		</div><p>The kidnappers of a Japanese journalist who is missing in Syria have made a ransom demand for him, it has been reported.</p>
<p>The France-based group Reporters Without Borders said it had learned that those holding freelance Jumpei Yasuda have started a countdown for a ransom payment, and are threatening to kill him or sell him to another militant group.</p>
<p>The Japanese government declined to comment on the reported ransom demand.</p>
<p>Chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters at his daily morning briefing that Japan is doing its utmost to deal with the situation, but he would not confirm any details.</p>
<p>Reporters Without Borders is calling on the Japanese government to do everything possible to obtain his release.</p>
<p>Another freelance journalist, Kenji Goto, was among two Japanese killed in Syria by the Islamic State group in January in a hostage crisis that gripped Japan for more than a week.</p>
<p>Mr Yasuda went to Syria in part to report on Mr Goto, who was his friend, according to Reporters Without Borders.</p>
