a counter to growing threats from north korea and the expanding mites of china. it's scary. i'll say it. i'm scared to like everyone. we need the help of our neighbors. the japanese and our greatest alliance supported the united states close that ties between tokyo and so would also help washington's ambitions of maintaining a technological lead over china, such as in the production of strategically sensitive semiconductors. but japan, treatment of korean during world war 2, continues to cause anger here. the recruitment is so cold comfort women forced to work in military brussels still brings out protest as once a week, while other groups have demanded the japan apologizes to compensate the victims of both labor. controversial lee,

7:06 am
was intensely harassed by russian fighter jet. but it wasn't sure if the collision was deliberate. she hadn't fancy reports. for a 2nd day, us officials complained that they're reaper drain, crashed into the black sea as a result of what they say has become a pattern of reckless and unsafe behavior by russian fight, a joke, pilots in international airspace this time resulting in a collision. i just got off the phone with my russian counterpart minister showing as i said repeatedly, it's important that great powers be models of transparency and communication. and the united states will continue to fly and to operate wherever international law allows. this was the 1st phone call between the us defense secretary and his russian counterpart in 5 months. and it's notable the aftermath of the incident. both moscow and washington are emphasizing the need for dialog. nonetheless, russia disputes the u. s. account of the crash. the criminal says the drone had
7:07 am
switched off its transponder and was heading towards russian territory, collecting actionable military intelligence against russian forces for the ukraine war effort. its play, scramble to identify the aircraft and then response. the drone took a vase of action that led to its crash solution. it states that you have heard representatives of the pentagon and the joint chiefs of staff side. the united states will continue to fly wherever it pleases, in accordance with international law. but if you follow this logic, the space around the united states has the same status as the space over the black sea, much as with a drain itself. washington says it's deep under water and unlikely to be recovered by the u. s. military. as far as the loss of anything of sensitive intelligence, etc, as normal we would take and we did take mitigating measures. so we are quite confident that whatever, whatever was of value is no longer a value. russia says it will attempt to retrieve the drone despite the difficulties,
