NEWS IN RELATION TO JAPAN ON 13 JULY 2013 FUKUSHIMA HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS !! The Japanese nuclear power plant in Fukushima has probably leaked contaminated water in the sea since Fukushima was destroyed by a powerful earthquake and ensuing tsunami on 11 March 2011. This is the conclusion reached by the Japanese nuclear authorities after having found evidence of high contamination / radio-activity in the see off Fukushima. "It is a fact that the sea water contains a high level of radio-activity (contamination) and that the contamination continues. In my opinion noone can deny this", says Shunichi Tanaka who is suppreme head within the nuclear authorities - so New York Times reports. One of the most critical problems following the 2011 accident is the groundwater running into the cellars of the buildings housing the crippled reactors of the nuclear power plant. It has been possible to pump the contaminated water out of the cellars and down into containers, but Tokyo Electric Power Company aka. Tepco that owns and operates the plant is no longer sure whether the contaminated water ends up in the sea or not. Article posted in the Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende on 12 July 2013 signed BNB I think so, because 2-3 days ago I read the following when reading German ARDtext: The level of contamination in the sea water closest to the nuclear power plant is extremely high. 2

13 July 2013 Last updated at 07:41 GMT French train crash: Rescue goes on at Bretigny-sur-Orge Rescue efforts are continuing to find the passengers of a train that crashed at Bretigny-sur-Orge, south of Paris, on Friday afternoon. At least six people have been killed and 30 injured, eight seriously, the French prime minister has said. The train had just left Paris and was heading for Limoges when it derailed, crashing into a station platform. Investigations are getting under way into the cause of the accident, which happened at 17:14 (15:14 GMT). Rescuers have been searching throughout the night for anyone who might be trapped in the wreckage. Guillaume Pepy, president of the SNCF rail service, said six carriages had derailed during the accident. The train's third and fourth carriages derailed first and the others followed. He expressed "solidarity" with the victims and their families, adding "rail catastrophes are something that upset the whole public". Investigations will be undertaken by the SNCF, judicial authorities and France's BEA safety agency. Local media said a group of people had attempted to steal from the victims shortly after the crash, by pretending to be taking part in the rescue efforts. They reportedly threw stones at emergency workers as they tried to reach passengers. Crowded French transport routes were particularly busy at the time of the crash due to the run-up to a holiday weekend marking Sunday's Bastille Day. French President Francois Hollande has visited the scene to express his shock at the accident. He said that the station would be closed for three days while investigations were carried out. "We should avoid unnecessary speculation. What happened will eventually be known and the proper conclusions will be drawn," he said. The rail company SNCF said 385 passengers were on board when the train crashed. The station platforms were crowded at the start of a holiday weekend. British student Marvin Khareem Wone was on a train on another platform when the carriages of the intercity ploughed into the station. "The train went off the railway; it just went on the platform and kind of flew in the air for a second and went upside down," he told the BBC. "The first and the second coach were completely destroyed. I really thought no-one could survive that because it was completely mashed up. Everyone was crying and running everywhere. A woman was crying for her daughter who was still on the train." 'Images of war' Because of the damage to the station, he said ambulances could not reach the platform and the lift was not working. Other media reports spoke of passengers being electrocuted and crushed. "I saw many wounded women children trapped inside," Vianey Kalisa, who was waiting for his train from Bretigny to Paris, told AFP. "People were screaming. A man had blood on his face. These are images of war," he said. The train had left Paris-Austerlitz station at 16 :53 local time and was due to arrive at Limoges-Benedictins at 20:05, SNCF said in a statement. The BBC's Hugh Schofield says that in May, the company warned passengers that points work was being carried out in the area, where intercity and commuter lines dovetail. It is not clear if the earlier points problems are connected with Friday's crash, he says.

NEWS IN RELATION TO NATURAL DISASTERS ON 13 JULY 2013 TYPHOON SOULIK HAS SO FAR CLAIMED ONE HUMAN LIFE IN ISLAND STATE OF TAIWAN, AND 8,000 HAVE BEEN EVACUATED Typhoon Soulik made landfall in the north-eastern part of Taiwan in the night to Saturday local time. All island state is in alert. One person died, and at least 7 have been injured in capital TAIPEI due to the tropical storm. More than 8,000 people have been evacuated from their homes before arrival of Soulik carrying strong windgusts and enormous amounts of water. There were windgusts up to 227 km per hour when at sea corresponding to 63m per second which may cause massive destruction. Source: Danish TV2 news and dr.dk/news http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23297338 13 July 2013 Last updated at 03:58 GMT : Typhoon Soulik makes landfall in Taiwan Typhoon Soulik has made landfall in Taiwan, bringing strong winds and torrential rain to the island. So far one person is reported to have died while 21 have been injured in the extreme weather. More than 8,500 people have been evacuated from mountainous and other dangerous areas and thousands of soldiers have been deployed. Soulik is set to arrive in mainland China's eastern provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang later on Saturday. Local authorities there have been asked to implement emergency response plans, China's state-run news agency Xinhua reported, after recent torrential rain across large parts of the country reportedly left 200 people dead or missing. Uprooted trees Typhoon Soulik, a medium-force typhoon, had wind speeds of around 173 km/h (100 mph) on Saturday morning. It made landfall at around 03:00 on Saturday (19:00 GMT on Friday), Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau reported. A police officer was killed by falling bricks but other people suffered mostly light injuries, including from fallen trees or being blown off their scooters. The strong winds and heavy rain have caused electricity disruptions, a run on food and essential supplies in supermarkets, and uprooted trees and signs in some areas. This typhoon is the first to hit Taiwan this year and there had been fears of major damage because the island was the first place it made landfall, reports the BBC's Cindy Sui in the capital Taipei. Nearly 50,000 soldiers have been put on standby, she says. Schools and offices in Taipei and several other cities had closed on Friday afternoon as the tropical storm neared. Some flights to Taiwan have been disrupted, with both Cathay Pacific and China Airlines announcing cancellations. Precautionary measures have been taken to close the roads and bridges along areas most susceptible to disaster, officials said. Fishing boats had been returned to the shore before the typhoon hit, and members of the public were urged to avoid mountain and coastal areas. Evacuated residents - including 3,000 from Kaohsiung city and 2,000 from Pingtung county in the south of Taiwan - have been taken to local government buildings that have been turned into shelters, Agence France Presse reported. More than 2,000 tourists had earlier been evacuated from Taiwan's Green Island, near the city of Taitung, as a precaution. Typhoons are common during the summer in parts of East Asia, where the warm moist air and low pressure conditions enable tropical cyclones to form. In 2009, Taiwan was hit by Typhoon Morakot, which left hundreds dead in floods and mudslides.
