TOKYO (AP) — Japan announced Friday that its seafood exports have resumed for the first time since China imposed a ban over the discharge of treated radioactive wastewater from the tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant more than two years ago.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara told reporters that 6 metric tons (6.6 tons) of scallops harvested in Hokkaido were shipped to China on Wednesday, the first shipment to that country since Beijing banned all Japanese seafood in August 2023.

Beijing announced in June that it would ease the ban and prepare for the resumption of imports, following repeated negotiations between the two sides.

The wastewater discharges from the Fukushima Daiichi plant — debated for years at home over concern about the reputational damage to the region and its local produce — had also become a major political issue between Japan and its neighbors, including China and South Korea.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The grim task of finding and identifying victims from the firestorm that followed a UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky, entered a third day Thursday as investigators gathered information to determine why the aircraft caught fire and lost an engine on takeoff.

The inferno consumed the enormous plane and spread to nearby businesses, killing at least 12 people, including a child and three UPS crew on the plane, and ending any hope of finding survivors in the crash at UPS Worldport, the company’s global aviation hub.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg described the scene as “horrific,” with charred, mangled metal and “still some smoke rising from piles of debris.” Part of the plane's tail, he said, appeared to be sticking out of a storage silo.

“You hear people say, ‘Oh, you only see that in the movies.’ This was worse than the movies,” Greenberg told reporters.

The University of Manitoba launched a new centre on Tuesday that aims to get people thinking differently about business.

The Chiu Centre for Business Serving Community at the I.H. Asper School of Business will “foster cultural change in capitalism through research, training and promoting business models that address social and ecological crises facing humanity,” the Winnipeg-based university announced in a news release.

The centre was made possible because of a $5.4 million donation from Eleanor and Wayne Chiu, Calgary-based founders of Trico Homes and the Trico Charitable Foundation. Wayne Chiu is a U of M alumnus.

Business Prof. Bruno Dyck has been named the inaugural director of the centre.
