let. it. it's bloody priggish about atomic power plants in japan attributes good possible nuclear fallout for the country it was set up way almost two hundred thousand people living nearby lives as fifteen people have been confirmed but it is true that you feel you can't because as a second reactor. the present time to transport has been organized in a desperate search for survivors are to be huge tsunami swept by entire villages and submerged tons and large areas around seven hundred people are confirmed to get expected to rise with some of them just an unaccountable. that is nothing is the

sound of the afghan president says later on american troops should leave his country just days after hunted because of them as well as not intruding collect firewood were killed in separate u.s. attacks. on the arab league has reportedly box and no fly zone over libya a major unanimous course will conduct a blog. this is also you having to live from moscow and the world's news is dominated by the earthquake and tsunami disaster in japan emergency crews and engineers are desperately working at a new clip launched in the tsunami hit north to prevent a possible meltdown after a powerful blast at the facility the explosion was caused by a failure in the cooling system people living within a twenty kilometer radius have been moved from their homes for fear of

contamination made while at least fifteen people have already been exposed to radioactivity near the facility a second emergency has now been declared as a second reactor at fukushima. point nine magnitude earthquake also triggered a massive tsunami. was trying to pounce coast and cause destruction far in life over seven hundred people are confirmed dead and one town almost ten thousand residents remain unaccounted for or were you. just in the past few hours there's been another strong earthquake six point two magnitude with the epicenter around one hundred eighty kilometers from the japanese kind of talk talk which closes down before much closer than before and actually correspondent all over but it is in the city where he says he was woken up by a tremors during the night. actually the city is still shaking or being a number of aftershocks just this morning even one the last one about twenty minutes ago the whole room was shaking as i walked downstairs the line if things

were shaking and it's very hard to actually walk in a straight line you're swaying and enjoying a nightmare and couple of aftershocks so strong in fact that you were up and i could actually hear the room creaking and things falling from the roof outside so the city is still experiencing aftershocks nonetheless actually inflicting damage on the city now and from what i've seen that there's very little surface damage here but the transport infrastructure is definitely still suffering when trying to arrange transport now to sendai to the epicenter where that earthquake hit plays ago. all the trains none of the trains going to the north of the country they're not working and they're still very unsure of what actual transport links they can run with all these are shots still happening so even as far away as tokyo still suffering the after effects fifteen people so far who were at the plant that exploded yes they have been affected by the radiation is spilled out into the

atmosphere and local authorities fear that that money number could actually rise to one hundred sixty as they actually now analyze the exposure of that leak or that we know of anchorage from the area around the fukushima number one power plant where there is a number of reactors are still on high alert yes they one of the reactors it's loaded. authorities are playing down the fears of a nuclear meltdown however they're still on high alert a number of other reactors at that fukushima number one plant and number two plant now now because that pressure is still very very high inside a number of the reactors and they're having to really let out its steam and obviously in doing so radiation team which is building to the radiation in the atmosphere and also a little cooling system actually and one of the reactors at that second plant was knocked out. again this morning and with the other plant with the other reactors is cooling function is not working actually using pumping in seawater even around the reactor to try and cool its they've evacuated two hundred thousand people now

handing out i had seen these people and you have coming out of those affected areas because that's what's used to treat the radiation explosion well i'm certain rescue operation now is an absolutely massive on a massive scale it's still searching for survivors let's do non interest broad entire town out of the pacific coast of japan and they've got navy ships out in the ocean sift through that they predict which is on a vast scale they're going through every little bit to check for survivors they say they've already found three thousand people that rescued them from underneath buildings and answered every bit already that the police are saying actually that they fear that nine hundred people have died they fear that number could rise as. well and the click is that there are thousands of people still missing accounting why entire towns whipped away school you know it's and recruit ten thousand people

they're still unaccounted for so the search and rescue mission is still very much ongoing. by relies heavily on nuclear energy and with no loads of people are left without power russia is offering to help also says it's now working a ways following a request from top where arsons pulls out of the hospital's hours. russia's stepped into the breach with aid for japan japan used to draw thirty percent of all of its energy from nuclear power stations and that of course has been suffered terrible. to the situation in fukushima and of course the situation at other power 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 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 japan so i would like 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 the second we need to continue monitoring the situation in the russian far east as closely as possible i've just talked to the local authorities in the region the situation there is normal from the kind 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 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 of course the close proximity but also close proximity there is

a risk if there was. material being put into the atmosphere that a change in weather and a change in wind could take any prospective perceptive 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 east. was being 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 after the gauge the situation on the ground inside. were only six hundred miles away from fukushima and residents of the city of usually the capital of the region can't believe their eyes they are literally glued to their t.v. screens a moratorium latest news as the bees 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 heating the society reaching what they're afraid of now is a risk of 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 margins his 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 now emergency officials say that they will update locals on the

latest and that there will be enough time to evacuate if necessary. they need clear terms for both the power plant was not sure raised a warning prose with. the ukraine in ninety one to six however that exterior shots to clear explains that the two explosions are of quanta different. obviously this white smoke coming from the reactor building is the only ovis resemblance which we can see between the two incidents twenty five years ago to nobble and at the fukushima power 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 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 to a massive secret complain to just save guard this information and this was this is something which we're going to 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 loss still the japanese government ordered the evacuation of people from the surrounding areas at the fukushima region but this didn't happen twenty five years ago when fifty four thousand residents of the town of people next to the chernobyl car plants were kept

in the south for more than twenty four hours and this of course caused some damage to them that people were subjected to a great deal of radioactive threat coming from the open reactor of course these mistakes were learned the mistakes by that made by the soviet government and this is what the japanese government this hopefully trying to avoid right now but. clearly if the situation is internal and if 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 chernobyl this is like a rubio it's trying to control a crazy horse because nobody knows whether you would be able to get the can react back under control or not this did not happen in chernobyl 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 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 your novel would be avoided this time but of course we'll have to wait and see what happens next with all this developing story. and. whole says

over. the last thing to happen in japan. it seems a horrible irony that the japanese who were the first 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 by 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 at the moment it's really not enough because the area is much larger than which talking about that will be contaminated. and professor of economics at the university of nottingham believes the financial cost of friday's disaster will have consequences beyond. what john kerry's already you know pretty terrible situation

under divine years of crises ignoring struggle. crisis is over the last two or three years and just. going on here and it was clearly just going to have a very very hard it is very difficult to assess the prime minister what you're going to do stage guys in the event will be significant but i hope it differently didn't you because. this is no you cast it in writing because ok we know it is you just heard it lots of tomorrow in the middle east is going to cost the lives in prices of oil in other words you knows and also if you guys doing here is going to elicit these kinds of meeting your grip on what we go on i mean i am going to see where you is not going to cause it in the financial crises. and coal cleveland a sociology professor at temple university in tokyo says the japanese people's

preparation and reaction as the ground shook beneath there was some three. it was pretty compelling i mean this was a great but that was the least two or three minutes and it peter just continued to the really strong level and we were really quite amazed that. the level of force and they just continued and as i looked out the window i could see the trees and the light all swaying just. kind of dancing i do think though that japan is one of the boards of all the bands countries in terms of preparing for it works because they catastrophic earthquakes the one nine hundred twenty three counts of quakes like the earthquake occurred back in march one thousand nine hundred three and because of that the building codes are of course from one thousand nine hundred nine on the particular have really strict standards for construction and as a result the buildings are pretty stable and there's a remarkable lack of structural damage and this entire continent playing region

team given the level of this earthquake was a very serious earthquake but in this area we've really not actually i've been down near a convenience that it was certainly scary but it was much sort of damage an injury that might have been a case that you can't not have such advanced construction because you don't know the trees were working of course it was an entirely safe move of people all those people worried but it was very stable course there was no looting no crime or anything like sheep who were extremely i think sensitive and empathetic the people in a real kind of communitarian kind of attitude towards one another and i find out to be one of the more admirable aspects of society people who are very concerned about people. just a reminder the story dominating the news this hour emergency crews and engineers are working on a nuclear plant two hundred fifty kilometers north of tokyo to prevent

a possible meltdown after a powerful blast of a percentage see a second emergency has been declared at this site with fears about another reaction of stability as radiation levels in the area are rising japanese government spokesman said partial meltdown was the way of the second reality at least fifteen people have been exposed to radioactivity near the power plant a twenty kilometer exclusion zone has been declared around the plant with residents move from their homes and also a strong earthquake shook talking sunday two days after an eight point nine strong earthquake and subsequent tsunami spread destruction far inland killing at least seven hundred people almost ten thousand remain and apparently. i'm sure the news right now are going president hamid karzai says nature of the u.s. should stop the operations in the war torn country this comes just days after nine children collecting firewood and causes cars and were killed in two separate us our

time it's all she's done you'll go. 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 leg over a one year old child and potatoes 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 he had 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 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. these are say it's from the u.k. great stop the war coalition said the afghan president to demand the complete withdrawal

of foreign troops on his country it would hardly be surprising given what he just experienced but to be honest what he just experienced is what's. of our help or experiencing over the last ten years of war and occupation. a moment too soon if he is calling for the nato and u.s. troops to get out i think just today actually news coming out of washington looking for open ended timescale for staying in afghanistan where you really do have to say if this problem hasn't been solved by military means in a decade how long overlooking are we looking or. twenty years keep going should i think really be clear in iraq there is no military solution to the situation the solution lies in the hands of the people you get to get on with looking for one.

the arab league has been no fly zone over libya after an emergency summits member states agreed to the un security council to impose the destruction of the u.k. and france has been pushing the idea but has so far failed to grandstand international backing the arab league and the he won't come will conduct it just took down confusion and chaos continues in libya amid the constant shifts in the balance of power oceans that's under clickers in the rebel stronghold of benghazi where people feel that any help will arrive too late. already on the east the annan abashed and they're firing in eastern libya is like most of its base disciplines young impulsive and irreverent to the regime you don't like these twenty two year old who had never held the gun before let alone used it that just on the moon that my father showed me how to use it a few weeks ago and ready to die for my country and many in gaza 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 adds closer a bloodbath seems old with an avoidable international deliberations and what to do about believe it or not rising has been going on for so long that many people invent god be no longer hold you that's how they will come in and sat there feeling to their last hold as the gaddafi forces are closing in on the battlefield friday prayers in gaza you are the most passionate so far in the city residents turn their palms to the skies it's many homes would have been declared a no fly zone by now. as more coffins arrive from the front line high spirits have given way to sense of abandonment just several weeks of encouraging statements from western capitals many here feel deceived. to see mr obama we are expecting that the incoming got. you can. look out for the liberties of the

new signs of people leaving the guard be partially because some i really finding themselves in a catch twenty two situation living now or maybe 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 free how many are against him and indeed whether that situation is changing many people within libya have to. go because very few that it's of oppressive government where turning now following the example since you know syria egypt to seeking freedom of speech for me freedom of organization and wanting a democratic form of government yet ironically it was in ghazi that more market daffy began his quest for power forty two years ago of a young revolutionary he overthrew the king in a bloodless coup in its cause. and then to tyranny those who are both even now even

younger and demanding this theme things but that's where many fear historic parallels my dander big time we are the big guys the libya. and starting with the rest across that our world and police and government have a target on to government demonstrations two people were killed when police use live bullets tear gas and water cannons to disperse protesters group of around ten thousand have filmed a makeshift gun in the same time of the capital sana'a weeks of demonstrations against the thirty year rule of american backed president and they have to sign there have left about pressure people. israeli military has launched a massive manhunt after five members of a jewish family were killed in a west bank settlement the family including three children was stabbed to death by an intruder who grow up into their home according to israeli palestinian militant
