Japan, China to hold talks after island row
TOKYO (AP) -- Japan and China are arranging high-level talks to improve their relations hurt by a recent island spat.
Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba said Friday that a Chinese foreign ministry director visited Tokyo on Thursday with his Japanese counterpart seeking ways to calm tension.
It was the first visit by a high-ranking Chinese diplomat since Japan nationalized part of the uninhabited islands in the East China Sea, called Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese. The nationalization sparked violent protests in China.
The two sides agreed to hold vice-ministerial talks as a next round, Gemba said, without giving a timeline.
Tokyo government spokesman Osamu Fujimura said the upcoming meeting marks a beginning of effort toward improved relations through various efforts of communication.

May 22, 2013 22:52 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- An Oklahoma man whose daughter was killed when a tornado struck Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore says she was his "special baby" who made friends with everyone she met.
Joshua Hornsby's 9-year-old daughter JaNae was among seven children killed when the tornado hit the school Monday afternoon. Officials say 10 children in all were among the 24 people killed in the storm.
Hornsby says he drove to the school after hearing a tornado was headed that way but arrived 10 minutes after it struck. He says he also lost his home.
State officials say the damage estimate from the twister that's been rated an EF5 by the National Weather Service could exceed $2 billion.
