still just a ski lift in a sea of colors you visit. hello this is the artsy news channel one story making the main news tonight live near browns of the arab league criticized international strikes in libya after an aerial offensive against gadhafi forces with dozens reported killed the libyan leaders promising a long war and says he's opening up weapons desperate for civilians. and. barack obama says america's role in the military intervention there will be limited one but is the u.s. cruise missiles take a leading role in coalition operations many are drawing comparisons to the beginnings of two thousand and three iraq war. meantime russia's call on allied

forces refrain from using indiscriminate force in libya it stressed it's unacceptable to use the u.n. security council mandate for purposes other than protect its exhibit. japan is still dealing with the consequences of last week's devastating earthquake it records you know who's an expert on earthquakes believes there may be more disasters ahead too as the earth goes through a highly active seismic period that interview coming up next. nobody gave us a better. gagne thank you very much for joining us today we talk about the earthquake in japan whether it was possible to avoid such a death toll and what the had i understand you've made some controversial predictions in terms of future quakes what exactly are they what are they based on almost no international with the playboy story as a merely a postgraduate but here again i think that there is no direct connection between

the earthquake in japan and earthquakes that happen 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 was a major quake magnitude nine point five it was huge a major loss of life and tsunami etc 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 earth quake in japan with a magnitude only heard of 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 choco sakhalin 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 nine hundred eighty s. there had not been so many major earthquakes it was a camp here it would be dangerous not in our country are come chaka many experts have been predicting earthquakes in its southern parts for a long time and the northern karylle islands maybe the southern grille islands now considering the earthquake in japan seismic activity can spread there i also think that the north caucasus is a very dangerous zone because there haven't been any major. quakes there for a very long time and there was a minor earthquake in two thousand in a city in a quarter last great and but nothing serious in a really long time so these are think of the most dangerous roads in russia can shock you the coral islands and the north caucasus so that's what they mean giving you are we missing an overall increase in size make it fifty or is this just a volatile period when did start and when can be over that other oh well what about at the 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 thousand nine hundred eighty with a magnitude of more than 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 korea was destroyed later in the one nine hundred seventy s. and one hundred eighty s. it was relatively common but already in the one nine hundred ninety s. the seismic activity grew again we see the twenty to twenty five years of relative camis is followed by a more active period i believe we are living in a more active period now the last about ten years more. i could not call such assumptions fully based on science but they were saying that both you and your colleagues abroad predicted the earthquake in japan why weren't enough people evacuated then. i should. add a forecast has many parameters most important is analysis of seismic activity some

quakes are constantly recorders and monitors the information is cataloged anomalies like excessive callous or excessive activity are analyzed further data is used about the definition of the letters here thermal and electromagnetic fields when you have many parameters coinciding you can announce the forecast one parameter alone is not enough to predict anything for several negative factors coincided 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 and normally magnitude eight is forecast the difference between eight and nine is a lot rhythmic scale each digit increment means a ten time increase of energy so nature played a mean joke with them before the eleven march quake a quake on the ninth of march in the same zone was considerably weaker only seven point seven which is still big if they decided the forecast had been fulfilled and

they relaxed a much stronger quake occurred soon afterwards that tsunami was indeed predicted but its 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 resulted not from the earthquake destroying buildings but from the tsunamis because the latter were both unexpected and very high besides they hit places that were very vulnerable for one with a what about russia's far east more earthquakes there which should be done to reduce the number of casualties in affected any way we are. here to where our residents of russia's far eastern areas supposed to be evacuated to moscow nobody has left 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 it's nagma chewed will be. lost is being reinforced now as part of a special program also our territory unlike 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 because they will cause extensive destruction or many victims while we had powerful earthquakes in the central part of the koreans in two thousand and six and two thousand and seven. with tsunamis you notice the no in the right because nobody lives there and nothing was destroyed we should keep our eyes open it was not rushed 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 how can this easily be done on a ship of union of one that is mean to become of the coastline change. well i don't have relevant data but i think the landscape will become slightly lower for

instance during the she could tolerate quake of nine hundred ninety four in the southern karylle it was a very powerful quake too with a magnitude of eight point four as a result the island of sugar tons sank by sixty centimeters never to rise the landscape was changed it looks like the same may have happened in japan but i don't have direct data now we're fully portables the globe i mean what else can be affected by the movement of plates in terms of google landscape. shifts in the plates in such cases may have been very significant affecting large territories if the ship is about ten meters the area affected on the surface will be thousands of square kilometers shift is very big territorially it's where the earthquake has happened japan may sink a little while the continental plates rises you know what that is not how reasonable is it to build nuclear power plants in earthquake zones after such disaster was nuclear and there there is no option they don't have energy resources

for us we don't build nuclear power stations in seismic zones they do. believe in such projects as learn not to help predict earthquakes more accurately. well you know the robot with such technology is being worked on but so far it's not available are going to a 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 a surface is recorded so far though it is hard to use for prediction as. they are. the work together with your colleagues from abroad to predict such events wasn't the case with japan well wolf we had a joint russia japan project and it was rather long ago in the one nine hundred ninety s. we began to monitor japan we managed to detect some precursors 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 domestically. i think a much

a thank you for it fine. please. live. 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 nineteen twenty that relationship really meant slaves during world war two and today that bond is stronger than ever. to be unscientific. he'll feel there is some kind of feeling in the going to be 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.

it's going to. keep live. as my name is daniel smith this is joining us on the radio to make

a short presentation about the wiki leaks project. that. in the fourth grade he's here to get information out about the real world. through him war. among the numerically who's the biggest. here to be able to monitor. if i have a political news sources in danger he would hunt me down and kill him. this is exactly one of the reasons why we left that pressure because it has become a war of all because all the claims on. the actual information. well thank you. to all people around the mole.

in canada and the us that it is legal for you to give a bubble bath on your baby that contains a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the shanties i might put independent playoffs closer than i can just get it and most of the guys gravestone the place to call for coffee interest today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month oh my god i'm a nobody with cancer from my father and therefore i protect salt because ninety to ninety five percent of cancers hurt people with self funded 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. than members of congress.

today. again fled the flood these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets and chant of that. please.

from a news story making headlines tonight libya around the arab league criticized international strikes there after an aerial offensive against gadhafi forces has left dozens dead the libyan leader is promising a quote long war and says singh's opening up weapons death was for civilians. barack obama says america's role in the military intervention in libya will be a limited one but his u.s. cruise missiles take a leading role in coalition operations by drawing comparisons to the beginnings of the two thousand and three and radical. threats part russians called on the allied forces to refrain from using indiscriminate force it stressed it's unacceptable to use the un security council mandate for purposes other than protecting civilians.

point once and for fifteen minutes with me kevin owen you didn't see him know that it's time for a bit of sport fifteen minutes and five and unit just two weeks in we've already got a clear leader in the russian premier league and we anted rubin is on doing just about everything right six points from possible six kevin we have all the updates on the russian probably league and all the sport of course today coming up just a sec. if you're with us this is sports today i mean take a look at some of the stories we're covering this hour. one to go. or take the last remaining semifinal spot in the cage shell with their deciding game seven she moved from. making a splash china live up to their billing up the world series event in moscow all

four goals up for grabs for the weekend. past glories thirty one years ago british olympians dealy trumps another all in wells gold two games but the current race. let's get going with. three premier league games have not finished up title contenders rubin storming to the top of the table courtesy of a two no win over to record grozny that his own side trip to strike from. christian no boy either side of the half time break routine are seeking a third championship in four years. their first victory of the season at home to luck. on their first points of the season facing the rock bottom at the same school. the most between the sides in the game and thompson both sides low

on day one are eager not to make any easy goals today though the home side is to come close in the first time off the eventual game turning moment coming seven minutes from time to beat off. some stuff. this. one will keep on. liverpool points back from the europa league departure during the week that victory over sunderland in the english premier league. penalty on a superb betaken lists for his goal making the difference at the stadium of light was the final score getting some. five off their past half a dozen league matches now we're just minutes away from the final whistle in the day's other clash the bottle of the big spenders between chelsea and manchester city currently going chelsea's way courtesy of david lewis his head seventy eight minutes in. princess to the continental hockey league where we discovered the third

semifinalist for twenty l.f. and will be blunt fighting back from behind against in their do or die game seven overtime was needed in this one though with the tree because of proving himself to the school region scoring with almost ten minutes gone in the extra period would have looked as if scour on their way in regulation time twice taking the lead before i had lots equalized matters. in the western conference finals. stay with a case where mesler again sure the quarter final clash would often garble go down to the wire following victory in game six on saturday edging out the club in regulation denise first off in the lead seven minutes into the second period for the mere jaegers shot just three minutes after that level matters but hilary slowest of just off the view of the game netting the winner moments before the big

bowser for a final score of one it is now a three three in the series which moves to siberia. ok let's jump on into the pool where china's dominance of world diving continues the power of horse collecting all four golds and offer off the latest world series event in moscow richard compensate for this. china was expected to dominate on day two and the signs were ominous for the rest of the field early on i t z easily took gold in the women's springboard and she blew away the rest of the field russia's only home a good bargain a saw her hopes fade after this jump which opportunism freezes third from the judges and she would finish in mass. the russians had higher hopes in a men's synchronized three meters springboard the two time olympic champion to be consulted in team got a unique will come of however after a promising start date fell away in the last rounds of the chinese bureau a car queen a neutral new claim get another first place finish from

a chinese as germany and ukraine completed the podium lineup and a german viewer said the chinese are just some stoppable of the moment. diving so constantly and you can do any mistake. if you do there are ways to not have the women's ten need to synchronise part foam was the ultimate event of the night russia had reason to believe that they could finally challenge the chinese and form a beautiful but norma and daria gulf war one goal of the recent european championships in italy however they were let down by a couple of poor dives and runs free in for the chargers' china's dominance even have the russian pair been perfect it's unlikely they would have been able to catch the chinese joe would you sensational a spate of kind of countries put straight gold i mean you've done studies they 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 has

a chance of completing a clean sweep in the men's ten meter park home and from the opening runs it was clear that this would be the case we bowed rudolph's from a crime and nine point five sometimes when the judges as he was in just a different cross the breast of the field however was a small bit of consolation on what was a final date of russians i was becoming in by a binge and purge to claim a country's only podium finish should be named richard i hope we don't see. now the klitschko brothers still hold three of world boxing as four main heavyweight titles after elder sibling vitale retained his w.b.c. crown and saturday night albeit in somewhat controversial circumstances thirty nine year old control is taking on former cuban a limbic champ in toddler years solace in cologne but the nineteen thousand strong crowd got to see bernie three minutes of action the challenger going down with seconds to go in the first it looked as if that score had barely touched the list but we pay showed his rights need luckily i torn cruciate ligament damage cartilage

injuries reported afterward so victory for klitschko about one in which he was far from satisfied with those losers will be girls. season as was part of so is this going to. stand out. as easily. and why it was. raised. by this regime here. in. the final world cup of events of the season has wrapped up poland's coming stock them on hurtling longest in plenty slovenia but the overall ski flying title finds itself in the hands of gregor our stocks effort of two hundred fifteen point five metres securing him a two point three metre advantage over roberts run yes with the entire field force

to take one jump instead of the usual two because of strong winds another pool at another lies was third with a jump of two hundred six metres further distance than stock but more style on a better landing hundred has been patreus first place plenty of reason celebrate for austrian funs meanwhile sharon's hour was fourth meaning he clinched the ski flying title with thomas morgan stern who dominated the world cup season really collecting his overall title which he had won the weeks before. now finally twenty twelve sees london host the twenty seventh olympic games plenty of eyes then looking to the future but for two former gold medalists thirty one years in the past was in focus this week in moscow robert for tony and it's like. nine hundred eighty the olympic mascot says goodbye mosquito in flies away the games are all work although the big three's clean but their efforts are about three

years later and julie's winners return to the police where they earned fame luzhniki steadying great britain's own wills and daley thompson who respectfully claimed gold in the one hundred meters ended a couple back in one thousand nine hundred eighty just three inches separated wells from the favorite kiba sylvia laird healy full of a dish funny enough it was standing here clicking it looking at the scoreboard wondering who had won because it came up in russian initially sure it was only when it came up in english well if i let it be when it came on the russian it spelled my name very similar and that was when i realized that one is so it was only it was only about point thompson and through the one thousand nine hundred eighty games as the world record holder and undisputed favorite he entered in the olympic gold four years layer in los angeles and again arguably one of the greatest athletes in

history science for the people but. very focused i do not look. just. just do my work and remember i don't remember too much. about the competition just. just trying to do it as as well as i possibly can in quite hundred days london will host the next summer olympics with both wealth and benson looking forward to see the new generation of british limpers make history just like they did is possible i think i think the it will be a while inspiration from happening in the olympics and you don't buy a garden so to speak and i think that can inspire a lot of the these two to better things to be a thing. i think the russia will do very well but great britain would do better i will be that. way but it's going to r.t.

my skill. that is almost a put just before i go it can all teach you all not english premier league game the final score was in the chelsea two months just a city no lot means chelsea up the third but still nine points adrift of leaders manchester united. whether it's next. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from the realms. we've done the future coverage.
