mass protests in japan demanding a bounty of atomic power as the country marks the second anniversary of the world's worst nuclear disaster in decades. both an island there are as decide whether they want to stay a british colony in both neighboring argentina slams as a silly game. and the ballot continues for british war veterans who are putting their medals under the hammer to get money for food and heat. now i am in the russian capital watching r t with me marina josh welcome to the

program now mass rallies against nuclear power in japan are marking two years since a huge earthquake and tsunami triggered the world's worst atomic disaster in twenty five years the catastrophe killed almost nine hundred thousand people and crippled the fukushima plant in northeastern japan spewing radiation and forcing tens of thousands to flee their homes well today all but two of japan's nuclear reactors remain switched off since the disaster but the prime minister and his party fosters pro-nuclear policies to modernize the nation wants to restart those reactors and maybe even build new ones. well let's now take a look at the pie chart here that shows the distribution and the use of in japan as you can see the area marked in red is seventy four percent which stands for combustible fuels nuclear and now stands for fifteen percent around and. a

percent and only winner so are either in fact alternative sources of them or g. represent one percent over there so as we can see. japan still have only relies on the combustible fuels there and also nuclear power always proved to be the cheapest among other resources here this of course could be crucial for reviving the economy as fuels come at least double prices compared to atomic energy . meanwhile two years after the disaster people affected by it are still struggling to bring their own lives back to normal and earlier i talked to professor jacobs from the hiroshima peace university who says that the government is doing not nearly enough. the people who are being given help are the people who are forced to evacuate from within sight of twelve kilometer area so there is some liability for them having to leave for those who evacuated themselves there is no compensation for the people who were forced to evacuate there has been some compensation in

terms of some money to live on per month some of that is in the form of a loan which is supposed to be paid back none have yet been compensated for loss of property or loss of income so there's also other aspects to the ways in which they are not being treated with the with the real devotion to their care that should happen for example in the fukushima prefecture data about some of the dos levels in areas where people were exposed was erased from a computer database so this makes it impossible to ascertain what kinds of exposures people had this degrades their ability to understand what to expect in the future health wise and also for them to be able to press any kind of legal case . well for more on how japan's recovering after seeing entire towns wiped out and others abandoned because they are just too dangerous to live in you can have to our website which is our t. dot com and we also got more expert opinion and can bring you the latest pictures

from the anti-nuclear protests and commemorative events that are taking place in japan today. tell the stories now folks in ireland areas are voting in a referendum on whether they want to stay a british overseas territory the poll has been dismissed as a silly game bargain tina which lays claim to the islands it's as were stolen by britain almost two centuries ago british m.p. george galloway says the u.k. strategy on the folk lines is provocative it's preposterous exercise in relation

to what is a proposed dress appendage of british colonialism britain has recently upped the ante sending a prince of the royal blood prince william down to the south atlantic we've deployed this nuclear armed submarine and we are now saying that we're not prepared to talk to argentina about anything it's quite clear that the islanders have rights they have rights to a minority way of life that need to be gotten by international agreement but the. very obviously belongs to argentina if someone came down from mars and saw them up so we are the falkland islands lie all the argentinian continental shelf and track the distance between the falklands and the united kingdom once our great colonial powers know a small nearly bankrupt country off the southwest coast of europe and was told

that the small nearly bankrupt. on these islands well the man from mars would love we're not laughing here in britain because we're continuing to foot the bill now they fought to save their nation and europe from tyranny but many of britain's wartime heroes are finding that the countries are staring as one battle they can't win as highly decorated war or world war two veterans are forced to sell their medals just to make the answer meet their for has a story i fired a short burst from five hundred feet producing strikes on the port engine i don't flame appeared soon it began to dive steeply exploding into the ground these are the private extracts from the flight logs of world war two night pilot brands but bridge despite being a highly skilled and decorated pilot his story has remained largely untold until now ninety two and suffering with outside is francis in

a nursing home and his family struggling with high care costs have put the incredible momentum up for sale i said that that these are your metals we're selling them and there was a smile and there was a sort of recognition that. you know this this is what he these were his so i've no doubt that he's probably got some understanding of. this happening the family are hoping to raise more than one hundred thousand pounds at the auction with their father's nursing home costs averaging around fifty thousand pounds a year and says it is the money will go a long way to paying for their father's treatment the ice and tell the remarkable story of a man he began the war as a conscientious objector but he wended it is arguably one of britain's most prolific night flies and the story goes one short absolutely true never

for a minute because you only have room for the engines hoping that mobilize will be so . pleased to see. a parachute mode. so this is prances pilots flying logbook and slowly unusually he also includes his combat reports now this particular one you can see describes one of his exceptional achievements during the war where in one night alone he shot down four enemy german planes now that was absolutely remarkable and was described by a fellow night flying eighth as one of the most exceptional sorties flown during the war even now when he looks at planes there's that recognition that that's part of his life of all of the. people so quickly so. yeah i think it's yes the elderly care needs to be more funding for. care

so that they don't have to sell all their possessions and all their what they fought for of their home you know in order to pay for that i think that's the hardest thing british but trying to do you receive a tax free pension but with sky high living in care costs and often that's simply not enough. shockingly and it's estimated that ex service personnel account for around one in ten of the u.k.'s homeless politicians are criticised for abandoning but shien's in the hour of need leaving it to charities to pick up the slack and we have hundreds of people who come to veterans and their dependents who contact us every year who need help with care looking at the ageing population it's it's not likely that those the number of people we help would go down and the time say every year in the u.k. there are a key day that paid for the people for their country but in

a nation where everything goes for the only added to the number of veterans needing the brown fervor to story is an important reminder that for the rest of the year away from the ceremonies and the cameras the money versus the truth of facing really personal challenges the fine love go on the to serve a city london. and syria suspected that rebels there are getting us training talk to a member of the syrian opposition the twists and turns in a deadly saga that shows no sign of and they bring a part of that conversation later this hour. and a bit a divide in israel over whether i think ultimately just should serve in the army like everyone else in the claim it's the jewish and the like that they are fighting to protect. wealthy british study done. time to. go to.

welcome back you're watching r.t. live from moscow to security an edge of seems to be added to shakiest in months as police officers across the country go on strike despite ongoing street violence officers accuse the government of using them as political pawns and false trouble at the weekend after death sentences over the two thousand and eleven portside stadium riots were up help reports. court so i got to the security headquarters is a powerful reminder of the past five days of bloody clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces in a bid to quell on rest a day ahead of the contentious verdict on last february's football riots the government removed the police and put the city security in the hands of the army activists here say a military takeover will only antagonize the situation and is an example of president mohamed morsi ignoring the demands this is in this imagine the government has forgotten our main needs or the rights of the people and those who have been killed in the port side is not going to be more secure with the withdrawal of the

police but it won't help us at all the ports are you do officers are supposed to be in the street and will taking care of the country that's what we asked for with the police leaving there will be chaos now the people will have to secure the city themselves tension between protesters and the police has been high since last year's riots and when the minute you place them on the city streets there was an initial optimism but that all changed off the court's decision the atmosphere changed on saturday when the verdict confirmed that twenty one people will face the death penalty and a further five will serve my sentences residents here say that the army will not protect them as the local authorities bowed to pressure from the capital that's a funeral for protesters killed during the recent clashes and the spicy sound of the green eagles culture is saeed's football fan club says the police used excessive. force against local demonstrators treating them worse than the counterparts in cairo he believes the death sentences are further proof the city is

being targeted towards saeed has been persecuted for the last thirty years and president mohamed morsi is keeping the status quo created by the last regime the president wants to wrong the people of portside and instead satisfy the cairo alley old tribes who are widespread across the country now there is a risk of everyone being racist towards portside aid the military for their part to maintain they are protected peaceful force and that portside protesters have not been singled out they say police are merely responding to the level of violence from those attacking key government buildings meanwhile on the banks of the suez canal protesters burn tires to prevent boats from ducking saying they will escalate acts of civil disobedience until there is a fair trial with further violence on the horizon this could be the toughest challenge yet for morsi and his ministry true for r t puts.

all bells across what's happening on the ground in egypt and you can follow her for the latest details on twitter. syrian rebels are reportedly receiving training from the u.s. in their fight against president abbas and its claim to be taking place in jordan and some americans involved are in military uniform but some members of the divided syrian opposition say military support from abroad is only deepening the syrian crisis is one of the opposition leaders explain to our arabic channel. oh and good two of them and i want the opposition to be united for at least we would know who to negotiate with but unfortunately there are many small armed groups we are trying to establish contact with the most rational and far seeing opposition representatives who respect international humanitarian law and the basic constitutional principles that unite us as syrians whose actions aren't based on

religious beliefs or malicious murders there's much. aside what is your view on the main political problems of the syrian crisis for example the preservation of assad's presidency civilian death and their position being supplied with weapons and a cult will have so hello to that well first the arms supply should be stopped completely both for the rebels and for the syrian army second concerning the presidency we need time syria needs a boat ten to twenty years a parliamentarian ism to eliminate the idea of destroying one person and the role of the president so we can see that the majority of syrians support our program that will redistribute power from the president. so fun to afraid of clashes with the government which is going to be formed in istanbul and it is considered to control so-called free districts mostly now. we are

far from it still i think that if a project starts with the french foreign minister statement and then was discussed in istanbul's lobbies over three months the project doesn't have any future it is likely to be a farce and it will actually be much better if it is not realized at all because it won't gain any support or respect they still don't have a worthy candidate for prime minister they don't have any political modesty the correct way of thinking or political experience now is take a look at some other stories from around the world. crowds in pakistan's capital are calling for better protection of religious minorities after around one hundred and seventy christian homes were torched it was sparked by a route between two neighbors where ya muslim was accused of blasphemy for allegedly assaulting the prophet muhammad an angry mob then turned on christian residents one hundred fifty riders have been arrested and face charges of arson robbery staff and terrorism. as well and opposition leader

has confirmed he'll run for the presidency to replace late leader which obvious capri list used his announcement to cuse the government of using travis's death to push the candidates who have nicolas maduro the opposition years main campaign themes for the april fourteenth poll are high crime and poverty as well as a government devaluing the currency by more than thirty percent. a suspect accused of a gang rape of a medical student on a bus in delhi last to samberg has committed suicide in jail ram singh who was the driver of the bus was found hanged prison officials out of five male were held in isolated cells after other inmates tried to attack him a vicious assault on the girl sparked nationwide outrage with demands the culprits face down. now some serve in the army others study theology and that's causing growing frustration among secular jews in israel over the ultra

religious refusing to do national service but the deeply orthodox say they are playing their part. as a story. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is struggling to form a government five weeks after parliamentary elections he can't get potential coalition partners to agree the stumbling block whether or not ultra religious orthodox jews should serve in the i.d.f. the religious parties are certainly beginning to understand things have changed they're going to find themselves challenged on many fronts military service is going to be one of them and as a result they will have to conserve their political capital to fight on the things they care about most most ultra religious jews have never been in the israeli army and religious political parties have never been pressed on the issue like they being now but january's parliamentary elections saw new play is coming to the fore

on yahoo needs in his coalition if he's to form a majority government but they're insisting the religious played a part. like this woman who spearheaded a campaign with other like minded israeli mothers they're fed up with what they call an injustice that the children should serve one others don't to thirty no god that something is very unfair that we are going to give our children to the army not knowing if we are going to get them back in fifty percent of the mother or the news. do not have to warry because their children do not go to the army iran is twenty eight years old married with two children while others his age were doing their national service he was here starting far from being apologetic he feels the contribution he makes is as important if not more for him. the backbone of the jewish people i think my obligation first of all is to preserve the jewish intellect and the jewish mind for our city for this country's sake and for the

generations to come and yes while i might be not putting my life at risk and also contributing to this country's security they also say which doesn't make any sense for me that for each student that study the torah is soldier is not getting killed so if you take the twenty two thousand eight hundred that were created until now for independence day and to know what they can mean if you didn't study enough. but the frustration among secular israelis who make up most of the population goes beyond just army service they complain ultra religious jews don't work or pay taxes while receiving disproportionate government support just about every city in israel has a religious neighborhood like this one in ten is rabies it's all to also adults the challenge remains how to include them in a society that is increasingly hostile to them scipio rome spends hours trying to count his way and take an ism towards the ultra religious she blames the media and

the growing divide between the secular and orthodox communities all of the minorities here are protected but they're over that's people it's not allowed to hate it's not allowed to hate. right wing's it's allowed to hate the community it's ok the problem is the article she writes are great only by those in her community far away from the politics being forged on the national stage whether netanyahu eventually chooses to include religious partners or leave him out of his coalition there's no running away from the growing internal divide in an already divided country policy r.t. jerusalem and opera had a look at the lives of young women whose babies span their first years in prison and stay out of a nursery. wealthy
