more just of any, of course the camel with ah a with
11:01 pm
with more than 2 years have gone by the negotiations in order to enter it been long and difficult. now that we are friendly here is to get to know. you don't look like children. see the movie that are like those who used to come here to the minute the safety
11:02 pm
focus, she died. she's nuclear power with ah
11:03 pm
mm . ready ready ah, ah
11:04 pm
ah, they say you either embrace japan or you reject it. you either adapt giving up your culture or you remained a stranger, a poor geiger. i'm a journalist. i've lived in japan for more than 30 years. i love and take this country. i know it and i ignore it, i accept it, and i post it as if it were my own country. i can happily sleep on the top me, but i cannot give up some of my old and healthy habits, such as my coffee above all, i will never get used to earthquakes. i live on the 6th floor of an old building
11:05 pm
and every time there is one, even a small one. it makes me panic. a with, if i would have been at room at 2 46 pm on the 11th of march, 2011. i would pay a lot of gentlemen dog. i don't that i'm not the one to be brought up is on my mind with i've been, i've been when i came up with about this a container that amount a sheet of benefit out of them a kinda like a thin cute i think
11:06 pm
a thin that said that i did not i made to run here. okay. got you because you on the back and i realized that we have survived the largest earthquake ever recorded in japan. 90 degree on the richter scale at the epicenter east of the country and felt it as a magnitude for utopia. he then this iraq, a 400 miles to the coast of the home. in some places it exceeds 30 meters and reaches
11:07 pm
up to 6 to 7 kilometers in my whole region. beautiful with its wooden plastic illumine houses, gets invaded quickly, swallowed by water. ah reactors have shut down so they're no longer generating. it's hard to believe the 1st death tolls report so few, it's hard to believe so you say that nuclear power plants are safe. here, your situation is a pushy my value to nuclear power plant on the 19th facilities existing in the country. located 300 kilometers north east of tokyo. 6 it's owned by tip code,
11:08 pm
one of the 10 electricity companies of its kind, with its 6 nuclear power reactors. the power plant is one of the most important nuclear facilities in the world and considered one of the safest nuclear stations in spite of its 40 years during the endless minutes of the earthquake, the power reactors in operation, 12356, automatically stop. and the operators activate the security procedures the earthquake hit, the client hard, the high voltage mat school. and the cross station is isolated from the national electric supply. emergency diesel generator turned on automatically providing electricity to the cooling systems, which had the task of reducing heat inside the power reactors once they have stopped working. barely an hour after the earthquake. a wave of
11:09 pm
14 meters devastates the nuclear power plant. crossing over the dam, built the protection of the nuclear plant against waves of 6 meters maximum height . in a few minutes, the water fills all the technical rooms. damaging the emergency generators located in the underground basement to work is drown. without any trigger t monitoring indicators are abused. nobody knows what is happening inside the reactors. and the magnitude of the emergency is not clear to close top managers selling broad to promote japanese nuclear technology and the news broadcast my television is to contradictory to be true. i have to do something . i called the manager, but the phone and the internet aren't working anymore to reactivate electricity in
11:10 pm
the control panels, the plant director muscle yoshi death or does the work is to extract the batteries from their cars and sends others to buy batteries in the nearest supermarket. the workers succeed in restoring the electrical power of the panels in the control room . but the internal pressure indicated that the reactors reveal the situation in all its gravity. if they don't act immediately, 3 reactors may explode. in order to decrease pressure, you need to release the radioactive gas that has accumulated inside the react is bought in order to do so. tapco must ask the prime minister for permission. now tell can, who is also an engineer gives the green light. the circuits do not have enough power to open the vows. manual opening seems to be the only option, but the related procedures are not set out in the instruction manual. ah, 50, you know, mean up on me here. i'm not seeing a kid on all me off. i need an overnight rental car is the 1st time that the
11:11 pm
japanese government has decay, the nuclear emergency we all remember the accident and you care facility at folk. i knew that eva rossi prefecture in 1999 point 2 was, were killed and about a 100 people were consolidated. of course i remember it took a murder. i gave the news of the accident 3 days later. and the death told an injury only 10 days with fear in tokyo. there have been neither significant damages nor any victims. people panicking. you may start getting ready to spend the night public places officers at friends, houses are in the open air. this is already up to the say it up what my status was if you didn't that the soda with what did it but what i put the number that is so
11:12 pm
the vehicle is that gonna cost you the answer to that data? i don't know what to do. i can stay in tokyo where i would probably receive more news. no. it's better to try to get to walk by car to come close to the damage nuclear power plant. nothing in the roads are blocked and the nuclear power plants direction and vice versa. perhaps a lot of people are trying to reach the north to obtain news of their relatives. even the railway work is interrupted. compete displayed in the 2. i have to go back to tokyo and try to catch a plane to keep up the only way to get the full tissue is from the opposite side. a
11:13 pm
a a by just to bond with them, with just a long on the wall. no. hello lindsay, this new was from the wm, which is a new with
11:14 pm
a scheduled show. so, but our new choice is yours. it'll show you that today. when you bring it with with alarmed by tiptoes long silence can wants to understand clearly the gravity of a situation he arrives the nuclear disaster sight. he takes charge, sending
11:15 pm
a team of workers to manually open the valve. having evacuated the population within a radius of 3 kilometers, the controlled release of radioactive vapor seems to be the acceptable solution. people start to believe that the was phase of the emergency is now over ah, really, really. but in order to understand what's happening, i needed to go back to my school days, 3 visits and physics, and the lessons on how nuclear power plant works. fukushima day, cheese reactor type, general electric model of 1978. when an operation is like an enormous pressure saucepan, the nucleus contains bars of fuel made of uranium, the fission of uranium nuclear produces radioactive adams, which continued to generate residual heat for days after the reactors arrest. the
11:16 pm
heat in the reactors core is generated by nuclear fission. boiling water produces steam, which goes directly to the turbines and rotates them to produce electricity. the condensed steam then goes back into the reactor. the extraction and replacement of the fuel is usually performed by means of an overhead crane acting between the reactor pool and the adjacent one. during this operation, the 2 pools are completely flooded. the transfer of fuel rods is performed under water through a common gate that works like a valve. keeping the fuel isolated from the environment and refrigerated at every stage is therefore a matter of fundamental security. and this is a and 2 different containment barriers designed a bit like a metro yoshika. the 1st barrier is the capsule of iron, the core of the reactor. the 2nd barrier is the shell of reinforced concrete.
11:17 pm
the walls of the building of the last barrier between the reactor and the atmosphere. at 34060, i'm on the 12th of march cameras, document a huge explosion that shatters the top of react to building number one and seriously injures full workers. among the operators it fukushima died, she and the watching world panic escalades. fortunately, the 1st recognizance shows only the top of the building has exploded, not the reactor, which seems to be still intact. back up the line, the brother also there was the law. your thought about it or the mother i drive without stopping until dawn, when i find myself in casing. the
11:18 pm
soon ami a spared only a few reinforced concrete buildings. the rest has been wiped out, wrung out and regurgitated without any order or restraint. but at about don't gonna insure the air that every 1000 of us that, that a jordan. i called her so i left, she thought. so 90 castillo was emma. but i guess in oma emma to own a heat up at cisco better than that. i looked him, it was, it was an already master. inquisitive america though it is that agenda, the selfish and that i've been out in the summer. so by the se, order inhabiting seek to solve their problems. rather than questioning the nuclear emergency, fukushima is still far away in every sense, ah, the pressure in the react is increases again. they must be cooled and stabilized in order to avoid the worst possible outcome due to the lack of fresh water,
11:19 pm
the use of sea water seems to be the only solution what it means, the irreversible damage of all reactors muscle yoshida, director of the nuclear power plant was the one to make the difficult decision in direct violation of tip code orders, which were in favor of saving the expensive reactors from the corrosive effects of salt. i didn't reach fukushima. i came back here to a key tongue and i'm afraid. for the 1st time, ah sure right to stay a family, an elite 5 children, some right to risk it. i trust this government, especially the prime minister. but the problem is can this government trust tapco and the nuclear industry out there was a simple and honest person who would never allow the contamination of his people. i
11:20 pm
decide to call him directly taking advantage of our old friendship. and i can't reach him. when i come up, talk to him or i have to address a delicate matter. i get in contact with his wife. oh, feel this. oh fun. yeah. mom took the same spice, didn't there? hi, shakira. oh no, no that. i mean, i think, i think, i mean, i think you doing this young man. hi. i have a new one. no one. no, no. i know a lot
11:21 pm
more than a few shima guy each nuclear plant. they realized the cool of reactors, 12, and 3 has already been damaged in a desperate move, the government sends a team of specialized firemen in an attempt to curve the most severe situation. the one in the 3rd reactor. the men have hardly arrived when a massive explosion destroys the whole upper part of the building. 3, also involving building for ah, some of the embassies are stoking fear, irresponsibly, most and foreign press, exaggerates, distorts, omits, are often it invents. fat. americans minimized the accident. the french warns of an inevitable apocalypse reactors that are used in
11:22 pm
fukushima and the rest of japan are made in the united states and the american industry and tends to continue with their business enterprise. on the other hand, france would like to solid state of the art reactors, which they say are safe. the only official sources i know are the japanese national agency for nuclear safety that is more similar to us censorship agency and the international agency for atomic energy. for atomic energy, the only thing that can help me understand is going directly to the power plant. i thought the final cause it felt cause cameras reveal a 3rd powerful explosion. the building of react to, to the walls remain intact. but a part of the react to suffer serious damage. tapco abandons all hope of saving the situation and considers the possibility of evacuating on its employees. now til can decides to go personally to the headquarters in tokyo and force is the president
11:23 pm
she meets sue, not to abandon the ship. doing so would imply the uncontrolled meltdown of all reactors. thus putting the very existence of japan at risk with hulu. you know which you find it difficult to maintain the constant awareness that behind every broken window, every destroyed car and every upturned out there lies the story. if a person of a family of an entire country, it was a win win up with all
11:24 pm
the way on. here you have no peace. if you know that another one was not accepted, were the last to work and still wanders in the world, which is no longer part. they watch over the bodies, wash their dress, them with care, could make. after choosing auspicious day for the coronation, they get ready by placing their most prized possessions next to them. finally proceeding to the right of chicago. so the delicate, meticulous right of collecting the bones in the urns. it's such an intense moment. little the chicago to ritual is celebrated also ah
11:25 pm
ah. 6 mommy also cause the suspension of clinicians for lack of feel like it. it was necessary to resort to collective burials which to the japanese are considered as sad and affection. ah ah, the soon ami swept everything away, included in the right to feel paid to remember more in the day. i
11:26 pm
thought it was a good fit. again, she don't then shallow gilt going up. yodel, you'd assign them on the data. what all? antique congregational din, delkin yardi. you dine, go to bed at lunch time on the 16th of march. the emperor akito is speaking with a live broadcast. it's the 1st time that an emperor uses television to speak directly to the people. are those who remember his father, emperor hillary, he tossed dramatic speech on the radio announcing the end of the war. now japan is fighting for the life with its people as it did back left wing
11:27 pm
tip. co. pressured by the government takes its decision about 50 men are left there to deal with the situation. they operate in extreme conditions separated from the rest of the world, contaminated by radiation without any news from family members affected by the tsunami. they fight to cool. react is restore electricity and security systems often by means of luck. it's time to decide what to do. and in a hurry, the majority of my italian and foreign colleagues have already left the country a move to the so even if i wanted to go back in tokyo airports are now closed or clocked in case the situation worse. and i would feel safer here in the north, protected by mountain range rather than in tokyo or, or sucker where the wind would propel the radioactive cloud. as for
11:28 pm
a possible speedy escape from makita, you can fly directly to korea or by car you can easily reach the island, the full title, and from the capital city of support, you can get to the entire world. ah ah, east of can't go to russian state. little, never unfolding the sun skis, december candles, all sun sunday. meet week within 55. would this be okay so mine is 2000 speedy. one else about this even with we've will van in the european union. the kremlin media machine, the state aren't russia today, and switch r t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all band to on youtube with school,
11:29 pm
the twisted did you think it was with so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time. time to sit down and talk ah, analysts, especially in national security agencies, are generally acknowledged to be among the leading experts in their fields. in a perfect world, they provide informed analysis to policy makers to allow those policy makers to
11:30 pm
make the best informed decisions. that's the way the system is supposed to work. but what happens when policy makers ignore the analysis even worse? what happens when policy makers discount the analysis and then seek out false analysis to support their preconceived policies? i'll tell you what happens. it leads to war. i'm john kerry. aku you're watching the whistle blowers. ah, ah, welcome to the whistleblowers. i'm john kerry. aku, it's no secret that the american government during the george w bush administration, made up its mind to go to war with iraq on false pretenses. the white house accused saddam hussein of building and deploying weapons of mass destruction that just simply wasn't true. the white house accused saddam hussein of being in league with osama bin laden and al qaeda. that also wasn't true.
