Hatoyama to quit before election, hit by U.S. base fiasco

SAPPORO, Japan - Nago Mayor Susumu Inamine speaks to reporters in Sapporo on June 2, 2010, about Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's announcement to resign. Earlier in the day, Hatoyama said he will step down only about eight months after taking office, citing falling public support triggered by his failure to resolve a dispute over a U.S. military base relocation in Okinawa Prefecture and money scandals. Hatoyama's plan to relocate the base from Ginowan to Nago, both in Okinawa Prefecture, has triggered outrage from local people. (Kyodo)
