Unification Church tries to derail ex-believer's press conference

The controversial Unification Church on Friday attempted to stop a former believer's press conference by sending a message purportedly signed by her parents, but she pressed ahead and spoke out on alleged abuses that she and other believers endured at its hands. In a summarized version of the faxed message read out during the event, Sayuri Ogawa's parents called for the press conference to be halted immediately, saying their daughter has a "tendency to lie," and the psychiatric issues she said she suffers had worsened since a gunman killed former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. At the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan in Tokyo, which hosted the event, Ogawa, who uses a pseudonym to protect her real identity, relayed her traumatic experiences as a so-called second-generation church believer.

3 dead, over 180 injured after M7.4 quake hits northeastern Japan

A powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake off northeastern Japan late Wednesday left three people dead and more than 180 injured across 12 prefectures, and caused a high-speed shinkansen to derail. A Tohoku Shinkansen bullet train derailed between Fukushima Station and Shiroishizao Station, but all 78 passengers and crew members aboard were unharmed, according to East Japan Railway Co. JR East subsequently halted the operation of bullet trains between Nasushiobara Station and Morioka Station, and whether it can resume from next week remains unclear. The operator added that the bullet train service between Fukushima and Sendai stations running in that section is unlikely to resume within this month, pending restoration work. Shiroishizao Station is located between the two.
