Considering that most people in the world don't follow baseball, I doubt most tourists care or even know about that ball in the first place.

So much for the boycott by redditors when the company decided to go public, looks like their efforts had the opposite effect.

No justice for the murdered family though as the true perpetrator has gotten away with it.

Those in the police and prosecution who planted the evidence and forced a confession may well have shuffled off this mortal coil themselves so can't be tried for destroying a man's life. Not that I expect the justice system in Japan to do that even if any are alive.

He is such an exciting talent, has already outscored his fellow fellow Ozeki, Hōshōryū and Kotozakura with Emperor Cup wins. They both had a terrible September tournament and will need to up their game in November.

I hope he has the right support in place as the pressure will now be on him to make the next step up to the top tier before Terunofuji retires. Being a home grown talent, I hope they don't push him too fast, too soon.

Sounds like a management issue if they don't have sufficient backups in place from the 25-player squad they are allowed to have.

FIFA in common sense shocker, that should have been the headline.

Moscow will not oppose as long as it remains some extraterritorial Warsaw 'protectorate'.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to find a mutually acceptable accommodation with them, especially when it is over something so ingrained on the national psyche.

@JJE - You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. My wife is Polish and I know from my many visits there and speaking to the locals, they will never accept anything to do with Russia again. They are currently spending billions to remove as much trace of Russia from their towns & cities and replacing with more modern and Polish designed buildings and sculptures.

I called it, it was Spain's to lose and they could've lost it but showed why they were the team to beat all competition. England were just a wet fart and really shouldn't have got as far as they did.

Euros 2024 is Spain's to lose, only the most monumental of f**k-ups will allow England to walk away with the trophy.

Majority of England fans I know fully expect to be knocked out in the Semi's and even if they somehow fluke it into the Finals, Spain will be sure to finish the job. Only the most die-hard (and delusional) England fans expect to win the competition.

Maclaren should have grabbed the top two spots but utterly messed up Piastri's mid-race stop by not stacking with Norris like Mercedes did with Hamilton/Russell. Then chose the wrong tyres for Norris for the final stop when he really should have gone on the mediums. It was already known the slicks weren't the best pick so it was a strange decision by the team.

Still, gotta hand to it Verstappen and the speed he got out of those hard tyres in the last dozen or so laps.

Beautiful swan song for Hamilton and Mercedes, if he only gets the one race win this year at least he got it at the 'home' race that most drivers always like to win in their career.

The author of this article needs to see the replay which clearly shows 'stappen moving to the left which causes the collision. 'stappen crashes into Norris, pure and simple. 10-second penalty was a joke and he needs positions docked at the next race (Silverstone?)

The cost is too high, to send it moonward or beyond would require a massive rocket and lots of fuel to fight the Earth's gravity. SpaceX have just given up trying to build a rocket that can get to the moon after spending about 3-billion of tax payers dollars. Far cheaper for a smaller rocket which just needs to nudge it downwards at a controlled descent.

An emperor and empress rank higher than a king and queen.

Uh-huh, what 'Empire' has Japan actually had when compared to the Empire that was ruled over by the King's & Queen's of Britain?

maybe need do cleaning of road at least?

Next you'll be asking that all horses need to be potty trained and only go behind trees.

I'm failing to see just how that is going to stop anyone though. I'm tall enough to just reach my camera over the top of that barrier and still get the shot I want.

I can't say I was overly impressed with Fury Road outside some of the stunts so will probably wait for Furiosa to arrive on a streaming platform.

How can Japan companies design earthquake proof buildings yet are utterly incompetent in making them toddler proof?

I much prefer to sit through another Ghostbusters movie then read another article like this.

The 2016 travesty is to blame for the lower turn out of Afterlife, once bitten, twice shy as they say.

I’m glad for the female-led 2016 “Ghostbusters.”

Says it all really.

How about one more article in a month or so with the box office figures? We'll see if the movie should have been made or not at that point.

Kind of glad that Leeds were beaten by Chelsea, better off concentrating on returning to the top flight. Handy that Leicester won their game so they'll have to play one game extra now in the final run up.

@starpunk, I remember it as well and like you, I was frustrated that I was on the wrong side of the planet to see it.

I found the Queen and Elton biopics enjoyable but the Elvis film was a total snoozefest for me and I didn't finish watching it, not sure I even made it the halfway point of the film.

Looks great from a distance but when you get up close and see the mess of security fences surrounding the base, the majesty of the tower does diminish a bit. At least they've spent some money and put some half decent fencing in place since my visit several years ago.

There's only so many times an album can be rereleased/remastered/re-whatever and it's great that McCartney has taken things in a different direction for the 50th edition. More artists need to release albums in such a way so fans can appreciate how songs sound at different times in their production.

I wonder if this collapse will signal his retirement, two of them in the space of 7-months is not a good sign.

I believe the judge is looking at a life sentence for the pair though that means about 20-25 years in reality, with parole around their late 30's/early 40's.

Crazy part is how the killers immediately turned on each other, using the same story to pin the crime on the other. Glad the jury decided on sending them both down for the crime.

No-one cares apart from a few Man City fans.

No-one cares about the Club World Cup, ask fans to reel off what trophies their club has won and it'll always be the League, followed by the local Cup finals and whatever continental trophies like the Champions League. Very few will even bother to mention if their team won the Club World Cup even if its the only thing their team won that season as it's such a non-entity.

Well, he got his wish about going back to prison.

Calling it now, the whole thing will go massively over-budget by many billions of pounds/dollars/euros/yen and end up arriving around 2040 at the earliest with only half the promised specifications.
