Philippines Seeks Answers About Latest South China Sea Incident
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(VOA) The Philippine government says it has conveyed "serious concerns" to
the Chinese embassy about reports that Chinese ships unloaded building
materials and put up military posts on reefs claimed by Manila in the South
China Sea. Officials say they are still trying to confirm if the ships were
from China.
The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs is asking the top ranking
official at the Chinese Embassy in Manila whether Chinese boats were in the
area around Amy Douglas Bank.
The department says the Philippine defense and military agencies received
reports that a surveillance ship and two marine vessels put up steel posts,
building materials and buoys on the island that it says is well within the
country’s economic zone.

Die Katastrophe von Fukushima übertrifft Tschernobyl
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(theintelligence) Tokio könnte unbewohnbar werden! Diese Meinung gab der
altgediente Politiker Ichiro Ozawa in einem Interview von sich.
Beschönigende Kommentare von Experten erachtet er als bedeutungslos, denn
diese seien wirtschaftlich von der Atomindustrie abhängig. Nicht der
Betreiber des Atomkraftwerkes von Fukushima, TEPCO, sei für die
Entwicklungen nach der Naturkatastrophe zu kritisieren, sondern die
Regierung Japans, die sich bislang ihrer Verantwortung entzieht. Sowohl
Ozawa als auch russische Experten erachten die Ausmaße der Katastrophe von
Fukushima als wesentlich dramatischer als jene von Tschernobyl.
