6:03 am
it is. just after two pm here in moscow you without saying i'm wrong research now radioactive material has been detected in seawater around japan's fukushima plant with concentration levels two hundred and forty times higher than safety limits scientists warn the element strong to you is highly dangerous to humans as a kind of cumulating bones and possibly cause concept thomas has been to fukushima city to measure the radiation levels. here we're eighty kilometers away and the radiation levels in this area in many many places in many instances. are much higher or really 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. relating from the winds are bringing that radiation in the
6:04 am
. city and the rain and the wind is blowing the radiation in this direction so we were at a spot where the radiation levels or one thousand times what is considered to be a safe dose is so. very very dangerous levels and so scientists that we are working with today. 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 i can assure you. are working to contaminate the soil right now. and as you can see these two men aren't wearing any protective clothing but the scientists are so one of the concerns is that you can actually have one spot which it's only thirty times of 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 rain water and mud have collected one of the concerns of course is that grass is beginning to filter for nuclear
6:05 am
radio active material and are drawn to grassy 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 the very very high micro places. if you will where the radiation is just off the charts. strong thomas reporting that fukushima nuclear crisis has also sent shock waves through the world's most industry as rumors cause potential biased unease faith in japanese cars reports suggest that contaminated vehicles are finding their way into the european market and he has more on the story. oh has been contemplating
6:06 am
a change of her car for months a fan of japanese vehicles she wanted to upgrade her off roader when you were model but her car dealing friend said it was not the right time they're still here but the us could also yeah i was told privately that all new japanese cars are radioactive because of the fukushima disaster the shipment was supposedly blocked by the authorities at adesa but unofficial dealers bribed them and got those cars on to the streets officials at the poor left of our question 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 or for reduced claim there's absolutely no chance of contaminated growth making their way onto the territory is if these guys arrived to us transiting through greek and turkish ports if anything was wrong it would have been spotted there in the first
6:07 am
place which was to double check all vehicles for any biological threat. however ecologist say these checks may not be enough to determine radiation growing is a radioactive particles are very small and. around the vehicle they can be found in fields just radiators inside small that's why it's very difficult to detect them with regular geiger counters the disposal of the customs units 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 ghost town 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
6:08 am
term. hard to resist experts advise turning to professionals to check whether it is safe. well alexi has been reporting from the start considered to be the world's worst nuclear disaster but many fear the fukushima could actually take its place. once prosperous. new the power plant to see how it looks today. special report from that marking the disasters twenty fifth anniversary of course it's available on our web site. just look for it in the documentary. well thousands have been on the streets of athens in protest against the second round of austerity measures debated in the greek parliament people don't want a wage cuts but without them the country will not receive any international bailout money.
