicate outside the reach of governments in countries like iran syria and libya according to participants in the projects other programs
12:14 am
include a so-called internet in a suitcase a powerful portable wireless transmitter that activists can use to set up their own networks in order to circumvent state control but at the same time american companies provide authorities in bahrain saudi arabia and kuwait with the technology to effectively block websites those double standards system everybody should be fully aware of things and understand the. us or united states government austrian regime change that's what essentially color of lucian's are. headed geo political motives. is different for every country it work. technologies not all the u.s. provides to instigate change in certain countries some opposition movements get a direct cash supply for example week it leaks cables show that the state department has for years secretly funded syrian anti-government groups it's done in
12:15 am
general to create a world that is more aligned more specifically more control will be aligned with the views of the united states without having to land troops without having to integrate i'm now looking at the state department website that promotes grants for those willing to bring about change in communist cuba and here is one of the requirements i'm going to read this it is preferable for these personnel to speak spanish fluently possess a solid understanding of the cultural context and have prior experience on the island in order to maximize their effectiveness in this unique operating environment and of quote sounds very much like recruiting agents but instead of doing it the traditional secretive way the u.s. does they're right out in the open on their website help most often comes with strings attached many say opposition leaders in libya who now get financial and
12:16 am
political support from washington are sure to get instructions on how to return the favor essentially their eight years in the system with. the u.s. government even if they don't necessarily think it's going to check on r.t.e. washington d.c. . plenty more i have for you this hour including the seeds of war the us is about to start its troop withdrawal from ghana stan will bring you expert opinion on what legacy the americans are leaving behind. a push by the russian government to raise childbirth statistics has driven lawmakers to propose a bill limiting a pregnant woman's options over abortion legislators say they want to reduce the huge number of terminate. pregnancies but critics say the measures are the wrong way to deal with a problem that has the details. when she heard she was pregnant again lena had already been through two ceasar in sections and had to kill three sons to
12:17 am
make her life complete along with her diabetes the third pregnancy was a huge risk now though she can't imagine life without her sasha there's a lot over there i look at my little miracle and i can't even imagine that once i had thought about getting rid of him i've never regretted my decision later i was able to make a choice freely had she wanted terminations nothing would have stood in her way abortion in russia is available on request up to twelve weeks and is permitted at any stage if the pregnancy puts the mother's life in danger the proposed legislation would end free abortions at state clinics and make women wait for a week before the terminations to think over their decision the morning after pill now available at any pharmacy would also become prescription only. if we managed to avert at least twenty percent of abortions annually we have a clear increase in birth rates instead of a demographic decline. that's a qualified psychologist working at one of moscow's maternity hospitals says the
12:18 am
stress of an unplanned pregnancy often makes women rush to a decision they might later regret but with the reservation my task is not to talk a woman out of abortion just sure who the alternatives so that she doesn't end up terminating herself where with questions like how old their baby would have been now and what he or she would have looked like. experts say the only way forward is to give women the security needed to embark on motherhood over found the help she was so desperate for at a moscow charity is that they will go my husband left me when i was pregnant i didn't have any means to feed the kids our ready head let alone raise another one. however opponents of the proposed legislation believe limiting a woman's choice reaches her rights both health and human my body is my business is just one of their slogans that bit about she got about history shows that being
12:19 am
abortions was never allowed to be born when the soviet union outlawed abortions in nineteen thirty six the result was an enormous increase in the maternal death rate and that's what doctors fear most that restrictions on legal abortions will only push women to find risky backstreet alternatives even if it threatens their health and life the all of those. in russia forty percent of women decide against pregnancy and if a woman is determined not to have children she won't and that includes simply abandoning them. for the mothers of these babies who found another way to escape the burdens of motherhood these children are too young to understand why they were not wanted. these children didn't choose to come into this world and be deprived of their basic right for parental love one day they might find someone to call their family over the question is whether restricting abortions will lead to more children abandoned after being born against their mothers well sorry i wish her
12:20 am
well r.t. moscow. egypt is still waiting for political and economic reform in the wake of its uprising. ousted as president but or thousands of people who live in work in a rubbish dump on the outskirts of cairo it seems change is not always welcome layer of the day will bring you a documentary on the challenges the community faces due of globalization and the arrival of foreign companies. i was just thinking about my future before the foreign companies came i dreamed of owning a can cutting factory. but we have less garbage now. some has it or so you come here and make fun of me. regular garbage boy i'm
12:21 am
not bad like people think. i'm a good person that it's just the people don't see me. but i feel it was time people like me. that i feel people will start to appreciate us. let's have a look now making news around the world and a trial is opening from ball uniform pharaoh's leaders on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity before to fans are believed to be responsible for the deaths of up to two million people during their four year rule in the nine hundred seventy s. the regime was trying to create a utopian society but people died from starvation disease and overwork last year the former khmer rouge member commer a dutch was sentenced to thirty five years in prison. carrying humanitarian aid to gaza is said to depart from greece it's reported it will consist of about ten ships
12:22 am
with some five hundred activists on board israel's government says defense forces have been ordered to stop the convoy between gaza and attempt to deliver aid to the blockaded region last year resulted in raids by israeli forces that left nine activists dead. as greece is asking for more money to bail the country out of economic crisis more voices are accusing the eurozone of failing the debate among members on whether to hand over more money is scheduled for early july but our crossed our program is already tackling the issues the reason trying to buy time though and we're still trying to buy time is to allow greece to more carefully consider what exactly it doesn't want to do because greece's resumed their lives no choice but to suggest to avoid being on the politicians faces that's the key issue here they don't want to admit that the euro has been a mistake so they're doing anything that they can to try and paper over the cracks
12:23 am
and try and hope the problem will go away you really think that you if you look a lot easier when you're like. you know you don't. want to be very injured. some u.s. officials are arguing for more leeway over the way the country's combat operations in afghanistan are carried out as despite president obama's announcement last week of plans to pull out some american troops are these military contributor uganda believes that america should be waging an anti-drug war rather than war on terror in afghanistan during his speech related to the u.s. forces or a configuration in afghanistan which was supposed to cover the old or new year's policy in dentistry. president obama has never ever mentioned
12:24 am
he's concerned or demonstrated his understandings that when it comes to ever again a stand the real threat doesn't come from that i would guide or eats associate but it has everything to do we have with narco terrorism the u.s. legacy in there again his stance will be mostly measured by the fact that it was due to the u.s. and nato occupation that ever again a stand has been turned into a narco state and local insurgency has spread out into international narco terrorism unfortunately ju clearly kolsky who is the us president drek advisor was not involved in reviewing old and formulating the new u.s. policy in afghanistan and it boils down to two pronged approach vedder's counter-narcotics strategy for afghanistan and counterterrorism for pakistan and
12:25 am
to integrate both approaches in comprehensive counter terrorism strategy. well that brings us up to date here in our business news is next with. hello and welcome to business r.t. russia's biggest lenders burbank could be in line for hefty investment from china the china investment corporation is interested in buying a five percent stake in a deal that could be worth four billion dollars however sources say the lender is unlikely to sell such a big stake to just one investor the bank is a prime asset in russia's massive privatization drive the state is going to sell its seven point six percent stake in the bank in one. move to the markets in just a few months before that will extending losses with stronger dollars and worries

about greek debt weighing on the prices dropped sharply at the end of last week following a decision by the international energy agency to release strategic reserves on the market now the move is having a direct impact on the russian market which rallies heavily on energy export relies rather however you just love this i want to get your bank says the effects are likely to be short lived i really think the effect of these measures on will prices is likely to be transitory i don't think it's going to a long term significant. i think the reason why you have. reaction from the markets is the possibility of such measures being undertaken on the possibility of them being with pete it in the future that i think is what is accounting for such a significant reaction but if things are left to that and there's no continuous sort of effort on the part of the developed world to try and raise will supply then
12:27 am
i think it's unlikely to be a significant factor in the determination of oil prices for this year and we continue to project well prices averaging one hundred seventeen point five dollars. as for. their service of all it's coming from deutsche bank the second of the current oil price and light sweet is trading at over ninety and a half dollars per barrel is dropping yet again another fifty five cents so is brant sixty seven cents down. in asia stocks are therefore under pressure and we could prove the financials are also down european debt worries world's top central banks have decided most important lenders are to carry an extra capital buffer heavyweight asia's p.c. is down more than one and a half percent in hong kong weighing on the handset. rochelle trading will begin in two hours' time the markets finished friday's session in the black both reality as

my sex put on one and a half percent with banks and really. now looking ahead to the trading with peter weston from baton believes direction is hard to predict although sentiment will probably continue to be dominated by the summer and the crisis in europe this will probably be another greek week given that at the end of the week we're going to have the voting by the greek parliament on the austerity measures and even though they might you know are likely to pass it we're still going to have the response from the population which probably not going to be that optimistic so i think that would be what's going to taint the whole week and also we're going to see whether or not going to have more trouble out of a lot of countries given that we've had a hike in lending rates that means that the cost of war has gone up for these countries so we're going to have a lot of speculation about who's going to be next so i think it directional it's going to be extremely difficult to sort of say how this was going to pan out but i think we can rest assured it could be more volatility probably low volume so any
