you're watching our t.v. just in time for a recap of our headlines the syrian opposition rejected the latest international peace plan calling for free elections with an all inclusive transitional government in the interim. u.k. internet and phone firms are to record private data but there's deep concern over a new government plans to pry into citizens personal of pets. and fresh calls or to try julian assange for spying on raid in washington while the top whistleblower awaits one on sell on his asylum bid minogue t.v. prepares to air the final episode obviously interview shared. next who are

discussing the future of nuclear energy after the fukushima disaster in japan where the russia's top nuclear official in a special interview. danka head of the state's nuclear energy corp welcome and thank you for joining us it's been a little over a year since difficult shima 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 which of course most of what you're watching 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 so what accounts for the reduction is european dynamics germany in particular and 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 including the u.s. which lasted some two decades ago there was also the u.k. which are 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 that dramatic and also remember that some countries have old power of tides 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 downturns but in reality our contracts have doubled the boiler collection is. listen to this thread since it doesn't mean that the ten percent decrease actually placed into russia's hands but you just as i did and 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 power plants and you'll hear what impressed me most was not before crippled units but rather the two damaged ones few journalists ever mention that fukushima she has six reaction was felt for her but nothing happened to the other two 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 unix roots that itself therefore the principle conclusion is that there is a feasible solution however some of what the fukushima tragedy has told us is that experience is extremely important and so it's 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 so court host fukushima solutions for nuclear power plants this means that the new type of power plants that we either build in russia or offer to our customers like ruled 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 at the power plant at the time the machinery itself would have ensured absolute safety

of a full service office mr the ship sometimes says the sickness can progress as he believes it technological progress can ensure that safe nuclear energy what's your reaction to it and ran out. activist you know so i think originally their energy at the end of it if you look at all squished is that it collects 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 power solar energy and hydraulic power engineering at what you does not produce greenhouse gas period when a nuclear power plant is running normally its impact on the environment even ciro 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 a loss that's when myths. that are in fact like the japanese without trial and information and think ashima and first stays at

a tragedy. and i think this was an extraordinary blunder on their part that i 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 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. they have installed these systems at every single nuclear facility in russia and 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 dad was there's no way of reading this has to ship sensors are sealed and they post their readings on the internet and that's it sean or that the horror stories were 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 the books even if the personnel failed to take action because the system should be designed so as to be safeguarded against any possible malfunction myself 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 assistance i think 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 the thought was this a decision driven by political pressure with the fishing from the north on your family 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 hill does he has to bring questionings he said call it if you believe that your own nuclear power plants are on say we should start you should shut them down right

now it's like when you say they are unsafe which you will shut them down after twenty or twenty one weeks ago how are you going to get i would hold a mobile number of facilities for ten more years when you get up and if they are safe enough to last until twenty twenty why show 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 is ready to give up next our energy but other countries such as specially the way greece that are also a nuclear energy but a sharing of not me get them started norway had decided to make a shift towards renewable energy prior to the fukushima disaster but that is really about nuclear energy back in the one nine hundred eighty s. and there have been no recent developments in this regard to what is therefore to be realistic and that is indeed germany 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 about us like japan has also put a freeze on most of its new point is still

a six or however last week they decided to wind up and sixty and they're about to launch their first two reactor units with that in the background of thirty one countries have decided whether to go on with developing their nuclear reactor. systems or even to build using your facilities here 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 out of south africa has just decided to build it i continued its england is planning to build up to twenty units so each country will make its own decision as to the russian out there are several aspects but first of all it's about expertise need to have more knowledge of nuclear energy and you need the technology you might want your germany for one you can't build a nuclear power plant anymore just once if they decided to build one now they'd have to outsource construction to us what if french or the americans are german industries have been out of the business for nearly twenty five years and they have lost so number one is know how second by 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 a weird energy or solar energy for decades on a of technical side 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 career lection manifesto said there were plans to privatise where saturn at the still a subcommittee of it not ross not on that let's not forget the ross 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 get them to shut things are not for sale 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. are already open to private capital including foreign interests there are already quite a few private investors involved in eurabia mining besides you've mentioned the united states well we're the largest owner of uranium deposits on u.s. territory. owns twenty percent of america's new radio lizards we're presently mining in the state of wyoming for example this is something you probably couldn't imagine at some three or four years ago today it's a reality that we own a controlling stake in your reign 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 of another area where we've opened up is the construction of nuclear facilities so we have a similar situation in mechanical engineering i 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 was 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 states will keep not just a controlling stake but one hundred percent ownership of the opera for ever think that there is simply no other way if you want to stick it into thank you very much for this interview thank you. for sure is that so much about the taxpayers' money and it is a shame if my people hearing the use of unmanned drone attacks has surged during the obama presidency proponents of this weapon claim they are precise say for american. in full started here.

for going to lowball and. fire. look. choose your place take your stand. needs to. make your statement. split the words. occupy wall street in line. well into the. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got those huge earth covered.

the syrian opposition rejects the native international peace plan calling for free elections with an all inclusive transitional government in the interim. u.k. internet and phone firms such record private data but there's a deep concern and the new government plans to fly into citizens personally then. and the french calls in to try julian assange spying on made in washington while the top whistleblower waits for an onslaught on his fine and good meanwhile on keeping has to end the final episode avi's interview show. time now to sports update with roma.

hello and welcome of this is for an artsy with me over on calls for event let's gets our headlines right away. kings of europe again spain enjoy and historic four nil win over it's a to become the first team to defend their ground at the year old twins it's all final. so i go burning bright golfing starts uyghur woods wins for the third time this season to go second on the old time victory list in the p.g.a. tour. and better than balts world champion the yohan blake combo the same bolt for the second so i'm in three days as both jamaican sprinter is quite apply for the london olympics. but first two football and sublime spain have frash is in the 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. site banished by

its elite now and space successfully defend their title here at two thousand and twelve to complete a unique travel a bit see the success to defend the european crowd and also to do so while the current world champions daveed silva and jordi made it to notice play by heart time and they easily had to play the last thirty minutes with ten man thinks up to t.t. aka mata people that mean jet and then an anti-terrorist and right 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 had been on sets and i as a producer fantastic display to beat italy and win the euro two thousand and twelve championships want to have been an excellent form for the toll amends and in winning their third major trophy in a row they've created a legacy as being 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 that you you can only live once in a lifetime and it is without an amazing gesture 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 is finally the chance we're not to show how strong we are 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 terms of competition went home it just grew stronger and stronger culminating in this performance against italy by 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 of young players are really good they're winning all the

sharpness. well you know this time it won on the nineteenth mondavi 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 trying hard but the gulf in class which is obvious to the supporters the only because as it really didn't have much of a chance that it could create a couple of good opportunities but unfortunately one needs able to because he is in the spain goal but nevertheless deeply can be very proud of a performance at this tournament before it started no one really gave them 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 who are fully deserving winners and i can see no reason whatsoever why they can go on so 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 full 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 here it's time to say good bye. kate portrayed general that they're reporting from the final four year olds went to twelve in kiev but let's move on now so it's tennis and women's world number one maria sharapova is looking to reach wimbledon quarterfinals for the fifth time in her career the two thousand and four champions takes on germany said the lisicki who she beat in all of the three previous encounters the top ranked russian is in line to play retiring kim clijsters in the last eight the belgian is up against eighth seed german angele kerber while on for right now is

holed up. of all the czech republican she's up against francesca schiavone a four time former champion serena williams is an action against. and over on the men's side the last russian standing nicole usually has kicked off against denise's. stan and he could next play russia better the swiss master faces belgian surprise back to back its savior while later on the fourth seed as it murray will square off against. defending champion novak djokovic will play fellow serve and of course friend victor choice. in goal for the sport's household name sigler woods has claimed his third title of the season to boost his big bid to become the greatest player of all time the former world number one trailed by one shot going into the final day all the national but he courted a solid round of two under four six nine to beat fellow american both by two strokes that makes ricky woods he's seventy fourth b.j. trophy and that means the fourteen time major champion has overtaken the legendary

jack nicklaus for the second most career wins on the american tour only the late sam snead has more with eighty two big stories to his name but the thirty six woods has plenty of time and talent to catch up and he was happy with his performance in maryland. her 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 it was a great atmosphere to play in front of. three time olympic champion it was saying bolt has lost his number one spot on the jamaican team after finishing second so yohan blake the big trials in kingston twice in three days that's the one hundred meters final was the latest test which both considers this a good distance however blake was still on such

a break from the fastest time in the world this season. second it was his second season's best over the weekend after the one hundred meters in nine point seven five seconds both blake and boats will represent jamaica in london along with more and we're finished third in that city with more years i know. finally among the athletes going so long in our family who hope to repeat the success they had in beijing the lopez brought home three medals in psych was all for america at the latest lympics they also hold their success in no small part so their coach who is the eldest son michael 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 whole life and two thousand and eight we made history becoming the first family of top of the 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 going to be cool over century in one thousand and four when the 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 a big dream was force ignited me was in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine years old and taekwondo was an exhibition sport at this olympic games and american over to my brother and going jane tucker knows olympic sport now and they were making a big deal of it and right then 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 stephen first. but 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 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 bill character little did mr hooley lopez know what he had started when i was twenty three years old i decided to open a store because that's actually the passion that i have. and that i have and 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 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 lupus 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 luke has failed to make the u.s. olympic team this time around it didn't stop him from dissipating unit i'll be there 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 were no doubt be the center of attention when they take to. 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 political history michael. and reformer will bring you up to date so less than a couple of hours from now but our you tube channel is available to you at any artsy sports news so take a look when you get a chance and thank you for watching.
