Sanae Takaichi Elected To Be Japan's First Female Prime Minister

Republic World on Youtube has the story.

Sanae Takaichi has made history by becoming Japan’s first female prime minister in 2025, rising from a non-political family to lead the country’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Takaichi, a television anchor and former heavy metal musician, is well-known for her nationalist ideals and strong conservative beliefs. Often referred to as Japan's "Iron Lady," she is influenced by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Her leadership comes at a time when Japan faces economic challenges, an aging population, and complex geopolitical tensions.

Takaichi has opposed same-sex marriage and advocates strict immigration policies, sparking debate at home and abroad. Although she has been criticized for her conservative social views, she has promised to increase the number of women in her cabinet, which could indicate a change in Japan's political environment. As the first woman to hold this powerful position, her leadership is expected to influence Japan’s social reforms with a mix of tradition and gradual change.

A flight attendant awarded for her heroism after the Delta Air Lines crash in Toronto earlier this year is now suing the company, alleging it "cut corners on safety" and knowingly put passengers at risk, CBC News has learned. 

In a 15-page complaint filed in U.S. federal court in Michigan this week, Vanessa Miles says she was badly injured in the incident and is seeking "at least" $75 million US in damages. 

The lawsuit claims Delta and its subsidiary, Endeavor Air, are liable for negligence after assigning an "inexperienced" pilot and failing to properly train the flight crew.
