this is the first time since the second world war the japanese people have nor trust in the government. as a country as authorities launch massive radiation checkups three months after the fukushima disaster a 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 who found a safe haven in the country over half a century ago. russia's split over a proposed restrictions on abortion with some say the move aimed at tackling demographic the quiet will breach pregnant women's rights and result in war abandoned children. and the kremlin crime of russia's business says that the

relations got to the investment for me here in moscow joined business tsotsi in twenty minutes for a live report for me of. watching live he coming to live from moscow eleven am here on marina joshing welcome to the program the japanese government is starting radiation checkups for more than two million people living near the crippled fukushima plant as part of a long term health monitoring program launched over three months after the nuclear crisis started and as our teams sean thomas reports confusion over where safe and where isn't is seen mary 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 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 he was a coastal city devastated by the earthquake the tsunami and on the edge of the radiation exclusion zone which is starting on the long road to recovery of the people living here say the government just isn't doing enough from the city hall york city they said different things like perfect are they said different things and the government is a different thing if. they're not together the are all still part of the country last year they are a part but some believe it is too early to tell what the real dangers of the situation or scientists and 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 your hear or read your ideas level and then you could debriefs it when you take water you always feel have different values because it's so close and 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 looks like a beautiful rush green valley behind me but in fact this is the very area of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone that the government has set up in fact we're trying to get a little bit closer but we're scored it out by a police officer and a typo or further up 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 me. understanding but 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 that 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 a 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 bought off t.v. channels need the money from advertisement and the nuclear energy companies pay a lot with his money they cannot survive for that reason they have to shut out of the situation the newspapers have this problem as well that if true keeps the important information hidden from the people saving face it for those in charge in japan shun thomas or teehee. now the japanese government is pushing people to get

back to normal life without creating safe enough conditions for it and that's the view of a greenpeace activist was part of a team conducting an independent investigation into the ocean health affects his interview coming up next hour but here's a quick preview. it personally what a disturbing because on one hand you see the japanese are forcing people and the society to be back to normal. to work again kids go to schools farmers start to actually be good for yachts because it's a growing season and yet at the same time there are still extremely high levels of radiation and the contamination of both in the soil but also about ensuring the food this is three months after the accident started not the japanese these japanese are you sexually we call information they don't tell people the rules and they don't provide them with any kind of support.

they call him the butcher or one of the last surviving largely as after service has been convicted of war crimes but who remains at large the pallies of his victims think they're putting him behind bars is there a last chance for justice but they face a race against time in german law as archie's daniel bushell reports this is where the moment of the nazi executioner lives german media is banned from revealing his address but we know he's in the last few years a message for the families of his victims. do you have a message for. those from the clause carol for volunteered for the nazis in world war two he tortured victims before killing them. concentration camp in the villains with frank was held to have been systematic only because people in the night they have to dig their own graves and she was part of the firing squad which shot down. a dutch court jailed for the war for twenty two

murders he suspected of many more but in ninety fifty two he stayed to germany which let him go and gave him full german citizenship he was basically sure they were protected from extradition in the netherlands has applied time off the time to have returned to serve his sentence but germany doesn't extradite its citizens no matter how horrific the crime this is the man who ruled for can stay free yet he hates the german law which he has to enforce. like criminals. no difference. if somebody kills. another person many of neverland's. criminals all of course confirmed really was murdered in the second world war by

the dutch sis he confronted four dollars to me if he had any remorse for who responded with sneers and more koori that was four years ago neighbors say ford was no housebound and close to death it's a race against time for justice now you say well he's a. it was they sometimes say well the material now but one you know his for. the sake of this you feel sorry for he's. just ignorant you know this but it will really go before you guys. always hang is a dark cloud. why didn't you put your for real cruel not since you looked last month germany convicted ukrainian american jew.

just a click away. while the man who blew the cover of a group of russian agents in the u.s. last year has been found guilty of treason by moscow court the verdict is being announced in absentia as intelligence colonel alexander party have managed to flee the country before the scandal unfolded last summer it led to ten agents including chapman being arrested and swapped for four u.s. spies does that mean as are we joins us live now with more details on this case. well what more can you tell us about what seems to be a top secret process out there. well it's difficult to say a lot about the process because as you say it is top secret every single document

that has been heard by a panel of three military judges in moscow's military court has been labeled classified as well as every single bit of evidence and every witness statement that has been delivered in the case every single item of procedural evidence is classified because of course the matter is so highly sensitive and the charges that carry a lot of sort of bites has been found guilty of are no less than treason and just hurting the country of course to very serious charges perhaps might say the most serious charges a man could face especially of course a military man one who was given his life to serving his country has basically done the exact opposite of that but we do know that he has been found guilty of treason and sentenced in absentia to twenty five years in prison. the panel of the verdict was delivered by a panel of three military judges here in the heart of the capital he was appointed

a lawyer by the state that lawyer did give evidence we know that according to some sources his wife also gave evidence on his behalf but to no avail of course the course of the courts did find him guilty. record we know well that. spine drama about a year ago but can you bring us some highlights and remind us of what happened back then. of course back then it caused a huge stir in the international media just after a president with gifts visit to the united states. the united states media came out with stories about the arrest of a russian spy ring in the united states mostly on the east coast those ten were found guilty of espionage and were later swapped for four u.s. pis arrested here in the russian capital and of course that according to

many sources here in russia was a huge setback for the russian. spy service and has brought unnecessary and unwanted attention to many people in the profession of course including anna chapman perhaps the most famous person out of that ten person ring she is currently in russia living and working in politics so basically a lot of attention was drawn to the case we know that xander actually left the country just before the russian president went to the united states with his visit and prior to leaving himself he managed to send out his wife and children so he was definitely preparing according to most sources to do this to leave the country we know that his wife has since come back and she managed to give evidence in the court on his behalf that the reason for her return or the whereabouts of the ex

colonel himself or his family are still unknown. thanks very much indeed for bringing us the details of this case because we are all mine from moscow. to other stories now senior of an israeli officials have denied that the country's president of the chartists has cancer this comes after reports citing a u.s. intelligence source saying the scantily anti-american leader is in a critical condition after undergoing surgery in cuba chavez has been in cuba for more than two weeks but him as well an official say he's being treated for a pelvic abscess and he'll return home in around a week after and research. things u.s. is driving the reports in an effort to stabilize charges his government. what we are seeing the generalized change promoted by the united states britain is real behind the scenes in north africa. as a whole will now be coming very likely to latin america so i would not be surprised

to see a way of us promoted regime change in various countries in latin america from their point of view logical country to start. another has very close ties with. a growing movement a very strong movement with the united states now to kabul to classify him as a quote unquote terrorist state. global power elite operating from the united states and from britain he's said on global regime change as the move i believe closer and closer to a more formal world government. and we have more on washington's less subtle involvement in other countries later this hour here in our team grass is about to start its troop withdrawal from afghanistan will bring you an expert opinion of what the legacy of the americans are leaving behind. a push by the russian government to raise childbirth or to stakes has driven lawmakers to propose a bill limiting a pregnant woman's options over abortion legislators saley wants to reduce the huge

number of terminated pregnancies but there is criticism that the measures will deprive women of the right to determine their own future. what color has the details. when she heard she was pregnant again alina had already been through two ceasar in sections and had to tell 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 there's a lot of where i look at my little miracle 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 her choice freely had she wanted a determination 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 and state clinics and make women wait for

a week before the germination to think over their decision the morning after pill now available at any pharmacy would also become prescription only it's not the normal there was but if we managed to avert at least twenty percent of abortions annually we have a clear increase in vice rates instead of a demographic decline with. a qualified psychologist working at one of moscow's maternity hospitals says the stress of an unplanned pregnancy often makes women wash their decision they might later regret for them as a veggie my task is not to talk a woman out of abortion just sure who the alternatives she doesn't end up tormenting 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 augur found the help she was so desperate for at a moscow charity. my husband left me when i was pregnant i didn't have any means to

him the kids already had 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 the other history shows the there you go she has never wanted to be. 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 were only push women to find risky backstreet alternatives even if it threatens their health and life for the of the 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. the mothers of these babies who found a 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 or 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 warned against their mothers well. gary i wish r.t. moscow. egypt is still waiting for political and economic reform in the wake of its uprising but for thousands of people who are out a living at rubbish dance around cairo it seems changes now are always welcome later in the day our special report reveals the challenges communities faces from globalization their 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. numbers that are soo come here make fun of me. rid of garbage boy i'm not bad like people saying. i'm a good person. 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. as. well as not take a look at some other stories from around the world and a trial has opened in cambodia former mayor rouge leaders on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity afforded phantoms are believed to be responsible for the deaths of up to two million people during their four year all in the nine

a war on terror in afghanistan. during his speech related to the us forces record figuration and again a stand which was supposed to cover the old or new us policy in afghanistan. president obama has never ever mention his concern or demonstrated his understanding that when it comes to afghanistan the real threat doesn't come from the card 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 us and we need to occupation again a stand has been turned into america's state and the local insurgency has spread out into international terrorism unfortunately john kerry called steve who is the

us president dr visor was not involved in reviewing of the old and formulating the new us policy in afghanistan and it boils down to crunch approach there's counter-narcotics strategy for afghanistan and counterterrorism for pakistan and to integrate both approaches in comprehensive counter terrorism strategy. every have our top stories coming your way in just a few minutes next though the latest business news with dmitri.

and there's you know very welcome to business r.t. with me to the tune of the danco russia's biggest airline flights is the latest company to be shed to look for privatization the announcement came from finance minister taxi khujand at the renesas capital investment for me says the sale will take place within the next three to five years the russian state i was around half the company and the size of the stake to be privatized is unclear the russian government is going to sell a number of assets in the near future in order to raise up to twenty five billion dollars. well as extending losses with a stronger dollar and worries about global demand it dropped sharply at the end of last week following a decision by the international energy agency to release to egypt reserves and to the market move is having a direct impact on the russian market which relies heavily on energy exports crude is now trading at around ninety dollars per barrel that's not a u.t.i.

and it's lowest for about a year however you know what it is what you can do if your bank says the facts are likely to be short lived. i really think the fact of these measures will prices is. transitory i don't think it's going to have a long term significance. i think the reason why you do have an emphatic reaction from the markets is the possibility of such measures being undertaken on the possibility of them being repeated in the future but i think is what is accounting for such a significant reaction but if things are left. and there is no continue was sort of effort on the part of the developed world to try and raise will supply and i think it's 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 per barrel. and crude price volatility is widely discussed at the we're nation's capital investment for which is going on right now in moscow we can cross a lot of hopefully to of course not have not enough cost for those that matter you know good to see you what's the atmosphere like. well everyone's really excited here they keep saying that they see a lot of potential and russia and they're here to discuss about investment opportunities and of course this is the perfect place to brainstorm on a leader in france and of course the separatists most important for russia is the oil and gas and we're not drawing by crystal through from the piece to the colonists to discuss more about this no one has been very volatile at this year too late in risk premiums but it has now come down to ninety dollars per barrel what do you make of the current price and where do you see it going in the fourth medium term goal is interesting times following the release of all commercial districts by

the. nobody can tell you exactly where the price will be at a given days but i think it makes sense to think of it as a continuum of possibilities between two extremes one extreme would be what i would call oprah compliance so they do what they said they would do indeed result put in addition to the emergency release and then you would see prices stabilize and fording at a lower level the other extreme is like a war of attrition if they were to college about this if this was really perceived as a wholesome movement by the way they could call in their budgets and see a real these releases by just cutting production on their sides then it would be a prolonged prolonged situation since both alternatives are very costly for both parties i don't think that any of the cheery allies of the truth will be somewhere in the middle so i would expect oil prices of the medium short term to have stabilized to the one level and they don't look at facilitate investment into the russian oil and gas sector the companies need additional tax breaks or more

transparency under school licenses it's all of the off and more that is there's no silver bullet and then russia is an option in a different. so there are all the things which we know from other countries are equal in the fair tax regime. that includes six nations of the balance between the production of before crude oil and finding the product exports a simple licensing regime regime transparent to send this for privatization open climate for foreign investment what i can say and what everybody can see actually is that in those countries and regions where we do have investment private investment is not even talking about big multinational companies so for private investment you have approaching industry to show gas revolution that the u.s. is the best example of brazil and the discoverers there is another example and in those countries a regions where you have state control in the facility for private investors to enter you have a stadium a certain nation that in the long term for the production of a simple thank you very much that was the peacekeeper communist christophe group
