Thousands of children have written to Prime Minister Naoto Kan, asking him to "reflect on the meaning of wealth based on an energy that can wipe out humanity in a few moments."

In a department store has ordered two hundred blankets, the best we could afford to invest the savings.
Then it's back in the saddle and has embarked on the way back. If he had not crossed a Japanese journalist no one would know her. As relief efforts after a week still is not enough, Michiko decided to go it alone. Over four hundred miles in two days, under the snow and fast, just to get back.
Now, Japanese people think of her and begin to believe that nothing is impossible: even stand up after 11 March.
