meanwhile a small group on the evacuees had been briefly allowed back inside the radiation exclusion zone for the first time the government gave permission for a short visits so people could gather belongings and check on their properties nuclear research a doctor robert jacobs says if the troubled reacts adults collapse it would make the work at the sides and possible. this began a speculation among those of us watching the incident because on the webcam in which you can watch it you can look at the four reactors it began to be on b.s. that building number four was leading to the right a little bit from the visual field of the webcam. and it now just tonight actually in a release of information from the japanese government they have confirmed that there has been work started yesterday to shore up the structure of the building and specifically the upper floor now in this reactor you have the spent fuel pool that is a much larger spent fuel pool it has fuel rods from three to four reactors in there

and this part of the building is beginning to lean and because of the explosion of reactor three there is some questions about the structural integrity of the building of reactor four and if that were to collapse you would have all of the fuel in that spent fuel pool just scattered about on the ground and outside of the increasing very very high level of contamination and you would also have radiation rise to levels that would make it very problematic for workers to continue to work on the site at all in these situations managing public opinion is as serious an operation as managing the crisis itself you know what you have here in is you have four reactors that are still emitting significant amounts of radiation into the environment so this is not a situation that has been brought under control it is a situation in which the large releases have been largely the explosions of the first we have been going past but now we just have ongoing leakage so to continue to tell people about that to make it and to continue to provide

a lot of information about their leakage will cause higher levels of distress and also the perception that neither time nor the government is in control of the situation so it's a lot easier to just who is it reduce the amount of information that the public has so that you're able to control the situation at least from the point of view of public opinion and and had people from head again. senior u.s. and chinese officials have been putting on a show of oil despite a suspicion that lurk not far behind they've been meeting to try and fix the crime for their shaky relationship consensus won't come cheap and nasty as christine explained. they say you should keep your friends close. and your enemies closer and as far as where china fits perceptions continue to evolve at this year's u.s. china strategic economic dialogue an attempt by officials from both the u.s.

and china a friendship we recognize that our ability to work together is important for the overall health and stability of the global economy woman physically what do you have for the people of china and the united states live in the same globe village. you are on the worst side. of purpose to open communication on concerns like the debt ceiling in the u.s. and the rate of currency of the shisha in china and join concerns about the environment we both have a great stake in car being climate change and charting a clean and secure energy future currently china is the second highest producer in the world of renewable energy technology the u.s. ranks seventeenth the overriding theme for day one of the us china strategic economic dialogue and to respect and understanding that just because there is competition doesn't mean there can't be cooperation competition is not bad

competition is healthy is good. this is the reason why i have held the view for so many years and continue to hold the view that a rising china is a positive development it's a far cry from the dialogue of recent times were top decision makers in the us have been told that an increased power means an increased threat one that will eventually need to be dealt with by war and the way to with boyd this war i believe is going to require and we're going to be able to get away from it in any case some kind of arms race with china but china is going to keep building and improving its capabilities each year the pentagon comes out with this report military and security developments involving the people's republic of china the findings often use to intensify military spending we are now looking at a power in the western pacific that can stand up to us or if there's

a problem in response military spending is now more than the rest of the world combined six times more and china. as a result of u.s. debt has ballooned to more than fourteen trillion dollars much of that debt is owned by china it's at a time when many of the countries neighborhoods look like this and urban areas like this still for some including the mainstream media the military is often the first priority when it comes to spending beijing is rapidly modernizing its strategic nuclear forces and developing space weaponry china is developing ten raisa ballistic missiles some of which will be able to strike the continental united states but critics say the threat from china is not the people's liberation army the threat from china is it's growing economic might like every economist you thought through in washington now is saying the new one soon is going to be. the actual currency of the world maybe by two thousand and twenty so the economic

policy of washington should lead and not the pentagon so for. and or thought oh this day top leaders here are on all fronts with this message building mutual trust and respect will help us to solve shared problems but that view may change again when it comes time to play defense to secure more money and more power for the military in washington christine frees our party. well. knox and stacy allen called the legs down and it's in high finance because the report assesses food prices through the eyes of the u.s. federal reserve here's what's ahead. if your vendor ninety the way to do the job as he conducts his policy first take a large stick and poke out your eye there now you're half blind now look at the statistics in front of you and don't count wages and look at the tips treasury
