>> well, experts point to two reasons. and the one is that the timing relates to a scheduled satellite launch by the south koreans. they had planned to send up a satellite on november 29th but postponed. the two koreas are competing to be the top satellite-launching countries. it is opposed by the north. those in pyongyang believe such opposition is caused by what they call the hostile policy of the united states. they insist that the americans change their position and that ask that they launch. another reason is that they formulated a plan to build a missile by the country was unable to produce results. so they began this missile launch as a way to signal the success of their policy. the north koreans announced they would launch a satellite between the 22nd. then on december 10th, they extended the launch period by one week for technical reasons. this long window indicates they place great importance on successfully launching within a year. >> thank y very much,roki. do stay there, if you would. we'll get back to you in

a team of five experts concluded their two-day inspection at the higashidori plant in aomori prefecture. they concentrated on two faults in the compound. official from the plant's operator told the power company that a shift in the strata was caused by ground water. they say it wasn't the result of an active fault. investigators say they cannot rule out the possibility that the two faults are active. they say they will be able to come to a finding without additional surveys. the nuclear regulation authority says all members of the team share the same view. he says there's evidence that the faults have moved. officials with the authority will meet to discuss the matter next thursday. the electric plant say the faults are not located directly beneath the regulators but if the are active they have to review their measures and give up resuming operations at the plant any time soon. the higashidori facility is the third nuclear plant in japan to undergo fault inspections. some residents who fled the crisis at the fukushima daichi nuclear plant may soon be able to go home. japanese government

only a handful of experts in a short time to make an important decision. >> reporter: on friday the experts will check whether a fault under the ohi plant in western japan is active. they will look at three of the plants in the new year. tomoko kamata, nhk world. >>> the nuclear regulation authority is also working on new guidelines for evacuations should another accident happen at a nuclear plant. but experts say there isn't enough solid science in a draft outline, so they say they will need more time to finish their plans. >>> the nra decided to base the new guidelines on actual radiation readings. after the fukushima accident, authorities failed to get residents to evacuate promptly even though they had information from a radiation forecast system. the nra secretary is proposing the immediate evacuation of residents within 5 to 30 kilometers of a radiation plant when they reach 500 millisieverts per hour. they call for evacuation within a week's time if the level is at 20 millisieverts or more. but the panel of experts did not reach a consensus. some said the authority had simply decided

security council on north korea expert professor really different joins us now from vienna university thank you for joining us here on r.t. today how effective would fresh sanctions on north korea be do you think given that such measures in two thousand and six and nine haven't really succeeded in making any any making it stop what its rocket launches obsessions or. means to show your political dissatisfaction but in terms of being effective almost useless in terms of north korea sanctions of the deployed for decades north korea had enough time to find ways around those sanctions though humanitarian concerns. the allies the tried and so i think sanctions have more or less a symbolical function but they will have very little actual effects on north korea well north korea is banned isn't it from conducting ballistic missile tests by the un and even its ally china criticised today's not so why is it so defiant against the international community both think it's easy to understand why for example china it is against those tests because. north korea depends a lot of china economically and

a team of experts dug up the ground at the plant so they could inspect the fault directly. the government panel examined the results of the so-called trade survey. panel members said on monday that the d-1 fault is probably active. they said that layers of earth near the fault have become deformed. the deformation is believed to cause d-1 to become active when national guidelines ban the building of major facilities directly above active faults. shunichi tanaka is the chairman of the nra. he had this to say. >> translator: under the current circumstances, it's my view that we cannot grant a permit to restart the plant's reactor. >> reporter; the authority will hold a meeting to make a final determination on the fate of the tsuruga nuclear facility. if they conclude the d-1 fault is acte, t plant's operator will not be allowed to restart the number two reactor. it may have to be decommissioned. it will be the second japanese nuclear plant slated for decommissioning. the fukushima daiichi nuclear plant was closed after being crippled by last year's earthquake and tsunami. man

experts used data from previous launches to make their estimate. they say a missile launched in 2009 had a range of almost 7,000 kilometers. north korean officials tried again in april. the rocket exploded shortly after takeoff. seconds longer tn those used 18 inrevious attempts. the experts believe engineers may have succeeded in reducing the size of a nuclear warhead. south korean officials say workers have completed the assembly of the three-stage missile. they say once the crew injects the fuel, it will be ready to go. authorities in pyongyang say they've launch between the 10th and 22nd of this month. they say they're sending a satellite into orbit. but leaders of japan and other countries believe the north koreans are carrying out a test of a long-range ballistic missile. the senior u.s. diplomat on north korea has warned the leadership there. he said the u.s. will refer the matter to the u.n. security

i witnessed there of the crash that happened today where i spoke to aviation experts you make a rush and explained how a pilot error led to a similar crash landing a few years ago. there are four is a fairly reliable aircraft seventy three basis for the use so far as the will service and so far there were only one last accident which happened doing years ago in two thousand and ten and it was not because of some hardware malfunction if i can say so because it was not because of the aircraft but it was pilot error so they were using. the wrong g.p.s. while they were using the i think we must not certified for the preseason landing so they just crashed one mile before the runways. as i said it was pilot error as about this accident. to zero four could carry more than two hundred passengers so it is quite it's quite unusual that there are only eight passengers a lot of such a big aircraft to zero for. that we can confirm that the emergency services have confirmed that the captain of the aircraft has been killed. on our breaking news pilot error is thought to be the most likely cause of

security council north korea expert professor frank says the pressure on trying and has never worked so any new sanctions won't either. sanctions are of course an appropriate means to show your political dissatisfaction but in terms of being effective if they are almost useless in terms of north korea sanctions have been applied for decades korea had enough time to find ways around those sanctions humanitarian concerns is the allies to try to so i think sanctions have more or less a symbolical function but they will have very little actual effects on the korea veterans a rocket or a missile is definitely a question of interpretation from a political perspective because technically both devices would view saying is the difference is what the pay a little bit you put a saddle on tall it's a rocket if you put a nuclear warhead on top it's a missile basically it's the same thing to go to the u.n. to see a resolution and there are hoodies interpretations i'm the legal expert but i don't at all through it definitely doesn't believe duffus resolution is enough to prohibit. all of the launch
