TOKYO OLYMPIC BID FACES FUKUSHIMA CONCERN
Members
of Tokyo's Olympic bid committee have been questioned by journalists
about contaminated water leaking from the stricken Fukushima nuclear
power plant.
The host city for the 2020 games will be chosen on Saturday in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires.
The
Japanese committee members held a news conference in the city on
Wednesday that was attended by about 100 journalists from more than 20
media outlets.
Bid committee president Tsunekazu Takeda said at
the beginning that he hopes to spread the value of sports among young
people by hosting an Olympics in Asia, home to more than 1 billion
people.
4 out of the 6 questions asked were about the safety of Tokyo, in light of the radioactive water leak at the Fukushima plant.
Takeda responded saying Tokyo is safe in terms of radiation levels.
A
British journalist said Tokyo officials only emphasize the city's
safety but had still not answered the question. The reporter called it a
grave problem that should be taken more seriously.
An American journalist expressed dissatisfaction with the answer and said the question will be asked repeatedly.
A
reporter from an Argentine TV station said the Tokyo officials had
answered the question sufficiently by saying the city is safe.

Dr Busby describes measurements made on an air conditing unit filter
from inside an apartment in central Tokyo. This was sent by a lady in
Tokyo who wanted to know if it was safe to live there. The filter only
collected air from inside the apartment. It shows the presence of
130000Bq/kg radio Caesium in the dust plus enriched Uranium and for the
first time Lead-210/Polonium-210. The apartment was evacuated from the
Tuesday after the catastrophe and the machine switched off; and the
family returned 5 months later. This and much other information about
the health effects and cover ups, including leaked data are to be found
in Dr Busby's new book in Japanese: the Horror of Fukushima, published
on 25th July by Kodansha in Tokyo

Olympic Games during a public viewing event in Tokyo on Saturday.
BUENOS
AIRES — Choosing safety and security in a time of uncertainty, the
International Olympic Committee voted to bring the 2020 Summer Games to
Tokyo.

The Finalist Cities
The
International Olympic Committee chose Tokyo as the host city for the
2020 Summer Games. Madrid and Istanbul were the two other final
contenders.
The
International Olympic Committee announces who will host the 2020 Summer
Olympics. Watch the announcement and reactions from Tokyo.
Tokyo
carried the day over rivals Istanbul and Madrid by persuading the
committee it could best guarantee a successful Olympics. The vote will
bring the Olympics back to Tokyo for the first time since 1964, when the
Games helped Japan reintroduce itself to the world less than two
decades after the end of World War II.
The decision means that the
Far East will become the center of the Olympic movement toward the end
of this decade. The 2018 Winter Games are scheduled for Pyeongchang,
South Korea.
"In these uncertain times, we must make this a Games
that can be delivered," said a triumphant Masato Mizuno, chief executive
of the Tokyo2020 bid.
Tokyo nearly won on the first ballot,
garnering 42 of 94 votes, falling just six short of the majority needed
for victory. In that ballot, Madrid and Istanbul tied at 26 votes, with
Istanbul prevailing in a runoff, 49-45. On the second ballot, Tokyo
thumped Istanbul 60-36.
After the vote, IOC members filed out of
the hall at the Hilton Hotel complex to explain that the committee had
made a smart and safe choice rather than taking a risk.
"The
certainty was the critical factor," said Craig Reddie, chairman of the
IOC's evaluation commission, who credited Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe with addressing directly in his presentation continuing problems at
the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant, more than two years after a
tsunami triggered multiple meltdowns there. "The prime minister dealt
with the one big issue." Mr. Reddie added that concerns over the Spanish
economy hurt Madrid's bid. "I suspect the economy was a big factor."
As he walked out of the hall, Mr. Abe said, "I am very happy to share all of these emotions with the Japanese people."
Members
said the final vote came down to a choice between a largely secure
region and one of the safest big cities in the world and the capital of a
country that shares a border with Syria and was simply too close to the
turmoil in the Middle East.
"There were conversations about it," said James Tomkins, an IOC member from Australia and a former Olympic rower.
Hasan
Arat, chairman of Istanbul's bid, compared the outcome to sport. "This
is competition, and you have to respect the results." He declined to
speculate on whether political turmoil in his region had harmed the bid.
Turkey's
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, speaking to the Turkish press
accompanying him in Buenos Aires, said his country respected the
decision of the committee. "My only regret is that the Games were given
to a country which has already organized the Olympic Games. Istanbul
would have been a different kind of a city, a city which brings together
many cultures and civilizations and connects Asia with Europe." Mr.
Erdogan said Turkey may apply again in the future.

South Korea bans fish imports from Japan's Fukushima region
Seoul blames 'scientifically unacceptable' information from Tepco over radiation levels in waters around nuclear plant

South Korea has banned all fish imports from a large area of
Japan in response to growing concern over the possible environmental impact of recent leaks of highly toxic water at the
Fukushima Daiichi
nuclear power plant.
In
Japan, the row over the plant operator's handling of the leaks deepened
on Friday when the head of the country's nuclear watchdog issued a
stern rebuke to Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) for causing unnecessary
alarm overseas by releasing "scientifically unacceptable" information
about radiation levels.
Seoul's decision came as Japan's prime
minister, Shinzo Abe, prepared to make a final pitch for Tokyo's bid to
host the 2020 Olympics.
Tokyo is the bookmakers' favourite but
international concern over contamination at Fukushima Daiichi is
fuelling speculation that the Japanese capital could lose out to Madrid
or Istanbul. The International Olympic Committee will name the host city
at a meeting in Buenos Aires on Saturday evening.
South Korea
said it had imposed a total ban on fish from Fukushima and seven other
prefectures in response to growing public fears over the safety of
produce from the region. The fisheries vice-minister, Son Jae-hak, told
reporters that the ban would stay in place indefinitely, adding that
Japanese authorities had failed to provide timely and detailed
information about the water leaks.
South Korea imported 5,000
tonnes of fish from the affected region last year, including stocks from
Aomori in the far north, to Chiba, located east of Tokyo.
Despite
assurances by Japan that it rigorously tests food for radiation, China
has also maintained a ban on dairy, vegetable and seafood imports from
several prefectures, including Fukushima, since March 2011.
"We
have provided the South Korean government with relevant information
since the contaminated water leaks," the chief cabinet secretary,
Yoshihide Suga, said . "We will continue to ask South Korea to take
measures based on scientific facts."
In a statement carried by the
Yonhap news agency, South Korea's fisheries ministry said the ban had
been necessary "as the government concluded that it is unclear how the
incident in Japan will progress in the future and that the information
the Japanese government has provided so far is not enough to predict
future developments".
The impact from the recent water leaks was
being felt as far away as Buenos Aires, where Japanese officials were
besieged by questions about Fukushima ahead of the IOC's decisive vote.
Hiroshi
Hase, an MP and former Olympic wrestler, told reporters in the
Argentinian capital that contamination from Fukushima was "not even an
issue" for the health of people in Tokyo, located 150 miles south of
Fukushima Daiichi.

British diplomats shrug off nuclear fears with Fukushima cricket match
For
most cricketers, a green pitch might conjure worries of a sticky
wicket. But for one British Embassy team, the phrase may have taken on a
different meaning as they played a match near the damaged Fukushima
nuclear plant.
Shrugging
off recent reports of soaring radiation levels at the earthquake-hit
plant, a team from the British Embassy in Tokyo played a cricket match
on Saturday on the edge of the exclusion zone.
The
match was played on a baseball pitch on the town of Minamisoma, part of
which falls within the 17-mile no-go zone around the crippled plant,
against an international team drawn from players across the Tohoku
region.
“The reason we wanted to come
is because the people in places like this are being forgotten,” said Tim
Hitchens, the British ambassador. “Obviously there is a question of
safety, but the British government has from the start been led by the
science in its response to the situation at Fukushima.
“The
place where we have played today is perfectly safe,” he added. “I come
from Devon and there is a lot of granite that has greater background
radiation levels then there are here.”
Tests
carried out on the grass pitch before the game showed that the
radiation level was 0.6 microsieverts per hour, similar to naturally
occurring radiation in places such as Aberdeen and Cornwall.
