Minamisoma Mayor Sakurai holds press conference As one of the movers and shakers of the world
June 9, 2011, Tokyo, Japan - Donning a now familiar khaki fatigue jacket, Mayor Katsunobu Sakurai of Minami-Soma City tells foreign and domestic journalists what had happened in his town on March 11 and thereafter during a news conference at Tokyo's Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan on Thursday, June 9, 2011.
In an 11-minute video posted on YouTube two weeks after his town was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami and the ensuing crisis at the stricken nuclear power plant nearby, Mayor Sakura lashed out at Japanese government that has ignored his plea for help and left thousands of dwellers stuck in a nuclear no-go zone. The video appearance has earned the angry mayor a place in Time magazine's list of 100 most influential people. (Photo by AFLO) [3609] -mis-
