VOV1 - Một sự cố hy hữu xảy ra tại sân bay Fukuoka, Nhật Bản, khi một phương tiện mặt đất va chạm với một máy bay chở khách. Rất may không có thương vong nào từ vụ việc.Theo thông tin từ đơn vị vận hành sân bay Fukuoka và hãng hàng không Nhật Bản All Nippon Airways (ANA), vào khoảng 10 giờ sáng nay (14/09, theo giờ địa phương), một phương tiện mặt đất được trang bị cầu thang dành cho hành khách lên xuống máy bay đã va chạm với phần đuôi một máy bay chở khách của ANA đang chờ trước nhà ga nội địa tại sân bay Fukuoka.Chiếc xe thang được xác nhận trong lúc cố gắng di chuyển qua phía sau máy bay đã vô tình va quệt vào phần đuôi của phi cơ. Tại thời điểm xảy ra va chạm, chiếc máy bay này đã cho toàn bộ hành khách lên máy bay và đang chuẩn bị cất cánh đến sân bay New Chitose ở Hokkaido. Rất may, vụ việc không làm ai bị thương vong, nhưng chuyến bay này đã phải hủy bỏ để kiểm tra an toàn kỹ thuật. Hãng ANA sau đó cũng đã nhanh chóng sắp xếp cho các hành khách chuyển sang một chuyến bay thay thế khác.Đơn vị điều hành sân bay Fukuoka cũng cho biết thêm, vụ va chạm không ảnh hưởng đến hoạt động của các chuyến bay khác tại sân bay./.Ngọc Huân/ VOV Nhật BảnChiếc máy bay chở khách của ANA bị va chạm với một phương tiện mặt đất tại thời điểm máy bay chuẩn bị cất cánh - Ảnh: NHK

Jonny and Ben were joined by a pair of our correspondents on this episode, after their sides notched first wins of the new season on Saturday night, after both had endured a rough start to the campaign. First up is Ralf Seidl on Urawa, who downed Yokohama F.Marinos 3-2 at home (to 22:15), then Jamie Meikle hops on to discuss Kyoto's win over Fukuoka, and their mass signings of Brazilians ahead of a first ACL Elite campaign (to 42:25). As mentioned at the end of Part 2, please check out Jamie's terrific You Tube channel, Soccer Bunka. Then in Part 3, Jonny and Ben run through the other results, including Kawasaki also winning for the first time, and Kashiwa and Kashima staying perfect, before we wrap things up with a couple of cupsets from the Emperor's Cup last midweek, and look ahead to the next two rounds of fixtures.

Dans cet épisode, je discute avec Rosette Marescotti, co-auteure de l'Humanitude aux côtés d'Yves Gineste, et Annie de Vivy, responsable du déploiement du réseau Humanitude en France et à l'international, à l'occasion de la sortie du film « Soudain ».Réalisé par le cinéaste japonais Ryusuke Amaguchi, avec Virginie Effira dans le rôle d'une directrice d'EHPAD, ce film raconte (entre autres) comment une directrice cherche à déployer la démarche Humanitude dans son établissement.Ryusuke Amaguchi a découvert l'Humanitude via un livre au Japon, avant de se former auprès d'Yves Gineste. Il a ensuite mené des recherches approfondies auprès des équipes soignantes pour livrer un film au plus près du réel.Rosette et Annie reviennent sur les coulisses de ce tournage pas comme les autres : la formation des acteurs et techniciens, le coaching sur les scènes de soin, et la manière dont le film aborde frontalement les difficultés du changement en institution (coût des formations, résistances culturelles, épuisement professionnel), sans jamais être plombant.Au cours de notre échange, nous abordons notamment :La genèse du projet et la formation de Ryusuke Amaguchi à l'Humanitude, au Japon puis en France ;L'intrigue du film : une directrice d'EHPAD qui veut « rendre possible l'impossible », et la définition de la bientraitance comme fait de rester « une personne jusqu'au bout de la vie » ;Le coaching des acteurs par Rosette Marescotti et Yves Gineste pendant deux jours de tournage, dont Virginie Effira, et les retours immédiats des acteurs qui ont réutilisé les techniques Humanitude... jusque dans leur vie de parents ;Le réalisme du film, jugé très fidèle au vécu des établissements labellisés, à quelques exceptions de mise en scène près ;La comparaison du déploiement de l'Humanitude entre la France et le Japon, notamment à Fukuoka, où la mairie forme pompiers, enseignants et aidants à la méthode ;Les événements à venir autour du film : projections en salle, webinaire avec Makesense le 11 septembre, Assises des EHPAD, Assises du Bien Vieillir à Arras, Universités d'été de l'Espace Éthique à Dijon, et le colloque annuel sur les approches non médicamenteuses les 12 et 13 novembre.L'objectif affiché : prouver que l'Humanitude n'est pas de la science-fiction, et changer le regard porté sur les EHPAD et les métiers du soin.Pour aller plus loin : https://www.agevillage.com/, https://www.agevillagepro.com/, le site du label Humanitude, https://www.lelabelhumanitude.fr/, et l'association Assumevie (délivrance du label).---Pour sensibiliser simplement l'ensemble de votre équipe aux thématiques essentielles des ESSMS, découvrez la plateforme Mana-Care :https://mana-care.comModules courts à distance, QCM, attestations et suivi des participations.Hébergé par Ausha.

After spending two months in India, I landed in Japan craving one thing: a warm bowl of udon. I'm originally from Kagawa, known as Udon-ken (Udon Prefecture — where udon is practically a way of life), but these days I live in Fukuoka, the city famous around the world for tonkotsu ramen. Here's the surprising part: when I asked people here "udon or ramen?" — the answers weren't what you'd expect from the ramen capital of Japan.In this episode, I take you through Fukuoka's udon culture — the famously soft noodles that locals joke "never run out," the sweet and savory niku udon made with Kyushu's distinctive soy sauce, gobo-ten (burdock root tempura — the topping you'll find everywhere here), and my slightly embarrassing but genius way of ordering at a local udon chain. I also finally share something I was too nervous to talk about while living in Kagawa: what udon really means to people from the Udon Prefecture.

Two back to back conversations with first-time buyers - one looking for a single family holiday home in or around Tokyo - the other for an investment condo in Fukuoka. We break down costs, listings research, due diligence, purchase procedures and post-settlement management options.
What do you do when you're offered an opportunity that will definitely stretch you but also scares you, and your first instinct is to hand it to someone else, because you feel you're not quite qualified? That's the moment we unpack in this interview with Ai Asakura, Alumni Program Manager for the TOMODACHI Initiative at the U.S.-Japan Council, who I met at an expat meetup in Fukuoka this spring — one with that same eclectic, cross-cultural energy as New York City, where you connect peer to peer with people from all walks of life. Ai is bicultural like me, and she's spent her career building bridges — between Japan and the U.S., and between mentees and the mentors who help shape their paths. But it took her some time to recognize being bicultural as her own superpower, and when she did, it empowered her to say yes to an opportunity most people would've handed to someone with a bigger title.Key TakeawaysLeadership is not a job title: You can be a leader as a mentor, a community organizer, a parent, or a volunteer—impact and initiative matter more than status.Networking is people-to-people connection, not transaction: Powerful “networking” often looks like simply being curious about others and building genuine human relationships.Bicultural identity is a superpower: Living between cultures, as Ai does between Japan and the U.S., creates unique insight, empathy, and the ability to act as a bridge.Opportunities often arrive through community: Ai's major career transitions—from hospitality to translation to TOMODACHI—came through relationships and community involvement.Saying yes can be the real “risky conversation”: Accepting the invitation to represent her region as a mentor felt risky to Ai, but turning it down would have meant betraying the message she gives her mentees about stepping up.Operation TOMODACHI to TOMODACHI Initiative: The humanitarian response to the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake evolved into a long-term leadership and exchange program impacting over 10,000 alumni.Exposure to hope changes trajectories: Young people from disaster-affected regions returned from U.S. programs with renewed hope, agency, and a desire to rebuild their communities.Community work can clarify your own identity: Serving Japanese communities in the U.S. helped Ai reconnect to her Japanese roots and recognize her role as a cultural bridge.Curiosity is a core leadership habit: Being genuinely interested in people—their stories, cultures, and experiences—naturally expands your world and your opportunities.There is still hope in the world: Despite global uncertainty, Ai emphasizes that human-to-human connection, especially across cultures, is a powerful source of hope.FeaturedConnect with Ai Asakura on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ai-asakura0977/Learn about the US-Japan Council: https://www.usjapancouncil.org/Connect with Jamie Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leejieunjamie/Learn about 1:1 executive coaching with Jamie Lee here: https://www.jamieleecoach.com/applyText me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show?
