talk about it with r.t. you are from moscow we are training that we can right now which is a former general a lot of it denies charges of genocide in front of the hague tribunals claiming he was just defending his people meanwhile serbia finds that handing him over has done little to sweep out the e.u. membership it had hoped for. nato has extended its military campaign in libya and deployed attack choppers there for the first time and this is the spot that the alliance is preparing a ground operation in the country. plus the spread of

a deadly e. coli outbreak in europe and the spread of hysteria has claimed at least nineteen lives mostly in germany and crippled european fruit markets full seconds ations that spain was the original source of the contamination has had its fruit and vegetable exports fall further pressure on a struggling economy. and the man is suspected of shooting it dead journalist anna politkovskaya is officially charged investigators claim they have enough evidence to prove the chechen fugitive called the trick. up to date here on r.t. now it feels like natural disasters are getting more ferocious and even more frequent scientists say it can be almost impossible to predict deadly tsunamis floods or wildfires but up next a prominent russian ocean or credit tells us hear it out see how people can try and reduce the risks. mr cultural thank you very much for speaking to us an artsy today at the ghetto

moscow state university you're working on a five million dollar project to establish some nonessential must or can you please explain how this project works at the. moratorium for that assessment and actual risk reports mistaken is that we use existing high level scientific instrumentation models to look at. what happens in nature at the sea storm surges waves you know indication at the new thing is that we try to estimate how large the risk years which affects the infrastructure people and that is using the existing high level of expertise and packaging into a new direction towards a new student up of the relevant population from a distance of the question from the general society we. had the progress has been very good we started because we didn't have so much investments at that time but i

knew most of the people and so we could. do a lot of experimental computer runs on the big computers and from the office and women also confused but now we wait for our computers to arrive and go into the production runs progress is being greatly open to new to work in moscow and russia has been a good fella doing exciting and i think with some talking to my palate most of my colleagues over the last days from the other grounds that we all take on the challenge we have and some just think about it and we like from continuous faustus possible what are the possible up locations of this project that you're working on could perhaps help in the future forecasts or even prevents natural disasters and here we look at what the russian coastal zone which ranges from the permafrost area for a hundred more months i'm going to. just work with officer winter ice and this at

sea and storm surges through the black sea to the caspian sea to the us or see where you have to friend. extreme events possible. and if they are they will all affect the coastline because people it's where people live where the ports are where the railroads are the roads are tourism this developing and here is the direct assessment how. when will this happen and how large will it be and how much will be the damage so in planning for the governments or the authorities who can advise them how much the protection how much the preparation needs to be and what about what happened in russia last summer we witnessed a number of wildfires that took lives are dozens of people i just see that coming while the that's something we would want to address right now but it would be

evidence was that it was much for a long time much too dry the winter was not raining enough the use of water was very strong usually is a lot of people need a lot of fresh water and then of course we have the street area so the conditions were bad already after the late winter early spring and when that some fire started it grew out of hand and that's one of the dangers which were this risk assessment comes in. how much and we need to be prepared in time far and they're not now some. five years ago. to minimize the risk to minimize the damage can you predict what's going to happen in the summer watching it i'm not an expert but i'm very much the ministry of view this as a management system in a social they're all prepared. the philosophy we try to bring into this is

it's not only important to react. but to act before things happen and that's something you want to do you would like to do things to russia. and then minimise the damage and the reaction of the people that the fire brigades i think our excellent that old available but it's better not to call the fire brigade because there's no fire service it's just that i'm certainly religious can help predict its forecasts around its own evolution no i don't think you can for cost tsunamis from coming up because the kind of for costs. if that will ever happen it will be of great benefit to society i don't think anybody of us will see that because of the physical the physical things off the phenomenon tsunamis are normal ocean waves that may be generated or with creeks and then the all that is true and

it's possible to predict their arrival once we know there's it's generated which will always happens and the big japan tsunami on the eleventh of march was a disaster which everybody thought the boat for thirty years it was just might be in a different region for the preparation and not enough it's a wonderful example the preparation must be all the assessment must be very thorough and the possibilities of error must be in college that must be taken into account and then the preparation this early and fast enough because it takes on so into fitness may be the facts in fact the situation is getting worse and worse and many joke about say that two thousand and twelve scenarios what is your view is really getting worse this world is so beautiful there will be a magnet we might damage it i think that the perception of increasing disasters and convincing increasing to protest if this has something with news coverage global

news coverage if something happens that will be on all to the screens if you. for examples of earthquakes through long time you see in this highly seismic zone switched on well known there is always a flicker around and sometimes it's in the south pacific something mediterranean south of the caribbean so this will happen everywhere everywhere and people in the region know all this now the problem is that a lot of people come into this regions as work in the tourism industry which are strange to the phenomena in the region and they're of course not excited but also shocked so the people that lived in the region for a long time the old fisherman knew about the dangers of the sea the new coastal habitants of the flat overlooking the sea don't know anything and are shocked at risk the dangers how do you think the climate change is connected with natural

disasters i wouldn't call it connected climate change effects before in our particular case is sea level of the storm eunice stone patterns the precipitation patterns and that's one reason why we in our project in the military also look at the effects with keeping in mind and climate change so now. what will be this climate of twenty or thirty years and one what then will change in the extreme events but the relation is there will always be extreme events and three movements the pattern where and when and how much will change since it's important to know which we try to understand and that is changing under climate change conditions the other effect of climate of the impact of climate changes will cause them the number of people in the growth of the population the spend on livelihoods in the coastal zone which might be changing over twenty thirty years because of different reasons how your project is going our consulates and there are six nations we are very much

for coast. i'd see the. particular for scientific reasons because in permafrost reason region which is changing on the climate change snarls had to be making special efforts to understand what's happening now and what happened in the past and then using computer models what will be the likelihood of extreme events in the near future and on the incentives so there is a direct effect but we will still have to make a connectome of the industry connection of the ministries to offer first results how do you present the results on your researches through their thirty's and what response to get from i very very much aware of the general problems and off the impact changes in the natural systems might have on their plans on

their political conditions the communication needs to be strengthened because at the moment for different languages i cannot talk with the politician with numbers in thirty years' time because that's probably way for him and we have to learn to understand what the real concern of the agencies all the politicians all the ministers are so we can. communicate effectively and easily what is your message to the russian presidents and that is that you are looking until it that you are searching it is a great opportunity for us it was a great opportunity to say thank you. to having picked this by the russian government of the russian federation having picked this venue well. outside bringing the expertise and a lot of. experience into this scheme in the form of orators then trying to connect with international community to raise the scientific

standards and competitiveness of the russian side and then of course it's going to import to be proves it. isn't into the present. what it's all what all the visions and also mention what all the problems are because of this very definite you problems no you cannot and in the transition this frost from lost so much of this. in the universe is in the ministers at every level there are people that need to convinced to move russia has the same problem as all the countries are also there because the bigger part of the russian problem is with russia. through face problems on the coast you. face problems in the cold you pretty face problems in the warm black sea and you face problems in high. school a show snow everything so you have a little bit of everything everywhere. and then the communication and then i think also very important is the competitors for these last and. regional ownership so if

something happens in the far east or so derrida i have sometimes the impression is very far away from moscow and that sense it's part of our educational charge to make sure that these things happen in the region but the effect on launch community to the extent and i'm not going overboard us which is in the case enough in our case to get data from other countries in the case of response to. participate in that and the other countries help or as russia did in japan for help so this is things that need to be done and i thought. well take a take well but thanks very much for your time. in one thousand nine hundred two dr ralph been straight university of pennsylvania

said what if i can take the gene responsible for growth in human beings in. put it into a mouse. drawn on the main risk issues of genetics is ninety five percent of all competent scientists in these fields are working for the produces side and only five percent are really genuinely independent. there's not a lot of science that says train genic this is unhealthy for people to consume which is what the food and drug administration looks that there is a lot of concern about the environmental impacts if the transgenic fish escapes what kind of horrible impact will it have on the rest of the fish population don't know what this might do to us or our children or our children's children in our congress here in the united states or our legislatures rather will be avoid all

these different laws tax laws and corporate laws what could be more important than deciding on the permanent genetic future of life on earth. week's top stories here on r t this is the weekly former general or rather go denies charges of genocide in front of the hague tribunal claiming he was just defending his people meanwhile the serbia finds that turning him over has done that little to speed up the e.u. membership has so hopeful. nato has expanded its military campaign in libya deployed at such helicopters for the first time as a spot and so on so the alliance is preparing a ground operation in the country. plus the spread of a deadly e. coli outbreak in europe the spread of hysteria it's claimed at least nineteen lives mostly in germany and crippled the european food markets false accusations that spain was the original source of

a time when i should have had its fruit and vegetable exports so the pressure on a struggling economy. the man suspected of shooting journalist anna politkovskaya is officially charged first to get his claim they have enough evidence to prove the church in a fugitive called of the truth. or if those are the headlines here in r.t. but up next it is the battle of the biggest boys on the block long time rivals in the doll and federer they're going head to head right now a fourth time they meet at the french open cape partridge and say with all the life details. hello welcome to the sports news on this french open finals and these are the top stories. six of the best rafael nadal aims to it will be on board record of six french open title as he takes on arch rival roger federer in paris. while the

trick here among public anger hits three is russia come back to beat armenia three one of the european qualifiers. and when he waddle england come from two goals down to scrape a two two draw against switzerland but still top of the group the. first to tennis and one of the biggest rivalries of the open era has resumed at roland garros as defending champion rafael nadal is taking on old foe roger federer in the french open final for the fourth time the spanish team to play had the upper hand in all of their previous encounters and the twenty five year old is the favorite for the games to equal bjorn borg record of six parish crowns there also needs to win to retain his world's number one ranking ahead of semifinal is never a joke of it all federer is hoping to end his grand slam drafts with a seventeenth major title after believe his last almost eighteen months ago up this trail you know that it's well in the women's game not least says her triumph could be the start of something big for chinese tennis she became the first asian to win a grand slam after beating francesca schiavone on saturday it was

a seesaw match held the nerve to take it contador six four fourteen lead just over an hour the schiavone passes her way back sturdy italian took the next three games to propel herself into a second set lead however the set went with serve after that since given it completely crumbled in the tie break the secret to the match and olive fell flat on her back to celebrate the story victory and new status matching her and twenty nine year old climb to number four in the world rankings on monday and says the sport expects more from troika in the future. i mean of courage of the. chinese bruno in the grandstand i mean who for china things also. i think maybe china now like so within that many top one pair going up. and i still believe china and so we're getting bigger and bigger and shipley really high level through. the one she was playing really good.

and then. i tried to push more to risk more and she should went down with the level but that's normal and this is all these. i think a day and then we were really close. could be for me the said thought for her. and deserved i think she deserved these final five to lord she played on the great. football now and the euro twenty twelve qualifiers where among public changes have track so russia come from behind to be saw me a three one instant petersburg with a tree and a five month when the straits of the capitals man at the level on points with ireland and sakya at the top of course as robert thought onion reports for which this was the fifth time the stadium had played host for the russian nish no team

won four of those occasions the advocate's men had proved to be the better side. and they had every intention of continuing their winning streak in the european qualifier against armenia. however the visitors promptly showed it would me in these a test. just a few minutes in euro much the same elegantly dribble through the hole inside the fence but failed to find a net. despite the pressure and support of the twenty two thousand crowd he took the house the world to wake up in create their first goal scoring opportunities although those chances or wasted. in a whisper mean a hope opened up the twenty five minutes mark that's been selling nearing here to first gold russia had ever conceded on the patrols to peach. however the visitors lead lost to less than sixty seconds a month religion of finishing his teammates efforts in style to make it one one

however this would mean after city's by the hosts which desperately needed a first win of the year and were keen to finish the job in the second half and it was the unmarked told him striker who gave russia the lead turning a good sum shops elegant lope into gold q one it became clear hylander cerf used to give up but the legion to was destined to become the hero of the day after seventy two minutes chelsea winger usual of course was over in the visitors books. and polygenic a clinical a rest stop he's had three from the pill destroyed and three one he was the final score to hear him is above even the most i wouldn't expect him to open the score but they have a distant team and scored a counter attack i think it was for the better for us as we fought back good morning more the media have many young physically strong players we desperately

needed this we're not we're talking the group and we just had to in these communities. rush is a strong side they are on top of the group and still favorites to qualify for a spot they want today which means they were better three vital points from russia for now heading to austria does themselves in a friendly against cameroon the cupboard party scene is bored. and that result means russia staying contention at the top of group think together because men to briefly topped the group after their victory but they were leapfrog by the republic of ireland to know in macedonia a few hours later. also kept up their qualification ambitions and already one nil so this is how the table looks with four games left ireland are at the summit only on goal scored head of russia and slovakia all of them have thirteen points but it's armenia followed by macedonia and dora are yet to get off the mark only the top teams from each group are guaranteed

a place in the finals along with the best runner up overall and the rest of the team's position second ball into a playoff. for me wanting them came from two goals down to snatch a two two draw with switzerland one day goalkeeper joe hart was caught napping on the free kick from cranking up and that's not the ball reason everyone finds its way into the net that's what's ahead after thirty two minutes than three minutes later there was more of the same want to score again this time they will post that in france with the poor themselves back into the match jack wilshere was found in the box to make the. right passport from this. sobs soon after the break even claimed their equaliser at leighton baines setting up ashley young in the bottom corner it was a lackluster performance from england that they could have bagged in three points with twenty minutes to go young's mazie run and strike only be powered by the keeper but somehow darren bent managed to miss and i didn't go to see this how it

finished. so disappointing out you bring on however they say top of fuji often want to move this one to the transfer to take the lead they host of course baseball very up and with a more aggressive style to their chances before writing a gallon which finally volley to the left with open up after fifty three minutes but the host let their lead slip into the top of it is and cross into the lies of thirteen minutes later gary has salvaging a one one draw to ensure montenegro stay second. and its crease it up grew better after a three one win as a whole side there are points about croatia too and twelve points israel could be like the a two one. ounce there's a three way tie at the top of the group h. portugal beat norway one nil which means space teams are on ten points along with denmark the one to nelson in iceland. and elsewhere is a friend visiting taking place across the globe with australia thrashing made his knees even strained the moment the coach going to be getting

a brace on his wrist and i think it's right to strike the first making good use of a goalkeeper blundell just nine minutes in for a thumping second half header from a port are doing right now the right over. there we see completed the story with a stoppage time spot kick through email to the socceroos bragging rights over the all whites. and measure the former champion casey stone has clinched his third win in five races with victory at the cats lang grand prix history and second straight victory heat pressure on reigning world champion for a runs a second however the spaniard just a seven point clear in the overall standings. it's yamaha team mate in space was his first podium finish of the season and battled marco simoncelli started for pole but cut to settle for sixth place italian great death threats from local fans a controversial crash with danica drove the french girl free last month. and steve stricker remains the leader going into the final day at the memorial tournament in

ohio despite dropping three shots however the american who had fired a whole lot in his second round ended the day on twelve under after carding back to back eagles including this one over one hundred yards in the second hole stricker also signed this twenty five footer birdie during his round of sixty nine but maintained his three shot cushion at the top of the leaderboard while the more luke donald shot a one overpass seventy three to the right eight shots off the lead while justin barber second out of carving a sixty nine shot head much fuchsia and joe. and along with athletics where the americans have dominated the latest diamond league meeting in the united states over david oliver put in the performance of the night he beat two thousand and four olympic champion vision over one hundred ten meters twelve point nine four seconds to set the fastest time in the world the sheer fellow american angelo taylor won the men's four hundred meters ahead of patrick germany warriner south africa's paralympic champion oscar pistorius was lost in the

women's four hundred metres hurdles the russian davis was the first across the line to the line to the crowd possibly leaving behind two jamaican athletes world number one spencer and link the champion melanie morcha and it was more joy for america in the women's one hundred meters carmelita jeter getting one over jamaica rival shelley on fraser in a tight ten point seven seconds south africa's former world champion caster semenya and second one is eight hundred metres and it's unfair to make up on going for the win. and that's all sports even get into our hands. well. the new the latest in science in technology from the ground floor.

we've got the future covered.
