Japanese PM expresses WW2 remorse
"Profound grief" but no apology from Abe; Tianjin chemical dangers; Zimbabwe skulls
Shinzo Abe has expressed "profound grief" but no apology. He added that future generations should not "be predestined to apologise" - we speak to a Japanese student who agrees with him; Tianjin chemical dangers but the Chinese authorities are saying that they believe that the environment is safe; Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe says Britain should return the skulls of his country's war heroes.
