feel. the soviet files. this is the first time since the second world war the japanese people of north trust in the government. as a countries authorities launch massive radiation checkups three months after the fukushima disaster local people are angered by the late response and the lack of transparency. germany is under pressure to walk up and authorise nazi war criminals who found a safe haven in the country over half a century ago. and russia split over a proposed restrictions on abortion with some saying the move aimed at tackling demographic the client will breach pregnant women's rights and result in war a ban on children.

radiation exclusion zone is starting on the long road to recovery but the people living here see the government just isn't doing enough from the city hall like iraq city they said different things like perfect or they said different things and the government they said different things. they're not together the are all still part of the country last year they are apart but some believe it is too early to tell what the real dangers of the situation or scientists who 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 or your radiation level and then you should get breeze in when you take water you always will have different values because it's so close and so changing so you can hardly say but it's really exceed what

by the russian governments 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 terminated pregnancies but there is criticism doubt the measures will deprive women of the right to determine their own future which color has the details. when she heard she was pregnant again and the other had already been through two center in sections and had to kill three sons to make her life complete along with her diabetes this pregnancy was a huge risk now though she can't imagine life without her sasha this. little miracle come to. imagine that once i had thought about it in real i've never regretted my decision when i was able to make a choice freely had she wanted a terminations and 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
2:16 am
pregnancy would so mothers life in danger the proposed legislation would end three abortions in state clinics and make women weak 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 it's about all there was better than for that if we managed to avert at least twenty percent of abortions annually we have a clear increase in birth rates instead of a demographic a client with. 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 words are better my task is not to talk a woman out of abortion just shareholder alternatives so it she doesn't end up committing herself where with questions like oh all the baby would have been out 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 olga found the help she was

for more money to bail the country out of economic crisis more voices are accusing the euro zone of failing the debate on the e.u. members on whether to hand over more money scheduled for early july but our cross stop program is already tackling the issues. the reason we're trying to buy time now and we're still trying to buy time is to allow greece to more turf and consider what exactly it doesn't want to do because greece's resumed their lives and those are both my choice 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 and try and hope the problem will go away you really think that you imply you are becoming really easy here as when the euro was there you know you don't. want to be very injured. and.

sam you asked officials are arguing for more leeway over how the country's combat operations in afghanistan are carried out it's despite president obama's announcement last week of plans to pull out some american troops are his military contributor you get english i believe that america should be waging an anti-drug war rather than a war on terror and afghanistan during a speech related to the u.s. forces or a configuration of ghana's stand before supposed to cover the old or new years policy you know again it's. 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 crowd or it's associate but it has everything to do we have narco terrorism the u.s.
2:23 am
legacy in afghanistan will be mostly measured by the fact that it was due to the u.s. and nato occupation evgeny a stand has been turned into narco state and the local insurgency has spread out into international america terrorism unfortunately john kerry called sixteen us president dr visor was not involved in reviewing the old and formulating the new us policy in afghanistan and it boils down to two pronged approach there is counter-narcotics strategy for afghanistan and counterterrorism for pakistan and to integrate both approaches in comprehensive counter terrorism strategy. now back to be here in our headlines in just a few moments meanwhile we're joined by dmitri is here with the latest business

extending losses with a stronger dollar and worries about global demand dropped sharply at the end of last week following a decision by the international energy agency to release strategic reserves on the markets the move is having a direct impact on the russian market which relies heavily on energy exports however you know something somebody could or should bank says the effects are likely to be short lived. i really think the effect of these measures will prices is. transitory i don't think it's going to have a long term significant that. i think the reason why you do have an emphatic reaction from the markets is the possibility of such measures being undertaken and 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 is no continue was sort of effort on the part of the developed world to try and raise will supply i

a look at what peter weston from out on has to say about the upcoming week he believes the reaction is 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 there 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 the company given that we've had a hike in lending rates that means that the support 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 week is going to pan out but i think we can rest assured can be more volatility probably low volume so any upside that you seeing is going to be
