Where is the world's attention ?
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 BBC 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 BBC that many people are injured and but that they can't get medical attention. You can get live updates on the crackdown here.
PraveenDabre has tweeted: "Troops have stormed into #Bahrain's Salmaniya hospital. What kind of ghoulish behaviour is this? Who attacks the injured?"
In Libya, Colonel Gadaffi says his troops will push to re-take rebel held areas.
His son Saif al-Islam claims today: "Military operations are over. Within 48 hours everything will be finished. Our forces are almost in Benghazi. Whatever the decision, it will be too late."
Some tweeters suggest it's a good time to to ratchet up the pressure in Libya and Bahrain:
Suhalevorajee says on Twitter: "Gaddafi taking the opportunity to 'bury' bad news. Shame, Arab world not taking a stronger lead on this??"
Sleathcorps tweeted: "Saudi troops entering Bahrain to crush revolt.''A good day to bury bad news'' comes to mind. Hope Gaddafi not allowed to do same."
