Detecting language using up to the first 30 seconds. Use `--language` to specify the language Detected language: English [00:00.000 --> 00:06.360] agenda is the deployment of the B-22 spray aircraft in Okinawa, which has triggered massive [00:06.360 --> 00:10.760] protests in the region over of safety concerns. [00:10.760 --> 00:16.640] The Pentagon has described the U.S.-Japan alliance as a cornerstone of its U.S.-Asia-Pacific [00:16.640 --> 00:17.640] engagement. [00:17.640 --> 00:23.760] After that, Panada will travel to China at the imitation of Defense Minister Liang Guangli. [00:23.760 --> 00:28.960] The Pentagon calls it an opportunity for increasing military cooperation with China. [00:28.960 --> 00:34.520] Panada is also expected to tell China that their relocating military resources to Asia-Pacific [00:34.520 --> 00:38.880] is not meant to confront China. [00:38.880 --> 00:44.680] And for more about Liang Panada's Asian visit, we're now joined on the line by Mr. Liu Yofang [00:44.680 --> 00:47.560] from the China Institute of International Studies. [00:47.560 --> 00:49.240] Well, good evening, Professor Liu. [00:49.240 --> 00:54.760] Could you tell us what is really behind the timing of Panada's visit to Japan this time [00:54.760 --> 00:59.520] as the row between China and Japan over the disputed islands is just on the rise? [00:59.520 --> 01:06.720] Well, we could see the disputes between Japan and China over Deli Island have almost come [01:06.720 --> 01:08.960] to the boiling point. [01:08.960 --> 01:16.240] The United States used to assure Japan that the security pact would take effect when Deli [01:16.240 --> 01:20.400] Islands would under attack, quote, and unquote. [01:20.400 --> 01:25.400] For that matter, the two naval forces held the months-long military exercises. [01:25.400 --> 01:31.880] However, when the current Japanese government staged the drama to purchase the Deli Island, [01:31.880 --> 01:39.720] quote, unquote, Chinese side acted with tit for tat, and implemented series of punitive [01:39.720 --> 01:44.720] actions to show China's sovereignty over the island. [01:44.720 --> 01:51.880] I am sure that more actions are in the pipeline should the Japanese side fail to come back [01:51.880 --> 01:53.120] to senses. [01:53.120 --> 02:00.800] Therefore, I can see that the US Defense Secretary has to hurry to Tokyo in order to [02:00.800 --> 02:07.880] persuade the Japanese government to refrain from taking any aggressive measures that might [02:07.880 --> 02:13.800] further complicate the disputes, which would surely bring Japan into conflict with China [02:13.800 --> 02:16.000] over the island. [02:16.000 --> 02:19.680] Then the United States might be drawn into the eventual conflict. [02:19.680 --> 02:25.000] This would surely be the last thing that the US wanted when the general election is around [02:25.000 --> 02:26.520] the corner. [02:26.520 --> 02:32.880] Any further deterioration of the dispute would damage the US pivotal to the Asian Pacific. [02:32.880 --> 02:38.520] After all, Deli Island is not the priority in terms of the US interest at the moment. [02:38.520 --> 02:39.680] Back to you, Mr. Joe. [02:39.680 --> 02:45.880] So it is understood that maybe President Obama doesn't want to see an unsettling situation [02:45.880 --> 02:48.960] in East Asia at this moment, election year. [02:48.960 --> 02:54.560] But what do you think it is on the agenda, Panetta, when he comes to China and Japan? [02:54.560 --> 02:59.560] Is it want to complicate the situation or ease down the tension? [02:59.560 --> 03:09.600] My guess is the US would want very much the disputes to maintain at the current level, [03:09.600 --> 03:10.880] at least. [03:10.880 --> 03:18.720] So my guess is the first and foremost submission for the Defense Secretary is to try to reaffirm [03:18.720 --> 03:22.360] the alliance relations between US and Japan. [03:22.360 --> 03:23.960] That's what he has to do. [03:23.960 --> 03:30.400] The Defense Secretary would also have to persuade the latter to act in caution vis-à-vis the [03:30.400 --> 03:33.280] disputes with China over Deli Island. [03:33.280 --> 03:38.560] The second agenda, I could guess, is to have further discussion on the painting deployment [03:38.560 --> 03:42.040] of the military aircraft in Japan. [03:42.040 --> 03:48.840] And last but not least, maybe the US would try to act as the kind of a mediator in the [03:48.840 --> 03:55.560] bilateral contradiction between Japan and China, which has long been the aim of the United [03:55.560 --> 03:59.200] States to fish in the troubled water. [03:59.200 --> 04:00.200] Back to you, Mr. Joe. [04:00.200 --> 04:01.200] All right. [04:01.200 --> 04:02.880] Thank you very much, Mr. Leo, for your take on this. [04:02.880 --> 04:08.840] You're now watching CCTV News and coming up next on this program, Storming the Embassy's [04:08.840 --> 04:18.520] protest against the US sparked by an anti-Islam film spread all over the world. [04:18.520 --> 04:25.280] Before US NATO troops die in a shooting by an Afghan police officer, the third attack [04:25.280 --> 04:52.120] in three days. [04:55.280 --> 05:06.120] Hangzhou Outsourcing Global Service, Hangzhou, China. [05:06.120 --> 05:11.120] Welcome to Luoyang, China. [05:11.120 --> 05:24.920] A new major has emerged. [05:24.920 --> 05:29.040] We can help better understand this region and its role. [05:29.040 --> 05:34.600] We show the decisions made, the accomplishments, and things people in Asia still hope to achieve. [05:34.600 --> 05:38.600] Not only that, we offer a wide mix of world views. [05:38.600 --> 05:43.480] From business and politics to culture, entertainment, and sport, we impart abundance around the [05:43.480 --> 05:44.480] world. [05:44.480 --> 05:47.480] What themes present these from the different perspectives? [05:47.480 --> 05:55.440] We can be at a source where things are happening, and viewers can judge for themselves. [05:55.440 --> 05:57.680] The world is more integrated than ever. [05:57.680 --> 06:04.920] How well we go forward depends on how well we know it's up. [06:04.920 --> 06:05.920] CCTV News. [06:05.920 --> 06:07.440] Your link to Asia. [06:07.440 --> 06:10.720] We debate and discuss to push the envelope. [06:10.720 --> 06:14.000] China needs dialogue to facilitate integration. [06:14.000 --> 06:16.000] We call for deep, intellectual. [06:16.000 --> 06:18.000] Use it to your mind. [06:18.000 --> 06:19.000] Assertive. [06:19.000 --> 06:21.000] It is the fundamental problem. [06:21.000 --> 06:22.000] Level playing. [06:22.000 --> 06:23.000] Observant. [06:23.000 --> 06:24.000] In an age of multilateralism. [06:24.000 --> 06:25.000] Graceful. [06:25.000 --> 06:26.000] Universal elevation. [06:26.000 --> 06:46.600] This is Dialogue, where ideas do matter. [06:46.600 --> 06:51.240] Protests sparked by an anti-Islam film has spread to multiple countries. [06:51.240 --> 06:57.400] On Saturday, thousands of protesters demonstrated in front of the U.S. Embassy campaign in Tunis. [06:57.400 --> 07:02.800] They tore down the American flag and raised an Islamic one, while looting and burning [07:02.800 --> 07:04.600] buildings. [07:04.600 --> 07:09.040] Protesters also attacked a neighboring American school, burning school buses and storming [07:09.040 --> 07:12.240] classrooms and teaching facilities. [07:12.240 --> 07:14.680] The clashes have left four dead and 49 injured. [07:14.680 --> 07:20.240] In Paris, some 250 demonstrators gathered outside the U.S. Embassy. [07:20.240 --> 07:25.880] Local police broke up the demonstration briefly, detaining 150 people. [07:25.880 --> 07:30.520] The U.S. State Department has ordered the departure of all family members and non-essential [07:30.520 --> 07:36.160] U.S. government personnel from its embassies in Sudan and Tunisia. [07:36.160 --> 07:40.240] It also issued travel warnings to American citizens. [07:40.240 --> 07:47.640] Meanwhile, Sudan has refused to allow the U.S. to send Marines to cartoony. [07:47.640 --> 07:53.480] As Libyan investigators examined the inside of the American consulate in Benghazi following [07:53.480 --> 07:59.560] a last Tuesday's attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other embassy employees, [07:59.560 --> 08:05.440] witnesses say the cause of the death is unclear and that there is a lack of security when [08:05.440 --> 08:10.240] the attack happened. [08:10.240 --> 08:13.280] Entering the consulate, we can see a burnt car. [08:13.280 --> 08:19.440] The guard says on Tuesday the militants threw a grenade into the outside court of the building, [08:19.440 --> 08:22.920] then rushed into the consulate, setting fire to it. [08:22.920 --> 08:27.480] The blaze continued for several hours, dying down the next morning. [08:27.480 --> 08:32.600] The militants are believed to have taken a number of items from the consulate. [08:32.600 --> 08:37.640] The guard says the ambassador did not die as a result of the rocket-propelled mortar [08:37.640 --> 08:41.000] attack that followed. [08:41.000 --> 08:47.400] The ambassador died of suffocation, who was not hit directly by the mortar attack. [08:47.400 --> 08:49.960] News leaves very near to the consulate. [08:49.960 --> 08:52.560] His son is a witness to the attack. [08:52.560 --> 08:56.560] He says they went into the consulate the moment the militants left. [08:56.560 --> 09:02.520] Later, they heard screaming and then found the ambassador on the floor of the washroom. [09:02.520 --> 09:07.960] So far, the Libyan government says they have made considerable progress in the investigation [09:07.960 --> 09:13.360] and have arrested many suspects but cannot release detailed information. [09:13.360 --> 09:19.320] To avoid disruption, Libya has stepped up the police presence at the consulate and tightened [09:19.320 --> 09:21.920] security around its perimeter. [09:21.920 --> 09:23.320] Bijan Lu, CCTV. [09:23.320 --> 09:28.520] And as we Afghanistan, according to Afghan and international officials, at least one [09:28.520 --> 09:34.160] Afghan police officer turn his gun on NATO troops at a remote checkpoint in southern Afghanistan [09:34.160 --> 09:36.160] before dawn on Sunday. [09:36.160 --> 09:40.760] Four American members of the international security assistance force were killed. [09:40.760 --> 09:45.960] It was the third reason attacked by Afghan forces or in certain disguised in military [09:45.960 --> 09:49.080] uniforms against international forces. [09:49.080 --> 09:50.840] Eight troops have been killed. [09:50.840 --> 09:56.120] There has been a string of attacks by Afghan forces against their international counterparts [09:56.120 --> 09:57.720] in recent months. [09:57.720 --> 10:03.240] The killings have imperiled the military partnership between Kabul and NATO. [10:03.240 --> 10:10.240] Many fear the anti-Islam film marking the Prophet Mohammed may further aggravate Afghan-U.S. [10:10.240 --> 10:13.240] relations. [10:13.240 --> 10:17.640] The United States and more than two dozen allies are gearing up for the largest naval [10:17.640 --> 10:22.840] exercise in the Mideast, focused on countering the threat of anti-ship mines. [10:22.840 --> 10:30.280] While the maneuvers from 16th to 27th September will focus on a hypothetical extremist organization [10:30.280 --> 10:35.480] to prepare for threats that could block vital trade routes at sea. [10:35.480 --> 10:41.560] What U.S. Navy officials say the anti-mon exercise is not targeting any specific country, [10:41.560 --> 10:47.280] nor about a response to Iranian threats to shut down the narrow strait of Hormuz at the [10:47.280 --> 10:51.800] mouth of the Persian Gulf, the wrath of one-fifth of the world's oil. [10:51.800 --> 10:57.080] However, Iran's foreign minister says the U.S.-led military drill in the Gulf shakes [10:57.080 --> 11:01.280] up the sensitive region and will be closely monitoring. [11:01.280 --> 11:07.840] Meanwhile, Iran will also hold a large-scale military drill involving all of its air defense [11:07.840 --> 11:12.960] systems from September the 21st to October the 21st. [11:12.960 --> 11:25.520] It will include fighter jets and simulate emergency situations. [11:25.520 --> 11:29.600] Back to this country, China's Ministry of Commerce has announced that the countermeasures [11:29.600 --> 11:35.680] to an EU investigation into Chinese-made solar products will be released by September the [11:35.680 --> 11:38.320] 17th at the latest. [11:38.320 --> 11:43.920] The EU announced earlier it will launch an investigation into imports of solar panels [11:43.920 --> 11:46.640] and key components from China. [11:46.640 --> 11:52.320] It also says provisional anti-dumping duties may be imposed within nine months. [11:52.320 --> 11:56.720] The lawsuit has been the largest in scale against China involving a value of more than [11:56.720 --> 11:59.400] 20 billion U.S. daughters. [11:59.400 --> 12:06.080] It involves more than 100 Chinese photovoltaic companies, if confirmed as anti-dumping. [12:06.080 --> 12:11.480] The companies will face a continuous anti-dumping tax within the next five years. [12:11.480 --> 12:16.800] China's photovoltaic products account for 74 percent of the total in European markets. [12:16.800 --> 12:22.280] A Commerce Ministry official said the solar panel dispute has evolved into a major problem. [12:22.280 --> 12:26.320] Putting China-EU economic and trade relations into test. [12:26.320 --> 12:32.600] But China does not want to see the case trigger wider disputes. [12:32.600 --> 12:37.520] To Europe, in Portugal, tens of thousands of people rallied against further austerity [12:37.520 --> 12:40.000] measures in the Troika. [12:40.000 --> 12:44.880] Since last week's new austerity measures were announced, people throughout the country have [12:44.880 --> 12:49.160] been expressing their anger over further sacrifices. [12:49.160 --> 12:53.800] Our correspondent, Julie Shire, has this report from Lisbon. [12:53.800 --> 12:58.680] They came in their thousands from the four corners of Lisbon. [12:58.680 --> 13:06.120] Young, old, employed, unemployed, rich or poor, there was no distinction, only one objective. [13:06.120 --> 13:15.640] To show the government that the country has had enough. [13:15.640 --> 13:21.520] The sense of frustration was overwhelming, more than 100,000 people marched holding homemade [13:21.520 --> 13:30.840] banners that read, we've had enough and chanted, this debt is not ours, IMF, get out of here. [13:30.840 --> 13:35.640] I'm here to protest against these kind of measures, I think it's enough. [13:35.640 --> 13:40.440] I was one of the people who supported them at the first place, but I think it's enough. [13:40.440 --> 13:51.040] I don't have employ now, and I will not have employ in the few months, I don't have future [13:51.040 --> 13:53.920] here, I don't have future. [13:53.920 --> 14:00.760] They are stealing from people that have no other measures and ways of living, so we all [14:00.760 --> 14:07.360] have to stand for them, we all have to stand here. [14:07.360 --> 14:11.880] The Portuguese are angry, they feel that they are being made to pay for the mistakes of [14:11.880 --> 14:13.280] the government. [14:13.280 --> 14:18.200] Since the country asked for a bailout of 78 billion euros last year, the Portuguese [14:18.200 --> 14:25.280] have seen wages frozen and taxes increased in order to bring down the country's deficit. [14:25.280 --> 14:30.600] Last week's announcement by the prime minister that sacrifices are still not enough and that [14:30.600 --> 14:43.000] further austerity is needed has intensified people's anger and sent out a national outcry. [14:43.000 --> 14:48.800] The demonstration went well into the night and protesters unexpectedly ended up in front [14:48.800 --> 14:50.080] of parliament. [14:50.080 --> 14:53.840] They were determined to make their voices heard, loud and clear. [14:53.840 --> 15:01.440] It's been a long protest that started peacefully, but as night has fallen, tempers have flared [15:01.440 --> 15:03.720] and the police is out. [15:03.720 --> 15:08.760] Protesters here have no intention yet of returning home, for they feel their message against [15:08.760 --> 15:12.440] the troika and austerity has not been heard. [15:12.440 --> 15:39.120] Julie Sharer, CCTV, in Lisbon, Portugal.
