thanks for joining our team and have the past the hour karen terrill chaney's of your headlines the syrian opposition rejects the new international peace plan saying they want president assad to have no part in it and an international deal agreed in geneva has called for free elections with an all inclusive transitional government and may interrupt. you can internet and phone firms are to record data on private e-mail social network activity and telephone calls in the u.k. but there's deep concern over a new government plans to probably into citizens personal affairs.

and fresh calls to try to julian assange for spying are made in washington while the top whistleblower waits for an answer on his asylum bid meanwhile r t prepares to air the final episode of this interview show. next up we're discussing the future of nuclear energy after the fukushima disaster in japan with russia's top nuclear official and our special interview. dank ahead of him the state's nuclear energy corp welcome and thank you for joining us it's been a little over a year or so since to shame a tragedy in japan during this period i have seen quite a few countries give up on nuclear energy for example germany has already closed down eight reactors and is planning to shut them all down by two thousand and

twenty two do you think this marks a fundamental shift in a global nuclear industry a chip was up for you which in one year ago we were pessimistic expecting the number of contracts and the industry in general to reduce by half over the past year the global nuclear energy market has shrunk by as little as ten percent not more what accounts for the reduction is european dynamics germany in particular japan suspension of its nuclear activities in the aftermath of many countries launched a new nuclear programs instead of shrinking the ones they already had this mostly relates to the developing world but for the first time in many years the countries that have issued licenses to build new nuclear facilities include the u.s. which lasted some two decades ago there was also the u.k. which is very conservative and cautious in terms of security they still indorsed a program to build up to twenty nuclear facilities after the fukushima disaster so the global ten percent reduction is not the dramatic and also remember that some

countries have old power plants and in the coming to fifteen years they will need to take them out of production to maintain the nuclear share in the energy balance by twenty thirty they will need to build some three hundred twenty to three hundred fifty reactor units experts say this is a really ambitious plan in fact we expected the markets to shrink by fifty percent last year assuming that as market leaders we would experience a thirty percent downturn but in reality our contracts have doubled the boiler collection is like. the thought of this presence it doesn't mean that the ten percent decrease actually placed into russia's hands but he says because i can't you know i wouldn't put it that way a declining market never fares well for anybody as it increases competition it is total requirements that have played into our hands rather than the ten percent decrease over the last year people have figured out for themselves what happened because she left and they realized that there is no irreparable defect with nuclear energy systems in april the japanese government allowed me to visit the people seem a power plant here is what impressed me most was not before crippled units but

rather the two undamaged ones a few journalists ever mention that fukushima has six reactor four but nothing happened to the other two but what is a vital difference is that the first four units have their emergency diesel generators in the basement or they were simply flooded the generators from units five and six are located above the units are that itself therefore the principal conclusion is that there is a feasible solution however what the fukushima tragedy has told us is that experience is extremely important and so is an opportunity to physically try and test new technical solutions why do you think we are enjoying higher demand even though the market in general has somewhat shrunk customers have lost trust in blueprints for new projects they no longer trust promises of quality they want to make sure it works for us to look that's does indeed play into the hands of russian industries because we are the ones who can offer the silk or toast fukushima solutions for new nuclear power plants this means that the new type of power plants that we either build in russia or offer to our customers are cruel i would have

endured the disaster that hit fukushima in march two thousand and eleven they would have happened to them even if they had to withstand the worst possible earthquake coupled with the worst possible tsunami which even if there had been no person out of the power plant at the time the machinery itself would have ensured absolute safety of a full service office mr bush sometimes says the sickness can progress as he believes that technological progress can ensure that safe nuclear energy what's your reaction to environmental. activist you know so i think originally nuclear energy at the end of it it didn't work at all especially considering it collect nuclear energy is perfectly environmentally friendly much more so than all the other types of power generation such as thermal energy for example in fact it would be more precise to consider nuclear power alternative energy right there with wind power solar energy and hydraulic power engineering at what you does not produce greenhouse gas which is such a period when a nuclear power plant is running normally its impact on the environment equals zero i actually think that all this fuss about the hazards of nuclear energy was our own

philosophy we used to withhold technical information on nuclear power plants and that when there is no reliable information it's lost that's when myths. that were in fact like the japanese without trial and information in fukushima and first days of the tragedy. and i think this was an extraordinary blunder on their part and they're like trying to filter the information they were providing to the world they are still paying a price for this mistake in terms of domestic public opinion because what we have done to address this issue in russia has developed something called an automatic system for radiation monitoring it stands for a network of sensors that are placed around a nuclear facility and they keep track of all the environmental parameters i can transmit their readings to our company. and have installed these systems at every single nuclear facility in russia and two years ago we started displaying these indications on the internet in real to arrive at any of our viewers we access the website right now and look at radiation indicators for any of russia's nuclear power plants are you up to date as well as for any date in the past and that is

what is count everyone down it was there's no way of reading this has to shoot sensors or ceilings and they post their readings on the internet all magically and that's it sean are the myths and the horror stories we're already developing a new generation of technology pursuing the notion of a natural safeties the kind of safety that does not require additional hardware what we need for our nuclear facilities next is a safety system that will be doing its job. even if there is nobody there to push a book even if the personnel failed to take action the system should be designed so as to be safeguarded against any possible malfunction much as all by itself that is a task for a new generation of nuclear power plants that we're currently developing a couple of holes in your mind to suggest a specific it would considering the kind of technical solutions you have just described how would you account for germany's decision to shut down all of its nuclear plants was this a decision driven by political pressure with the fishing from the north and east of ali it was certainly politics i respect the german government's decision because i

see this as a choice made by a sovereign nation and that said we had a roundtable discussion yesterday which was attended by the turkish energy minister mr hill does he has to bring questionings he said his call it if you believe that your nuclear power plants are on say we should you should shut them down right now it's like when you say they are unsafe which you will shut them down after twenty twenty of them were exactly how are you going to get i would hold a mobile nuclear facilities for ten more years and years upon if they are safe enough to last until twenty twenty why shut them down at that point we so rich sure it was politics going to start a fight but if you wait you're saying that germany is to only european countries that's ready to give up next our energy but other countries such as specially the way greece that you're also a new care and energy but you sure you have not to get them started in norway had decided to make a shift towards renewable energy prior to the fukushima disaster but that is only about nuclear energy back in the one nine hundred eighty s. and there's been no recent developments in this regard to therefore to be realistic it is indeed germany who has given up on nuclear energy and that is of course

a serious decision germany is a country that used to get thirty two percent of its electricity from nuclear plants now they've indeed decided to abandon it and that's a fight like japan has also put a freeze on most of its nuclear facilities however last week they decided to end the friendship and they're about to launch their first two reactor units with that in the background thirty one countries have decided whether to go on with developing their nuclear reactor says. tems or even to build nuclear facilities for the first time what we see is strong difference he asia there will be countries actively developing their nuclear energy program like turkey which is planning to build some thirty reactor units china with seventy four units south africa has just decided to build about ten units england is planning to build up to twenty units so each country will make its own decisions as for the russian out there are several aspects but first of all it's about expertise you need to have more knowledge of nuclear energy and you need the technology or you germany for one you can't build

a nuclear power plant anymore if they decided to build one now they'd have to outsource construction to us or the french or the americans or german industries have been out of the business for nearly twenty five years and they have lost so number one is know how secondly it's about whether a country can afford developing renewable energy or shale gas germany is a rich economy they have already estimated the prospective costs of abandoning nuclear energy and they can probably afford it but we also know many governments who say we're not rich enough to finance alternative energy research but lack of access to affordable energy is a major impediment for our economic growth we need to pay wages we need to create jobs and we cannot afford investing in wind energy or solar energy for decades on end of one of the level of rush hour but it shows that in the u.k. and the united states it's private companies that own nuclear facilities this isn't currently the case in russia but president putin in his pre-election manifesto said there were plans to privatise where saturn at the thought of some of you not i mean

let's not forget the bras not only is primarily an element in this country's nuclear defense capabilities i know our policy makers outlook on this issue and i'm sure will never be privatized because some of its industries cater to russia's nuclear arsenal yet such things are not for sale and i think you are there you know what is it that is going to get us to the shop some projects related to the civilian part of the nuclear industry or. already open to private capital including foreign interests there are already quite a few private investors involved in your alien mining besides you've mentioned the united states well we're the largest owner of uranium deposits on u.s. territory was not on loans twenty percent of america's new radium reserves were presently mining in the state of wyoming for example this is something you probably couldn't imagine some three or four years ago today it's a reality that we own a controlling stake in your anian one the world's largest corporate owner is miner of uranium resources forty nine percent of the company is owned by several thousand

private investors which is another area where we've opened up is the construction of nuclear facilities we have a similar situation in mechanical engineering and we don't own one hundred percent of our hardware producing companies anymore and we intend to reduce our respective states to fifty one percent and in the long term once there was perfectly free competition in the industry i think we would be able to sell all those industrial assets together but as far as knowledge and technology are concerned the government should retain a controlling stake as for nuclear defense related assets the states still keep not just a controlling stake but one hundred percent ownership of the opera for ever there is simply no other way if you want to stick it in ca thank you very much for this interview thank you. hold it hold it. hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it

hold it. please click on. the speed. she. turned to her. and i. wish i. could bomb it slow and good. luck. just see the money in a month. i come out of my mind i'm a little. wealthy british style seinfeld's time to explain the. target.

markets why not scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy in these kinds of reports. there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. the full source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we want to present. something else. you know sometimes you see a story and see. so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else hears you some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know. welcome to the big picture.

the syrian opposition rejects the new international peace plan saying they want president assad to have no part in it and enter a national deal agreed in geneva has called for free elections with an all inclusive transitional government in the interim. u.k. and phone forums are to record private e-mail social network activity and telephone calls in the u.k. but there is deep concern over new government plans to pry into citizens personal affairs. and fresh calls to try julian assange for spying are made in washington while the top whistleblower waits for an answer on his asylum bid meanwhile are prepares to air the final episode of his interview show. time now for our sports

update with our money. hello and welcome this is sport an artsy with me remind calls for evan as gets our headlines right away. kings of europe again spain enjoying an historic four nil win over its aid to become the first team to defend their crown at the old ones it's all final. so i are burning bright goal thing starts uyghur woods wins for the third time this season to go second on the all sign bits or list in the p.g.a. tour. and better than ball to world champion yohan blake humbles same goals for the second time in three days as both jamaicans qualify for the london olympics. but first football and sublime spain have thrashed it's only four nil to become the first ever team to retain their european crown and claim

a third straight major title here's kate partridge with more. signed it and paid for its elite l. and space successfully defend that title here a two thousand and twelve to complete a unique travel the first and it seems he successfully defend the european crowd and also to do so while the current world champions debate and joining but made it seem hell to slay my hard time and then italy had to play the last thirty minutes with ted and foodstuff to t.t. aka mata he pulled up in jets and then an anti-terrorist and one after i came off the bench late on to wrap up the four nil scoreline. this lympics stadium hearing here is that you bump or play. if there were ever any diets just how good the spanish side had been on sets and i said produce a fantastic display to beat italy and win the euro two thousand and twelve championships was punishment an excellent form fry of a tournament and then winning their third major trophy in a row they've created

a legacy has been probably one of the best teams to have ever played for international football that's something we're going to we're going to have in our mind whenever there's something around you you can only live once in a lifetime and just without an amazing chance or there's. no way we've been so many years without winning here with our team with a spanish team winning everything with a little plops now is finally the chance were you not to show how strong we are full of astronomy started there were questions whether spain could maintain the consistency of its old emblem the euro two thousand a championship sign the world cup in two thousand and ten but they quickly on supposed critics or some excellent football from petroleum and terms of competition went home it just grew stronger and stronger culminating in this performance against italy for the likes of champion yes so once again influential producing some incredibly fluid football which is really easy on the on and really spain farah team who just play football in the right spirit and a fully deserving winners this year of two thousand and twelve title i think we

have a really good generation ah the young players are really good they're winning all the shepherds. well you know i'm just trying and won on the ninety's and i mean i think there's been a very very good review all of the teams are i think we have a lot of just one thing just one really right for italy tonight tried hard but the gulf in class which is obvious to the supporters so the only because as it really didn't have much of a chance to create a couple of good opportunities but unfortunately one of the able to beat a serious in the spain goal but nevertheless it can be very proud of their performance at this tournament before it started no one really gave them a hope of getting to the semifinals or even a final bit upset the olds really they can go home with their heads held high nothing seems to go awry starting from the first fifteen minutes we are lucky we are here but spain has been much much stronger than us so we cannot say anything or congratulations to spain who are fully deserving winners and i can

see no reason whatsoever why they can go on so i woke up in brazil in two thousand and fourteen and look to what would be an unprecedented fourth major trophy in a row. that was richer vamp or free now so after thirty one matches over thirty days the first big football tournament in eastern europe comes to a close with a record breaking performance from the world's number one team spain are still the champions commiserations to italy after a memorable final at the olympic stadium but for all of us here in kiev it's time to say goodbye. away from football and so goal for this force household name tiger woods has claimed his third title of the season to boost his bid to become the greatest player of all time the former world number one trailed by one shot going to the final day of the eighty n.c. national but he courted a solid round of sin under four sixty nine to beat fellow american ball van pelt's bites his frogs that makes three gave woods his seventy fourth b.j.

trophy and that means the fourteen time major champion has overtaken the legendary jack next. this with the most ever career wins on the american tour only the late sam snead has more with eighty two that's a reste to his name but at thirty six woods has plenty of science and sound and to catch up and he was happy with his performance in maryland. what an incredible week i mean the staff the maintenance crew a narrow body and yes it was a was a very difficult situation and they worked their tails off to get it done and. you know everybody thank you for being patient with us you know and yes it was a was a silent day of i think everyone saved up for today and it was a great atmosphere to play in front of. three time olympic champion the same bolt has lost his number one spot on the jamaican seam after finishing second so you are one blake at the big trials and kingston twice in three days that's a hundred metres final was the latest test was bowled considers his favorite

distance however blake was still on such a ball clocking the fastest time in the world this season all mines in point eight seconds it was his second season best over the weekend after he won the one hundred meter dash in mind point seventy five seconds both blake and bolts will represent jamaica in london along with war and we're finished third invent two hundred meters final. meanwhile the russian beach soccer team has won its first qualifier for that's one of thirteen feet for world cup they thrashed latvia in moscow i think same a coral scored four goals while dimitri sheehan added a hat trick russia hopes to continue their free scoring form on monday when they played germany the germans lost their opening match into poland two one in group eight the two best teams from each group or the whites of the last sixteen stage. now russia has claims and other birth at the upcoming london olympics this time the men's beach volleyball team qualified with a two nil win all republicans of that's

a russian sounds and seems convincingly came through the group stages of the world and because of find certain events before dispatching the poles in the final it was the last chance for the side after failing to emulate their female counterparts and winning the complete cup but the players kept their nerve to ensure that tickets to london. now among the athletes going to london are a family who hope to repeat the success they had in beijing the lopez's brought home three medals in taekwondo for america at the last of them picks they also owed their success in no small parts of their coach who's the eldest son michael christian go has this story. it was an exciting time for us for me and my family. just to know that you know this is what we worked hard for our whole lives and two thousand and eight we made history becoming the first family of top of the tree you know three to actually make the olympic team but we broke the record because my

brother gene is the olympic coach. it's a feat that had only been achieved once before over century in one thousand and four when the true brothers qualified for the u.s. gymnastics team. but unlike them the lucas family also brought home two bronze medals and one silver medal the first time a limping train was forcing that in me was in one thousand nine hundred eighty around nine years old and taekwondo was an exhibition sport at the soul of big games at a man looking over to my brother and going jane tucker knows a limp export now and they were making a big deal of it and right then and there is when i knew what i wanted to be jean lucas is the eldest sibling who unlike the rest focused his career on coaching he began teaching stephen. gage his other siblings when you start kindergarten you really don't choose to do it just thrown in there so diana and i we didn't really have a choice were thrown in there but you know i think god my parents and my brothers

you know put us in there and you know it was a blessing and i don't regret one moment but we always were such a close family that everything that we did we did together and we still were still like that today and that's why when it became a family affair for us jeanne himself began taekwondo when he was eight years old his father had encouraged him to try the sport because he believed it would teach him self-confidence and build character little did mr who looked as know what he had started. when i was twenty three years old i decided to open a school because that's actually the passion that i had. and that i have and i love teaching and it's something that i want and that i want to give back the most successful sibling is without a doubt stephen. the five time world champion and two times olympic gold when i was told many times he should retire while on top but even after only taking bronze

at the two thousand and eight beijing olympics he still motivated as ever if i feel . the way i do i would have to say i'll go on until i can't kick anymore until i don't want to anymore and the great thing is i have a brother who is very objective and he'll tell me you know steaming you don't have any more you should just stop but even if steven decides to retire from the sport there's still plenty of future hope for the loper stanley the legacy continues because my niece and nephews are training taekwondo and if they want to be world champions one day i believe they can be. and although mark lopez failed to make the u.s. olympic team this time around it didn't stop him from participating in it either you know for supporting them and helping them when the olympic gold medal that was was not they didn't find in two thousand and eight so then winning olympic gold is

them winning olympic gold for me as well the lucas siblings will no doubt be the center of attention when they take to the match at the in the olympics and even if they don't bet so that two thousand and eight results they've already carved out themselves a piece of olympic history michael schenker. more stories on here on the artsy sports news and i'll see you very.

blind rush is going to be soon which brighter if you knew all about sun from funds to freshen.
