please. don't come. we've got. the biggest issues get the human voice ceased to face with the news makers. itself in the us a nuclear meltdown fears grow in japan after another blast of the she thought and it's not just react as a risk on stuff that reports eggs blow shit over uses a few words. of course you say radiation levels one of the realities of dangerous to human health reports one of the q containment levels with temps in one of the reactors has been downwards around two hundred thousand. places surrounding

area. knowledge is that confounded you two thousand five hundred dead so far and more than that seventeen thousand resting. place and devastating tsunami that hit the reasons why. countries around the world offer help to japan hates by natural i'm non-natives catastrophes summits because they this is another example of how mind hides on a full one hundred the progress of science science and the oil in the gulf that's actually not. about the situation develops the world left wondering just how to provide similar catastrophes in the future we sat down with a former u.s. attorney general richard thornburgh he shared his thoughts on what important lessons can be learned from the pots.

i think it's time when the world is watching with fear the developments a good pass for shimon nuclear power plant experts comparisons and examples in the past and maybe help for see the future analysts tell us it's not yet sure novel but very comparable to another tragic accident which occurred in the united states in nineteen seventy nine at the three mile island power plant which is part of the state of pennsylvania and now i'm joined by take work who was the governor of pennsylvania at the time sir thank you so much for joining us thank you guy well first of all what do you think about the comparison well there's an. eerie similarity between what's happening in japan today and what happened in pennsylvania in one nine hundred seventy nine. there are obviously differences because we didn't have to deal with a record earthquake or aftershocks or following tsunami but the technical challenges are pretty much the same so what happened to those three mile island was

a partial core of meltdown in one of the reactors how bad were the consequences back then at the time i we had no sense of what really transpired that it took a long time to complete the cleanup process and determine precisely how much damage had been done but about a third of the radioactive core had melted down prior to the. the reactor being brought under control and that was serious how costly was that well the cleanup cost was something that. really was neglected for a while we had to go and cobble together a group of contributors but it ran to about a billion and a half dollars for that one reactor and that was nine hundred seventy nine dollars so i'd be a lot more today if the news coming from the fukushima power plant is pretty scary we heard about several explosions at the plant and your assessment how. critical of the situation in japan right now what's most scary is that we can't get ahold of the facts and i know that very well from my time as governor at the time the three

mile accident was terribly frustrating you could not get a grip on what precisely the facts were people were telling you more than they knew or less than they knew self-appointed experts kept showing up and the company that ran the plant was a very poor source of information they misrepresented certain facts to us so we had to do was operate really as investigators and constantly go back to people for their version of the facts and then put that together with the with everyone else's service three mile island accident happened over thirty years ago and always supposed to think that the japanese now are better at dealing with a crisis like that than you were back in nine hundred seventy nine or the soviets were in one thousand nine hundred six months or novel happened one would certainly hope so i think one of the challenges when you have a major catastrophe like this is to learn the lessons that it teaches i think that

around the world people involved in the nuclear energy energy industry i spent a lot of time studying three mile island and apply some of the lessons they learned to subsequent projects but we're all human we make mistakes we forget we don't learn the lessons of the past and sometimes we pay a whale of a price for in fairness to the japanese however i think the fact that this was such an extraordinary natural occurrence the earthquake itself or a record size earthquake followed by this giant tsunami that made this a little bit different and it went on for thirty talking about japan's handling of the situation the japanese experts decided to flood the reactors with an improvised flow from marine muck as i understand it right and many saw it as a desperate move coming from a nation that is considered to. one of the most technologically advanced and people are asking whether it pains contingency planning for disaster

a was is really as good as. everyone thought it was i think that's a fair question to ask the flooding of the reactor with seawater and boric acid effectively destroyed the reactor and show that they were giving up on using more conventional means to cool it down again in fairness they lost all the electric power in the area the generators or. defunct everything they tried had failed and maybe this was just their way of saying look we can't say this and that's too bad but it does indicate that. defense in depth against these kinds of occurrences is absolutely necessary that clip that's what i wanted to ask you about i mean people are now looking at japan and thinking of japan it's struggling what happens if it is after like that it's another country where the power plant but not as technologically advanced you think

people's fears are legitimate where you can believe that certainly in the united states i know and i suspect in other areas where plants have been built anywhere near. that they're rethinking their process they don't want to be another japan and that sense and whether there's a solution or not we won't know until we've sifted through all the evidence that comes from this accident or heard about forty thousand people you know who took to the streets in germany for example to protest nuclear energy a similar actions took place in other countries they want to ban it i think that's the way to go well there have been strong feelings about nuclear power from the very beginning after the three mile island accident there were lots of protests enough up to that time nuclear powered looked and looked upon as a savior for the humanity that we were going to have electricity it was chew to. and leader it was going to be the solution to all or energy problems that all vanished with three mile island gradually lately there's been

a softening of the attitude toward toward nuclear energy for two reasons one is the rising cost of alternative sources of energy and second is a little more subtle and that's the fact that nuclear power doesn't give off of the kind of carbon emissions that are suspected to cause global warming so that made a favorite in some aspects of the environmental community what do you think the wrapper questions will be on the nuclear policies of the governments of the u.s. the european union and china and india they're all going to stop and take a deep breath and look at the consequences of this when they're fully available i don't think they're going to abandon their present commitment to nuclear power but i think that it represents a step backward in terms of their desire to build more nuclear plants sir considering how much is at stake basically huge industry if you think we're getting the whole truth about what's going on in japan and i'm in no position to make that judgment i saw their experience i suspect that the japanese officials are trying in

good faith to determine what the facts are as i said the worst thing you do is get out facts that are wrong yes you've got to calibrate your response to the penny upon the accuracy the facts are that you have and there i suspect if my experience is any guide they're working around the clock to try to make sure they have accurate information to convey to the public and to provide a basis for their response well you also write about this fiction and fact aspect. in the coverage at five disaster like this before it referring of course to the three mile island accident what do you think the core but at the proportion it's going to be hearing if i knew i'd go to the head of the class and could really provide japanese friends with some real guidance it's a process that has to be tested every fact has to be. examined in terms of its source and the setting within which it arises it's not an easy thing to do with the

single biggest challenge of emergency management is getting accurate facts so that you can make the right decisions you can be the best decision maker in the world but if you don't have the right facts you're in trouble thank you so much sir thank you gotta. get my name is daniel smith this is julian assange we're here to make a short presentation about the we can fix project. the first step in the fourth day is through to get information out about the real world coming to hear more on you i'm here in the secrecy is the biggest. fear to be a good marketer. if i ever put it in the sources in danger

cycling standard indian wells this year after cycling. that's the continental hockey league playoffs and luck i might say if you are savile i just i went away from the last fall both of gone three one up in the best of seven series against atlanta and now marie get respectively with scott getting a last win or watching that match with roman culture at. the future is looking pretty grim for the most original side after game four left them with one win versus three four scoffs a petersburg the visitors what was somewhat depleted going into this match with key players aleksei yosh and sergey zero both algy to an injury however vaslav sykora managed to find a suitable substitution for yosh and named it built out of group to prove his worth by scoring one of the three goals against the plants on saturday but back to the match on hand and for the first period the pressure seemed to get to score in the opening minutes with three of their players sent off to the same time that brought

the home side and inevitable goal thanks to edouard live on just in seven minutes moving on to the second period now where the match even out somewhat but with the home side still mostly in control boiling point was reached after our plants and mazing laid the cross bar and the ensuing counterattack created a stir at the opposite end a goal of the second period and in the third it seemed like a goal was the certainty once caught but almost ten minutes of play five on three just two minutes after restart. that chance was wasted just like the rest of the our immense power play opportunities ops of that point and to make matters worse constantine north was shown the line for ten minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct not seen but even was the next call player to lose his composure possibly judi's dean's inability to score and provoke the whites without france hockey better and i like that for all disrupting the flow of the match proved to be the right strategy for the visiting sides in the dying moments but our plan had been near perfect

opportunity to double their lead less than two minutes from the final buzzer and sealed victory here but young bullets shot just wipe scott butts like sykora decided to pull his goalie a minute and a half from so i'm and that worked exactly as he wanted it says a goal twelve seconds from the final buzzer by denise denise a six call into overtime and scott broke home arts in less than two minutes from the overtime buzzer thanks to moxie but even. though it was a typical playoff game a struggle from beginning to end the start of the game was hard because we had many players sent off at once had an advantage in that and we were lucky to concede only one goal we were chasing the puck for the rest of the match and caught it twelve seconds from the buzzer and showed our team a character. character plus goalkeeper and skills mark this match as both sides of netminders. and constantine berlin were picked as men of the match the series now

moves to st petersburg rome on cost for of artsy moscow region. then a narrow victory for the men from some pages but they are not just when away from the western conference finals taking place in a sixteenth rushing. to get three one not. surprising you need is at the top of the russian prime in this morning rostov the sun missed off the face in spots at last i. see. other mobs over the scoring are just six minutes and grab the second really in the second half and trim if a collective completed their right not ideal preparation for the play i acted in the europa league later in the week and there was another shock on monday our russian premier league new boys of all the legion of good are the senior when they're over. but it is champions league football tonight with manchester united hoping to reach the quarter finals for a fifth season in

a row they face marsay at old trafford after a goal of straw in the first leg in the good news for united is the portuguese wing at nani is set to return it was thought to be sidelined for three weeks after picking up my leg injury against liverpool but he's in this ward so to his model character he's recovered from a growing injury united bounced back from league defeats against liverpool and chelsea with an f.a. cup win over arsenal at the weekend but boss alex ferguson is expecting another tough game tonight. i. think the games are all terms and. it's nice to have a. big ties and. different from. really experienced. full team. i think we're well. trained on monday after their goal just draw with the reds village throw they need a win or score draw to go three last i have not been in the last eight of the

tournament since becoming the first one is of the champions league trophy in one thousand nine hundred three. is this again it's his side to become the first to win it all traffic although manage it it was still making a night at the basics. on paper you would expect that men just you know it will certainly go through do it but we have a little opportunity if you like it football is not about statistics alone and yet a tie this evening defending champions into milan need to overturn a deficit against by meaning the germans winning the first leg at the san siro and they also have a strong home record in the champions league winning seven success against a tough task to enter. but of course you have to believe in the victory. this game it's about one hundred eighty minutes we just play ninety minutes we lost one zero at home but we played well we created some chances so. tomorrow

is the other ninety minutes and we have to go for it we believe in it and we will see tomorrow by meanwhile has really hit form a six no win over in the going to sleep at the weekend so our robin scoring a hat trick that well you told me after the news that the whole thing at the end of the season after having his contract cut short but he's got a real chance now original quarter finals of the champions league. let's. the tennis player maria sharapova is through to the fourth round in indian wells an easy sixty six to victory for the number sixteen seed against out of france so the russian champion any new wells in two thousand and six wrapping up the win in seventy three minutes also an easy win that for the women's number one caroline wozniacki spain's many years ago they martina sanchez this was eight and then she potentially financed him for the day he goes to three previous matches against the spanish but it was no slip up making the fourth round for
