REFUGEES - Offshore and off limits: Australia's refugee centers

For four years now, Australia has been sending a message out to the world: "If you come to Australia illegally by boat, there is no way you will make Australia home."
The refugees who cannot be turned or towed back are taken into custody. Since the so-called processing centres on the islands of Manus and Nauru opened in 2012, nearly 2,000 people have been held there and only 60 have made it out. In those four years, not a single journalist has made it in.
Australia's offshore 'processing centers for asylum seekers are shrouded in secrecy and are completely off limits to the media.
Permission to visit the island centres is almost non-existent - some journalists have even reported being chased away at gunpoint after arriving in Papua New Guinea.
Journalists rely on news that has trickled out of the camps for information.
But penalties for the whistleblowers feeding stories to journalists are stiff, reinforcing the media blackout shrouding the asylum centers and the macabre stories about the treatment of refugees within.
The Australian Federal Police have been known to spend hours researching, intimidating and harassing journalists who have worked with whistleblowers in order to reveal their sources.

TORONTO - Rats on the rise in the city

Several exterminators say the number of rats in Toronto is on the rise and one pest control officer is blaming the rodent population boom on a combination of construction projects in the city and the mild winter. Avery Addison, general manager of Addison Pest Control, says his company has received 10 times the number of rat removal calls this year as compared to the same time last year. Many have been residential calls.

"We are seeing a lot of rats this season. It seems to be far worse than recent years," he said. "I think part of the increase could be due to warmer year we've had." Addison said warmer conditions mean the rats have more time to find food, eat and reproduce. "The extreme cold can kill them off."

He said construction projects can displace large numbers of rats, particularly if an old building that contains a rat population is torn down. He said the Union Station renovation, for example, dispersed "huge numbers" into the city.

JAPAN - Weight-er! Japan’s first naked restaurant rejects overweight diners

Japan’s first naked restaurant to be opened in Tokyo next month has issued a disclaimer warning that obese clients would be denied service and not admitted in the first place. And no tattoos, please.

The Amrita (‘Immortality’ in Sanskrit) restaurant opening July 29 is follows the trend set by other ‘naked’ restaurants in London and Melbourne, but sets stricter rules for its customers.

“If you are more than 15 kilos [33lb] above the average weight for your height, we ask you refrain from making a reservation,” regulations published on restaurant’s website say. The guests who look overweight will be asked to go to the scales, the rules maintain, advising that you should weigh yourself ahead of dining at Amrita.

Reservations are made online and the restaurant insists all payments to be made in advance. In case a client is denied entry because of being overweight, no refund would be made for a ticket priced up to 80,000 yen (US$750).
