The creator of “Bank Transfer Day” Kristen Christian explains that she has started an action on the grounds that she was tired from increased fees and that she could not access her money when she needed it.

Christian was a client of one of U.S. banks, namely «Bank of America» and she refused to pay a monthly $ 5 service charge for her bank card.

According to the data provided by the National Association of Credit Unions, after the introduction of additional fee for using cards, over 650 thousand customers refused the services of «Bank of America».

It should be noted that the protests against the banking system have been continuing in the U.S. not for the first month.

As reported by the Ministry of Defense of Israel, four men, which were inflicted by an air strike, planned rocket fire in Israel.

It should be noted that a week ago, “Islamic Jihad” made ​​a shooting attack in Israel in response to the fact that Israel launched air strikes, which resulted in death of several members of the group.

On October, 30 Israel with the help of Egypt negotiated a truce with the “Islamic Jihad”.

Representatives of Palestinian factions declared their intention to cease fire after Israel had launched air strikes on militant targets in Gaza on October 29.

At that time, 10 Palestinians were killed in attacks.

In turn, Israel has stated the death of one man and five men were injured by rocket attacks of Palestinians.

This vehicle can not be considered a full-fledged car.

Its maximum speed is 50 km per hour.

Expenses on such a vehicle, according to the Japanese, will be 5-10 times less than on a regular car.

Perk of the car is its exterior, safe for pedestrians, over which there was all this fuss.

Front, back and sides of the car are covered with soft materials and what is the most important – at the time of impact, these soft “cushions” can blow off the air to the desired air pressure to bring less harm to the pedestrian.

The price $ 10,140 per vehicle has already been announced.

Humanix is taking orders.

The company hopes that the car will be in demand among government agencies, as well as ordinary consumers.

100 copies of the new vehicle are available.

Series production is scheduled for April 2012.

Asteroid 2005 YU55 will pass 300 thousand kilometers from Earth, which is closer than the distance to the Moon. The object will be the closest passing space rock over the past 30 years.

According to scientists, potentially, this is a harmless asteroid, which provides a good opportunity to study it: NASA and NSF are planning to hold a series of studies, starting from Friday, in order to conduct reconnaissance of the surface and study its chemical composition.

Note that the next such asteroid will fly close to our planet only in 2028.

About 48,000 families who lived within 30km (18 miles) of the Fukushima Daiichi plant will be eligible.

The compensation is described as provisional, with payouts beginning on 28 April.

The plant operator, Tepco, is still trying to stabilise the nuclear facility.

“Tokyo Electric Company (Tepco) is to make an urgent and speedy payment in order to compensate for the losses incurred by evacuation and orders to stay indoors,” said chief government spokesman Yukio Edano.

“The basic idea is that one household will receive 1 million yen ($12,000, £7,331). We think that such an amount is necessary as a provisional payment,” he said.

The BBC’s correspondent in Tokyo, Roland Buerk, says the payments are the first of what is likely to be a massive compensation bill.

JP Morgan has estimated Tepco may face claims of up to 2 trillion yen, nearly $24bn (£15bn) by the end of this year.

Protests

Tepco and the Japanese government have faced criticism for not offering compensation earlier.

People forced to leave the area near the nuclear plant have been living in evacuation centres for more than a month.

With businesses shut, fields untended and fishing abandoned many have lost their livelihoods as well as their homes, our correspondent says.

There have been protests outside the headquarters of the plant’s operator, with some protesters travelling long distances to make their feelings known.

Announcing the compensation, Tepco President Masataka Shimizu offered “heartfelt apologies” to residents hit by events at the plant. He said the company would cut costs to finance the payments.

“We want to streamline operations with no exceptions in what we consider,” he said. “We are obviously thinking about pay cuts for our board and managers.”

Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato said more was needed.

“This is just a beginning. The accident has not ended. We will continue to ask the government and Tepco to fully compensate evacuees,” he said.

Search continues

Work to stabilise the nuclear plant is continuing. Engineers are pumping water into three reactors to cool fuel rods after cooling systems were knocked out by the quake and tsunami.

They have discharged waste water with low levels of radioactivity into the sea to make room to store more highly contaminated waste water on site.

Water needs to be removed from the basements of reactors 1, 2, and 3 before vital work on the cooling systems can begin.

On Thursday Tepco said that water levels in the basement of reactor 2 were continuing to rise, even as some was being pumped to storage.

Meanwhile, Japanese police are continuing their search for victims of the 11 March disasters within a 10km zone around the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant.

Up to 1,000 bodies are thought to be in the area, but their retrieval has been delayed because of radiation fears.

The earthquake and tsunami left 13,538 people dead and another 14,589 are missing. More than 150,000 have been made homeless.

Crimes were committed over thirty years ago.

Four former soldiers and police officers were also convicted.

General Bignone has been already serving a 25-year sentence for other crimes.

The current trial – the last in a series of processes associated with the military junta in Argentina, where some thirty thousand people were killed or disappeared.

The operator of Japanese nuclear power plant “Fukushima-1″ will pay compensation to the families who had to leave their homes due to a series of accidents at the station.

Company Tepco will pay each family, that was affected by the state of emergency at “Fukushima-1″, an amount equivalent to 12 thousand dollars.

The amount of compensation to single citizens will be the equivalent of nine thousand dollars.

The order to pay compensation in the shortest time was given on April 15 by the Ministry of Commerce of Japan.

According to AFP, about 48,000 families lived in the 30-mile evacuation zone around “Fukushima-1″.

Accidents at the nuclear power plant “Fukushima-1″ began on March 12.

They were caused by a powerful earthquake, occurred the day before, which triggered the tsunami.

Explosions and fires at power stations have led to a partial meltdown of fuel in some reactors, and were accompanied by massive emissions of pollutants.

On April 14, the Agency for Nuclear Safety in Japan stated that the content of radioactive materials in water samples in the area of ​​power blocks exceeds the normal level 100 of thousand times.

Earlier, the accident at “Fukushima-1″ got the highest possible rating by the international scale of INES.

Arab Revolution led to the fact, that the south of the EU is literally choking on African migrants.

By some estimates, the coast of Italy is stormed by 90,000 refugees from Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.

A small Italian island of Lampedusa, which is now surrounded by a whole flotilla of boats of refugees, took the brunt.

Authorities permit to go ashore only to those who agree to leave for other European countries.

But from there, they are again returned to Italy, because the Africans do not have permission to stay in the EU.

As a result, thousands of Africans are expecting the solutions to their problems on boats in the sea. Food and medicines are delivered there for them.

During the previous two weeks, the first boats from Libya, which is left because of the civil war, began to arrive.

It is difficult to deport these guys – EU laws do not allow, because there is a war in Libya.

“The great migration of peoples” has already caused a big scandal in the EU: Italy’s Interior Minister after the discussion on illegal immigration from North Africa, having received no support from EU partners, said it made sense to consider whether Italy should remain in the EU.

“The European Union got in North Africa on one side for humanitarian purposes and bombed Qaddafi, who oppressed his own people.

Italy turned out to be a hostage of this operation, which is located between Europe and North Africa, and Europe is not trying to help Italy – told European political scientist Alexander Rahr to the “Today”.

- I can not exclude that there will be borders within the EU. A year ago, Euro was considered absolutely stable currency, but now there is talk that maybe there is a need to introduce national currency”.

Egypt appealed the U.S. to write off the national debt in order to support the new government in creating new jobs for young people and the resumption of economic growth.

As stated by the Minister of Planning and International Cooperation of Arab Republic, Faiz Abu el-Naga, it is about 3.6 billion dollars.

“We ask our American friends to forgive us the debt”,  – she said, speaking in the Chamber of Commerce in Washington.

At the end of March this year, the representatives of Egypt’s Supreme Military Council said that the parliamentary elections in the country are scheduled for September 2011.

Recall, February 11, Mubarak, in power since 1981, resigned as the Head of Egypt. His resignation was preceded by anti-government demonstrations.

The Supreme War Council decided to dissolve Egyptian Parliament and suspend the constitution.

The Council plans to continue in power for six months – until the deadline for new presidential and parliamentary elections.
