The South Korean government is apologizing and intensifying its opposition to Ukrainian President Zelenskiy's announcement that he has transferred two captured North Korean soldiers to South Korea, calling it a violation of a prior nondisclosure agreement.

It has been revealed that the government is considering creating a new minister in charge of income-linked benefits, which it aims to introduce in conjunction with the food consumption tax cut, in order to facilitate administrative work across multiple ministries and agencies. Coordination is underway to submit the bill to the extraordinary Diet session to be convened in October.

Former Yokohama City Mayor Takeharu Yamanaka, who resigned due to power harassment issues with senior staff, informed his supporters at a supporter's association meeting of his intention to re-enter the mayor's race. The official announcement is scheduled to be made at a press conference on the 29th.

The number of women appointed in cabinet reshuffles and LDP executive appointments was limited, the number of three political office positions was reduced, and all four party positions were held by men, which went against the ``Nordic-like'' policy. It is far removed from the government's gender equality goals.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi aims to pass a bill to lower the consumption tax rate on food products to 1% for two years at the extraordinary Diet session to be convened on October 5th, but Democratic Party of Japan representative Yuichiro Tamaki has presented a counterproposal centered on raising the amount of resident tax deduction, deepening the conflict over the direction of the policy. The ruling party has a majority in the House of Representatives but only a majority in the House of Councilors, so cooperation from opposition parties is needed, but there is little room for compromise.

Former Yokohama Mayor Takeharu Yamanaka, who resigned due to power harassment issues, has confirmed his intention to run again in the mayoral election to be counted on October 18th. Five newcomers have already announced their candidacy, and a crowded field is expected.
