Great move by the government of Peru. Several European governments should follow suit and have a war on criminals and gangs.

Must really hurt the anti China crowd who accuse China of stealing technology.

Sorry guys, China is Future of motoring, get used to it. Build Your Dreams.

Who cares? Its a video game where even when you win, you are a loser.

With as much respect as I can muster, you clearly have no idea what hiking off trail would entail on Fuji. And even less idea of the consequences if lots of people were to do it.

As I said, 3 times off trail. Third time someone on a tracked vehicle came across to tell us to move to the trail. We apologized and started heading towards the stream of plodders on the trail but then went on our way when the "authority" figure took off.

As others have pointed out. Fuji San, is not that high, not that steep and not a difficult hike for a fit person.

Clippity..

Have you been? It really doesn't sound like it.

Yes, like a fool 3 times

Firstly, you can't walk off trail, it isn't permitted, and with very good reason.

Like speeding is also not permitted?

And what do you think happens if you climb up a rocky 'slag heap'? It just crumbles, collapses and endangers everyone below.

No it doesn't, but hard on your boots.

Plus it is utterly exhausting.

For you maybe. For others just a 4.5 km hard hike.

When will the holocaust sympathy for the Jews end? Surely that time must be soon.

Looks like all of trump’s peace and ceasefires unraveled within a week.

Trump wouldn't dare to take on the Israel lobby in the US.

I hope they don't but who could blame Hamas for executing any remaining hostages after this mass murder in Gaza?

It's natural to be jealous of superior military powers.

The UK is a minnow in the sea of military powers. The entire Armed forces could not fill a second division soccer stadium. The total stock of UK 155mm artillery shells is about the same as Russia fires in 3 DAYS. In 2023 the Russians called up 290,000 reservists. That is more than the combined armed forces of the UK, France and Italy. UK forces had trouble holding Basra against Iraqi Shia militia, How long would they last against Russia? Silly question as it is never going to happen. Just Starmer talking out of his.....

Not following a trail will lead to more deaths. Not worth trying to save just ¥4,000.

Have you ever been to Mt. Fuji. Its not Everest, just a big version of a South Wales slag heap. From the 5th station it is a 4.5 km uphill walk. Avoiding the trails also avoids the lines of old people and unfit tourists.

Wow.... Three people want a pervert, peeping Tom to keep his job with 6-11 year old kids. And we wonder why the world is like it is?

I would be checking his home PC and searching the school changing rooms and toilets for cameras.

Suguru Wakatsuki, an elementary school janitor...

Please tell me he is now an ex elementary school janitor. I wonder what attracted him to working in an elementary school in the first place.

But what if you don't use a trail?

Just walk into the forest and join the trail later up the hill. Also avoiding the queues. Or just avoid the trails all together.

Iran and Israel are the two Axis of Evil in the middle east.

No. The US and Israel are the axis of evil in the Middle East. The source of all wars and conflicts for the past 40 years or so.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is not of great importance to Russia. It has no shortage of power generation. It is however, essential to the needs of Kiev. I can see Russia handing this back in exchange for some of the towns in the east not yet taken.

St. Patrick was not Irish?

You'll be telling us next that Guinness isn't Irish either. It is but the founder Arthur Guinness was a pro British rule protestant. Remember that next St. Patrick's day when drinking your green pints.

That the cult leader of a religion had mental health issues is rather obvious. The followers probably more so

I refuse to pay ¥500 for a cabbage. You can buy a pack of six exceedingly good cakes for that price.

One in four sex crimes in the UK is committed by an immigrant. Yet after conviction most are allowed to stay.

Whose rights are important?

I agree with you. A ceasefire with Russia pulling out all of its troops from Ukraine's lands, and with full security guarantees by allowing NATO membership for Ukraine. In return, Russia gets the privilege of not having to pay for any damage they caused to Ukraine's lands and will get to escape being prosecuted for war crimes. Seems like a fair deal if you ask me.

Tell me you are being sarcastic. If you have followed any news from the Ukraine in the last 2 years, even the most biased Kiev propaganda, you would know this is beyond a pipe dream.

I've been saying since the failed spring offensive that the war was over. The Dombas and south are lost. Crimea was always Russian and would remain so. The Ukrainians would get to keep Odesa as Black Sea port and that EVERY death from this point would be a waste. Sadly for some Russians and many more Ukrainians I was correct.

As every country should do the same.

Europe and the UK should also be removing ILLEGAL immigrants.

Japan "eyes deploying"? Really?

Japan has been ordered to deploy long range missiles by the US.

Fixed it.

Italy are now a fully competitive six nation team. They were unlucky today.

Shirley Bassey has a special coin minted for her? I like Shirley Bassey, but it rather devalues the honour. She had along and successful career, but hardly changed the world.

What is it about Shirley Bassey that got the award? Singing Bond theme songs? Her charity work? Being black?

I'm sure it was one of these.

As Dr. Martin Luther King said so eloquently, "judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin".

Dr. King was correct about skin color. That is irrelevant, it is lifestyle, beliefs and cultural differences that cause problems. Some more than others therefore, Japan needs to choose wisely.

Those prices are as over inflated as Bitcoins. For fans not investors.

If Japan needs immigrants, it should be very careful choosing which people it welcomes. Not have an open free for all. Some countries and cultures may prove to be a better fit than others. Choose wisely to reduce future problems.

Tax exemption for religions should be abolished. Most are run as businesses or pyramid marketing schemes that need to recruit new members to fill the coffers.

None of this would have happened without Tetsuya Yamagami shooting ex PM Abe. The Moonie cult would still be cozying up to politicians, they would still be exploiting their cult members. Obviously not condoning murder but important not to forget the reason why this is news today.

I used the chuo line "green car" two weeks ago while it was still on free trial. There are terminals on every seat to "tap" your Pasmo or Suica card so you don't have to pay before boarding and not get a seat.
