Can Japan Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi get past gaffes to ease country's unlikely dependence on coal? - CBS News
Tokyo — It wasn't the most auspicious coming-out for an environment minister. Sweeping into New York for the U.N. Climate Summit, 38-year-old Shinjiro Koizumi approached his first foreign assignment with the same savoir faire he deploys to great effect at home.
The son of a popular former prime minister, Koizumi has been compared by Western analysts to the likes of JFK and (pre-scandal) Justin Trudeau.

TikTok's local moderation guidelines ban pro-LGBT content | Technology | The Guardian
TikTok's efforts to provide locally sensitive moderation have resulted in it banning any content that could be seen as positive to gay people or gay rights, down to same-sex couples holding hands, even in countries where homosexuality has never been illegal, the Guardian can reveal.
One, the "strict" guidelines, were used in countries with conservative moral codes, and contained a significantly more restrictive set of rules concerning nudity and vulgarity, which ban, for instance, "partially naked buttocks", exposed cleavage with "a length of more than 1/3 of the whole cleavage length", and lengthy depictions of sanitary pads.
