Japan expresses regret over U.S. Supreme Court ruling on California 'comfort woman' statue - Duration: 2:13.
A nationalist group from Japan demanding the removal of a statue dedicated to wartime sex
slavery victims, lost an appeal in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Connie Kim zooms in on the ruling that puts an end to years of lawsuits over the issue...
that even saw the Japanese government get involved.
Japan has expressed its regret about the U.S. Supreme Court's decision against a Japanese
group seeking the removal of a "comfort woman" statue in California -- the first of its kind
to be set up in the United States.
Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said in a regular press briefing on Tuesday
that regardless of the decision,...
Tokyo will continue to explain its stance on the issue to related officials in California.
Still, the court's decision formally ends the controversy over the statue that was installed
in the city of Glendale in 2013.
The right-leaning Japanese group -- Global Alliance for Historical Truth -- made a series
of requests to have the statue removed.
It filed suit with a district court in Los Angeles in 2014 and the U.S. Court of Appeals
in California in 2015, but the courts said the statue's removal would constitute a violation
of the freedom of expression.
Reflecting the Japanese government's interest in the issue, Tokyo had sent a letter of opinion
to the U.S. Supreme Court calling for the statue's removal.
Meanwhile, Japan is in the midst of a diplomatic row with Korea over the installation of a
comfort woman statue near the Japanese Consulate General in Busan,... which prompted Tokyo
to recall its ambassador in January.
The statue was installed to commemorate the first anniversary of a landmark deal struck
by Korea and Japan in 2015 that sought to resolve the issue.
While the U.S. court ruling is not related to the comfort woman statue in Korea,... experts
say the case showed Tokyo's determined to see the statues removed.
"In the absence of the president, Seoul is not in a position to exert diplomatic leadership.
The Japanese government is taking advantage of the situation."
.
Experts speculate that Tokyo will continue to raise the statue issue with Seoul,... likely
worsening the already strained bilateral relationship.

Summer's Gone - Duration: 4:17.
"This is for you."
"...what is it?"
"A note he left... for you."
"My sweet child,"
When he told me that dad was dead
It kept repeating in my head
That moment I knew summer's gone
It's time for us to travel on
He talked a lot with his floppy beard
You'd say, "Bless You." and he'd just sneer
He yelled about some "hower power"
As he climbed the water tower
That moment I knew summer's gone
It's time for us to travel on
Once he burst in with his wild legs and said,
"I wana be baptised!"
I knew that he was off his meds and said,
"Nice hammer, but wrong guy."
He threw it up into the fan and
He laughed while I ran
A dying man in a house full of clocks
But still you're runnin' out of time
My friend knew he had to fill the air
He told a joke about a lemon on a pear
That moment I knew summer's gone
It's time for us to travel on
Nana said as she raised her brow,
"Whatever you do, don't sell that cow!"
As we helped her crawl up the stairs
He told a joke about a lemon on a pear
That moment I knew summer's gone
It's time for us to travel on
"And in the end you'll always be the..."
"...biggest fish in the smallest pond."
"You put metal in nuclear heat and..."
"...blew us all beyond."
"The water's warm down here in Hell, but I'm..."
"...missing you and that church bell."
"Stuck in that barn in a hundred degrees..."
"...wish you'd survived that summer breeze."
"My sweet child,"
"It was great watching you grow into an amazing person."
"You will make a great grown up."
"Please keep a place for me in your heart."
"Remember all I've taught you."
"And don't forget any good times we had together."
"Love, Dad :)"

Forgotten Realms - A History of Baldur's Gate - Duration: 5:16.
At the halfway point between Waterdeep and Amn, we find the port city of Baldur's Gate
It curves like a great hand or crescent moon around its harbor
and provides a haven for travelers and merchants along the Sword Coast
But how did this city come to be?
What great struggles did it go through?
Today we shall learn more about the history of Baldur's Gate
The city is located 20 miles up the river Chionthar
Its walls serve as a port for most traders coming from Amn, or Waterdeep
a shining beacon of civilization along the trade way
The city also boasts a fascinating history and has been the setting for many impactful events of the realms
It was founded when an explorer named Balduran came back from a voyage from Anchromoe
where he had found great riches
He commanded that his wealth was spent on building fortifications around the harbor
so that his ships had better docking
Balduran set sail before the construction of these walls could be started
and the responsibility was left in the hands of the farmers surrounding the town
They chose to ignore Balduran's command and built a large wall around their farms
so that they could tax travelers going up and down the Sword Coast for their own gain
This soon grew to be a profitable enterprise and what was once farmers now turned into wealthy landowners
Even though the walls did not encompass the wharfs
the "lords" now started charging a tax on the captains who saw Balduron as a friend and colleague
I'm unsure if it was the pure arrogance of the farmers
or that the captains managed to keep the fact that they were armed and trained secret
But, unsurprisingly a violent uproar started when the captain's came demanding coin
The rebellion was swift and bloody
and soon the city had gained some new Lords along with its name, Baldur's Gate
The captains of the revolt decided that the town should be ruled by four dukes
with one of them serving as a tiebreaker,
the Grand Duke
Baldur's Gate prospered after this
soon growing out of the walls and into the harbor
New walls were built and finally Balduron's wish was fulfilled
With the rise of this new city, new organizations started to form
Some of them good, like the merchants league,
a brotherhood of merchants dedicated to exploration and honest dealings
The Knights of the Shield, an organization composed of nobles from Baldur's Gate,
their aims: Protect the city from harm
The mercenary company, the Flaming Fist, also organized in Baldur's Gate
It is one of the strongest and most organized militia in the realms
They serve as the local law enforcement as well as the secret police for the four dukes
Less good organizations were also attracted to Baldur's Gate
The Shadow Thieves of Amn have a strong foothold in the city
and Xanathar's Thieves' Guild can also be found without much hassle
In modern day these organizations are known by the name "The Guild"
but they are still made up of the same riff raff as before
Baldur's Gate is divided into three major areas: the upper, the lower and the outer city
The upper city is located within the original walls
and here we can find wealthy merchants and the nobility
Attacks is employed to keep out the unsavory types in this part of the city,
ironic, since a revolt against taxes was the reason Baldur's Gate prospered
The Lower City is the harbor area, and where most of the lifeblood of Baldur's Gate flows
The Flaming Fist patrol the streets but any traveler should arm themselves, just in case
The outer city is filled with the lower classes and
unfortunately sees almost no assistance from the central city
While not as lawless as Skullport, you cannot count on a guard protecting you in this area
Baldur's Gate has seen many problems over the ages
Bhaal has used the city many times in his attempts to resurrect
and during his latest attempt, he succeeded,
causing the deaths of thousands
This telling might have painted a scary picture of what Baldur's Gate is
but this might be because history tends to lean towards the bloody and deadly
The Crescent Moon City is a place you should not fear to visit
its walls will protect all who follow the law
and it is by far the most racially open city that I can recall
Volo claims it rivals Waterdeep in greatness, and who am I to disagree with the great Geddarm
Well, actually I have a few more bones to pick with him
But more on that, next time...

What does Passover teach us about salvation? - UNLEARN the lies - Duration: 5:31.
What does Passover teach us about salvation?
It's time to UNLEARN the lies.
UNLEARN
Hey, welcome to UNLEARN.
My name is Lex, and I'd like to invite you to join us each week as we search out Biblical
truth together and UNLEARN the lies we have inherited.
Now, let's get started.
Passover is fundamental to Christian faith.
Yeshua is our Passover Lamb and we should keep the Feast in remembrance of His sacrifice.
In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul connects Yeshua with the Passover lamb.
"Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened.
For also Messiah our Pesach was slaughtered for us.
So then let us celebrate the festival, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil
and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."
- 1 Corinthians 5:7-8
This is a profound statement because Paul is directing us to look at our Messiah through
the events of Passover and the Exodus from Egypt.
I believe that Passover provides us with a blueprint for salvation by grace through faith
and the blood of the lamb, which is the same way Paul describes our salvation through Yeshua
as well.
"For by favor you have been saved, through belief, and that not of yourselves, it is
the gift of Elohim, it is not by works, so that no one should boast."
- Ephesians 2:8-9
During the time of Moses, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt and could do nothing to free
themselves from their captivity.
They needed a redeemer to come and set them free, and Moses instructed the people about
how their salvation would come.
These instructions brought salvation from their bondage, and they continue to bring
salvation for us today.
Yahweh told the Israelites to kill a lamb and apply its blood to the doorposts of their
homes to avoid the death plague that struck Egypt that night.
Yahweh also told them to eat the passover lamb with bitter herbs and unleavened bread,
and to remain in their homes all night as He passed over their home.
I want to point out that the Israelites did nothing to earn their salvation, it was a
gift from Yahweh.
They could not save themselves.
However, they were expected to follow the instructions to receive their salvation, otherwise
they would not be spared from the death plague.
But, they had faith that Yahweh would deliver them as He promised, and their faith is what
motivated their obedience.
This is how faith produces obedience.
They could not save themselves, but those who believed and obeyed the Word of Yahweh
received the gift of salvation.
This is the exact same pattern we see with Yeshua as the Passover Lamb who died to save
us from our bondage.
"for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim, being declared right, without
paying, by His favor through the redemption which is in Messiah Yeshua, whom Elohim set
forth as an atonement, through belief in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because
in His tolerance Elohim had passed over the sins that had taken place before, to demonstrate
at the present time His righteousness, that He is righteous and declares righteous the
one who has belief in Yeshua."
- Romans 3:23-26
We are slaves to sin and we can do nothing to save ourselves.
We can only be saved by grace through faith and the blood of the Lamb.
Yahweh sent His Son to die for our sins as the Passover Lamb.
His instructions are that we believe that Yahweh will deliver us, and that we apply
the blood of the Lamb to our home to avoid the death plague.
We can do nothing to save ourselves, but if we have faith we will obey the instructions
that our Heavenly Father has given us.
Now, after the Israelites were set free from Egypt, they were given instructions about
how to live as redeemed people.
These instructions, called the Torah, are the constitution of the Kingdom.
These Laws teach us how to live as His redeemed people.
We are not saved by obeying the commandments, but once we have been saved, we are given
commandments to teach us how to live a life free from sin.
The Bible also tells us that many of the Israelites wanted to return to Egypt after they had received
their salvation.
This happened after they saw giants living in the promised land, and the people were
afraid and wanted to turn back to Egypt.
"And all the children of Yisra'ĕl grumbled against Mosheh and against Aharon, and all
the congregation said to them, "If only we had died in the land of Mitsrayim!
Or if only we had died in this wilderness!
And why is Yahweh bringing us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children
should become a prey?
Would it not be better for us to turn back to Mitsrayim?
And they said to each other, "Let us appoint a leader, and let us turn back to Mitsrayim."
- Numbers 14:2-4
We have been set free from sin by the blood of the Lamb, do not trample His sacrifice
underfoot by returning to bondage in sin.
Walk in the freedom He brings, and live according to His instructions so that you can go in
and inherit the promised land.

U.S., other nuclear powers boycott UN talks to ban nuclear weapons - Duration: 0:45.
The first negotiations on a treaty to ban nuclear weapons kicked off at the UN Headquarters
in New York on Monday,... but did so WITHOUT the support of major nuclear powers,... including
the United States, Britain and France.
About 40 nations are known to have boycotted the conference which was attended by more
than one-hundred others amid rising nuclear threats out of Pyongyang.
Saying the world needs to be more realistic,... Nikki Haley, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN,...
told reporters that North Korea is highly unlikely to voluntarily give up its nuclear
weapons.
In October last year,... some 120 countries announced the initiative to ban nuclear weapons,
despite opposition from the world's nuclear powers.

U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of Glendale's "comfort woman" statue - Duration: 0:44.
Three-year-long legal moves by the Japanese government and right-wing Japanese groups
to remove the "comfort woman" statue in the U.S. city of Glendale have ended with defeat.
On Monday,... the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed an appeal filed by the Japanese group "Global
Alliance for Historical Truth" to have the city remove the statue that depicts a young
woman in traditional Korean dress.
In a rare step, the Japanese government had presented an opinion to the Supreme Court,...
asking it to rule in favor of the suit.
Historians estimate around 200-thousand women, mostly Koreans, were forced into sexual slavery
by the Japanese military before and during World War II.

'Religious left' emerging as U S political force in Trump era - Duration: 11:36.
'Religious left' emerging as U.S. political force in Trump era
Since President Donald Trump's election, monthly lectures on social justice at the 600-seat
Gothic chapel of New York's Union Theological Seminary have been filled to capacity with
crowds three times what they usually draw.
In January, the 181-year-old Upper Manhattan graduate school, whose architecture evokes
London's Westminster Abbey, turned away about 1,000 people from a lecture on mass incarceration.
In the nine years that Reverend Serene Jones has served as its president, she has never
seen such crowds.
"The election of Trump has been a clarion call to progressives in the Protestant and
Catholic churches in America to move out of a place of primarily professing progressive
policies to really taking action," she said.
Although not as powerful as the religious right, which has been credited with helping
elect Republican presidents and boasts well-known leaders such as Christian Broadcasting Network
founder Pat Robertson, the "religious left" is now slowly coming together as a force in
U.S. politics.
This disparate group, traditionally seen as lacking clout, has been propelled into political
activism by Trump's policies on immigration, healthcare and social welfare, according to
clergy members, activists and academics.
A key test will be how well it will be able to translate its mobilization into votes in
the 2018 midterm congressional elections.
"It's one of the dirty little secrets of American politics that there has been a religious left
all along and it just hasn't done a good job of organizing," said J. Patrick Hornbeck II,
chairman of the theology department at Fordham University, a Jesuit school in New York.
"It has taken a crisis, or perceived crisis, like Trump's election to cause folks on the
religious left to really own their religion in the public square," Hornbeck said.
Religious progressive activism has been part of American history.
Religious leaders and their followers played key roles in campaigns to abolish slavery,
promote civil rights and end the Vietnam War, among others.
The latest upwelling of left-leaning religious activism has accompanied the dawn of the Trump
presidency.
Some in the religious left are inspired by Pope Francis, the Roman Catholic leader who
has been an outspoken critic of anti-immigrant policies and a champion of helping the needy.
Although support for the religious left is difficult to measure, leaders point to several
examples, such as a surge of congregations offering to provide sanctuary to immigrants
seeking asylum, churches urging Republicans to reconsider repealing the Obamacare health
law and calls to preserve federal spending on foreign aid.
The number of churches volunteering to offer sanctuary to asylum seekers doubled to 800
in 45 of the 50 U.S. states after the election, said the Elkhart, Indiana-based Church World
Service, a coalition of Christian denominations which helps refugees settle in the United
States - and the number of new churches offering help has grown so quickly that the group has
lost count.
"The religious community, the religious left is getting out, hitting the streets, taking
action, raising their voices," said Reverend Noel Anderson, its national grassroots coordinator.
In one well-publicized case, a Quaker church in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on March 14 took
in a Honduran woman who has been living illegally in the United States for 25 years and feared
she would be targeted for deportation.
'NEVER SEEN' THIS
Leaders of Faith in Public Life, a progressive policy group, were astounded when 300 clergy
members turned out at a January rally at the U.S. Senate attempting to block confirmation
of Trump's attorney general nominee, Jeff Sessions, because of his history of controversial
statements on race.
"I've never seen hundreds of clergy turning up like that to oppose a Cabinet nominee,"
said Reverend Jennifer Butler, the group's chief executive.
The group on Wednesday convened a Capitol Hill rally of hundreds of pastors from as
far away as Ohio, North Carolina and Texas to urge Congress to ensure that no people
lose their health insurance as a result of a vote to repeal Obamacare.
Financial support is also picking up.
Donations to the Christian activist group Sojourners have picked up by 30 percent since
Trump's election, the group said.
But some observers were skeptical that the religious left could equal the religious right
politically any time soon.
"It really took decades of activism for the religious right to become the force that it
is today," said Peter Ubertaccio, chairman of the political science department at Stonehill
College, a Catholic school outside Boston.
But the power potential of the "religious left" is not negligible.
The "Moral Mondays" movement, launched in 2013 by the North Carolina NAACP's Reverend
William Barber, is credited with contributing to last year's election defeat of Republican
Governor Pat McCrory by Democrat Roy Cooper.
The new political climate is also spurring new alliances, with churches, synagogues and
mosques speaking out against the recent spike in bias incidents, including threats against
mosques and Jewish community centers.
The Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom, which encourages alliances between Jewish and Muslim women,
has tripled its number of U.S. chapters to nearly 170 since November, said founder Sheryl
Olitzky.
"This is not about partisanship, but about vulnerable populations who need protection,
whether it's the LGBT community, the refugee community, the undocumented community," said
Rabbi Jonah Pesner, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, using the
acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.
More than 1,000 people have already signed up for the center's annual Washington meeting
on political activism, about three times as many as normal, Pesner said.
Leaders of the religious right who supported Trump say they see him delivering on his promises
and welcomed plans to defund Planned Parenthood, whose healthcare services for women include
abortion, through the proposed repeal of Obamacare.
"We have not seen any policy proposals that run counter to our faith," said Lance Lemmonds,
a spokesman for the Faith & Freedom Coalition, a nonprofit group based in Duluth, Georgia.
Trump son-in-law to testify on foreign contacts in Russia probe
ared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and a top White House adviser, has volunteered
to testify to a Senate committee probing whether Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 presidential
election, the White House said on Monday.
The allegations by U.S. intelligence agencies that Russian actors were behind the hacking
of Democratic National Committee emails last year linger over Trump's young presidency.
Democrats charge the Russians wanted to tilt the election toward the Republican, a claim
dismissed by Trump.
Russia denies the allegations.
But there has been no doubt that the Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergei Kislyak,
developed contacts among the Trump team.
Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was forced to resign on Feb. 13 after
revelations that he had discussed U.S. sanctions on Russia with Kislyak and misled Vice President
Mike Pence about the conversations.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Kushner is willing to testify to the Senate Intelligence
Committee chaired by U.S. Senator Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican.
"Throughout the campaign and the transition, Jared served as the official primary point
of contact with foreign governments and officials ... and so, given this role, he volunteered
to speak with Chairman Burr's committee, but has not received any confirmation regarding
a time for a meeting," Spicer told reporters at his daily briefing.
The Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate panel also said Kushner had agreed
to be interviewed.
At the same time, a mystery rooted in Trump's claim that he was wiretapped by then President
Barack Obama during the election campaign deepened with the disclosure that a top congressional
Republican reviewed classified information on the White House grounds about potential
surveillance of some Trump campaign associates.
U.S. Representative Devin Nunes, chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence
Committee, visited the White House the night before announcing on Wednesday that he had
information that indicated some Trump associates may have been subjected to some level of intelligence
activity before Trump took office on Jan. 20.
Democrats have said Nunes, who was a member of Trump's transition team, can no longer
run a credible investigation of Russian hacking, the U.S. election and any potential involvement
by Trump associates.
Top House Democrat Nancy Pelosi last week called Nunes "a willing stooge of Trump."
Nunes spokesman Jack Langer said in a statement that Nunes "met with his source at the White
House grounds in order to have proximity to a secure location where he could view the
information provided by the source."
White House spokesman Spicer did not shed any light on who at the White House helped
Nunes gain access to a secure location.
"I'm not going to get into who he met with or why he met with them," Spicer said.
"I will leave it up to him and not try to get in the middle of that."
It was the latest twist in a saga that began on March 4 when Trump said on Twitter without
providing evidence that he "just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump
Tower just before the victory."
FBI Director James Comey told Congress last Monday he had seen no evidence to support
the claim.
Trump's mention of wiretapping drew attention away from U.S. intelligence agencies having
said that Russia tried to help Trump in the election against Democrat Hillary Clinton
by hacking leading Democrats and spreading disinformation.
Nunes told reporters on Wednesday that he had briefed Trump "on the concerns I had about
incidental collection and how it relates to President-elect Trump and his transition team
and the concerns that I have."
After an uproar over the allegations and the fact that he briefed Trump first before members
of his own committee, Nunes apologized on Thursday for the way he handled the information.
A congressional source said congressional investigators have questioned agencies directly
to try to find out what intelligence reports and intercepts Nunes is referring to, but
that as of Monday the agencies were still saying they did not know what Nunes was talking
about.
The Washington Post reported on Monday that Nunes was on his way to an event late Tuesday
when he left his staff and went to review classified intelligence files brought to his
attention by his source, whom he has not identified.
The White House had seized on Nunes' remarks to bolster Trump's unproven assertion that
Obama wiretapped his campaign headquarters in Manhattan's Trump Tower.
Nunes and some other Republicans have focused much of their concern over the investigation
about the possibility that some Americans' names have been improperly "unmasked" and
released to the public in leaks about the investigation of whether Trump's campaign
colluded with Moscow

U.S., other nuclear powers boycott UN talks to ban nuclear weapons - Duration: 0:49.
The first negotiations on a treaty to ban nuclear weapons kicked off at the UN Headquarters
in New York on Monday,... but did so WITHOUT the support of major nuclear powers,... including
the United States, Britain and France.
About 40 nations are known to have boycotted the conference which was attended by more
than one-hundred others amid rising nuclear threats out of Pyongyang.
Saying the world needs to be more realistic,... Nikki Haley, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN,...
told reporters that North Korea is highly unlikely to voluntarily give up its nuclear
weapons.
In October last year,... some 120 countries announced the initiative to ban nuclear weapons,
despite opposition from the world's nuclear powers.
