[00:00.000 --> 00:05.800]  The agenda is the deployment of the B-22A spray aircraft in Okinawa, which has triggered
[00:05.800 --> 00:10.760]  massive protests in the region over safety concerns.
[00:10.760 --> 00:16.560]  The Pentagon has described the U.S.-Japan alliance as a cornerstone of its U.S.-Asia-Pacific
[00:16.560 --> 00:17.560]  engagement.
[00:17.560 --> 00:23.760]  After that, Panada will travel to China at the invitation of Defense Minister Liang Guangli.
[00:23.760 --> 00:28.920]  The Pentagon calls it an opportunity for increasing military cooperation with China.
[00:28.920 --> 00:33.960]  Panada is also expected to tell China that their relocating military resources to Asia
[00:33.960 --> 00:38.840]  Pacific is not meant to confront China.
[00:38.840 --> 00:44.720]  And for more about Leon Panada's Asian visit, we're now joined on the line by Mr. Liu Youfeng
[00:44.720 --> 00:47.600]  from the China Institute of International Studies.
[00:47.600 --> 00:49.200]  Well, good evening, Professor Liu.
[00:49.200 --> 00:54.720]  Could you tell us what is really behind the timing of Panada's visit to Japan this time
[00:54.720 --> 00:59.000]  as the row between China and Japan over the disputed islands is just on the rise?
[00:59.000 --> 01:06.440]  Well, we could see the disputes between Japan and China over Diaoyu Islands have almost
[01:06.440 --> 01:08.960]  come to the boiling point.
[01:08.960 --> 01:16.640]  The United States used to assure Japan that the security pact would take effect when Diaoyu
[01:16.640 --> 01:20.360]  Island would under attack, quote, unquote.
[01:20.360 --> 01:25.240]  For that matter, the two naval forces held the most long military exercises.
[01:25.240 --> 01:32.040]  However, when the current Japanese government staged the drama to purchase the Diaoyu Island,
[01:32.040 --> 01:39.700]  quote, unquote, Chinese side acted with tit for tat and implemented series of punitive
[01:39.700 --> 01:44.700]  actions to show China's sovereignty over the island.
[01:44.700 --> 01:51.880]  I am sure that more actions are in the pipeline should the Japanese side fail to come back
[01:51.880 --> 01:53.160]  to senses.
[01:53.160 --> 02:00.780]  Therefore, I can see that the U.S. Defense Secretary has to hurry to Tokyo in order to
[02:00.780 --> 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 --> 02:24.960]  This would surely be the last thing that the U.S. wanted when the January election is around
[02:24.960 --> 02:26.520]  the corner.
[02:26.520 --> 02:32.880]  Any further deterioration of the dispute would damage the U.S. pivotal to the Asian Pacific.
[02:32.880 --> 02:38.500]  After all, Diaoyu Island is not the priority in terms of the U.S. interests at the moment.
[02:38.500 --> 02:39.640]  Back to you, Mr. Joe.
[02:39.640 --> 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 --> 03:09.620]  My guess is the U.S. would want very much the disputes to maintain at the current level,
[03:09.620 --> 03:10.880]  at least.
[03:10.880 --> 03:18.720]  So my guess is the first and foremost mission for the Defense Secretary is to try to reaffirm
[03:18.720 --> 03:22.360]  the alliance relations between U.S. and Japan.
[03:22.360 --> 03:23.960]  That's what he has to do.
[03:23.960 --> 03:30.360]  But the Defense Secretary would also have to persuade the latter to act in caution vis-à-vis
[03:30.360 --> 03:33.280]  the disputes with China over Diaoyu Island.
[03:33.280 --> 03:38.560]  The second agenda I could guess is to have further discussion on the pending deployment
[03:38.560 --> 03:42.040]  of the military aircraft in Japan.
[03:42.040 --> 03:47.760]  And last but not least, maybe the U.S. would try to act as the kind of the mediator, quote
[03:47.760 --> 03:54.600]  unquote, in the bilateral contradiction between Japan and China, which has for long been the
[03:54.600 --> 03:59.160]  aim of the United States, to fish in the troubled water.
[03:59.160 --> 04:00.160]  Back to you, Mr. Joe.
[04:00.160 --> 04:01.160]  All right.
[04:01.160 --> 04:02.840]  Thank you very much, Mr. Liu, for your take on this.
[04:02.840 --> 04:08.880]  You're now watching CCTV News and coming up next on this program, storming the embassy's
[04:08.880 --> 04:18.520]  protests against the U.S. sparked by an anti-Islam film spread all over the world.
[04:18.520 --> 04:25.320]  And four U.S.-NATO troops die in a shooting by an Afghan police officer, the third attack
[04:25.320 --> 04:26.320]  in three days.
[04:26.320 --> 04:42.480]  Harbin Logistics, center of supply, Lingyi, Shandong, son of the sun, the chosen land
[04:42.480 --> 04:56.840]  of heaven, Erdos, same speed at different latitudes, consistent action at different
[04:56.840 --> 05:22.360]  latitudes, global service, Hangzhou, China, welcome to Luoyang, China.
[05:22.360 --> 05:29.000]  We can help better understand this region and its role.
[05:29.000 --> 05:35.000]  We show the decisions made, the accomplishments, and things people in Asia still hope to achieve.
[05:35.000 --> 05:41.200]  Not only that, we offer a wide mix of voting, from business and politics to culture, entertainment,
[05:41.200 --> 05:42.200]  and sport.
[05:42.200 --> 05:47.200]  Departments around the world, working to present news from a different perspective.
[05:47.200 --> 05:55.440]  We can be at the source where things are happening, and viewers can judge for themselves.
[05:55.440 --> 05:57.720]  The world is more integrated than ever.
[05:57.720 --> 06:03.840]  How well we go forward depends on how well we know each other.
[06:03.840 --> 06:07.840]  CCTV News, your link to Asia.
[06:07.840 --> 06:11.080]  We debate and discuss to push the envelope.
[06:11.080 --> 06:14.000]  China needs dialogue to facilitate integration.
[06:14.000 --> 06:15.800]  We call for deep, intellectual.
[06:15.800 --> 06:17.800]  Use it to unwind.
[06:17.800 --> 06:18.800]  Assertive.
[06:18.800 --> 06:21.800]  It is the fundamental problem.
[06:21.800 --> 06:22.800]  Level playing.
[06:22.800 --> 06:23.800]  Observant.
[06:23.800 --> 06:28.800]  In an age of multilateralism.
[06:28.800 --> 06:29.800]  Graceful.
[06:29.800 --> 06:30.800]  Universal elevation.
[06:30.800 --> 06:46.640]  This is dialogue where ideas do matter.
[06:46.640 --> 06:51.240]  Protests sparked by an anti-Islam film have spread to multiple countries.
[06:51.240 --> 06:57.400]  On Saturday, thousands of protesters demonstrated in front of the U.S. Embassy compound in Tunis.
[06:57.400 --> 07:04.600]  They tore down the American flag and raised an Islamic one while looting and burning 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 --> 07:14.640]  The clashes have left four dead and 49 injured.
[07:14.640 --> 07:20.680]  In Paris, some 250 demonstrators gathered outside the U.S. Embassy.
[07:20.680 --> 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 nonessential
[07:30.520 --> 07:36.160]  U.S. government personnel from its embassies in Sudan and Tunisia.
[07:36.160 --> 07:40.360]  It also issued travel warnings to American citizens.
[07:40.360 --> 07:47.640]  Meanwhile, Sudan has refused to allow the U.S. to send Marines to Khartoum.
[07:47.640 --> 07:53.520]  As Libyan investigators examined the inside of the American consulate in Benghazi following
[07:53.520 --> 07:59.480]  a last Tuesday's attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other embassy employees,
[07:59.480 --> 08:05.440]  witnesses say the cause of the death is unclear and that there is a lack of security when
[08:05.440 --> 08:09.960]  the attack happened.
[08:09.960 --> 08:13.280]  Entering the consulate, we can see a burnt car.
[08:13.280 --> 08:19.400]  The guard says on Tuesday the militants threw a grenade into the outside court of the building,
[08:19.400 --> 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 --> 08:32.560]  The militants are believed to have taken a number of items from the consulate.
[08:32.560 --> 08:37.640]  The guard says the ambassador did not die as a result of the rocket-propelled mortar
[08:37.640 --> 08:40.960]  attack that followed.
[08:40.960 --> 08:43.080]  The ambassador died of suffocation.
[08:43.080 --> 08:47.360]  He was not hit directly by the mortar attack.
[08:47.360 --> 08:50.000]  Moose lives very near to the consulate.
[08:50.000 --> 08:52.560]  His son is a witness to the attack.
[08:52.560 --> 08:57.120]  He says they went into the consulate the moment the militants left.
[08:57.120 --> 09:02.540]  Later they heard screaming and then found the ambassador on the floor of the washroom.
[09:02.540 --> 09:07.960]  So far, the Libyan government says they've made considerable progress in the investigation
[09:07.960 --> 09:13.380]  and have arrested many suspects but cannot release detailed information.
[09:13.380 --> 09:19.320]  To avoid disruption, Libya has stepped up the police presence at the consulate and tightened
[09:19.320 --> 09:21.960]  security around its perimeter.
[09:21.960 --> 09:22.960]  Lee Chien-Liu, CCTV.
[09:22.960 --> 09:25.600]  And now to Afghanistan.
[09:25.600 --> 09:30.160]  According to Afghan and international officials, at least one Afghan police officer turned
[09:30.160 --> 09:36.160]  his gun on NATO troops at a remote checkpoint in southern Afghanistan before dawn on Sunday.
[09:36.160 --> 09:40.740]  Four American members of the International Security Assistance Force were killed.
[09:40.740 --> 09:46.040]  It was the third recent attack by Afghan forces or insurgents disguised in military
[09:46.040 --> 09:49.000]  uniforms against international forces.
[09:49.000 --> 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 --> 09:57.740]  in recent months.
[09:57.740 --> 10:03.280]  The killings have imperiled the military partnership between Kabul and NATO.
[10:03.280 --> 10:10.220]  Many fear the anti-Islam film marking the Prophet Mohammed may further aggravate Afghan-U.S.
[10:10.220 --> 10:13.280]  relations.
[10:13.280 --> 10:17.660]  The United States and more than two dozen allies are gearing up for the largest naval
[10:17.660 --> 10:22.680]  exercise in the Mideast focused on countering the threat of anti-ship mines.
[10:22.680 --> 10:30.320]  While the maneuvers from 16 to 27 September will focus on a hypothetical extremist organization
[10:30.320 --> 10:35.280]  to prepare for threats that could block vital trade routes at sea.
[10:35.280 --> 10:41.240]  While U.S. Navy officials say the anti-mon exercise is not targeting any specific country
[10:41.240 --> 10:47.320]  nor about a response to Iranian threats to shut down the narrow Strait of Hormuz at the
[10:47.320 --> 10:51.840]  mouth of the Persian Gulf, the rat of one-fifth of the world's oil.
[10:51.840 --> 10:57.120]  However, Iran's foreign minister says the U.S.-led military drill in the Gulf shakes
[10:57.120 --> 11:01.280]  up the sensitive region and will be closely monitoring.
[11:01.280 --> 11:07.920]  Meanwhile, Iran will also hold a large-scale military drill involving all of its air defense
[11:07.920 --> 11:13.000]  systems from September 21 to October 21.
[11:13.000 --> 11:25.520]  It will include fighter jets and simulate emergency situations.
[11:25.520 --> 11:26.520]  Back to this country.
[11:26.520 --> 11:31.880]  China's Ministry of Commerce has announced that the countermeasures to an EU investigation
[11:31.880 --> 11:38.320]  into Chinese-made solar products will be released by September 17 at the latest.
[11:38.320 --> 11:43.960]  The EU announced earlier it will launch an investigation into imports of solar panels
[11:43.960 --> 11:46.680]  and key components from China.
[11:46.680 --> 11:52.360]  It also says provisional anti-dumping duties may be imposed within nine months.
[11:52.360 --> 11:56.720]  The lawsuit has been the largest in scale against China involving a value of more than
[11:56.720 --> 11:59.420]  20 billion U.S. dollars.
[11:59.420 --> 12:06.100]  It involves more than 100 Chinese photovoltaic companies if confirmed as anti-dumping.
[12:06.100 --> 12:11.520]  The companies will face a continuous anti-dumping tax within the next five years.
[12:11.520 --> 12:16.960]  China's photovoltaic products account for 74 percent of the total in European markets.
[12:16.960 --> 12:22.360]  A commerce ministry official said the solar panel dispute has evolved into a major problem,
[12:22.360 --> 12:26.360]  putting China-EU economic and trade relations into test.
[12:26.360 --> 12:32.640]  But China does not want to see the case trigger wider disputes.
[12:32.640 --> 12:37.560]  In Europe, in Portugal, tens of thousands of people rallied against further austerity
[12:37.560 --> 12:39.920]  measures and the Troika.
[12:39.920 --> 12:44.920]  Since last week's new austerity measures were announced, people throughout the country have
[12:44.920 --> 12:49.240]  been expressing their anger over further sacrifices.
[12:49.240 --> 12:53.120]  Our correspondent Julie Scheier has the support from Lisbon.
[12:53.120 --> 13:01.720]  They came in their thousands from the four corners of Lisbon, young, old, employed, unemployed,
[13:01.720 --> 13:02.720]  rich or poor.
[13:02.720 --> 13:08.240]  There was no distinction, only one objective, to show the government that the country has
[13:08.240 --> 13:09.240]  had enough.
[13:09.240 --> 13:18.200]  The sense of frustration was overwhelming.
[13:18.200 --> 13:25.280]  More than 100,000 people marched holding homemade banners that read, we've had enough, and chanted,
[13:25.280 --> 13:30.880]  this debt is not ours, IMF get out of here.
[13:30.880 --> 13:34.480]  I'm here to protest against these kind of measures.
[13:34.480 --> 13:35.680]  I think it's enough.
[13:35.680 --> 13:40.640]  I was one of the people who supported them in the first place, but I think it's enough.
[13:40.640 --> 13:50.120]  I don't have an employee now, and I will not have an employee in a few months.
[13:50.120 --> 13:52.600]  I don't have a future here.
[13:52.600 --> 13:53.960]  I don't have a future.
[13:53.960 --> 14:00.240]  They are stealing from people that have no other measures and ways of living.
[14:00.240 --> 14:02.920]  So we all have to stand for them.
[14:02.920 --> 14:05.920]  We all have to stand here.
[14:05.920 --> 14:06.920]  Education!
[14:06.920 --> 14:07.920]  Education!
[14:07.920 --> 14:08.920]  The Portuguese are angry.
[14:08.920 --> 14:13.200]  They feel that they are being made to pay for the mistakes of the government.
[14:13.200 --> 14:18.440]  Since the country asked for a bailout of 78 billion euros last year, the Portuguese have
[14:18.440 --> 14:25.320]  seen wages frozen and taxes increased in order to bring down the country's deficit.
[14:25.320 --> 14:30.640]  This week's announcement by the Prime Minister that sacrifices are still not enough and that
[14:30.640 --> 14:43.040]  further austerity is needed has intensified people's anger and sent out a national outcry.
[14:43.040 --> 14:48.840]  The demonstration went well into the night and protesters unexpectedly ended up in front
[14:48.840 --> 14:50.120]  of parliament.
[14:50.120 --> 14:55.560]  They were determined to make their voices heard loud and clear.
[14:55.560 --> 15:01.200]  It's been a long protest that started peacefully, but as night has fallen, tempers have flared
[15:01.200 --> 15:03.720]  and the police is out.
[15:03.720 --> 15:08.720]  Protesters here have no intention yet of returning home, for they feel their message against
[15:08.720 --> 15:12.440]  the Troika and austerity has not been heard.
[15:12.440 --> 15:17.160]  Julie Charest, CCTV, in Lisbon, Portugal.
[15:17.160 --> 15:19.680]  And that will do it for this edition of the News Update.
[15:19.680 --> 15:20.680]  Thanks for joining us.
[15:20.680 --> 15:50.400]  Good-bye for now.
