'I enjoyed the evening with her, and she’s really a lovely woman' Japanese first lady Akie Abe  REUTERS Donald Trump  appears to have been ignored by the Japanese first lady at the final dinner at the G20 summit in Hamburg.

August 15 marked the 72nd anniversary of the end of the Second World War. On the occasion, Japan remembered the 2.3 million Japanese military personnel and military employees and 800,000 Japanese civilians who died between the start of the  Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937  and the end of World War II in 1945. Japan's annual commemoration of the end of the war shows that, seven decades on, there is no clear political consensus in Japan about how to remember the war. Some remember the 3.1 million dead while seeming to avoid the context of the war in which they died, while others are committed to preserving the memory of how destructive war can be, and the need for Japan to continue to embrace pacifism. More than 6,200 people attended a memorial service at the  Nippon Budokan  sports arena in Tokyo, which featured remarks by Prime Minister Abe Shinzo and Japanese Emperor Akihito.  Abe's words  were notable i...
