Australian PM Julia Gillard visits Japan's ground zero
An emotional Julia Gillard has toured Minamisanriku, a once tranquil Japanese fishing town that was obliterated by the recent tsunami. The Prime Minister, who was the first foreign dignitary to tour the devastated region, joined the town's mayor, Jin Sato, to survey the devastated frame of a building that was once the town's disaster management centre. Mr Sato was inside when the torrent of water hit. He fled to the roof and hung on as the wave engulfed the building, sweeping his friends and colleagues to their deaths.

According to several sources, on April 27th, a Thai tour guide was arrested after he confessed to shooting to death one Japanese tourist and wounding another while they were trekking in northern Thailand. The two "tourists" are believed to be former yakuza members. Apichart Inphisak, the 41-year-old guide, was arrested Tuesday at a friend's house 30 kilometers from Chiang Rai. The pistol he said he used to shoot the two Japanese was confiscated, according to local Thai press sources. Japanese police sources assert that the two Japanese individuals were both members of the Yamaguchi-gumi Goto-gumi. One of the individuals is believed to have involved in the murder of real estate agent, Nozaki Kazuo, in 2006. (japansubculture.com)
