Its good to have you with us japan today is marking a solemn anniversary 74 years since the end of the 2nd world war. It announced its around. Noon people across the country observed a minute of silence led by newly crowned. The anniversary is a time of reflection for japan which lost roughly 3100000 people to the wall now he is japans 1st emperor born after the wall he expressed his countrys remorse what its water actions. We hear by reflect on our past that happened since all and with feelings of deep remorse we sincerely hope that the misery of the war should never be repeated then. I sincerely express our condolences. To those who perished in the war well how could you know you still know what they want you know he must. A number of those who perished what informal japanese colonies such as south korea hero of the days mocked as liberation day as it ended 35 years of brutal japanese colonial rule but the shadows of that time remain especially the abuse of south korean women forced into brothels for Imperial Japanese army troops sex slaves known by the euphemism comfort women south koreas demanding japan apologize for this dog episode in its wartime past japan says it did so in 2015 but in south korea it is still an emotive issue and it only at around 20 socalled comfort women left alive in the country time for consideration is foster running out. They say is for the victims. Like lee young. Looking for just a girl when she was forced to work as a sex slave in Japanese Military brothels. They saw more unveiling said in many parts of an emotional day of commemoration im protest leader like many koreans once japan to feast up to its past so in the news that there is none i mean the more i will never give in to the demise from japan. Ive been the month so i will fight until i get an apology and. It is not the money i want to side of i guess its an apology. Elsewhere in seoul thousands to the issue to the door of the japanese embassy. To compensate investigate punish they chant the anger here reflects renewed hostilities between the 2 nations japan recently imposed trade barriers in a dispute over compensation awarded to forced wartime laborers only hardening their resolve. Weve been asking japan for an apology for a long time but theyre still not owning up to the past and instead of apologizing to the victims of forced labor theyre instead retaliate. Engaging in economic retaliation which makes me really angry. With distrust and animosity running so deep laying to rest the legacy of colonize ation may take many years yet.
