to watch the bikes of the world's fastest growing economies gaining ground. brazil russia india china and south africa have put a united front as they strive to take an even greater slice of the world economy join me for the details in a few moments. on pm wednesday night here in moscow welcome this is our team my name is kevin owen and first with the russian presidential election less than a year away public interest in who will be running for the top seats higher than ever the country's two most powerful politicians have spoken about the issue explaining their positions so if a scope of itself. president prime minister putin had touched on the twenty. feet. when he had. nothing to say there was nothing

really given away but he did say nothing's being ruled out. i repeat should the president medvedev and i don't rule out the possibility that each one of the presidency our decision will be taking into account the economic social and political issues in the run up to the election this decision will certainly have to be made but we have almost a whole year before the election this election related doesn't help us carry out our work. just. maybe. we have. to. be speculating really on the possibility of the running to be. about the fact that they. think. about it is not. like russia's

position. about the elections. there is a list speculation everybody wants to know. the same thing nothing clear at the moment but. the possibility of my running for a second term of the presidential election decision will be taken very shortly since the elections. this decision should be. second and should take into account the existing social situ. why should. the attitude of people before making any such decisions one has to weigh their chances. and in states with

a clear understanding of the situation they did in that same interview. it's personal relationship that they need each other. they have relations he did specify that they take a different position a very different role so that. the prime minister putin today when he. was really a fake is the head of those elections are less than a year away that still a good amount of time in the focus really needs to be. people to be focusing on never was not getting too caught up in this election that of course speculation around the sort of thing always going to be right but the commentary that i think basically as he said nothing being ruled out so it seems correspondent sara firth for yourself today now on the way to libya's future decided by. a nato led international group is meeting in qatar to figure out what to do with the civil war

stricken country stay with. less than forty eight hours after it happened according to president bush and three suspects detained in connection with the monday metro bombing have confessed to the explosion. for as the latest. big rollout on terrorist attack has been solved the president of belarus suspect they've got people behind the job you've lost at nine pm on tuesday in a sting operation police arrest of suspects of belorussian origin and a bit of responsibility for this atrocity after long hours of interrogation i was investigated say they also they will lead to other similar terrorist attacks in the country's recent history in two thousand and in two thousand and eight to give us a breakthrough was in the c.c.t.v. footage which they got show you off to the last video shows one of the suspects

entering the metro station and leaving a bag which at that exploded i mean all elsewhere means the first funerals have been taken place as the country tries to come to terms with the human cost of this atrocity. i started to scream for help i was bleeding heavily i'm an injured woman can't be outside in the fresh air i took my med and didn't leave me until the ambulance arrived that's man and woman might be unaware they saved not only your enough but the life of your unborn child as well. come on the day i was going to the city center to buy vitamins it's terrible but i believe i thought of not only were people without armies with missing legs and hands under six months pregnant with my thoughts were a bag of baby. killing but instead to win the heart oath to protect ruby she was lucky people spot is here in the thick smoke and didn't trample your in the honey

which others vividly recall. the tree was packed and then there was this bang and all of those fires soon collapsed a lot of people were lying on the platform older stepped over something and then i saw he this was a girl's body. even though it was the closest to the epicenter of the blast she was the only to survive in her carriage again despite the panic others gave her a helping hand to escape the carnage from the city's busiest metro station this is where the two eyes of the newest subway intersect and this explains why there was so many commuters cheering this evening rush on tape i would just say that those hollywood just were carried out onto the street from these actions and many of those who want to still remain in critical condition in hospitals across the city the news of the tackle up the phone systems being lauded with people to contact

belhaj once for some delays and getting through for the longest moments of. us who don't know. me to say there was a terrorist attacks and then the line broke up when we came to the scene and so her . shocked it was all torn apart as if you'd been hit by a shotgun count it's almost always been handled clothes were covered in blood of you but she was trying to. crown you don't cry this is not my blood it's here the blood with that of others caught up in the child's city at the first funerals take place in minsk and elsewhere people have been flocking to the site of the tragedy to remember solemnly and to pray biblical messages laid around the subway station or in different languages but for some even words are just too painful. because anything changed for you since monday. lost lives.

it hurts it hurts terribly people need to understand and value every moment of their lives and remember those who died. i'm sorry but i can't time. the explosion in minsk on the ground is the most tragic terrorist act which bell was seen seems to be out of the second world war completely unthinkable until the evening of april eleventh terrorism is now agree more than a reality of these country as a ball on these day of mourning just support our laws in the country from around the world sit in the pressure of our t.v. means bellows. the world's largest emerging economies are in china to take part in a series of economic and political talks russia brazil india china and south africa also all known as brics nations are striving for a bigger say in the global financial architecture but they're also said to go beyond economics to to respond to a pressing international issues for a senate report. well peace five countries really want to do was to work on

together to push for a new international financial model that will benefit developing countries not just a few quick numbers to show you how wide this region this grouping of countries is becoming really an important part of the world is the world's dynamics first of all they do ever pass include two of the most populated countries in the world of course china and india and in terms of trade and their volume has reached two hundred thirty billion in two thousand and ten that's about fifteen percent of world trade eighty percent of the world's g.d.p. now these numbers may not be at their peak at the moment they do with that there's still a lot of room for improvement in this regard but the number the population in itself and the potential that they hold is clearly not to be ignored by the by the world in this case the actual summit will start to morrow but there have been meetings between the russian the president and the leaders of various countries today he's been meeting with the indian prime minister the south african president as well as

chinese president hu jintao as this is an economic forum big they cannot ignore the what's happening in the world so they can't just stick to economic problems another issue of course is the issue of libya now we know that the four countries out of five brazil russia india and china did abstain from voting on resolution one hundred seventy three which allowed the. air strikes on libya but south africa did vote in favor of that however still the consensus here is that they are not happy with what nato is doing. now we did hear from the chinese side that it may repeat may be raised they're going to show a strong front against this move by the west all the countries here do agree that cooperation is needed not just in terms of the economic solutions they are to find but also the political arena especially before they go to the g. twenty that will happen in november in france now that definitely is

a shift in the global politics the dynamics of the world moving away from the western countries to those countries in the regions that make up the brics. while the old world order may be pumping money down the drain on war in libya the new world order is fighting battles that can be won on the world's money and trade markets brazil russia india china and this year's new kid on the block south africa have gathered on the chinese island of hainan to talk business and it's not just about economy it's about politics as well though the brics countries do put a heavy emphasis on the economic issues broader political questions such as the situation in northern africa and the middle east are also going to be a hot topic for discussion the recount to stare all for u.n. resolution was very wise in terms of we're not going to get involved in this mess in fact when the french and british were drastic the resolution there were serious objections from the floor countries brazil russia and china traditionally it was

always the u.s. and major western nations like france and germany playing deleting roles in politics and economy but if you take into consideration be ongoing financial crisis and the fact that breaks countries comprise more than half of the world's population and pull in almost a quarter of the world's g.d.p. it becomes obvious that a certain geopolitical shift in power is in progress or that there are several reasons these are the emerging powers of the twenty first century europe as we all and all is absolutely dead economically politically has no it's lourdes they cannot even organize their own foreign policy it's a fearful continent these are car countries there are have been less affected by the crisis than have the european countries the united states and these are countries that are going to continue to grow if not rapidly and least moderately

while the rest of europe and united states seems to be mired in crisis european leaders them. really to losing ground in recent years everything that we have taken for granted for two centuries american and european dominance to the point at which most of the world's manufacturing goods most of the world's exports most of the world's investment was done in these countries it is no longer a fact europe and the us are finally beginning to understand the emerging power of the breaks nations i think the western countries of. the strength of the brics economies by expanding what was. now twenty. brics countries have been. strategy which has been very effective i certainly think that there will be changes in the economic and i think that's

inevitable as these countries grow while the western powerhouses continue pounding away on regimes they find desirable a new economic and political architecture is emerging and these five countries are keen to prove they're not just another brics in the world. court t.v. china. and today is the japan's fukushima plant continue work on emptying highly radioactive water from one of the nuclear reactors the latest tests show that radiation levels in the sea near the damage facility have spiked on choose day japan raised the level of nuclear alert at the plant a maximum of seven putting it on par with the chernobyl disaster recovery efforts came under threat two was a series of powerful aftershocks at the area near the power station came a month after the massive earthquake and tsunami devastated the country if you know . how to train stations around the world picking up small amounts of radioactive particles spreading some of the sheen that we're now joined by environmental

experts are supposed peace on the line from risk university in wales great britain thanks for much being with us for weeks on the plants operated still struggling to regain control of those nuclear reactors and stop the spread of radioactive material from the plant why is the progress been so slow. well because the the as i said long ago it's me no pleasure to have been proved right the accident was really much more serious than anybody admitted at the time and it's still more serious than than people are admitting now one of the problems of course is that you can't get close to the reactors because they are still fissioning still material that is producing great activity as a result of efficient process many of the reactors damage to the point that fuel is coming out of them and you just can't work under those conditions and nor can electronic instruments work under those conditions because what happens is that the microchips that run the robots just don't operate when the great ocean field gets

up to a certain level here did when i spoke to few weeks ago you were among the few talking most darkly about they see run the lightning out series you saw the actual situation was it selling at the time i recall at not really being echoed from japan but now of course as of yesterday japan has raised the severity level of that nuclear danger to the next move seven put situation has been mentioning on par with the chernobyl disaster i know you're not particularly surprised by this but peaky can you explain why that is only happening now why is this level only just been raised in kind of went up and up and then yesterday reached the likes of. well if you look back into history into the history of the chernobyl disaster exactly the same thing happened people tried to talk down the disaster in some ways i feel that this was because they couldn't quite believe it themselves there was an element of psychological noise here but on the other hand we do know the nuclear industry is very powerful is very powerful lobbying system and there's an enormous amount of money running on the back of the nuclear industry through uranium shares and people

who have shares in the development of nuclear and so on so it would be an absolute disaster to have to admit that this was a serious as it was and i think it is shockingly responsible you know nearly criminally responsible for these people to top down the accident in the way that they did because what it will what will have happened is that people will have believed them and it will go to acted in such a way as to save themselves from radioactive radioactivity and radiation damage so even now we have very sorry i was going to say because of us as briefly as you can and what is the real picture here you see it from the information that you've gathered from what you've seen what do you think really is going on there and should the japanese government be doing more at this at this very moment as we're speaking ok well it there is serious contamination on the ground up to one hundred kilometers and there's less serious contamination out to two hundred kilometers there's significant contamination in tokyo and even to the south of tokyo so in calculations i've made in the last two weeks and i've just come back from berlin

where i gave a paper on this in my estimation on the basis of the risk model of the european committee on radiation risk about four hundred thousand people will develop cancer in the two hundred kilometer radius if they're not moved we're talking about seven point eight million people living inside that two hundred kilometer radius so why are you going may i present the way why are you one of the few one of the low voices saying this while we're hearing more of these grave consequences and warnings that the but you're giving. i'm basing my predictions on on the health effects of the chernobyl accident and i was talking to a lot of researches from from the chernobyl area who been looking into the affects of the chernobyl accident and on the basis of those figures it's possible to predict the number of of cancers that will develop in fukushima and also along the coast i have to say because the marine sediment is now becoming contaminated and the shellfish to concentrate the the radioactivity it's an absolute it's an

absolute disaster anyway this is my prediction and i gave my prediction some time ago a new member i was proved right in doing so here's my prediction again and we will see what's it going to mean for people currently in that exclusion zone people in the evacuation zone will they ever be able to go back home i don't think so no i think that it will be like the true novel exclusion zone and people will be kept i mean it may be that they will say that you can go back and it's all safe and so forth but i don't think they will and i don't think anybody believes and i anyway my people in japan tell me that there's an enormous rage in tokyo and in the areas around fukushima about the way in which this information has come out so slowly and in such a in such a difficult way and even some of this information could be shown to be wrong i mean we you know able to find figure out that the. data that they gave is actually not correct and they downplayed the levels of contamination you can see that this is what i call to making calculations because her husband talked to us

from both wells environment expert as you all thank you for being on the program your insight most valuable thank you for asking well the brief a suicide bombers killed at least ten people in the attack on tribal elders in eastern afghanistan a close ally of president karzai was killed in the blast the attacker approached the elders out for a meeting before detonating the explosives strapped to his body the taliban has denied responsibility for the attack claiming that the victims had their own enemies. the pose the jewish leader hosni mubarak and his two sons have been placed under detention for fifteen days the move is part of a police investigation into corruption and abuse allegations but barack is currently in intensive care after reportedly suffering a heart attack had been under house arrest since he was overthrown in a popular uprising in february in ivory coast french and u.n. troops have seized ammunition from forces loyal to former president on bag it comes after he surrendered to french forces which supported al assad with the

internationally recognized winner of last november's election of the bible is now awaiting a pretty good best occasion for his actions and those of the entourage resulting conflicts into a public place nearly a thousand. as the world marks russia's achievement of sending the first manager space fifty years ago a look back at how it all became possible solve it volunteers risked their lives to gauge what humans might experience in space as it approached provan one such person who lived to tell the tale. he went through hell on earth to put the first man in space john and unusually for russia was a volunteer who just think with and only to reach orbit and it took him to the limits of human insurance. no one of the world has ever experienced what i did nineteen g. on the centrifuge that means my weight increased nineteen faulty blood was imposing through my polls later i was a big me even mentioning back then everything was

a secret in one nine hundred fifty nine when given all became a test no one knew just how humans would be elected by zero gravity extreme stress or even the sense of endlessness space was the great unknown and to many questions needed answering. if any emergency that could happen to a cosmonaut during a flight and in reality they really experience all this i had to endure and one string attached to find a safe angle for an emergency landing seat i was thrown from a fourteen need to height just like that fatal another time i spent thirteen hours in ice cold water to test a spacer when the state commission came to check on me in the mall who someone said i was surprised look he's alive. the experiments using humans are not top secret in the soviet union and it wasn't fame the volunteers well after. we were brought up that way we weren't afraid of extreme situations there's simply no fear as the

space program developed this became more sophisticated the imitation of weed listeners full immersion was implanted in soon preceded many trials. one of the most pleasant tests is being stuck in this capsule after the martian. being that heard by the waves of the open sea. and actual cross world runs a maximum of three hours in this position as part of their training while the test engineers have to last for days in forty degree heat or cold. the last of the oldest of three days one of his c.c. companions gave up one trial there but. not everyone survived those tests we never thought of ourselves as heroes we bled. out of the work and we needed to prove

looking at this could do little daughter in years and over three hundred experiments on i came to the conclusion. it was maybe even more important for space science than if i was in the space of months or years of nowadays the cosmonaut survival is based on their work except potential are not wish to make and they do have a chance of traveling just least one day i'll just give it all nine years of just engineers want to become and that's exactly the tragedy and they simply sacrificed themselves their work their names may be lost in history but in many ways it was them the unknown here is the dream of space a reality gary pushed over our storage city just north of school for five minutes past the hour as catch up on the business next after a quick break. welcome

to business use and hear the stories we have for you this hour the five member bloc of the world's largest emerging economies is gathering this week in china the meeting of the so-called brics that is brazil russia india china and south africa is seen as an attempt to develop a unified approach to global economic challenges. i think the difference not that you have some things in common they're all growing force they're all big and they're all to a certain extent the institutions of economic governance that we have in the world the g seven in particular i think what they can do is they can coordinate positions they can understand where they're coming from and they can put unified positions to the g seven and to the u.s.
