STOUT: Welcome back. Now, Japan's prime minister has survived a no confidence vote, but says he will step down after the nuclear crisis is over. Now, critics accused him of poor leadership in the wake of Japan's massive earthquake and tsunami, but he still won almost two-thirds of the vote. Kyung Lah has more.</s>KYUNG LAH, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Japan's prime minister survives and holds on to his job, at least for now. A day of political high drama in Tokyo. The lawmakers, filing in one by one, and voting either for or against a no confidence motion. This motion, if it had passed, would have meant that Prime Minister Kan would have to either resign in 10 days, or dissolve parliament and call a snap election. Well, in the end, the motion went down 298-152, so he retains his job. But what happened here in Tokyo is being viewed on the streets, especially in the streets of the tsunami region, with a large measure of disgust. Remember, in the devastated areas in the tsunami zone, there are still more than 100,000 people living on blankets in evacuation centers. There is no infrastructure, they have no jobs. There is no clear roadmap for them on what's next. So, with all of this happening down here in Tokyo, many up there view it as a political circus when there is still so much work to be done.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): There are no members of parliament who care about people. They use fancy words, but it's only for their own political election.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translator): This is not the time to do this. This should be the time that people are United for Japan's recovery.</s>LAH: The prime minister, before the vote in parliament, pledged that he would eventually step down. That may be what actually saved his job today. So there will be more political turmoil in Japan, just not today. Kyung Lah, CNN, Tokyo.</s>STOUT: Now, Russia is banning vegetables from the EU.
