Politics › Japan To Expand Her Military, 'needs Marines And Drones' by Rex123(op): 9:35am On Jul 28, 2013

Japan's military is constitutionally limited to a
self-defence role.
But PM Shinzo Abe is looking to expand the
scope of its activities - potentially a highly
controversial move that would anger its
neighbours.
Japan is embroiled in a bitter row over islands
with China and is deeply concerned by North
Korea's nuclear ambitions.
The interim report is part of a defence review
ordered by Mr Abe, with final proposals due by
December.
On Sunday, Mr Abe won back control of Japan's
Upper House, meaning he now controls
parliament and would be in a stronger position
to reshape Japan's current defence strategy.
'Deter and respond'
Under Article 9 of its post-war constitution, Japan
is blocked from the use of force to resolve
conflicts except in the case of self-defence.
But Mr Abe has indicated he wants to re-examine
the role of Japan's military to meet the changing
security environment in the Asia-Pacific region.
"This will guide the focus of the direction that the
Self Defence Forces should be heading going
forward," Japanese Defence Minister Itsunori
Onodera said of the report.
Amphibious units that could be dispatched
quickly to remote islands were needed, the
report said, and surveillance equipment to detect
"at an early stage signs of changes in the security
situation".
The report also called for a strengthened ability
to "to deter and respond to ballistic missiles".
"Japan needs to enhance its ability to respond to
ballistic missile attacks in a comprehensive
manner," Kyodo news agency quoted the report
as saying.
But officials have been keen to emphasise that
this does not mean Japan is eyeing pre-emptive
strikes on enemy targets.
"It is necessary to consider whether we should
have the option to strike an enemy's missile
launch facilities," an unidentified defence
ministry official told Reuters news agency.
"But we are not at all thinking about initiating
attacks on enemy bases when we are not under
attack."
The move comes amid a raft of tensions and
potentially challenging security issues.
North Korea conducted what was widely seen as
a long-range missile test in December 2012 and
followed up with its third test of a nuclear device
in February 2013.
China, meanwhile, is locked in a dispute with
Japan over East China Sea islands known as
Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.
Japan controls the islands but Chinese ships have
been sailing in and out of what Japan says are its
territorial waters since late last year, as tensions
increased.
On Wednesday Japan scrambled fighter jets after
a Chinese government plane flew in international
air space near the islands.
China said it was on a routine training mission;
Mr Abe said it was "an unusual action that we
have never seen before".
Japan has also voiced concern over increases in
China's military spending, accusing Beijing of a
lack of transparency.

marines and drones'

Car Talk › Car Hackers Use Laptop To Control Standard Car by Rex123(op): 7:02pm On Jul 27, 2013

Next time you have a passenger in the back
seat of your car offering infuriatingly
"helpful" advice about your driving skills,
count yourself lucky that they aren't doing
anything more sinister in their attempts to
guide your vehicle.
Two security experts in the US have
demonstrated taking control of two popular
models of car, while someone else was driving
them, using a laptop.
Speaking to the BBC ahead of revealing their
research at security conference Defcon in Las
Vegas in August, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek
said they hoped to raise awareness about the
security issues around increasingly computer-
dominated car control.
"At the moment there are people who are in the
know, there are nay-sayers who don't believe it's
important, and there are others saying it's
common knowledge but right now there's not
much data out there," said Mr Miller, a security
engineer at Twitter.
"We would love for everyone to start having a
discussion about this, and for manufacturers to
listen and improve the security of cars."
Their work, funded by the Pentagon's research
facility Darpa, has so far received a mixed
reaction from the manufacturers themselves.
How they did it
The researchers used cables to connect the
devices to the vehicles' electronic control units
(ECUs) via the on-board diagnostics port (also
used by mechanics to identify faults) inside a
2010 model Ford Escape and Toyota Prius.
Contained within most modern vehicles, ECUs
are part of the computer network that controls
most aspects of car functionality including
acceleration, braking, steering, monitor displays
and the horn.
The pair were able to write software which sent
instructions to the car network computer and
over-rode the commands from the actual drivers
of the cars.
They filmed themselves in the back of one of the
vehicles steering it left and right, activating the
brakes and showing the fuel gauge drop to zero,
all while the vehicle was under driver control
and in motion.
A spokesman for Toyota told the BBC that
because the hardware had to be physically
connected inside the car, he did not consider it to
be "hacking".
"Altered control can only be made when the
device is connected. After it is disconnected the
car functions normally," he said.
"We don't consider that to be 'hacking' in the
sense of creating unexpected behaviour, because
the device must be connected - ie the control
system of the car physically altered.
"The presence of a laptop or other device
connected to the OBD [on board diagnostics] II
port would be apparent."

Health › South African Chef 'too Fat' To Live In New Zealand by Rex123(op): 6:48pm On Jul 27, 2013

Authorities in New Zealand have told a South
African chef he is too fat to be allowed to live
in the country.
Immigration officials said Albert Buitenhuis, who
weighs 130kg (286 pounds), did not have "an
acceptable standard of health".
He now faces expulsion despite shedding 30kg
since he moved to the city of Christchurch six
years ago.
New Zealand has one of the highest obesity rates
in the developed world, with nearly 30% of
people overweight.
Mr Buitenhuis and his wife, Marthie, moved from
South Africa to Christchurch in 2007. At the time,
the chef weighed 160kg.
Until now, their annual work visas had been
renewed with "very little problem", his wife said.
"We applied year after year and there were no
issues," she said.
"They never mentioned Albert's weight or his
health once and he was a lot heavier then."
But in early May, the couple was told their work
visas had been declined because of Mr
Buitenhuis's weight.
"The irony is that at the moment he weighs less
than when we first arrived in New Zealand and
also less than in his first medical, which was
accepted by [immigration authorities]," his wife
said.
The couple has appealed to New Zealand's
immigration minister, citing the chef's recent
weight loss.
An immigration spokesman said Mr Buitenhuis's
application had been rejected because his obesity
put him at "significant risk" of complications
including diabetes, hypertension and heart
disease.
"It is important that all migrants have an
acceptable standard of health to minimise costs
and demands on New Zealand's health services,"
he said.

Foreign Affairs › Chinese Toddler Dies After Parking Space Row. by Rex123(op): 6:38pm On Jul 27, 2013

A Chinese toddler has died in a Beijing hospital after being wounded during a row between her mother and a man over a parking space, state media report.

They say the two-year-old girl suffered critical injuries on Tuesday when the man pulled her out of her pram and threw her to the ground.

He also reportedly beat the mother, who had refused to make way for his car, while she attended to her daughter.

The driver was arrested. He could face execution if he is tried for murder.

Police also detained a second man in the case, who was allegedly a passenger in the car and helped beat up the woman.

The toddler died on Thursday night after being kept alive on a respirator, Chinese state media said on Saturday.

The assault happened when a man, identified only by his surname Han, wanted to park his car by a bus stop in Beijing.

But the toddler's mother was standing in the parking spot and refused to move her pram.

The driver got out of his car and hit the woman before removing her daughter from the pram and throwing her forcefully to the ground, a witness said.

"The baby made no noises after being dropped, not even a cry of pain," the Beijing Times quoted the witness as saying.

shymexx: All the nations on the UN security council have the might(most esp. China and Russia) to do that, but most times choose to abide by international laws...

By saying "might is right" that means slavery, colonisation, and Nazi Germany's annihilation of the Jews were right, no?? That might be true during the medieval ages... However, it has no place in the modern world after a new-world-order was signed by all with the created of the UN, post-world War 2...Which means you're going against the ethics of why the UN was created... and the UN charter that describes every independent country as the same under international laws... Also, every country's sovereignty must be respected at all times...

Might is right would definitely make Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, and the Serbs' invasion of Kosovo right, no?? If so, why did the UN Security Council support a resolution to help the weaker countries in this context by using Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter as a pretext for that??

Article 51 of Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter:
"Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security."

^^^^Perhaps NK is exercising its rights to self-defence with US' B-2 nuclear bombers and its never ending military exercises near its borders..

You have a very sound argument. But what you should realise is that the international system is in a state of anarchy, there is no centre authority . Although states are bound by international law since they are signatories, they can also break it at will. Might is right in the international system that why most of this states re playing †ђξ power politics. Let me here refer to your statement on why †ђξ rest of †ђξ members of †ђξ security council don't flout UN resolutions. No member of †ђξ security council has †ђξ support †ђξ American government has.
