Australia's Albanese Faces Calls to Apologize to Japan's PM Over Melon Joke

Australia's opposition coalition is calling on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to apologize to Japan's Prime Minister Takaichi over a joke about melons. Japan has sent Albanese a memo regarding the "crass" melon joke. Takaichi is expected to brush off the remark, though commentators say she should not have to. The incident comes as Japanese CEOs report less direct access to Takaichi than to previous prime ministers.
