it. welcome back to our team will breaking news this hour the japanese emergencies ministry says that one of the country's a nuclear power going into a nuclear meltdown on the cooling systems atomic reactors have failed following friday's earthquake which was a eight point nine that is amid fears that radioactive material has already leaked out just to give you a reminder a state of emergency was declared out of the plant this is about two hundred miles

northeast of tokyo and that is after the a cooling system failed at the a nuclear reactor at the fukushima power plant now the. disaster right now and that's unfolding at the a power plant at the ministry saying that there is a possibility of a meltdown but this was a triggered by an eight point nine earthquake followed by a tsunami and now there is a nuclear option. that evacuation order was in effect for residents living within a mile of the plant again a state of emergency a nuclear emergency. declared by the trapped with these governments again breaking news japanese said nuclear safety commission official says a meltdown at the nuclear power plant is possible. it's now in the state of emergency at the plant. they're monitoring the levels of radioactive material

saumur reports saying that some of material had already leaked and this has yet to be reported in detail we just to remind you about why there is if this is a disaster this was triggered by an eight point nine quake that hit friday two forty six a local to. that's five forty six in. the north east coast of japan the effects have been felt all the way to tokyo the disaster casualties still going out the japanese government already have it having sent troops to quake hit areas and now it is a nuclear watch again breaking news this is to remind you of the japanese emergencies and ministry says that was one of the country's nuclear power plants might be going into a nuclear meltdown is to give you an idea of why that is happening at the cooling systems at the atomic reactors have failed and that is a result of friday's a massive eight point nine earthquake there are fears of radioactive material

having already leaked out a state of nuclear emergency has been declared at the plant those a living with about three thousand residents have been evacuated at least those a living by the a fukushima number one that power plant this is taken as a precaution but now there's breaking news that there is a possible meltdown at the nuclear power plant or that's a result of the cooling systems not working at the plant industry my view about what's happening in japan and eight point nine quake hit yesterday that's friday two forty six local time five forty six a g m t followed by a tsunami and nuclear nuclear watch after that the power plants in japan some automatically shut down some of in order to be shut down evacuations have been ordered as specially of those that have a nuclear emergency having been declared such as the fukushima number one that power plants the cooling reactors that the cooling has broken down and

therefore there is a danger of a meltdown again just some breaking news coming in details still coming in to us the japanese emergencies a ministry. says that one of the country's nuclear power plants might be going into a nuclear meltdown the cooling systems at the atomic reactors have failed and that is following a friday's massive earthquake there still travers being felt and there are also fears of the radioactive material has already leaked out details still coming in on the situation over there again a nuclear emergency has been declared there evacuations have taken place. about the latest that we have is about three thousand residents have been evacuated but. just to remind you again that the job japan's ministry emergency's

a ministry had said it seems nuclear safety commissioner lee had said that's a meltdown is possible at the a nuclear power plant in japan you fukushima number one reactor at least that was the first one that was where the nuclear emergency was declared evacuations were put in the fact so those living within a mile of the plant they were ordered to evacuate the area as a precaution but now we're just getting a breaking news information that there is a possibility of a meltdown at the thought because the a cooling systems have failed ok well of russia says that it is ready to help japan in dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake well moscow can draw on both of experience and coping with both natural and technological disasters our correspondents in ukraine alexi are szczesny who looks at the similarities of the sure noble disaster with what is currently happening and unfolding right now in

japan. they initially may seem very similar incidents but in reality they're pretty much different first of all because what is now happening in japan is indeed an aftermath. a natural disaster the earthquake what happened in chernobyl quarter of a century ago was a hundred percent manmade disaster and this is of course the essential difference the other difference is the the fact that the reactor in japan is one hundred times more powerful than the one and in fact the two stations the two power plants in the fukushima region. produce the world's biggest joint amount of energy and this means of course that this reactor which is under threat now is far more powerful than the one in the fourth nuclear power station which exploded twenty five years ago and also one of the differences is that the security system in japan at the power station is promising that should any. station at

a certain doom will cover the nuclear power station preventing any leaks into the atmosphere something which is of course missing in the soviet era the chernobyl station and that's why the whole really the whole continent basically suffered great consequences but at the same time we also heard that. basically the ultimatum system something. to the earthquake that most of the power stations across japan. and nobody knows whether this will be the case whether the secure system will work should any nuclear incident occur the worst case scenario is much more grave that what happened after the fallout according to several experts i've managed to have. already here in ukraine and some interviews on the internet as well basically because as i mentioned earlier the power station in japan is far more powerful than the one. this could lead to a serious contamination to a serious emission of radiation should anything should any accident any explosion

happened at the full. machine when you clear power station this according to some experts from the russian academy of sciences means that the whole of the russian far east some part of china and to a large extent to a korean peninsula may be affected by the possible radiation emission from this reactor in japan so far as we've heard the government is saying that the situation is under control and also we've heard assurances from the american scientists who are saying that right now the wind is blowing westward from japan so should any accident happen then the whole of the radioactive material would probably find itself in the middle of the pacific not in the russian mainland or china or korea or anywhere else but indeed the wind can't you can't you know can change any minute and obviously if something happens at the station this could be far far ten times more serious than what happened at your novel. ok well let's just to remind you

of the breaking news that nuclear safety commission has said that a meltdown to nuclear power plant is possible that they are watching the situation closely there has been just arrived evacuation that has been ordered that because there is a nuclear emergency at the plant you were looking at pictures of the daiichi power plant which as we know right now the latest data we have is the past nuclear safety commission says that a meltdown at the nuclear power plant is possible you're now looking at live pictures aerial shots of the plant that's as now in a danger of catastrophe. just once again it to remind you what you were looking at at the foot daiichi power plant fukushima number one power plant the cooling system had failed after the eight point nine earthquake that hit friday in the middle of the afternoon in the northeast of japan off the shore about one hundred thirty

kilometers it has been causing no widespread damage and after the earthquake struck a massive tsunami ensued and now it's on the nuclear other nuclear emergencies they're just keeping an eye on the nuclear power plants of japan and one in particular is in danger of a meltdown the cooling systems have broken down after the earthquake and are still not functioning as should now just to give you more information about what has been happening the official a number of deaths in japan has been now in the hundreds they're still confirming the number of casualties still being reported across the northeastern coast the eastern close tokyo has also been affected you are looking at pictures of the of fukushima number one our focus daiichi plant which is a very nuclear emergency where the today just right now a few minutes ago the nuclear safety commission of japan says that

a meltdown is possible. from. the author to see more author an anti a nuclear activists harvey wasserman told r.t. but the appliance in fukushima looks looks to be a weak link in a chain that coolies the situation into a worst case scenario. they may not have the capability of cooling this reactor. it would appears to be the case is that the batteries even a backup generators are not working and if that's the case then they're going to have to flood the reactor core and if they do that it's highly likely they'll be major radiation releases i've seen also and some of the reports indications that the pressure inside the containment is twice the design capability now that means that the only way they can prevent the containment from blowing is to release radiation outside the stacks that means that gases are going to go out

radiation is going to go out that's why they're evacuating people three thousand people is a lot of people to evacuate especially in a situation where the country is already under extreme stress so this is a serious situation one of the really worrisome things is that the eight point nine shock may have weakened all of the reactors and if they if that's weakened the reactors and this an aftershock or another earthquake could do substantially more damage this play by the way is forty years old it's a very old reactor and it's a double edged sword because number one it means it's weaker structurally and number two there's more radiation inside the reactor because it's accumulated over forty years this is this is about a worst case scenario. again i just remind you breaking news at this hour the japanese emergencies ministry says that one of the country's nuclear power plants might be going into a nuclear meltdown well we have our t.

correspondent. who is russia's far east what's the a situation right now. says you've sucked the japanese authorities and also nuclear safety commission in japan are reporting that a nuclear meltdown is highly possible that the two could seem up to one that is one hundred sixty kilometers north of japan's capital of tokyo there is another plant which is standing very close to focus the mate is now raising the toll honestly but bearing in mind the consequences the recent very hard that is similar radiation leak could happen at that plant only a group who also that is being registered the radiation levels are at one thousand times normal inside the reactor that we see not only so we have reports the radiation has been measured at more than eight times normal at feet and from the big a to main gate to that plant thousands of people have you know ready they

created is that we saw high that that could be a chain reaction and the second nuclear plant is very close to you could see my own little emergency situations to scale emergency has been officially declared a quiet but nuclear power plants across the country also radiation materials have been found near what we're seeing but we're now in the supply line region this is the closest point of russia to be at the center of the tragedy and of course local residents are put closely monitoring what is happening. in the country which is a neighboring and now that they're receiving reports about the possible radiation leak this is what i use most is boring the most because we are just several thousand miles away from that. probably. center where you can now down has been registered again as i accept these this is what local authorities from japan report but this information will has yet to be confirmed. ok thank you very

much but they do you know got sure what they're giving us an update on the she's now with the russia's far east thank you ok well that's just to remind you what's happening breaking news this hour the japanese emergencies ministry says that one of the country's a nuclear power plants might be going into a nuclear meltdown and the cooling systems out the atomic reactors have failed and this follows friday's massive earthquake of eight point man on the richter scale there are fears that radioactive material has already leaked out of both japan as the pad officials are monitoring the situation i just remind you why this is all unfolding the earthquake that hit japan at two forty six in the afternoon friday led to a massive tsunami and now there's a nuclear watch nuclear emergencies or fukushima power plant which you are looking at right now on your screens so there has been you know we will keep updating you

on that the situation there just breaking news coming in that there is a possibility of a valve down at that plant or do you prefer. the well off that starts use that i thought the interviews the unity or leave it to the head of the russian institute of space device engineering oh she asks the attack to sign or how a russian satellites can be used to help predict earthquakes like the one in japan . thank you for your time in the light of recent events in japan i can't help but ask are there any reliable systems that can forecast earthquakes and. i think we should divide this problem into two parts first are there reliable earthquake prediction systems i regret to say there is no way to predict with a high degree of accuracy say ninety percent of the occurrence of earthquakes in

this part of the world this is why we say that a problem is being studied by many establishment in many countries including this country in my institute the problem is yet to be solved secondly there is the issue of warning if we speak about certain consequences of an earthquake like tsunamis a huge oceanic way the rules towards a country's coast here we have some time lag and unlike hundreds and thousands of years ago when we were only able to forecast our predictor war and now we have modern equipment that lets us do that if we see a wave rise up in the ocean we can warn coast guard services to take certain measures properly speaking between three and five percent of country's g.d.p. is lost every year in the wake of various catechisms including major natural calamity yes of course the entire world community primarily the scientific and technological communities are working to have forecasting warning capability is when these cataclysms happen i mean the ones we are unable to start today like earthquakes hurricanes and other natural calamities which are linked for example to

outer space influences like solar storms or the falling of asteroids we can only forecast them with some or other degree of accuracy and try to issue a warning in order to minimize the consequences. you mentioned a time lag how big is the lack what is the menu and maximum the time governments have to evacuate as many people as possible. and that hasn't today there is absolutely no way to predict an earthquake in a particular place and therefore we have only a probability prediction involving complex research of many quake precursors and. in particular in two thousand and six we completed our internal research we offered it to the russian security council and got support and then we set up a network of monitoring stations on stock only among other things we monitored some earthquake precursors including i honest fear disturbances in two thousand and seven several hours before a quake and neville's unfortunately it was only one of the precursors in order to reach better probability say seventy percent we must examine several different

precursors cloud patterns and many other things including the behavior of the mastic animals such programmes are being worked out all over the world including those we're developing in particular we continue our work followed in instruction by the russian security council in two thousand and six since then we've been working following our own initiative which is also partially financed by the russian space agency as a result we've established a network of stations in the russian far east to monitor the eye on a sphere and predict earthquakes in particular this devastating earthquake in japan which are now witnessing was peaking already as the foreshocks had begun on the eighth of march one of magnitudes of seven point two so we see the shocks following one another all of them with magnitudes greater than five the latest one being nearly nine this is indeed a disaster however we can say that seven hours prior to the quake in tokyo we could see the precursor a change in the disturbance concentration the ionosphere over japan but we could not tell exactly when it was going to happen either in seven hours as

a did or in an hour or in three days. how are you planning to. activity satellite forecasts how long before it works. at this point we're using a grant we want and europe and by we i mean the cooperation of several institutes which we hope will let us have a comprehensive picture of earthquake precursors which we can process with our many detectors after which will be able to predict more reliably so far this task has not been solved anywhere in the world either in terms of technicality or technology we are cooperating. with several countries the experience the russian federation in the former sort of a unit of game should be used by the international community so we're working with a grant from europe i think that after these disasters japan will be interested in uniting our common effort in forecasting such as asteroids. as a design engineer of where nothing can you put it into simple words for us how does it work. it's simple we monitor through satellites that fly over places and

question the signals from the satellites we analyze the signal delays was less attacked how long it was the way to the i.r.s. fear which then lets us forecast the extent of its disturbance the correlation is very clear unfortunately we can't yet predict when more or fewer shocks will occur in what they're magnitudes will be the second question concerns precursors of such followed problems a tsunami is the relevant systems are more or less worked out it all started during the peak of the cold war at that time scientists needed to convince politicians that the united rescue system was needed as a result the usa in the soviet union later joined by canada and france we had an international rescue system an outer space coast. this system a sea of more than thirty thousand lives the first instance being in ninety two when the soviet union one of the unspoken competition to be the first to launch a rescue satellite and see if human lives the first rescued were canadian ambulance aircraft pilots who tried to find an aircraft in british columbia that had crashed and cannot be found the father of a pilot had died in the crash hired

a small private aircraft which also crashed but luckily had became that the first soviet rescue satellite detected. what are the advantages of the system you are developing in comparison to its competitors was made yet i would not mention advantages although it's clear that our system gives a very accurate picture as i mention in the two cases of earthquakes in israel in the recent one in japan this korea let us work with a complex approach while we are monitoring only one predictor i honest fear disturbance of the ground will let us monitor many. cursors as to why the european community chose us perhaps they were convinced that the work we already done meets the highest demands of european science. and according to estimates can we expect quakes in the region and what direction move it's not he had. a lot of things indeed it's very hard to predict the series of quakes we've been monitoring with magnitudes ranging from seven to nine in all more than five tells us about

a very serious process is taking place in earth's crust in this series of quakes may repeat over a rather long period of time it's been more than twenty four hours already and it's impossible to predict when they will start even through the precursors we're watching while we can predict a beginning of a process we can't predict it's and even theoretically. thank you for sharing your thoughts thank you. yes my name is daniel smith this is julius on we're here to make a short presentation about the wiki leaks project. the first step in the fourth decade is to get information out about the real world. to him
