| Exclusive - Abe's Japan reform plan draft leaves tough questions unanswered |
|
 By Takaya Yamaguchi TOKYO (Reuters) - A draft plan to boost Japanese growth promises to overhaul corporate governance, promote technology and attract private investment, but it leaves many of the toughest questions unanswered as the country seeks to claw its way out of a crippling cycle of deflation. The 60-page draft outline of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's growth strategy reviewed by Reuters, which has not been made public, gives no details of how and whether the government would cut the corporate tax rate. Nor does it detail plans to overhaul the nation's public pension fund, known as GPIF, another of the most closely watched policy measures for investors in Japan's stock market. The draft plan was compiled by government ministries and will form the basis of Abe's "third arrow" reform update due to be announced later this month.

| R&B singer Chris Brown released from Los Angeles jail |
|
 Grammy-winning R&B singer Chris Brown was released on Monday from a Los Angeles jail where he was serving a one-year sentence for violating probation from his 2009 assault of pop singer Rihanna. Brown was released from Men's Central Jail at 12:01 a.m., said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Tony Moore. Brown, 25, had admitted last month in a Los Angeles court to violating his probation in Washington, D.C., where he allegedly punched and broke the nose of a man who jumped into a photo of the singer with two fans. Brown has been locked up since March 14 after he was kicked out of court-ordered rehabilitation in California for violating rules.

| Afghan president fumes at prisoner deal made behind his back - source |
|
 By Hamid Shalizi and Jessica Donati KABUL (Reuters) - The Afghan president is angry at being kept in the dark over a deal to free five Taliban leaders in exchange for a captured U.S. soldier, and accuses Washington of failing to back a peace plan for the war-torn country, a senior source said on Monday. The five prisoners were flown to Qatar on Sunday as part of a secret agreement to release Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who left Afghanistan for Germany on the same day. The only known U.S. prisoner of war in Afghanistan, Bergdahl had been held captive for five years. "The president is now even more distrustful of U.S. intentions in the country," said the source close to President Hamid Karzai's palace in Kabul, who declined to be identified.

| British TV star Savile may have abused 500 children, youngest 2 - charity |
|
 By Belinda Goldsmith LONDON (Reuters) - Late British television presenter Jimmy Savile was a far more prolific sex offender even than previously suspected, a charity said on Monday, abusing children as young as two and targeting victims in a high-security psychiatric hospital. Savile, a major BBC celebrity and charity fundraiser in the 1970s and 1980s, was unmasked after his 2011 death aged 84 as one of Britain's worst sex offenders. He preyed largely on children at hospitals and BBC premises, relying on his celebrity status to deter or block any complaints. Research by the National Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) showed on Monday there had been at least 500 reports of abuse by Savile, compared to a suspected 140, with most victims aged 13-15 but the youngest just two.
