Japan's Education Minister Masahito Moriyama is under fire for his unreported ties to the Unification Church after admitting to signing a 'policy pact' with the group. The revelation has prompted calls for a renewed probe by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has described Japan's relations with Russia as 'difficult' amid the Ukraine war. The Chief Cabinet Secretary also admitted to meeting with the church group, intensifying the LDP's ongoing scandal.
