that mr. abe will also discuss this topic.ut it should be very well thought through and not be based on -- setting the stage for the development of the relationships long-term. to watche in all they our exclusive interview with vladimir putin and don't miss our special report on monday at 5:00 p.m. u.k. time. much more to come from that conversation through today's programming. us now is christopher. great to see you this morning. sticking with the direct subjects that we discussed in this interview, this is a long-running dispute between russia and japan. going back to the second world war. what are your expectations of any resolution? christopher: i would go along with the consensus that there is no easy solution to the problem. public opinion in both countries would be very hard pressed to accept a deal, even a compromised deal of the president was referring to. declarationnt basically circled a deal where would bemaller islands returned to japan in return for a peace treaty between japan and the then soviet union. that pea

mr. abe ended his speech with the long standing bid to secure a permanent seat on security council. here again, he called reform of the united nations' most powerful institution a matter of foreign ministry. >>> the four countries seeking permanent membership on the security council have issued a statement stressing the need to reform the body. ministers of japan, germany, india met on the sidelines of the general assembly. they said a more representative and effective security council is need more than ever to address numerous conflicts and humanitarian crises and ensure world peace and stability. the statement also said it is essential to have appropriate and continuous representation for smaller countries in both the permanent and non-permanent categories of an enlarged council. it cited african and island nations as countries that should have representation. japanese government officials are hoping to gain fresh momentum for the push for security reform by joining forces with developing nations. japan's foreign minister has met his russian counterpart in an effort to make headwa

mr. abe ended his speech with japan's longstanding bid to secure a permanent seat on security council. here again, he called reform of the united nations' most powerful institution a matter of urgency. >>> the u.s. federal reserve has kept its key interest rate unchanged citing the need to monitor the trend of inflation. after a two-day meeting of the federal open mark committee, the fed said growth of economic activity has picked up from the modest pace seen in the first half of this year. the committee decided to keep the federal funds rate between 0.25% and 0.5%. the fed has once again put off the first rate hike since last december but says the case for an increase in the federal funds rate has strengthened. >> most participants do expect that one increase in the federal funds rate will be appropriate this year, and i would expect to see that if we continue on the current course of labor market improvement and there are no major new risks that develop. >> fed chair yellen indicated that t

it is about time mr. abe his regime think about what is positive in the governance change we are making right now. anna: back to the more short-term. we will wait to see what the bank of japan will do. they also have this comprehensive review of policy under way. what are your expectations about that? you could interpret it in either direction, whether it meant they were increasingly or less enthusiastic about the path of monetary policy they have been following. >> i think they are really running out of land. they have conducted this negative, short-term interest rate policy. we have not witnessed the actual effect of that actually working. the more profound problem of japan is the structural, transitional side which the government is very slow at tackling right now. this is one of the reasons why things are not blooming at all and this is one of the frustrations that not only the economy but the community as a whole is feeling right now. latesthat is the thinking on perpetual bonds? they got a lot of talk a

brian: we are still waiting to see the real impact of any of these fiscal spending that mr. abeink even mr. kuroda is realizing he could not take any bold action today, partly because policy has run its course, but also because he wants the government to come through with its part of the bargain on the fiscal side. we are waiting to see that there have been some positive signs. yesterday we had real estate data showing for the first time in nine years, nationwide commercial real estate prices actually rose in the latest year. first time in nine years. there is some kind of success in fighting pockets of deflation. the broader effort is still lacking. let's bring in kevin logan, chief u.s. economist for hsbc. we were talking about boj and the fed.t this has on talk about the linkage between the p boc and china. if you are fed today and you say they will not move today, the on the backgeted of their expectations of what the fed will do. kevin: there is some of that. things have quieted down in china. think of september of 2015, all of the turmoil coming out of the chinese markets.

francine: we are getting headlines from mr. abeaying he expects policy intent to be conveyed to the market. there is a psychological level for yen. if that is at 100, does that mean they do not need to intervene directly? it isios: i think difficult for a central bank to set self-imposed limits, in a , something that, if it is above or below 100, we are going to do something. it is clear they definitely would like to avoid further yen strengthening, but at the same time -- and i think this is a general phenomenon. this is not coming from the bank of japan. all major central banks seem to have toned down the risk of session with currency -- risk of - risk obsession with currency weakness. they have stabilized and started moving higher against the dollar. i do not think they are going to do more to revert the process. tom: there is a surveillance collection -- correction right now. rinsing in london points out that tom is wrong. the swiss national bank action was slightly before davos a few years ago. francine: you did not have to do

chris: my guess is that mr. abe roda is doing.ed his intention to get the stock market up. the opposite happened. he yen went up, yields flattened like a pancake. a lot of elderly sabres in japan did not like the negative rate announcement, and most important i think the banking and insurance sectors were furious. i am not expecting him, however is ending it.y he that would be a loss of face. i just don't think he will do more negative rates. the next form will either go towards the monetization of infrastructure stimulus, as recommended in a paper earlier this year by former fed chairman mr. bernanke, and targeting yields further up the yield curve where the boj will guarantee yields at a certain level. that, to me, is where policy is likely to lead. both of those policies, in my view, will have the effect of steepening the yield curve. own stock that will do better with the yield curve. christopher, with negative yields in japan and the euro area, how much pressure does that put on the federal reserve? despite this debate which

w the policy announced by mr. abe will be adopted by parliament in september.ation of additional stimulus, and any kind of tweaks that can be added to the current, ongoing monetary easing, are a quite necessary measure to prop up not only inflation expectations, but also growth. growth has been relatively disappointing so far in japan. inhalf in 2015, -- we have 2015, a rather positive outcome, but we have come into a bit of disappointment regarding macro figures, especially gdp figures in japan. so more has to be done in order to prop up domestic demand, and himore has to be done on the monetary policy side to prop up inflation expectation and reassure markets that the boj will meet long-term inflation targets. haidi: what about china, at the moment? xavier: i think china is benefiting from what was decided late 2015. liquidity flowing into the economy, and the fact there was government spending increasing. all these factors are playing out, propping up gdp growth figures. the capital flows have been backed up so far, and there has been a consequent pressuring

if i go outside tokyo, how is mr. abe treated and how are the tokyo elite treated?se people are remarkably united. this is one of the strengths and one of the background for my people are interested in japan. populism we see in many countries is not present in japan anymore. we went to a populist period even under some earlier ldp governments, but the country is now united, realizing that each individual has to do his or her own part in raising productivity to maintain the standard of living. this is not a joke anymore. on a go around the country, i asked people -- we have a big deficit. how much do you increase taxes, cut spending? i get clear answers from people that tend toward the spending cuts, even the left-wing groups. they know the system sustainability requires that. i think we have a coherent public. when -- tom: -- francine: you look at unemployment, how you fix japan is get women back to work, get immigration. that goes to the social fabric of society. without immigration, without women going back to work, this country is going nowhere. force: women in t

mr. selig, can you give ab overview of the patchwork of state and federal enforcing agencies? >> i'll pick up a little bit of what i was just speaking about and try to do it quickly. there is a patchwork of enforcement agencies that enforce the parody law. you start with the federal government, which enforces the law for self-insured plans directly because those aren't under the regulatory perview of the states. each state has a division of insurance and an office of medicaid that enforces the law for those prospective plans. you also have the tri-care agency, also as ms. greenburg indicated, has a separate enforcement mechanism too. there are several different agencies that have responsibility for making sure the parody law is implemented and enforced. >> okay. well, because much of the enforcement tends to be at state level, especially for medicaid, it follows the states you learn from one another about best practices to insure consistency for consumers. samsa put out a report regarding best practices from seven states. for example, california insurance commissioner's office
