economic and political impact of Japan earthquake
1450: BBC's Mark Gregory has been looking at the economic impact of the quake. Early estimates have put the cost at £112bn ($180bn), equal to 3% of national output. "That's a large burden for a nation that even before last week's disaster had the highest public debt - 200% of GDP - of any advanced economy," he says.
##eqecat earlier said $100B
1443: Andrew Coad, from Tokyo, writes: "For German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle to describe the nuclear events in Japan as an "apocalypse" is irresponsible in the extreme. At this point in time there has been no confirmed reports of any leakage of core material into the environment. So far it has been contained."
## Westerwelle desperately searching for something where he can get attention
## and make points. He's not popular ATM
1436: The IAEA says Monday's blast at Fukushima may have affected the integrity of the containment vessel - there are fears of more serious radioactive leaks if happen.
## Tepco should know, but won't tell us
