Egypt told to give military leaders 'safe exit' by western governments
Western governments have been encouraging Egypt's nascent political powers to consider offering the military generals currently running the country immunity against prosecution, according to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf) has been in control of the country since the toppling of former president Hosni Mubarak in February 2011, with the junta's rule marked by
大熊町長“全域を帰還困難区域に” NHKニュース
原発事故の警戒区域に指定されている福島県大熊町の渡辺利綱町長は、政府が進めている避難区域の見直しに関連して、町の全域を長期にわたって居住が制限される「帰還困難区域」に指定することを求める考えを初めて明らかにしました。 これは会津若松市にある大熊町の仮役場で開かれた町議会の全員協議会で、渡辺町長が明らかにしました。 渡辺町長は、全域を「帰還困難区域」に指定することを求める理由について、町の中で複数の区域が指定された場合、住民の間で賠償の方法に差が出てしまうことや、早期の帰宅を目指して準備を行う区域などとなる地区の住民は全体の５％程度に限られることなどを挙げています。 避難区域の見直しを巡っては、政府が今月、大熊町に対し、複数の区域に見直される可能性があることを示したものの、住民の合意を得るのに時間がかかるため、見直しの時期は予定していた今月末より遅れる見通しとなっていました。 原発事故を巡っ
Japan has lots of plutonium on hand, little way to use it
SEOUL — The plutonium Japan has stockpiled for decades was supposed to be a smart energy source for the resource-poor nation. But last year's earthquake-triggered nuclear accident, along with growing global anxiety about extremists gaining access to radioactive material, is turning a potential asset into a liability. Speaking at the Nuclear Security Summit here Tuesday, Japanese Prime Minister Yos
US acted to conceal evidence of intelligence failure before 9/11
The US government shut down a series of court cases arising from a multimillion pound business dispute in order to conceal evidence of a damning intelligence failure shortly before the 9/11 attacks, MPs were told. Moreover, the UK government is now seeking similar powers that could be used to prevent evidence of illegal acts and embarrassing failures from emerging in court, David Davis, the former
Verdict on UK riots: people need a 'stake in society', says report
An independent panel set up by the government to study the causes of last summer's riots calls for more people to be given "a stake in society" to help prevent a repeat of the disturbances. The report, by the Riots Communities and Victims Panel, concludes that the riots were fuelled by a range of factors including a lack of opportunities for young people, poor parenting, a failure of the justice s
特報！グーグル、初の月額課金制度を4月にも開始：日経ビジネスオンライン
米グーグルが、スマートフォンやタブレット端末向けのアプリ配信で、初めての月額課金サービスを導入することがわかった。アプリ1本ごとに売り切りにしている現在の課金モデルだけでなく、毎月少額の料金を利用者から徴収できるようにする。 コンテンツの月額課金は、NTTドコモのiモードなどが成功させたビジネスモデル。アプリ開発会社は、毎月継続的な収入が見込めるため良質なコンテンツを開発できる一方、月ごとの課金が少額になるため、利用者の心理的負担も軽くなる。 グーグルが主導するアンドロイド陣営のスマートフォンは台数では米アップルの「iPhone」に肩を並べるものの、アプリ配信による収益化が課題だった。「日本発」の課金モデルを導入することでコンテンツ会社を囲い込み、アップル陣営に対抗する。 だが、新課金モデルはグーグルのアプリ配信基盤の上だけでしか認めない方針。新たな囲い込み戦略は、外部の課金基盤を使ってす
Bush Senior Also Promised Moscow more Flexibility after Election
President Obama was caught by an open mic Monday telling outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would “have more flexibility” in missile negotiations “after the election.” Republicans jumped all over Obama for the remark implying that it showed he wasn’t being as tough as he should with the Russians. But reassuring Russians about your public inflexibility in a campaign year is almost a
