or is history is still visible. well come on. russia close up. more news today. and flared up. these are the images cold world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing up for a shelter old today. for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the newsmakers.

from the russian capital twenty four hours a day this is our top stories now the investigators say a blast in southern russia that injured thirty could have been the work of the al qaeda linked militant behind moscow metro bombings police in the capital being put on a high state of alert. russia brings together afghanistan and pakistan to discuss how to tackle drug traffickers and terrorism in central asia the afghan war seen as the major cause of instability. and human rights group publishes new photos of israeli soldiers humiliating palestinian prisoners comes after former israeli officer posted pictures of posing with belled prisoners on facebook. on the first coalition government since nine hundred forty five one hundred days in office time has been characterized by massive cuts in public spending and comparisons to margaret thatcher's government. i'll be back. in fifty minutes from now in the meantime extreme weather conditions of affected the lives of millions this year heat raged in russia and floods devastated pakistan so what's behind these

catastrophes walty talk to the russian physicist alexander ginsburg who says the only force to blame is mother nature herself that's next. recent climatic chaos has caused many conspiracy theories to wonder what could possibly be behind the climatic events that are causing worldwide attention to talk a little bit more about whether there is any truth to the serious and what is really causing our planet to behave in such a way i'm now joined by dr alexandre ginsburg who will be talking to r.t. about those problems dr going to thank you so much for talking to us now these conspiracy theories that have recently flooded the internet about how there's a geophysical weapon that somebody is testing that is causing all of these problems

they are icelandic volcano the floods in pakistan the heat in russia is that true. so it's an interesting question that comes up at least every few years five years ago when hurricane katrina struck the u.s. sure there was a lot of noise perhaps more of it in the western hemisphere than in europe in russia but people started saying that katrina was the result of russian geophysical weapon tests and that nothing would have happened if it wasn't for the evil empire which meant to the former soviet union and wouldn't a russia this year since europe russia pakistan and china to a degree been affected by disasters this incision hungry whistleblowers came up with a different theory and they're saying these disasters are results of retaliation from the u.s. that perhaps the u.s. wanted to strike pakistan and accidently hit russia and europe. in any case my answer to your question is no it was not caused by geophysical weapons with them i

say this because so far there is no evidence in open media sources or licensed scientific magazines that mankind is capable of using nature in such a way the amount of energy. the exact is far too small to affect energy streams in the atmosphere and the oceans so as to use those streams as a weapon that i have no scientific evidence that the disasters could have been caused by climate weapon or geophysical weapon with the shasta but it is true that countries are working towards somehow controlling or affecting the weather isn't that what scientists of many countries have always been interested in the. yes we do work on projects of that kind ways to use where the control techniques can be different there are peaceful applications such as dispersing clouds and making sure that weather is good at red square parades i suspect this isn't only practiced in russia but in other countries as well. soviet to authorities used where the control

techniques and quite successfully to cause avalanches and hail storms and places where they needed them or drive focus away from airports it's easy to see from what i said that all weather control technology is aimed at controlling clouds and fog liquids in the atmosphere. the latest trend in weather control is to use finely divided cement loads of cement cause rain when dumped into clouds and can be used to settle for. the physics at the core of those two person says at the same cement causes the water particles in the clouds and fog to become bigger. now for better or for worse we have no means of affecting weather other than enlarging water particles in folks and clouds and turning ice particles into water to turn hail into rain these methods were introduced to most one hundred years ago and we have not made any breakthroughs since although what we do have we use successfully. so

then what is causing all this climatic chaos the volcano in iceland the abnormal heat in russia floods in pakistan what is the cause behind all of these things that . where did this summer disasters in russia europe and pakistan come from well they didn't really come from anywhere the situations like this develop in the atmosphere once every few years we call them blocking situations like they are characterized by a cycle and the cycle and pair of equal strength facing one another and the cyclon is a massive air spinning one way and producing to standing streams of air. in summer and winter this gives a clear sky it also makes the summers hotter now when we have a pack insisting of a stream circular and a strong anti cycling as the case is this summer over russia and europe this leads

to a so-called blocking situation during which that pair can become very stable this pair will sustain itself until it gets tired and we'd have to either wait for that of autumn to come so that the strong and the certain would run out of the solar energy to sustained by. my point is that there is nothing extraordinary about what we are seeing this summer from the meteorological point of view the only thing that is out of the ordinary is how strong the anti cycling in the cycling are. what's important to understand is that cycling's are not actually created by anything it is the cycling itself that is the reason for a change in atmospheric processes the cycling is the reason not a consequence of the consequences of the site learn i want we are dealing with now . so to the people who would say that. those conditions are a result of global warming would you say that they are mistaken or that they are correct you don't you little neither this nor that and there is solid ground. for

that sidelines in europe and the cyclons in russia are not direct consequences of global warming it's a regular phenomenon. but as i mentioned before the situation is lasting too long as for global warming people are arguing now whether it is natural or manmade it exists out of natural global warming is pretty much the same across the globe it should be getting warmer everywhere and more or less equally or at least proportionally but if global warming is due to the greenhouse effect warming at low or tropical latitudes is much less than winning a title polar latitude depending on how much fear in the north or in the south if the temperature difference decreases the force which could get cyclons and anti cyclons apart and eliminate the blocking decreases as well. so in this respect i cannot insist that it's a direct consequence of global manmade warming but as we see it the resolution of

such booking situations becomes more and more complicated it's on that they mentioned the so-called greenhouse gas emissions do you think that the kyoto protocol actually helps with curbing greenhouse gas emissions and should everybody sign it like countries that have so far refused to sign it for example do they need to does it actually help i've asked and we've gotten dealings with it all day as we are doing something to nature which nature itself has not been doing before we have to fight it therefore all the efforts to cut greenhouse emissions to fight there's a time zation to growth forests eliminating greenhouse effect and so on very much welcome. on the other hand sometimes excessively enthusiastic green activists and other ecologists shout from the rooftops that nuclear energy must not be used as well as solar energy and wind energy because infrasound affect animals and fossil

fuels are simply out of the question. but they are all flying to convince his dr to conferences and sit in their offices not in villages and they fight against all these factors there was a summit in copenhagen that didn't produce any particular results i was asked a good question about it once they told me it came to know what to which i replied that it actually produce great results what results they ask me the heads of one hundred twenty countries came together to see that they couldn't do anything this is a great result some of them started thinking about it differently they went there to sign documents and reach agreements but they couldn't. they certainly haven't agreed on anything what this showed us is that we need to step up our efforts it showed us that climate problems should be discussed at summits copenhagen was the first port into knots and. you mentioned company and the fact that leaders of countries need to solve the matters themselves but there have been people that

have said that it would be economically. not beneficial for them for example some say that already an alternative fuel source has been developed by scientists but it's economically unfeasible for countries that are dependent on oil like the united states like the arab emirates like russia so do you think there is any fact to to these statements or is that all theories and talk. unfortunately what you are saying is exactly the case advances have been made in renewable energy technologies but there are also difficulties for example big fields of energy windmills producing infrasound that is not heard by human beings but sometimes small rodents and other animals leave these places so sometimes we are simply unaware of the possible effects of alternative energy production in addition it's a very slight effect but there are two ways to warm up the earth to increase the

greenhouse effect or to consume more solar energy currently an increase in the greenhouse effect is predominant but if the entire earth is covered with solar batteries then more solar energy will be consumed and there will still be warming with those light. and what will happen in china is very interesting because china is a special case it doesn't have much room but huge coal reserves but now coal energy is too shameful to use especially for a country with ambitions to become the leading world economy therefore they are likely to actively pursue alternative sources of energy but it's sort of mission but that is global warming. it's been said so many times it's been blamed for all kinds of different things and then recently there were some russian hackers who broke into email correspondence between some european scientists that

actually said that there is no global warming so is there or isn't there but i would put off one of the world centers of meteorology and climate science is in great britain it's the most ancient and great meteorology service that's one thing another thing is that over the past five or ten years or maybe move the country which has been most concerned about global warming is great britain in the summer of two thousand and four i was present at and one of the organizers of a meeting between tony blair's counselor david king and under a learn to distinguish councillors of two distinguished leaders one of them was arguing that there was no global warming while the other was saying it exists and that it is man made all this is political climatology both points of view there is global warming because temperatures have risen over the past one hundred fifty years of observations and over the past decade they have been increasing quicker

than doing the first one hundred years of observations it is a fact we cannot deny that it's. extracting black. dangerous. worldwide demand pushes the limits to catastrophe. is the price. is it possible to prevent such disasters. and can the aftermath be dealt with quickly time defectively. oil spills and thrills auty. signed up to fill in the military because i thought that it was my duty that it was something that i do to help my

your company this is sports today i'm going to take a look at some of the stories we're covering this very hour home advantage and it's in petersburg a one the win in the first leg of their champions league qualifier against. the french fry nicolas anelka international career looks all but over after receiving an eight for his behavior at the world cup. on the future's bright top he used to live after day three following a superb chilling in the pool and on the mount. as an intern petersburg have put themselves in the driving seat to join fellow russian sides routine. in the group stages of the champions league. recording a one zero win over observer in their first leg qualifier as an eight taking their own to the continental stage the premier league leaders going ahead after just three minutes through alexander. never really looked like relinquishing anything

but a last stand in the second leg next week will result in the white and blues entering the european cup proper on receiving the hefty bonuses that come with a. elsewhere in the ninety's kiev and i aks finished all square russian international him on public got what could turn out to be a timely goal for spurs with his side losing our three young boys its first blow to rosenberg in their old scandinavian clash with f.c. copenhagen while slovakian minnows jelena upset the odds to secure a first leg advantage away to sparta prague. scandal which engulfed the french national team at world cup twenty ten finally looks to have come to an end albeit with some eyeopening punishments hundred die in the most severe of which being nicolas anelka is eighteen months ban which effectively ends the chelsea man's international career it all stems from a row with then france manager women dominic during the group stages of the finals

anelka was subsequently sent home with the remaining squad refusing to train. and patrice evra received an eight five match balanchine say on choose day for his part in the revolts frank robbery will be out for at least three games while jeremy misses just one new manager long blank had already suspended the entire squad prior to a friendly with norway last. summer but it seems to me that the players are sincerely sorry for what happened i understand that they were affected by these events though i can't speak for them but i think everyone has to realise there was a slip in standards but now we should also be able to move forward. now from the pos world cup to one of the future events where russian prime minister vladimir putin has made some big defeat there will be no need for visitors entering russia to have a visa in twenty a day if the country secures the bid for that year's tournament delegation ahead harald may nichols in fact is currently inspecting football stadiums across russia
