in the movie joyce below to the home of venus the gateway to the grand imperial truly george was. the socialist that you see don't need to go and. read this and the colonel was her turn to retreat. the atomic agency chief makes his first visit to japan's crippled fukushima plant as the country's nuclear nightmare continues for months after a devastating earthquake and tsunami. countdown to crisis president obama appealed to the public to pressure congress into a compromise over its debt ceiling with just a week before a potential default. to top a north korean diplomat is invited to the u.s. for talks on it resuming stalled nuclear disarmament negotiations just days off the envoys from north and south better for the first time in.

a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow with me sushi the head of the international atomic watchdog is a visiting japan's fukushima nuclear plant for the first time since march as devastating earthquake and tsunami yukiya amano has promised to help with the recovery effort and discussed what aid is needed a meeting with the country's prime minister and his killing thousands natural disasters caused the plant's a reactor of course to melt and leak dangerous amounts of radiation into the environment but the i.a.e.a. chief says the workers at the plant are capable of bringing the leak under control by early next year as planned residents evacuated from a town close to the area held a belated memorial for the dead and missing only a radiator no man's land but even many of those who survived are struggling with

their own nuclear nightmare sean 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 to do. but create but the of the problem is they are a minority they be they have been accused by. their classmates or you know of course by or show. that they are causing. found that. people weak is not. primarily a move towards self-preservation this idea of desertion is defined by many as characteristically 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

members we think about our health but in other words we ran away with kate because we're scared of radiation but there's no example in the world of something similar and the consequences are their 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 i mean so so because you know. soil is everything they've now if you're that good soil. after many years of hard work and it's just contaminated one thing to go so. far.

i'm very sad to hear the news and many other farmers are also very much depressed a recent national survey in japan performed by dr roshini and his team shows that suicide rates in japan have in fact increased in the months since the disaster compared to the same time frame in the previous two years but the demographics are not what you might expect. increase. in the. centers. but if you're areas you cause some by both struggling to yeah. right they have not had to suit them 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 plus if we're

disaster many people actually lost their jobs or their working on the show has crashed. so. yeah they have a for many good reasons to commit suicide because in japan's death toll to keep rising even though the little disaster has subsided months before in japan sean thomas orci. based nuclear energy expert robert jacobs believes the visit of the i.a.e.a. chief to fukushima is a farce he claims the japanese government still isn't doing enough to protect people from the effects of the disaster. in essence what this is is just just trying to give a nice shine to a terrible terrible situation and policy and not really in any way peeling with the actual problems that are facing us here and and in terms of the problems with the nuclear plants the situation is rather dire still these plants are still leeching radioactivity into the environment every day into the sea and through the steam of

the cooling into the air which now preoccupied many people in japan is that even for those of us that live far enough away that we thought we were not in any way threatened by the radiation from the plants we're now finding that because of insufficient oversight to the food supply and public health questions that radiation is turning up in all kinds of food products so you're finding now people in far away from fukushima areas are now beginning to realize that they're not going to be escaping the radiation because at that distance there is a great deal of anger especially among parents in fukushima prefecture and nearby that there is not a comprehensive system to try to protect that all of the people in those areas so you're seeing meetings every couple of days in which government officials are being yelled at by local residents who are complaining that they're not being given enough information about the health threats to their children and their families and this information is in many ways here in japan compounding. with

r.t. now 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 in a televised national address he warned that failing to raise the debt ceiling will cause in calculable economic damage obama blamed republicans in the house of representatives for the lack of a deal to avoid a u.s. national default congress has just one 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 are being locked in a two state over whether spending cuts or tax hikes are the answer to the debt crisis matthew great i'm a senior editor of the capital research center says the government needs to raise its boring limit in order 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 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. would be only would it be 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. in the meantime the u.s. speaker of the house has hit bottom of the president's criticism of the standoff in congress john boehner said there will be no blank check for obama because the government spending is out of control the republican believes the solution to the debt crisis is not complicated if you spend more than you take you have to spend less because they're just increasing the debt ceiling by one trillion dollars that's an amount that would last only about six months and then tying future increases through an agreement own guns. but we are closely monitoring the

developments on the american financial scene on our web site of course our team called they can get the latest updates and all sorts of various videos to a for example of i've been home for america counts down days until default wall street high flyers of bracing themselves for a rocky ride. this is a joke and it's a no let's get it sweet really is going. to ignore the problem by dressing up as super heroes and attending the annual convention. with r.t. live from moscow worth an hour ten minutes to know a senior north korean diplomat has been invited to new york in an attempt to revive the long stalled talks over its country's controversial nuclear program the move

comes to play the part and voice from the north and south korea sat together for the first time in over two years on the sidelines of a security summit in the media there they agreed to renew the six party talks over pyongyang's atomic ambitions because your actions were halted after north korea shelled a young killing four people saying it was responding to provocative military drills however the u.s. secretary of state says before any deal is discussed north korea must first dismantle its nuclear facilities but i ask about an asia times correspondent said that north korea feels like it's at war with the u.s. which it sees as an occupying power. well it makes a little bit of desperation especially because when you look at the build cause which is you will dismantle it you'll nuclear program first and then we decided to talk to you that's an absolute no i was in north korea last year and i confirmed

from north korean officials directly that. this state awfully is the same state of glee as it was fifty eight years ago to morrow to morrow is the fifth year anniversary of the parliament that did not end the north korean war for that matter north korea south korea are still at war it would ensure that there's an armistice and the north koreans are see we have to sit down the same people with the americans and then we call you to formally and to war and then we're going to discuss here a scene including the nuclear program so this state apartment i was trying to joke began to say first you get rid of your nuclear weapons either it happened on this isn't it we talk so or does it in our careers are going to watch them especially when war is going to watch is going to seal. look our position has been the same for the better if the year stake it or leave it and the war from the dark korean point of view is a war against america is not south korea the few it as

a puppet government of the americas and asia that south korea in the minds of the union will force is still all q guided by american troops there are thirty six to thirty eight thousand u.s. troops but the north korea says it has a western occupation of south korea so the less you start to cry i really doubt this basic difference is important it's absolutely positive and start talking from the point of view of the chinese gets even more complicated because china wants this battle splode to go on i would say for ever they don't want korean reunification they think that korea would be in the extreme leap powerful player if it soonish fired the north east asia they prefer sayings as they stand at the moment as long as u.s. doesn't have full spectrum dominance ideas of trying to control the yellow sea so you know what you can see that you know there's problems going to look like

missiles between everywhere. that's asia times correspondent speaking right there where you are with r.t. and on the way why have one when you can have many but a growing number of russian women desperate to tie the knot some are willing to accept being wife number two or even a wife number three. norway's prime minister says his country will remain an open society in time more processions for the victims of friday's twin terrorist attack have been hell throughout the nation over a hundred thousand gathered in the capital to mark the deaths of seventy six people flowers and candles were used to commemorate those massacred in the shooting at an island youth camp and the bombing of a government building in oslo the man who admitted the atrocities has been charged with terrorism a closed court hearing and will be held in isolation for four weeks and as a bearing a pleaded not guilty saying he wanted to save society from an immigrant's invasion

group and germany's eon have put the finishing touches to their new power plants in siberia for an energy giants are the leading investors in russia's liberalized market building more new capacity than russian firms that help recover explains. the generators are turning creating much needed electricity last year power companies built a record for gigawatts of capacity enough to power a quarter of moscow and its foreign firms which provided bill lion's share of the investment and major maestro never ready because of the market this liberalized of the reserve regulatory frame or there are markets or capacity in the and they energy what we wish is to progress with this in making it more functioning russia opened its power sector four years ago privatizing most generating capacity during the crisis some russian firms failed to me the investment obligations while

foreigners increased their market share for a mess on nine percent of capacity. but the commission seventy eight percent or new units generators are now asking regulators for predictability this year the russian government current price rises to fifteen percent we generated feel lost the millions but that hasn't stopped the flaking off switches that you are going to call the business our team. into the markets now starting with crude oil is trading marginally up and that's despite u.s. president warning the countries that the presence of damage the u.s. economy which is the world's largest crude consumer. you markets opened flat so there wasn't much of a direction and now that seems that the sending into the red bank profits beat expectations well u.b.s. profits fell short the automakers are driving the dax down in frankfurt.

and decided it still is the russian market the other two years going up point two percent my six going down by the same amount take a look at some the main movers on the mice so when it comes to energy stocks it's all mixed to gas from our point two percent lukoil down point three percent seems investors are really interested in some kind of catalyst to start selling we're buying gold is our point six percent after its doors a company kazakh all purchased eighty nine percent of the company from a reverse takeover. russian equities are been heavily influenced by the events in the u.s. and in europe but you're going to go to mass about africa to stocks that are less affected. i would like to single out problems burbank which i believe is not so much exposed near the true european or to you as problems. in the financial sector of the stock show outperformance also like some resource stories like nova

track and a roll call or which are showing last promise during the past couple of months so i do believe the stock's got a bit better than the market and the. nearest time gas problem still looks cheap but well it's a hard stalking story for investors. but basically it looks quite cheap in comparison to international oil and gas majors headlines are next with rory or know and do stay with us.
