Japan, Bahrain, Libya: the latest stories

| Wednesday, 3 March 2011 | 17:06 - 19:00 GMT

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 大象传媒 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 大象传媒 that many people are injured and but that they can't get medical attention. You can get live updates on the crackdown here.
