these are the images we're seeing from the streets of canada that. corporations rule today. ten thirty am in moscow these are you already have lined pan paddling to restore power to the fukushima nuclear plant prevent further explosions although here is a further radiation leaks are growing it's now a week since the country's worst earthquake and tsunami devastated huge swathes of the north more than six thousand people are known to have died more than ten thousand remain missing. and libya braces for airstrikes from france and the u.k. is the u.n. security council back saying no fly zone to protect civilians even though russia is against foreign intervention he didn't veto the move saying it supports the

humanitarian motives behind the. terms of the disaster in japan or he's been hearing from russia's emergencies minister about the challenges facing the japanese authorities and i said our national teams had a massive rescue and recovery operation. thank you very much for finding time for us today how do you assess today's situation in japan. this situation is extremely difficult it's probably the first case for the last thirty years or even longer but at the very least it's the first case i remember of a large scale natural disaster causing a large scale manmade disaster it involves not only the kind of damage that happens often such as damage to the transportation system communication system ruined bridges failure of some conventional plants or factories but it also involves a most complicated and difficult disaster the nuclear radiation issue it is the first case both in the history of japan and world history of such large scale

destruction and damage to economy industry and power production in this kind of situation it is not only about restoring the life sustainment systems for the population but also about taking care of safety of both the environment and our neighbors or. i woke up one in your opinion is on the priority list of your japanese counterpart now and how is it changing as the earthquake recovery works are progressing. the top priority is as usual ensuring protection of the population from radiation to the largest possible extent the japanese emergencies minister is facing multiple challenges that require immediate solutions and as we mentioned already russia is ready to help solve these issues i'll go through them in order of priority now of top priority are the issues of protection from radiation that involves evacuation of the population and evacuation involves all the other issues such as provision of food and shelter the next priority has to do with a high chance of epidemic outbreaks there is

a huge number of dead and we should remember that in addition to people a lot of foreign animals and pets died too so that's the second issue to tackle and solve and as we're following our japanese colleagues activities we see that this problem hasn't yet been solved but i hope that it will and we are ready to support them should they need our help or consultation. the third issue is drinking water drinking water problems on such a large territories with over five hundred thousand people having lost their homes and not only homes they also lost their sources of food and drinking water so the drinking water problem has to be addressed immediately and restoring water supplies will prevent a second priority issue i already mentioned earlier the epidemic outbreaks the next issue is a very serious one i think that we need to set up a serious expert group which would assess the whole bulk of issues related to the chemical security that's because there were some production facilities of different kinds in the affected area and as we go down the priority list there is the transportation problem due to damaged communications lines bridges and roads

further there is the power supply problem now on the whole it is a very large and complex emergency situation which requires imminent solutions to multiple problems civil taney asli and that's what important these problems are interdependent thus if the radiation protection issue fails to be solved that will mean that all issues in suing from the evacuation of people from there moving across the land will grow bigger and bigger and then one thing will lead to another as in a domino effect. how is russia helping japan what i would providing. the package of what we offer our japanese counterparts can be larger than it stands at present as you know russia is the largest international rescue team currently deployed there that's one hundred sixty five people we dispatched in my twenty six helicopter it's there and it's ready to be used for a delivery including drinking water and for transporting people that's a heavy helicopter capable of carrying up to twenty tons of cargo we are working on a request from our japanese partners for

a batch of warm blankets bed linen and all other essentials for accommodating people in shelters on top of that we offered medical help we have two hospitals which can be rolled out within three hours these hospitals have already operated in turkey afghanistan kosovo they've worked all over the world these are highly qualified specialists with extensive experience we also offered our drinking water filtering units i mean i'm not telling you what kind of help we have offered further we offered services of our experts with experience from response to the chernobyl disaster the receiving party naturally can see him decide when to accept one or another kind of help and resources including help from abroad over one hundred countries have offered their help. their job is to rescue people even in situations beyond man's control and the current situations what resources are most important for rescue. the most important resource now is evacuation i mean setting up the evacuation facilities and shelters to ensure that people would have places

which would be as comfortable as possible for them to live through this hard time for recovery gain speed this requires medical support supplies of water and food providing shelter is may not sound like much as i say it's put it involves a great deal to do it's a lengthy large scale operation because it also involves children and infants and providing them with baby food it involves taking care of sick people such as diabetes patients thus we need to provide insulin. and many other things further it requires medical monitoring of people's conditions and ailments and it requires medical therapy in short it's a huge number of things but today in the current situation this is challenge number one all other tasks will ensue as progress is made as you watching your colleagues from japan what you say you act exactly the same way or maybe differently. with it's hard to teach and tell anything here we're trying to give some advice on things we can see from here in order to tell exactly how we would act under such

circumstances we'd have to be in their shoes things that we know that we have experienced we include in our reports and we deliver them to the japanese side i should say that many experts from japan came to our country to study the chernobyl disaster they studied the after effects on the environment on children and adults on the thyroid gland on vegetation they invested a huge amount of money in these studies into to large amount of work together with russian researchers thus they did their best to use that situation to their advantage and i believe that has got as it may sound now we and our experts must do our best to use the situation to our advantage in order to render help that's our task number one and secondly in order to ensure that mankind including russia would learn well the lessons the situation is teaching us this includes the positioning of these potentially dangerous facilities calculating all existing risks introducing new emergency response mechanisms but for the most important thing is that when such a large scale emergencies happen you begin to understand that wars are pointless

why do people fight against each other we have this war here this is more destructive than wars such natural disasters destroy huge territories with man made objects the results of people's work and their endeavor and the worst thing of course is that people themselves die this is the enemy that we should all fight together. with frailty of our existence. yes frailty of our existence. i agree with you but this is our common enemy forces of nature our common foe and we need to learn how to fight against it together. how can society prepare for such disasters is it even possible for a coastline should protect itself from the tsunami of. the risk management system that our japanese colleagues have for counteracting such natural disasters both earthquakes and tsunami is one of the best in the world they check their emergency alert systems daily every day at

a certain time sound signals go off and if they are not heard somewhere people should report this i was at this place and i didn't hear the alarm the japanese also have regular drills practicing emergency procedures for cases like tsunami and earthquakes so a group that includes experts my colleagues people who deal with emergency situations scientists uclear energy and territorial planning specialists who study seismic effects on continents and islands should work in the framework of the un and come up with serious guidelines for positioning of these facilities this flow knows no borders or customs no matter what kinds of barriers we try to create it crosses all of them so all together we will have to answer the question about what could have been done differently in order to secure nuclear facilities from tsunami threats we have to build them far from the coastline as for earthquakes there are certain issues there too in this case all eleven reactors responded to the seismic activity and began to show hold automatically the problem was with the cooling systems. this is

a group the japanese are giving more information about what is really going on there and how they are handling this kind of risk assessment have a situation at the japanese nuclear power plant. there are two risk categories here the first category has to do with what happens inside the country risks are very high there are specialists and authorities are not trying to cover up those risks and taking steps to evacuate people and also offering new methods of protection if we talk about the situation outside japan in the bordering states we will have to assess any damages to the environment later sea water was used for cooling and we know about the water cycle so it goes back into the environment we will have to see how this will affect the sea its flora and fauna naturally our service works twenty four seven we're taking measurements hourly we have a special aviation group they take samples of the air on the country into cycling cruel islands and to more ski cry we doubled the number of our monitoring stations

where samples are taken and analyzed them regularly in the last two days we simulated the worst case scenario and it showed that there is no serious threat for the russian people. with any scenario. of course we have to monitor the development of the situation a week ago nobody could have predicted the situation we see now who would have thought that six reactors would be in critical condition so we need to monitor and assess all this there is a saying that we learn from our mistakes such a big tragedy is a serious lesson for us all but i would even compare it to a laboratory there is a lot to learn from this you've probably heard the japanese authorities are urging people to stay inside this is something that was learned after chernobyl if you remember evacuation in chernobyl started in the midst of the heaviest radiation leak the right thing would have been to stay inside keeping all windows and doors closed the evacuation should have started when everything was ready so that people didn't have to wait for buses outside standing there for two or three hours it should have been done very quickly so they learned their lessons we are learning

our lessons of course we want our colleagues to handle it successfully i told the ambassador that if there is anything we can help with we are ready to do it. what is a pastoral quoting to you. experts assessment. it's hard to tell even japanese sources are giving different numbers of dead and missing people but our guys are saying that considering the state of destruction and density of population the death toll will be over ten thousand of course i should mention the lessons we learned from chernobyl as an emergency response force we built a large robotic center we have big heavy robots that are able to clean up debris and high levels of radiation or when there is a chemical hazard i highly recommend you visit the center look at what these robots can do it is important for people in our country to understand that we have been moving forward improving emergency response mechanisms. thank you very much for this interview thank you.

yes my name is daniel smith this is julian assange we will make a short presentation of all that we can fix project. the first step in the fourth day is to get information out about the real well clear to him. under such secrecy is the biggest. enemy of democracy. if opposing the sauce of this invention he would hunt me down and kill. this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the question because it has become more about this all james bond. than about the actual information.

thank you. so old people around the wold. like me.

just. japan battles to restore power to the stricken fukushima nuclear plant to prevent further explosions although fears of further radiation leaks are growing it's been a week since the country's worst earthquake and tsunami devastated huge swathes of the north more than six thousand people are known dead more than ten thousand remain missing. and libya bracing for airstrikes from france and the u.k. as the u.n. security council backs a no fly zone to protect civilians even though russia is against foreign intervention it didn't veto the move saying it supports the humanitarian motives behind it. as you farmer joins us now with all the latest in the world of course it's been a bad night for some of the big clubs in european football as one hundred and not

some surprise results in the league last night not to mention out on the ice to make a. rule that just awful. hello there thanks for watching the sport and this is what is coming up. defeat i.x. in style to reach the quarter finals of the europa league but it is scotland's an a . plus h. and softly she will challenge class if a defeat the presidency. and the new team will get their hands in the gallery in cup holders and bars or not i sat up. with her spot at moscow the only russian club to have made it through to the europa league quarter finals anything to discover also in action on thursday night but failed to progress as a neat one the second leg of their last sixteen tie against some twenty two nil but

still when times were not good players on both sides wearing blacktown bands in respect of the rifles and goalkeeper it just. was killed in a car crash just hours before kickoff good health deputized engulfed elsewhere the last one to f.c. porcelain portugal three one on aggregate but scott must go crazy past i.x.'s being a victory first half goal from thinking i'm ballots and i'm one after the break but i like seeing the red and white screens into the quarter finals. are going to if we play in the second half as we did in the first it would have been a perfect game but in the last three minutes one can understand the footballers i think the score is three nil i.x. need to score four which is virtually impossible that's the reason i think we're all level will be relaxed a bit and i want my acts to create three or four opportunities dude you can really want to keep and will score as well as i did. i think the loss of your use of first half and for a minute. i think part of played quite. well and much better than last week.

i think we were. aggressive for not the first of we didn't anticipate. enough. elsewhere villareal and benfica went through with trying to get wins over by ladies and i'm sorry sandman respectively but it was a bad night for british clubs little corps not down by fourteen beside prague after a goal distraught rangers lost that here's the i haven contend manchester city failed to overcome konami winning the second leg one nil but losing two one on aggregate at least percents off last night's match save for straight into his manager roberto mancini while the knowledge russian coaching him and does not mind the facts makes. more preference and told it all depends on draw tonight i just want to give credit to my players to police and to teams manchester city is a great challenge. for these i think that also england

players we simply scored other goals because we played well. the media conceded any chance of combat. i think that. there was a was better another football use arsenal have resigned therefore mickey begins laming till the end of the season to ease a goalkeeping crisis at the club the forty one year old had announced his retirement from the sport just a few months ago but he's agreed to come back to the gun is where he played for five years until two thousand and eight injuries have meant our moon yet was arsenal's only think. he would try and force. for the rest of us because you. won't see god for six weeks we have them on the one year old for six weeks. of course i've learned skill for the rest of the season. so we have no color of any

experience aboard in the premier league that's why i decided to strike up and you know. of course to complete some experience anymore munched united defender rio ferdinand could be out for the rest of this season with a calf injury adding to their problems at the back with fellow center half a man david each also out for saturday's game against bolton a crucial game see for the league leaders with rivals arsenal away struggling west brom boss alex ferguson saying things have gone from bad to worse in just a few days the soldiers for the part the last week or so are that befriend us going into the court we always have been low for a few weeks. or not so. good for you as a short. for us to me you know it's not a training year so symbolism is going to be. what can be done by some part of the

season and fifa prosthetic blatter faces a fight to stay in charge of football's world governing body asian football chief mohammed bin how man has confirmed he will stand against him in the presidency elections this somehow man has been cited as a potential successor after his enormous influence helping par win the right to host the twenty twenty two world cup he believes he can get enough votes to any classes this in year a and is the football world to back its big. one . near here to be part of my. comic. this is very good and. well let's move to the ice where alexander dual orbs go with a live inside the cage shell semifinals after the men from you for defeated defending champions and bars on the road form a national predator was right on cue to redirect part in three at bars net daily in

the second period no more goals followed in this cage again which means sound about going three waka getting the best of seven series for one barrier on guard edge the head and neck quarter final against the second straight day of a time victory for the regular season champions on great blue shield once again grabbing the winner on wednesday clock might see the first side to progress calling in overtime win against an armory get a look around and sell sports see than halfway through the second period but they produced an amazing comeback alexander going all by grabbing a brace to level the tie at school that was his first in the second sent the gang into overtime there alexander ghanian popped up with the winner sending loctite through to the last four of the playoffs after which he said rocco came out with all guns blazing in the series are starting to talk fired them up the railway men the next play atlanta star in the western conference finals. meanwhile n.h.l.

teams will not placate shell sides in exhibition matches for the forseeable future a disagreement over wage demands is the problem according to k. jo president alexander made various spoke exclusively with arctic. looks like the world will not see you are such witches that season before we want to use them that only show you crews are also saying through the really businesslike approach so well for it was also favorable new information for us do you work for us always or with all requests. for compare from birth to school michael i would assume or some. will struggle for spring or just working for the border unswayed for sport or for the local before. you working for the percent sure that there. was a look. not only the possibility to get money because where you think would get this

money from europeans but gets a possibility of black spreads the interest. for their own game some sense of contribution will reschedule. ok well let's get the latest from the tennis at indian wells where top seed rafael nadal has only just made it through to the semifinals after a real tussle against evo karlovic college had taken the first set seven five before no doubt spread through the second to level the match to decide it was tight it was just playing it on their tie break to reach the semifinals also through to the last ball is one martin del potro because rest after twenty three days retired . and the women's that number one can emotionally at least three weeks in the semifinals her opponent victoria as a ranger retiring there with injury early in the first set russian reached rapid replay goals we have seen for a place in the final after getting past china shroud playing in three sets.

you know there used to be pakistan cricket is accused of taking bribes to fix fakes parts of a test match in england last year have appeared at a magistrates court in london former captain and we can keep a sound on but i'm fast both muhammad is safe and one hundred amir are accused by british prosecutors and spot fixing it's claimed they deliberately bowled no balls pretty great times during the fourth test at lord's last august all three reportedly told police the incidents with the incidental or bad luck also in the dark with sports agent regime athlete he along with the rest places charges of conspiracy to obtain and except corrupt payments a conspiracy to cheat the men will appear at the trial of that crown court on may twentieth. but meanwhile england have kept their well cup campaign alive beating the west indies by eighteen runs pakistan were left a target of two hundred forty three by one reply gayle smashed thirty six runs of two waves to beat the west indies the fifty unknown of just five days but credible

track jail because the fifth hole was skip the sammy brought up the hundred then on very aggressive seemed to be out on thirty nine but was eventually given a six instead as truckers judged him stages of the boundary there yet russell was soon i asked who was the biggest threat to the twenty two to six to two hundred twenty five who will add their final path attempting a risk and second run is too much then it's right to spot celebrations in the england camp. so that brings just brings you and me up to date that saw us both in a moment about with no end to us. culture is that so much could be really going to make a lot of people very much but look at japan's economy and the world's most wanted disaster hits a major economic and trading power the forces of globalization punish. the
