Car boss won't face the music: Former Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn flees £65million corruption charges in Japan by sneaking out of the country locked inside a musical instrument caseCarlos Ghosn managed to flee from underneath noses of Japanese authoritiesThe 65-year-old was awaiting trial in Tokyo over £65million corruption chargesEven his lawyer, Junichiro Hironaka, said he was 'dumbfounded' by the events By James Salmon for the Daily Mail Published: 23:18 GMT, 31 December 2019 | Updated: 23:22 GMT, 31 December 2019 e-mail View comments A disgraced former car industry titan was last night suspected of hiding in a double bass case to escape house arrest in Japan before fleeing to Lebanon in a private jet. In an astonishing plot twist worthy of a James Bond blockbuster, Carlos Ghosn, the former boss of Nissan and Renault, managed to flee from underneath the noses of Japanese authorities. The 65-year-old, who was awaiting trial in Tokyo over £65million corruption charges, disappeared from his luxury apartment in the Japanese capital despite it being under surveillance. Stringent conditions on his freedom, such as a £10million bail payment and handing in his three passports, seem to have made no difference as Mr Ghosn flew into Beirut unchallenged, claiming not to have escaped but to have fled 'injustice and political persecution'. Ghosn and second wife, Carole, celebrate their 2016 wedding with her children Tara, Daniel and Anthony Speculation emerged in the Lebanese media that the diminutive Mr Ghosn, thought to be around 5ft 7in, was wheeled out of the property in a box for 'a large musical instrument', such as a double bass or drum. A Gregorian music band were seen entering his apartment on Sunday, apparently to set up ahead of a New Year's Eve performance. There was speculation others who entered posing as band members may have actually been members of a security firm which aided Mr Ghosn's journey. Glamour: Gho..

Luxury homes and Versailles wedding that led to downfall: RUTH SUNDERLAND examines the series of events that brought down former Nissan and Renault boss Carlos GhosnBy Ruth Sunderland for the Daily Mail Published: 23:20 GMT, 31 December 2019 | Updated: 23:21 GMT, 31 December 2019 e-mail View comments The story of Carlos Ghosn is one of hubris followed by nemesis – and, as rumours swirl that he made his escape from Japan hidden inside an instrument case, a tinge of black comedy. In his pomp, the 65-year-old led a motor-manufacturing empire that included the Japanese giants Nissan and Mitsubishi, along with Renault of France. He enjoyed all the trappings of a globe-trotting executive. Multi-million-pound pay packet? Tick. Travel by private jet? Tick. Blonde, couture-clad second wife? Tick. He also availed himself of a string of luxury homes, which would figure heavily in his eventual downfall. But this seemingly charmed life came to an abrupt end in November 2018 after his Gulfstream jet was swarmed by Japanese prosecutors when it landed at Tokyo airport. Former Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn (pictured last year) said he had fled to Lebanon to escape injustice in Japan, where he was on bail awaiting trial on financial misconduct charges Instead of savouring the meal he'd planned with one of his daughters, Maya, and her boyfriend at a Michelin-starred sushi restaurant, he found himself bundled off to a tiny cell. Ghosn achieved the remarkable feat of becoming a hero in Japan, where foreign business leaders are a rare breed. He was drafted in to rescue Nissan in 1999, which at the time was groaning under debts amounting to billions of yen. After he helped to orchestrate a bailout by Renault, the two car-makers embarked on a partnership, later joined by Mitsubishi. Ghosn chaired all three. Aspiring salarymen imitated his suits and shades and the Emperor Akihito gave him a blue ribbon medal, the first time it had been awarded to a foreign business leader. In the U..

Inside the live-longer isle: Centenarians abound in Dominica thanks to its healthy diet, glorious climate - and a pace of life that would make anyone want to live for everDominica was chosen as the location for the Pirates Of The Caribbean films At the last count there were 27 centenarians there — nearly 4 per 10,000 peopleMark Porter paid the island a visit, in search of the font of wellness By Mark Porter For The Daily Mail Published: 13:44 GMT, 28 December 2019 | Updated: 13:44 GMT, 28 December 2019 e-mail View comments Perhaps living to a ripe old age is your aim. Then why not leave your medicine chest behind and move to Dominica? This Caribbean island has the highest number of centenarians in the world, and it was from here that the oldest person ever hailed. Born in 1875, Ma Pampo died in 2003, aged 128. She didn’t retire until she was 104. Her next-door neighbour was 118, and at one stage there were four centenarians in the same street. At the last count there were 27 centenarians — that’s nearly four per 10,000 of population, 50 per cent higher than the next old-age market leader, Japan, and three times as many as in Britain and the U.S. Dominica, pictured, has the highest number of centenarians in the world, and it was from here that the oldest person ever hailed With this in mind, I took myself off to the so-called Nature Isle of the Caribbean to sample a lifestyle that has thus far eluded me. Dominica, a 290-square-mile parcel of perfection, is one of those places so blessed with natural looks that it was chosen as the location for the Pirates Of The Caribbean films, and outshone Johnny Depp as the star. And from this fertile soil springs one of the main sources of longevity: a healthy diet. You can practically hear the plants growing. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 2 Next Berlin for under £100 a night!

'Ghost boat' washes ashore in Japan carrying two heads and five skeletons 'of North Koreans desperate to escape Kim Jong-Un's evil regime'Police discovered the remains of five people on the coast of Sado island, Japan The dismembered heads of two people, and five bodies were found in a boatAuthorities are yet to confirm whether the heads belong to the torsos Gruesome haul was found in a wooden ship with North Korean writing on it By Ryan Fahey For Mailonline Published: 12:32 GMT, 28 December 2019 | Updated: 12:36 GMT, 28 December 2019 e-mail View comments Japanese police found the remains of at least five people in a wooden boat suspected to be from North Korea on the coast of one of Japan's outlying islands on Saturday, a Coast Guard official said. Police made the discovery in the wooden boat's stem around 9:30 am (00:30 GMT) on Saturday on Sado island, which is off the coast of Japan's northwestern prefecture of Niigata, Coast Guard official Kei Chinen said. Police found the heads of two persons, as well as five bodies, Chinen said, adding that the cause of death is under investigation.

North Korea missile launch scare: Japanese broadcaster sparks false alarm by reporting 'Christmas surprise' then retracting it minutes laterBy Tim Stickings For Mailonline Published: 15:58 GMT, 26 December 2019 | Updated: 16:04 GMT, 26 December 2019 e-mail View comments A Japanese broadcaster sparked a false alarm on the Korean peninsula today by mistakenly reporting a North Korean missile launch. NHK's Boxing Day news alert claimed that a missile had landed in the Pacific Ocean 1,200 miles of Hokkaido, Japan. It appeared to confirm fears of a North Korean 'Christmas surprise' which Pyongyang had warned was coming. But the Japanese network retracted the claim just minutes later. A Japanese broadcaster sparked a false alarm on the Korean peninsula today by mistakenly reporting a North Korean missile launch (pictured: Pyongyang strongman Kim Jong-un) Christmas Day had passed without incident despite Pyongyang's warnings of a 'gift' to America, possibly a new long-range missile test. President Trump had laughed off the warning on Christmas Eve, saying that North Korean strongman Kim Jong-un could have been planning to give him a 'nice present' such as a 'beautiful vase'. Nuclear talks between the US and North Korea have been stalled since a February summit between Trump and Kim fell apart. More to follow.

Beauty Therapy: These glow-getters won’t disappointBy Edwina Ings-chambers For You Magazine Published: 00:02 GMT, 22 December 2019 | Updated: 00:02 GMT, 22 December 2019 e-mail View comments My complexion loves them – and yours will, too My complexion loves them The following anecdote is not intended to be remotely boastful but recently I lost track of the number of compliments I was receiving about my skin. Even people who are not remotely prone to remark on my complexion started dropping it into conversation and asking what I was doing. The answer – and the only thing that I was doing differently – was that I was trialling Shiseido Future Solution LX Legendary Enmei Ultimate Luminance Serum. This stuff lives up to its name. I radiated dewy glowishness for weeks on end. It was as though someone had switched on a light deep in my epidermis. More than that, my skin felt firmer, looked plumper. I just looked fresher all round. Now all of this is thanks to some Shiseido research and ingredients such as the enmei herb in its name (harvested at the foot of a sacred mountain in Japan – really! – and hand-picked on an auspicious day, it’s known for its powers of renewal). The serum also, and here’s the catch, comes with a hefty price tag: £395 for 30ml. Using it twice a day, it lasted me for about two months. Now I’m not saying that you have to pay a fortune to find good skincare. But I also can’t deny that this serum worked brilliantly and my face looked much better for it. Besides, sometimes it’s nice to have a bit of full-on luxury. It smells good, too – rose, plum blossom and lotus – because of the brand’s belief in the beneficial power of fragrance. And if I was going to really splurge (or ask someone else to) on a skincare product this would be it. Shiseido Future Solution LX Legendary Enmei Ultimate Luminance Serum and Wildsmith Active Repair Platinum Booster Since I’m on the luxury track – and if you’re looking to splash out on some gifting – then I’ve als..

'It went from a tight calf to a cancer scare': Dan Robson is happy to be fit and firing after a horror year dashed his World Cup hopesRobson has not felt sorry for himself about his medical emergencyRobson missed out on place in England's World Cup during the summer A calf strain turned out to be DVT, which had spread from his leg to his lungs He will play for Wasps against Harlequins in front of a big crowd on Saturday By Chris Foy for the Daily Mail Published: 22:31 GMT, 20 December 2019 | Updated: 22:33 GMT, 20 December 2019 e-mail View comments Dan Robson would be entitled to harbour a sense of injustice but he does not. A ‘freak’ case of deep vein thrombosis undermined his World Cup hopes, but it didn’t end his career — and the scare gave him fresh perspective. On Saturday, the Wasps scrum-half will play against Harlequins in front of a big crowd at the Ricoh Arena, in a crucial Premiership fixture for his club. He may not have made it to Japan with the national team, but he is back doing what he loves. Robson, 27, has not felt sorry for himself about the medical emergency which halted his involvement in England’s last Six Nations campaign. He recognises that it could have been far worse. Wasps scrum-half Dan Robson will play against Harlequins in front of a big crowd on Saturday A week ago, club-mate Alex Rieder was forced to retire prematurely, following a long and painful battle to recover from a savage knee injury. Last year Sam Jones, another Wasps back-rower, had to quit after failing to recover from breaking his right leg and ankle. So, Robson sees his own glass half-full but it was still quite some ordeal. A calf strain turned out to be DVT, which had spread from his lower leg to his lungs. He was told that he shouldn’t have even been walking, let alone running around at Twickenham, belatedly winning his first two Test caps. The 27-year-old has not felt sorry for himself about the medical emergency in the summer He was also warne..

Families that eat out at restaurants and consume large amounts of sweets and alcohol are likely to have a higher carbon footprint than MEAT eaters, study claimsExperts studied the carbon footprints of around 60,000 Japanese householdsMany families in Japan have gone vegan to reduce their carbon emissionsHowever, meat was found less impactful than eating out, sweets and alcoholThe findings highlight the dietary changes needed to combat climate changeBy Ian Randall For Mailonline Published: 16:03 GMT, 20 December 2019 | Updated: 16:05 GMT, 20 December 2019 e-mail View comments Families that often dine out and consume large quantities of sweets and alcohol are likely to have a higher carbon footprint than meat eaters, a study claims. Researchers came to this conclusion after studying the food habits and carbon footprints of around 60,000 households across Japan. They found that meat consumption typically only accounts for only 10 per cent of the different in environmental impact between low and high carbon households. In contrast, households with high carbon footprints typically consumed around two to three times more sweets and alcohol than those with low footprints Based on their findings, the team are now advising people to cut down their intake of these products to help save the planet. Scroll down for video Families in Japan that often dine out and consume large quantities of sweets and alcohol are likely to have a higher carbon footprint than meat eaters, a study claims Economist Keiichiro Kanemoto of Japan's Research Institute for Humanity and Nature and colleagues surveyed the food supply chain and consumption habits of around 60,000 households from across Japan's 47 prefectures. The researchers found that the levels of meat consumption were largely constant from household-to-households, but their carbon footprints varied considerably — with other foodstuffs appearing more responsible.

Transgender AFL player vents her fury after being kicked out of Australia's women's handball team because other players 'didn't want to get changed and shower with her'Hannah Mouncey played men's handball but didn't qualify for the women's teamThe 30-year-old claimed an official said she wasn't picked because she isn't likedHandball Australia denied the allegations to Daily Mail AustraliaThe transgender athlete was rejected from the women's AFL team in 2018By Charlotte Karp For Daily Mail Australia Published: 02:50 GMT, 20 December 2019 | Updated: 02:50 GMT, 20 December 2019 e-mail View comments Transgender athlete Hannah Mouncey, 30, was previously rejected from women's AFL because of her testosterone levels Transgender athlete Hannah Mouncey has slammed the Australian women's handball team for omitting her from the world championships because other players didn't want to get changed with her. The 30-year-old was thrust into the spotlight in 2018 after she was rejected from the women's AFL team because tests showed she had too much testosterone to qualify for the female leagues. Mouncey, who previously represented the nation in men's handball, has since helped the Australian women's handball team qualify for the world championship. The international competition was held in Japan in December last year, but Mouncey wasn't selected to compete. In an explosive post for the Star Observer earlier this month, Mouncey vented her fury and claimed she was excluded because some players felt uncomfortable with her using the women's bathrooms.
