Key words : tokyo stock due to system

The Tokyo Stock Exchange says it's suspended all trading due to system trouble. It says the source of the issue is not immediately clear.
The exchange was supposed to open at 9 a.m. Japan time on Thursday. About 3,700 companies are listed on the TSE.
The outage is having a major impact on businesses and individual investors.
Stock exchanges in Nagoya, Fukuoka and Sapporo have also suspended all activity. This is because they also use the TSE system to execute trades. There is no timeline for when they will reopen. But the exchange in Osaka is currently trading.
This is the first time the TSE has suspended all trading since January of 2006. That outage was due to a surge in trading that exceeded the system's processing capacity.
The system was developed by Japanese tech giant Fujitsu. The company says it is currently looking into the problem.
Japan's Financial Services Agency says it's investigating the situation.

A closely watched survey on business sentiment shows an improvement among Japan's large manufacturers. The index in the Tankan report was up ... still in negative territory.
The latest quarterly report came out Thursday. It shows that confidence at major manufacturers rose to minus 27.
The Bank of Japan's survey covers about 10,000 businesses ... and gauges how executives feel about the economy.
The previous report in June showed that the mood among the manufacturers plunged to minus 34, while the coronavirus pandemic battered the economy.
That result was the lowest since 2009, soon after the start of the global financial crisis.
But the improvement in the most recent quarter came as economic activity in Japan gradually got back on track.
Key words : easing tourist

Japan is easing entry restrictions on Thursday for foreigners from around the world, excluding tourists.
The Japanese government had denied entry of people from 159 countries and regions in principle due to the coronavirus pandemic. It has already resumed businesspeople's travel to and from Vietnam, Taiwan and some other places where infection is under control.
Since restrictions are being eased globally, foreigners who are qualified for mid- and long-term stays, such as medical and educational professionals and students, as well as businesspeople, may be admitted to Japan.
But they are allowed to enter only if their sponsors, such as companies or organizations that employ them, ensure their quarantine for two weeks upon arrival in Japan.
The number of people who will be granted entry will also be limited. The government plans to gradually raise the cap while expanding the virus-testing system at airports.
The government plans to hold talks with other nations while monitoring their infection situations so that more countries will allow people from Japan to enter them.

A survey by a medical research center in Japan shows the fatality rate of people infected with the coronavirus is higher among those with chronic kidney or heart diseases.
The National Center for Global Health and Medicine published the result of its survey on 6,070 coronavirus patients who had been hospitalized at 345 facilities nationwide by early September.
The survey shows the fatality rate of patients who were in serious condition and required oxygen inhalers or ventilators when they were admitted to hospital was 10.1 percent in June and afterward.
The figure was significantly lower in all age groups than at the time of the first wave of infections, which was 19.4 percent.
The center says the drop in the rate is apparently due to such factors as patients getting treatment sooner and the establishment of treatment methods.
The center points out that the average number of days from the onset of symptoms to hospital admission was 5.1 days in June and later, which was 2.5 days shorter than during the first wave of infections.
The center says the number of patients in serious condition at time of admission to hospital also declined to less than one-fifth.
About factors that could lead to death, the center says the fatality rates for patients who were in serious condition when they were admitted to hospital were 44 percent for those with kidney malfunction, 40.5 percent for those with chronic heart disease, and 39.5 percent for people with cerebrovascular disorder.
On the other hand, people with obesity and hyperlipemia were more likely to become seriously ill than people with no pre-existing conditions, but their mortality rate was lower than for people with other chronic diseases.
A doctor who was engaged in the survey says it is possible to reduce the death rates for patients who have a higher risk of becoming seriously ill.
The center plans to conduct more analyses on lifestyle and other factors that could cause severe conditions or death.

Police in Hong Kong are on high alert for possible protests there on Thursday, the 71st anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Pro-democracy groups in Hong Kong were planning annual demonstrations on Thursday, but police have banned them, citing the need to counter the coronavirus.
But on social media, people are calling for rallies. Some people are expected to take to the streets though the authorities have stepped up their crackdowns since a national security law that Beijing imposed on Hong Kong took effect in late June.
Hong Kong police say they are setting up barricades around the venue of a celebration event organized by the government and mobilizing some 6,000 officers.
Beijing's office in Hong Kong said in a statement that the government will never allow anyone to cause disruption in the territory. The statement calls the national security law a "sword."
In addition to many people's opposition to the law, criticism is also mounting over the authorities' handling of 12 Hong Kong activists who have been detained on suspicion of trying to smuggle themselves to Taiwan.
Critics say the Hong Kong activists have been denied access to lawyers of their relatives' choice.

Protests have erupted in several parts of India after the gang rape and death of a 19-year-old woman.
Police say the victim from the Dalit community -- the lowest rung of India's ancient caste system -- was attacked in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on September 14. She died in a New Delhi hospital on Tuesday. Police have arrested four men in connection with the rape.
Dalits are often victims of sexual assaults. The Associated Press says a 13-year-old Dalit girl was raped and killed in Uttar Pradesh in August.
Sexual violence has been highlighted in India since the 2012 gang rape of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi bus. She was thrown out of the vehicle and died two weeks later in a hospital in Singapore.
The attack led to tougher penalties for those convicted of sexual crime.
But the problem still lingers. Government data say about 34,000 cases of sexual assaults were reported in 2018, which means a woman was attacked every 15 minutes.
Key words : atomic nuclear material

The United Nations' nuclear watchdog says its inspectors visited a second site in Iran based on a recent agreement.
The two sides agreed in late August that Iran would provide the International Atomic Energy Agency with access to two locations where Tehran is suspected of storing undeclared nuclear material. That was a reverse of the country's past stance of rejecting inspections.
The IAEA had already announced an inspection of one location. The agency said on Wednesday that inspectors visited the other site this week and collected samples.
The samples will be analyzed at laboratories to determine whether they contain nuclear substances. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi suggested that the process will take several months.
Iran has demonstrated its willingness to cooperate with the IAEA -- a move praised by many countries. But the United States, which takes a confrontational stance toward Iran, has said, "These accesses are only the first step in addressing the Agency's safeguards concerns in Iran."
Key words : Kuwait sworn
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20201001_01/
Kuwait's new emir has been sworn in as the oil-rich country prepares to lay to rest late ruler Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who died on Tuesday at the age of 91.
The late ruler's body arrived in Kuwait on Wednesday from the United States, where he had been hospitalized.
Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, a half-brother of Sheikh Sabah, was sworn in at parliament on Wednesday. He is 83.
Sheikh Nawaf expressed his intention to rebuild the country's economy, which is under strain from low oil prices and the coronavirus.
He said Kuwait today faces difficult situations and dangerous challenges that can only be overcome "by unifying ranks and working hard together."
The new emir worked for Kuwait's reconstruction as a social affairs and labor minister after the Gulf War in 1991. He became crown prince in 2006.
Late ruler Sheikh Sabah made strenuous efforts to stabilize the Gulf region, playing the role of mediator.
Attention is focused on whether the new emir can make his presence felt in the region, where tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran are running high.
Key words : group of private
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200930_27/
A group of private companies has cooperated with Japanese police to develop a system using AI technology to simulate what wanted fugitives would look like today. Police hope this will elicit more information on such fugitives from the public.
The National Police Agency uses posters and its website to show the photos of about 630 suspects on the nationwide wanted list. Some of them have been on the run for more than 10 years, and look different from their old photos.
The companies, including Yahoo Japan, cooperated with the agency on the project.
They used more than 20,000 facial photo data to estimate how the suspects' faces would look now in terms of wrinkles and other features.
The images are presented in multiple patterns, according to differences in hair and weight.
People can provide information to the police through a form on the website showing the updated images.
Shigematsu Hironori of the agency's Criminal Affairs Bureau says he hopes to receive as much information on the fugitives as possible.
