Please join the German campaign to send the existing U.S. nuclear weapons back home, and to halt production of the new B61-12 nuclear bomb, scheduled to be built in the U.S. by 2020 and deployed in five European countries - Italy, Belgium, Holland, Turkey, and Germany. We invite anti-nuclear, environmental peace and human rights activists to our peace camp July 08-to-16, 2019, at the main gate of the Büchel Air Base in Germany with emphasis on young people! The international Action Camp is part of our 20 weeks of action from March 26th to August 9th (Nagasaki memorial day). Twenty weeks represent the 20 B61 H-bombs still at Büchel AB. Our peace camp includes networking, vigils, and nonviolent civil resistance. Read more: http://www.nuclear-heritage.net/index.php/International_Action_Camp_against_nuclear_weapons -- 2.

News from the UK -- Hitachi have cancelled Wylfa in Wales, Toshiba have cancelled Moorside by Sellafield, and Mitsubishi have cancelled one in Turkey, so we feel we are winning. Only Chinese and French states want to build in UK now, and UK threatening to send aircraft carrier to South China Sea, plus Haiwei paranoia, so China might drop out soon. And EDF have to redo ALL the welds in Flamanville, which will take at least 2 years, so even Hinkley Point is in trouble. Getting Flamanville running by 2020 is a condition for the UK government loan guarantees for Hinkley. -- 4. Tokyo 2020 - The Radioactive Olympics -- In 2020, Japan is inviting athletes from around the world to take part in the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. We are worried about plans to host baseball and softball competitions in Fukushima City, just 50 km away from the ruins of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant.
