Tomoko and Ken are attending a news discussion class in English. Today’s topic is the “Attempted Attack on Prime Minister Kishida” that occurred in April.

Tomoko asked Ken for his opinion on this topic, and he shared his view on the matter. Now, listen to their conversation and answer the questions about the content.

Tomoko: Ken, what are your thoughts on the security officer’s decision to kick the explosive device toward the audience in the incident involving Prime Minister Kishida? Do you think it was the right decision under the circumstances?

Ken: Well, in my opinion, the security officer’s decision to kick the explosive device toward the audience was a necessary action under the circumstances.

The reason for this is that the primary responsibility of security personnel is to ensure the safety of the VIP they are protecting. In this case, the officer had to make a split-second decision, and his priority was to protect Prime Minister Kishida.

For example, if the explosive device had been more powerful and caused harm to the prime minister, it would have had a significant impact on Japan’s political landscape and national stability. In such high-pressure situations, security officers must act quickly and decisively to prevent potential disasters.

In conclusion, I believe that the security officer’s decision was the right one, considering the extreme circumstances and the importance of protecting the prime minister.
