Support for Japan’s PM Suga slides as COVID cases rise in Tokyo Games

Published

on

As Olympics events such as the swimming get underway, support for Japan’s Prime Minister is taking a dive

Voter support for Mr. Suga slid nine points to 34 percent, its lowest since he took office last September.

Continuing the bad news nearly two-thirds of respondents say the country’s roll-out of coronavirus vaccinations is not going well.

The rollout has been hampered by a slow start and supplies snarls, resulting in less than a quarter so far receiving a full vaccination.

Suga’s ambition had been to contain the virus outbreak, preside over a successful Games and call a general election

That was thrown into doubt after a surge in COVID-19 infections which led to the fourth state of emergency in Tokyo and forced Olympic organisers to ban spectators from almost all venues.

Tokyo reported 1,429 new COVID-19 cases on Monday, almost double the number on the same day a week earlier.

Preliminary Air India crash report to focus on fuel switches after deadly June incident; 241 fatalities reported.

In Short:
A report on the June Air India jetliner crash, which killed 241 on board and 29 on the ground, is imminent, focusing on fuel control switches and multiple contributing factors. The investigation is led by India’s authority, facing scrutiny over information access, while the government plans to enhance civil aviation safety and improve Air India’s reputation.

A preliminary report on the Air India jetliner crash in June is expected soon. The crash resulted in 241 deaths out of the 242 on board, in addition to at least 29 fatalities on the ground.

Investigators are focusing on the plane’s fuel control switches following an analysis of flight data recorders. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner lost altitude shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad, India. Family members continue to mourn victims, highlighting the tragedy’s impact.

Investigations have found no immediate concerns regarding mechanical failure, and airlines have not been advised to change 787 operations. The focus on fuel switches relates to their role in engine power.

Specific actions

However, details about specific actions being investigated remain unclear.

Experts indicate fuel switches cannot be moved accidently, and any shutdown would instantly affect engine power. Reports suggest that multiple factors likely contributed to the crash. The Indian investigation authority, under international rules, leads the probe but has faced scrutiny over information accessibility, taking weeks to retrieve flight data.

The Indian government has only held one press conference regarding the incident. Recently, U.N.’s International Civil Aviation Organization was granted observer status in the investigation. The event poses challenges for the Tata Group in revamping Air India’s reputation.
