mine. would be soon which brightened if you knew about the sun moon from funds to the pressure. he starts on t.v. don't come. at six thirty pm moscow time these are the top stories on our t.v. i mean that in his native says developments in libya are will solve the safety behavior of the country's leadership in the crimes against his people but russia's president also called for extreme accuracy when judging what's happening in

countries like libya and. foreign forces target the libyan leader stronghold as they continue the barrage of strikes which of what were to be killed over sixty people western officials claim they have to strike a command center and used by the libyan army in the capital tripoli. in other news this hour emergency teams have been a way to get them to parents who seem a nuclear site as smoke is seen rising from a paralyzed reactor and mirrors have managed to restore electricity to three reactors and it's hold back on able them to restart the fails cooling systems but we stay with japan next as archie hears from a nuclear engineer who worked at the scene of the chernobyl 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.

civil rights with thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us after the chernobyl 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 in chernobyl inaudible. 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 from the un report more than six hundred fifty thousand rescuers took part in dealing with the consequences of the chernobyl nuclear power plant accident but gives you an idea about the scale of that effort in which practically all saudi 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 jacques collection of friends came to visit us when he learns

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 misty any no one in the world be of the americans the british the french the germans or the japanese could have done separately or together what do you the soviet people manage to do in such a short period of time let's not compare the two eras or their political circumstances and sweden on august twenty sixth people came to work they also have a nuclear power plant over there and as they enter 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 the soviet union was forced to admit that an accident had happened they 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 estimated the 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 hundred going an hour that was unattainable i regret to say but 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 intuition and an immense amount of courage. that situation began to change and that enabled helicopters to fly at low altitudes for better observe ation we developed

specialized rather 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 that's. what happened to those who worked at the chernobyl power plant after the explosion 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 that's an awful tragedy affected my whole family being a professional i understood that there was no want to do that job except for the professionals at a clear second my wife dealt with nuclear energy she also has its addiction overall nuclear power plant and 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 more. the only thing i can say is that no actives 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 and 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 but 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 one thousand times the yield of a bomb that was dropped on hiroshima first i don't think the discharges are going to be as massive as at chernobyl second the atomic energy industry will suffer certain losses because of the reactors hit by explosions and 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 are taking place at the first generation nuclear power stations that were built in one hundred seventy one they're forty years old by the way the two novel 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 significant changes and modernization

since to normal 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 the true novel are still in operation and are not safe enough but 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 and 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 channel was this gap in intergenerational continuity today's generation in charge of the world's atomic energy didn't take over the traditions or the experience of those who actually created atomic energy

at that time. other words that i thought were even you'd think africa's going to japanese do the same. over there you know measured in order to preserve human lives there has to be an agency to supervise such dangerous industries it should sector regulations and requirements developed on experience and knowledge and traditions for these industries certainly this agency should be created within the un 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 possesses 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 you have a lot of other should not be related issues to attend to including villages towns and industries washed away by the waves 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. and you know what. the. regional 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 beijing exposure on people report of a moral. issue of some people have far more physical resilience than others it's highly individual let me give you an example there was a post-war 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 so my goal before it all happened was that in life he got a point 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 fever. the figure that you need not fear is twenty million guns an hour is absolutely safe being the natural background mountain climbers getting more exposure for example people flying on board aircraft there between twenty and a hundred times more exposure than that your airborne for just three or four hours and that's all the lack of information breeds panic this 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 border war if you're going. were her firstly don't come into the open if you can avoid it shut all the windows and doors and switch off your a condition if you have any secondly put on your individual protective gear the

respirators the 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. possible words for thank you very much for your time. culture is that so much a given to each musician a person trying to hide from them or when to devide given to the shia and sunni to saudi integration and suppression of the shia majority of moderate again no lights house or. church to create a removal called

need three sets to do the business again with a blistering start taking the first set by six games to one but fifteenth seed virtually was not to be denied so soon the french were in fighting boxing the second six but that was to be her highlight wozniacki living up to her number one billing by winning the decider six three and taking a second title of the season in. that brings us to be n.b.a. where the dallas mavericks have their place in the playoffs for the eleventh successive season following at twenty eight point three of golden state dirk nowitzki top scoring for the hosts with twenty points including a well taken jumper to make it fifty one thirty five dallas in this second quarter the mavs also easily shining their opponents in the final period p.s. the lack of each instrumental with seventeen throughout his shot from beyond the arc making the eighty five six the eights but one of your own seventy three was how

important growing ahead of the twenty twelve london olympic games us counseling the top off now reports. the traditional moscow see where is the last tournament before the start of qualifying for the twenty twelve olympic games the brush is rising and that's why the world's best fans are gathered in the russian capital to engage their sabers and go for glory the final round presented lots of like itching towns or is in the manstein event throughout the entire day squads from across the globe food for a podium place in the battle for third sport delarue space powerhouse entirely the bow it's what tight the belorussian stake in their league before squad i do i made it all square but their opponents had enough patients and no shortage of skill to end the fight in their favor. thankfully we succeeded the italians are tough opponents and we usually share victories this time we won and i'm very pleased with that little victory will give us hearts meanwhile in the final the hosts meant

germany russia had never won it in competition or home ground and this time around they were determined to put it right the russians dominating from the off showing an extended repertoire of moves and high speed of saber a fancy and in truth they look like champions well before the end russia taking a well deserved victory forty five thirty. one the germans were more tired and we sure that we possess great injured however the team performed even better than i imagined i thought the margin wouldn't be that great of course germany have progressed very quickly down the years and every game hard to compete with him at home ground definitely helped this this time. next year the moscow saber will be lost 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 this hour i'll see you soon world weather is coming up in just a taker. hungry
