Brokered by the United Nations and Turkey, the deal was signed in Istanbul last July, allowing Ukraine to export more than 27 million tonnes of grain from several of its Black Sea ports. In the communique after a two-day meeting in Miyazaki, Japan, the G7 agriculture ministers "recognised the importance" of the deal, saying: "We strongly support the extension, full implementation and expansion of (the Black Sea Grain Initiative) BSGI." G7 members "stand ready" to support recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine, including by providing expertise in de-mining of agricultural land and reconstruction of agricultural infrastructure, the document said. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is scheduled to discuss the Ukraine Black Sea grain export deal with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in New York this week.

☆ The people who live inside airplanes

CNN —After losing her house to a fire, Jo Ann Ussery had a peculiar idea: to live in an airplane. She bought an old Boeing 727 that was destined for the scrapyard, had it shipped to a plot of land she already owned, and spent six months renovating, doing most of the work by herself. By the end, she had a fully functional home, with over 1,500 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and even a hot tub – where the cockpit used to be. Although she wasn’t the first person to ever live in an airplane, her flawless execution of the project had an inspirational effect. Maybe the worst choice for a home.”As a result, Campbell had to work on the plane for a couple of years before being able to live in it.

GETTING TO the Milkweed Inn, run by chef Iliana Regan and her sommelier wife, Anna Hamlin, is not easy. The drive from Chicago to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula takes six hours, ultimately on rutted dirt roads deep inside the Hiawatha National Forest. And that’s if you’re able to get a room in the first place. The 2023 season and much of 2024’s are already sold out. There is some consolation, however, for fans who have followed Ms. Regan’s career from her Michelin-starred Chicago restaurant, Elizabeth, now closed, through her 2019 memoir, “Burn the Place,” an unflinching account of her farmhouse upbringing, her grappling with addiction and gender identity, and her emergence as a chef: Her new book, “Fieldwork” (Agate Midway), comes out Jan. 24.

Instead, he bought a used iPhone SE 2 in Tokyo's Akihabara electronics district for less than a third of that. "At more than 100,000 yen the iPhone 14 is too expensive and I just can't afford it. But in an annual regulatory filing last month, it said Japan sales fell 9% in the year ended September 24 due to the yen's weakness. With Japan open again to foreign tourists, the secondhand iPhone market is getting another boost.

TOKYO — A tropical storm that dumped heavy rain as it cut across Japan moved into the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday after killing two and injuring more than 100, paralyzing traffic and leaving thousands of homes without power. New damage was reported in southern Japan, where Typhoon Nanmadol hit over the weekend before weakening as it moved north. On Tanegashima island, south of Kyushu island, a wall was damaged at a Japan Aerospace and Exploration Agency space center, the Economy and Industry Ministry said. Two deaths were reported in Miyazaki prefecture on Japan’s southern main island of Kyushu on Monday, when the storm was more powerful, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said. One man was found in a car sunk in a flooded farm in Miyakonojo town, and another was found underneath a landslide in Mimata.

Desenele animate create de Hayao Miyazaki vor fi difuzate timp de două luni pe platforma NetflixCompania Netflix, un gigant american al industriei de streaming, va putea să difuzeze pe platforma sa online, accesibilă de pe mai multe continente, capodopere animate ale regizorului japonez Hayao Miyazaki, precum „Spirited Away”, „Princess Mononoke” şi „My Neighbor Totoro”, informează AFP. Grupul american a anunţat într-un comunicat că a semnat un acord care îi oferă acces la un catalog cu 21 de filme produse de Studio Ghibli, pe care le va difuza începând cu 1 februarie în ţările unde platforma este activă, cu excepţia a trei teritorii: Statele Unite, Canada şi Japonia. Printre aceste pelicule se află câteva filme cult, precum „Spirited Away”, ce descrie parcursul oniric al unei fetiţe care plonjează într-un univers fantastic populat de spirite şi „Princess Mononoke”, ce prezintă povestea unei prinţese crescute de o lupoaică, în care imaginarul se combină cu tradiţiile japoneze, incluzând teme contemporane, precum ecologia şi antimilitarismul. Cele 21 de filme de animaţie vor fi disponibile online până la data de 1 aprilie 2020. Acest acord permite Studioului Ghibli să completeze difuzarea internaţională a catalogului său în streaming după ce, la sfârşitul anului 2019, a semnat deja un acord şi pentru segmentul TV ce acoperă teritoriul Statelor Unite, cu serviciul HBO Max al grupului Warner Media.
