british manager. welcome to the the news aisha. i'm glad you could join us starting thursday, japan will begin releasing created to redirect a water from a damaged nuclear power plant into the ocean. the for pushing my diet to nuclear power plant was damaged in a deadly creek. and so now me back in 2011. since then, tons of water had been used to pull the nuclear fuel rods inside starting thursday, some 1300000 liters of this water will begin to be released into the pacific ocean . the water would be treated and radioactive, substances abiding one. tim removed and you're fine. series the water release is needed to decommission the power plant, the international atomic energy agency, or the i a year green lighted the water release plan last month.
7:18 pm
and this is how people in tokyo react to the announcement. the plan would now be implemented from thursday. yeah, i know. yeah. i'm glad the date was finally decided. i know talks were on going to set the water release for summer prime minister cuz she to finally visited for christina to explain the situation to the locals. so this will be a big step towards fukushima, is the commissioning process in the i. e. m. many countries say that water relieves a safe, so i believe it is nothing but fishermen are facing so many problems. the japanese government needs to do something to convince the room on the, on the i think the water relieves is ok if radiation levels are measured and meet the standardized neighboring countries like south korea and china are
7:19 pm
protesting. but they are releasing contaminated water at the high level to so i don't think it's fair that they are protesting. but i left that modem this from done, this one, you have las go drives me from tokyo. sonya, how will this water be released? i mean, what does the process definitely be followed? a tough call. the company that runs the power plant has been trying to install a system that removes contaminated isotopes from the water. it's had, it's has had some success along the way. also some issues, some leakages. but it has managed to remove the majority of those contaminated isotopes, and the plan is now to dilute that the water further before it will be pumped into the ocean. how much opposition has, has there been to this plan within japan itself? i think that that could have been or sort of been maybe more of
7:20 pm
a position, but i'm looking back. it's not anywhere near. you know, you can't really compare it to the situation. right. aust, as it is awesome, most people have moved on the people mainly affected and ceiling. this now obviously the fisherman and the region and also active as they are still campaigning against this release. but the majority of the population kind of notices them use, but that's about it. all right, and i do want to talk to about the fisherman and the, and the, and the issues that they have, again about this plan. but that goes to the very heart of the problem that has been made clear, please by fishermen and activism. that is the issue of the safety of the water. is this water safe? well, the government says it is also the united nations watched off the i a, a says it's safe. it's actually something that's being done around the world and
7:21 pm
all the nuclear plants and japan to stay below those levels. still that have been so many blunders and lies in the past. so i think really the, the trust in what the government says has been eroded quite a bit. and also some scientists say that while it's not contaminated enough or low strong enough to, to penetrate a human being skin. if it's an i'm injustice, there is some, some cancer risk they say. so yeah, it's a tricky one. so what does the japanese government been doing to lay people's fears and concerns. i mean, there's been doing information and sessions, given explanations, made lots of appeals, but a s o. often they basically throw money at the problem so, so they've even locked around $500000000.00 to, to use for campaigns to reduce the reputational damage to the fisherman. and also
7:22 pm
to support them in case there's something some issue, you know, in case they cannot sell the fish and so on. but that is already built possibility isn't that because hong kong has now announced import controls on japanese food products. and therefore, the question is, what does that, what does the impact of those import controls going to be on japanese see for the exports? yes, indeed, hong kong has already reacted in a, in a less than positive way. and china has done the same of those countries by a lot of sea food or in the past used to buy a lot of sea food from japan. and the past month there's already been a reduction of about 30 percent. and a lot of the c for the japan produces is actually, it actually has its major market outside of japan, a certain things like c squared, for example, the amazing delicacies in other asian markets. so these could be very much effective. but to find a way to have experience with this because it means you pay off of the disaster in
7:23 pm
2011. these were the same concerns that produced by japanese fishermen. however, the japanese officially industry didn't, but that all is fine. they've been trying to make appeals. they've been trying to, to lobby on behalf of the fishermen for a long time. there's only been scientific fishing directly in there for pushing my region. but i think now that's the situation to sort of calm down there, opening the box again. and we might see or the system and actually might see some similar results compared to 12 years ago. squealer. leave it there for the time being. but thank you so much for joining us, but those updates from tokyo, sonya of laska, thank you so much. you're welcome. hong kong is defined, the 2nd largest market off to china. so agricultural and fisheries exports. but it isn't just japanese fishermen who might seem to print of any import restrictions
7:24 pm
from the peasantry. restaurant owners in hong kong awarded that the government's decision to activate import tubs, could leave them facing an uncertain future. at this hong kong restaurants, fish is the speciality. trouble is these menu main stays will come from japan and with a band on some inputs leaving. that could mean cutbacks can go on then that will help that if the band covers the food products transiting via tokyo. by then we might have to source our supply from other places like a socket coming. want to come directly to holland coming lightly. conversely, with the or we'll put less c food on the menu lawyer, but we'll still use meat and vegetables from japan last month. so, hong kong government said that any button would apply to aquatic products from tokyo and separate other japanese regions. not just focus cima. in passing input,
7:25 pm
supply refrigerate to them, frozen goods, as well as some dried products, including sea, salt and sea waves. and customers here seemed pretty happy with the decision. uh, you know, all of that whole, i believe the hong kong government should have very strict control over the input to see food. so if the worried about the say that will conduct a lot of these things and then the same problem. exactly. so those that are not bend i'm, i believe they're run through star testing and the government to show that they're not harmful to humans before the import. i believe japanese food and hong kong is not going to close grace issues. at customer confidence may now be changed to restaurants like this, then home comes with the internet feeling the band could take a big slice out of his business and leave him facing significant losses.
7:26 pm
indonesia has a big for the waste problem. one investigation found that in the period from 2000 to 2019, for instance, invitations threw away some 115 to a 184 chinos afford, per capita high. yeah. and there are regulations in place now to reduce the spot enterprising solutions are already in the market to try and solve the problem. it's dusty good and one of the easiest and most popular these just, i'm sorry, i money. i sleep deep into being a set by daily reality and restaurants throughout the country. as much as 40 percent of the lease in the country is fluid from retailers for surfaces as well as households. according to research from the barry less than 3 or 4 foot and it's ration. donasia is the 3rd largest for the way sir into work. but change will not be easy. for me, when i actually thought regarding the waste management and hotels,
7:27 pm
the most important thing is obviously that nothing is waste. i see the kind of thing, but sometimes it comes to avoid it. we know using that i've done, you know, a surplus application which at least allows us to reduce food waste. yeah. when the log in done, you know what ways unbundle is this restaurant? no sales, it's offers folks to using the surplus at the f sales, excess fluid from restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and even farms. at a minimum, 50 percent discount sellers released their surplus foot on the app about 3 hours before closing the foot is either pick up directly or send via career to the buyer to i'll see if this in indonesia have already introduced the app but, but this and wondering, but i guess on the so 80 percent of the potential food waste can be reduced intent into revenue. but the goal is that those we use the rap to do not lose the money
7:28 pm
due to over stock. but every year, millions of tons of foot still end up being thrown away in a country where many children, my know is the government has only just started to grapple with the issue. the, the, the legislation has just been drafted to regulate dispute waste with we seem to be once at that uh, we are committed to this will be completed by 2024 and then going to forward security issues should be a concern for the governor of the website for them to remove that so no regulation . yeah. the thing is that i need for the one to in the meantime, the government plans to use leaders of and in each yes, 6 religions as messengers. and it's getting paid to a to use with ways. they have been asked to address ways to avoid the ways at neighborhood getaways and in their segments. a stop gap measure for the moment that the government hopes so have long good some solutions in place of or that does have
