Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced on December 20th that the number of cases of abuse against people with disabilities confirmed by prefectures and municipalities in fiscal 2022 was 3,079, an increase of 386 from the previous year, setting a new record high. The incident appears to have come to light partly because the government is requiring businesses to take measures to prevent abuse through the revision of remuneration for disability welfare services. People aged 65 or older will comprise over 40 pct of the population in 25 out of Japan's 47 prefectures in 2050, according to estimates released by the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research on Friday 22nd December.

W H O 'S Cancer Research Agency To Say Aspartame Sweetener A Possible CarcinogenREUTERS One of the world's most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen next month by a leading global health body, according to two sources with knowledge of the process, pitting it against the food industry and regulators. Aspartame, used in products from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars' Extra chewing gum and some Snapple drinks, will be listed in July as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" for the first time by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer research arm, the sources told Reuters. The IARC ruling, finalised earlier this month after a meeting of the group's external experts, is intended to assess whether something is a potential hazard or not, based on all the published evidence. It does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume. This advice for individuals comes from a separate WHO expert committee on food additives, known as JECFA (the Joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization's Expert Committee on Food Additives), alongside determinations from national regulators. However, similar IARC rulings in the past for different substances have raised concerns among consumers about their use, led to lawsuits, and pressured manufacturers to recreate recipes and swap to alternatives. That has led to criticism that the IARC's assessments can be confusing to the public. JECFA, the WHO committee on additives, is also reviewing aspartame use this year. Its meeting began at the end of June and it is due to announce its findings on the same day that the IARC makes public its decision – on July 14. Since 1981, JECFA has said aspartame is safe to consume within accepted daily limits. For example, an adult weighing 60 kg (132 pounds) would have to drink between 12 and 36 cans of diet soda – depending on the amount of aspartame in the beverage – every day to be at risk. Its view has been widely shared by national regulators, including in the United States and Europe. An IARC spokesperson said both the IARC and JECFA committees' findings were confidential until July, but added they were "complementary", with IARC's conclusion representing "the first fundamental step to understand carcinogenicity". The additives committee "conducts risk assessment, which determines the probability of a specific type of harm (e.g. cancer) to occur under certain conditions and levels of exposure." However, industry and regulators fear that holding both processes at around the same time could be confusing, according to letters from U.S. and Japanese regulators seen by Reuters. "We kindly ask both bodies to coordinate their efforts in reviewing aspartame to avoid any confusion or concerns among the public," Nozomi Tomita, an official from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, wrote in a letter dated March 27 to WHO's deputy director general, Zsuzsanna Jakab. The letter also called for the conclusions of both bodies to be released on the same day, as is now happening. The Japanese mission in Geneva, where the WHO is based, did not respond to a request for comment. DEBATE The IARC's rulings can have huge impact. In 2015, its committee concluded that glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic". Years later, even as other bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) contested this, companies were still feeling the effects of the decision.Germany's Bayer (BAYGn.DE) in 2021 lost its third appeal against U.S. court verdicts that awarded damages to customers blaming their cancers on use of its glyphosate-based weedkillers. The IARC's decisions have also faced criticism for sparking needless alarm over hard to avoid substances or situations. It has four different levels of classification - carcinogenic, probably carcinogenic, possibly carcinogenic and not classifiable. The levels are based on the strength of the evidence, rather than how dangerous a substance is. The first group includes substances from processed meat to asbestos, which all have convincing evidence showing they cause cancer, IARC says. Working overnight and consuming red meat are in the "probable" class, which means that there is limited evidence these substances or situations can cause cancer in humans and either better evidence showing they cause cancer in animals, or strong evidence showing that they have similar characteristics as other human carcinogens. The "radiofrequency electromagnetic fields" associated with using mobile phones are "possibly cancer-causing". Like aspartame, this means there is either limited evidence they can cause cancer in humans, sufficient evidence in animals, or strong evidence about the characteristics. The final group - "not classifiable" - means there is not enough evidence. "IARC is not a food safety body and their review of aspartame is not scientifically comprehensive and is based heavily on widely discredited research," Frances Hunt-Wood, secretary general of the International Sweeteners Association (ISA), said. The body, whose members include Mars Wrigley, a Coca-Cola (KO.N) unit and Cargill, said it had "serious concerns with the IARC review, which may mislead consumers". The International Council of Beverages Associations' executive director Kate Loatman said public health authorities should be "deeply concerned" by the "leaked opinion", and also warned it "could needlessly mislead consumers into consuming more sugar rather than choosing safe no- and low-sugar options." Aspartame has been extensively studied for years. Last year, an observational study in France among 100,000 adults showed that people who consumed larger amounts of artificial sweeteners – including aspartame – had a slightly higher cancer risk. It followed a study from the Ramazzini Institute in Italy in the early 2000s, which reported that some cancers in mice and rats were linked to aspartame. However, the first study could not prove that aspartame caused the increased cancer risk, and questions have been raised about the methodology of the second study, including by EFSA, which assessed it. Aspartame is authorised for use globally by regulators who have reviewed all the available evidence, and major food and beverage makers have for decades defended their use of the ingredient. The IARC said it had assessed 1,300 studies in its June review. Recent recipe tweaks by soft drinks giant Pepsico (PEP.O) demonstrate the struggle the industry has when it comes to balancing taste preferences with health concerns. Pepsico removed aspartame from sodas in 2015, bringing it back a year later, only to remove it again in 2020. Listing aspartame as a possible carcinogen is intended to motivate more research, said the sources close to the IARC, which will help agencies, consumers and manufacturers draw firmer conclusions. But it will also likely ignite debate once again over the IARC's role, as well as the safety of sweeteners more generally. Last month, the WHO published guidelines advising consumers not to use non-sugar sweeteners for weight control. The guidelines caused a furore in the food industry, which argues they can be helpful for consumers wanting to reduce the amount of sugar in their diet. For more News and Features from A. I.

It's Tuesday, May 2nd, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims killed 20 villagers Last week, another 20 villagers were killed by Islamic extremists during a two-day massacre in the Nigerian Nasarawa State. Shockingly, the police never showed up. One resident told International Christian Concern, “We lost hope in the Nigerian Police.” Artificial Intelligence will lead to more persecution of Christians Artificial Intelligence is a rising concern for the persecuted church. Pastor Mao Zhibin is warning Chinese Christians that “with the data collected from WeChat and hundreds of millions of surveillance cameras which are processed with artificial intelligence algorithms, the power is way beyond any other totalitarian regime.” China recently banned its citizens on WeChat from using religious words, including “Christ.” Unbelievably, a baptism video posted on the platform recently led to a Chinese pastor's arrest.  Global Christian Relief lists five ways Artificial Intelligence could be used to persecute Christians. Surveillance and facial recognition. Censorship and content filtering. Deepfakes -- or digitally manipulating one person's likeness with another -- to create fabricated events or speeches. Predictive policing to anticipate crimes before they occur. Highly unregulated, autonomous weapons designed to kill innocent people.  King Charles' polytheistic ceremony this Saturday Now that a minority of those in Great Britain call themselves Christians, the coronation ceremony for King Charles this coming Saturday, May 6th, is adapting.   All major religions will be recognized in a more polytheistic ceremony. Archbishop Justin Welby issued a statement noting that, “The service contains new elements that reflect the diversity of our contemporary society.” Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh leaders will participate.   Yet, according to the official coronation oath, Charles will vow to “maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel. … And do the utmost in his power to maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law.”  Biden wants to penalize good creditors and reward bad ones The Biden administration has released new rules on home mortgages intended to punish families with good credit scores, and offering better mortgage rates to people with worse credit scores. In a letter to the White House, state treasurers from 27 states have weighed in on the policy, calling out the plan as a “disaster. It amounts to a middle-class tax hike that will unfairly cost American families millions upon millions of dollars. And – at a time when the real estate market has already slowed considerably due to high interest rates – it will further depress home sales." The National Association of Realtors has also come out against the new rules.  Since 2008, the federal government has issued these LLPA fees to help offset the risks borne by Fannie and Freddie Mac, the federal government's mortgage institutions, under the rubric of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The fee is often hidden, as lenders will adjust the mortgage interest rates to include the fee. Leviticus 19:15 warns government officials: “You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great.” And Exodus 30:15 says, “The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less.” Coca-Cola shareholders resoundingly voted down Woke resolution Last week, the shareholders for Coca-Cola voted down a resolution advocating divestiture from pro-life states — get this — by a vote of 87% to 13%, reports World Magazine. By contrast, it seems that the boardrooms of America's corporations have already gone Woke.   A full 75% of the largest 15 companies in the U.S. have a 100% perfect score on the Homosexual Human Rights Campaign Woke survey. And two-thirds of the nation's 500 largest companies provide transgender-inclusive health insurance, up from 3% just 13 years ago.  First Republic Bank goes belly up First Republic Bank became the third big bank failure for the year yesterday. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took control of it, dismembered it, and then handed what was left to JP Morgan Chase Bank, reports WolfStreet.com. That included $173 billion in loans, $30 billion in securities, and JP Morgan gets the $92 billion in deposits. Thus far, the three bank failures this year add up to about $540 billion in total assets. That compares to about $420 billion in bank failures in the 2008-2009 timeframe. The First Republic Bank failure will cost taxpayers another $13 billion, according to FDIC estimates.  Japan warms up to Abortion Kill Pill as fertility has plummeted And finally, Japan is moving towards approving the mifepristone Abortion Kill Pill.   A panel from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare voted to approve the kill pill last month, allowing women to kill their pre-born babies up to the ninth week of gestation. Japan's fertility rate has dropped to 1.3 per woman. The countries with the lowest birth rates in the world, by use of conception control, abortifacients, and abortion, are Puerto Rico, Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria, Greece, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea which is at a shocking .79. But let us remember the wisdom of Psalm 9:8.  “The Lord. . .will judge the world in righteousness.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, May 2nd in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

When preparing for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Japan Railways (JR), based on guidance from Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport required that when at JR stations, mobility scooters: “move at a speed no more than 2km/h and follow the instructions and warnings of the train attendant, and do not use routes other than the ones specified.” Episode notes: https://barrierfreejapan.com/2023/01/20/japan-to-allow-unlicensed-electric-scooter-riding-from-july/

Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has established appropriate facilities and equipment such as barrier-free toilets, parking facilities for wheelchair users, elevators in passenger facilities, and priority seats in vehicles so that those who “truly need them” can use them when they need them. The Ministry states that it will carry out a campaign to promote the use of these facilities and promote “barrier-free minds.” https://barrierfreejapan.com/2022/11/28/why-is-japan-seemingly-obsessed-with-barrier-free-minds/

This podcast will give you a summary of the latest news related to cyber intelligence and proactive cyber security in only a few minutes. The podcast is aimed at professionals who are short on time, or for anyone who would like to know a bit more about what is REALLY happening out there in the cyber world. The focus of this podcast will be on the latest cyber events for non-technical people; anyone can listen and understand. https://news.nucleon.sh/2021/06/30/cyber-news-update-67/ ---- Several Japanese government agencies reportedly suffered data breaches originating from Fujitsu's information sharing tool they were using. The platform is a cloud-based enterprise collaboration and file-sharing platform launched in the mid-2000s. Fujitsu had earlier disclosed that hackers gained unauthorized access to the system and stole customer data. The computer emergency response team is still investigating and trying to determine if government agencies were targeted or the incident was a software supply chain attack. Investigators said that the cyber attack affected the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, Tourism, the Cabinet Secretariat, and the Narita International Airport. The National Cyber ​​Security Center said that hackers accessed 76,000 email addresses and email system settings through Fujitsu's file-sharing tool. They exfiltrated flight schedules, air traffic control data, and business operations data from the Narita Airport. Similarly, study materials from Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs were exposed. Japan's Cabinet Secretariat's national cybersecurity center advised government agencies and critical infrastructure organizations relying on Fujitsu's information-sharing tool to check for indicators of compromise. The Fujitsu hacking incident was the second affecting Japan's government agencies in a month. In April, hackers compromised Solito's file-sharing server that affected Japan's Prime Minister's office. Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato, said that cyber attacks on Japan's critical infrastructure were expected during the Tokyo Olympics. He noted that his office was prepared to address such security incidents. ---- This week, The Steamship Authority of Massachusetts is asking travelers to bring cash for tickets and parking as the ferry service continues trying to recover from a ransomware attack. Customers were unable to book or change reservations online or by phone for the largest ferry service to the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket after the cyber attack occurred. "There is no impact to the safety of vessel operations, as the issue does not affect radar or GPS functionality," the Authority said in a statement. The FBI is now taking the lead on the investigation, working in conjunction with the Coast Guard and the Massachusetts State Police Cyber Security Unit, Coast Guard First District Petty Officer Amanda Wyrick told the Cape Cod Times. This joins more and more cyber incidents where the FBI is taking the lead on the investigation as the US is starting to realize and understand that such cyber attacks are not done only for financial reasons but also in order to cause chaos and disrupt the daily lives of citizens. Ransomware attacks have become a national threat against the USA and we can see that each week the USA is starting to take more and more severe measures in order to deal with it. --- That's it for this podcast, stay safe and see you in the next podcast.

Space to Grow has an exciting episode featuring Astroscale CEO and Founder Nobu Okada. In this interview, Chris Blackerby and Charity Weeden talk to their boss and the man behind bringing awareness and industry to the space sustainability market.Okada's career didn't begin in space, although space was certainly mesmerizing to him early. He traveled to the U.S. to attend Space Camp as a teen, something Weeden did, as well. The love story with space wouldn't be a major part of his life for years. His career included work in Japan's Ministry of Finance, as a consultant with McKinsey, and leading IT startups.Okada said starting Astroscale was a journey to do something different. He was looking for hot topics in space and found sustainability. He attended a global conference in April of 2013.“No one had solutions or were taking any actions to clean up space.” So, he decided to hold that torch, founding Astroscale a week later. Since then, he's raised over $191 million.Raising money for any business is challenging, for space-related startups, maybe even more so because it's not a quick return. Okada said, “Investors are simple and focused on ROI. The rules are making them feel secure, confident, and happy. We also carefully designed the terms and conditions for each series.”Okada admits the very first series was a leap of faith for investors. “We had big passion, people, and no technology. At that point, people are investing in you.”Since then, the company has proved the market is there. Still, it's a slow process to transform space into a sector where commercialization is a bigger part of the picture. Now, the biggest customer for space-related solutions is government. Okada believes a turning point is coming. “We have to create the future, not wait for it. The commercial role of space sustainability is coming, with awareness raised in the past few years,” he noted.

It was 4:30pm and David was sitting in a coffee shop in Tokyo, writing what was to be his best-selling book on sustainable energy sources. He wondered why all these people were working in the heart of the city remotely, why couldn't they be in an idyllic place like Bali. Building on his experience working with diverse communities, from the White House and remote Lithuanian villages to remote African villages, he set out to create a community-focused space that sought to facilitate the unique lifestyle of ‘Anywhere Workers'. Outpost now has a network of award-winning living and working spaces serving a community of remote workers. As the global shift towards remote work continues to grow, it is an exciting time for Outpost as more and more people will begin working from anywhere. Outpost will no doubt be one of the first places these people head to. David has lived in Lithuania teaching at a university, worked in Japan's Ministry of Economy and on Wall Street, ran a managed charity providing clean water to people in need in Africa. He understands the challenges of an anywhere life workstyle firsthand. https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-abraham-73960a1/ www.destinationoutpost.co

Why is it that the Japanese love Hawaii and visiting Hawaii more than any other vacation destination in the world? Visitors from Japan make up a substantial part of the travel and tourism industry for Hawaii. The Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) today approved Japan's Testing Procedure for Pre-Travel Testing Program, effectively announcing an upcoming travel bubble between Hawaii and Japan. DOH has approved the COVID-19 Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) authorized by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare. Proof of a negative test result from trusted testing partners in Japan will allow travelers from that country to bypass the 14-day quarantine upon arrival in Hawai‘i.

Today on The Leaders' Brief - India, one of the fastest-growing internet markets globally, has banned 118 Chinese applications, months after imposing a similar ban on 59 mobile apps with ties to Beijing. While PUBG Mobile, the most popular among those, is likely to find a way out into the Indian market, the fate of other apps remains uncertain. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry allocated 23.5 billion yen or $221 million in the 2020 supplemental budget as a subsidy to encourage companies to disperse their manufacturing sites across the ASEAN region. China has launched an initiative to counter the US's Clean Network Initiative by reaching out to governments and requesting them to handle data security in a "comprehensive, objective, and evidence-based manner." China hopes to set a global standard for data security through the initiative.

Welcome this show's east-most episode recorded so far! For the next half an hour, we will be looking at Eurasia from Tokyo with a rather special guest: **Professor Tomohiko Taniguchi, a speechwriter and special advisor to Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.** Professor Taniguchi also serves as a [tenured professor at Keio University](http://www.sdm.keio.ac.jp/en/voice/taniguchi.html) in Tokyo, Japan (and where Olesya, our interviewer, is based until January). Throughout his professional career, professor Taniguchi has changed his location multiple times, working as a researcher and journalist in several reputable institutions worldwide including [Nikkei Business](https://business.nikkei.com/), [Brookings Institution](https://www.brookings.edu/author/tomohiko-taniguchi/), Foreign Press Association, Princeton University and Shanghai Institute of International Studies. In 2005, professor Taniguchi joined Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and started writing speeches for then-foreign minister Taro Aso, and subsequently PM Shinzo Abe.  **How difficult is it – to write a speech for the highest political figure in the country? How does Japanese government view developments in the Asian region, and where does it see its place? What is needed to encourage more Japanese companies to take part in the maritime and overland connectivity projects in Eurasia?** We hope you will enjoy our guest's reflections on these questions as he is unweiling for us this mysterious island nation at the Eastern edge of the Asia Pacific. See you in the next episode!
