Tropical Storm Shanshan drenches Japan
Tropical Storm Shanshan is lurching its way northeast over western Japan. Weather officials warn it will bring heavy rains and strong winds to many parts of the country into the weekend.
As of Friday afternoon, Shanshan was near Ehime Prefecture in the Shikoku region, travelling at 15 kilometers per hour.
The storm is impacting wide areas. Shizuoka city, southwest of Mount Fuji, has seen over 500 millimeters of rain in the past three days. That's nearly triple that area's monthly average.
A video taken in Kanagawa Prefecture, near Tokyo, shows flooded roads, with waters high enough to almost swallow entire vehicles.
Mudslide alerts are in effect for eight prefectures from Kanto to Kyushu. Officials warn people to protect against landslides, violent winds, overflowing rivers, and storm surges.
They also say eastern and western Japan could see substantial rainfall through to Sunday.

Powerful storm Shanshan kills at least 4, injures over 90
Tropical storm Shanshan, currently moving over southwestern Japan, has killed at least four people and injured more than 90.
Three people died in the central prefecture of Aichi after rainfall triggered a landslide, which struck a house.
Crews managed to rescue two people from the rubble.
In Tokushima Prefecture, a man in his 80s died when the roof of his house collapsed.
Officials in Miyazaki prefecture say they have received over a hundred reports of damage caused by wind, including from at least one tornado that touched down.
Tropical storm Shanshan is disrupting travel including on some of Japan's busiest rail lines as it continues along a northeastern path.
Services on the Tokaido Shinkansen bullet train between Tokyo and Osaka were suspended on Thursday. Services between Osaka and Nagoya resumed Friday morning, although operations from Nagoya to Tokyo will remain suspended throughout the day.
Hundreds of people stranded by the storm were forced to make alternative sleeping arrangements. The bullet train operator set up so-called "train hotels" at stations in Tokyo, Shin-Osaka and Nagoya.
Further west, services on Shinkansen lines linking major cities including Hiroshima and Fukuoka remain suspended, along with all bullet train services in Kyushu.
Major air carriers, including All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines, have cancelled hundreds of flights.

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20240830_02/Japan police: Nearly 4,000 who died alone at home not found for over a month
Japanese police data for the first half of this year has revealed that the bodies of nearly 4,000 people who died alone at home in the country were not discovered for more than a month after their deaths.
The National Police Agency released a report it hopes will help shed more light on the social problem of people who die unattended at home after leading a lonely or isolated life.
The report includes 102,965 individuals on whose bodies police conducted autopsies or other investigations between January and June.
It shows that about 30 percent of them, or 37,227 people, were found dead at home after living alone. Persons aged 65 or older accounted for over 70 percent of that total. The largest group was people 85 years old and above, at 7,498, followed by those aged 75 through 79 at 5,920 and those aged 70 through 74 at 5,635.
About 40 percent, or 14,775 people who died alone at home were found within one day of death. But 3,936 were not discovered until more than 30 days after their deaths, including 130 who were found after at least a year had passed.
The police agency plans to provide the report to a Cabinet Office working group studying how to address the issue of unattended deaths.

The World Health Organization has seen the first case of polio in Gaza in 25 years. On Thursday, the group said Israel and Hamas have agreed on a campaign to allow the vaccination of children throughout the enclave.
The WHO says the deal includes staggered pauses in the fighting in three zones from 6 AM until 3 PM for three days starting on Sunday. It is aiming to vaccinate 640,000 children, although it admits it may not have enough time to do so.
Rik Peeperkorn, a WHO representative in the West bank and Gaza, said: "I'm not going to say this is the ideal way forward. But this is a workable way forward. Not doing anything would be really bad. We have to stop this transmission in Gaza."
Polio is a highly contagious disease that mainly affects children under the age of five. Symptoms include fever, fatigue and pain in the limbs. Infections can lead to paralysis and, in some cases, death. Aid workers blame the resurgence on poor sanitation and the destruction of water supplies.
One resident said her 11-month-old son was diagnosed with polio and treated in the hospital, but he is paralyzed from the waist down.
She said, "I wish my child could have been treated better and will be able to walk again like other children."
The WHO says it hopes all parties will stick to the agreement, as it will need to follow up with a second dose of the vaccine four weeks after the first.

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20240830_15/Putin to visit ICC member country for first time since arrest warrant was served
The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Mongolia next week. The trip will be Putin's first to a member country of the International Criminal Court since the ICC issued an arrest warrant for the president in March last year over suspected war crimes in Ukraine.
The Russian presidential office announced on Thursday that Putin will pay an official visit to Mongolia on September 3 to participate in "the ceremonial events dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the joint victory of the Soviet and Mongolian armed forces" over the now-defunct Imperial Japanese military in 1939.
Mongolia, as an ICC member, is obliged to detain Putin if he sets foot on its soil. However, a prior agreement is believed to have been reached between the two countries for Mongolia not to arrest Putin, given that his visit is reportedly at an invitation by the Mongolian side.
In the lead up to the summit meeting of the BRICS bloc of five emerging economies in August last year in South Africa, an ICC member, there was much speculation about whether Putin would attend. However, he eventually decided against attending in person.
