I think that the guys in the above photographs look extremely funny. Anybody visiting the area and seeing them would be quite forgiven if they asked the question " what is the name of the movie that you are making ?".

It is because of this violation of human rights by the Japanese authorities, tht the UK will not extradite suspects back to Japan.

More one sided rewriting of history. After the attack on Pearl Harbour the Japanese rounded up hundreds of Western people in Shanghai. Bankers, businessmen. Some were interned at the infamous Bridge House in Shanghai. Japanese living in the US during the war were treated very well in comparison, an compensated years later.

@Wallace. Oppenheimer seems to be a remake of a 1980 two part TV movie screened in the UK. (By the way, I'm not far behind you, will be 70 on my next birthday, and sorry about your home in Liverpool). My family were fortunate in Southport during the war.

We watched Oppenheimer but we won't be watching Barbie.

Agreed. You a probably a middle aged man like myself, rather than s teenage girl. My granddaughter would probably enjoy Barbie, rather than something academic, in her young stage of life. Still can't fully work out the controversy.

Every world leader should visit and appreciate the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. It changed my life. Anyone not touched by it should be banned from public office.

So everybody democratically elected person in public office throughout the world should travel to Hiroshima, and be touched. Maybe they should also visit the Unit 731 Memorial Museum in Hubei, China and be touched. A stop had to be put to such evil, and the atomic bomb did just that. After all, Japan at that time knew all about collateral damage.

Anyone who justifies the dropping of 2 A-bombs on cities filled with civilians, old men, women and children to a military attack on a military naval base is short on intellectual capability.

Anyone who justified the actions of the Japanese Imperial Army and their atrocities against civilians, (including the actions of Unit 731) old men, women and children, against 2 A-bombs to end this is short on intellectual capability.

Just checked IMDB on the above. It was actually 1980.

This movie Oppenheimer, seems to be a remake of a 2 part TV series screened in the UK in the mid 1970's. The series concentrated on the development of the atomic bomb, and the decision to use it. The was sa clip at the end (using original footage) showing injuries people being treated. This movie seems to be a remake.

If Japanese law, rule of law, and justice system was not so inept, and ( to put it bluntly) not such complete rubbish as it is, then vigilante's would not feel the need to take matters into their own hands.

70% of A-bomb survivors say G7 was meaningful for nuclear-free goal

In other words, the world does not regard Japan as a victim.

Well Japan has come a long way since I first came to Japan. (More years than I care to remember). In the old immigration department at Otamachi and Sendagaya , staff were rude, obstructive, some even nasty. It was quite apparent that Japan did not want to share it's new found wealth of that time. Now that Japan is in decline attitudes seem to be in reverse. Strange times.

Good to see that honest Japanese people do exist.

Good luck Mr.Ghosn. Hope that you win. But which ever way it goes, you have won by exposing Japan - it's disgraceful legal system, and Nissan for it's disgusting behaviour. I wish you well.

The last time Japan got involved with a European war (1993 Bosnia) via the UN, NATO had to take matters into their own hands, as the Japanese UN envoy was useless.

Sound not fair for China, while Japan can just book their flight to China and do whatever they like.

When is Japan ever fair?

A private Chinese company launched into orbit on Wednesday the world's first methane-liquid oxygen rocket, beating U.S. rivals in sending what could become the next generation of launch vehicles into space.

India has today successfully launched it's third moon mission rocket.

Just don't hold your breath on this one.

Japanese prosecutors are the pits. Any normal judge would throw such a request out.

No big loss Hong Kong, get your food from big brother China and see how that is.

Probably a lot cheaper (and just as good).

It is an utter disgrace that there is no trail date a year after his arrest. How primative. Is he being held in solitary? Japan's constitution and Criminal Code of Practice forbids solitary confinement of any prisoner for more than six months.

Unlike Japan, civilised countries (and people's / cultures) don't.take hostages.

That is why Japanese prosecutors want h back in Japan for questioning, and not investigated by Interpol.

No, I don't have a licence.

Fair enough. Mind you, I'm not sure which is worse. Strikes or congestion.

Ha! Liverpool's a great city, was very disappointed we couldn't get there again last Christmas due to the train strikes.

Can't you drive.

He deserves more than $1 billion. Incidentally, well done Lebanon for not returning him to Japan. Has Japan paid Mr Ghosn any compensation for unlawful detention as recommended by the UN.

the guy is a criminal in Japan, possibly France and the Netherlands.

The guy has never been on trail in Japan. He is therefore not a criminal.

he needs to be extradited.

Japan has no extradition treaty with Japan. Well done Lebanon for not extraditing him. Incidentally , has Japan compensated Mr.Ghosn for unlawful detention as recommended by the UN.

I am a little confused as to why this article is under the crime section. Non of it is Japan's jurisdiction.

I cannot help but gloat, when any misfortune happens to Nissan. Karma at it's best.

Crime of the century.

Incidentally, I know of Japanese nationals who operate hair salons in their apartments without any licences ( and other activities such as medical reiki).

Japan's time as a leader was already very noticeably disappearing when I arrived here back in 1991 and has only gathered steam over time & will sadly continue unabated.

Japan's time as a leader was diminishing before 1991. I think it was around 1987.
