00:00 Good day, I am Naomi Tiburcio and this is PPV News Now.
00:15 Japan starts release of treated wastewater from crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
00:21 Japan previously stated it was safe, but many are still against it.
00:26 According to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, or TEPCO, up to 7,800 tons of treated
00:32 wastewater will be charged within 17 days starting today.
00:37 This is the first of four releases of wastewater this fiscal year.
00:41 The majority opposition party and civic groups from South Korea protested against the move
00:47 sanctioned by International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA.
00:52 The Seoul Metropolitan Government has said that they will be conducting daily testing
00:58 in all seafood and major markets over consumer concerns on food contamination and assure
01:03 the release of all results in real time.
01:07 Yevgeny Prigozhin, Russia's most powerful mercenary, was killed in a plane crash in
01:12 Moscow.
01:13 According to Russia's Civil Aviation Agency, the Wagner chief was among 10 passengers reported
01:19 killed when the private jet they rode crashed.
01:23 Russia's investigative committee is investigating the cause of the incident.
01:27 But there is a lot of suspicion over foul play on the incident because he mounted a
01:32 mutiny against Russia's military leadership exactly two months ago.
01:38 The number of students who've enrolled for the school year 2023 to 2024 has reached over
01:43 18 million.
01:45 The largest number of enrollees was recorded in Region 4A with over 3 million, followed
01:51 by National Capital Region with 2.3 million enrollees, while Region 3 has more than 2
01:58 million.
01:59 According to the Department of Education, this is based on the latest Learner Information
02:03 System Quick Count data.
02:05 Classes in public schools are scheduled to start on August 29.
