how is kishida going to address that? >> very carefully. kishida is trying to stay in step with the g7 while also not burning any bridges. japan has built friendly relations with both israel and arab nations. kishida is not being as vocal in his support for israel compared to western leaders. still, japan has called the attacks by hamas terror attacks. and it told israel that the country has a right to protect itself and its people. but an israeli ground offensive is expected soon. the fear is that will kill many civilians. if that happens, kishida will face pressure on his stance on the conflict. and managing that diplomatic balance will become even more tricky. >>> we stay with news out of japan. a kabuki actor has admitted to helping his parents commit suicide at a tokyo district court. his father who's also a kabuki actor and his mother were found collapsed at their home in tokyo. both parents were confirmed dead. the 47-year-old kabuki star is alleged to have given his parents sleeping drugs to help them end their lives. he told invest

japanese prime minister fumio kishida has touted his lands for cuts and energy cities.oins us out of tokyo. isabel, what do we know about these rebates that the prime minister is planning? isabel: on friday night, kishida called in some of his senior executives and said we need to have tax cuts, i want you to think about the details of that. on sunday he had two by elections. in japan, one of them he lost, a seat that belongs to his party. then he gave his opening speech to the social parliament yesterday and reiterated the plan that he was going to offer tax breaks. he also said he will continue the energy subsidies that have already put in place and have been extended to the end of this year, now they are going to continue into the spring. what happens next is that the ruling party executives have to go into meetings and deciding exactly what form these tax breaks are going to take. the consensus so far is that it seems like it will be a flat rebate, we don't know exactly how much, and it could be for about a year. there has been a process this is a temporary move to

i think if you take a look at the way japan has responded, fo, to prime minister kishida in hiroshima. all of these things suggest a real development, a real change, a maturing, and improvement in the relationship that is, in fact, based on the genuine feelings and concerns of the government of japan from other people of japan, the republic of korea. beyond that, i think you would have to ask your questions to the government of japan from a government of south korea, but my sense is that things are improving, and that we should focus on that. mr. tokola: in my sense, history is not being forgotten. the statements read like an agreement, historical issues, important cooperation now, like we have in the past. the gentleman here with the glasses. >> thanks. about the nuclear, does that contribute to the nuclear nonproliferation, keeping the genie in the bottle? can you say something about the economic level? but ai, i can see stuff like con academy -- khan academy, can into leveling the playing field in schools. can you say something about the economic, nonproliferation? lt. col. deckard

prime minister kishida, his approval rating they are is 50%, very low. i mean come in his approval ratings -- i mean, his approval ratings are very high. people in japan are probably not thinking that much about foreign policy. so it will depend on domestic, public, public and polarized politics in all three countries, i think, and especially in japan and korea. mr. tokola: people say that these issues are generational, that they will soften with time. history stays with you. it does not fade with generations. saying "the past is never dead " -- it is not even past. sayuri: yeah. i think it is good that history stays with us, but i the same time, there is so much polarization -- politicization on all sides. they hit an emotional chord in the public. clint: can i just jump in? i think it was proven, and you mentioned in the press conference afterwards, that they are trying to create a bridge between the legal issues in the court cases and the higher level sorted diplomatic agreements. but to sayuri's point, and is maybe what you were alluding to, there ar

painful history here, but we have to applaud the courage of the rok president as well as prison a kishida in taking up this challenge because they recognize that the geostrategic conditions in east asia have changed, and we have to recognize that we have to respond to this, and the best way for this is to unite or to bring together these two democracies that have so much in common with us in terms of values, bring them together in an effort to push back on some of what we have seen out there, so when we talked about the regional security environment changing, we're not just talking about one country. we are talking about russia's illegal and unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation. we talked about since 2022 the nearly 100 lodges of missiles coming from the dprk, including four icbms just this year, so this environment has created this opportunity for us to unite like-minded countries to protect our security, and this is important, but it is about american security as well as the entire east asia pacific region. absolutely significant, and we look forward to more conversations. it's not e
