Japanese politicians come to blows over controversial security bill (photos)

A fight broke out in the Japanese parliament yesterday, September 17 as opposition lawmakers tried to stop a bill that could see the military fight abroad for the first time since World War II. The brawl which came after hours of tortuous debate, failed to stop them from being approved as members of the ruling coalition stood up to signify their votes in favour. The bills are now expected to go to the full upper house on Friday, where they will likely be passed to become law. More pics after the cut..
