I'm a little puzzled as to why a statue of an A-bomb victim is in a Seattle park. Surely a park in Hiroshima or Nagasaki would be the most appropriate place for it.

These "victims" had every opportunity to report the alleged offence to the police. Seems to me that they now want monetary compensation. I'm sure that Japan's hostage taking legal system will try to oblige.

Most Japanese heavy industries have been built on protection. It is good to see both President Biden and Mr.Trump have indicated a clamp down on this. Japan for many years has abused USA free trade. I think that the USA should have listened more carefully to Senator Gephart in the 1980's with regards to Japan.

The emperor visited Windsor Castle in a London suburb later in the day and laid flowers at the tombs of Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip.
Windsor is not a suburb of the Greater London area. Not a major issue though.
