Tokyo Electric Power Co. , Japan’s largest utility, suspended the restart process of its nuclear power plant in Niigata prefecture, less than a day after resuming its first reactor since the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. , Japan’s largest utility, suspended the restart process of its nuclear power plant in Niigata prefecture, less than a day after resuming its first reactor since the 2011 Fukushima disaster. Tepco, as the utility is known, said it was forced to stop the process for the No. 6 reactor at its Kashiwazaki Kariwa plant on Thursday due to an issue with an electrical part, according to a spokesperson. The unit began the restart process a little after 7 p.m. local time on Wednesday. Kashiwazaki Kariwa is the world’s biggest nuclear power plant and its restart is a turning point for Japan, which is still grappling with the fallout from the Fukushima meltdown. It took Tepco years to secure local approval to restart the facility due to safety missteps and concerns. Thursday’s issue was with a part inside the control panel used to operate and monitor the reactor’s control rods that regulate the nuclear chain reaction, the spokesperson said. It was not immediately clear when the process to restart the plant would continue. Tepco shares, which had closed 5% higher the day before, were trading 2% lower at 704.60 yen ($4.45) as of 12:47 p.m. local tim.

Hong Kong ministers overseeing housing and constitutional affairs will step down soon as part of a high-level reshuffle, Ming Pao reported . Secretary for Housing Winnie Ho and Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Erick Tsang will both leave their roles, according to the local newspaper, which cited unnamed sources. Ming Pao didn’t give a reason for the imminent departures, which follow November’s fire in a housing estate that killed 168 people and low turnout in subsequent legislative elections. Requests for comment to the Chief Executive’s Office and a government spokesperson weren’t immediately responded to. The blaze, which burned for days and was Hong Kong’s deadliest in decades, exposed issues in the building works industry, including alleged bid-rigging and collusion. The incident stoked a level of public anger not seen since major street protests in 2019. Lee told lawmakers this month that those found responsible “whether they are civil servants or not and regardless of their levels” will be held liable. Shortly after the fire, Legislative Councils elections took place in a subdued atmosphere. The “patriots only” polls drew a turnout of 31.9% of eligible voters, the second-lowest on record. Just over a year ago, Lee sacked his ministers for tourism and transport. The dismissals came as Hong Kong struggled to revive tourism in the city in the wake of protests, pandemic border closures and the imposition of national security laws. The move also followed a much-hyped exhibition match featuring footballing legend Lionel Messi , which turned into a public relations disaster for Hong Kong when the Argentinian footballer failed to play.
Former prime minister Han Duck-soo’s conviction and unexpectedly harsh prison sentence have sent shock waves through South Korea’s establishment and cast a shadow over impeached ex-president Yoon Suk-yeol, awaiting his own verdict next month. Analysts say the ruling not only dismantles Yoon’s legal narrative that his short-lived martial law decree fell within presidential authority, but also signa...
Former prime minister Han Duck-soo’s conviction and unexpectedly harsh prison sentence have sent shock waves through South Korea’s establishment and cast a shadow over impeached ex-president Yoon Suk-yeol, awaiting his own verdict next month. Analysts say the ruling not only dismantles Yoon’s legal narrative that his short-lived martial law decree fell within presidential authority, but also signals that the courts are prepared to impose the heaviest penalties yet for what they formally define...
An adviser to China’s central bank has publicly questioned the stability of the United States’ debt – highlighting growing concerns over Washington’s fiscal trajectory and the risk of a global spillover. “I’ve heard so many people telling me that [debt] as a share of GDP [gross domestic product] has been rising and probably will continue to rise.

NIH Lab Studying Deadly Pathogens Reported Biological Incident In November: Federal Records The White Coat Waste Project - which you may remember for exposing Dr. Anthony Fauci's sick experiments on beagles in 2024 - has obtained a document revealing that the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) in Hamilton, Montana reported a biological incident in November 2025 . The National Institutes of Health’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories campus in Hamilton is flanked by boulders in front and mountains in back.(Katheryn Houghton/KFF Health News) RML, which operates BSL-2, BSL-3, and BSL-4 'full suit' laboratories notably studies viral hemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola, Marburg and Lassa virus, as well as coronaviruses , dangerous bacteria, tuberculosis, tick-borne pathogens (Rocky Mountain spotted fever, for example), West Nile virus , Prion diseases , and others. According to a November 2025 biosafety report obtained by WCWP, a 'Form 3' was reported to the Federal Select Agent Program on Nov. 13, 2025 . Form 3 is a mandatory notification form used to alert the Federal Select Agent Program of any 'theft, loss, or release' involving select agents or toxins, Infowars' Breanna Morello reports after interviewing WCWP's Justin Goodman - who called Rocky Mountain Laboratories ' one of the most dangerous biolabs in the country. ' White Coat Waste Project obtained this BSO report from RML, via Infowars Watch: 🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 A Fauci federal bio lab in Montana can’t locate a biological agent. The biological agent is either stolen, lost or was released, according to documents obtained by The White Coat Waste Project.
