has hit its highest level against the u.s. for the since the second world war in business in ten minutes. libyan opposition forces are calling for an end to the month long violence while russia was pushing for a cease fire resolution to be put in place do not to visions however doesn't seem quite ready just yet to make any decisions. this is live from moscow good to have you with us to come is struggling to regain control over the nvidia reactors at the think ashima nuclear plant after a series of fires the government's most senior spokesman says cooling reactor number three is now the top priority because it's posing the biggest danger miniature helicopters all current he was on to the second reactor in at the latest to. that sneeze kid meltdown other aircraft are monitoring the amount of radiation

if levels gets too high for the x. rays talked to was a talent will be deployed to try to get the temperature of troubled reactors to drop assays either but it is in the region says many more about fleeing the area terrified by the threat of meltdown. the sheer force of the tsunami was hard to comprehend until i saw this he calls on houses it impossible angles it was as if the ground surface had been ripped off. this woman told us they've never experienced such a powerful earthquake before and she feared for her life we weren't allowed out of the car at the coast but police were on high alert and suddenly there was panic. warnings of a five metre high wall of water heading our way go go go this man shouted at us we sped inland as fast as possible chased by others the last wave took just nine

minutes after the earthquake to reach eight kilometers inland we didn't have a long this was a false alarm but those already on their knees are bracing themselves for more of the relief center in sendai the newly homeless are given blankets and a cardboard sheet all nineteen floors of this building a full with everyone from infants for the elderly. the night i spent here was be to leak old and virtually sleepless some could be here for weeks everyone had a story to tell about their moment of terror. there is waning here. first an earthquake then the tsunami now radiation road blocks around fukushima appeared as early as saturday since then he has been steadily building just like the keys it took an hour to get past this jan of cars for one thing to fill up

fearing fuel shortages it may not be visible hysteria but the anxieties fronted essential stockpiling as the threat escalates and more and more leaving i was traveling with his crew from new zealand when we heard there had been a fourth explosion the plant quickly changed to an exit strategy at niigata i met this young family from sendai a baby boy was just five days old when the earthquake struck. the only thing i thought about when it happened was i have to save my baby how these feel about the radiation i said. that's why i have left since i am scared for my baby and i don't want him to get ill it can have a very negative impact on him on a train to tokyo it was more of the same this tourist just changed his flight out to the earliest available to get his nose this. is true. when it comes to radiation the people i've met year aren't sure the government's

telling the full story and most aren't willing to wait around to find out either bennett artsy. but energy of guys are all going to us and has been watching the japanese nuclear crisis closely with explains the last thing harmful consequences. the radiation exposures are so high and sight that i don't think human beings can get into the areas that need to be accessed in order to put the fire to put the fires out and also to get water into the locations where the heat is the highest and if there's any lucky thing that's happened so far as the wind has mainly been blowing out to see if the wind turns to the to the cell i expect he will see radiation in tokyo i don't believe it will be enough to evacuate tokyo but i think it would be prudent to take precautions and you know try to stay out and stay out of the plume you know the asiatic region they're already beginning to reroute

airlines because they're afraid of the the radiation landing on the airplane and you know of a plane from from tokyo to moscow for instance will fly through that plume so it's it will definitely begin to affect asiatic travel i don't think the government is lying i do think the government is not telling him everything it knows you know i study chernobyl and i was an expert witness on three mile island and the government is always behind the eight ball on these things they are deliberately trying to downplay the amount of radiation being released by the international atomic energy commission estimated five percent of the core had failed in fact seventy percent so these guys have come in with global estimates for quite a few days now. that. they are with an unprecedented crisis that's in it solved some of that and you can. the

latest information that we're getting from the japanese government is that there were attempts being made it to cool down reactor number four helicopters that fly over the reactor this morning did see water on them unfortunately people only able to make or of such flyovers and the experts say around a hundred are needed in order to have any cooling effects whatsoever in the catastrophe of this scale also there have been reports as of this morning that temperatures in the first in the sixth reactor the only remaining fully intact reactors at fukushima temperatures there have also gone up there at about sixty degrees celsius they should be about twenty five u.s. authorities going to start a charter planes for those of their nationals willing to get out of the country so those so the charter planes will be able to help them in doing so earlier on the thursday wanted to go as energy research did say that he considers that he considers to be in a state of meltdown the japanese authorities were quick to dispel that information

saying that they were just not fast enough and providing all of the accurate in necessary information to their american counterparts the i.a.e.a. and organization which should be keeping tabs on the use of nuclear power in the world and there should be keeping a close eye on the plans as such just because she well they were nowhere to be valid until just very recently and some already asked him questions what exactly is are you doing in these circumstances i miss reports that radiation levels in the japanese capital could be up to eleven times the norm people scramble to get away from the invisible killer here in tokyo three do seem to be less busy the usual at the epicenter of japan's nuclear disaster fifty people remain struggling to keep the reactors under control with wheat the international atomic energy agency the exponents of peaceful use of nuclear power here in japan arriving for disease after

the first. the nuclear plant the i.a.e.a. is a promoter of nuclear power whose job is not to necessarily be able to come to the rescue of failed attempts at maintaining quality design in and protecting the public from natural disaster such as we're dealing with here although they'll sell that message when the twin approved when the proof is in the putting you can clearly see that the i.a.e.a. has absolutely no ability to deal with this problem any more than the japanese government the very people who should be keeping tabs on the situation seemed to have their little direct involvement in it and backed until now and the only source of information was the japanese government for years the organization has been busy with their mission statement to maintain nuclear energy for peaceful means in two thousand and five and mid increase inspections of iranian facilities the organization and its then chairman mohamed el baradei i was awarded a nobel peace prize but by the looks of it concerns over

a possible un sanctioned uses of nuclear energy by countries like iran seem to have overshadowed the clear and present dangers of already existing nuclear power plants in countries like japan and now if they remain in workers who have to battle fire smoke and radiation at what remains of the fukushima power plant there's only fifty people allowed on the plant of the moms and they work in fifteen minutes shifts which is which is very little and they have to work very many things by hand 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 with all six reactors showing signs of instability only fifty people remain database with a problem putting their lives at risk while the high and mighty authorities seem to prefer to watch on from a safe distance in

a house two are in tokyo. well the one wants bracing itself for the worth of the situation deteriorates. but also a consequence of not stopping. me from north seeing into its own limitations. we know it's a level six foot shima heading to level seven which was the chernobyl event what's going on here is we gen that group even after the comcast merger still has a significant stake in n d c we see the nuclear lobby through the nuclear energy institute and all their other page. putting a full court press on every possible media outlet in addition to members of congress to make sure that nothing happens to affect the growth of nuclear power plants in this country and president obama i would add not only has jeffrey immelt as his jobs and competitiveness of adviser on our way house panel but he took

a lot of money from exelon a chicago based nuclear power plant company so we have all kinds of conflicts of interest basically what admiral has said many decades ago but get the corporate board room out of the newsroom now we see the effects. on our core of. why thoughts are made to react if it is he is experiencing. atomic analysts pointing out that the american designs i can see where we want to have them built in flaws but. we are expecting the u.s. . is unlikely to get that plane. right now a lot of people are wondering who they can point the finger at whether it's general electric who actually designed these nuclear reactors or the operator which in this case is tepco tokyo electric power company and actually when you take a deeper look into japanese law general electric will actually not be liable for

any of the accident or damage that happened at these nuclear reactors which could save them potentially tens or hundreds of billions of dollars so they're probably breathing a little bit of a sigh of relief right now actually tepco the operator of the nuclear reactors would it be responsible for those liability costs now many people are saying that in fact they're worth some design flaws or the. situation is so much of pressure and with this too little water is going in the steam comes out and pressure is rising the japanese are trying to release the vapor by reducing the pressure so they could actually open the. main mistake of the businesses provide a solution. to cut expenses and it's just one single issue for the portrait which has been completed one recent example was going to the gulf of mexico. it's an american nuclear disaster for reactors simply explosions were built by the american

general electric company over the plan was constructed even designed mainly by american experts japan itself doesn't produce any reactors and the country is forbidden to engage in any nuclear research so we are witnessing the drama of the american energy industry just going to happen in the japanese territory general electric is very keen on tapping into the one hundred fifty billion dollar nuclear energy business here in india india is one example of many countries who are looking to expand their nuclear power market however obviously a lot of questions are being raised here in india across asia most nuclear power plant construction has been halted actually when president obama made his asia trip back in november jeffrey m. all the chairman she came with him and president obama was hoping to ease up on liability laws that would make american companies responsible of an accident like what happened in japan was to happen here in india however that isn't the case as

of right now indian law would hold an american company like g.e. liable if an accident like that was to happen here and because of that many people wonder why there are not. well in fact i'll continue to invest so much money but they seem like a logical partner since india wants to boost its atomic energy by thirteen times by twenty thirty so the partnership seems to be a logical one yet you know people across the world as i said before starting to question whether or not they want to work with an american company on a project like this. the. campaign group from washington told us that the total meltdown of the casino is now looking more and more probable. certainly there lives or immediately at stake. and clearly they have sacrificed any kind of long life by being there and actually there is concern

for people who come in contact with them after coming out of this catastrophe essentially for three units or are in meltdown mode. clearly two of the containment systems are damaged and clearly unit number four it has lost all water cooling and clearly we have a full court meltdown maybe on its way without any containment whatsoever and the concern is that if they do not restore power to that facility that all six reactors could become fully engaged in a meltdown it really becomes then a matter of which way the wind blows and it will carry tremendous amounts of deadly radiation sickening radiation and the consequence is a really. i can't really comprehend what it could mean not only in the immediate

pathway but in the cloud begins to globally move over russia as the far east and then region which neighbors japan and some. phone. calls are still taking serious of course and. the concentration of radiation in russia spark is remains normal that's according to russia's main why the agency now there is no immediate rights to these parts of russia first of all because of favorable weather conditions. radioactive clouds current go straight out into the pacific ocean away from russia that is if the wind doesn't change direction after radiation levels spiked at daiichi nuclear at seventeen our weather stations across russia have been constantly carrying out

checks we're now in the city that is russia's largest port city on the pacific ocean this city is only part hundred seventy miles away from local residents are taking no chances on top of official reports are also mourning tory radiation levels on the road the current situation to go ahead and take their safety in their own hands that's why i'm going to use council which you know done has been sold out at pharmacies across the city of leave us stock and the cheapest geiger counter costs as much as seven hundred dollars but especially say it's not an option just because that's a device you also need to be taught how to use it properly. this device to text you know mary's an x. rays it's also has an additional range. the biggest problem in japan right now is the radiation dose in the air with his device is going to take the level of radiation when you come from c i'm clean right now. but we have also

managed to get our hands on a professional alex shaunie geiger counter you are to use it is the one which for example rushes a margin says ministry eclipses cars and stations where as a bully in the studio with. radiation levels. between twelve to thirteen microns per hour with and with and allows that soon all this area. standing at some thirty five microns per hour or so not yet critical but still the reading is higher than that on the island for example. ok michael pathology specialist. one i gave off his insights into how people may be affects a bunch of cons need to situation to hear outlined the key dangers. and the. risk is a cancerous so. it is a reason. for

those i have. made asians as many months in many years later as they can get up and say special. and also eat here so i think this name another should be the baseline those patient. populations and the radiation and then which are all in that case that they have to meet and see if he doesn't use this and he shouldn't have had to ask in space but a page to show your thoughts on the try to. contain its nuclear crisis tell us what do you think that development such as the power lines being drawn along are helping to allow a more stable releases political seaboard places videos around us and what's happening right now in japan as well as on a lot of top stories just type in the news into the facebook set top box. cost into libya and our offices and supporters of moss from the rebel held city of

the with the call to end the country's month long war violence russia has been pushing for a cease fire resolution through the un security council which is safe off failed to make any decision on the imposition often flies a. isn't true either. the u.n. security council has a really for two days baiting the question of what to do over libya and the last word we have from diplomats is that we must not expect a decision before today through the british in fact that decision comes through it still remains to be seen the sticking point of course is the whole question of a no fly zone and france are still pushing heavily forward the latest word from the french is that some of the countries that are in the arab league and never gave the nod to the no fly zone of it have indicated that they will be part of the mission and part of the assistance to put them in place but of course on the other side you do have countries such as russia and germany that of the women he opposed to it in other parts of the discussion that the u.n. security council is focusing on is the question of sanctions and here there does

seem to be more consensus in the international community to stick to sanctions on the gadhafi regime and his family and on his high level of associates sanctions ever will see a freeze on their assets and downs in their travel movements in benghazi itself is changing and there was a massive demonstration on wednesday with people took to the streets calling for an end to the violence but that violence continues on the run and down the road some one hundred fifty kilometers away in the town of adjenda but the gadhafi is warplanes his tanks we've had reports of a k forty seven zone heavy shelling have continued and and look set to continue today thursday here in tripoli though the mood is very different when i speak to officials there bending about the weekend as a good line which they say gadhafi would have completely obliterated his opposition and that opposition is again appealing to the international community with many people in benghazi itself saying that the international community talks about its concern of collateral damage well they said people in benghazi will be more than

collateral damage if gadhafi has his way. and. dealing with the situation in libya is its own affair but one as being a thing. or bring it in for the next hour that has just some of what he told us. have been a widow who wants her out and we are dealing with something important to us from abroad i mean al qaeda the terrorists leadership began to tell the world about protests in libya about shooting of thousands killed they sent their reports to the news agencies and all of a sudden we found out of the whole world was against libya but we have had no protests how could news agencies reports not state the number of victims is one hundred fifty to two hundred how could one speak about thousands how can the un security council and the whole world decide based on media reports and it's now difficult to change world opinion on perception of what's going on that the situation is believed to be in crisis desperate and problematic as for us we

consider this a libyan crisis a libyan disaster and a libyan problem. up i had said and asked of meds that until they were right now or the latest as with libya. hello and a very welcome to the business news here on our team a japanese yen has hit its highest level against the u.s. dollar says they handled the second world climbed skies seven to six and a quarter and u.s. trade on players day but it's since falling and is currently trading at around

seventy nine a dollar mark or just plain the strong hand and they're about ration of nonsense and foreign chorus save japanese insurance funds and while chase seven finance ministers own each on. how to deal with the closure of markets all it'll take analysts expect it is just to give japan to go ahead to intervene in courts and markets to study it here and this week japan's central five objected to hundred and eighty four billion dollars in order to stabilize the country's financial markets which help and i am massive selloff. well let's see how the asian markets all be forming on thursday the nuclear race imposed quite pleasing but one state losing one point two percent up the clues in japan and elsewhere in asia sawmills us to u.s. officials to press coverage strong radiation leak coming as quake stricken japanese nuclear plant has fried clams and scientists wouldn't impose.

in brush their choice in the eyes of so high in the trade situation in japan is still weighing on the markets but is this a new news coming from the country going bust his or using their chance to. soften the cuts as the divisional show moves banking shares on the main winners the sounds are gone because more than two percent higher and she shares up on the rise as well prices go higher truths nafta's flies in the one percent will clearly smoke behind them five percent higher. if you click prices will remain the key driver for the markets again today i think it came from christine as concerns stock exchanges balancing between mass so while. the markets today will continue to focus on the development of the situation in japan whether the

rescue operation will have any success or not and this will signify for the global markets that we are either in the situation which is a huge buying opportunity or a situation which is a middle point of a bigger itself among the important data that we will expect today is the u.s. jobless claims states that is likely to be overshadowed by external factors that will impact markets across our geography. and so have time for know your options so you.
