men rights abuses there are allegations of violations committed by both rebels and colonel gadhafi as troops most of the country is now under rebel control with only a few pockets of gadhafi loyalists ill fighting but some people in the capital say the only fruits of the revolution they're seeing are uncertainty and fear as. reports. khadafi free tripoli just can't stop chanting to celebrate the birth of new libya. all reminders of a recently overthrown dictatorship are suppressed what used to bring nightmares to some for decades is now a cause for life to. show his curly hair we call him because his hair is so long and he doesn't cut it it's ugly actually but someone else smiling believe in the post gadhafi freedom is nothing but the mirage a crime has been the rest of three times in the last two weeks rebels and tara

gaiters 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 your kind words about gadhafi what you can say about blood wars about her and about to be a national icon for what they are talking about democracy this is not. 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 free them

good that feels good run away this is not true believe me because they are free to war for return back to tripoli you see the same people same people same person i think they are supporting a revolution can bring much hope but what comes afterwards is often different. those who drove egypt three balled this year was two of the streets this weekend seven months after toppling president mubarak angry at a lot of on the reforms libya's future too is still far from clear the post 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 already like all parties however some believe there could be a serious hangover after wards in the form of retribution and uncertainty as to how the future country will be governed river national r.t. tripoli libya. meanwhile there is rowing concern in libya that. the fall of

gadhafi could fall into the wrong hands brian johnson thomas former u.n. experts see what needs to be done to stop the flow of weapons. all start off by being legally married and legally sold but at some point the guns that cause the problems and being diverted and the case of libya the concerns as you know. a lot of the rebels were until fairly recently also regarded as being in the with al qaeda in some cases so there are some worries to what they might do with that is certainly an organization called a calculator the market which would obviously take an interest in what happens in libya and once you get a popular revolution of any sort then you tend to boost control of some of the individuals within if one of the troubles is. really where you could have a society where the goodness came as if it's rituals respect the rule of law and majority of gun crimes happen because people all want to hold an illegal weapon

because they don't have any trust in someone else looking after them so unless the libyan transitional national council can very quickly establish the trustee impartial independent police force and then because main cities pretty consistently there will be a temptation on people to keep guns for their own defense but not then resist temptation to use a gun for something produce shouldn't be used. where you can see the full interview with brian johnson thomas former u.n. experts on the arms trade later this hour. the u.s. congress is considering president obama's a four hundred forty seven billion dollars jobs bill to help america's ailing economy the country's looking at all possible means to raise the cash it needs one idea being needed is save money is a reduction in the. number of people being kept behind bars however one group of

people has a vested interest in keeping the prisons as full as possible. found out. america's financial crisis has been something of an unseasonable 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 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 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 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. r.t. new york. city has few at this hour at the extremes of tourism a devil's craving a first hand experience of a post-apocalyptic walty away inside the exclusion zone around the chernobyl

it's deja vu time to think we could call me with more speculation it's close to the phones the greek finance minister is set for talks with his german counterpart after some officials and then suggested athens could be forced out of the single currency financial unless edward harsens says any default carries the real risk of contagion i think what's going to happen is the euros are going to say look this isn't working we realize that there's no way they're going to be able to repay and do the austerity we're going to have to take some haircuts that is we have to write down the debt default and then we're going to have some sort of program to deal with that in an orderly and structured world there's going to be losses and we know that those losses are going to mean that we're recapitalize banks both banks in the lender countries like germany and friends but also the greek banks themselves you know there might be a flat type of attitude meaning that you know if we cap was your bag that means

you'll probably have to flog some of them off and sell them to foreigners things of that nature there's always going to be some recrimination. but at the end of the day these debts that are unsustainable are written off i think that that's a positive if greece defaults and everyone says ok now greece is the faulty luckily we got out of the way greece the other a special case. good. prosy all or they could. default of no what about ireland what about portugal what about spain and italy they look like greece maybe they'll default to. get out of those countries and then you know the same sort of scenario there that just played out in greece. adventurous travelers awaiting to see if they'll ever be admitted to one of the globe's most surreal tourist sites the dead zone around nuclear plant in ukraine twenty five years after the worst ever atomic disaster trips to the area that

halted over allegations they are illegal. 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 clear up of the 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 the contaminated zone around should not bill itself over the past decade tourists have been floor can hear more than ten thousand of them each year that's why forbes magazine named the dead zone one of the world's most exotic tourist destinations. alexander

a former resident of the goes down of 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. look. you people have different reasons. some want to see what an apocalypse could look like. someone to feel the history. which for some 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 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 another healthy 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 these trips we know that a lot of money has been made but 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. that 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 emergencies ministry has now filed a lawsuit in a bid to resume tours through the contaminated zone and the court is expected to start hearings in that september ukraine's thirty kilometer nuclear wasteland will remain closed to the public until then but the debate remains very much open. ski r.t. reporting from kiev. in ukraine. all for more exclusive stories and video to be sure to check out ascii dot com here's what's online right now the

new research at the school of oriental and african studies at the university of london leads around is the right to be for nuclear energy just like any other developed nation. we have now a decades long standoff between iran and the west and over it 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 in the best way to do that is through economic sanctions economic sanctions and 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 confirmed by 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. well the. welcome for iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad in new york when he visits the u.n. general assembly a massive billboard in times square accuses of ran over the line with al qaeda paste it was put up. against nuclear iran agree which opposes to ransom yeah actions it all say want to refuse to accommodate application but even even the independent institute think tank told all t. that its hacking around with increasing its design for us. if you remember after zero nine eleven iran helped the united states apprehends to malcolm people and provided intelligence on them because remember. islamised government is different

than the al qaeda which is sunni and the iranian government is shia and the. is hostile to the billboard furler demonizes iran so i think the problem with demonization as we've seen in the case of saddam hussein and moammar qaddafi 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 but 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 run sees that iraq and libya who gave up their

nuclear weapons programs they got invaded or attacked. the business update with the way. hello and a very warm welcome to the business program a quarter in central russia has declared the recent search of b.p.'s office by bailiffs was illegal the raid was done nothing request of b.p.'s partners in the russian oil from b.p. they are currently suing b.p. for three billion dollars compensation they claim b.p. broke their shareholders agreement by attempting to form an alliance with snap to explore the arctic the raid on b.p.'s moscow office was intended to uncover files relating to the middle seat. trade between russia and the u.k. has grown fifty percent since the beginning of the year in the wake of david cameron's visit to moscow our business editor nick poole caught up with the head of

course of british chamber of commerce why he started by asking if the problems in the political sphere in recent years had affected business interests. well i think one has got to divide the business relationships into the natural resource sector and the rest one can say without any shadow of doubt at all that there's been no discernible impact on the normal natural resource sector has the b.p. situation affected the way in which business is done here i think it's affected the business climate in this way and that is that it's created a lot of headlines and that has influenced what i call senior board level decision taking amongst british companies they have been i think over in my view overly concerned by the problems that b.p. are perceived to have had an overly influence therefore in their decisions on big

investments in russia what does the u.k. want from russia we want more russian companies to be investing in the u.k. and we think that that is something where actually russian companies are not fulfilling their full potential and i think then collaboration in the high tech area is also extremely important i mean there was an important announcement yesterday everest nama investment in a cambridge base cambridge grace company and i see much much more of that is the case of selling technology for cash with little in the way of trade turnover of actual goods. no i don't think that's fair i think there are there are very significant exports of manufactures of consumer goods increasing amount of joint ventures but i mean in any modern economy you know the old idea that a developed european economy is an exporter of physical goods that is just an outdated

dated view so in any economy whether it's the us economy or even for that of a german economy a very high percentage of what you export are actually services. well the river illustrating close to its lowest level against the u.s. dollar for eight months investors are concerned europe's persisting debt crisis could demand for fuel and effectively russia's economic growth the russian cause he has lost more than one percent against the greenback in the last twenty four hours one dollar now costs more than thirty roubles despite russia's relatively healthy budget position analysts suggest the ruble will weaken further as risk appetite round the world remains low. let's have a look at the markets now oil has spared early gains after the international energy agency is estimate for demand growth and raise its supply forecast countering support provided by rebound in the euro and installed markets branches flattered to

one hundred twelve dollars per barrel and lies which is hovering at eighty eight dollars a barrel. bursts little optimism around in europe as investors focus on the weakness of the global economy the sea and the dates have dropped for a third day of brazing an early advance as concern grew that europe's sovereign debt crisis may harm the economy and reduce banks' access to funding. and positive sentiment seem to dominate early morning trade on tuesday in russia with the indices tracking the u.s. and asia higher but the my six on the r.t.s. quickly reversed those modest gains with my six slipping under fifteen hundred points but have a look at some of the individual share moves here most energy majors are down despite strong of crude both gazprom and ross neptune losing over one percent this hour and bank sage which is buck is also in the red despite posting stronger than expected results as first top their profit quadrupled to one hundred forty eight million dollars. ok you're up to date now more business news analyst time for you.
