Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio is to form his second Cabinet on Wednesday after the governing coalition led by his Liberal Democratic Party won a general election last month.

Kishida is most likely to be named prime minister by both chambers of the Diet at a special session to be convened on Wednesday afternoon.

He plans to reappoint all ministers of his first Cabinet except the foreign minister. Hayashi Yoshimasa has been tapped to take up the post.

Kishida aims to present details of his government's coronavirus measures on Friday.

He also plans to finalize new economic measures designed to help those affected by the pandemic.

The measures include a payout of roughly 900 dollars per person aged 18 years or younger.

The Cabinet is expected to convene an extraordinary session of the Diet as early as in December to submit a draft supplementary budget for the current fiscal year to finance the economic package.

Kishida also intends to have newly formed panels of experts discuss concrete ways to develop what he calls a new form of capitalism.

The foreign minister of the South Pacific country of Tuvalu has showed the world how climate change is threatening his island nation, by giving a speech standing knee-deep in seawater.

The video of Simon Kofe was released to coincide with the UN climate change conference, COP26, now underway in Britain.

Kofe is in a suit, standing at a lectern and saying, "We are preparing now for the worst-case scenario, where our lands disappear and our people must leave."

He concluded his speech by saying, "We must take bold, alternative actions today to secure tomorrow."

When the camera zooms out, viewers find that he was standing in the sea with his trousers rolled up.
The video was shot in a place that used to be dry land but has since submerged. It has gone viral on social media.

Kofe told Reuters news agency that the government hopes that the video carries the message and emphasizes the challenges the country is facing at the moment.

He also called on leaders to look beyond immediate economic needs and look at the wellbeing of the world.

The family of a Sri Lankan woman who died at an immigration facility in Japan has filed a criminal complaint against former senior immigration officials, accusing them of killing her.

Wishma Sandamali died in March at the facility in Nagoya, central Japan, at the age of 33. She had been detained there for overstaying her visa.

The Immigration Services Agency released a final report in August admitting that the facility lacked a system for providing proper medical care to detainees. But her family is not accepting the report as a sufficient explanation of events leading up to her death.

Wishma's sister Poornima and a lawyer for the family lodged the complaint with the Nagoya District Public Prosecutors Office on Tuesday.

They allege that at least seven people, including the head of the regional immigration services bureau in Nagoya at the time, continued to detain Wishma without proper medical care despite her complaining of ill health, because they did not care if she died.

Poornima told reporters that when she saw a video showing her sister in the facility, she thought it would be apparent to anyone that Wishma was killed.

Poornima said all people involved with her sister at the facility should be held accountable.

Lawyer Ibusuki Shoichi said it was clear even from a small part of the video footage that Wishma was left to die when she could have been saved.

He added that it is impossible that no one will be held criminally responsible, given what the final report says.

The regional bureau declined to comment, saying it is in no position to answer questions.
