TOKYO, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) — A large crowd of Japanese people gathered in Tokyo on Tuesday evening to protest Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's dangerous policies, including accelerating constitutional revision, expanding military capabilities and strengthening national intelligence functions, expressing concern about the country's future.

Participants in the rally held signs reading “Against the revision of the constitution” and “Don’t let fascism out of its cage,” and chanted slogans such as “No to war.”

Noriko Kashikawa, one of the protesters, told reporters that she is "100 percent opposed" to Sanae Takaichi's political agenda. She noted that Japan is being pushed toward a state of permanent military readiness, arguing that if the country is constantly pushed toward conflict, "it will ultimately lead to self-destruction."

Many young people were also seen in the crowd. A university student named Matsubara said she was concerned about the government's recent political moves, adding that "all these actions appear to be preparations for war." She expressed hope that the government would more accurately reflect public opinion.

On February 20, speaking in the Diet, Sanae Takaichi reaffirmed her firm commitment to constitutional revision. She called for a fundamental strengthening of Japan's defense capability, an expansion of lethal weapons exports, and a strengthening of national intelligence capabilities. These statements sparked widespread concern and criticism from Japanese society.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) — New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Tuesday called on the Trump administration to compensate residents of the region for tariff payments estimated at $13.5 billion.

According to estimates from the Yale Budget Lab, the average household in the state has spent an additional $1,751 since the tariffs were imposed last year. "These senseless and illegal tariffs were simply a tax on New York consumers, small businesses, and farmers, and that's why I demand a full refund," Hochul said.

Some New York farmers reported increased business expenses of up to $20,000 a year due to higher equipment and supply costs, and dairy exports from the state fell 7 percent, she said.

As noted on the official website of New York State, farmers have suffered the most from D. Trump's tariff policy, since over 80 percent of imported agrochemical products and 70 percent of imported agricultural machinery come from countries facing tariffs of 10 percent or more.

As a reminder, on Friday the US Supreme Court ruled that the massive tariffs imposed by D. Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were unconstitutional. –0–

UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) — A humanitarian aid convoy has arrived in Ain al-Arab in northern Syria to deliver food to displaced people, a United Nations humanitarian agency said on Tuesday.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that a convoy of 27 trucks carrying food, medicine and fuel arrived in Ain al-Arab (Kobane) on Monday.

"While the situation in Ain al-Arab is gradually improving, including the partial restoration of electricity, humanitarian needs remain significant," OCHA stated. "The electricity supply remains unreliable, meeting only about 40 percent of needs. Fuel shortages persist, availability is limited, and prices are rising," the agency emphasized.

According to local authorities, the top priorities are increasing access to medical supplies and electricity. Displaced families have highlighted the urgent need for mattresses, blankets, jerrycans, food, and medical care. Although markets are partially operational and food is generally available, prices remain high due to limited supplies, the humanitarian organization reports.

Many displaced families have expressed a willingness to return to their places of origin, but security concerns and reports of looting of property continue to hinder large-scale returns.

The agency also said aid arrived Monday in the Ak-Burhan camp in the northwest of the country, home to more than 1,000 families displaced from the Al-Hol camp, most of whom are Syrians and Iraqis.

According to OCHA, basic services are available in the Ak-Burkhan camp, including regular electricity and water supplies. Upon arrival, families received ready-to-eat rations, hot meals, and bread provided by humanitarian partners. Hygiene kits were also distributed.

The Office reported that since the beginning of January, humanitarian organizations have provided assistance to almost 190,000 people in Aleppo province and northeastern provinces, sending 29 convoys with more than 300 trucks of humanitarian aid. –0–
