CCTV9英语新闻：Chance of passing slim before session ends in Japan（在线收听）

Intense debate on two controversial security bills continues in Japan's parliament. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has pushed the bills that would allow Japanese forces to fight abroad for the first time since World War Two. 

But the country's legislative body, much of the Japanese public, and other countrys that suffered from previous Japanese agression remain wary. Debate on the bills has become heated with Abe at one point taunting an opposition parliament member, although he later apologized for it.

A group of law experts condemning the bills as violating the country's pacifist constitution. With the lower house of the Diet still not on board, the chance of the bills passing before the legislative session ends on June 24th is slim. The bills were approved by Abe's cabinet in May before being submitted to the Diet.
