the graphical nuclear situation in japan goes from bad to worse as a sudden spike in radiation levels mean start of withdrawal of the stricken but she left. while the japanese government insists there is no immediate danger personable and a track record of telling the truth about paul's nuclear problems means that not everyone's beds. and japanese shares have rebounded sharply after two consecutive days of that i was finishing up five point seven percent or more in business in just about ten minutes. government forces in libya we take even more lands on the rebels from those countries in the international community are against

opposing the no fly zone the united nations is states it's just us it's. a very warm welcome to you this is our to live from moscow i'm alice had the japan maybe losing control of the shimon nuclear power plant after a rise in radiation levels meant attempts to stabilize the situation have to be halted because the top spokesman said one of the reactors key containment vessels is feared to have broken and radioactive material talent i bet it has in the region said many people are trying to flee from areas facing immediate. there's a bubbling undercurrent of anxiety and fear and it's a different kind of fear now because with the tsunami the earthquake they can see and hear the threats this the radiation they can't see or smell it it's an
5:02 am
invisible enemy so now it's a different kind of threat just this morning i've spoken to a young japanese couple with just a ten day old newly born. and they are actually from sendai and they were in sendai when the earthquake struck they have been able to move until now this is another was two weeks but now they're heading for tokyo as fast as they can and this is just another. more evidence of people who don't trust the government don't trust the advice that the radiation isn't spreading into a greater area outside. this queue of people is a kilometer long they're trying to stockpile what food is left in sendai most shelves are empty now. the people here are getting ready to hide fearing an invisible killer radiation explosions at the fukushima daiichi power plant could the country on the cusp of nuclear meltdown one damage to reactors outer casing and the final two reactors have now lost cooling capability to radiation levels peaked
5:03 am
near the plants at four hundred times the amount normally absorbed in a year there if is it will spread across the country while residents prepared to go to ground for news crews are fleeing this team from new zealand is heading finegan to airport but flights from there to sucker in tokyo are already fully booked for the next two days the exodus has begun here on the west coast. has already. already turning up get on the next available flight out of the country such as desperation to escape. we have to wait until morning to get the next flight a hard bar of we have to wait outside but we will because we want to escape the radiation some though have nowhere to run to this was once a village those who lived here are returning to find there's simply nothing left the devastation just goes on and on. more than half a million people have been left homeless their belongings swallowed up and spat out
5:04 am
by the tsunami relief workers are searching for survivors all along japan's ravaged coast what's now a sea of debris fifteen thousand have already been rescued but over seven thousand are still missing and some parts haven't even been reached yet over two and a half thousand relief centers are still packed and will be for several weeks it's cold and uncomfortable but this is one of the few places these people can get food and shelter juge parts of the country have been completely wiped out by the threat of nuclear meltdown means there could still be more to come. meanwhile rescue operations in the country continue following the quake. japanese prime minister twenty six people have been rescued. the official death toll no reason to seven hundred. could the only thing.
5:05 am
worth taking any clue tell them about the latest development. this morning fire broke out at the fourth reactor at that. extinguished so was seemingly on its own about half an hour later however i believe hundred workers which is where we had originally planned to remains and they were pulled out later or at least earlier today because. of radiation levels which again were too high we do know that radiation levels are but skyrocketing all across the country in fact. it's just a little over a hundred miles north of tokyo already seen three hundred times their normal amount we also know that radiation levels in tokyo measured by those who are arriving at the airport just this morning they were about eleven times they do they think that it's better to be a normal or safe i wouldn't say the people are running around screaming in horror
5:06 am
at the moment but you have to notice that certainly certainly. in the air there is not that many people out on the streets those who are in the street are wearing masks and they have their hair covered which is of some of the elementary cautions which are said to be somewhat helpful in the case. but in the case of radiation exposure some food has been wiped off the shelves it could go to any could mean in store you'll see that most of them are essentially mostly empty people are being told by the government the current radiation levels are high that exceptional rate there is you know inflows and dangerous. however as evidence shows as history shows the japanese government has exactly proven to be always so always always trustworthy and everything that it does work with forth to the public should actually be checked it hears the report and act with reactors and difficult she were a nuclear power plants having gone up in smoke fears about
5:07 am
a possible meltdown loom large japanese authorities give assurances there is no imminent threat to tokyo residents but past evidence suggests they are not to be trusted completely many years and you can the street and the regulators in japan but also in every society every country or preach nuclear power you find consistently you get there's a lack of transparency a lack of will. be just think i think we can but that's too much information why should we information in fact just five years ago the plant operator tokyo electric power company or tepco its message to falsifying temperature readings for cooling materials advocacy much as early as in one nine hundred eighty five and with the country now facing a major disaster the government will be careful in choosing its words. i think what is going to happen in the juggle is go.
5:08 am
but also the accountable to other countries and other nations. in two thousand to the governments disclose that at least twenty nine cases of damage to the reactor had been swept under the carpet that incident because presidents and some senior officials to quit in scandal in two thousand and three seventeen ted cooperated clarence ordered to be shut down again because the operator lied about what was happening at these sites so when the japanese officials put on a somber face but give assurances everything's fine not everyone's convinced particularly when the country's already got enough other problems to deal with if you don't have the emergency resources if your infrastructure has been destroyed and the further you go away from the reactor the more difficult but more the worse the population settlements are the more difficult it is to evacuate you don't want
5:09 am
to panic the public to get them to provide kuwait i may be on within we put themselves in harm's way but when thousands of lives are on the line such a policy can easily be counterproductive there is a growing distrust among. the information that we're receiving is not arming us to the extent that we would like and when it doesn't reduce it just makes people all the more uncertain and when the believing can't trust the information. as it stands japan appears to be balancing on the brink of a nuclear meltdown and though the official version of events implores everyone to stay calm history shows not all their words could be taken at face value in tokyo it even goes r t. one nuclear power greenpeace yonhap account so even when work is can get through the control rooms in a plant the task they face coupled with the condition perhaps here is here means predicting the thing that is impossible. the situation of his moment remains
5:10 am
critical it will remain critical several days and there's only fifty people allowed in the plans of the moms and they're working fifteen minutes shifts which is beenz is very little and they have to work very many things why home is because remote control installations have gone down the main operating room is not usable because of radiation levels they're working under extremely difficult circumstances to try to prevent the worst from the worst fleetwood which would indeed be a core that is completely dry and that would would lead to a meltdown it is very early now to predict what would happen because it would depend on how much of the material would get out it would be penciled what the sea streets would be what the wind with me what is certain is that the spread of this material in the air would not go as far as that we've seen with the reason for that is that it will all be boosted its high in the air because there is no graphite in it likely to be in the chernobyl reactor and that means that most of the city would
5:11 am
fall nearer to the nuclear power station and there it would create larger havoc that we've seen it in a case of. well if you're in the effort to the areas you can share your experiences by locking onto facebook account just and the right after ron what i'll pay tolls and how the latest video analysis and news on the situation in japan as well as all our other top stories think you know something i think the rest of the brought it happens to you on. whatever up later this hour we sit down with walt how does a nuclear physicist and associate fellow chap and how often he shows his express appeared on the situation in japan. rubble news that they may have water levels rising and falling they may have fuel exposed we know that they have helped fuel exposed which is produce the the reaction the reaction between the more. metal quietly in the water what produces the hydrogen so we've certainly had some fuel
5:12 am
very much you may well have fuel ceramic fuel pellets that are now also circulating through the core and that will be clogging up channels and generally generally two new configuration of the geometry of the core and unless the reactor and worse the reactor engineers know what is going on they're liable to do something wrong. and there are today with the very latest breaking news the focus on a power plant and auntie's twitter play age as well i tweets from our correspondents in japan find out what's happening in the capital tokyo and again as a little more than one hundred kilometers from the nuclear power plant itself also there the latest news on the devastation in the country on the most interesting legs all that and our twitter account r.t. underscore. now in libya colonel gadhafi forces have gained more

a ban on all flights over libyan airspace excluding humanitarian aid missions it also of course the restricted implementation of arms embargoes adopted in resolution one mind over two weeks ago at the same time it also calls for the present prevention of foreign. no east being able to continue. all of this last resort you since i know size zero is to try and protect the lives of civilians but many people here feel that if indeed it is approved it will be too little too late and also it will open the door possibly for an excuse for an intervention in france is faith in officially supporting the libyan opposition power in and paris sing situations and it's omens a visiting professor of international relations at bill can see the vast sea and. they draw a gun and look at our trade you have. the
