Japan's reconstruction minister is to step down after making some highly insensitive

comments.

He was recorded saying it was better the northeast of the country was hit by the 2011 earthquake

and nuclear disaster rather than Tokyo.

With more on this and other news from around the world....we turn to Ro Aram...

Aram... it's hard to understand how he could say something so... ludicrous....

Well Mark... on Tuesday, Japanese broadcaster NHK aired a video of Masahiro Imamura saying

during a Liberal Democratic Party gathering, that it was a good thing that the Magnitude

9.0 earthquake, which killed more than 18-and-a-half thousand people, hit the Tohoku region rather

than capital area.

Imamura, who oversees Tohoku's reconstruction, added that if the quake hit closer to Tokyo,

it would have caused huge financial damage.

He later retracted the remarks and apologized.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was at the same gathering, also apologized for Imamura's

comments.

The minister is expected to tender his resignation later today.
