1. Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in
2011. Natural disasters like the Japan earthquake and tsunami, the Thai floods and Hurricane Irene made 2011 the most-expensive year on record for the world economy. Recently-formed Hurricane Irene is seen August 22, 2011 over the coastal waters of Venezuela The earthquake in Japan on March 11 and the ensuing tsunami caused insured losses of $35 billion, while the Feb. 22 temblor in New Zealand cost $12 billion. The floods in Thailand are estimated to cost between $8 billion and $11 billion The total death toll from the disaster could rise much higher as the National Police Agency said more than 17,400 people are still missing. Those tallies may overlap, but police from one of the hardest-hit prefectures, Miyagi, estimate that the deaths will top 15,000 in that region alone. Japan has been grappling with an avalanche of miseries that began with the March 11 quake, which ravaged the northeastern coast and damaged the critical cooling system at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, located 140 miles (220 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo. |

4. Tunisia
Revolution
On December 17, 2010, the Tunisian police confiscated the wares of Mohamed Bouazizi, a 27-year-old street vendor. He was harassed and humiliated by a municipal official and her aides. None of these creatures had an iota of clue that this seemingly insignificant action, extremely common in the developing world, would change the fate of not just their country but send winds of change across the entire Arab world. The Arab Spring, as it has been christened by the western press, would dominate world headlines in 2011. Bouazizi set himself on fire in protest. His act became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution and the wider Arab Spring, inciting demonstrations and riots throughout Tunisia in protest of social and political issues in the country. The public's anger and violence intensified following Bouazizi's death, leading then-President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to step down on January 14, 2011. Called the most entrenched of all Arab dictators, Ben Ali's 23-year-old regime collapsed like a house of cards. A wave of unrest, sparked off by the "Tunisian burning man" (Bouazizi became famous across the Arab world by this name), soon spread to Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Algeria and Yemen. |

Their engagement on 20 October 2010 was announced on 16 November 2010. The build-up to the wedding and the occasion itself attracted much media attention, with the service being broadcast live around the world, and being compared and contrasted in many ways with the 1981 marriage of William's parents, Charles, Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer.

9. Greek Riots
The 2010–2011. Greek protests are an ongoing series of demonstrations and general strikes taking place across Greece. The protests, which began on 5 May 2010, were sparked by plans to cut public spending and raise taxes as austerity measures in exchange for a €110 billion bail-out, aimed at solving the 2010–2011 Greek debt crisis. Three people were killed on the 5 May protests, one of the largest in Greece since 1973. Protest activity has escalated since then, leading to widespread social unrest and anti-government sentiment. On 25 May 2011, anti-austerity protestors organized by the Direct Democracy Now! movement, known as the Indignant Citizens Movement started demonstrating in major cities across Greece. This second wave of demonstrations proved different from the years before in that they are not partisan and began through peaceful means.On 29 June 2011, violent clashes occurred between the riot police and protesters as the Greek parliament voted to accept the EU's austerity requirements. |

10.Iran's nuclear ambition
The European Union has broadened its sanctions against Iran to target 180 new individuals and organisations linked to the Islamic republic's shipping line and the Revolutionary Guards Corps, suspected of involvement in a covert nuclear weapons programme. A meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels condemned the storming of the British embassy in Tehran on Tuesday, but the sanctions announced were aimed at Iran's nuclear programme. They also agreed to consider further punitive measures focused on Iran's banking, transport and energy sectors. However, there remained stiff resistance from southern European countries to a French-backed plan for a ban on crude oil imports from Iran, notably from Greece, which buys most of its oil from Tehran. |
