News Item 1

Many people in Japan have been forced to leave their homes.

Japanese media report that 450,000

people—half a million—are living in shelters like this evacuation center that

was set up inside a junior high

school’s gym. Many others are trying to get out of Japan entirely. Kyung Lah

shows us the packed scene at

Tokyo’s airports and the deserted streets of downtown.

News Item 2

Investigators in Winnipeg have compiled evidence that two Canadian

citizens conspired to travel to

Pakistan for terrorist training. There is also evidence that they planned

subsequently to join the insurgency

against NATO forces in Afghanistan. Arrest warrants have been issued

for Ferid Ahmed Imam, aged 30,

and Maiwand Yar, aged 27. As the current whereabouts of Yar and Ahmed are

unknown, these charges have

been laid in absentia.

News Item 3

Rescue crews are spread out all over northern Japan trying to reach

survivors of the quake and

tsunami. But rescuers are facing obstacles as well. Obviously, they have to

work around all the rubble and

the fooding you see here. But they’re also dealing with aftershocks. And

the weather is supposed to get

worse, which could in itself cause problems. There are scenes of

incredible rescues taking place. A sixty-

year-old man was swept out to sea, along with his house. He managed to hold

on to part of his roof, and a

Japanese naval ship found him foating nine miles off the coast.
