Thursday, Nov. 25, 2010 Prime Minister Naoto Kan and his Seoul counterpart, Lee Myung Bak, agree their countries and the United States must work closely to confront any provocations by North Korea, which the previous day shelled a South Korean island in the Yellow Sea, causing four confirmed deaths. The support rate for Prime Minister Naoto Kan's embattled Cabinet falls to a new low of 23.6 percent in a Kyodo News survey, down 9.1 percentage points from the previous poll earlier this month. Growing military tension on the Korean Peninsula poses another major diplomatic challenge for Prime Minister Naoto Kan's Cabinet, and Japan needs to form a firm united front with the United States and South Korea to deal with Pyongyang's provocations, critics say. | TALK TURKEY Nov. 24, 2010 An employee stocks frozen turkeys at Nissin World Delicatessen in Minato Ward, Tokyo, ahead of Thanksgiving Day on Thursday.
