War cash wild as jets & bombs fail to break Gaddafi's grip


In Libya, NATO jets have attacked a government weapons depot just south-west of the capital Tripoli.

Fierce fighting has been reported in the the city of Misrata, the last rebel stronghold in the west.

But despite almost daily bombing runs, coalition jets have been unable to break Gadaffi's siege of the port-city.

New hydrogen blast at Fukushima nuclear reactor after Japan quake-tsunami


Follow latest updates at twitter.com and www.facebook.com To the latest developments in Japan now where there's been a second blast at the Fukushima nuclear plant. 11 people were injured in the explosion. The reactors are said to be intact at the moment. And officials claim there hasn't been a change in the radiation levels since the latest incident took place. At least 22 people have already been exposed to radiation - after an earlier explosion following Friday's devestating tremor and tsunami. Officials say the possibility of another blast is now unlikely. People within a 20km radius of the reactor have been evacuated to safety. There had been warnings of a three-metre high tsunami moving towards the northeast coast of Japan caused by a strong aftershock. We're now getting reports that the alert has been lifted. Prime Minister Naoto Kan has called it the worst crisis since World War II. RT's Ivor Bennett is in Sendai, one of the towns worst-affected by the huge wave.
