time ambassador to the hotel for points pleasures and i would prince so to discipline the hotel in touch with the hotel in touch your group if it's a good girl how would international sales flood to change every green local hotel in total. this is the first time since the second world war the japanese people have no trust in the government as the country's authorities launch a massive a radiation check ups and three months after the focal shima disaster local people are angered by the late response and the lack of transparency. by russian intelligence chief has been found guilty of treason for exposing a group of russian a sleeper agents in the united states last summer and now sentenced to twenty five years in prison plus. it's all threatens to mess with deportation and a ten year battle from we entering is well if they plan to stick sale with

a third to let down for gaza. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow i'm a recent showing the japanese government is starting radiation checkouts for more than two million people living near the crippled fukushima plant as part of a long health monitoring program launched over three months after the nuclear crisis started and sean thomas reports confusion over where is safe and where isn't a seeing 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 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 nor trust in the government 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 see the government just isn't doing enough from the city hall like york city they said different things like perfect or they said different things in the government they said different things. the alligator the or steel part of the country last year they are a part but some believe it is too early to tell what the real dangers of this 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 right your ideation level and then you could 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 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 rice green valley behind me but in fact this is the very head 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. now although this is a perfectly a safe area the radiation levels here are still with green 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 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 work out a deal to help each other and that the media has been blown 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 they have to shut up about the situation and 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 china thomas martini. well the japanese government is pushing people to get back to normal life without creating safe enough conditions for it well that's the view of a greenpeace activist who's part of a team conducting an independent investigation into the fukushima thinks its

interview is coming up in less than a half an hour's time here and. here's a quick preview. make sure you find it personally what a disturbing because on one hand you see the detainees are three piece forcing people and the society to be because the normal kind of sort of people who work again kids go to schools farmers start to actually plants your fields because it's 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 it's not the japanese these japanese are free to sexually be we call information they don't tell people that the rules and they don't provide them with any kind of support. you without the live from moscow the man who blew the cover of a group of russian agents in the u.s. last year has been sentenced to twenty five years in absentia for treason and

defection intelligence colonel alexander managed to flee the country before the scandal unfolded last summer but led to ten agents including anna chapman being arrested and swapped for thought u.s. spies after his government i thought about joins us live from moscow for more on this and let's talk to her now and a high card here so the verdict is in for the last we know about this high profile case. a very little because of course this very high profile case has been deemed top secret and classified so most of the proceedings that took place in moscow as military force were held behind closed doors and every shred of evidence and witness statement that was submitted read the course of the trial was also classified and top secret but we do know that alexander has been stripped of all of his military ranks. achievements and found guilty of treason and sentenced to twenty five years in prison of course at the moment that really doesn't affect his life that much because of course he's not in russia according to the court he's

most likely hiding somewhere in the united states and he left for the united states just a little over a year ago and according to information boyce in the court room that was a complete surprise to everybody including his wife she found out that her husband had deserted her her family and her country from a text message which he sent to her saying mary i'm sorry i hope you find a way to forgive me this isn't for a while this is for after so he's not been heard from or seen since bought according to the documents read in the poorhouse he has a for at least ten years been working for the united states intelligence agencies so this isn't a recent. change of heart so to speak except that i see it has been working with u.s. intelligence officers for at least a decade we know that of the people that he is covering he blew in america

those ten whose bodies that were all those sent out by the united states in exchange for the u.s. spies that were currently that were held in russia that exchange of course took place also last year in vienna out of those ten spies and a chapman perhaps one of the most famous said media. light characters she has her own t.v. show now and is also a member of a youth political party she picked him out of a photo lineup saying that this is in fact the man that she met with in the united states according to her statement she felt somewhat uncomfortable after her meeting with him and contacted her superiors in moscow which then confirmed her suspicions but of course by then it was too late and ten people were sent out of the united states being found guilty of being unregistered agents of a foreign government are going through the rebels one of the most i think you know

. a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid bound for gaza is set to depart from greece but israel has already warned that it won't let the convoy reach its destination but also said foreign journalists who take part will be banned from working in israel for ten years policy that has more details from tel aviv where the mission has been called freedom and it consists of ten ships comprising some three hundred and thirty activists from twenty countries now the plan is for them to sit still some grease later this week but we're really hearing from one of the ships which is an american ship it's been called the american boat to gaza the audacity of hope it complains that the greek authorities are not allowing it to leave and in a statement that was read out by passengers onboard that ship they accuse the united states of using leverage it has with the i admit to put pressure on athens with the stage is seeking economic balance in a separate development the israeli government has warned that any journalists who

plan to stick sale with the fertility will be deported from israel and prevented from reentering the country for another ten years that's those that was at the end of may last year and at that stage it consisted of six steps base itself from turkey where that attempt in that in disaster in israeli commando units stormed the last of those ships was a boat that was operated by the i h h that israel considers an extremist organization but which turkey still is a humanitarian organization and nine passengers nine turkish citizens on board were killed in an effort to prevent a similar kind of outcome the israeli security cabinet has been holding an emergency meeting today the second such meeting in two days it's trying to look at alternative ways of dealing with this for to let the latest word we have is that it is saying that it will not and now the ships to dock in gaza that they have the option of either docking at the israeli port city of ashdod or if you gyptian city of our original really karl. has indicated that it would assist the ships that in

fact decide to sail there is radio farda saying that they need to check the cargo on board and only after the well satisfied that there are no weapons and no ammunition will they even take a commitment upon themselves to deliver the goods in their entirety to gaza now it is important to remember that this blockade that israel has imposed on gaza has been in place since two thousand and six but since the citizens of gaza have been unable to receive many basic foodstuffs many are in the last week it's all has eased the simpsons but still humanitarian organizations both inside and outside gaza claim that the situation is deteriorating and they talk about the humanitarian disaster. that is policy reporting there is an hour eleven minutes past the hour here in moscow senior venezuelan officials have denied that the country's president hugo chavez has cancer this comes after reports citing a us intelligence source saying the staunchly anti american leader is in

a critical condition after undergoing surgery in cuba. has been in cuba for more than two weeks going as well and officials say he's being treated for a pelvic abscess and that he'll return home in around a week or so and research are. things that the u.s. is driving the reports in an effort to destabilize chavez's government. and what we are seeing generalized regime change promoted by the united states britain france and even to israel 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 wave of u.s. promoted regime change in various countries in latin america from their point of view a logical country to start to begin to do another has very close ties with iran a growing movement a very strong move things out of kabul to be clear and classified as a terrorist state currently the 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. well similar talk about the u.s. fostering regime changes appeared after the state department announced its new programs aimed at spreading democracy around the world it's going to provide finance and logistical support to opposition groups but it only appears to apply to those countries which the u.s. would like to see their leadership toppled but he's going to japan has more. 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 independent 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 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 produce a prince in the projects and 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 a fact to block websites those double standards system never what we should be fully aware of and understand will us or the united states government an

australian regime change that's essential. or college is not all the u.s. provides to instigate change in certain countries some opposition movements get a direct cash supply for example we can leaks cables show that the state department has for years secretly funded syrian anti-government groups in general to create a world. war. more specific war control away with. use 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 is one of the requirements i'm going to read because it is preferable for bees personnel to speak spanish fluently as a solid understanding of their cultural contacts and have prior experience on the island in order to maximize their a fact it is in this unique operating environment and of quote sounds very much

like recruiting agents but instead of doing it the traditional secretive wary of the us goes there right out india on their website help most often comes with strings attached many say opposition leaders in libya who now get financial and political support from washington and are sure to get instructions on how to return the favor essentially eight years. with her. u.s. government even though it's necessarily. going to shut down our t. washington d.c. . well we have more on washington's less subtle involvement in other countries later this hour here on our to you as the u.s. is about to start its troop withdrawal from afghanistan expert opinion on what legacy the americans are leaving behind. it's a case that surrounds international intrigue and domestic scandal now and the latest twist of the head of the hermitage capital hedge fund william browder has

reportedly been taken off russia's wanted list had been accused of tax evasion like his former colleagues. whose death in a pretrial detention center two years ago sparked global controversy that you could postpone or post to toss on the story. this is quite a high profile case william browder is the c.e.o. over a large for investment fund the hermitage capital and he was personally suspected of being part of this huge tax evasion scheme we're talking about tens of millions of dollars which the authorities were saying i should have been paid to the state budget but now william brother's name has been taken off the wanted worst in russia and this case has been taken from the group or theme gas to gators who've been working on it seems to thousand and seven to a higher police authority you know there are several several reasons why so before that the first one is that this case is nearing its expiration date so we can be

closed in the near future secondly there is speculation that this way the authorities wanted to provide a more thorough and objective investigation but there is also an unofficial version that this could be connected to our president meet the need to give us personal supervision or for the case of our city monies ski and the circumstances of his death was the lawyer who was hired by william browder and he was actually suspected of being the mastermind behind this whole waged gigantic tax evasion scheme he himself was saying that he believes that managed to reveal a huge tax evasion scheme which included some police officials and some tax officials as well but he died in prison while awaiting trial so he wasn't actually ever found guilty of the crimes he was accused of. right there where you are with r.t.

let's search out some other international headlines for you this hour the french city of florida has been hit by an eco night out similar to the one that led to dozens of deaths in germany eight people have been taken to hospital with at least two of them are found it will after eating raw sprouts french authorities say the sprouts were grown from vegetable seeds brought in from the u.k. the e-coli bug killed forty four all but one in germany and made over three thousand people sick across europe. a trial has opened in cambodia of former compare rouge leaders on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity the four defendants are believed to be responsible for the deaths of two million people during their four year rule in the one nine hundred seventy s. the regime was trying to create a utopian society but people died from starvation and disease and overwork last year the former member was sentenced to thirty five years in prison.

well as greece is asking for more money to bail the country out of its economic crisis more voices are accusing the eurozone of failing the debate among members on whether to hand over my money is a shuttle for early july but i will cross talk program is already happening. the reason we're trying to buy time now and we're still trying to buy time is to allow greece to more carefully consider what exactly does it want to do because greece is the reason there's no reply to a decision 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 i used to think that you in few years when the euro you. know. you hear.

about twenty one minutes past the hour here in moscow some u.s. 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 but artie's military contributor you have any question. that america's legacy in afghanistan will be that of spreading narco terrorism. during a speech related to the u.s. forces or a configuration in afghanistan president obama has never mentioned his concern or demonstrated his understanding that when it comes to evgeny a stamp a real threat doesn't come from the or it's associated but it has everything to do we have terrorism the us legacy in afghanistan will be mostly measured by the

effect that it was due to the us and nato occupation ever again a stand has been turned into a narco state unfortunately clearly koskie who is the us president and drug advisor was not involved in formulating the new us policy in afghanistan and it boils down to approach counter-narcotics strategy for afghanistan and counterterrorism for pakistan and great both approaches a and comprehensive counter terrorism strategy. log on to our galleries on our website for an exclusive pictures from afghanistan covering every aspect of life in the war torn country of course that's our website it's our dot com. with the headlines in just a few minutes time but next though it's with the best.
