i don't. really believe. we. have explosion out there for because she got atomic power plant in japan triggered fears of possible nuclear fallout after the country's worst to earthquakes robards two hundred thousand people living near the plant a big move for fear of radiation. japan's in times of foreign students as the problem is in a desperate search for survivors after the huge tsunami swept away entire villages and submerged towns and large areas around seven hundred people are confirmed dead as a figure expected to go places that thousands are still unaccounted for. in other news the afghan president says nato and american troops should leave his country just

days after how many cars on his cousin as well as nine children collecting firewood killed it's tough for you lots of times. in the arab league has reportedly backs and no fly zone over libya has made unanimous calls for gadhafi to go. international news live from moscow this is aussie with me thanks for joining us on the world's news is dominated by the earthquake and tsunami disaster in japan emergency crews under engineers are desperately working at the nuclear plant in the tsunami hit north to prevent a possible meltdown after a powerful blast of the facility the explosion was caused by a stay in the cooling system the roof collapsed but the reactor itself. and

affected workers were injured in the blast almost two hundred thousand people living within a twenty kilometer radius have been moved from their homes with fear of contamination through patients who were at a local hospital just three kilometers from the plans when the blast happened have tested positive for radiation exposure and meanwhile just in from news agencies as japan's nuclear safety board has reported an emergency at a second reactor. eight point nine magnitude earthquake also triggered a massive tsunami was trying to power is closed and cause destruction far inland over seven hundred people are confirmed dead and one town almost ten thousand residents remain unaccounted for ten meter high waves washed away washed away entire villages and submerged other towns and a vast area. and a possible radiation leak from the fukushima nuclear plant remains the biggest concern i have about it isn't talking forty. there have actually been around

a hundred aftershocks or over that and are in fact powerful one it was centered around fukushima district measuring six on the magnitude scale so quite a large aftershock centered and it turned out on the football shima district which is where the new nuclear reactor explosion took place in theory is a potential nuclear fallout we have heard since that there was no damage done in that explosion to the reactor itself if there was then radiation would have been leaking in that was the initial fear in fact when they found cesium and radioactive iodine on the outside of silis he probably heard that hasn't been any damage that explosion to the reactor and radiation levels have since decreased and so much so in fact that. the orthodoxies have been able to release some of the pressure inside the reactor because that's still very high indeed and that's still a concern it's still very hot in there as well and they've been through at least

seem to release the pressure and they've been able to do that since and without affecting the radiation levels everyone is concerned about the people near fukushima near these nearly explosion at this nuclear reactor the concern now is that spread of radiation there has been vacuum ration of the twenty kilometer radius as a precaution because radiation that he's in the air on has an earlier today the levels of radiation there were if you stood outside for an hour next to the plant then you would have absorbed as much radiation if you would normally in the year also another class is. under and emerged state emergency as well with residents in the vicinity being evacuated to three kilometer radius there you back it one hundred in ten across the radius they have been told to stay inside it's still the radiation it is very prevalent in those areas a once in a twenty kilometer radius around the fukushima power plant number one. they're now

being treated for radiation sickness receiving heidi not that they have got sickness but it just as a precaution and if need be they're being quarantined also in the sense of the power plant number two in that same area of focus. people are being told to stay indoors within that and surveyed it's not also been told. given some advice should they have been outside in the should cover their face trying to avoid breathing in any of the radiation so trouble in mouth and nose cover up any exposed areas of skin and also when they get inside from coming in from the outside the nation wash and scrub themselves thoroughly and avoid drinking tap water because the fear is that that is also contaminate since japan relies heavily on nuclear energy and with millions of people now left without power russia is offering to help moscow says it's now working away stairs says following a request from tokyo peter out of a hazardous health. russia's stepped into the breach with. japan used to

draw thirty percent of all of its energy from nuclear power stations. being suffered terrible. to the situation in fukushima and of course the situation of other power plants around the country following the earthquake and tsunami russia has pledged one hundred fifty thousand tons of liquid gas to. bring out. of coal to the country there's also the possibility of providing electricity directly to japan underwater cable which links the two countries prime minister vladimir putin and russia will do everything in its power to help its neighbor to the east. this is a great tragedy for japan corresponding ministries and. plans for how to help the neighbors we need to do everything to increase fuel to japan because of a slump in energy generation. second we need to continue monitoring the situation

in the russian far east as closely as possible or just talk to the local region the situation there is normal from the point of view of people's housing and radioactivity. the situation must be closely monitored. following this explosion at the fukushima plant on saturday there has been concerns that we could see a full scale meltdown that would put radioactive material into the air now the situation is being monitored very very closely in russia's far east this is due to the close proximity but also that due to that close proximity there is a risk if there was clear material being put into the atmosphere changing weather changing winds could take any perspective nuclear warheads russia's far east and cause problems there so that situation is being looked at as it stands at the moment the radiation levels normal in the far eastern. russia is being looked after

by russia's nuclear watchdog to make sure that nothing untoward is going on there to make sure that the people on the ground they are receiving all the correct information they glued to the radios they're glued to their televisions and artesia to get a truer gauge the situation on the ground inside the us we're only six hundred miles away from fukushima and residents of the city of usual supply lines capital of the region can't believe their eyes they are literally glued to their t.v. screens i want it or ingle latest news as these happening so close to their borders or before they were afraid shortly after friday's earthquake and tsunami in japan that there could be a chain reaction which could lead to a natural disaster he change the society in reach and what they're afraid of now is a risk of radioactive contamination despite we're not in immediate vicinity. six hundred miles is not a lot at all for

a radioactive cloud the local emergency is ministry keeps coming down people saying that they should not panic that they should do spend there but we can't as usual though it's not really a relieve people keep calling them it's really hard to get through been trying for more than two hours when we finally could speak to a representative of the ministry is that the only question people keep asking over and over again what preventive measures they should take to avoid contamination and where they could get their personal geiger counters to measure radioactive the levels of radiation now emergency officials say that they will update locals on the latest and that there will be enough time to evacuate if necessary. times for fear because she planned has not truly raised warring perlozzo with the chernobyl meltdown in ukraine in one nine hundred eighty six however assays that exterior shots came clear explains that the two explosions are quite a different nature. obviously this white smoke coming from the reactor building is

the only ovies resemblance which we can see between the two incidents twenty five years ago chernobyl and at the fukushima plant now days that's where the similarities and the situations are basically different simply because what caused the what caused them you know the the fallout internal was caused by a massive human error what is happening now in japan is of course the result of a natural disaster the earthquake happened which happened on friday and the other big difference and this is a very significant difference between the two events is how the government has been responding to the to the events obviously it's twenty five years ago the government of the soviet government kept most of the information secret from the general population in russia as well as from the rest of the world and went on a massive secret complaint to just safeguard this information and this was this is

something which we cannot see today because the japanese government even though we have conflicting reports coming from the island of what's happening there and we have no certainty of what caused this loss still the japanese government ordered the evacuation of people from the surrounding areas at the fukushima region because this didn't happen twenty five years ago when fifty four thousand residents of the town of keep it next to the chernobyl power plants were kept in the town for more than twenty four hours and this of course caused some damage to them the people were subjected to a great deal of radioactive threat coming from the open reactor course these mistakes were learned the mistakes bite is made by the soviet government and this is what the japanese government is hopefully trying to avoid right now but oh. clearly as the situation is in trouble and

a fukushima one are different despite what we can see in the pictures from the japanese television the mill down itself the nuclear meltdown itself is a very scary thing for all scientists as i've been calling it their worst nightmare ever indeed this down is all about the core of the reactor going into an uncontrollable state and that's causing a nuclear chain reaction first and then a powerful steam explosion like it happened internal this is like a rodeo it's trying to control a crazy horse because nobody knows whether you would be able to get the kit reactor back under control or not this did not happen internal this was a result of a failed experiment when the scientists when the personnel of the power station tried to lower the output of the reactor and then bring it to a temporary halt when the reactor started behaving in an uncontrollable fashion some of the personnel pressed the emergency brake button as we can as we can call it and just forty nine seconds since the start of the experiment the reactor

exploded and that caused the full out and the contamination of great areas all along the former u.s.s.r. so obviously as we've been hearing from the japanese authorities right now the reactor stays intact it's not been damaged according to the authorities and. we hopefully think that such contamination as it happened twenty five years ago in chernobyl would be avoided this time but of course we have to wait and see what happens next with all this developing story. of economic. disaster. i simply call it gender parity so to do you know pretty terrible situation on the financial crisis to clear things trouble really calm before the crisis is over the last two or three days and just time to plan on being the first queen just going to hand even how to explain if you can do

is just the financial you take the stage rising the impact will be significant but i hope it's actually nice didn't need to be called the specifics no exhausted in the question because they really don't use exhausted easy it lots of tomorrow you didn't need oh he's just going to cost the lives in crises of oil in hollywood studios and also if you guys do he's going to exaggerate these kinds of damaging you think don't do what we call money but i'm pretty sure you're just not going to cause a lot of the parties on crises. and cleveland a sociology professor at temple university in tokyo says the japanese people's preparation and the reaction of the ground as the ground truth needs them. it was pretty compelling i mean this was a quake at. least two or three minutes and it just continued it was really strong

and we were really quite amazed that. the level of the force and they just continued and as i look out the window i can see the trees and the lights all swinging just partly to the ground kind of dancing i do think though that japan is one of the part of all the advanced countries in terms of preparing for its quakes because they are catastrophic those plates the one nine hundred twenty three consecrates the earthquake in kobe act in one thousand nine hundred ninety three and because of that the building codes are a place from one nine hundred eighty nine down in particular there really strict standards for construction and as a result the buildings are very very stable there's a remarkable lack of structural damage and this entire continent plain region given the level of this earthquake was a very serious earthquake. in this area we really wanted to actually get down much convenience and it was certainly scary but it was much less damage and injury than

might of been the case that japan did not have such announced construction you know the trains were working it was an entirely say the mood of people was worried but it was very stable course there was nobody no crime or anything like people were extremely i mean sensitive an empathetic to other people a real kind of communitarian kind of attitude towards one another and i'd find out to be one of the more admirable aspects of the society where people are very concerned about people. a reminder of the story dominating the news this hour work is underway at fukushima number one nuclear plant two hundred fifty kilometers north of tokyo to prevent a possible meltdown offer a powerful blast at the facility it was reportedly caused by failure in the pumping system and not the reaction itself which was undamaged a twenty kilometer radius of regulations and has been imposed but the latest reports from japan say that people have exposed to radioactivity at

a facility big lie you told how it says it's been told by japan that radiation levels near the plant have fallen in recent hours five is adequate was the biggest since records began in japan a massive tsunami that followed the tremors spread destruction thought and killing at least seven hundred people almost ten thousand remain unaccounted for. to other news now going president hamid karzai says nato and the u.s. troops told their operations in the country it's comes just days after nine children collecting firewood and karzai is cousin were killed in two separate the time it's always daniel bushell has the details. the afghan president hamid karzai as you say was furious at what he sees as a spate of killings by nato troops he gave a speech his exact words were the u.s. and nato i asked to stop operations on our soil he made the call as part of an

emotional speech highly critical of the organization and its allies as a whole comes after visiting survivors of an air raid in the east of the country where he saw. the legal for a one year old child amputated near actually cried on seeing those scenes just a few days ago nato troops killed because i was cousin in another night raid in kandahar and that follows just recently nato admitting it killed nine children in a similar raid and just before that another sixty five civilians afghan officials alleged were killed an investigation is under way there the spokesman for the afghan president clarified that because i meant that civilian deaths should stop but this is being seen as a highly critical and embarrassing moment for nato that's what's being discussed here in brussels at the moment nato faces an increasing bairagi of criticism not only from its own allies but in afghanistan as well the mood of the population

already highly until merican is turning toxic it wants civilian this to stop the population says that it's actually calm on the borders where they believe the real danger is and not in villages throughout the country need to refrain from officially responding to cause those comments here but off the record american officials have said they are very angry at what they see as a public slap in the face for nato and its allies. perhaps it's from the u.k. great stuff they walk or alicia says he expects the afghan president to demand the complete with a trial of the foreign troops from his country. it would hardly be surprising given what he just experienced but to be honest what he just experienced is what. experiencing over the last ten years all war and occupation. a moment too

soon if he is calling nato and u.s. troops to get out i think just today actually news coming out of washington they're looking for a good time scale for staying in afghanistan where you really do have to say this problem hasn't been solved by military means in a decade how long are we looking or are we looking out to the nearest twenty years we should i think really be clear you know there is no military solution to the situation but the solution lies in the hands of the people in the west. you know we're looking for one. the arab league has boxed the idea of a no fly zone over libya after an emergency summit member states agreed to ask the un security council to impose the restriction the u.k. and france have been pushing that idea but have so something else to went on international backing the arab league and the he launched colonel gadhafi to step down confusion and chaos continues in the way i made the cost and shift in the

balance of power i see that some of those in the rebel stronghold of the closing where people feel this and help will arrive too late. to the east and that the uprising in eastern libya is like most of it's his disappearance young impulsive and reverent to the regime you don't think these twenty two year old who had never held the gun before let alone the news that i just would not let father show me how to use it a few weeks ago because i'm ready to die for my country and many in gaza proclaim their readiness to sacrifice their lives for their liberation struggle now the security crack trick is becoming a real prospect as the pro-government forces adds closer a bloodbath seems all good and avoidable international deliberation thing more to do not believe an uprising has been going on for so long that many people in got the no longer hold that's how they will come and start their killing to now on

their last hold as the gadhafi forces are closing in on the battle cd friday prayers in gaza you are the most passionate so far. city of residence turning their palms to the skies i think many homes would have been declared a no fly zone by now. as more coffins arrive from the frontlines high spirits have given way to sense of abandonment after several weeks of encouraging statements from western capitals many here feel deceived. to see that photo of mr obama we expect that he'll. got the ground. looking for liberty for the peoples you look for money first you got your money first. the little group would kill every day everywhere in while it is these are just a mobilizing their best resources to boost morale this song has become an unofficial

him of his rebellious youth cause to tolerate. yes. but. to. get duffy preying upon his people is just one of many themes doesn't mochel caricaturist have adopted for their visual a fanciful intro to exhibit like this one are now on display in almost every rebel controlled c.g. i believe the leader has unexpectedly unleashed unprecedented creativity in his people. as if he had their own new signs of people leaving garvey partially because somehow i really finding themselves in a catch twenty two situation living now may be seen as betraying the opposition staying for too long may lead to persecution later on it's very hard to say what the balance of forces is how many people are for me how many are against him and

indeed whether that situation is very many people within libya have turned. these guys because of a few that it's a repressive government they're turning now following the examples in tunis here in egypt to seeking freedom of speech for me freedom of organization and wanting a democratic form of government and yet ironically it wasn't bin ghazi that more margaret duffy began his quest for power forty two years ago of a young revolutionary he overthrew the king in a bloodless coup in because. also liberation and then to tyranny those who oppose him now even younger and demanding the same things but that's where many fear the story parallels my than doing some work archy been ghazi levy and. and staying with the rest across the arab world and police in yemen have
