WARNING: Read this entire message before posting in this thread. If you don't and violate the rules in this thread you will lose posting access to Geopolitics on a permanent basis.

This thread is for EXCLUSIVE posting of NEWS LINKS that are of KNOWN QUALITY and are DURABLE. Examples are links to the Al Jazeera live webcast, Twitter hashtags for specific areas and similar items.

This thread is NOT for the posting of links to specific STORIES. Those go in the specific threads for each nation. If there is no pinned thread for a nation, feel free to start a new topic.

No commentary of any sort is permitted in this thread, nor is the inclusion of any sort of "Tinfoil" or "Conspiratorial" site. Any post that I have to remove in this thread will result in the poster being immediately and permanently barred from posting in Geopolitics in the future. Duplicates are likewise unwelcome - READ BEFORE YOU POST.

This is an attempt to compile a place for geopolitical news sources and links that are not otherwise easily found. For example, the Al Jazeera link was posted into the Egypt thread but quickly got buried, although it is of general use and is a high-quality news source.

Thank you.

Rawstory link to al-jazeera live feed. I find it less annoying than AJ's homepage because it doesn't have an extra realplayer embedded in the page.

It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.
If you trade based on what other people say, you will lose money. Especially what I say. I won't be held responsible. Festina lente.

I find TweetGrid invaluable for tracking twitter when major news is breaking: http://tweetgrid.com/

Especially when multiple stories are unfolding.

It's easy to search Google for "breaking" video now, by selecting your search parameters, then selecting only those posted within the last hour (and they'll sort by newest first); you can then just refresh the page and new ones will appear. For example, here's Japan Quake: http://www.google.com/search?q=japan+qua....

NHK feeds are dropping like flies. Here's one that shouldn't go away since it's from NHK itself.
