ground, his shirt stained with blood. while some one attempted cpr on him. a fire department official said our bay was in cardio and pulmonary arrest. he was elevated to a hospital. the incident has shocked japan, a country with strict gun ownership laws, and low rates of gun crime. abbe came from a high profile political family. his grandfather had been a prime minister and his father was a foreign minister. after studying politics, he rose through the ranks of the liberal democratic party to hold the position of prime minister in 2006, becoming the youngest person to do so. since the 2nd room, he resigned a year later, citing health reasons that returned to par in 2012. when he set about pursuing ambitious reforms, he pushed an economic agenda dubbed up a norm x to boost japan's struggling economy. he's been described as a towering figure in japanese politics. he brought stability to

a political system that tended to kind of shown our prime ministers are one after another. on not only that, but he was also transformative and japanese politics. he made japan a much more significant player in terms of regional and i was even global security . trying to reshape japan's role in the world stage. one of our these top priorities was amending japan's pacifist constitution. which bars the country from hostile acts except in self defense. but the issue was polarizing with polls suggesting many japanese are opposed to any change. still pushed to change the constitution right up until the end. but his conservatism would lead to new frictions with his neighbors. a spat with south korea of japan's war time legacy resulted in the worst diplomatic and trade dispute for decades that contributed to japan's continuing economic problems. he also stood controversy with his neighbors

. his 2013 visit to the jasa cooney shrine which honors japan's war did. among them some convicted war criminals was widely criticized and he returned several times. but what would turn out to be his last year in office? 2020 brought the devastation of cove at 19. the economy crated ave was widely criticized from his handling the crisis. and soon after he achieved the record as japan's longest serving prime minister came the surprise announcement that he was leaving office early sighting ill health. taking that thanks, i took over the ministration. i worked hard every single day to revitalize the economy and conduct diplomacy that would protect the national interest during this time. i am proud to have taken on various challenges with the japanese people over but he never left politics remaining a member of the lower house and retaining enormous influence within the liberal

democratic party. his tragic and untimely end not only shocked the nation, but his leading sum to ask whether a security lapse contributed to his demise. earlier japan's current prime minister fully okay, shita reacted to the news of abe's death, called about more. you must say. i am very distressed and have no words. i would like to express my heartfelt condolences here in the midst of an election which forms the root democracy. it was a barbaric act which took the life of former prime minister obey. i think this is something that can never be forgiven with the strongest terms we condemn that act. he'd been incumbent in the role for the longest time at 8 years and 8 months, fulfilling his responsibilities as prime minister and showing his leadership and ability to put things in action in the face of difficult external situations and leading the country of japan and navigating us through those situations, the leading politicians have been reacting to sions ave as death with shock and

sadness of the g. 20 summit in indonesia, the us secretary of state, so that they was a great leader with a great vision. antony lincoln said that they brought us japan relations to a new height and said that it was not only a loss for japan, but for the world at 0. 1 mcbride is at the g. 20 summit in bali, rob, we've just heard from the current japanese prime minister who was defiant about continuing the campaign ahead of sundays elections. what did you make of his tribute? yeah, that's right for meo, cuz she the stepping forward dirty day with her, his nation suffering nationwide, a trauma and shock and really offering solace. but also i think a message of defiance. cuz she there returned to tokyo when it was realized just how grave the situation was along with other cabinet members, political leaders. they have all been out campaigning for these upcoming upper

house elections this weekend. that of course, was the event the ship avi was attending when a he was attacked. as he returned to tokyo, kasheila appeared a maiden, a tearful appearance in front of journalist giving his 1st response to this, calling it a barbaric and malicious act. a later, during the day when it was confirmed that abby had indeed died his mood, his tone became a far more resolute, far more defiant, saying that the election process and the campaigning will continue there have been questions just about can the process of continue? can people still go to the polls? well, the answer from casita is a resolute yes. of the elections will go ahead. they take place on sunday and that according to cuz she, there will be a way of showing your defiance in the face of what he call this aggression that pro democracy must be protected. you must never yield to violence. also paying tribute to shin, so ave, as a political leader also as a friend and to him personally as

a mentor, the longest serving japanese prime minister. and probably the best known face of japanese politics. not only domestically, but also internationally. and now no longer with us of 0, rob mcbride reporting live there from the g. 20 meeting in bali. rob many, thanks, and date john nelson wright is associate professor in bolton, japanese studies of the university of cambridge. he's also a senior fellow for northeast asia. chatham house, he joins us now live from parents, good teddy with us, a professor other than very clearly a highly respected internationally. why who? because of the enormous impact he had on japanese form policy. this is a man who really made japan into a 1st year. so many of his performs to strength national security decision making, try to provide

a much more coordinated approach to global and regional challenges. as you heard in your report. placing so much importance from the us, japan relationship he was i think he can't be underestimated. 30 single minded in his vision about making japan and theresa called normal nation a proactive country, which would focus on the importance of security, not just for japan, but for other countries. and i think when, when we consider his legacy, it's important to understand how some of the things we take for granted today in terms of japan's ability to to make the political, whether within asia and globally is very much down to mr. bay and his team. very or very early on in his tenure is prime minister. he said 2 terms as, as premier 1st in 2 101-6007 then from 2012 to 2020. it was very clear that mister ave wanted to,

to ensure that japan would be seen as being an active international defender of the rules based international order. and is very much down to his efforts to give japan the flexibility through changes in terms of legislation to allow japan to not only work with united states, but with a whole host of other actors in asia with australia. very importantly with southeast asian nations, thailand. with the philippines with other countries and also very importantly, as we're seeing today with european countries with britain, i'm with france, i in my own work, working with british colleagues. i mean, it's been striking to me, how much is to, are they not only emphasize the importance of international cooperation, but was also very much focused on using public diplomacy to reinforce those international and gender issues, whether it's security,

addressing climate change and for his own. i think very important reasons at home tackling economic problems. of course, i'm going to to him, i've been on there so many areas are, will be sorely missed professor, how will the people of japan remember, the former prime minister, you mentioned all i know makes that at also his party is political party, the p. well i think this tommy was the central ensuring that the l d p would once again be seen as the natural part of your government. it came into the back of the previous administration, the democratic party in japan, that it governed from 2000 to 2012. he has steadily built up, i think renewed confidence in the l. d. p. going ahead into the selections on sunday for the house, the l. d. p is to clear favorite public opinion. like any politician mister abbe had a, they mixed record. but i think the public will be very conscious of the human. the

pedestal tragedy. the tragedy of losing a man who had so much impact on japanese politics. and i think the country will be united and trying to, to do with kesha, i think has just been editing them to do to show up at the polls. to demonstrate the commitment to democracy, to not allow this tragic event to discourage people from expressing that, that political preferences. and i think we will see an eye pouring of public grief . and i think a profound sense of short that this could happen in japan after all these sorts of activities or anything button will in any country, but particularly in japan, where though to the citizens value, the importance of public domestic security. good story here, professor manufacture date for being with us. the john mayer from right in paris to a football summer seni, a former official set blotter on the shell,

patina have been acquitted of corruption. both were found not guilty by a court in switzerland. the case was centered on a payment of $2000000.00 from favor to plotting with black as approval in 2011, both end of long denied any wrong. doing sure. i mean, i said this case of i am not in a sent in my life, but in this case i am innocent in which cases are you not innocent stoplight, you'll help it stop bait. exactly like if you lie it with 7 years when i speak about that i attended to school if with both never, never beauty. if he found that with me on this, these institutional 15 to appeal to her, because the cas inevitably met that had been added to norma. it could be that it was a great victory for govern hamilton as an international football journalist and the

editor of sport business. he was taken aback by the verdict to surprise. i think that they've been acquitted, but platter has always maintained his innocence. this is the case that goes back many years, of course, right back so that the payments were literally made in, in, in 2010 a. he's now a very old man. he's 86. so you can see from the pictures outside the court that he, sir, he's not in the best of health. ah, but this is, ah, ah, he, he would, he would claim that he is innocent. he's been off to this for a long time of but, but it's, it's, it's come to light in his, in his live very light in his life. platinum, i still wants to return to football and, and play a role in football and he may well now a seek, some sort of office with him football. ah, so they will be pleased with the fed, obviously in the lowest. but it's, it's been a messy affairs. expose a lot of the, the shenanigans inside fee for and, and the way the business was done within fee for, for many years under

a platter regime and, and we mustn't forget the batter. oversaw a system, a fee for that involved enormous amount of corruption. we've seen so many tv deals and people a convicted in, in america, of her crimes and, and corruption and, and many people still awaiting justice in, in, in the united states because of the fee for gate investigation. so this is a huge and a long drawn out of her. still to come here on out as there are taps are running dry and lebanon, a roofs water supply is on the brink of collapse. ah, the journey has begun. the 34 world copies on its way to catherine book, your travel package to day i once again welcome to another look at the international forecast. we still got some showers in the forecast, the japan over the next couple of days. our old tropical storm,

that still not too far away said we are dragging in little bit of wet weather here . go on through sass day, but the showers will become increasingly few and far between as we go on through the weekend. but if we celsius there for turkey and for a sarcasm wet weather, we've seen some flooding into northern parts of north career. some lady down paused, continuing here as we go through sashay and on in to sunday, hope a little dry by sunday. wet weather will be coming across sir. norm parts of china easing over to was yellow sea could even see some wet weather just creeping its way into shanghai by the end of sun by further south, generally, while a one or 2 showers down towards hong kong, towards the south china sea. plenty of showers, meanwhile, the monsoon res. rudy had picked up across a good part of india. heaviest downpours across the western side of india. we do have red wall is in force here. even in the central parts, you will see some live downpours as we go through the next couple of days and

notice for sunday, around the foothills of the himalayas, we are likely to see some bursts of heavy rain even pakistan, seeing heavy showers this weekend, cats are airway official, airline of the journey. frank assessments, it sounds that you don't expect anything to change their problem. lebanon is actually structural lebanon needs and uses a contract in order for it to solve this problem. in food opinions is not really on the goals. my security can use, the government has knowledge to mr. in depth analysis of the days global headlines . this is going to be very hard to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, no, it's actually a 2 mentors inside story on al jazeera. ah ah,

hello yes, this is l 0. let's remind you of the main use the south. the former prime minister of japan. sions. obey has died after he was shot during a campaign events of the city of nata. he was 67 japanese and woke. leaders have been paying tribute to the countries longest serving prime minister and 2 of footballs. most seni, a former officials set flatter, and michelle clotty. they have been acquitted of corruption. both were found not guilty by a course in switzerland case was centered on a payment of $2000000.00 from seaford to plotting with platters approval in 2011. both men of long denied any voluntary brookings government has said that it will continue to deliver pre agreed policies. despite the resignation of boris johnston as prime minister johnston had tends to stay all as u. k. prime minister, despite resigning as leader of the governing conservative party,

but calls going for his immediate departure. the stage is now set for a leadership race that could take weeks. let's go live now to westminster central london. i'll 0 pull brunner as there. so paul, for us johnson wants to stay on the inner care, pay a can't take a capacity, but is he going to be allowed to do that? well, it's looking increasing like that. i mean, you'd speak about calls growing 70 the were intense calls last night for bars, johnson not to be allowed to see out the remainder of his premier ship at downing street. the recall for kat take a prime minister to be put into place, not least because of the reason why boys johnson has been asked that he hasn't been asked to because he lost an election because of some policy difference with his cabinet. he's been ousted because of really serious questions about his integrity and truthfulness. it's a very different thing about his character at not about his politics. that said, though, i think the conservative party i'm detecting is going through a kind of kubler ross scale of grief or anger, denial, bargaining, and now frankly,

acceptance and the noises that we're hearing from the conservative party this morning are that the rather reluctantly in some quarters except in the forest, johnson cannot be ousted unless he wants to go voluntarily. some quotes i can say in a, in an ideal world, said the treasurer of the 1922 committee, the back bench committee. dominic rob would have stepped up, but to him that ship has sailed, and that is the sentiments this shared by many people. the question is, where does that leave legislation? well, for us, johnson has promised that he won't introduce fresh legislation. he won't introduce new dynamic policies while he's in this kind of limbo state while we're waiting for a new leader. but there is still existing uncontroversial legislation which is passing through parliament. for example, the northern island protocol bill, which it would give the government the power to unilaterally rip up the trade deal with the european union agreed for bricks it as regards trade with northern ireland, now i'm a potential future prime minister might not want to pursue that but some candidates

who could eventually, when the prime minister ship might for the moment that that is going through. i spoke with joe rutter of the institute for government just about an hour ago. and she said frankly, because the stage is that it will have to go through the length of time it takes to get legislation through. it's not really a threat, a future prime minister, whoever takes over on boris johnson could very easily simply pull the bill at some future date. so it will continue to trend lawn, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna make it on to the statue pers fault the conservative party. then looking for a new leader who's being tipped as the prime ministers likely replacement. i only 2 candidates have so far put their name into the hat sewell, a brave m, and the attorney general and tom toucan. that is the chairman of the foreign affairs committee, i think will really waiting for is some of the big well known faces. the former chancellor wishes soon act. he might fancier pop at the top job. suddenly sergeant

job id, i would expect that to put his name forward. he is the former health secretary, and soon i can javin both quits on tuesday, essentially precipitating this, this crisis. they were the that the 1st 2 out of the block, so they can claim the moral high ground if you like, as people from the perspective of people who want the next prime minister to be a real departure from boris johnson. some of those who are, who chose to stay in cabinets, while others resigned. they may have difficulty in convincing their mp colleagues, that they are enough of a difference from boris johnson for the next stage of a new government. so yeah, there's some really serious calculations going on, but we don't know the full field yet and it's going to be a while before we do out there is port brennan, reporting live there from westminster in central london. bonnie thanks. paul rushes . foreign minister has come face to face with some of moscow's fiercest critics at a g 20 gathering in indonesia. it's so gay, love ropes, 1st personal encounter with foreign ministers from western countries. since russia
