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.

Hamas Releases New Footage, Confirms Two Male Hostages Have Died


 The Palestinian Islamic extremist group, Hamas, released three video clips on Sunday (14th) through its branch, the Qassam Brigade, urging Israel to stop the fighting. They also announced their plan to release new clips on Monday (15th). In the footage, 26-year-old Chinese-Israeli woman Algamani appeared, while the other two male hostages were reported to have died in Israeli airstrikes, but this was denied by the Israeli military.




Algamani stated that he suffered a head injury and was injured by bomb fragments, reiterating his call for Israel to bring the hostages home. The segment ends with a display of the bodies of two male hostages, 53-year-old Sharabi (Yossi Sharabi) and 38-year-old Svirsky (Itay Svirsky). Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson Haggari accused Hamas of lying and emphasized that the building where the hostages were hiding was not a target for the military.




The Israeli Defense Minister, Galant, accuses Hamas of psychologically torturing the families of Israeli hostages during the intense fighting. Galant also stated that after the recent intensive ground operation in northern Gaza, there will be a reduction in operations in southern Gaza, but military pressure will continue as the only way to secure the release of over a hundred hostages still held by Hamas.

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."
