TOKYO: -- Japan’s Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko have mourned the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand for three days after hearing the passing of the King on Thursday, according to the Imperial Household Agency.

The Imperial Household Agency said the Emperor and the Empress have been mourning the demise of King Bhumibol since Thursday night, October 13.

The agency said the emperor sent Grand Chamberlain Chikao Kawai to the Royal Thai Embassy in Tokyo on Friday to express their condolences.

The imperial couple heard of the king’s passing on Thursday night after returning to the Imperial Palace from a concert they had attended with Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde.

The emperor and empress had a longtime friendship with the Thai Royal Family during His Majesty’s reign, according to the agency.

King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit visited Japan in 1963 and met with Emperor Hirohito, posthumously called Emperor Showa, and the following year the Japanese imperial couple visited Thailand as crown prince and crown princess on behalf of the emperor.

Jackdaw gas field faces approval battle as winter supply fears grow The company behind the £1.5 billion Jackdaw gas field has warned the UK could face winter gas shortages unless ministers urgently approve production, reigniting the battle between energy security and climate policy. Adura, the joint venture owned by Shell and Norway's Equinor, says the North Sea development is ready to begin supplying gas by 1 October and could provide up to 6% of Britain's gas demand during the colder months.

Farage faces Clacton showdown as rivals refuse to stand Nigel Farage's dramatic gamble to resign as MP and force a by-election has taken another extraordinary twist after Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and Restore Britain all announced they will not contest the seat. The Reform UK leader resigned his Clacton seat insisting voters—not Westminster—should judge the allegations surrounding his finances. If re-elected, Farage says he will return to Parliament with an

He really does not seem to care one iota for people that are not very rich. His lack of willingness to help people that are less fortunate than himself demonstrates that quite frequently. I'm always arguing that this is one of the biggest reasons why a billionaire should never be elected as our leader. Mr. Trump has been openly sabotaging the housing bill since Wednesday, when he abruptly pulled out of a much-anticipated signing ceremony that was set up for him on Capitol Hill. The president
