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. reports. as the waves cruise ship get instant damage to see why the japanese coast tears work tirelessly to clean up the debris and bring some sense of normalcy back to the area. i want to tell people we need more help more supply and things are still found here. beyond the physical destruction there is a distressing psychological factor as well the 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 in the walkies and neighboring cities have tested positive

for thyroid radiation exposure a figure that has parents appalled at all we have the government has or sets the great here if the safety and are not concerned with the consequences their reaction is only to help the governments they face but they don't actually take care of the damage and the people here first there was the earthquake then the devastating a wave which rushed in and destroyed this part of the coastal city of it walking 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. that. again in an 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 simple entertainment or put on their web

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 the walky can indeed recover the convenience of a pathetic low. in city hall but if you 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 they can be helpful that's a good thing that. rebuilding the city one step at a time any walky 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 aimed at assuring people that facilities are safe we spoke to the director general of the world a nucleus o.c.a. ssion who blames the media for storing up public panic in japan you can watch the interview with him coming up a little bit 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 extremism their names taken from a u.n. blacklist north caucasus correspondent with unocal to the right now reports on this . list of individuals and companies suspect it's also involvement 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 open to public 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 of the republics of the volatile region of russia's north caucasus from cheney and from and i guess done there are also some well known names in this list some well known groups like the most in brotherhood al qaida and russia's most wanted terrorist the motto of this document shows is that some kind of a nod or a cow has 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 sawed off by a chechen terrorists that are present here in this region as of chechen rebel. but now the situation has changed where the russia's most wanted man doku umarov being present on the list of the world's most wanted terrorists and it really is this

document shows how the system works and that's the problem our fight terrorism is far from being solved and it is an international problem. maybe no question about reporting right there 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 complex details on that just ahead for you . germany is reportedly planning to sell two hundred battle tanks to saudi arabia in a move sparking a human rights concerns and condemned by opposition politicians as 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 moody's credit rating agency behind the move says a default is likely unless the country is given another bailout many analysts have

questioned the logic of saddling struggling economies with more debt speculation grows over whether the e.u. was ready to come to portugal's rescue again 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 their currencies 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 their expense. 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 ineffective it is an organization that is that is run with the 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 or 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 with r.t. live from moscow now diplomats from russia and france reportedly clashed over

nato's handling of the libya crisis at 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 anti could be rebels which russia says was a violation of the u.n. resolution that is going on this marty is that you got a person off who joins us live. to go to 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 at this meeting. the french foreign minister is saying that there is no more need to air drop weapons to the rebels in libya saying that they're now organized enough to establish ties with foreign partners and get the needed weaponry themselves and this statement came after another only alice mumbai appears that it has been dropping all arms to the. opposition saying that this is the only way you think to prevent civilian deaths while russia strongly few sleep criticizes this saying that

this is a direct violation of the u.n. no fly zone resolution because its original point was to protect civilians and not to supply them with weapons to go to as you were saying nato is actions and libya have previously been described by many as a violation of the u.n. resolution one nine seven three talk us through that document. it's not the first time that the north fly ozone 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 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 to forces and the rebels but during a nato air strikes and these supporters say 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 that it's already done this and germany is thinking about that as well so russia is a few sleet criticizing all of this saying that this was not the point all the north fly zone resolution because its point was to stop the violence and not to take part in this conflict and also perhaps france is the only country at the at the moment which confirmed that it is supplying weapons and supplied weapons to the rebels but just on tuesday that these horses were able to capture a load of weapons which apparently was heading to the rebels. from court or and was produced in belgium so all of this is creating. conflicts with the

members of the un security council in fact what's happening in libya is already affecting the un security council's policies on syria because russia says it will veto any similar resolution on syria after what's happened with the resolution. all right r.t. as you go to piss me off i live in central moscow thank you. well coming up in just a few minutes here on our net gains the technological revolution the trade of indian fisherman how mobile phones have transformed their business and their lives . plus what's behind romania's wish to unite with neighboring moldova r.t. reports from both countries where tensions are high. germany is reportedly selling two hundred battle tanks to 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 brain let's get some more details on this of course live to francisco a german a 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 against demonstrators. you know you can never say a likelihood in terms of hundred percent or eighty percent but the chances are high we didn't know where they would like to go next to even if they would like to use it against their own population. so we think it's definitely not a country that fulfills the criteria c.f.d. own german export rules it certainly doesn't meet the e.u. code of conduct on sex ports so we think that this actually should be pissed off. not proceed so i understand the economic implications of setting off two hundred battle tanks and also forming some weapons of deliberate but is it an issue of just

economic advantage to making money and turning a blind eye to what could be potentially violence. you know i think that the economic issue is of course an important one in this firesign as to the export 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 this is completely missed let 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 so you know sometimes there must be limits to economic interests of german and firms do you think of this economic motivation to due to the fact that 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 wouldn't make it wouldn't go so far to link it necessarily to saudi arabia exports but you remember all over

the delegation for 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 satellite is ing factor but you never know also how to reasonable continue to develop saudi arabia isn't the best friend of iran and iran isn't a friend of israel so my any reason anyone is my friend that might be a good logic but i say again as i said we should not be misled to avoid 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 towards israel but also you know the policy and the entire region of who do we support and how we stand the textural double when it comes to human rights. the 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 polls on this but there was a lot going on in the museum there was a campaign by one of the big organizations campaign called that has its mission 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 that it will provide nato with us for the alliances campaign in libya that's despite its refusal to participate in direct military action what do you make of that. you know i think that was part of of course the nato alliance and supporting it and it's part of the twisted standoff that german government which i think mainly abstained because of electoral reasons not necessarily political convictions and it was just trying to get out of its isolation and instead of germany being there for a run at the front really make

a political process it's trying to sort of the find a role which is you know i think not up to what germany should do for them this is a german member of the european parliament thank you. thank you. well of the mobile phone has become an integral part of every day modern life but what's seen as a fun gadget in some countries has proven enough to revolutionize the lives and livelihoods of many people elsewhere. reports now on the indian fishermen who are costing the next generation network for their catch. most when kumar wraps up his engine for a day of fishing off the coast of carolina the southernmost state in india is that a little bit of i studied in school until the seventh grade but then. i had to leave school because we were not economically well off so i had to help my dad with fishing kumar 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 the boy about the window 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 kumar 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 and india has the fastest growing mobile phone market in the world in the most growth is happening in rural areas what may be seen as a convenience in the us is being utilized by indian fishermen revolutionizing their

business and turning them into entrepreneurs and business men in their communities most of these fishermen have been doing this work for generations and never imagine they've 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. there's a lot of difference between the times when we used to go fishing with stick boats and now when we go fishing with engine but after the arrival of the phone it's become easier for us to studies show that mobile phones aren't just empowering the 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 our children and that is possible because of the earning we get from the fishing business there's 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 the united nations investigation has condemned maze of bloodshed on the israeli lebanese border it's already got killed seven posting. we're going to let others during a march which storm at 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 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. dramatically reduced visibility grounded flights at major airports and left thousands without power it stretched thousands of feet into the air and

was spread by strong winds. activists 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 but as i. see reports there are mixed feelings about the plans but many in moldova remaining bitterly opposed. from photo exhibitions. in both books. 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 bessarabia 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 pass hands several times with the collapse of the u.s.s.r.

moldova declared independence becoming a member of the united nations the council of europe and the world trade organization now in alliance of more than thirty n.g.o.s in romania say these achievements would be sacrificed in the name of reunification unification i. romanians from the states from romania republic of moldova. because for the. fact we are separated unjustly and we want to repair 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 a cesspool 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 president. a couple of months ago clearly said. within twenty five years from now. we'll

integrate. here under 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. analysts in the moldova and 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 and those include several major t.v. stations and two dozen newspapers we believe the main mission is the roman isolation of moldova and the deconstruction of the mold overnight in the. next year which marks two hundred years since book arrest last kisha now for the first time the action twenty twelve movement is planning a massive information offensive on moldova's population action twenty twelve says

it is not funded nor officially supported by bucharest and that their mission is peaceful to inform the people of the need to restore the greater romania if the majority of people from romania and from the republic will decide that. they want to reunification this is a. big leap possible. if that's the case then it's hard to imagine any reunification in the near future especially with up to forty percent of romania agreeing they'd love to have bessarabia back but almost two thirds of moldova's population wants to remain sober and. alexi russia of ski on sea reporting from book arrest in romania and republic of moldova. now if you stay with us our kareen is here with the latest in the world of business. welcome to our business program this out thanks for joining me because the wars are
