[00:00:37] Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Kochi reformed her cabinet today. Japanese media
[00:00:41] revealed the draft content of Japan's defense force enhancement plan.
[00:00:44] Under the trade dispute between the US and Canada, the Canadian Prime Minister visited
[00:00:48] Europe to expand cooperation, and the EU expressed its willingness to promote Canada
[00:00:51] as the first associate member. According to reporters, many European countries
[00:00:55] reacted coolly to Canada becoming an associate member of the EU.
[00:00:59] This
[00:01:32] is the first cabinet reshuffle since Kochi took office in October last year.
[00:01:36] The ruling partner of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, members of the Japan Innovation Party
[00:01:39] entered the cabinet for the first time in this reshuffle. The announced list of cabinet members
[00:01:43] shows that Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, Defense Minister
[00:01:47] Shinjiro Koizumi, Finance Minister Taro Aso
[00:01:51] and others retained their positions. Former mayor of the Innovation Party, Nakasuji Hiroshi,
[00:01:55] served as the Minister in charge of regulatory reform.
[00:01:58] So, this time the Japanese Prime Minister...
[00:02:30] Another point is that as Kochi's main competitor before, Hayashi Fangzheng,
[00:02:33] in this reshuffle, Kochi also excluded him to prevent him from shaking
[00:02:37] Kochi's governance within the government. In general, a major goal of Kochi's
[00:02:41] reshuffle this time is to consolidate his power base within the party through various
[00:02:45] interest exchanges. He is comprehensively planning for the Liberal Democratic Party presidential election in the autumn of 2027
[00:02:49] to achieve re-election and seek long-term governance. Another key point is that this time, Kochi's
[00:02:53] reshuffle focuses on the Innovation Party entering the cabinet.
[00:02:56] Currently, Kochi is facing challenges in consumer tax reduction
[00:04:00] On the 16th, the content of the draft plan for the preparation of defense
[00:04:03] forces was revealed. Let's take a look. In the five years from
[00:04:07] 2027 to 2031, the Japanese government plans to introduce about 52,000
[00:04:11] unmanned equipment for long-range strike, intelligence
[00:04:15] gathering and other tasks. In addition, including long-range cruise missiles, in order to strengthen
[00:04:19] the defense capability outside the range of enemy attacks, the estimated
[00:04:22] cost will exceed 9 trillion Japanese yen,
[00:04:26] which is about 389 billion Chinese yuan, close to.
[00:04:39] The total defense expenditure in the current plan for 2023 to 2027
[00:04:42] is about 4.3 trillion Japanese yen, which will show a significant
[00:04:46] increase compared to that. So, what are the specific contents
[00:04:50] revealed in this draft plan for the preparation of defense forces? What kind of ambitions
[00:04:54] does it reveal from Japan? Let's find out.
[00:04:56] 。
[00:05:05] observations so we've seen that there is a
[00:07:12] and around the naval port. So, such a stealthy attack
[00:07:16] is carried out. The second type of mission is to conduct long-range precision
[00:07:20] fire strikes. These large unmanned aerial vehicles will be equipped with
[00:07:23] some vertical launch systems, which can be used to load
[00:07:27] ground attack or anti-ship cruise missiles. These unmanned aerial vehicles
[00:07:31] with offensive capabilities can be said to be a highly
[00:07:35] provocative development plan for
[00:07:38] weapons and equipment. In terms of defense capabilities outside the range of attack, Japan plans to.
[00:07:59] Its goal is to first ensure one year's worth of supplies for sustained combat. For this purpose, ammunition, missiles, fuel and other materials will be stockpiled.
[00:08:03] In the future, the Self-Defense Forces and the Ministry of Defense will target hypersonic missiles for upgrades and
[00:08:07] range extension. So, for example, 25 is a blast bomb,
[00:08:11] then it needs to be replaced.
[00:08:42] but to strengthen the offensive capabilities of sobo. This will
[00:08:46] impact the peace and stability of the region,
[00:08:50] and it will also affect the security of the surrounding
[00:08:53] areas. It can be said that the intention of Japan's Self-Defense Forces
[00:08:57] to deploy troops abroad is becoming increasingly obvious,
[00:09:01] and relevant countries in the region should remain vigilant and concerned.
[00:09:05] 。
[00:09:10] You are watching International News.
[00:09:14] Let's turn our attention to Canada-EU relations.
[00:09:17] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a speech today
[00:09:21] at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, emphasizing the shared values
[00:09:25] and partnership that have long existed between Canada and the European Union, and
[00:09:29] calling for further strengthening of cooperation between the two sides. He said
[00:09:33] that Canada and the EU are not friends who only stand together
[00:09:36] in good times. Trudeau began a three-day visit to Europe on the 15th.
[00:09:40] In addition to the European Parliament,
[00:09:53] he met with French President Macron in France to discuss
[00:09:57] cooperation in aerospace, energy, critical minerals, satellites, artificial intelligence
[00:10:01] and other fields. Trudeau also became the first non-European head of
[00:10:05] state to be invited to attend European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's State
[00:10:09] of the Union address.
[00:10:12] On the 16th, at the European Parliament, when delivering the 2026 State of
[00:10:16] the Union address, she said that she is willing to work with Prime Minister
[00:10:20] Trudeau to make Canada the first associate member of the EU.
[00:10:24] ,
[00:11:58] the director of the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Trade Representative, along with other departments, to identify and take all legally permissible
[00:12:02] measures to exclude products originating from Canada from the
[00:12:05] federal civilian procurement system. The director of the White House Office of Management
[00:12:09] and Budget should also advise other departments on information
[00:12:13] about domestic alternative products in the United States. The U.S. President also instructed
[00:12:16] the U.S. Trade Representative to continue to monitor the treatment of U.S. products
[00:12:20] in the procurement processes of Canadian federal and provincial governments.
[00:12:24] The United States,
[00:12:40] So, regarding Ursula von der Leyen's push for Canada to become an associate member of the EU,
[00:12:44] what are the reactions of various European countries, and what are their voices and statements?
[00:12:48] Let's take a look at the observations and reports from our reporter Gu Xin
[00:12:52] from the front.
[00:13:08] However, over the past decade, the promotion process has been quite tortuous. Currently, there are still 10 EU member states that have not completed ratification.
[00:13:11] Against this background, Von der Leyen's proposal in the State of the Union
[00:13:15] address to make Canada the first associate member of the EU appears
[00:13:19] quite aggressive. Another phenomenon we noticed is that after
[00:13:22] the European Commission put forward this idea,
[00:13:32] the reaction from EU member states was not enthusiastic. Some member states were surprised by this idea, and some European parliamentarians even expressed on social media that on that day, the Canadian
[00:13:36] Prime Minister appeared at the event, while another EU leader, the President
[00:13:40] of the European Council, Costa, was absent. This reflects the
[00:13:44] current political reality of the EU. In addition,
[00:13:47] there is no official status of "associate member" in current EU
[00:13:51] law. What exactly does this idea mean for market access, policy participation, and rights?
[00:14:55] and Arctic cooperation even further. However, there is still a long way
[00:14:59] to go from proposal to true institutionalization.
[00:15:02] 。
[00:15:06] as well as the extent to which Canada will ultimately gain market access and policy participation
[00:15:10] rights, all require further negotiations. In other words, Von der Leyen
[00:15:13] opened a door today, but where this door ultimately leads
[00:15:17] is still unknown. Local
[00:15:20] time on the 16th, the Canadian Prime Minister's Office announced that Canadian Prime Minister
[00:15:24] Trudeau met with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson during his visit
[00:15:28] to the UK. Both sides emphasized the close bilateral relationship
[00:15:31] between Canada and the UK. Trudeau announced that Canada has officially applied
[00:15:35] to join the UK-led.
[00:15:53] However, Trudeau did not specify how Canada's participation in the joint expeditionary force will operate at a practical level. So, what are the respective demands of Canada and the EU approaching each other, what are their cooperation advantages,
[00:15:56] and what challenges do they face? What impact will
[00:16:00] it have on transatlantic relations? Let's look at today's
[00:16:04] information Q&A.
[00:16:19] Question 1: What are the respective demands of Canada and the EU
[00:16:23] as they draw closer? Currently, the EU and Canada
[00:16:27] are clearly trying to achieve a "grouping for warmth" effect
[00:16:30] in the face of current challenges by forming
[00:16:34] a so-called associate membership relationship. We are now at
[00:19:09] You are watching International News.
[00:19:12] The US Federal Reserve Board concluded
[00:19:16] its two-day monetary policy meeting on the 16th, announcing an increase
[00:19:19] in the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis
[00:19:23] points to 3.75%.
[00:19:26] This is the first interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve since July
[00:19:30] 2023, after more than three years. The White House expressed regret
[00:19:34] about this on the same day.
[00:19:36] The Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee unanimously agreed on the same day
[00:19:40] that the decision to raise interest rates was in line with market
[00:19:44] expectations. The Federal Reserve stated in a statement that inflation
[00:19:48] remains high, and today's monetary policy decision will support
[00:19:52] a faster return of inflation to the Federal Open Market Committee's 12% target.
[00:19:55] 。
[00:19:59] The Federal Reserve's economic forecast summary released
[00:20:03] on the same day showed that Federal Reserve officials slightly raised their forecast
[00:20:16] for the federal funds rate in 2027 and 2028 by 50 basis
[00:20:20] points. The three major U.S. stock indexes all closed down on the same day.
[00:20:23] White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said on the 16th
[00:20:27] that from the government's perspective, the Federal Reserve's decision to
[00:20:31] raise interest rates was quite regrettable. Subsequently,
[00:20:34] US President Donald Trump posted a message again.
[00:21:25] The Federal Reserve raised interest rates 11 times from March 2022 to
[00:21:29] July 2023 to cope with high inflation. As the economy
[00:21:33] cooled down, the Federal Reserve then implemented six interest
[00:21:36] rate cuts from September 2024 to December 2025. From January
[00:21:40] to July this year, it kept interest rates unchanged for five
[00:21:44] consecutive times. However, as the Middle East conflict continues, especially as energy
[00:21:48] prices remain high, more and more.
[00:22:50] if inflation remains sticky, it may continue to raise interest rates, but this is not
[00:22:54] a foregone conclusion. If core inflation, for example, clearly falls back, or
[00:22:58] oil prices fall back, or employment cools down, it may stop
[00:23:02] raising interest rates. The policy will be highly dependent on the
[00:23:05] data to come, and will not commit to continuous interest
[00:23:09] rate hikes. Interest rate hikes plus market expectations will be transmitted
[00:23:13] outwards through channels such as the U.S. dollar, U.S. Treasury yields, capital flows, and commodities. In the future, the U.S. dollar index
[00:23:17] may continue to strengthen. It needs to rise. The impact
[00:23:21] on emerging markets is actually the greatest. After the U.S. dollar strengthens,
[00:23:24] the pressure of local currency depreciation in emerging markets will increase, and import
[00:23:28] inflation will also rise. The rising cost of U.S. dollar
[00:23:32] debt refinancing will also make some economies with high foreign
[00:23:36] debt and weak foreign exchange reserves face increased risks. Some countries
[00:23:39] will also be forced to follow suit and raise interest rates, sacrificing their own growth to stabilize
[00:23:43] exchange rates. If inflation remains sticky and the Federal Reserve continues to raise
[00:23:47] interest rates, the risk of a global recession will increase significantly.
[00:23:51] If inflation falls back rapidly, the market will be able to
[00:23:55] recover more quickly. It should be said that the global market
[00:23:58] will enter a stage of high volatility. According to
[00:24:02] a report by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on the 16th, a recent study published in Scientific Reports
[00:24:05] confirmed that affected by climate warming, Canada's only ice
[00:24:09] shelf lake, the Milne Fjord ice shelf lake
[00:24:13] located within the Arctic Circle, has completely disappeared, and its
[00:24:17] unique water body structure, which has existed for thousands of years.
[00:24:31] The report states that for thousands of years, the Milne Ice Shelf acted like a natural ice dam, blocking the fjord's mouth and preventing glacial meltwater from entering the sea. The relatively less dense fresh water
[00:24:35] floats on top of the relatively denser seawater, forming a stable
[00:24:38] two-layer water body structure. The lake surface is covered by tens of centimeters of ice
[00:24:42] all year round, isolating wind disturbance, allowing the freshwater and saltwater layers to remain
[00:24:46] unmixed, and giving rise to two sets of almost non-overlapping microbial species.
[00:25:20] glaciers, which has raised global sea levels by about three centimeters. According to an Associated Press
[00:25:24] report on the 16th, this study published in the journal Science Data
[00:25:28] found that global warming is accelerating the melting of these two large
[00:25:32] ice caps. Five-sixths of the melting is not directly caused by rising
[00:25:36] air temperatures, but by warm ocean water eroding the ice
[00:25:40] cap from the bottom and sides, and glaciers constantly flowing into the
[00:25:44] ocean. Scientists said this will lead to rising sea levels, and rising
[00:25:47] sea levels will make coastal areas face more.
[00:25:52] so from our satellite
[00:25:55] clear trend and that the ice sheets are losing more mass
[00:25:59] and it has been increasing from
[00:26:02] decade. to decade, we know that every centimeter of silver
[00:26:05] rise matters, and that because for every centimeter of silver rise
[00:26:09] about two to three million people would be at first risk of
[00:26:13] annual
[00:26:14] flooding.

[00:30:33] Japanese Prime Minister Kishi today reshuffled the cabinet, and members of
[00:30:37] the Innovation Party entered the cabinet for the first time. How will this affect the future
[00:30:40] direction of Japanese politics? After a series of personnel adjustments, what are Kishi's
[00:30:44] political calculations? As the political trend in Okinawa changes,
[00:30:48] will it lead to the militarization of Japan's southwestern islands?
[00:30:52] Japanese media revealed the content of the draft plan for the defense
[00:30:56] force enhancement. What kind of military ambition does it reveal, and
[00:31:00] where will it push Japan?
