5:35Now PlayingCurrently members of the Japanese Diet (Parliament) are debating legislation that would allow the military in the country to take a more active role through the world.

In footage shot by Agence France Presse, members of Japan’s opposition and ruling coalition are seen tussling over the bill papers and pushing and shoving each other around the committee chairman’s desk.
The row was over a proposed security bill that would see Japanese soldiers deployed overseas for the first time since the end of the Second World War.”
