The Wire

Thousands of bodies have been found among the wreckage on the Japan’s eastern coastline as the country struggles to recover from Friday’s massive earthquake and tsunami. Aftershocks continue to be felt, and a quake measuring 6.2 occurred off the coast this morning, triggering false tsunami alarms. Yet another explosion also occurred during the day at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, but authorities say that the vessel containing the nuclear fuel rods remains intact. To discuss the evolving situation Meri Joyce joined The Wire live in Tokyo. Originally from Melbourne, Meri has spent the last 6 years in Tokyo working as the international co-ordinator for the Japanese NGO, Peace Boat.
