and fresh calls to try julian a songs for spying are made in washington while the top whistleblower waits for an answer on his asylum bid meanwhile our team prepares to air the final episode of this interview show. next up we're discussing the future all of nuclear energy after the fukushima disaster in japan with russia's top nuclear official that's in our special interview. ahead of time this state's nuclear energy corporation welcome and thank you for joining us it's been a little over a year since to fukushima tragedy in japan during this period we 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 that's up for you which is 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 and japan suspension of its nuclear activities in the aftermath of fukushima 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. 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 dr matic also remember that some countries have old power plants and in the coming ten 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 college is like . if it effects it doesn't mean that the ten percent decrease actually plays into russia's hands just as i did and you know i wouldn't put it that way i decline in market never fares well for anybody as it increases competition it is tougher 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 at fukushima and they realised that there is no irreparable defect with nuclear energy systems in april the japanese government allowed me visit the fukushima power plant what impressed me most was not before crippled units but rather the two undamaged

ones few journalists ever mention that fukushima daiichi has six reactor units not four but nothing happens the other two what is a vital difference is that the first four units have their emergency diesel generators in the basement where they were simply flooded the generators for units five and six are located above the units that sit there for the principal conclusion is that there is a feasible solution however what the fukushima tragedy has taught us is that experience is extremely important and so is an opportunity to physically try out 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 first that's does indeed play into the hands of russian industries because we're the ones who can offer the so-called post 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 abroad would have endured

the disaster that hit fukushima in march two thousand and eleven nothing would have happened to them even if they had to withstand the worst possible earthquake coupled with the worst possible tsunami even if there had been no personnel at the power plant at the time the machinery itself would have ensured absolute safety. emphasis those that if he believed that technological progress can ensure that safe nuclear energy what's your reaction to environmental. activists who so they can post nuclear energy. nuclear energy is perfectly environmentally friendly much more so than all 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 that does not produce greenhouse gases as such 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 fault we used to withhold technical information on nuclear power plants and when

there is no reliable information that's when myths emerge. in fact even the japanese with had relevant information on first days of the tragedy. and i think this was an extraordinary blunder on their part by 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 what we have done to address this issue in russia is develop 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 and transmit their readings to our company and the i.a.e.a. we have installed the systems at every single nuclear facility in russia and two years ago we started displaying these indications on the internet in real time any of our viewers may access the website right now and look up radiation indicators for any of russia's nuclear power plants up to date as well as for any date in the

past and that is what is camp everyone down there's no way of rigging the system all that sensors are sealed and they post their readings on the internet automatically and that's it gone are the myths and the horror stories we're already developing a new generation of technology pursuing the notion of natural safety 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 button even if the personnel fail to take action this is too should be designed so as to be safeguarded against any possible malfunction all by itself that is a task for a new generation of nuclear power plants that we're currently developing your wife is a full force i think it would considering the kind of technical solutions you have just described how would you account for chairman his decision to shut down all of its nuclear plants was this a decision driven by political pressure. on your body it was certainly politics i respect the german government's decision because i see this as a choice made by

a sovereign nation that said we had a roundtable discussion yesterday which was attended by the turkish energy minister mr you know does he as a brilliant question and he said colleagues if you believe that your nuclear power plants are on safe you should shut them down right now when you say they are unsafe which you will shut them down after twenty twenty weeks how are you going to get by with vulnerable nuclear facilities for ten more years and if they are safe enough to last until two thousand and twenty why shut them down at that point we so sure it was politics i just have to fight to put it away if you're saying that germany is to only european countries that's ready to give up nuclear energy but other countries such as easily norway greece are also opposing nuclear energy but it sure you have not yet been studied norway have decided to make a shift toward renewable energy prior to the fukushima disaster that is really a bound and nuclear energy back in the one nine hundred eighty s. and there's been no recent developments in this regard 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 fact japan has also put a freeze on most of its nuclear facilities however last week they decided to end the freeze and they were about to launch their first two reactor units with that in the background thirty one countries have decided either to go on with developing their nuclear energy says. tems or even to build nuclear facilities for the first time what we see is strong difference he ation i.e. there will be countries actively developing their nuclear energy programs 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 oh there are several aspects first of all it's about expertise you need to have more knowledge of nuclear energy and you need the technologies in germany for

one 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 it so number one is know how secondly it's about whether a country can afford developing renewable energy or shale gas or 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 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 when you have that it will never sell out but 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 familiar yet not ross let's not forget

that brought out on is primarily an element in this country's nuclear defense capabilities i know our policy makers outlook on this issue and i'm sure rolls out on will never be privatized because some of its industries cater to russia's nuclear arsenal yet such things are not for sale i thank you for that what is it that i want to get us through to show some projects related to the civilian part of the nuclear industry are. already open to private capital including foreign interests there are already quite a few private investors involved in your rainy mining besides you've mentioned the united states well we're the largest owner of uranium deposits on u.s. territory ross out on owns twenty percent of america's your a.t.m. reserves are 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 we own a controlling stake in your anian one the world's largest corporate owner and miner of uranium resources forty nine percent of the company is owned by several thousand

private investors which another area where we've opened up is the construction of nuclear facilities we have a similar situation in the county jail engineering 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 is 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 state shall keep not just a controlling stake but one hundred percent ownership of them forever there is simply no other way if you want to stick it and to thank you very much for this interview thank you.

sports update with time on. thank you karen hello and welcome this is more than artsy with me ramon cost and let's get to our headlines right away. kings of europe again spain enjoying and his story cornell win over it's ok to become the first team to depend their crown and the euro to once it's all final. so i get a burning bright gold thing starts iger woods and wins for the third time this season to go seconds on the old scientific to relist in the p.g.a. tour. and better than ball's world champion beyond blake humbles hussain bowls for the second time in three days as both jamaican sprinters qualify for the ones and in the books. first two football and sublime spain have thrashed it's

a four nail to become the first ever team to retain their european crown and playing at third straight major title here's kate partridge with more. simon banished spain italy now and spain successfully defend their title here year a two thousand and twelve to complete a unique travel entity see success the european crowd and also to do so while the current world champions daveed silva and made it to notice play by a hard time and they easily had to play the last thirty minutes with ten man foodstuff to tiago mata people that enjoy it 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 here in kiev is that a bump or play. if there were ever any diets just how good the spanish side they've been on for tonight as they produce a fantastic display to beat italy and win the euro two thousand and twelve championships want to be an excellent form for the toll amends and in 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 minds wherever there's something that you can only live once in a lifetime and it is with had 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 and now it's finally the chance we're not to show how strong we are over for this tournament started there were questions whether spain could maintain the consistency of its old and won 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 front but solomon sense of competition went home it just grew stronger and stronger culminating in his performance against italy for the likes of champion yes so once again influential producing some incredibly fluid football which is really easy on the army and really spain where a team who just played 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 with their winning all the sharpness . well you know i'm just twenty one and the ones in line i mean i think there's been a very very good renewal of the of the team so 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 his supporters the only because as he really didn't have much of a chance that it could create a couple of good opportunities but unfortunately one aide able to because he is in the spain goal but nevertheless he can be very proud of a performance at this tournament before he started no one really gave him a hope of getting to the semifinals or even the final but very upset the olds and 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. spain has been much much stronger than us so we cannot say anything well

congratulations to spain for fully deserving winners and i can see no reason whatsoever why they can't go on the world cup in brazil in two thousand and fourteen i'm look to what would be an unprecedented fourth major trophy in a row. that was richer vamp or free than 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 from all of us here in kiev it's time to say goodbye. kay portage there and richard of our poor fleet reporting from ikea from the final of the euro it's what it's well but let's move on in golf the sports household name tiger woods has claimed his third title of the season suppose 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 and the national but he courted

a solid round of two under four sixty nine to beat fellow american paul van pelt's by two strokes that makes reggae woods his seventy fourth p.g.a. trophy and it means the. fourteen time major champion has overtaken the legendary jack nicklaus for the second most career wins on the americans who are only the late sam sleeve has met with him to victory says they bought a thirty six was has plenty of sign and talent to catch up and he was happy with his performance in maryland. incredible week i mean the staff the maintenance crew 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 i'm yes it was a was a silent day of i think everyone saved up for today and there was a great atmosphere to plan front of. three time olympic champion it was saying balls has lost his number one spot on the jamaican seem after finishing second so yohan blake at the olympic trials in kingston twice in three days that soumitra

meters final was was the latest this was both considers his favorite distance however blake was still untouchable. song in the world this season with eight seconds it was his second season best over the weekend's answered one of the one hundred meters down in nine point seventy five seconds both blake and bowls will represent jamaica in london along with war and we are the finished third in that two hundred meters final. meanwhile the russian beach soccer team has won his first qualifier for that's one hundred thirteen feet for world cup they thrashed latvia nine two in moscow alex a macor of scored four goals while dimitri she added a hat trick russia hopes to continue their free scoring four on monday when they play germany the germans lost their opening match to poland to one in group a the two best teams from each group who qualified for the last sixteen stage. and stand on the sand where russia has claimed another berth at the upcoming lawns and

olympics this time the men's beach volleyball team qualified with it sunil win over poland's the two russian sounds and seems convincingly came through the group stages of the world and to qualify and sentiments before dispatching the poles in the final it was the last chance for the financing even to emulate their female counterparts in winning the comforter ration is caught by the players. to ensure she gets the lungs and. now among other athletes going to london are a family who hopes to repeat the success they had in beijing the lopez's brought home three medals in taekwondo for america at the last olympics they also hold their success in no small parts of their coach who is the eldest son michael has the 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 a trio 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 be full over century in one thousand no fool with a true liberal disqualified for the u.s. gymnastics team. but unlike them the lucas family also brought home two bronze medals and won silver medal. the first time at the olympic dream was force ignite in me was in one thousand nine hundred eighty around nine years old and taekwondo was an exhibition sport at this olympic games at home are looking over to my brother and going jane talk knows olympic sport now and they were making a big deal of it and right then and there is when i knew what i wanted to be. gene lucas is the eldest sibling who unlike the rest focused his career on coaching he began teaching steven. 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 him 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 i 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 hu lopez know what he had started when i was twenty three years old i decided to open a store because that's naturally the passion that i have. and that i have a lot of teaching and something that i want and i want to give back the most successful sibling is without a doubt stephen. the five time world champion and two times olympic gold winner

was told many times he should have time while on top but even after only taking bronze at the two thousand and eight beijing olympics he's still motivated as ever if i feel. now 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 stephen you don't have any more you should just stop but even if stephen decides to retire from the sport there's still plenty of future hope for the lopez family 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 when an 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 absalom the lympics and even if they don't bet so the two thousand and eight results they've already carved out themselves a piece of olympic history michael schenker. i'll be back with another updates in less than a couple of hours from now but our you tube channel is available to you at any time at artsy sporting use take a look when you get a chance and thank you for watching all the backs on. science technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered.
