| Al Jazeera journalist says surprised by arrest in Germany |
|
| By Ali Abdelaty and Ahmed Aboulenein CAIRO (Reuters) - A high-profile Al Jazeera journalist arrested in Germany at the weekend at the request of Egypt has said he was surprised by the move and expects to face a judge soon, in a case likely to raise fresh questions about Cairo's crackdown on dissent. Ahmed Mansour, a leading talk show host on the channel's Arabic service, told Al Jazeera by telephone: "The German authorities told me that we are dealing with an international criminal case" and a judge would decide whether he should be extradited to Egypt. Jazeera said at the time the charge was false and an attempt to silence Mansour, known to viewers across the Arab world. |
| Japan, South Korea hold talks amid "comfort women" feud |
|
 Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida held talks with his South Korean counterpart on Sunday in a bid to mend ties strained by a territorial dispute and a feud over "comfort women" forced to work in Japan's wartime military brothels. The fraught relations are complicating efforts to boost security cooperation between Japan and South Korea, two of the United States' main Asian allies, as the region copes with an unpredictable North Korea and an assertive China. South Korea says Japan has not properly atoned for its wartime past, including its role in forcing Korean women into prostitution at military brothels, while Japan says the matter of compensation for comfort women has already been settled.
