On the day Aung San Suu Kyi's latest detention period was due to expire, some 200 members of her National League for Democracy gathered in the Burmese capital, Rangoon, to shout slogans and call for her release from house arrest. But on Friday Burma's military junta extended it by another year, drawing swift international condemnation. In 1990 the army annulled national elections in spite of her NLD's victory in national polls.

At least nine people were killed and dozens more hurt by the bomb attack in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad while thousands of Muslim were ending Friday prayers at the Mecca Masjid, one of India's biggest mosques. It is not clear who carried out this attack. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh blamed for the attack and urged citizens "to maintain peace and communal harmony." Furthermore, chief minister of Andhra Paradesh state said the bombing was an act of "sabotage on the peace and tranquillity in the country." The similar bomb attacks killed 35 people last year in the western state of Maharashtra. It is also still not clear who carried out them.

Oita Taxi passengers won't be able to light up anywhere in Oita prefecture on June 1 - a first for the country. Taxi operators in the city of Oita introduced it in April 2006 and it spreaded out quickly to other parts of prefecture. At the end of April, there were only 200 taxis in which passengers can smoke. It is received with generally favorable reactions but there are also complaints from passengers who smoke and taxi drivers.
The number of nonsmoking taxis are increasing and this movement become nationwide.
[My opinion]
Generally, this movement proper to nonsmoking passengers in a mood of encouraging nonsmoking. While, it is said that nonsmoking taxis will drop their profits because taxis were convenient for smokers. The point is taxi companies can give up the fall of their profits by introducing nonsmoking policy, or not.

On Thursday Kumamoto Jikei Hospital opened Japan's first baby hatch , named "konotorino yurikago" (stork cradle), allowing the parents to anonymously leave babies there. Though this hospital places it to save the lives of infants who cannot be cared for, this hatch having incubator has been criticized as a way to encourage the abandonment of babies.
There are pros and cons. Taiji Hasuda, president of the hospital insisted what most important is to save the lives of babies. On the other hand, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki claimed that it is impermissible for parents to abandon their babies.
Kumamoto Mayor Seishi Koyama who approved this plan even said, "Japanese society should become one where such a facility is not needed."
[My opinion]
I really think Japan goverment needs to establish places to save babies who are suffered from neglect or something like that. Until now Japanese policy to the abandonment babies are not enough. Government should make a facility which covers the function of hatch "kounotorino yurikago." What is the best way to pretend the increase of the abandonment? It must be related to the welfare for the children deeply.
