Whether we like it or not, and with the Fukishima disaster in 2011 where a Nuclear Plant was destroyed by a Tsunami, the Japanese public are well within their rights to say that they don’t want Nuclear Power, as we all are.

There is however a rub, in order to achieve zero emissions targets by 2050 Japan realises it must have Nuclear Power and has gradually being restarting their Nuclear Plants.

The latest attempt with Japan’s largest Nuclear Plant was delayed due to a malfunction in an alarm. In truth I can understand why this makes people nervous.

However, since 2015 , Japan has restarted 15 out of its 33 operable reactors, it needs them to generate electricity as we all do. Battery Power, Wind Power or any other source won’t fix the supply of energy as cleanly and as efficiently as Nuclear Fusion.

This Headline intrigued me , it is a real life example of an Afghan Woman and her husband who escaped the clutches of the Taliban when the Americans cleared out of Afghanistan an let the Taliban loose on the populus.

The lady in question , qualified as a ‘judge’ when she was 25 years old, the minimum age for a circuit judge in Afghanistan. While the Americans were present she was still in constant danger with death threats and had to keep a low profile as well as changing cars in order to avoid being attacked. Three of her colleagues were killed in car bomb attacks.

Once the Americans left though, she was a target for the Taliban and their aggression to women having any rights, never mind doing important work. She, her husband and unborn child had to leave very quickly and managed to get Irish Visas for themselves but had to leave the rest of their family behind who are now in hiding.

Thankfully, the little family are now able to begin rebuilding their lives in Ireland and as the lady who escaped says ,’ Ireland saved our lives’.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏

The demonstration to block the entrance to the large distribution site for Lidl supermarkets was to protest for fairer food prices. I am pleased it has raised the profile of their campaign and I hope the other supermarket chains such as Sainsburys, Marks and Spencers, Waitrose , Tesco’s Aldi and Morrisons all take note.

In order to guarantee animal welfare we need to ensure that the process of growing food and looking after animals is not loss making. We all have a responsibility for this.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Apparently the Personal Protective Clothing(PPE) that was issued to four officers on the training for dealing with petrol bombs was defective and caused them to suffer burns which resulted in them having to go to hospital , but thankfully they have recovered and have now returned to normal duties.

PPE has a lifespan and unfortunately those four sets of PPE had reached the end.

The Police Force was sued by the Health and Safety Executive as they didn’t do a proper risk assessment. Thankfully this issue has now been addressed and all training has been reviewed and presumably equipment will be checked before being handed out. I suppose this is important for when the Police are called out on duty for any incident.
