Japan unveils bed wetting alarm device in landmark trial
A Japan Science and Technology Corp backed device uses brain wave and bladder monitoring to trigger an alarm for bed wetting. Developed with Fujitsu affiliate Kanda Tsushin, the $1.5 million system showed 41 of 60 children waking to use the toilet in a six day trial, with 12 showing reduced bed wetting at home. Critics warn it could harm self esteem and medical groups urge caution before Ministry approval.

Israel approves new law on extradition
Israel's parliament repealed a 1978 rule barring extradition of Israeli citizens to other countries. The new law allows extradition of nonresidents while residents can be tried abroad but must return to Israel to serve sentences. It leaves Samuel Sheinbein in Maryland murder case unaffected. The change aims to prevent Israel from becoming a safe haven for criminals and avoids straining U.S. relations further.
