Interestingly no one talks about that the police officer was attacking one of the good guys before being stabbed from behind. There is a live stream video after all.
Using the slogan “from the river to the sea” or posting the red triangle 🔻 will also count as praising terrorism. I’m not even joking. I watched the press conference where the government spokesperson confirmed this. As such they’ll be able to deport you for using “from the river to the sea” or for even liking a post using it.
Meanwhile, national broadcaster NHK reported the death of a climber who had become ill and lost consciousness near the summit on Wednesday.
At the same time, Kyodo News service reported that professional climber Keita Kurakami, 38, passed away in a hospital after being found by police while climbing the mountain.
Mount Fuji is a popular but challenging destination due to extreme cold and altitude sickness risks.
To make it in time for sunrise, many attempt to complete the climb through the night without breaks, risking sickness and injury.
Authorities have tried to address this by charging hikers using the Yoshida trail, the most popular route to climb Mount Fuji.
In May, the town of Fujikawaguchiko in Yamanashi prefecture erected a large black screen to block the view of Mount Fuji to dissuade tourists who litter the roads and break traffic rules to get the best photo for social media.

A brief attempted coup appeared to come to an end after Bolivian forces withdrew from government areas in the capital La Paz on Wednesday, hours after armored vehicles were seen ramming the door of the presidential palace.
Bolivian authorities arrested the outgoing general commander of the army, Juan Jose Zuniga, after troops pulled back from the square.
Democracy must be respected," Arce said on social media as the military began to arrive at Plaza Murillo in central La Paz.
Zuniga, for his part, said in televised comments that he expected the government to change and that he also intended to release "political prisoners," including the former interim president, Jeanine Anez.
Chile's President Gabriel Boric also expressed "concern about the situation in Bolivia" and "our support for democracy in our brother country and for the legitimate government."
"The United States is closely monitoring the situation in Bolivia and calls for calm," a spokesperson for the US National Security Council said in a statement.

That international arms dealer for WNBA player trade reminded me of that kid in middle school that traded away his Mox Ruby for a Serra Angel because it looked cooler.
Everyone is fat, no one moves around. Hmmm... Chicken and egg problem? More on that.
In 70's elementary school, we started gym class with a 1-mile jog, twice around the track. I can't imagine the kids I see walking home from the middle school doing that. We also had 3 recess periods. Asked my step-son about his recess breaks. "What's recess?"
No, I'm not laying all the blame on my anecdotes, but it is interesting. As I get older, the harm becomes more and more obvious. Not something my young self thought of because A) hardly anyone was fat in school (nothing like today) and B) I was a scrawny kid, not my problem.
I see so much harm that I'd ignored, or it wasn't as prevalent. People at the store who can't walk normally, people with mobility gear, almost every person in my doctor's waiting room is obese, stuff like that. Ever notice that most everyone you see in an ankle brace or the like is well overweight?
It's sad seeing the things they're left out of. Met a big girl online, wasn't interested in dating, but she wanted to kayak. Only person I've ever met that actually fell out, repeatedly. Center of gravity far too high. Hiking to the local creek is a non-starter if you're too big, over a mile of deep, sandy trail. Tough for me to make the round trip and I'm only 145lbs.
I never see fat people on the trail or any kind of unpowered boat. OK, not fair, I see some on river where the kayak/canoe rentals places go, but it's clearly a rare lark for them. (I'd be an obvious noob if a regular jogger or regular beach goer saw me farting around.)
Back to the chicken and egg. Maybe some overweight people can chime in. Know the old saw about fat people being (physically) lazy? Do you get fat from not moving or not moving because it's too hard? As I age I see how easy it is to hit a downward spiral with health. Arthritis is eating my hands, but it gets worse if I don't use them.
Done skipping work. Going outside to work and see what I can manage.
My weight has bounced up and down a bit over the past few years, and while I've never been obese (just overweight), I very much notice how gaining weight begins to restrict my range of motion, so I think it is often a bit of a snowball effect. As you gain weight, moving gets harder, and when moving gets harder, you probably move less, making it even easier to keep putting on weight.
Like you mentioned, I've also noticed that my pain levels often increase when I move less. I was very hesitant to run or do squats for a long time due to a family history of knee problems, but I have a strong suspicion now that those knee problems were likely made worse due to inactivity. I am still pretty cautious about any knee aches, but I found my knees became less achy as I worked to strengthen my leg muscles.
I think car culture is also a major factor. I currently live in a location where I can comfortably function without a car. I do make an effort to exercise for the sole purpose of exercise, but even if I didn't, daily life still forces me to get up and move around quite a bit. Not too long ago, I was visiting family and borrowed the car to run some errands. I had 2 stops that were less than a block apart, so I decided to walk, and I will never make that mistake again, because the way everything is designed there really encourages driving and punishes pedestrians.
Pretty sure that if you're a spy, reporter is probably the worst possible cover, since a reporter is already someone that very clearly snoops, and snooping people get watched closely.
I think a much better spy would be a native born Russian, working in a lower-level job where people don't pay a whole lot of attention to them.
Do you actually think that intelligence agencies are only in contact with one guy? Why wouldn't the CIA be interested in a reporter traveling to Russia to do a story about Wagner?
Yeah I agree, it's impossible to know if he's a spy or not. He might even not know he had shared intresset with other agencies, someone might have led him closer to Wagner than he initially intended.
But he does raise a lot of questions for the Russian it intelligence.
Well, yeah, of course I cannot be certain. I am not that guy. That's why I'm just trying to apply some basic sense. A spy to me is a person doing espionage work specifically for their government. The difference with a journalist is a journalist is not working specifically for their government, and will publicly publish their findings where a spy would usually not.
I think we have a different view of spying, this can also be Russians just want a prisoner swap.
All intelligence services have people working for them undercover, you can be hired by or talked into doing x and y by an some intelligence service, you can also be asked to share information with them. They can even help you getting in contact with the right people to make what ever you're trying to do easier.
You can say that a journalist will publish it findings, but also the journalist can do a lot of other things. I mean I can think of multiple things that the CIA would be interested in that is not necessarily related to the journalistic job. Like recruiting a spy inside Wagner, milking information that is a secret: locations, personnel or arsenal. It can also be a damageing story, Russias official stance is that Wagner is not controlled by the state.
Is he a spy? Does he become a spy if he is spying?
Anyways we don't know, Russia maybe just wants s prisoner swap, and maybe this journalist was digging in places that he shouldn't have. We arrest Russian and Chinese spies all the time, some of them are working as journalists.
Certainly, a journalist could be an asset or informant or whatever you'd want to call it, for an intelligence service. He's putting himself and his professional reputation at risk though. If the intelligence service wanted x piece of information about whatever, there are simply easier ways to get it. Bribe a Russian.
You don't need to ask the American guy that everyone already knows about and is probably being watched to go look at it for you.
I also haven't heard of any journalists being arrested for espionage in the west.
