  On Thursday (15th), the Tokyo Electric Power Company of Japan provided further clarification on the cause of the nuclear waste water leakage at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, stating that it was due to human error on Wednesday (7th). Last Wednesday, about 5.5 tons of radioactive contaminated water leaked from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant's water purification system. According to Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), the leak occurred on Thursday morning in the high-temperature incinerator building while the facility was cleaning and treating contaminated water from the reactor building with the "second cesium adsorption system" to reduce radiation levels in preparation for maintenance. The system is connected to the external wall's exhaust vent, through which the contaminated water leaked.

7-year-old son calmly called an ambulance to save his comatose father's life


 Harry (on the left) calmly called for an ambulance and had Nick (on the right) promptly taken to the hospital.




A family from Australia recently went on a trip to Geelong, located in the western part of Melbourne. During their travels, the father suddenly felt unwell and collapsed. Fortunately, their young son had recently learned some first aid knowledge at school and was able to calmly call for an ambulance, saving his father's life.




According to reports, Nick Wilson, who is 44 years old, was crossing the street when he suddenly experienced difficulty breathing and felt that something was very wrong. As he attempted to call for help, he found himself unable to stand and suddenly collapsed into a chair, his vision clouded with darkness.




At the age of 7, Harry Wilson recalled that the emergency responder who came to share at his school had said that there was no need to fear after dialing "0" during an emergency. So, he calmly dialed the emergency number and told the operator their location, as well as describing the street signs and nearby stores. When Harry heard the ambulance siren, he waved to the responders and even ran ahead to guide them. He promptly brought his father to the emergency room for treatment and became a hero in his father's eyes.

Korea's Han Accuses Kim Jong Un of Exploiting Grandfather's Image to Hasten Idol Project

  According to officials from South Korea's Ministry of Unification on Thursday (15th), North Korea has been actively promoting the idolization of current leader Kim Jong-un by utilizing the image of the late leader Kim Il-sung as "supreme commander during wartime", "father of the socialist family", and "ideological leader" in order to strengthen control over the system and unite internal forces. During the last year's Labor Party Conference, Kim Jong Un mentioned the "pacification of the entire territory of South Korea," which evokes memories of the "territorial integrity" mentioned in North Korea's government manifesto by Kim Il Sung on September 10, 1948.
