a strong economic and defense policies. is killing, has shocked japan, a country where firearms are strictly regulated. and political violence is rare. oh, the moment shin, so are they? we shot twice, a suspect man, handled to the ground. what appears to be a weapon. lying on the road nearby, people ran to the age of japan's former prime minister as he lay seriously wounded . he was quickly transferred to a helicopter and flown to a hospital. at this point, his condition was described as critical, but doctors were unable to save him. mister shins obey was taken into emergency care at 20 past 12. he was in

a state of cardiac arrest. he was given intensive care, but unfortunately he passed away to day at 3 minutes past 5. when he arrived, he had gunshot wounds on 2 parts of his body and was in a state of cardiac arrest, probably induced by damage to the hearts unto the otter is the area in the city of nora, where this veteran politician had been giving an election campaign speech is now a crime scene. the assassination has shocked japan. a country where gun violence is rare, images, shaggy, nor misses a dastardly sam barbaric oddity. to knock out it took place in the midst of an election, isn't a bunker godaddy. this is the basis of a democracy to say and is absolutely unforgivable things. i would like to

use again, the harshest words to condemn this act. you know, he does most chin. so our bay was 1st elected prime minister of japan in 2006, making him at 52 the country, his youngest ever premier. oh, it proved short lived. a year later he quit following his string of party scandals . he was also suffering from health problems, but he wasn't gone for long. in 2012, he was back promising to revive japan's flagging economy. following years of deflation. abilene is there. he even put his own name on the plan are be know, makes ave was also hawkish on defense,

expanding japan's military role after years of pacifism, that proved a controversial policy. and he failed to formally rewrite the country's pacifist constitution. he did though, bolster japan security alliance with the united states ave was considered a strong leader on the world stage. but in 2020, he again resigned, citing poor health. so to get us politics though, was always in his blood right up until the end as get more from journalist or sonia blanca in tokyo. oh, welcome back. sonya i'm a suspect is in custody. what do we know of him? yes, sir. in the meantime. uh, we've got new information about him. um,

mostly about actually about the long term planning that was involved. that was involved with the back today. you apparently started in, in spring this year to prepare for today. and he that is a 40 year uh 41 year old man from laura and the police today and went to his apartment, also went to his parents apartment to look for further cruise. they found her the handmaid weapons similar to the one that he used today. they also found explosives and they think that his experience with these things comes from 3 years in the self defense army in japan. the self defense forces. and he has admitted to the crime. so he said very clearly, yes, it was me. who did it. right. and despite this shootings in japan are rare and political a violence are almost unknown. yes. it's something that japan

has never really seen to this extent on. the has been an attack with a summer i thought, decades ago, and another shooting of mayor. i think in the eighty's, but gun use is something that is extremely rare in japan. there are less than $22.00 dozen incidences in japan in a year and it's really something that people couldn't imagine. the rules are very strict. there are lots of background check psychological checks. the neighbors are interviewed if one wanted to get the permission for a gun. and the only other way would be to get a hunting license. but it also is very strict. ok, sir, we have a rare political, a fascination in the country with strict to gun control laws of a man who was a giant in a, in japanese as society of our people reacting people. i am shock. that's really the overwhelming feeling. they say we can't believe this. and

they also praise him very much for the work that he did for japan. others express their anger, they said, how can this be possible? why was this not prevented? but mostly actually, the anger is directed to the assassin himself. why would somebody do something like that? but overall, as i said, it's really a feeling of shock. people are laying down flowers of training and some are trying . so yeah, it's something that is super unusual for japan. thank you so much for our monument for clearly sonya sonya bluster in tokyo down to russia, where the president to protein has war that his country's offensive in ukraine has barely begun. is also accused the west of fueling, the war declaring that western efforts to defeat him would bring tragedy to you, cried the russian president was addressing parliamentary leaders. shouldn't you my

solution? we are hearing that they want to defeat us up william on the battlefield. what can i say is good with let them try mosier more. we have often heard the wes wants us to fight it until the last ukrainian it that there it's a tragedy the ukrainian people, oklahoma, but it looks like it's heading in that direction. no children isn't, but everybody should know that largely speaking sure that we haven't even yet started anything in earnest. but at the same time we don't refuse peace talks. but those who refuse should no longer loss the more difficult it will be for them to make a deal without him sledging year in wood. well, i spoke with a double correspondent, knick spy for an keith, and he told me more about to have than you brushing president's remarks had been received back with some indifference, i would say, from official them we only have an advisor to president zalinski saying that western powers,

which he says are at work in ukraine are not present in the country. only russian soldiers are a talk to a bunch of people on the streets to day one man said, look, we know what putin is doing. this is a message to his people 1st and foremost to so that he is powerful, he is in charge and a message to the west, hands off ukraine. a woman i spoke to said that his sit, what he had to say was diabolical and said he was essentially satan and a young man of draft age said to me, all that back kind of common can do is steal the resolve of ukrainian fighters on the front line, which is why in the fighting itself, a rush or appears to have a east off, it's don't bass offensive, a sense it took lucy chance a why is that? well the, you know, russian high command has said that is marked this undertaking. operational pause and i think the reason why is because they have to reconstitute their, their attack tactical baton battle groups. they were decimated in large part in the attempt to take this city at the start of the war fill. as you recall,

what they've been doing for the, you know, land that they've been able to conquer, is basically unleashing huge artillery garages. and then moving in to a scorched earth city of bubble and which the ukrainians have evacuated for tactical reasons for their not really winning person, you know, hand to hand street by street combat they need to get their troops reorganized into fighting units. ok, thanks for that. mixed with us what we're going to take a look at, what's happening elsewhere in ukraine and then we'll come back to you are russian forces now dominates. are the countries eastern and southern cities back in june, the occupying administration in her son announced that there would be a referendum on joining russia, though no date has been announced when the residence won't be around to vote tens of thousands of believe to have left for ukrainian control territories since the city fell, since it's all but impossible for independent western journalist to report from their d. w. 's nick calmly got in touch with 2 locals,

who told him about life and occupation mediation at the beginning. we all thought the occupation would be over in a week. it was only a few months in that we finally understood that the russians were here to stay. it looks very similar to what it. ready was in 54 as i was a little weird on a red flag a. ready look very familiar with all my friends have left. the other generation is gone. only the pensioners have stayed. yeah. there's so many people in need right now and on. now these people are not able to get the money that they have on their gums. a lot of people are trying to get the russian over 10000 rouble, did this a b q to get there? so i think that they give this a rommel by condition. there are some i only

heard about the plans for a referendum to join russia from the ukrainian press. with that no one's talking about it here. oh, wait, it also why and daily and on. and before it got fully milder, because by, in fact, there are many places where we're actually do the dirty. and of course you don't hear about that many people working left. i see also many authors on the seeds on facebook telling him that this or that person is missing. when the rations came on, we were expecting things would be as bad as in mary. you, paul? mary, look, know we were scared to even look up the window. it was sheer panic, santa barbara here to damage the fact that we can leave the house and buy food more than we seems like a miracle. unluckily or is an order for

just a 2nd. baby girl was i always tried to just ish, if directions are so doing or on the ukrainians are covering russians was they were selling the same with nothing changes. i'll also end up leaving only my parents and my grandma that are keeping me here for now. the only ones who did the graham's delivery, the question is how and when, and we got a is become a marathon rather than a nick, commonly talking to a couple of residents of her. her son, let's go back to an expire and keep it. nick at her son has been under full russian control for on 4 months. but ukraine says its forces are advancing on the city. so what else are you hearing? well, there's what the ukrainian forces are doing. phil,

i think what is also interesting is what the partisans are doing to transform the marathon that that man talk about into a shorter race. they've been blowing up railway lines. they've been brought, blowing up trains carrying ammunition, doing all kinds of things to weaken the russian war effort behind the lines. now on the other side of the lies, what the actual ukrainian army is doing is trying to take territory time to take villages, engaging and shelling without hitting civilian areas and, and continuing the war effort. not just to prevent russia from getting that land bridge, they want to get all the way across to romania, but also just to put pressure on them in the south, in order to divert their resources from lou hats. so they have to fight a 2 front war, which is of course, always difficult. so it's about harrison, but it's about the larger war effort as a whole vill. oh thank you for that next spice in. keith took a quick look at small stores making news around the world. moscow's chief rabbi has quit after 30 years,

reportedly because of russia's invasion of ukraine. think has goldschmidt left the country for israel early this year. russian media say he left because his contract expired contest to replace of britain's prime ministers under way. after bar. as johnston announced his resignation as leader of the conservative party agreed to step down after we're 60 mph quit his government following a string of political scandals. he said he'll remain as prime minister until the party selects a new leader and gold as former president jose edwardo da santos has died of the age of 79. once in independence fighter, he ruled the oil rich central african nation for almost 40 years is tonya was marked by civil war and rampant corruption. santos died in barcelona, where he was being a treated following a prolonged illness. a foreign ministers from the g 20 developed and emerging economist, gathering on the indonesian island of bali, against a backdrop of russia's war in ukraine and,

and international food and energy crisis. in the measures, foreign minister urged an enter the war attentions of the meeting ran high with some of moscow's fears, his critics confronting russian foreign minister. so game of rough arriving in bothering mister lever off was met by shouts from joan reporter. international edison richard walker is following that meeting. welcome, richard. we will. we will talk about, sir. yeah, russia, sir. foreign minister, a walking out of the closed door meeting, the closed or talks after germany's foreign minister criticized his country's invasion of ukraine to we'll hear from german 4 minister elena bear, belk. and then get your take. as he was a said he, you own that the russian administration does not want the united nations been part

of the negotiations on the grain exports. that the russian foreign minister has spent large parts of the meeting, not inside the room and outside the room, underlines the fact that the russian government is currently not willing to talk on the outside gift. ridge walkers, analynn, a very barebones call that right. well, it certainly is the case, the sag love rav effectively boycotted her speech. he also was not present for the address by mutual co labour, the ukrainian foreign minister, who was joining remotely. and he also didn't listen to attorney blinking speech about making a point there that if you're not in the room, if you're not actually listening to what we're saying, and then how can we take you seriously. this is having a serious interest in negotiating a level for his party, saying that there's nothing to talk about with the west because as he put it, the west is trying to support ukraine so much in this war,

which is of course very much the case. so i think in terms of, you know, the potential for negotiations to be held over finding an end to this war. i think it's recognizable round at the moment that potential simply isn't there. i mean, this really is being forced out on the battlefield at the moment, but there's this other level to it, which is trying to find a solution to the huge amount, tens of millions of tons of grain that's been stuck in ukraine that cannot get out of ukrainian ports because because those ports are being blockaded by the russian side. and the russians are saying at the moment that they are willing to hold talks on that. but the suspicion and in fact the accusation from the western side is that that is not serious. and that the russians are really kind of trying to generate this sort of global food crisis as a way of trying to turn global opinion against the west. penning the blame on the west for this shortage of food around every shouting,

nobody listening. but let's hear from indonesia, foreign minister, or written or more sooty, of the start of one of today's sessions. some of the lot of them is also the only way to pardon it effectively against the global challenges. therefore, let's try to do our best. and will the latter allison will only deliver if there is trust among us. sir richard walker that that's rallying cry for multilateralism is that's comes from a particular fear in asia about a return to the cold war yet. that's right. i mean, it's something you don't just hear from indonesia, you have from other countries. you also get the strong sense of that in india. i was just recently a reporting in india where there's a great concern of this idea of the world sort of fracturing into 2 blocks. accelerated by the war in ukraine with effectively the sort of west in its allies on one side and russia and increasingly that the chinese on the other. and you have

countries around asia really don't want to end up being forced to choose who site that they're wrong. and you've seen the indonesians, for instance, trying to navigate this in recent weeks. you had to present with out of indonesia, here in germany for the g 7 summit. after that, he then made trips both to ukraine and to russia to meet the leaderships. they're offering you indonesia services, a kind of interlock you search to try and make some progress in terms of negotiations. but it is very much a concern among asian countries. that for instance, may have defense relationships with russia, but also important economic relationships with united states. the another big factor of this being, of course china in asia, which is a great concern to many of the countries in the region. so really kind of almost like a rallying cry, almost like a plaintive plead, worried that that's the way the world is going to throw in into that,

into that mixer. before that washington is calling for russia to be excluded from gee 20. and as you've been implying that just tells how much this war is, testing the limits of international forums like g twins, i think particularly it is really straining the g 20 in particular. because of course, like some of the international organizations that you have, for example, the g 7 is very much, it is countries of like, my, you know, that's, that's the kind of the big industrialized democracies they threw out russia from the g 8 long ago. the g 20 though he's coming to its own it taken on a great deal credibility as, as a much broader based organize, a broader base set of countries much more representative of the world and includes rushing, who's china as well as the united states. western countries in many countries from the global south. so this is really putting to the test whether a, whether an organization like the g $700.00, g 20. whether

a grouping like that can really hold up on to this amount of strain on this amount of fracturing. of course, the real test is going to be this november when the g 20 summit is due to take place. now b, m, shore increasing calls for western countries to a to boycott that altogether. the question is, what's more important to try to kind of show a strong sign of rejection towards russia would try to be in the room to keep some kind of a conversation internationally. going, all right, thank you for that did of research we've international editor which should work for the parliament here in germany has voted overwhelmingly to approve sweden and finland, accession to nato. the bundle target ratified major decision to accept them. much to the delight of representatives of the 2 countries were watching from the gallery of the decades of neutrality, sweden and finland moved to join the western defense alliance. in response to russia's invasion of crime. the nature of decision has to be approved by all 30

current member states. d. w political correspondent nina has been speaking with the finish ambassador following the german vote. so i am now joined by the ambassador of finland, who attended this vote. this historic vote here in the german parliament, sir, and bassett. a. what is your reaction? this is a truly history called bay. it's not overly acting. ah, we are really great through to germany being one of the 1st nato allies who is getting through the amplification process. so it's great to be here today. nevertheless, it is expected, or it is to be feared that the ratification process as a whole might try gone for a couple of months because of course, every nay to member all of the 30 and members have the right to veto. how worried are you that a country like turkey might use those processed to push through their own interests?

no, we are not the door worried. it's a fact. that's a procedures in different ne to members are different. and of course, we have county already on that, that it may take a while. but if it does take a while, it means that you're still not fully protected, that you're not full fledged members. germany is one of the countries that has issued security guarantees. is that enough? it is enough. our 1st the fall recount, of course, on our own capabilities. but we upgrade for, for so many nato allies who have already, as they did that there will be there as you have and see is that they will stand by us. now, of course it is a historic decision. finland has for a very long time, been a neutral country. how difficult was it for your country to actually take this step . it was quite clear us that the o war by started by our so i started to in february that

there was a fundamental change of our security environment. we made an analysis and which i support of the population, almost 80 percent of the fins are now in favor of membership. it was an easy disease and actually thank you very much, ambassador. thank you. in sport to form a top football officials have been acquitted on charges of illegally using fever. funds. a caught in switzerland found former fee for president set latter and a former european president or the former president of european football, michelle platinum. not guilty of corruption charges were in connection with the payments of just over $2000000.00 euros, which brittany received from fee for during flattered tenure as fee for president in 2011. the money was paid for consultancy work performed a years prior to the payment. both men were banned from football in 2050.
