it is ten am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me wearing a josh welcome to the program a radioactive substance has been detected in seawater around pants but will seem a plant with concentration levels two hundred forty times higher than the safe limit scientists warned of the strong elements is highly dangerous to humans as it can accumulate in bones and is believed to cost cancer shawn thomas has been to fukushima city to measure radiation levels. here we are eighty kilometers away and the radiation levels in this area many many places in many instances. are fairly close because if you look at a map of where fukushima city is in relation to the actual nuclear facility plant

number one where a lot of that radiation. from the winds are bringing that radiation in to cima 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 dose or so very very dangerous levels and so scientists that we're working with today from different universities are working together on projects to try to figure out ways to use a simple methods to actually clean that radiation up and these guys actually. real . are working could be can contaminate the soil right now and. then as you can see these two gentlemen are wearing any protective clothing that the scientists are so one of the concerns is that you can actually have one spot which it's only thirty times in the accepted normal levels and then you go to another spot which is just a metre away and it can jump to five hundred to

a thousand times depending on where rainwater and mud have collected one of the concerns of course is that grass is. to filter for nuclear radiation i think material in such. places when they go to those areas they could actually be absorbing the radiation from the grass as 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 within the city should be evacuated because of the very very high micro places. if you will where the radiation is the charts chantelle is reporting there from fukushima all the fukushima nuclear crisis has also sent shock waves through the world's motor industry as rumors cause potential buyers to lose face in japanese cars before it

suggests that contaminated vehicles are finding their way into the european market chatzky has more. oh has been contemplating a change of heart core for months a fan of japanese vehicles she wanted to upgrade her old fraud or two 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 the shipment was supposedly blocked by the authorities. but unofficial dealers bribed them and got those cars on to the streets officials at the poor 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 before it is claimed there's absolutely no chance of contaminated growth making their way onto the territory 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 over any biological threat. call ever ecologists say these checks may not be enough to determine radiation boeing is a radioactive particles are very small and hundreds of the they can be found in fields just radiators inside small that's why it's very difficult to detect them with regular guy good hunters the disposal of the customs unit security experts say the sale of contaminated steel is not something new for ukraine these shorts were filmed inside the chernobyl exclusion zone several years ago scavengers stealing contaminated radiators from the girls down of one course around twenty dollars on the black market tens of thousands have been removed from the 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 term. to buy a new jeopardy's car is too hard to resist experts advise turning to professionals to check whether it is say let's see or shows to you all see it watching from just . in ukraine. i see as rescue has been reporting from the side of what is is known as the world's worst nuclear disaster but manny fear that a meltdown of fukushima could take its place check out a lot of prosperous c.d.f. keep it near the turn of a power plant to see how it looks now and i see you made a special report from there for the twenty fifth anniversary of the disaster it's viewable at our website or t. dot com in the documentary section. sounds have been out on the streets of athens in protest against the second round of austerity measures the bait in the greek parliament people don't want new taxes or wage cuts or without down the country will not receive international bailout money aren't you

love to say that sixty percent of the bulls are out of the job i still think forty three percent to fifteen to twenty four year old thousand what he's begun to some of the younger people here they say they're turning out the same really i think they're right but what we should put the blame is on police and the voting system. but the people of goose doesn't help in doing things. but situation the look on the game and that's why we came here to tell them that they are in table b. awful so you just want to. go our way mate cover elections now and to make a new government that will sell cars and people to improve on. you. well maybe they are that way that that right there. right through. the fire. i think you can.

there's growing anti israeli feeling in europe was calls an e.u. and u.s. governments to stop ignoring the occupation of palestinian land and though politicians remain silent activists rally to draw attention to the plight of the palestinian people so has more from brussels. of rage against israel thousands call for the boycott of israeli goods over its continued expansion of palestinian land a jewish demonstrates a says enough is enough. the american leaders do nothing that the e.u. does nothing the repeated un resolutions have ruled israeli settlements illegal and activists want the european union to halt the main exports of the occupied territories and fruits they fall to human barricades it's a use

gaza and one of the things i've been saying to the israelis for some time is it's in their interest to see economic growth and development dollars are lots of small businesses you know that could really do well lots of people who want jobs eighty percent of people in gaza receive food aid so many young people who don't have a future and part of the answer to that part of making sure that we have security is giving them that future and that means allowing in and out the products the goods were girls or could actually sell and support its own economy. now a brief look at some other headlines across the globe in our world date clashes have erupted in turkey following recent parliamentary elections thousands of pro kurdish party supporters which won just six percent of the votes clashed with police as officers fought to disperse stone throwing protesters fifty percent of the votes
