it's seven pm in moscow this is our team coming to you by now with our top story this hour and three months on japan the struggling to recover from its toughest crisis since the second world war when a nine magnitude earthquake santa maria salissa nami which left thousands dead and missing a natural disaster triggered a major radiation leak at the fukushima nuclear facility and it's still on the verge of a full scale nuclear catastrophe our correspondent sean thomas is in tokyo where anger over the situation is spilling onto the streets. it is three months after the devastating earthquake and tsunami which rocks 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
11:02 am
people have gathered some 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 through loudspeakers against nuclear power saying that there needs to be alternative sources of energy of all this of course and for the tepco headquarters the company responsible for the daiichi 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 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 half in fact. the government is not providing proper information and people young and old want to know the truth of the sun 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 the people have no homes there is no place to walk everything is destroyed the school also coming to life is the nuclear fuel not only melted down but possibly melted in or containment vessels 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 the more rain that radioactive water will then still out in flood in the area of possible contamination also people are very angry about the children their schools which are contaminated is. well right now kids are exposed to higher levels of radiation really ever have been in the past and they have to stay inside in sealed buildings probability to play outside it's also very hot the possible locations just like a very angry about their surprise one person from the prime minister's cabinet has actually said he will not subject his own trial to see a change it is

a kind of noah's wish to stay within the system with the law and children to jack themselves to these higher levels of radiation of course our boys and archie crews go into the fukushima zone and we're going to go in with some clean up crews in see how that process is going right now but from tokyo john thomas artsy. president of the fukushima district and those who live nearby have not only faced radiation exposure but also social exclusion that's according to dr robert j. cup professor of nuclear history at the hiroshima peace institute. there are still people living in areas where there's high radiation and there's children going to school in areas where there's high radiation and so there's been a reluctance to move as quickly as possible and a lot of people from the fukushima area who even people who were born there but we live in tokyo are experiencing discrimination in japan by people who consider them possibly contaminated even though radiation is not transferable to other people but there are a lot of problems ahead if i can give one quick example in august there's

a very important holiday in japan called obama on in which everyone returns to their hometown because the spirits of ancestors come to their burial places where their ashes are interned and the family welcomes them these people exclusion zone will not be able to observe this will they just holiday and welcome there the spirits of their ancestors who return a note on when people find that they're unable to carry out their familial obligations for decades because they can't return to these areas people tend to blame themselves even if there are structural reasons so there needs to be some work done to help people through not just the radiation exposure but the social breakdowns that follow radiation exposures in communities. you're watching our t.v. live from moscow coming up for you the president goes fishing for opinion on the recent king of tax and giant companies like sony and master card. but they can be our heroes because they can be sold. everything they are they are their approach to
