Abe denies ties with school in controversial land deal

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe speaks during a session of a lower house committee in Tokyo on Feb. 24, 2017. Abe continued to deny he has any connection with a soon-to-open elementary school in western Japan amid revelations that its nationalist operator bought a piece of state-owned land at far below its appraised value. Abe has vowed to resign if he, his wife or his staff are proven to have been involved in the land deal. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
