Tsunami Reconstruction Scandal in Japan

from PRI's The World Oct 31, 2012 · host The World

As the US begins its recovery from Superstorm Sandy, Japan is gripped by a scandal over the money set aside for reconstruction from the earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of that country last year. Much of the allocated funds have been diverted into pork-barrel projects, far away from the disaster zone. Anchor Lisa Mullins gets the details from Hiroko Tabuchi of The New York Times.
