The zenith of Mourinho's pragmatism, and arguably his entire managerial career, came at the Nou Camp on the way to the second of his Champions League wins, in 2010. Mourinho's Inter arrived at the home of Guardiola's reigning European champions with a 3-1 lead from the semi-final first leg.

"The quality of rice wasn't great due to unusually high temperatures which also resulted in lower rice production."Rice farmers have been unable to make enough money for many years, says 59-year-old Kosuke Kasahara, whose family have been in farming for generations.

He explains that it costs approximately 18,500 yen ($125.70; £94.60) to produce 60kg of rice but the cooperative in his area of Niigata on the west coast of Japan offered to buy it last year at 19,000 yen."Until three or four years ago, the government would even offer financial incentives to municipalities that agreed to reduce rice production," he adds.The ministry spokesperson confirms that the government has offered subsidies to those choosing to produce wheat or soybeans instead of rice.

Meanwhile, younger farmers have been choosing to produce different types of rice that are used for sake, rice crackers or fed to livestock because demand for rice in Japan had been falling until last year."I got tired of fighting retailers or restaurants that wanted me to sell rice cheaply for many years," says Shinya Tabuchi.

But that's been flipped on its head, with the going rate for 60kg of rice today at 40,000 to 50,000 yen.

While higher prices are bad news for shoppers, it means many struggling farmers will finally be able to make money.About a half a dozen members are similarly standing firm, threatening to hold out support.

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, a New York Republican who previously expressed some scepticism about the Salt proposals, said she is satisfied with how the issue has been resolved but does not blame other representatives for pushing back."They're fighting for their districts and they should be but when it comes time to vote for the bill, it's get the best deal possible and vote for the bill" Malliotakis said.

Beyond the Salt dissenters, Republicans in both legislative chambers remain divided on perhaps the most contentious element of the bill - cuts to the healthcare program designed to assist lower-income Americans.Some support tightening eligibility requirements for Medicaid, while others fear the proposal goes too far.
