Before this BBC podcast kicks off, I'd like to tell you about some others you might enjoy.

My name's Will Wilkin and I Commission Music Podcast for the BBC.

It's a really cool job, but every day we get to tell the incredible stories behind songs,

moments and movements, stories of struggle and success, rises and falls, the funny, the ridiculous.

And the BBC's position, at the heart of British music

means we can tell those stories like no one else.

We were, are and always will be right there at the centre of the narrative.

So whether you want an insightful take on music right now

or a nostalgic deep dive into some of the most famous and infamous moments in music,

check out the music podcasts on BBC Sounds.

Hello and welcome to more or less on the BBC World Service. We're the programme that takes

nebulous numbers and forms them into clusters of clarity. And I'm Tim Harford.

Yamaha has sounded a note of caution against musicians climbing into their instrument cases, warning that it could lead to a tragic accident.

A number of people in Japan appear to have mimicked the method used allegedly by the fugitive former Nissan boss, Carlos Gown, to flee the country.

Yamaha pointed to people pictured in

harp and double-base cases and urged, please use them correctly.

Gone himself told a press conference in Lebanon,

I did not escape justice. I fled in justice.

Japanese justice minister, Masako Mori, rejected that idea.

He has been propagating both within Japan and internationally, false information on Japan's legal system and its practice.

This is absolutely intolerable.
