a private funeral is due to get underway for japan's former prime minister sions obey. earlier, his body was taken to a temple in tokyo, where people laid flowers. ah, but he was assassinated while campaigning at an election rally on friday. her lease of knowledge of acknowledge, sorry, security lapses at the event. now michael payne is the owner of the she gets who news agency he joins is on skype, from a toko. michael, just take us through. this is a very shocking event for the whole of japan, not just because of what happened and who sions are or bye was because of the nature of the way he was killed. this was a gun crime. something that just doesn't happen in japan. yeah, that's right. i mean, in all of last year there was one person killed by a gun in japan and you know, the person who gets killed this year by a gun in japan is a former prime minister. so it is quite shocking. yes. you know, obviously japan right now is kind of going through not only the shock of,

of losing a former prime minister of all the stature, but the way in which had happened is something which obviously over the weekend, people were sir, just coming to grips with, with what had happened? you know, we're now several days out, you know, so i think that the shock is starting to kind of sort of subside a little bit and we're getting more towards the morning and today, since it is a funeral day, is sort of the day day of morning the day of remembrance for him, the private ceremony, it was an official reason. so that was just something the family wanted. what we don't have a real explanation for why they chose a private ceremony, but in a way, i think it's quite understandable that you know, there is kind of an inner circle of people who are actually personally close to the man. so even though he was a public figure, a great renown, there were also people who are with him through his life and, and where the people,

you know, he depended upon emotionally. so i think that so they have that private ceremony, but there will also be a public side of it. my understanding is that there will be a funeral procession that runs through many of the political districts of japan, including the, the legislature and the, the ruling parties. headquarters, so there's both a public and private parts of the ceremony. michael, what we're also saying is a revaluation, as often happens in these events of actions are always legacy what he meant for the japanese people. but we're also seeing questions being asked about security of politicians when they're out on the road. we'll see up sort of all of that. well, of course, you know, the security services in japan really must reevaluate their approach when you consider, you know, how this, you know, how this event took place. i mean, it was remarkably easy, although not really so remarkable in japan,

but it was quite easy for the killer to just walk straight up to of the former prime minister and shoot him. and the obviously now senior politicians of his stature the, they need to reevaluate if it can continue like that. and there's also gonna be a number investigations today the, the government announced that they're going to look into making new regulations about sort of homemade guns. but, you know, on the other hand, you know, you have to be kind of skeptical about that. i mean, you can't really outlaw hardware stores, and that's really this is the guy built it himself. there's really not much that could have been done about the weapon. i think but in terms of the protection around the former prime minister, there was definitely some kind of problem there. michael 10 and ok. thank you very much. thank you. and you and security council is expected to vote on tuesday on a draft resolution to extend a deliveries to

lots of negotiations continued all weekend long to try and resolve this because the deadline has now passed. there is no way currently it is legal for the u. n. to bring in aid across that border crossing. now you remember that on friday there was a show down. there was, were most the security council supporting the idea of a 12 month extension to that border crossing russia saying no, 6 months only? well, what are they agreed on to try and come up with a compromise? and i believe they'll be a vote lightly. early on tuesday here the you and well, this is the russian resolution that last week most of the security council said was totally unacceptable. 6 months only not good enough. well, i can tell you the new version that has been put forward. i've seen it is almost identical to this. there's just a few words changed. they now say that the secretary general, before that 6 month period is up on at the beginning of january, will produce

a special report on the humanitarian situation before the 10th of december. but in essence, the security council, despite them saying that this russian resolution was so awful, are now having no option, i mean, backed into a corner by the russians to actually support a resolution that is almost the same as that russian draft resolution that they all objected to with the exception of, of russia and china, they were the only 2 that supported it on friday. so humiliating climbed down, i think a demonstration of the state of stalemate around the security council table. and it's not good news. according to humanitarian community. the speak of so long as parlance has a new president will be chosen next week. after negotiations to form a new unity governed, it follows unprecedented protests which so tens of thousands of people, storm the residences of the president and prime minister. both of agreed to resign after being blamed for the country's worst economic crisis in decades. when al

the war and ukraine. you haven't. wasik has kept watch as they stand in an anonymous freezer van in an anonymous carpark. in this unit alone, 12 bodies still not identified still not claimed by their loved ones. with us after pupils her we would like to buy these people. it is a long time. they have been lying here more than 3 months. it is a common key and that sucked. they cannot identify their body simply by looking of them. many people left for other countries. so these victims are lying here on claim. in other units near by 30 soldiers and another 140 other civilians, some recovered from deep in a nearby forest. the russians built their positions in this wood facing towards cave when they were forced to withdraw. that's when investigators moved in and the phone one mass grave and they think around here,

the settle pattern across north america at the moment is a little bit unusual and not maybe what you'd want all the heavy showers have been across the north. recently. there certainly was a wet weather in florida, and the walls, if you could call heat with her, again, is in the sudden sites to clean texas. and it came up back to arizona where it's still hot but not reco breaking lee. so, but along with the heat, of course, and particularly in the west in california, has been a great lack of rain. now, late me, this big thing in front of the hoover dam is its lowest level since the hoover dam was opened in 1937. is a significant drug because it's feeds across water. so good part is not all of california and no change that weather forecast. i'm afraid, as you can see, all the act is where you might expect it to be. with shares running through the great lakes, the northeast of the u. s. and eastern canada and everything dry to the west of that, apart from the will, no doubt, welcome showers in the desert southwest,

which is part of the standard monsoon system. the seasonal rains are still there in maybe the crack in more likely cost re current. panama still shows in cuba as big as they were south of that. we pick up some pretty big thunderstorms once again the south east of brazil, but otherwise it's very dry. ah, oh i oh, where ever you go in the world? one airline goes to make it feel exceptional. katara always going places to go. ah

ah. the watch out there, a reminder, all top stories. this our live features here from tokyo, where a private funeral is being held for japan's former prime minister sions. obey. earlier his body was taken to a temple where people light flowers and the un security house legs expected to vote on a draft resolution to extend vitally deliveries to rebels held area of northwestern syria on choose site. the mandate for the aid operation expired on sunday. after rush of vito one extension and so long because parliament speak us as a new president will be chosen next week. it follows unprecedented protests were tens of thousands of people stole the residences of the president and promised. now

though, so all of cuba due to a regional dispute is threatening to overshadow a summit of pacific island nations is getting underway in fiji. hereabouts alleges micronesia nations have been sidelined in the leadership of the forum. the summit comes at a time when australia, new zealand and the u. s. are trying to push back against china's growing diplomatic and security presence in the region. beijing signed the security part with the solomon islands in april. in the paulette roles i've had in the discussions i've had in my previous visits and in the dialogue to die. leaders talked about the challenges, the rage and faces climate change caused it and the recovery from clothing, both of which have fallen harder on this rate and then on many other parts of the world. and of course strategic competition and all the nations of this region are seeking to navigate. although nations are seeking to navigate those challenges

and we do it based when we can do it together. let's see, purchase trellis taken. let's he approach the pacific on form is taking and that is why pacific for munity is so important. those crows that away in hay, who joins us from fiji capital, super crew boss, is pulled out of the form. why yes, will this a meeting all the pacific islands form as seen as the paps? the most important one and a very long time. partly because it's the 1st time that the leaders have been able to come together face to face to meet in 3 years. because of the curve at 19 pandemic. and also it's crucial because of all those g geopolitical tensions that are ongoing at the moment. and then we have kid abbas and their decision to withdraw seemingly at the last minute. but this is a problem that's been going on for a long time. in fact, we go back to the beginning of last year when the 5 micronesia countries that are members of the pacific islands form including kit abbas signal that they were going

to leave at this pacific islands. grouping for a couple of reasons. but mainly because they were unhappy with that election process that took place to find a new secretary general of the pacific islands forum. they felt that there was an, an agreement in place that would allow for the new leader to come from one of those micronesia countries. instead, after a hotly contested vote, i had went to henry puna of the cook island so that clearly that is an issue that has been bubbling away for the last, almost 2 years really. and then at last month, it seemed that we had all those issues were resolved in a meeting here in suva, our, those micronesia countries decided that they would remain in the pacific islands forum, including kit, abbas. and now we seem to have had a, a main major change of mind from the government in kit abbas deciding not to come to this meeting all the pacific islands forum. and in fact,

walking away completely. i have to say no one is overly surprised. here by this decision because it's been bubbling away as a say for some time, but they are all very concerned about the decision from kit of us. well, i, you say when there's an awful lot to be discussed as an awful lot of decisions that needs be made. but now this karuba situations, the only thing anybody's talking go yes, has certainly been that way to day on tuesday, local time, as you heard there from the australian foreign minister. she and all the other leaders and government representatives are all talking, at least publicly a lot about that. we also heard a short time ago from the new zealand prime minister to cindy rod turn, as she spoke of her concern about the decision are from kit abbas and what it means going forward. but she did hope that they would change their minds and rejoin the pacific islands form. it seems that that is unlikely. and as you say, this really does have the potential to overshadow. what should be a very important meeting all the pacific island at leaders?

the other issue, of course, is the geopolitical tensions that are going on because of the chinese foreign minister wang eas. visit to this region in may. he to it around at signing many agreed agreements with some of the smaller pacific island nations including security agreements. but the biggest deal that he tried to get through with 10 ah, pacific island nations he couldn't get done. it was a wide ranging agreement that covered all sorts of aspects from security to telecommunications to fisheries, or but they couldn't reach consensus among those specific islands that were represented at that meeting. said that deal couldn't be done, but there is a lot of discussion about china's increasing influence. and what that trip by the chinese foreign minister did, if nothing else was shine a light on the existing relations between those smaller pacific island nations. and the regional lead is if you like in australia and new zealand when, hey, there live for us, one, the fijian capitals who thank you very much. now the u. k. governing conservative

party is unveiled at the time table for the replacement of outgoing prime minister boris johnson. a new leader will be announced on september the 5th that will be after several rounds of voting by m p starting on wednesday. so far, 11 candidates are in the running or a challenge now recalls the u. k. sweltering through a mid summer heat wave, but the country's political temperature has been at boiling point for days now. and i want you to know how sad i am following the prime minister's resignation announcement last thursday. conservative m p's of the 1922 committee gathered to set the rules and time table for how to replace boris johnson. nominations will open and close tomorrow will have a 1st wednesday and a 2nd, but it is like on thursday, what we try to do is find a balance where making sure that all of interest to completed reasonably rapidly

before the summer recess. but we do believe we can have that proper discussion within the policy. someone has to grip the conservative m. p. 's aiming to whittle down a wide field of candidates to just to buy next thursday. then over the rest of july and august, the parties to 100000 members will choose the next leader, prime minister. it's a tight schedule, but they want all this done by early september. well, it's a wide open race, and ultimately the conservative policy can be worried about the blue and blue attacks. i think that doesn't look good to the wider electron, so they're gonna want to try and shorten that as much as they can. i think it looks like she's seen the front runner and he's the man to catch. there is one person in all of this who's been conspicuous by his absence, forrest johnson. of course, he's been pretty quiet since his resignation, speech last week while he was out in front of the cameras again on monday. when he stands on the right to replace him. i don't want to say any more by

that there's a, there's a contest underway and this happened and you know, i would wish i wouldn't want to damage anybody's chances by offering my support. i just have to get i have to get on. meanwhile, the opposition is picked up on the general promises of tax cuts. conservative leadership hopefuls are falling over themselves to make and found them affable. almost it cannot. well, up the way the contenders make more than 200000000000 pounds left the funding spending commitment to see if that's more than the annual. but the any chance splurged on the page of the sunday papers without a word on how it will be paid. fantasy will soon meet reality
