Out later. and that is one of the criticisms in charge of the reactors is that they don't give information to them fast enough. latest reports is there is another fire there. and if you take a look at video you can see the steam cloud that we've seen seen in recent days since the earthquake. and greta, i want to give you a look at one of the english papers here in tokyo. on the front page, papers are wider than in the states. they have a picture where it's lined up, reactor one, two, three, four. these are the four reactors where problems have been taking place. you can see this around town an...

Pool where these rods were being cooled. the reactor had been off-line at the time. they told us the fire is under control. now fast forward this afternoon -- well this afternoon your time, a reporter for the bbc sent out a tweet that there had been an explosion, at reactor number 4. we couldn't confirm that, to be could. a few hours later they tell us there's another fire at reactor number 4 in the same pool in the northeast corner in the same place where it happened yesterday many they don't tell us this say new fire. they tell us this is a fire that never was completely put out the day befo...

Proving really difficult. here's what we think is happening. reactor one, its outer building exploded on saturday. there's probably been a partial melting inside. and they're still pumping in seawater. reactor two, the most worrying, with an explosion here last night and crucially a potential breach inside it. the first possible damage to any of the reactors. it's thought that this device down below, which handles excess pressure, may have been breached. and this could be one source of leaking radiation. now, reactor three is also in trouble with an explosion of the outer building, maybe a par...
