time now for some of this week's top stories on our t.v. former general denies charges of genocide in front of the hague tribunal claiming he was just defending his people meanwhile serbia finds that handing him over has done little to speed up the e.u. membership it is hopeful. nato has extended his military campaign in libya and deployed attack helicopters there for the first time this is part of concerns of the alliance is preparing a ground operation in the country. the spread of a deadly e. coli outbreak in europe and of hysteria it's already claimed twenty two lives

mostly in germany and crippled european food markets circulations in spain was the original source of the contamination of his fruit and vegetable exports and further pressure on its struggling economy. the man suspected of shooting dead the journalist anna politkovskaya is officially charged investigators claim they have enough evidence to prove the chechen fugitive pulled the trigger. with another update for you in fifteen minutes from now the meantime feels like natural disasters are getting more ferocious and more frequent to say can be almost impossible to predict deadly tsunamis floods or wildfire but next a prominent german oceanographer tells r.t. what people can do to reduce the risks. it's a cultural thank you very much for speaking to us in artsy today to get almost go state university you're working on

a five million dollar project to establish the tsunami century musky can you please explain how this project works. with oratory for the not assessment of the natural response was thirteen was the we use existing in high level scientific instrumentation models to look at. what happens in nature at the sea storm surges the waves you know invasion i think new thing is that we try to estimate how large the risk years if you're facts the infrastructure people have that is using the existing high level of expertise and packaging into a new direction towards a new student at the local 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 investment at that time and i

knew most of the people and so we could. do a lot of experimental computer runs on the big computers of little girls who women also used but now we wait for our computers to arrive and go into the production runs progress has been greatly offered to newton to work in moscow in russia has been i could sell a dream exciting and i think when i'm talking to my partners to my colleagues over the last two days from the other grounds we all take on the challenge and suggest think about it and we'd like to continue with fast as possible what are the possible obligations office project that you're working on could perhaps help in the future forecasts or even prevents natural disasters and here we look at the russian coastal zone which ranges of the permafrost area for hundreds and more months and something. with officer winterize and it's at sea and storm surges through the black sea to the caspian sea to the us or three where you have to front

. extreme events possible. and if they are they will all affect the coastline because that's where people live whether the ports or the railroads or the roads are tourism this developing and hear directly from and how. will this happen if how long will it be and how much will be the dentist. 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 to clients and dozens of people did you see that coming that's something we do not want to address right now but the need with the evidence was that it was much a long time much too dry the winter was rainy enough the use off water was

very strong usually is a lot of people just need a lot of fresh water and then of course you have this pete area saw the conditions were bad already and then in late winter early spring and when that some fires and it grew out of hand and that's one of the dangers with this risk assessment comes in. how much do we need to be prepared in time fire that not last. 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 as i am very much the ministry of views us the management mr minister they all prepared. the philosophy we tried to bring into this is it's not only

important to react. but to act before things happen and that's something you also you would like to introduce into russia. and then minimise the damage and the reaction of the people that the fire brigades have think that old available but it's better not to call the fire brigade a consistent fire that's just the you know i'm certainly challenged no critics forecasts are still coming to you wouldn't you know i don't think you can for cross you coming out because you come out 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 physics of off the phenomenon tsunamis are way long way from waves that may be generated with critics and there'd be all that is true and it's possible to predict their arrival once we know there's it's generated which is not

always happens and the big. nami on the eleventh of march was a disaster which everybody thought the boat for thirty years was just might be in a different region from 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's must be taken into account and then the preparation this early and fast enough because it takes us through in thirteen years relief cuts in fact the situation is getting worse and worse. many joke about so that your thousand and twelve scenario what is your view is really getting worse this world is so beautiful there would be a man and we might damage it i think that the perception of increasing disasters including that is increasing the cuts catastrophes has sent you with news coverage global news coverage if something happens that will be on alternate screens if you

. watch for examples of earthquakes from long time you see in this highly seismic zone switch on well known there is always a flicker around and sometimes it's in the south pacific sometimes in the mediterranean something 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 to 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 have a prince of the flat overlooking the sea don't know anything and are shopped at least a page how do you think that climate change is connected with natural disasters i wouldn't call it connects and climate change effects for in our particular case

they see live all the storminess and storm patterns the precipitation patents and that's one reason why we in our project in the military also look at the effects with keeping in mind a climate change to naru us what will be this climate of two hundred 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 this is important to movements we try to understand and that is changing under climate change conditions the other effect of climates often impact of climate changes with holes in the number of the growth of a population that and on livelihoods in the coastal zone which might be changing over twenty five years because of the for the reasons how your project is tearing our country since the arctic exploration we are very much for coast. i'd see

the. doctor for scientific reasons because of the permafrost reason region which is changing on the climate change the navios had to be making special efforts to understand what's happening now 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 climate change the nuttall's so there is a direct effect but we will still have to connect with industry connect with the ministries to offer first results how do you present the results on your research just in their thirty's and what response to get from i very very much aware of the general problems and the impact changes in the natural systems might have on their plans and their political ambitions as the communication needs to be

strengthened because we at the moment talk to different languages i kind of 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 are all the politicians all the ministers are so we can. communicate effectively and easily what is your message to the russian president and that is that you are looking into it that you are searching it is a great opportunity first of all it's a great opportunity to say thank you. to having picked this by the russian government of the russian federation having picked this venue or. outside as bringing their expertise and a lot of. experience into this in the form of all of us then trying to connect with the international community to raise scientific standards a competitor from the russian side and then of course it's going to import the. as

an interim president how we did what. visions and also mentioned what all the problems are because it's very good and now definite your problems normally could not hide in a transition this frost last summer through this summer. in the universities in the ministers at every level there are people that you can pick convinced to move russia has the same problem as all the countries because the big part of the russian problem is that russia so huge so you face problems on the coast you can put a face problems in the cold you face problems in the warm black sea and you face problems in the. small everything so you have a little bit of everything everywhere. and then the communication and then i think also very important is that for these last this is the regional ownership so if something happens in the far east or saudi arabia i have sometimes the impression

is very far away from moscow and that sense it's part of oh if you're patient or charge to make sure that these things happen in the region but affect the large community and the extent and not know bordeaux's which is in the case enough in our case to get data from other countries in the case of response to the us to participate in it and the other countries help or as russia does in japan help so this is things that need to go on and i thought the question of the well take take well but thanks very much for a time. in one thousand nine hundred two dr ralph minster at university of pennsylvania said what if i can take the gene responsible for growth in human beings and put it into knots. on all the main reason.

issues here is that ninety five percent of all competent scientists in these fields are verkin for the produces side and only five percent of. the genuine the independent. there is not a lot of science that says crane genic fish is unhealthy for people to consume which is what the food and drug administration looks at there is a lot of concern about the environmental impacts if a transgendered 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 throughout the world we vote 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.

fixed for him. if. if. he. this week's top stories on our t.v. former general right coming out it denies charges of genocide in front of the hague tribunal claiming he was just defending his people meanwhile serbia finds that handing him over has done little to speed up the e.u. membership it hopes for. nato has extended its going to treat campaign in libya and deployed attack helicopters there for the first time this is called concerns that the alliance is preparing a ground operation in the country. plus the spread of a deadly e. coli outbreak in europe and the fierce styria it's already claimed twenty two lives mostly in germany and crippled european food markets false accusations that strain was the original source of the contamination of its fruit and vegetable exports and

polled further pressure on its struggling because. the most spoke to the shooting dead journalist anna politkovskaya is officially charged investigators claim they have enough evidence to prove the church and fugitive pulled the trigger. but those are the headlines stay with r.t. i'll be back with more news for me in less than fifteen minutes from now in the meantime kate is next with the sport. hello welcome to the sports news on this french open final day and these other top stories six of the best rough on the dollar aims to equal beyond bored record of six french titles as he takes on arch rival roger federer in the scintillating paris final. last patric hero run partner trying to get three as russia come back to beat armenia we want the european qualifiers. and wembley wobble england's come

from two goals down to scrape two two draw against what still and it's still top group the. first of tennis and one of the biggest rivalries of the open era is under way in gripping style at roland garros as defending champion rafael nadal is taking on also roger federer in the french open final for the fourth time and rinsing the all sets there's always a week will be on board record of six hundred crowns and retain his world number one ranking from zero got a truck which better is actually seventeenth grand slam title and first since history it opened last year and it was the swiss who started it in theory a sprawling racing to a five to lead but nidal moved up a gear winning six games in a row to take the first set seven five in the in the second then several fought back and managed to level and neck in neck saturday breaks encounter breaks the last on a tie break as the spaniards took control isn't much but the pair again exchanged breaks in the third and fourth better in a decisive break and held serve to take it seven five and force all set.

well in the women's game and ali 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 li health and earth to take a comfortable six sport forcing leave just over an hour but looking back it's the way back thirty italians took the next three games to propel herself into a set. that lady however said after that and scared and completely crumbled in the tirade and saving it loved it so much now ali fell flat on her back to celebrate the start victory status in action her and transfer nine year old time to real world rankings on monday. football now and the euro two thousand and twelve qualifiers where among other changes the tricks all russia come from behind means armenia three one in some cases victory and a five month win a straight thirty. and keep the level on points with ireland and slovakia at the

top of group a and robert onion reports which it believe this was the fifth time to address the stadium had played host for the russian national team on 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 is a task just a few minutes in europe much the elegantly dribble through the home side defense but failed to find the net. despite a passionate supporter of the twenty two thousand crowd he took the whole sea world to wake up in create their first goal scoring opportunities although those chances always sit. in it was a mere hopeful point after twenty five minutes marcus but still in living here defers the gold rush had ever considered on the petrovsky peach. however the

visitors lead lost to less than sixty seconds for a month or regent of finishing his teammates efforts in style to make it one one however this wouldn't be enough to satisfy the hosts desperately needed a first win of the year and were keen to finish the job in the second half and it was the unmarked of him striker who gave russia the lead. turning a good essential elegant look into gold q one digital hylander surf used to give up but the vision the was destined to become the hero of the day after seventy two minutes chelsea wingert usual golf was all work in the visitors books and polygenic a clinical wrapped up his head treat from the pelvis what country one was the final score. in is the goal you wouldn't expect them to open the score with their descent

team and scored a counterattack i think it was for the better for us as we fought back learned more the media have many young physically strong players but we desperately needed this when we're talking the group and we just had to in these going to get. rushes 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 boys all coins for russia or no heading to austria she does them selves in a friendly against cameron right over the known r t st biz board. and the result means russia staying contention at the top of group a time because men did briefly to sleep after their victory but they were lead from the republican lens for once in a last of their need a few hours later. also kept up their qualification allegations by beating on dora one nil so this is how the table looks and all that is left holland are at the summit i'm young goal scored head of russia that's

a vacuum that all of the thirteen points that is armenia followed by macedonia dura i get this often not only the top teams from each group are guaranteed a place in the finals along with the best run up overall does the rest of the same special seconds for entering a playoff. i mean want england spain from two goals down to snatch at sea to draw with switzerland probably goalkeeper joe hart was caught napping on free kick from funkier but that's the ball basing everyone and since its way into the net. stick it to its head offices for two minutes and three minutes later there is more of the same bonus a story again this time the post about england swiftly pulled themselves back into the match jack wilshere was found in the box as. frank passed through the spot then soon after the break in one frame there requires that leighton baines starting up action young found the bottom corner and those are lackluster performance when they could get back to those three points twenty studio young mazie run and strike could only be carried by the keeper but somehow darren bent

managed to miss and i can go to two is how it finished. so disappointing outing bringin however they stay top of group g. off the montenegro squandered their chance to overtake believe they had false baseball garia and with a more aggressive struggle see their chances before putting a television fine ball even though nothing like that of the fifty three minutes but the hosts let their lead slip was even top of its examples cross into the closet thirty minutes later bury it salvaging a one one draw to ensure montenegro stay seconds. and is greece of group f. after a three one win over most of their of points above croatia around twelve points along with israel to be that it's who won. and there's a three way tie at the top of group h. norway one their own which means both things are on ten points along with denmark we want to know in iceland. so that's where it has to frankly said been taking

place across the globe with australia stretching neighbors new zealand stream that moves and josh kennedy getting the brace on his return after eight months away tackle first making good use of a goalkeeping blunder just nine minutes in for a thumping second half header from the corner pouring rain the adelaide oval. tracy completed the scoring with a stoppage time spot for a free meal to the socceroos bragging rights over the rights. imagine g.p. former champion k.c. star now has changed his third win in five races with victory at the council on grown pre the australians second straight victory the pressure of breaking world champion four day runs out came in second however the spot it is still seven points in the overall standings and teammate in species was the first you finish of the season he finished ahead of multiple champion valentino rossi has yet to win season after you can see a battle of marco simoncelli starting from pole but the sixth place after the great
