Selena Gomez the 26-year-old
singer finds social media "unhealthy". She used to spend much of her
time engaging with her fans on social media, but has now said she's limited the
time she spends on apps such as Twitter and Instagram, because they began to make
her feel "depressed". She said during an appearance on 'Live! With
Kelly and Ryan': "I have it on someone else's phone. And when I feel like
I want to share something with my fans or just mess around with it, I do it
then."The star's comments come after she said it was
"impossible" to make social media a safe place whilst speaking at a
press conference at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.Speaking about her decision
to stop replying to comments, the 'Wolves' hitmaker said: "I used to a
lot, but I think it's just become really unhealthy, I think, personally, for
young people, including myself, to spend all of their time fixating on all
these comments and letting this stuff in. It was affecting me. It would make me
depressed. It would make me feel not good about myself and look at my body
differently and all kinds of stuff."

Japan plans carbon emission cuts, more nuclear energy
Land of the rising sun nation Japan is calling for
further efforts to cut carbon emissions by promoting renewables but also
nuclear energy despite the 2011 Fukushima reactors
meltdowns.The energy white paper, adopted by the Cabinet Friday, says Japan
faces an “urgent task” of reducing carbon emissions coming from utilities that
have relied heavily on fossil fuels to make up for shortages of cleaner nuclear
energy. The call comes as the Fukushima nuclear reactors are slowly being
restarted amid lingering anti-nuclear sentiments since the 2011
crisis.Japan wants further development of renewable energy and has set a 22% to 24% target while maintaining nuclear
energy at around the same level. It also pledges to reduce carbon emissions by 26% from 2013 levels by 2030.
So far it has so far achieved a 7% reduction.While
the renewables account for 16% of Japan’s energy supply,
nuclear energy remained at just 3% in 2017,
compared to the target of 20% to 22%,
according to the paper. Coal and natural gas accounted for 74%.Before
the 2011 quake and tsunami that destroyed the Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear plant’s cooling systems and sent three of its reactors into
meltdowns, nuclear energy made up about one-third of Japan’s energy
supply.Despite the government’s nuclear energy ambitions, reactor restarts are
coming slowly as nuclear regulators spend more time on inspections under
stricter post-Fukushima standards, while utility companies have opted to scrap
aged reactors instead of investing in additional safety measures.The slow
reactor resumptions have added to Japan’s large plutonium stockpile problem
that has become an issue of international concern. Japan, which is stuck with 47 tons of plutonium stockpile from spent fuel, has resorted to
burning it in conventional reactors to reduce the amount after the country’s
fuel recycling program has stalled.But the amount is not decreasing, and
experts are now calling for more drastic steps to get rid of it amid criticism
that Japan’s plutonium makes Tokyo’s calls for nuclear non-proliferation less
credible. About 37 tons of spent fuel is kept in France
and Britain where it has been reprocessed since Japan
lacks the capability to do it at home.
