Crimea Crisis — Turkey — Missing Malaysian Airplane — Cyprus One Year Later — Fukushima Three Years Later — Internet Freedom — MIT Technology Review

This week we start with some unavoidable big story updates, as both the Ukraine and Russia talk tough in the lead up to Sunday's Crimea referendum. In Turkey there have been confrontations in several cities between police and protestors following the funeral of a teenager mortally injured in last year's clashes. Still no information on what happened to the missing Malaysian Air flight to Beijing. An analysis of Cyprus one year since the bank bailout. Japan plans to turn on their nuclear reactors again. And finally an op-ed from some internet heavyweights about combatting censorship worldwide. Our NEWZ Source this week: the MIT Techonology Review.
