from funds to. these stunts on t.v. dot com. an explosion of the much call plant in japan triggered fears of possible nuclear fallout after the country's worst tell the earthquake almost two hundred thousand people living nearby are being moved as fifteen people have been confirmed expires to radiation with miffy of the problems i just second to react. to problems in tiny difference from as has been mobilized in a desperate search for survivors after the tsunami swept away the entire villages and submerged towns and knowledge ever is around seven hundred people are confirmed dead and figure expected to rise with dozens are still unaccounted for.

news the afghan president says nato and american troops should leave his country just days after her leave karzai is cousin as well as nine children collecting probably killed in separate u.s. a tux. the arab league has reportedly backs a no fly zone over libya and the unanimous calls for kentucky to go. international news live for most of this is all she was need of all of us thanks for joining us on the world's news is dominated by the earthquake and tsunami disaster in japan emergency crews and engineers are desperately working at the nuclear clones in the tsunami hit north to prevent a possible meltdown of a powerful blast of the percent. the explosion was caused by

a thoroughly in the cooling system there of collapsed but the reactor itself wasn't a part of it although it was were injured in the blast almost two hundred thousand people living within a twenty kilometer radius several moved from their homes for fear of contamination there was not a people are reported to have been exposed to radiate near the facility needs ages also say japan's nuclear safety body has reported an emergency at a second reactor at last friday's eight point nine magnitude earthquake also triggered a massive tsunami or strength of hers closed and cause destruction far in lyle's over seven hundred people out of there and dad one town almost ten thousand residents remain unaccounted for ten meter high waves that waterway entire villages and submerged other towns and vast areas. in other words a possible radiation leak from this because she will need their plant remains the biggest concern either blown out as and talk or farsi. there have actually be

around a hundred aftershocks and in fact powerful one it was centered around fukushima district measuring six on a magnitude scale so quite a large aftershock centered and it turned out focus shima district which is where the new nuclear reactor explosion took place what potential nuclear fallout we have heard since that there was no damage done in that explosion to the reactor itself if there was a limb radiation would have been leaking and that was the initial fear in fact when they found cesium and radioactive iodine. on the outside of the silla see but we've heard there hasn't been any damage that exposure to the reactor and radiation levels have since decreased and so much so in fact that. the authorities have been able to release some of the pressure inside the reactor because that's still very high indeed met still a concern it's still there. hot in there as well and they need to release the one

to release the pressure and may be able to do that since and without affecting the radiation levels everyone's concerned about the people near focal shimon near the nearly explosion at its nuclear reactor because cern now is the spread of radiation there has been evacuations of the twenty kilometer radius as a precaution because radiation is in the air one reason is earlier today the levels of radiation there were if you stood outside for an hour next to the plant then it would have absorbed as much radiation if you would you normally see me here also another plant is. under emerged state emergency as well with residents in of synergy being evacuated to three kilometer radius they're being back in one within ten o'clock so radius they're being told to stay inside still the radiation . is very prevalent in those areas that are the ones in the twenty kilometer radius around the machine mirth powerplant number one they're now being treated for

radiation sickness receiving hide in not that they have got sickness but it just as a precaution and if need be they're being quarantined also in this at that power plant number two in the same area fukushima people are being told to stay indoors within that radius not also being told. given some advice should they have been outside and they should cover their face trying to avoid breathing in any of the radiation so covered in mouth the nose cover up any exposed areas of skin also when they get inside from coming in from the outside and they should wash scrub themselves thoroughly and avoid drinking tap water because the fear is that that is also contaminates it's. japan relies heavily on nuclear energy and with millions of people now left without power russia is offering to help as it's now working on ways to assist following a request from tokyo oh she's paid to all of a house with details. russia has stepped into the breach with energy aid for japan

used to draw thirty percent of all of its energy from nuclear power stations and that of course has been terrible. to the situation in fukushima and of course the situation at other plants around the country following the earthquake and tsunami russia has pledged one hundred fifty thousand tons of liquid gas to japan as well as stepping up. its trade of coal to the country there's also the possibility of providing electricity directly to japan through an underwater cable which links the two countries prime minister vladimir putin has said that russia will do everything to help its neighbor to the east. this is a great tragedy for. our corresponding ministries and to work out plans for how to help our eastern neighbors we need to do everything to increase supplies of 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 you are just talking in the region the situation there is normal from the point of view of people's housing and radioactivity nevertheless the situation must be closely monitored on a round the clock basis. following this explosion at the fukushima plant on saturday there has been concerns that we could see a full scale meltdown the. radioactive material into the air now the situation is being monitored very very closely in russia. this is due to the close proximity but also due to that close proximity there is a risk if there was. material being put into the atmosphere that a change in weather a change in wind could take any perspective nuclear cloud towards 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 east of. russia has been looked at as

a by russia's nuclear watchdog to make sure that nothing untoward is going on there to make sure that the people on the ground there are receiving all the correct information they glued to the radios they glued to their televisions and artie's a car to go to gauge the situation on the ground inside the us who are only six hundred miles away from fukushima and residents of the city of youzhny the capital of the region can't believe their eyes they are literally glued to their t.v. screens of what is whoring the latest news as these happening so close to their borders well 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 changed the society region but they're afraid of now is a result radioactive contamination is but 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 we can 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 right now emergency officials say that they will update locals on the latest and that there will be enough time to evacuate if necessary. the nuclear catastrophe of the plant has not true raise warring perlozzo with eternal will melt down and ukraine in one nine hundred eighty six however says that acts of their chests all clear explains that the two explosions are tried a different approach 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 i think car plants now days that's where the similarities and the situations are basically different simply because what's the cause of 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 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 islands off what's happening there and we have no certainty of what caused this last still the japanese government ordered the evacuation of people from the surrounding areas at the fukushima region as this didn't happen twenty five years ago when fifty four thousand residents of the town of tikrit next to the chernobyl power plants were kept in the south for more than twenty four hours and this of course caused some damage to them but people were subjected to a great deal of radioactive threat coming from the open reactor of course these mistakes were learned the mistakes by those made by the soviet government and this is what the japanese government is hopefully trying to avoid right now but clearly

as the situation. center local and fukushima one are different despite what we can see in the pictures from the japanese television the meltdown 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 our nuclear chain reaction first and then a powerful steam explosion like it happened in turn normal 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 have an internal this was a result of a failed experiment when the scientists when the person 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 personal prestige emergency brake parts and 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 fallout 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. and writing to her in the region in terms of. the whole. it seems a horrible irony that the japanese who were the first be attacked with a nuclear weapons would now also suffer from the hands of nuclear energy and we hope that it won't be like a noble in terms of how wide it will be spread because if it was an explosion

coming out of containment dome then it won't go as high as it did with chernobyl and so it won't spread so far but that means that the radiation will be a lot more intense in the actual area so it's good that they're evacuating but it's really not enough because the area is much larger that we're talking about that will be contaminated. and should jiao a professor of economics at the university have no say on believes the financial cost of friday's disaster will have consequences beyond japan. i think because there is already you know very terrible situation on the divine years of crises in struggle really carbon. pricing is over the last two or three years and it's time to join i'm here and basically just going to give me even harder it's very difficult do exist in france or you think it is the rising that you think will be significant but i hope it certainly didn't used to be called the dish no are you

just do it in the question because ok we don't use you just heard it lots of tomorrow in the middle east is going to cost the lives in crises of oil in other words you knows and also the disgusting here is going to exaggerate these kinds of damaging you don't know what we all know me but i am going to see where it is not going to cause it in nigeria or bunnies on cars just. cleveland sociology professor temple university in tokyo says the japanese people's preparation and reaction as the ground shook beneath them was exemplary. so there was pretty compelling i mean this was a quote that was the least two or three minutes and then just continued a really strong level and we were really quite amazed that the level of force definitely just continued and as i looked out the window i could see the trees and

the light pole swaying just proudly to the ground kind of dancing i do think though that japan is one of the board of all been advanced countries in terms of preparing for its quakes because they catastrophic earthquakes and i think twenty three counts of the code where you know ninety ninety three and because of that the building codes are from nights in eighty nine 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 contemplating region given the level of this earthquake was a very serious earthquake but in this area we were not actually flagged down so we really could be instead it was certainly scary but it was much less damage an injury than might have been the case that japan did not have such announced

construction that even though the trains were working it was an entirely safe people all those people worried whether it was very stable course it was no good no crime or anything like the people who were extremely i think sensitive and empathetic to other people a real kind of communitarian kind of attitude towards one another and i find out the one of the more admirable aspects that the society people are very concerned about people. just a reminder the story dominating the news this hour why because under way we're number one nuclear plant two hundred fifty kilometers north of tokyo to prevent a possible meltdown after a powerful blast of the facility it was reportedly caused by the pumping system and not the reactor itself which was undamaged a twenty kilometer radius of regulations or has been imposed but the latest reports from japan say that fifteen people have exposed to radiate serious here the facility. however says it's been told by japan that radiation levels near the

plough and have fallen in recent hours friday's earthquake was the biggest since records began in japan a massive tsunami that followed the tremors spread destruction thought inland killing at least seven hundred people almost ten thousand remain unaccounted for. the news now are going to president hamid karzai says nato and the u.s. troops told. country this comes just days after nine children collecting firewood and cars are eyes and cars eyes cousin were killed in two separate u.s. attacks. the afghan president hamid karzai as you say was furious at what he sees as a spate of killings by nato troops gave a speech his exact words were the u.s. and nato i asked to stop the 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 and get a to me actually cried on seeing those themes just a few days ago nato troops killed because i was cousin in another night raid in kandahar and follows just recently nato admitting he had killed nine children in a similar rate band 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 barrel of criticism not only from its own allies but in afghanistan as well the mood of the population already pylea and to american is turning toxic it wants civilian deaths to stop the

population says that it's actually come on the borders where they believe the real danger is and not in villages throughout the country and 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. and john reason assonance from the u.k. about a start of the war coalition says hot spots the outgoing president to demand the complete withdrawal of foreign troops from his country but would hardly be surprising given what he just experienced to be honest what he just experienced is what thousands and thousands of afghans are experiencing over the last ten years or war and occupation. a moment too soon appears calling for the 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 if this problem hasn't been solved by military means an attack are you how long overlooking are we looking at the nearest twenty years. should i think really be clear and i hope there is no military solution to the situation but the solution lies in the hands of the people in the west get their lives to get on with looking for one. they are of the the idea of a no fly zone over libya i'll turn emergency summit member states agree to ask the u.s. security council to impose the restriction the u.k. and france have been pushing that idea have so self else to win a firm international backing the arab league and the you won't count on conducting to step down because he calles continues and made the constant shifts in the parlance of power on his account of political reasons

a rebel stronghold of benghazi where people feel less and how it will arrive tonight. the annan abashed the uprising in eastern libya is like most of its base disciplines young impulsive and reverent to the regime like these twenty two year old who had never held the gun before but a long used it just doesn't look like my father showed me how to use it a few weeks ago i'm ready to die for my country and many in ghazi proclaim their readiness to sacrifice their lives for their liberation struggle now these heroic rhetoric is becoming a real prospect as the pro-government forces edge closer a bloodbath seems old with an avoidable international deliberations in what you do not believe in uprising have been going on for so long that many people in been got be no longer hold a gun how they will come and say that they're willing to allen our last hold as the gadhafi forces are closing in on the bad old phoebe friday prayers in gaza where

the most passionate so far. city residents turn their palms to the skies that many holes would have been declared and no fly zone by now. as more coffins arrive from the front line high spirits have given way to a sense of abandonment just several weeks of encouraging statements from western capitals many here feel deceived. to see mr obama really expect that. the of the mccarthy camp liberty for liberty for the people you look for money first you got your money first. the little people kill every day and every night everywhere he while in the cities arches them all the lies in their best resources to boost morale this song has become a non-official human of his rebellious you know card was very. yes because.

that's what. preying upon his people is just one of many themes doesn't local caricaturist have adopted for their visual a fanciful intro to exhibit like this one and now on display in almost every rebel controlled c.g.i. believe bin laden has unexpectedly unleashed unprecedented creativity in his people . as you have their own you'll signs of people leaving the partially because some i really finding themselves in a catch twenty two situation living now may be seen as betraying the opposition thing 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 changing many people within libya have turned to. these

government because very few that it's a repressive government where turning our following examples into syria egypt to seeking freedom of speech for me freedom of organization and wanting a democratic form of government yet ironically it was in bin ghazi that more and more and get out the began his quest for power forty two years ago a young revolutionary hero overthrew the king in a bloodless coup. it calls for liberation and an end to tyranny those who are both even now even younger and demanding this theme things but that's where many fear historic parallels are down there are the big guys the libya. starting with the rest across the arab world police in yemen have a time zone to government demonstrators two people were killed when police used to live bullets tear gas and water cannons to disperse protesters
