diplomatic stuff between. the french the libyan rebels. the u.n. resolution. that's. the euro's woes take a turn for the. psychological support. of a radio. international news. diplomats from russia reported the clash.

of the libya. this at a meeting of the u.n. security council held behind closed doors it's believed moscow criticize the french decision to deliver weapons to gadhafi rebels which russia says was a violation of the u.n. resolution. looks now at the roots of the dispute at the u.n. . no official statements but we do know that there was a discussion and russia says such actions violate the arms embargo that was imposed on libya and the weapons supplies also breached the un mandate that was given to establish a no fly zone and protect the libyan civilians the u.n. authorization was given in the middle of march and since then nato bombings have killed scores of libyan civilians undermining the goal of the operation speaking of goals western powers have their logic of understanding the goals of the operation they say in order to protect the civilians they need to get rid of gadhafi in order to get rid of gadhafi they need to weaken his strongholds which means intense bombing of the country and that's what the forces are now actively engaged in but

by all means alone they say will not bring it desirable and to the conflict which is ousting khadafi so there needs to be action on the ground but the u.n. resolution explicitly says no foreign troops on the ground in any form and that's why they arm the rebels according to france for example but critics say that logical change takes us very far from the initial goal stated in the u.n. resolution which was to stop the massacre and nowhere in that resolution that is a forceful regime change many say nato is actions and dad meant to stop the massacre have brought about a lot of destruction not to mention that it's a direct and now a long lasting involvement in a civil war there have been reports earlier that the military has been shipping arms over the border to leave in rabble. military is very much influenced by washington as we know but those reports were never officially confirmed france was the first to acknowledge weapons supplies to the rebels in libya we're talking about rocket launchers assault rifles machine guns and anti-tank missiles there are several aspects that analysts point out in france is this dispatch apart from the

fact that he very clearly breaches the arms embargo that was imposed on libya one their radical elements among among those rebels while and there are likely to show mercy for their opponents and those arms supplies most certainly inflame the situation even more and the way it was done the weapons were parachuted from planes who knows who got ahold of them it could be kids it could. but it seems nobody cares as long as a boost the rebellion and that's the phrase used by the french as the reasoning behind the airlift to boost the rebellion but many libyans now say the last thing they want is a boost to the civil war that has taken so many lives and has torn their country apart and the other aspect that experts point out is that such a make it almost impossible for the two sides to sit down and talk and find some kind of a political solution because of the constant block chat any ma city is growing and the rift between the libyan people is getting deeper. and bricmont author of the book humanitarian imperialism told me earlier that nato will do whatever it

takes to get the job done in libya and get rid of gadhafi. if yes but we're going to go see action some of what we're going to see asian americans yes we. are. simply out of negotiation with these in favor of negotiation and. you need to see the negotiation. that worked and it's going to be. thinking that easy. because we each know months and i know it's months. three months there's you that in another few months the wolves will not go on. to something. it may go on and on. and to more on controversial arms flows germany is reportedly selling two hundred tanks to saudi arabia talks of a deal has caused outrage among germany's opposition politicians who claim the government would be breaking its own export rules the un vote arkan

a foreign affairs expert from germany's left wing party says the move compromises the country's position on democracy and human rights. 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 that it was saudi arabia who invaded bottom line with tanks by the way. to fight down there and in a bloody intervention the democracy movement so it's even in the ruling party so there is a lot of members who say we can't do this if we know i'll send two hundred monitoring to saudi arabia to that really human 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 a u. turn we will see and we had the first demonstration today and i hope that there will

be a larger movement and then yes maybe we can stop it. well coming up in a few minutes from now here in our teach shining a light on the web of international terror russia publishes a declassified list of people and groups are financing extremism in the north caucasus. and the net gains the technological revolution boosting the trade of indian fisherman mobile phones of transform their business and their lives. but first europe's ongoing struggle to save the euro has been dealt another blow as portugal has had its debt downgraded to junk status moody's the credit rating agency behind the blue 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 as speculation grows over whether the e.u. is ready to come to portugal's rescue again considering that lisbon is debt is yet to peak nothing is off the table according to. is an economist with the independent

think tank open europe. now looks like a political will need a second bailout some point in the future and that it could default put it in the same sort of financial problem sector as greece and it could have a same sort of financial market response as a greek default so obviously there are similarities but we do have to assess these countries on their independent characteristics the alternative is there will be a default in these countries at the moment the real approach just seems to be delay it for as long as possible it looks as if germany and france are dictating this and trying to protect their banks and delay the default so the banks would all be able to withstand the shock when it does come that is far from a short we've seen the rise of. tea parties particularly in finland with the true friends and with upcoming elections in germany and other countries it's likely you will see similar results in these countries people growing very tired of underwriting the bailouts for these other countries. in all these countries is yet

to peak and will continue increasing over the next year so the eventual restructuring the eventual write downs which need to be taken to just get larger not to mention as we've already spoken about the political costs of continuing these bailouts and the austerity measures. we've got plenty more pictures of the unrest surrounding the bailouts at our website www dot com including dramatic footage of one of our correspondents becoming caught up in the showdown between protesters and police and continuing to report through clouds of tear gas. and how to find the secret to eternal life we've got all the advice you need if you want to live forever all that and plenty more.

almost four months since the massive earthquake and tsunami tore through japan's northeast the daunting task of rebuilding homes and lives continues efforts are being boosted by the passing of a second emergency budget of almost twenty five billion dollars but it's one of the financial assistance traumatized are also in desperate need of emotional support a short thomas now reports. as the waves crash against a damage to sea wall on the japanese coast volunteers 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 supplies and things are still about here. beyond the physical destruction there is a distressing psychological factor as well the city of the walkie 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 any walk and in neighboring cities have tested positive

for thyroid radiation exposure a figure that has parents appalled that the government has resets the great era for 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 bay save their goal is to provide something beyond a simple entertainment for people out there who have

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 but i kept doing it. rebuilding the city one step at a time in the walkies city japan sean thomas r t. well in the wake of the crisis of fukushima japan is going to stress test all of its nuclear power plants to determine how well the reactors could withstand further

natural disasters the move is also aimed at the shoring people that the facilities are safe spoke to the director general of the world nuclear association who blames the media for stirring up public panic in japan and this interview is coming up in the next hour on r.t. . 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 the u.n. blacklist on of caucuses correspondent with. the details. i 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 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 that there are also some well known names in this list some well known groups like the muslim brotherhood. and russia's most wanted terrorist. 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 saw a chechen terrorists that are present here in this region asked of chechen rebels but now the situation has changed whether russia's most wanted man doku motto is 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 attorney is far

from being solved is an international problem. lawyers for the former chief dominique strauss kahn a meeting the prosecutors in his case of alleged sexual assault on the new york who told me reportedly pushing to get the charges dropped off the woman's credibility was called into question during the investigation meanwhile prosecutors back in france are weighing up whether to prosecute strauss kahn on similar charges complaint was going to he says tried. back in two thousand and three. was a prominent member of the french socialist party and was seen as a leading contender in next year's presidential election before the scandal broke out but even if his presidential hopes are now over paris bureau chief for newsweek magazine told me that there are still options for him to continue his political career. is certainly a huge story it's dominating all the news it's dominating all the lead up to the

presidential elections next year there's a socialist primary that's supposed to be taking place there's even questions about whether strauss kahn will register for that primary which he would have to do before the thirteenth of this month other people think there's a conspiracy against him maybe a conspiracy that involved even the president of france nicolas sarkozy all of the while this kinds of claims and counterclaims are being made right now and it is completely dominating the political life of the country in truth it doesn't look like he could pursue the presidency that would really be a strange new twist in this but he does want to have a political career and there are various possibilities that will come up over the next year or two or three there's a very good chance that there will be a socialist president although not strong scott and that if he is cleared or at least if all the charges are dropped against him could serve in that president's cabinet he could also run for president of the european union there are a lot of possibilities that he probably believes are open to him and that might well be if he is absolved of these charges. the mobile phone has become an integral

part of everyday modern life but what seen as a fungus in some countries has proven enough to revolutionize the lives and livelihoods of many people elsewhere or he's pretty shrewd of reports now in the indian fishermen who are costing the next generation network for their catch. more than kumar wraps up his engine for a day of fishing off the coast of carolina the southernmost state in india that was 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 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 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 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 last 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 it a little 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 the arrival of the phone it's become easier for us as our 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 they're illiterate 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. but look now at some other stories making headlines around the world in our world it's iranian t.v. has aired footage of surface to air missiles being test fired at dummy targets in

bucharest and kisha now 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 in towns and 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 on the 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 cancel 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 by reunification. of the romanians from the two states from romania and republic of moldova to live

in one state because. 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 both 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 will integrate. under the. european integration romania but its action is actually discrediting. 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 news we believe the main mission is the room an isolation of moldova and the deconstruction of the moldovan identity. next year which marks two hundred years since book arrest last for the first time the action twenty twelve movement is planning a massive information offensive almost always population action twenty twelve says it is not founded nor officially supported by bucharest and that their mission is peaceful form 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 three years of. taking could possible. if that's the case then it's hard to imagine any reunification in the near future
