if. there's another new budget said the good shit about atomic power plants in japan where the government spokesman said i got a partial meltdown for the second week mary-alice so may have been triggered by the country's worst ever after at least fifteen people have been exposed to media and seriously residents have been evacuated from a twenty kilometer exclusion zone around the senate seat where officials say radiation levels are rising saying. japan's in time defense corps has been mobilized in a desperate search for survivors of the it's unknown it's swept away in some of the edges and submerged towns and large areas around seven hundred people are confirmed dead a figure
11:01 pm
a budget to replace with thousands are still unaccounted for. and in other news the afghan president says nato and american troops should leave his country just days after the harm it causes cousin as well as nine children collecting firewood were killed in separate us. on the arab league has reportedly box a no fly zone over libya and made to be anonymous calls for gadhafi to go. international news live from moscow this is all she was me out of a thanks for joining as the world's news is dominated by the earthquake and tsunami disaster in japan emergency crews and engineers are desperately working on a. nuclear plant in the tsunami hit north to prevent a possible row down after
11:02 pm
a powerful blast of the senate seat the explosion was caused by thirty eight in the cooling system people living within a twenty kilometer radius have been. moved from their homes for fear of contamination meanwhile at least fifteen people have already been exposed to radio seriously near the facility a second emergency has now been declared at a second reactor at fukushima and in the state in the past hour japanese scientists have upgraded friday's earthquake to magnitude nine point zero it also triggered a massive tsunami which struck japan's coast and cause destruction is far inland over seven hundred people are confirmed dead in one town almost ten thousand residents remain unaccounted for. and just in the past few hours there's been another strong earthquake of six point two magnitude with the epicenter around one hundred eighty kilometers from the japanese company tokyo much closer than before oh she's correspondent i have abilities in the city where he says he was woken up by tremors during the night. actually the city is still shaking you're being
11:03 pm
a number of aftershocks just this morning even one the last one about twenty minutes ago the whole room was shaking as i walk downstairs the light it seems was shaking and it's very hard to actually walk in a straight line you're swaying and injuring a nightmare and couple of aftershocks so strong in fact that it worked me out and i can actually hear the room creaking in things falling from the roof outside so the city is still experiencing aftershocks nonetheless actually inflicting damage on the city an hour and from what i've seen that this very little surface damage here but the transport infrastructure is definitely still suffering when trying to arrange transport now to sendai the epicenter. where that the earthquake hit be days ago and all the trains none of the trains going to the north of the country and they're not working and it's still very unsure of what actual transport links they can run with all these aftershocks still happening so even as far away as
11:04 pm
tokyo still suffering the after effects fifteen people so far who were out with plant that exploded yes they have been affected by the radiation that is still there into the atmosphere but local authorities fear that that number number could actually rise to one hundred sixty as they actually now analyze the exposure of the people that been evacuated from the area around the fukushima number one power plant where there is a number of branches are still on high there yesterday one of the reactors it's bloated and of course the playing down the fears of nuclear meltdown now that are still on high alert a number of other reactors at that for women and one plant and number two plant now because the pressure is still very very high inside a number of the reactors and they having to really let out its team and obviously in doing so radiation team which is building to the radiation in the atmosphere and also because of cooling system actually one of the reactors at that second plant was knocked out. gamely someone in and out with the other plant with the other
11:05 pm
reactors he's calling function is not working actually using pumping in seawater even around the reactor to try and cool it they've evacuated two hundred thousand people now handing out i had seen at least people who have coming out of those affected areas because that's what's used to treat radiation explosion but i'm certain rescue operation now isn't absolutely a mass on a massive scale they're still searching for survivors that's due nonny interest boyd entire town the pacific coast of japan and they've caught navy ships out in the ocean seafood they predict which is on a vast scale that can treat every little bit to check for survivors they say they've already found three thousand people and they've rescued them from underneath buildings and once a day very but already bit the police are saying actually that they feel that nine hundred people have died maybe that number could rise as one. and it
11:06 pm
paid for this if there are thousands of people still missing one in one titanic two ways what we know is and recruit ten thousand people they're still unaccounted for so the search and rescue mission is still very much i'm going. to park relies heavily on nuclear energy and with millions of people who are left without power russia is offering to help moscow says it's now working on ways to assist falling across the top here our cities pulls out of a has that into. russia has stepped into the breach with a. used to draw thirty percent of all of its energy from nuclear power stations and that of course is being suffered terrible. to the situation in fukushima and of course the situation and 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
11:07 pm
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 in its power to help its neighbor to the east. this is a great tragedy for japan so i would like 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 point of view of people's housing and radioactivity nevertheless the situation must be closely monitored on around 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
11:08 pm
situation is being monitored very very closely in russia east this is due to cause the close proximity but also due to that close proximity there is a risk if there was clear material being put into the atmosphere that changing weather changing wind could take any respect because 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 east of. russia has to be 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 their radios they glued to their televisions and r.t.c. gauge the situation on the ground inside. who are only six hundred miles away from fukushima and residents of the city of usenet the capital of the region can't
11:09 pm
believe their eyes they are literally glued to their t.v. screens and wanted tarring 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 changed this appalling region what they're afraid of now is a risk of radioactive contamination despite were 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'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
11:10 pm
where they could get their personal geiger counters to measure radioactive the levels of radiation now emergency officials say the v.a. will update locals on the latest and that there will be enough time to evacuate if necessary. big nuclear catastrophe here the fukushima power plant has not really raised warring parallels with a turnover well done in ukraine in nineteen eighty six however things that exist here a shocking kid explains that the two explosions are quite a different turn. 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 which are normal and at the fukushima plant 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
11:11 pm
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 campaign to just safeguard 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
11:12 pm
fukushima region but 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 cores these mistakes were learned the mistakes by those 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 in trouble and it fukushima one are different despite what we can see in the pictures from the japanese television the 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 our nuclear chain reaction first and then
11:13 pm
a powerful steam explosion like it happened in turn noble this is like a rodeo it's trying to control a crazy horse because nobody knows whether you would be able to get that can react 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 car 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's 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 is still being damaged according to the authorities and. we hopefully think that such contamination as it happened twenty five years ago and
11:14 pm
would be avoided this time but of course we'll have to wait and see what happens next with old this developing story. holes has all the normal time designed to happen in japan the concern in asia. it seems a horrible irony that the japanese who were the first he attacked with the 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 why did 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 chen noble 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 but it's really not enough because the area is much larger that we're talking about that will be contaminated. and
11:15 pm
a professor of economics at the university of nottingham believes the financial cost of friday's disaster will have consequences beyond. there is already you know really a terrible situation under five years of crises you can struggle really cagr a. crisis is over the last two or three years and just. one army and it is clean just going through he didn't even bother it's very difficult to assess the problems or you're going to do stage i assume the impact will be significant but i hope it really is going to be called. no you just do it in your question because it let me know if you just heard it locks up tomorrow in the middle east is going to cost the lives in prices of oil in other words you knows and also the disgusting jim he's going to. get meeting you they don't know what we want to be but i'm going to show you this is not going to cause
11:16 pm
a lot of financial crises. and cleveland sociology professor at temple university in tokyo says the japanese people's preparation and reaction as the ground beneath them was exemplary. it was pretty compelling i mean this was a quake that was. least two or three minutes and peter just continued a really strong level we were really quite amazed that. the level of the force didn't update just continue and as i looked out the window i could see the trees and the light all swinging just around kind of dancing i do think other japan has one of the more of all been the pants countries in terms of preparing for its quakes because they kind of struck because it's the one nine hundred twenty three counts of quake the first quake and codex and not one thousand nine hundred three and because of the building codes are up to from one thousand nine hundred nine in
11:17 pm
particular have 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 council playing region given the level of this earthquake was a very serious earthquake but in this area we were really more actually if i go down that we were inconvenienced and not certainly scary but it was much less damage an injury that might have been the case japan did not have such advanced construction that even though the trains were working it was an entirely safe move of people was people worried but it was very stable of course there was no looting no crime or anything like people 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 to be one of the more admirable aspects of society where people are very concerned about people. and there are my know this story dominating the news this hour
11:18 pm
emergency crews and engineers are working at the nuclear plant two hundred fifty kilometers north of tokyo to prevent a possible meltdown after a powerful blast at the facility a second emergency has been declared at the site with fears about another reactor stability that's radiation levels in the area are rising japanese government spokesman said a partial meltdown was under way at this second reactor at least fifteen people have been exposed to radioactivity any of the power plant a twenty kilometer. exclusions husband deployed around the plant with residents moved from their homes also a strong earthquake shook talk it was sunday two days after a nine point zero a strong earthquake and subsequent tsunami spread destruction far inland killing at least seven hundred people almost ten thousand remain and acknowledge it. and to other news now president hamid karzai says
11:19 pm
nato and the u.s. should stop their operations in the water own country this comes just days after nine children collecting firewood and cousin were killed in two separate us at times. the president because 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 a period in the east of the country where he saw the legal for a one year old child be treated me actually cried on seeing those scenes just a few days ago no troops killed because i was cousin in another night raid in kandahar and that follows just recently nato admitting he'd killed my children in
11:20 pm
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 prisoners 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 marry can is turning toxic it wants a billion this to stop the population says that the attack should 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 about what they
11:21 pm
see as a public slap in the face for nato and its allies. and john smith from the u.k. based on the wall coalition says afghan president to demand a complete withdrawal of the foreign troops from his country. it would hardly be surprising given what he's just experienced but to be honest what he's just experienced is what's. up experiencing over the last ten years all war and occupation. and moment too soon if he is called put nato and u.s. troops to get out but i think just today actually news coming out of washington they're looking for open ended time scale 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 are we looking or are we looking at the neuros twenty years. should i think really be clear in iraq there is no military solution to the
11:22 pm
situation the solution lies in the hands of the people in the west gets out. there are we looking for one. the arab league husbands the idea of a no fly zone over libya i'll turn him out as a summit member states agreed to was the u.n. security council to impose the restriction the u.k. songs have been pushing the idea they have so far failed to win full international backing the arab league on the you won't clinical data to step down confusion and chaos continues and leader i mean the constant shift in the balance of power and she's at some point is in the rebel stronghold of benghazi where people feel there's many helpful reply to the. lot of the annan abashed and the uprising in eastern libya is like most of its big disciplines young impulsive and reverent to the regime that these twenty two year old who had never held big gun before that's a long used it that this 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
