0:19

of Foreign minister has reacted to

0:21

a discussion in the Us senate

0:24

at touched on the Atomic Bombings

0:26

of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are

0:28

invoked during a debate over Us

0:30

military support for Israel in it's

0:32

fight against Hamas. It

0:35

happens during a Senate subcommittee

0:37

hearing on Wednesday involving the

0:40

partial suspension of American arms

0:42

shipments. Republican senator Lindsey Graham

0:44

has urged weapon deliveries be

0:47

resumed, referencing the atomic bombings

0:49

in Nineteen Forty Five. Give

0:53

Israel what they need to fight

0:55

a war they can't afford to

0:57

lose. This is Hiroshima and Nagasaki

0:59

on steroids. At

1:02

one point gram of pressed senior

1:04

Us defense officials on whether they

1:06

thought the use of nuclear weapons

1:09

was justified. In

1:12

hindsight, do think that was the right

1:14

decision for America to drop to atomic

1:16

bombs on. The Japanese cities in question

1:18

were outraged auto or. Okay, well

1:20

so where do you agree, Generals, And if you'd

1:22

been around, would you say drop on. I

1:27

agree with Germany, Are you? On

1:32

Friday, Japanese Foreign minister, a comic

1:34

oh Yoko was asked for her

1:36

thoughts on those remarks by a

1:38

reporter. Here's what she said: Hiroshima.

1:42

Ojo the Internet. Again, you

1:45

consider had scale that I

1:47

believe those remarks about Hiroshima

1:49

and Nagasaki were not appropriate.

1:51

Japan is aware that the

1:53

atomic bombings of Hiroshima and

1:55

Nagasaki take so many precious

1:57

lives and caused an extremely

1:59

rare. Credible humanitarian situation

2:01

in which people suffered

2:03

indescribable hardships and due

2:05

to illness and disability.

2:09

Also, as the government has insane

2:11

for a long time forty we

2:13

believe the use of nuclear weapons

2:16

does not match the spirit of

2:18

humanitarian them which is the ideological

2:21

foundation of international law because of

2:23

their tremendous destructive and before power.

2:28

Com courses depends government's conveyed that

2:30

view to Washington as well as

2:32

to the office of Senator Graham.

2:37

Japan's died has passed a bill

2:39

to set up a security clearance

2:41

system for access to economic information

2:44

that seems critical to national security.

2:46

It was enacted in an upper

2:48

house plenary session on Friday. The

2:52

law limits access to the

2:54

information to people with government

2:56

clearance including some employees have

2:58

a private sector companies. The

3:00

bill was revised in the

3:02

lower house through consultation between

3:04

ruling and opposition parties. The

3:07

law requires the government's to

3:09

provide the diet with annual

3:11

reports on how it conducts

3:13

a clearance. Turks these reports

3:15

will also include why the

3:17

government decided to classify or

3:19

declassify information. The law stipulates.

3:21

Classification should be based on

3:23

operational criteria or and plans

3:25

to set up an expert

3:27

panel to discuss these criteria

3:30

soon. His.

3:32

Own: it's a good though. Sequel: Good. The

3:34

enactment of this law will give Japan

3:36

and Information Security system similar to it's

3:38

allies in other countries. There's a sense

3:40

of trust and conflict As a season

3:43

at it was a little only listen.

3:54

Ukrainian. President Volodymyr Lenski has

3:56

dismissed his own security chief

3:58

after two other members the

4:00

Stay Protection Service were detained

4:03

over a suspected assassination plot.

4:06

Flimsy announced on Thursday that

4:08

she had dismissed Sears he

rude as head of the

4:12

core core that protects the

4:14

President and other V I

4:16

P's. No reason for the

4:18

dismissal was provided. Earlier this

4:20

month, Ukrainian security authorities detained

4:23

to kernels from the Department

4:25

on suspicion of leaking classified

4:27

information to Russia's Federal Security

4:29

Service and being involved in

4:31

an assassination plot. The

4:33

Head of Military Intelligence Carrillo

4:35

Baton, Us celebrity, and others

4:38

were apparently the planned targets.

4:41

Meanwhile, the General Staff of the

4:43

Armed Forces of Ukraine told Nhk

4:45

that Russian troops crosses the border

4:47

from the north and entered the

4:50

Eastern Ukrainian region of hearts. The

4:52

said fighting is continuing in the

4:54

region and the Russian military has

4:56

advanced one kilometer beyond the border.

5:01

The. Philippine National Security Council has

5:03

called for Chinese diplomats to be

5:06

expelled from the country that accuses

5:08

them of spreading false information about

5:10

the South China Sea. The

5:14

Philippine National Security Advisor released

5:16

a statement about the issue

5:18

on Friday that alleges China's

5:20

embassy in Manila has been

5:22

involved in repeated acts of

5:24

the engaging in and dissemination

5:26

of this information, misinformation, and

5:28

of mel information as the

5:30

Embassy was trying to sow

5:32

discord, division, and disunity among

5:34

the people of the Philippines.

5:36

The Saban refers to China's

5:38

claim that the two countries

5:40

had reached an agreement in

5:42

January. Oversupply missions to a

5:44

Philippine military hub in the

5:46

South China Seas. The hub

5:48

is located in the disputed

5:50

The Second Thomas Show which

5:52

the Philippines effectively controls. Manila

5:55

says even if a conversation

5:57

did take place. in agreement

5:59

had not been concluded. China

6:02

rejects the Philippines' claims. The

6:06

statement made by the Philippines side proves

6:09

they have become weak in the face

6:11

of facts and evidence. The

6:14

spokesperson also said Beijing requests

6:17

the Philippines ensure that Chinese

6:19

diplomats are able to perform

6:21

their duties normally. Maldivian

6:26

Foreign Minister Moussa Zamir held

6:28

talks with his Indian counterpart

6:31

Subramanyama Jayashankar in New Delhi.

6:34

It's the first high-level visit since

6:36

the Maldives' pro-China president Mohammed Mwizu

6:39

came to power last November on

6:41

an election pledge of

6:43

India out. Today

6:46

we will be reviewing the various dimensions

6:48

of our ties. It is in our

6:50

common interest that we reach an understanding

6:53

of how best we take our relationship

6:55

forward. The

6:58

talks came a day ahead of the

7:00

May 10 deadline set by the Maldivian

7:02

president for India to withdraw its troops

7:04

from the island nation. Since

7:07

taking office, Mwizu has been reviewing

7:09

the pro-India policy of the previous

7:11

administration and is stepping

7:14

up his pro-China stance. He

7:16

maintains that excessive military cooperation

7:18

with India could erode the

7:20

Maldives' sovereignty. India's

7:22

foreign ministry spokesperson said on Thursday that

7:25

it had replaced some 80 soldiers on

7:27

the Maldives with civilian

7:29

technical personnel. Indian

7:32

troops were there to provide

7:34

humanitarian and medical evacuation services

7:37

to local residents with helicopters

7:39

donated by New Delhi. The

7:42

island nation in the Indian Ocean lies

7:44

in the middle of a strategically important

7:46

sea lane and plays a vital

7:48

role in regional dynamics. Both

7:51

India and China have been vying

7:53

to expand their influence over the

7:55

Maldives. China

7:58

is also increasing its influence in the. The South

8:00

Pacific and major powers in the

8:02

region are trying to curb such

8:05

moves. This includes a new security

8:07

memorandum the that Australia has struck

8:09

with the island station of to

8:11

volume. The

8:13

two countries signed the document on

8:16

Thursday that includes an extension of

8:18

Australia's security guaranteed to to bother

8:20

to follow the path last year

8:22

That virtually allowed camera to veto

8:24

any security deal to all the

8:26

signs with another country. Some critics

8:29

accuse Australia of undermining to bothers

8:31

sovereignty. The new document says to

8:33

Ballou still needs to agree with

8:35

Australia before it's signs of security

8:37

deal with a third party, but

8:39

it also says to follow does

8:42

not need cameras. Permission to enter

8:44

talks with other partners. The two

8:46

sides agreed that there's only a

8:49

narrow set of circumstances where such

8:51

cooperation of could be of concern.

8:54

Australia also announcer provide more than

8:56

that. Seventy million dollars in aid

8:59

to to follow. The money will

9:01

be used to fund an undersea

10:16

Ahead of the presidential election

in November. Chinese

10:22

president Xi Jinping is in Hungary,

10:25

the final stop on his European

10:27

tour after France and Serbia. The

10:29

leaders of the two countries have

China's belt and road initiative. She

10:38

said on Thursday that Beijing and

10:45

After meeting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor

11:28

is set to hold the rotating

11:30

presidency of the you and the

11:33

latter half of this year. Extreme

12:00

heat is baking parts of Mexico,

12:03

including the capital. Our

12:05

meteorologist Jonathan O has the details

12:07

in world weather. Hello,

12:10

we've been dealing with some really hot

12:13

weather across Mexico as a heat wave

12:15

has been gripping the country. Mexico City,

12:17

one point showing a temperature high of

12:19

34.3 degrees on Thursday, which is all

12:23

time record. And yeah, the

12:25

heat is impacting other parts of the

12:27

country as well. Today's look at some

12:29

video to show you the situation on

12:32

the ground. The country is experiencing its

12:34

second heat wave of the spring season.

12:36

So people were wearing hats or using

12:38

power saws for protection and trying to

12:40

get into the thousands. In fact, to try

12:42

to get some relief from the scorching sun,

12:44

electricity demand has caused power outages in at

12:46

least 15 states and drought levels,

12:49

bringing down the waters near

12:51

dams. And so that is also causing a bit

12:53

of a problem. Look at

12:55

more heat to be part of the story

12:57

in Mexico as we go forward throughout the

12:59

day on Friday. And so beyond the lookout

13:01

for that, we're talking about stormy weather up

13:04

toward the north. We've been dealing with

13:06

this frontal system that really

13:08

marches way across the century United States, all

13:11

the way toward the east over the past few days.

13:13

I mean, this has been a long story,

13:15

a multi-day severe weather

13:17

event. Look at the possibility

13:19

on Friday from the Carolinas and down

13:22

toward Florida. We're going to Saturday and the

13:24

low will bring some wet weather up

13:27

toward the north and east. So we'll look

13:29

after that. Heat is the story back toward the

13:31

west here. I mean, Seattle looking at high of

13:33

27, some locations in Oregon getting

13:35

close to 30 degrees. And so take it

13:38

easy outdoors if you have to be outdoors

13:40

and try to get some relief by

13:42

staying indoors and staying in the shade as much

13:44

as possible. Look at what's happening across

13:46

Europe, relatively dry except for a low that's moving

13:48

into Turkey. That's a chance for some rain in

13:51

a place like Istanbul as we go into Saturday

13:53

with a high of 15. Japan

13:56

looking at a dry start to the

13:58

weekend. We're looking at high pressure. the

14:00

weather with sunny skies across the country. Rain,

14:02

though, causes the picture as we head into

14:04

Sunday. That's the Extra Forecast. Hope you have

14:07

a wonderful weekend wherever you are. That's

14:48

all for this edition of NHK New

14:51

design in Yosvogaswar in Cilco. Thanks

14:53

for tuning in.
