"On January 8 a South Korean central district court in Seoul ruled that Japan should compensate 12 Korean women forced into a system of sexual slavery set up and operated by the Japanese Imperial Army from 1932 to 1945, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The ruling, which states that Tokyo should pay each plaintiff around $90,000 USD, was rejected out of hand by the Japanese government, further straining ties between the two key U.S. allies.
