plant despite the government declaring it's safe for people to live nearby but as artists thomas discovered when it comes to their safety the people of japan no longer have faith in government. in a culture that is generally non-confrontational and obedient. to the streets of tokyo against nuclear energy it is a serious sign of discontent if after this race is it is true that the people are more conscious and we need to take advantage of it this is the first time since the second world war the japanese people have no trust in the government they want to be a coastal city devastated by the earthquake the tsunami and on the edge of the radiation exclusion zone is starting on the long road to recovery of the people living here say the government just isn't doing enough from the city hall york city they said different things like perfect are they said different things and the government is that different things. the alligator here or steve part of the country.

the or the are a part but some believe it is too early to tell what the real dangers of the situation are scientists and know that large doses of radiation given in one blast is a significant health threat but they say there isn't enough information about long term exposure to lower doses of radiation and the types of damage it can do if you kick it here or radiation level and then you take degrees and then you take water you always feel have different values because it's so close and it's so changing so you can hardly say but it's really exceeds what a normal person would have by year one of the frightening things about this entire incident is that there are no concrete boundaries that can clearly guarantee your safety one example is this looks like a beautiful watch green valley behind me but in fact this is the very end of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone that the government has set up in fact we're trying

8:29 pm
great for the full story we've got it from the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. spending the year in iraq is no true journalists. some ways to go in the news conference because there's kind of wasting their time trying to get killed. i thought all was going to give me the low life and in my. view to be about twenty seven days going to publicize it in by the market.
