So the news from Japan. Well could there be any more news to fill the airwaves than we have right now? The 7pm NHK news programme is regularly extended until 8pm, and we haven't had that since the release of the detainees from North Korea over a year ago. First the biggest typhoon in a over a decade hit us directly, and then some 500km we have a series of earthquakes which frankly just don't seem to be stopping. Add a real rescue drama to the pot and suddenly the prospect of this poor sod coming to a grisly end gets relegated to a very lowly third in news-pecking order. These are all going to run and run.
