a limper council meets and spectators with disabilities. it's three pm in moscow this is archie coming to you live and he said now with our top story this hour is exactly three months since the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit japan causing widespread destruction and leaving some fifteen thousand people dead the nuclear crisis that followed shows no signs of abating as radiation continues to leak forcing tens of thousands of evacuees into crowded shelters our correspondent sean thomas is in tokyo where anger over the situation is spilling onto the streets. of course it is the three months after they got a standing earthquake and tsunami which rocked to japan and devastated the fukushima region of course creating the nuclear disaster at the tepco daiichi power plant where we now know that three reactors have melted down and possibly melted

throughout today is a very interesting day at the tepco headquarters in central tokyo thousands of people have gathered so much in support of nuclear power believe it or not and thousands more who are walking the streets in organized protests carrying signs and banners and shouting out slogans or through loudspeakers against nuclear power saying that there needs to be alternative sources of energy of all of this of course in front of the tepco headquarters the company responsible for the daiichi power plant that one of the reasons why this is important is that within the past week the new installation has come out saying that helped go at the initial phases of the disaster lied about the amount of radiation that was coming in and tried to downplay the situation saying that the radiation levels were not as bad that there could possibly be a meltdown then of course this past week it was revealed that they cut those numbers off in a half in fact and that the announcer the radiation was much much larger of course on all wrong. one of the situation with the radioactive emissions has not changed

in the last three months nothing has changed since the very beginning the communities devastated the people have no homes there's no place to walk everything is destroyed one thing that people are worried about is the amount of radioactive water that is in the area this is the beginning of the rainy season and people are worried that with more rain that radioactive water will then spill out and flooding the area causing washing temptation also people are very angry about the children there are schools which are contaminated as well right now kids are exposed to higher levels of radiation that they ever have been in the past and they have to stay inside in sealed buildings without the ability to play outside it's also very hot and impossible because. they're angry about this about one person from the prime minister sharon has actually all resigned saying that he will not subject his time trials of s.d.a. think it is a kind of goes this is a with the ministers with their own children to jack themselves to these higher levels of radiation of course our goal is an archie cruise to go into the fukushima

zone and we're going to go in with some cleanup crews in see how that process is going right now but from tokyo sean thomas our team. still ahead for you this hour hackers seen as heroes or criminals they can solve. everything they are they are the approach for all of the security systems. we ask people in the big apple how they feel about cyber attacks becoming more and more frequent. bus to our close up team on a journey to one of the most beautiful locations in russia since the mysterious the name city that. some members of the u.s. congress have reportedly received a letter from colonel gadhafi saying he is ready to negotiate a cease fire and authenticity of the letter has not been confirmed meanwhile nato airstrikes continue to rock tripoli it comes as gadhafi is daughter filed a lawsuit against french president nicolas sarkozy and nato for killing four

professionals and local homages for example few people knew that the bodies were buried in actual balls a wide considering none of the rivers here were navigable well now it's believed as such and start in order to get to haven't the soul of the departed had to cross a river these days the surrounding area may once again be a law if with agriculture and opportunity but is being deserted by people in search of a different lifestyle. for a local ascension volodya this is a devastating fact he has built his own hydro power plant that provides him and his family with tricity but he doesn't know who will inherit his legacy movie for the idea was born i did ten years ago but it took me several years to build it from scratch i used everything i could possibly find i call my invention a freeflow wheel but what i see now is that people are leaving half of our village
