The secrets of Anna Chapman
Ms Chapman is coy about the accusations she spied on the United States
Russia's Anna Chapman captured the media world's attention last year when she was deported from the US, accused of being a spy. The BBC's Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg investigates "Russia's most glamorous secret agent".
On the 35th floor of a Moscow skyscraper, an office is filling with smoke.
Suddenly I hear the click-click-click of high heels on parquet floor. And through the mist walks redhead Anna Chapman in a stunning blue dress.
She doesn't seem in any hurry to evacuate the building.
That's because the smoke is being pumped into the room by a machine to make her look special.
Russia's most glamorous secret agent is here to record her weekly TV show. Judging from the scripted lines she's speaking to camera, it's clearly not light entertainment.
Japan nuclear: Workers evacuated as radiation soars
Mass burials have been held, including here at Yamamoto
Radioactivity in water at reactor 2 at the quake-damaged Fukushima nuclear plant has reached 10 million times the usual level, company officials say.
Workers trying to cool the reactor core to avoid a meltdown have been evacuated.
Earlier, Japan's nuclear agency said that levels of radioactive iodine in the sea near the plant had risen to 1,850 times the usual level.
The UN's nuclear agency has warned the crisis could go on for months.
It is believed the radiation at Fukushima is coming from one of the reactors, but a specific leak has not been identified.
Leaking water at reactor 2 has been measured at 1,000 millisieverts/hour - 10 million times higher than when the plant is operating normally.
"We are examining the cause of this, but no work is being done there because of the high level of radiation," said a spokesman for the plant's operator Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco).
Lighting is restored in the control room of reactor 2 at Fukushima
The operator of a stricken Japanese nuclear plant has been berated by officials for a lack of transparency and failures to protect workers.
The government said Tokyo Electric Power Co had to provide information more promptly.
The nation's nuclear agency said the operator of the Fukushima plant had made a number of mistakes, including worker clothing.
The plant was damaged in the deadly 11 March earthquake and tsunami.
The death toll has now passed 10,000, and more than 17,440 people are missing.
The UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has now sent extra teams to the Japanese nuclear plant.
IAEA director Yukiya Amano told the New York Times that the nuclear emergency could last weeks, if not months.
Japan warns on quake deaths rise
Hundreds of thousands of survivors are camped in basic shelters without heating or enough food.
Police in Japan say 15,000 people may have been killed in a single prefecture, Miyagi, by the huge quake and tsunami which struck nine days ago.
The announcement came as the official death toll rose to 8,133, with 12,272 people missing.
But there was some good news after an 80-year-old woman and a boy believed to be her grandson were found alive in the rubble of Ishinomaki city.
Attempts go on to stave off a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant.
Engineers are still working to restore power supplies to the plant's cooling systems, which were knocked out by the tsunami.
But even when they do, there is no guarantee the cooling systems in the plant will work, says the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in Toyko.
