Japan's transport ministry has arranged a fly-over of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant for the media, providing a clear view of continuing clean-up operations at the complex.

The fly-over, the first time since the exclusion zone was announced, comes almost a year after the nuclear plant was crippled by an earthquake and tsunami.
Japan's transport ministry last week reduced the no-fly zone over Fukushima Prefecture from 20 kilometres to a three kilometre radius, based on the latest survey measuring radiation levels in the air.
Meanwhile, a report by the Rebuild Japan Initiative Foundation found that Japan's government withheld information about the full danger of the Fukushima nuclear disaster from its own people.
The report, which was compiled from interviews with more than 300 people, also concluded that government oversight of nuclear plant safety had been inadequate.
