four thirty pm in moscow these iraqi headlines strikes from above in libya as a multinational force launches an aerial offensive against gadhafi forces with dozens reported killed the libyan leader promises a long war and says he's opening up weapons depots person billions. barack obama says america's role in the military intervention in libya will be a limited one but as u.s. cruise missiles take a leading role of role in coalition operations many are drawing comparisons to the start up of the iraq war in two thousand and three. and russia has called on allied

forces to refrain from using indiscriminate force in libya it stressed it's unacceptable to use the u.n. security council mandate for purposes other than protecting civilians to pan is still dealing with the consequences of last week's devastating earthquake yet again you are goshen from the institute of earth physics believes there could be many more disasters ahead because we're living in a highly active seismic period the interview coming up. gagne thank you very much for joining us today he would talk about the earthquake in japan whether it was possible to avoid such a death toll and what they had i understand you've made some controversial predictions in terms of future earthquakes what exactly are they what are they based on almost all of us know that playboy spread and there was going to read that hugo i think that there is no direct connection between the earthquake in japan and earthquakes that has happened on our territory but this latest one is one of the

major events in the chain of earthquakes that recently happened on the planet you will remember the earthquake on sumatra in two thousand and four is a major quake magnitude nine point five it was huge a major loss of life and tsunami it's after that then there were a number of other earthquakes in india where people also died in china with a magnitude of eight and finally in chile last year eight point eight and now this earthquake in japan with a magnitude own hurdle before in this country night. as you can see the process is taking place in different places on earth what does our country look like in this respect in the last fifteen years or so we've had about fifteen major earthquakes in our far east so almost every year there was an earthquake on the coral islands on come chat go cycling in core jago group so we had never seen such frequency before therefore we can say that we've witnessed a significant increase in seismic activity on earth in the last fifteen years in the previous years at least in the one nine hundred seventy s.

and one hundred eighty s. there had not been so many major earthquakes it was a camp area the dangerous spot in our country are come chaka many experts have been predicting earthquakes in its southern parts for a long time as the northern caribbean islands maybe to southern grill islands now considering the earthquake in japan because seismic activity can spread there i also think of the north caucasus is a very dangerous zone because there haven't been any major. well it's there for a very long time there was a minor earthquake in two thousand and eight in the region but nothing serious in a really long time so these i think are the most dangerous roads in russia can jack or the coral islands and the north caucasus region you that's what they mean and even you are we witnessing an overall increase in face negativity or is this just the bullets out period when did it start and when could be over the whole life of the global war by those with a sharp. yes. i believe this period like all processes on earth is of cyclical development if we mention the middle of the twentieth century it was also

a period of more activity with a greater quake in chile in one hundred sixty with a magnitude of more the nine then a great quake in the north koreans and southern come chaka when the tsunami wave reached twenty five meters and the whole settlement of karylle was destroyed later in the one nine hundred seventy s. and one hundred eighty s. it was relatively counted but already in the one nine hundred ninety s. the seismic activity grew again we see the twenty to twenty five years of relative kandice is followed by a more active period i believe we are living in a more active period now to last about ten years more but i could not call such assumptions fully based on science. they were you saying that both you and your colleagues abroad predicted the earthquake in japan why weren't enough people evacuated then. the loss of a forecast has many parameters most important is analysis of seismic activity some quotes are constantly recorders and monitors the information is cataloged anomalies

like excessive callous or excessive activity are analyzed further data is used as a defamation of the little sphere thermal and electromagnetic fields when you have many parameters coinciding you can announce the forecast one parameter alone is not enough to predict anything of the earth several negative factors coincide it first the japanese are perhaps best equipped in the world against earthquakes as they are living on a continuous seismic hotbed they predicted an earthquake but nobody expected a magnitude nine which is unique normally magnitude eight is forecast the difference between eight and nine is a logarithmic scale where each digit increment means a ten time increase of energy so nature played a mean joke with me before the eleven march quake a quake on the ninth of march in the same zone was considerably weaker only seven points. which is still big but they decided the forecast had been fulfilled and they relaxed a much stronger quake occurred soon afterwards and it's you know he was indeed

predicted but it's epicenter was rather close to the shoreline only one hundred twenty kilometers away whereas the tsunami wave traveled at four hundred or even six or eight hundred kilometers an hour so it obviously reached the shore in ten minutes most of the victims result of not from the earthquake destroying buildings but from the tsunamis because the latter were both unexpected and very high sides they hit places that were very vulnerable for one with a what about russia's far east more earthquakes there which should begin to reduce the number of casualties in effect in any day we're. hearing a call to where our residents of russia's far eastern areas supposed to be evacuated to moscow nobody has that people will remain living there regardless of earthquakes that this action has long been refuted moreover we don't know the timing exactly we know only some probabilities and we don't know what its magnitude

will be. lost is being reinforced now as part of a special program also our territory on like in japan is not so densely populated or urbanized no matter how odd it may sound earthquakes for us are less dangerous than for europe or japan as they will cause extensive destruction or many victims well we had powerful earthquakes in the central part of the creels in two thousand and six and two thousand and seven with tsunamis as you notice the no indict because nobody lives there and nothing was destroyed we should keep our eyes open as not rush to evacuate the residents who live there our country is not simple in terms of resettling someone somewhere proper homes are necessary warm clothing etc having this easily be done on the shuttle union is happening for because of the coastline change when you don't like you i don't have. but i think the landscape will become slightly lower for instance during the she katon earthquake of nine hundred ninety four in the southern karylle it was

a very powerful quake too with the magnitude of eight point four as a result the island of a ton sank by sixty centimeters never to rise a landscape was changed it looks like the same may have happened in japan but i don't have direct data now portals the globe i mean what else can be affected by the movement of plates in terms of global landscape. chips in the plates in such cases may have been very significant affecting large territories if a ship is about ten meters the area affected on the surface will be thousands of square kilometers is very big territorially it's where the earthquake has happened japan may sink a little while the continental plates rises on a more general point you know now to look at is the reasonable is it to build nuclear power plants in earthquake zones after such disaster. and there there is no option they don't have energy resources as for us we don't build nuclear power stations in seismic zones they do. believe in such projects as glenn not

to help predict earthquakes or more accurately. what should get a robot of such technology is being worked on but so far it's not available our system inherits most of the features from g.p.s. g.p.s. is used with secondary support from satellites and the information about the defamations of the surface is recorded so far though it is hard to use for prediction as. we'll ask me do you work together with your colleagues from abroad to put it such events was it begins with japan or one of will or we had a joint russia japan project when it was rather long ago in the one nine hundred ninety s. we began to monitor japan we managed to detect some cursors then i said of the center tasked with coordinating the work in the country we're not entitle to forecast earthquakes abroad we have a lot of work to mystically. that's even much to thank you for it fine. please.

please. sports is political in ways we don't often even notice especially on the level of culture where our ideas and attitudes as a society are shaped. the ties between professional football and the u.s. military have existed since the start of the n.f.l. back in one thousand money that one nation ship laments slaves during world war two and today that is stronger than ever. the incentives to kill kill kill kill kill innocent people history has taught us that sports is never just something that we just sit back. and sports always have an important social function and the history of american sports is no different.

to keep live. as my name is daniel smith this is julian assange we're here to make a short presentation about the we can fix project. first. in the fourth grade if

you can get information out about the real world. nothing through him walk on. the moon river he was the biggest. here to be the mother. of five according to sources in danger he would hunt me down and kill. this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the project because it has become more about us all james bond. than all the actual information. but thank you. to all the people around the wall. in canada and the us that it is legal for you to give us

a bubble bath and your baby it contains a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the shines out of most cooking because they are sponsored by the industry and most of the guys they don't claim it's a conflict of interest today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month i got nobody with cancer in my five and therefore i protect folks because ninety two ninety five percent of cancers hurt people with self funding history of cancer the pharmaceutical industry spends about fourteen percent of their budget on research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing and administration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. and members of congress. to see him great for the field we've got lead from. the b.

runs that if we have only started competing together and we haven't had much practice together once we get used to competing as a pair i'm sure the results will come china have a chance of completing a clean sweep in the men's ten need to plan form and from the opening rounds it was clear that this would be the case board's regards from a crime and nine point five zero ten's from the judges as he was in just a different class the rest of the field however there was a small bit of consolation on what was a poor final date of the russians was becoming in by a hinge in perth to claim the country's only podium finish abusing richard dougherty in moscow. pri let's move stateside were n.b.a. regular season leaders summoned tony or continuing to do everything right dispersing of charlotte in the pick off saturday nights option but to really book their berth in the playoffs and allowed all star for ten dunk in some rest the head of the postseason but he was really missed those aside hundred the house their
