Sanae Takaichi becomes Japan's first female prime minister after parliamentary vote

Sanae Takaichi has become Japan's first female prime minister. Japan's parliament has voted in the ultraconservative hardliner, after her party signed a last-minute coalition deal with another right-wing party. Takaichi replaces Shigeru Ishiba, who resigned after his coalition lost parliamentary elections in July. It's seen as a shift to the right, in a country worried about rising prices, a sluggish economy and immigration. Stephen Nagy is a Visiting Fellow at the Japan Institute of International Affairs.
