7:02 am
ah, so let's begin with breaking news out of japan state television that says the former prime minister sions. a lobby has been shot and taken to a hospital. it happened that a campaigned event in the city of nara, that's near soccer. there are reports that a 42 year old man has been arrested. let's get more in this building floor installation joins us live from the malaysian capital calling on performance. so this is a breaking news story now. event. so moving pretty quickly, what more details have you got for us now? while we do know that chin robbie, the former prime minister of japan has been taken to hospital, but we do not know what condition he is in or the extent of his injuries. now we are seeing photos of him lying on the ground and appears to be blood stains on his white shirt. the people around him who appear to be performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. that's an emergency life saving procedure performed when the hot stops bills are getting reports that he appeared to be unconscious and suffering
7:03 am
from cardiac arrest when he was taken to hospital. now, as you mentioned, a 42 year old man is reported to have been taken into custody. we are also getting reports that a weapon, a gun has been recovered from the scene. and this is believed to have been the weapon that was used to fire on shins ave. now it has to be said that this is very shocking, not just for the war, but especially in japan gun crime. it's very bred. japan has very strict laws on private ownership of guns. it also has one of the lowest rates of gun crime in the world. and of course the violence against politicians is also very rare. as this is coming. as very shocking news for japan or florence will rely 1st in college performance. thanks for the update. let's bring in been to our shop law. he's an a junk professor, political science and international affairs at temple university japan. he joins us from tokyo. so just took us through the next dream, the tragic set of events. tell us what details you been hearing there in the
7:04 am
capital. while the details are still scarce at the moment, but it's certainly a very shocking advance as the previous corresponded with saying, this is certainly not something we are used to seeing and toko. we never had this kind of gun violence, one of the lowest rates of homicide in the world. and also politicians usually probably think the political game in japan doesn't tend to be rife with any kind of violence. so this comes as a shock to everyone, especially considering the stature of the importance, the victim of operations, though, one of the most important post war politicians for japan. so all these elements together and make this and all the more tragic and surprising events. and then why do we know which hospital he was taken and the extent of his injuries, and then some report suggests he's non responsive and could even be dead. absolutely. so i do not have the information as far as is a hospital is concerned,
7:05 am
but yeah, the, the injury seemed to be extensive. apparently he was shot twice and is said to be under cardiopulmonary arrest, which is usually not a good sign for these kinds for these kinds of injuries. so obviously we're hoping to the best, i'm sure we're going to get some more information of the next few hours, but as of now and especially given how close range all of this happened, things do not look particularly good, but it's too early to, to, to tell that the real consequences here been while we know that without on the campaign trail, giving a speech in the western city of nora, give us a bit more detail about why he was out campaigning. what was he doing while we have a legislative election coming shortly in japan and. 1 operations though, even though he stepped down as prime minister about a year and a half ago now, he continues to be an important politician. he has stepped down from his role within the l. v. p, the ruling liberal democratic party. so as any candidate would do at this point,
7:06 am
he would be campaign and he would be on the campaign trail and not off is an important city. the con fire region is an important region. so that would explain why he would be giving a speech and that city. what more can you tell us? better about him. so we know he was a 2 time prime minister, one of the youngest prime ministers since the war. no, absolutely. he's a towering figure in japanese politics. he is now after spending 8 years in power until a year and a half ago, he was the longest post war serving prime minister in japan. he brought to ability to a political system that tended to kind of turn out prime minister is one after another . not only that, but he was also transformative and japanese politics. he made japan much more significant player in terms of regional. and i would say even global security, japan has started taking on a much greater political, geopolitical and security role that has been much more vocal. i would say it has been much more muscular in its defense policy. so truly
7:07 am
a giant of politics in japan and how much of a sock will this come to ordinary people in japan, as you say, violence against politicians in japan is extremely rare. been about absolutely. you shocked to everyone, really. i mean, one of the things we talked about in japan, i talk about that with not only japanese people, but also foreigners living in japan. is this incredible sense of security of safety? this is something that we don't see in any other and developing country. it has, as i mentioned earlier, with the lowest rates of homicide, but also one of the lowest rates of violence on people that as a matter of fact. so these kinds of events, especially in a big cedar, like told joe, even though we have the metropolitan area, has 38000000 people, it is incredibly safe. so these kinds of events is simply does not register for people. it's not something that we expect at at any time, frankly. so yeah, truly shocking day. alright, i've been one of the shutter off. thank you very much for that. so for those you as,
7:08 am
as joining us, let me just update you with the, the breaking news story here that the former japanese prime minister chalabi has reportedly been shot and he's been taken to hospital. he was not campaigning in the western city of nora. that's nero soccer in the west of the country. it happened at this campaign event, and there are reports there. 42 year old man has been arrested. obviously, we'll get more details on that as they come into us here at al jazeera, let's move on bars. johnson has resigned as leader of the u. k. a ruling conservative party setting the stage for leadership race that could take weeks. he'll continue, can't take a prime minister onto a party member, select his successor, but cools, are growing for his immediate departure, where we challenge reports from london. the british politics that brilliant with the in system as far as johnson put it punishes vulnerability. good afternoon, everybody, and even the man once famously described as a greased pigment, couldn't wriggle out of this one. i want you to know how sad i am,
7:09 am
to be giving up the best job in the world. but then the brakes going not yet gone far as the prime minister is to become boris. the caretaker, prime minister, it is clearly not the will of the parliamentary, conservative party that should be a new leader of that party. and that a new prime minister. and i agree with the great brady, the chairman of our back bench, m p, 's, that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now. and the time table will be an ard next week. and either today appoint you to cabinet to serve as i will until the new data is in place. it was a speech show on contrition, and it gave the impression of johnson as the victim, rather than the agent of his own demise. since tuesday, when key cabinet ministers, santi, job aid, and richie sue not quit. the pace at which johnson supportive operated was astonishing the chris pincher affair. and what johnson knew about previous sexual
7:10 am
misconduct congregations against the m. p. was a scandal too far? by thursday morning, the number of resignations had passed 50 and counting. as an old westman the saying that a week is a long time in politics. we're currently that unit of measurement seems quaintly inadequate. try an hour, maybe 5 minutes. and there are many conservatives for whom speed has become vitally important. they don't want forrest johnson hanging around for months until a replacement is found. they want him gone. now, george freeman, for example, who resigned as science minister? sadly, he carries with him a huge magnetic field force of instability and it's disruptive and divisive. and it's been a strength, as a campaigner, it's been a huge weakness as the prime minister in the government as the last few weeks a month showed. so who will be the next prime minister,
7:11 am
m p 's would like to feel reduced to, to within a couple of weeks, some already throwing their hats in the ring in every private soldier's backpack. there was a field marshal's battle. having seen the performance of our cabinets over the last 12 months, i think i would be encouraged to stand justice. past leadership races have shown candidates are often successful because of who they aren't, rather than who they are. and if the conservative party have any sense, it will learn the lessons for us. johnson, the tumultuous time and power will reach helen's. now to 0 london, russia foreign minister has come face to face with some of moscow's fears. his critics at a g 20 gathering in indonesia, so they allow robes 1st personal encounter with foreign ministers from western countries. since russia invaded ukraine lab, rome had planned to meet some of his counterparts on the sidelines of the summit, and many of them have refused, including us sexual state. anthony lincoln next spring, and jessica washington, she's live for us from bonnie jessica. so again, lots of presidents, there's lots of course,
7:12 am
some tension. so i was the show down like it's play out. do we think? well that's exactly right. and we were there a short while ago when the ministers arrived and it was, you know, just a standard sort of walk and shake hands with the intonation, foreign minister. and then go into the conference room that wednesday left off arrive. that was when you could sort of sense the tension in the room, and a few journalists shouted out at him when will russia and the war? and that really points to that. the fact that the war in the ukraine really is the most salient issue. while g 20 foreign ministers meet this week. these important to note however, that while us the us at its western allies have taken the approach of trying to isolate russia, trying not to engage with russia. some ministers already saying that they would not shake his hand. for example, during the course of the conference. others saying that they would not pursue any bilateral talk that russia does still have friends within the g 20, who have met with the minister for these bilateral sessions. some of those
7:13 am
countries we understand that we'll be meeting with the over the course of his visit to bali include south africa, mexico. he will also meet with the indonesian foreign minister and of course, yesterday afternoon, he met with the chinese foreign minister in a statement. the chinese foreign ministry said that china upholds its object objective and fair position and its focus on promoting piece effort, piece, and efforts conducive to a peaceful resolution. aging is among those that have not, yes, condemned the russian invasion of ukraine. and russia still has these ties within the g 20 countries countries which aren't necessarily looking to deposit blame at towards russia, but are looking for solutions to these global problems. and that is really the, the tricky situation that indonesia, as the host of g 20 this year is in, there are countries that are looking for accountability from russia for the issues that the world is facing at this point. mainly food insecurity and energy and
7:14 am
security. but other countries are looking for an approach that doesn't necessarily call for accountability, but called for solutions. earlier we heard from the nation foreign minister retinal, my city, and she addressed the minister's presence before her, including also not the ukrainian foreign minister, but delegates representing ukraine, saying that global problems need global solutions and calling for the world to recognize the importance of multilateralism, indonesia has tried to push for this unified approach throughout the course of its g. 20 presidency under the theme of recovery together, recover stronger, hoping to keep the world's focused on issues such as post pandemic, economic recovery. what really remains to be seen is whether or not that is actually possible. the ministers are in a closed conference at the moment. so we can't at this stage say how those meetings have gone. alright, jessica washington life is invited. jessica, thank you. let's also to come here now does here including piecing together

7:19 am
seriously wounded or possibly he has died, but haven't beneficially called the son. he was campaigning on behalf of the current prime minister for me. ok, shita anders. it's basically a national campaign season right now in japan. so he was out there like many other politicians sort of just giving his speeches and trying to bring out the voters. apparently he was wearing a t shirt. like i said, he approached the former prime minister from behind the photographs and video makes pretty clear that he was not right up against the prime minister. was probably 15 or 20 feet away when he fired white smoke came from whatever the firearm was. some of the report say that it may have been a little bit larger than a pistol, but we don't know what kind of firearm it was at this time. now there been protests in haiti on the 1st anniversary of the assassination of president governor movies the killing and the resulting power vacuum triggered an increase in violence by
7:20 am
criminal gangs and a massive political crisis. i was under katy reports assembler ceremony for a country. and as a re, a year after president's job in illinois was assassinated, haitian alternatives and diplomats met to mark the occasion. the current acting president at lee says he's committed to seek justice. i'm determined to encourage the continuation of the investigation until its conclusion . patient justice can count on the unconditional support of the government. despite its weaknesses, the justice system must continue to track down and since the culprit and so that our country will never have to go through such drama again. oh, but despite dozens of the rest, including a group of colombian mercenaries, haiti's investigation remained stalled and many accusing himself of being involved after he fired his justice minister and a prosecutor. last year,
7:21 am
when they called for him to be investigated in connection with the murder. he denies any involvement of thursday 100 stick to the streets of the capital part, the prince in protest, burning tires and calling for n 33. the nation. the prime minister must go to jail because he was involved in killing the prisoner. this is not normal to 21st century shock, but his legacy will not done. we will continue. some of the rest of the columbia and mercenaries has released the video saying they have gone over 70 hours without food. they haven't charged and haven't had access to a lawyer for a separate investigation in the us has led to 3 arrests, including a former us government criminal informant in a statement. thursday, us secretary of state anthony, blinking said the u. s. remains concerned about the limited progress of investigation since the killing,
7:22 am
the already fragile economic and political situation in the country fell deeper into dysfunction as the gangs took over large parts of the capital. thousands of people have been killed, tortured or forced to leave. why, what has happened here before the bath? he has shown that show curt, do not work though he quite his is getting worse. so we need to talk all the issue . we need to make sure that we fight game violence and have a political consensus and have free election. but when none of these options on the horizon, patients are less than a grim tyrell of violence and impunity. that sees an ever growing number of them ready to risk your life to leave the country. allison algebra. let's bring in laurel la martinez, the former haitian prime minister joins us live now from miami. how worrying been all these latest protests you're seeing on the streets of haiti? you mean it's the 1st anniversary of the killing of germany, movies. but people are also angry about gang violence and also the rising cost of
7:23 am
living. there is a general feeling of our anger, either the situation specially at the impunity and have defied that b. this horrible assassination is to be, be investigation is frozen. as you said in the, in the, in the report, people are frustrated. people that understand what's going on and specially that the you, that the united nations has a mission lady, was requested to open, at least to send the commission of inquiry, or to help lady of been in lebanon with the route for carry reacts us mission. and they have been absolutely nothing. so people are pogue. at this, a reaction from the united nations and haiti's acting, president ariel already says he's committed to seeking justice. but as you say, the investigation into the assassination has stoled shipping. haitians will ever
7:24 am
know the truth behind the killing. well, this is good for that reason that we need to have an international body intervene and help and assist in this investigation, especially that the former prime minister clerk joseph had requested officially for the international community to help one year after nothing was done. and as expected, the investigation now stalled, haiti alone will not be able to carry out this sort of investigation. i mean, you know, the world needs to know the truth. the president was assassinated at his house at 2 in the morning, shut 12 times in the face. okay. and one year later, nothing happened. many of the protest as though say that i real all res, implicated in the killing of marie's not coding for him to resign, but is not likely to make the political instability to hate even worse. do you think? well, that might be the case and there is many accusations. i mean there is, you know,
7:25 am
many finger pointing and, and this is why i, you know, we felt bad. you know, we need to have a neutral body. it come in and help out with the situation. otherwise it's gonna be very hard and difficult for hated to regain. you know, that peaceful environment. people are extremely upset and, and, and not, not understanding as why after one year. okay. everything is frozen at laurel amount. let me get a final thought from you. i mean, many people i see haiti as a fail state. we've seen a rise in gang violence, the economies in shambles. there's no end to the political instability. we've just talked about that as a former prime minister. do you have any optimism about the future of haiti about the future of your country? well, i believe that that he has gone through very difficult time. we've had 2 earthquakes
7:26 am
in the past. 15 years. we've had the assassination of president, so we couldn't get a break. and, and to me there is great challenges, but i believe that he the will arise. that will be the challenges. but we need to help today, and they help that's needed is to get through an election and get an elected government empower and get this investigation on the week to find those that have fine end oligarchs. that, that, that were threatening the president that have, you know, people need to know what happened and fill them. if you can get back to, you know, i'm democracy and a peaceful transition into a stable state law. very good. talking to you. thank you very much indeed. sir, for your time. thank you. thank you very much. to sedan our citizens are being held in various parts of the capitol cartoon. just days after the military announced it was drawing from talks with political parties to form
