8:03 am
news live from moscow this is artsy rule research a welcome to the program a highly toxic radioactive material has been detected in groundwater and seawater samples near the fukushima nuclear facility in japan the element strong has been found in concentrations two hundred times over the safety limit and can cause bone 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 sean thomas has been to fukushima city to measure radiation levels here is what he discovered. 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
8:04 am
because if you look at a map of where fukushima city is in relation to the actual nuclear facility that plant number one where a lot of that radiation. when eating from look the winds are bringing that radiation in the. city and the rain in 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 dosage 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 gentlemen are wearing any protective clothing but the
8:05 am
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 you can see that a filter for nuclear 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 these very very high micro places these small. boats if you will where the radiation is just off the charts. reporting right that
8:06 am
workers at that 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 all according to james corbett who's the base at a sort of an independent news website. i mean new leaks of any kind are going to be an incredible burden on the efforts that are already on underway to try to clean up the water or 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 the test for that is going to be pushed back another few days it's already been pushed back from last friday 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 date any particular spot when it's averaged out over
8:07 am
a large population like is living in the fukushima region that unfortunately means there will be over time an increase in in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many. well the fukushima nuclear crisis has also sent shock waves through the japanese motor industry all of this and speculation that contaminated vehicles could be heading out to the world's kamarck it and a potential buyers are now thinking twice before making their way to japanese car showrooms. reports. oh has been contemplating a change of her car 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 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 the shipment was supposedly blocked by the authorities at adesa harbor but unofficial dealers bribe them and those cars
8:08 am
on to 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 then before the fukushima disaster in japan and even they were checked for radiation or claim there's absolutely no chance of contaminated vehicles making their way onto the territory is that these 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 we still double check all vehicles for any biological threat . however ecologist say these checks may not be enough to determine radiation boeing is a big radioactive particles are very small and. they can be found in filters radiators inside small and that's why it's very difficult to detect them with a regular guy get counters on the disposal of the customs union security experts
8:09 am
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. these contaminated metal can be recycled and used for anything from rails to vehicles without losing its radioactivity usually it's used for making industrial pipes and ukraine. the leaders of production of 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 yes 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 see reporting from and in
8:10 am
ukraine. well alexi has been reporting from the site which saw the world's largest nuclear accident but many fear that the crisis fukushima. 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 israeli sentiment with a growing clamor for governments to stop turning a blind eye to the occupation of palestinian land activists say they want actions not words demanding an embargo on exports from illegal settlements but as daniel bushell reports politicians are remaining tight lipped on the issue. rage against israel thousands call for the boycott of israeli goods over its continued expansion
8:11 am
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 halt the main exports of the occupied territories flowers and fruits they formed human barricades it's a use a ploy depose stopping goods getting through often to look at israel's carmel brand market settlement produce and pockets to profit bulky pine forces when moving their citizens are committing war crimes under the geneva convention public pressure is bearing fruit its elites biggest grocer co-ops and food grown in the occupied territories the world's largest security firm g four s. has stopped work with these really check points on the west bank admitting it breached human rights shareholders forced belgium's dicksee

a bank to sell its israel arm over a million euro loans to settlements activists next target is the rail links between thirty and jerusalem e.u. transport giant veolia protesters are also seeking to file charges on the international law against israel over its construction of settlements which the authorities are investigating and police will pass these complaints on to the courts judges must rule if firms who buy food from occupied palestinian land are complicit in war crimes irish m.e.p. paul murphy will join girls of fla tiller the biggest yet to raise awareness of the situation knowing activists were killed by israeli commandos when a similar operation was stopped in international waters last. you know if you feel things have got so bad he's ready to risk his life hopefully people aren't kills this time as they were last time boy the israeli military forces. that it
8:13 am
brings the world's attention to this issue. say experts false politicians and business act the public opinion change your mind before they were thinking that israel was granted by the british. public opinion really kept a city to challenge and the international institution the europeans and the un and also to. 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 brussels. israel's continued blockade of gaza is not only damaging to palestinians but also disastrous for israel itself according to the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs also use exclusive interview with baroness
8:14 am
catherine ashton is coming your way in about twenty minutes time but for now here's a preview. we're very consistent in saying what needs to happen is that the israelis need to open the borders with guards or and allow people and goods to the freely now i recognize the importance of the security situation for israel we've always done that but it seems to me a position that's not tenable where you have the inability to get the economy moving in 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 and darts are lots of small businesses you know that could really do well lots of people want jobs eighty percent of people in gaza receive today 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 a lot and that means allowing in and out the products the goods were gulzar could actually so and support its own economy.
8:15 am
and that if you are coming your way in about twenty minutes time now a police in the u.s. have closed an investigation into the so-called sexting case that dominated national headlines for over two weeks and a married senator tweeted a racy photo of himself triggering a media rush that overshadowed all the world using looting the war in libya and the violence in syria he's gonna look at where priorities lie in the american media but he doesn't know if the american media can't get enough of anthony we nursed crotch shot married to a u.s. congressman had sent this lewd photo to a young woman via twitter and the story made it perfectly sexy again nothing with a shameless cover up this is a twitter hoax a prank that was done i'm the victim of this poor girls the victim of a subsequent embarrassing come fashion last friday night i tweeted a photograph of myself that i intended to send as a direct message as part of
8:16 am

8:17 am
have any bearing on people's lives whether or not it's a private issue that has affected nobody but the people involved 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. no the noro i feel. the same goes for celebrities like tiger woods who extramarital affairs make 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. advisors their lawyers etc etc i mean and the networks american media companies love it because again it generates even more scandal american television leaves office and don't take

8:19 am
stay afloat. economic protests have now turned political. when hail syntagma square you can see just how many people. in the protests by the name calling and building a paper saying it can't be here are certain measures that have been paid by the government now we've been speaking to people here and they say that the sanctions really been building for a year they've already been. very strict on thirty measures they say that the government haven't really achieved anything by that and so with the need for placement here. a lot of tension on the street not some in a. panic playing power than they can raise some income by raising the price people simply don't think that that way forward but it certainly seems that that might be the case and that package of a certain measures will have to be implemented if greece wants to continue paying the international bailout money now this comes on the back and they get the relief
8:20 am
