New Japanese minister steps down http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7640197.stm

Japanese Transport Minister Nariaki Nakayama has resigned, just four days after taking the job.

The resignation will be seen as a setback for new Prime Minister Taro Aso, who took office on Wednesday.

Mr Nakayama was criticised over a series of controversial remarks. He called Japan's largest teachers' union a "cancer" in the education system. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7640197.stm
