Washington-area station 7News (WJLA) is running a poll asking whether prosecutors should consider immigration consequences when deciding what charges to bring against suspects.

Responses and debate are circulating around the poll.

Keio Electric Railway, a major private railway operator in Tokyo, has been hit by a ransomware attack that disrupted its payment and settlement systems. The company says train operations themselves were not affected, and services continue to run normally while it deals with the cyberattack. The incident adds to a string of ransomware attacks on Japanese organisations, drawing attention to the vulnerability of critical transport infrastructure.
