BBC在线收听下载:特朗普结束日本的访问之旅

Hello, I'm Neil Nunes with the BBC News.

A man armed with a knife has attacked a group of school girls as they waited for a bus in Japan, killing at least one child and one adult. Police say he has died after stabbing himself in the neck. The motive for the attack is unclear. From Tokyo, here's Howard Griffiths.

There is still some confusion in terms of the identity of the victims and their ages. The latest we're told is that one school child, a school girl and a man in his thirties are the deceased that there's at least a dozen other people, children and adults injured and that the man accused of carrying out this attack has himself died from self-inflicted wounds. We know that this happened as children and adults were queuing for a bus on a street corner in Kawasaki and the attacker came at them with possibly two knives, both at the queue and then boarding the bus.

Donald Trump has completed a four-day visit to Japan with addresses to troops on board Japanese and the American warships. Speaking at the Yokosuka naval base, he praised the strength of the military alliance between the two countries. There is no sign that any progress was made during Mr. Trump's trip to resolve trade disagreements.

Authorities in the northern state of Amazonas said prisoners were not rioting against the management, instead, they were fighting each other. So far, all those confirmed dead were prisoners, in one of the prisons near the state capital manor house, inmates were killed during visiting hours and some of them in front of their own relatives. Brazilian prisons are often controlled by criminal gangs and it is common for violence to erupt between rival factions. In 2017, a riot in Amazonas left fifty-six inmates dead.
