29/08/24 - Morning Shot: Who will be Japan's next Prime Minister?The race for the coveted title of Japan’s next Prime Minister is on.
Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is finalising its plans to hold the party's leadership election on 27th September. This comes after Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced that he will not re-contest for a second term as leader of the incumbent Liberal Democratic Party, after his tenure ends in September.
The upcoming election, the first since 2021 when Kishida was elected party's leader, is expected to see several lawmakers vie for the post to succeed Kishida, with the winner to be anointed prime minister given the ruling coalition controls both houses of parliament.
On this episode of Morning Shot, Professor Tomohiko Taniguchi, Special Advisor to former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Cabinet and Specially Appointed Professor at the University of Tsukuba weighs in.

28/08/24 - Morning Shot: Meet one of the first African scientists to sound the alert on Mpox spreadA new strain of the mpox virus, known as clade Ib, has the world's attention again.
Faced once again with a rapidly spreading mpox epidemic, the World Health Organisation had declared an international health emergency, following a surge in cases linked to a new mpox strain in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has since spread beyond its borders.
Scientists studying the new mpox strain say the virus is changing faster than expected, and often in areas where experts lack the funding and equipment to properly track it. Questions about vaccine effectiveness and equity remain, with concerns over WHO’s regulations and when the afflicted regions can get their hands on the vaccines.
On this episode of Morning Shot, Professor Dimie Ogoina, Chair, WHO Emergency Committee regarding the upsurge of mpox 2024, and Chief Medical Director & Infectious Disease Physician at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital shares his first-hand insights on the mpox epidemic.
