8:05 am
a lack of trust was in danger of forging a wedge between russia and the other permanent members of the u.n. security council and that's because of the way the c's nato is implementing you agreed un resolution number one mind seventy three that was their votes going back in march when russia abstained and that allows a no fly zone to see implemented over the libya however russia now but these days actions in libya go beyond that maybe implementing a no fly zone and in fact now we're on regime change and allegedly to be supporting the opposition that. willing of trust that rough today suggested only escalated following the very recent visit us about african president jacob zuma to tripoli seemed to control on the go say with colonel gadhafi a visit which was then almost immediately followed by a resumption in they say strikes and today lavrov the battle growing a lack of trust could cause rostering the thing to course i think twice before
8:06 am
agreeing to any such resolution again. shia to close the connection everybody involved in the implementation of the resolution must show maximum responsibility before international law and the united nations keeping in mind the authority of the u.n. security council otherwise god forbid next time anything of the sort of happens we will act differently because no one will take what's being said at face value things like creating a no fly zone and thats it. these statements of course come in the wake of a very recent u.n. report tweets that i said it's a good broach the trust the tease that being committed in maybe on the both sides i'll be it's less numerous all the possible position and of course it comes very shortly after last weekend's g eight when the president made good to reach a sense very over most of them boys stooping to attempts to the case existence by.
8:07 am
going by talking about any further resolutions foreign minister was also very clear that i mean speaking about syria what do you have to say about the situation there . but on syria minister lavrov reiterates it's moscow's position that they are staunchly against any attempts by the international community to force regime change within the country warning that any such change could destabilize the country and would be catastrophic for the region however rough did say that russia still still supports president asked to continue to school and the kids stay within the old position within his own that country i don't so encouraging president assad to move swiftly and implements in the reforms that he's promised to do within syria alex hamburg live from the russian foreign ministry reporting on the latest statements coming out of there on the situation in the middle east and north africa thanks rob. well during a visit to rome president russia's president reiterated he wants

8:11 am
already paying more for the electricity will be the rumor will be the people there's no doubt about it around thirty percent of the news electricity comes from nuclear generation so ironically the electricity germany ends up buying will be generated power plants the majority of european countries aren't giving up said the clear programs switzerland is phasing it out but france which has a long and successful history of nuclear power generation sees it as a solution for the future. britain sweden spain and belgium are just some of the over you countries that have nuclear capacity and planning to get rid of it so closing down its own reactors will stop germany's suffering from nuclear fallout in the event of an accident elsewhere in europe but the german green party is aiming high we're planning all europe to be nuclear free at the moment thirteen of twenty
8:12 am
seven nations and european union don't have any nuclear plants so it's a lot to make them get of the time maybe two or three thousand thirty of them everything's free but all of a aiming at the world goal the e.u. wants to generate twenty percent of it electricity using when you buy twenty twenty and also to reduce carbon emissions nuclear power was a good way of bringing emissions down but germany will be to go back to its coal fired power stations to make up the shortfall in terms of climate change germany house. is trying to reduce you to levels and if you switch off nuclear energy as an option and you have to call. which is a lot more polluting in that. respect experts say the biggest price to pay in switching off power is the uncertainty of what will replace it in the short and long terms how we're to affect the gas price what if biofuels grow in popularity
8:13 am
prompting poor communities to grow fuel crops rather than food these are known although one expert said it could cost three trillion euros for the whole of europe to start using green technologies here in the heart of the e.u. there's consternation is such a big decision should be taken unilaterally by germany seemingly as a panicked reaction to the fukushima disaster but the but is europeans are all in this together if there is a nuclear. does it for example that for all germans won't be amusing just because bad also involved nuclear power ready to go and german soulful in supply will mean higher electricity bills all european families not just germans have it to brussels. russia has banned all imports of new vegetables following a deadly outbreak of the call my bacteria is already claimed eighteen lives across
