there are allegations of violations committed by both rebels and colonel gadhafi as troops rebels are still fighting pockets of kid off the loyalist but to the capital last month all with nato help but some people in tripoli say so far the fruits of the revolution are uncertainty and fear of the future. reports. the da few free tripoli just can't stop chanting to celebrate the birth of you. all remind us of a recently overthrown dictatorship are suppressed what used to bring nightmares to some for decades is now a cause for lost her father south is curly hair we call him because his hair is so long and he doesn't cut it and they're ugly actually but some are not smiling believe in the past gadhafi freedom is nothing but the miraj a crime has been the rest of three times in the last two weeks rebels interrogated

him and took his documents the reason the twenty seven year old copilot says is his family's ties with gadhafi his regime we cover his face and change his name in supposedly free libya this man is afraid of being thrown to jail again or even killed you can say a bad words about gadhafi but you can say about the bad war's about terrible and about to be a national icon for what they are talking about democracy this is not the work of a crime says libya didn't get rid of a dictatorship but only fell into another one of the rebels' weapons in a city where the gun has become a common accessory just like a cell phone and where one can only cross the town's numerous checkpoints with an obligatory a large bar to the winners this is a reality not hard to believe. know everybody we are happy we are freedom good the feel is good run away this is not true believe me because they are fair to

all have a good laugh are turned back to tripoli you see the same people same people same person nothing they are supporting a revolution can bring much hope but what comes afterwards is often different those who drove. egypt's wrinkled face year was too on the streets this weekend seven months after tough and president mubarak and we asked him like of trying to bring some reforms future to she was far from the past gadhafi libyan capital has been the scene of euphoria with celebrate three gunfire and singing heard here around the clock for more than a fortnight old ready like all parties however some believe they could be serious hangover after wards in the form of retribution and uncertainty as to how the future a country will be governed reason ocean auti tripoli libya. well let's get more on the situation in the arab world from after his doctor chandra was

a far joining us from malaysia but from a foreign thank you very much for being here with us in the program the levy is now controlled by rebel forces so what kind of a country will become under the new government in your opinion. it's a very a. nation. for two rig number one. i think there is quite a bit of. the crew will. need to either the tribal war or even the dual. said was we need for the oil to be the we will be. with all. the bread and the like you know the other. the do it is related to the will. because the. whole opel parrot.

you have. the line the magnitude of which will come who fled with nothing but the mongol crippling you have lived will. always exist with reform within and. if you would like to read the who's the associated with the duck you read the wheel of his visual. and the weather being what together. they would be that they should. get stronger and stronger we go. i think. we should. know what that big it would be the. point. well you know let's now switch for a while to another country that's in turmoil which is a point here and talk about its fate with nato saying that it has no plans to

intervene there how much of a chance is there that it may make a u. turn and we may see the next media style campaign carried out when you know it did. the kind of life. we. when many men when they deal and other phones and we decide who should be. at the moon there are various classes who should be able have to we number one. i'm being no business but. so like a lot of the people in the city when the mill clear to them cracks women is. if you look at the all bills and the almost the same thing with. we'll be looking at his cabinet if we live to. be.

with one of we back with the big. we only will have to really look at what is possible in the media because the wish and the media's fault of the moment they don't want to get into a situation in the area where they had to be but it truly minded there is he that hail of the birds and the burdens of the input but between bibi i think. there is no don't fool with sense of mind to win. and he's turning to. trying to shape he'd been in why because period. of the group who.

grew up. there very. all right mr chandra was a far thank you very much indeed for sharing your views with us here on r.t. . still have for you the south for the extremes of tourism. craving first hand experience of a post-apocalyptic world secret way inside exclusion zone around the nuclear plant in ukraine. and this is the side that will welcome iran's president in new york when he visits for the u.n. general assembly next week. it's deja vu time for the greek economy once again and there is speculation it's close to default thanks to a soaring budget deficit in athens mainlander isn't helping the situation was allies of the german chancellor suggesting greece may need to default and leave the single currency by financial journalist a matchmaker phina says there is no mechanism to exit the euro. there are different

ways that the european central bank and the e.u. could go about dealing with a default in greece or an exit of greece portugal or some of the peripheral countries they could break the euro into two different types of euro but the fact that no one is willing to talk about that option openly and kind of admit that that's where we are with an unsustainable debt like greece has and now the fact that the country is the size of italy which is no longer really able to access the markets the way that they're accessing that for the markets but the e.c.b. isn't there buying spanish debt so the fact that you have these countries on able to issue debt paper on their own is is frightening for the european union for the eurozone there is no real exit mechanism from the euro if you're part of the v.m. you are part of it supposedly for life ok and so we saw how chaotic it was when argentina. default on its debt and exited the dollar peg in the case of greece it's not even a peg they've given up their currency their french banks that are that are potentially

on the hook with a lot of greek debt now who's exposed to those french banks then who is exposed the banks that are closed the french banks a lot of the banks prefer an environment like they've had now which is we can lever up as much as we want doesn't matter and if we lose we just get bailed out there they're they have structurally adjusted their business model and their profit making mechanism to this new environment which has been perpetual bailouts that we've seen since one nine hundred eighty. america needs all the cash it can get at the moment one idea being mooted to save billions of dollars a year is a reduction in the number of people being kept behind bars however one group of people has a vested interest in keeping prisons as well as possible so as marine important i found out. america's financial crisis has been something of an unsafe monster swallowing up millions of jobs homes and businesses throughout the nation yet amid this ongoing economic armageddon one industry has remained recession proof

. private prisons. with more than two point three million people behind bars the united states trumps china russia and the rest of the world in both the number and percentage of people doing time where it falls short though is being capable of containing such a large population it's a political dilemma turned cash cow for dozens of corporations creaming profits off punishment private prisons make money off of incarceration the more people they lock up and the longer they keep them the more money they make so they have the same perverse incentive to expand our justice system and increase our number of people or our number of citizens who are behind bars because it increases their profit margin. the profitability of private jails depends on the prison population continuing to go up the rate of incarceration in the us has quadrupled since the eighty's when america's war on drugs are short in the three strikes policy which ties judges to mandatory minimum sentencing even for nonviolent offenders since the

late eighty's and into the ninety's and now today we see a turn away from that rehabilitated model so across the country prison programming is cut rehabilitation is being cut there's less opportunities for education to gain work skills and instead there's just this drive towards isolation towards punishment private prison companies are paid between forty five and one hundred thirty dollars a day per detainee rates for juveniles women and immigrants could be higher while public prisons are accountable to the public private ones answer only to shareholders and are not subject to external scrutiny that means many private contractors face few consequences for the poor or even inhumane treatment of detainees and we just see you know more and more isolation sensory deprivation and prisoners who literally never interact with human beings when guards would come.

into the seventy there would be a sign out front with their stock price to let them know how the company was doing corrections corporation of america and geo group are the two largest private prison companies which combined revenues of two point nine billion dollars last year but critics say they've been using that financial clout to line their own pockets even further encouraging politicians to keep going with the heavy handed sentencing program by launching an influential lobby campaign in the corridors of power lobbying in an order to influence public officials only a small part of the private prison industry effort to achieve policy change others include campaign donations so the companies make hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to politicians nationwide both on the federal and state levels with most states and the federal government currently operating under record deficits and budget cuts private prison companies are pitching their facilities as lower

cost alternatives and while the most americans continue struggling during this economic downturn mass incarceration may grow even more profitable arena port nigh on r.t. new york adventurous travelers are waiting to see if they will ever be admitted to one of the globe's most surreal tourist sites the dead zone around her novel nuclear plant in ukraine twenty five years after the worst ever atomic disaster trips to the area were halted over allegations they were illegal arches a chef he has the details. these cars were once heavily affected by nuclear radiation now the radiator for a different reason part of an exhibition in key of dedicated to the clean rubble of the one nine hundred eighty six chernobyl fallout over the years the chernobyl museum in ukraine's capital kiev has become one of the top tourist attractions especially in april this year when the world marked the twenty fifth anniversary of

the disaster but for those craving for the firsthand post-apocalyptic experience looking at the exhibition here has not been enough. and there is an adventurous alternative to the contaminated zone around sure the noble itself over the past decades tourists have been floor can hear more than ten thousand of them each year that's why the forbes magazine named the dead zone one of the world's most exotic tourist destinations. alexander a former resident of the ghost town of pretty bad has been organizing these tours for several years he told us that visitors are always fascinated by what they see although all their motivations for making the trip have always varied. fuck. you people have different reasons for someone to see what an apocalypse could look like kind of you so moment to feel the history. it's their childhood like the

atmosphere of the soviet union has been preserved but for me it's more important not why they come here i mean it's what effect it has on them. but since june that this radioactive tourism has been suspended the prosecutor general's office conducted checks and ruled that the emergencies ministry had broken the law with these trips as well as making an unhealthy profit every tourist to the zone has been paying around one hundred u.s. dollars to do so equating to a multi-million dollar revenue every year. we urge the ministry to inform the government of every dollar earned by the strip we know that a lot of money and money is all we have no idea in whose pockets it ended up why not put the money into the budget and use it to solve the problems but. the ministry is defined it says it stuck by the law it claims these troops are a vital way of educating the world on how to avoid such disasters and says they

could help fund new industrial projects on contaminated land the chernobyl zone will never again be inhabited but experts say it could still serve other purposes. that almost half of the thirty kilometer area has acceptable levels of radiation both because of the fallout of nuclear particles and decontamination procedures that's why we can use these large unoccupied spaces to build solar and wind power stations which as we can even grew biofuel here comes. the emergency's ministry has no filed the lawsuit. tours through the contaminated zone at the court is expected to start hearings in mid september ukraine's thirty kilometer nuclear wasteland will remain closed to the public but the debate remains very much. from clear. for more exclusive stories and video

be sure to check out our website here's what's on the line right now u.k. prime minister david cameron's visit to russia could herald a revamp of relations between the two countries so to our side for in-depth analysis. and the russian communications satellites thought to be lost in space is telling a lie after three weeks of radio silence to find more on the story and other news at r.t. dot com. iran's first nuclear power plant is now on stream after being officially launched the russian built facility is the only such station in the entire middle east will share is currently running at forty percent capacity and won't reach full power until the same for russia will continue to provide help and fuel for the plant and iran will send spent fuel back to russia the west has long been worried about iran's atomic program concerned it is planning a nuclear bomb while tehran insist its ambitions are strictly peaceful. researcher

at the school of oriental and african studies at the university of london believes iran has the right to peaceful nuclear energy just like any other developed nation . we have now a decades long standoff between iran and the west. over the iranian nuclear program this has been very hyped of. the nuclear issue for political reasons in order to be able to garner support to put pressure on iran if you cannot control or influence a country you might go for isolation and weakening of the country and the best way to do that is through economic sanctions canonic sanctions if we just listen to the most authoritative source when it comes to analyzing the iranian nuclear program which is the international atomic energy agency and if we read their reports we see that there is no evidence for any weaponization and also this is. numerously and on

numerous occasions by the u.s. intelligence services and very recently so as well so the world has to face that iran as other developed countries has a nuclear program which is peaceful according. to all the evidence that we have all their leno warm welcome for romney and president mahmoud ahmadinejad in new york when he visits for the u.n. general assembly a massive billboard in times square hughes's iran of allying with al qaida a huge poster was put out by the united against nuclear iran group which opposes tehran's nuclear plants and also once hotels to refuse to accommodate how many jobs babbin eland of the independent institute think tank told r.t. that attacking iran risks increasing its desire for nuclear weapons. if you remember after all nine eleven iran helped the united states apprehend some alcohol qaeda people and provided intelligence on them because remember ron's islamised

government is different than al qaeda which is sunni and the iranian government is shia and the al qaeda is hostile to the billboard for demonizes iran so i think the problem with demonization as we've seen in the case is that on hussein and newmarket offie is that the united states then seems to take out those leaders after a while and if you've got a republican administration in who beat obama and next year in the elections by two thousand and thirteen we could hear the drumbeat for attacking iran which of course i think would be disastrous you have to put yourself in their shoes they do have legitimate security fears i think you have to take them into account and you have to do everything that you can not to demonize them because that in turn creates pressures for attacking them later on this coercive approach merely makes iran want to have weapons more ron sees that iraq and libya who gave up their nuclear weapons
