news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. before asians room today. you're watching r t live from moscow at two thirty pm these are our top stories when it reports of numerous civilian casualties you are in the forces pusong with their mission to impose a no fly zone over libya multitasking forces on the ground of sensory mountain attacks on global strongholds. and if you were asked has rushed to join the military effort in libya despite already having to pay billions for ongoing conflict elsewhere sparking debate over who benefits from such spending.

close to pam resumes efforts to stabilize the down its reactors at the fukushima nuclear power plant after work was suspended and probably unexplained smoking that's. also belgium is frozen river out of government as a dispute between two major ethnic communities continues fueling experts directions that the earth could spread across the rest of europe. now as japan struggles to regain control over the fukushima nuclear plant hit by the recent earthquake experts from around the world are debating the future of atomic energy r.t. talked to one of russia's leading scientists in the industry about the challenges it's now facing. the past nuclear disaster continue sending shock waves throughout the globe is that

the patient that we are now joined by one of fascist leading nuclear experts get us off strong thank you very much for your time sir now many experts have already it compared the focus. to the chernobyl past how proper of this comparison it is in new york. in my opinion the entire atomic energy community and leaves there will not be a global catastrophe global background radiation will certainly increase today's rise is related to a yield of relatively short lived isotopes like isotopes of noble gases which will decay relatively quickly now the key issue is whether they manage to contain fission material in the milk and fuel within the core. mass which is now being formed in the three reactors even the japanese themselves admit that melting is taking place this mass can also appear in other reactors as well as the situation is still unclear even around those units that were shut down obviously they haven't

fully taken the situation under control get but hopefully once the electric cable the japan is heavily counting on is installed it will enable them to somehow localize a process in the actives and call them pawns if they manage to localize a mission and keep everything inside the case and then this local accident will be limited to a certain area and it won't spread far as a result of the tories disaster of twenty five years ago a huge amount of emission took place back then cesium squats appeared which meant that fission fragments were yielded from damage fuel nothing that sort is happening in the current situation hopefully the japanese experts managed to block the emission of a large amount of activity from damage fueled this way the accident will stay limited within certain regions of japan. rather than the whole country. how bailable is that information on the focusing that accident to the international community to the nuclear accidents are you with satisfied access that the japanese

government was rattled you know on this accident. certainly not a country report every day by day changing every detail of japan's atomic industrial four has been providing a rather detailed table of each blocks condition it's hard to judge its truthfulness not because they're lying but rather because they may not know it all background radiation at the site limits the work personnel can undertake it's still unclear whether control devices operating properly and monitoring the temperature and radiation environment correctly in all sports but they do provide details daryn each block i don't each system of those blocks such as the active. containment confinement and so on and they detail buildings of which blocks have been significantly damaged but all these things are rather predictable such events are always tragic as it means the deaths of people it slows down the development of atomic energy which is also tragic as i strongly believe that mankind really must

develop with each failure such as this on the one hand delays its growth but on the other teaches us invaluable lessons for the future therefore i believe that no matter what they inform us of all the start it will be thoroughly analyzed in the future it is customary for the atomic energy community to profoundly analyze the events together as we should be helping each other. and all its lessons and are open to the international community even though the reactors of that kind are operating in russia only nonetheless it was a very great accident and the experience of this liquidation is available from the japanese side is already taking over the shelter object concept they hope to somehow suppress emission from their reactors and build something similar to our shelter from where they will be taking measures on liquidating the consequences. simply things develop similarly everywhere but in the case of emergency one doesn't like getting advice on the spur of the moment in order to advise properly one has to know the entire situation we make

a calculation and we analyze and then attempt to figure this situation out but we know very little basically. what he was behind the fact that it wasn't because of an al david cook knowledge he and major of course most or i thought this natural disaster may be a combination of the q. well before. it was a combination of factors he was a force major i believe it was the highest possible trial for a nuclear power station practically a maximal earthquake plus of very strong tsunami or the loss of electric supply was a technical mistake i'm strongly convinced that indeed a standby power system should have been designed to stand such a block all future power stations would be equipped with such systems in his negotiations with prime minister early again president medvedev made a very salient point that we should know where to build stations according to what design and who is to operate what does it mean and certainly japan has no other

options but to build on the coast as it doesn't have large inland water sources to cool the water in consensus and in close cycle and therefore their sea water is the most accessible way of cooling he carries and returning them into the closed thermodynamic cycle and on the other hand if one builds on the coast they have to provide for a tsunami impact and even more so tsunami and earthquake and what's this will be fixed in both existing in future projects i'm absolutely convinced. ok just a hundred forty kilometers from for. the background radiation in tokyo yesterday was as before a micro rain against an hour right now we had eighteen my hurricanes are now on our side so do you think talking about is out of danger now. i said as much to other channels yesterday we should fight the radio phobia kills more people than radiation girls you see even today we cannot know the long term consequences of

chernobyl how many people died there is much speculation we do not have any direct data i'm not a specialist in this area but i do believe the specialists who talk about it we have the institute for the problems of the safe development of the atomic power industry the russian academy of sciences and of course we are sending forth a wave of fear the atomic mushroom cloud the. oh industry this is why people perceive the word atom as a threat they have long been scared by the atomic bomb today it's a dangerous source of energy very dangerous if you watch it but the oil industry and chemical industries are just as dangerous the huge shock waves yesterday also spoke about the tsunamis come ashore and washed away three hundred thousand people can you imagine that i'm sure that all the world's atomic power plant disasters for the next one hundred years keep your fingers crossed won't cause as many casualties

it's scary to live near the coast. but is the coast. has no one come back it's a convenient place to live people fish people welcome tourists and make money people are coming back to the coast of course an early warning system is being developed and some sort of an evacuation arrangement is being put in place reasonable orthorexic do take steps in this direction but it's a direct analogy no one is renouncing it because the earth is not large nor does it have enough energy people can renounce it this is why we should handle atomic energy as a dangerous but useful power source that ought to be developed to my mind the atomic power industry as one major advantage it employs a large number of best individuals scientists personnel are highly mobile us to watch safety and attack of the elements like that is of course a horrible thing but i believe we will learn how to cope with this as well. that

russia have focused on what type reactors you. know a boiling water reactor we had a prototype at the nature of a small fifty megawatt reactor we don't have these types of reactors. europe have focus inward type reactors. i don't know if a certain germany has them for sure belgium i think as for the world figure out of the total number of pressurized water reactor was a characteristic feature where water is simultaneously a moderator and he carrier in a reactor that's what distinguishes pressurized water reactors a quarter boiling or single reactors that lack a steam generator for three quarters reactors like we had in this country where water is heated to a high temperature and a high pressure to generate steam in the steam generator and the steam is directed to the turbine this can offer certain advantages as we are seeing i think. this has to be analyzed and the specialist will analyze it closely into little plots even if

times fail was it driven by natural convection uncirculated along a closed loop provided the loop remains hermetically sealed of course take up heat and bring it to the steam generator generator in turn give it say to the cooling point inside the nuclear submarine kursk which was scuttled by an explosion all sources of electric power went dead when its reactor compartment was brought to the surface and open and you could launch the reactor right away because there was no knelt down it was a true reactor with a natural convection remove heat at the core while it steam generated communicated the heat to see what we see it so called passive security at this particular design realize this is no kind of c.e.o. of course and all sorts of complications are possible but the direct advantage of the truly reacted is displayed in such cases. will be possible just. no it's the same thing is the situation is

unclear how plants five and six where water is heated in paul's daughter is there i mean the cooling ponds for withdraw nuclear fuel in this country there were also attempts to continue running the chernobyl plot but the background levels were high as were high on the site i don't think the japanese government and the operating company will want to expose their personnel to radiation on that side because it will be made a zone for dealing with the consequences of the accident or that's for sure. but what do you deal with the dentist reactor do you think a shelter will happen. there was a similar accident in the world luckily the radioactive discharges were in significant i mean the three mile island reactor in the us a nine hundred seventy there was a milka we know the scenario where the core was melting and dropping to the reactors bottle and heating it but they managed to keep it within the show because there was water put removed heat at first it was somewhat lost and the core began

melting they couldn't stop it but eventually they succeeded in keeping it within the show later they flooded the whole thing with water and started dismantling it underwater and they did it the main thing here is to stop the process of melting and to ward off critical situations that's the important thing now. japanese are able to cope the americans will help them and we are ready to help to our specialists are over. what to stop them on their. water on the one hand water may be dangerous when you add border you increase the chances of neutron multiplication but on the other you have no other way out you must pour in water to remove the residual heat and water of these charges or incidents and you should cover it from above leaving some access. so thank you very much for that.

the. line in the ocean would be soon which bryson if you knew about song from tongues to the russians. means for instance on t.v. don't come. first create a removal called a clear cut to the second the explosives are used to blast to go deeper than the fears. heard the remainder removed by machinery and. finally the unborn it sure is deposited in the belly feel.

ugly want to be. hungry for the full story we've got it from. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. party's top stories amid reports of numerous civilian task seems you want to watch this because on that they're missing from politics no fly zone over libya all programs out and forces on the ground are said to be mounting attacks on a gravel stronghold. and you were asked has washed into the military effort in that we have despite already having to pay billions for ongoing conflicts elsewhere partly paid over who benefits from such spending. cuts japan reserves efforts to stabilize the damage reactors at the fukushima nuclear power plants half. it was

suspended following unexplained smoke emissions. from the ten belgium is frozen but our government is just putin to make sure ethnic communities continues ruling expert predictions about the risks could spread across the rest of europe. more details on all those stories coming up at the top of the hour up next the latest sports news with michael. thank you and it's the you're watching live sports update on r.t.l. top story is. the final playoffs now completely separate middle or becoming the last team to book their spot on monday evening. zinny to leave their disappointed europa league performance behind securing a second win in as many games in the russian premier league. and no rest for another george mitchell rafael and don't lay out an exhibit much in colombia right

after a meeting each other in the final into wealth that the before. the middle of the last remaining semifinal spot and all these sing off on god in the crucial seventh game their way to all disc when they have the man they gave mikel obi wan the only seven minutes into the second period and that slim advantage remained until the final minutes of regulation before on god place the goal down there with a six where even to survive the match and the series but instead the builds denise plucked out of school to turn them to next right at the buzzer sealing the two zero victory it means macdonald to take on solo boxing reliably in the east next while that you might see face up in west finals. football crime league now where three games were due to round up the second weekend of action on monday but inclement weather shortened that the just to create sort of home game against moscow postponed due to a waterlogged pitch constant snow over the weekend in some are ending any hopes of

play there meanwhile is a need to have joined the ribena of the league summit following a win over a bed to call us and he's andriy teammates from national cup open full of channels call it is man six minutes into the game. and at the end of the first stop the reigning champions doubled their lead throwing dunkel as a cake on. people are unable to save it and again and to neal. in the meantime spartak moscow bounced back from their shop opening defeater a stall last weekend with a narrow win over new boys rule the news need no brazilian striker well it's on with the only girl of the game here in the russian capital. and in the foregoing is shall care point to a new manager aiming to recover domestically and perform well in europe ralf ragni group placing the recently sacked ballack smallgoods who left the global after they slumped to wealth of the bogus legal on sunday with big names like proving they'll

help fifty two year old run the quitter gills and here where he's found a couple of season seven years ago well having also coached hoffenheim stood good and those are all set to prepare for the upcoming champions league quarter final we've been to milan and they german cup finals while rankings first much in charge will be a league game against some poly on the first of april. course i know whenever a joke of it and often a dull played out a friendly match in bogota less than twenty four hours after battling each other in the final and they did wells. deal flying they are straight from california where jock of each claimed is that of title of the season and twentieth win in a row as he beat nadal in for the south's sobol also leapfrog roger federer into second in the rankings rough and joker receiving a warm welcome at the sold out there reno with kolob and president juan manuel santos also in a town that's when he was a close affair despite its exit bishan status with an adult taking its seven six

six three handing the loss this year jack which said afterwards his goal is to give the momentum for the rest of the season. with the best. to be honest. my goal for inexperience is to try to try to be consistent with success. and you know the results are a. very long season first. he says he's over basically. good but there is months of the whole season so. you know. you can turn around somebody else. now in the n.b.a. my office staying the honk for the final playoff spot in the west as they beat conference rivals you don't on the night the grizzly is up by eight points at the

end of the first amendment makes it one thousand nine hundred ninety one converting design rebounds will be left handed who owed you my adding in three points of on the corner of the buzzer ok the second period to increase the least it's well points or not and zach randolph had a one thousand points thirteen rebounds and was one of seven these players and finished in double digits on tonight's the grizzlies stupid law no three eighty five meaning youth has dropped three games behind them for the final spot with only eleven games left and regular season so. now alexander busch i call for is the reigning want european champion and the twenty seven year old is now aiming to clinch the world title archies constantin popped up of talk to russia's hottest martial arts prospect. russia has been synonymous with what to do seeing world class fighters for many years now various disciplines in various martial arts scene washington dominating wing man and out to guard the doha securities one side where

the undisputed world king boxing champion was recently invited to be bursty just a one world series after winning every bell he had fought for. and now there is an east wide legend fielder you know the thirty four year old last emperor may be in the twilight of his career now after losing two consecutive hours but he is still on the elderly one of the greatest fighter is plying his trade today you know they are because former coach was on the get it believes the next global star of the song again in his corner i found a little shack or is it five blocks away definition but he's ready to knock down the key one door. i've been training bolcik over who more than a year with good people deserves a good coach and vice versa when i started to train him i had to change his technique a little but he's punching and kicking styles is now as good as anyone's he does sound powerful but sometimes out the training i can't feel my hands. which i called has had eleven q one qualifying bouts winning ten of them and one draw with if when

she started featuring flying using kicks the twenty seven year old outclassed the condition to play in the european court of last year and world crown now top of his agenda. first of all i want to become the best in the plant and then we'll get integrated holding title defense white russia because if you win you dictated to us and hopefully that will happen but has been addicted to martial arts since he was ten each year making impressive progress with regional and national titles at around his waist but for almost a decade it's been old boesky one for the st petersburg native he said of us in germany and the netherlands for example wires are played by their federations that's why we don't have a lot of assets as all of them have to earn money so instead of training they stay in the office or choir star who thought gives them honing their skills. here. we'll get lots of opportunities developed for the policeman who specializes

in drug enforcement stealing it for the duration actually start talking his native country his rise to the brocky one ranks would have come sooner rather than later and that is sure to be a very important step in developing the sport in martial arts crazy russia the same but out of. and back to for gold finally thirteen goals have been scored in seven matches as the new russian premier league season and saying it over the weekend i still have another look at those strikes and the goals galore. live clint . live
