The torch relay for the postponed Tokyo Olympics started on schedule Thursday in Fukushima, Japan, with people gathering in the streets to celebrate despite previous calls for crowds to stay away for safety reasons. The torch relay will first head south to Okinawa, then up to the northern region of Hokkaido and finally back to Tokyo in mid-July.
