安倍晋三元首相銃撃事件で山上徹也被告が逮捕後に動機として挙げた世界平和統一家庭連合。 Japanese court hearings are expected to end in November over an order to dissolve the Unification Church, which allegedly inspired the fatal shooting of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe three years ago.

Sanae Takaichi is the first female prime minister of Japan. Once the drummer in a heavy metal band, she is now a staunch conservative, tough on immigration and against same sex marriage. More Iron Lady than Iron Maiden, the 64-year-old models her strong leadership style on Margaret Thatcher. She entered politics in 1993, the same year as future prime minister Shinzo Abe. A loyal ally, she quickly rose the ranks in his cabinet. After several unsuccessful leadership attempts, she finally became prime minister on October 21st 2025. To some this is a victory for women in Japan, but others see her conservative views as evidence there is still a long way to go. Mark Coles voyages into the world of Japanese politics to find out.

Tetsuya Yamagami is expected to plead guilty to murdering former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the first hearing of his trial at Nara District Court on Tuesday, more than three years after the fatal shooting in the western city of Nara in July 2022.

奈良県警奈良西署を出る山上徹也被告、２０２２年７月１０日、奈良市奈良市で２０２２年、参院選の応援演説中だった安倍晋三元首相を手製銃で殺害したとして、殺人罪などに問われた山上徹也被告の裁判員裁判が２８日、奈良地裁で始まる。 Tetsuya Yamagami is expected to plead guilty to murdering former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the first hearing of his trial at Nara District Court on Tuesday, more than three years after the fatal shooting in the western city of Nara in July 2022.

In Ep. 108, Ray Powell and Jim Carouso interview CNN Tokyo correspondent Hanako Montgomery about the historic election of Sanae Takaichi as Japan's first female prime minister, exploring her background, conservative policies, and the geopolitical challenges she faces amid rising regional tensions and domestic economic woes. The discussion highlights Takaichi's rise: how she broke through Japan's traditional patriarchal barriers, and how she will navigate its complex domestic politics and the rapidly changing Indo-Pacific geostrategic picture.Sanae Takaichi, formerly the economic security minister, emerged as Japan's fourth prime minister since Shinzo Abe's 2020 departure, marking a milestone as the country's first woman in the role despite Japan's low G7 ranking in gender parity. Unlike many politicians who come from dynasties, her background includes a TV anchor career in the mid-1990s, where she discussed politics and society, while her parents were a police officer and a car company worker. Known for her colorful personality (including a love for motorcycles and heavy metal music), she is a self-described workaholic and Abe protégé, advocating conservative stances like revising Japan's pacifist constitution, boosting defense spending to 2% of GDP, and opposing same-sex marriage.Takaichi's election comes during a period of turmoil for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which lost its parliamentary majority in recent elections amid scandals like unreported slush funds and ties to controversial groups linked to Abe's assassin. The long-dominant LDP now relies on a new coalition, creating an identity crisis between its conservative roots and younger reformers. Her "Sanaenomics"--looser fiscal policies, increased government spending, and inflation relief via billions in subsidies for household items--differs from Abenomics but faces hurdles from her coalition's fiscally conservative views and Japan's demographic crisis, including low birth rates and immigration crackdowns. Markets reacted positively with the Nikkei 225 hitting records post-election, but the yen also weakened, signaling investor excitement tempered by fiscal risks.Takaichi inherits a fraught Indo-Pacific landscape, with her hawkish views on China, including criticisms of its militarization, espionage by Chinese residents, and even ugly tourist behavior, drawing Beijing's ire via state media warnings that Japan is at a "crossroads." Her April Taiwan visit, pushing defense and economic ties without U.S. centrality, has heightened tensions, though economic interdependence may prompt pragmatic diplomacy during upcoming APEC and ASEAN meetings.Takaichi previously vowed female representation in her cabinet but appointed only two women, emphasizing qualifications over gender in a male-dominated field, surprising some observers. Comparisons to Margaret Thatcher abound for her symbolic strength as a first female leader; however, there are policy differences between the two.Takaichi's tenure could reshape Japan's role amid uncertainties about U.S. commitment and China's assertiveness in areas such as the Senkaku Islands, Taiwan, and the South China Sea, with public support growing for constitutional revision and defense hikes due to perceived threats. Her success hinges on economic delivery--tackling inflation and wages--while balancing alliances.

China's ruling Communist Party leadership met in Beijing to frame the next five-year-plan. Amid a trade war with the United States, they set priorities for economic policy and technology, including how to build artificial intelligence into key sectors of society.   New faces appeared and old ones vanished, with a purge of senior military officials and others as President Xi Jinping sacked some officials he had earlier promoted.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 23, 2025. 0:30 In a Fox News interview Congresswoman Katherine Clark, the Democratic Whip, openly admitted that a potential government shutdown gives her party “leverage.” Clark’s comments reveal the Democrats’ willingness to let American families, military workers, and small businesses suffer for political advantage—turning a crisis into a bargaining chip. 9:30 Plus we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. California Gavin Newsom wants to station the National Guard at food banks across the state of California. Former New Hampshire Senator John Sununu is running for his old seat currently held by the woman who defeated him back in 2008. The North Carolina Legislature passed new congressional maps that are designed to give Republicans one additional seat in the 2026 elections. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We talk about the Democratice Party's true motive — using American hardship as a political weapon. They hammer home that millions of Americans stand to lose access to SNAP benefits due to the shutdown, not because of fiscal necessity, but because Democrats,see suffering as opportunity. 16:30 We ask the American Mamas: Can you be Black and MAGA? Inspired by a viral video from the recent “No Kings” protest, the Mamas discuss a heated exchange between a Black Trump supporter and a white leftist protester—a confrontation that exposes the hypocrisy and racism of the modern left. Rising Black conservative voices like Wesley Hunt, Byron Donalds, and Tim Scott are proof that patriotism and principle—not political pressure—define identity. Yet, these leaders are vilified instead of celebrated simply because they stand on the right. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:30 We react to Chuck Schumer's latest attempt to spin the ongoing government shutdown. Schumer blasted the continued construction of the new White House ballroom as proof of misplaced priorities—tweeting, “Yes to ballrooms, no to healthcare for Americans.” 25:30 And we Dig Deep into a new Breitbart article about Leah Thomas, the former University of Pennsylvania swimmer who continues to defend taking titles from female athletes. Quoting Thomas’s recent PBS interview—“It’s easier to fight the world than to fight yourself”—we unpack the deeper moral and cultural implications behind that statement. Thomas’s mindset reveals a wider spiritual and societal problem—a refusal to confront inner struggle and personal responsibility. The transgender movement’s rejection of self-discipline and truth—and giving in to confusion or pain rather than confronting it—leads to broader harm. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We dive into escalating tensions between the United States and Russia following the Trump administration’s latest sanctions announcement. With a planned Trump - Putin meeting in Hungary canceled, we see signs of a deepening rift—and a new phase of instability in U.S.–Russia relations. 36:00 Plus, Japan elected it's first female prime minister, Sanae Takeuchi. And that's a Bright Spot, not because she's a woman, but because she's a conservative. Takeuchi brings experience and a bold vision shaped by her mentor, the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and her admiration for Margaret Thatcher, whom she calls her political role model. Her speeches—emphasizing sovereignty, national pride, and family values—remind us of President Donald Trump, who is inspiring a new generation of unapologetically patriotic and conservative leaders around the world. 40:30 Once seen as the heir apparent to lead the Democratic Party, Gavin Newsom now finds himself trailing Kamala Harris by double digits. The poll reflects a deeper problem within the Democratic bench: a lack of fresh leadership and coherent vision. The party is stale, and they've got to have someone else that is going to step forward. Or the American people are just going to say, "Whoa."

//The Wire//2300Z October 21, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: JAPAN ELECTS NEW PRIME MINISTER. DISSENT IN IRELAND AS HIGH-PROFILE MIGRANT CRIME STRIKES DUBLIN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Japan: Last night Sanae Takaichi was selected to be Japan's first female PM following the striking of a new coalition deal in Parliament.Analyst Comment: Things might get rather interesting in Japan as Takaichi is the most politically conservative PM (by Japanese standards) that Japan has had since Shinzo Abe. Japanese internal politics is often strange to observe from a western perspective, however this election does signal a desire to shift to the political right for the Japanese.Ireland: Authorities are allegedly investigating the assault of a child at a migrant center in Dublin. A 10-year-old girl was found on the grounds of the Citywest Hotel in Dublin after being assaulted by an African migrant. The migrant in question had an active deportation order since March, but had not been deported. Following the revelation of this story, locals protested outside this migrant facility this afternoon. These protests rapidly turned into a riot, and at least one police vehicle was set on fire outside the facility.-HomeFront-Georgia: Yesterday a man was arrested after threatening to conduct a small arms attack at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. Billy Cagle was arrested after he livestreamed his attack plans on social media, before traveling to the airport to conduct the attack. His family members saw the livestream and notified law enforcement immediately, which led to his arrest in the South Terminal before he was able to conduct the attack.Analyst Comment: This appears to be more of a mental illness situation rather than the standard terror attack. Granted, bullets don't discriminate so in the heat of the moment this was still a very clear and present danger regardless. He was detained at the scene with a rifle in his vehicle, so his threats were probably not idle.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Regarding the situation in Ireland, anytime Irish authorities are this forthcoming with details involving migrant crime, the situation is very serious. This migrant center has been turned into permanent housing for migrants (to the tune of €148 million), and has been the source of scandal following months of locals being terrorized by the inhabitants of this hotel. This facility is also under the protection of the Gardai, as this housing center has been the target of protests by ethnic Irishmen. This has led many to question how a migrant was able to kidnap a child and drag her to the facility, which was being protected by private security guards as well as police. Considering the gravity of the situation at hand, this might be yet the latest catalyst in keeping tensions hot in Ireland.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Sanae Takaichi devient la première femme Première ministre du Japon, dans un pays où la politique reste largement dominée par les hommes. Conservatrice assumée, proche de l'ancien Premier ministre Shinzo Abe dont elle revendique l'héritage, cette figure de l'aile droite du Parti libéral-démocrate incarne un tournant aussi symbolique que risqué.

Japan has entered a new political era after the election of Sanae Takaichi who is poised to become the country's first female prime minister. A protege of the late Shinzo Abe and a fan of Margaret Thatcher, she styles herself as Japan's 'Iron Lady' and she could be one of its most right-wing and nationalistic leaders since the Second World War. Asia editor of The Times and The Sunday Times Richard Lloyd Parry has lived in Japan and covered it for 30 years. He joins Hamish Macdonald and Geraldine Doogue to discuss what Takaichi's leadership might mean for Japan, and for Australia. Recommendations:China's middle class rides migration wave to Tokyo - AFRIn The Time Of Madness - Richard Lloyd ParryGet in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news that while much of the financial world seems disconnected from economic reality, we are about to reminded of our local realities this week.This week will be all about the RBNZ OCR review on Wednesday. Will it be a -25 bps cut or a -50 bps cut? Financial markets do not know, but then again neither do analysts. Banks have been assuming -25 bps at least and have trimmed their one year fixed home loan rates by this much. But since the last OCR review one year swap rates have fallen -31 bps, so if there is a -50 bps cut on Wednesday, expect those swap rates to fall almost immediately, and banks to follow that up with more fixed rate mortgage reductions. Savers will be looking on nervously because the rates offered to them in term deposits also face the same downward pressures.In Australia, it will be all about the Westpac consumer confidence survey, the NAB business confidence survey, and consumer inflation expectations. And of course, parts of the eastern states are now on Daylight Saving Time, so basically back to 2 hours behind New Zealand (except Brisbane, which stays 3 hours behind).The US government shutdown will remain the focus this week in the world's major financial markets as the extended impasse between members of Congress showed little signs of improvement. The shutdown jeopardises releases from US Federal agencies including the trade balance, jobless claims, and the budget statement after the September jobs report and other key data has already been delayed. Still, the minutes from the FOMC's last meeting is still expected.Among non-US governmental releases, October's Michigan Consumer Sentiment surveyed will be eyed.Over the weekend the ruling LDP party in Japan selected a new prime minister, notable because it is Japan's first female prime minister, Sanae Takaichi. Takaichi, 64, was known to be close to the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, another prominent right-wing leader of the LDP. She has publicly stated that she sees former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as her role model. She has been called a "China hawk". Some locally fear they may be getting a Liz Truss.In China, the massive Mid-Autumn Festival holiday travel is underway. China's railways handled an all-time record 23.1 million passenger trips last Wednesday, the first day of the eight-day holiday.Across the Pacific in the US over the weekend, the ISM released its services PMI for September and that showed a sector no longer expanding. New orders did though, barely, but a sharp slowdown from August's rise. Business activity actually contracted, down near the brief dip in mid-2024, and apart from that its lowest level since the pandemic in 2020. Analysts were not expecting this widely-watched metric to be so downbeat.Price rise impulses were restrained. Businesses are not able to pass on the tariff taxes in full, and that makes them feel quite constrained.In Canada, five provinces raised their minimum wages last week, following five who did it earlier in the year. As a result, British Columbia is now at C$17.85/hr (NZ$21.95), Ontario is at C$17.60/hr. Quebec at C$16.10/hr and Alberta is the lowest at C$15/hr (NZ$18.45).Canadian housing markets are operating on a two-track basis now; rising sales volumes and falling sales prices. In Toronto, sales volumes rose +8.5% in September from a year ago to 5592 homes sold, but average prices fell -4.7% on the same basis. And that was despite a central bank rate cut in the month.More globally, the FAO global food price index fell in September and in part that was due to retreating dairy prices. But they are still +9% higher than year-ago levels. On the other hand, meat prices rose again to be +6.6% higher than year-ago levels. Sheepmeat surged on limited supply and good demand. Beef prices rose sharply to all-time high levels.And we should probably note that after rising to €84/tonne in 2024 to start this year, EU carbon prices then fell to about €60/tonne at the end of March. But since then they have risen back to almost €80/tonne now and putting on a bit of a spurt in early October. While local carbon markets are struggling, the same is not true elsewhere.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.12% and unchanged from Saturday but down -6 bps for the week.The price of gold will start today at US$3885/oz, up +US$3 from Saturday and a new high. That is up +US$113 or +2.9% from a week ago. Silver had another big spurt this week, now just under US$48/oz, a weekly gain of +3.8%.American oil prices are softish at just under US$61/bbl, but down -US$4 from a week ago, with the international Brent price now just on US$64.5 and down -$5.50 from a week ago.The Kiwi dollar is at just over 58.3 USc, little-changed from Saturday but up +50 bps from a week ago. Against the Aussie we holding at 88.3 AUc. Against the euro we are also unchanged at 49.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 65.6, up +10 bps from Saturday and up +40 bps for the week.The bitcoin price starts today at US$122,805 and virtually unchanged from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/- 1.5%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

As suffering and starvation continues unimpeded in Gaza, the chorus of criticism is becoming louder, and not just from abroad. In an unprecedented move, Yuli Novak & Guy Shalev, the executive directors of B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, two leading Israeli human rights groups, tell Christiane why they believe their government is committing genocide in Gaza. Then former National Institutes of Health chief Francis Collins discusses the chilling impact of science and research cuts on American healthcare under Donald Trump's second term.  Also, as Trump ramps up pressure on Putin's grinding war, Nick Paton Walsh has a special report on one of the country's youngest victims, Tymur, aged ten.  Plus, after recent elections in Japan saw the obscure far-right party, Sanseito, make dramatic gains in the recent election, Christiane discusses whether Trump or tourists are behind the stunning results with Tomohiko Taniguchi, a former advisor to longtime Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Mira Rapp-Hooper, who was a special Asia advisor to President Biden. Thirty-five years since Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, from her archives, Christiane's report on America's massive military buildup in the Saudi desert ahead of their effort to repel Saddam, and the weary U.S. troops she met there, worried about insufficient supplies and what was yet to come.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Donald Trump recently proclaimed on social media that he is "the president of peace," but peaceful, the world is not. The Gaza war continues, Palestinian children are starving, Russia's war in Ukraine grinds on, and the global economy is in flux, with tremendous uncertainty over Trump's tariffs. For veteran diplomat and the former president of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard Haass, these are remarkable times indeed, as he watches the current world order morph under MAGA.

John Nilsson-Wright and Suzanne Raine talk to Nobukatsu Kanehara, former assistant chief cabinet secretary to late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (from 2012-2019) and one of Japan's leading strategic thinkers. The conversation covers Japan's diplomatic options in handling security and economic relations with the United States, regional security in the Middle East, the domestic political circumstances faced by the Liberal Democratic Government of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Japan's regional diplomacy in dealing with China and North Korea, nuclear deterrence, alliance policy, and also relations with the new government of President Lee Jae-myung in the Republic of Korea.This podcast is part of a larger Centre for Geopolitics project, Alliances in Alignment, supported by the Korea Foundation, examining the future of trilateral cooperation between the US, South Korea and Japan.

Moira walks Adrian through the long, twisty story of the Moonies -- a story that, somewhat improbably, brings together North Korea, the Hudson Valley, the murder of Shinzo Abe and New England fisheries. And weddings. Just so many weddings.

Why has Japan fallen out of Trump's good graces? Will Japan close a deal with the US before tariffs take effect? And how will the upcoming Japanese election impact relations? To find out, ChinaTalk interviewed Professor Tomohiko Taniguchi, a longtime observer of US-Japan relations and former advisor to the late Shinzo Abe. We discuss… Why 1970s trade competition is still impacting US-Japan relations today, and how Japan could create “Wow factor” when dealing with Donald Trump, How Shinzo Abe used golf, dinner parties, and history lessons to cultivate a close personal friendship with Trump, The roots of Japanese resolve in dealing with PRC aggression, The emergence of Russian disinformation surrounding the Japanese election, The political economy of the Japanese Self-Defence Force, and how Abe managed the controversy surrounding his reinterpretation of Article 9.

Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated in broad daylight with a homemade shotgun. But the real story? It wasn't political extremism. It was personal. In this episode, we break down how Japan's most influential modern leader was killed by a man with a vendetta against a powerful religious group—the Unification Church. We explore Japan's eerie history of political assassinations, the cult's strange ties to government, and how loneliness and disillusionment are reshaping modern societies. This is the wildest story you've never heard—all 100% true.

In this episode, Jacob speaks with Japan analyst Tobias Harris to unpack rising tensions in U.S.-Japan trade relations amid the Trump administration's tariff blitz. They explore how Japan—historically a close U.S. ally—is reacting to unclear demands, internal U.S. policy chaos, and the potential collapse of trust in American economic leadership. Tobias breaks down the limits of personal diplomacy, the legacy of Shinzo Abe, and why Japan is quietly building plan B trade alliances. They also cover Japan-China relations, a political shift in South Korea, and how domestic rice prices could determine Prime Minister Ishiba's fate. Global stakes, local politics—fully intertwined.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(01:14) - Japan-US Trade Relations(04:00) - Internal US Negotiation Issues(09:39) - Japan's Strategic Dilemmas(14:09) - Hypotheticals and Future Scenarios(18:50) - Impact of Abe's Relationship with Trump(24:10) - Japanese Relations with China(25:25) - Japan's Efforts to Repair Relations(28:31) - South Korea's New Leadership(29:57) - Challenges in Japan-South Korea Relations(36:13) - Japanese Domestic Politics(40:50) - The Importance of Rice in Japanese Politics(46:48) - Growing Interest in Japan--Referenced in the Show:Tobais' SubStack - https://observingjapan.substack.com/ --Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShap--The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Adam and guest Danger Van Gorder discuss the 2022 assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the impact it had on a highly controversial church that financially exploited its members in Japan for decades.Show notes: https://conspirapod.link/ep330

Igor Prusa, Ph.D. is a Czech scholar in Japanese and media studies, currently affiliated with Ambis University Prague and Metropolitan University Prague. He received PhDs in media studies at Prague's Charles University and at the University of Tokyo. His research interests include media scandals in Japan and anti-heroism in popular fiction. Today we're going to talk about his new book, Scandal in Japan: Transgression, Performance and Ritual (Routledge, 2024). He recently started teaching a course at the University of Vienna on the subject.Prusa explains his definition of a scandal, emphasizing its public revelation and media framing. He highlights the Unification Church scandal involving former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, noting its unique trigger by a tragedy and the role of foreign media in revealing information. Prusa also discusses narrative aspects and media event characteristics of Japanese scandals, concluding that while controversies often serve as rituals, they rarely lead to fundamental societal improvements.They then mull over two major Japanese scandals. The first is the Olympus scandal of 2011, exposed by CEO Michael Woodford, which involved hiding company losses for over 20 years through creative accounting and mergers. The scandal was initially covered by outside media, with the Financial Times playing a crucial role. The Nissan scandal, involving CEO Carlos Ghosn, revealed millions in personal financial gains and a conflict between Japanese and French governance. Ghosn's extravagant lifestyle and a planned merger with Renault further fueled public outrage. This conversation also highlights the role of media in scandal coverage and the cultural nuances of whistleblowing in Japan.Lastly, Prusa tells what his 3 favorite books on Japan are:1. Shimbun Kisha (新聞記者) by Isoko Mochizuki  (望月衣塑子). Written in Japanese, this book provides insights into the role of journalists in Japan and how they have helped expose various scandals, including the Moritomo Gakuen and Shiori Ito rape cases. The book inspired a 2019 Japanese film by the same name.2. Media and Politics in Japan edited by Susan Pharr and Ellis Krauss, with a chapter on political scandals by Maggie Farley. This is a classic introduction to understanding the relationship between media and politics in Japan.3. Idols and Celebrity in Japanese Media Culture edited by Patrick Galbraith and Jason Karlin. Offers valuable insights into the role of idols and celebrities in Japanese media and culture, and how scandals can emerge in this context.Be sure to check out Igor Prusa's book Scandal in Japan: Transgression, Performance and Ritual.Visit him on social media at the following links:Academic website: https://mup.academia.edu/IgorPrusaLinkedIn (follow here for the latest Japanese scandals and Prusa's analysis)Facebook The Books on Asia Podcast is sponsored by Stone Bridge Press.

L'émission 28 minutes du 26/03/2025 Pour l'historienne Sophie Bessis, "on raconte n'importe quoi sur les Juifs et les Arabes"Sophie Bessis, historienne spécialiste de l'Afrique subsaharienne et du Maghreb, est issue d'une famille de la bourgeoisie juive tunisienne. Dans “La civilisation judéo-chrétienne. Anatomie d'une imposture” (éditions Les liens qui libèrent), elle interroge cette notion. Elle considère que parler de “civilisation judéo-chrétienne” pour qualifier la civilisation occidentale est “une invention” historique. Selon elle, cela permet “d'exclure l'islam [du] triptyque monothéiste alors qu'il en est partie prenante” mais aussi aux Européens “d'occulter près de deux millénaires d'antisémitisme”. D'autre part, elle considère que cette notion a permis, “en particulier aux nationalistes arabes et aux islamistes, d'exclure le monde juif oriental de l'histoire de la région, alors qu'il en fait partie intégrante, et d'affirmer qu'il existe un complot judéo-chrétien contre les Arabes et les musulmans”. Aujourd'hui, elle estime que ce concept “sert les politiques de droite et d'extrême droite en Europe et en Occident”.Hausse mondiale des émissions de CO2 : dans la spirale infernale de la climatisation ? Dans son rapport annuel publié lundi 24 mars, l'Agence internationale de l'énergie (AIE) révèle que les émissions mondiales de CO2 du secteur de l'énergie ont continué d'augmenter en 2024 : + 0,8 % sur un an. Si la hausse ralentit du fait de l'expansion des énergies bas carbone et des renouvelables, le rapport note qu'elle est causée à 80 % par l'utilisation croissante de la climatisation pour répondre aux fortes chaleurs. La planète semble alors être prise dans un cercle vicieux infernal. Freiner l'usage de la climatisation peut être tentant dans les pays occidentaux où des alternatives existent comme la végétalisation mais dans certains pays émergents, la climatisation est le seul remède immédiat à la chaleur. Comment briser ce cycle considérant que tous les pays du monde ne sont pas au même stade de leur transition énergétique ?Enfin, Xavier Mauduit nous raconte que les Américains voulaient déjà acheter le Groenland au 19e siècle, alors que le vice-président américain actuel J.D. Vance a annoncé qu'il allait s'y rendre avec son épouse à partir du 27 mars. Marie Bonnisseau nous présente la secte japonaise Moon, dont la dissolution juridique a été ordonnée hier à Tokyo. Elle était dans le collimateur de la justice depuis la révélation de ses liens avec l'assassinat de l'ancien Premier ministre Shinzo Abe en juillet 2022. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

Increasingly brazen armed gangs are taking control of most of the roads leading into and out of Port-au-Prince, as control slips away from Haitian police and Kenyan-led multinational forces. Also, a court in Tokyo has ordered the once-powerful Unification Church in Japan to be dissolved in a case against the religious group that goes back to the 2022 assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. And, the beating and arrest of Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land” highlights the blurred lines between Israeli settlers and the Israel Defense Forces. Plus, Chile's Indigenous Mapuche people use an ancestral sport to help protect and revive their culture, customs and language.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

BEST OF TST: The Kansas City Chiefs victory parade turned deadly and injurious to dozens of people on Valentine's Day, marking not only a shocking tragedy but a truly bloody Valentine. Strangely enough, the odd series of number patterns that appeared during Super Bowl weekend, were also present in reports of the shooting. Headline after headline reported different totals of victims - those injured, those killed, children, those being treated at hospitals - all in a manner where the numbers added to 22 and 25, the score of the big game, or to 13 or 33. These numbers appear in the inconsistent reports about the parade shooting: NBC News reported at 9:44am Thursday 15th, 23 injured and 2 taken into custody = 25. At 10:17am Yahoo reported 22 injured and 3 taken into custody = 25. An early article reported before arrests were announced that 22 were injured. The 3 arrested were out of a group of 10 questioned = 13, and 10-3 was the Halftime score of the Super Bowl. Such number synchronicity may not be a conspiracy, but instead a result of some influential force acting behind the scenes of human affairs - what Helena Blavatsky called the Secret Chiefs. The word ‘Chief' is also used in the ancient Jewish text called Talmud, where such a titled referred to anyone who stood against Israel, particularly the goyim, and how they should be killed. Tract 57a of the Talmud says their “ashes are gathered” and scattered, another odd link to Ash Wednesday.Maybe Joe Buck of ESPN, veteran play-by-play voice for "Monday Night Football," was on to something when he said this of the Super Bowl: "There's going to be some story. There's going to be something that happens because it's Vegas, and it won't stay in Vegas. It's going to be a big something that happens. I don't know what it is. I have no idea. I just think that is going to be a mess in my mind." Statement made by the KC Chiefs - calling the shooting “senseless violence” - and the KC Police Chief - “people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment” - suggest we dismiss the motivations behind these events and further live in a fantasy where no violence ever occurs: remember when a homemade gun as used to kill former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe? The shootings took place in front of 800 officers, too, and it took a few bystanders to tackle a shooter despite laws against such gun violence. California's governor immediately vomited: “We need to pass a Constitutional Amendment to prevent gun violence nationwide.” The irony here is that the 2nd Amendment gave those bystanders the right to tackle one of the shooters. It's not the first shooting at a championship parade either, as others occurred in the wake of NBA and MLB celebrations as well. If violence of this sort of is planned by those other than ‘crazies', it would make far more sense to carry it out in the parade rather than the event itself since doing so would be too costly for the leagues, advertisers, etc. On our Super Bowl show, we discussed the ER in “super” and the “o” in Bowl and Champions being a different font than the rest of the letters. In Hebrew the strange E was two of the letters BET adding to 22, while the strange R was comprised of VAV and QOPH for a total 25. This was the score of the game. ERO is also the name of the god of love and passion we call cupid, who carries a bow and arrow (ero) - pronunciation reminds us of Arrowhead Stadium and the KC Chiefs logo. ERO is the quintessential Secret Chief, influencing our love from behind the scenes. Oddly, Valentine's Day was only 3 days after the Super Bowl. While 22 means ‘balance', the number 25 signifies a romantic passion associated directly with Valentine's Day and cupid or ERO.-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITEPAYPALCashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Trigger warning: Please be advised that this episode includes discussions about sexual violence. In this powerful episode, host Elliot sits down with Shiori Ito to discuss her film debut, Black Box Diaries. The documentary is a firsthand account of Shiori's harrowing experience of sexual violence by media mogul Noriyuki Yamaguchi, a man with ties to Japan's political elite, including former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Shiori's decision to speak out in a culture where sexual assault is often silenced sparked a movement that resonated far beyond her personal story. Through Shiori's unwavering resolve, Black Box Diaries critiques Japan's archaic laws surrounding sexual violence, which often leave survivors with little recourse for justice. The film transcends its role as an exposé, offering a deeply personal narrative of trauma, healing, and resilience. Shiori's journey of reclaiming her voice and confronting systemic patriarchy underscores the power of solidarity in the pursuit of truth. In this intimate conversation, Shiori reflects on the emotional toll of her fight, the necessity of breaking the silence surrounding sexual violence, and the broader societal forces that shield perpetrators from accountability. Join us for a discussion on courage, justice, and the transformative power of speaking out. Book tickets to Black Box Diaries Book tickets to CC Film Club: One From The Heart

Spooky season is upon us. Or at least it was at the time of recording. We may or may not have picked manga that corresponds with the time of year of pumpkins and costumes. Because we have the planning abilities of a local city council that keeps getting voted out every six months. Which might be justified because we keep trying to allocate the budget to building a statue to Shinzo Abe with a “Please have Sex” plaque. Tim has Fear: Reiwa Kaidan which is inline with Halloween season. It's a set of short stories. Which means it doesn't have a lot of room to breathe. This also means that … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 523: Inu Kai"

How violent are liberal democracies these days? Authorities in the US are investigating what is possibly the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump of this presidential election campaign. We ask about the probe and whether a link exists between violent rhetoric and actual acts of violence. From the assassination of Japan's former leader Shinzo Abe to the recent attempt on the life of Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico, each example is different.But is there something about America, the land of gun rights and the pioneer spirit of the Wild West, that makes it unique among Western powers? What impact does this violence have on voters? And when they count the ballots, will the pen be mightier than the sword?Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Juliette Brown.

We look at Japan's policy to boost its economy by getting more women into the workforce. It was announced back in 2013 by former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and dubbed 'Womenomics'.Mr Abe gave a deadline of 2020 to significantly increase the number of women in leadership roles. But that date quietly came and went without the target even getting close.However could things could be starting to change? Japan Airlines new CEO Mitsuko Tottori is a woman, and that has restarted conversations. We hear from her, and from young women in the country about their hopes for the future.

Shinzo Abe was a Japanese politician who served as the Prime Minister of Japan. He held the position from 2006 to 2007 and then again from 2012 to 2020, making him one of the longest-serving prime ministers in Japanese history. Abe is a member of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and comes from a prominent political family; his grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, also served as Prime Minister. During his tenure, Abe pursued various economic, foreign policy, and security reforms, and he was known for his advocacy of "Abenomics," a set of economic policies aimed at revitalizing Japan's economy. Additionally, Abe's tenure saw efforts to strengthen Japan's defense capabilities and assert its presence in regional security affairs, particularly in response to concerns about China's rising influence and North Korea's nuclear program.Japan is one of the last places you'd expect to hear about gun violence, never mind a politically motivated assassination. Yet, that is exactly what happened when former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was gunned down in cold blood.(commercial at 8:36)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/japan-leader-abe-reportedly-shot-campaign-speech-86423527
