11:07 am
problem which is the people of europe have been lost because the the president of france faces an election next year where he's already trailing behind his rivals and. this may make you even more of a popular because the people of your part of the north but in polls in opinion polls they say that they don't use want to exclude the european integration. charles of germany says they've shown great courage to do this and they dismissed the use of euro boredoms which many have said would be the solution agreed eventually they said the europeans are not a miracle they're not a cure and france and germany won't guarantee other countries did so they refused to pay the roys problems in countries like italy and spain they also denounce the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this the rumors that they say are trying to bring down the euro tax on financial transactions was also announced

. that the purpose was to harmonize economies and taxes across europe so a very wide range of proposals on offer here. but some experts are skeptical about whether the recovery measures proposed by berlin and paris well help the euro in the long run political analyst and author and william and all thanks to you needs to work outside the west to secure its financial future. i think the collective economic government that american and sarkozy are talking about is really a desperate political ploy to try to create the illusion of stability where the underlined stability doesn't yet exist there is no political will not in germany nor in the rest of the eurozone countries for as surrendering national sovereignty to a collective entity that has any decision power so it's simply a shimmer that's been thrown out there to try to calm the markets the alternative really is is to get a stable export market relations i think above all with russia the central asian

republics china and the rest of asia in the middle east and if that is is created then you can have a growth vector that leads you out of this debt impasse that the eurozone countries are in without that and so long as as the dollar system dominates international financial relations that moody's standard and poor's do the rating on sovereign debt for european union countries and that there is no independent european credit rating agency and there isn't is no. growth perspective not only austerity but there is no out of this crisis. human rights groups are boycotting a british inquiry into allegations of torture saying the government is taking an irresponsible approach to the case activist insists the probe is a waste of time and public money because downing street will have the final say over whether or not to disclose the results of his lawyer and that one torture

human rights groups so much that they've refused to give evidence or go to inquiry meetings. there's also control to see about the chair of the investigation so peter gibson used to be the intelligence services commissioner the government doesn't see a conflict of interest but many m.p.'s do we have to have confidence that the judge presiding is not somebody who has been heavily involved with secret service in the future in the past and i think on that point it fails powerful people including tony blair jack straw and david miliband have refused to reveal whether they knew the policy led to a number of people being tortured but the ministers and agents who wrote it knew the public would be outraged according to the guardian it includes warnings that if it got out the policy could lead to increased radicalization. agrees it's true anybody would get radicalized if you hear about the cups of torture that took place however when the government said that they will hold to account those people who
11:13 am
were involved in torture and we take them to the wood and if the government goes against. it it's going to be in secret you won't get to see those people involved in your torture and then people will lose. any support any idea that the government is actually going to try to. carry out justice many fear the inquiries that speak it surely will be ineffective but the second one will be necessary out boss to explain but there's also concern that creeping revelations about just how complex it the u.k. has been in torture and extraordinary rendition will lead to further radicalize ation whatever happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture your and it's r.t. younger. still ahead for you this hour here on our to the worst oil spill in decades in british waters we have to you on the disaster of a green groups

11:22 am
cracks have been found at the plant and that it's releasing radioactive steam they also say that pipes and at least one of the reactors were seriously damaged before the devastating tsunami hit the area in march but the allegations raise concern that the facility was doomed even before the earthquake try. the disaster problems with terri orating heights at the plant had been reported for years a cooling system failed to stop reactors going into meltdown after it was hit by forty meter forty meter high waves the plan has been leaking radioactive material since the disaster despite efforts to clean it up after robert take care of some of its institute says the evidence brings into question the past and. there's certainly a great deal of evidence that appears to suggest that the first reactor reactor number one was melting down by the time the tsunami hit so if that's the case that the reactor was melting down as a result of the earthquake and not as
11:23 am
a result of this tsunami a nine point zero earthquake or something that has the potential to happen throughout japan and that would put the reliability and the design safety of all of these reactors in question so when you have a fragile structure that's already suffered a great deal of damage and you have continual counter shots at the level of six point zero there's there's been some even higher. what we have now is we have the radioactive core that has melted down into the basement into the bottom of the containment vessel of these reactors and if the radiation level is going down where it's being monitored inside the buildings and if the water pressure is going down and the temperature is going down it's not as though the radiation is just suddenly going away it means that the radioactive material the melted core is simply moving further away from where it's being measured earthquakes even when they happen at a high level they're not individual events that are followed by a series of subsequent earthquakes and so we're seeing now that these reactors were
11:24 am
not safe for earthquakes let alone for tsunamis. if the live business update with kareena here on r.t. stay with us. thanks for joining me all the seventeenth has a dark day in russian history it's not a country to claim it's only to fall back in one thousand nine hundred eight cockatoo enough for include prices and the asian crisis russia was caught short broad national guard of capital says we're not in line for a perfect storm to the ninety ninety eight crisis made so that i would look like a walk in the park ninety nine zero eight the equity market lost ninety three percent of its value last week though the russian market lost about fifteen percent of its value it hurt but it was nothing compared to the one nine hundred ninety eight russia has moved on a lot further for you know russia russia now it performs alongside
