Last update: 10 hours ago

Space: Japan is preparing to launch its MMX spacecraft on Tuesday, aiming to bring back the first samples from a moon of Mars and shed light on how the moons formed. Asian Para Games: Emperor Naruhito opened the Aichi-Nagoya Games, which run through Oct. 24 and bring together athletes from 45 Asian nations. Politics: Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s approval rating fell to 49.1%, its lowest since she took office, as voters criticized her handling of a departing farm minister. Her offering to Yasukuni Shrine also drew condemnation from China and South Korea. Security: Japan’s defense budget is set to reach a record $58 billion, with a corporate tax rise under consideration to help fund further increases. Industry: Japan approved TSMC’s plan to make advanced 3-nanometer chips in Kumamoto, with production expected by the end of 2028. Public safety: A northeastern Japan nuclear reactor shut down after a water leak, while forecasters warned of lightning, strong winds and heavy rain in eastern and western Japan through Tuesday.
