Trudeau apologises for 2001 'brownface' photo

Newsday

Available for over a year

The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wore 'brownface' at a private school gala nearly two decades ago, a photo obtained by Time Magazine shows; a Japanese court has delivered its verdict in the trial of three former energy executives accused of responsibility for the Fukushima nuclear disaster. They've been acquitted; and in South Africa tackling the growing problem of violence against women has found a new champion - teenage boys, who are pledging to be 'men that people run to and not from'.
