ten am in the russian capital you're watching r.c.m. marina joshing they had of the international atomic watchdog is visiting japan's fukushima nuclear plant for the first time since march as devastating earthquake and tsunami u.k. amado has promised to help was there we're covering the effort and discuss what aid is needed at the meeting was the country's prime minister as well as killing thousands the natural disaster is cause the plants reactor cores to melt and leak dangerous amounts of radiation into the environment but the i.a.e.a. chief says the workers at the klan's are capable of bringing the leak under control by early next year as planned residents evacuated from a town close to the area held up the late of a memorial for the data missing on their radiative no man's land but even many of those who survived are struggling with their own new. clear nightmare artist john

thomas explains. a triple disaster on a scale the world has never known causing damage and destruction and uncertainty forcing tens of thousands of japanese refugees to leave their lives behind and seek shelter anywhere they can something of a do. bucket but the but the problem is they are a minority they be they have been accused. by their classmates or you know of course my options. that they are causing. found. the people who make these. primarily a move towards self-preservation this idea of desertion is defined by many as characteristically ungentle unease and has earned those who have evacuated the dishonorable title of traitor. of course it's hard to hear that we have family neighbors we think about our health but in other words we run away we escape

because we're scared of radiation but there is 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 are some organic farmers committed suicide because you know the war won it for us soil is everything. good soil all after many hours of hard work and it's just coming at it one night to go so. far it's inside out i'm very sad to hear

the news and many other farmers are also very much impressed 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. great increase that. edge centers. but if your area is because suburbs struggling through you costs are rife and they have not had to mix and say 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 last year disaster many people actually lost their jobs or they are working on this own

house crushed. so. yeah they have a for many a good reason to commit suicide because in japan's death toll to keep rising even though the initial disaster has subsided months before in japan sean thomas forty. coming up here on r t syria get serious about political freedom we ask whether a democratic president austin's government will help and the ongoing violence or help him hold onto power. president barack obama has turned to the public 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 and calculable economic damage a bollard blamed republicans in the house of representatives for the lack of a deal to avoid a u.s. national default congress has just a week to raise the fourteen point three trillion dollars it is living through it

runs out of money risking a downgrade of its credit that would mean higher interest rates and republicans and democrats have been locked in a dispute over whether spending cuts or tax hikes is the answer to the debt crisis massive adam senior editor at the capital research center says the government needs to raise its borrowing limit 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's cause 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 have faith in the u.s. government and 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. would be 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 matthew that a senior editor at the capital research center from washington d.c.

comcast days after a top envoy from the north and south korea sat together for the first time in over two years on the sidelines of a security summit in indonesia there they agreed to renew the six party talks over young yang's atomic emissions irritations were halted after a north korea shelled downtown islands killing for what it said were military drills in south by the south however the u.s. secretary of state says before any deal is discussed or theory a must first dismantle its nuclear facilities aerosol opulent father of the national campaigns and the korean war says america should the stand in the play of a peaceful solution is that. we forget that you know if you can reach agreements even with people you have profound differences with the word exercises where we say simulate landing two hundred thousand troops and taking over pyongyang

and defending against 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 up 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 for a long 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

financial crisis is 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 there are so i'm very concerned that in the next decade the financial stresses that all of europe is going to face are going to is going to help these far right groups 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 eye opening or right groups are going to be increasing credence and popularity in the next few years. throughout europe 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 tables caustic ideologies back on the fringes where they belong now some other top headlines from around the world nato airstrikes have caused a fire at a food storage complex in northern libyan city torn between his forces and the nato support of the rebels meanwhile forty kilometers to the east in opposition held misrata government forces burn one of the we constrained her from the u.n. envoy to media held talks with rebel council in the ghazi a monday but the sides were unable to come up with a peaceful solution to the conflict because these ongoing civil war started in february with nato joining in march. possible has sand forces through its northern border with serbia to force an import ban imposed last week the move has led to a rise in ethnic tensions with local serbs resisting the police presence he's

a blow for the ruling national party which opposes divorce. syria's government has adopted a draft law allowing rival political parties to be created and decades of domination by president austin's ruling baath party opposition groups have been banned since the military coup and nine hundred sixty three the last part of reforms promised by president asad to put on the answer more than four months of protests against his government over a fifteen hundred civilians have been killed and thousands more detained since uprisings began in march however political theorist benjamin 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. our powers. rule and. you know the words if they do

more than just a formality. all of. this is anything more than a. stall for a while. and i believe that in the end. i would suggest that the united states and the western powers are hypocritical they talk about change but of course they haven't really put any pressure. on syria. for example. i don't see anyone really moving to look for an alternative the fact is. i think they're very worried about what the alternative might look like so i

suspect that while they will continue to posture public and. little to actually remove keno and therefore he will make some noise about multi-party democracy. but in reality he will hang tough. believe that very little change. the british ministry of the fans has apologized after one of its attack helicopters a one hundred five children by mistake and against him 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 and i wore activist lindsey german thinks it's time for the alliance to admit the failure of its afghan campaign i think that it will convince more people in afghanistan the war isn't helping them but it is actually killing and injuring more and more people so it isn't working it isn't

going to work when you have a war where the risk of growing insurgency will carry all sorts of people who are victims of this and children are obviously one of the worst of the casualties the only solution to this is the so 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're there in

order to prop up a government that they have no real confidence in they are there 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. thousands from the start the work whole issue well when it comes to the dating game in russia it really is about world and there are ten million more where the man of the country forcing some to turn to uncle vessel bets to buy a log whether that means a better half as more like several barack waters are to single or if a national reports. need some degree in father three and husband of three and never use again andrei got married two years on he proposed again and then again. why should i refuse any of the middle i love them all really why the country's demographic realities andree side including to the latest census there
