TEPCO re-explains Fukushima nuclear waste leak, cites human error

  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. According to TEPCO, two operators from collaborating companies failed to notice the open state of a valve and missed relevant reminder signs before starting t...

At least 29 people were killed in the Israeli bombing of Khan Yunis Hospital


 On Friday (19th), the Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that Israel launched an attack on the Khan Yunis Nasir Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of 29 people.




According to witnesses, there were reports of ground battles and explosions throughout the day on Friday in the western part of Khan Younis. Fireballs were seen under some roofs in the afternoon, and smoke was seen in most areas of the city. Several residential buildings near Nasser Hospital were attacked, resulting in the death of an entire family of eight. Rescue workers found bodies of victims under the ruins of the houses and on the surrounding streets, with several refugees also being injured.




The United Nations previously estimated that around 7,000 people are seeking refuge in the Nassir Hospital and nearby areas, with medical staff reporting frequent attacks within a few meters of the hospital in the past week. Since the conflict spread to the southern part of Gaza last month, the Nassir Hospital has been receiving hundreds of injured patients every day, leading to concerns that continued attacks from the Israeli military may force the hospital to close.

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. Officials from the Ministry of Unification analyzed that this move was intended to emphasize Kim Jong Un as the supreme commander who inherited Kim Il Sung's idea of "unification through armed communism." Furthermore, during the Central Research Discussion ...
