the threats to it as a re let the national invest often and the means of democracy to take over the dividends of democracy and criticize it in an ex essential way. many other this debate is taking place at the time when we are facing immense jerry political challenges will prosperity, the climate and technological revolution? for all these reasons, it's important people drive to vote and the european elections. when this city was divided, walking through the brandon board gate was near impossible, for most people, narrow berliners and tourists do it every day. so there was the chance for my call and his wife to join in. 2 and then an impromptu woke about only onto the lid before returning to the shallows, busy for a banquet, and he's on the pomp and ceremony on show here in the gym and capital on sunday has been very much the fault of the of, of these 3 day visit the main event will come on monday and on tuesday with visits

to place them in the old east, germany, and to munster in the old west germany dominant came alger 0 bully. there would be more practice in georgia. demonstrate is, once again took to the streets and the campus of police, you to denounce and bill which targets and use and media houses receiving funding from the full even though the proposed always be tied by the president and piece of really consecutive georgia. dream policy say they will have a ton that's during the session of condiments on tuesday. at least 15 people are being killed by tornadoes in the us tonight as tor across the us state of texas, oklahoma knocking so the storm is attending, so it kind 1000000 that's there for me when that one is coming right up to you soon by the on counting the costs to us escalates its trade with china,

but does it have the upper hand to the sugar industry is in crisis. all the pots of its full spring economy could also be effective. plus the moving shortage in critical minerals needed for the energy transition. counting the cost on al jazeera in japan, 2 bowls often leads to one parent losing contact with the kids that i see. but to take that so they don't have to kind of make the says is a lot there are, i wasn't thinking i don't use usually ground sole custody to whoever was well, physically was a child, which critics say encourages parents to have done their kids. i came back to the jazz and i quickly realized that that was, it might, might, and my kids have been taken. now the country is changing a little too without judges to impose joint custody. i just want to have

a relationship with 4 people. but this opposition, including from survivors of domestic violence, the soonest will pick them up. i know most of helpline, sol dawson, i gave them a one. 0, one east investigates japan's parental child abductions. the, this is, the road is booming. who knows what? she travels at several times and it's a journey by desperation. the funny

to add to that you got the zoo be hasn't spoken to a son and 2 daughters for 7 years notes and she says this father abducted the about what pushing out sort of the kind of data you know, let us know. look at the best time to ship the room where you are students full of the the tube in child custody is always a sad process. but most of it seems in japan. when more than a 100000 children lose contact with the parents every year. assume he lives in a modest one, bedroom ground floor, a pop and in chief about 50 kilometers from tokyo. she just manages to

support himself by selling insurance in the civil what, what the state of florida. and i know this google gets there will be going to can, you'll be sure to make sure what those fit kind of big that you know, how come it fit on it. so give me a couple of tell us, i mean i don't think of something and i see a judge suggested that she and her children could send each other 6 that is a year. so that's the extent of that contact. told me that i hit one, which i think okay. that the tickets ok. didn't know captain. what kind of night got us logged in on monday kind of did when i finished what's the next day? as well as it seemed. jessica is, she's also received abusive messages from the children, quoting this cupid,

and tending it a go to hell for you or full. so what that to you on the cost of the, for the show good. at that, you know, got it. so it is okay. don't look the call you hold on, i don't see it go through the night it when i drove to find me either one of them has been issued by that when it will be decided to leave a husband, it became a race to get the children initially they were with her, but within 4 months, they were living with a husband. and a judge rules. that's where they should stay. finding that as a children's father, he hadn't kidnapped them. i know i marshal to us. i don't know if i did not know what to say. i got them. i did. you've seen the sales there who need the shuttle service. you had told me i need go wow. one type launch or

since the for the one i hated the ocean just did that book. i forgot that twice me has off the quote to ground to physical access to her children. both times it was denied. a 3rd petition is on going to it, isn't it in the line of the thing? what it's called a little puzzle. that's the was it that i think the shinji co jima has also lost out in japan schools. it's been paid years since he last saw his own tough. the sole custody was prompted to his ex wife the full of books, almost as not to use his real name. child custody disputes are

a sensitive issue in japan for 6 months t. so is young. some once or twice a month, but then everything changed like i well the thing about the possibility of a full scale more like, you know, that kind of that's got the i wanted to talk to you a little bit to the done the the see says this video boy pleads to stay with shinji when his mother comes to collective, the monthly to shinji says he did what any father would do. he didn't return his son. his wife took him to cold, but the video had the opposite effect. yeah, lets as in the, in the me that is

the last time father and son. so each of that was when shinji was arrested last meeting at at 90 my state. no, i continued to do an open invitation for ya talk during my stay where you didn't have any opening up the upload and then have it going to. the other thing, what those i skipped, the tire was done to get them off. he was hill. the 3 main, so this police station sharing a cell with other main let's go down to tennessee or something. it's just a couple of miles away. and as i said, it was one of them, you know, frustrated by so we'll get some more to give me light them up on

the so presumably and i see the binding with any kind of music. oh, that's a good question. shinji says he was only released up to pleading guilty to kidnapping his son to the mobiles a hold on one of the service and more or less or more with a more this is so you want to just say about a little guy says is even monday law i and i told me to the fees now remarried and has 2 children. both are kind of a high level, but is there one moment or more? we'll be out of the room. looked at what about the medical demo that anymore. give me that senior. okay. when do you think i was in there to the site? don't?

we must a my email the more. when he's on heck, right. that doing it to me. it's not just jeff denise parents to being fighting to the country. so custody little but for those to some of them are at this gathering. it's so cold. this behind parents who've been denied the right to see the children and dr. growing international pressure on may, the 17th 2024, japan's parliament changed a little, allowing the cold to impose joint custody. if it's deemed in the best interests of the child, the parting must minimize any other needs. do you believe you'll see your child again?

you can see that those and do you still have faith in japan's justice system? since the frenchman vincent v show has been at the full front of the left behind parents campaign. it's called the form of finance. here is high flying career p law. so his 2 children in august 2018 at the start of what he thought would be just another day on friday, 10th, 2008. and i came back from work and the house was empty. some thoughts or feelings and i quickly realized that that was, it might, might, and my kids had been taken and i tried getting ahold of my wife and she would and she would have replied and then i went to, um, i went to the mailbox and i got a letter from her lawyer saying that my, my kids were taken, that i should not expect to see them again. email,

it's back home with his parents in the french city of miles say, returning to tokyo with every can. when he last saw his children, they would just instance it's tough because you know what i mean. so if y'all could send, i could just provide them to districts without and i wouldn't even recognize them. but the hardest part is not knowing how they looked like is, is not knowing how they are they all, it's all healthy. it's all happy and even if they need anything. so this is very difficult to to, to handle it to different vincent has resulted to desperate measures during the 2012, due on tokyo and in fix. he went on hunger strike for 20 days, losing 14 kilos. 3 years on he refuses to give up on his children. do you think you'll ever see them again?

of course, because that i wouldn't be fighting if there was no hopes. but i think it's going to take them out of 10 to 15 years. he's now one is his lawyer having already sped will the $300000.00 on legal fees? i key right away. no. says the change to the law is superficial, but concedes it's his clients only have to have home phone guy cycle timeline. so they're small. i don't know, i don't hire me for some of the pilots thinking are also not getting off on the not that i see 40 to investigate with it. so then i'll get into the night with a few rough was it left behind parent himself. he knows to well how difficult it is to in custody cases when the other parent has taken the children. how many cases have you taken on? and the best thing being was supposed to have done. why have gainesville getting

and how many of you one, a cost dental uh, uh it can douglas demo somebody mall, so noble folks on the beat was that they'll kill for those i buy. so there's pretty guys out there. vincent says, unless the new law is properly enforced, it's destined to fail. below is not gonna change much, i guess for me no more thing that is going to bring change for the next generation of children. but really it won't change anything to me. and the reason i'm saying that is the issue is not the low and drip on the it's front of the root of light. as it is a means case, a judge ruled they've been since children with mealy taken away and not kidnapped. it's a way for the job and the system to circumvent an international and, and even jump and subjugation to wisconsin abduction because they don't call each

and abduction to say. so if you go to the police, it would be fuse you to choose that to. and when i was in court, many times i was telling the judge that my children had been abducted and i was threatened to be escorted out of the room. and i kept on using that word. japan's government has consistently claimed it's compliant with international law. the. this is the family called with a face that so many children in japan is decided it's under the control of the justice administrator with officials declined our request for an interview. the so believe is of domestic violence, of being among the most vocal critics of custody reforms. they want the new legislation script because they fear it could expose them and their children to

danger the the this mother agreed to speak with what a one east of her lawyers office as long as we didn't identify her model. what is required. so starting with the surgical and all of that, and i don't, yeah, lots of stick with them. and i got to she says she left the relationship of 2 years of verbal and economic abuse and co us of control. she and her daughter, i've had no contact with the full my husband since 2010 a. there was an old muscle to come up. i know what to paul blunt, told ellison, i guess. i know you guys are up instituting each day. you know that the cool, you know, out of source 30 to thought most higher, couldn't volume up vertical food. they took off city japan spiegel systems as being

adults with its reputation as one of the world's most developed countries. it's part of the g 7. i didn't really think it will the nation, but until now japan was the only man that nope. so deeply recognized the joint custody allies including australia, germany, and this elite of posted travel advisories. holding up the thread of parental child abductions or is supposed to bring japan in line with most of the world. but no one it seems. is happy. parents separated from the children say it doesn't go far enough. and victims of domestic violence say it could one small expose them to danger. and then as the voices of the children, one of them is now a young adult has agreed to talk to us the

city. so matt was born in america, would have spent 3 quarters of his life in japan. his japanese mother brought him here when he was 7. has to be hi, it's adrian brown. he says she, they to told him thinks that his father was insane. at school he felt different and that's time. i think that makes various people. it's not that common was not that common in japan. my background was from a totally different culture from japan. so i stood up. i felt absolutely lonely because most family it has both parents and they have a happy life there. but for me, i just have my mother and my grandparents and also on my father so much so i really missed him. his classmates, clothing guys in the japanese wood for outside to he says he spoke to install

through a few times on the phone before his mother tobate's to the contract. so the last time that my father was when i was 11 or 12 years old, my mother had an explain the doubt much about why i came to japan. and that was a big question for me. and i always wanted to know why i can see my father looking for on says he began to search to find his father. he eventually discovered him on facebook, living in texas in 2023. and so we went back to meet him. well i think most people imagine like a really emotional meeting by hugging each other,

but actually it wasn't felt like that they hadn't spoken for 11 years. he says at 1st the reunion was oakwood. we are father and son. but we need to the opportunity to, to build the relationship. so i guess that i have to ask as a son, and my father has to also add to add as a father, but he doesn't know how to the leasing with his father was a monk come for us to the one. do you have with his mother when he returned? and i thought very upset because there were so many stories that i heard. so we had a pretty big fight. his mother has now cut off contact with him to

hold out hope that there can be a reconciliation. i really hope so. i just love both parents. so if i take my mother lose my father, if i take my father, i know there's no i just don't want that. i just want to have a relationship with both people. you don't want to take sides. yeah. i don't want to take sides. i don't how does that? he says his childhood left him with low self esteem. he welcomes the change to little. but i think it is a really good change. i believe that every children has the right to build a relationship with both parents. that means that adults to support the children's opinions. if i had to spend more time with my

father, i'm sure that i was a more confidence to myself to accuse west suite a university as one of the country's most prestigious, no faculties. i've come here to meet professor must so you can kind of more headaches. but in japanese families the government sold his advice of the legal reform causal to that. and you'll see a little more about that. it's down to them. first of 2 connor got the grading and put them all zeroed up on what date on this one, what i'm going, you know, what i can do, you know, just it was over needed there. but his recommendation that the quote consider the child wishes was ignored. syria hung up the whole day. ok. picking

a height on it. he also feels judges have too much power in child custody cases. since or near. i just don't know how you doing the higher i knew what should already know that a little you also can or can all say that's kind of ready to come. so they're gonna save on, gotten you the hon dongle, turn out to you from, oh, hold on. what the data store is. remote in the mess on how you doing it. description. we'll join it, see about it, or in this case, more the, the change to the little would be totally implemented until 2026. well, this is the bill, or rather a photocopy of the bill. and as you can see, it's a pretty way to legal documents, lots of words about joint costs that a sole custody of calls watts in the best interest of the child. but there's one

issue. this document doesn't address parental abduction. every one we spoke to has been to the government to the emotions, grief, dispatch, 10, set the and only sides of this debate. there's agreement on one thing. japan justice system has made a bad situation. the males fusion is a long way from the frenzy attempt to us it's one of japan's most enduring and powerful for follows of both buddhism and should tourism regard it as a sacred, spiritual, and lucky place. in g tries to visit this temple in its shadow once

a month. all the technical sales that they scott best of the loading. all right, i have you on the phone with daniel for you not even though he's tried everything else. he says, so why not press. busy so when you, 1st of all, that's the most the most and many more excited that you know, if i went to the face on the
