Prosecutors blamed Gutierrez-Reed for unwittingly bringing live ammunition onto the set of “Rust,”

If Baldwin has the authority and responsibility, then he's liable for allowing live bullets to be brought and used on work locations, unless the live bullets were needed for work

Seems far from over but not too long ago aids were being planned for rebuild and recovery.

Regarding seafood exports Japan should encourage newspapers to highlight the increased exports to friendly countries who believe Japan's seafood is safe.

Because of the drop in prices owing to glut in supply due to china's sanctions and/or the current currency situation, demands from those nations should have skyrocketed.

If more people are aware then maybe that could drive demand even more and maybe help sway china of the safety of Japan's seafood.

Good to see this moving along. I hope this release goes as smoothly as all the others.

> China has kept an import ban in place on all seafood products from Japan in response to the discharges.

> A ban that is 100% politics, 0% science. As discussed many times.

> Can't claim international standards anymore.

> Set by itself lol

> Did you (willfully) miss the "and the government" part?

> Do you not consider the fact that the IAEA is monitoring the entire process to be salient in terms of the international community?

> On second thoughts, don't bother answering. We already know your intent here.

Hahaha you're down to making things up.

The iaea is not monitoring the entire process lol.

Can't claim international standards anymore.

> Besides there not being any binding "international standards": How do you figure they can't? What changed?

So you're saying they can still? Why don't they claim anymore that the process is up to international standards?

Hahahaha

Not just "a bid by Ainu Indigenous people to reclaim rights over river fishing for salmon,"?

> Salmon fishin is not denied.. what is denied is the claim of "ownership" right of a river(s) to fish salmon

Ownership?

Before releasing water, TEPCO ensures the radioactivity levels meet the standards set by itself and the government

Can't claim international standards anymore.

Set by itself lol

Please kindly explain the reasons the USA has 11 aircraft carriers, the UK has 2, France has at least has one and India might finally have 1 that can sail out beyond the visual range of land.

The US has military bases in Japan. No explanation needed. Over 750 military bases around the world. Why do you need an explanation? You can't see the other perspective? You can only see from one side? It's not a challenge really.

The US has has that strategically positioned to maintain peace and for defense purposes

Hahahaha

Dunno about Chinese media but my Japanese friends feel this is one issue they wish Japan stood differently on. They all love Taiwan and they feel Japan let Taiwan down in order to keep Chinese business.

Tell your Japanese friends to, like everyone here in JT does, boycott china and its products

China of course cannot trust Japan because Japan cannot make independent decisions regarding the 2 countries' relationship

Abandoning your nation is worse than treason.

How could mere abandonment be worse than treason?

*aiming to insulate American producers from a flood of cheap import direct from china *

the writer forgot to add

Biden suggests he may block Nippon Steel deal,

Title of article suggests he may actually mean it

Japan should be very thankful for the timely support

The United States alone can no longer supply all democracies

Maybe they can if they supply only democracies

If Baldwin has authority then he is responsible if he knew the staff were using live rounds on location.

He should have disallowed presence and use of live bullets on the workplace.

The police also do the same to Japanese as some posters above say.

Is this true?

He and his two fellow-plaintiffs are suing the national government and police, as well as the prefectural police of Tokyo and Aichi prefectures.

If the Tokyo and aichi police are doing deliberate racial profiling there would have been far more plaintiffs or foreigners who have been profiled. Unless there're only 3 foreigners in those areas.

Well , maybe there would be more who will consult the lawyer after this , let's see

stopped by police about 17 times during his 10 years living in Japan,

That's 16 more than my experience but I'm still not sure if that's really a lot in 10 years.

There are individuals that arouse suspicion more than others but if many of them experience the same then it might indeed be racial profiling.

Zain said he has been treated like a criminal,

Really?

The U.S., Britain and Jordan — a key American ally in the region — have all said their air forces helped intercept the Iranian missiles and drones. Halevia said France and “other partners” were involved, and he noted that “Iran’s attack has created new opportunities for cooperation in the Middle East.”

Many have helped to minimize the Iran attack, otherwise strong response and escalation would have been a certainty.

Still seems very likely of course

No, it happened to me with a huge resort in Okinawa. The fake requenst indeed contained the original booking reference, but the requested amount was unrealistically high

You were lucky then you got alerted. Requested amount should have been low to entice you to pay

Better scrap the fda altogether if they are approving drugs that are not saving lives lol

Lol using not fully approved drugs instead of using approved drugs saves lives? Hahaha

There were no US bases the previous administration and instead of attacking, China poured aid and investments into the country.

Defend the Philippines?

If the Philippines is attacked it would be because of the US and its bases lol

The new study found that between 2013 and 2017, there were 46 cancer drugs granted accelerated approval. Of those, 63% were converted to regular approval even though only 43% demonstrated a clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.

Only 43% demonstrated clinical benefit?

This program should be scrapped if that's the case.

This obviously leads to more deaths compared to when all cancer sufferers use approved drugs.

Why allow drug companies to profit at the cost of people's lives when there are already a lot of approved drugs?

“No one should violate China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests...," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Thursday.

> And literally no-one is. It is China that is violating everyone else's.

> The UNCLOS ruling was crystal clear: China is wrong; the Philippines is right.

What was the unclos ruling?
