Hello, and welcome to NHK news

0:12

line. I'm Koko Kedagawa in Tokyo.

0:14

South Korea's military says a Sunday's

0:17

missile launched by North Korea have

0:19

been provoked by joint drills at plans

0:21

to hold with the US. South

0:24

Korea's military officials announced that North

0:26

Korea launched a short range ballistic

0:28

missile toward the sea of Japan at

0:30

around six fifty three AM, Sunday.

0:33

The official say the missile was fired from

0:35

near the touch on area of North Killean

0:38

province in the country's northwest. They

0:40

see the missile traveled about six hundred

0:43

kilometers, reaching an altitude of

0:45

about sixty kilometers. and a maximum

0:47

speed of about mark five. Japanese

0:50

defense minister Hamadayas Qaza

0:52

says it can be presumed that the missile

0:55

landed outside Japan's exclusive

0:57

economic zone. Hamada also

0:59

says the missile could have been model capable

1:01

of following irregular flight paths.

1:04

He says there have been no reports so far

1:06

of damage to Japanese ships or

1:09

aircraft.

1:10

We strongly condemn the launch

1:13

It violates security council resolutions.

1:17

North Korea fired a total of

1:19

eight ballistic missiles in June

1:21

alone. Sunday's launch was

1:23

the nineteenth this year. South

1:26

Korea's presidential office has expressed

1:28

concerns as it was first since

1:30

Pyongyang adopted a nuclear policy

1:33

early this month. The law outlines

1:35

conditions under which the country would

1:37

launch a nuclear strike and

1:39

training the right to use nuclear weapons.

1:42

And North Korea has been on edge of a

1:44

US, South Korea joint drills Chedraulic

1:47

plays soon around the sea of Japan.

1:49

The US nuclear powered aircraft carrier

1:51

Ronald Reagan, docked in the southeastern

1:54

city of Pousan on Friday head of

1:56

the drills.

1:58

South Korean and US

1:59

military forces have been on high

2:02

alert as their sides of Pyongyang

2:04

may be preparing to launch a ballistic missile

2:06

from a submarine.

2:08

More news on North Korea,

2:11

a US think tank report significant

2:13

and expansion work is underway

2:15

at a satellite launching station there.

2:17

It's as Peonya wants to be able

2:19

to fire larger and more capable

2:21

rockets from the site.

2:24

The Center for Strategic and

2:26

International Studies released satellite

2:29

photos of the Soya satellite launching

2:31

station on Thursday. Their facility

2:33

is located in Tom Chandee in the

2:35

nation's northwest. The pictures

2:37

were taken on September sixth. The

2:40

center says the images show the aim of

2:42

the work is to expand fuel capacity

2:45

at the launch pad. I think

2:47

done into case, it is unlikely a

2:49

new start date will be launched in the immediate

2:51

future. It cites the ongoing construction

2:54

work as a reason. The

2:56

ruling party newspaper Rodong

2:58

shipment has reported leader

3:00

Kim Jong un inspected the station

3:02

in March. He ordered workers

3:04

to refurbish and expand the facility

3:07

to accommodate launches of larger

3:09

carrier rockets with military reconnaissance

3:11

satellites.

3:13

There's a new wave of protests

3:15

across Russia against the mobilization

3:18

of civilians into the military.

3:22

President Vladimir Putin announced

3:24

what he calls a partial mobilization last

3:26

Wednesday as Ukrainian forces

3:29

continued counterattacks in the east

3:31

and south of Ukraine. Independent

3:34

Russian media outlets report that

3:36

the plan could mobilize one million

3:38

people, including the elderly and

3:40

students. Protest were

3:42

staged in mosque go, Saint Petersburg and

3:45

other areas on Saturday. A

3:47

Russian Human Rights Group says more than

3:49

seven hundred and forty individuals have

3:51

been arrested in at least thirty

3:53

two cities. The group says some

3:55

of those detained were handed their call

3:57

up papers.

3:58

Kremlins

3:59

spokesperson Dmitry Pascal says

4:02

drafting a detained person is totally

4:04

legal. Pertina

4:06

strengthened punishment for deserters and

4:09

dropped including prison terms

4:11

of up to fifteen years. India's

4:15

foreign minister has told the UN general

4:17

assembly that his country maintains

4:19

its neutral stance on the Ukraine

4:21

conflict now they're supporting or

4:23

opposing Russia.

4:25

India is on the side of peace and

4:28

will remain firmly there. We

4:30

are on the side that respects the

4:32

UN charter and is founding principles.

4:36

We are on the side that calls

4:38

for dialogue and diplomacy as

4:40

the only way out.

4:42

India has a long and strong

4:45

relationship with Russia as especially

4:47

in military and economic fields.

4:49

At the UN, India has repeatedly

4:51

abstained from voting on resolutions

4:54

demanding the immediate withdrawal of Russian

4:56

forces from Ukraine. But

4:58

earlier this month, Indian prime minister

5:01

Narendra Modi told some president

5:03

Vladimir Putin that this is not

5:05

the era of war. At

5:07

the UN, the foreign ministers said there

5:09

are increasing calls to reform the security

5:12

council saying it's behind the

5:14

times and deeply unfair. He

5:16

said that India is ready to take in take

5:18

on greater responsibilities, indicating

5:21

the country may want the permanent member

5:23

seat on the council.

5:25

Tensions are on the rise

5:28

between Beijing and Washington, China's

5:30

foreign minister has underscored the

5:32

country's determination for reunification

5:35

with Taiwan.

5:36

any attempt to interfere

5:39

in China's internal affairs is

5:41

bound to meet the strong opposition of all

5:43

China any

5:45

action to obstruct China's reunification is

5:48

bound to be crushed by the wheels of history.

5:50

Wang Yi made the remarks on

5:53

Saturday before the general assembly One

5:55

also said China is firmly

5:57

determined to crush any secessionist

5:59

attempts and would take the most forceful

6:02

steps to oppose external interference.

6:05

As a meeting with one on Friday, US

6:08

Secretary of State Anthony Lincoln expressed

6:10

Washington's opposition to what

6:12

it's sold as China's unilateral attempts

6:15

to change the status quo across the

6:17

Taiwan Strait.

6:18

Tensions over Taiwan soared

6:21

after US house speaker, Nancy

6:23

Pelosi, visited the island in

6:25

August that was followed by large

6:27

scale Chinese military drills around

6:29

Taiwan.

6:30

Speaking about Russia's

6:32

invasion of Ukraine, Wang stressed

6:34

the need to set up what he called an effective

6:37

well balanced and sustainable framework

6:39

defined a fundamental resolution

6:41

of the crisis by considering the

6:43

reasonable security concerns

6:45

of both sides.

7:08

about carrying

7:11

migrants from Lebanon capsized

7:13

off Syria, local media says

7:15

eighty nine people have been confirmed

7:17

dead, and about twenty people have been

7:19

arrested scared. Syria's

7:22

secret news agency says the incident

7:24

occurred off the coast of Syria on

7:26

Thursday. According to those rescued, the

7:28

boat with about one hundred and fifty people

7:30

on board left eleven on last Tuesday

7:33

and was heading for Cyprus. Such

7:36

operations for missing passengers are

7:38

continuing.

7:38

online

7:40

Lebanese authorities have forged a craft

7:42

down on brokers smuggling migrants

7:44

in the country. People are fleeing

7:47

Lebanon by sea to seek a better

7:49

life in Europe as the country's

7:51

economic crisis continues to worsen.

7:53

The international organization for

7:55

migration says more than sixteen

7:58

hundred people have lost their lives

7:59

in such boat accidents since

8:02

early this year. And

8:05

those were the stories for the south.
