Japan to start releasing Fukushima water to sea in 2 years

13 Sept 10:59 Key points summarised by AI

Japan's government approved releasing treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea within two years, citing storage capacity limits and the decision as "most realistic" for the plant's recovery.
The water will undergo treatment to remove most radionuclides, but tritium, which is considered harmless in small amounts, cannot be removed, leading to some scientific concerns regarding its long-term impact on marine life.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
