Gov't, Okinawa begin "intensive" talks on standoff over U.S. base

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga (L) and Okinawa Gov. Takeshi Onaga shake hands in Okinawa's prefectural capital Naha on Aug. 12, 2015, before their talks aimed at breaking an impasse over a controversial plan to relocate a U.S. military base within Okinawa. Just hours before the so-called "intensive consultations" began, a U.S. military helicopter crashed off Okinawa's main island, highlighting the risks Okinawa faces by hosting the bulk of U.S. facilities in Japan.
