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 in three months after the fukushima 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 sleeper agents in the united states last summer and now sentenced to twenty five years in prison plus. it's all fisons to end this with deportation and a ten year battle from we entering as well. sail. down. a very warm welcome to you this is from moscow russia. the japanese government is

starting a radiation checkouts 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 sean thomas reports confusion over where is safe and where is and is seeing it many of those 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 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. 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 perfect they said different things and the government is that

different things. they're not together. or. 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 who know that in 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 out here. or ideation level and then you kick the breeze in 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 is three really exceed what a normal person would have by a 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 wash 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 tried 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 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 of a 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. now 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 health effects his interview is coming up in less than half an hour's time here and. here's a quick preview. find it personally what a disturbing because on one hand you see the japanese are three piece forcing people and the society to be back to normal kind of sort of the work again kids go to the schools farmers start to actually plant your 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 about the japanese these japanese are thirty sexually be we can hold information they don't know people the tools and they don't provide them with any kind of support. you with are to live from moscow now 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 it led to ten agents including anna chapman being arrested and swapped for four u.s. spies. joins us live from moscow for more on this and let's talk to her now and so the verdict is in what else do we know about this high profile case. 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 forces were held behind closed doors and every shred of evidence and witness statement that was submitted throughout the course of the trial was also classified and top secret but we do know that alexander by tears has been stripped of all of his military ranks and. 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 cording 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 voiced 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 forever so he's not been heard from or seen since according to the documents read in the poorhouse he has for at least ten years been working for the night it states intelligence agencies so this isn't a recent. change of heart so to speak on the party 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 sent out by the united states and exchange for four years 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 of chapman perhaps one of the most famous said media. liked 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 on the registered agents of a foreign government our daughter is going to live in moscow thank you. carrying humanitarian aid bound for gaza is set to depart from greece and israel has already warned that it won't let the convoy reach its destination it also said foreign journalists who take part will be banned from working in israel for ten years and has more details from tel aviv well the mission has been called freedom

and it consists of ten ships comprising some three hundred and fifty activists from twenty two countries now the plan is for them to set sail from greece later this week but we're already hearing from one of the ships which is an american ship that's been called the american boat to gaza the audacity of hope it complains that the greek authorities are not allowing you to leave and in a statement that was read out by passengers on board that ship they accuse the united states of using leverage it has with i image to put pressure on athens with the stage is seeking economic balance in a separate development the israeli government has warned that any journalist who planned to see a sale with the teller will be deported from israel and prevented from reentering the country for another ten years that first photo was at the end of may last year and at that stage it consisted of six base itself from turkey but that attempt indeed in disaster when israeli commando units stormed the largest of those ships

it 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 the latest word we have. is that it is saying that it will not allow the ships to dock in gaza that they have the option of either docking at the israeli port city of ashdod or a city of a regional really carter has indicated that it would assist the ships that in fact decide to sail there is radio photo saying that they need to check the cargo on board and only after they all satisfied that there are no weapons and no ammunition well they then 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 then the citizens of gaza have been unable to receive many basic foodstuffs many eyes in the last it's all has eased the strict sense but still humanitarian organizations both inside and outside gaza claim that the situation is deteriorating and they talk about a humanitarian disaster. reporting there is now are eleven minutes past the hour here in moscow senior venezuelan officials have denied the country's president hugo chavez has cancer this comes after a report citing a u.s. 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 but venezuelan officials say he's being treated for a pelvic abscess and that he will return home in around a week or so or for research or. things that the u.s. is driving the reports in an effort to destabilize chavez's government. what we are

seeing the generalized change promoted by the united states britain france and even israel behind the scenes in north africa in the middle east as a whole will now be coming very likely to live in america so i would not be surprised to see a way of us promoting regime change in various countries in latin america from their point of view a logical country to start with in israel has very close ties with iran a growing movement a very strong movement with the united states at the top level to do clear and classified in israel as a quote unquote terrorist state apparently the 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. well similar talk about the us 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 logistical

support to opposition groups but it only appears to apply to those countries which the u.s. would like to see the leadership toppled parties going extra 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 the u.s. agenda among other things the state department is financing the creation of stealth wireless networks that would enable activists to communicate outside the region.

governments in countries like iran and syria and libya according to participants 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 were essentially color of lucian's our technology is not all the us 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 it's done in general to

create a world that is more aligned more specifically more controlled really 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 is one of the requirements i'm going to read this it is preferable for these personnel to speak spanish fluently possess a 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 u.s. does they're right out in the open 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 are sure to get instructions on how to return the favor essentially there. and the system with. agents of the

u.s. government even if they don't necessarily. get a check on our t. washington d.c. . well we have more on washington's less subtle involvement in other countries later this hour here on r.t. as the u.s. is about to start its troop withdrawal from afghanistan we'll bring you expert opinion on what legacy the americans leaving behind. it's a case that aroused international intrigue and domestic scandal now in the latest twist the head of the hermitage capital hedge fund william browder has reportedly been taken off rushers wanted list had been accused of tax evasion like his former colleagues to get magnitsky whose death in a pretrial detention center two years ago spot global controversy. going off those details on the story. this is quite a high profile case william browder is the c.e.o.

of over a large for investment for and 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 broader is name has been taken off the wanted list in russia and this case has been taken from the group of the investigators who've been working on it seems to thousand and seven to a higher police authority you know there are several several reasons possibly for that the first one is that this case is it 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 could be connected to president need to meet v.d.'s personal supervision all for the case of

a city might be nice 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 in fact 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 check out some other international headlines for you this hour the french city of four has been hit by an eco outbreak 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 ill after eating raw sprouts french authorities say the sprouts were. grown from vegetable seeds brought in from the u.k. the bug killed forty four all but one in germany and made over three thousand

people sick across europe. but trial has opened in cambodia of former camaro rouge leaders on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity the four defendants are believed to be responsible for the deaths of up to two million people during their four year rule in the one nine hundred seventy s. the regime was trying to create a utopian society where people died from starvation disease and overwork last year the former camaro rouge member of comrade 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 to debate among e.u. members on whether to hand over more money is a shock to all for early july but our cross talk program is already tackling the issue. 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 really on their lives you know by trying 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 think that you in. your eyes when they hear. you know you know what do you. want me. twenty one minutes past the hour here in moscow some u.s. officials are arguing for more leeway. the country's combat operations in afghanistan it carried out its despite president obama's announcement last week of

plans to pull out some american troops but aussies military contributing afghani khrushchev believes that america's legacy in afghanistan will be that of spreading narco terrorism. during his speech related to the u.s. forces record figuration in afghanistan president obama has never mentioned his conserve or demonstrated his understanding that when it comes to ghana stan the very real threat doesn't come from the or it's associate but it has everything to do we have narco terrorism the us legacy in afghanistan will be mostly measured by the effect that it was due to the us and nato occupation that evgeny a stand has been turned into narco states unfortunately jill carroll who is the us president drug advisor was not involved in formulating the new policy in afghanistan and it boils down to crunch approach counter-narcotics strategy for

afghanistan and counterterrorism for pakistan and integrate both approaches in current threat hands if counter terrorism strategy. galleries on a website for an exclusive set of pictures from afghanistan it's not covering every aspect of life in the water one country of course thoughts on our website it's on the dot com. with the headlines in just a few minutes time but next though it's nearly with the best. hello

and a very warm welcome time for a business update russia needs to diversify its economy as oil production is not expected to grow in the next decade finance minister alex accouterments size the key challenge is to create an environment for non energy sectors to develop this for the us that would mean. the sleep will decrease its role in companies and give way to private investment the government is going to sell most of its shares and key enterprises in the next three to five years this relates to financial energy telecom and transport sectors. and oil is dropping father with a stronger dollar and worries about global demand it declined sharply at the end of last week following a decision by the international energy agency to release strategic reserves on the market current is not trading out thronged ninety dollars a barrel it's all lowest for about a year. eighty and one hundred dollars per bet it is reasonable both to consume and

produces and there's no need the prize keeps it reasonably within these limits there is no need for anybody to plan it there is plenty oh boy there's no shortage of way there's been devoid of it in the ground though so there's capacity available it's limited but it's sufficient to moderate the market ink is a really really difficult to. have a check on those gold prices light sweet is trading at over ninety dollars per barrel while the brand has to one hundred dollars on european stocks of fluctuating between gains and losses the strangest care of this week and the creek debt crisis they will soon wave key economic indicators from around the world investors are looking ahead to the us data including the personal income onto something numbers to later in the day all the food see point two percent on the docsis watch tonight . and here in russia the markets are extending losses on negative sentiment i would create debt is losing or on top of percent while the my sense is. let's not have

there will be telecoms particular ross telecom m.t.s. looks interesting in that respect in the utility segment it's a very difficult sector as well because you have the problem with the elections but in a downturn it looks like utilities are doing pretty well and over the last couple of weeks to have actually been performing quite reasonable and in that space we like to hold in for example gold hydro generators probably better in the in the durations segment while the small business so that soule be back unless someone else time to update you on the latest business story is a new can get more from a website r.t.r. console ash business. coming to. the.
