trees longer and elsewhere. i'm melissa chan and welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us a new era begins for japan today as emperor akihito pushes the chrysanthemum throne in the first abdication by a japanese emperor in more than two hundred years the day has been steeped in ritual starting with akihito recording his abdication to his imperial ancestors at a shinto shrine in his final speech at the imperial palace the eighty five year old thing the people of japan and said he would pray for peace and happiness sun crown prince now and he will take over the throne from his father. at the ceremony prime minister shinzo paid his respects.

for me party for a few of the deal to cation we reflect upon the longer years over which the emperor our house thoughtfully shared the hopkinton and sadness of the people of japan. you once again the feeling of deep respect and sighing. people from across the country gathered outside the emperor's palace in tokyo for the event it was an emotional day. for him and i feel grateful. i wish him good health but i feel emotional i have a wound on. him or i'd like to say one thing to him thank you so much it did at the pharmacy as this era is coming to an end it makes me feel

a little sad that the search to be here in this moment is an important experience i think i never see a sign of that we saw the emperor and empress were very keen on visiting the affected areas after the devastating earthquake in northeastern japan. the media should we felt they were looking after us. and we felt that compassion. or something for you to make the current empress symbolize peace. and so i am a little sad that he's after katie like you most of us did you ever think i believe the next ten prebble carry on his legacy of this story i strongly believe that. in his thirty years on the throne akki he did much to transform the image of japan's imperial family and to improve relations with the country's neighbors let's have a look back at. emperor akihito grieving his people for the first

time after ascending the chrysanthemum through. his reign would see him modernize japan's tradition bound monarchy and extend a hand of peace to those harmed by his country's imperial ambitions it was in his father's name that your pen committed many of the atrocities that shook the pacific during world war two. and akihito spent most of his early life in diplomatic trips where he expressed his deep remorse over his country's wartime transgressions. in modern times his frequent calls for peace have been seen by many as a quiet message to forces within his own government the ones who would like to see japan take on a more assertive role on the world stage. driven by concerns over his own failing health he too has education will make him the first japanese emperor to leave the throne without leaving his country into war. a legacy he reflected on during his last official appearance at japanese emperor as his country marked the anniversary

of its wartime capitulation. the north coast thinking of the peaceful times that have extended for many years after the war reflecting on our past and with a deep feeling of remorse i earnestly hope that the ravages of war will never be repeated i also pray for world peace and our nation's further development you must . were to move through. joining us now is journalist sonia glasgow who has been following the events in tokyo sonia give us a sense of how popular emperor akihito has been. and for aki to has been very popular he is of course the symbol of the japanese states but he's really more than that he has taken on a role as the kind of chief consoler of the nation and he's been there together

with his wife whenever something happened in the country there be a lot of natural disasters and he and his wife there visit to the victims of these disasters and they've made a big impression on the people by kneeling down being on the same level as the regular japanese people which is something that they've never known from previous and for us and for him it's always been really important to establish that connection with the japanese people and considering how many people came to the imperial palace expressing his thanks. i think that that says a lot of people even crying you know saying hell thankful they were give us a sense of what it's like to be in japan right now how have ordinary citizens been able to participate on this historic day do they even get the day off well japan is enjoying a very long holiday ten days which is a very unusual they are in golden week right now which is usually just a few days off but this time it's ten days until he was super quiet it's really

a little bit eerie you can see many people on the trains which is very unusual you can see you could see today people are gathering near the imperial palace trying to catch a glimpse of what's happening but i think the big event for the public will be on saturday when the end pro will show himself the new him for will show himself to the public for the first time could you let us know what the people think of his son now to he. they think of him as also of a very trustworthy person a person who will follow in the footsteps of his father as a very peace loving person but they also are very curious to see what hugh who how he will use his experience having lived abroad and having studied abroad so some people express that they hope that he will strengthen the ties with other countries so thank you.

it's been a little over a week since the deadly suicide bombings in sri lanka and the investigations into the suspects continues but there are a few things we already know including one interesting fact many of the suicide bombers were fairly educated and came from well off families you can see the house of one of the suspects behind me but it's not the first time people with this kind of background have been drawn to extremism and turn to terrorism consider osama bin laden and his millionaire upbringing you might also remember what happened in dhaka bangladesh in two thousand and sixteen when militants in their late teens and early twenty's stormed a bakery they took dozens of hostages many of them to arrests after a standoff with armed forces they ended up killing twenty four people it turned out the attackers had attended prestigious private schools and universities at home and

abroad some also came from very rich families so what's going on here why do some people of privilege turn against systems they've benefited from earlier i had a conversation about this with professor at your marty one of southeast asia's most prominent islamic scholars. professor that's your marty outs thank you for joining us we've seen last week with the sri lanka attacks and also the twenty sixteen doc attacks that it turns out a lot of these perpetrators come from wealthy families and are fairly educated what's going on here at the very people who benefit from the system seem to turn against it i think this is a new new pronominal not only in bangladesh or in say long as you said but also if any middle is. there was a family you know husband and wife and two daughters wealthy well educated and then blew up to them self in the in the in the churches in the second

largest city in indonesia i think this is because of. ins in some way. security apparatus police space he'll be that man. to deal with terrorism has been quite successful to this to come but you know. terrorists but no we have a new pronominal with the rise of lone wolf like what you have and also in. you know so i think in bangladesh now these are students a lot of them at universities and schools maybe that's one way to combat it is to get to them before they've taken their idiology and turned to terrorism is that one strategy you've talked about yeah i think we did of course to you know to to supervise student activities on campus particularly in countries like you know

indonesia or bangladesh or some other places because in countries like that. this you know radical groups actually use political. political liberalism you know. for their own purposes by you know conducting. some ideology diligence love ecological ideology and is there anything that mosques can do although with both the universities and mosque you run into problems because there's the freedom of religion freedom of expression that you can't bump up against i mean there's a ten this is also the case in the moccasin like indonesia or in some other majority muslim country because the government cannot control most so i think in this case the government's corporate. with most or all.

most muslim leaders in order to you know. in order for muslim britches not to use the sort of money to preach hate to break through pritchard radicalism and that autism so that ideology like what we have in many countries but in countries like were in full control of most i think there would be no problem professor that's in markey thank you very much thank you and. that's it for now be sure to check out our other stories on dot com for slash asia or on facebook and twitter we need the with pictures from japan as the country bids farewell to emperor akihito thanks for watching see you next time.
