Japanese journalist Shiori Itō tells how she pursued her rape case against a prominent TV executive This is the remarkable story of Japanese journalist Shiori Itō, who waived a legal right to anonymity to pursue her rape case against prominent TV news executive Noriyuki Yamaguchi.

When anxiety forced Kathryn Faulke to give up her NHS job and became a care worker, she never thought she would enjoy it. Now, she has written a ‘love story’ of a book about the professionCare work, Kathryn Faulke thought as she scoured job adverts, “is a rubbish job.

There is shockingly bad dialogue and a lot of extras waiting to fall over dead as Eckhart’s killer for hire finds all is not what it seemsThis decidedly shonky, if at least relatively unpretentious, action film stars Aaron Eckhart, once very much the coming man who’s not had the career you would expect for someone with his looks and talent. Eckhart plays a hitman named Evan Shaw; clearly a bit of a dolt, Shaw thinks he works for a super-specialised unit within the CIA that dispatches him to assassinate bad guys by sending him coded messages in the classified ads in newspapers (very retro). Shaw never sees his boss, Kevin (Tim Roth, clearly not taking this seriously) although a flashback reveals they used to have dinner together once in a while.
