u.s. japan alliance it's primarily a conflict between china and various claimants throughout east asia and southeast asia in which they feel that rather than resolve these issues through normal international dispute settlements, that they are flexing their muscles. and we have said to china, what we would say to any country in that circumstance that's the wrong way to go about it. and we will continue to work with all countries in the region starting with our treaty allies to make sure that basic international norms continue to be observed. >> on the issue of women i am deeply pained to think about the women who

have experienced immeasurable pain and suffering as a result of the victimization few to human trafficking. has no vince to revise it. based on this position, japan has made various efforts to provide realistic relief for the comfort of women. and throughout the history of the 20th century women's dignity and basic rights have been infringed upon in wars. we intend to make the twenty-first century a world where no human rights violations against women. i promised that the general assembly of the united nations last year, that japan would stand up before and lead the international community

in eliminating sexual violence during conflicts. for an international frame work including the u.n. women japan provided approximately $12 million in 2014. and decided it would provide $22 million in 2015. in any case, the won't first century should be an age where women's rights it's never been -- that is for our strong resolve. thank you very much. i would like to adjust this question to president obama.

in the east china sea, and south china sea china continues to make fore rays into the ocean the islamic state is still very active, how does the united states and japan intend to collaborate, and what do you expect of each other in terms of actions? in japan with regard to the acceptance of exercises and the new guidance there's a strong concern that the japan will become involved in america's war, how does the prime minister plan to disspell this. and what is the take on the terms? >> first of all on extremism and radicalism, which is on the rise. the world community should unite to counter such extremism.

moderation is the best method. we have to face an extremism there are moderates who at the very front, are facing extremism, and we want to support this. with the rise of extremism, there are refugees and support to these refugees and also there the influx, there are countries that face difficulties. to these countries it is important that we provide support appropriately and to the moderate countries we need to tell them that they are not alone, they are not isolated in the

society the moderate countries should be supported and we need to express that. at all times i believe that is important. in the middle east, there are people living there improving the area these areas -- so from that stand point, united nations and japan would like to cooperate to respond to the challenges. another point, the guidance. the defense guidance. and with regard to the security legislation. that we may be involved get caught up in wars. people can label this in some cases. it is very unfortunate labeling activities of this kind is not the first time it has occurred.

in 1960, when we advised that the security treaty people some people said that we will be involved in wars of the united states. and that was before the criticism which was aired then. it's been 55 years since then. this criticism has been proved totally wrong and that is very clear and evident. history has proved this. our choice made at the time to revise the security traditor and in case japan suffers from aggression, between japan and the united states that we would respond to the cooperation. and in the far east, to maintain security, japan's facilities would be leveraged

& the u.s. military would leverage to such activities japan's safety would be -- was protected and prosperity happened and safety in the asia pacific has been maintained. to further strengthen this trend. is provided for through the new guidance, and seemless response is made possible and by so doing the deterrence would be in hand. japan and u.s. alliance would be more efficient and more functional. deterrence and response capabilities would be heightened as a result. and this would lead to peace and prosperity in japan. and regional peace and prosperity as well, this is my firm conviction. in the streamlining of the laws i should like to explain to the citizens and the parliament the detailed

fashion. ultimately the people of japan, and their rights will be making decisions about how boast to approach their defense. blue i think it is important to notice, prime minister ave said we have seen over multiple decades that japan is a peace loving country. having absorbed some very difficult lessons from the past. japan does not engang in aggression on the international stage or in it's region. and that the alliance that has been built with the united states is prescription my one that seeks to defend our countries from potential

attack or aggression. and what the new defense guidance and the collective defense approach that he is proposing simply upgrades our ability to carry out those functions. we do share as people in countries all around the world share a determination to eliminate the kind of boar baric terrorist acts perpetrated by organizations like isil. that have related in the death of independent citizens. from the united states, from japan, from other countries and most of all from muslim countries. and that's why we have a brad based coalition designed to

defeat isil. and we will continue to work with a wide range of countries around the word, in our counter terrorism efforts. japan's cooperation in that is vital and appreciated. but there are many ways in which coalition members participate. japan's willingness and commitment to provide humanitarian assistance makes an enormous difference. in japan's willingness to serve in areas of peace keeping, and working with other countries to rebuild after they have been destroyed makes a big difference. so i think it is important to recognize we do not expect some instant and major transformation in terms of how japan projects military

power, but we do expect that japan like all of our allies and like ourselves will continue to adapt to new threats upsing that our basic core principle is not territorial ambition, it is not aggression towards others but to defend prosperity, and liberty, and the sovereignty of countries. as we have done tot for a very long time. >> on the streets of baltimore, the latest after math high profile confrontations between black men and police officers. there seems to be growing frustration among african-american leaders that not enough is being done, quickly enough.

the u.s. in a state of emergency of tremendous proportions, the president of the ncap legal defense funds says we are in the throes of a legal crisis. are we in the throes of a legal crisis? what are you prepared to do about it? and what do you say to critics that say since the death of trayvon martin you have not been aggressive enough in your response? and to prime minister, how important is a pacific trade deal to keeping the influence of china in check both economically and materially, and do you agree with president obama when he says failing to complete a deal with further the influence? thank you. before i answer the question about baltimore, i am going to hone in on your question to the prime minister. i have been very clear that t.p.p. is good for american businesses and american workers.

regardless of what china is doing. and we will make the case on the merits as to why it will open up markets for american goods american ebbs ports and create american jobs. so this is part and parcel of our economic agenda moving forward. when 95% of our markets are outside our shores, we have to keep competing. with respect to baltimore let me make a couple of points. first, our thoughts continue to be with the family of freddie gray, they understandably want answers. the d.o.j. has opened an investigation, it is working with local law enforcement to find out what happened and i think there should be full transparency.

second my thoughts are with the police officer that were injured last night it underscores that that's a tough job. and we have to keep that in mind and my hope is that they can heal, and get back to work. as soon as possible. point number three. there's no excuse for the kind of violence we saw yesterday. it is counter productive, when individuals get crow bars and start prying open doors to loot, they are not protesting. they are not making a statement. they are stealing. when they burn down a building they are committing arson. and they are destroying and upmining businesses and opportunities in their own communities.

that rob jobs and opportunities from people in that area. so it is entirely appropriate that the mayor of baltimore who i spoke to yesterday and the governor, who i spoke to yesterday, work to stop that kind of senseless violence and destruction. that is not a protest. that is not a statement. it is a hand full of people taking advantage of a situation for their own purposes and they need to be treated as criminals. point number four, the violence that happened yesterday distracted from the fact that you had seen multiple days of peaceful protests.

that were focused on entirely legitimate concerns of these communities in baltimore. led by krejci, and community leaders and they were constructive, and they were thoughtful. and frankly didn't get that much attention. and one burning building, will be looped on television over and over and over again and the thousands of demonstrators who did it the right way i think have been lost in the discussion. the overwhelming majority of the community in baltimore i think handled this appropriately, expressing real concern and outable over the possibility that our laws are not applied evenly in the case of mr. gray, and that accountability needs to exist. i think we have to give them credit. my understanding is you have some of the same organizers now going back into these communities trying to clean up in a hand full of --

criminals and thugs who tore up the place. what they were doing what those community leaders clergy and others were doing that is a statement. that's the kind of organizing that needs to take place and they deserve credit for it. point number five, and i have six. because this is important since ferguson, and the force that we put together we have seen too many instances of what appears to be police officers interacting with

individuals. primarily african american often poor, in ways that raise troubling questions. and it comes up it seems like once a week now. one every couple of weeks. and so i think it is pretty understandable why the leaders of civil rights organizations but more importantly moms and dads across the country may start saying this is rah crisis. what i'd say is this has been a slow rolling crisis this has been going on for a long time. this is not new. and we shouldn't pretend that it is new. the good news is that perhaps there's some newfound awareness because of social media and video cameras and so forth that there are

problems and challenges when it comes to policing and our laws are applied in certain communities and we have to pay attention to it. and respond. what is also good news is the task force that was made up of law enforcement and community activists that we brought together here, have. co up with very constructive concrete proposals that if adopted by local commutes, and by states, and by counties, by law enforcement in general would make a difference. wouldn't solve every problem but would make a concrete difference in rebuilding trust and making sure the overwhelming majority of effective honest, and fair law enforcement officers that they are able to do their job better because it will weed out for or retrain or put a stop to those hand full who

may be not doing what they are supposed to be doing. now the challenge for sus we don't run these police forces. again, federalize every police force in the country and force them to retrain what i can do is to start working with them collaboratively, so that they can begin this process of change themselves. and we coming out of the task force that we put tot we are now working with local communities. the department of justice has just announced a grant program for those jurisdictions that want to participate. we are going to be issuing grants for those jurisdictions that are prepared to start trying to implement some of the new training and data collection, and other things that can make a difference and we are going to keep on working with those local jurisdictions so

that they can begin to make the changes that are necessary i think it is going to be important for organizations like the fraternal order of police, and other unions to acknowledge that this is not good for police. we have to own up to the fact that occasionally there will be problems here. just as there are in enother occupation. there's some bad politician. who are corrupt. there are folks in the business community on or wall street that don't do the right thing well, there are police not doing the right thin. and rather than close ranks what we have seen is a number of thoughtful police chiefs and commissioners and others recognize that -- get their arms around this thing and work together with the community to solve the problem. and we are committed to

facilitating that process. so the heads of our cops agencies, that helps with commute police, they are already out in baltimore. our head assistant attorney general for civil rights division is already out in baltimore, but we will be working with every city and jurisdiction, around the country to try to help them implement solutions that we know work, i will make my final point. this is a pretty important issue for us. we can't just leave this to the police. i think there are police departments that have to do some soul searching. i think there's some communities that have to do some soul searching but i think we as a country have to do some soul searching. this is not new.

it's been going on for decades. without making any excuses for criminal activities what we also know, is if you have impoofierished communities that have been industrialed away of opportunities where children are born into abject poverty, they have parents often because of substance abuse problems or incarceration, or lack of education themselves can't do right by their kids, if it's more likely those kids end up in jail or dead than they go to college. in communities where there are no fathers who can provide guidance. to young men. communities that where there's no investment. and manufacturing has been stripped away.

and drugs have flooded the community, and the drug industry is the primary employer for a whole lot of folks. in those environments, if we think that we are just going to send the police to do the dirty work of containing the problems that arise there without as a nation and as a society saying what can we do to change those communities. to help lift up those communities and give those kids opportunities then we aren't going to solve this and we will go through the same cycles of periodic conflicts between the police, and communities. and the ouational riots in the streets. and everybody will feign concern until it goes away and then we go about our business as usual.

if beare serious about solving this problem we will not only have to help the police, but think about what we can do, the rest of us to make sure we are providing early education to these kids. to make sure we are reforming our criminal justice system, sos then't just a pipeline from schools to prisons. so that we are not rendering men in these communitiesen employable because of the felony record for a nonviolent drug offense. that we are making investments so they can get the training they need to find jobs. that's hard. that requires more than just the occasional news report or task force. and there's a bunch on my agenda that would make a difference right now. i am under no illusion out of this congress we will get massive investments in urban

communities. and so we'll try to find areas where we can make a difference around school reform and around job training and some investments in infrastructure, in these communities trying to attract new businesses but if we want to solve the problem if our society really wants to solve the problem we could it would just require everything saying this is important and significant. and that we don't just pay attention to these communities when rah v.c.s. burns. we don't just pay attention when a young man gets shot. orb we are paying attenall the time, because we consider those kids our kids and think they are important. and they shouldn't be living in poverty and violence. that's howl i feel. i think there are a lot of

good meaning people around the country that feel that way, but that kind of political mobilization, i think we haven't seen in quite some time. and what i try to do is to promote those ideas that would make a difference, but i think we all understand that politics is tough because it is easy to ignore those problems or treat them as a law and order issue as opposed to a broader social issue. that was a long answer, but i feel strongly about it. >> first of all on p.p.p., this is not something that we create out of consciousness about china the economic growth of the region, will be a positive and create opportunities for the united

states and the world. it is such that to the eyes of many countries it has to become a model. it should be a model for china. in that it's an ambitious attempt to create a new atmosphere in which people goods and money will flow freely within the asia pacific region. it is a new economic region. a freedom democracy basic rights and rule of law with countries that share these values and we will be creating new rules this will benefit the regional prosperity, and also have a strategic retted to regional stability. on these points they complete the tide between president obama and myself. the early conclusion of p.p.p. by achieving this

this will work on other countries nonmembers of the p.p.p. to follow rules and i believe that this will lead to prosperity. my question is addressed in relation to the answer that has been given china is working toward the establishment of the a.i.i.b. and it tends to enhance the influence in the economy and finance. what is the significance of the early conclusion of the p.p.p. and the next question is to president obama, do you have confidence or how do you intend to work on congress to pass the relation bills and how confident are you that you are able to pass this.

>> the people, goods and money, and proper rules to flow freely, without a gout, we will play affluent to the countries participated in the asia pacific and the people in the country's will be able to lead affluent lives i believe. this will feed into this. so for this purpose as well, as soon as possible, with the general public understanding told early that we would like to maybe efforts and in this complex japan and the united states with president
