on the good. video on demand. she's mine gold coast's and morrison street with the palm of your. question on the call. it's now a half past the hour here in moscow and with us here recap now at our top stories and it's a situation critical and japan's stricken nuclear power plant with cooling systems failing in all six reactors and threats of a nuclear meltdown now rising to the highest levels since the explosions began at that facility japanese officials confirm a radioactive materials have leaked into the atmosphere that the radiation level currently exceeds the acceptable norm. on the death toll from friday's a devastating earthquake and tsunami climbs to over three thousand with almost two

thousand injured and over seven thousand people still believed to be missing. and in a russian regions close to japan residents and emotionally services are on a high alert despite officials claiming there's no power and a radioactive danger meanwhile moscow's boosting its humanitarian aid and energy supplies to japan creasing the number of rescue workers in the disaster struck areas. but as the situation in japan develops the world's left wondering just how to prevent similar catastrophes in the future we set out with the former governor of pennsylvania richard thornburgh happen to share his thoughts on what important lessons can be learned from the japanese disaster and over past experiences. at this time when the world is watching with fear the developments of japan's fukushima nuclear power plant experts comparisons and examples in the past so maybe

help or 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 the three mile island power plant which is part of the state of pennsylvania and now i'm joined by take form virk 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 this 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 it really transpired and 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 costs 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 situation a little power 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 or the everyone else's service 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 were in one thousand nine hundred six winter 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 have 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 the earthquake itself a record size earthquake followed by this giant tsunami that made this a little bit different but anyone that went before 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 campaign'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 that reactor and showed 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. sunk everything they tried had failed and maybe this was just their way of saying don't say this and that's too bad but it does indicate that. defense in depth against these kinds of occurrences is absolutely nest egg zachary 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 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 and i know and i

suspect in other areas where plants have been built anywhere near a fault line that they're rethinking their process they don't want to become another japan in 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 cope has 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 looked looked upon as a savior for humanity that we were going to have electricity was to. their leader it was going to be the solution dollar 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 itself the government said 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 basically huge industry and you think we're getting the whole truth about what's going on in japan well i'm in no position to make a judgment i some other 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 depending upon the accuracy of 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're also right about this fiction and fact yes aspect. in the coverage of five disaster like this before it referring of course to the three mile island accident what do you think the point of the proportion is going to be hearing if i knew i'd go to the head of the class and good 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 there thank you guy. yes my name is daniel smith this is julian assange we're here to make a short presentation about the wiki leaks project. the first step in the fourth day to get information out about the real world claiming to have a war on syria i'm going after her. and she refuses because. going to be a democracy. if i ever put any sources in danger he

it is a situation critical at japan's stricken nuclear power plant cooling system is failing in all six reactors and threats of a nuclear meltdown are rising to the highest levels since the explosions began at the facility japanese officials confirm that radioactive materials have leaked into the atmosphere and the radiation level currently exceeds the acceptable norm. on the death toll from friday's a devastating earthquake and tsunami climbs to over three thousand almost two thousand injured and over seventy thousand people believed to be missing. and in a russian regions close to japan residents and emergency services are on

a high alert despite officials claiming there is no current radioactive danger meanwhile moscow's a boosting its humanitarian aid and energy supplies to japan when increasing the number of rescue workers in disaster struck areas. i will have all the latest developments on the devastation in japan in about fifteen minutes time but for now we cross over live to kate i do sports desk and it's a big night ok for russia's regular season i saw the champions tyro yes this is our last must win tonight to stay in the paint shop playoffs. so life places schools coming up next. hello welcome to the sports news and these other top stories. now another is do or die for k h l champions that boss is that unbeaten solid action a quiet child by a quarter finals and so far so good. while spots like stunned southern side are

rustbelt top the russian premier league for a short while when google every company. and russian brothels in are suffering the upsets some stones are set up and all russian battle with maria sharapova as indian wells. well the football and tennis news coming up a let's start with a continental hockey league playoffs red double defending champions at boston galvanise on the verge of crushing out of the last eight as the man from cars and it informs all about you live for a must win game in eastern conference unbeaten salas could become a side to make the semifinals this tuesday night but that trolling three nil after three periods happened then i think the first mixing not all myself also i was not in the second to make an advantage i just saw it in the other match regular season champions i'm gone are looking to level the best of seven contests with metal i get to choose sides thought around each other and opened in the last minutes of the first period the atlanta guard just thirty two seconds later that's

a lead level sequence and middle of the second times i just got off much better lead to halt but this time our god made it five minutes to level so you can score right games it was a serious. one and the rest scar and looking at these are guys just one win away from the long haul flights are gone three one off in that best of seven series against atlanta fronting on the leader respectively with scott getting exhaust gas going up on monday nights. now champions league football returns this tuesday not as much tonight hoping to reach the quarterfinals for the third season in a row they face must say it's old trafford after a goal. store in the first leg as the good news you know i said is that portuguese will get nani is such return it was thought he'd be sidelined for three weeks countered with not a leg injury in the three one defeat a little told but he's been around in the squad so too has michael carrick who was recovered from a growing injury in as a parent league defeats to the reds and chelsea they too know for a cup quarter final victory when asked on sutter that that's not

a tax write spokesman expecting another tough day this is. a perfect parting the game's old terms and it's nice to have the upper hand make ties and. really time the main difference imo i think we are in a very experienced travel minus a team. and they want to play well. say has been doesn't use to the pitch as old trafford with a training session after the goalless draw or home surfing need a win or score daughter goes through the french side have not been in the last eight of this tournament since becoming the first side to lift the champions league with nine hundred ninety three they do have a midfielder much of a nothis again the manager to date has shown still think she lied to other favorites. on paper you would expect it meant just you know it didn't certainly go through should already know it but we have our chance little opportunity if you like if it is not about statistics

a label and on the other side is to say the defending champions internet need to rovers and i want no deficit against by a minute after the german side won the first leg of the san siro angriness league it seems also to have a strong home record in the champions league winning seven successive games so a difficult task for into 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 and 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 well meanwhile brian have a rich vein full of all your golden nets a half written a six mil a winner one hundred homes made on saturday it was a welcome tonic on new year's college minivan halward believe in atlanta the season having its complex short and twelve months but now his side has a real chance of reaching the champions league quarter finals. and the role of

a surprise new leader at the top of the russian premier league southern side lost off our summers after beating spotlight most well known at home in their opening game of the season or star starting in guns blazing and getting the penalty in the first act minutes past saif science results in kona going on a dime off the head. and it is found another corner of the best second after the fight against him he said almost reasonable post sponsored comeback chances but i expect to be soon the real reason it's the decent guy from distance. but great guys again for spots like the family that lost the passing a box odd to make it only out spots that i actually knew rightly during the week instead of the palatine i ended up signing first i. am not result wasn't the only

shock premier league new boys not old were they to know went from to time and some to her time off i think she'd be deflected into the next day and first off the five minutes whether it's got a lot of this sort of right in the last until it rises so i gave ben's added the second heading and then for a quick final score to nelson if need and will start the season. as which the time is now available for those dinara safina in all russian balls round at indian wells lazy sixty two sixty victory force. sixteenth seach or africa against other resonant affronts russian chunky that india runs in two thousand and six wraps up a victory in seventy three minutes next up valerie's how can pass through this kind of fellow former world number one and not suffer now it could be find her top form again she didn't stray a samantha suppose that in straight sets it was an easy win for the current number one ally missing out against marianne jose martinez sanchez this was

a pronounced game for the last three previous matches against the spaniard that there was no set up the top seed in eight the first round of the fourth year running at six one six three victory and a half minutes and a couple of those minutes well you just a match point here and that's the rally this was me asking eventually taking it. allen's top seed refound down as we slice through to the next round after beating america's ryan sweeting in straight sets and not showing any signs of the hamstring injury that led to his early exit from his stride amp and he took the first secondly at sixty three. racking up a second six one elsewhere it was a shock result and that that was a school seed run in so doing crash actually german philipp kohlschreiber so doing came in to snatch the trees titles under his girls already this year fell to three seconds in the opener for example it's my break both driver in the running second.

and finally found us where russian kick boxing fans have a new warrior to cheer on but you know how he called the flames the biggest win of his career with victory over twenty one legend albert kraus here in moscow and. watch the action unfold. what does it take to become the best the answer be the best make it as you can make it through major league week in week next week days including live she's meaning he wound up in a waiting sleep issue. you washington can't claim to be anywhere near the summit tonight visit his stepping stone though the man who's already been there and done that will get brass two thousand and two k one world gen ban his opponent the fairy tales in the field of battle most of them. no titles the stakes however just right and no shortage of honors. with a huge supporter but

a fan from his homeland the russian republic of leakage. the credit profile in his stride edging the first round of burrell's is known as hewitt king still able to demonstrate his dangerous ingenue mooted that. this would really matter in the second dutchman living in a number of heavy shots over the high signal held firm mostly seeking a breakthrough with his legs. brows delicate but the rumble continues round three month old punch exchanged followed by another russian still keeping his very busy locates with grouse relying on his indebted books and skills that's how it ended fighting spirit certainly not in question in this one however it was as if the whole plane's unethically three and here is a unanimous decision but really he looks much closer than that the three year old from the shoes that's probably the greatest influence he's ever played against but

alex out of the other question that real albert price i think in the ring is a much tougher puncher than the christ we have been studying watching and preparing for. but there i didn't expect him to have such a heavy hand and we picked out a very good puncher sparring partners but they were still no equal to him. the less one of those for his help but two out in the spring also produced a great the film is a nice world come with some bitchin pandarus louisiana based not against the guinness below. but the russian exploited right to free. and mean life is it looking musical and still politician able as they say i came i saw i conquered almost every fight is like a breakfast for me and i just enjoy the gigs of the manner in which bites are russia's rising star in the head a weight division. based world tide books and jumping around milton abyss lemaire
