guns are the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to congress report. for the we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. at four thirty pm in moscow these are the top stories on our team russia's prime minister has condemned the u.n. security council resolution on libya as flawed and incomplete saying it resembles a need evil call for a cruciate ligament foods and also expressed in front of the dangerous tendency of u.s. foreign policy for the storm to restore and for resort i should say to force. foreign forces target the libyan leader stronghold as they continue the barrage of strikes

which have reportedly killed over sixty people president officials claim they have to strike a command center used by the libyan army in account little tripoli. and in other news emergency teams have been evacuated from japan's fukushima nuclear site as smoke is seen rising from a paralyzed reactor engineers have managed to restore electricity to three reactors and it's hard back of enabled them to restart the failed pooling systems. well next we're staying with their panels are to hear from a nuclear engineer who worked at the scene of the trauma noble disaster he gives us his thoughts on whether it's right to draw comparisons between the two and what japan's best course of action might be now. thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us after that your novel catastrophic you were in charge of containing nuclear emissions from the exploded

reactor to understand what situation the japanese workers are finding themselves in right now he needs going to us what was it like to work and to nobble not to reveal that award. when there was a great deal of work to be done but we only had seconds or minutes to do the job if we wanted to avoid a long term impact on human health can you imagine what the conditions were like according to statistics in the un report more than six hundred fifty thousand rescuers took part in dealing with the consequences of the chernobyl nuclear power plant accident back if you an idea about the scale of that effort in which practically all soviet ministries and agencies were involved. five years had passed since that accident we were commemorating that anniversary and were drawing conclusions the i.a.e.a. senior expert john jacqueline of france came to visit us when he learned about what we had done and when he learned that i had been one of those who supervised the construction of a containment over the damaged nuclear reactor he said and see if any no one in the

world be of the americans the british the french the germans or the japanese could have done separately all together or you the soviet people managed to do in such a short period of time. let's not compare the two eras or their political circumstances in sweden on august the twenty sixth people came to work they also have a nuclear power plant over there and as they entered the premises radiation counters showed they were polluted an alarm was sounded and an investigation began the plant itself the only possible source of trouble was ok even so they looked at the windows diagram and it pointed to kiev the swedes raised worldwide fervor and so soviet union was forced to admit that an accident had happened it would have recognized the fact anyway but only later were building them in india in iran and in china turkey is preparing to place an order to the collapse of the u.s.s.r. did affect the industry to nobble caused a major outflow we had to meet

a situation and saw that the reactor core fragments were scattered over a wide area add to that atmospheric movement so we realized that there was every reason to cover what could be the source of further radioactive discharges a shelter had to be built it was another matter what kind of shelter but covering it was a must. it was decided that after a sarcophagus was built people would be able to come close to it and that radiation measurements on its surface shouldn't exceed one road going to now or that was unattainable i regret to say that the walls did show something near it where we failed was the roof. the work was on the verge of engineering risks you had to have intrusion and an immense amount of courage. the situation began to change and that enabled helicopters to fly at low altitudes for better observation we developed a specialized buffer scaife tanks inside which people were lowered every day we gained new knowledge every day we introduced certain modifications and as

a result it became possible to do it within a brief period. of growth of. what happened to those the work of the chernobyl power plant after the explosion do you know the stories of those people how many survived. today i don't have the statistics about how many of us are already dead i think it's quite a lot disability accounts for sixty or seventy thousand of the six hundred fifty thousand rescuers in fact it's a novel tragedy affected my whole family being a professional i understood that there was no want to do that job except for the professionals it's clear second my wife dealt with nuclear energy she also visits a veteran all nuclear power plant regrettably today she has cancer after several serious operations she's now though it's hard for me to say a person with very limited physical ability but she's not the only one there are many people like her. it's

a very serious matter i think we can draw comparisons between the chernobyl accident and the current events in japan and we should understand that there's a great difference between the two disasters and luckily according to the information which i have although it's rare that even for an expert it's hard to assess what's happening there. in the worst case scenario how bad the situation could be in japan. more of a for the only thing i can say is that no active zones or active fuel discharges into the atmosphere have taken place thank god that's why the scale of the disaster in japan is different yes it's true that the radiological situation around the station is periodic li getting worse and radiation levels are increasing dependent on events there i mean minor explosions that discharge radioactive gases are the most important thing is that there are no discharges of nuclear fuel which contain the entire periodic table of chemical elements that is why the events that are unfolding in japan will be less global than the chernobyl nuclear power plant

accident exceeded ninety times they deal with a bomb that was dropped on hiroshima first i don't think the discharges are going to be as massive as action awful second the atomic energy industry will suffer certain losses because of the reactors hit by explosions they're going to be lost five six or even seven nuclear reactors out of fifty five operating in japan form a significant share but there are unlikely to cause fundamental change but the most important thing that we have to bear in mind is that the current negative events in japan a taking place at the first generation nuclear power stations they were built in one hundred seventy one they're forty years old by the way the chernobyl nuclear power plant was also built in the one nine hundred seventy s. . as for the current state of atomic energy i'd like to mention russia first the russian atomic energy industry has undergone a significant changes and modernization since two novel additional changes have been introduced to projects and specifically to the metal as we call it the safety

standards of today's nuclear power stations are worlds apart from the safety levels of stations built in the one nine hundred seventy s. or eighty's everybody predicts fears and so panic that the powerful reactors of the type used to travel are still in operation and are not safe enough for the safety standards of these reactors has also been upgraded therefore they pose absolutely no threat today. after the chernobyl accident the world sort of stepped back from atomic energy people felt negative about it they were reluctant to work on it moreover young people didn't want to learn it and develop it further i guess the hardest consequence of chernobyl was this gap in enter generational continuity today's generation in charge of the world's atomic energy didn't take over those traditions all the experience of those who actually created atomic energy at that time. that i thought even you discovered the japanese do the same.

in order to preserve human lives there has to be an agency to supervise such dangerous industries it should separate relations and requirements developed on experience and knowledge and traditions for these industries certainly does agency should be created within the u.n. today they say that the i.a.e.a. determines the policy but unfortunately the i.a.e.a. has no such rights even though it certainly has a large intellectual potential in this area but it's just a recommending agency it can't prohibit someone from doing something today. today the prime minister of japan is taking over the direction of operations of those stations this is the wrong decision he has a lot of other should not be related issues to attend to including villages towns and industries washed away by the waves of thousands of victims and so on this is his main headache spite that he's torn between the two but he's no specialist in this area what i mean is that we must have a highly organized and most importantly international agency which is given the

authorization to act. i knew that it was. a. very shy level was so high that people couldn't spend more than a minute near the chernobyl reactor and had to wait for hours afterwards to continue their work one of the first symptoms of faded asian exposure on people report of a moral. issue of road some people have far more physical resilience than others it's highly individual let me give you an example there was a postwar accident at a nuclear facility in yugoslavia three scientists were exposed to radiation two of them died but one survived an investigation established that he had drunk some alcohol before it all happened just as unlikely given port that radiation level is twenty or thirty to normal amount in japan right now people are scared even in russia's far east what is the critical figure to show to be worried if there were more and. the figure that you need not fear is twenty million guns an hour it's

absolutely safe being the natural background mountain climbers gain more exposure for example people flying on board aircraft get between twenty and one hundred times more exposure than that your airborne for just three or four hours and that's all the lack of information breeds panic is mustn't be allowed everyone should have truthful and accurate information we mustn't be afraid of information if in japan there are no discharges outside of the buildings if you will or fragments of the reactor core are not blown into the atmosphere they'll be nothing to fear everything will be normal and quiet. how does one act of war if you're going to. firstly don't come into the open if you can avoid it shut all the windows and doors and switch off your air conditioning if you have any secondly put on your individual protective gear the respirators specialized protective clothing that should be changed from time to time get a hold of a dosage meter and have it with you wherever you go to monitor the situation.

that's the word for thank you very much for your time. first clear in the old cold a clear cut. second explains are used to plans to go deeper than the jurors. heard the remains are reviewed by machinery. finally the mortgage is because the judge in vallecito. on the team. will. bring you the latest in science and technology from the realm or should. we go into

the future of coverage. in canada and the us that it is legal for you to give a bubble bath on your baby they contain a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the shine through the mouth put into print sales calls on my skin and most of the time great donuts creates a coffee coffee just today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month got up a nobody with cancer in my time and therefore i prefer to focus because ninety two ninety five percent of cancers perth people with health family history of cancer the pharmaceutical industry spends about fourteen percent of their budget on research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing in a ministration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. and members of congress. to.

her. party's top stories vladimir putin has condemned the u.n. security council resolution on libya as faulty and incomplete saying it resembles a medieval call from say prime minister also expressed concern at the dangerous tendency of u.s. foreign policy to her for three months. and foreign forces target the libyan leader stronghold as they continue the process strikes which have reportedly killed over sixty people but turn officials claim they have a stronger command center used by the libyan army in the capital tripoli. and in other news emergency teams have been evacuated from japan's fukushima nuclear site

as smoke is seen rising from the power lines reactor engineers have my mistress' store electricity to three reactors and it's hold back put enable them to restart the failed puling systems. up next we have all the sports highlights with union he . and union looks like behind weather has had the russian premier league tell us more you that's exactly right it doesn't happen too often here but snow called off a game or not coming up in just a sec. great to have your company for this is sports today i'm getting on the line these are some of the stories we're covering this hour. h.l. contests are not long beats scarse in petersburg in the decisive again seven to set up the semifinal clash with. jaroslav. moving on all novak djokovic the

the fish and game seven stopped taking the lead seven minutes in through not seeing the ribbon but a little later in the first the teams were level ilya to hold off netting from the line rib and then did it all himself in the second period to one off anscar were looking good but come back things outlands lived up to their mental once again alexander nestor off taking full advantage of the tenders mistakes looking to two months in the game into overtime where after nine minutes of plants were awarded a powerplay which states. full advantage of me because a few of the night i could go and cup semifinal weights against. football on to the russian premier league where three games were to round up the second weekend of action but whether shortened not to to criticise. with. water logged pitch constant snow falling over the weekend in sonora and any hopes

of play a little later than its. league summit when they were apart the carlists on his own g.t. minutes while spacek must will be aiming to find out from a shock opening round defeat. last weekend would be a new voice will get from me. courtside now where it seems a new fight djokovic just forgotten how to lose the serb seen off world number one rafael nadal in the indian wells final on sunday it was me york his finest though who started the better taking you set high six games to four but full control after the serve propping up the second set six three before long it's all just two games decided to get the win this e.p. in a row in twenty eleven which is overall record now improving to twenty consecutive victories including mistry in open up the start of the year he's also replaced roger federer piece in the semifinals here as well number two a.t.p. world. yeah i mean it's been

a dream start i don't know how to describe it really keeps on getting better. i'm definitely feeling great on the court today you know i'm the best player in the world and you know it was very close match and that's what i expected him for the first time and a half he was the better player was just you know fortunate to to make a break in a hole the second a second set then from there moment from then on the moment on i felt like i'm playing better. new surprises in the women's turn. where the top rank and wozniacki was too good for marion bartoli although she did need three sets to do the business the day with a blistering all start taking the first set back six games to one but fifteen see bartoli was not to be denied so soon the frenchwoman running back to take the second six that was to be her highlights was the arche living up to a number one billing by winning the decider six three on claiming second title of the season in the process. brings us to be n.b.a.

seventh with his need to carry on a day when accents were par for the course. everything with honor so far is just plain amazing everything we've done with the vika over the pre-season we've made late and bouncing getting more and more comfortable working this way can you know if we're just being any stronger and stronger as a way can win on and and for the ratio nothing really changed the bike was still fantastic and i had a great feeling with it. finally the thirty sixth annual moscow saber tournament take place in the russian capital this weekend the competition is important growing ahead of the twenty twelve olympic games in london the top of my reports. the traditional moscow c were is the last tournament before the start of qualifying for the twenty twelve olympic games the brushy is rising and that's why the world's best fans are is gathered in the russian capital to engage this sabers angle for glory the final round presented lots of like itching counters in the manstein of

and throughout the entire day squads from across the globe food for a podium place in the battle for third sport place powerhouse italy the boats were tight the bill russian speaking in early before squad in absolute zero made it all square with the opponents had enough patients and no shortage of skill to end of weight in the free world. thankfully we succeeded the italians are tough opponents and we usually share victories this time we won and i'm very pleased with that and it's victory will give us hearts meanwhile in. final the hosts meant germany russia had never wanted to condition our home ground and this time around they were determined to put that right the russians dominating from the off showing an extended repertoire of moves and high speed of saber fancy and in truth they look like champions well before the end were russia taking a well deserved victory forty five thirty. the germans were more tired and we sure

that we possess great insurance however the team performed even better than i imagined i thought the margin wouldn't be that great germany have progressed very quickly down the years and it became hard to compete with the home ground definitely help this this time. next year the moscow saber will be the last condition before the games in london and that will make the tournament crucial in terms of qualifying for world sport's biggest tournament because they are part of our team and that wraps up the sport for this hour i'll see you soon world weather though is coming up in just a tick. hungry for the full story we've got it fast the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
