5:14 am
define the new iraq checkpoints like this one are a dominant feature of life and they are everywhere aside from the household they're also frequent target of attacks for us is a blatant visual reminder of a country still very much at war. inside your coop we drive quickly to avoid danger we're told to look out for black b.m.w. apparently they've become a favorite for iraq's insurgents who didn't pick the best day to come to roadside bombs exploded here earlier that morning around the same time that baghdad was rocked by a series of deadly blasts but it has been a flashpoint for years now and in the city center it's clear that life doesn't stop just because of the threats we were expecting empty streets but people continue to go about their business as normal vendors and busy families did their shopping beneath the surface there are scars today kirkuk continues to be an incredibly dangerous place that took a bit of the city without the help of a military escort residents here say that attacks could happen at any time in any
5:15 am
place in fact it's not really safe to stay here for too long so let's get inside we need car want to his family there kurds who say they're happy that saddam is gone but their fear of political repression has been replaced by fear of the unknown. you know one of the we don't know who the enemy is where women next bomb will go off but it's a daily fears we've got used to it you know i do small things to feel safer like driving with all the car windows down that way if there's a blast at least the glass was heard. such precautions didn't help sixty year old mood who says that a decade of war has ruined iraq he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time in a bomb blast went off injuring his leg for him daily life has become a painful struggle the body and if you. like is what benefit did the war bring democracy only explosions shootings and kidnappings people should feel. free to go
5:16 am
out and come back safely where is that i can leave but there's no guarantee i'll come back alive it's not about the sectarian differences unfortunately it's book the black the oil in behind this is the hidden interests of politicians pawns in a political game playing with their livelihoods and lives for conflicts not of their own making the iraqis we met didn't hate their neighbors or care about who controls the oil just like they simply want the peace of mind of knowing they can go out and return to their loved ones alive who seek out r.t. iraq. and he's created a special online project on our website which brings together detailed reports on the diet scale of the violence in iraq and the big events of the year our series why twenty is set in masses all the running all this week here on our national.
5:17 am
these little tidbit here braving the elements in order to stand up to us oil giants . this comes after a massive hunger strike that returned the world's attention to the place that sums up the gulag of our time. is an undeclared global battlefield in which yemen is just one of the front lines. today but u.s. federal reserve has one hundred candles to blow out on its birthday cake founded to prevent a boom and bust economics in the first century faced many challenges from double
5:18 am
digit inflation to near depression so i sent a vaziri it seems the right time to ask how is the fed actually doing. looks for the ons. secretive powerful wealthy and now it's got a birthday america's central bank wields enormous and almost unchecked power over the world's largest economy for sure. underneath and that means basically the. other agency of government which can overrule actions that we could the country has seen as many as eighteen recessions since the fed was created leading many to argue it has singularly failed to end the boom and bust economics that it was designed to prevent it's been a failure it's been a dismal failure in promoting prosperity. sustainable prolonged prosperity and raising the living standards of americans. the past thirty years
5:19 am
have produced the biggest growth of income inequality wages for the low and middle class have remained stagnant while the fed has allowed banks to double in size accounting for forty percent of the u.s. economy the fed has twelve regional banks and this one in new york is not only the largest it's also the closest to wall street as salaries profits and bonuses have all grown over the past century one thing has shrunk the value of the u.s. dollar has declined a reported ninety five percent since i'm there because central bank was great at following the two thousand and eight financial crisis millions of jobs in homes were lost. but wall street went on to make a record breaking profits courtesy of the fed's quantitative easing program board's done is it's basically taking a lot of the credit that was on wall street's balance sheets and it's onto its own balance sheets and so it's playing this huge support function in the calling me
5:20 am
andrew sar who spearheaded the first quarter of q.e. he has apologized to americans for what he calls a backdoor bailout for the. thanks most americans can't really get credit after the financial crisis still to this day even though wall street's been stabilized and so we have this long term decline in the economic prospects of the average american and yet a lot of our leadership both in washington and within the third specifically are really focused on trying to put humpty dumpty back together again in terms of wall street and resists resuscitate a system that i think is working less and less for for the person on the street for one hundred years america's currency and economy has been run by unelected and virtually unaccountable central planners and while the fed has helped the rich get richer the gap between the top one percent and the rest. is the largest it's been since the great depression. new york.
5:21 am
japan is breaking its own radioactive records as huge amounts of bisa re-imaging substances have been discovered at another reactor at the crippled fukushima power plant meanwhile the government says the decontamination what shuttle to be completed by march may take another three years and for more we're now joined live by alex car an expert on japan mr coe welcome to r.c. very nice to see you so we've heard new mercer pools about. and now we're hearing about a fresh one from your point of view why then are able to cope with all that. well this is one of a long series it's an ongoing story and the real problem is that the government has but so much energy in hiding the information that at this point i can i think it's
5:22 am
fair to say that nobody knows what's really going on. where the beds are pile one big games but there are so many activists in the world who have some sort of house concerns about it do you think that their war is justified i don't think they are justified in the sense that it's going to impact tokyo so i think the people could come to really the games and not worry about it but that area of japan through kachina prefecture and the areas around it are going to be seriously affected for decades maybe a step three part of it will the pretty much probably unlivable not to mention a few years that we have of the radio it's flowing into the ocean and no one can imagine what the long term effects are going to be on. many other things. there the media reports that the containment tongues that have been leaking that were built by. inexperienced employees who basically were
5:23 am
rushing to build them does that suggest that there are lots more secrets or don't know about. well of course because the entire earth system of management of tepco infected the entire nuclear industry of japan is going to rely on unskilled uneducated and specialist d. the workers the guys they pick up off the street and are brought in and paid a daily wage wouldn't have and some of them don't even realize they're going into a radioactive circumstance but it's not professional and it's it's a comedy of errors and that the attacks are just one of many many structures that were built hurriedly without expertise without consulting the national specialists it's fair to say that it's a big mess and it will get worse i could say japan is obviously failing to safely
5:24 am
clean out the plan to needs help from outside to agree i do agree i think it's very very difficult for chicken to do that for reasons of national pride and also because as soon as you bring in the outsiders it upsets this thing that they call the nuclear village well that's a term we use in japan for the scientists the academics the bureaucrats the politicians and the contractors and cousy interrelated situations where anyone who comes in from outside and demand a certain amount of openness and officialism will up to that nice situation so it's very difficult to actually bring the middle make use of them. expert on japan mystica thank you very much indeed for that webber shaded in the money is coming up in about half an hour's time but before that not a terribly light fell on the hazardous legacy of computers that are thrown out with
5:25 am
the rubbish but in the us in the u.k. prepared to go underground with option of a time thing. summer break a time when all students rejoice and most importantly relax but in russia summer break for male students could change dramatically and involve lots of guns currently male russian citizens have to put a year into the armed forces but the ministry of defense thinks that they can make things easier by having students spend their summer breaks in the military this training would tie in with their future professions such as engineering students being put into military engineering position now the question is does your summer break belong to you or another words to the government have the right to tell you what to do and make you serve in the army even if just for three summers during
5:26 am
your college years i think the answer of this really depends on your culture in places which haven't been invaded countless times or have a strong individual ism streak any form of conscription sounds barbaric and oppressive but if you come from a country that is less individualistic and has been attacked invaded by pretty much every country that possibly could like russia then having a draft makes more sense i think this program could work and if i was in college i would be pumped to spend my summer vacation with some heavy artillery but this is definitely not a universal idea for all countries i don't think liberals are libertarians in america would take too kindly to it and rightly so but that's just my opinion. if you drop some of the sixteen percent bullets came from. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action.
5:27 am
on foot territorial waters they fish they load the fish on to the ships and leave for europe. to day illegal fishing is taking the bread out of our mouths. if. it's. a lifetime of all mankind but a brief moment in the long history of this earth of ours and only yesterday a little three of mankind as man made any significant advance. over his earthly

environment computer. for life they changed it more than any other of man invent. these machines would have been with less than a million of a second in terms of the temporal man history and already given promise of are rethinking our way of life and way of thinking. it's. safe to let the sun to say girl. come in the kitchen and then we see. smoke signal out say it's done it's. signal out. while still around for this. it's.
5:29 am
just about messages if that's. so there's some. down source is it ok that's. it. i don't. know as the dumber grow bugs in me. i don't let them know. what the first time i saw one was at those go areas where we were going for a after school study. and as soon as we finish studying we'd go and play with the computer. there were many things we can do on the computer games educational games and so on. them. and what i'm trying to say is that the computer broadens your horizon.
5:30 am
is just dumping and nobody wants them to but in your opening united states so they find a way to dispose of this the color born it was teamed with former british but this is what is left of the local. there's nothing to show just the worst just living in the luxury of the water is so polluted nothing about lives and have nothing so by. need to play a computer is all day long i mean who doesn't like that technology there's something new i know about it probably before the consumer does so every day's new every and every truck is almost like christmas a year ago a gigabyte was kind of unheard.
