South Korea and Japan have held a working-level meeting on the issue of wartime sex slaves known as "comfort women". Senior officials from both sides are trying to iron out differences before Monday's foreign minister's meeting.

Up to two hundred thousand women were forced to work in Japanese military brothels during World War 2, many of them Korean. The issue has been straining bilateral ties. Japanese media outlets have reported Tokyo could offer to establish a joint fund for the few remaining survivors, as a way to settle the issue once and for all.

And it's rumoured Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will write a letter to apologize. But the reports have angered South Korean people, who are demanding a personal apology from Abe, and Tokyo's acknowledgement of its legal responsibility.
