in japanese and has earned those who have evacuated the dishonorable title of traitor. of course it's hard to hear that we have family neighbors would think about our health but in other words we run away with gay because we're scared of radiation but there's no example in the world of something similar and the consequences are still ongoing. while those who have moved to shelters here in tokyo are facing that guilt and the pressure to move back home there are others who have lost everything cannot handle the overwhelming change and they are facing even darker demons japan already has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and following the disaster in march the government has issued a warning about a possible nationwide epidemic of depression. here. organic farmers committed suicide because you know the. soil is everything they have good soil for after many. just.

one thing to go so. far so i'm very sad to hear the news and many other also very much depressed a recent national survey in japan performed by dr roshini and his team shows that suicide rates in japan have been found increased in the months since the disaster compared to the same timeframe in the previous two years but the demographics are not what you might expect. a rate increase. note. that is because. striving to. they have not had to make suicide this disaster has certainly taken its toll on japan's economy and such constant reminders of an intense topic can harm the collective psyche of the people who live here as well because of the. tsunami disaster plus

nuclear disaster many people lost their jobs or their working conditions has crushed. so. yeah they have of so many good reasons to commit suicide causing japan's death toll to keep rising even though the initial disaster subsided months before in japan sean thomas forty. coming up syria get serious about political freedom we ask whether a democratic jest here by president asif government will help and ongoing violence or helping to hold on to power. president barack obama has turned to the pa. for help in pushing through a deal on its debt he wants americans to put pressure on congress to find a compromise and a televised national address he warned that failing to raise the debt ceiling will cause incalculable economic damage bob blame republicans in the house of

representatives for the lack of a deal to avoid a u.s. national default congress just a week to raise the fourteen point three trillion dollars debt limit before it runs out of money risking a downgrade of its credit that would mean higher interest rates republicans and democrats have been locked in a dispute over whether spending cuts or tax hikes is the answer to the debt crisis matthew that i'm senior editor of the capital research center says the government needs to raise its borrowing limits to keep investors. obama and the democrats in congress just want to keep on spending. and so they would like to see the debt ceiling raised so that they can continue to give rewards to their supporters among the labor unions and the various political organizations that are sympathetic to the democratic party because the u.s. is able to keep raising its debt ceiling because people investors around the world have confidence in the united states they believe that the u.s.

government will honor its outstanding obligations and so as long as people have faith in the investors and faith in the u.s. government in its credit worthiness then the u.s. could keep raising its debt ceiling the problem right now is that the debt is so high that that in itself is starting to become a negative factor that could lead to a credit rating downgrade of the united states government if china loses confidence in. america the american government's ability to pay its debts then the u.s. will have nowhere to run to the u.s. with the only the only choice it would have would be. to keep printing money to inflate the currency run the printing presses and risk devastating hyperinflation so that's about the only or the u.s. government would have to drastically cut spending and implement pretty severe

austerity measures. massive adam senior editor of the capital research center from washington d.c. we are closely following developments on the american financial scene on our web site so you can go to our team dot com for the latest updates and. now as the whole of america counts down days until the fall of wall street high flyers are bracing themselves for a rocky ride. this life is a joke and it's. that's going to sweep really is going. in the u.s. are choosing to ignore the problem by dressing up as superheroes and attending the annual comic-con convention. a senior north korean diplomat has been invited to new york in an attempt to revive

long stalled talks over his country's conover film nuclear program discussion has been suspended since two thousand and nine the moves come just days after top analysts from the north and south korea sat together for the first time in over two years on the sidelines of a security summit and indonesia there are they agreed to renew six party talks over pyongyang's atomic ambitions however the u.s. secretary of state says before any deal can be agreed north korea must first dismantle its nuclear facilities every surat can tell founder of a national campaign to end the korean war says america should stand in a way of a peaceful solution. we forget that you know if you can reach agreements even with people you have profound differences with the word exercises where we simulate landing two hundred thousand troops and taking over beyond yang and defending against each other types of attacks only serves to amp it up and certainly the comments and expressions from the north don't help either so you have both sides

who need to step back and certainly begin to look at peaceful exercises of their relationship there north korea has not indeed as always indicated that for a peace treaty and formalized relations with the united states that it would give up its nuclear weapon capability that has always been on the table and we should be grabbing that as a real opportunity because more than one hundred fifty countries have normalized relations with the north and we need formal channels to begin to deal with these things like jimmy carter and former ambassadors have been saying and our campaign along with many others are beginning to help washington move from demonization to engagement which is really necessary for any systematic change on the way here on our team why have one when you can have manny. what a growing number of for russian women desperate to tie the knot some are willing to

going to make it much more difficult to combat the message of these far right groups in times of economic stress it is distressingly easy for people to look for scapegoats and unfortunately it's human nature to seek out scapegoats that look different than us who have different customs that i'll start i'm very concerned that in the next half decade though financial stresses that all of europe is going to face are going to is going to help these far right i am concerned but it is a real trend sadly while economic hardship has not caused this i think it is likely to exacerbate what we're seeing and i think that looking at just the scandinavian countries it is actually i don't think far right groups are going to gain increasing credence and popularity in the next few years throughout europe which is worryingly close to almost

a century approach and we really need to hope that our leaders throughout europe will do more to put these type of caustic ideologies back on the fringes where they belong. now some other top headlines from around the world are airstrikes have caused a fire at the storage complex in northern libya the blazes in the city of the town which is torn between colonel could obvious forces and the nato supported rebels while forty kilometers to the east in opposition held misrata government forces burned one of the region's major fuel depos the un envoy to libya held talks with the rebel council and ghazi on monday but the sides were unable to come up with a peaceful solution to the civil war. the. cost of war has sent forces through its northern border with serbia to enforce an import ban imposed last week the move has led to a rise in ethnic tensions with local serbs resisting the police presence the authorities

adopted a draft law allowing rival political parties to be created decades of domination by president assad's ruling baath party opposition groups have been banned since a military coup in nine hundred sixty. the law is part of reforms promised by president. four months of protesting government fifteen hundred civilians have been thousands more. uprisings began in march however political. barber believes the law is nothing more than an empty gesture it is not anything but formal and technical change the reality is this government cannot afford to have a genuine multi-party. approach because the parties that will be empowered powers that want to. rule and the end of bashar assad in other words if they do more than just a formality it will lead to the fall of. believe that this is anything more than

a. stall for a while. i do not believe it will lead to multi-party democracy and i do not believe that in the end. i would suggest that the united states and the western powers are being hypocritical they talk about change but of course they haven't really put any pressure. on syria the kind that they have put on libya for example and i don't see any nato planes preventing civilian casualties i don't see anyone really moving to look for an alternative the fact is. bashar assad but he is the known evil and i think they're very worried about what the unknown alternative might look like so i suspect that while they will continue to posture in public and pretend. the regime they will do little to

actually remove assad he knows that and therefore he will make some nice noises about multi-party democracy and about accommodation but in reality he will hang tough and i believe that very little will change. the british ministry of defense has apologized after one of its attack helicopters one hundred five children by mistake in afghanistan according to the u.n. the number of civilians killed by nato airstrikes has gone up with the death toll this year alone standing at seventy nine anti-war activist lindsey german sayings it's time for the alliance to admit the failure of its afghan campaign i think it will just convince more people in afghanistan that the war isn't helping them but it is actually killing and injuring more and more people so isn't working isn't going to work when you have a war where the risk of growing insurgency will bring me all sorts of people who are victims of various and children are obviously one of the worst of the

casualties the only solution to this is to say you war isn't working it has there is absolutely no justification for the nato forces to be there and that they should withdraw the troops this is now coming up to the tenth anniversary of the war and there is absolutely no question that this war is not getting better it is getting worse it is almost certain that whatever settlement eventually comes in afghanistan it will involve the taliban in some capacity nearly everybody now recognizes this so what is the point of continuing this war the point of continuing this war is because the americans and the british and their allies cannot admit defeat in the second country after what happened in iraq that is why they're there they in order to prop up a government that they have no real confidence in they are very in order to save their own faces they are there to protect their interests they're not there to protect the ordinary afghans and we've seen this again this week i was in the

german from the stop the war coalition. now when it comes to the dating game when russia really is a man's world there are ten million more women than men of the country forcing sound to turn to unconventional methods to find love even if that means a better half as more like several better quaters are to single marry if a national reports. meet him dream a father of three and has been to three and other years ago andrei got married two years own he proposed to ghana and then again. why should i refuse any of them if i love them all really why the country's demographic realities andries side including to the latest census there are ten million more women in russia than there are mean the shortage of supply leads to the need for sharing a concept with andries wives say they've made peace with it or thought i thought he
