Justice will soon be served in Japan. The man who assassinated former Japan prime minister Shinzo Abe plead guilty on Tuesday. While in court on Tuesday, Tetsuya Yamagami addmitted to assassinating Abe in July of 2022. CBS News provided more details on Yamagami’s guilty plea: The gunman accused of killing Japan’s former prime minister Shinzo Abe pleaded guilty Tuesday, three years after the assassination in broad daylight shocked the world. The slaying forced a reckoning in a country with little experience of gun violence, and ignited scrutiny of alleged ties between prominent conservative lawmakers and a secretive sect, the Unification Church. “Everything is true,” Tetsuya Yamagami said at a court in the western city of Nara, admitting to the murder of the country’s longest-serving leader in July 2022. “There is no doubt that I have done all this,” Yamagami added, according to the Japan Times. The 45-year-old was led handcuffed into the room with a rope around his waist. The late Shinzo Abe was a close friend of President Trump. On Monday the new prime minister of Japan gave Abe’s prized golfing club to President Trump as a honorary gift.

Trump is spending a week in Asia. He will leave Japan for South Korea on Wednesday, and is expected to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping there on Thursday. The meeting with Trump was seen as a critical early test for Takaichi, who was elected as prime minister by Japanese lawmakers earlier this month. Both countries have long been allies, but navigating a relationship with a fickle Trump, who has in the past appeared to waver in his commitment to Japan, lies at the core of the country’s foreign policy. On Wednesday, Takaichi described Trump as a “partner in a new golden era”, and praised his role in bringing peace to the Middle East. She announced that Japan would be nominating him for the Nobel peace prize. She also presented Trump with a collection of golf-related gifts, according to Trump’s assistant Margo Martin. These included a golf bag signed by Hideki Matsuyama, the first male Japanese golfer to win a major golf championship, as well as a putter used by Abe. They also signed two caps printed with the words: Japan is back. In turn, Trump described her as a “close friend” and described the US alliance with Japan as a “beautiful friendship” that was “born out of the ashes of a terrible war”. He also announced he had approved the first delivery of long-awaited US missiles for F-35 fighter jets to Japan, which would take place this week.

Lawrence O’Donnell just went on MSNBC talking about CNN’s Scott Jennings and let’s just say it didn’t go so well. This dude seems PISSED! Not just in the moment, but just kind of in general. His face even seems contorted into the image you might find if you looked up “pissed off man” in the dictionary, I think this is what you’d see.  Just all puckered up and angry at the world. But he was really angry at CNN and Scott Jennings. For what, is not really clear. Just the general Far-Left Liberal logic of “If I don’t like you, you should never be allowed to speak” kind of logic. Watch for yourself — it starts off bad but then completely derails: WesternLensman described it as “suffering an on-air psychotic break”: MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell appears to suffer an on-air psychotic break over the fact that @ScottJenningsKY is being paid to express his opinions on CNN: “CNN eagerly pays a Trump supporter to lie every day and night for Donald Trump!” Un.

But then this cracked me up, Scott Jennings replied to him with this perfect response: No, Lawrence, I do not have time to save your show. https://t.co/IHitdjp57O — Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) October 28, 2025 Of course no article about Larry O’Donnell would be complete without this old gem.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to launch “immediate and forceful strikes” in the Gaza Strip, following what his office described as “repeated violations” of the already-fragile peace agreement with Hamas.

While on his trip to Tokyo, President Donald Trump hailed the alliance between the United States and Japan during a reception with business leaders and assured them the U.S. will not let them down.

During an interview with CNN aired on Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Story Is,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said that he sees the Democrat Party uniting and reconciling differences with New York City mayoral candidate Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D). Mamdani is an Islamist Communist.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to carry out “forceful” strikes in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, shortly after troops with the Israel Defense Forces reportedly came under fire from militants. “Following security consultations, Prime Minister Netanyahu has directed the military to immediately carry out forceful strikes in the Gaza Strip,” the prime minister’s office said. The military action would mark the first Israeli strikes in Gaza since Israel and Hamas agreed to the hostage deal and ceasefire brokered by President Donald Trump on October 9. Hamas has so far failed to hold up its side of the agreement and hand over all of the remaining deceased hostages, while violence in the Gaza Strip has continued. Israel is also moving the Yellow Line, which was agreed upon under the ceasefire deal, to expand the area of Israel’s control in the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli journalist Amit Segal. Netanyahu made the decision after a militant group fired upon IDF troops stationed in Rafah earlier on Tuesday, The Times of Israel reported. It’s unclear if the attackers were tied to Hamas or another terrorist group in Gaza. Tuesday’s reported attack came after two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed in the Rafah area last week, with the Israeli military blaming Hamas. Hamas denied that it was responsible for last week’s attack. In response to the previous attack, the Israeli military conducted strikes taking out “six kilometers of underground terrorist infrastructure,” according to the IDF, Fox News reported.

Earlier on Tuesday, the IDF accused Hamas of lying about recovering hostages’ remains and released a video showing men re-burying human remains in a different area to “stage a false ‘discovery’ for photographers.” “Despite claiming difficulty locating the bodies of deceased hostages, Hamas continues to hold and manipulate the remains it refuses to release under the agreement,” the IDF stated. The Israeli military said that the video “clearly shows that the Hamas terror organization is attempting to create a false impression of efforts to locate the bodies, while in fact holding deceased hostages whose remains it refuses to release as required by the agreement.” In response to Netanyahu’s order, Hamas said it would scrap plans to hand over the body of another hostage on Tuesday. Late last week, President Donald Trump said that Hamas would “have a very big problem” if the ceasefire didn’t hold. Trump had previously warned the terror group to end the violence in the Gaza Strip. “If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote on October 16 after Hamas publicly executed Gazans. Trump later added that U.S. forces would not be used to take out the terrorists. After the ceasefire went into effect, the Trump administration sent top officials to Israel, where it established a command center to monitor the agreement.
