UNITED STATES SANCTIONS IRANIAN OPERATIVES ACCUSED OF OVERSEAS ASSASSINATION PLOTS

@Jackie San

WASHINGTON, June 1 (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday imposed sanctions on members and affiliates of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard and its external operations arm whom Washington accused of participating in terrorist plots targeting former U.S. government officials, dual U.S. and Iranian nationals and Iranian dissidents.

The U.S. Treasury Department said the move targeted three Iran- and Turkey-based individuals and a company affiliated with the IRGC-Quds Force and two senior officials of the IRGC's Intelligence Organization involved in plotting external lethal operations against civilians, including journalists.

In a statement, the Treasury said the five included Mohammad Reza Ansari, a Quds Force member whom it said has supported its operations in Syria, and Iranian citizen Shahram Poursafi, whom it said had planned and attempted to assassinate two former U.S. government officials.

It also put sanctions on Hossein Hafez Amini, a dual Iranian and Turkish national based in Turkey, whom it accused of using his Turkish-based airline, Rey Havacilik Ithalat Ihracat Sanayi Ve, to assist the Quds Force's covert operations, including kidnapping and assassination plots targeting Iranian dissidents.The airline was also placed under sanctions.

The Treasury Department also said it had imposed penalties on two people linked to the IRGC's Intelligence Organization, which it described as a domestic and international unit focused on targeting journalists, activists, dual Iranian nationals, and others who oppose Iranian abuses and human rights violations.

It named these as Rouhallah Bazghandi, the former chief of the Intelligence Organization's counterespionage department, and the Intelligence Organization's chief, Reza Seraj.

As a result of the Treasury sanctions, all property of the five individuals and the company subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked. In addition, carrying out some transactions with them can expose actors to "secondary sanctions" under which the United States can penalize non-U.S. individuals and entities.

KISHIDA UNVEILS PLAN TO TACKLE BIRTHRATE CRISIS IN JAPAN

KISHIDA UNVEILS PLAN TO TACKLE BIRTHRATE CRISIS IN JAPAN

@Jackie San

TOKYO

: Japan's prime minister unveiled a 3.5 trillion plan on Thursday to expand support for young people and families in a bid to help raise the country's plummeting birthrate.

Larger direct subsidies for those with children and more financial help for education and prenatal care are on the cards, along with the promotion of flexible work styles and paternity leave.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said he was proposing "policies to tackle the falling birthrate on an unprecedented scale" as well as steps to "increase income for the young, and the child-rearing generation".

"We will move forward with these measures to fight the falling birthrate without asking the public to bear a further burden," he told ministers, experts and business leaders gathered to discuss the issue.

While many developed countries are struggling with low birthrates, the problem is particularly acute in Japan.

It has the world's second-oldest population after Monaco, and its relatively strict immigration rules mean it faces growing labour shortages.

The country of 125 million recorded fewer than 800,000 births last year, the lowest since records began, while the cost of elderly care soared.

At Thursday's meeting, Kishida said he wanted to budget roughly 3.5 trillion yen over the next three years for the policies.

The drive has drawn criticism, however, for its failure to identify funding sources other than spending cuts elsewhere and improving the economy.

REQUIRE 10% SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL SUPPLY FROM 2030 - JAPAN

REQUIRE 10% SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL SUPPLY FROM 2030 - JAPAN

@Jackie San

TOKYO (Jiji Press) — The Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry said Friday it plans to require oil wholesalers to make sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, account for 10% of their aviation fuel supply from 2030.

The move is aimed at promoting the use of SAF, which emits less carbon dioxide than conventional fuels, to accelerate decarbonization efforts in the aviation industry, which faces “flight shame” criticism for its notoriously high emissions compared with other modes of transportation such as rail.

The ministry unveiled the SAF requirement plan at a meeting of a public-private council for SAF promotion. The ministry will consider introducing a penalty for noncompliance. It aims to implement the requirement next spring.

Made from waste cooking oil and plants, SAF produces 60% to 80% less CO2 emissions than conventional aviation fuels.

SAF is considered necessary to meet an emissions reduction target set by the International Civil Aviation Organization.

All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines have set a target of increasing the proportion of SAF in their fuel consumption to 10% in fiscal 2030.

However, the global supply of SAF is still low. Japan has not developed domestic SAF production capacity, and securing a stable supply of the fuel is an urgent task for the country.

The government estimates that domestic demand for SAF will reach at least 1.71 million kiloliters in 2030.

To support the development of stable SAF supply systems, the ministry will consider having the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) extend investment and loan guarantees to overseas SAF material and logistics infrastructure development projects.

It will also consider reducing petroleum and coal taxes and import duties on SAF from overseas from 2025.

TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE WITH PARENTS - KABUKI ACTOR ICHIKAWA ENNOSUKE

@Jackie San

Kabuki actor Ichikawa Ennosuke, 47, who was rushed to the hospital from his home in a dazed condition on May 18, told the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department on Wednesday that he had tried to commit suicide with his parents, according to investigative sources.

According to the police, Ennosuke; his father, kabuki actor Ichikawa Danshiro IV, 76; and his mother, 75, were found collapsed at their home in Meguro Ward, Tokyo, last week, and the two parents died. What was believed to be a suicide note written by Ennosuke was found in a room of the house.

All three may have taken sleeping pills, and the Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the circumstances.

According to investigative sources, the cause of death of the parents is believed to be psychotropic drug overdose, and there were signs that Ennosuke had taken some kind of drug when he was taken to the hospital. No sleeping pills or other drugs were found in the home.

USING WHITE ' FLAGS ' SHIELD SAPLINGS FROM DEER IN SHIMONOSEKI THE BEST WAY - JAPAN

USING WHITE ' FLAGS ' SHIELD SAPLINGS FROM DEER IN SHIMONOSEKI THE BEST WAY - JAPAN

@Jackie San

An array of white flags appears to blanket the mountainside in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, startling passersby with its resemblance to the ancient military camps of feudal warlords or grave markers.

Upon closer examination, however, these are not symbols of battle or death, but rather an ingenious method of plant protection. They are cylindrical polyethylene covers, employed to protect young hinoki cypress and kunugi oak from being ravaged by deer.

Each about 1.7 meters long, the covers were placed over approximately 20,000 seedlings by workers from the local forestry cooperative in February. The seedlings are planted across approximately seven hectares of land, and each received one cover.

The seedlings will continue to grow undisturbed until they are large enough that new shoots are no longer at risk from deer, about four to five years later. At this point, the covers will be removed.

The cooperative has been doing this for about 20 years. However, this year, because the site is visible from National Route 435, it has garnered more attention than usual.

According to the prefecture and the city, deer in Shimonoseki caused about ¥75.9 million in damage to agriculture and forestry in fiscal 2021.

SHEEP OUTNUMBER PEOPLE LESS THAN 5 TO 1, A RECORD LOW - NEW ZEALAND

SHEEP OUTNUMBER PEOPLE LESS THAN 5 TO 1, A RECORD LOW - NEW ZEALAND 

@Jackie San

WELLINGTON (May 23, 2023): New Zealand’s sheep outnumber people by fewer than five to one, official figures showed Monday, clipping their lead over humans to the lowest level since the 1850s.

New Zealanders have far fewer of the woolly grazers than their Australian rivals, said the government body Stats NZ, despite frequently being the butt of their sheep jokes.

The national flock fell by 400,000 sheep — or two percent — to 25.3 million in June 2022, said New Zealand’s newly released five-yearly census of agricultural production.

“The ratio of sheep to people dropped below five to one in 2022, for the first time since the 1850s, when national sheep numbers were first recorded,” said Stats NZ analyst Jason Attewell.

“In 1982 New Zealand sheep numbers famously sat at 22 per person,” he added.

“Australia currently has three times as many sheep as New Zealand, though their ratio is only around three sheep to every Aussie.”

New Zealand, home to 5.2 million people, is one of the world’s main wool exporters, last year sending US$284 million worth overseas.

But rising farming costs and falling wool prices have seen national sheep figures dwindle from a high of 72 million in the 1980s.

PRIME MINISTER DENIES EARLY DISSOLUTION OF LOWER HOUSE IN JAPAN

@Jackie San

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida denied on Sunday that he would dissolve the House of Representatives early and call a general election.

Asked at a press conference in Hiroshima whether he would dissolve the lower house if opposition parties submit a no-confidence motion against the Cabinet, Kishida said, “Our top priority is to achieve results on important policy issues. I’m not thinking about dissolving the lower house for a general election at the moment.”

Only about one month remains until the end of the current ordinary Diet session on June 21.

SHOHEI OHTANI, MASATAKA YOSHIDA : ANGELS BEAT RED SOX 2 - 1

SHOHEI OHTANI, MASATAKA YOSHIDA : ANGELS BEAT RED SOX 2 - 1 

@Jackie San

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP), JAPAN — Mickey Moniak continues to make his case for being an every day outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels.

Moniak had two hits, including a home run in the eighth inning, as the Angels won for the fourth time in five games, beating the Boston Red Sox 2-1 on Monday night.

Moniak, the top pick by Philadelphia in the 2016 draft, was acquired from the Phillies at the trade deadline last year. He is batting .429 (12 for 28) with three home runs and six RBIs since being called up on May 12.

“It’s been special. I’ve always believed that it was in there, but you never know in this game,” Moniak said. “I’m just grateful to have the opportunity to be able to go out here every day, and I’m enjoying it. We’re winning baseball games and no complaints.”

Moniak drove a changeup from Kutter Crawford (1-2) over the wall in right field to lead off the eighth.

A changeup is a pitch that Moniak has had problems with in the past. He had a .229 average against the off-speed pitch from 2020-22, including a high chase rate outside the zone.

This season he is 4 of 10 when facing a changeup and has a better eye at the plate when seeing it, as his chase rate has been cut by over half.

“Where he’s at and the adjustments he has made in his swing, keeping his hands back, he got a good one to hit and he hit it out,” manager Phil Nevin said of Moniak.

Masataka Yoshida had two hits and an RBI for the Red Sox, who have dropped two straight after winning four in a row.

Angels’ right-hander Jaime Barria tossed five shutout innings in his first start in two years.

Chase Silseth (1-1) got the win, striking out two in two scoreless innings.

The Angels opened the scoring in the second. Brandon Drury drew a walk with one out, advanced to third on a base hit by Matt Thaiss and scored on Luis Rengifo’s grounder to short.

Los Angeles had the bases loaded with two outs in the inning, but failed to add any more runs when Mike Trout struck out. Trout and Shohei Ohtani each went 0 for 3 with a walk and two strikeouts.

Boston evened the score at 1-all in the sixth inning after Barria left the game. Connor Wong led off with a double off Aaron Loup and scored when Masataka Yoshida hit a chopper that bounced off the glove of Angels’ first baseman Jared Walsh for a base hit.

Yoshida’s RBI also snapped a 19-inning scoreless streak for the Red Sox.

G7 DIGITAL MINISTERS PLEDGE TO PROMOTE ' RESPONSIBLE AI '- JAPAN

G7 DIGITAL MINISTERS PLEDGE TO PROMOTE ' RESPONSIBLE AI '- JAPAN

@Jackie San

TAKASAKI, Gunma, JAPAN — The Group of Seven digital ministers adopted a joint statement Sunday that includes the promotion of “responsible AI” in light of the technology’s rapid development and its significant ongoing impact on society.

Participants in the two-day Digital and Tech Ministers’ Meeting held in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, also adopted an action plan to create environments in which artificial intelligence can be used safely, with the aim of aligning international standards for technology and risk assessment within the G7 nations and other countries.

The ministers agreed on five principles for the appropriate use of new technologies such as AI and other developing technologies: rule of law, respect for human rights, due process, democracy and utilizing opportunities for innovation.

With the rapid proliferation of generative AI such as ChatGPT, a major focus of the meeting was balancing the use of AI and regulation. The risks of privacy, copyright infringement and information leaks related to generative AI also were discussed.

G7 chair Japan was represented by Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Takeaki Matsumoto; Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura; and Minister for Digital Reform Taro Kono.

“We shared a common recognition of the need to encourage the development and deployment [of AI], while recognizing the need to establish appropriate rules,” Matsumoto told reporters after the meeting.

Underlying the five principles are deep concerns over whether regulation can keep pace with rapid technological innovation. If it does not, it could lead to the misuse of new technologies including AI and next-generation semiconductors. For example, there are fears that AI could be leveraged by authoritarian states to spy on and control their citizens.

The ministers also discussed the Data Free Flow with Trust (DFFT) concept — originally proposed by Japan — which facilitates the smooth exchange of data across borders. The G7 member countries aim to reach a final agreement to establish a new international framework to promote DFFT at a G7 meeting scheduled to take place in May.

Cross-border data distribution is expected to increase because AI improves by learning and analyzing large amounts of data. Among the goals of DFFT is the creation of a business-use database that lists data regulations for each country and region.
