Iraq s health minister resigns after deadly hospital blaze(May 4): more than 80 patients died, 110 were injured. The authorities must investigate the real cause and make sure this never happens again. Whoever is guilty should be punished. Human lives won’t come back, whatever compensation is given to grieving families. However, I applaud the minister s resignation on moral grounds.

IPL cricket is suspended – why did it take so long?(May 4): at one time, cricket used to be a gentleman’s game. It is heartbreaking to see the situation in India right now.

In a recent episode of the Netflix documentary series
Unsolved Mysteries, residents of Japan’s Tohoku region describe their encounters with spirits in the wake of one of the greatest tragedies to befall the island nation. On this day 10 years ago, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake – the strongest ever recorded in Japan – and a resulting tsunami killed nearly 20,000 people in the areas surrounding the country s eastern coast, displacing hundreds of thousands of others and destroying livelihoods, property and infrastructure.
Tsunami Spirits is a gripping 48-minute documentary that is interspersed with spine-chilling re-enactments of “ghost sightings”. It is thought-provoking, as you hear both sides of an oft-made argument: do spirits really exist or are they simply paranormal sightings made by those undergoing trauma? But for the most part, it is a melancholic story of a largely rural part of Japan that has been left depressed and, yes, haunted by the March 11, 2011 disaster.
