would be soon which brightened if you knew me by song from france to the persian. stone totty dot com. you're watching r t you just in time for a recap of our life syria's opposition is rejecting a new peace deal to merge with the government because it doesn't bother president assad from the transition proposals the latest efforts to stop the bloodshed that killed one hundred twenty people last state alone. dug days ahead of britain's internet freedom as ministers mull over installing black a boxes which would stall people's private calls chats and messages the authorities say is necessary to catch criminals but what freedom activists say is

a vague and intrusive. and to the u.s. and makes of fresh calls to prosecute the world's most famous whistle blow up for spying and this comes ahead of julian assange his final talk show airing here on our team and whether we can leaves us of primo seeking refuge at the ecuadorian embassy in london. after japan's disaster some major countries began powering down their tomic plans next to russia's top nuclear officials talks about the future of the energy source. danke ahead of him the 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 a chip that's up for you which 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 the traumatic 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 college is like. if it if present to doesn't mean that the ten percent decrease actually place 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 because she left and they realized that there is no irreparable defect with nuclear energy systems in april the japanese government allowed me

visit the power plant here what impressed me most was not before crippled units but rather the two undamaged ones that few journalists ever mention that fukushima has six reactor units not 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 with the generators for units five and six are located above the units or that's it therefore the principle 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 are 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 or cruel it 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 which even if there had been no personnel at the power plant at the time the machinery itself would have ensured absolute safety of his 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. activists they currently oppose nuclear energy at the end of it if you look at all especially considering it go like 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 which it does not produce greenhouse gases 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 full up we used to withhold technical information on nuclear power plants and when there is no reliable information that's when myths. are in fact the japanese without trial and information on fukushima and first days of the tragedy. and i think this was an extraordinary blunder on their part that we're trying to filter the information they were providing to the world and 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 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 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 has kept everyone dad there's no way of rigging this has to ship sensors are sealed and they post their readings on the internet all magically 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 book as even if the personnel failed to take action the system 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 causing in my interest u.s. 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 was this a decision driven by political pressure at the fishing and of the body is 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 also bringing questionings he said. if you believe that your nuclear power plants are on sale you should shut them down right now when you say they are unsafe which you will shut them down after twenty twenty one 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 twenty twenty why shut them down at that point we so sure it was politics i just have to fight it but if you're saying that germany is to only european countries that's ready to give up next their energy but other countries such as usually norway greece that are also opposing it karen it but it sure you have not to get them started in norway had decided to make a shift towards renewable energy prior to the fukushima disaster 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 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 friends and they were 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 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 out 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 to 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 weird energy or solar energy for decades on end of it because i want to have the level of rush hour but ship 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 yet 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 to middle south i think for that 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 eurabia mining besides you've mentioned the united states well we're the largest owner of uranium deposits on u.s. territory most not on loans twenty percent of america's new radio mazurkas we're 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 so 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 stakes 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 still keep not just a controlling stake but one hundred percent ownership of the for ever think that there is simply no other way to put all of it was a bit sticky danka thank you very much for this interview thank you.

for sure is that so much about taxpayers' money lending 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. there hasn't been anything yet t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. the full source material is what helps keep journalism. we. we wanted to present. something else. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images cobalt

seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are all today. world. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've gone to the future covered.

syria's opposition is rejecting a new peace deal to merge with the government because it doesn't block president assad from the transition proposals the latest effort to stop the bloodshed that killed over one hundred twenty people last thursday and the. days ahead for bridges internet freedom as ministers malo installing black boxes which would still people's private calls live chats and messages its origins say it's necessary to catch criminals but what freedom activists say it's brave and too intrusive. and the u.s. makes fresh calls to prosecute the world's most famous whistleblower. this comes ahead of judean that sunday's final talk show airing here on our t.v. and with that we could make supremos seeking refuge at their from dorian embassy in

london. time now for sports update with andrew. good to have the company and these are some of the stories we're covering this hour exit top seed maria sharapova is not down to win by german sibling this seeking. class as the best but is in the. twenty twelve after helping his side retain their european crown. better than bowl world champion your home plate humbles you saying bolt for the second time in three days as opposed to making sprinters qualify for the london olympics. but first world number one maria sharapova has suffered a shock defeat at wimbledon losing in two says to germany's to being the sea. had beaten the fifteen seed in their last three meetings but to get going today misses

out on the fifth quarter final appearance however so they rush maria kirilenko still has a chance of making the last day she is a set up again shy of playing from china although it's five games all there in the second only of defending champion patrick of these ever made the quarterfinals with a comeback win over its least francesca schiavone and four time champion serena williams also three eventually over caroline you're a slob a huge. now the men's draw russia mikhail youzhny is in the deciding set with respect to stand in the system in and it's one one in the fifth there the winner of this match will probably play roger federer who used to set one up against him elise a while later on for the seed andy murray will square off against cry at night in chile defending champion over djokovic playfellows to and off the court friend viktor troicki. now after helping spain retain their european crown midfielder andres iniesta has been named player of twenty twelve by you way for he

and the rest of the team headed home from kiev on monday after thrashing italy for new and sunday's final in yes there is also among ten spanish. players named anyway this twenty three man squad of the tournament the spain team will receive a hero's welcome from fans their king am prime minister when they return to madrid spain in the first team ever to win three leading tolerance in a row now with more on their achievement from ukraine here's kate partridge. site finished by now and space successfully defend their title here a two thousand and twelve to complete a unique travel the first entity see success to defend the european crowd and also to do so while the current world champions daveed and made it to notice play by a hard time and they easily had to play the last thirty minutes with ten man thinks up to t.t. aka multiple people that means yet and then an anti-terrorist and one after i gave up the bench lights on to wrap up the four nil scoreline. this lympics stadium

hearing here is that a bump or play. if there were ever any diets just how good the spanish side they've been on since the minds as they produce a fantastic display to beat italy and win the euro two thousand and twelve championships was punishment 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 mind ever this is something that you can only live once in a lifetime and it is we've 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 is finally the chance were you not to show how strongly before this tournament 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 front but solomon 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 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 or will be there winning all the sherpas . well you know i'm just trying and one of the nigerian lines i mean i think i spent over and over did i read all the of the teams 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 the supporters of the only because as it really didn't have much of a chance that it could create a couple of good opportunities but unfortunately wanted able to be to see its member spain go but nevertheless people 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 but very upset the odds that 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 graduations to spain who are fully deserving winners and i can see no reason whatsoever why they can't go on so i woke up 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 there 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. now another football news you wait for has banned russian club and chief from playing their europa league games at their home stadium dagestan for

security reasons and jihad qualify for next season's told say they will now look elsewhere in russia for an alternative to them a catch the last day which is based in the volatile region of dagestan during the season and train and even moscow and flying for their own game. well rush are talking starlix and do a lot of his sign for occasional side after a brief spell with the national pride it is but a duel of his name the cape charles and the pave the season before he headed for the n.h.l. in march but after falling out with the management at the pride it is he has decided to return to russia and will play footy iscar next season after the men agreed a seven million dollars fee with sal advanced. in golf the sport's highest selve name tiger woods has claimed his third title of the season to boost his bid to become the greatest player of all time former world number one trial by one shot going into the final day of the eighteenth tee national but he carded a solid c.

wonder round of sixty nine to be fellow american van pelt by two straights that victory giving woods his seventy fourth p.g.a. trophy that the fourteen time major champion has overtaken the legendary jack nicklaus for the second most career wins on american to the late sam snead has more than eighty two victories to his name but it's thirty six boards still has plenty of time to catch up and was happy with his performance in america. what an incredible week i mean the staff 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 i'm yes it was a was a silent day of i think everyone saved up for today and it was a great play in front of. triple olympic champion your same boat is again being upstaged the jamaican olympic trials he lost a compact blake for the second time in three days blake had beaten him the hundred

meters in nine point seven five seconds the world's fastest time of the year and then got the better of him again in the two hundred which ball this is his favorite distance break again record in the fastest time in the world the she with nineteen point eight seconds both played both represent jamaica and then though along with warm we're finished now two hundred meters final. while russia has claimed another berth at the upcoming elim pics the men's beach volleyball team booking it take it to london with it to know when over poland in moscow my club change to watch them world a limb pick qualification tournament. then with the tournament started exactly what it says on the tin olympic qualification that's something that up till now how deluded the russian men's beach volleyball team after failing to emulate russia's women's team already qualified by winning the continental cup this really was the last chance saloon for them but the russians kept their nerve seeing of poland in

the final in two rather one sided games. in the first you got of and you need to beat but bush was shocked and people come tore into straight sets partner sergei prokofiev repeated that feat against poland second duo. and. i hold that equalled russia's twenty run of four wins in the last going into the match at home comfort seem to have played their part in the resoundingly victory the players however went without their worries prior to the final. i had about three hours of sleep the previous night because off the top group we knew we would play in the final only the foil was shelled for seven thirty pm so we had to hold our emotions and keep focused but we experienced players and know how to deal with this kind of stress. and with our eyes now firmly on london the guys mood was understandably buoyant. we're not playing on going to the olympics to simply

participate in it this year has been tough so we'll want to show ourselves to the marks and see how high we can get if we get a medal that would be amazing playing better and better together so hopefully we can reach our peak and make our fans. by theirs in the men's other final muscle mexico to nil to clinch the other olympic tickets up for grabs despite dropping a set against the mexicans to never look like they would surrender their undefeated run in the tournament i think. we had a really. great team spirit although it's just one to get for two teams which of course can make problems but i think we did a really good job and we deserved it and with that the final two spots for the beach volleyball competition at the olympics have now been killed. and then some piece of global team will after all be joining the women's team on the plains a lot of this summer that's not been sleeping and lead singer holmes could have not

have the people to listen to on the vinyl here in moscow now that you seem to be heading to london to a good president who will get two thousand seat stadium clips on the twentieth of july because they will also going to jump the bottle now before the big glory michael take over our team that must go with me and that brings us to the end of the sport for the moment got the weather coming up.

i'm. that. line. would be so much brighter if you knew.
