it's completely ridiculous. >> reporter: okinawa governor, hirokazu nakaima, says he will accept the report and submit an opinion on minimizing effects on the environment. but the governor says he has not changed his mind about moving the base to nago. >> translator: i'm supporting the relocation outside the prefecture. my position will not change. >> reporter: nakaima says the government will eventually have to drop its plan to relocate the base to nago. this is hiromitsu nagano, nhk world, okinawa. >> nhk world political commentator, masayo nakajima gives us his analysis. >> the report is will determine the impact of the u.s. futenma station relocation. it's supposed to move things along. but it may not do the job. the japanese government is now planning to file a land reclamation request with okinawa's governor. but that is likely to inflame local opposition to the noda administration's plans. the noda administration ordered the environmental assessment before the prime minister met u.s. president barack obama in november. in order to show that it's making some sort of progress. t
