Upcoming TBLI EVENTS

This week’s featured event:

TBLI HERO:

Giulio Franzinetti is an unsung hero and one of the most generous, authentic people I have ever met. When it is 2:30 in the morning and you are in serious trouble, the first person that comes to mind is Giulio. He rarely looks for the spotlight and he seems too cynical to care, but that is not his true self. While everyone is trying to get attention through ribbon cutting to pump up their ego, Giulio is the guy who tries to create an innovative financial solution to struggling small farmers, without any thought of self. Brilliant, funny, kind, generous and most of all a real mensch.

Fukushima: Japan to start dumping contaminated water into sea

Japan has announced it will release more than 1m tonnes of contaminated water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea, a decision that has angered neighbouring countries, including China, and local fishers.

Official confirmation of the move, which came more than a decade after the nuclear disaster, will deal a further blow to the fishing industry in Fukushima, which has opposed the measure for years.
