Belgian Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne —Reuters file photo BRUSSELS—Guests at Belgian Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne's birthday party on Aug. 14 had a bit too much to drink and peed on a police van parked outside his home. By Thursday, the political hangover had lasted more than three weeks, and Van Quickenborne, 50, was still mopping up the steady drip-drip of revelations. His latest humiliation was being forced to appear before parliament to explain what he knew about 'pipigate,' as the press had gleefully dubbed this episode—or 'pee-gate' in English.

WELLINGTON — Firefighters have served up a cookbook for heavily intoxicated New Zealanders, hoping to stop befuddled chefs from burning down the kitchen. 'You're Cooked' offers recipes for a select audience of Kiwis who are desperate for a bite but too incapacitated to be trusted near an oven or stovetop. The menu—promising 'recipes to cook if you're drunk or high'—features a touch of humor and instructions simple enough for even the most addled of chefs. The idea is to guide woozy cooks toward air fryers, toasters, kettles and microwaves, all of which have timers.

TOKYO -The Bank of Japan is warming to the idea of tweaking its controversial bond yield control policy later this year, but will likely keep settings unchanged at next week's meeting as it awaits more evidence of sustained wage growth, sources say. Kazuo Ueda chairs his first policy meeting since becoming BOJ governor on April 27-28 and his appointment has heightened expectations the bank will begin unwinding its ultra-loose settings – the only question is when. With global recession fears clouding the outlook, there is no consensus within the BOJ on how soon it can end yield curve control (YCC) – a policy that sets a short-term interest rate target of -0.
