tim men all shook you, so we cannot accept that this violent act took place during an election. the foundation of democracy in the strongest terms i condemn this attack and to the 67 year old was a dynamo of japanese politics and a 3rd generation politician. his grandfather was prime minister, his father, foreign minister with abbey distinguished himself as the longest serving prime minister with 2 terms in office. he broad stability to a political system that tended to kind of churn out. prime ministers are one after another. i'm not only dad, but he was also transformative and japanese politics. he made japan much more significant player in terms of regional and i was a even global security abbe promoted policies dubbed are they nomics intended to

boost the economy. he wanted to strengthen japan's geo political clout by amending its post world war 2 pacifist constitution. it proved polarizing among the public and his efforts failed. during his last year in office, he was criticized for his handling of the coven 19 pandemic. cuz as i say, i've worked hard every single day to revitalize the economy and conduct diplomacy that would protect the national interest during this time. i am proud of taken on various challenges with the japanese people. okay. or though i be resigned in 2020 siding, poor health. the following year he returned to japanese politics and continued to wield influence within the liberal democratic party. a man who couldn't shed his political skin assassinated for it. natasha name l g 0. rob mcbride has covered japan extensively and he has more the reaction by japan's prime minister. few meshida for me. ok. she that really finds himself an

extraordinary situation. finding himself confronted, i think, by a nationwide grief trauma shock and offering up i think a mix of salis comfort, but also with a sense of defiance. when he 1st arrived back in tokyo as soon as he realized how great the situation was, he returned to tokyo. he like others, had been campaigning for these upper house elections. when he 1st spoke to reporters, he appeared visibly shocked, tearful at describing. this is a barbaric and malicious act. later on when it was confirmed that she had indeed died, he offered a more defiant tone, saying that these elections must go ahead, must be seen to go ahead. the campaigning will resume tomorrow, saturday and japanese people will go to the polls on sunday saying that, you know, you cannot give way to what he calls political violence. that is the election

process. the campaigning has to continue and paying tribute, titian's ab, a personally as a statesman as a political leader, as a friend to him personally, but also as a mentor. he was the longest serving prime minister, probably the best known figure in politics, both domestically in japan and also worldwide. and the figure who now is no longer with us. let's go straight to the white house. our us president joe biden is speaking to the media and abortion access. he's also offering content and says on the death of the japanese over prime minister sions are less listening. today. in the 2nd quarter of this year, we created more jobs in any quarter under any my predecessors were nearly 40 years before the think about that at a time when our critic said the economy was too weak or having already added more jobs in my we had already had more jobs my 1st year as president of any president

history. we still at a more jobs in the past 3 months than any administration nearly 40 years. now look, i know times are tough. prices are too high. families are facing the cost of living crunch, but today's economic news confirms the fact that my economic plan is moving this country in a better direction. the unemployment rate is near historic low of 3.6 percent. private sector jobs are to record high gas prices still way too high, have fallen out $25.00 days in a row. and this week we saw the 2nd largest single day, decreasing gas prices in a decade. we still have a lot of work to do. i'm not sure just there's a lot more work to do, but i am suggesting we're making significant progress. the program is working. now with the vice president secretary share and deputy attorney general monaco. i want to talk about an executive order i'm signing and protect reproductive rights of women. in the aftermath of the supreme court, terrible extreme,

and i think so totally wrong had a decision. overturn roe v wade in both formalized actions. i announced right after this decision, as well as adding new measures today. let's be clear about something from the very start. this was not a decision driven by the constitution. i'm say it again, this was not a decision driven by the constitution. and despite what those justice is, the majority said, this was not a decision driven by history. you've all probably had a chance to read a decision and then sent the majority rattles off laws from the 1900 century to support due to row was historic and was historic anomaly because states outlaw abortion in the 18 eighty's toward the end. but that's just wrong. the truth is today, supreme court majority that is playing fast and loose with the facts. even 150 years ago. a common law and many state laws did not criminalize abortion early in

pregnancy, which is very similar to the viability line drawn by rome. but the dobbs majority ignores that fact. and adopt majority ignores that many laws are inactive to protect women at the time when they were dying from unsafe abortions. this is her rick reality that ro sought to and the practice of medicine should not, ever slice should not be frozen, 19th century. so what happened in descending opinion says as clear as you can possibly say, to quote neither law nor facts, nor attitude to provide any new reason to reach a different result than ro, in case you did. and that has changed, excuse me, that all that's changed is this court end of quote. all this changes, this court wasn't about the constitution and the law was about a deep,

long seating antipathy toward ro and the broader right to privacy as to justice wrote in their descent. and i quote, the majority is over rule row and casey for one and only one reason because there's always despised them. and now it has the votes to discard them and of course. so what we're witnessing wasn't a constitutional judgment, was an exercise in ra, political power. on the day the dobs decision came down. i mean you around what i would do. and i also made it clear, based on the reason in the court, there is no constitutional right to choose only the way the only way to fulfill and restore that right from women in this country is by voting. by exercising the power at the ballot box. let me explain, we need to additional pro choice senators and a pro choice house to kind of fi row as federal law. your vote can make that a reality. i know it's frustrating and made

a lot of people very angry. it's the truth is this. and it's not just me saying that it's what the court said. when you read the decision, the court has made clear it will not protect the rights of women period period. after having made a decision based on a reading of a document that was frozen in time, in the 800 sixty's. when women didn't even have the right to vote. the court now now protect practically dares the women of america to go to the ballot box and restore the very rice they've just taken away. one, the most extraordinary parts of decision to my view as a majority, right? and i quote women, i'm sure, quote not from the good majority. women are not without electro or political power . it is noteworthy if the percentage of women who registered to vote in cash to validate consistently higher than the percentage of the men who do show and of quote repeat the law. women are not without electoral and or political or,

or maybe precise or not. and or, or political power. that's another, a shame the you, the women american to determine the outcome of this issue. i don't think the chords are for that matter of republicans who, for decades and push the extreme agenda. have a clue about the power of american women, but they're about to find out in my view is my hope is strong belief that women will, in fact, turn out in record numbers to reclaim the rights of taken from them by the court. let me be clear, while i wish it had not come to this. this is the fastest route available. i'm just stating a basic fundamental notion, the fastest way to restore wall row is to pass a national law caught a fine row, which i will sign immediately upon its passage. i'm at my desk and we can't wait stream, republican governors, republican state legislators,

and republican extremists in the congress over off. all of them have not only for to take away the right are right, but they're now determined to go as far as they can. now the most extreme republican governors have taken the course decision as a green light to impose some of the harshest and most restrictive laws seen in this country. in a long time. these are the laws not only put women's lives at risk, these laws are more cost lives. what we're witnessing is a giant step backwards and much of our country. already to bands are effective. 13 states, 12 additional states are likely to ban choice in the next coming way in the coming weeks. and the number of the state laws are so extreme. they've raised the threat of criminal penalties for doctors and health care providers for so extreme and many don't allow for exceptions him for rape or interest. me say that again. some of the

states don't allow for exceptions for re princess. this isn't some imagined har. it's already happening just last week was reported that a 10 year old girl was a rape victim of 10 years old. and she was forced to have to travel out of the state to indiana, to seek determinate the presidency and maybe save her life. that's last part is my judgement. 10 years old, 10 years old rate, 6 weeks pregnant, already traumatized was forced to travel to another space. mentioned being a little girl. just, i'm sure it's just imagine being a little girl, 10 years old. does anyone believe that is so high as majority view that that should not be able to be dealt with or any other state in the nation? a 10 year old girl should be forced to give birth to

a rapist child. i can tell you what i don't i can't think of anything as much more extreme course. this is already received by republicans in congress as a green light to go further and pass a national bank. a national man normally say they're saying there's no right to privacy, so therefore it's not protected by the constitution. so left up to the states and the congress where they want to do. and now my republican friends are talking about getting the congress to pass a national ban in a stream position give or take, you know, some of the states that will mean right to choose will be illegal nationwide. if in fact they succeed, let me tell you something. as long as i'm present, it won't happen because i'll be doing. so the choice is clear if you want to change

the circumstance for women and even little girls in this country, please go out and vote. when tens of millions of women's vote this year, they won't be alone. millions and millions of men were taking up the fight alongside them to restore the right to choose. and the broader right to privacy in this nation which they denied exist. in the challenge from the court to the american women and men, this is a nation. the challenge is gotten vote for god sake, there's no election november, vote, vote, vote vote. consider the challenge accepted court. but in the meantime, i'm signing this important executive order. i'm asking the justice department that much like they did in the civil rights are to do something to everything in their

power to protect these women seeking to invoke their rights in states or clinics are still open to protect them from intimidation, to protect the right of women to travel from state to prohibit seeking medical attention and she needs 2 states to provide that care, protect the woman's right, to approve federal drug administration approve medication that's been available for over 20 years. the executive order provide safeguards to access care. a patient comes in emergency room in any state in the union, she expressing be experiencing life threatening miscarriage. but the doctor is going to be so concerned about being criminalized for treating or delay treatment to call the hospital lawyer, which concerned the hospital will be penalized. if a doctor provides a life saving care outragious, i don't care what your position is. it's outrageous. and it is dangerous. that's

why this executive order directs the department of health and human services h h s. to ensure all patients including pregnant women and girls, experience pregnancy, experiencing pregnancy laws get emergency care they need under federal law in doctors have clear guidance on their own responsibilities and protections. no matter what to state, no matter what state they're in. the executive order protects access to contraception and i'm about to sign just as thomas himself said that under the reasoning of this decision, this with justice thomas 7 has concurrent opinion that the court should reconsider the constitutional right to contraception, to use contraception, even among married couples with century it is to be a case coke,

connecticut versus brick wall, which is decoded, unconstitutional late sixty's. it said a married couple in the privacy. their bedroom could not decide to use contraception. right now, in all 50 jason's district come in, the affordable care act guarantees insurance coverage for women's health services, including including pre birth control, the executive order directs h h as to delphi ways to expand access to reproductive health services. like r u d 's, birth control pills, emergency contraception can equally important this executive order protects patient privacy and access to information which looking at the press, assembled before me, probably know more about it than i do. i'm not a tech guy. i've learned right now when you use a search engine or the app on your phone, companies collect your data,

they sell it to other companies and even share it with law enforcement. there's an increasing concern that extremist governors and others will try to get that data off of your phone, which is out there, leaf it define what you're seeking, where you're going, and what you're doing with regard to health care. talk about no privacy, no privacy in the constitution, there's no privacy period. this executive order as the mtc to crack down on data. brokers that sell private information to extreme groups or my view sell private information to anybody. it provides private health information. it protects private health, information and states with extreme loss. the executive order strength is coordination of the federal level. it establishes a task force, led by the white house department and the department of human services focus

specifically on using every federal tool available to protect access to reproductive health care. you know me closes this. the court is allies are committed to moving america backwards with fewer rights, less autonomy, and politicians invading their most personal decisions. remember, the reason that a decision has an impact much beyond ro in the right to privacy, generally merge quality contraception. so much more at risk. this decision affects everyone unrelated to choice beyond choice. we cannot allow and out of control supreme court work in conjunction with extremity elements of the republican party to take away freedoms and our personal autonomy choice. we faces a nation between the mainstream in the extreme, between moving forward and moving backwards between now and politicians entered the

most personal parts of our lives. protecting the right of privacy. yes. yes. imbedded in our constitution. this is a choice. this is a moment. the moment a momentary story, the right should have been taken away from us in a moment to protect our nation from the extremity agenda. that is antithetical to everything we believe as americans. now i'm going to sign this executive order. so there we have the u. s. president said, j abiding fight and signing an executive order to help safeguard women's access to contraceptives and abortion. this is after the supreme court overturned that landmark ruling road versus wade, which legalized abortion in 1973 biden. describing the returning as an exercise in

rule political power. let's go straight to give it back to joe biden, with the female was to say, let me i tried to put a call in to who the president prime minister. ah, and i, he whistled it very late there night. i'll be talking there in the morning. i'm going to be stopping assigned to condolence folk as a japanese embassy in the way, the c i o. this hasn't happened to japan in decades and decades. i gum told all way back to the late thirties, mid thirties, and it's a homemade weapon. i've only seen a photograph of it the just far who's going to be going in again, any more detail later as they find out the detail. but arms. the fact is that

one thing did strike my, get my attention that this is the 1st use of a weapon. the murder, someone in in japan. and i think we have thus far have 3000. i won't hold me to the number 688 or i mean between 3 and 4000 cases and 111. and so we're going to learn more about as time goes on about motive above the whole. but to pan full meo, the present. prime minister is a very solid guy. japan is a very, very stable ally, and we are, i do not believe is likely to have, but i don't know yet likely to have been found to stabilize the impact on japanese

security, japanese solidarity. thank you also. oh, there are there, we have a job by then reflecting on 2 key issues that firstly on abortion rights in the united states, a hugely divisive issue. and then wrapping up that says statement by reflecting on the assassination of the, the full, my japanese prime minister sion. so abbe, let's go live to mike hannah, who's be listening in to all of that in washington d. c. firstly, on shin. so abbe mike, obviously the former japanese prime minister was hugely influential around the world. what was that relationship like with united states? well, joe biden had previously said in a statement that he had a close relationship with jan. so ebay, when he was vice president and the obama administration worked very closely with him, had the greatest respect for him. we've just heard from president biden, that he will be signing the condolence book at the japanese embassy here in

washington on his way to a scheduled visit to the cia. so president biden making clear his respect for the now dead ex prime minister. he was joined in the course of the morning by several other living presidents among them. donald trump, george w bush, barack obama, all expressing their condolences and their horror and their outrage at the attack on the former japanese by minister. and mike, or, of course, we heard joe biden speak a motive li to about abortion rights, which of course are, as you know of be huge. the hugely divisive are in the united states signing the all important executive order to help safeguard women's access to contraceptives in a and abortions at once. the pressure has joe biden been under to do something in light of what's happened with the judgment by the supreme court. well, he has come under a lot of pressure from fellow democrats to take some form of tangible action. his administration has been arguing very strongly as president biden just made clear in

what he has just been saying. that the only way in which rovers was weighed can be re instituted is by a congress. so president biden insist it's up to the voter to go out in the mid term elections. and to put in enough representatives in congress who can pass a national legislation to repeal the supreme court's decision on roe vs wade. that is something that is possible at a national level to get a federal law reinstating roe the wade president biden. also making clear though in particular, responding to his detractors that he's done what it is possible for a president to do constitutionally hence these executive orders, which are ways in which he can into being directly. he cannot go against the supreme court judgement with regard to the control of states. what he can do is sign these executive orders instructing the justice department, for example,

to guarantee the safety of women seeking an abortion or seeking emergency health care directing the department of health to make easy access to women in medical centers and to grant emergency care and a federal mandate, even if they are in a state that has forbidden abortions in terms of that, a drooling in the drops case. but also we had very, very hard words from the president about the current supreme court. very unusual for a sitting president to criticize the court. so bluntly saying that it's decision and the wps case was not constitutional. he's describing it as an exercise in pure political power. he also makes clear, he singled out, for example, that this may not be the limit of as the supreme court does. he referred to judge clarence thomas, who made very clear in his concurring judgment in the dobbs case. and that even

contraception between married people could be outlawed, so very strong words from president biden. mike, thank you so much for that. my condo in washington dc. our farm, it says from the group of 20 countries have met on the indonesian island of bali. but the meetings being overshadowed by tensions around russia's invasion of ukraine . jessica washington reports when russian survey ladbroke arrived at the t 20 foreign ministers meeting his host, indonesia is retina mer. sooty, greeted him warmly. members of the media would not as welcoming i this gathering marks the 1st time g. 20 foreign ministers have met since russia invaded ukraine. and the war has dominated the meeting lever of accused his western counterparts of russia phobia and said they are deliberately not looking for common ground on economic issues. no, it was not us to abandon all concepts. was denied that states. oh,

that's all they can say. ukraine invited as a special guest by indonesia has accused russia of deliberately starving the world by disrupting supply chains. it says it's beautiful to talk about food and energy security without calling for accountability. it just the regular mailing of the world with a starvation for the feminine, a witches in hulu, which is cruel and witches, which doesn't meet any principles of humanity and any principles of peaceful coexistence. however, the gathering has also reaffirmed that moscow was not without friends. lovegrove has held several bilateral meetings, most significantly with china's one named indonesia, had hoped to keep the focus of its d. 20 presidency on post pandemic economic recovery. but the war in ukraine has overshadowed that goal.
