TOKYO, Japan - Photo taken May 19, 2012, from a Kyodo News helicopter shows the Karasu River in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture. Hazardous formaldehyde has been detected at some water plants in Gunma, Saitama and Chiba prefectures, leading to the water supply being cut off in four cities in Chiba the same day. Officials of Saitama Prefecture said that the upstream area of the Karasu River could be a potential source of the contamination, noting that there are local businesses dealing with substances that generate formaldehyde.

    After The Legally Binding Rapport Of Michel Forst, Activist Try To Resupply Activists In The 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD

    After The Legally Binding Rapport Of Michel Forst, Activist Try To Resupply Activists In The 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD

    Activists from LVEL (La Voie Est Libre, meaning 'The Way Is Free') and other associations are currently trying to pass through the riot police to resupply the 'Ecureuils' (meaning 'Squirrels'), who are living in the trees of the 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD (Zone To Defend) in Saix, Tarn, France, on March 1, 2024. Despite the efforts of MPs, including Karen Erodial, who also tried unsuccessfully, the Gendarmes Mobiles (riot police) are standing guard near the trees to block the supply of food and water by sympathizers. After two days of police efforts, only one 'Ecureuil' has been dislodged, but new trees are now being occupied by 'Ecureuils' in a new area called 'Cal'Arbre'. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' is demanding that the construction of the A69 highway be halted until all judicial decisions have been made, noting that the expropriations for farmers have not been resolved. Opponents argue that the reprofiling of the N126 would be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less tha

      A69: Riot Police Try To Dislodge 4ecureuils' At The 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD

      A police helicopter is flying near a hut occupied by individuals known as 'Ecureuils,' who are living in the trees in the woods in Saix, Tarn, France, on February 21, 2024. These 'Ecureuils,' or 'squirrels,' have installed themselves in the trees to block the cutting of the forest for the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. The area, dubbed 'Crem'Arbre,' is a ZAD, or Zone To Defend, where opponents of the project are trying to prevent construction. Riot police, known as Gendarmes Mobiles, are intervening to clear the ZAD of all opponents and are now standing guard near the trees to block the supply of food and water by sympathizers. Despite the police's efforts over two days, they have only managed to dislodge one 'Ecureuil.' The Human Rights League (LDH) has arrived to provide medical supplies to the 'Ecureuils.' Meanwhile, new trees are being occupied by 'Ecureuils' in a new area called 'Cal'Arbre.' The main collective 'La Voie est Libre,' or 'The Way is Free,' is demanding that the constructi
