Oct. 4, 2025, 2:01 AM EDT / Updated Oct. 4, 2025, 2:06 AM EDTBy Arata Yamamoto and Jennifer JettTOKYO — Japan’s governing party elected Sanae Takaichi as its new leader on Saturday, setting her up to become the U.S. ally’s first female prime minister.Takaichi defeated Shinjiro Koizumi 185 to 156 in a second-round runoff vote to become leader of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has governed Japan almost uninterrupted since the end of World War II.The leadership race was triggered last month when Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said he would step down after a year in office. Though Takaichi is likely to succeed him as prime minister of Japan, the world’s fourth-largest economy, when parliament votes later this month, it is not guaranteed since the LDP-led coalition lost its majority in both houses in the past year. Takaichi, 64, a conservative nationalist who lists former British leader Margaret Thatcher as one of her role models, was an ally of assassinated former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japan’s longest-serving leader.But there are concerns that Takaichi’s nationalistic historical views could cause friction with China, Japan’s top trading partner.Koizumi, 44, the son of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, would have been Japan’s youngest leader since Hirobumi Ito, who was just a few months younger than Koizumi when he became the country’s first prime minister in 1885.The party voted on five candidates in the first round, with Takaichi securing 183 votes to Koizumi’s 164. Yoshimasa Hayashi, 64, the top spokesperson for the current Japanese government, came third with 134 votes after a recent surge in polls.Votes in the first round were divided evenly between 294 LDP lawmakers and almost 1 million rank-and-file party members who were represented by 295 votes. Lawmakers favored the more moderate Koizumi, while party members preferred Takaichi, who has a passionate hard-line base. In the second round, lawmakers had the same number of votes while rank-and-file party members had 47, representing the 47 prefectures of Japan.Lawmakers in the second round voted 149 to 145 in favor of Takaichi, while party members gave her 36 votes compared with Koizumi’s 11.Arata Yamamoto reported from Tokyo, and Jennifer Jett from Hong Kong.Arata YamamotoArata Yamamoto has been an NBC News producer in Tokyo since 1993.Jennifer JettJennifer Jett is the Asia Digital Editor for NBC News, based in Hong Kong.

Nov. 26, 2025, 5:00 AM ESTBy Evan Bush and Melinda YaoGrocery stores are eating turkey costs this Thanksgiving.A surge in bird flu cases has spiked wholesale turkey prices for groceries and retailers, data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows. But those price shocks aren’t being passed to shoppers, as USDA data shows advertised turkey prices holding steady compared with last year.Experts say grocery stores are stomaching the increased costs in an effort to bring customers in, though turkey dinner price projections show meal prices have held steady, as well.The increased costs can be traced to lower supply, with bird flu one of the culprits. Bird flu cases spiked among commercial poultry farms in the fall. As of October, more than 2 million turkeys have been culled this year because of exposure to flu. Minnesota, the country’s top turkey producer, experienced six confirmed turkey-related outbreaks in October, according to the USDA.David Ortega, a food economist and professor at Michigan State University, added that a second virus, avian metapneumovirus, is reducing the number of viable eggs that hens are producing, which makes it difficult for turkey farmers to rebuild their flocks.The result: Turkey supply is tightening. The USDA projected turkey production to fall to 4.8 million pounds for the year, a drop from 5.1 million pounds in 2024.The tight supply has led to higher prices for stores. Data from the USDA shows that the wholesale price of frozen birds, which are most commonly used in Thanksgiving dinners, increased 80% from November 2024 to November 2025, from less than $1 per pound to more than $1.70. A separate USDA report shows retail prices for conventional frozen turkeys staying steady year over year. Ortega said retailers may be eating the price hikes to keep shoppers from fleeing.“Retailers use turkeys as a loss leader,” Ortega said. “It’s a pricing strategy, where they put the product and price it at or sometimes even below cost in an effort to draw customers into the store. They make up for that with other items in the basket consumers buy.”Turkeys aren’t the only food on the holiday dinner table, and projections for the overall meal are mixed, with some data sources showing costs are up as much as 9.8%, while others show prices decreasing up to 5%.Food prices have been in the headlines in recent weeks. President Donald Trump claimed this month that the cost of Thanksgiving has decreased this year, pointing to Walmart’s Thanksgiving bundle at less than $40. However, the 2025 package contained six fewer items than last year’s. Ortega said it’s clear food costs are “top of mind” for consumers. “Retailers know budgets are tight, so they’re competing to draw customers,” he said.Evan BushEvan Bush is a science reporter for NBC News.
