welcome back here with r.t. here's a look at the top stories the more you will dance on the way you mark twenty five years since the world's worst nuclear accident explosion out of turn all the power plants and radiation across many parts of europe and is being remembered in some of the most affected areas in ukraine russia and belarus. nato nations are being accused of arming reviews rebels even before the uprising began while fighting is reaching down long as the doctor forces continue to lay siege to the city of misrata while nato airstrikes targeting kernels compound in tripoli. russian

security forces say they've prevented a suicide attack and have killed several militants in a terror prag down in the north caucasus and some of those killed are believed to be linked to russia's most wanted terrorist still call them are. now more on the anniversary of the churn awful tragedy the presidents of the chew countries most affected by the disaster ukraine and russia are bowed to and remembered ceremony itself and they will commemorate those who died while dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy meanwhile r.t. hears from a surviving member of a cleanup crew who was deployed to the disaster zone immediately after the blast. hereby force mr soraya thank you for being with us for these interviews it's

awesome thanks for inviting me let's cause us there was not you know a what you were going to face when you received orders to go to your novel. but when i received my order i didn't have a full understanding of what was happening there we had very scarce information the other time i was on a business trip in budapest was told to leave it with the next twenty four hours i flew to moscow and arrived at the ministry where the chief department heads i would take a special flight from the colver airfield in two hours you figure out what happens once you get there and so i went to the airport immediately and there i met my friends and colleagues design engineers who had taken the same flight to deliver project documents we went together with the tip of the. public for what information did you have on the way there along skull of your own for them also knew that an explosion happened the site was in ruins that's about it. did you realize it was in nuclear catastrophe or not 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 he as one of the leaders. everything was difficult at work tempos difficult each day were facing new charges had to be resolved somehow using all our experience to empty towns and villages were the ones that made the most depressing impression on me people were evacuated from chernobyl and 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 aftereffects of flew over all those ruins in a helicopter i was also impressed by that because i as a director and chief engineer of the same kind of energy unit from scratch and smell its power station went up to space in the entire process it was done in front of my very own eyes to see it destroyed like that was very difficult abandoned

towns made the most dismal impression. so there is. three quarters of workers who dug out their one hundred fifty meter tunnel under the reactor and died before turning forty thousand six hundred dollars from them to skin brigade were exposed to strong radiation were those human sacrifices really necessary. i'm not familiar with the statistics as for helicopter parts a 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 couple where miners were digging a tunnel i visited 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 camel troops that were bought for such we tend to deactivate eternals orifice to reduce the irritation as for justifying any sacrifices were not justified we were

doing our utmost to keep the number of victims as low as possible in those conditions but of a president that's when this your noble catastrophe happened the information on the explosion was publicized late trees altered the loss of many lives practically the same thing happened again for the sheema they worked very hard to conceal data on the explosion and to keep it from becoming public enemy now believe nuclear experts and you know everything about ashima today with run off. under such circumstances it is impossible to know everything every tiny detail and we should believe nation we get to those responsible for this information may also be silly partially although it why i can truly disclose all the facts and make them public and for not inform us of facts differ sometimes it's possible to present them in a way that will so panic among the population and that is fraught with consequences

only accident itself as why this information should be truthful but well weighed as presentation should be proportionate to real actions look for circumstances. how can you say that at the moment japan is taken all the adequate azure's 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 cause and judging from the news secondly facilities responsible for the stations operation had been damaged those were energy supply units in the first place but the reactor itself remained undamaged by the tsunami at that moment it was necessary to post all the efforts of resuming energy supplies to the reactors cooling system that is unfortunately that wasn't done on time and the whole process became trapped in delayed having the only ten days after the tsunami the japanese started supplying water cooling system composes a car hose barrels that was in effect of an even harmful resuming energy supply and

restoring the cooling systems normal operation was the priority task for the liquidators a forty day last time. the damage would have been steam distributors 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 jordan and. the pressurize asian reactors containment and consequently discharges not only papers or gases radioactive materials but elements of nuclear fuel into the atmosphere for them. she misses us to has been followed by a barrage of criticism towards nuclear energy should we continue developing heat or better to give it up neatly and be one hundred percent safe of course no human activity can be absolutely safe. any kind of actively included in public activities

in any society whatever people do should be considered from the point of your safety but science and technology progress is machines become more dance and complicated we develop new forms of energy which used to be unknown and unclear in the past cycle for profound scientific research a measure is in the status of the panamint design and construction so we can live with it and we should trust it. looking back what we have done differently for twenty five. what 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 resorted to the sas the area we could have done the job with fewer people but it's time we know what to do and how to do it some decisions of the state commissions carry out certain works which later turned out to be unnecessary were also superfluous you've

just mentioned a tunnel for miners but those words have this here ourselves and worse troubles and they were justified the people who did that wrote he did a very big job as wise experts began understanding the degree of hazard they just had to work so carried out at the chernobyl nuclear power station until late tonight in eighty six with radioactive background has been high at the entire site within a range of five kilometers it was 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 damage reactor and how they should act as solution was simple difficult for simple helicopters dropping eight hundred cubic meters of seizing agents on the damage reactor for seventy two hours would that fix the radioactive dust and prevent it from rising from the reactor along a ventilation flightless those one 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 stuff so when the operation was completed the radioactive level at the entire facility dropped four hundred times. that's not only help the liquidates to approach the station and k.f.c. activation a few expenses also enable them to climb on the damaged reactors roof to clear away the radioactive discharge from the top of from your house but what's the situation in chernobyl today i've heard that containing spills over the falls there much power unit he's gradually deteriorating what's going on there. first of all this cuts in engineering observation over the state of this containment so one senses have been a student all parts of the four viewed it measure to contain this destruction this observation is constant for us as far as i know there hasn't been any significant destruction of the containment and still look at any construction facility there are cities and pockets there's nothing catastrophic second there are some

radioactive discharges they can easily be measured alone emmett's of these charges are also under control i don't think there's a threat the containment is deteriorating it was built at a very high engineering level it has thick walls with a high degree of safety overhead covers were also built moreover walls and overhead covers were built around the damage reactor unit well concretes was pumped inside the reactor helicopters dropped metal i think inside the reactor pumps pumped in liquid concrete if that's the field everything there are some minor cavities with thirty left all in all liquid a huge over two hundred thousand cubic metres of concrete but because of the construction the reactor of the first trial unit required four hundred twenty thousand cubic metres of concrete almost half that amount was pumped into the reactor and that concrete is resting inside the reactor and it's a vision a form. of thank you very much for they seem to be you're welcome.

from corinthians in the summer i'm a showing his words at the back to angie in the early stages of last night's game but it wasn't until the second half the match really came to life in arms igor same show off was given a second yellow card for him bowling an angry free kick he climbed the ball and hit his head at the replay shows the ref got it right and same shelves could face a lengthy ban after arguing with officials as he walked down the tunnel anyway step roberta carlos to slop in the slot in his first over angie eighty seven his long career but that leaves only lasted five minutes at the other end according show people intro before finding the bottom corner to make it one. of the ranji responded. getting his toe on the end of a cross is the nominee to claim. but just as angry with thinking they had all three points the normal got a penalty themselves after andre veyron in was found in the box here. seam of

.

well tonight is the first semifinal in the champions league munched united travel to german side shall be for the third leg but without their top scorer dimitar berbatov he has a growing strain and did not take part in a training session how the belgians arenas wayne rooney and how he handles a set to lead the line for united who are their favorites it will be the twelfth time they've played in a champions league semifinal so plenty of experience underlined by the fact they had been banned as will be playing in the last four for a record thirteen time a tally any match by former chelsea midfielder cloud matter late. i think the present group would. be not experienced know in europe and i think that's where we should be i think that they speak. from my point of years old and high regard to the european scene because. you do get envious of other clubs who are

a couple in europe and we'll try to come to party with that you know it and play our real madrid and you see by your minutes and i x. would appear all i really need to. progress quick way to get to that where we're going. now you are just. enjoying it sort of reduce your so it's nice when you win you know you're fourteen in a winning team and you don't know a lot lately and hopefully you can keep working on doing that this lasts a couple games if you have to play the issue of the season. in contrast making their first appearance in a european cup semifinal they have struggled to mystically this season and are ten in abundance league however new coach frank has revived their fortunes name preferably not that are pending champions into milan seven three on aggregate in the previous rank so these are the most important thing is that we concentrate on

our own game we are focused on the way we supposed to play if you look at the game against inter we were one behind after forty five seconds it didn't look good in the team that we've got in a fantastic manner and that's what it's all about. family on a great high spots alone and the other semifinal on wednesday now back in england managed to city have improved their chances of playing in next season's champions league a one zero win for them at blackburn last night cementing fourth spot in the premier league. with the only goal his first the city since his forty million dollars move from will spur and that gives his side a four point cushion over tottenham who are in faith and also asked for that last champions league spot as the blackburn may only stay out of the relegation zone on god difference. tonight f.a. cup finalists toko second bottom wolves in the midlands darby the parties themselves are five points above the relegation zone while bulls are the worst away

record in the top flight club when i would see them move back to drop side and. one more goal one more point both of them through the. jury for him really. dogmatic about it. because he really wants me to watch if we don't win this for if we win the last two games and that's enough because i don't know what's going to be . i don't think anybody. i know goldilocks knows there's going to be. well let's get the latest from the first round of the n.b.a. playoffs where the memphis grizzlies have gone three one arpanet best of seven series against san antonio and led by mike conley's fifteen points they won one hundred four points to eighty eight and game number four elsewhere the mavericks if they just important trailblazers ninety three eighty two in dallas lead their series three denver live to fight another day they pulled back their series three one against oklahoma one hundred four hundred one picks three

a memorable one to beat them is tied liason orsen got a career high twenty seven points. very. very emotional emotional. so you know i just want to come out and just play strong and that's what we do. now the man in charge of organizing last year's commonwealth games is due in court today over claims of corruption. was the face of the games organizing committee and is alleged to favored a swiss company when buying equipment for timing and scoring events spending thirty one million dollars of government money when the equipment could have been bought elsewhere for much less comedies arrest comes a month after two other officials of the organizing committee were held to a bar not became virgin or were accused of financial irregularities cost overruns so the games budget jumped from four hundred twelve million dollars to fifteen billion dollars in government regrets what has happened.

since the. got up from it was unfortunate and i think it will not happen and what has happened is something which i not reporting and finally organizers of the sochi winter olympics have revealed a design they hope will live long in the memory and is a mix cultural it's a mix of cultural images from russia but will be used to brand events in benny's in twenty fourteen a concept is based on a traditional patchwork. boiled down was the brainchild of sports leisure group bosco sport the possum is a combination of sixteen does designs you can see there behind that gentleman representing the most famous russian cross along with some of the different cultures traditions and ethnic groups that make up what he russia this is little russia will soon celebrate the beginning of the one thousand a countdown until the games won't be as simple celebration we are planning an all russian marathon of the it's

a visual design of the games has to appeal to every russian and then some with thinking about what it should look like we realized it had to stem from tradition you have a novel side to it. i'm not is the sport for now i'm back in and i just thought it was more.
