The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will soon sign a new agreement to deepen security ties, including a UK commitment to deploy an aircraft carrier strike group to the Indo-Pacific in 2025.
The so-called “Hiroshima Accord” will also cover trade and investment, collaboration on science and technology and joint initiatives to tackle global issues such as climate change.
Under the agreement, the United Kingdom will deploy its Carrier Strike Group to the Indo-Pacific in 2025… and will also double its troop numbers in upcoming joint military exercises.
He will also visit a naval base and confirm new UK-Japan defence cooperation, including a new cyber partnership.
The summit comes as the former UK prime minister Liz Truss attempted to intervene in foreign policy by visiting Taiwan on Wednesday, where she called on Sunak to declare Beijing a threat to national security.
The trip had drawn condemnation as a “dangerous political stunt” by the Chinese embassy in London.
Rishi Sunak insisted that people are more bothered about journey times “between northern towns and cities” in response to questioning on whether he would commit to HS2. Report by Covellm. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn

Japan Says First Release , of Treated Radioactive Water , From Fukushima Complete.
On September 11, the operator of the Fukushima
nuclear power plant said that it had completed the first
release of treated radioactive water into the ocean.
'The Independent' reports that the company said
it would inspect and clean the facility before
beginning the next release in the coming weeks.
On August 24, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
plant first began discharging treated and
diluted wastewater into the Pacific Ocean.
The radioactive water has been accumulating
since 2011 when the plant was damaged
by a massive earthquake and tsunami. .
'The Independent' reports that the first
release comes as a milestone in the
decommissioning of the wrecked power plant.

However, the decades-long process of releasing the
radioactive water has met with strong opposition
by neighboring countries and fishing groups.
In response to the discharge,
China has imposed a ban on all
imports of Japanese seafood. .
The decision, which has impacted both
producers and exporters, prompted Japan
to open an emergency relief fund.
While speaking at a G20 summit last week, Prime Minister
Fumio Kishida stressed the safety and transparency of
the process in an attempt to win international support.

New Report Highlights , Japan's Population Concerns.
Fox News reports that nearly a third of
18-year-old women in Japan may never
have children, according to new data.
According to the National Institute of Population
and Social Security Research (IPSS), 33.4%
of women born in 2005 will remain childless. .
The August 30 report's most optimistic scenario
saw 24.6% of women that age not having
children. The worst outcome was as high as 46%.
In June, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida vowed to
deal with the population crisis with measures that include
larger payouts for families with three or more children. .
In June, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida vowed to

larger payouts for families with three or more children. .
According to a Kyodo News poll, approximately
two-thirds of people in Japan do not feel hopeful
that the government's policies will be effective.
The survey reportedly shows that
the number of children in Japan has
been declining for over forty years. .
Fox News reports that the IPSS based
its report on factors like age of marriage
when estimating future fertility rates. .
According to Miho Iwasawa, the IPSS's director of
population dynamics research, the decline in births can
be attributed to people getting married later in life.
The cost of raising children is also a factor. Between 1975 and 2021, data shows that tuition
at private universities in Japan increased five-fold.
According to the IPSS, Japan's current
population of 126.15 million is projected
to drop to 87 million by the year 2070

Japan is to begin releasing wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant from Thursday, in defiance of opposition from fishing communities, China and some scientists. Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, has said that disposing of more than 1m tonnes of water being stored at the site is an essential part of the long and complex process to decommission the plant. He also said that said authorities would go forward with the release on August 24 "if they encounter no obstacles." The decision was made after the government held a cabinet meeting to discuss the issue. But the plan, announced by Kishida on Tuesday, has caused controversy because the water contains tritium, a radioactive substance that can’t be removed by the facility’s water filtration technology.

US President Joe Biden sealed new security cooperation with Japan and South Korea as he hosted the leaders of the Asian countries in three-way talks at Camp David. Biden also praised the "political courage" of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in turning the page on their historical animosity. Japan and South Korea have had strained relations dating back to Japan's 1910-1945 occupation of Korea. After the summit, the White House statement read, "We do so at a time of unparalleled opportunity for our countries and our citizens, and at a hinge point of history, when geopolitical competition, the climate crisis, Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, and nuclear provocations test us.”

This Day in History:, Penicillin Is Discovered .
September 28, 1928.
Penicillin was discovered by Scottish
bacteriologist Sir Alexander Fleming. .
Returning to St. Mary's Hospital in London after a
vacation, Fleming noticed that a mold had contaminated
Petri dishes of a common infectious bacteria.
Fleming was stunned to
realize that the Penicillium
notatum mold was preventing
the growth of the bacteria.
Fleming concluded that the Penicillium "mold juice"
could be manipulated to fight infectious diseases.
I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic, or bacteria killer.
But I guess that was exactly what I did, Sir Alexander Fleming, via
'PBS News Hour'.
After 14 years of trial and error, penicillin was
perfected through the collaboration of Sir Fleming,

Japan has joined India, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan to lodge protests against China over its new "standard map" for including the disputed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea as part of its territory. Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said yesterday that Japan has lodged a strong protest to China through diplomatic channels over a new map released by Beijing last month. Japan "responds in a calm and resolute way, based on its policy to stand firm in protecting people's lives and properties, as well as the country's land, seas and airspace," he said. Tokyo has urged Beijing to rescind the map because it has a description based on China's unilateral claims on the Senkaku Islands in southern Japan's Okinawa Prefecture. The new map describes the Senkakus as the Diaoyu Islands, the Chinese name for the islands.

The strikes in Karnataka have agitated industry leaders. They have reportedly criticised the two bandhs that were called this week over the Cauvery water dispute, one on Tuesday and one on Friday. Industry leaders reportedly claimed that strikes are not the solution and only cause significant economic losses for the state and inconvenience for the general public. According to reports, the losses estimated by the industry bodies for the two-day bandh amount to ₹4,000 crore. The staggering loss is a warning pointing out that the move may Cripple the economy, which has very recently recovered from the pandemic.
