About 50 climb the barricades pushing up against police as the crowd chanted and cheers them on. In less than an hour, they were arrested. This has been a textbook case of civil disobedience. Everybody has gone according to the plan. They were aggressive and forceful, but peaceful. A stark contrast to the evening demonstrations on sunday which were much more tense and unpredictable. Activists blocked traffic. The scene of looting and rioting a year ago, refusing Police Orders to move to the sidewalk. Down the street from the stand off, shots were fired between two groups of men. Police returned fire leaving 18yearold tie ron harris in critical condition. They fired from the suspect. Reporter the u. S. Attorney general condemned the violence.

The americans want to work with the ypg, Peoples Protection units. The Kurdish Group in syria and the turks are attacking that group they dont want it to expand. The longstanding goal of preventing the kurds from preventing their own country present as challenge. For much of the past year the turks denied u. S. Access for launching air strikes in syria. They didnt object to kurdish ypg fighters going after isil inside syria. Thats when the fighters came close to crossing the Euphrates River in the east. They cut a deal with the u. S. To create an isilfree zone west of the euphrates. Its supposed remain kurd free. The turks are allowing f16s and drones to attack, in part to prevent isil fighters from moving into their country.

Now, there is a fear that the turks may use what they consideo go after kurdish fighters inside syria and jeopardize the mission. U. S. Officials say that fear is unfounded.

Suddenly in the wake of fukushima, it produced some 30 of japans electricity. Power costs went up, fossil fuels had to be brought in. It wont be an easy process. The regulations for safety have been toughened. They are taking a long time, reactor by reactor to be approved. Even when approved, we have seen legal cases brought which prohibited restarts. It represents the first step in a difficult battle especially given the remaining very strong Public Opinion against these restarts. Some 60 of people in japan, according to most polls, believe it is wrong to restart these reactors in light of what happened in fukushima. At the sharpened are the protesters at the sendai Nuclear Power plant where the guarantees that the authority provided saying there wont be a repeat of fukushima, they cant be believed and the evacuation procedures required there, the responsibility for those procedures remaybes vague. So the opposition remains, but this does obviously present the first step in shinzo abes plan to get Nuclear Power back online. In colorado millions of liters of waste spilled into local streams.
