let. me. as the japan approves a second disaster recovery budget devastated communities call out for more psychological support and fears grow up to radiation levels and we have around fukushima. but shining a light on the web of international terror russia publishes a declassified list of people and groups it says are financing extremism in the north caucasus. and the euro's woes take a turn for the worse as portugal's debt gets downgraded to junk status with panic spreading everywhere at all and.

very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow almost four months since the massive earthquake and tsunami tore through japan's northeast the daunting task of rebuilding homes and lives continues efforts have been boosted by the passing of a second emergency budget of almost twenty five billion dollars but as well as a financial assistance traumatized survivors are also in desperate need of emotional support as artie's john thomas reports. as the waves crash against the damage to sea wall on the japanese coast volunteers who work tirelessly to clean up the debris and bring some sense of normalcy back to the area you know i want to tell people we need more help more supplies and things are still kind here beyond the physical destruction and there is a distressing psychological factor as well as city if you want he is right on the

edge of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone for radiation contamination in fact in a recent study by japan's nuclear safety commission forty five percent of one thousand children tested anyone here in the neighboring cities have tested positive for thyroid radiation exposure a figure that has parents appalled that if one hundred people we have the government has researched the great era for safety and are not concerned with the consequences of their reaction is to help the government see face but they don't actually take care of the damage and the people here. first there was the earthquake and then the devastating wave with rustin and destroyed in this part of the coastal city of iraq you also there are the nuclear radiation waves that are coming into this area as well the volunteers that are coming in to rebuild this city certainly have their work cut out for them but just like the city itself the people who live here the community they need to have their spirits rebuilt as well but that. can't fit in effort to keep the community emotionally strong

organizers have brought this acting troupe in from tokyo they say their goal is to provide something beyond a simple intertainment. where a certain japanese pride and in this destructive situation i would like to bring good things and present the spirit of japan and japanese pride by bringing people together and making people smile through that shared community experience there is a sense of hope that the city of milwaukee can indeed recover it's gone be pretty close to the city although it's good to see anything like this coming. and with an understanding that there is still much more work that needs to be done the people here are working to keep their community together. i just want them to stay where they want. and if i can be helpful that i'll keep doing it. rebuilding the city one step at a time and you want the city japan sean thomas r.t.

. well in the wake of the crisis at fukushima japan is going to stress test all of its nuclear power plants to determine how well the reactors could withstand further natural disasters but it was also assuring people that facilities are safe we spoke to the director general of the world nuclear situation who blames the media for storing up public panic in japan you can watch an interview with him coming up a little later this hour here on. the russian government has published a list of all individuals and organizations proven to be sponsoring terrorism it also includes international entities involved in funding extremists their names taken from u.n. blacklist north korea's correspondent with unocal to right now reports on. a list of individuals and companies suspected often fulfillment in financing of terrorism was published in this government own newspaper this morning you know this document was a previously confidential but now part of it is that old printer public now companies

that are present in this list are located in different countries and basically across the globe there are companies that are based in egypt in afghanistan in somalia and even in germany and the united states in terms of individuals they also come from a significant range of countries from the countries of the middle east from african countries from germany the united states and from russia russian citizens primarily komo from the republics of the volatile region of russia's north caucasus from change in from and i guess there are also some well known names in this list some well known groups like the muslim brotherhood al qaida and russia's most wanted terrorist the model of this document shows some kind of a nod or a grass been created that connects countries with each other and that the problem of terrorism has become an international issue now several years ago the world

thought off by chechen terrorists that are present here in this region as. now the situation has changed where the russians lost once it's manned the wal-mart of being present on the list of the world's most wanted terrorists and it really is this document shows how the system works and the problem off by terrorism is far from being solved and it is an international problem. no question about reporting right where you are with r t it's good to have your company today and still to come a diplomatic dustup between russia and france reportedly heads out of the french arms dropped to libyan rebels saying it was a violation of the un resolution on the conflict he tells on that just ahead for you. i know germany is reportedly planning to sell two hundred battle tanks to saudi arabia in a move sparking a human rights sons and condemned by opposition politicians as it is illegal. europe's ongoing struggle to save the euro has been dealt yet another blow as

portugal has had its debt downgraded to junk status. credit rating agency behind the move it says a default is likely unless the country is given another bail out. of question the logic of settling struggling economies with more debt speculation grows over whether the e.u. was ready to come to portugal's rescue and the direction the e.u. and the i.m.f. are taking in solving this crisis may well lead to severe consequences that's according to douglas carswell an m.p. from the british conservative party. i think it would be immensely food dish to have another bailout because what we're doing with each so-called bailout is adding to the amount of debt owed by countries who are already bankrupt if we really want to fix this problem instead of adding to the debts of portugal greece and other countries what we should be doing is three things we should be devaluing the currency is that means leaving the euro we should be allowing them to default on their debt restructuring if you prefer that time and we should be forcing them to

downsize expense their. public sector is by so called bailing out greece we're not helping greek people what we're doing is we're transferring that debt burden onto the shoulders of european taxpayers it's frankly an outrageous scam and i think it will mean that you know my children and my children's children will have vastly higher tax bills it's not right it's not good for us in western europe it's not good for greece it's not good for portugal the argument is that we should continue to pay this money to the i.m.f. but i happen to think the i.m.f. is not doing what it has historically done so well it's actually in effect it is an organization that is that is run with the wrong approach it's a little bit like putting the arsonists in charge of the fire department we'll continue to see hard pressed western european taxpayers asked all rather not asked but required without consent to foot the bill for the folly of the political class

in pursuit of a grand year's vision of monetary union it's outrageous and it's not fair incidentally it's also going to consign us to the economic slow lane for many years to come if this continues. you would r.t. life in moscow now diplomats from russia and france reportedly clashed over nato's handling of the libya crisis of a meeting of the un security council are being held behind closed doors it's believed that moscow criticized the french decision to deliver weapons to and you could ask the rebels which russia says was a violation of the u.n. resolution that has come on this remark that you're going off who joins us live. hello to you so break this down for us so at this point what more do we know about what was said behind closed doors in this meeting. the french foreign minister is saying that there is no more need to airdrop weapons to the rebels in libya seeing that they are now organized enough to establish ties with foreign borders and get the needed weaponry themselves and this statement after another only appears that

it has been dropping all arms to be. opposition saying that this is the only way you think to prevent civilian deaths while russia strong you sleep criticizes this saying that this is a direct violation of the u.n. no fly zone resolution because it's its original point was it to protect civilians and not supplying them with weapons to go to as you are saying that those actions and libya have previously been described by many as a violation of the u.n. resolution one hundred seventy three to talk us through that argument. it's not the first time that the no fly zone resolution which initially gave the green light for the entire military operation in libya that this is becoming a source of contention between the members of the u.n. security council because first of all the operation has been going on for over four months and civilians are still being killed not only in the fighting between going

after us forces and the rebels but during a meeting or airstrikes and got out the supporters see that scores of civilians have already been killed because of these strikes including some members of got our family including children also several western powers sent trainers to help organize the rebels there's now talk about supplying arms to the rebels france directly says that is already done this is germany is thinking about that as well so russia is fusion the criticizing all of this saying that this was not the point all for the north why is on resolution because it's point was to stop the violence and not to take force in this conflict and also perhaps france is the only country at the at the moment it was confirmed that it supplying weapons and supplied weapons to the rebels but just on tuesday he swore says were able to

capture a lot of weapons which apparently was heading to over the rubble. from court or and was produced in belgium so all of this is creating. conflicts more with the members of the u.n. security council in fact what's happening in libya is already affecting the u.n. security council's policies on syria because russia says it will veto any similar resolution on syria after what's happened with the resolution and we'll be all right r.t. as you go to prison often live in central moscow thank you. all are coming up in just a few minutes here on r.t. net gains the technological revolution loosening the trade of indian fisherman how mobile phones have transformed their business and their lives. plus what's behind romania as wish to unite with neighboring moldova party reports from both countries where tensions are high. germany is reportedly selling

two hundred battle tanks and saudi arabia talk of a deal has caused outrage among germany's opposition politicians who claim the government would be breaking its own export rules they're also angry as saudi military has helped in the past to crush anti government demonstrations in. let's get some more due to the details on this of course live to francisco a german and member of the european parliament thank you for joining me today so the tanks are due to be exported to saudi arabia in the wake of popular anti-government uprisings across the region how likely is it that they're going to be used there against demonstrators. you know you can never say a likelihood in terms of hundred percent or eighty percent that the chances are high we don't know where they would like to go next or even if they would like to use it against their own population. we think it's definitely not a country that fulfills the criteria own german export rules it certainly doesn't meet the e.u. code of conduct announced exports so we think that this actually should people

stopped. and not proceed so i understand the economic implications all of a sudden or two hundred times and also finding some weapons of libya but is it an issue of just economic advantage or making money and turning a blind eye to what could be potentially blatant violence. you know i think that the economic issue is of course an important one and it's firesign us to the exports of before it got its blessing was checked with the americans who also gave sort of the ok on it i think of course it's also this idea of a stabilizing factor in the region but i think it's completely missed let's we have seen what can happen to a regime and we don't think this is the right moment first of all to send such a signal politically but also to send to the so for us you know sometimes there must be limits to economic interests of german in terms. of this economic motivation it's due to the program germany is shouldering so much of the eurozone

debt. no i don't think that this is necessarily linked unlike the defense industry in germany has its interests in greece and there it's linked but i would make wouldn't go so far to link it necessarily to saudi arabia exports so you have ever although to go sure enough the relations with israel looking at the wider region here what effect could the deal have on israel's security. you know probably most likely from the israeli current government position it's even the sample izing factor but you never know also how to reach and will continue to develop saudi arabia isn't the best friend of iran and iran isn't a friend of israel it's of my any of these any of us my friend that might visit logic but i say again as i said we should not be misled to avoid the current developments and also the credibility of germany and the european union in the region because i think that's a very important point not only to it but also you know the pilots union and the entire region of who do we support and how our standard takes will double when it

comes to human rights. saudi military helped to crush anti-government demonstrations in bahrain recently where serious human rights abuses were reported this is rather new news with saudi arabia deal with the tanks going there from germany but what does how does the average german feel about this military deal. i think the average citizen was probably outraged we don't have any told sunday this but there was a lot going on in the media campaign so i want to big organizations can pick holes that has a position on the german government to stop this which already got a lot of signatures online so it is mobilizing german citizens and i hope we can maybe still stop it now germany earlier and also it will provide nato with us for the alliances campaign in libya that's despite its refusal to participate in direct military action and what do you make of that. you know i think that was part of of course the nato alliance in supporting it and it's part of the twisted standoff

that german government which i think many abstained because of electoral reasons not necessarily political convictions which is trying to get out of its isolation and instead of germany being there for a run of the front really make for a political process that it's trying to sort of the find a role which is you know i think that up to what germany should do. is this kind of a german member of the european parliament thank you. thank you. for the mobile phone has become an integral part of everyday life but what's seen as a fund gadget in some countries has proven enough to revolutionize the lives and livelihoods of many people elsewhere he was pretty shrewd reports now on the indian fishermen who are costing the next generation network for their catch. more than a clue marv wraps up his engine for a day of fishing off the coast of carolina the southernmost state in india with

a little bit of i studied in school until the seventh grade. and i had to leave school because we were not economically well off so i had to help my dad with fishing kamar is one of thousands of fishermen in the state who wake up at one o'clock in the morning to earn a living for decades fishermen like kumar relied on luck and prayers to find a good catch but all that has changed since the introduction of the mobile phone in the state more than ten years ago but. if the fish is not available where we go fishing fisherman in other parts of the sea call us and tell us where we might be able to find a good catch then we go to that particular place. in addition because of the new ease of communication kamar is able to find out how much demand is that his local market and the prices the buyers are offering in order to determine where best to sell his fish today he is making double the amount of money he was making before he started using a mobile phone he now owns his own boat and says he is able to send his three

daughters to college india as the bath is trying mobile phone market in the world in the most growth is happening in rural areas that may be seen as a convenience in the lot is being utilised by indian fisherman revolutionizing their business and turning them is that entrepreneurs and business men in their community most of these fishermen have been doing this work for generations and never imagined they'd become so tech savvy they had watched their fathers and grandfathers come home from sea several times with no fish at all but today that never happens. as a lot of difference between the times when we used to gay fishing with stick boats and now when we go fishing with engine but off to the arrival of the phone it's become easier for us studies show that mobile phones aren't just empowering to fisherman in the community more competition means better prices for consumers on average they fallen by four percent it's a new quality of life for the people of this community who never dreamed that they

would escape poverty. most fishermen are literates but we want to give a proper education to watch children and that is possible because of the earning we get from the fishing business has no doubts that mobile phones have helped. providing new opportunities by advancing their tradition with technology preassure either r t carola india. right now turning twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital you with r t let's check out some other stories making headlines around the world this hour a united nations investigation has condemned maze of bloodshed on the israeli border israeli guards killed seven palestinians were due to let others for during a march which saw a crowd storm of the border they were shot as they scaled the fence during an anniversary rally which members rather remembers that the palestinian people displaced by the creation of israel but israel is yet to comment on the un's report . i want to go to these amazing pictures from the united states show

a wall of dust fifty miles wide which caused chaos after descending on parts of phoenix arizona residents dramatically reduced visibility grounded flights at major airports and thousands without power it stretched thousands of feet into the air and was spread by strong winds. activists in a romania say they want unification with neighboring moldova by next year they say the two countries should be together again as they have been at various points in their history results. the reports are there are mixed feelings about the plans but many in moldova remaining recently a post. from photo exhibitions rallies in both bucharest and. since two thousand and nine some movements in romania have been complaining to win back what they see as their land. since april it's been impossible to miss colorful stickers like that intel is in cities across romania best around here is romania they say

believing that the land which is now the sovereign state of republic of moldova must again be under book arrest control and indeed it was until the nineteenth century which saw it passed hand several times with the collapse of the u.s.s.r. muldaur were declared independence becoming a member of the united nations of europe and the world trade organization now in alliance of more than. n.g.o.s in romania say these achievements will be sacrificed in the name of reunification by reunification i mean. the romanians from the two states from romania republic of moldova one state because. of break we are separated unjustly and we want to leave this historical truth bucharest official line is that reunification of the two nations can only happen if the post soviet state becomes an e.u. member but politicians in moldova have expressed concerns that president says

school would not wait for that eventuality and will instead at some point in the future expand his country's borders to absorb moldova the remaining presidents. a couple of months ago clearly said that within twenty five years from now. we'll integrate. here under the just the european integration for many of its actions is actually discrediting the whole concept of the european integration because for most of the people the european integration is definitely not integration with. analysts in the moldavian capital say the last few years have served as a clear proof of this intention. after the change of power in two thousand and nine loads of romanian media outlets appeared in moldova those include several major t.v. stations and two dozen newspapers we believe the main mission is the room an isolation of moldova and the deconstruction of the mode overnight in the. next year which

marks two hundred years since bucharest last for the first time the action twenty twelve movement is planning a massive information offensive with population action twenty twelve says it is not founded nor officially supported by bucharest and that their mission is peaceful to form the people of the need to restore the greater romania. the majority of people from romania and from republic of moldova you say that. they want to reunification this is a. big possible. if that's the case then it's hard to imagine any reunification in the near future especially with after forty percent of romanians agreeing they'd love to have better be back but almost two thirds of moldova's population wants to remain sober and. alexi russia ski and see reporting from bucharest in romania and kishan our republic of moldova. now if you stay with us our kareen is here now with the latest from the world of business.
