9:02 am
anger over the situation is spilling onto the streets. that is so three months after the devastating earthquake and tsunami which rocked 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 your clear power believe it or not and thousands more who are walking the streets in organized protests carrying signs and banners and shouting out slogans 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 guy power plant one of the reasons why this is important is that within the past week new information has come out saying that tepco at the initial phases of the disaster lied about the amount of radiation that was coming in and tried to downplay the situation saying
9:03 am
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 in a half in fact. the government is not providing proper information and people young and old want to know the truth of what's on the situation with the radioactive emissions has not changed in the last three months nothing has changed since the very beginning the communities devastated people have no homes there is no place to walk everything is destroyed also coming to life is that the nuclear fuel not only melted down but possibly melted through the inner containment vessels and into the outer stainless steel linings which is a much much more serious problem 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 more contamination also people are very
9:04 am
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 the possible ramifications here are very angry about the surprise one person from the prime minister sharon has our children so i have to say that he will not subject his i'm trying to this be a danger that is a kind of goes this is a within a certain with their own children to judge themselves to these higher levels of radiation of course our goal is in order to 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 are two. well coming up for you when archie the president goes fishing for opinions on the recent hacking attacks on giant companies like sony and master card. technically speaking they are heroes because they can sold. everything they are they are up front up front all of the security

systems and some of last positive takes on the hackers and their boat of in a few minutes also coming up. there are a lot of different legends and myths around this area in the past locals try to avoid going to the city of dallas as they say anyone who dares to get in will never get a life find out how russia close up dice to death to bring you this report from the mystical heart of the country's deep south. a number of u.s. congressmen have received a letter apparently written by colonel gadhafi saying he's ready to negotiate a cease fire and asking for humanitarian aid the authenticity of the letter has not been confirmed nato is continuing to step up its airstrikes on the capital tripoli that's despite despite from small suit by colonel gadhafi daughter against the french president she's suing because sarkozy and nato for killing four members of her family during an airstrike in april meanwhile the turkish prime minister has
9:06 am
offered colonel good. with the exit guarantees to wherever he chooses professor mark almond of oxford university says the libyan leader's position is not as weak as the west is making out. about his obviously under pressure who is also being bombed by nato but it also seemed that in the u.s. congress a resolution was passed highly critical of what president obama had done since the bombing started so he begins to sound so i think there is division in washington well perhaps in the west in general inside nature it's very difficult paul the u.s. and its major allies britain france to accept any kind of ceasefire with colonel gadhafi because they have repeatedly said that any such one can only follow who is leaving office leaving power on the other hand we have signs that in fact there are five channels between gadhafi and the rebels some of the rebel leaders who were in discussions with the voter lead as well as first week of so they also talked with
9:07 am
about islam and saw you have a problem but who is in charge of the bombing or the politics on the ground in the country will be decided by libya not necessarily as the nato leaders would like. but on our web site r.t. dot com we want to know how you think libya's deadlock can be resolved so far nearly two thirds think nato should withdraw admitting that gadhafi has won fifteen percent say thinks it can tell us they are until the conflict eventually and bar-lev and percent think only the ground forces will resolve the situation now the same amount field the un says send in peacekeepers and split libya in two. it's a gathering of political and financial elite and its veil of secrecy isn't forced by an army of security guards it's all bankrolled by swiss taxpayers even as europe tightens its belt and forces through brutal austerity cuts the bills are burnt conferences attended by people ranging from royalty to top news outlets c.e.o.'s
