Officials in Aichi Prefecture have filed a complaint with the police after receiving hundreds of threatening emails about an international art festival. The Aichi Triennale Arts Festival opened on August 1. The prefectural office received threatening phones and emails about a section that featured a statue of a girl symbolizing those referred to as wartime comfort women. The Aichi governor, who chairs the organizing committee, announced on August 3 that the exhibit would be removed to allow people to view the event safely. A man was arrested on August 7 on suspicion of sending a threat by fax. Prefectural officials said on Wednesday that they had received 770 threatening emails between August 5 and 9. They said these included threats to shoot officials and to use gasoline to set fire to the prefecture’s facilities and schools. The officials say some of the threats used the same wording. After the statue was removed, two South Korean artists withdrew their works in prote...

The Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — Kyle Seager left Comerica Park with the first three-homer game of his career and he had no idea how it happened. Seager homered in the fourth, sixth and ninth innings, driving in six runs as the Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 11-6 on Tuesday night. “I don’t remember ever hitting three in a game at any level,” he said. “I’m not sure I’ve ever done it.” Seager’s first two homers were routine, but he got some help on the third one. His line drive to left-centerfield didn’t have the distance to clear the fence, but centerfielder Niko Goodrum and leftfielder Brandon Dixon collided on the warning track. The ball hit Goodrum’s glove and bounced over the fence. “I was running, so I didn’t see it,” Seager said. “Everyone told me they knocked it over, but I’m going to have to find a replay online. When I tell the story, it’s going to be a no-doubter.” Seager and Tom Murphy hit back-to-back homers in the fourth and sixth innings, but Tig...

Reuters WASHINGTON (Reuters) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday backed off his Sept. 1 deadline for 10 percent tariffs on remaining Chinese imports, delaying duties on cellphones, laptops and other consumer goods, in the hopes of blunting their impact on U.S. holiday sales. The delay, which affects about half of the $300 billion target list of Chinese goods — along with news of renewed trade discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials — sent stocks sharply higher and drew cautious relief from retailers and technology groups. Trump’s 10 percent tariffs will be effective from Dec. 15 for thousands of products including clothing and footwear, possibly buttressing the holiday selling season from some of the fallout from the protracted trade spat between the world’s two largest economies. “We’re doing this for Christmas season, just in case some of the tariffs would have an impact on U.S. customers,” Trump told reporters in New Jersey. “Just in case they might have an impac...

Reuters UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) — Pakistan on Tuesday asked the United Nations Security Council to meet over India’s decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, the Himalayan region that has long been a flashpoint in ties between the nuclear-armed neighbors. “Pakistan will not provoke a conflict. But India should not mistake our restraint for weakness,” Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi wrote in a letter to the Security Council seen by Reuters. “If India chooses to resort again to the use of force, Pakistan will be obliged to respond, in self defense, with all its capabilities,” he said, adding that “in view of the dangerous implications” Pakistan requested the meeting. It was not immediately clear how the 15-member council would respond to the request and whether a member of the body would also need to make a formal request. Pakistan said Saturday it had China’s support for the move. Poland is president of the Security Council for August. Po...

Reuters LOS ANGELES (Reuters) — The Los Angeles Opera said Tuesday it will investigate accusations of sexual misconduct against Spanish tenor Placido Domingo, as two organizations canceled planned appearances by him. The Los Angeles Opera, where Domingo is general director, was responding to accusations made by eight singers, a dancer and others in the classical music world in a report by AP. Domingo said in a statement that the accusations were inaccurate. The Associated Press reported allegations by the women of inappropriate behavior.

The LA Opera is “committed to doing everything w...
