america flaring around a sex related scandal involving a senator questions are raised if news outlets are turning into conflicts. worldwide news live from moscow this is arts he. welcomes the program a highly radioactive material has been detected in ground water and sea water samples near the fukushima nuclear facility in japan the element strong has been found in concentrations to one hundred times over the safety net can cause cancer and leukemia meanwhile japan's health and labor ministry says the number of workers exposed to dangerous levels of radiation has now risen to eight. fukushima city to measure radiation levels here. he's what he discovered. eighty kilometers

away and the radiation level in this area in many many places in many instances it is are much greater they are 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. anything from look a winds are bringing that radiation into 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 dose of 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 methods to actually clean that radiation up and you guys actually and sure you. are working to contaminate the soil right now.

and as you can see these two gentlemen are 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 chimes 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 rainwater and might have collected one of the concerns of course is that grass is you can see filter for nuclear ready i think material and are drawn to grassy places and 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 see whether it should be considered evacuation or at least hotspots within the city should be evacuated because of the the very very high micro places. if you will

where the radiation is just off the charts. reporting right that workers at the fukushima nuclear plant are running out of the ability to store radioactive water it means any leak might slow the recovery effort or even undermine it that's according to james corbett who speak. with an independent news website. any new leaks of any kind are going to be an incredible burden on the efforts that are already underway to try to clean up the water decontaminated because they are now running out of space to actually store the contaminated water in the fukushima in the immediate vicinity of the plant and i believe within two weeks they're actually going to run out of space so they're trying to get a system on line for treating the water but apparently they test for that it's going to be pushed back another few days it's already been pushed back from last friday so there is no such thing as a safe level of radiation exposure that any level of radiation exposure increases

the risk of cancer and however negligible that risk may be with any particular person on any particular day at any particular spot when it's averaged out over a large population like is living in the fukushima region that unfortunately means there will be over time an increase in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many. of the fukushima nuclear crisis has also sent shock waves through the japanese motor industry all of this and speculation that can someone who had vehicles could be heading out to the world's car market potential buyers are now thinking twice before making their way to japanese car showrooms. reports. al has been concept lighting a change of hardcore for months a fan of japanese vehicles she wanted to upgrade her off roader to 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 you know i was told privately that all new japanese cars are

radioactive because of the fukushima disaster this shipment was supposedly blocked by the authorities extra day or so hard but unofficial dealers bribe them and got those cars onto the streets officials at the ports left of our question whether there had been any contaminates of course here after the japanese fallout these off roaders worship then before the fukushima disaster in japan and even they were checked for radiation or for it is claimed there's absolutely no chance of contaminated growth making their way onto the territory is the police cars arrived to us transiting through greek and turkish ports what if anything was wrong it would have been spotted there in the first place which was to double check all vehicles in biological threat. however ecologist say these checks may not be enough to determine radiation growing is a big radioactive particles are very small and candidates around the vehicle they

can be found in fields just radiators inside small that's why it's very difficult to detect them with a regular guy get monsters from 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 ghost town of one costs around twenty dollars on the black market tens of thousands have been removed from this so. these contaminated metal can be recycled and used for anything from rails to vehicles without losing its radioactivity but usually it's used for making industrial pipes and ukraine. it's one of the leaders in. radioactive particles may be small but are still gravely dangerous a person subjected to them for a lengthy period can experience various long diseases and even chance or so use the temptation to buy a new japanese car is too hard to resist experts advise turning to professionals to

check whether it is safe let's hear a chance to see it was in from and each of us in ukraine. well alexi has been reporting from a noble site which saw the world's largest nuclear accident but many fear that the crisis at fukushima may soon become. story once prosperous soviet. power plant to see how it looks now a special report from there marking the disasters twenty fifth anniversary is available at our website of course you can find out in the documentary section. europe is seeing a surge in and see israeli sentiment with a growing clamor for governments to stop turning a blind eye to the occupation of palestinian land say they want actions not words and demanding an embargo on exports from illegal settlements but as daniel bushell reports politicians are remaining tight lipped on the issue. against israel

thousands call for the boycott of israeli goods over its continued expansion on palestinian land a jewish demonstrator says enough is enough. american leaders do nothing that the e.u. does nothing the repeated un resolutions have ruled israeli settlements illegal. activists want the european union to call the main export of the occupied territories flowers and fruits they formed human barricades it's a use a ploy depose still getting through. israel's carnal brand market settlement produce and pockets to profit but occupying forces who are moving their citizens are committing war crimes under the geneva convention public pressure is bearing fruit it's elite biggest grossing corpse and food grown in the occupied territories the world's largest security for g four s.

things have got so bad he's ready to risk his life hopefully people and kills this time as they were last time by the israeli military forces. that brings the world's attention to this issue moves say experts false politicians and business to act to public opinion change your mind before you are thinking that israel. should be public opinion really. to challenge and international institution the europeans and the un and also. the last time such a campaign was mobilized internationally was against the south african apartheid regime israel may have powerful allies but opposition in europe to its policies is growing too don't you see proselytize. i know israel's continued blockade of gaza is not only damaging to palestinians but also disastrous for israel itself as

according to the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs also used exclusive interview with baron s. catherine ashton is coming your way in about twenty minutes time but for now is a preview. we're very consistent in saying what needs to happen is that the israelis need to open the borders with guards are under love people and goods to move freely now i recognize the importance of the security situation for israel we've always done it but it seems to me a position that's not tenable where you have the inability to get the economy moving 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 and girls are lots of small businesses you know that could really do well lots of people who want jobs eighty percent of people in gaza see 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 products the goods where girls are could actually sell and support some economy. and that is used coming your way in about twenty minutes time now working in the u.s. so close to an investigation into the so-called sexting case that dominated national headlines for over two weeks a married senator tweeted a racy photo of himself triggering a media rush that overshadowed all the world using food in the war in libya and the violence in syria he's going after car looks at where priorities lie in the american media. but he doesn't know we the american media can't get enough of anthony we nursed crotch shot the married u.s. congressman had sent this new photo to a young woman via twitter and the story made it perfectly sexy again nothing with a shameless cover up there this is a twitter hopes

and constantly churn and cover these types of will serbia's stories that really don't have any bearing on people's lives whether or not it's a private issue that is affecting nobody but the polling top the media pressure is so high that it has become a trend in america to make deeply personal apologies on camera and everybody who has been hurt. you know. the same goes for celebrities like tiger woods extramarital affairs mate headlines for months i am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior i engaged in the apologies seem to fuel the gossip industry even more when politicians stage and i do use this word stage these apology kind of sessions they are very likely responding to their public relations. advisers their lawyers etc

just twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow you will not see it now you may be faced by an ongoing rebellion an increasingly destructive nato bombing campaign and worldwide condemnation of colonel gadhafi is about what he will stay in libya to the bitter end his remarks came over a game of chess with the president of the world chess federation. after the event which world will cost on state t.v. the chess master expressed his shock at the scale of destruction in the capital tripoli nevertheless nato has it once again it declared its intent to expand military operations in the country follows reports of fierce fighting during which the libyan government forces are restive control from the rebels of the city of as are we are about thirty kilometers from the capital u.s. radio host and peace activist ralph schoenman feels the opposition's course has been hijacked by the interests of

a few nations. the united states is spending a million dollars a day and billion and a half dollars it's just been handed to these so-called rebels usually the leadership of these rebels. his car is a twenty year outward of the central intelligence agency and cia and they as a hijack this uprising initially against gadhafi and it is a complete subordinate. position as to group now that is being funded and armed by the nato powers and the united states their objective is to carve out of libya into several countries and season twenty four point two billion barrels of oil reserves that's what the objective is is the sixty imperial war that obama is waging in the region and it is a genocidal war and all its features target is the population at large not merely because of the regime. i mean time in syria government forces are said to have reestablished control over the rebel hotbed town of sugar it comes amid

a continued calls by the british and french for a tough u.n. resolution against president assad and his government and russia and china who believe any intervention in syria would only cause more bloodshed say they'll stand against any such move arab world and so adrian believes the un's most powerful members of the driving force behind the bodies enthusiasm to intervene only in specific conflicts. but the united nations. 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 of all this can sort of also front 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 i would point in time when there was also and for what is happening in syria simultaneously

in almost all countries in the middle east and in north africa. we flexed internal problems will 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 fossilized 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. and you can get out more analysis on the latest news developments by logging on to our web page that's a parting thought consequence in with well for you that right now and americans are hearing voices with a new radio studios for the voice of russia opening up in washington to me and he was also. imagine yourself as oh god by throwing lightning and creating tornadoes step into some powerful shoes of the moscow planetarium also for any of our videos you just go to free video doughty dot com and download them with.
