Japan PM visites


JAPAN'S prime minister today surveyed the damage caused by the devastating earthquake and tsunami that killed as many as 25,000.

His visit came as officials revealed that highly radioactive water was leaking into the sea from the nuclear power station stricken by the disaster.
The Fukushima plant has been spewing radioactivity since March 11, when its cooling systems were knocked out by the tsunami.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan went to the plant and flew over the
tsunami-damaged coast soon after the wave hit, but today was the first time he set foot in one of the pulverized towns.
Dressed in the blue work clothes that have become almost a uniform for officials, Kan stopped in Rikuzentakata, where the town hall is one of the few buildings still standing.
All its windows are blown out and a tangle of metal and other debris is piled in front of it.
The prime minister bowed his head for a minute of silence in front of the building.
He met with the town's mayor, whose 38-year-old wife was swept away in the wave and is still missing.
Officials fear about 25,000 people may have been killed, many of whose bodies have not been found.
