South Korean police find no explosives after searching baseball stadium in Seoul because of a bomb threat made against Japanese star Shohei Ohtani
South Korean police said they’ve found no explosives at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome after searching the site Wednesday following a reported bomb threat against Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani.
Police officers said they acted on a tip that there was a threat targeting the Japanese star but didn’t elaborate. Yonhap said the sender of the English-language email claimed to be a Japanese lawyer. Yonhap cited police as suspecting the email might have come from a person who last year allegedly sent a slew of similar threatening emails and faxes while claiming to be a Japanese lawyer.

South Korean doctors face suspensions after protesting against medical school admissions planThe impending suspensions are the punishments against physicians after more than 90% of the country's 13,000 doctors-in-training walked off the job last month to protest the government’s plan to sharply increase medical school admissions. Officials say the recruitment plan is aimed at adding more doctors to prepare for South Korea’s rapidly aging population in a country whose doctor-to-population ratio is one of the lowest in the developed world. But doctors say schools can’t handle an abrupt, steep increase in students, and that it would ultimately undermine the country’s medical services.
