tell people we need more help more supplies and things are still 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 and fact in a recent study by japan's nuclear safety commission forty five percent of one thousand children tested in the walking into neighboring cities have tested positive for thyroid radiation exposure a figure that has parents appalled. the government has researched a great syria for safety and they're not concerned with the consequences their reaction is to help the government see face but they don't actually care of the damage and the people here first there was the earthquake then the devastating way which rushed in and destroyed in 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 for rebuilding this city certainly have their work

taken from the u.n. blacklist north caucasus correspondent and over as the details. i list of individuals and companies suspected also involvement in financing of terrorism was published in this government owned newspaper this morning you know this document was a previously confidential but now part of it is open to 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 this volatile region of russia's north caucasus from cheney and 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 you know this document shows 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 thought off by chechen terrorists that are present here in this region as of chechen rebels but now the situation has changed whether russia's most wanted to mount the models being present on the list of the world's most wanted terrorists and it really is this document shows how the system works and of the problem all for a truism is far from being solved and it is an international problem. well a lot more still to come in the programs are including selling weapons or note germany is reportedly planning to reach two hundred twenty of your review moves walking through mirage concerns and condemned by position politicians.

first diplomats from russia and france have reportedly clashed over natures handling of the libya crisis or the meeting of the un's. security council held behind closed doors it's believed not sco criticized the french decision to deliver weapons to antique it a few rebels which russia says was a violation of the un resolution to go to prison or the reports on why moscow is taking such a strong stance. libya is becoming a real source of contention between the members of the u.n. security council what happens behind the closed doors of leaders meeting of the council was that france came out by saying that it doesn't see a need anymore to air drop weapons to the rebels in libya explaining that they are now organized enough to establish contacts with foreign partners and get the needed weaponry themselves the statement came after another announcement by paris that it has been dropping all arms to be a libyan opposition explaining that this is the only way to prevent civilian deaths

while russia is fiercely criticizing all this saying that this is a direct violation healthy north lies on resolution which originally gave the green light for the entire military operation in libya and its aim was to stop the violence and protect civilians and not supply them with weapons the operation has been going on for over four months and civilians are still being killed not only in the fighting between going to have these forces and the rebels not doing nato airstrikes and got out the supporters see that scores of civilians have already been killed because of the shi'ites including some members of got artie's family including children also several western powers sent to trainers to help organize the rebels there's now this talking about supplying arms to the rebels france directly says that is already done this germany is thinking about that russia is

a fusion of criticizing all of this saying that this was not the point or the no fly zone resolution because its point was to stop the violence and not to take part in this conflict on tuesday got a few swartz's were able to capture a load of weapons which apparently was heading to the rebels from katara and was produced. so all of this is creating. conflicts more on 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 a russia says that it will veto any similar resolution on syria after what's happened with the resolution on libya. let's not discuss this dispute between russia and france with bricmont is the author of the book humanitarian imperialism joining us there on his webcam in brussels we now know that the u.s. and the u.k.

have supported paris in this this agreement with russia which is perhaps no surprise they're all allies of course in the libyan campaign so how much influence tells russia actually have in this debate. well. there are signs of east. resolution and i hope he really. goes what science is doing now he's obviously a very lesion. in there nine hundred seventy. i really think navy person instantly learns they're giving. none of. their leisure but the brains of the resolution is that once you allow these. there we will be dairy alliance we want. no matter what they are no matter what their usual season that will be secure is that. you.

need to preserve the. nature interest this is also of course a humanitarian mission and this particular instance when those weapons were dropped to those civilians by the french by all accounts those civilians were under threat from being massacred by gadhafi stroup so it's difficult to draw the line is that you can't just stand back and that happens all the doesn't matter i'm struck justified on the basis of fact this is a humanitarian mission. it's interesting to see the recent international findings broadly creation. but not substantiated. that france is now in some ways maybe doing a u.

turn saying there's no need to provide the rebels with any more weapons that's what i just said does that actually mean that perhaps nato can now play less of a role in libya. i don't see was the everything and sort of. making progress on the ground i don't know. it seems to me that people in. need there is some of the. legal situation on the. issue for quite a number of weeks now i'd like to know what do you think after all the chance that you and i have had and here we are many months into this conflict why is it so hard do you think for the nato forces to achieve their goal why is it taking so. well presumably because there is this then some of the other states. where he was on the

state of. collapse to begin evacuating i don't see i mean they are not being completely there or. do you have a few problems with the job and. rush out once russia obviously agrees along with nato that has got to go but obviously doesn't agree with the methods but do you think obviously which russia wants negotiations do you think negotiations really could work at this stage or is it tonight. i mean that he has preferred negotiation some i spoke with a decision. yes we can. negotiate all of these in favor of negotiation. if you need to consider

a negotiation. because you see look at the same time but there was. another time where. we were all. either and they give. you the seed usually against. them and i thought. that was the warning from against them after ten years and i get them here in other words. if you know. this is you see me there was a mistake you made a mistake making it easy. he said weeks not months if not now it's months this is another three months there's you looking the other two months will not go on. to something. that may go on and on i don't know when we'll have to leave it there

thanks very much for your thoughts no doubt we'll be talking about this again in the future john bricmont joining us live in brussels on his webcam thank you thank you very much. more on the controversial flows now germany is reportedly selling two hundred tanks to saudi arabia talk of a deal is causing outrage among germany's opposition politicians who claim the government would be breaking its own export rules well for more on this let's cross live now to young and he's a foreign affairs expert from germany's left wing party. thanks very much indeed for joining us the situation in the middle east is far from stable just how significant is the timing of this deal. i mean this timing is a disaster you should know that the saudi arabians for thirty years from modern german tanks and everything a german government denied it right in the arab spring right into the movement for democracy and freedom and. this german government decides to two hundred of the

most modern tanks it's a disaster clearly a lot of opposition from political parties will the german government listen to the likes of you and perhaps making you. we know that even in the ruling parties there's a lot of opposition against this because you know it was this government in the past couple of months went to egypt went to an easier who always say that we have to promote and support the movement for democracy in the arab world and everybody here knows and talks about it it was saudi arabia who invaded behind with tanks by the way. to fight in a bloody intervention the democracy movement so even in the ruling parties there are a lot of members who say we can't do this if we know that modern tanks to saudi arabia to that really through a rights violator then we lose any kind of credit in the arab world so don't do it but whether the government or not will make you turn and we'll see and we had the

first demonstration through the hope that there will be a larger movement and then yes maybe we can stop it what a lot of talk about political pressure on the government the u.s. has reportedly given the green light to this deal do you think that. as a result of that recent meeting between matalin the barmah that maybe there is a lot of pressure on the let's say more cooperative with the u.s. and indeed with nato. yes but i doubt that there's any kind of pressure from the from the americans but the term and short sell the tanks i mean the americans want to start their own tanks i mean there is indeed competition so i doubt that there is any kind of pressure on merkel and the german government i think it's the other way round that the germans would like to sell it and then they ask the obama administration whether they would give the green line and they probably ask also the israelis and only when they get that we're nice to the deal but i doubt that there's any kind of international pressure to sell it was always in the past decades that it was international pressure not to sell sort of our business there

isn't it germany needs to make money along with many other countries exporting arms . it's a good time isn't it for the german economy alone obviously it's the strongest player in europe at the moment but it's the right time is need to do deals like that and why should you be criticizing it when jobs are a state. it's always a bit time to sell weapons and i'm totally opposed to any kind of weapons export because in the long run in five years and fifty years all these weapons you export today they will end up in a war in a civil war and fighting to democracy movement it will cause death by the thousands so i think it's always a good idea to sell arms and it was actually it was this german government who supported international arms trade treaty to prevent export to a dictatorship and everything and now they're doing the same thing so i don't think they should go ahead and the other way on the other hand they should stop they stopped arms export to egypt they started to libya they stuck it to the museum and i think they should stop it every single take to show the world how the certainly you are now considering helping out with munitions aid to the nato campaign in

libya what are the implications there do you think and what are you saying about it opposition parties. yeah i mean there was a lot of criticism that on the one hand the german abstained from intervening in libya which was the right decision from my point of view but then sending weapons to support the war that's a very bad idea and it's true i mean and this government sort of conservative right wing government i mean there's some forces who are just looking at the money they can make just looking at the export of. so they are willing really to sell out all the human rights issues they want to sell out on all the democracy movements on the arab world but i hope they are not that much of the ruling party it's really interesting talking to you thanks so much younger than i can foreign affairs expert from the left wing party joining us live in bergen thanks for being with us. one of europe's ongoing struggle to save the euro has been dealt another blow was

portugal has had its debt downgraded to junk status moody's the credit rating agency behind the move says a default is likely unless the country is given another plane out many analysts and question the logic of saddling struggling economies with more debt is speculation grows over whether the e.u. is 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 cause well he's 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 term and we should be forcing them to

downsize their expensive public sectors quite 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 gas in western europe it's not good for greece it's not good for portugal but 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 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 are 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 it's continues. well we've got plenty more pictures of the unrest surrounding the brain else at our website that's our t.v. dot com including dramatic footage of the calls from the queen paul from the violent showdown between protesters and police and continued from pour through clouds of tear gas that's on the web site also a lot of them have thought the secret to a terrible life we've got all the advice you need if you want to live forever all that and more but our team called. the mobile phone has become a part of every day more than life but what's seen as a funk 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 we come our wraps up his engine for a day of fishing off the coast of carolina the southernmost state in india has

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 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 mark rely on luck and prayer 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 where you want to be 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'll 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 is local market and the prices that 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 has the fastest growing mobile phone market in the world and the most growth is happening in rural areas what may be seen as a convenience in the west 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 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 you know about a little bit of 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 off to the arrival of the phone it's become easier for us 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 but it was 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 doubt that mobile phones have helped. providing new opportunities by advancing their tradition with technology preassure either party carola india previous to exactly twenty five minutes past the hour in russian capital but i'll post with a look at all my new stories when we talk trade with green is next with his its knees. oh welcome to our business report here on our team the currency wars all over the drive to find a way out seems to be fading brazil's finance minister says he's ready for extra steps to stem the damage and rise of the ryal according to give you one take a very economies have failed to agree on guidelines to manage their currencies we

were both from in t.x. capital says russia has no reason to join the battle. russia seems to be in a better position than some of the other developing nations there's no forget it these emerging economies are breed emerging economies so your last few years or so . russia's been around a lot longer although russia has a huge trade balance inflation is not really a major issue in russia and it does have a more developed economy so if there is a currency war between development of developed economies and emerging market economies how does the russia will be dragged into it. because the solomons are slaves. it's not a look at them the markets now a stronger dollar and high interest rates in china are pulling or a low or high rates may slow economic growth and to my oil u.s. and if you can park that is to release a report thursday that will show that crude stockpiles dropped two and a half million barrels last week. u.s. stocks are trading in the red with investors considering trying as late as interest
