The Sri Lankan government plans to actively engage with the countries human rights by an independent organization. And the organization comprises oversea lawyer to monitor government investigation into alleged cases of human rights violations.
(The Yomiuri Shimbun Jul.1,2007)
I think most of the recent concerns are diplomacy, environment, terriorism and so on all over the world. So, I haven't seen the human rights topic for long time, but the human rights is one of the most important issues.

Abe,Bush to cooperate on environmental problems
The Japanese government and U.S. government decided to cooperate on global warming and other environmental problems. According this joint document(tentantively titled "energy security", they will be engaged in innovation technologies, for example the retention technology to contain CO2 in the ground. The their aim is making it easier for U.S. to join Post-Kyoto activities. U.S.'s participation will be important because he is the world's largest producer of greenhouse gases.
I wonder why U.S. starts to think about environmental problems. I think U.S. should do earlier. Though this cooperation is great and they rather think about these problems than war. I don't agree with their military convention. But I want to support the cooperation like the article.

Abe sent offering to Yasukuni
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe sent an offering of 50,000 yen for Yasukuni Shirine in an annual spring festival in last month. Then Abe became the first prime minister to make offering since Yasuhiro Nakasone.
About this action, chief cabinet secretary refrained from making comment. Also, he denied public money was used for Abe's offering.And within the government and ruling parties, there are various reaction. A party agree with offering, but another criticize it. Many people concern about diplomatic relation to China, Korea and other countries. And it is matter concerning the private capacity of Prime Minister.

This problem is difficult for me, but I think Prime Minister Abe should think. As a person, going to Yasukuni is good. But he is the head of Japan, if many people in other countries misunderstand, it is not good.
I don't know war, Yasukuni and history of aggression. So I can't show my position about this problem and should study these things.

I think it is interesting. Many people may not know lay judge system in detail. So, waching the play and thinking about real cases is good chance for people. But I don't think the play is not practical. Because the play will not treat many cases, it is not limitless.

Aging Shinnkabuki-za theater to close, reopen in 2010
Aging Shinkabuki-za theater in Osaka is to close by the end of March 2010. At this theater, many kind of plays and other shows featuring enka singer or movie star were performed. The new theater will open in 2020 and host similar type of entertainment to the exsisting theater.
Sugi Ryotaro, who was main perfomer in the theater, said: I'm sentimental about the theater closing,but there is no choice as it's become too old. The Shinkabuki-za will be the Shinkabuki-za, where it is.
(May.3,2007 DAILY YOMIURI )
I am impressed Sugi's comment. Reading it, I feel what the theater is like for Osaka people or those who like plays.
First, I think the cause of the theater closing is that young people don't go to play, but actually, because of being decrepit. I think even this theater renew, it will be loved by many people from now on.
