Hiroshima's poisonous past
While each year Japan solemnly marks the thousands killed by the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II, there is no shrine on Okunoshima Island, which lies a short distance from Hiroshima.

Bookies and players implicated in illegal betting in South Asia have long been given an easy ride, strengthening the underworld's grip on the game. - Raja Murthy
