braces itself for a new explosion followed reactor and loses its cooling capacity of the fish even nuclear power plants eleven people were injured on monday morning in the second class ticket since friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami. two thousand people have been confirmed dead and families and still missing more than a hundred on the song save for a magnitude five hit japan since friday make a quake with the rescue so stretched to the limits around the country. emergency officials are on high alert in russia's far east in some region close to

japan's bill into concerns about the threat of nuclear contamination. and all the news libya's rebels are losing ground as colonel could see these forces push through the opposition stronghold in east good with no plan of action alex concept i want to struggle locals say the end seems nowhere in sight it's. a very warm welcome this is all i see live from moscow with me it's a third explosion at the fukushima one nuclear power plant in japan appears in the after another reacts and lost all its cooling capabilities the news comes just hours after out and separates reactor injured eleven people were japanese officials

still say radiation levels at the plant all within the legal limits of two hundred and sixty people could have been exposed to radiation in its. explosion that hits apathy is here in northeast japan since friday and today is trying to see water to cool the reactors complex to a vertical i catastrophic nuclear meltdown all this had been triggered by the mega quake which was then followed by giant sonali eighty hundred people on now confirmed dead that number is expected to rise by many times that artie's either bennett is in sendai one of the towns worst affected by the huge wave. of the reactor at the fukushima power plant number one reactor now in danger of its heating it's lost its cooling mechanism which is crucial to stopping nuclear meltdown and what this means it could lead to overheating and another explosion similar to the two other blasts we've already seen. could happen now what are they

doing to try and prevent that is why calling on seawater into the reactor to try and cool it down and that's what they did for the other two to answer unfortunately that didn't prevent any explosion where 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. eleven people were injured in that explosion. on the the tokyo electric power company who own the plant they say the radiation levels are within the legal limits in fact significantly lowered the levels but a warning needs that on top of that they are evacuated a huge area twenty kilometers radius. around the nuclear power on. and two hundred people joining thousand people have been evacuated to safety

however six hundred people still remain in that area they want to be accurate to quick enough so they've been called to stay inside so it's not be exposed to any radiation you know also that the radiation has leaked out more far afield than that according to the new york times and reuters a u.s. aircraft carrier off the japanese coast two hundred sixty qantas into the pacific ocean. with a geiger counter they made it in a cloud of smoke that radiation was above the normal levels. says standing on deck crews three members receive radiation is about the same as they would do normally in a month so they're above normal going not at a critical level. comic being shown by simple lining up outside supermarkets one key we saw but remained marching in the center of town with kilometer long no exaggeration people have been queuing up overnight to try and stock up on food people are obviously concerned that. potentially the spread of radiation might mean

they have to stand behind or another quake could lead to food shortages already there are a shortage in town and in hope prefecture in fact. that we manage. on food and. right now several of the food shops are limiting people to fight i can back them and having you are always the time to get into the stock but obviously there is some level of panic people on showing it. definitely can be very much there's a blocking out on food and also fuel our way here yet last night we saw a long queue of car. parked on the lawn outside of one of the few cattle stations that were they were open in the fukushima prefecture. and there any being limited to twenty liters of petrol the authorities. the army troops

and police very carefully even as well lining the streets appealing to the people i think people can make their way we were trying to get their film pictures off the but they have a station called you know me three day to go in every quarter two hundred metres or so they are police telling private thing i can think back to the damage of absolutely complete it's. don't get a real feel for it until you actually see it until you actually get to the case but it's worth it in areas. the tsunami completely wiped out everything in it are very clear that he came he reached a clump of eden just in nine minutes fall and yet craig been absolutely incredible force as we walk down three buildings because floating in what appeared to be an inland sea it is absolutely devastating you didn't really understand it and didn't really realise the power that must be. wielded 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 there. are no provisions for trains still not on the face of aftershocks and eventually another tsunami. well russia's nuclear safety officials are saying there's little to no danger of a new chernobyl happening in japan however emergency services remain on high alert in the country a region close to northern japan our correspondent. now

as we've been getting reports of all this second explosion at fukushima research really high there is a radioactive catastrophe and a cloud could reach this region of russia the merchants is ministry say they have reinforced tracks of the radiation levels here and say that as of now they stand at last that the average for this area but residents fear that what today might look like candlelight snow could turn into. tomorrow so many choose to leave and mostly tourists are not residents of this region is for the locals here most of them trying not to panic and to run about their businesses as usual and they also say that teachers they're now seeing in japan looks 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 hard morning. is listening for every beat but things can change quickly

what we've seen 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. this is what an earthquake of magnitude nine translates into. your eleven is not new to wake's has been running the say sneak station in russia's war 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 and civilian in one thousand nine hundred ninety five they don't need t.v. reports to know what the people of japan are experiencing now what you did it was a sustained sense of vertigo ceilings were caving in the first thing i did i rushed to my daughters i grabbed the older one while my wife took our newborn and we

rushed into the street thank god will live on the first floor. ury two was lucky to be back here quickly but dozens of their friends were buried alive the morning room for the incident and if the goats were in a car with us we arrived and there was nothing the time was no longer there we even started hauling in their fists and couldn't say a word what used to be streets with houses had been turned into just. then if you go risk earthquake was russia's most destructive in a hundred years over two thousand people died the town was never a built but the seesmic 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 had been built these time small school calls you read several times

a day. where always an old flee better than the americas stations was the first to report the earthquake was so quickly felt insecure lena's this is the closest part of russia to japan and while a tsunami threat has receded there is no relief for the people here but 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 the virtue of r r t from the sea region. now russia is sending a and rescuers to japan to help with the aftermath of friday's earthquake and tsunami as well as to prepare for a potential disaster moscow will offer more of its necessary that's clear from the phone conversation between president. and prime minister now to. russia'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 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 has been given the green light to enter japanese airspace that's expected to go to the areas worst hit directly to those areas by the earthquake and tsunami that contains another twenty five aid workers and more supplies and humanitarian aid for the people on the ground there over the weekend russia already pledged. to japan to try and help the situation there japandroids 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 the history of course happening in ukraine and from ukraine we can now hear. he's talked about what russia could bring to the table should a full scale nuclear disaster be on the cards a painful trip down memory lane alexander often goes to the thirty kilometer the chernobyl exclusion zone in ukraine but every visit south 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 for years here i long to hear. and even those who have 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 sixth one thousand nine hundred eighty six the creation is one of the 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 their home here a total of three hundred thousand people had to be resettled from the contaminated blood and this new life came at a high price for some reason the soviet authorities meddled with the evacuation from the contaminated zone fifty thousand residents the town just three kilometers from the exploded reactor were subjected to a great deal of radiation it sounds former deputy mayor says this dreadful mistake was caused by a mass confusion which followed the last. of 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 or 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 fall are curious for radioactive particles is believed to last several thousand years so 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 here they gave me a fly. and a miserable pension not enough to make a normal living that's why we returned home is here and we grow. besides nowadays more people come to there's a curse post-boy all that many stop worrying some food 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 say risky r.t. reporting from clear ukraine now despite the latest blast and precarious situation japan's nuclear thinks the agency is still reassuring the public there's no possibility of the chernobyl style. plan but while maintaining calm. says authorities that 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's 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 to present a perception that the government is in control that there is no undue danger and there's 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 or not need to 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 manage perceptions of this crisis is not so bad and perhaps that's accurate but we won't know that for a while. well we're following all the latest developments in japan since a massive earthquake and tsunami descended the country into chaos on friday

a third explosion at the fukushima nuclear plant appears imminent as another reactor has lost all its cooling capabilities were there follows the latest blast earlier on monday which saw seven people injured the country has been battling a domino effect a problem since the quake eighteen hundred people have been officially confirmed dead than number is expected to rise by many times. fouls and bodies have reportedly been washed up in the my aggie district alone another thousand were found in the town of minimal poor but so the government there claims up to ten thousand people are missing which is more than half the local population many people are worried about where da should levels with up to one hundred sixty people reportedly exposed so far people within a twenty kilometer radius of the plant had been evacuated to safety the locals are also expecting power outages areas 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 meanwhile we're also getting reports of a shortage of food and fuel prime minister natalie can has called it the country's worst crisis since world war two russia has sent a team of rescuers to help with relief efforts russia's emergencies minister has vowed to send additional help if japan requests it. ok let's turn our attention now to libya where colonel gadhafi forces are pushing the opposition back reclaiming more and more cities in the rebel stronghold of the country the opposition may be experiencing defeats but government troops appear i'm sure their victory without a plan or anyone to help them stabilize the country politically agree with the latest on this shaky battle for power. heavy 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 air strikes the latest word we have is that the town is an ostomy in the hands of the duffys men they also making their way eastward brigade is a significant loss it is the latest in a series of setbacks to face the rebel troops who 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 i am in tripoli as you can see it is very quiet it has in fact been quiet all along and it almost seems an awful forces we're 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 small 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 until 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 that this must not lead to any kind of foreign military intervention they are warning that without some kind of international involvement at least a half a million the libyans will be sorted by the gadhafi regime and the situation on the ground is chaotic the front line keeps shifting forwards and backwards people here really are scared they do not know who to trust they do not know which way to turn and i do not know what the future holds now that u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is in paris a man they should be meeting with members of the libyan opposition there she will be in trouble teachin is here and egypt the meeting with the opposition coincides with the g eight summit their ministers will be discussing the implementation of the no fly zone and some kind of foreign intervention the whole question of a no fly zone has to be presented. nato on choose date is pushing heavily for it while there are others in the international community such as russia who are

strongly against it the u.s. defense secretary robert gates says if 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 the nod to a no fly zone now it does seem that the clock is ticking and time is running out increasingly analysts are warning that the situation in eastern libya could tune into a kind of somalia where you have these small groups each run by a warlord policy r.t. tripoli. or we'll have more on the situation in libya in artie's interview hot past the hour but first let's go to economic side effects of the japanese disaster from our business desk. that's right time to get the latest from the world of business and japan's economy is such a software significantly after being hit by one of the biggest earthquakes in its

history all the country's infrastructure is seriously damaged the nation's industrial clusters in the south and west seem to have been the worst their local comic tronics farms and world famous have shut down key factories where over the crisis the damaged nuclear plants north of tokyo is threatening to cause an energy squeeze that could set back all sectors of the economy some ports in tokyo and japan solve have resumed operating after all were initially closed amid warnings of aftershocks meanwhile the hartman chairman of the association of european businesses in russia says it disaster will push for discussions on alternative energy sources. but he not only germany or in the e.u. there will be a new discussion how far you get energy is the future energy or it can be replaced by other by 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 as investors expected the earthquake and tsunami to take a toll on the economy japanese carmakers electronics from the world refiners saw the share prices drop by double digit percentages the country's central bank says it's injecting a record one hundred eighty three billion dollars into money markets to stabilize the financial system but the reaction on hong kong's hang seng was subdued as the indus closed point two percent. and european stocks a low following a weak asian session on a day set to be dominated by the economic impact of the earthquake and tsunami in japan trying to studs as floods and foot seas point seven percent down the south. and here in russia both your chosen the mice accept shaking off concerns over the situation in japan with the my six jumping point nine percent this hour the r.g.s. is also up more than one percent let's now have a look at some individual share moves most energy shares are up despite the cries

of world dropping three percent on friday from advance by its most movement two weeks the government asked the company to consider increase a little five natural gas shipments to japan it's up more than two percent at the moment and drop snifters also gaining their own one and a half percent this hour bucking the trend as well stomach which is down seven percent on the my six. and russia stock markets will be looking towards father macroeconomic data coming out of the us despite the situation in japan blocking investor sentiment director of equity sales are just crazy and michael stein looks at 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 investors who also looked into this is a forum see a meeting where they'll be looking for signs that bernanke is going to keep

interest rates low but just by science if inflation is picking up in the u.s. economy domestically investors will look at the profit results for spear bank which are due open tuesday or wednesday and also be looking for p.p.i. data and industrial producer which comes out i mean week. michael stein that creative and people you directors that have blocked a proposal that will see the angle russian will venture participate in the b.p. alliance with russia's role snips the decision was made at the latest company board meeting on saturday in a tit for tat the joint ventures russia shareholders have rejected be peace proposal to hold discussions with rosneft about pursuing the arctic opportunity in general. to sixteen billion dollars show us what joined us from rationing removal of russian arctic shelf but of b.p. shareholders a.r. claim to the british partner broke their egremont entering into discussions with without them last month they are one of high court injunction in london that has
