02.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Farm Minister Yan Refused to Resign
⌨
Morning press coverage followed agriculture minister Kazuo Yan after audio emerged suggesting he cut road budgets for municipalities that did not support him in February's lower-house election. At a post-cabinet news conference he repeated he would withhold comment, then held a second briefing admitting the remarks in substance while denying he lobbied the transport ministry and rejecting calls to resign.
Attention ran in parallel to a house fire in Tsu, Mie, where four children aged 4 to 13 were reported uncontactable. Rescue reports updated through the afternoon from three bodies recovered in the ruins to four.
Elsewhere three Tohoku regional banks announced merger talks, and the Financial Services Agency moved toward a business suspension order against Prudential Life.
