market rhino. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause report on our t.v. . this is the r t news channel one story dominating our coverage tonight japan has been devastated by a massive tsunami of the biggest earthquake in the country since records began one hundred forty years ago thousands flee to higher ground buildings and ships have been washed away in at least one hundred forty two people are reported dead with the number rising all the time police in japan are reporting that hundreds of bodies have been found drowned in the sea of sendai the capital of the worst in region the same area suffered a massive explosion at

a petrochemical plant the hole for sif egregious including russia's far east is on the tsunami alert as massive waves threaten to recover beyond the japanese coast. russia's far east had been braced for any tsunamis with people going to higher ground but the worst danger does appear to have passed let's get the latest from our personal what is the situation on the night while the cool islands or located right here in the neighborhood just several miles away from japan and one of them has already been hit by eat three meter high we birds around the plate of a one the story building thankfully no one was injured or killed in that is that of a local infrastructure was not damaged as well nevertheless of goodies evacuees around eleven thousand people in the entire region to higher ground or all the cry alert for any type of situation president reagan would have said is that there has ruled. local emergency services to be prepared for any type of scenario and there's

also the emergencies ministry to get ready to help japan horrific disaster an already heard reports got through at least six of the ministries jets are on standby ready to transport. rescuers doctors medical equipment even a mobile hospital to japan being needed for now is an official request from japanese authorities but everybody in the in the far east is on high alert and i think that's the situation in the entire northern pacific region at the moment to go to skim off a spring is that today there were levy on standby because it has more details come through to you while experts warning that radiation levels now are rising at the fukushima nuclear plant and there is a higher risk they are saying of a leak if the situation isn't resolved in the next few hours talked to robert jacobs is a professor of nuclear history and culture appear at ashima peace institute he told

us that nuclear power stations are programmed to shut down during major earthquakes . but when the cooling system fails as apparently happened in one of the fukushima plants there should be other systems that other cooling systems that then kick in so in theory this is the kind of safety procedures that will avert any kind of any kind of event any kind of nuclear bed but of course one system can fail and other systems can fail as well so what happens with that with probably dangerous is that these reactors have shut down so they're no longer generating electricity but the cores remain very very hot and so those chorus need to be cool and if the core if the cooling systems fail then the temperature of the cores can rise and that can lead to a variety of different sorts of incidents in which radiation may be released in the environment these plants are triggered to shut down when. you try to tap it over

a certain level so that the automatic and quick shutdown of the plants is the first safety step the second safety step is the redundancy of procedures such as coolant procedures so that if there is a failure there will be a secondary system that. will look in so that no system is relied on a lot and. we managed to speak to two witnesses of the devastating earthquake they were in tokyo the capital at the time when it hit. and there was a huge ask him to put you know. he said i'm talking about the continued quite a long you know about the lack of. however. if you should prove so i believe you know if you're going to be in south africa to sell out and four hundred or eight. we're still not clear how much damage it is we've heard that there was

a tsunami and the cost was on around or usually it is announced forty seven people are already killed there we expect that number will be in cleese them a dramatically usually we're expected to ask people stops you know pretty even so i think i. want to use a couple of minutes though and then it continued several times in one hour or so because i mean next. we are not so you have if you have known about it i think so per the area in propre actually it's a place it is center of experience the same types of athlete clucky years ago. experts were expecting and we can see of he's got thirty years so last time was one thousand nine hundred seventy eight so actually happens our it was expected and i believe in my job as interim government and the local government in that region

was not really what this is us. well the developing news if you've been listening to the program for the last fifty minutes or so is the authorities worry that there are could be something happening at the fukushima one nuclear power plant there are two for consumer plants there's a nuclear plant one plant to the problem appears to be in plant one the n h k national broadcaster was reporting earlier on that all six reactors there had shut down automatically but the problem we're seeing now was brought on i believe by an electrical problem preventing all the cooling pumps from reactor one from functioning properly because of that. there needed to reduce the heat around the core this is what's causing the problem the approach up to date on the latest we know a couple of minutes ago authorities saying there is a worry or one of the news agencies saying there is a worry that there is a rise in radiation there we don't know what impact that would have on the public

whether it's contained whether it's not said we don't know if it's a reason to worry we did hear earlier on today that authorities were saying there was a state of emergency there they were monitoring that plant they're revising people within three kilometer radius to to leave their homes in a three and five kilometer radius i believe from memory to stay in doors that's the latest we know about see it at the moment we'll of course bring you more as we get it know dmitri straw check is director of the international seismological center in london he says predicting earthquakes is almost impossible. to do. it still is. it's not an operational matter on although everybody do you think would be easer neutral but we trample on mark from being able to do it the seismologists xynthia is only a hundred years old so. do expect that you're going to do it it's not

a matter of being. prepared to predict that it's a matter of being prepared to withstand earthquakes and you know you well played in the. tsunami in japan is suffering from right now beers is very difficult to deal with as be could travel the very last. week were viewed in the vicinity or just been used caused so they only had you live three minutes to respond only it is very difficult. nations to prepare for seismic tragedies on this scale of course space expert professor alan smith gave us of inciting things the joint british and russian system where two spacecraft study the atmosphere from orbit could be the key what we're looking for is the signal signatures in the sphere which are precursors to earthquake phenomena and volcanic eruption phenomena

the main damage from an earthquake is not the actual earthquake itself it's usually the fires and. that sort of thing that happened after the earthquake and you can prevent a lot of that if 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 of an earthquake so you will save a lot of lives that way and you will reduce the the the impact so we can't prevent earthquakes and we will lose a lot of infrastructure book a 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. or a couple of our top story now the northeast of japan which has been hit by a massive tsunami caused by the biggest earthquake in nearly a century and a half the official number of dead is currently one hundred forty two and it is rising tonight perhaps was worrying now is the damage caused by the fukushima

nuclear power plant the plant that lies about one hundred seventy miles that's two hundred seventy kilometers northeast of tokyo the tokyo electric power company reportedly saying tonight that pressure inside the reactor there one of those containment vessels is rising and there is a risk of a radiation leak a meantime the city of sendai has suffered most in this disaster with the worst of the death toll in casualties the fear that perhaps thousands of people could have perished today there's a major search and rescue operation under way involving military planes and ships we will bring you up to date on the situation in japan as it develops here in the arts international.

has really changed pre-writing still needs untried powder snow speak to kill it quick john's creative one choices and the best experienced riders to fulfill. a free ride world tour was created in two thousand and seven as a joint competition for skiers and snowboarders and it's the most significant around for the sport clear writing is a great tool for traveling for traveling the world for having nice expressions for pushing yourself for being scared sometimes you know it's a great way to get to know yourself rosa khutor is an exotic location just a few kilometers from the black sea but it's also becoming a mecca for free riders who are searching for the best mountains around the world the rain is very good the snow is very good and now the infrastructure with the resort. is perfect. i'm convinced there's

a big future for reading this is a brand new resort with facilities to suit old skill levels and will be a venue for alpine ski runs at the twenty fourteen olympics but despite its in fancy the writers already feel comfortable here because of the terrain and fresh powder out in the mountains. krasnaya polyana has always been a great place for free riding however there had been no facilities after ski lifts were built it's much easier to get to a slope nevertheless i think there are more prospects for free right here than for classical olympic disciplines because there is a lot of snow here and the weather is very unpredictable free riders are becoming transmitters in winter sports as more and more prefer to climb high up the mountains to get lots of snow and lots of adrenaline the number of top of bands is increasing as well as the amount of equipment being sold. in russia true writing is still a can only because what is becoming new poor people it pains to growth of the sport

worldwide nevertheless the development of russian writers is obvious we've had research doing up in the course iraq and performing well at the recent such a stage of the world tour and with this sort of to rain on their doorstep they will have every chance to progress however it's not only about the sport it's about the lifestyle and if you're a sphere writing is is having fun with some friends. in the fresh air close to the nature. travelling. and stands progressing. the physical but also on the on the mental aspects it may be hard to explain and understand free riding but when you get to the moon and we can sit with your eyes no words are needed and. argy bargy. finally a four hundred year tradition makes for literally the largest football game in the world no need to worry about formations here though with the entire tired showing
