Japanese woman 'dies from overwork' after logging 159 hours of overtime in a month

Her case triggered a national debate about Japan’s work practices and forced the prime minister, Shinzō Abe, to address a workplace culture that often forces employees to put in long hours to demonstrate their dedication, even if there is little evidence that it improves productivity.

Cat missing in Dubai returns home to the UK

A cat has been reunited with its UK owners more than two months after going missing at Dubai Airport.

Dinky, a ragdoll cat, was supposed to have been loaded on to a plane to return to Northamptonshire with owners Ian and Sue Lees.

However, when they arrived at Gatwick Airport Dinky's cage was empty.

After pleas on social media, Dinky was found at a rescue centre in Dubai. It is believed he escaped at the airport.
