Japanese PM Addresses US Congress, Expresses 'Condolences' For WW2 Abuses

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has become the first Japanese leader to address a joint session of the US Congress.

Mr. Abe expressed his 'eternal condolences' for the American lives lost fighting Japan in the second world war, but stopped short of a personal apology, which some veterans' groups and activists had demanded.

On Wednesday, the US Supreme Court is set to consider whether a three drug mix used for lethal injection by the state of Oklahoma constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.

The case comes as multiple states across the US have been turning to experimental drug combinations, as European manufacturers refuse to sell them drugs they've previously used to carry out executions.

Aid has started to reach remote regions of Nepal but aftershocks continue to complicate the relief effort.

The UK is giving another £5m ($7.5m) to the operation taking its total contribution so far to £15m ($22.5m) and a TV appeal has been launched by Britain's Disasters Emergency Committee.

NIGERIA'S MILITARY HAILS RESCUE OF WOMEN AND GIRLS FROM BOKO HARAM

Nigeria's military says 200 girls and 93 women rescued from a Boko Haram stronghold are not those abducted from a school in Chibok in April 2014.

However, the major operations did result in the seizure of four camps from the Islamist militant group in the Sambisa Forest.

15 000 people are thought to have died in Boko Haram's insurgency and military campaigns against it since 2012.

The kidnap of the schoolgirls taken from Chibok led to global campaigns for their return, but none of them has yet been found.

Curfew comes into force in Baltimore, protestors still on streets

Police in Baltimore are trying to clear the streets of hundreds of protestors after an overnight curfew began in the city.

President Obama, in an appearance at the White House, said rioters who injured more than a dozen police officers in Baltimore on Monday night were "thugs" who should be brought to justice.

But he said police also had to engage in some "soul searching" after a series of incidents across the United States involving the violent deaths of minor offenders.
