| RSA Animate - The Internet in Society: Empowering or Censoring Citizens? | |
| From: theRSAorg | 14 Mar 2011 Does the internet actually inhibit, not encourage democracy? In this new RSA Animate adapted from a talk given in 2009, Evgeny Morozov presents an alternative take on 'cyber-utopianism' - the seductive idea that the internet plays a largely emancipatory role in global politics. Exposing some idealistic myths about freedom and technology (during Iran's 'twitter revolution' fewer than 20,000 Twitter users actually took part), Evgeny argues for some realism about the actual uses and abuses of the internet. | |

| Japan declares nuclear no-go zone | |
| From: AlJazeeraEnglish | 21 Apr 2011 The Japanese government has imposed a ban on entering an exclusion zone around the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power complex. The no-go zone extends 20-kilometres around the facility, and will be enforced from midnight on Friday (1500GMT on Thursday). Residents fled the area after an evacuation was ordered on March 12, a day after a 9.0 earthquake and 15-metre tsunami critically damaged the plant's power and cooling systems. Several of them have since returned for short trips to retrieve their belongings. Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett reports from Tashiwazaki, Japan | |
