In effect. coalition planes are patrolling the area to detour air attacks on civilians. in japan a grandmother and teen-aged grandson rescued nine days after the earthquake and tsunami. more on that dramatic story in just moments. but first, japanese officials have put the death toll at 8,450. nearly 13,000 are missing. at the crippled fukushima power plant, electricity has been restored. workers hope to have water pumps working again to reactor two. in a speech in rio de janeiro, president obama made a brief announce. he said they're taking a stand against a regime intending to brutaliz...

With m.i.t. and dr. sanjay gupta is with me here in tokyo. jim walsh, in terms of what you've seen, the good news i guess is that they've at least hooked up this power to reactor one and two. but they haven't hooked the cable up to the cooling pumps and we don't know if the pumps will work. in terms of the battle to cool down reactors three and four, it doesn't seem like there's much good news there. >> it's boone a good news/bad news story. now we have to hope that all the way through to the cooling pump will work. they're working on their two best shots first. reactor two looks in pretty goo...

If we have power back to that reactor we're not sure whether we have adequate cooling for that reactor. >> let's assume they get all of it under control -- and that's an assumption, it hasn't happened yet -- and the power is working again, how much damage would we have already suffered? first, obviously, we have the workers in the plant. how bad a situation are they in and then the people in the 12, 50 mile perimeter, et cetera? what kind of damage are we looking at is this. >> based on what we know and there's a lot of uncertainties here but still it looks like there's been at least partial c...

The san andres fault is safe, i think that should raise questions right there. when we're told that production margins are not the priority, we should look at the nuclear power station just outside of toledo, ohio. both the nuclear regulatory commission and first energy nuclear basically allowed corrosion through boric acid leaking out of that reactor for years to eat through 6 3/4 inches of steal down to 3/16 of an inch of a terrible accident that would have blown the reactor out into the containment and challenged that containment system and, you though, they had rust, pictures of rust flowi...
