this week's top stories now for you here on the former general coming of age tonight charges of genocide in front of the hague tribunal claiming he was just defending his people the most funds of handing him over has done little to speed up the e.u. membership it is hopeful. nato has extended its military campaign in libya and the port attack helicopters there for the first time this is small concerns of the a month is preparing a ground operation in the country. plus the spread of a deadly e. coli outbreak in europe kind of hysteria that's already claimed twenty two lives

mostly in germany and crippled european food look it's all speculation is that spain was the original source of the contamination that hit its fruit and vegetable exports and called for further pressure on its struggling economy. and the man suspected of shooting dead journalist anna politkovskaya is officially charged investigators claim they have enough evidence to prove the chechen fugitive pulled the trigger. feels not natural disasters are getting more ferocious and more frequent scientists say can be almost impossible to predict deadly tsunamis floods or wild thought was when up next here a nazi a prominent german oceanographer tells us what people can do to reduce the risks that's our interview next on nazi. it's a cultural thank you very much for speaking so they are together almost no state university you're working in a five million dollar project to establish that's

a non-essential minister can you please explain how this project works. the moratorium for them that assessment of financial risk for possible student was that we use existing high level scientific instrumentation models to look at. what happens in nature at the sea storm surges the waves you know invasion of the new thing is that we try to estimate how large the risk years which infects the infrastructure people and that is using the existing high level. thanks to jeeves and packaging into a new direction towards mr you've got 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 but i knew most of the people and so we could. do

a lot of experimental computer runs on the computer from the office through most of it is the but now we wait for our computers to arrive and going through the production runs progress has been great the opportunity to work to moscow and russia has been affected selling generics i think and i think with some talking to my partners to my colleagues over the last two days from the other grounds that we all take on the challenge and suggested about it and we'd like to continue with fast as possible what are the possible up locations 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 fungus and to the more months we simply. just burke with officer winter ice and it's at sea and storm surges through the black sea to the caspian sea from the us or c.

where you have to friend. extreme events possible. and if they are they will all affect the coastline because that's where people live that the ports are the railroads or the roads or tourism for this developing and here is the direct incessant how. when will this happening how large will be and how much will be the demolition so in planning for the governments of the authorities you can advise them how much the protection how much the preparation it's not about what happened in russia last samurai we witnessed a number of wildfires that took lives are dozens of people do you see that coming that's something we do not want to address right now but need with the evidence was that it was much for a long time much to glide in the winter was not enough the use of water was

very strong usually use a lot of people to the level of fresh water and then of course you have this pita area so all the conditions were bad already often in late winter early spring and when that some fire started to go out of him and that's one of the dangers which where this risk assessment comes in. how much do we need to be prepared in time for our debt 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 good is us the management mr minister 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 and you would like to introduce into russia you prepare and then minimize the damage and the reaction of the people that the fire brigades ever think of that old available but it's better not to call the fire brigade a consistent fire that's pretty. simple each villages can now predict forecasts around seventy would not know i don't think you can for cross tsunamis and come not because you cannot for costs. if that will ever happen it will be a great benefit to society i don't think anybody of us will see that because of the physical physics of off the phenomenal tsunamis long motion 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 not always happens and the

big japan tsunami on the eleventh of march was a disaster which everybody thought about for thirty years it was just might be in a different region some of the preparation but not enough it's a wonderful example of preparation must be 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 early and fast enough because it takes a certain thirteen main belief that it's in fact the situation is getting worse and worse. many joke about so that you thousand and twelve scenarios 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 in conventions increasing the cuts catastrophes has some to with news coverage global news coverage if something happens it will be on the whole to lose screens if you.

watch for example of from a long time you see in this highly seismic zone so much i well known there is always a flicker around and sometimes it's in the south pacific something in the 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 has 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 shocked at risk a danger how do you think climate change is connected with natural disasters i wouldn't call it connects and climate change effects are for in our particular case

the sea level of the storm in a storm of precipitation patterns and that's one reason why we in our project in the military also look at the effects with keeping in mind the climate science and now realists what will be this climate idea that gives and run what then will change in the extreme events but the relation is there will always be extreme events the free ones the pet and where and when and how much will change this is important to know which we try to understand and that is changing on the climate change conditions the other effect of climate impact of climate changes will cause the number of the complete growth of the population to spend on livelihoods in the coastal zone which might be changing over twenty five years because of the reasons how your project is tearing our country since there are six persons we are very much for coast. dr q.

for scientific reasons because of the permafrost reason the region which is changing on the climate change snarls 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 deniers 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 of your research just in 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 their political ambitions the communication needs to be strengthened because we at the moment talk to for going with us 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 or the politicians or the ministries are so we can. communicate effectively and easily and what is your message to the russian presidents and that is that you are looking at 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 off outside as bringing their 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 of competitiveness of the russian side and then of course it's going to import the prison. as an interim president.

and also mention what all the problems are because this is very definitely problems no you cannot have in a transition this frost lost so much of this. in the universities in the ministers at every level there are people that you can become good to move russia has the same problem as all the countries because the big part of the russian problems with russia so huge 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 high. places you know everything so you have a little bit of everything everywhere. and then communication and then i think also very important is before these last this is the 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 all if you creational charge to make sure that these things happen in the region but affect the noche community to the extent and you know bordeaux's which is in the case often in our case to get data from other countries in the case of response to. participate in it on the other countries' help or as russia does in japan help so this is things that need to do and i think question of the well take take well but thanks very much for it's time. for the. we've got. the biggest issues get the human voice seems to face with the news makers. in one thousand nine hundred two dr ralph been stripped university of

pennsylvania said what if i can take the gene responsible for growth in human beings and put it into a mouse. drawn all the main risk issues that is that ninety five percent of all competent scientists in these fields are working for the producer side and only five percent are really genuinely independent. there is 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 at 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 populations 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've got 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. this rates top stories at all for what general recommend its denies charges of genocide in front of the hague tribunal claiming he was just defending his people. funds handing him over a little to speed up the e.u. membership it had hoped for. nato has extended its military campaign in libya and deployed attack helicopters there for the first time was a spark concerns that the alliance is preparing a ground operation in the country. plus the spread of a deadly e. coli outbreak in europe of hysteria it's already claimed twenty two lives mostly in germany and crippled european food markets second nations of spain was the original source of the contamination. it's fruit vegetable explodes we polled the pressure

with the final school to give him his above you wouldn't expect them to open the score but they have a descent team and scored in the counter-attack i think it was for the better for us as we fought back learning more that all media have many young physically strong players and what we desperately needed this were enough we're talking the group and we just had to in these pointed at. russia 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 russia quanell heading to all strip doesn't selves in a friendly against cameroon right over to our team centers board. and that result means russia stay in contention at the top of group they did have because men typically think top the great bulk of that victory they will need for which public of august. until now in macedonia a few hours later glasgow back you also kept up there was the case nominations are legion and the road one so this is how the table looks has four games left ireland
