#BreakingNews: #Saudi Foreign Minister: The unity of the Syrian opposition factions is most important step which has finally happened

Over the several month of 2012, Syria has been declared to be in a civil war. The opposition was fractured for a majority of the conflict, but in November 2012 they assembled the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary & Opposition Forces. I heard in the past days that they even have chosen a transitional prime minister as they are working to take down President Assad's regime. He has been ruling with escalating brutality since his father died after 29 years of ruling in the year 2000.

TEPCO moves up schedule to remove nuclear fuel from Fukushima plant http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/fukushima/AJ201212040068 …
 
 Japan can be seen as a highly conservative nation; additionally, after the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, hitting the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, over the following three weeks after March 11, 2011 there was evidence of partial nuclear meltdowns in units 1, 2 & 3: visible explosions. This nuclear disaster made the concept very controversial especially in the current election. They turned off some of their nuclear power plants over the summer, but the nation cannot function well without it.
