welcome back and quick look at the top stories we're covering for you here on our t.v. japan a war itself another possible explosion at the fukushima nuclear plant and the government does not rule out a consensual meltdown meanwhile radiation levels are on the rise now exceeding four hundred times the norm in some parts of the country twenty two people have already been exposed and hundreds of thousands are being evacuated from contaminated areas . as colonel gadhafi continues to cling to power the daily lives for many people

are slowly returning to normal but some western states paint a different picture calling for a no fly zone and seeking possible military intervention early investigate the real situation in the country. lifted the reception a new heights the u.s. vice president visits moscow backing the bid for russia's world trade organization membership to moscow has been negotiating a seat in the trade group for almost twenty years to washington now lending its strong support to the bit. o. as the international community continues to debate the role it should take and deliberate on the rest r.t. talks to russia's envoys in nato dimitri or goes in to gauge his view. reacher of those then is russia's envoy to nato he's expressed concern over nato plans for military intervention in the country mr lederach thinks speaking with r.t. do you support nato and e.u.

backing for libya's rebels greenspan took a bunch of abuse in principle what usually happens is this in order to start military operations you have to ask someone to invite you so it's not proper to come in uninvited. there should be a side doing the inviting from this side till it presentable it has to be legitimized what is now happening with the libyan opposition is approximately the same thing a problem lies elsewhere no one knows who these people are in reality we know just one person who formerly worked as part of mr gadhafi his entourage but all the others are total strangers more than that there is no information regarding the degree of consolidation of the libyan opposition the case in point quite likely is different centers in different provinces in that country it must be said incidentally that the latest events in libya indicate that mr gadhafi is not going to surrender quickly there are loyalty problems in his armed forces in the police force but as long as the libyan army retains its positions in libya and wins victories over the libyan opposition it's a mistake to say that the collapse of the gadhafi regime is just around the corner

this is why to my mind the west so far has been playing games for its own consumption they hold meetings with all sorts of people trying to invest in their powers but that has nothing to do with the agenda of stabilizing the situation in this north african country. i think no one knows today what's narea is the optimal one the problem is we don't have the facts or enough information the conflict inside libya has become for attracted many arab leaders say as much even though the attitude of mr gaddafi in the arab world has always been highly complex and despite the pressure that france the u.k. are bringing to bear on the arab league we cannot say that everyone would be wildly enthusiastic to see a western invasion will be are there is yet another important aspect of what arab analysts are warning about they say that mr gadhafi if faced with foreign intervention will media will become a martyr a victim in the eyes of the whole arab world in a very popular person and no one wants that to happen are you concerned by france's call for aerial ment's of the country. it's

a big problem how to do it from the technical military point of view nato doesn't have a clear idea about the level of training and quality of libya's air defenses let's assume that a country which begins military intervention by launching an air attack. well lou several combat aircraft will be a possesses some sufficiently modern including portable anti-aircraft missile systems who will bear responsibility for the first year casualties no one this is why i believe two processes are currently in progress on the one hand aggressive rhetoric as used in political consultations are held inside the western states and in the un security council work is under way to identify reputable opposition figures but on the other hand military planning is in progress that considers very different options a w.a.c.'s planes are in the air space reconnaissance systems in the old reconnaissance are fully operational as well trying to reveal the real situation in libya and the organization and strength of the libyan armed forces and the situation within the framework of regional provincial conflicts the info is fed to nato as relevant military structures but its readiness for action is equal to zero

libya is rich in oil is that's why the us is so interested in the country but. i think if libya were just a banana growing country there wouldn't be so much interest in his domestic situation including in the humanitarian severe of course libya is a big enough energy supplier to europe certain countries like italy for example are heavily dependent on libyan deliveries others are not so much talent but either way libya shares considerable we know that nato for example puts energy security matters at the top of its main agenda for this reason i think that this factor has a most direct bearing on the speed of the west decision making regarding libya no one wants to let the conflict become for attracted everyone wanted to be over is quickly as possible so as to be reassured about the guarantees of energy supplies to europe i think it's a very important problem aside from that there is yet another factor some major western oil companies have an axe to grind whether concessions in oil development projects and would be are concerned they are quite likely to be pushing certain

western countries towards hasty decisions with regard to an intervention in libya they think they'll be able to follow the military and thus get a unique access to libya's oil riches so this factor is also taken into account and discussed. would unilateral invasion by nato be a war crime. in that area and of course any invasion would be he had an initiative of nato as a whole or any nato member state if an action is not authorized by the un it isn't illegal intervention but what i am saying now is not a warning it is just a stream of fact as a matter of fact many people inside nato agree with russia no to position of the us on the situation in libya washington is being very restrained if not passive here some are laughing at the overly zealous france in the u.k. saying that those two are running ahead of uncle sam nobody knows why this is happening and whether there are some common scenario in place i think that the u.s. administration would not like to take any hasty actions against libya right now most likely they are monitoring the situation closely and preparations to possible

military engagement are perhaps in progress but a new war is dangerous for the u.s. now especially with a presidential elections looming ahead what was it all that any conditions under which you would support for military intervention in libya but the facts that's all only facts on the table of the u.n. security council saying that weapons were used against peaceful civilians in libya or heavy military machinery was used against humanitarian targets may force the security council to consider measures more substantial than political sanctions against the regime the thing is we don't have any facts we have reports from the b.b.c. c.n.n. and other media featuring some machine gunner firing his machine gun in the air at the same time we don't see any aircraft attacking instead we see people wanting a gun or for looking so cool if there were real aircraft attack in progress they want to be applauding the footage we see on american and british channels looks fake they create an illusion of military action where the aircraft where the bomb

raids where is the destruction casualties we hear so much about if all that is true evidence should now be on the table the security council doing that requires carrying out the decisions already passed by the council including the creation of special committees that establish the facts. well unless the facts are established by council cannot take the responsibility of judging something that doesn't exist. how are the rebels holding out against gadhafi regular army are they already being aided by the west. we assume that something is being done by the rebels and by the opposition you know the special forces that were used to evacuate citizens of western countries would have most likely remained there there have been instances of the rebels themselves in telling members of special forces combat groups from the west we're not naïve and are well aware that some part of the special operations have long been done in libya on the side of the opposition otherwise gadhafi to most of the army and police forces are loyal could long have clamped down on the opposition since he's not done so yet it is a question of secret and illegal military backing by special forces this is my

personal opinion i have no facts yet but i have experience and i can analyze a situation that's there and it was let's talk with self-defense in an ideal world how integrated with russia's missile defense and with nato. what is missile interception it's to see the attack on you to track it in and to shoot what stage does the cooperation if you're out at the stage of exchanging information on transforming the risks into threats then at the stage of detection by the tracking stations that started the attack thirdly at the stage of identification of the target this is attack review across russia towards europe or us bases or across europe on russia thought it was so tracking the identification of the targeting is the third task in the fourth task is to destroy the target jointly some nato skeptics tell us that we're russo skeptics rather tell us that nato can't be involved and you know the sourcing of security for europe well that's stupid because russia also has europe and russia is your goal not only under your roles in a political sense it's as far as the far east therefore i do believe it's our

common european colleagues and we should think strategic wise about the people's but not our own egotistical interest not to dabble in politics but be politicians this kind of a system should be created in such a way that it could equally guarantee security both to russia on the one hand into his partners on the european continent on the other and let me emphasize there is still time for those of you. who never give us more history it's rebels in russia's envoy teammates thank you for speaking so i'll take. this. radio. for the car because he's very good at. the most dangerous.

a timely goose last week when david blog agreed to stay on as have coach of the national team artie's richard bombproof late caught up with the man himself. this season hasn't been a kind one for russian basketball but the country's representatives in the euro league say scone him key part of the first hurdle this was to secure surprising probably on women has been one of the continent's houses over the last few years of black believes may have been a mucky storm point is just amazing the amount of injuries and physical difficulties that they've had this year i don't know how you. how you can combat that how you can fight against that you know the lose the main players that they have that they've missed throughout the whole year particularly i'm talking about very few who happen to know who are two of my guys from the national team you know it's just difficult to replace those guys and the other hand you've got to recognize cesco was an eight final fours in

a row something that's never been done i will forever will be down and we've got to maybe give them a break. however there have been a few crosspoint from russian league is one of the twenty stitches paid in yes' and looks like say it's cause eight you don't millions maybe finally challenged his season as we'll seen a reduction in the number of foreign players ploy may trade in the country which is certainly good news for russia's head coach but one thing about the league this year in russia is that there's less foreign response and it was less emphasis on the foreigners or more russian players are getting minutes and time to show themselves and and improving and for me as the russian national coach that's a good thing. but what are some old problems still remain a point guard being the key one jail holder still russia's present position with distinction for a number of years the pittsburgh native is nine thirty four and can be relied on for much longer and black believes it's up to the country's coaches to try and find a solution to this problem point guard position is the most problematic decision in

russia and has been for many years. and this is something that needs to be not only discussed but needs to be addressed from a teaching educational standpoint first at the lowest levels and then as we. work up into the higher levels in order to improve the bloc's attribute your quotes told until i'm going to show off a family trying to provide a solution at point government however they in no way need to be in the same class as someone like holden loon the likes dimitris demon t.d.'s or ricky rubio the clintons type stands in opposition and then release a country still has some way to go to the can produce plays a piece count i've got some interesting theories on this by the way why there are not natural point guards and russian what some of them are. educational and some of them are. cultural some of them are geographical when just to give you a small example you know ball handling and freedom of play usually is developed on

the playgrounds and how many people are playing outside in the playgrounds in minus twenty five degrees so you know that's a geographical reason it's very difficult to find kids who are just out there playing with the ball and playing free and developing the kind of imagination and openness for the game that you find when in war there are countries where guys just out in the streets play it all the time you know it seems like a little thing but it's a big thing that maybe one of the reasons we don't see a lot of natural point guards and it's been a lean year for russian basket bowl and black will continue to have to make do with a few resources he has a disposal i learned from one key american israeli will find a cure for his problems ition ahead of the upcoming european championships and if you're going to hear me his ongoing search will continue which of them both you don't see. more basketball out in the n.b.a. miami came out with a big win over malthus sol scoring the grizzlies by thirty three points that's their biggest margin of victory since december two thousand and nine when wade
