it's all off now here in moscow the nuclear meltdown you grow in japan off to a number of loss of the fukushima power plant and it's not just reactors at risk of stuff falling on the explosion where you fuel world is a hell it's. forcing say radiation levels in a lot of the reality and dangerous to human health with reports one of the containment levels protecting one of the reactors has been damaged around two hundred thousand people have now been evacuated from the surrounding area. of

dollars you have been for nearly two. hundred people say fall and more than three hours of everything from the powerful earthquake in the devastation from an already been hit northeastern japan on friday. on live amongst themselves and their aim to supplant the old tomorrow from the tsunami the country is also well the international atomic energy agency for its eggs that seems in attempt to stabilize the fukushima. well as the situation in japan develops the world just how to prevent similar things in the future we sat down with the former governor of pennsylvania richard who shared his thoughts on most important lessons can be learned from the parts. at this time when the world is watching with near the developments of japan's

fukushima nuclear power plant experts see 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 storm work who was the governor of pennsylvania at the time sir thank you so much for joining us thank you guy and well first of all what do you think about the comparison but 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 a following tsunami but the technical challenges are pretty much the same so what happened at those three mile island was a partial core meltdown in one of the reactors how bad where the consequences back

then at the time i think we had no sense of what had really transpired 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 would be a lot more today 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 would tell 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 search the three mile island accident happened over thirty years ago when are we supposed to think that the japanese now are better at dealing with a crisis like that and you were packing nine hundred seventy nine or the soviets where in one thousand nine hundred six when chernobyl 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 it in fairness to the japanese however i think the fact that this was such an extraordinary natural occurrence. earthquake itself a record size earthquake followed by this giant tsunami that made this a little bit different and then he went before start talking about japan's handling of the situation the japanese experts decided to flog the reactors with an improvised flow from marine muck as i understand it right and now he 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 japan's 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 after 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 were went defunct everything they tried had failed and maybe this was just to their way of saying look we can't save this place and that's too bad but it does indicate that. defense in depth against these kinds of occurrences is absolutely nested sacré 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 a disaster like that hits another country with a power plant but not as technologically advanced you think people's fears are legitimate or you can believe that certainly in the united states i know and i

suspect in other areas where plants have been built anywhere near a fault line that they're rethinking their processes now they don't want to become 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 we 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 and different in other countries they want to ban it do you 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 oddly enough up to that time nuclear power and looked and looked upon as a savior for humanity that we were going to have electricity was to. good 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 a 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 policy so that governments have thank you west european union 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 represents a step backward in terms of their desire to build more nuclear plants sir considering how much is at stake was simply a huge industry do 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 her experience i suspect that the japanese officials are trying in good faith to determine what the facts

are as i said the worst thing we do is get out facts that are wrong yes you've got to calibrate your response the pentagon the accuracy the facts 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 and i just asked for a life before it referring of course to the three mile island accident what do you think the purpose of the proportion is going to be hearing if i do i 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 factor has to be. examined in terms of its source and setting within which it arises it's not an easy thing to do it's 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 there thank you guy. wealthy british style. market finance. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cars are there are no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report. if. any

yes my name is daniel schmidt this is joining us on the we're here to make a short presentation about the wiki leaks project. the first step in the fourth day is to get information out about the real world among our joint war on syria and the matter in the us weekly through the figures are going to be a good marker for you. if i ever put any sources in danger you would hunt me down and kill you. this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the project because it has become a war of all this all james bond with than about the actual information. but like you. told people around the the world

. oh. in india all she's available in the movie joint be the jewels be a movie those figures for her to the ground appearing truly told us to push girl

until you can a well settled measure which i suggested to go and look foolish rather said the colonel was her job as a retreat. nuclear meltdown fears grow into panels to a knob of loss of the she called and it's not just reacting to the risk of itself on an explosion where used fuel role it's a hell. hole far as you say radiation levels near one of the reactors and dangerous to human health more ports a lot of the key containment levels protecting one of the reactors is has been damaged around two hundred thousand people phenomenon ways and from the surrounding area. authorities have been for maybe two thousand five hundred people dead say far and more with the clean towels of the missing from the powerful earthquake and

devastating tsunami that hit me instant japan on friday. the ninety countries the sending aid to japan to cope with the all of them all of the tsunami because it is all through all of the international atomic energy agency for its expertise in attempts to stabilize the fukushima plant. or have all the bases developments on the devastating situation in japan in about fifteen minutes time but some of the small of these down to see the winds in various trap of the good for recent change the fourth round yeah that's right fourth round of indian wells that we should from plus the latest from make a hole that's coming up. hello there you're watching the scores and these are the headlines. fighting for the last

four gone long moved a step closer to charles semifinal. welcome back nani for the champions league the light is on tonight. so to lose stunned at indian wells that you're out of this a c three. let's start because until hockey league playoffs they were scar a locomotive if you just a win away from the last fall both of gone three one up and their best of seven series against atlanta and in our region respectively with sky getting a last gasp winner i'm watching that match with the wrong course of the. the future is looking pretty grim for the mosque or region side after game four left them with one win versus three four scholars say it is bird the visitors what was somewhat depleted going into this match with the players that it's a gash in and say gazing over both sides use an injury however vast but sykora managed to find a suitable supposition for yosh and they lived through cox to prove his worth by

scoring one of the three goals against the plants on saturday but the match at hand ends of the first period the pressure seemed to get to scar in the opening minutes with three of their players sent off to the same time that brought the home side and in the end it's all go thanks to ed watson live on dusty just in seven minutes of an off the second period now where the match evens out somewhat but with the home side still mostly in control boiling point was reached after a glance in mazing they hit the crossbar and then suing counterattack created a stir at the opposite ends a goal of the second period and in the third it seemed like a goal was the certainty one style got almost and minutes of play five on three just so minutes after a restart but that chance was wasted just like the rest of the our immense power play opportunities up to that point and to make matters worse constantine pandolfo was shown the line for ten minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct not seen but reagan was the next top player to lose his composure possibly jeezy's teams inability to

store and provoke the fights but that's lance hockey better and i like that's all disrupting the flow of the match proved to be the right strategy for the business side in the dying moments but a plan of the near perfect opportunity to double their lead less than simonis from the final buzzer and sealed victory here but young bullets shot just wide scott coach butts love sykora decided to pull his goalie about a minute and a half from sign and that worked exactly as he wanted it to a goal twelve seconds from the final buzzer by these than yourself. six caught in the overtime and score broke or more it's less than two minutes from the overtime buzzer thanks to mark c.b. i thought 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 launceston advantage of that and we were lucky to concede only one goal we were chasing the park for the rest of the match and call it twelve

seconds from the buzzer it showed our team of character. character plus goalkeeping skills and mark this match as both sides of. the body. were picked as the match the series now moves to see beauties group cost artsy moscow region siren are a victory then for the men since. they are just a win away from the western conference final as all you can take is a sixty for you to go three one up in that series so there are two more games to see. through to the last four if they beat to complete a series whitewash even cause we're looking to level the series with. there are surprise new leaders at the top of the russian premier league rough start there at the summit this morning after beating spartak moscow four nil and the game of the season at a more open the scoring often just six minutes into the second second half people

and. completed their wrath their preparation just. in the right to leave later this week and there was another shock when their on monday a russian premier league new poison. with a two zero when. it is champions league football tonight with it hoping to reach the quarter finals for a fifth season in a row they face must say i don't trust it after a goal destroying the first leg and the good news for me and i think is that portuguese winger nani is set to return it was thought he'd be sidelined for three weeks after picking up a leg injury against. but is in the squad so too is markel cleric he's recovered from a growing injury a united bounce back from a defeat against liverpool and chelsea with an f.a. cup whenever arsenal at the weekend but alex ferguson is expecting another tough game tonight but. after the games are also. it's nice to have the. big ties and. a military.

very experienced. team. who want to be well. well nasa they have been getting used to the pictured old trafford with a training session after a goal or strong home turf they need a win or score draw to go through a mass they have not been in the last eight of the tournament since becoming the first winners of the champions league trophy nine hundred ninety three midfielder i think bob or not is fifty again although manager did the shots still make united favorites. on paper you would expect it meant just you know it it will certainly go through should worry do it but we have our chance little opportunity if you like it football is not about statistics. and you have a tie this evening defending champions into milan need to overturn a one year old deficit against by munich 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 difficult task. 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 we will see tomorrow by and have hit form a six nil win over hamburg in the bundy's league or at least we can so our nabhan scoring a hat trick a welcome tonic after the knees coach louis van hole will be leaving at the end of the season after having his contract cut short but he's got a real chance now of reaching the quarter finals of the champions league let's switch to tennis where maria sharapova is through to the fourth round at indian wells an easy sixteen sixteen victory for the number sixteen see against iran as a france the russian champion here in two thousand and six wrapping up the win in seventy three minutes and also an easy win there the women's number one forearm

wozniacki against spain for many of you are saying martin is sanchez this was a. good day the last two three previous matches against the spaniard but it was no slip up making the fourth round for a fourth year running getting a six one six three victory and twelve minutes in a couple of days units were needed for match point to lead the rally with wozniacki eventually claimed the winner but. ah i see the men's top seed rafael nadal is also through to the next round beating america's ryan sweeting in straight sets and not showing any of the signs of the handspring injury that led to nearly exit the stray you know it was a shot for seed robin sauteing next crushing actually german political shriver soling coming into the match with three titles redmond is they'll be here but by all to convert step points in games that bullies are now on the tiebreaker. i see.

some action now from the n.b.a. where the memphis cribbed grizzlies have tightened their grip on the eighth and final spot in the western conference snapping it to game easing streak with one hundred five points to a team victory over the los angeles clippers thirty points from zach randolph helping them on their way in tennessee he also weighed in with twelve giving his side a nearly here in the first a three pointer in the second put its risley's fifty thirty three out. and he continued his scoring spree in the fall fighting off to defend his to make it nine hundred sixty seven a real rat then for memphis to keep the postseason hopes on the boil. let's go to cricket where pakistan has made it through to the quarter finals of the world cup that after a seven wicket symbolic way rain delays that affected this and actually pakistan would set a revised target of one hundred sixty two thirty eight was

a middle order batsman such as the. press of world cup day spring seventy eight of ninety seven leaving his side to the victory of pakistan will meet a stranger in the last week to construct the table i finally the official count down to the london twenty twelve olympics has begun following the unveiling of a clock in london's trafalgar square to mark five hundred days. until the games that champion rose paygrade and the college and sailors seen andrew simpson pulled off the covers still cloaked lights about four tons ten people today said put it up from scratch london twenty twelve chairman sebastian coe talked about what it symbolizes since. i think it's a fantastic other design is is cutting edge it's everything that london is i think it will be a fantastic fantastic visitor attraction for the millions of people not just from

london or even just the united kingdom not from people around the globe that will come here as an iconic landmark then be able to start celebrating the countdown. so that brings us to the end of the sports on back with more to say with the weather. down the official on t.v. hopefully cation your phone i pod touch from the. chargesheet lights on the good. video on demand our keys my fuel costs an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your.
