not at all women in architecture. why are they so invisible to the larger public? we decided to ask them, missus, and what is the poetry? the secret of the house i'm housed about, their struggles and dreams. responsibility is hugely has so much to really shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. the st. louis has to be really, really good. start september 30th on dw visited up in years, asia coming up to date japan news to rest of home of prime minister, but not the divisions he left behind. the state funeral for assassinated, former leadership of 8th is marked by morning. and otis, why was friends obeyed such a polarizing figure in japan?

and how do countries in the region view his legacy last tend to education for the flood defective? our n g or in a pakistani city is educating pupils, displaced by the countries floods under tanks. ah, i british bandage, you're welcome to dw news asia. glad you could join us. a rare but divisive state funeral from baghdad, former japanese, either shins or abbey, has been held in talk. your mourners took their seats in a large hold before a giant or trait of alby. he was shot and killed on the 8th of july. as he made a campaign speech in the city of nara foreign leaders, including us, vice president, pamela harris, and indian prime minister there in modi. bought in attendance, got prime minister from york,

issued up said this in his tribute he toyota corolla. he got critical to all who could have predicted, even in the slightest that such a day would come up with her and at the law abbey, son, you were some one who needed to be kept to lie for a long time. ever. that are nice to dish it on thought sick. i don't i was convinced that you would do your best for the next 10. almost like you know, 20 years. yeah. me as a campus that showed the future of japan and the world with extra oxy stick. but not all feel that way. protest as opposed to the state funeral, marched on the streets of tokyo ahead of the ceremony. people objected to the rare wonder for a number of reasons, including the hefty price tag of a little more than $11000000.00. and the abi, a family and his party,

the really in these ties to a controversial church all the unification church of is a lead. assess him, told police he killed, i'll be because of those things. so let's get more context on this from jeffrey hall. he the special lecturer in japanese studies that condo university of international studies. and george me now from talk your professor hall help us understand the protests against mister abbey's funeral. i mean, is it mainly to do with the costs? and sions are arby as links to the unification church, or is there an entrenched opposition to shins or abbey that we are seeing here? well, it's all of the things you just described in a little bit of each. there has been domestic opposition to ave, since he 1st appeared on the political scene. there the political left sees him as someone who is engaged in a corrupt actions or is engaged in historical revisionism that is harmful to

japan's relations with its allies and to the truth of teaching history in the country of it. there's also people who just don't really understand why millions of dollars are being spent on a lavish funeral. when this isn't really the norm in japan. you talked about historical revisionism and i think what you might be also referring to is the read to petition of japan's pacifists constitution that allows japan's self defense forces to potentially fight overseas for the 1st time since world war 2. and wondering if this is his most divisive domestic political legacy. it is one of the most divisive legacies he has. it is tied to this idea of historical revisionism, japan escaping the bind that it was tied in at the end of world war to a constitution that banded from having a military and being able to use that military to wage war. and his domestic critics feared that his re interpretations of the constitution that he pushed

forward that allowed japan self defense forces to be legally capable of aiding allies in a military conflict. they worried that this would bring japan back into the path to war, and it led to mass protests when this was inactive. and it is something that people still remember to the stairs, one of the biggest legacies domestically. but conversely, but it is also something that seemed to india him if i can put it that way to countries in the region didn't, did particularly when you come to australia and the us potentially which along with japan are concerned about the eyes of china. definitely from the perspective of people who believe that there should be stronger regional security cooperation. that alliances in the region should be balancing against the rise of china. ave was a great leader. and within japan, there is a segment of the population that is very appreciative of what they think of as ave,

keeping their countries safer by building these better ties with these nations that are known as the quad. and you could see that at today's funeral, each of those nations cent important leaders to the funeral. they were mentioned on camera. they were shown during the television footage. and some of the speeches also mentioned the importance of the quad. so this is one of our big, biggest foreign policy achievements. speaking of that foreign policy achievement, do you see japan continuing to follow this direction? set footed by sions of japan, or do you think it is time perhaps at least looking at the opposition that the state funeral has gone on for prime minister from your commission to potentially alter course. i don't think there's any altering, of course that's going to take place. the conservatives are still in power in japan . but this opposition and the unpopularity related to the unification church

scandal will distract. he and his government from being able to move forward on issues like an actual formal change of the constitution, which would require a national referendum. and you don't want to have a national referendum when your approval rating is well below 50 percent. wheeler leave it there for the time being. but thank you so much for joining us today. jeffrey, hold special lecture and japanese studies at can conduct university of international study. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. back is on is still reeling from the floods that have devastated large parts of the country. you are a secretary of the aid at a meeting in washington with his pockets on the counter but beloved, but those of 30 both leaders said it was a disaster. on an unprecedented scale, a 3rd of the country remains underwater after the historic and catastrophic storms . about 33000000 people are affected. farmers whose entire
