2:30 pm
hello this is the r t news channel from moscow these are all top stories for me kevin. thorn intervention in troubled libya gets closer as the u.s. repositions its naval forces in the region while the u.k. refuses to rule out using military assets against gadhafi regime. we talk french satellite images of the unrest in libya throw doubt to the west and claims it could guffey's military aircraft attacked civilians in protest. it's day one of the much heralded overhaul of russia's police to try and boost public trust in the force
2:31 pm
with many saying so it's the. next we'll look at space exploration and how it could help prevent earthquakes is r t talk to adam smith from the space science lab in london. this year we're celebrating fifty years since year ago daryn became the first man in space and you are presenting a new project a joint project between russia and the united kingdom could you tell us briefly about their twenty's said project for those who don't know what it is the project would involve as the name implies two spacecraft which would which would operate the earth about four hundred kilometers apart and they will be. on board which was started we 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 and
2:32 pm
volcanic eruption phenomena what would happen would be after twins 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 likelihood of an earthquake indicator and that would be derived from all the data with that it would be a short so if that indicator went into the red at the in a particular area the local authority in that 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
2:33 pm
damage from an earthquake is not the actual the quake itself it's usually the fires and. that sort of thing that happened after the earthquake and you can prevent a lot about it even 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 but perhaps we can say the cost is it just the earthquakes and tsunamis i mean is it the safe make of terrorism does it affect anything else any think there's a major movements the kind of corruption in so and in fact they might even be easier to detect in a way. 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. that civil aircraft has been as been affected
2:34 pm
so once again what kind of. time frames to get it we will we will look for launch in about twenty fifteen would be when we would expect to launch and the mission as i said three year mission so by the end of. twenty eighteen we should be positioned 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 would follow a larger satellite around the sky and bringing the two together looked like a really good mission and we've built on that's absolutely true that russian has a huge heritage in space x. so that counts a lot because you're working with people who is within that it's their culture their way of life and so that's fine and that makes them
2:35 pm
a very credible partner to work with well this is not the first time you're working with the russians you've also worked on a say used space craft what can you tell us about your experiences that well there was back that 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 space craft that you provided wants to i think these days things are much more open and it's a much easier relationship at the level that we're working out at the moment things are very open 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 it you are talking about the eighty's but from your experience how much difference is there between the soviet space
2:36 pm
science and the russian space science there's more going emphasis now on commercial space in russia than the was 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 bit but i think we're seeing russians for a science committee back into play particularly in earth related areas it's observation 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 laboratory 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
2:37 pm
those aspects and then understand those aspects so the one of the real problems in going to mars 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 on 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 of communication and the growing time lag in communications and the sense of general sense of isolation the fact that they have only a limited amount of 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 for the next generation of simulation which will be. more fidelity which will mean that they
2:38 pm
will be using equipment on their mars sandpit which is more likely quitman that they would be using what would you say we would be able to travel to mars if ever if we decided which is the go 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 and stop their moon program in a way you see america. wanted to first ok my view is that man on the moon. first but was so down 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 the movies 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 the real ones so i think that what happened is the brought some
2:39 pm
sticks to the political imperative in a way how much in your view there's the politics today effect pure science is not so much these days about national prestige 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 our individual nation the 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. that the nations that are going finally let's turn to the subject
2:40 pm
that is really of interest to many space tourism 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 but 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're rich enough you could make a bike 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 sort of suborbital flights which will get us from europe to australia now or something like that. maybe maybe it is really not that 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
2:41 pm
virgin galactic charge for ten thousand pounds for a few minutes in space i think that number could come down to a thousand crowns if there's an arch enough market because ultimately what you're looking at is a piece of technology that's not much more sophisticated than a major aircraft would you think would be the restrictions for those people who want to go well 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 bad i think that. an ordinary person healthy person even a person in their eighty's can travel in space it's not that it's not that bad. was that. this is the tom foreman and this tony the

record in the premier league however that coach carlos mencia last seen believes his team's chances overtaking than me so i think the slim best fifteen points off the pace in fifth place and the top four finish has become the focus i want it was doing against man united. when their number didn't don't say that we are all we have to believe obviously and objectively we have to you have to. be honest i'm not always very difficult but i love the guy but they're not the other games in the premier league that we want to arrive and the first four plays of the table. this is our make our way and poor form isn't the only problem being facing lee's last backlash lee cole has been in the headlines this week for accidentally shooting a work placement employee with an air rifle at the training ground in club and that's the manager generalize that's a problem the discipline of the club. he that from outside nobody can say that

here is all done i'm told people as we have been touting this should blame we would take it as usual we don't want to this beat the other side with that usually take and so it's important it's not true that you are but it's not the shipping i think that a player on the beach are so and so you can god you can judge the player on the pitch the player on the pitch are showing their play are showing of respect for that i thought i show interest but voters. fortifies. this is what you have to judge oh god thanks. andrew a lot in my notes on a quick look at how the table stood before kick off at stamford bridge united with a nice cushion at the top with twelve games left to play for chelsea just out of the champions league spots are going nuts but a win this tuesday evening would see them leapfrog tottenham and it would also the
