For that. sky news can reveal that two and a half million households with children will be in poverty when the new energy price caps come into effect at the start of april. families deemed to be in fuel poverty if 10% of its income is spent paying energy bills. since february of last year, an annual price of an energy tariff was increased by more than 800 pounds, almost 2000 pounds. areas in the west and east midlands of london are worst affected. some 40% of households in this part of the count...

The crack in the containment. and basically what theyre pouring in the top is still running out the bottom and being collected now. its not going into the ocean. but eventually theyll run out of room again and probably have to dump it in the ocean. reactor three is interesting because its -- it looks like a pile of rubble. but the reactor temperatures are actually the best. on the other hand, the fuel pool, which is that little tiny hole in the top, to me, looks like its been partially destroyed...

Disaster or do you think its just another complication? >> well, at the moment, joe, we dont really know whats the use of that water, that they found in the turbine building. it may havd e me from water that spilled over and leaked down from the 900,000 gallons or so that theyve pumped up into the fuel pool, which sits onbu top the building there, spilled over and drained down and found its way to the turbine building. it may have come from thsteam lines or the feed water lines. you pump water i...

And what do you see in this image? >> again, this is the top of the reactor here where the most damage has occurred. >> okay. theres what appears to be a hole in the side. this is the south-facing side of the reactor. >> i moved the whole thing. >> here we go. thats okay. actually -- >> ill use my finger off. >> now you can draw. okay. >> there you go. >> youre welcome. >> thats the hole and thats on the same side as the steam was coming out in number three, so -- so its a bit of conjecture. >> ...

Aerial information saying the cooling of the overheated spent fuel pools is having little effect, meaning the water drops in the water cannons not doing the job at this point. reactor number three is still highly sensitive and the fuel pool is believed to be dangerously low. the japanese and u.s. governments have had different ways to deal with radiation fears, but now a team of specialists is headed to japan. theyre going to give their best advice on manning the situation. >> chris lawrence w...

These buildings. what does that tell you? >> well, i think anderson cooper had it right. theres a lot of rubble there. and it isnt clear that once they get the electricity to the pumps that are in those buildings that the pumps will work. and if the pumps work, its not clear that the pipes that are connected to them will work. so getting the electricitys critical, but its not game over at that point. its a real big question about whether or not theyll be able to get water in. on unit 4 this pict...

The real bottom line is we have a situation where the nuclear complex has been compromised as a result of a station blackout. the reactors have a very limited cooling for some period of time and have released some form of their nuclear radioactivity and the issue that makes this similar to three mile island is the reactor. the thing that makes it more complex is we dont have one reactor thats affected here, we have four plus a large fuel pool. >> whats your worry now that its reached five. does ...

Jeg bri gregory jaczko delivered the bad news. >> what we believe at this time is that there has been a hydrogen explosion in this unit due to an uncovering in the fuel in the fuel pool. we believe that secondary containment has been destroyed and there is no water in the spent fuel pool age we believe that radiation levels are extremely high which could possibly impact the ability to take corrective measures. >> no water in the spent fuel pool. that means that radioactive fuel rods are now expo...

>> i tell you the truth, i think youre overplaying the difference, the information that they put out was available -- in fact, i got it this morning from the japanese nuclear industry website. they put out a chart and that spent fuel pool in unit 4 is marked in red and about the water being low. its a very serious situation and i think that theyre very much aware. i mean, my god, the emperor spoke on the subject. but we are at a very, very critical stage, the company is saying and i dont know if...
