market. can find out what's really happening to the global economy for a normal is barred look at the global financial headlines to cause a report on our g. this is the arctic news channel from moscow the main story tonight the official number killed by a tsunami in japan is no three hundred seventy five percent figure achieved the most optimistic estimates suggest will rise dramatically huge wave was caused by the biggest earthquake in the country's history cars buildings even passenger trains will sweat away helpless against the power of the tsunami a car battled tokyo was also affected millions hit by power cuts and its transit system coming to a complete halt and now a new quake tonight measuring six point six has hit in the last hour causing the

city's skyscrapers to shake again perhaps the most worrying tonight is the damage caused to the fukushima nuclear plant in the northeast we're hearing that the pressure inside the reactor there has been rising tonight officials are fearing of a radiation leak but japan's nuclear safety agency saying all to reduce the pressure inside that containment vessel radioactive vapor when they have to be released but they're also stressing crucially that it will pose no risk to humans all the environment if we hear different we will let you know we've heard of larry petra said and he's a u.n. expert on chemical safety he joined the chorus of voices admitting that there is real concern at what's happening at this japanese plant tonight. problem is actually very serious because we're talking could be possible destructions of the chemical plants and also the atomic store stations and as to the chemical plant

evidently we are having in mind did possible come terminations. of the air and the land was the toxic chemicals which my. flowing to the cultural products and as two d. nuclear power stations i have to say dead the japanese nation became very sensitive to the problem of the radioactive pollution oh it can tear gas going back to name the forty five we went to first america not only forms had been exploded all over hiroshima and nagasaki. dr robert jacobs is a professor of nuclear string culture they have a shame of peace institute he offered some reassurance he says nuclear power

stations are programmed to shut down during major earthquakes. well when the cooling system fails as apparently happened in one of the fukushima plants there should be other systems that other cooling systems that then kick in so in theory this is the kind of safety procedures that will avert any kind of any kind of event any kind of nuclear event but of course one system can fail and other systems can fail as well so what happens with that with a clearly dangerous is that these reactors have shut down so they're no longer generating electricity but the cores remain very very hot and so those courts need to be cool and if the core if the cooling systems fail then the temperature of the cores can rise and that can lead to a variety of different sorts of incidents in which radiation may be released in the environment these plants are triggered to shut down when. you start to tap it over a certain level so the the automatic and quick shutdown of the plant is the first

safety stop the second safety step is the redundancy of procedures such as calling procedure so that if there is a failure there will be a secondary system that they look in so that no system is relied on a lot when you. put it off that quake struck today we managed to speak to two witnesses of it who were in tokyo when it hit you know it's a huge ask you can ask him to talk you know. she said don't talk to your. computer quite a long time at all you know about the lack of. however. if you should do so i want you to know what you're going to be in south africa to sell and four hundred. and we're still not clear how much damage it is that we've heard there was a you know only because the cost is on around of usually it is announced forty

seven people are already killed we expect this number of really increase them dramatically usually you know you expect it stops you know people you know using side effects but one can use a couple of minutes though and then it continuously several times in one hour or so . because i mean. we are not so you know you have learned about it and they think so pervy area actually the place it is him to experience the same types of. years ago and the japanese government don't really expose works that we can see of us is. so last time was one thing seventy eight so actually happens i was expecting i believe central government and local governments in that region was very. well if you bring

up today then again on the terrible events the official number killed by this tsunami in japan is now three hundred seventy five that is a figure of a which sadly even most optimistic suggest will rise dramatically over the coming hours and days of the huge wave was caused by the biggest earthquake in the country's history it may hit a point nine ereka scale cars buildings even passenger trains were swept away in its way helpless against. tsunami the capital tokyo was also affected millions were hit by power cuts and its transit system came to a complete halt we heard reports though nonetheless that people were relatively calm i guess they were used to this kind of thing they have to train for it every year and. it seems that people were relatively calm they took it in the stride best they could we're also hearing tonight that a new quake has happened in the last hour that measured six point six on the richter scale we're hearing it's caused the city skyscrapers to shake once again

awfully frightening times for the people or perhaps most worrying now is the damage caused to the fukushima nuclear plant is the northeast authorities being worried about that for the past few. didn't automatically slightly like it should have been there was a problem with its cooling system which meant one of the reactors there is overheating and the pressure inside the reactor has been rising for the past few hours it's raised fears of radiation legally wrong today. civilians living nearby within a two kilometer radius was told that they had to evacuate and then also people living a few kilometers on from others well we're told that they should stay indoors and listen to the t.v. and radio japan's nuclear safety agency though saying tonight to try and alleviate this problem and to alleviate that pressure inside the containment vessel where the during which holds it was really in place in case there is an accident they'll have

to release of radioactive vapor into the atmosphere but they're also stressing that it poses no risk to humans all the environment pointing out that you have fifty five reactor is providing a third of the nation's electricity. well those little warning that an earthquake of this size will hit the pacific was spoke of a city to itself from the center of a tsunami research he says it's not surprising as there is a long way to go before an effective earthquake alert system is in place it's a big disaster and it was no question there were never just like that happens we all want to see what can be done more to different things to predict tsunamis are very severe a natural phenomenon there was a lot can be done in terms of the population or all over probably but sometimes for too long a forecast we develop into a lot of work a system that is part of the efficiency one running the other part a very important part is how to propagate is in for lease not to depart and that is

a bit difficult task especially for the case law in japan it's not only astronomy we've said we're probably hitting japan only our twenty fifteen minutes after the earthquakes which was the all in nature warning for this people in the nearest coldest. project is director of international seismological center in london he also admits there's little that can be done to offer advance warning of massive quakes like we saw today. prediction of earthquakes. it's still there. it's it's not an operational method i'm afraid although everybody believes there are people either neutral. or platform mark from being able to do it and the seismology as a science is only one hundred years or so. doing to expect to be able to do it it's not a matter of being prepared to predict the it's

a matter of being prepared to withstand earthquakes and you know you well in the. tsunami in japan is suffering from right now here's is very difficult to deal with years because the tsunami travels very fast and the earthquake was in the vicinity or should be news caused so they only had three minutes to respond only it is very difficult. space expert professor smith told r.t. thinks a joint british and russian system where two spacecraft studied the atmosphere for more they could be the key to preparing for these events. what we're looking for is the signal signatures in the on the spill which are precursors to earthquake phenomena and volcanic eruption phenomena the main damage from an earthquake is not the actual earthquake itself it's usually the fires and. that sort of thing that happened after the earthquake and you can prevent a lot of that if you know if you know things like to turn off the gas mains to turn

off the electricity to reduce the likelihood of fire and just to prepare people for you know the likelihood of an earthquake so you'll save a lot of lives that way and you will reduce the the the impact so we can't prevent earthquakes and we will lose a lot of infrastructure the local authority in that area would take action and they might have up to ten days notice that there's a very high chance that there's going to be an earthquake in that area. well as you plan to deal with the aftermath of the biggest earthquake in its history we're now hearing have been reporting that another strong aftershocks in the center of the country more than a hundred miles away from tokyo scientists say tonight it's measured six point six on the richter scale there's been no reports of major damage so far but skyscrapers did shake for the second time today seeing those pictures on your screen right now that horrendous tsunami hit so many areas there up to ten meters high in places

near the epicenter caused so much damage three hundred seventy five people were killed and that's an army that's the northeast of the country earlier today cars buildings passenger trains were swept away in its wake the fuck a shame a nuclear plant in the northeast officials they're worried about pressure inside the reactor that's been rising it fell to shut down properly mostly as we're hearing did ok it has raised fears the will of a nuclear radiation leak although japan's nuclear safety agency saying tonight quote there is no immediate risk to humans all the environment of course we will keep you fully up to date with what's happening here on the r.t. international news channel from moscow. if. i gave up is
