don't you love scott brothers in the city of slovyansk on books in soldiers historical photos of escape capturing the city salutes and kills more militia major as a good of a child from a stroke or less to tropicana hutto. welcome back here with r.t.d. and let's now take a look at the top stories memorial events are underway to mark twenty five years since the world's worst nuclear accident explosions have a churned up power plant sent radiation across many parts of europe and is being remembered in some of the most affected areas in ukraine russia and. nato nations are being accused of arming libya's rebels even before the uprising began meanwhile fightings region deadlocked as it often forces continue to lay siege to the city of misrata while nato airstrikes target the colonel's town in

tripoli. russian security forces say they've prevented a suicide attack and have killed several militants in a terrible down in the north caucasus some of those killed are believed to be a link to russia's most wanted terrorist del kumar. so the top stories now more on the university of the turn novel tragedy our team talks to a member of a cleanup crew who was deployed to the disaster zone immediately after the blast. here by force from mr soraya thank you for pain free pass for these interview sponsored banks for revising let's gets past that was not did you know what you were going to face when you received orders to go to your novel. when or received

my order i did have a full understanding of what was happening there we had very scarce information other times i was on a business trip in budapest was told to leave it within the next twenty four hours for food to moscow and arrived at the ministry where the chief department heads i would take a special flight from the airfield in two hours you figure out what happens once you get there alone so i went to be airport immediately so there i met my friends and colleagues design engineers who had taken the same flight to deliver project documents we went together to help with. the lights or what information did you have on the way there belongs collegial and foremost i knew that an explosion happened on the site was in ruins that's about it although i wish did you realize it was in nuclear catastrophe i certainly thought it was. according to the state during the first six months following the accident with proximately three hundred thousand people worked in the area of the chernobyl nuclear power station what was

the most difficult challenge for as one of the leaders. everything was difficult tempos difficult each day were facing new chance to hatch we resolved somehow using all our experience to empty towns and villages were the ones that made the most depressing impression on me people were backward from chernobyl a surrounding areas of the about villages and towns were abandoned that was very dismal it wasn't even the fact is my first time crossing the site in an armored vehicle then we were taking measures in relieving the after effects of flew over all those ruins in a helicopter i was also impressed by that because as a director and chief engineer of the same kind of energy unit from scratch and simulates power station up to space in the entire process it was all done in front of my very own eyes to see it destroyed that that was very difficult pete abandoned towns made the most dismal impression. three quarters of workers who dug

out their one hundred fifty meter tunnel under the reactor and died before turning forty six hundred solid something tuscan brigade were exposed to strong radiation were those human sacrifices really necessary. to do i'm not familiar with the statistics as for helicopter parts of mine is very spiritual was within the permissible limits of the birches the standards of the time some were exposed more than others who were trying to stay within limits and avoid overexposure when miners were digging the tunnel i visited it myself in the tunnel itself the background radiation was natural but strong exposure was outside with the mind cars were taken up to unload together with a camera troops that were bought the site we tend to deactivate eternals orifice to reduce the irritation as for just apply any sacrifices were not justified we were doing our utmost to keep the number of victims as low as possible in those conditions. were you apprehensive about another possible explosion of his

late april in early may we did have such apprehension by the way the tunnel that you mentioned was intended to prevent further explosions from that without cooling the remaining nuclear fuel in the reactors could heat up and cause an uncontrollable chain reaction that it would melt the foundation plates of the reactors main body and go down to the ground therefore the decision was made to dig that tunnel urgently and just average a cooling system under the foundation plate study of us what is to knoebels legacy for some people like reasons academicians legacy of who committed suicide later couldn't leave with it. mostly due to. as an atomic energy pressure on us primarily very concerned for the subject of the ets omic energy i did a cape my whole life to it and i have always believed as a do now it's a rather prominent and necessary way of producing electrical power. proper working to decisions is

a clean energy production in terms of its impact on environment and mankind therefore as word atomic energy would be wound down i would personally return to coal furnace is the boiler stations in every building and so on away used to be another thing fifty's or sixty's. for the president that's when the chernobyl catastrophe happened the information on the explosion was publicized late which resulted the loss of many lives those are some practical of the same thing happened in the focus they worked very hard to conceal data on the explosion and to keep pace from becoming public can we now believe nuclear that spreads more and you know everything about africa she met today with. under such circumstances it is impossible to know everything every tiny detail and we should believe the information we get those responsible for this information may also be silly partially with lord why can't we disclose all the facts and make them public and

for not some form of tax differ sometimes it's possible to present them in a way that will so panic among the population and that is fraught with harder consequences than the accident itself as why this information be truthful but were waved as presentations should be proportionate to real actions in the current circumstances. how can you say that at the normans to paris taking all the adequate measures it's hard for me to judge just like you i get all the news from the t.v. in the first days following the tsunami great destruction was caused and judging from the news secondary facilities responsible for the stations operation had been damaged those were energy supply units in the first place the reactor itself remain undamaged by the tsunami at that moment it was necessary to close all the efforts of resuming energy supplies to the reactors coded system one of forty that wasn't done on time and the whole process became trapped and delayed i think that only ten

days after the tsunami the japanese started supplying water cooling system from poses of far hose barrels that was ineffective and even harmful energy of supply and restoring the cooling systems normal operation was the priority task for the liquidators a forty day last time done that the damage would have been steam discharges and that would have been the end of it three matthiessen in the united states but since the reactors active zone was left without cooling temperatures kept rising as a result a few melt down occurred it was followed by her georgia supply. the pressurize ation of the reactors containment and consequently discharges not only vapors or gases radioactive materials but elements of nuclear fuel into the atmosphere. not physically she misses us to has been followed by a barrage of criticism towards nuclear energy should we continue developing eight or better to give up the energy to be one hundred percent safe. no human

activity can be absolutely safe any kind of activity including political and public activities in any society and whatever people do should be considered from the point of your safety as science and technology progresses machines become more complicated we develop new forms of energy which used to be unknown and unclear in the past so i call for profound scientific research a measure in the stages repellents design and construction we can live with it and we should trust that. looking back what we have done differently into normal twenty five. could have been done differently it's hard for me to say today after twenty five years of the past i think that everything that was done at that time was right and rational it was unnecessary to attract so many he results it's a vast area we could have done the job a few people first time we've known what to do and how to do it some citizens of

the state commission to carry out certain works which later turned out to be unnecessary were also superfluous you just mentioned a tunnel for miners there but those words have to secure our selves in worse troubles and they were justified. the people who did that heroically did a very big job as wise experts began understanding a degree of hazards they just did the work that we carried out at the chernobyl nuclear power station until late tonight in eighty six and radioactive background has been high at the entire site within a range of five kilometers it's very difficult to approach a site without changing transport but in june when experts had obtained clarity with regard to what was left in the damaged reactor and how they should act a solution was simple difficult but simple helicopters dropping eight hundred cubic meters of seizing agents on the damaged reactor for seventy two hours that makes the radioactive dust and prevented from rising from the reactor along a ventilation partly it was

a hundred fifty meters away natural circulation pulled off all that dust and dispersed it through the neighborhood naturally we were breathing in that dust so we had to suppress all that when the operation was completed the radioactive level at the entire facility dropped four hundred times that's not only help the liquidates took protestation ok it's the activation of a few expenses also enabled them to climb on the damaged reactors roof to clear away the radioactive discharge on the top from the. palestine what's the situation in chernobyl today i've heard the containment spilt over to them it's power unit is gradually deteriorating what's going on there. first of all this constant engineering observation over the state of this containment sense is happiness through parts of the four unit of measure to contain its destruction. this observation is constant as far as i know there hasn't been any significant destruction of the containment look at any construction facility there are pockets

there's nothing catastrophic second there are some radioactive discharges they can easily be measured of these charges are also under control i don't think there's a threat to the containment is deteriorating it was built as a very high engineering level it has thick walls with a high degree of safety overhead also built over walls and overhead covers were built around the damage reactor units well concrete was pumped inside the reactor. inside the reactor pumps pumped him liquid concrete. everything there were some minor cavities with thirty left all. hundred thousand cubic meters of concrete but capacity to construction the reactor of the first trial unit required four hundred twenty thousand people meters of concrete almost half that amount was pumped into the reactor and that concrete number is resting his side the reactor

and its original form. thank you very much for the you're welcome. wealthy british scientists on. the. market finance scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy with months concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on our g fifteen states this is not a provocation but warns of. the forces that he should step

norio events are underway to mark twenty five years since the world's worst nuclear accident explosion of a churned out of power plant sends radiation across many parts of europe as being remembered in some of the most affected areas in ukraine russia bello's. nato nations are being accused of arming libya's rebels even before the uprising began while fighting snitching deadlock ask the doc forces continue to lay siege to the city of misrata nato airstrikes started the calls compound in tripoli. russian security forces say they have prevented a suicide attack that killed several militants in

a terrible down in the north caucuses some of those killed are believed to be linked to russia's most lot of terrorist all through march. that's where the top source here in our c.n.n. sports next with anger. hello there good to have you company are watching the sport and these are the headlines. brazil legend roberto carlos gets his first goal in russia's angy flame a point against you know. munched united born against complacency as they pack if i shall come in the champions league semifinals. branding the game so that you will build an image for the twenty fourteen winter olympics that i used to live long in the memory. of brazil full back were better colors has got its first goal and the russian premier league he scored from the spot ranji cheering that seems to draw

with on monday the thirty eight year old joining the side for indians in the summer i'm showing is at the back for angie in the early stages of this guy but it wasn't until the second half when much really came to life in arms eaglesham shelf was given a second yellow to hand bowling an engine free kick he claimed the bullet hit his play but the replay shows the ref got it right in center of could face a lengthy ban after arguing with officials as he walked down the tunnel anyway hopes that roberto carlos to slot in his first off ranji and yankees said vizard career but that leading lasted five minutes the other end. job to control before finding the post and corner to make it one one. angie did one manage to respond by getting his toe on the end of a process to nome a file to clear. but just as angry with thinking they had all three points in the

bag noma got a penalty themselves after on the revolver in him was found in the box. and the same of each language home with just two minutes left and you stay six while the number. i was still with that i managed to meet the right thank you page resigned last week i would knowing that i was in a job back on top of that for the three no way in every previous say yes to the weekend thought that most guys move. to i need a second win in six games let's look back now at all the action from game week six cities that was going to. play.

the lead. player. player. play. live.

tonight is the first semifinal in the champions league manchester united travel to jim inside shall care but will be without top scorer dimitar berbatov he has a growing strain and did not take part in the training session of elton's arena so wayne rooney and how do you hand as a set to lead the line for united who are the favorites it will be the twelfth time i've played in the champions league semifinalists a plenty of experience underlined by the fact that i keep edwin van and as i will be playing in the last quarter wreck or thirteenth time i tally i only match by former chelsea midfielder. i think the present group would. be enough experience in europe and i think that's where we should be i think that the expectation from my point of views are always in high regard to the european scene because. you do get envious of all the clubs we record in europe and we try

to. into particular thought you know it's a play or real madrid and he's seen a lot and by your meaning and. we're the people i really need to. progress quick way to get to that where we're going no you just. enjoying it so just reduce your so it's nice when you win you know you've all seen in a winning team and that's where you have you done a lot lately hopefully you can keep on doing that just just circle games you have to play. this season augurs i'm. just. curious so far and let's hope we can we can. finish finish off nice sounds delighted anyway in contrast making their first appearance in a european cup semifinal they have struggled to mess to clean this season and a tenth in the bund is legal however you coach ralph and i knew it has revived

their fortunes and they impressively not bad defending champions in some island seven three in aggregate in the previous round. for me is the most important thing is that we concentrate on our own game we're focused on the way we surprised if you look at the game against him we were one behind after our seconds it didn't look good in the team we've gotten a fantastic amount what it's all about it's not just. about back in england manchester city have improved their chances of playing in next season's champions league i won their win for them at blackburn last night cementing fourth spot in the english premier league. goals coming from him and it was his first to city since his fourteen million dollar move from the wolves really for him and also about his day life a side in that last champions league spot and four points clear of fifth place talking and as for blackburn their only out of the relegation zone on goal difference this evening f.a.

cup final. second thoughts and moves in the middle and starving the potters themselves are thought points above the relegation zone but still remain with an outside chance becoming the first f.a. cup winners and european qualified to be relegated in the same season opponents wolves have the worst record in the top flight for when we see them move back of the drops a. one more goal one more point but through a. jury for really. dogmatic about who it is because he really wants me to. win this room if we win the last two games and not to go because i don't know what's going to be. i don't think anybody. i knew. it was going to be. let's get the latest from the first round of the n.b.a. playoffs where the memphis grizzlies have gone three one up in their series against san antonio led by my comments fifteen points they beat the one hundred four points

to eighty eight and a number four elsewhere the mavericks have to face the portland trail blazers ninety three c. in dallas to lead their series three two. scoring top scoring for them a twenty five point one game on going oklahoma we just one more win in their series against the start of the game day that was tied at forty five pace and finally the sochi olympic organizing committee has revealed the branding for the event which will be used at sporting events and venue to the winter games in twenty fourteen the concept is a very traditional patchwork town was the brainchild of sports legend sport the passion is a combination of sixteen designs representing the most famous russian crafts along with some of the different cultures traditions and ethnic groups that make up russia. since little russia will soon celebrate the beginning of the one thousand camp until the games would be

a simple celebration we are planning an all russian marathon it's the visual design of the games has to appeal to every russian and then some thinking about what it should look like we realized the stem from tradition did have a novel side to it. so that brings us to the end of the sports more in a couple of times but the weather as usual coming up next. you.

and. twenty five years of full nights. from the most devastating nuclear disaster in history. a quarter of a century on his month long to learn from its mistakes. the

legacy of chernobyl. on the marquee. morning news today volunteers once again flared up. these are the images go girl has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operations room today.
