Japan's ruling party elects Shigeru Ishiba as new prime minister
Briefly

"While he does not question the importance of Japan's security alliance with the United States, Ishiba has said Tokyo needs to play a greater role in the alliance and have a larger say in how American troops are deployed in Japan."
"Ishiba, 67, on Friday clinched the leadership of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party - on his fifth attempt - and will therefore become the new prime minister."
