| Uploaded by RussiaToday on 15 Apr 2011 Libya might soon turn into a goldmine for private security firms. Reports say that the UK is already hiring mercenaries to protect the interests of the big corporations there, once Colonel Gaddafi goes. But there are fears their chequered history in previous interventions could turn this civil-war-torn country - into a proper Wild West. | |

| 400,000 to develop cancer in 200 km radius of Fukushima | |
| Uploaded by RussiaToday on 13 Apr 2011 Engineers at Japan's Fukushima plant continue work on emptying highly radioactive water from one of the nuclear reactors. The latest tests show that radiation levels in the sea near the damaged facility have spiked. On Tuesday, Japan raised the level of nuclear alert at the plant to the maximum of seven, putting it on a par with the Chernobyl disaster. Recovery efforts came under threat as series of powerful aftershocks hit the area near the power station. It came a month after the massive earthquake and tsunami devastated the country, leaving over 13 thousand people dead. Monitoring stations around the world have been picking up small amounts of radioactive particles spreading from Fukushima. | |

| Hot, soon! Author, Mark Hertsgaard: Nuclear power will make climate change worse, not better | |
| [quote]At a time when we are cutting health care, education, old people from the budget, we want to put $54 billion in loan guarantees for nuclear power plants that, why do we need loan guarantees? Precisely because Wall Street won't touch those investments. And they're doing it in the name of fighting climate change,[end quote] says Mark Hertsgaard, longtime environmental reporter. [quote]Nuclear power will make climate change worse, not better,[end quote] he argues. Mark joins Laura in studio to check in about the ongoing nuclear disaster in Japan and this week's PowerShift conference, where young people will push politicians to get serious about the climate future.

| American: The Bill Hicks Story -Interview with directors of new documentary | |
| Comedian Bill Hicks [quote]was really obsessed in some ways with the idea of getting people to think for themselves, confronting them with ideas they might have on a big subject,[end quote] says filmmaker Matt Harlock, one of the directors of the new documentary American: The Bill Hicks Story. Hicks died in 1994, but his influence lives on in today's political comics and his critiques of the first Iraq war sound remarkably prescient years later. Matt Harlock and Paul Thomas join Laura in studio to discuss their film, Hicks' work, and why political comedy remains so important. | |

| GRITtv: Deborah Small: A Real Conversation on Drug Policy | |
| GRITtv: [quote]We're able to maintain the illusion that we're fighting a war on drugs and that we're protecting young people we're doing it on the backs of poor people. Poor people of color, rural poor people, poor people who don't have access to jobs. We have one group of people who we've said that their employment is going to be the keepers of these other people that we've locked up for drug use because they don't have jobs and you don't have jobs ever. We've built a whole system out of policing, locking up and controlling poor people,[end quote] says Deborah Small, who's dedicated her life to fighting for a responsible drug policy that helps, not hurts. Laura sat down with Deborah recently for some frank talk on our drug war failings, what a real drug policy would look like, and why more and more leaders are calling for an end to prohibition. And just this week, the NAACP is out with a new study, called Misplaced Priorities, on the consequences of the War on Drugs. | |

| US Congress passes budget deal | |
| From: AlJazeeraEnglish | 14 Apr 2011 The United States Congress has given its stamp of approval to a divisive budget compromise that averted a government shutdown last week. While the deal pledges a $38 billion cut in spending, however, a bipartisan congressional group says that the cuts will likely amount to only between $20 billion and $25 billion. Moreover, once government spending on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is factored in, rather than falling, the budget deficit is set to rise. Al Jazeera's Kimberly Halkett reports from Washington, DC. | |
