President Trump's four-day visit to Japan is winding down. He's holding his final joint news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe [[ AH-bay ]] at this hour. A short time ago the two leaders met with a group of people who've had family members abducted by the North Korean regime.

Another horse is dead at California's Santa Anita racetrack, the 26th since December. The latest death, the third in nine days, was a nine-year-old horse who sustained a fatal injury to its leg during a race Saturday. Last weekend, two more horse died from injuries sustained, one during a race and one during training. "Aladdin" is winning the box office race. Disney's live-action version of its 1992 animated feature earned 86-million-dollars in its first weekend in North America's theaters. Coming in second is last week's top movie "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum," which sold just over 24-million-bucks worth of tickets in the U.S. and Canada. In third place is "Avengers: Endgame" with nearly 17-million-dollars.
