come. back to join us here watching our t.v. live from moscow these are the top stories japanese authorities are launching massive radiation checkups in the fukushima area three months after the nuclear disaster that's made public anger a lot of governments late response to the leaks and lack of transparency. germany's on their pressured to walk out in a tourist nazi officer who's been convicted of war crimes with remains of large cargo they were escaped from a prison over half
2:31 am
a century ago and found shelter in germany legislation for vanity's extradition. and russia split over proposed restrictions on abortion many say a move aimed at tackling demographic decline will breach pregnant women's rights and result in more abandoned children. next to speak to greenpeace activists whose among those conducting an independent investigation into the health effects of living near the stricken fukushima nuclear plant which he says are carefully hidden by the japanese government. and we are here with veronica with a greenpeace international group which is active here in japan especially in measuring radiation levels in at fukushima and the disaster zone after the earthquake and tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster and so thank you very much for taking a moment to join us today my first question to you is if you could tell us
2:32 am
a little bit about what you're doing here and why is it important for greenpeace to be here to get this message out yes well the increase is organizing a team of specialists which i've actually already one week after the you got accident started to unfold and we see our role primarily at the moment to take independent investigation and actually make the measurements of the levels of contamination of the big round of the food we eat and we also have sent our affliction brain warrior to proceed to a chilly measure the contamination of the ocean and the marine life which is an important part of the diet of the japanese population and as we were talking earlier you were saying that it is very interesting to see this city has sort of a parallel life if you will the disaster on one hand and people going about their daily business on the other hand talk me a little bit about that i actually find it personally what it disturbing because on one hand you see the japanese are three piece forcing people and the society to be
2:33 am
back to normal kind of sort of people go to work again it's called the discourse farmers start to actually plants get fields because it's a growing season and yet at the same time. there are still extremely high levels of radiation and the contamination of both in the soil but also potentially in the food so for me was really like visiting and up in our universe in a way that when one layer you see the life of a normal city. we were in the center of town so it was pretty civilized everything going as normal and then you go with radiation equipment and you can actually see that all over the spots but it's like thirty to fifty times increased the level of of stuff radiation and then at public places like the playgrounds the school yards or on the streets where people who are kids go to the school that hotspots that go even up to five hundred seven hundred times about what is normal and this is just
2:34 am
unbelievable because at those levels of exposure this is certainly risking the health and lives of people and if you got the car out of the disaster then actually soviets decided to evacuate everyone. that was living at a place where the radiation was even three or four times lower than what we can see in fukushima city today he says three months after the accident started but the japanese piece japanese after he said chile they withhold information they don't know people the truth and they don't provide them with any kind of support that the people who is there of how exactly is greenpeace getting involved right now what i to leisurely doing and what are you encouraging as i've said again peace is now focusing on our very patient measurements that are taking independently of the government and in that sense we've actually managed to force the government to for example extend the monitoring of the sea and we also hear that the government is
2:35 am
now if i sing at least some of the protective measures for children which is the financially good to see but yet the government is still slow and doing too little actually there now the situation will be there for the long param we see overall that we would like to be on standby or be a disposer for the communities that are impacted and we want to keep the specialists and the equipment here during the course of the year or perhaps until next year as well because especially when the harvest season comes then we can expect there are better. risks that actually food will enter the markets and then people get can get internal contamination which from the health perspective is much more serious them are just being good even from outside from the street from the ground and in terms of the long term solution what you see for the future of japan as this crisis plays out because this isn't something that is going to ramp up very easily you can see from the. levels of contamination and the contaminants which are
2:36 am
basically at the moment based on the cesium isotope so that have pretty good on half lives there further contamination will be around for many years perhaps even the kates and therefore we have only coping with one parent serious implications some impact of the accident in that sense are. one thing the government really takes the. science first and puts the interest of public health protection at the first place and doesn't play the politics as they have been doing so far and second thing is that even for non-parent i think it's important for japan to learn the lessons in the sense that you could have power as we have seen is inherently unsafe but it's all of us unpredictable combination of the major catastrophe that technology called for you are a human error or that can result in the situation when the reactor gets out of control with a fast it or some question a few hours when the full meltdown happens and in that sense it's really unsafe to
2:37 am
take the beds and continue with nuclear power we believe that the japanese government and the decision makers swing or change the course of the country and we are pretty convinced that it's feasible for japan to phase out nuclear power in the next the cage by twenty twenty because the research because ensuring about energy sent efficiency that project and can delve into and moving past japan into the the rest of the world what do you think the rest of the world can learn from this. there are definitely not only lessons for japan itself but it applies to other countries we have seen and major shift already in a number of big economies for example in germany where a definitely as a result of the results that are the government actually took big uterine in the policy and although initially they advocated extension of the lifetime of the current people feel that us now the order of that half of them is shut down immediately and the rest will be faced out in the increased way increased by the
2:38 am
end of the as well we have seen effort into many tele taking place this weekend where actually ninety five percent of population voted no so there is no nuclear power in the future of the country switzerland speeded up as well the phase out and basically abandoned their plans to build more ubiquitous and even in france which is one of the strongholds of nuclear industry recent poll shows that seventy seven percent of population actually wants to phase out from the go to power in the country so we can see a major shift and three just belief that. this is america's will not forego the threat of the industry and it will be a game and they will be for. the interests of public and the future generations in that sense that there will be no new construction of the body if that's the kind frege will be going to do really phased out. by twenty fifty the world can actually
2:39 am
achieve full year of the supply globally and shifting more to a personal level if you don't mind here you have been to fukushima you've seen this evidence of radiation. what does it mean for you to be there and to witness this tragedy firsthand for me was a strong personal experience i've been questionable before and this was the second time i was so exposed to the face of the disaster when on one hand you actually understand the numbers and you know what that means for. the impact on health and environment and you also see the situations like for example when one mother was crying to us because she was desperate she wanted to protect the children but she didn't know what to do or should have no information and those things are really moving me worry much and. just motivates me to do the work that i'm doing because i believe that we must make sure that things like this don't happen any more
