A year later, decontamination and construction crews are still working to clean up the nuclear disaster at Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi Power plant. Experts expect the cleanup will take decades and cost tens of billions of dollars. The earthquake and resulting tsunami that hit Japan 's east coast last March 11th was one of the biggest the world has ever recorded, killing nearly 16000 people, injuring 6000 and causing another 3000 to go missing. But the natural disaster was eclipsed by news of the nuclear one, which was the worst since the Chernobyl meltdown in 1986. Japan's struggles in dealing with Fukushima captivated the world's attention for weeks, as a small group of men in radiation suits fought to cool the plant's damaged and burning reactors. 200000 area residents were evacuated. Polling shows public opinion around nuclear power also remains damaged, with the possible impact of natural disasters on plants and the power to contain damage still in question. Eleven US power companies are currently seeking license extensions for 15 nuclear power plants across America built decades ago. In the wake of Fukushima, the future of old plants, and the viability of new ones, hangs in the balance.

More on the story on.rt.com Anti-war activists have held a day of action in key British cities to warn the authorities against a potential attack on Iran. A similar rally is expected in the capital of Israel, which is leading calls to strike over Tehran's nuclear programme. Campaigners fear the mounting pressure could escalate into all-out war, the effects of which would reverberate globally. RT talks to British MP Jeremy Corbyn, who's also a member of the 'Stop the War Coalition', which organised the UK protests. RT on Twitter twitter.com RT on Facebook www.facebook.com

Un documentaire de Corinne PEHAU et Sandrine BRICLOT Produit par France 3 Nord-Pas-de-Calais L'affaire du Carlton de Lille est désormais mondialement connue. Chaque jour, les touristes étrangers se font photographier devant l'hôtel, qui affiche complet. Au palais de justice de la ville, trois juges poursuivent leurs investigations. Depuis près d'un an, ils enquêtent sur un système de prostitution en bande organisée et d'abus de biens sociaux visant à satisfaire des notables de la région, des policiers, des chefs d'entreprises et Dominique Strauss- Kahn. C'est l'apparition du nom de l'ancien directeur du FMI qui a propulsé ce dossier sur la scène internationale. Pour démêler cet imbroglio judiciaire, qui oscille entre vaudeville et tragédie, Corinne PEHAU et Sandrine BRICLOT reviennent sur onze mois de dénonciations, révélations, arrestations, incarcérations, qui font trembler le Tout-Lille. Avec, au cœur de l'affaire, un personnage truculent, « Dodo la Saumure », le « roi » autoproclamé des salons de massages coquins qui fleurissent le long de la frontière franco-belge.
