now shigeru ishiba is known as a former defense minister and someone who's done a lot of work in rural revival well, i station, of course, that is a very big problem in japan because of the demographic crisis that he faces. and it's actually quite well liked by the general public because of this. but within his own party actually struggles with a lot of unpopularity he's seen as more of a harsh critic and someone who wants betrayed his own party when the ldp lost power very briefly. now achieve of course despite these issues and able to secure enough votes to become the president of the ldp. clearly lawmakers saw him as the best choice to lead the party in the general elections, which will be held in october. now ishiba, as you mentioned, rosemary, does inherit a couple of very large problems from now, the former japanese prime minister fumio kishida. the first is a lackluster economy and a very high cost of living for many people in japan the second is very big and significant political scandals. and that's actually why we saw from the okey-doke having to step down because he was unab

so prime minister shigeru ishiba has pledged to offer some financial support.ve in big cities, you will automatically be penalised because, for example, the country's social security system puts a huge financial burden on today's working generation in order to support the country's ageing population. but also, japan is known for a notoriously low turnout rate, especially among the youth, so the result will also depend on whether or not they're going out to vote. but i think it is fair to say that this is one of the toughest elections that the ruling party has faced since it briefly lost power from 2009 for three years. from the japanese elections to the us. here in the us election, immigration has been a big subject — from threats to deport millions of undocumented workers to fantasies about immigrants eating pets. republican hopeful donald trump is appearing in texas later this friday to focus on immigration. but the campaign rhetoric rarely connects with the economic reality, which is that large scale immigration is currently a vital part of us economic growt

prime minister shigeru ishiba called itjust days after he took the helm of the governing liberal democraticnight, pledging to "build a newjapan" — but he's facing strong headwinds, with the ldp rocked by a series of corruption scandals — the latest of which saw mr ishiba's predecessor booted from office. his main rival, yoshihiko noda, leader of the opposition constitutional democratic party, told supporters that the ldp only worked for those who offered the party cash, ignoring the needs of japan's poorest. going into the election, the ldp and its coalition partner komeito had a healthy majority, with 279 of the a65 seats in the house of representatives. the constitutional democratic party, its closest rival, stood at 98 seats, with the remainder scattered between a range of minor parties from across the political spectrum. many analysts are predicting large losses for the ldp, but if the ldp does not have enough members or votes to form government, which opposition policy and party would be able to do just that? our correspondent has more information about the circumstances and the signif
