🇯🇵 Japan's opposition submits draft resolution of no confidence in cabinet
The opposition cited rising prices, scandals related to the government's active implementation of a personal number system, which stipulates gathering information on health care and taxation, and a law passed by the ruling coalition in the morning to secure funding for increased military spending as reasons for the resolution.
If the resolution passes within ten days, the government must either resign or the prime minister must announce the dissolution of parliament and call new elections. However, such a course of events is ruled out as the ruling coalition has a majority in the lower house, and the resolution is guaranteed not to be passed, Japanese media reported.

Moscow will return to investigating Nord Stream sabotage after UN halt
Russia’s senior diplomat to UN Dmitriy Polyansky said that the topic "predictably remains uncomfortable for Westerners," and they are clearly nervous about answering Russia's questions.
💬 "Apparently, understanding of our position is growing, which already obscenely isolates Westerners in the eyes of most UN members," he added.
Western representatives at the UN Security Council are urging Denmark, Germany and Sweden not to rush their national investigations, the official said, adding that the US and their allies have yet to provide convincing evidence and facts of their non-involvement in the sabotage.
