Tokyo. South Korea's military
0:16
says Sunday's missile launched by North
0:18
Korea could have been provoked by joint
0:21
drills it plans to hold
0:23
with the US. South
0:26
Korea's military officials announced that
0:28
North Korea launched a short
0:30
range ballistic missile toward the sea of Japan
0:32
at around six fifty three AM
0:35
Sunday. The official say the missile
0:37
was fired from near the Tecton
0:39
area of north Pyongyang
0:42
province in the country's northwest.
0:44
Now they say the missile traveled about six
0:46
hundred kilometers, reaching an altitude, about
0:48
sixty kilometers at a maximum. Six
0:51
hundred it traveled six hundred kilometers
0:53
reaching an altitude of about sixty kilometers
0:56
at maximum speed of about Mach five.
0:59
Japan's defense minister says it can be
1:01
presumed that the missile landed out
1:03
side Japan's exclusive economic zone.
1:05
He also says that missile could have been a model
1:08
capable of following irregular
1:11
flight paths He says there have been
1:13
no reports so far of damage
1:15
to Japanese ships or aircraft.
1:17
We strongly
1:20
condemn the launch. it violates
1:22
security council resolutions. Yes.
1:25
North
1:25
Korea fired a total of eight ballistic
1:28
missiles in June alone Sunday's
1:30
launch was the nineteenth this year.
1:33
South Korea's presidential office has expressed
1:35
concerns as it was the first
1:37
since Pyongyang adopted a nuclear
1:40
policy early this month. The law
1:42
outlines conditions under which the country
1:44
would launch a nuclear strike in
1:46
shining the right to use
1:48
nuclear weapons. And North
1:50
Korea has been on edge
1:52
over US a South Korea
1:54
joint drills scheduled to take place soon
1:57
around the sea of Japan. The US
1:59
nuclear powered aircraft carrier Ronald
2:01
Reagan docked in the southeastern
2:03
city of Busan on Friday ahead
2:05
of the drills. South Korean and
2:07
US military forces have been on high
2:09
alert as there are signs
2:12
that Pyongyang may be preparing to launch
2:14
a ballistic missile from a submarine.
2:17
Now, Iran has been rocked by clashes
2:19
between people protesting the death of a
2:21
young woman, arrested for dressing improperly
2:24
and security forces. State run
2:26
television reports that forty one people
2:29
have died. Massoud
2:31
Amini was arrested allegedly
2:34
not properly wearing the that
2:36
is required by law in public. She
2:38
later died on September sixteenth at
2:40
the age of twenty two. Authorities
2:43
say she suffered sudden heart
2:45
failure, but protesters believe that
2:47
she was beaten by police. Some demonstrators
2:50
have set fire to police vehicles and damaged
2:52
buildings. A number of protesters have
2:54
been arrested. The government
2:56
is also restricting Internet and
2:58
social media access Experts
3:01
say the protests are fueled by strong public
3:03
discontent with economic policies
3:06
and enforcement of headscarf
3:08
rules. And
3:11
there's a new wave of protests across Russia
3:13
against the mobilization of civilians
3:16
the military. President
3:18
Vladimir Putin announced what he calls
3:21
a partial mobilization last
3:23
Wednesday as Ukraine forces
3:25
continued counterattacks in the east
3:27
and south of Ukraine. Independent
3:30
Russian media outlets report that the plan
3:32
could mobilize one million people
3:34
including the elderly and students.
3:37
Protests were staged in Moscow, Saint
3:39
Petersburg, and other areas on
3:41
Saturday. A Russian Human Rights
3:44
Group says more than seven hundred and forty
3:46
individuals had been arrested in
3:48
at least thirty two cities. Group
3:50
says some of those detained were handed
3:52
their call off papers. Kremlin's
3:55
spokesperson, Deputy Pascal, says
3:57
drafting detained persons is
3:59
totally legal. Putin
4:01
has strengthened punishment for deserters
4:04
and draft dodgers, including prison
4:06
terms, of up to fifteen years.
4:10
Russia still has strong ties with India,
4:12
whose foreign minister told the UN general
4:14
assembly, it remains neutral on
4:17
the Ukraine conflict. India
4:20
is on the side of peace and will
4:22
remain firmly there. We
4:24
are on the side that respects the
4:26
UN charter and is founding principles.
4:29
We are on the side
4:31
that calls for dialogue and diplomacy
4:34
as the only way out. India
4:37
has a long and strong relationship
4:39
with Russia, especially in military and
4:41
economic fields. At the UN,
4:43
India has repeatedly abstained from
4:46
voting on resolutions demanding the immediate
4:48
withdrawal of Russian forces
4:50
from Ukraine. But earlier this
4:52
month, Indian prime minister,
4:54
Narandramodi, told Russian
4:57
President Vladimir Putin, that
4:59
this is not the era of
5:01
war. At the UN, the
5:03
foreign minister said there are increasing calls
5:05
to reform the security council saying it is
5:07
behind the times and deeply unfair.
5:10
He said that India is ready to take
5:12
on greater responsibilities, indicating
5:14
the country may want a permanent
5:16
member seat on the council.
5:26
about carrying migrants from Lebanon capsized
5:29
off Syria. Local media
5:31
says eighty nine people have been
5:33
confirmed dead and about twenty people
5:35
have been rescued. Syria's
5:38
state run news agency says the
5:40
incident occurred off the coast of Syria on
5:42
Thursday According to those
5:44
rescued, the boat with about a hundred and
5:46
fifty people on board left Lebanon
5:49
last Tuesday and was heading
5:51
for Cyprus. Search
5:53
operations for missing passengers are continuing.
5:55
Lebanese authorities have launched a crackdown
5:57
on brokers smuggling migrants
5:59
in the country. People
6:01
are fleeing Lebanon by sea
6:04
to seek a better life in Europe as the
6:06
country's economic crisis continues
6:08
to worsen. The International Organization
6:10
for migration says more than
6:12
one thousand six hundred people
6:14
have lost their lives in such boat
6:16
accidents since early this
6:18
year. A new
6:20
footage of the Beatles has been
6:22
made public in Japan. It captures
6:25
scenes of intense police security
6:27
when the fab four visited Japan
6:29
to perform in more than fifty
6:31
five years ago. Now some of the
6:33
film has never been seen by the
6:35
public before. The
6:38
video was released in July
6:40
to a nonprofit organization which
6:42
made an information disclosure request
6:44
to the metropolitan police department in
6:46
two thousand fifteen. The faces
6:48
of people other than the Beatles are blurred
6:51
to protect their privacy. The
6:53
black and white silent footage is about
6:55
thirty five minutes long. It shows
6:57
large scale security measures implemented
6:59
during the Fab four's visit from
7:01
June twenty ninth to July third
7:03
nineteen sixty six. The
7:05
footage shows checkpoints SET
7:07
UP AROUND NEPON BOUDJIKAN, THE
7:10
CONSERVED VENEW AND A HOTEL
7:12
WHERE THE GROUP STADE. IT ALSO SHOWS
7:14
POLICE BOATS PATROLING THE MOTES
7:16
around the arena. Video
7:18
also includes scenes from the final performance
7:20
on the night of July second, which
7:22
have never been made public until
7:24
now. It shows the band members
7:26
waving as they left the stage.
7:29
It is surprising
7:32
that such footage came out as I thought there
7:34
were no more materials available. It
7:36
is also a pleasure. I
7:38
think it is worth studying. Regarding
7:41
the faces of fans and police officers
7:43
being obscured, the head of the nonprofit
7:45
or organization, Shinkai
7:47
Satoshi says the fact that
7:50
police at the blur footage taken in
7:52
nineteen sixty six tells us
7:54
how outdated and globally substandard
7:56
Japan's information disclosure system is.
7:59
The video has been released on
8:01
YouTube.
8:21
And
8:23
here's a three day forecast for selected cities
8:25
around the globe.
9:37
And that's Rob for this edition of NHK
9:39
news line. I'm Ramin Malagaard. Thank you very
9:41
much for joining us.
