its privatization program to spur economic growth to be prime minister should all of suggests probably privatizing fourteen state companies by two thousand and seventeen germany for more on that and business bulletin twenty minutes. just after five pm on tuesday here in moscow if you're watching artsy welcome to the program it took just a few minutes for an earthquake and tsunami to devastate swathes of japan a tragedy that will take years to recover from and for some people it's simply too much to deal with the trauma of thousands of lost lives entire towns leveled and the threat of nuclear catastrophe. now reports on the worrying rise of japanese suicides. a triple disaster on a scale the world has never known causing damage destruction and uncertainty

forcing tens of thousands of japanese refugees to leave their lives behind and seek shelter anywhere they can some people do. the bucket but the but the problem is the minority. be they have been accused by. their classmates or you know of course by offshore. causing. if. not. primarily a move towards self-preservation this idea of desertion is defined by many as characteristically ungentlemanly is and has earned of those who have evacuated the dishonorable title of traitor. of course it's hardly a year that we have family neighbors with 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 some organic farm us committed suicide because you know the. soil is everything they nurture the good soil for after many hours of hard work and just contaminated one night to go so. far so 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 timeframe in the previous ten years but the demographics are not what you might expect. increased. look in. that case here areas because some barbers struggling through. life they have not had to sit through two makes inside 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 there is a many people actually lost their jobs or working on the show was crushed. so. yeah they have

a for many good reasons to commit suicide because in japan's death toll to keep rising even though the initial disaster subsided months before in japan sean thomas forty. cleanup of the stricken fukushima nuclear plant has been prearranged by the head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog who said radiation could be contained by the end of the year yukiya amano is visiting the facility to assess the progress in preventing the nuclear crisis from getting worse because she was reactors were heavily damaged by the earthquake and tsunami has caused the cause to melt and released a dangerous amounts of radiation into the environment because i've since been trying to restore the cooling system and stop contaminated water from the reactors leaking into the sea but hiroshima based a nuclear energy expert robert jacobs believes the i.a.e.a. visit is a farce or the japanese government still isn't doing enough to protect people in essence what this is is just just trying to give

a nice shine to terrible terrible situation in policy and not really in any way to dealing with the actual problems that are facing a syringe and least plants are still leaching radioactivity into the environment every day into the sea and through the steam of the cooling into the air and what's what's 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 of that distance and additionally besides that there's still a rather chaotic policy about what will be happening in the areas that were contaminated near the plants but outside of the evacuation zone for example pushing a city we know that they need to go tokyo electric when the government inform the

public when they knew that there had been four nuclear meltdowns people were not told to evacuate at that time and in terms of the current situation there is a great deal of pain. especially among parents going fukushima prefecture and nearby that there is not a comprehensive system to try to protect the health of the people in those areas so you're seeing meetings every couple of days in which government officials are being yelled out 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 situation is in many ways here in japan compounding. but there was a nuclear energy expert robert jacobs in hiroshima explaining the current situation . with r.t. now we're at obama is calling on the american people to step up to the plate and pressure the politicians in dealing with the debt standoff congress has one week

left to raise the country's multi-trillion dollar debt ceiling if it wants to avoid a potentially devastating default in a nationwide address obama warned that an american default would impact around the world if he claimed republicans were still in talks and refusing to accept a balanced approach republican speaker john boehner hit back accusing obama of spending beyond the country's means and expecting a blank check republicans and democrats have been locked in a dispute over whether spending cuts or tax hikes is the answer to that crisis washington watcher matthew futterman says the government needs to act fast to avoid an investor exodus. the 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

cards 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. american government's ability to pay its debts then the u.s. will have nowhere to run to the u.s. with the only would it the only choice it would have would be to keep printing money to inflate the currency run the printing presses and risk devastating hyperinflation or the u.s.

government would have to drastically cut spending and implement pretty severe austerity measures. that way some of us past the hour here in moscow you with are still ahead for you changing the charge for arguably in no ways worst peacetime atrocity please consider whether the man who admits slaughtering seventy six people should now be charged with crimes against humanity or not more of a bit later in the program. wealthy british style. market. why not what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report. a mission. critique three.

a little bit of desperation especially because when you look at the build clause which is you can dismantle it you'll nuclear program first and then we decided to talk to you that's an absolute no no i was in north korea last year and i confirmed from north korean officials directly debt this state awfully is the same state of play as it was fifty eight years ago to morrow to morrow is the fifty year any adversity of the armistice that did not end in north korean war for that matter north korea south korea feel at war with each other if there's an armistice in the north koreans are seen we have to sit down the same date with the americans and then we formally and the war in this we're going to discuss everything including the nuclear program so this state department now is trying to joke they're going to said ok first you get rid of your nuclear weapons that are there for long this is and then we talk so or was it in our careers are going to watch this special envoy

is going to watch is going to say look our position has been the same for the question. years take it or leave first you have to end the war it's true and the war from the north korean point of view is a war against america is not south korea the view it as a bloc in the government of the americas and the view that south korea in the minds of the young will force if you all killed by 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 no less you start to i really doubt this basic difference is important it's absolutely impossible to even start talking. now quarter past the hour here in moscow the man who's confessed to killing seventy six people in a rampage in norway may be charged with crimes against humanity thirty two year old anders a prolific has already been charged in court with terrorism which he denies the

a new plan in an article in the bed of mr nice paper he's suggesting for privatization of fourteen state companies by two thousand and seventeen however according to the plan the government will keep controlling stakes in infrastructure companies like russian waste and transmit. the idea of the privatisation was floated last year with initially ten companies but now i think we were over twenty companies some of them might have money they're going to raise it's going from something like thirty trillion to twenty billion dollars ten percent of g.d.p. this isn't the money necessary because russia has approached a certain needs of money it's more about modernization of taking companies inefficient companies away from state managers and putting them into the privatization sector i believe very much this is were a series of. stages of privatization transition the state is a crucial role of pushing the economy forward it's the people who are economic. but
