production psychology through since its first reactor well the history of the nuclear age goes back more than a half century and enormous changes have taken place in that period of time i think the remarkable thing about the history of nuclear energy is how safe it has been almost from the very beginning. when we go back and see the first reactors experimentally being built in the one nine hundred fifty s. we're looking at a very very new technology and now we've had some bumps along the way that is force for sure we had three mile island in america we had chernobyl in ukraine we just had fukushima. but there i think the remarkable thing about this technology which is producing so much of the world's electricity is how essentially safe it has been get and been it does not emit any emissions into the into the global atmosphere and it has only on very very rare occasion and harmed anyone and meanwhile we had thousands hundreds of thousands even millions of fatalities from the extraction of

fossil fuels from the surface of the earth and from the health consequences of carbon emissions so if you look at the history of nuclear technology you not only see a very safe technology but you also see a relatively superior technology because it is essentially emissions free callus always wondering who pays for storing the waste and how can a dangerous or be profitable when you have to pay for storing away for thousands of years you know that me the question of waste is i think the most fundamentally misunderstood aspect of nuclear energy most people say well nuclear energy might be ok seems to be pretty safe but you don't know what to do with the waste let me say something that may shock you the greatest comparative assets of nuclear power is its waste now why is this. in other major energy forms whether it be coal or natural gas or oil what you find is that the atmosphere the global

public atmosphere is being used as an enormous planetary waste dump all of those carbon particulate all of that carbon monoxide all of that carbon dioxide is going in there right now we are admitting carbon dioxide at the rate of thirty billion tons a year which is eight hundred tons were sucked into the planetary atmosphere as an atmosphere of very strong nuclear energy is producing a considerable proportion of the world's electricity one six well producing an amount of radioactive waste that sequent to the size of the fuel which becomes highly radioactive and then must be safely stored but the wonder of nuclear technology is that it can be managed it can be contained there is a relatively small amount of it and it can be very very safely stored in the immediate term when it comes out of the reactor and it can eventually be put in long term storage containers placed back into the earth in the geological

repositories that are carefully selected and without any ultimate harm either to people or the environment how you sound like and grassroots environmentalist threats or job right now how would you characterize it i think when building the credibility of the nuclear power industry well there are a lot of people think it's the greens versus nuclear and in fact in many green organizations anti-nuclear is a misnomer of the fundamental principles i'm in the nuclear power business precisely because i believe in the entire environmental virtues of nuclear power i got into this business when president clinton assigned me to be the his ambassador to the united nations organizations that deal with nuclear energy and i was particularly concerned and focused on the question of nuclear proliferation and containing that and i did that work. for president clinton for eight years but in the process i got a real education about the positive side of nuclear the the electricity generation

that nuclear could bring to the world without environmental consequences and it was on that basis that i decided to dedicate dedicate the remainder of my career to promoting this clean energy technology the time with natural gas why why i need clear energies test natural gas well natural gas produces a lot of waste it produces carbon dioxide emissions on a very very large scale these emissions come out of the burning of the natural gas and they come out in even more potent form they come out of the transmission of natural gas through long pipelines where the unburned gas leaks in small quantity but in the form of methane that is twenty times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide so the combination of burning natural gas and the leakage of under natural gas that comes through the transmission lines makes this a very very serious liability for in terms of global greenhouse gas concentrations

and you know that but europe sat powerhouse germany a solvent sustainable economy disagrees with you they want the knicks out of their country and ali that i spoke to asking for a minister recently in very skinny proud and happy to be nuclear free. and you sat back it's actually again both we said it was undemocratic how so i was saying it was a sad it was in its sad result of democratic politics responding instantly and irrationally to some event halfway around the world to change the basic energy policy of europe's largest industrial economy it was certainly done according to democratic procedures but these democratic procedures produced as democracy sometimes does a highly irrational result i'm an american i know that irrationality can come out of our political system i've seen it many times in my life and american do not. you see democracy does not produce great results and sometimes it produces silly results and we've just seen one end in germany. by focusing on what happened there

and he said you keep telling me that it's all safe i don't keep telling you that it's all safe there was an accident look what happened i mean how can how can that nuclear power be the future when it's still so incredibly dangerous for life well it's interesting that you would say that because we've just seen twenty four thousand japanese citizens killed by an earthquake and a tsunami. we've seen the needy you have a frenzy in covering the accident at fukushima which has not made it had not been responsible for a single radiation fatality we have twenty four thousand citizens having died from the earthquake and a tsunami we've had a mishap a serious mishap at the fukushima power plant that has yet to produce a single fatality and yet people are using the word the phrase nuclear disaster nuclear tragedy as something terribly harmful has occurred i'm in the at the beginning of the of the line when it comes to being unhappy about what happened at

fukushima i think it was a tragedy in terms of the world's understanding of the essential safety of nuclear power i also think however that it might also be educational in the long term because people have begun to focus on them as they begin to begin to focus even more clearly on the ultimate consequences of fukushima they will learn that there was relatively little damage done by this event and this was a worst case nuclear event after focusing on he said we need to go back and look at my there those posts shut down cooling systems can survive the worst case events we can imagine but if you mean by go back the japanese made a mistake. the fundamental mistake they made was deciding that the worst tsunami they might encounter would come at a certain height and that would be the worst case to nami that they would encounter and if they defended against that there are backup cooling systems would be safe that was a mistake because they misjudged and the result was that they did not have waterproof

backup cooling systems and because they did not have waterproof backup cooling systems those were flooded and rendered an operative now if not why is this important how did this happen you have to think of nuclear energy as the equivalent of a racehorse that finishes running a race and then needs a cool down period reactors at fukushima when the earthquake began shutdown they became essentially helpless on purpose but they still needed some exteriors some external we supplied electricity supply to power cooling systems that would get them down from five percent of their overall heat level they've been at one hundred percent they were already down to five they needed some extra cooling to get down to normal atmospheric and ambient temperatures all nuclear power plants require that outside assistance after they have shut down and the japanese mistake resulted

in those outside non-nuclear systems not being available so the great irony of what happened at fukushima is that it was the failure of non-nuclear support systems to be available after the shutdown that resulted in this meltdown really doing everything that they think they are operators tell you i don't have to believe it we operate a system of tremendous transparency we have i.a.e.a. standards that are enforced by national nuclear regulatory about bodies all around the world which are independent bodies completely separate from the operators we have a world wide net. the work of nuclear operators who visit each other's power plants and write reports and analysis and criticism of each other so that they are all working to come up with the same standard of best practice there was a great deal of conversation and specs and analysis application of standards judgement about whether people are adhering to standards that is going on on

a daily basis throughout all of the four hundred thirty five power plants in the world the problem of fukushima was that they made a mistake and reactor design not in reactor operations but in reactor design and what happened to happen now is that every nuclear regulatory authority in the world needs to go back and ask the question are all of the reactors under my supervision and protected against worst case natural catastrophes like floods like tsunamis like earthquakes like plane crashes and that post questions are being asked right now i think they will result in some changes i don't think the changes are going to be terribly expensive i don't think they're going to take a long time to implement and i think that the the good of this is that with the world will have drawn a lesson from fukushima a nuclear safety will be even stronger in the aftermath thank you very much for this and shame.

spending the year in iraq is a military journalist. and we still. think there's wasting time tryna get killed. leave. the place. twenty seven days to the site. when you feel invited to make the home leave spaces people started the beat of a dialogue just. choosing the soldiers when to sleep seems has.

leave to. see. the headlines ought to be honest shining a light on the web of international terror a crush of publishes a declassified list of people and groups it says a financing extremism in the north caucasus from the eurozone was took a ton of the work starts portables that gets downgraded to junk. status of panic spreading of the way it will all end. and germany is reportedly planning to sell two hundred battle tanks to saudi arabia and it moves in human rights concerns on condemned by opposition politicians as illegal. in japan approves a second it disaster recovery but your devastated communities called out for more

psychological support amid fears growing over radiation levels in the area around fukushima. was the main headlines here nancy do stay with us though kate is here with the latest supporting us. well i would thank you for joining me for this one say often in sports news these two is. double swipe spartak moscow splashback thirteen million euros on moroccan inductions national least that stuff when you season. last decision day three come first been to host the twenty eighth in the winter olympics are sexy discover their place as where the favorites. and hot seat are suspended football chief mohamed bin hammam will face feed this up next committee over allegations of corruption.

first to start with a new spot at moscow had made a second signing in the space of twenty four hours were up at midfield that made it a lot has drawn from belgian side stand of the seven million euros and follows on from the signing of dutch midfielder david is a from my x. cause i love you so much twenty two last week scored eighteen goals in eighty two games the belgian boerma left inside two appearances for the belgian twenty one side before opting to play for the moroccan nationalising last year spot so i could be looking to be there for them to build a resilient was injured at the start of the season. casillas deal comes just a few hours after another and it is a great story my x. six million viewers a playmaker was part of the netherlands world cup squad in south africa a long side former tonight arey it's a used to play together is it out now or they won the dutch late in two thousand and nine swats like to hope they can rekindle that winning partnership last into the seventies in the russian premier league after winning seven and losing six of

the opening sixteen games. meanwhile in the women's world cup hosts germany and england's top their groups will play japan and france respectively in the quarter finals germinal touch their one hundred percent record at the top of the table almost. when i thought i was spending that's just thinking yes. and you can bring this net and another for the germans would like. the french to the backbone through a lot deli right after sixty five minutes they had to pack their own suckage sent off. so i can see. if i bring grass didn't make things interesting i got back to the retreat from your leisure oh sure but then the baby supper is german ad i call it the death so fourteen genocide ended by japan last night us the japanese lost to me also in reading group b. allen was open to the story lines often fifteen minutes it's going to. sixty

six minutes but i can substitute better and selling. ask you to us saying is the ball a feature says mohammed bin hammam will face their ethics committee on july the twenty second to answer allegations of bribery journey his election campaign to attempt to become president of football's world governing body this is branded asian football confederation president has been sent to report by fee for investigators and has been asked to respond its claim time and try to offer caribbean thoughtful chiefs cash in return for their votes and caribbean football union employees devin girl and jason sylvester will also appear before the hearing allegations against a fee for vice president jack warner were dropped when he resigned from all football activities. well meanwhile the evas reelected president sepp blatter says football's governing body will continue to invest in africa as well as held

a closed door talks with zimbabwean president robert mugabe runs that we are trying here i think it's the first time that has returned to south africa since last year's world cup he also visited a local women's football match as well as construction sites for new pictures and said the first pledge to invest seventy million dollars in african football still holds. to. inside the people in the executive committee there were people in our executive committee saying. again the gives all to africa to africa by the way we give also it will be orders a little bit less but deceptive the billions they went to africa. now are to be one of the bulls biggest rivalries some substantial backing has been thrown behind cristiana rinaldo as well as got hold of justice says he rates as well the three teammates better than barcelona's the players a year lee and i must say the ray allen spain goalkeeper is in beijing for promotional and charity reasons and he will donate items for an auction for holding

the football and in the chinese capital israel prepare to match to all of the asian nation next month because this is likely to retain the captaincy for that trip and beyond after he reportedly has questions a marina is planning to strip him of the role he was so crowded vocal support for now though which however comes as no surprise. to those of us choosing between measure and christian or an elder i would say i will go for shall not a few not only my teammate but all sort of friend i have to meet the character of both the best footballers in the world and their bill for ambitious and given all their effort to play football for themselves and for their respective teams but anyway among the two best players i would choose christian no more is. now the city which will host the twenty eighteen winter olympics will be announced as wednesday with south korea's pm trying instead of the slight favorite after losing out to see vancouver and then sochi in previous rounds there's a national olympic committee is set to make the announcement in durban in south

africa the south korean but it has done its best to not be last minute support and is promoting the country. as a place where people can enjoy winter sports the other cities in the hat for the twenty eighteen games are munich in germany and annecy in france the three cities are also making final presentations the i.o.c. for the winner is announced just a few hours time. but sports now and twice told me one champion fernando alonso is upbeat ahead of what could prove to be the litmus test for his ferrari team as the spaniard hopes for a good outing of the british grand prix this weekend the italian has recovered in the last three races scoring a bumpy start to the season but they are hard at the favorites it's ariston as eight of the competing teams are based in england from two thousand is great ball and socket placement fire and in addition alonso and his brazilian teammate philippe massa produced a miserable result last year and fourteenth and fifteenth respectively which was for obvious worst performance of the thirty years i was alone so who is ninety nine

points behind overall leader sebastian vettel into trouble this time not. just from this not. try to influence of. characteristics of the circlip and i think there will be good to know what we can do and we need to make sure that we need to be prepared for any circumstances it would come brain. change from this inner circle and we need to be very poor because production i think here we are but in some some new parts for the cards or we had hoped i would perform offensive the. relations between a stone ians and russians living in a stone you have been strained over the last decade however one man has come up with another way to get the two communities interacting again through rugby which a pump or fruit has more. than. you would hear you

soon you russian in this speech and below down by this man jens. major in the british. he's been living in china in for the last twenty years has been trying to introduce the news. of this page again should we said the. drivers of the sports skills club where we now get a stone in a russian school show with three balls three different ballgame. this year's a. hopefully next year we'll continue some of the moon part of this project is to try and get the russians in the stone humans playing together or something which unfortunately is an all too rare occurrence unless you get children between nine and eleven meeting each other regularly not one single year every week it's not going to happen when i was one of seven

hundred eighty eight this go for the first try obviously. there's going to be here silliness so you must get. another important side of the project is to try and teach your children the dangers of drinking and taking drugs in two thousand and nine a staggering one point two percent of the sunni population or one loon every three thousand people are confronted each id however by getting the children involved in sports john believes he's getting the kids something to believe in keep them occupied while they've been a number of success stories over the last few years but over the last fifteen years we've got over forty boys and girls at universities in your. city had imbra there so you know that is suppressed success is not about great rugby. you know we use rugby is a bit of a hul people develop into one boy who is looking to follow in their footsteps as

young as twelve he said frankly russia it's big screw interesting union goes to new stony language school he's only started to play rugby over the past couple of weeks but he says he really enjoys it as you keep saying something to do during his pretty months of summer holidays. well because mallory game is not a girlie is like to call a punter this simple yourselves improvement has been so quick he's already been named captain at a time in tiger's touch rugby team however the boys could have a peach treat in store for them in the autumn kiln is trying to organize the tours of the rugby heartland of england to play some nights in gloucester no less the biggest turn of speech kids will gain be interaction between their perspective communities which will hopefully lead to a student and russian children playing peacefully together richard don't she turned in. and let's finish with this thing if this is one of the new unveiled yachts to

take part in the fast approaching volvo ocean race the latest model how that sort of come into being is team abu dhabi's enter into the wells on this race the around the globe regards that is kicking off in less than four months on october the twenty ninth seven crews are taking past this time last time it's on six continents before completing the race on july the seventh i would say but you walk or has waited for more than a year for the new york to been designed it was not proud of the full can spreading its wings is the national symbol of the mountain. and that's the news from sports desk i think.
