this is the first time since the second world war that the japanese people have no trust in the government. as a country as 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 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 decline will breach pregnant women's rights and result in more abandoned children. and the kremlin crime of russia's business says that the renesas capital investment for me here in moscow during business tsotsi in twenty minutes for a live report from me about. what

you're likely going to live in moscow eleven am here on marina joshing welcome to the program the japanese government is starting radiation check ups 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 teams sean thomas reports confusion over where safe and were isn't 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 is starting on the long road to recovery but the people

living here say the government just isn't doing enough from the city hall or like york city they said different things like projects are 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 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 ideation level and then you check debriefs and when you take water you always feel have 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 looks like a beautiful lush green valley behind me but in fact this is the very edge of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone 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 taco if they're still 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 a misinformation or me. understanding that 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 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 the t.v. channels need the money from advertisement and the nuclear energy companies pay a lot with at 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 shun thomas or t.v. . 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 who is part of a team conducting an independent investigation into the health effects his interview is coming up next hour but here is a quick preview. but it's only one of disturbing because on one hand you see the

japanese are three forcing people and the society to be back to normal kind of so that people go to the work again kids go to the schools farmers start to actually plant bigger fields 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 potentially in the food this is three months after the accident started but the japanese these japanese are very few sexually bay we can hold information they don't tell people the tools and they don't provide them with any kind of support. they call him the butcher one of the last surviving the s.s. officers has been convicted of war crimes but who remains at large the param least of his victims think that putting him behind bars is there a last chance for justice but they face a race against time in german law as artie's daniel bushell 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 the last few years a message for the families of his victims. do you have a message for. those from the cloth carol for volunteered for the nazis in world war two he taught should victims before killing them. concentration camp in the loans where frank was held to have been systematically beefed up people in the night they have to dig their own graves and she was part of the firing squad which of them. a dutch court jailed for officer the war for twenty two murders he's suspected of many more but in one nine hundred fifty two he escaped to germany which let him go and gave full german citizenship he was basically sure that are protected from extradition in the netherlands has applied time of 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 a book can stay free yet he hates the german law which he has to enforce. and prosecutors like criminals. see no difference. in the killings. another person many of neverland this criminals. cost confirm really was murdered in the second world war by the dutch sis he confronted farber and asked him if he had any remorse for bill responded with sneers and mockery that was four years ago neighbors say farber's know how spell and i'm close to death it's a race against time for justice now you say well he's eighty nine and people say

sometimes say well why put him in jail now but one you know his victims never lifted and the second was you know had never felt sorry for these these deeds so if you go to munich you try to talk your way just ignorant you know just don't want to talk at all if we don't put him in jail before he dies you know it will always hang as a dark cloud a ball you know why didn't you put your fairy last real cruel not since where he belongs last month germany convicted ukrainian american. on demjanjuk of nazi war crimes or much weaker evidence germany has one rule for its people says costin's and another for foreigners about them younger but he's from russia and you know they don't mind kicking him around as well this isn't germans or even foreign to. a german national there for. the dutch making

a final push to put him behind bars this week they applied to have him serve his sentence in germany activists say it's the last chance to jail the butcher of westerbork the new bushell r.t. english. log on to our web site r t v dot com to discover how similar cases to the one have been handled well you can find out more on the john demjanjuk trial including his victim's evidence as well as comments from his lawyer all that and much more is 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 hired as a country as arwa 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 other by has been found guilty of are no less than treason and deserving 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 the 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 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 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 the courts did find him guilty. well spying drama about a year ago bring us some highlights and remind us what happened back them.

of course back then it caused a huge stir in the international media just after president 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 for u.s. arrested here in the russian capital and of course that 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 chapman perhaps the most famous person out of that ten person

ring she is currently living and working in politics so basically a lot of attention was drawn to the case we know that alexander 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 why. and 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 but the reason for her with joran or the whereabouts of the ex colonel himself or his family are still unknown. thanks very much indeed for bringing the details of this case because we are live from moscow. to other stories now senior venezuelan officials have denied that the country's president of the charges has cancer this comes after reports citing a u.s.

intelligence source saying the stonily anti-american leader is in a critical condition after undergoing surgery in cuba chavez has been in cuba for more than two weeks but eventually i want to fishel say he's being treated for a pelvic abscess and he'll return home in around a week author and research. things u.s. is driving the reports in an effort to stabilize charges his government. we are seeing the generalized change promoted by the united states britain france and even newsreel 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. of us promoting regime change in various countries in latin america from their point of view logical country to start. another has very close ties with iran a growing movement a very strong movement with the united states at the top level to classify them as

a quote unquote terrorist state. global power elite operating from the united states and from britain 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 as the u.s. is about to see. art its troop withdrawal from afghanistan will bring you back spurred opinion on what the legacy of the americans are leaving behind. a push by the russian government to raise childbirth statistics has driven a lawmaker 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 diet what color has the details. when she heard she was pregnant again linda had already been through two ceasar in 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 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 to terminations nothing would have stood in her way abortion in russia is available on request up to twelve weeks and is permitted it 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 terminations to think over their decision the morning after pill no 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

stress of an unplanned pregnancy often makes women rush to a decision they might later regret but the reservation task is not to talk a woman out of abortion just sure who they will turn it is so that she doesn't end up terminating 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 all were 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 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. about history shows that being abortions has never

wanted to be born when the soviet union outlawed abortions in one nine hundred thirty six the result was an enormous increase in the maternal death rate and that's what doctors fear most the restrictions on legal abortions will only push women to find risky backstreet alternatives even if it threatens their health and life of those 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 them. like 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. terry i wish her

well r.t. moscow. egypt is still waiting for political and economic reform in the wake of uprising but for thousands of people who are out a living at rubbish dumps around cairo it seems changes and always welcome later in the day our special report reveals the challenges communities faces from globalization and their arrival of foreign companies. i was just thinking about my future before the foreign companies came i dreamed of owning a can kind of factory. but we have less garbage and now. some has it or so you come here to make fun of me. to get out garbage boy i'm 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 and them. well it's 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 for the phantoms are believed to be responsible for the deaths of up to two million people during their four year all in the nine hundred seventy s. there was trying to create a utopian society but people died from starvation disease and overwork last year the former khmer rouge member of palmer a dutch was sentenced to thirty five years in prison. that would kill a caring humanitarian aid bound for gaza he said to depart from greece it's reported it's made up 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 it also says foreign journalists who take part will be banned from working in israel for ten years and attempt to deliver aid to the blockaded region last year resulted in a raid by israeli forces that left nine activists dead. some u.s. officials are arguing for morally way over how the country's. combat operations in afghanistan are carried out at the spite of president obama's announcement last week of plans to pull out some american troops are his military contributor have danny kershaw 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 or a configuration in afghanistan which was supposed to cover the old or new policy in afghanistan president obama has never ever mention he's concerned

or demonstrated his understanding that when it comes to afghanistan the real threat doesn't come from that card or eats associate but it has everything to do we have narco terrorism the us legacy in the guinness stamp will be mostly measured by the effect that it was due to the us and nato occupation afghanistan has been turned into a narco state and the local insurgency has spread out into international narco terrorism unfortunately ju clearly kolsky who is the us president dr could visor was not involved in reviewing all of the old and formulating the new us policy in afghanistan and it boils down to crunch approach that is counter-narcotics strategy for afghanistan and counterterrorism for pakistan

and to integrate both approaches in comprehensive counter narco terrorism strategy every cab our top stories coming your way in just a few minutes next though the latest business news with dmitri. it was universe and welcome to business r.t. with me to meet him at anchor russia's biggest airline flights is the latest company to be shadowed for privatization the announcement came from finance minister nick siku during that the renesas capital investment for me says the sale will take place within the next three to five years the russian state owns 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. while is 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 to egypt reserves onto 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 w.t. i and its slowest for about a year however yourself it is what it could do if your bank says the effects are likely to be short lived. i really think the effect of these measures on prices is likely to be transitory i don't think it's going to have a long term significant effect 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 repeated in the future that i think is what is accounting for such a significant reaction but if things are left that and there is no continuous sort of effort on the part of the developed world to try and raise will supply then i think it's likely to be a significant factor in the determination of oil prices for this year and we continue to project will prices averaging one hundred seventeen point five dollars poorer per barrel. and crude price volatility is widely discussed that the nation's capital investment forum which is going on right now in moscow we can cross live hopefully to of course but of money and of course there was that matter good to see you it was 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 sector that's most important for russia is oil and gas and we're not i joined by christoph brew from the piece to call this to discuss more about this now what has been very volatile at this year too late and risk premiums but it has not come down to ninety dollars per barrel what do you make of the current price and where do you see it going in their shorts the medium term what is interesting times following the release so for merchants by the. nobody can tell you exactly what the price would be at a given date 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 opec 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 in

fording at a lower level the other extreme is like a war of attrition if they were to counterbalance if this was really perceived as a wholesome movement by the way they could call it that since here we are these releases by just cutting production on their side 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 to materialize in the truth review somewhere in the middle so i would expect the prices of the medium short term to stabilize sort of the level and go look at facilitate investment into the russian oil and gas sector the companies need additional tax breaks or more transparent tenders for licenses it's all of the above and more that is there's no silver bullet and then russia says it ought to know a different plan. so there are all the things which you know from other countries equal in the fair tax regime. that includes taxation sort of balance between the production of before crude oil and finding a product exports

a simple licensing regime regime transparent as 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 i'm not even talking about big multinational companies simple private investment you have approaching industry show gas revolution the u.s. is the best example brazil and discovers there is another example and in those countries a region is where you have state controlled in the opposite realty for private investors to enter you have to stay in the second nation in the long term for the production of simple thank you very much that was b.p.'s chief economist christophe through now of course we'll be bringing you all of the updates from their innocence capital investors conference every hour plenty of gas so lots to look forward to join us in our next well that's a next hour thank you marina closer posting that from the investment forum in moscow and that's all we have time for this i will join us in fifty minutes time for more.
