this is a fine that social resistance is not really a deed on in people are not just resigned to the situation and thought the protest will continue even if they are violently depressed. and it seems there is no sign of the protests going away any time soon. and that's it from me and that it seems and i'll don't go away. news asia is next with there is a banner he just after a short break on gab. alpha's in berlin. for me in the news street, i thought every journey is full of surprises. we've got all out. use them. one day in the foot of the great green. i'm in europe,

northern most count. the played a great time one. very much a line d w channel. you guy to with recognizes where exactly it was fun. i learned a lot our culture history. all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit. ah, visit did up in years asia coming up today. japan moved to rest of home a prime minister, but not the divisions he left behind. just a funeral for assassinated, former leadership of 8th is marked by morning. and why was trans, albeit such a polarizing figure in japan and how to come trees in the region view,

his legacy loss tend to education for the fly defective. our n g or in a part to sunny city is educating. cooper displaced by the countries floods on death tenths ah, ah, i better manage your work and do dw news a shot. glad you could join us a rare but divisive state funeral from mad at for much up a new leadership. so abby has been held in tokyo mon us to fer seats in a large hall before a giant or creative r b. he was shot and killed on the 8th of july. as he made a campaign speech in the city of norah foreign leaders, including us, vice president, come le harris and indian prime minister in moore, the bar in attendance, current prime minister for me. ok. she said this in his tribute, dirty guy,

called lucky guy, critical to all, who could have addicted even in the slightest, that such a day would come up as an abyss, son, you were some one who needed to be kept to life for a long time. so this the point all fig, i was convinced that you would do your best for the next 10, almost like you know, 20 years. yeah. as a compass that showed the future of japan and the world 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 rear corner for a number of reasons, including the hefty price tag of a little more than $11000000.00 and the family and his party. the only l d p is tied to

a controversial church while the unification church led to 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's a special electra and japanese studies, a condo, diversity of international studies, and joins me now from tokyo. professor hall help us understand the protests against mister abe's funeral. i mean, is it mainly to do with the costs engines or links to the unification church, or is there an entrenched opposition to shins or i'll be 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 obey, since he 1st appeared on the political scene. there at 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 re interpretation 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, and 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 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 rise 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 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 biggest foreign policy achievements. speaking of that foreign policy achievement, where do you see japan continuing to follow this direction? set footed by sions or 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 kid 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. where you let me leave it there for that. i mean, but thank you so much for joining us today. jeffrey whole special lecture and japanese studies at come conduct university of international study. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. pakistan is still reeling from the floods that have devastated large parts of the country. you are a secretary of state antony blink and announced another $10000000.00 in aid. at a meeting in washington with his pakistan, the counterpart below. but those of 30 bold cedar said it was a disaster on an unprecedented scale, a 3rd of the country remains under water after the historic and catastrophic storms . about 33000000 people are affected. farmers whose entire
