Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi used her first speech to the U.N. to call for an overhaul of the body — including removing a label that China has latched onto in its row with Tokyo that refers to Japan as an "enemy state." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/09/23/japan/politics/japan-takaichi-un-speech-china/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #china #chinajapanrelations #sanaetakaichi #history #wwii #un

Formerly part of Clarence Barracks, an 18th century fortified area providing victualling duties to the Royal Navy, the last remaining part of the structure from its rebuild in 1890 and bomb damage in World War II is these days Portsmouth City Museum.

We're looking at the face of an impressive red brick building across an open space of concrete paths and very dry-looking grass dotted with picnic benches. It's a hot and sunny day although there's a fair bit of white cloud in the deep blue sky. The red brick building is symmetrical, broadly over three storeys in height, but at each end and in the centre, either side of a central, taller section, there are circular towers topped with steep, conical, tiled turrets. Windows line the floors, well spaced-out, sashed, narrow and tall. The central section of the structure has a doorway on the ground floor flanked by pillars which support an angled, bay window area above over two storeys. Within an arched recess above that, in line with the roof area either side of the central towers, there are small windows, and set back from there, rising towards the rear of the building, there is a taller section, higher than the towers although appearing slightly lower from our position this far back and looking up.

An exterior shot of a grand, historic stone building under an overcast, dreary sky. The facade features ornate architectural details, including tall leaded-glass windows, an arched main entrance flanked by stone columns, and a central spired cupola topped with a weather vane. A purple flag flies above the entrance, while a pedestrian wearing a blue jacket walks along the wet sidewalk out front.

Sepia group portrait of four men in traditional Korean clothing and tall black hats, seated and standing around a framed calligraphy piece; the man on the right holds a cane. Overlay text reads “MIN CHUNG SIK,” “A group photo.” and “Min Chung Sik is presumably on the right, holding a cane,” with “WImage from WikiCommons” at bottom left.

The once top-secret abandoned bomb facility hidden in an old slate mine. Step inside the subterranean labyrinth of Llanberis Bomb Store, Wales.

In the 1930s the slate quarry became a vast RAF munitions store.

In January 1942, the roof collapsed burying 14,000 tonnes of bombs (14% of Britain's stock). It took until the 1970s to fully clear the site of bombs.
