we begin in japan. the nation, stunned by the assassination of former prime minister oceans obeyed. he was shot dead on friday during a campaign speech in the southwestern city of nora. people have been paying tribute, some lang flowers at the sight of his murder ave was japan's longest serving prime minister, killed in one of the worst attacks? not politicians since the 2nd world war. and these alive pitches from outside. mister abe's residence in tokyo were expecting his hers to be brought from nora to the japanese capital. we believe it's already on the way as heavy security, as you can see outside his home, with many members of the press, photographers, et cetera. there at the moment. when you details are emerging about the man that shot and kill japan's former prime minister are 0. is jillian wolf reports? oh, these are the moments before japan's former prime minister sions obey was assassinated . and this is the man that shot him standing among the crowd in the city of norah,

causing many to ask how to to yagami managed to get through security with a home made gun. ah, please say the 41 year old former navy officer admitted his shooting ave, telling him he was disgruntled with a specific organization. he believed. are they to be a part of moments later, an army of police raided the suspects home? recovering more weapons. ave was carrying out a routine campaigned speech for his party's candidates ahead of sunday's parliamentary election. his speech silenced by assassination tributes have poured in from around the world. the un security council held a moment of silence. as u. s. flags were ordered to be flown at half staff. several nations announcing a day or more of morning. i knew him well, we worked together closely for years now spoken to solar. when our service was present. and here people committed to strengthen reliant friendship between the

united states. you have in japan, a nation left stun, where gun laws are restrictive and political violence, almost unthinkable. people paying tribute to their former leader in the place where he took his final breath, run them on nothing. i feel really sorry for a long time. he tried so hard to make this country thrive again. and he really made many efforts towards thought the 67 year old was a dynamo of japanese politics. and a 3rd generation politician. his grandfather was prime minister and his father, foreign minister who would be, are they distinguished himself as the longest serving prime minister serving 2 terms. he brought 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 would say, even global security. one of japan's most consequential post war leaders are bay for to build a prosperous and peaceful nation. he promote a policy is dubbed ab nomics, intended to boost the japanese economy and wanted to raise japans to your political clout by amending its post world war 2 pacifist constitution. but a pro 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. while ave resigned in 2020 due to poor healthy returned to japanese politics the following year, and continued to wield influence within the liberal democratic party until his death, chile wolf, al jazeera. when michael pen is the owner of the she gets a news agency and has more now on the investigation into others. kelly, we do know that the national police agency has launched an investigation of,

of the events to try to see if the local team had made any mistakes in the way that they had conducted themselves in and trying to protect mr. ave. but i think that's more generally speaking, you know, although they may have failed to spot the person who came up with his home a gun. generally speaking, it is not the case that in japan, high security is all around at all times. while there are a lot of police here there, there are a lot more engaged with the community than they are necessarily and expecting to, to be dealing with violent crime. so, you know, japan is kind of a much more relaxed society. i would say in this respect than most other countries, major countries around the world. so it's not exactly such a surprise if somebody could walk up to a politician of are they stature and to,

to kill them, to a huge national and historical event. so, you know, i think that disbelief is something which is probably one of the primary reactions to it. you know, of a has been such a stand by figure, a japanese politics for so many years. you know, some people love him. some people hate him, but you know, he was always there. and you know, this is the 1st day in say the 21st century. when one of the big politicians in japan on the scene wielding influence is not chines, ave wyoming hico to go check with our special advisor and form a speech writer, fishing of a he says are they will be remembered as a compassionate liter. personally he is worn and the friendship once forged lasts eternally. i'm not exaggerating. he remembers people once met,

he wouldn't forget doubts his personal charm. and he has maintained his deep love with his wife, kia louise morning, very much deeply i would imagine today you can tell by looking at where japan is. japan is a neighbor to russia, north korea, china, none of which has ever implemented anything that came to democracy. each one of which is nuclear. and when it comes to china, it's optimal is growing, as we discuss like this today. and so japan must strengthen its national security, but you can't do anything alone vice by, by yourself, which is why she is a law bear met

a huge number of flooring leaders developed close ties with people from obama, from and bide in may. johnson, your name is without him at japan could not have come this far. you can't fill the void, you really can't fill the void for me, it seems almost as if i have lost the entire purpose of my life. as a professional dealer must just confirm that he's terminating his 44000000000 dollar takeover. twitter the tennessee years legal team says the social media giant breach several provisions of the deal. twitter says it was too much to enforce the merger agreement with larry magic as a technology analyst and see or connect safety dot to. he says there are numerous

factors behind the decision. well, i think it's financial mostly. i think that what's happened, of course, is since he made the offer, twitter stock has gone down and tesla stock has gone down, which means twitter is worth less money. but also means that he has less money. i mean, his net worth is based largely on his test with stock. so his net worth has gone down. so those are major factors. i might add that reputation has also taken a hit, although some conservative like the fact that he wants to go in there and reinstate donald trump and get rid of some of the moderation policies. a lot of people are very upset about that and think that they're going to twitter is going to go back to the wild west or anything goes including harassment and bullying and other social harm. so i think that's had an impact on him, but i don't know if that's why if that would, in any way influence him to want to back out of the deal. i have had conversations with employees, of course, but i'm not going to say who they were, but i have yet to find an employee who's excited about you on must be the being

their boss. i mean, many are very concerned. they're worried about what will happen to the policies that they put into place. and i think it has had a negative react reaction company. now, at the highest level, there may be financial reasons why they want this merger to go through this acquisition to go through. but i think at the rank and file low level, it would be hard to find an employee who's excited about the idea. now the ukraine was casting a long shadow on the already complex relationship between the us and china. foreign ministers of the 2 countries are meeting at the g 20 in bali. china never condemned russia's invasion. and just days before it began, beijing and moscow signed a so called no limits partnership. washington and beijing are also at odds of a tie one. china's ambitions in the south, tennessee. i've been a source of tension as well. jessica washington reports from barley while the official proceedings. if the g 20 foreign ministers meeting is really now over the world is still very much looking at what's happening in bali because of this

its concern is that the u. s. is meddling in its internal affairs. it considers taiwan to fundamentally be an internal, assess of aging, to manage. and also consider that the u. s. is meddling in matters that concern the asia pacific and that should be managed by asian countries. we have heard from the chinese foreign ministry. they mentioned that the talks would focus on bilateral relations between the 2 countries, as well as some regional and international issues, including likely the war in ukraine. we also heard from the us state department who noted that the talks may also include matters of regional security. importantly, for this part of the world, se asia, those talk may also extend to the crisis in me and me a lot more sense to come here. now does area including us president joe biden lashes on to the supreme court over abortion, and vows to protect access. someone has written this moment and make the right

d. david. all the protest says would converge on colombo and not budge until they see the exit of president go to bed, roger boxer where i am at. what you can probably see in the background is essentially a huge crowd. this at the moment is mainly university student. they have basically gathered in front of the barricade, one of the roads leading up to the president's house. now are essentially the government was a put on notice by literally the entire country civil society students that they were coming to see him, bull. and this is what, this is all about. the government, as you can see, or just unfolding as we speak, there's an ambulance that literally came, the protest says, you know, trying to make it down that road, leading to the presidents. i was, the protest says suspected that it was just a ploy to try and get in to this heavily fortified area. they surrounded that

ambulance. we've just seen the ambulance retreat. are the student said that they had valid suspicions that this was just applied to try and get into this a heavily fortified area. now the government employing all kinds of taxes to undermine this protest, not just by universal students, but by the entire country who had held up the 9th of july as the last and the final straw. we had a curfew being employed from 9 pm last night, very suddenly by the police chief of basically they said that this would be in place until further notice. 7 but they were forced, under a huge local and international pressure, reminding the government of its commitment that they should respect the rights of protested to express their views. and we saw that coffee being now if i can just show you, if you just walk with me here are all of these protests says,

have been here literally from last night. now the key thing is that the president's house, if you look in the far direction are down here, all of those roads basically, ah, at the back of the people milling about on lead to the official residence residence and dar, this is why this place has become so significant you can even see that the british clergy, but his monks obviously those who are within the university system also coming up. they have also been here over night. and uh, basically, the key thing is we have had enough now even over here you see unmarried kids keep on sort of leading the chant, but in colombo. as i said, all those attempts to try and undermine this. brought is shrieks of colombo would relatively deserted because there were no buses. there was discovery that was only

lifted this morning. but people we saw on our way here on foot in groups. some of them were backpacked, some of them with national flags walking on us. this, this location, the heart of colombo and some of the people we spoke to. i spoke to lawyers. i spoke to university student. i spoke to ordinary citizens and all of them had one clear message. when not going to be stopped. we've had enough and where going to go express our solidarity with those, calling for the exec to present. got up in roger parks and this government, all of them we will have steadfastly, essentially, driven for longer to its knees. right. terminal fernandez, live for stay in the trunk and couple of lumber manella. thank you. now the u. s. president assigned an executive order to help protect women's access to abortion and contraception. joe biden criticized what he called an out of control supreme court. which recently overturn roe versus wade?

the landmark ruling a guaranteed the constitutional right to the abortion across the u. s. my kind of report from washington d. c. the news today, the president blasted the supreme court's recent decision, striking down at the 3 year old ruling guaranteeing women a constitutional right to an abortion. and this was not a decision driven by the constitution. in spite of those justices, the majority said, this was non to decision and driven by history. opinion polls indicate the majority of americans agree with the president on this. i respected pew poll, indicating 62 percent insist that abortion should be legal. in all almost cases. despite this, at least 9 states that banned abortion with more than a dozen states expected to do so in coming weeks flanked vice vice president and the secretary of health president biden insisted that it was up to congress to pass legislation restoring roe v wade. and this in turn would need people to vote for

pro choice candidates in the november elections. the challenge is, go out and vote for god sake. there's no election november vote, vote, vote vote. consider the challenge accepted court. the president then signed an executive order aimed at listening the impact of the court's decision on american women. it instructs the justice department to ensure the safety of abortion patience, and providers, including setting up mobile clinics near the borders of states restricting abortion access. another part of the order directs the health secretary to investigate how to protect the supplies of medication and increase public awareness around reproductive rights. the president has all code directed that access to emergency contraception, and i u. d. 's be expanded by the federal government. that's a direct response to what he characterizes as

a threat. bias supreme court justice is concurring judgement. 2 weeks ago, justice clarence thomas suggested that the court should reconsider the constitutional right to contraception. even among married couples, mike, hannah al jazeera washington, the family of murdered al jazeera journalist, sharina barclay has called on the us president to meet them on his visit to jerusalem next week. they want joe biden to order an f. b. i investigation into death. sharina was shot in the head by his ready forces while she was on assignment and janine and the occupied west bank on may. the 11th al jazeera media continues to demand a rapid, independent, and transparent investigation into kenny. now the 1st candidate seeking to replace bar, as johnson, as british prime minister, have announced their standing. johnson has angered many in his own party by insisting he'll state for now rather than hand over to his deputy. let him bob has the latest

a day off. devoris johnson said he'd stepped down attentions turned to walk and who comes next around the newly cleaned up palace of westminster. the talk is of a clean break of restoring trust in governments. someone has to grip this moment and make the right decision. and friday, the 1st the political, big to be announced, the standing of the previous chancellor receives tonight and i have spent my co pay together soon. next, one of 2 cabinet members who's resignation lead to a torrent of judy administers quitting. and johnson eventually giving in that should be a new leader. but on thursday, johnson insisted he'd stay in post until the new leader was chosen a process that could take many weeks within the party. initial opposition to him staying on in the interim seems to be weakening. i don't think that it would be appropriate for us whether way around the cabinet table or in any other parts of british government. just to kind of down tools and say actually you know what, we're not going to do anything until the new boss is in place. we have

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 get her breakfast deal through. in this case, the problem is the prime minister, and in particular the problem to judgement his integrity and the fact that he really lost confidence 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 them voted though confident. it's unlikely though that enough, conservative m p. 's would fax darma. 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 barbara al jazeera london in the philippines nobel peace prize winner. maria resar has lost her a feel against a cyber libel conviction. it was announced by her news website, rap law, which said the decision weakens the ability of journalists to hold power to account for my c n n correspondent is facing a prison sentence of up to 7 years. the court decision comes just 2 weeks after authorities ordered wrapper to close for former president rodrigo to take his last day in office. reza is
