just publicly?! what?! the leak, which hasn t been officially confirmed, sent fans into a frenzy with many pledging to wait for the official release. and that s not cool. just wait 36 more hours. like, we ve waited this long. i think most people will want to wait because part of the fun of being a fan of something is everyone at the same time listening to it and reacting to it at the same time and sort of getting those first hand reactions. but i m sure people will secretly be listening and not telling anyone! # it s me, hi. # i m the problem, it s me. the leak is undoubtedly an inconvenience for taylor swift, but she won t be losing too much sleep the same thing happened with her last album midnight, and it went on to sell more than six million copies in just eight weeks. mark savage, bbc news. my my producers werejoking

it s been diluted and filtered, but it won t be entirely radiation free. officials and experts insist it s not a threat. as far as i m concerned, the safest place for all of this is in the pacific ocean, because you have a dilution factor of many, many fold. it literally is a drop in the ocean. even if they put all of that water in at once, it s still a drop in that ocean. but many people here are not convinced. translation: you can tell me it s safe, but nobody knows - what the effect will be in 30 years time. i m absolutely positive that my fish won t sell now. translation: i want to continue living in fukushima. i don t want to be in a situation where i can t eat the sushi here any more. lots of people are against the release. there is a deep lack of trust in this process. many locals have told us that itjust hasn t been transparent enough. officials are saying that the amount of radiation being pumped into the ocean is well below the international safety sta nda rds. now, the sc
and there is a deep lack of trust in this process. many locals have told us itjust hasn t been transparent enough. officials say the amount of radiation they re releasing into the sea is going to be well below the international safety sta nda rds. the science may back these claims, but it does nothing to prevent the reputational damage to fukushima or calm the wave of anger and anxiety both here and around the region. translation: i want to continue living in fukushima. i don t want to be in a situation where we can t eat sushi any more. translation: you can tell me it is safe now, but nobody knows what the accumulated effect will be in 30 years time. a crowd of protesters in tokyo staged a rally earlier this week outside the prime minister s office, urging the government to stop the release. japan s neighbours are furious. china has announced an immediate ban onjapanese seafood imports, and previously accused tokyo of treating the pacific ocean as its sewage dump.
in 2011, the country s most powerful earthquake triggered a tsunami that swept through the east coast, killing more than 18,000 people and causing the worst nuclear disaster since chernobyl. the water used to cool the destroyed nuclear reactors has been building up here in these tanks. there are more than 1 million tonnes of it. today, it s being released. as we speak, treated radioactive wastewater is being pumped into the ocean from the daiichi nuclear power plantjust behind me. and there is a deep lack of trust in this process. many locals have told us itjust hasn t been transparent enough. officials say the amount of radiation they re releasing into the sea is going to be well below the international safety sta nda rds. the science may back these claims, but it does nothing to prevent the reputational damage to fukushima or calm the wave of anger and anxiety both here and around the region. translation: i want to continue living in fukushima. i don t want to be in a situation whe
