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.

Okla. governor signs abortion bill, 20 other bills
May 24, 2013 21:20 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has signed legislation that requires abortion providers to take additional steps to notify the parents of a minor who is seeking an abortion.

The measure was among 21 bills Fallin signed into law on Friday, when the Legislature planned to adjourn its 2013 legislative session.

The bill prohibits a minor from getting an abortion until at least 48 hours after written notice has been provided to her parent or guardian, except in cases of a medical emergency. In that case, the physician must verbally inform a parent within 24 hours after the abortion and send a written notice to the parent's last known address.

The bill includes an exemption for girls who are the victims of sexual or physical abuse.
