and shinzo abe's regime and administration, i am afraid about.ess those issues? well, it is clearly telling how difficult it is to abandon the army once we had this organisation. the emperor had to come out and to speak out and it made such tremendous effort for everyone in the cabinet to finish the war, to end the war, and to abandon the army to save the nation. and ifjapan moves that way again, to form a new type of army, i feel fear of what we're doing, that we're going to harm's way. some feel it is an unnecessarily anxious view of the current japanese government. to bring about the surrender, hirohito had to face down resistance at the top of his government. and harada says portraying the emperor on screen today also involved taboos. while in preproduction, i checked about the safety of making this film and asked mr hando who wrote the book, and he asked some right—wingers and checked the situation, and maybe it is safe to show the emperor in that way, but to betray the family feud among the emperor's family, nobody tested that water yet. ma

and shinzo abe and his dialogue with donald trump, is it going to plan? talk us through it.japan, korea, russia, all of the involved parties will look at if broadly favourably in that it is pulling the world away from a possible conflict on the korean peninsula when you think about six months ago, the end of last year. —— look at it. i was standing ona of last year. —— look at it. i was standing on a us aircraft carrier with talk of a potential military strike happening at any time against north korea to take out military capabilities. and now behind me they are sitting down and having lunch together soon and smiling and shaking hands and talking about a tremendous relationship with great discussions going on. in terms of atmospherics, there is a massive change, and that will be welcome everywhere. country by country around the region, different attitudes. the president of south korea, president moon, he is very happy, as he once peace on the korean peninsula, his number one mission. china will be looking on with a degree of concern. china has very, very real interests in wh

nancy, just very briefly, you're in tokyo, of course, a lot of conversation about how shinzo abe mighton what he might be thinking right now?|j this, what is your take on what he might be thinking right now? i think japan feels a little bit out of the mix here. japan has been pushing hard, shinzo abe in particular, on negotiating regarding the kidnapped japanese. that's been a longtime thorn between these two countries. and, of course, the usjapan security alliance plays very strongly here. japan is very much in alignment with the knighted states and if this goes well for trump, i don't think that this would rule out japan then having a follow—up meeting either with kim all with moon, there are so many players here, even china and russia, who helped to co—ordinate this. that would suggest a meeting with many more parties in the future. that makes it more complicated because then there is a lot more dealmaking potentially that goes on. but right now i think we would like to see these two get along so that it's the beginning of continued dialogue to follow, because working out the detail

canada where leaders have been arriving in quebec since last night amongst the japanese prime minister shinzo papacies prime minister theresa may and german chancellor angela merkel on the agenda economic growth climate change gender equality and the ongoing dispute over u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports not of them may be another topic up for discussion could see donald trump before leaving for canada he called for russia to be readmitted to the g. seven after it was expelled of the annexation of crimea. right here should be in this meeting why are we having a meeting without russia being in the meeting i would recommend and it's up to them but russia should be in the me to get to be a part of it you know whether you like it or not and it may not be politically correct but we have a world to run at the g seven which used to be the g eight they threw russia out they should let russia come back in because we should have russia at the negotiating. deluca correspondent naaman is at the summit in quebec city welcome alexander what startled trump are trying to achieve. doesn't trump is ex

president trump has been holding talks with japan's prime minister, and promised shinzo abe improvedrade links, and a serious effort to retrieve japanese citizens kidnapped by north korea. jane o'brien reports. with the clock ticking down to tuesday's summit with kimjong—un, donald trump was visibly excited. i think it's going to be a very fruitful meeting, an exciting meeting, i think we're going to get to know a lot of people that our country never got to know. so the summit now seems to be more of a getting—to—know—you session, rather than a complex and high—stakes negotiation — another insight into mr trump's rather unorthodox approach. i don't think i have to prepare very much. it's about attitude, it's about a willingness to get things done. but i think i've been preparing for this summit for a long time. that is in contrast to the rather more direct approach taken by the secretary of state, mike pompeo, when asked if both sides were closer to agreeing on a definition of "denuclearisation". yes. reporter: can you describe that a little bit? no. laughter. announcer: ladies and g

fact that it could take two or three meetings and that this summit could last over two or three days shinzoout be said in the oval office when he was asked that he'd like to make sure that their policy direction aims arline no he wants to make sure that concerns that he wants to raise are brought up with the north koreans and the include alleged abductor plus north korea's long and medium range ballistic missile program and so he wants to make sure that they are clearly on the agenda and everything in the neighborhood is considered not just the united states doing a deal for the united states that make donald trump look good put him on the path to a nobel peace prize and also plays well with this big so he wants to make sure that there is some preparation that he does consider not just what he wants or the summit but what others want to do in shinzo abby has been quite hard line on the approach to north korea much more saw than the president of south korea he knows it plays well with his base but he wants to make sure that these concerns are addressed they're brought up and not just brushed

this is the arrival of the japanese prime minister shinzo abe therefore the g7 summit.equivalent japan's air force one, prime minister abe should be getting out and making his way to the venue soon. let's talk about japan, a contraction for the economy during the first quarter. it was bad the first time when they measured it, and it was worse when they had a revision. business spending good, but a poor reading of consumption, gdp contracting .6% compared with estimates of a contraction of .4%. haidi: investors seem to be focused on the yen, the currency strengthening on trade tensions ahead of the g7 summit and concerns over rising instability and markets. joining us now is the chief market economist of nomura securities in tokyo. let's look at one of the ramifications of the emerging-market royal we have been seeing. a fraud feud days going into this kim-trump leadership meeting. if the yen continues on a strengthening trajectory, does that create another headwind for the boj given the ugliness in the revised final gdp number today? >> that is a good question. i think

well i think there was a concern among the japanese and we know that shinzo rb is much more hardline on his position with north korea than the president of south korea and he was concerned that donald trump would be so focused on doing a deal for the united states and for donald trump space and to make donald trump look good that key issues would be forgotten not least the medium and long ballistic missile program that north korea has and also the alleged abductor japanese citizens who japan says were taken by north korea and have been held in some cases for more than thirty forty years and so he wanted some face time with the president to make sure that that was on the agenda and certainly from what we had in the last twenty minutes or so shinzo abbey has convinced donald trump that this is an issue that needs to be raised very evilly on in the process now from donald trump what we got was a bit of mixed messaging if you're a political operative if you worked in a press office you would be very concerned about what he's seeing because he's saying look this is a problem that should h
