and we are here with veronica with greenpeace international group which is active here in japan especially in measuring radiation levels in 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 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 we're getting pieces 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 but i'm really at the moment to take independent investigation and actually make the measurements of the levels of contamination of the big amounts of the food people eat and we also have sent our
8:34 am
affleck shipping warrior to the sea to actually 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 a little bit about that make sure you find it but essentially what it disturbing because on one hand you see the japanese are three. forcing people and the society to be back to normal kind of so that people go to the work again kids go to this cause farmers start to actually plant bigger 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 another universe in
8:35 am
a way that on one layer you see the normal life of a normal city. we were in the center of fukushima town so it was pretty civilized everything going as normal and then you go with the equipment and you can actually see that all over the spot but it's like thirty to fifty times increased the level of radiation and then at public places like the playgrounds the school yards out on the street where people who are kids go to the school that are hot spots that go even up to five hundred seven hundred times above what is normal and this is just unbelievable because at those levels of exposure this is certainly a risk in the health and lives of people and if you draw the butt out of the chair nobody's asked are then actually soviets decided to evacuate everyone. that was living at the place where the radiation was even three or four times slower than what we can see in fukushima city today this is three months after the accident
8:36 am
started but the japanese these japanese are thirty sexually bay we can hold information they don't tell people the truth and they don't provide them with any kind of support that the people desire of how exactly is greenpeace getting involved right now what activities are you doing and what are you encouraging as i've said again peace is now focusing on very few measurements that are taken independently of the government and in that sense we've actually managed to force the government to for example extent the monitoring of the sea and we also hear that the government is now revising at least some of the protective measures for children which is definitely good to see but if the government is still slow and doing too little actually there now the situation will be there for the long term 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 talk specialists and the equipment here during the course of the year or perhaps until next year as
8:37 am
well because especially when the harvest season comes then we can expect there. risks that actually food well into the markets and then people get can get into not contamination which from the health but it's but the fish much more serious than just being anything from outside from the street on the ground and in terms of a 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 basically at the moment based on the cesium. that have but if you're wrong half lives that's the contamination will be around for many years spreads even decades and therefore we are only coping with long param serious implications and the impact of the accident in that sense. is one thing the government really begs the. science first and puts the interest of public health but the action at the first
8:38 am
place and doesn't believe the politics as they have been doing so far and second thing is that even from ontario i think it's important for japan to learn the lessons in the sense that nuclear power as we have seen is inherently unsafe that it's all of us unpredictable combination of the nature i got us to feel that because you go for you are a human error or that can result in the situation when the reactor gets out of control where the fast it was some question a few hours when the full meltdown happened and in that sense it's only unsafe to make 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 decade by twenty twenty because there is a pretty big potential offering here by now decent efficiency that japan can dip into and moving past japan into the the rest of the world what do you think the
8:39 am
rest of the world can learn from this. there are definite not only lessons for japan itself but it applies to other countries we have seen a major shift already in a number of big economies for example in germany where definitely as a result of the fukushima disaster the government actually took big uterine in the policy and although initially they advocated extension of the lifetime of the car and feed off of that us now the order of that half of them is shut down immediately and the rest will be phased out. increased weight increased by the end of the as well we have seen too many telly taking place this weekend where actually ninety five percent of population of all didn't know 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 new reactors and even in france which is one of the strongholds of the nuclear industry the recent poll shows that seventy seven
8:40 am
percent of population actually wants to phase out from you go to power in the country so we can see a major shift and we just believe that. this is america's will not fall to the type 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 that as the current for each will be going to do only phased out and that by twenty fifty the world can actually achieve for you and your burner the supply globally and shifting more to a personal level if you don't mind 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 what a strong personal experience i've been to chicago before and this was the second time i was so exposed to the true face of the disaster you get when on one hand you
8:41 am
actually understand the numbers and you know what that means for. the impact on health and the impact on environment and you also see does situations like for example when one mother was crying to us because she was desperate you 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 that. just motivates me actually 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 anywhere again. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on r.t. . twenty years ago the largest country in the.
