Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ From foreign press A woman has been arrested in Japan for sneaking into a man's house and living in his wardrobe without him knowing. Police found 58-year-old Tatsuko Horikawa living in a small storage space in the house in the southern city of Fukuoka. The house belonged to a 57-year-old man, who had become suspicious after food disappeared from his fridge. So he installed a surveillance system, which filmed the woman as she walked around in his absence. On Wednesday afternoon police searched the house and found the woman in her cubby hole. She had brought a mattress into the tiny space in the wardrobe, police said. "She told police that she had nowhere to live," the French news agency AFP quoted a local police spokesman as saying. "She seems to have lived there for about a year, but not all the time." xxxxxx Pope Benedict XVI had surprised pretty much everyone when he had announced his retirement at the beginning of the year. Now the former Pope has explained the reason behind his decision. According to the Catholic Pope, he had a mystical experience in which God himself told him to retire from the papal office. Benedict added that he was already convinced of his rightful decision by observing the way in which his successor Francis I was performing his duties. According to the former pontiff, his successor Pope Francis was "elected by God." Benedict XVI announced his retirement on February 11, 2013. He became the first pope in the last 600 years to have renounced the papacy. He was replaced by Francis I - a Cardinal who was formerly known as Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Argentina. Pope Francis I is the first pope from outside of Europe in almost 1500 years. xxxxxxx The European Union has decided to temporarily halt weapons exports to Egypt in an effort to stop the violence in the country. At an emergency meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, EU foreign ministers agreed to suspend all deliveries of arms that could be used for internal repression. Hundreds of people have been killed in clashes between Egyptian security forces and supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi since last week. The EU ministers failed to reach a conclusion on whether to suspend a financial aid program worth 5 billion euros, or 6.7 billion dollars. Analysts say the ministers are trying to pressure Egypt's interim government by threatening to halt the financial aid in a bid to help settle the situation in the country. But they say the impact of such pressure will be limited because Arab nations are ready to help Egypt if the EU suspension goes ahead. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton says she is prepared to play a mediating role. But she has failed so far to end the violence, despite visiting Cairo twice last month.
