JAPAN: Government history changes infuriates residents
Updated
Lawmakers from Japan's southern island of Okinawa are furious at a government decision to tone down part of its wartime history. A resolution urges the scrapping of accounts that fanatical soldiers ordered civilians to commit suicide on Okinawa - the site of one of world war two's bloodiest battles. In March, the education ministry also ordered publishers of high school textbooks to modify their descriptions of the suicides.
Presenter: Rob Sharp
Speakers: Suzuyo Takazato, former Okinawa congresswoman and co-chair of Okinawan Women Against Military Violence
