Starting with japan where the governing party has elected its new leader to succeed shinzo. A long time ally of the outgoing Prime Minister this liberal Democratic Party leadership vote paves the way for him to be placed in a parliamentary vote later this week is japans longest serving Prime Minister resigned last month for Health Reasons robert broads following this one from seoul today hi rob this looks like almost a succession in the end rather than election will be more of the same from a longtime ally of the Prime Minister. Indeed this is always going to be a foregone conclusion but still an impressive margin of victory or he goes super getting nearly 3 quarters of all of the votes cast his 2 rivals coming nowhere near to challenge him but then of course he was always the anointed successor in a way to as shinzo having served as his loyal faithful right had man as the chief cabinet secretary for nearly 8 years very much believing in these socalled conservative economics that were meant to revitalize the economy also at hearing to base belief in trying to reinvent japan on the world stage its expected that hes going to Carry Forward these these beliefs is very much a kind of continuity Prime Minister but there is a very significant change in style now was in some ways far more charismatic he comes from a long line almost a political dennis de in japan by contrast suger is a far more down to earth far more pragmatic as he said in his acceptance speech his background is an agricultural one he is here as he said from a family of strong brief farmers he has promised that he will serve faithfully this office and in passing over in congratulating him in his speech based said that he was pretty much passing on now a torch that obviously this has to be confirmed with a special session of the diets the lower house of the Japanese Parliament on wednesday when its expected to go will then be confirmed as the next Prime Minister and what sort of japan does he inherits rob economically socially postcode. It comes at a pretty fraught time as a lot of people who wouldnt really envy him taking on this job because of course you have the worst cratering of the japanese economy in decades as a result of that still remains and Major Public Health crisis on the diplomatic front you have the worst relations with neighboring south korea that theyve had for decades also japan continues to be caught in the wrangling between china and the United States so hes taking on all of these problems at this time of course hes only meant to be in power for one year almost like an interim Prime Minister this is the year that they should have served out to the rest of his premiership before the party has to call a general election about the same Time Next Year but there is a lot of speculation that looking at all the problems Going Forward that the problems hes facing now could actually get worse you have the mounting economic problems the nightmare of this olympics which was delayed which opinion polls in japan say nobody really cares about so there is speculation that he might try to call a snap election trade that one year for maybe a new term of 4 years for him self in his party never dull and japanese politics is that right mcbride with that update thank you.
