12:30 pm
say give us your feedback let us know exactly what you think c dot com which one of the stories is going to go to hits there tonight ok it's coming up to half past eight this tuesday the first of march watching i see live from moscow. we have pages now on our top stories these are the headlines tonight for intervention in troubled libya gets closer as the u.s. troop positions its naval forces in the region while the u.k. refuses to rule out using military assets against gadhafi his regime it's our top story also headlining from a fresh satellite images of be unrest in libya throw doubts over western claims that gadhafi is military aircraft attacked civilian protesters much more on that story throughout the night. here in russia it's day one of the much heralded over all of russia's police to try and boost public trust and force but many say the rebound he's only skin deep. thanks for being with us tonight next we look at space exploration and how it could help prevent earthquakes you hear me right as artsy
12:31 pm
talks with alan smith from the space science lab in the. this year we're celebrating fifty years since year ago guarin became the first man in space and you are presenting a new project i join 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 project would involve as the name implies two spacecraft which will which would orbit the earth about four hundred kilometers apart and they will be. mutation onboard which will study the are in the sphere from above and what we're looking for is the signal signatures in the on the spear which are precursors to earthquake phenomena and volcanic eruption phenomena what would happen would be after twins out there would
12:32 pm
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 earth quite probabilities. around the world what we would produce is some sort of indicator which is like. a likelihood of an earthquake indicated and that would be derived from all the data available but it would be a short so if that indicate a warning to the raid 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 the actual earth quake itself it's usually the
12:33 pm
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 the impact so we can't prevent earthquakes and we will lose a lot of infrastructure perhaps we can save the cost is it just the earthquakes and tsunamis i mean is it the same does it affect anything else any think there's major movements the volcanic eruptions are also in that and in fact they might even leads you to detect you know why. and of course there's a there's a whole different issue associated with what kind of corruption as we've seen recently in iceland where. civil aircraft has been as being affected
12:34 pm
so once again what kind of. timeframes do you get we we would 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 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 space so that counts for 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
12:35 pm
with the russians you also worked on as they used spacecraft what can you tell us about your experiences. well that was back that was back in the eighty's i worked on. instrumentation for seven in the mir space station and it is. 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 for what it means to i think these days things are much more open it's a much easier relationship at the level that we're working at the moment things are very good but even then the relationship at 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 you were talking about the eighty's but from your experience how much difference is there between the soviet space science
12:36 pm
and the russian space science there's more of an emphasis now on commercial space in russia than the words in the past new 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 i think that's. 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 way to listeners 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
12:37 pm
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 arrive six or eight months later in the 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 of communication and the growing time lag in the communications and the sense of general sense of isolation the fact that they 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 they will be using equipment on their mars sandpit
12:38 pm
which is more like the equipment that they would be using when would you say we would be able to travel to mars if if we decided because we're going to mars tomorrow we could be there in ten years. and it's. a matter of political germination just like going to the moon or something like that why did the americans and start their moon program in a way you see america. wanted to first ok my view and man on the moon. first but was there done that tick that box carry the question then was what was the purpose of future lunar missions and the lunar science was never the main reason for going to going over it 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 of apollo and those were the science missions real ones so i think that what happened is the box was text and
12:39 pm
the political imperative went away how much in your view does the politics today affect pure science it's not so much these days about national pristine 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 maximize the benefit to our own people to nation and 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. look the nations that have gotten finally let's turn to the subject that is really of interest to many space tourists and it may seem like
12:40 pm
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 but there's there's enough activity going on at the moment that means that in only a few years time you would if you're well enough if you're rich enough you could provide trip into space and see the black sky section. 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 sort of suborbital flights which will get us from europe to australia now something like that. maybe maybe it is really not of much as it's not so much technical feasibility all these things that 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 would charge ten thousand pounds for
12:41 pm
a few minutes in space i think that number could come down to a thousand pounds if there's a knowledge enough market because ultimately what you're looking at is a piece of technology that's not much more sophisticated than a major where do you think would be the restrictions for those people who want to know why it wouldn't be a particular comfortable ride you're going to suffer weightlessness and g. forces so that but i don't think they're that but i think that. an ordinary person a healthy person even a person in their eighty's can travel in space is not that it's not that bad. that has become normal and local is to me

a twenty forty five moscow time. hello welcome to the sports news and here the headline is a legend in the lineup brazil world cup winner of last call us started running the southern russian side lost three two to holders in nets in a russian cup clash. while in the clear wade really set to play for manchester united in cheers day's big english premier league game a chelsea office taking the punishment from the f.a. . and the last eight all to defending champions at balls into the quarter finals let me recap the next to join the next round this tuesday night. will be our second used to come but first a football and world cup win a reversal call us couldn't help these new sides on his debut and southern russian side crashed out of the russian cup last sixteen at the hands of all those synods
12:47 pm
this industry to the way they did in grozny after the bulge pushed the penalty for the visitors in front of thirty minutes then for me i had a lot of levels not just ten minutes later johnny was schooled in the design it's midway through the second half and i got a lot of it doubled that lead suddenly full time and reaching the bottom line is in boston a consolation for the new jersey so isn't it to go through like a school moscow from the quarter finals. moving to england and striker wayne rooney is available for tuesday night's clash at chelsea after escaping punishment for elbowing another player in the head he clashed with wigan midfielder james mccarthy in united's four nil away win on saturday referee mark clattenburg didn't send rooney off and still believes he made the right decision which in turn prevents the f.a. from taking further action no retrospective ban then for the striker who line up at stamford bridge this tuesday evening. well leaders united could increase their lead to seven points over also with a victory that they haven't won
12:48 pm
a chelsea for almost nine years on. please do you have the best defensive record that i merely however that coach caught on to loss he believes his team's chances of retaining any title is slim by fifteen points off the ice in first place the top four finish has become a focus. i want to mr winner here is my united. when their number they that don't say that we are out we have to believe but obviously and objectively we have to you have. to be honest and now it's very difficult for us to close the gap but there are other games in the premier league that we want to have and the first part of the place of the table. this is our make our very. poor form isn't the only problem i'm sure lots he's been facing blues left back ashley cole has been in the headlines this week for accidents and shooting a what placements employee with an air rifle at the training ground in call them
12:49 pm
but i manage its allies there's a problem of discipline applied. to that from outside nobody can say that here is out of control because we are going to have another dish of blame and we will take a dish usually we don't want to piss people aside we did usually take and so it's important it's not true that here there is no deceit i mean i think that they play out on the beach at our show and so you can god you can judge the player on the beach the player on the bridge or showing them for a play or showing of this pipe i thought that i thought these are are showing our respect for a. thought of the vice. this is what you have to judge no good. so after all that let's have a quick look at the table united with a nice cushion at the top it's relegates left to play chelsea just out of the champions league spots the moment when this tuesday evening it's even leapfrog tottenham and about some west brom are out of the relegation zone after they
12:50 pm
snatched a one one draw at stoke on monday night's drawing lots of second half strike was cancelled and i call a spade as equalizer. and as one more big lunch taking place in england on tuesday night as premier league side everton was the last championship side left in the competition breading in the fifth round of the f.a. cup when t.v. places separate these two the meeting in the f.a. cup for the first time five time when as ever two also the finest two years ago not to have told us chelsea on penalties in the fourth round replay meanwhile reading have already knocked back premier league west brom in the third round and qualify for the last eight for the second year in a row and winners will be away to either manchester city or aston villa in the quarter finals on sunday not to thirteen. i saw in amsterdam i regret could reach the quarter finals cheese day even if they don't know most go here in the russian capital but inside lead the russian counterparts three won in their best of seven
12:51 pm
series so victory in moscow would ensure it doesn't go into the last eight meanwhile it's all square to a piece between looking at t.v. and another minsk an atlantean service also facing each other which choose the evening. well to use on the darren cup winners actas remain on course for a third title up the beach in towns like side barry support two on monday to secure a foreigner series lanes and also making the quarter finals are still about few live once again thrash severe five nil the final score in that one wrestler and regular season champions are my god it's where their respective series that's a tool. and meanwhile from ice hockey great love to start to t.x. says russia has every one to fear the upcoming world championship including his nation's. back here as the legendary soviet netminder spoke at a press conference that was a back in embassy in moscow i'm not going to leave. you know whichever side plays it always plays above themselves the fans are cheering their team on so i think our coaches will accordingly make adjustments like paying extra attention to defense
12:52 pm
and counterattacks in the open he would like it to not be one crowd will force the silver to go out especially against russia that's because russia ranked number one in the world economy and despite losing last year's final and we want to play bridge construction but we are prepared for this play to win every single game so i think a lot of good hockey is in store for the fans. but also have appointed a new head coach to try to revise their fortunes this year and specialist yes because alaskans has taken up the hot seat until the end of next season this is a cure all this stepping into a place interest train advantage in share current course has worked with the top sides back home country national teams such as the few ania china and grace so good times to bring some glory to say scout right said the russian town has failed supplied by the yearly top sixteen for the first time in fourteen years that switch to the n.b.a. now where the chicago bulls have stepped up the battle for the number one seed in

the east after beating washington to try and their third victory in a row one hundred five to seventy seven with the final score on monday night well dang as derrick rose scored twenty one points apiece as the polls moved within the game with the miami heat in the eastern conference rose also had nine assists in addition to his tally and i speak here to get in no effort dunk the balls ahead by twenty four right in the fourth quarter and they went on to claim s. seven when the last eight games. now is 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 head to head at an exhibition match in new york bringing back memories of a u.s. open final in two thousand and two then sampras won it so a chance for revenge for agassi that is still paid as much as the his face grateful hand winner at the line and this starts is also just on the first set six three
12:54 pm
agassi did show glimpses of times gone by and managed to make the second set closer but he was broken at five games or sampras timed closes at seven i join their careers they were thirty four times with sampras twenty they both seem to enjoy rolling back the years in front of seventy thousand fans. and finally to winter sports and newly crowned barbs they world and world cup champion alexander's of course says they're not be turning his attention to the twenty fourteen sochi olympics the russian veteran then dismissing fears he could once again retire the thirty six year old has returned from germany where he expects the local favorites become russia's first a world champion of course alexy were rather also with the two man events to match the world cup glory plus they clinched the overall title at the same track and it's a so-called had retired from the sport last summer but then returned to enjoy the
