OSAKA, Japan, Aug. 7 Kyodo - Yahiro Netsu, a medical doctor who runs a maternity clinic in Nagano Prefecture, attends a press conference in Osaka on Jan. 28, 2020, after the Osaka District Court dismissed earlier in the day a damages lawsuit filed by a husband and wife who claimed that errors in selective reduction procedure carried out at an Osaka clinic when the woman was pregnant with quintuplets had led to her miscarriage, leaving her without any children. Netsu, who sides with the couple, calls for the central government to establish legal rules on multiple pregnancy to ensure selective reduction, or the practice of reducing the number of fetuses in a multiple pregnancy, is conducted safely.(Kyodo)

Pope Francis Dies Aged 88

File photo - Photo dated May 13, 2023 shows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky meets Pope Francis. Ukraine has strongly rejected a call by Pope Francis for Kyiv to negotiate an end to its war with Russia and have "the courage to raise the white flag".

A Vatican spokesman later said the Pope was speaking of stopping the fighting through negotiation, not capitulation. -- Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.
