of the u.s. reels from killer superstorm sandy some say obama and romney are pretending bad designs to relieve campaigns have nothing to do with the race for the presidency. u.k. and u.s. intelligence keep the final goal in global terrorism flying home by putting a little value on the lives of those who refused to follow the battle cry. and greet journalists are raising their lawn over freedom of speech as the government of the austerity of god and country struggles start real yet another batch of.

international news live from moscow this is also you with me thanks for joining it's obama being accused of using superstorm sandy recovery efforts to the presidency. on hold during the clock calamity turning to release measures instead but some say the rivalry rhetoric still showed through this account from the reports this was the surprise. i think. hurricane sandy crashing on shore i've never seen anything like this i'm at a loss for words to describe what the storm could do but there is no loss for words on the campaign trail and on the eastern coast of our nation a lot of people are enduring some very difficult times the storm that wreaked havoc on america's east coast is wreaking confusion in the last critical days of a tight race for president so how do you run for office about seeming insensitive

to a national tragedy the candidates are certainly doing. all they can to look like they aren't trying to score political points but their actions tell a different story president barack obama canceled his election rallies and returned to washington to focus on the storm the election will take care of itself next week leaving vice president biden to campaign on his behalf. one of the perks of running for president while occupying the white house is being able to make high profile visits like this one america's whether we are standing behind you and we're going to do everything we can to help you get back on your feet it means coming across as a president on the job which certainly helps when it's a job you're reapplying for the president been in close contact with fema. and all the agencies of course obama is the president was his advisor say means he needs to focus on the crisis at hand but in terms of how it affects the election i don't think anybody really knows obviously we want unfettered access to the polls but

it's a choice that doesn't sit well with some political opponents you'll notice he's canceling his trips over the hurricane he did not cancel his trip over benghazi. and then those republican presidential contender mitt romney so far he stopped sending fund raising e-mail isn't affected states he used his campaign bus for relief efforts and put up a blog with the weather related advice he's also scrap schedule campaign events only it seems there are some fine print involved this may look like romney's campaigning in ohio a key swing state but his advisors say that's not the case the so-called victory rally was canceled out of sensitivity. instead of the campaign insists this is a hurricane relief a vent canned goods came hand in hand with anti obama t. shirts there was music and theme songs and those attending the supposedly nonpartisan event were treated to a video about romney getting america stronger that's what american president has to

do. asked by a reporter whether this blurred the line between storm relief and politics romney's top strategist replied i agree i don't know how it happened people over politics or politics over people it's certainly difficult to tell that we may be impossible to completely stop campaigning in the middle of a closely contested race but then why make the pretense of doing so it seems that both candidates could use a little bit of this age old advice say what you mean mean what you say and do what you say you'll do lucy caffein of r t moscow. so the storm sunday which has left at least forty five dead also spoke to the told me three nuclear plants were to go flying while a state of alert was declared as a force facility. for us the super storm known as sandy has left millions of people and businesses along the east coast without power but the greatest danger the hurricane has posed may revolve around america's nuclear power plants at least three nuclear reactors have been shut down and the nation's oldest facility in new

jersey is on rare alert exelon corp's forty three year old oyster creek plant was put on alert after water levels at the plant rose more than six and a half feet above normal potentially affecting the water intake structure that pumps only water through the plant and the concern is that if the cool water is not maintained he used your radium rods in the pool could cause the water to boil experts say in an extreme scenario the rods could overheat risking the eventual release of radiation the concerns over the status of your creek has caused some to draw parallels to the fears surrounding last year's fukushima disaster in japan then helicopters and fire hoses were enlisted to ensure the pools remain filled with fresh water according to the nuclear regulatory commission the general electric designed nuclear reactors involved in the fukushima emergency are very similar to twenty three of the g designed reactors in the u.s.

as of tuesday afternoon the u.s. federal emergency management agency says there is no imminent threat of radiation releases from oyster creek reporting from new york marina port r.t. . gunderson says the posse of sunday should be a wake up call for on the atomic industry the water level was somewhere around two meters perhaps a little higher because the gauge that the government uses to measure it actually broke in the storm surge because pump is critical to cool the water when it's in the nuclear reactor but in america will we move the fuel into the spent fuel pool we have no way of cooling it the real problem is that the box that the fuel is in can get very very humid because as this water begins to get hot those steam goes up and the equipment in that box safety related equipment is really not designed for high unity i don't believe we'll have

a fukushima disaster but i think it really should show the american nuclear regulatory commission that it can happen here. we could have a flood inland in one of the pennsylvania plants and be having the same conversation two days from now. and to stay without say for more updates on the also massive so based on sunday and the race for the white house will want the main strands missing on home as well next monday on the eve of the overall cost and nothing live round of debates that's when they have set processes are pounded it. governor romney and i are we both agree we agree we have to bring the tax rates down i felt the same as the president did governor romney i'm glad. you agree let's come back to something the president i agree on and there do you agree that the voters have a choice perhaps you wondered who to vote for when romney and obama agree on so many things remember you do have other options come november sixth tune in to see the second round of debates between the major third party candidates right here on

r.g.p. . over the years the global war on terrorism has proved a successful rallying call for u.s. and u.k. led military campaigns across the globe however as always point to boycott reports the great a cause sometimes goes hand in hand with brutal tactics. somali born mahdi hashi had grown up in the u.k. from the age of five he was a british citizen until this summer when the twenty three year old went missing and his family found out that the home office had stripped him of his passport for allegedly being involved in islamic extremism his parents are distraught they say that mahdi is an innocent victim of a british intelligence plot or because he refused to work for m i five. is that he's a muslim and believe i mean he's a practicing muslim but being a muslim is not being an islamist. that's what that's all why he's being victimized

this is the quiet north london community center where mehdi hashi worked back in two thousand and nine it was then that he and four of his muslim colleagues say that they were approached and harassed separately by security agents it's claimed that m i five threatened to label them islamic extremists if they refused to become informants for british intelligence campaign is raising awareness for maddie's plight said that the constant threats made by british intelligence made life so unbearable that he left the u.k. they were trying to offer him a job. saying that you know effectively you're an extremist we know your the only way out of this is for you to come and work for us to come and help us these will become tactics that were being used because the origin this is a purely racist profiling policy of the british government and particularly

security agencies marty had been living in somalia for the past two years taking care of his grandmother and raising a son of his own but several months ago he disappeared leaving his family in despair my son is missing this summer this summer but i don't know if you know if you live or died here. we are very wooded all of the. family the only information the hashi family have now comes from a man who contacted them to say that he'd been in prison with maddie in djibouti and he told us that he had been. d.n.a. has been taken from him and been. contacted when they can be found out that he's a petition is in the conduct of the british council and the british consular see that we have a good movies or this decision from him and then the americans took him to. somewhere we don't know they don't know but they fear he's being held at camp in

djibouti and a tourist us anti terrorist base where he may be the victim of an american rendition program in which suspects are on lawfully taken to third party states to be illegally detained and tortured the hashi family want on says to simple questions like what the allegations are against maddie where he is located and whether he's even alive but when it comes to matters of intelligence they're faced with a wall of silence lawyers acting on behalf of the hachi family have received just this response from the government it has been the policy of successive governments neither to confirm or. deny speculation allegations or assertions in respect of intelligence matters this policy is maintained and accordingly the secretary of state can neither confirm nor deny the allegations made on behalf of your client these cases a classic case of profiling and you know kind of almost ludicrous policies with.

this war on terror a result in innocent individual helpless young folk to be having their life ruined campaigners say that by stripping maddie hashi of his passport the british government has effectively washed their hands of his case leaving his family to continue the search for answers about their now stateless son. archie london. and on r.t. the call right now for you a treasure hunt continues as a search and rescue operation sweeps the sea over for advantage to russian culture ships with seven hundred tons of precious gold or. also five bombs and barricades find out how a city in southeast turkey was turned into a battlefield but got the details and pictures for. him plus saudi arabia's plans to rebuild one of its biggest most schools and some grave concerns over one of

they're usually the first to avoid contact with humans but during spawning time when both people and bears go fishing people often shoot at them to scare them away and every year here in the region you hear about someone being killed by the predators. but at the mugger down nature reserve where we are no one disturbs the bears. another local resident who hates his peace being disturbed here is the howlers eagle in has a wingspan of two and a half meters ignace only here in russia far east because of the bundles of salmon and seagulls which feed the giant bird in his studies if gainey focuses on birds so he took me to one of his favorite places here mara island it has the biggest colony of seagulls in the region the climb up was tough. but the
