It'sMe: China would never place such exploding toys into kids hands. They might explode the other way.

This new fighter jet will be absolutely vital against attacks from NK with MiG-29 (developed at the end of the 70's in the USSR) as well as the MiG-23 and -21, and the Su-28 all made in the 50's and 60's. It is a pity it will take so long to get here otherwise Japan could have easily destroyed those 2 missiles that were fired into the Sea of Japan yesterday, saving loads of fish. I just can't understand why our Sea Shepherd friends are not stopping the NK from killing all those innocent fish.

That would be a good step into peace. If we had only one religion, then there wouldn't be any wars.

Wise choice there from Japan. Make friends not enemies.

This was bound to happen one day, it is just wrong riding across a zebra crossing on a bicycle. You should get off it and push it across. The dead angle at crossings is to be taken more seriously. Unless strict laws about it will be enforced, I am afraid that this kind of accident will happen again and again. I personally would never put my kids on a bicycle in the first place. RIP little ones.

With all due respect but performing in a bikini when you are pregnant, I find that a bit over the top.

I am sure that North Korea would put stability first at a time of crisis amid state mourning over the death of its “Dear Leader.” They would know that they have nothing to win by risking such an attack because of the South Korea-U.S. security alliance. There is the China factor, too. Therefore waging a war appears not to be an option at the moment.

I wonder if his son will be accepted as the New Leader by the population and I hope that he will change things there.

Homeless people often lost the will or courage to engage in society. This is a good step to bring them back into it. I find it to be a great idea besides no tourists will know that they are homeless unless it is advertised which I would in turn find cruel to them, let's hope not.. Interacting with tourists is great too because tourists are happy people who appreciate getting help in an unknown territory and for the homelss this is also known unknown territory which will certainly boost their confidence.

One more victim to that list. He murdered a woman in his apartment before doing the rest. A real lunatic, good that he is dead. RIP to all the innocent. Liege is already in bad state and only a small town, they really didn't deserve such atrocities.

@Jamie in Japan
You better trash all foods and drinks you have that are labeled "light" and "zero." Read the labels on everything, so you can filter out all artificial sweeteners from your products, including aspartame, sucralose, sorbitol, acesulfame-k, aspartic acid, and saccharine The symptoms of Artificial Sweeter Disease can change overnight, depending on how much chemical sweetener you consume, and which ones. Some combinations are especially toxic. Consumers can go from a migraine headache to vomiting or from vision problems to an upset stomach. Many people experience central nervous system disorders, cramping, nervous twitches and abnormal reflexes. It is not a coincidence that a wave of fibromyalgia cases hit the American troops during the Gulf War. Studies revealed that drinking diet sodas in the 120 degree heat lead to serious health repercussions. It was cleverly chalked up under the umbrella term "Gulf War Syndrome," but the same problems are occurring for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan now

St. Nicholas aka Santa Claus was a real man from what is nowadays Turkey. I wouldn't tell my kids that Santa is coming on Xmas but that his day is celebrated on December 6th. And forget about the reindeers and the snow, there is no snow in Demre.
