market. find out what's really happening to me for a no holds barred look at the global financial headline news. to report on our. japan braces itself for a new explosion after a third reactor loses its cooling capacity of the fukushima one a nuclear power plant eleven people were injured on monday morning in the second blast to hit the plant since friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami. two thousand people have been confirmed dead and thousands are still missing more than a hundred aftershocks over a magnitude of five have hit japan since friday's a mega quake with rescue services stretched to the limit around the country. emergency officials are on high alert in russia's far eastern a solid region close to japan's border concerned about the threat of nuclear

contamination. and in other news that libya's rebels are losing ground as colonel gadhafi forces push through the opposition stronghold in the east but with no plan of action and a constant power struggle will save them and since nowhere in sight. they're watching r t live from moscow now was just seven pm in japan where we start and there are new threats and warnings coming from the country with reports of a possible third explosion on the way at the fukushima one a nuclear plant now this follows monday second blast there which injured eleven people well japanese officials have been reassuring locals that radiation levels at the plant are within legal limits but up to one hundred sixty people could have been exposed to radiation following the two explosions at the. facility in

northeastern japan meanwhile engineers have been using seawater to try to cool down reactors at the complex which were damaged in the quake to avert a catastrophic nuclear meltdown are now hearing that the reactor has lost its cooling a passerby increasing fears that it will overheat and cause another blast again all this was triggered by friday's mega quake which was then followed by a giant tsunami one thousand eight hundred people are now confirmed dead but that number is expected to rise by many times that artie's bennett is in a sendai one of the towns worst affected by the huge wave. the reactor at the fukushima power plant number one reactor and then your various heating it's lost its cooling mechanism which is crucial to stopping nuclear meltdown and while the screen it could lead to overheating and another explosion similar to the two other costs we've already seen. could happen now or are they doing to try to

prevent that is by pouring on seawater into the reactors trying to pull it down. that's what they did for the other two plants unfortunately that didn't prevent any explosion however the explosion a did happen earlier today according to the government the nuclear reactor that holds the radioactive material is still intact which is crucial to preventing a major nuclear catastrophe. peoples were injured in that explosion that nuclear power plant that the tokyo electric power company who own the plant they say that radiation levels are within the legal limits in fact significantly lower levels but a warning needs to be issued on top of that they are have evacuated a huge area twenty kilometer radius. around the nuclear power on of. and she wanted be twenty thousand people have been evacuated to safety however six hundred people still remain in the area they want to be treated quick enough so

they've been told to stay inside so as to not be exposed to any radiation we know also that the radiation has leaked out more far afield than that according to the new york times and a u.s. aircraft carrier off the japanese coast two hundred sixty comes into the pacific ocean. with a geiger counter they measure it in a cloud of smoke but radiation was above the normal levels. sounding on the cruise crewmembers received radiation they absorbed about the same as they would do normally in a month they're above normal they're not at a critical level here comic being shown by people lining up outside supermarkets one q we saw a main street market center town with. a long grass no exaggeration people being queuing up overnight to try and stock up on things so people are obviously concerned that potentially could spread it radiation might mean what happens then

find or another quake could lead to food shortages already there are food shortage in town and in the whole prefecture in fact one man we met had to travel seventy kilometers on food and. right now several of the food shops are limiting people to five i can back them and having fewer hours at a time to get into the shops but obviously there is some level of panic people aren't showing it. on the surface but they're definitely concerned that we very much as stocking up on food and also fuel our way here yet last night we saw a long queue of cars parked on the lawn outside of one of the few cattle stations that were they were open in the fukushima prefecture. and there only being limited to twenty liters of petrol but the authorities. the army troops and

police ok police even as well lining the streets and going to the coast heading people off thank you for can make their way we were trying to get that film pictures of the private station called you know me three day to go and every bit of two hundred metres of the police telling. us to go back to the damage is absolutely complete it's you don't get a real feel for it until you actually meet until you actually get to the coast but it's worth it in areas. the tsunami completely wiped out everything in it are very clear that it came reached. just in nine minutes fall in the air greg. truly incredible force we wiped out three buildings because floating in what appeared to be an inland sea it's absolutely devastating you didn't really understand it and don't really realize the power of the must. we'll be until you

actually see these pictures and we saw people sifting through what remains of what was their house they were. as well and beach. being washed up seven kilometers inland so clearly the damage is. far. inland. there are few buildings damaged in the sense of the things functioning pretty much . as normal in terms of infrastructure and i can see on the road that the. trains are still not out of phase of aftershocks and tension of the tsunami. and you know emergency services remain on high alert in russia's far eastern region quotes to northern japan our correspondent. is there for us. now as we've been getting reports about the second explosion at fukushima recent really high there's a radioactive catastrophe and

a cloud could reach this region of russia the emergence is ministry say they have reinforced checks of the radiation levels here and say that as of now they stand at last than the average for these area but residents fear that what today might look like candlelight snow could turn into a case of rains tomorrow so many choose to leave and mostly tourists are not residents of this region is for the locals here most of them try not to panic and to run about their businesses as usual and they also say that features they're now seeing in japan look so familiar to what they had been through several years ago. this is how the trust looks like you can hardly see the needle tracing the way form as a card to mourn it or call that is listening for every beat but things can change quickly . in the real time

a new quake is here in japan this is the wave trace it's strong it has a magnitude of six point five in the two he says it was an earthquake of magnitude nine translates into part of the ceiling of the terminal building full year eleven is not new to quakes has been running the say six station in russia's far is over twenty years now but even for him friday is advance came as a painful and vivid reminder he and his old time friend survived an earthquake of similar intensity in south carolina nine hundred ninety five they don't need t.v. reports to know what the people of japan are experiencing now. that it was a sustained sense of vertigo ceilings were caving in but first thing i did i rushed to my daughters i grabbed the older one while my wife took our newborn rushed into the street thank god we live on the first floor. yury two was lucky to back here

quickly but dozens of their friends were buried alive the morning we drove to the incentive to go several locals were in a car with us we arrived and there was nothing exxon was no longer there we even started hauling in grange their history can say a word used to be streets and houses have been turned into just awful if you. then have to go risk earthquake was russia's most destructive in one hundred years over two thousand people died the town was never a built but the sea snake station was reopened it was shut down shortly after the collapse of the soviet union and yuri was left without chop but the earthquake changed all that not only was the station reinstated dozens of new ones have been built these time small scale calls ury several times a day. we are always on high alert hopefully better than the americans

stations was the first to report the earthquake was so quickly felt in so highly in as this is the closest part of russia to japan and while it's an army threat has receded there is no relief for the people here or the danger now one of the nuclear catastrophe everyone here understands that in the worst case scenario it will take a radioactive cloud less than an hour to reach the coast of russia exiting a great show of our t.v. from the circle in the region. russia is sending aid and rescuers to japan to help with the aftermath of friday's earthquake and tsunami as well as to prepare for a potential new disaster or at least peter all over has more on moscow's involvement. a russian emergencies ministry plane has arrived in japan already know that contains fifty rescuers and aid workers as well as humanitarian aid now looking at things like shelter tents blankets food water we've heard already in the

program there in very short supply in japan these aid is now getting into the country from russia there's also a helicopter from the emergencies ministry which is being given the green light to enter japanese airspace that's expected to go to the areas worst hit directly in those areas worst hit by the earthquake and tsunami that contains another twenty five aid workers and more supplies military aid for the people on the ground there over the weekend russia already pledged. to japan to try and help the situation drawing about thirty percent of all its energy from its nuclear power stations they've been severely disrupted following the earthquake and tsunami and of course the the on going disaster is taking place at fukushima course moscow has experience with dealing with a serious nuclear accident chernobyl the worst in. history of course happening in ukraine and from ukraine we can now hear from. these talks about what russia could

bring to the table should a full scale nuclear disaster be on the cards and playing field trip down memory lane aleksandr often goes to the thirty kilometer nature of normal exclusion zone in ukraine but every visit and emotions twenty five years ago what is now the ghost town of his home before the chernobyl fallout changed everything. you know i didn't come here just to take photos it still feels like home. i spent my best chance and years here i long to hear it and even those who've never been here before come and feel the car. so they want to come back here. alexander is one of hundreds of thousands whose address changed after april the twenty six thousand nine hundred eighty six that is one of the kids youngest districts in the late one nine hundred eighty s. houses sprung up here literally overnight many of those who had to leave their

homes in the chernobyl area found their home here a total of three hundred thousand people had to be resettled from the contaminated land this new life game at a high price for some reason the soviet authorities meddled with the evacuation from the contaminated zone to fifty thousand residents the town just three kilometers from the exploded reactor were subjected to a great deal of radiation that sounds former deputy mayor says this dreadful mistake was caused by a mass confusion which followed the blast. those who ask the question don't quite understand what it takes to evacuate as many as fifty thousand people you simply can't do it in one hour or in two hours but we brought thirteen hundred buses here from here we had to inform people bring them together and in the first place we had to understand whether we actually needed the evacuation even specialists in the first stages didn't know whether the reactor was destroyed

a quarter of a century since the disaster the thirty kilometer area around the plant is a nuclear wasteland the former period for radioactive particles is believed to last several thousand years so all this land would hardly ever be inhabited again however some like this elderly man were not put off by the radioactive threat and decided to return after the soviet union collapsed. when i was moved to here they gave me a fly. and in miserable pension not enough to make a normal living that's why we returned home is here and we grow through it he decides nowadays more people come to there's a curse post-boy all the time really stopping their use of food or money. as the news of a nuclear incident at the fukushima plant in japan broke out the first thing the authorities did was to evacuated residents within twenty kilometers of the facility twenty five years ago people of the affected area were less fortunate the reaction

of the japanese government suggests that the lessons of chernobyl have decades later been learned let's see risky artsy reporting from kiev ukraine. well despite the latest blast and precarious situation japan's nuclear safety agency is still reassuring the public that there is no possibility of a chair noble style accident at the fukushima nuclear plant but while maintaining carbon dr robert blake of says authorities may themselves be unaware of just how dangerous things could get. historically i can tell you that in every situation like this when there is a nuclear industrial accident there is a very there's two different programs underway one is the program to control the problem and the other is the program to manage public opinion in the case of managing public opinion there is always a desire to present the opinion or to present a perception that the government is in control there is no undue danger and there

is no reason to panic often the need to control this kind of perception runs counter to the actual information which may be useful to people about whether they're in danger now or people rely on the government to give them accurate in formation about what the threats are so there's never been a case where the information has been accurate and useful so there's no reason to believe that the government is now not engaged in trying to manage public opinion and. and it's perceptions and it's not so bad and perhaps that's accurate. we now know that. we are following all the latest developments in the japan since a massive earthquake and tsunami descended the country into chaos now a third explosion could be ahead as the reactor has lost its cooling capacity at the fukushima one a nuclear plant on monday morning a saw eleven people injured in the latest blast to take place the country has been battling a domino effect since friday's massive earthquake and gigantic tsunami well says

the double tragedy one thousand eight hundred people have been confirmed dead but that number is expected to rise by many times that two thousand bodies have been washed up and beat me yagi district alone and another thousand were found in the town of minami sanriku but the government there are claims that up to ten thousand people are missing which is more than half of the local population and many people are worried about radiation levels with up to one hundred sixty people reportedly exposed so far the government has ordered the people within a twenty kilometer radius of the clients to be evacuated to safety the locals are also expecting power outages arius will be divided into groups and each one will have a three hour blackout it's all part of the plan to keep the country's crippled electricity grid operational and meanwhile we are also getting reports of a shortage of food water and fuel prime minister an altar call and has called it

the country's worst crisis since world war two countries are been sending their help to japan russia has sent a team of rescuers to help with relief efforts and russia's emergencies minister has vowed to send additional help if japan requests it. let's now turn our attention to libya where colonel gadhafi forces are pushing the opposition back reclaiming a more and more cities in the rebel stronghold of the country well the opposition may be experiencing defeats but the government troops appear unsure over their victory without a plan or anyone to help them stabilize the country are the smallest leader brings us the latest on this shaky battle for power. every fighting continues particularly in the eastern part of libya and around the town of brega where government troops have been firing rounds of ammunition and conducting is strikes the latest word we have is that the town is now certainly in the hands of gadhafi is meant they also be making a weight eastward brigade is a significant loss it is the latest in

a series of setbacks to face the rebel troops and just a week ago had most of eastern libya in their hands and we're talking about a march on the capital city tripoli now and in tripoli as you can see it is very quiet it has in fact been quiet all along and it almost seems an author bill that rebel forces were talking about a march on the city a united nations delegation is in town they are meeting with the government they are trying to coordinate relief if that's what at the same time we've heard from human rights watch and they are warning that if it's by the government of stifling opposition voices in tripoli is alarming and dangerous now the biggest problem facing the rebels is that they are loosely organized and they lack leadership and the enthusiasm that has been binding them and motivating them back into now slowly seems to be waning they have issued a call for the international community to implement a no fly zone but they do emphasize it as must not lead to any kind of foreign military intervention they are warning that without some kind of international

involvement though at least a half a million or libyans will be slaughtered by the gadhafi regime the situation on the ground it is chaotic the front line keeps shifting forwards and backwards people here really are stupid enough to know who to trust they do not know which way to turn and they do not know what the future holds now that u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is in paris on monday she will be meeting with members of the libyan opposition there she will then travel teachin is here and egypt the meeting with the opposition coincides with the g eight summit there and ministers will be discussing the implementation of a no fly zone and some kind of foreign intervention the whole question of a no fly zone has to be presented to nato. france is pushing heavily for it while there are obvious an international community such as russia who are strongly against it the u.s. defense secretary robert gates says that the united states has the ability it has enough power to enforce it if the decision is indeed made to go ahead with that on saturday the arab league was the latest in the international community to come on

board and give it very annoyed to a no fly zone now it does seem so the clock is ticking and time is running out increasingly analysts are warning that the situation in eastern libya could turn into a kind of somalia where you have these small feudal groups each run by a warlord. r.t. tripoli. and the earthquake triggered tsunami in japan has also gravely affected the country's economy with the government injecting a record amount of money into markets to stabilize the financial system or for more of the economic impact of this massive disaster that's not cross to our business desk. that's right time to have a look at what's happening in the world of business and japan's economy is such to suffer significantly after being hit by one of the biggest earthquakes in its history well the country's infrastructure is seriously damaged the nation's

industrial classed as in the south and west seem to have been starved the worse but a local car makers and tronics farms and world refiners have shut down. more all of the crisis damaged nuclear plants north tokyo is threatening to cause an energy use that could set by all sectors of the economy some ports some tokyo japan south have resumed operating outdraw war initially closed to me warnings of aftershocks meanwhile of mind hartmann chairman of the association of european businesses and russia says the counter strike will push for discussions on alternative energy sources. i think not only in germany or in the e.u. would it really be a new discussion how far nuclear energy is the future energy or it going to be pleased that my journey because energy sources renewable energy sources or natural gas which we would like to see. now let's see how the asian markets are reacting to the situation in japan the nikkei closed down more than six percent on monday to

a two year low that's just expected the earthquake and tsunami to take a toll on the economy japanese carmakers electronics firms and world refiners saw their share prices drop by double digit percentages the country's central bank says it is record one hundred days of three billion dollars into money markets to stabilize the financial system but the reaction on hong kong's hang seng was subdued as the in this close to percent. european stocks are lower falling reka asian session on a day such be dominated by the economic impact of the earthquake and tsunami in japan. stocks has flattened the person's point nine percent down this hour. and here in russia both the r.t.s. and the my six have shaken off concerns of the situation in japan but the mice it's jumping over one percent this sound there are chances also on the list one and a half percent let's not have a look at some individual share moves most major energy shares are just spot the

price of world dropping three percent on friday. and will soon after leading the way up around two point five and two percent respectively bucking the trend is what telecom which is down at the cent on the my six. russian stock markets will be looking into what's further much more economic data coming out was the us despite the situation in rocking investor sentiment director of equities sales at its creator michael stein looks up the week ahead. the market's going to take its cues from external factors with a lot of investors trying to quantify the economic damage associated with this earthquake in japan and whether or not that's going to slow down growth in that part of the world by investors also look to two things or form see meeting where they'll be looking for signs that bernanke is going to keep interest rates low just by science if inflation is picking up in the u.s. economy the mystically investors will look at the profit results for spearing which are due open tuesday or wednesday and also be looking for p.p.i.
