breaking news this hour a massive radioactive fallout is the fear after an explosion of asking people to shimon our plans into the reactors roof tiles that caved in injuring at least of all the world is people within a twenty kilometers of the plant of being evacuated it follows two pounds worth of quake and the resulting tsunami whole villages have been swept away over seven hundred people are confirmed dead without the rescue team that number is expected to grinds. the air. this is on the sea life from moscow with me analysts have just one store you don't win it in the world's attention right now about the disaster in japan a blast has destroyed part of a nuclear facility and the so nami hit north a twenty kilometer evacuation zone is in place but all thorough she said radiation levels are decreasing it's also understood the explosion was caused by a failure in the cooling system and not the reacted self which was affected or the blast struck the because she number one the nuclear plant some two hundred fifty kilometers and north of tokyo the roof in one of the walls that caved in injuring at

it's half past the hour here in moscow a this is a japanese media is reporting fuel rods a look at shimon nuclear plant been damaged the government meanwhile still isn't ruling out a potential meltdown and warns of another explosion at the center see radiation levels on the rise valley exceeding four hundred times the woman in some parts of the country hundreds of thousands are being evacuated from contaminated areas. and kind of the japanese forces closing in on gravel strongholds in libya every day the long lines for many people slowly returning to me but some western states paint a different picture calling for a no fly zone and seeking possible military intervention. and making the reset to me why the u.s. vice president visits moscow backing that made for russia's world trade organization ready to share oscar has been the case he's a seat in the trade informers twenty years with washington now lending its strong support to the base. now many american and british soldiers who served in iraq have complained about the rainy and related illnesses and he's both the good and the british mi

fields has been a breach will japan's also set a thirty kilometer radius no fly zone over from because shimon new plant the country's prime minister has addressed the nation seeing a nuclear meltdown is now possible war throughout the country radiation levels are said to be on the rise with traces even now of the texel in tokyo however the government still insists public health is not to risk the epicenter of the problem because she will plant itself reading shows three years worth of naturally occurring radiation is being emitted within a single hour of plants been thrown into crisis since friday's devastating quake and tsunami which knocked out cooling systems and all three of its working reactors have it now been locked explosions several people have been injured in the blast well more than a hundred and fifty people have been exposed to radiation. economy is facing its biggest challenge since world war two after being hit by one of the strongest earthquakes in recorded history or the quickest theory by past japan's industrial heartland the shock waves have been felt throughout the busines

i think it's time when the world is watching with fear the developments a good pass for shimon nuclear power plant experts comparisons and examples in the past and maybe help for see the future analysts tell us it's not yet sure novel but very comparable to another tragic accident which occurred in the united states in nineteen seventy nine at the three mile island power plant which is part of the state of pennsylvania and now i'm joined by take work who was the governor of pennsylvania at the time sir thank you so much for joining us thank you guy well first of all what do you think about the comparison well there's an. eerie similarity between what's happening in japan today and what happened in pennsylvania in one nine hundred seventy nine. there are obviously differences because we didn't have to deal with a record earthquake or aftershocks or following tsunami but the technical challenges are pretty much the same so what happened to those three mile island was a partial core of meltdown in one of the reactors how bad were the consequences back then at the time i we had no sense of

that i've met in the last since i've been here and everyone's concerned about the people near focal shimon near these near the explosion of this nuclear reactor because cern now is the spread of radiation there has been evacuations of the twenty kilometer radius. around this from a power plant number one where this explosion took place as a precaution because radiation in he's in the air earlier today the levels of radiation there were if you stood outside for an hour next to the plant and he would have absorbed as much radiation as he would do normally in the year or so in other plant is. under an emerged state of emergency as well with residents in the city being evacuated to three kilometer radius they're going back and want to get in ten o'clock to radius they've been told to stay inside because still the radiation. is very prevalent in those areas well the most important thing now for them is to treat those who have been exposed to the very radiation is that what they're doing now is trying to distribute i a team because that. using is used to treat radiation sickness and then they mo

welcome to you this is our to live from moscow i'm alice had the japan maybe losing control of the shimon nuclear power plant after a rise in radiation levels meant attempts to stabilize the situation have to be halted because the top spokesman said one of the reactors key containment vessels is feared to have broken and radioactive material talent i bet it has in the region said many people are trying to flee from areas facing immediate. there's a bubbling undercurrent of anxiety and fear and it's a different kind of fear now because with the tsunami the earthquake they can see and hear the threats this the radiation they can't see or smell it it's an invisible enemy so now it's a different kind of threat just this morning i've spoken to a young japanese couple with just a ten day old newly born. and they are actually from sendai and they were in sendai when the earthquake struck they have been able to move until now this is another was two weeks but now they're heading for tokyo as fast as they can and this is just another. more evidence of people who don't trust the government don't tr

i'm on a separate japan is struggling to regain control over the overheated reactors a thank you shimon nuclear plant after a series of blasts and fires the government's most senior spokesman said cooling reactor number three is now the top priority because it's posing the biggest danger or military helicopters are currently being seen on to the stricken the reactors in the latest bid to avert a nuclear meltdown while the aircraft are monitoring the amount of radiation if the balls gets too high for the egg restraints and water cannons will be deployed to try and get the temperature of truck reactors to drop assays either bet it has been to the quake hit we just to see firsthand how more and more people are fleeing the area terrified by the threat of meltdown. the sheer force of the tsunami was hard to comprehend until i saw this vehicle zoom houses it impossible angles it was as if the ground surface had been ripped off. this woman told us they've never experienced such a powerful earthquake before and she feared for her life we weren't allowed out of the car at the coast the police we

fighting to encourage the fighting to cool down the overhauled of the fuel rods that they've because shimon nuclear plant has got it at a pizza advertising disaster as they contain radio as they contain radio outs of materials and christopher pyne is a professor at the talking about the text brains how an explosion like a car and or the worst case scenario could mean for local residents the damage to the fuel rods in this case will not cause a fire and again this is a key difference between the disaster going on at the moment so it is a disaster and the charitable incidence the decision ration is the furor it's can melt they can become oxidized and the rods are protected by zirconium our lloyd coast and when that comes into contact with water the result is the production of a large amount of hydrogen which is of course explosive and that causes the earth a large explosion as we saw yesterday whether the radiation is coming from fukushima daiichi reactor number one or number three or more locally is a very important question to solve i would hazard to guess that it's coming from fukushima da

or homeless emergency teams are still struggling to control the situation of the stricken because shimon you can a plant several sustained radiation burns while installing cables as part of efforts to restore the critical systems and clean energy experts say the damage to the site is having a dangerous effect on the environment and people's health. i think it's catastrophic i think that the narrative that we've had for the last week or so which is that we're trying to fix the problem and get it under control is misleading i think that there's evidence of radiation having entered the environment in large amounts it's turning up in lots of places in water and food it's even being detected far away what this could mean is that there is really a significant entry of radiation going on into the environment right now and that there doesn't appear to be any problems. to it in the near future so that's very catastrophic this is not something that is. a situation that may get out of control this is a situation that is having a catastrophic impact currently already i would say and significantly da

since and without affecting the radiation levels everyone's concerned about the people near focal shimon near the nearly explosion at its nuclear reactor because cern now is the spread of radiation there has been evacuations of the twenty kilometer radius as a precaution because radiation is in the air one reason is earlier today the levels of radiation there were if you stood outside for an hour next to the plant then it would have absorbed as much radiation if you would you normally see me here also another plant is. under emerged state emergency as well with residents in of synergy being evacuated to three kilometer radius they're being back in one within ten o'clock so radius they're being told to stay inside still the radiation . is very prevalent in those areas that are the ones in the twenty kilometer radius around the machine mirth powerplant number one they're now being treated for radiation sickness receiving hide in not that they have got sickness but it just as a precaution and if need be they're being quarantined also in this at that power plant number two in the same area f

with me alice have read japan is struggling to regain control over the reactors i thought because shimon nuclear plant after a series of fires the government's very senior spokesman said cooling reactor number three is not the top priority it was posing the biggest danger a military helicopters are currently dropping the sea also on the stricken reactors in the laces pits two of the meltdown all of the aircraft amounting in the amount of radiation will have levels get too high for the air crews trying to reach the candidates will be deployed to try and get the temperature of trouble reactors to drop off since i've been in she's in the region says many more are now entering the area terrified type of threat meltdown. the sheer force of the tsunami was hard to comprehend until i saw this vehicles and houses it impossible angles it was as if the ground surface had been ripped off. this woman told us they've never experienced such a powerful earthquake before and she feared for her life we weren't allowed out of the car at the coast the police were on high alert and suddenly there was panic.

as hell cast down here in most cases on t.v. a second explosion could be wrong to council because shimon nuclear power columns he is every nation he consist person a hundred people have now been confirmed dead in the devastating earthquake and resulting tsunami for the actual long like a top ten thousand rescue is going to help people in need scenes of destruction with food fuel on the loose running low and sometimes it's. all seen this week of boosting its highs and evolves in trade as the u.s. vice president met russia's leaders in opposition in moscow joe biden also a pledge james has no support for luxury cruise ship in the world trade organization. and in libya colonel gadhafi gains momentum winning back more territory is international calls grow to him to surrender power states television says his calls to take in the town to break out on to securing our former rebel controlled it will point. out international community continues to debate the role or should take in the libyan on rest next hour as he talks to russia's envoy to nato to meet clear our goals and to gauge his being. re

not one nuclear reactor but to now the evacuation or area around a second nuclear reactor of the shimon number two has been extended to ten kilometers that reactor has been under a state of emergency for the last few hours because since the cooling system was knocked out after the earthquake last electricity they fear the temperature could get too hot lead to an explosion and a spread of radiation in the atmosphere now the government has said that they will be monitoring the exposure levels and so radiation of the people they evacuate from that area and treat the necessary necessary quarantine if they can if the exposure levels are seem high no there has already been an explosion at one nuclear. creates its a day at fukushima which is two hundred fifty kilometers north east of tokyo and we know that was an explosion and that's been confirmed about an hour ago by the japanese chief. secretary and chief cabinet secretary they don't yet know what the cause of that explosion was so but the fear is and the major concern here is that it could have been caused by a melting of the the actual re

the city travel to the ukrainian capital to take on an army kiev and on his russian manager duty shimon says these days when the top of their game is. usually trying to shuffle our squad we must be prepared produce strong points but i think we should also try to use our best side to really against manchester city everyone who wants to try to plead bitterly cam. to english teams were in action in the premier league last night birmingham moving out of the drop zone with a one one draw away at everton taking the lead through body fuelled midway through the first article heading or got the just before half time firming and now out of the bottom three but only on goal difference well over three but tonight. i'm talking now in a shock in the playoffs regular season champions haven't guard suffering surprise forty defeat i met in the course in their last eight clash haven't got the top seeds and hopes to be eight and gave them a quarter final series that put themselves in the lead just four minutes including seed and but rather the lead by three goals to one midway through the second half. and

because shimon nuclear plans and that's despite close contact with the japanese crisis center meanwhile emergency services are on high alert and russia's far east a region it close northern japan and that in a good job there is in the area. michel's insecure you say that radiation levels remain normal and russia's war is ever seen then you can't hold a launch in fukushima was hit by an explosion they've been monitoring levels closely we can even check the radiation levels for ourselves this is the so-called geiger counter this is used in professional say cynical war trays by the emergences ministry and also by other specialized services measures radiation levels around and the bigger it is showing is jumping between two and three migrants were our these is way less than the average in moscow for example and also as a comparison a passenger flying on a plane from moscow to vladivostok receives as many as twenty two microns per hour which is sampled the figure here in. the capital of this region the russian security services are still on high alert as there are confirmed reports from visu

military from could could have easily shimon selves it would be again part of the disaffected popular uprising component but the question is where do they get their back it certainly some interesting points made and a good time to talk about it as we reach are they alive and in libya now that's one worker responding thanks so much and it's not just the coverage of the conflict there are also mounting criticisms of the strategy itself some call president obama's decision to get involved in libya hypocrisy asking if libya why not examine or bahrain or sudan but others they can now put a little closer to home to countries on our own borders where there are plenty of in. since civilians being massacred countries like say mexico earlier i spoke to enrique morones founder of the border angels here's part of our conversation here right on the border between san diego and tijuana mexico the state's. fifty thousand people slaughtered innocent people that are simply trying to cross the border for a better life they have no legal way of to be there and they would be to be slaughtered in essence
