FILE - This Jan. 30, 2010 file photo shows demonstrators holding up signs written in Japanese reading: "We don't need Futenma base," in red, and "We refuse new Henoko base," in blue, as some 6,000 people gather at a rally protesting against Futenma Marine Corp Air Station on the southern island of Okinawa, in Tokyo. For decades, the station has been a rallying point for islanders frustrated at having to share their crowded surroundings with tens of thousands of U.S. troops. So when Tokyo and Washington agreed three years ago to move the airfield to a more secluded place, the deal was hailed as a breakthrough. But in September Japan got a new government which has put the plan on hold.
