Work to reduce radiation in Tokyo

Work to reduce radiation in Tokyo

TOKYO, Japan - Workers measure radiation levels at a blocked road beside the premises of a supermarket in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward on Nov. 15, 2011, before an operation to lower the levels. The high radiation levels in the area are apparently not related to an accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, as a buried bottle containing radium was removed at the supermarket site earlier in the month.

                A tree feller at work in the woods of Cuq-Toulza near the trees occupied by 'Ecureuils'. In the woods near Cuq-tToulza in the Tarn Departement on the planned A69, opponents to this project nicknamed the woods the 'Serwood forest that three people ('Ecureuils' ie 'squirrels') climbed on oaks to block their cutting for the building site. They were deprived of food, water and sleep by police during more than 36 hours. After the coming of the OPP (Police Practices Observatory), the support of opponents and a phone call to the Prefet by MP Karen Erodi, 'ecureuils' have been resupplied. A near-accident happened when a lumberjack let a tree fall on the rope connecting two 'ecureuils' and he knew what he was doing. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' (ie 'The Way is Free') want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content to be given. All expropiations for farmers aren't cleared. Opponents at this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be suffisant for the 6
