The world's attention has been on the tragedy in Japan as radiation levels increase, nuclear reactors burn and foreign governments tell their citizens to leave.
The 成人快手 livepage has the latest updates and here's an interactive map of the quake damage.
But while Japan tries to cool its nuclear reactors, events have been escalating in Bahrain, Libya and Yemen.
In Manama today, security forces used tanks, helicopters and jeeps to clear protesters from Pearl Roundabout, two days after the king of Bahrain brought in troops from Saudi Arabia. Doctors have told the 成人快手 that many people are injured and but that they can't get medical attention. You can get live updates on the crackdown here.

Roji in San Francisco emailed: It seems uncanny the international body responsible for nuclear regulation is sitting by and not being proactive in this crisis. Granted, the Japanese government is equally at fault letting Tokyo Electric, a utility company to manage this crisis on their own.
