welcome back we'll use a recap of our top stories here on our t.v. u.s. warships are assembling near the libyan coast amid growing speculation of nato intervention in the oil rich country one of the same time critics say that claims about colonel gadhafi assessing topical weapons have been altered for no longer ring. and protesters in arab countries and look for western support we take a look at history which suggests that it only backs of mockers sees it can't control and those that it runs through russia as well that was the case with hamas in gaza

which was the night international just to see for its opposition to certain interests. also outraged after allegations that a u.s. psychological warfare units news line trades on senators to secure more cash transfers racing fears over the military's reach into political life. well next we'll look at space exploration and how it could help prevent earthquakes as our he talks to alan smith from the lowered space science aboard tree in london that interview coming up. well this year we're celebrating fifty years since year ago guarin became the first man in space and you are presenting a new project joint project between russia and the united kingdom could you tell us briefly about the project for those who don't know what it is the to interpret it would involve as as the name implies two spacecraft which will. the earth

about four hundred kilometers apart and they will be. a miscommunication on board which will study the are in the sphere from above and what we're looking for is the signal signatures in the spear which are precursors to earthquakes phenomena volcanic eruption phenomena what would happen would be after twins out there would be a mission which would be an earthquake prediction program and the data from that would be correlated on the ground and what you'd have is something like a website or something which gave the earthquake probabilities. around the world what we would produce some sort of indicator which is like a but a likelihood of an earthquake indicator and that would be derived from all the data available but it would be a short term so if that indicator went into the red at the in a particular area the local authority in the area would take action and they might

have up to ten days notice that there's a very high chance that there's going to be an earthquake in that area within the next ten days and they would do whatever they could to mediate the damage caused by the earthquake so you'd have less collateral damage less loss of life the main damage from an earthquake is not yet sure the quake itself is usually the fires and . that sort of thing that happened after the earthquake and you can prevent a lot of that even you know if you know things like to turn off the gas mains to turn off the electricity to reduce the likelihood of fire and just to prepare people for the likelihood. an earthquake so you will save a lot of lives that way and you will reduce the impact so we can't prevent earthquakes and we will lose a lot of infrastructure but perhaps we can save the cost is it just the earthquakes and tsunamis i mean is it the safe make authority does it affect anything else if

there's anything there's major movements the volcanic eruptions are also in that and in fact they might even be easier to detect in a way. and of course there's a whole different issue associated with work i reckon options as we've seen recently in iceland where. civil aircraft has been has been affected so once again what kind of. time frames do you get we will we will look for launch in about twenty fifteen would be when we would expect to launch and the mission as a three year mission so by the end of. twenty eighteen we should be in a position to you know where to go why have you chosen russia as a partner we had some russian scientists visiting us in the u.k. and they were talking about a single satellite mission that they had in mind and we had in the u.k. . some ideas for a small satellite which will follow

a larger satellite around the sky and bringing the two together looks like a really good mission and we've built on that's absolutely true that russian has a huge heritage in straight sets so that counts a lot because you're working with people who is within their it's their culture their way of life and so that's fine and that makes them a very credible partner to work with well this is not the first time you're working with the russians you were also worked on as they used spacecraft what can you tell us about your experiences. well that was back when i was back in the eighty's i worked on. instrumentation for seven in the mir space station and. it was interesting and different we didn't really know very much about the spacecraft it was very difficult to get information about the spacecraft and provide a means to i think these days things are much more open and it's a much easier relationship at the level that we're working at the moment things are

variable but even then and now the relationship but the science level is very good it's very open very friendly very positive. and i really do enjoy working in that sort of situation so i'm looking forward to it you were talking about the eighty's but from your experience how much difference is there between the soviet space science and the russian space science there's more of an emphasis now on commercial space in russia than the was in the past and the launch vehicle particularly of a very very impressive launch vehicle program i think there's been an emphasis in that and. there's been i think there was a time when russian space science diminished a little bit but i think we're seeing russians for a science community to play particularly in earth related areas rights. which is what this is all about let's now talk about mars five hundred our ground

based experiment simulating manned flight to mars how realistic would you say it is after all there is no weightlessness and it's just a warehouse with a scientific. going to mars is a very complex endeavor and we can't simulate it in one go so what we have to do is separate out the various different difficult aspects of it and then try to isolate those aspects and then understand those aspects so the one of the real problems in going to markets is getting people to get on with each other for that period of time and still be effective when they when they arrive six or eight months later when a service and then come back again so it's not meant to be a perfect. simulation. it's meant to just tease out some of the real issues and some of the issues are things like the difficulty communication and the growing time in communications and the sense of general sense

of isolation that we're going to have only limited supplies etc so all those things have been well simulated. the it's never going to be possible to simulate low gravity or the actual sort of weightlessness of the trip but i think hopefully this will go on to the next generation of simulation which will be. more fidelity which will mean that there will be using equipment on their mars sandpit which is more like the equipment that they would be using what would you say we would be able to travel to mass if we decided because they're going to mars tomorrow we could be there in ten years. and it's. a matter of political determination just like going to the moon or something like that why did the americans then start their moon program in a way you see america. wanted to first ok my view is that man on the moon. person but was there done that tick that box carry

a question then was what was the purpose of future lunar missions and the lunar science was never the main reason for going to going very because apollo wasn't really a scientific program they did some good science but there's an awful lot more that could have been done if there'd been a couple more missions they canceled the last missions on apollo and those were the science missions wrong so i think that what happened is they got some sticks in the political imperative when the why haven't you in your view does that politics today affect pure science it's not so much these days about national christine it's more about national economics these days we have to work together because it's just all too expensive to do it on your own and when we do work together we try to maximise the benefit to people nation scientists of course are irritated by this put the politicians if you like have to bear that in mind so politics is there it's

economics more than politics and one thing that the scientists are doing all the time is trying to encourage public interest because without public interest we're not going to get funding and so we need to be relevant we need to show how or going to mars benefits the the nations that are going to finally let's turn to the subject that is really of interest to many space tourism and it may seem like a far away dream at the moment but are we going to get to the point when it's going to be open to the public that there's there's enough activity going on at the moment that means that that will be in only a few years time you would if you're well enough. if you were rich enough you could you could buy a trip into space and see the black sky. when space hotels and things i think are probably farther away than going to mars but i think that the public will have the possibility whether we can. get some

a sub orbital flights which will get us from europe to australia now or something like that. maybe maybe it's really not a much as it's not so much technical feasibility all these things are absolutely technically feasible it's whether or not you can get the investment to do it so how much do you think it would cost at the moment i mean virgin galactic will charge for ten thousand pounds for a few minutes and grace i think that number could come down to a thousand pounds if there's a notch enough mark because ultimately what you're looking at is a piece of technology that's not much more sophisticated than a major aircraft what do you think would be the restrictions for those people who want to go well they wouldn't be a particular comfortable rocket you're going to suffer what listeners and g. forces so that but i don't think they're that but i think that. an ordinary person can healthy person even

a person in their right it's can travel in space it's not that it's not that bad. because. wealthy british scientists scientists that's not on cuts because of.

the. market finance scandal why not what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report. to something strange the protean republic. the center of russian defense production. and how was he heads to central russia. to coffs become an industry. of the harsh winter makes for even more enjoyable. and where everyone can train to be a stump. for the other small. russia close up oxy. was that this is the

norm coleman and gloom is to meet the creation of the group of the food system the global food system is not created to feed the people of the world is created to maximize the profits. you're not trading the actual cash physical brain you're trading promises for grain to be delivered a month or six months or twelve months or eighteen months in the future. for reasons madi regulators silver or gold they can be negotiated and afforded the summary of. case. possibly it's not traded now but it could be in the future. the.

line in the ocean would be soon which bryson if you knew the song from months to transition these. days for instance on t.v. don't come. to us warships are something near the libyan coast amid growing speculation of nato intervention or of their country blood the same time critics say that claims about colonel gadhafi possessing comical weapons have an all too familiar ring. and protestors in arab countries look for bluster and support but take a look at history which suggests that it only backs that marcus sees it can't control and those that it can say it crush us about was the case with hamas in gaza which is the international legitimacy for its opposition to search and trusts. also outrage after allegations that a u.s.

psychological warfare you have used mind tricks on senators to secure more passion and troops in greece and fears over the military's reach into political life. elsewhere now with a sports update added you seem to have a bag full of treats of a trip down memory lane for tennis that yeah you were telling time to remember that much it doesn't seem that long ago does it when that pete sampras and andre agassi blackly the grand sounds bolero heading into their forty's now but pretty sure that the next edition much include contests to we've got up plus the news on the big games coming up in the. i know you're watching the sports and these other heads are. defending champs i saw as marching for the last day to take a string of places are up for grabs tonight. plus in the play

a really set to play for manchester united against chelsea all for avoiding punishment for me as a. person i guess and revise one of the great rivalries the texts. that stopped the ice hockey there were three more teams could reach the quarter finals to save me after defending champions and boss claimed a place last night when it takes so much is being played between local might cease and denominator and the style that best of seven series i tied it to a face was an armory global progress if they'd be in the russian capital whether teton be gone cup winners that barge remain on course referred sokoloff to be seen as a. full see on monday to people born male seriously also making the calls as a sound about you i think once again rush to be a five nil to score in that one no matter the regular season champions out on guard spread their respective seasons to see roles. for skull with the first side into the next trend following

a four three when i saw fact that some muscovites and the magic down in the series they need eight so great stuff on open to spock and seven minutes to get the make glimmer of a scholar not to be at the end of a ranking like simplest one still and yet here you talk putting the business in front of you know it's not i that's why i say the second keeps across i would get. so realism i would screw it getting into. the right spot. through the second of the night it's. and when i left the static ticket into the last day. meanwhile film i saw the great and i just laughed when i checked says russia has everyone to fear the upcoming world championships including host nation slovakia as the legendary soviet netminder spoke at a press conference at the slovakian embassy in moscow among the couple because you don't want to you know whichever side plays it always plays of themselves the fans

are cheering you on so i think our cultures will cause a little make adjustments make paid tax returns in some countries here it may contribute because you feel the state it's a good. speech against russia that's because russian incoming money to build speed the spine of every team we want to play to russia which will prepare this league three to be in every single game. you can still feel. that much tonight are breathing a sigh of relief their star striker wayne rooney is available for the knights clash against chelsea after escaping punishment for elbowing another pie in the head by a clash with wigan midfielder james mccarthy at the weekend referee mark clattenburg did not send rooney off and still believes he made the right decision which in turn prevents the f.a. from taking the matter so no retrospective ban men for the striker who lined up at

stamford bridge this evening well you know i think could increase that lead to seven points i've asked him with a victory but they haven't won it chelsea for almost nine years and please please have the best defensive record in the premier league however their coach and fell off a police team's chances of retaining their league title slim fifteen points off the pace and that's not all finnish has become their focus. i want to mention the winner goes my united will. be the. we are out you have to believe. and objectively we have to have. to be honest now it's very difficult for us to close the gap but there are other games in the premier league that we want to arrive and the first four plates of the table and this is i want to make our very well poor form isn't the only problem he has been facing his left back ashley cole was in the headlines this week for

accidentally shooting a work placement employee with an air rifle at that training ground but the manager denies as a problem is this a pain at the club. from outside nobody can and say that he has all done i'm told because we haven't got another they should blame who with a condition we don't want to speak on the side with a geezer with a key and so it's important is not true that he had that is not the supreme good i think that the player on the beach at arsenal and and so you can't judge you can judge the player on the pitch the player on the bridge are showing them for they are showing of respect or that i thought i was showing others by providing a. form of defiance. this is what you have to judge most of them. so let's have a quick exam appetite but united was a nice cushion probably the top was a dozen games left to play chelsea just out of the champions league sports of the

moment but when the same thing would seize them the rocks on the bottom much bromide to the relegation zone off their one one draw from the start of monday's. possible mantissa couple talking to the new head coach to try to revive that of the twenty and specialist joining us because rufus taking up the hot seat is on the end of next season the fifty six year old is stepping in sync with interim prime that researcher poorly has announced this is expected to bring lots of experience to the club and that is something he does have in abundance having worked with top side fact i am with national things such as china and greece to prosper bringing tears skull back to the after it was glorious and now waiting game after the russian power has failed to qualify for the euro league's top sixteen at the time in fourteen games let's switch to the n.b.a. where the chicago bulls have heated up the battle for the number one seed in the east their latest victory over washington is that one hundred five to seventy seven

the final score on monday evening and derrick rose scored twenty one points and places the pools blue to be. the miami heat in the eastern conference right however you have nine assists as well and a nice beats know it or don't put the ball was ahead by twenty all eighty four when they went on surprise that plays at their seventh win and that. was one of the great rivalries in tennis and even as they head into their forty's pete sampras and andre agassi are showing it's not over yet the pair went ahead and that should make the match the goal bringing back memories of the usa and finally the fantasy and then sampras won it so it john's for revenge for agassi pistol pete hasn't lost much of his firepower ice a great forehand going to that the line and it still says a. he won the first set six race i guess he carried plenty of times gone by and managed to make the second closer as he was broken by games all examples when told

by the back seven five three thing that we were trying to persuade plenty of a lot of things we enjoy easy that we. can finally temperatures of minus twenty two couldn't prevent barons and spectators turning out to watch and flying on skates is a remote stone or a constant in part of health or is that sick. an impressive three hundred fifty needle or nice trick was a right to keep working must go to host the crucial third stage of the question i swirl championship and the downhill internationalized kiddingly from twenty four countries where we get to put this to the test at the toughest been in the history of this new sport. sometimes with it's the most difficult track it's not very fast but it's very challenging as there are many obstacles coming one after another that's why there are so many holes and it's very hard to prepare for

a little strict struction and despite the freezing cold with temperatures dropping as low as minus twenty two degrees thousands of spectators to did some temp event and no one was disappointed they had actually noted the ice and oh eyes were on the track russians are new to this kind of sport but i came to learn quickly and available for scoping to gain some points at home and he stick to major playing for a place in the final but failed to progress at the last hurdle. you but your prospects feel unfortunately i was just too as far as i was eager to get use of best results with my legs just wouldn't go for hard to get prepared for such events it's difficult to sustain top form. and so the final turn out to be a few years jewell between current leaders are to be like anyone feel and came of this trial courts will be flying feen picked up where he'll left off from the previous man diminishing older ones and bill lining easily storm to his second

successive beach week extending his lead at the top of the rankings. truck for me and i managed to do almost five clean runs i have real problems in the final after the steep part but i actually i got my bus back i got a slow start and again an awful start all right i like a little bit beat up. like hampered by get on the ice and additional isolated. and there was still everything to settle for it before and decisive stage in quebec so it tells fight to the finish between still lining isn't dissipated on the nineteenth of march. archie and that brings us to the end of the sport for the moment we've got more a bit later on next time it is the weather. hungry

for the full slump we've got it first the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on the potty.
