| Insight: Japan's polarising PM Abe learns the long game | | Wednesday, August 20, 2014 12:11 AM | |
|  By Linda Sieg, Tetsushi Kajimoto and Yuko Yoshikawa TOKYO (Reuters) - Shinzo Abe is one of Japan's most polarizing prime ministers in decades. Whether that proves to be the case depends on whether Abe, who surged back to power 20 months ago for a second shot at Japan's top job, can temper his conservative ideology with pragmatism and keep his pledges to end two decades of economic stagnation. Abe's first term ended when, suffering ill health and facing political deadlock, he quit in 2007 after one troubled year. His focus then was on a controversial agenda that included turning the page on Japan's wartime past and easing the limits of the pacifist constitution.

| South Korea parties back, families oppose, ferry disaster probe | |  By Ju-min Park and Hyunjoo Jin SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean ruling and opposition party leaders agreed on Tuesday on legislation to investigate April's Sewol ferry disaster more deeply, but a spokesman for families of the victims said they would oppose the bill. The Sewol, overloaded and travelling too fast on a turn, capsized and sank on a routine journey on April 16, killing more than 300 people, most of them school children, prompting a backlash against the government of President Park Geun-hye over its handling of the disaster. Family members of the victims and survivors have been calling for a more transparent investigation into the sinking of the ferry and subsequent rescue operation, which was widely criticised. Tuesday's agreement had appeared to end a deadlock that had threatened to derail other legislation, but the opposition of family members could jeopardise the deal that still needs approval from legislative committees and the full parliament.
