Government officials here are looking to overhaul the operator of japans crippled Nuclear Plant. Aiuchida joins us from the business desk. Ministry officials want to divide up the operations and create a unit to deal with decommissioning the crippled reactors at Fukushima DaiichiNuclear Plant. The officials want tepco executives to review how their company is organized. Then the officials aim to split it up. They want to create one firm for decommissioning the operation and other for Nuclear Power generation, thermal Power Generation, and transmission. The Ministry Officials believe the structure would make it easier to manage the work at the Fukushima DaiichiNuclear Plant and deal with the reactors. They also say forming a Holding Company would allow tepco to better manage each unit and make it easier for the firm to cut costs. Meanwhile, the government has indicated its willingness to consider providing funding to clean up the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. This came in response to a call by the Ruling Liberal Democratic Party for a greater Government Role in the efforts. Ldp officials have made the proposal as tepco is struggling to contain tainted water leaks at its crippled plant. Scrapping the damaged reactors is also a tough challenge, requiring huge costs and time. Under the current legal framework, the utility is obliged to pay for the decontamination costs, but the ruling party proposed the state should take the efforts as part of a public works project. Taro aso said the tab net will discuss the proposal. Translator i respect the proposal by the panel and the government will carefully study it.

And a bill for reforming japans electricity Retailing System has moved a step closer to gaining approval of the diet. The legislation was proposed after the disaster led to a tight power supply. The lower house has passed the bill to revise the electricity business act. The proposal now goes to the upper house.

In or after 2014, the government plans to introduce more bills, they would allow businesses and private homes to freely choose electricity suppliers. The legislation is also aimed at separating the Power Generation and transmission businesses. Under the current system, ten utilities, in effect, dominate both the generation and supply of power across the country. The government plans to complete the reform by 2020. All right.

And in terms of promoting innovation, new leaders will need to introduce more policies to introduce more private capital and increase competition. In terms of developing human capital, well need improvements in the Social Security system and an improvement in the education system. Can the government actually come up with bold policies if these vested interests actually come up against opposition . Well, what is happening in china right now, the leaders in beijing are trying to leverage the state councils recent proposal to try to consolidate and amplify Public Opinion ahead of the meeting thats supposed to reform. Were pretty skeptical these measures will be adequately addressed in a fourday weekend, but were convinced china can achieve a consumerdriven economy. We believe policies next week that would address the Social Security system, to address the family Registration System and the land right policies will help china move forward on its economic rebalancing act. The third Plenary Session will begin on saturday next week in beijing. Japans new car sales rose in october for the second straight month.

The United States and russia are trying to arrange a conference in geneva to find a political solution. The Syrian Opposition has a role to play here.

They are a population trapped in downtown homs, downtown aleppo, rural damascus, that need our support now. It should be accessible to humanitarian workers.

If we dont take steps now to get them back into school, the 2 million children ive mentioned that have dropped out inside syria, a half a million outside syria, then they will not be in a position to help rebuild the country in the future when they become the adults of the future. Its extremely important that we do Everything Possible today to focus not only on life saving needs, which are critical, but also on education and protection, so that we dont have a lost generation. Reporter unicef has started a back to School Campaign for children in and out of syria. Chiben says providing School Education for all syrian children must be a goal, even amid the conflict.
