this missile launch probably wasn't unexpected though by japan given that north korea threatened japan if it supported the united states at the un security council for those stronger sanctions which of course happened so that was expected some analysts actually believe that north korea would launch another missile test last saturday on foundation day a significant day for the north koreans but they did have bad weather on that day and they were solar flares which we're told into fees with the electronics and perhaps that's why that missile launch didn't could then but this one indeed is timely it is the second missile launch in a month it's the fourth missile test ever to go across the top of japan there was one in nine hundred ninety eight and that the one in ninety nine and in two thousand and nine both of those were rockets carrying satellite so the first ballistic missile to go across the north of japan and into the pacific was the launch last month and of course we've now had this one so that's to that of being able to do and the significance of the trajectory of this missile is t

and japan but also the u.s., japan and korea. another thing i should talk about is that there's a limit to what forces can do. >> and therefore japan reaches the united states and also south korea and those countries should work together to get that deployed force how we maintain. i think the corporation is really needed in that regard. it is important to be deployed. thirdly, in order to reduce a u.s. burden japanese engagement in the region we need to revise once again and the burden which is currently born by the united states in order to reduce that we should take more initiative in order to contribute to the peace and stability of the region. there is a good possibility. i think we should discuss u.s. forces in order to have a better coordination between japan and the united states. i think it would be the new way for japan to engage in this region. thank you for this opportunity. >> i was involved in the project to think about the u.s. foreign policy and from different think tanks of the washington, d.c. i was invited to at

i am the japan program director. this could not have happened without a lot of the sponsors and supporters of the japan program. i would very much like to thank all of the japan program supporters at this location. you can see the list of supporters at the back of the brochure. hopefully, this supportive circle of corporation will grow over the years. a couple of administrative announcements before we start the program. first of all, it you'll, some of you have picked up a transition headset. if you have not done so if you need one, there rent a side of the room. channel 2 is english and channel 10 is japanese. obviously, the speakers will speak in japanese so you will probably need, most of you will probably need a headset and channel number two. if you have not done so, please do so at this time while i am stretching my time making these announcements. and you also noticed that you will see a note card and a pen or pencil in your seat to conduct the q&a session more efficiently. i usually do this only for this even

japan has exposure at better valuations. is there a level of dollar-yen that makes you abandon these optimistic calls? know, what is interesting is the decoupling of the japanese equity market and the yen. we are positive on japan. david: let's leave it there. thank you for coming on the program. , he has made history in the philippines and we are live to the milken summit to speak with the chairman and ceo. we will be live out of singapore for that chat coming up. plus, the market open in hong kong, china, and manila. this is bloomberg. ♪ so we need tablets installed... with the menu app ready to roll. in 12 weeks. yeah. ♪ ♪ the world of fast food is being changed by faster networks. ♪ ♪ data, applications, customer experience. ♪ ♪ which is why comcast business delivers consistent network performance and speed across all your locations. fast connections everywhere. that's how you outmaneuver. david: it is 9:29 in the morning in hong kong. manila closed at a record high yesterday. cloudy day, 28 degrees. our ve

so what we can do together not only with us-japan but us-japan and north korea. the other thing is there is a limit to what the floyd forces of the united states can do to make and also south korea those countries should work together by the source of the united states and how we maintain the presents. i think cooperation is needed. as i mentioned around the korean peninsula, needs to be reinforced. from the perspective it is japan must reinforce and so i think it's very important to be deployed. thirdly, in order to reduce u.s. burden japanese engagement in the region would need to look at our game. curre the burden which is currently with united states in order to reduce the we should take more initiative in order to contribute to the peace of then. region. there's a good possibility.er i think we should discuss this with u.s. forces to have a better coordination between japan and united states. i think that would be a good way thr japan to engage in thehe region. >> thank you. i've been for two years in washington, d.c. was -- in d.c. and for two years i was i

and japan altogether and that could be a very perfect way in japan. i think we are not able to engage in effective joint operation. we need to step up effort so japan and u.s. coordination can be well organized. >> these three gentlemen make my job easier because they feed off each other. that is why wanted them to come together. i'm glad they're able to do so. let me switchgear a little bit and talk about japan and the other u.s. allies in the region. japan has been investing along the security relationship with southeast asian countries, countries like australia, india, and in light of ratcheting up tensions in the korean peninsula, south korea is also a natural partner, elise is supposed to be that way. how do you see japan's future of the security corporation with these countries? probably i would put south korea in a different category from the rest, this is really in response to specific and concrete threat, but more generally relations with this country in southeast asia, australia, india and even i would say with europe nowadays. who would lik

that would send her toward japan. they missile launch comes hours after north korea threatened to sink japan into the sea with a nuclear weapon. we are just getting worried that japan has issued an emergency alert for this launch, warning residents to seek shelter immediately. again, we are getting word of a missile launch out of north korea. we will bring you details and a live report from south korea in a moment. three of the five will be with us later on the panel and up next president trump makes a decision about the iran nuclear deal. it's the one pentagon official says russia is underreporting the number of troops taking part in a military exercise. russia says it has 5500 personnel. western officials believe the actual number could be 100,000. the drills begin tonight. russia is stating it's not threatening anyone. two turbo military training accidents to tell you about in the u.s. eight special operation personnel injured today in an explosion at fort bragg. 15 marines were hurt when their amphibious assault v

-japan but u.s., japan and korea. the other thing i should talk about is that there is a limit to what forward deployed forces of the united states can do. and therefore japan, which is an ally country of japan and south korea, they should work together so together move forward. how we maintain the presence in western pacific. i think cooperation is really needed in that regard. as i mentioned, around the korean peninsula long term, defense posture needs to be reinforced. from that perspective, the, it is of course, japan must reenforce. and so assure the aegis assure. i think is very important to be deployed. and thirdly, in order to reduce u.s. burden, japanese engagement in the region, we need to revise our postures again. and the burden which is currently borne by the united states in order to reduce that, we should take more initiative in order to contribute to the peace and stability of the region. there is a good possibility of the i think we should discuss this with u.s. forces in order to have a better coordi

propaganda about japan against japan works because it is based on true facts, facts. in other words, japan did brutally invade china. they killed many people there was a massacre. et cetera, et cetera. but immediately after the war, for the decades after the war china never asked japan for an official apology. they never wanted to talk much about the massacre. it simply wasn't a priority for them. but once they started to become more powerful, once they thought that they wanted the respect that they thought should be accorded to them, that is when they started talking about history more. and japan was very unprepared for that, japan thought they sort of settled all those issues. and japan struggles to have any form of introa speks about history. so i haven't so much written about the history wars. i've written the history of the history wars. and once you look at it from that perspective you will see that it's really a matter of internal politics in both countries. and that is how i have approached it. >> glor: so much of this goes back to 1937. what happened in nanji

japan and koreans. without being participan particn that discussion of course we are told it is for the peace and security for these patients we have to take it, and we did take it. but this time as i mentioned that of course why we appreciate very much japan alliance and yet as i say that kind of source of critical security problems may differ from japan and the united states engines of icbm. so we have to be there. we have to state are positioned very clearly. japan was one of those key players, and for the first time that the six-party talks involved all the relevant players in the region. so that's i kind of sort of menu we have to seek for that. in doing so in particular i have one small personal sort of position. and to propose. and that is why not for japan? y within the framework of six-party talks but we call upon the new sort of initiative calling for emergency five countries, ministers meeting. five countries across japan, united states, china, south korea and russia. it is last sort of scena

so, you have japan and india, japan and the philippines, vietnam and inda, japan and australia. all sorts of u.s. allies or allied countries, joining together in new source of security partnership. u.s.his will bolster the old alliance system. jeff: china wants the u.s. there, just on their terms. richard: yes, but the fascinating thing about china is they have been a huge winner from pax americana. the u.s., as the security guarantor in asia, has provided the platform for the chinese economic miracle. that is not to say the chinese did not do it themselves through good policy, hard work and the a peacefulithout international and regional environment, which the u.s. provided, that was the sort of platform, the runway on which china took off. of course, the wto. china did not do anything in building the system, they simply plugged into it in the year 2000. the u.s. helped build that as well. once again, china took off. i think quite naturally, china wants eventually to be the dominant power itself in asia. they don't want, now that they are a big power with a big economy, maybe i

firing another ballistic missile over japan the u.s. military said it was an intermediate range missile that can travel three thousand seven hundred kilometers well that range is long enough to reach the u.s. military base though this missile its path was further to the north. of the capital pyongyang flying over the japanese island of hokkaido before landing in the pacific ocean but it's the second north korean missile to fly over japan in less than a month prime minister shinzo condemned the launch and called for international action. now is the time for the international community to come together the latest sanctions need to be imposed in full north korea needs to be made to understand that if it continues on this path there is no bright future for it. well the u.s. secretary of state is calling on all nations to take new measures against north korea specifically he said china and russia must indicate their intolerance for these reckless launches by taking direct actions of their own well we have our correspondent craig least in tok

in less than a month japan's chief cabinet secretary. confirmed the missile pasta over the northern island of hokkaido well. we cannot accept this excessive provocation repeated by north korea and resolutely denounce it in the strongest possible words and also convey our people strong resentment the japanese government will respond to the situation with the u.s. south korea and other related countries including the u.n. security council and will monitor the situation in order to protect and ensure people safety here's our diplomatic editor james bays. this will be seen as an act of defiance by the u.n. security council and already they've called a close session on friday to discuss the situation and particularly the very provocative timing because this missile launch came just seventy two hours after the last security council meeting in which they imposed further sanctions on north korea and it comes just days before world leaders meet here in new york for the high level session of the u.n. general assembly president trump for example wi

japan can face up to north korea's nuclear threats through the japan-u.s. alliance and through japan's u.s. and r.o.k-acting community. we consistently support the stance of the united states that all options are on the table. also, i appreciate the unanimous adoption of the city council, which imposes sanctions on north korea. that clarified our intention to further intensify pressure on north korea, to force it to undertake a fundamental change in its path forward. but i must make an appeal to you. north korea has already demonstrated its disregard of the resolution by launching yet another missile. the resolution is nothing more than the beginning. missiles fromt heading to north korea. we must make north korea comply fully with repeated resolutions. we must ensure the strict and full implementation of a series of security council resolutions by all u.n. member nations. what is necessary is action. whether or not we can put an end to the provocation of north korea is dependent upon the solidarity of the international community. there is not much time lef

china considered it self to be japan's big brother, it fell behind japan, was rudely invaded japan. and really only in the last 10 to 20 years out of 150 years, japan-china is getting back on top again. they have always demanded the west treat them as equals, quite rightly feared the u.s. had racist policies toward asia. but they struggle to treat each other as equals and it leads to an antagonistic relationship. jeff: for most of the history china has been the big brother. were, but if you talk to the japanese they'll say we were not ever the little brother. we are japan. they claim that many people in japan think that china's mindset --to return to this form of in which china is the center, the middle kingdom and everybody else is a form of tributary state. get onhina allows to with allies as long as they pay some sort of obedience. japan says we were never like that and we will never be like that and they are determined to stand their ground. >> can you talk about the scars that remain, maybe even deepened at times with discussion over what apologies should be made over world war

and we have the patriot battery here in japan and of course the a.g.s. ships contain interceptors which it capable of locking on and taking out any missiles as they launched into space so certainly japan is in readiness the united states says that the defense system here is strong enough to contain any missile threat that should come from north korea. representatives of the syrian government and opposition groups are meeting in kazakhstan for a sixth round of talks to end the six year long civil war the discussions in a stand being brokered by russia turkey and iran but many victims of the war a critical of the representatives at the talks saying they are too far removed from the situation on the ground is carolyn maloney. this is the kind of violence that is started talks on syria aimed at reducing the last round in july delegations from russia iran and turkey talked about creating four main deescalation. one of them is in the north of homs province where around one hundred eighty thousand civilians men women and children live under the control of a reb

that this missile launch would take place in japan. i think has been expecting north korea to increase the provocation given the support that your pain is providing to the united states and south korea and particularly as it goes for tougher sanctions against north korea and of course we've got these military exercises that are taking place just off the coast of the korean peninsula with the united states and japan itself and south korea so all of these things are causing consternation to the north koreans and they are reacting and that's causing the situation we see today and what we're going to end up with i think is these emergency council meeting in the u.n. security council if in fact it agrees to japan's wish for that to go ahead craig thanks very much indeed that's quickly some live for us in tokyo let's now go to under thomas who's joining us live from seoul andrew i was just reading there on the wires that president moon for a has been suggesting that there are possible north korean threats like electromagnetic pulses on bio c

after the war, american troops were involved with the occupation of japan. this is the city map of tokyo showing the best routes and places american soldiers should or could go while in the city, like the imperial palace of different religious centers or lincoln center, so this is a map set up for the american soldiers to go. on the back, they have given more support, where they can visit to make your stay pleasant and profitable. here are some things you should see and do during your visit to tokyo. so we have places they can go, places to eat, tokyo, the city itself, sites they might want to visit while in town. what i have in front of me is 69 pages of the doctrine is asian -- dr. nation -- papers in the original formats, airy thick paper hole punched, but i wanted to read the charges with pearl harbor. as it was sent to the delivery, approximately the same time the pearl harbor attack occurred, the plan to carry out its undertaking without due notice of failure to conform with international procedures pertaining to hostilities and violated international

in less than a month it comes within twenty four hours of north korea threatening to sink japan with nuclear weapons a threat japan takes seriously now that it believes north korea has the ability to miniaturize its nuclear weapons and place them on top of ballistic missiles like the one which crossed the country today craig leeson al-jazeera tokyo. well china's foreign ministry has also responded to the missile launch on hand r.t. we've seen that peacefully solving the nuclear issue on the peninsula through formal diplomatic means is slowly becoming the consensus of the international community at the same time there are more and more people who have realized that sanctions are not the way to solve the problem the most pressing task is that all sides in question immediately stop threatening and provoking comments that create more tensions on the peninsula now russia iran and turkey have agreed on the borders of a so-called deescalation zone and so here's the northern edler province the details are worked out of the sixth round of severe talks in the cover capital a starner at levels
