a good girl would international flood to change every green little chill in talk of . the. corner judges in the hague issue arrest warrants for the libyan leader to have his court put up on charges of killing and the regime protestors over the last four months. is no prison sternness with deportation and a ten year ban for me entering is no if they plan to sit sail with a to let down. it's confirmed now fifteen people showed signs of radiation exposure fukushima nuclear plant the latest government checks are met with anger and skepticism. and in absentia

a moscow court hands out twenty five years in prison to a top intelligence officer who fled russia after exposing a group of us that praised the russian agents including anna chopra. a very warm welcome to you this is our live from moscow i'm wrong. well a flotilla of humanitarian ships carrying aid and supplies for gaza is set to depart from greece is reported to be made up of ten vessels with some five hundred activists on board israel warns that its military is quote gearing up to intercept the aid armada also want to journalists that they could face a ban and deportation for covering the offense. has more from. the mission has been called the freedom flotilla two and it consists of ten ships comprising some

three hundred and fifty activists from planes into countries now the plan is for them to set sail from greece later this week but we're really hearing from one of the shots 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 you 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 i admit to put pressure on afrin smith 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 post was that me end of may last year and at that stage it consisted of six. or better its members ended in disaster an israeli commando units stormed the lot just off those ships it was a boat that was operated by the i h h that is all considered an extremist

organization back which turkey says is a humanitarian organization and nine passengers knowing turkish citizens on board were killed not in an effort to prevent a similar kind of outcome the israeli security cabinet has been holding an emergency meeting today has taken such meeting in two days it's trying to look at altoona to graze of dealing with this fertility but 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 idle docking at the israeli port city of ashdod gyptian thirty of our original really carter has indicated that it would assist the ships that plan or impact the slide to say over there israeli authorities saying that they need to check the cargo on board and only offer to be all satisfied that there are no weapons and no ammunition will they then take a commitment upon themselves to deliver the goods in their entirety to gaza now it is important to remember that this. ok that israel has imposed on gaza has been in place since two thousand and six but since then citizens of gaza have been unable

to receive many basic foodstuffs many items in the last week it's all has eased destructions but still humanitarian organizations both inside and outside gaza claim that the situation is deteriorating and they talk about a humanitarian disaster. of syria right now it appears that libyan leader moammar gadhafi is not only being targeted by nato jets the international criminal court also has a minute sites dodgers and the hague have issued an arrest warrant for battery and his closest allies on charges of crimes against humanity are of course want to renegotiate i'm going to buy for more details on this. the court's decision it coincides with the one hundred day of nato as a military campaign in libya what is he facing now. well at this point we know that this is only the second time in the court's nine year history that. such a warrant has been issued for an acting head of states the previous time when such a warrant has been issued it was for the sudanese president that there were and

however he still has not been implemented or put into action so what now for. the court. to decide on that as you have just said the bombing i believe in capital continues in fact there were reports of some extremely heavy artillery fire in tripoli just this morning not too far from where. from moammar gadhafi compound a not too far from the hotel where journalists international journalists are staying now the international court has been set up in order to executives in order to prosecute heads of heads of state or other officials wanted for crimes against humanity or genocide is this country is their own country will not or cannot do so and this apparently is the case in this instance now libyan authorities have already said that they are not they're not perplexed by the decision of the c.c. because they said that they have not signed. the rome treaty which has been set up

which has set up the courts however he says the libyan authorities have to comply with its sanctions because the request for a search warrant for the warrant of the arrest was actually forwarded to the i.c.c. by the u.n. security council in february and therefore at libya has to comply with this you decision because it has to comply with the u.n. security council resolution. and so are you going to listen to the live in brussels thank you. still to come on the program democracy. for us and answers a new program to help opposition wins across. the globe some suggest it's just a convenient way to overthrow the nuisance government's. the criminal case which cost of domestic scandal and international intrigue may soon be closed the head of

a british hedge fund accused of a major tax fraud in russia is off the most wanted list. now the man who blew the cover of a group of russian agents in the united states last year has been found guilty in absentia of treason and desertion by a moscow cool intelligence colonel alexander fled the country before the scandal last june which saw ten agents including and chapman arrested he's coming out has been following the ceilings. this very high profile case has been deemed top secret and classified so most of the proceedings that took place in moscow's military court were held behind closed doors then 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 i think saw that right he has been stripped of all of his you know its the 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 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 and 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 i've extended my teeth has been working with u.s. intelligence officers for at least a decade out of those people whose coverage he blew and a chapman perhaps one of the most famous said media. liked characters 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. reporting right the japanese government is starting radiation charts on the millions of people living through the stricken fukushima nuclear plant it's going to feel that fifteen people living for kilometers from with some of the showed signs of internal radiation exposure but it was only last month. many no longer trust the safety warnings. just 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 and watching the 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 thirty hauler like iraq the day they said different things like perfect or they said different things and the government is that different they've. they are not together. or still part of the country but here they are a part but some believe it is too early to tell what the real dangers of the situation or scientist to 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 could get briefs and then you take water you always feel half different values because it's so close and so changing

so you can hardly say but it's really exceeds 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 watch green valley behind me but in fact this is the very head of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone that the government has set up and five we tried to get a little bit closer but were supported by a police officer and a couple of personal now although this is a perfectly a safe area the radiation levels here are still between seven and ten times higher than normal whether from 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 and all the problems 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 and even money from advertisement and the nuclear energy companies pay a lot with it this money if it 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 showing thomas. now greenpeace is conducting its own investigation into the health effects of the fukushima disaster in an interview to r.t. one activist accuse the japanese government of failing to create safe enough conditions

for people to rebuild their lives we've got that full interview later this hour here on our but first here's a preview here. personally what a disturbing because on one hand you see the difference are three peace forcing people and the society to be back to normal kind of sort of people who work again kids go to 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 level for the division and the contamination of both in the soil but also potentially in the food because three months after the accident started what the japanese these japanese are pretty sexually very we can hold information they don't tell people the tools and they don't provide them with any kind of support. and other interviews in about twenty minutes time here on r.t. now the u.s. state department's plans for spreading democracy around the world have been greeted with speculation that washington is planning

a program of foreign regime change it will provide finance and technology to opposition groups but the attached strings could be used to steer other states where america wants them as artie's garnishes counterparts with 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 fast a 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 independence civil society groups in those countries it's just been 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 with the best of intentions they're promoting. democracy but in reality it's just promoting 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 reach of

governments in countries like iran syria and libya according to participate in the projects other programs include a so-called internet in a suitcase a powerful portable wireless transmitter that activists king used 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 a technology to effectively block websites those google soon are still. not fully aware of and understand. the united states government fostering regime change. color revolutions our technology 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 that is more and more specifically more controlled blew away with the news 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 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 us does they're right out in the open on their website helping 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 every eight years and be consistent with her u.s. government even if they don't necessarily mean you can check on our t. washington d.c. . when because of a serious opposition and human rights movements have arrived right here in moscow for talks with russian officials to discuss ways to stop the bloodshed but person to action to syria remains tense with an estimated one thousand four hundred people killed in a crackdown on three months of answer government protests widespread political reform put forward in a bid to calm the opposition includes a possible change of constitution a ruling party could also have its monopoly on power strips i'm going to look at who was in moscow told r.t. the change in syria can only be imposed from within. no you came here to fight monster for its efforts to stop the bloodshed and violence the sweeping syria we would like straights and we will continue to maintain friendly strategic relations with russia the mother who is going to be in power in syria we as well as all the

other political forces in syria we are friendly relations with moscow and called the russian authorities to denounce violence in syria at the un security council all of position forces both inside and outside the country are against foreign intervention in syria we are united in only one thing only the syrian people have the right to resolve the country's domestic problems we are also convinced that russia and the world community must flee a vital role in achieving peace and stability in what. you would r.t. live from moscow where it's nearly twenty minutes past the hour change isn't always good and certainly isn't welcomed by the so-called garbage people of egypt still reeling after the former regime was overthrown coming up later in surveillance program here in our special report on those who say that globalization is stripping them of their only means of support.

i was just thinking about my future before the foreign companies came i dreamed of owning a can cabin factory. where we have less garbage and now. some visitors who come here make fun of me. regular garbage boy i'm not banned like people think. i'm a good person. it's just that people don't see me. so i feel it was time people like me. that i feel people will start to appreciate us. now twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow one of russia's most high profile criminal cases could be close to a conclusion william browder the head of british hedge fund hermitage capital has

reportedly been taken off the international wanted list by the accusations of large scale tax fraud against him will now be examined by russia's interior ministry artie's it as going off explains what back again. william browder is the c.e.o. of the overall large for investment fund the hermitage capital of the group and he was personally suspected of being part of this huge massive tax evasion scheme. the officials cost of the state billions off rubles we're talking about tens of millions of dollars which the authorities were saying i should have been paid to the stage project but now william browder is name has been taken off the wanted list in russia and this case has been taken from the group of the investigators have been working on it seems to thousand and seven to a higher police how to do you know there are several several reasons possibly for

that the first one is that this case is a nearing it's an expiration date so it can be closed in the near future secondly there's speculation that this way the authorities want to provide a more thorough and objective investigation but there's also an unofficial version which actually is linked to the police themselves and that is that this could be connected to our president speaking if he gets personal supervision all for the key self icici monies ski and the circumstances of his death he's a lawyer who was hired by william browder and he was actually suspected of being the mastermind behind this alleged gigantic tax evasion scheme but he died in prison while awaiting trial so he wasn't actually have a valid guilty of the crimes he was accused of. right that well it's got some of the headlines from around the world for you this hour but thousands

have been forced from their homes in the u.s. state of north dakota after a river of buses banks and services and volunteers scramble to build a good dams and makeshift levees with mixed results but a major fear now is the contamination of drinking water. with people being urged to boil before drinking the waters are still not receding and the worst could still get it to come. greek lawmakers are discussing a deeply unpopular spending cuts and tax hikes today the measures are a prerequisite for a new multi billion euro bailout from the european union and a last ditch effort to avoid default the photos being seen as crucial to the future of the whole euro but the austerity plan has angered the public because of its severity and cost to future generations. and while greek lawmakers debate the controversial cuts face off against a furious public people and it's discussed what the implications of a default may be across talk coming your way at fifteen hundred g.m.t.

but for now he's a small preview. now of those default these three b. it's all going to be a simple simple situation are having to ask but for this money and this means that the greek banking system has an immediate problem as well now that could push greece to a very quick decision about leaving the euro but i think that part of 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 easy on this leaves notably trying to avoid being on the politicians bases 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 think that if you if you. if you.

want to. call it a time now for the business news with the country. welcome to the business thanks for joining me this hour russia needs to diversify its economy as oil production is not expected to grow in the next decade finance minister alexei cauldron says the key challenge is to create an environment for non energy sectors to develop this looks to me and should work good the state will decrease its role in companies and people abroad investments the government is going to solve most of the cheers and he enterprises in the next three to five

years this really needs to play natural energy and transport so. russia's biggest airline air flight is the latest company settle for privatization the announcement came from finance minister couldn't they were the sounds capital investment form he 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 us and government is going to sell a number of assets in the near future in order to raise up to twenty five billion dollars. now or is dropping further were the 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 to teach it reserves the market code is now trading at around ninety dollars a barrel its lowest for about a year. the range of between eighty and one hundred dollars per bet it is reasonable both to consumers and producers and as long did the prize keeps it

reasonable you wouldn't be doing this to me it is no need for anybody to panic there is plenty oh boy it is those who forget where there is plenty of worry billy in the ground zero so this capacity available it's limited but it's sufficient to moderate them i think is the real your difficulties. take a look at the markets a closer look at the oil light sweet is trading at over ninety dollars a barrel while brant is hovering hundred and four dollars because european stocks are fluctuating between gains and losses as traders here are crucial events this week in the greek debt crisis they also weak economic indicators from around the world investors are looking ahead to u.s. state moving first helping pump some sheer numbers to you later in the day the footsie is up point one percent the stock dax is down twenty one percent here in russia the markets are extending losses and negative sentiment over greek debt as it's losing. over one percent of all the guys it's down for half

a cent now let's have a look at something and it will shambles on the rise explored majors are among the main loses following peak downturn include both who put across net are in the red banking stocks are also under pressure with spare bank balance point nine percent. and peter weston at capital explains what russian stocks could potentially see an uprising and an upswing in the near future. if you have to be in russia and visit vironment you might want to in the short run at least take the defensive names and there will be telecoms particular ross telecom and m.p.'s looks interesting in retrospect in the utility segment it's a very difficult sector as well because you have the problem with elections but in a downturn it looks like utilities are doing pretty well and over the last couple of weeks they have actually been performing quite quite reasonable and in that space we like must be holding for example a goal would have hydrogen raters probably better in the generation segment that's the latest we have the in business will be back with more in just under one.
