this is the first time since the second world war that the japanese people have no trust in the government as a country's authorities launched massive radiation checkups three months after the fall she was asked her local people are angered by the late response and a lack of transparency. germany is under pressure to lock up in a tourist nazi war criminal found a safe haven in the country over half a century ago. russia's split over proposed restrictions on abortion with some saying the move aimed at tackling demographic wine will bring pregnant women's rights and resultant war a ban on children. i don't always consider klein with the trading of ninety dollars per barrel on worries about global demand and the international energy agency preparing to launch crude more on that in twenty minutes and all business book is.
1:03 am
coming to you live from moscow i'm marina joshie the japanese government is starting radiation checkups for more than two million people living near the crippled fukushima plant that's part of a long term health monitoring program launched over three months after the nuclear crisis started and as our thomas reports confusion over where safe and where isn't it seeing manny lose trust and 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. if 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 the japanese people have no trust in the government the walky of coastal city devastated by the earthquake the 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 thirty haul city
1:04 am
they said different things not perfect they said different things and the government they said different things. they're 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 the breeze 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 exceeds 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 looks like
1:05 am
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're trying to get a little bit closer but were escorted out by a police officer and a top. now although this is supposed to be a safe area the radiation levels here are still between seven and ten times higher than normal weather for misinformation or mis understanding the people who live in the affected areas don't always take the proper precautions here a 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
1:06 am
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. channels need the money from advertisement and the nuclear energy companies 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 a move that if true keeps the important information hidden from the people saving face for those in charge in japan showing thomas. the japanese government is pushing people to get back to normal life was creating safe enough conditions for it that's the view of a greenpeace activist who's part of a team conducting an independent investigation into the fukushima health effect is interviews coming next hour but here's a quick preview. i actually find it really what a disturbing because on one hand you see the japanese are forcing people and the society to be back to normal kind of so that people do the work of kids go to the school farmers start to actually plant your fields because it's
1:07 am
a growing season and yet at the same time there are still extremely high. and the contamination of both in the soil but also potentially in the food this is three months after the accident started but the japanese these japanese are very few sexually we can hold information they don't tell people that the rules and they don't provide them with any kind of support. they call him the butcher one of the last surviving ninety s.s. officers has been convicted of war crimes but who remains at large the families of his victims think that putting him behind bars is their last chance for justice but they face a race against time in german a lot as are reports this is where the man dubbed the nazi executioner lives german media is banned from revealing his address but we know he's in. a message for the families of his victims. do you have

fostering regime change has appeared after the state department announced its new programs aimed at spreading democracy around the world it's going to provide finance and technology to opposition groups but it only appears to apply it of those countries which the u.s. would like to see the leadership toppled artist got into 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 in 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
1:14 am
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 participate in the project other programs 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 a revolution is our technology is not all the us provides to instigate change in certain countries some opposition movements get a direct cash flow. why for example we keep leaks cables show that the state
1:15 am
department has for years secretly funded syrian anti-government groups it's done in general to create a world that is more aligned more specifically more control will be aligned with the views of the united states i'm now looking at the state department website that promotes grants for those willing to bring about change in communist cuba and here's one of the requirements i'm going to read this it is preferable for these personnel to speak spanish fluently possess 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 us does their right out in the open on their website health most often comes with strings attached many say opposition leaders in libya who now get financial and

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. . we have more on washington's less subtle involvement in other countries later this hour in the u.s. is about to start its troop withdrawal from afghanistan we'll bring you expert opinion on why the 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 a pregnancy is but there is criticism that the measures will deprive women of the right to determine their own future has the details. when she heard she was pregnant again. had already been are totally serious sections and had to

healthy sons to 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 light 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 of 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 always but in the dreaded 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 yana
1:18 am
a qualified psychologist working at one of moscow's maternity hospitals says the stress of an unplanned pregnancy often makes women rush to a decision they might later regret but the wiser that you might ask is not to talk a woman out of abortion just sure who they will turn it it's so that she doesn't end up turning to herself where with questions like who are all the 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. that my husband left me when i was pregnant i didn't have any means to feed the kids al ready had let alone raise another one. however opponents of the proposed legislation believe limiting a woman's choice breaches her rights both health and human my body is my business is just one of their slogans that bit about the cynical about history shows that
1:19 am
being abortions has never wanted to be able 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 three years living 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 rights 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 harriet wish her well r.t. moscow. egypt is still waiting for political and economic reform in the wake of its uprising which saw hosni mubarak ousted as president but for thousands of people who live and work in a rubbish dump on the outskirts of cairo it seems change is not always welcome in ten minutes we'll bring you a documentary on the challenges the community faces due to 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 visitors who come here make fun of me. picking up garbage boy i'm
1:21 am
not bad like people saying. i'm a good person. it's just that people don't see me. but i feel it was time people like me. i feel people will start to appreciate us. let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world a trial is open in cambodia a former khmer rouge leaders on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity the for the fans are believed to be responsible for the deaths of up to two million people during their four year rule and that ending seventies the regime was trying to create a utopian society but people died from servatius disease and overwork last year the former khmer rouge member of calmer dutch was sentenced to thirty five years in prison. after tiller carrying humanitarian aid to gaza said to depart from greece
1:22 am
it's reported it will consist of about ten ships with some five hundred activists on board israel's government has ordered the fans forces to stop the convoy reaching gaza and urge foreign journalists not to go on board at a time to deliver aid to the blockaded region last year resulted in a raid by israeli forces that left now i 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 e.u. members on whether to hand over more money is scheduled for early july but our crossed off program is already tackling the issues. that we're 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 and those are both choices to suggest to avoid egg 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 over the cracks and
1:23 am
try and hope the problem will go away i think that you if you look a lot easier when you're larry as you know you don't want to. do what you want to be very injured. and some u.s. officials are arguing for more leeway over the way the country's combat operations in afghanistan are carried out is this by president obama's announcement last week of plans to pull out some american troops are his military contributor uganda believes that america should be waging an anti drug war rather than a war on terror in afghanistan. during his speech related to the u.s. forces record figuration in afghanistan which was supposed to cover the old or new
1:24 am
year's policy in afghanistan. president obama has never ever mentioned he's concerned or demonstrated his understanding that when it comes to afghanistan the real threat doesn't come from the i guide or its associate but it has everything to do we have narco terrorism the us legacy in afghanistan will be mostly measured by the fact that it was due to the us and nato occupation that ever again a stand has been turned into narco state and the local insurgency has spread into international narco terrorism unfortunately jill carroll we call ski who is the us president dr good visor was not involved in the reviewing of the old and formulating the new us policy in afghanistan and it boils down
1:25 am
to two pronged approach that is counter-narcotics strategy for afghanistan and counterterrorism for pakistan and to integrate both approaches in comprehensive counter narco terrorism strategy. all brings us up today here in our business news is next with me. welcome to business russia's biggest lenders burbank could be in line for a hefty investment from china and chinese investment corporation is interested in
1:26 am
buying a five percent stake in the bank and if you are that could be worth. however sources say the lender is unlikely to sells it to big stakes or just want to invest as burbank is a prime asset and russia's massive privatization program state is going to sell a seven point six percent stake in the bank. where it was extending losses with a stronger dollar and worries about greek debt weighing on the price it dropped sharply at the end of last week following a decision by the international energy agency to release strategic reserves on to the market the move is having a direct impact on the russian market which relies heavily on energy exports however give us love for someone to do it your bank says the effects are not 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 been a long term significant and. i think the reason why we have. reaction from the
1:27 am
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 i think it. likely to be a significant factor in the determination of oil prices for this year and we continue to project world prices averaging one hundred seventeen point five dollars or barrel. to the markets and take a look at the current oil price and yes it's still the climbing light sweet is trading at just over ninety dollars per barrel brant is below one hundred and four this is also on worries about the state of the global economy and demand in asia
1:28 am
energy stocks are therefore under pressure on the week a crude financials also down european debt worries world's top central banks of the side of most important lenders should carry an extra capital buffer heavyweight a just b. c. is down more than one and a half percent in hong kong. here in russia the markets will start trading in one hours time which is seeing is friday's close in picture of the r.t.s. m i six put on one and a half percent in gangs led by banks burbank gained around three percent. looking ahead to the trading week peter weston from our tom believes directions hard to predict although sentiment will probably continue to be dominated by the sovereign debt 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 like to pass it we're still going to have the response from the population which we're not going to 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 support has gone up for these countries
1:29 am
so we're going to have not speculation about who's going to list so i think 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 upside that you're seeing is going to be a low conviction upside like to roll over it's a very difficult market to play right now. coming up next i'll see the headlines with marina to stay with us for that.
1:30 am
