He is so right and it is a great thing that SK finally has a leader who understands that they have to move on and work together. People to people relationships between SK and Japan are actually very good but, as always, it's a small, vocal group who want to move backwards. Just hope he can see out his term in office and get the two countries closer again.

Wow, maybe Fox is actually thinking about becoming a real 'news' network! More likely Fox knows that Carlson is going to cost them dearly in the other upcoming cases against Fox.

Biden can just sit back and watch Trump and DeSantis further reduce each other's lack of popularity. Neither will beat Biden even if he'll be 82.

What a loser. Can't handle losing so decides to try to blow things up. Lock him up with some explosives that he can play with and test to his heart's content.

Religion is such a convenient way to control certain groups in society that the religious 'leaders' want to control. Don't wear this, don't eat that, pray like this, give your money to us. Maybe it has worked for the past 2,000 years or so but now more and more people have access to information at the click of a button (not a 3-hour walk to a library), the number of liberated people can only increase. Iran, Saudi Arabia and other countries still trying to preserve antiquated ideas about women are clearly fighting a losing battle. Men only subjugate women because they are afraid of being outdone by women in many areas.

It's pretty obvious that retirement at 62 isn't going to be sustainable as people live longer and longer. Most of the other countries in Europe have a retirement age of 65 so time for France to catch up! Credit to Macron for knowing he has to do it while knowing that it isn't going to be popular. Sometimes you have to suck it up and face reality.

Federer helped create him and Djokovic is helping to create more like him, such as the teenagers Alcaraz and Rune. Tsitsipas, Zverev and others who are around 25 are sort of in the middle.

Let's hope that neither the insects nor the lasers gain awareness and start fighting back......

Can't imagine these machines will bring in a lot of business. Maybe for the 60-year-old who buys some for the 90-year-old parent (like the lady mentioned in the article), who remembers when it was more widely available and what it tastes like. Young people generally aren't interested in it so the market is steadily shrinking. Wouldn't be surprised if such machines get vandalized by anti-whaling supporters (especially after English articles about them start to spread).

Please elaborate on the 'duress' you referred to.

A judge with a serious lack of judgement.

Another gold medal to Dentsu in the category of All-Round Dodginess.

Judges tweeting about criminal trials on personal Twitter accounts is always going to be a bad idea.

If it looks dodgy, smells dodgy, seems dodgy, chances are it's quite dodgy.

Pretty sad. They obviously put up with each other for 60 years or more. A few more years and they'd both be dead. Agree with the dementia presumption because, if not, a murder would have happened 10 or 20 or 30 years ago.

Read the article again...

Poor Nishioka only won 2 points in the second set! Losing a set 24 points to 2 must be close to a record.....

Lock these idiots up. Wouldn't blame anyone for throwing things at them when they make so much noise at 1am. We shouldn't give guys like this any media coverage.

Misleading really. So it's 82% who either want to get married or think they definitely will. That's probably about normal for most countries these days one would think.

And this nutter got 'just 26%' of votes? Scary that someone like him could get even 1% of the votes.

Bad luck. If they were willing to pay the price they paid, they should be happy with that. Unlucky if the discount happened the following day or week but that's life. Just charge your brand new car and go for a drive.

Lovin' it.......NOT!

Vanuatu a few days ago, Indonesia today, California a couple of weeks ago, Hawai'i eruption the other day, the Ring of Fire is doing its thing.

Why the photo of Serena Williams from 2015?!

Sad that these members of dodgy religious groups get duped into donating large sums for so-called spiritual enlightenment. But, then again, are they so different from the big church groups of the world? They all need money to survive and most of it comes from their followers who are convinced by others that giving their money away will somehow help them before or after they're dead and gone. Sad all around. Better off donating to a recognized charity as at least some of the money will go to a good cause. Kishi would never have imagined his grandson would be killed because of a dodgy, anti-Communist, Korean church group that the US told Kishi he should support.

The problem is China doesn't openly share accurate data so this has to be done in order for Japan (and the world) to have a better idea of how much Covid is in China. Also, you are wrong because anyone who has visited China within the 7 days prior to arrival is required to have a test and that includes Japanese or Western visitors or otherwise. Your claims of 'persecution' are unfounded.

A great player. Toshiba is lucky to get him.

Looks like a Porsche Panamera....

Very sad that this still goes on in professional sport today. Just try to imagine how bad it is for those who aren't professional athletes.

Just wanted to put a few holes in him but didn't intend to kill him. Yeah.
