disgruntled with our bay and aimed to kill him. it was a rare occurrence in a country with a low crime rate and some of the world's most restrictive gun laws. emma can men or chic usa. 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 abby 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. and not only that, but he was also transformative in japanese politics. he made japan

a much more significant player in terms of regional and i would say, even global security. abbe promoted policies dubbed ib 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 kobe 19 pandemic. because 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 to have taken on various challenges with the japanese people. oh oh, 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.

will japan is often seen as one of the safest countries in the world. part of that is extremely low gone. violence. number of gone deaths per year is rarely more than 10. police are the only people allowed to have handy guns. hunters and target shoot is permitted to own shot guns, an air rifles. but even that involves an all day course and a written test. they're also background and mental fitness checks, as well as drug tests. abbe was allegedly shot by a hand made gun. japan's 1st arrest the possession of the homemade 3. the firearm was in 2014. michael patton is the president of sion gets to news agency joins us from tokyo. these are some of the strictest gotten laws in the world, but could this assassination have been prevented? well, i probably not, i mean, if somebody is, is really determined to, to, to,

to assassinate somebody and in japan and it's a society where there is kind of a presumption that of, of safety it, you know, as you mentioned, you know, gotten deaths in this country are often in the single digits per year, and this wasn't really a, i mean it was a gun, but it wasn't a gun. it's not something that would be bought from a gun manufacturer. it appears to have been constructed as a device by this individual. so you know, how possibly can you prevent that? so i don't think that so, you know, this really represents a whole in japan security system, acceptance in the sense that the, this just isn't the kind of violence that happens here. and so it's not, it's not to expected or prepared for that's not just because of the legislation and that's in place that, that's also a lot to do with apps. the mentality. see the culture society, the way in which people interact with each other, help us to understand the reaction to,

to this sort of violence that is extremely rare in the country now. well 1st thing to understand is that the japanese nation is, is, is quite, has been quite isolated through most of its history. today about 98 percent of the population in japan are our japanese. they speak a language which is separate from any other country in the world. ah. and so they have kind of a, a, you know, they often talk about sort of the island, the feeling of the country. you know, they are the, have a sense of being quite apart from the rest of the world. and the education system ah, emphasizes cooperation among people as the biggest factor. ah, and so essentially, you know, japan, so sort of social order is based very much on education and, and sort of a sense of solidarity among sort of a, a family nation in a sense. so that is so, so it functions a lot differently than, than say,

a lot of western nations which are sort of built on a sets of rules and punishment. i, in japan, it tends to be more, you know, that all seems to come more through the culture than it does so through sort of of formal institutions that how people feeling right now. obviously me sees images of people paying tribute to obey and lang flowers in the place where he was shot and killed. how is this affecting people and how might things change? ah, well, i certainly people, i mean, the general feeling i think would be shock and horror ah, you know how things will change will immediately, for example, to day should be the last day of campaigning before the upper house selections. so normally there be sound trucks running wrong, the streets and politicians just like a ave was yesterday on the street. so, you know, calling to passers by a to ask for their vote. my, my expectation is that today's going to be kind of eerily silent. where it would be

kind of a boisterous day. so that will certainly change. i will there be fundamental institutional change? my guess is probably not simply because, you know, japan sort of status quo is very deeply ingrained. i think there will be calls for, for some sort of enhanced security measures, but go forward 6 months or a year. and we'll probably find that japan kind of goes back on to the same tracks that, that it's always been on. thank you very much, michael pan, president of each and gets a news agency. ah . rusher is vito to resolution of un security council that so to extend a deliveries to syrians in the last rebel control north western region, the u. n. is wanting that closing the car to vie the bumble how a border crossing could be catastrophic each month, more than a 1000 trucks passed from turkey. bringing humanitarian aid to millions of people

are diplomatic edison. james bays has more from the united nations. i think severe, acute as things stand, this may end up being the law shipment of humanitarian aid, food and medicine from turkey into northwest syria. i think you can collaborate. ben nodded. 4.1000000 people rely on this lifeline, but it must be authorized by the un security council. and in the council chamber there's deadlock a resolution to allow the crossing to operate for another 12 months was supported by all members. apart from china, which abstained. and russia, which used its veto. russia then presented its own rival resolution allowing the crossing to operate for 6 months. but it didn't pass. it was only supported by russia and china. this is not a moment to mince words. i have long said that this is a life and death issue,

and tragically, people will die because of this vote. and the country who shamelessly deploy the beetle to day negotiations will continue. the current authorization for the border crossing runs out at the end of sunday, but russia doesn't sound in the mood for compromise. you someone her proposes our draft, so we would not say that this is our, it's lecture property. if someone proposes our draft for the 2nd time, why not? if not, if not, and i think that the, the pages over. so he asked the us ambassador with the russians unwilling to compromise. will she have to back down and accept the russian proposal. now that would be very humiliating for you, but it would be better than nothing, wouldn't it? his resolution was nothing. ah, we got 99 percent of the way there with the russians. we gave them 99 percent. they admitted they got 99 percent and they are holding out for one percent to continue

to give support to the syrian regime. obviously tensions around the council table of increased because of the ongoing war in ukraine. but this is about more than security council theater and drama. it's about millions of syrians, their lives at risk from starvation or lack of medical treatment. james pays al jazeera at the united nations. eli mosque has confirmed he is terminating his $44000000000.00 takeover of twitter, tasteless ceo, cited breeches of the agreement as there is shambria. nancy joins is now from washington. shall what more do we know the sudden, feds? this is our grandmother. the chronicle of a death foretold this has been telegraphed for several weeks now. the muskets, initial enthusiasm for buying twitter has been souring for some time. the sensible reason is he's dissatisfied with the disclosures from twitter, about the number of spam and fake accounts on twitter or twitter says it's giving

them the information bound bolts make about 5 percent of twitter. twitter membership mosque says no, he doesn't quite by, but by the statistics he wants. he wants more transparency. he's not getting it. so he's filed to say, look, he's, he's pulling out the problem is, is that he signed on the dotted line. and what was a pretty crowd agreement to buy twitter. and he was committed to that unless there was some major changes at twitter itself. and it's unclear as to whether law skepticism is whether this rises to that level way he can just can just walk away and has to be said and lifts. scoffing little bit about the idea that this is about bolts tables and ages for twitter share valuation is dropped considerably since musk made us offer that he's actually, he was, his overpaying, was going to over pay quite a bit. the issue that here is a twitch up initially didn't want the mosque to take over, but now having signed the contract and well it looks terrible for twitter. if musk just pulls up, the twit has already said they're going to take me to court. they're going to fight list, they're going to get him to buy this like it or not as

a $1000000000.00 fine for pulling out of the vo which mosque may have, may have to pay which is much to, to, to us. but also there still is a specific agreement that twitter can force musk to, to go through what the deal if it meets certain certain records certain requirements. so that's going to be the long, protracted, long, protracted legal battle that we're expecting now. and in fact, if you have this bizarre situation that must mand up being forced to take over a company that he doesn't want to take over. having said that, this is going to destroy twitter share price. perhaps you could renegotiate the terms, you know. all right, thank you very much for washington chamber, tennessee. you're watching al jazeera life from london still had on the program. you as president signs, executive order safeguarding portion, accessing the labeling country supreme court out of control. someone grit this

a duty and our duty is to govern what's due to happen is all the conservative members of parliament get to vote on the leadership candidates. it could take several rounds before they narrow it down to just 2 names. assuming neither drops out, it's been up to the wider policy membership to pick a new leader. what's different this time is it's not a different type of policy. it's not parliamentary deadlock. as it was over, teresa may with her failure to get her breakfast deal through. in this case, the problem is the prime minister and in particular the premises judgment. his integrity and the fact that he really lost competence of so many people in his government. and that's meant that, that it's like weird that he's continuing the opposition labor party still save johnson isn't gone soon. they'll try to force him out using parliament. he shouldn't be desperately clinging on when he has had to leave office because of his disgraceful conduct. and that's why i say the tory party should remove him,

and if they don't, we will step up in the national interest and bring a photo confidence. it's unlikely though that's enough, conservative m p 's would back stomach in 2 weeks, parliament breaks for the summer, leaving westminster to the tourists and leaving the choice of prime minister to fewer than a 150000 conservative party members. but between now and then, plenty could happen to change boris johnson's time table for leaving downing street . the dean baba al jazeera london, at least 13 people, a dad and dozens more missing after a cow bus cause flash floods in indian administered kashmir. happened in the general district during the annual month long arm enough yacht tra hindu pilgrimage . authority say tense and community kitchens were washed away by the time of water . 8 forty's had been recovered so far. a rescue operation is continuing. we started in bergen, exec many, dental waterway. i don't have the exact number at the moment. our forces began to
