The grandchildren of 2 men who experienced both A-bomb attacks 80 years ago now work for peace
HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — When the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, Ari Beser's grandfather was on board both of the American B-29 bombers that carried the weapons. On the ground, Kosuzu Harada's grandfather survived both attacks. Neither of the men — U.S. radar specialist Jacob Beser and Japanese engineer Tsutomu Yamaguchi — met during their lives.

Sony raises its profit forecast after saying it expects less damage from Trump's tariffs
TOKYO (AP) — Japanese entertainment and electronics company Sony said Thursday that its profit surged 23% in the last quarter from the year before, as damage from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs was less than it had expected. The Tokyo-based manufacturer reported its April-June profit totaled 259 billion yen, or $1.8 billion, up from 210 billion yen. Quarterly sales edged up 2% to 2.6 trillion yen ($17.7 billion) as demand grew for games and network services, imaging solutions and sensors. The maker of PlayStation game machines, digital cameras, Walkman audio players and Spider-Man movies said those positive factors offset the negative impact from unfavorable exchanges rates. Sony said its network business also was drawing more subscribers to its online services. Sony raised its forecast for its profit in the full fiscal year until March 2026 to 970 billion yen ($6.6 billion), from an earlier forecast of 930 billion yen ($6.3 billion). The revised projection is still lower than what it earned in the previous fiscal year at 1 trillion yen. Sony now estimates the impact of the additional U.S. tariffs on its operating income at 70 billion yen ($476 million), much better than the initial estimate of 100 billion yen ($680 million). One of the successes among Sony's entertainment franchises was the latest 'Demon Slayer' animation movie, which is part of a hit series and is doing well at the box office.

How India ended up facing steep US tariffs despite its strategic partnership
NEW DELHI (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed additional 25% tariff on India for its purchases of Russian oil, bringing the combined tariffs imposed by the United States on its ally to 50%. India has called the additional tariffs 'unfortunate.' Trump's Wednesday announcement came as India and the U.S. are still negotiating a trade deal that has faced roadblocks after it was first announced when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Trump in Washington earlier this year. It also comes at a time when ties between India and the U.S. appear to have taken a hit even as Modi and Trump share a warm relationship. Here is how India, a strategic partner of the U.S. in Asia, ended up facing steep tariffs: February Trump imposes tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. He initially spares India, despite repeatedly calling the country a 'tariff king,' but threatens that high tariffs are coming. February 14 Modi meets Trump in Washington in an effort to resolve trade concerns. Trump again warns of higher U.S. tariffs on Indian goods. India and the U.S. agree to work on a trade deal and expand bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030. They don't share details as to how the target would be achieved. Modi says he expects a deal to be completed later this year. March 3 India's trade minister, Piyush Goyal, visits Washington and meets his counterparts to initiate negotiations for the bilateral trade agreement. April 21 U.S. Vice President JD Vance meets Modi in New Delhi and says both sides are making progress on trade talks. India and the U.S. also finalize the terms of reference for the trade negotiation, bringing them a step closer to an agreement. May 10 Trump says he stopped military hostilities between India and Pakistan by offering possible trade concessions to both. India is angered by Trump's claims and disputes them. May 17 Trade minister Goyal leads a team of senior Indian officials to Washington for more negotiations. India's commerce secretary says the proposed bilateral trade agreement is progressing 'very well.' June 27 Trump signals a deal may be close. 'We're having some great deals. We have one coming up, maybe with India, a very big one, where we're going to open up India,' he says. July An Indian trade delegation visits Washington for another round of discussions, which end without reaching a breakthrough. July Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Goyal says India is ready to make trade deals in 'the national interest,' but not just to meet deadlines. July 31 Trump imposes 25% tariffs on Indian imports. He warns of further penalties for India because of its buying of Russian oil, and calls its economy 'dead.' August 6 Trump vows an additional 25% import taxes on India to punish the country for its purchases of Russian oil, bringing combined tariffs to 50%. The tariffs are set to go into effect after 21 days.
