Q; pronouncing "Fukushima"

[Joel S. Berson]

Is it FOO-koo-SHEE-mah (large accent on SHEE) or foo-Koo-shih-MAH
(small or no accent on Koo, larger but still slight on MAH)?  I had
heard only the former until once hearing a Brit (perhaps from BBC,
perhaps only CNN international) use the latter.

(My presumption is that the latter is correct, given what I think I
was told once about hi-Roh-shih-MAH.)
