Officials in a Japanese city are banking on robots to boost the confidence of absent pupils. The self-propelling robots will connect to pupils at home, the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper reported. The plan aims to help home-based pupils feel more included and eventually return to school. The Mainichi Shimbun newspaper reported that the initiative was due to involve two meter-high robots, which would be fitted with microphones and a camera to allow for two-way communication. Some schools in the US have also introduced robots on school campuses.

Pictures of two Japanese gates that survived two separate catastrophic events in history are being falsely claimed online to be the same. The caption asks: “What the hell is that arch made of?”However, the pictures were taken in separate locations and show two different arches. Nagasaki is situated in southwest Japan, whereas Otsuchi is more than 1,760 km away via car towards the country’s northwest (shorturl.at/gkDY4). The gates are different and survived two separate Japanese disasters. This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team.

☆ Drunk driving campaign gets motorists tipsy before putting them behind the wheel

Tokyo CNN —Police in Japan have implemented an unusual strategy in order to prevent drunk driving: encouraging people to consume alcohol and then letting them loose on a driving course. Instructors rode in each car during the initiative, which took place inside the driving school, a police spokesperson told CNN. “We hope that more drivers will realize how dangerous drunk driving is,” said the police spokesperson. Alcohol consumption in Japan waned during the pandemic, with restrictions hitting the business of bars and other places selling drinks. In a post on its website in 2021, it called excessive alcohol consumption a “major social problem” that persisted despite the recent slowdown in consumption.

CNN —Visitors to a beach resort city in southwest Japan got a shock on Tuesday when they woke to discover the usually crystal-clear sea had turned an ominous shade of red – after a local brewery sprung a leak. We believe the leaked cooling water flowed into a river through a rain gutter, causing the sea to turn red,” Orion Breweries said. The red seawater is thought to have been caused by a coolant leak at the brewery. News of the red seawater amused some social media users but left others questioning if the water was safe. One Twitter user said crowds of people had gathered to look at the red sea.
