One of the mysteries were revealed when the Germans discovered a hidden nuclear base which even the east Germans government didn't know. In fact, in 1959, nuclear missiles were stationed and targeted at Western Europe. Murals of soviet soldiers remained, leaving a sense of a fallen empire.
I am glad that the war has ended and there would be no more use of the nuclear base anymore. I hope that this base remains in the forest hidden forever. However, mankind's aggressive nature would in the end create more of nuclear weapons and continue to destroy.
Paraguayan orchestra using instruments made from rubbish
In a Paraguayan slum, the people have no money to buy instruments, they instead used the rubbish around them to make their own instruments. Instruments constructed entirely out of rubbish from their homes, constructed on top of a land fill.Their conductor thinks music is a good way to instill values in a place involved in drugs, child labor etc.
I also agree with his way of thinking and admire the orchestra for having the determination to play music despite monetary difficulties. They are not deterred from any thing and still strives for their interest in music.
Fears raised over Japan's reliance on nuclear energy
A month after the earthquake, Japan is still trying to stabilize the nuclear power plant at Fukushima. To access people's attitudes towards nuclear energy, BBC visited the place of Japan's first nuclear reactor, Tokaimura. Many people are worried about the radiation and thinks that Japan should not continue to rely on nuclear energy. One 60 year old woman, who lived in Tokaimura, who thinks that the government should know that Japan's prone to earthquake and should have thought of that before building nuclear plants.
I agree with the people of Tokaimura that Japan should stop relying on nuclear energy and turn to other forms of energy that is less harmful to the people's health.

Japan: Whaling is justifiable research
The new Japan government has declared that whaling is for research purposes, and is therefore, "justifiable". Whaling is largely opposed by many environmental groups.
Whales are endangered animals, yet humans still insisting on whaling for their own greed. The new Japan government just wanted to gain support from the people, Japanese who do not want to give up on the culture of whaling. Whales are worth a lot of money, their oil can be used for many things. Whalers would profit from whaling. It will be the greed of humans that will drive whales to extinction just like other extinct animals, we just never learn from history.
Tunisia's Ben Ali's riches go on sale
Luxury goods that belonged to the ousted Tunisian leader Ben Ali such as luxurious cars, Lamborghini and a handmade Mercedes. Around 40 top-of-the-range cars are being sold off, as well as gold and diamond jewellery and furnishings.
It is no wonder that the people decided to uprise. The place of the first uprising is known as the Arab Spring, however, they still do not fare any better. There is such a huge difference in the ways of living between the high and low social classes. The corrupted Tunisian leader lived in luxury while his people, who counted on him, lived in poverty and suffering. It is such huge difference, comparable to heaven and earth.
