BILLIONS OF YEN found after March’s devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan have been handed in to the police, Japan Today reports.
The cash was recovered from abandoned safes, wallets and handbags in the areas worst affected by the twin disasters. Japan’s National Police Agency says that 3.7 billion yen (€33.6 million) was handed in by members of the public between 11 March and 10 July. Just 15 per cent of the recovered funds have yet to be returned to the rightful owners.
Thousands of people are still unable to return to the homes they evacuated in March after the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami caused serious damage to the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, sparking a nuclear crisis.
Part of the plant suffered a meltdown after the tsunami knocked off the cooling system’s power supply and its operators TEPCO are still working to bring the facility to a complete ‘cold’ shutdown. TEPCO recently announced company losses of €5.16 bn for the three months between April and June 2011.
The UN’s nuclear watchdog IAEA visited Japan in May for a fact-finding mission investigating how the country tackled the nuclear emergency, concluding that Japanese authorities had underestimated the risk a major tsunami posed to the coastal plant. In its report, the IAEA commended the authorities’ response to the crisis as “exemplary”.
Japan’s government and TEPCO have defended their response to the crisis over criticism that they failed to inform people quickly enough of the unfolding situation. Commercial nuclear production resumed
Kyodo News reports that overseas contributions for the victims of the disasters continues to flow into the country. Around 23,000 people were killed or are still missing after the 11 March disasters.

Poor article. Doesn’t really tell you much about the phone
I’ve had 5 iPhones now and my current one’s battery is the worst I’ve ever had, cuts out at 10%, I plug it in and suddenly it’s 30% again so no more iPhones for me. Samsung Galaxy maybe..
Is not even an iPhone article man, give it a rest
Buy a oneplus two..simple
Where do u get them?
From Three?
Online website
Most websites are online.
One plusone are a brilliant smartphone brand but steer clear of them, they have no support here in Ireland, I bought one on eBay from a guy in France for 200 euro, alas it won’t download apps and anywhere I’ve taken it for a repair won’t touch it.
Outstanding stuff Pauliebhoy
Oneplus 3 just about to be launched. Hold off for that one. ;)
What, no specs.
Think I’ll stick with my 6s+ lasts 3 days and never once asked me to stop using it to conserve battery power
No thanks
Huawei is love, Huawei is life
Quite happy with my Storm.
Brilliant phones cheap and do everything the more expensive brands do.
Memory card slot?
Up to 128gb. It’s an unbelievable phone. Battery lasts a day and I’m very hard on a phone. It’s never lagged in the 3 months I’ve had it. I got it on 3 the day it was released. My other half has an S7 and it’s hard to justify spending over €200 more on a smaller screen and no better performance.
TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME…
I have a DOOGEE T6 and the battery lasts me a week on one charge. Great Phone.
have your say
