they didn't go on whether it's a group of reactor number one it is a group of hundred thirty richard roth who are marching through their love or do you get to be free from short term but in particular three and coming up we have all been through. a meal plans to expand its air strikes and leave us northwest while colonel gadhafi uses a high profile game of chess to reiterate his reluctance to leave the country plus . we enter it we are we are we is this new media high over the scandalous case of american senator tweeting racy pictures of himself sparks concerns that the u.s. is letting vasa overshadow real news. in

the russian capital you are aware that josh welcome to the program a radioactive substance has been detected in seawater around japan's fukushima plant with concentration levels two hundred forty times more than the safe limit scientists warn that the strontium element is highly dangerous for humans as it can accumulate in bones and is believed to cause cancer artie's sean thomas measured the radiation africa city and says in some spots it's a thousand times higher than normal. here we're eighty kilometers away and the radiation levels in this area in many many places in many instances are much greater or really close because if you look at a map of where pretty much a city is in relation to the actual nuclear facility about the plant number one

where a lot of bad radiation. reading from the winds are bringing that radiation in it to frequency shima city and the rain in the wind is blowing the radiation in this direction so we were at a spot where the radiation levels were one thousand times what is considered to be a safe dosage so. very very dangerous levels and so scientists that we are working with today. different universities are working together on projects or trying to figure out ways to use a simple mistakes to actually clean that radiation up and these guys actually i can assure you these crimes. are working to decontaminate the soil right now. and as you can see these two gentlemen are wearing any protective clothing put the scientists are so one of the concerns is that you can actually have one spot which it's only thirty chimes in the accepted norm a little zone then you go to another spot which is just

a metre away and it can jump five hundred to a thousand times depending on where rain water and mud have collected one of the concerns of course is that grass is you can get a filter for nuclear a really big material in. places when they go to those areas they could actually be absorbing more radiation from the grasses well so what's interesting is this area that we're in right now is considered a safe area it is not considered a mandatory evacuation area but authorities are looking into to see whether it should be considered evacuation or at least hotspots within the city should be evacuated because of these very very high micro places these small. but if you will where the radiation is just up the charts chinatowns reporting there from fukushima and the fukushima nuclear crisis has also sand shock waves through the world's motor industry as rumors cause potential buyers to lose face and

japanese cars officials maintain that all the poles are thoroughly checked for radiation before shipment by the reports suggest that contaminated vehicles could still find their way into the market likes here shasta has more. al has been contemplating a change of heart car for months a fan of japanese vehicles she wanted to upgrade her all for order to when you were model but her car dealing friend said it was not the right time but the us could also you know i was told privately that all new japanese cars are radioactive because of the fukushima disaster this shipment was supposedly blocked. but unofficial dealers brite them and got those cars onto the streets officials at the ports left off our question of whether there had been any contaminated cars here after the japanese fallout these off roaders worship in before the fukushima disaster in japan and even they were checked for radiation of the refuse claim

there's absolutely no chance of contaminated really growth making their way onto the territory is in police cars arrived to us transiting through greek and turkish ports if anything was wrong it would have been spotted there in the first place which was to double check all vehicles for any my logical fretless images however ecologists say these checks may not be enough to determine radiation flying is a right to be radioactive particles are very small and hundreds of vehicles can be found in fields just radiators inside small like this and it's why it's very difficult to detect them with a regular guy get the disposal of the customs unit. these shots were filmed inside the chernobyl exclusion zone several years ago scavengers stealing contaminated radiators from the ghost town of one costs around twenty dollars on the black market tens of thousands have been removed from this radioactive particles may be

small but are still gravely dangerous a person subjected to them for a lengthy period can experience various lung diseases and even cancer so use the temptation to buy a new japanese car is too hard to resist experts advise turning to prove. to check whether it is safe let's see or sense to you all to see because you from i just suck and in ukraine. colonel gadhafi said he's. he will not leave libya despite heavy pressure and he used a chess game was a visiting president of the world chess federation to repeat his defiance meanwhile nato made its move an ounce and plans that span the target area of its military strikes in libya and hit the forces in the northwestern part of the country there were reports that the rebels seized the city of zawiya just thirty kilometers from the capital tripoli but the claims were later denied by the libyan government yes radio host and peace activists wealth him and says that the west has hijacked the uprising in libya to serve its own interest. and the united states is spending two

is mounting on syria with britain and france pushing into raf un resolution but russia and china who oppose any attempts to intervene in the syrian conflict have said they won back the move however arab world observer adly mansour believes the west is using the u.n. to benefit from the country's civil conflict and the united nations. is is merely an international organization working to promote the interests of its most powerful members notably the united states britain and i thought was the worst the world has been sort of also from so in other countries in the european union because just as they are considering cracking down on the syrian government they have not considered cracking down on the government of bahrain or other or egypt point in time when there was also wins for what is happening in syria and simultaneously in almost all countries in the middle east and in north africa. we flexed internal problems all countries have internal problems no doubt about it and

there is a genuine desire on the part of many people in syria no doubt to get rid of its very fossilised government but there is also external interference notably from the united states and from britain and from france to take advantage of these internal problems. still to come on the program and see israeli sentiments gathering steam in europe activists demand authorities ban imports of products from the offer by palestinian territories. plus meet a car crash victim who made the road will tear a journey from the far east to moscow in a bid to draw attention to the daily challenges faced by disabled people. thousands have been out on the streets of athens in protest against a second round of the stary measures debated in the greek parliament people don't want new taxes or wage cuts but without them the country will not receive
