sigyn flared up. these are the images the world seeing from the streets of canada. for asians are. you with us you are from moscow right in our hearts boss for the afternoon headlines now and it's a day of remembrance for the victims of the china exactly a quarter of a century on the safety of nuclear energy concern once again after the recent crisis of japan's fukushima power plant. italy is the latest to join the nato bombardment of colonel gadhafi forces in libya and a month into the operation experts speculate it was planned long ago including the

action of arming the rebels before any under-estimate the. pressure wiki leaks revelations depict britain as a terrorism a breeding ground almost trained in london the masterminds finding safe haven in the country. now more on the anniversary of the tragedy as he talks to a member of the clean up crew deployed to the disaster zone immediately after the last. mr serai of thank you for being with us for this interview it's possible it's revising its cost was asked of was not did you know what you were going to face when you received orders to go into your novel. you know where you're going to win or cede my order i did have
8:32 am
a full understanding of what was happening there we had very scarce information at the time i was on a business trip in budapest and i was told to leave it with the next twenty four hours i flew to moscow and arrived at the ministry where the chief department head tom would take a special flight from the colder air field in two hours to figure out what happens once you get there a lot so i went to the airport immediately there i met my friends and colleagues design engineers who had taken the same flight to deliver project documents we went together without at the. time i thought what information did you have on the way there belongs collegial and foremost i knew that an explosion happened the site was in ruins that's about it. did you realize it was a nuclear catastrophe i certainly thought it was. according to the state here in the first six months following the accident approximately three hundred thousand people work in the area of the chernobyl nuclear power station what was the most
8:33 am
difficult challenge for he as one of the leaders still everything was difficult tempos difficult each day were facing new tarsa had to be resolved somehow using all our experience but 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 above villages and towns were abandoned that was very dismal it wasn't even a fact is nothing worse than crossing the site in an armored vehicle then we were taking measures on relieving the after effects of flu 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 small its power station when up to space in the entire process it was all done in front of my very own eyes to see it destroyed like that was very difficult peter abandoned towns made the most dismal impression. three quarters of workers who dug out their one hundred fifty meter tunnel under the reactor died
8:34 am
before turning forty six hundred solids from the toxic and brigade were exposed to strong radiation were those human sacrifices really necessary. i'm not familiar with the statistics as for helicopter parts of miners there aspersion i was with the missile limits of the bridge the standards of the time some were exposed more than others we were trying to stay within limits and avoid overexposure couple where miners were digging a tunnel i visited it myself in the tunnel itself the background radiation was natural strong exposure was outside with the mine cars were taken up to unload together with troops that were bought the site we tend to deactivate an attorney's office 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 and those conditions. were you apprehensive about another possible explosion of us
8:35 am
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 will melt the foundation plates of the reactors main body and go down to the ground so therefore the decision was made to dig that tunnel urgently it's just obvious a cooling system under the foundation plate study. what is to knoebels legacy. some people like for instance academicians legacy who committed suicide chiles later couldn't live with it. as an atomic energy professional was primarily very concerned for the subject of the atomic energy and education 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. yes improper working conditions is a clean energy production in terms of its impact on environment and mankind
8:36 am
therefore as why that energy will be wound down thusly returned to coal furnace is to pull the stations in every building and so on the way you used to be in ninety fifty's and sixty's. for the presidential that's when this your noble catastrophe happened the information on the explosion was publicized late which resulted the loss of many lives those are some practical the same thing happened and fukushima they worked very hard to conceal data on the explosion and to keep it from becoming public can we now believe nuclear that spreads more than i'm sure you know everything about the sheema today with run off a. little. under such circumstances it is impossible to know everything about the every tiny detail and we should believe the information we get to those responsible for this information may also be stealing partially what the lord why country disclose all the facts and make them public and for months inform us of
8:37 am
facts 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 then the accident itself as why this information should be truthful but well weighed his presentation should be proportionate to real actions electrode circumstances. how can you say that at the moment japan is taken 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 calling the tsunami great destruction is cause and judging from the news secondly facilities responsible for police stations operation had been damaged those were energy supply units in the first place but the reactor itself remained undamaged by the tsunami i got moment it was necessary to post all the efforts of resuming energy supplies to the reactors cooling system of forgery that wasn't done on time and the whole process became protracted and delayed only ten days after the tsunami the japanese started supplying water cooling system from
8:38 am
hoses apart hose barrels that was ineffective and even harmful resuming energy supply and restoring the cooling systems normal operation was the priority task for the liquidators of forty day last time i laid down that the damage would have gone further and 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 asian of the reactors containment and consequently discharges not only bakers or gases radioactive materials but elements of nuclear fuel into the atmosphere for them. to the can put she misses us to has been followed by a barrage of criticism towards nuclear energy should we continue developing eight or better to get it up the energy to be one hundred percent safe of course no human activity can be absolutely safe this kid says any kind of activity including
8:39 am
political and public activities in any society and whatever people do should be considered from the point of view of safety science and technology progresses machines become more advanced and complicated we develop new forms of energy which used to be unknown. and unclear in the past cycle for confound scientific research and measures in the stages of development design and construction we can live with it and we should trust that. looking back what we have done differently twenty five. could have been done differently it's hard for me to say today after twenty five years it will pass and i think that everything that was done at that time was right and rational it was unnecessary to attract so many human resource it's a vast area we could have done the job with fewer people first time we've known what to do and how to do it some decisions of the state commission to carry out
8:40 am
certain works which later turned out to be unnecessary were also superfluous you just mentioned a tunnel for miners there but those were attempts to secure ourselves and worse troubles and they were justified the people who did that heroically did a very big job as wise experts began understanding the degree of hazards they just did the work so carried out at the chernobyl nuclear power station until late june one thousand eight hundred six the 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 as solution was simple difficult but 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 like those one hundred fifty meters away natural circulation pulled
8:41 am
off all that dust and dispersed it through the neighborhood naturally we were breeding in that dust so we had to suppress all that stuff so when the operation was completed a radioactive level at the entire facility dropped four hundred times. that's not only help the liquidates to approach the station ok off the activation a few expenses also enable them to climb on the damaged reactors roof to clear away the radioactive discharges on the top of hooper from the news. i'll sports the situation in chernobyl today i've heard the containment over the full damage power unit is gradually deteriorating what's going on there. first of all this constant engineering observation over the state of his containment senses happiness to parts of the four viewed it that measure tameness destruction this observation is constant as far as i know there hasn't been any significant destruction of the containments ones like any construction facility there are cities and pockets
8:42 am
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 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 more over walls and overhead covers were built around the damage reactor unit what concrete was pumped inside the reactor helicopters dropped metal i think inside the reactor or pumps pumped him with concrete if everything there were some minor cavities with thirty left. over two hundred thousand cubic meters of concrete parking passes the structure of the reactor of the first trial unit required four hundred twenty thousand cubic meters of concrete almost half that amount was pumped into the reactor and that concrete number is resting is solidly reactor and is of original form. thank you very much for they seem to be your welcome.

say. they faced it this is not a prohibition button warning that. the forces should see everybody should support futurist recently they have no idea about the hardships the face. plate wanted to say yeah i'll soon it's in for any army the life of the usaf is the most precious thing in the world. is of self-sacrifice and heroism look to those who understand it
8:45 am
fully but you have to live a. real life stories from world war two most of. the true nine hundred forty five don't. headlights are on our team and it's a day of remembrance for the victims or virtue a noble disaster exactly a quarter of a century on and the safety of nuclear energy sparks of concern one second after the recent crisis of japan's fukushima power plant. italy is the latest issue to joined nato bombardment of colonel gadhafi forces in libya and a month into the operation now experts speculate it was planned long ago including the action of arming the rebels and before any of the. pressure wiki leaks revelations depict britain as a terrorism a breeding ground for bombers trained in london mosques and masterminds are finding

safe paper and the country. kids here with all of your sporting. hello welcome to the sports news thank you for joining me and here are the headlines off the mark with still legend rebels or call us nets his first goal in russia as one g. they were poised against an hour. plus a climbing upset underdog shout out prepared to host my financial united in the champions league semifinal this. gentle touch fixing world champion manny pacquiao releases his first record the week before he started the title fight against shane mosley. first a vocal and brazil world cup winning fullback reverser call us netted his first goal in the russian premier league as he opened from a spot for angie during their cheechoo draw at the number thirty eight year old joint from corinthians last summer and was showing his worth at the back from villa
8:47 am
stages and game but it wasn't until almost an hour into the match really came to life and i was eager some shots given second yellow card it's a boring engine for the kick you can the ball hit his head but the replay shows the referee got it right. and faced a lengthy ban thrown in with officials down tunnel anyway upset cost to slot in his first goal for angie eighty seven of this long career that late last year i released five minutes up the other end alexander accordion showed good control before finding the bottom corner take it one one. engine that they responded the bad one and was getting his toe in the end of the cross and felt a player that's just as angie were thinking they had all three points then i would give a penalty themselves. and got him started in the books. and
8:48 am
he's done the same over anger at home and just to rest to go and she stay six the number. i'm nine and still without a manager asked me if i was a bit sacked last week i know about that situation can sing change but picks me downs on the left is considering also a three million euros a year to coach the national muscovites i had originally talked with former spy and coach he was on call as that is waged on six million euros a season this chicken honks. well after all they actually week six is unaids back on top of the league following their three now whenever training a sets off last i moved off of boston after only the second win in six games so let's look back at the rest of the weekend's action let's go slow for. the a.
8:51 am
i. am. now this tuesday night is the first semifinal in the champions league manchester united travel to the german side shall go for the first leg but without a top scorer dimitar berbatov but old harry has a growing strain and didn't take part in the training sessions with als and serena so wayne rooney and how he had on days are such to me the line for united who are the favorites over this last time they played in the semifinal of this tournament i'll keep that one vial the salt will be playing in the last fourth row records thirteenth time italian much money by form around the trade and chelsea midfielder told michael eight. i think the present there were. enough experience know in europe and i think that is where we should be i think that the expectation from my point of years old and high in regard to the european scene because. you do get
8:52 am
envious of all the clubs we rack up in europe and we try to. we're going to probably if you thought you know what the armageddon is owned by you mentioned. were the pill i really need to. progress quick way to get to that where we're going now you are just. enjoying it so the show just. so it's nice for you when you know you've all seen in a winning team and if you don't know a lot lately. you can keep on doing other stuff circle games if you have to play this decision well in contrast schilder a play and their first appearance in european cup semifinal they struggle domestically this season and are tenth in the wonderfully however new coach ralph rank has revived their fortunes by impressively not top defending champions into milan seven three on aggregate in the previous round. the use of the most
8:53 am
important thing is that we concentrate on our own game we're focused on the way we're supposed to play if you look at the game against we were one behind after forty five seconds it didn't look good in the team dealt with that in a fantastic manner and that's what it's all about and it's never just united on a good host barcelona in the first leg of the other semifinal on wednesday now over in england f.a. cup finalists national city have also been used to the chances of playing in next season's champions league after the late one zero when a black been tightened holdall fourth spot in the premier league started you scored swiftly articling on the fittings to go its first goal for city since he's fourteen million dollars it was back in january when he gives his side of four point cushion to the first place tottenham hotspur but then a nasty and only one point feels the relegation places to four games remaining well this tuesday night but i think a fun isto post second bottom balsam immigrants are they thought of themselves are five points above the relegation zone while walls have the worst away record in the
8:54 am
top flight so when what's the move out of the thoughts. and one more point. i've been saying the man was the. jury for a really. dogmatic about the way it is because he really wants me to do in this very well if we win the last two games. and that's enough because i don't know what's going to bed. and i don't think anybody. i know nobody else knows there's going to be no. now 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 the best of seven series against san antonio led by mike commies fifteen points to a one hundred four points to eighty eight hundred four elsewhere the mavericks defeated the portland trail blazers ninety three agencies in dallas to lead best every three to ever live to fight another day they pulled back their series to three one against oklahoma one hundred four one one victory
8:55 am
a memorable one seed for them this time to record a career high twenty seven points. a rise almost guesswork and things like that you know there's a lot of motion and motion of all these games so you know the big game i live right now so you know i just want to come out and just a strong and that's what we came together. well elsewhere the man in charge of organizing last year's commonwealth games is cheering court this tuesday over claims of corruption so rush comedy was the face of the games organizing committee and he's alleged to have favored a swiss company when buying equipment for timing and scoring events spending thirty one million dollars of government money on the equipment couldn't be bought elsewhere for much less comedies arrest comes a month after two other officials of the organizing committee were held rally a balance on my work used the financial irregularities cost overruns saw the games project ballooned to billions of dollars indian government regrets what has happened. because of the. being proud
8:56 am
and being proud but up in fact it is unfortunate i think it will not happen and what has happened is something that i feel is not. and finally boxing world champion manny pacquiao has added the role of single to his repertoire the eight division world champion has recorded a single ahead of his w b o title i was named mikey as use the acclaim for the veracity of his punches rather than the tender this of his voice but all that could be about to change because she wrote has recorded a version sometimes when we touch songs create a down hill a single will be released on thursday no girl week before pacquiao steps into the ring once more his welterweight title bout the american knows they must pay its. bills for things this person but i'll be back in just under two hours with another update he's going to get.
