326 points on friday, that is 1. 4 . Other markets in the Asia Pacific Region were much higher as you can see here. Lets go to tokyo, and we are seeing the Prime Minister looking like he is ready to start speaking. Lets listen in. Translator whenever you have questions, you Say Something and you can take off your masks based on judgment. First, there will be remarks given by Prime Minister abe and then after that, we take questions from the floor. Mr. Prime minister. The summer heat is going on. To the people in japan, the support to the people of covid covid19. The measures what we have done. There have been requests from the Central Government what they have done for us on covid19 countermeasures. We have been fighting against invisible enemy. We try to minimize the infection as much as possible. We try to avoid the symptoms of the people to protect the lives of people from time to time based on expertise. The government has done its level best, thats what i think. But many people have been infected and some of them died. Id like to express my condolences for those victims. At this moment doctors, nurses, trying very hard to treat the diseases of the people. And i appreciate what they are doing right now. Today and from summer to autumn, the fall and the winter, we made decisions on government against covid19. Many facts have come to light during the past six months. Striking a balance between the preventive measures and social activities as possible. We have seen advancement of treatment drugs such as remdesivir. Half of the people who died are in their 80s and older. They are the high risk of serious symptoms for elderly people and people suffering chronic diseases. We try to save a life of the people. The most important key for the government is how we can deal with the countermeasures for those people. Winter is coming. On top of covid19, it is now flu. We may have more people with fevers. We have to reduce the burden on medical systems and well have a you are listening there to the japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe. He is talking about the government response there to covid, of course the reason we went to that press conference in the first place is that were hearing from local press reports occurri during these comments, beer expecti were expecting the Prime Minister to actually resign. He has not got there. So well continue to monitor that press conversatiference. But i do want to stick with tokyo and with the expectation that this press conference could go in a far different direction than a list of the governments successes and failures when it comes to covid. Absolutely. I think that it is important to note that this press conference that Prime Minister shinzo abe is giving at his official place of work is the first since june 18th. It has been 2 1 2 months since he has addressed the public in this fashion. And during that time, his support rating has fallen. If has stabilized since. And as you may know over the last two weeks, it has been a tumultuous time in japanese politics because the Prime Minister made two hospital visits back to back and it sparked concerns about his health and those concerns were reignited today as nhk and other local media reported that the Prime Minister decided for step down. It is an important time for him because he has already marked 2799 consecutive days as the japanese perform. This is one for the history books already. However, he has long suffered from colitis, he suffered from it as a teenager. And people were concerned that history may repeat itself today because this is Prime Minister shinzo abes second time in office. The first time around, he abruptly resigned after one year citing Health Reasons. On analysts and political watchers and government officials were very concerned that he may do so again. Leaving the japanese liberal democratic party, which is the party which is the leading party here in japan in disarray. Now, just take back look back as to what abe has done in the last 7 1 2 years. The problems started to rise this year in particular as the pandemic hit. There was a lot of criticism that the government response to the pandemic and covid19 was too little too late. Particularly because japan had a chance to respond to it much sooner with the diamond princess cruise ship. On top of that, there is the economy. Prime minister shinzo abe has made his economic agenda part of his legacy. People call it abenomics. It was monetary easing, physical expansion and structural reform. To his credit, the stock market has about doubled during that time. But then the pandemic came along and pushed the japanese economy deeper into recession. So this is the situation the Prime Minister faced and as we expect him to make a resignation anytime now. Thanks so much for that update. And well continue to monitor this press conference. Thanks for that. So donald trump has defied Political Convention from the moment he ran for president. But in accepting the republican nomination for reelection thursday night, he certainly shattered any illusions of normalcy, even in the midst of a pandemic that has killed 180,000 americans in just five months, about 1500 cheering supporters sat shoulder to 140ushoulder on white house lawn. According to President Trump, they had plenty else to be afraid of, namely joe biden a. There is violence in the streets in many democratic run cities. This could be easily fixed if they wanted to. We must have law and order. You will federal crimes are being investigated and punished to the fullest extent of the law. The president has had very little support in the black community, just 4 in within recent poll. Yet he portrayed himself as a champion of the Africanamerican Community. On par with abraham lincoln. I have done more in three years for the black community than joe biden has done in 47 years. And when im reelected, the best is yet to come. President trumps record over the past 3 1 2 years speaks for itself, but on the final night of the Republican National convention, numerous speakers spoke about him in much different terms. One might expect a glowing portrait from his he wouldeelde daughter, but others played on the fears. Including an emotional plea from the wid at the ow of a retired officer who was killed by rye on thors. We want a culture where differences of opinion and debate are encouraged, not canceled. Where Law Enforcement is respected. Where our countrys rich diversity is celebrated and where people of all backgrounds, races, genders and creeds have the chance to achieve anywhere godgiven potential. This is the future my father is working to build each and every day. We need a president who stands up for america, not one who takes a knee. A strong and proud america is a safe america. Safe from our enemies and safe from war. President trump does not dabble in identity politics. He wants everyone to succeed. And believes in the adage arising tide lifts all boats. Many on the other side love to incite division by claiming that President Trump is a racist. They could not be more wrong. These continuous riots in democratic cities gives you a good view of the future under biden. All five of the top cities for homicides like the top cities for rioting and looting are governed by progressive democrats using the Progressive Democratic approach to crime, which is to do nothing. Violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest. They do not safe guard black lives. They only destroy them. President trump understands this, has offered federal help to restore order in our communities. In a time where Police Departments are short on resources and manpower, we need that help. We should accept that help. We must heal before we can effect change. But we cannot heal amid devastation and chaos. I do want to take you back to our top story, straight back to tokyo where the Prime Minister shinzo abe is speaking. We are expecting him to resign. Lets listen in. Translator for the past seven years and eight months, we have addressed a variety of challenges. There are a lot of the challenges we havent completed. At the same time, there are some achievements and there are some milestones that we hit in order to respond to the mandate. The achievements are thanks to the public and people of japan. I want to extend my appreciation to the people of japan. Despite all the support, even though i have one year to go in my tenure, and with other challenges that have not been addressed yet, and amid the coronavirus outbreak, i decided to step down as the Prime Minister. I would like to send my apologies to the people of japan. I wasnt able to solve of issues involving japanese nationals. It is something i regret. The peace treaty with russia. Im going to leave my status without achieving all of those ambitions and targets. It is indeed a regrettable thing for us. But it is a commitment made by the ldp to the people of japan. Under the new leadership of the party, well work out new policies, well have a new engine for growth and for momentum and those measures will be executed. Next Prime Minister, before he or she is appointed, the onus will be on me, i will take my responsibility as the Prime Minister of japan. I go through treatment, i have to regain my health again so that i can stand behind a new administration as a politician. To the people in japan, i appreciate your support for about eight years. Thank you very much indeed. We can take questions from reporters, first based on practices, we take questions from two coordinators. If your name is announced, please go to the mic. So you decided to step down as the Prime Minister as understand, the Continuous Administration of the drug will continue. Maybe you could have considered the option to serve as Prime Minister and be treated. So i believe your Health Condition is very severe. Are there any necessity for you to go to the hospital continuous continuously . So when did you make decision to resign and in the First Administration you needed to quit and this is the second time for you to do that. Listening there to the japanese Prime Minister who has announced to the nation and word that he is resigning after nearly eight years in power, the longest serving japanese Prime Minister. I want to stay with this in tokyo. There are questions ynow being taken from journalists. What did you make of thievese comments . Reporter well, two believe bows that the Prime Minister gave as he made an apology to the nation, apologizing that he could not fulfill the requirements that were tasked to him as Prime Minister of japan. And the ren for thaason for tha cited his ongoing illness which we believe to be colitis. Lets take you back to how he explained the situation, his health concerns. He said that the did not surrounsu condition surfaced back in june and he was taking medication to try to treat this illness. But then there was a sudden change in his health as the Prime Minister put it around the middle of july. And he felt that he had exhausted his energies. And then he said that at the beginning of august, the condition started to flare up and so he tried an additional drug to try to calm that situation, but on the 17th of august as the Prime Minister shinzo abe just explained, he went back to that hospital, that very famous hospital visit by now, and he was told by his doctors shinzo abe says that he needs to make continued treatment. And in response to this, to use shinzo abes words, he says that in politics, results are everything. And this is the reason why he says that he is stepping down as the longest serving Prime Minister japan has seen in the postwar period. He has already made history with that earlier on in this wake, but History Today is repeating itself because this is the second time that shinzo abe is resigning abruptly. This is his second stint in office, his first one was short lived, just one year and he resigned for Health Reasons as well. He has been under tremendous pressure, all leaders have as we face this pandemic. But in particular shinzo abe because japan was one of the first countries to have to deal with this crisis and there has been a lot of criticism that the response from his government was too little too late. And we saw decline in his support rating and of course the economic collapse. So now we have confirmation that shinzo abe the Prime Minister of japan will be resigning after nearly eight years in office this time around. Thank you so much for that.

Organizers say they wanted to drown out trump who they say has dwaded t divided the country and mishandled the pandemic. The noise was heard from the south lawn and occasionally during the televised address. Days after being shot in the back seven times by kenosha Wisconsin Police officer, 29yearold jacob blake remains in hospital. Blakes family says that he is handcuffed to the bed in his hospital room. Wisconsins governor said there is no reason for that sort of treatment. No personal understanding why that would be necessary. Certainly he has paid a horrific price already being shot seven or eight times in the back. So i cant imagine why that is happening and i would hope that we would be able to find a better way to have him get better. Kenosha city officials held a News Conference thursday that was short on answers literally, they refused to take questions about blake or the shooting at a protest tuesday night that left two dead and one injured. However the suspect in tuesdays bloat shooti protest shooting now faces multiple felony charges. And some of these images are disturbing. Omar jimenez has the details. Reporter people from politicians to athletes are fed up with what has now become an alltoo familiar story. The nba is now set to resume play later this week after postponing their playoffs for days in sole daidaritysolidarit. And the wnba joining the nba in postponing games set to be played tonight and several nfl teams canceling their practices today to show support. Kind of felt helpless, like they wanted to to somethinit do they felt like they were thi protected from what everyone else was seen. So the fact that you have everyone on the campus, it has to be the perfect storm, it is a bubble. Reporter but in kenosha, a community dealing with pain and even violence on almost a nightly basis. Wednesday Police Arrested 17yearold Kyle Rittenhouse and charged him with first degree intentional homicide after a night where two people were killed and a third person injured. His social media portrays him as someone who love guns, police and the president. Even posting a tiktok from one of President Trumps iowa rallies in january. It is not clear if that or support for Blue Lives Matter played into his actions. A post believed to belong to rittenhouse appears to show him tuesday with a rifle near the scene of the protests. While Law Enforcement hasnt confirmed the man seen here in the video is actually rittenhouse, within a minute of this man firing his weapon, he is seen walking toward police with his hands up as onlookers continue to yell. But Law Enforcement moves on. Thursday nearly all of the local leadership held a press conference but didnt add any major new details and shuffled out without taking a single question. That shooting came three night after jacob blake was shot several times in the back by rusten sheskey, a seven year veteran with the department. All Law Enforcement officers are fully cooperating with dci and the involve the officers have been placed on administrative leave. As i said, this
