[00:00.000 --> 00:06.400]  agenda is the deployment of the B-22 spray aircraft in Okinawa, which has triggered massive
[00:06.400 --> 00:10.760]  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, Panetta 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]  Panetta 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 Liang Panetta's Asian visit, we now join on the line by Mr. Liu Youfeng
[00:44.720 --> 00:47.520]  from the China Institute of International Studies.
[00:47.520 --> 00:49.200]  Well, good evening, Professor Liu.
[00:49.200 --> 00:54.760]  Could you tell us what is really behind the timing of Panetta's visit to Japan this time,
[00:54.760 --> 00:59.040]  as the row between China and Japan over disputed islands is just on the rise?
[00:59.040 --> 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 --> 01:16.680]  The United States used to assure Japan that the security pact would take effect when Diaoyu
[01:16.680 --> 01:19.760]  Islands would under attack, quote and unquote.
[01:19.760 --> 01:25.280]  For that matter, the two naval forces held amongst long military exercises.
[01:25.280 --> 01:32.000]  However, when the current Japanese government staged the drama to purchase the Diaoyu Islands,
[01:32.000 --> 01:39.680]  quote and unquote, Chinese side acted with tit for tat and implemented series of punitive
[01:39.680 --> 01:44.680]  actions to show China's sovereignty over the island.
[01:44.680 --> 01:51.360]  And I can, I am sure that more actions are in the pipeline should the Japanese side fail
[01:51.360 --> 01:53.240]  to come back to senses.
[01:53.240 --> 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 general election is around
[02:24.960 --> 02:26.500]  the corner.
[02:26.500 --> 02:31.720]  Any further deterioration of the disputes would damage the U.S. pivotal to the Asian
[02:31.720 --> 02:32.720]  Pacific.
[02:32.720 --> 02:38.520]  After all, Diaoyu Island is not the priority in terms of the U.S. interest at the moment.
[02:38.520 --> 02:39.520]  Back to you, Mr. Joe.
[02:39.520 --> 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 U.S. 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 U.S. and Japan.
[03:22.360 --> 03:23.960]  That's what he has to do.
[03:23.960 --> 03:30.280]  But the defense secretary would also have to persuade the latter to act in caution vis-à-vis
[03:30.280 --> 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 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 --> 03:58.720]  aim of the United States to fish in the troubled water.
[03:58.720 --> 03:59.960]  Back to you, Mr. Joe.
[03:59.960 --> 04:00.960]  All right.
[04:00.960 --> 04:03.040]  Thank you very much, Mr. Liu, for your take on this.
[04:03.040 --> 04:04.840]  You're now watching CCTV News.
[04:04.840 --> 04:11.440]  And coming up next on this program, storming the embassy's protests against the U.S., sparked
[04:11.440 --> 04:18.520]  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 --> 04:29.840]  in three days.
[04:29.840 --> 04:42.480]  Harbin Logistics, center of supply, Lingyi, Shandong, sun of the sun, the chosen land
[04:42.480 --> 04:45.720]  of heaven, Erdos.
[04:45.720 --> 04:56.600]  Same speed at different latitudes, consistent action at different time, Hangzhou outsourcing
[04:56.600 --> 05:01.800]  global service, Hangzhou, China.
[05:01.800 --> 05:11.880]  Welcome to Luoyang, China.
[05:11.880 --> 05:24.920]  A new Asia has emerged.
[05:24.920 --> 05:29.080]  We can help better understand this region and its role.
[05:29.080 --> 05:34.880]  We show the decisions made, the accomplishments, and things people in Asia still hope to achieve.
[05:34.880 --> 05:40.560]  Not only that, we offer a wide mix of world news, from business and politics to culture,
[05:40.560 --> 05:41.560]  entertainment and sport.
[05:41.560 --> 05:46.560]  In a correspondence around the world, we're being to present news from a different perspective.
[05:46.560 --> 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 --> 06:03.800]  How well we go forward depends on how well we know ourselves.
[06:03.800 --> 06:07.440]  CCTV New, your link to Asia.
[06:07.440 --> 06:10.760]  We debate and discuss to push the envelope.
[06:10.760 --> 06:13.960]  China needs dialogue to facilitate integration.
[06:13.960 --> 06:16.400]  We call for deep, intellectual...
[06:16.400 --> 06:17.400]  Use its yuan.
[06:17.400 --> 06:18.400]  Assertive.
[06:18.400 --> 06:23.400]  It is the fundamental problem.
[06:23.400 --> 06:24.400]  Level-playing.
[06:24.400 --> 06:25.400]  Observant.
[06:25.400 --> 06:28.400]  In an age of multilateralism.
[06:28.400 --> 06:29.400]  Graceful.
[06:29.400 --> 06:30.400]  Universal elevation.
[06:30.400 --> 06:46.200]  This is Dialogue, where ideas do matter.
[06:46.200 --> 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 compound in Tunis.
[06:57.400 --> 07:02.760]  They tore down the American flag and raised an Islamic one, while looting and burning
[07:02.760 --> 07:04.560]  buildings.
[07:04.560 --> 07:09.000]  Protesters also attacked a neighboring American school, burning school buses and storming
[07:09.000 --> 07:12.240]  classrooms and teaching facilities.
[07:12.240 --> 07:18.440]  The clashes have left four dead and 49 injured in Paris, some 250 demonstrators gathered
[07:18.440 --> 07:20.880]  outside the U.S. Embassy.
[07:20.880 --> 07:25.880]  Local police broke up the demonstration, briefly detaining 150 people.
[07:25.880 --> 07:30.640]  The U.S. State Department has ordered the departure of all family members and non-essential
[07:30.640 --> 07:36.160]  U.S. government personnel from its embassies in Sudan and Tunisia.
[07:36.160 --> 07:40.040]  It also issued travel warnings to American citizens.
[07:40.040 --> 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 --> 07:59.520]  a last Tuesday's attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other embassy employees,
[07:59.520 --> 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 --> 08:19.440]  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 --> 08:32.560]  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 --> 08:41.000]  attack that followed.
[08:41.000 --> 08:43.080]  The ambassador died of suffocation.
[08:43.080 --> 08:47.320]  He was not hit directly by the mortar attack.
[08:47.320 --> 08:50.000]  Moos 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 --> 09:13.360]  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 --> 09:22.000]  security around its perimeter.
[09:22.000 --> 09:23.000]  Bijan Lu, CCTV.
[09:23.000 --> 09:28.960]  And as Afghanistan, according to Afghan and international officials, at least one Afghan
[09:28.960 --> 09:34.160]  police officer turned his gun on NATO troops at a remote checkpoint in southern Afghanistan
[09:34.160 --> 09:36.200]  before dawn on Sunday.
[09:36.200 --> 09:40.760]  Four American members of the International Security Assistance Force were killed.
[09:40.760 --> 09:46.620]  It was the third recent attack by Afghan forces or insurgents disguised in military uniforms
[09:46.620 --> 09:49.240]  against international forces.
[09:49.240 --> 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 --> 10:10.360]  Many fear the anti-Islam film marking the Prophet Mohammed may further aggravate Afghan-U.S.
[10:10.360 --> 10:13.280]  relations.
[10:13.280 --> 10:17.640]  The United States and more than two dozen allies are gearing up for the largest naval
[10:17.640 --> 10:23.400]  exercise in the Mideast focused on countering the threat of anti-ship mines.
[10:23.400 --> 10:30.360]  The maneuvers from 16th to 27th of September will focus on a hypothetical extremist organization
[10:30.360 --> 10:35.240]  to prepare for threats that could block vital trade routes at sea.
[10:35.240 --> 10:41.240]  But U.S. Navy officials say the anti-mine exercise is not targeting any specific country
[10:41.240 --> 10:47.280]  nor about a response to Iranian threats to shut down the narrow strait of Hormuz at the
[10:47.280 --> 10:51.880]  mouth of the Persian Gulf, the route of one-fifth of the world's oil.
[10:51.880 --> 10:57.160]  However, Iran's foreign minister says the U.S.-led military drill in the Gulf shakes
[10:57.160 --> 11:01.400]  up the sensitive region and will be closely monitoring.
[11:01.400 --> 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 the 21st to October the 21st.
[11:13.000 --> 11:25.560]  It will include fighter jets and simulate emergency situations.
[11:25.560 --> 11:26.560]  Back to this country.
[11:26.560 --> 11:31.900]  China's Ministry of Commerce has announced that the countermeasures to an EU investigation
[11:31.900 --> 11:38.340]  into Chinese-made solar products will be released by September the 17th at the latest.
[11:38.340 --> 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 --> 11:59.400]  20 billion U.S. dollars.
[11:59.400 --> 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 --> 12:17.360]  China's photovoltaic products account for 74 percent of the total in European markets.
[12:17.360 --> 12:22.480]  Commerce Ministry officials said the solar panel dispute has evolved into a major problem,
[12:22.480 --> 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]  After Europe, in Portugal, tens of thousands of people rallied against further austerity
[12:37.560 --> 12:39.840]  measures in the Troika.
[12:39.840 --> 12:44.920]  Since last week's new austerity measures were announced, people throughout the country have
[12:44.920 --> 12:49.160]  been expressing their anger over further sacrifices.
[12:49.160 --> 12:53.200]  Our correspondent Julie Shire has this report from Lisbon.
[12:53.200 --> 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 --> 13:08.120]  There was no distinction, only one objective, to show the government that the country has
[13:08.120 --> 13:15.680]  had enough.
[13:15.680 --> 13:18.200]  The sense of frustration was overwhelming.
[13:18.200 --> 13:24.320]  More than 100,000 people marched holding homemade banners that read, we have had enough and
[13:24.320 --> 13:30.840]  chanted this debt is not ours, IMF get out of here.
[13:30.840 --> 13:34.400]  I'm here to protest against these kind of measures.
[13:34.400 --> 13:35.640]  I think it's enough.
[13:35.640 --> 13:40.480]  I was one of the people who supported them in the first place, but I think it's enough.
[13:40.480 --> 13:50.080]  I don't have an employee now and I will not have an employee in a few months.
[13:50.080 --> 13:53.920]  I don't have a future here, I don't have a future.
[13:53.920 --> 14:00.200]  They are stealing from people that have no other measures and ways of living.
[14:00.200 --> 14:02.880]  So we all have to stand for them.
[14:02.880 --> 14:07.360]  We all have to stand here.
[14:07.360 --> 14:11.920]  The Portuguese are angry they feel that they are being made to pay for the mistakes of
[14:11.920 --> 14:12.920]  the government.
[14:12.920 --> 14:18.400]  Since the country asked for a bailout of 78 billion euros last year, the Portuguese have
[14:18.400 --> 14:25.280]  seen wages frozen and taxes increased in order to bring down the country's deficit.
[14:25.280 --> 14:30.520]  Last week's announcement by the prime minister that sacrifices are still not enough and that
[14:30.520 --> 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 --> 14:56.280]  They were determined to make their voices heard, loud and clear.
[14:56.280 --> 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 --> 15:08.720]  Protesters here have no intention yet of returning home, for they feel their message against
[15:08.720 --> 15:12.480]  the Troika and austerity has not been heard.
[15:12.480 --> 15:17.160]  Julie Scharer, CCTV, in Lisbon, Portugal.
[15:17.160 --> 15:19.720]  And that will do it for this edition of the News Update.
[15:19.720 --> 15:20.720]  Thanks for joining us.
[15:20.720 --> 15:50.200]  Goodbye for now.
[16:20.720 --> 16:47.000]  Thank you.
