 TOKYO, June 26 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average fell

European leaders summit this week will fail to make any
significant progress in combating the region's debt crisis.
 The Nikkei closed 0.8 percent lower at 8,663.99,
holding below 8,714.78, the 23.6 percent retracement of its fall
from March 27 to June 4.
 The Topix lost 0.9 percent at 738.89.
