11:05 am
a geopolitical sense. why is it important that japan and south korea enjoy good relations for various reasons, but the national security reason comes to my our minds as the 1st one, especially keeping in mind in my north korea's threat, you know, japan and south korea has to work together to work on the north korean missiles and nuclear weapons, brett, together, you know, going separate the ways it's point though it has diminished both sides capability to counter this kind of missile threats. and japan and korea and united states have to work with closely in dealing with this threat from coming from coming up in terms of north korea's laser said miss, i launch. what is the country trying to demonstrate right now? well, you know, north korea wants to be recognized as a power to be top to, to,
11:06 am
and they want to be invited to the table for negotiation. but while keeping their nuclear weapons. so, you know, because they have made it very clear that they want to keep their nuclear weapons, dana, that be invited to us, but they want to content to read shop the pensions, you know, to be paid attention to in a way. and you know, they want to be called upon for hawks. they what they have in mind at this point is not be nuclear dice, deeper asian rather obs control. recognizing north korea as a nuclear power. that's what they have in mind. and that's why they're thinking more of his actions continuously, almost daily basis. and, you know, try to provoke our site. right? so they, they say more or less i to why on north korea. but where do japan and south korea stand on china? well, china is a rising, brett and both countries recognize that. and so there is
11:07 am
a need who work together to counter china, japan, south korea standing along this the cannot deal with china as effectively as they can do together. so china is an important question. in addition to north korea, and that's why all the more the policy makers on both sides recognized greater need for cooperation, the trilateral cooperation between soul poco and much good. 30 professor many thanks to you for being with a speech a kim there in. so thank you. credit suisse has agreed to borrow up to $54000000000.00 from switzerland central bank. the european banking giants shares plunged to record lows on wednesday after its biggest glenda saudi national bank, so that it would not be able to provide more financial help. credit suisse troubles are being watched closely since the collapse of to us banks last weekend, which spark drops in european and us store pockets. kristen salumi reports now for

11:18 am
but already we can see the effects of that. so here's a forecasts on friday. look at this, not much activity in terms of precipitation going on across the country. so again, this is our 1st sign that lightening yet has collapsed, but let's paint the colors on darker, the red, the higher the temperature here will go on a bit of a tour. so from the kimberly to the outback. and look at that winds going through the outback that is acting as a conveyor belt of heat into new south wales state. and that pumps up the temperature in sidney to 30 degrees. so today 30 degrees in sydney, probably on friday. and this is our forecast on saturday, but if we take a look at the 3 day forecast, i think we'll squeeze out another 30 degree on sunday. and if that happens, adrian was talking about this record that would be 4 days of 30 degrees and above. in autumn for the 1st time in a 165 years. and then would you look at that, adrian? the showers move right back in on monday and that lower temperatures to about 25 degrees. so a short lived heat wave. jeffery, thanks

11:21 am
injured and more than 100000 houses, buildings have either collapse or heavily damaged in any way they are inhabitable. so now this to racial rain that caused that the heavy floods there is just adding to that disaster. i have been talking to the media off at the emmon and he the peak, the some very much horrific scenes that particular it's 10 cities that had been set up after the earthquakes dead. that is now the house for tens of thousands of the people who has lost their houses. that 10 cities are now under the water and they are bequeath, and that tense it is in the city of morality are in at the emmon and also in shallow france. well, however, when i asked them where these people are going to be taken to, we are talking about tens of thousands of people. the said that they're still trying to decide. so that said the can his country over the last one and a half months has seen a lot and particularly salt and turkey went to

11:24 am
question was left over from the office nuclear weapons program. it's not very dangerous in proliferation terms because it's, it totally unimed reached. you have to, you know, do a lot of concentration of the enrichment level to, to make it worthy of being used in a reactor and much more for a bomb. but probably somebody stole it, who thought it was valuable and, and that's why it went missing. the amount of material can be $2.00 ton sounds like a lot. and it could contribute to any country or non state actor that had a nuclear weapons program. but it wouldn't be enough to make the where with all of one bomb it's you need about 10 tons of natural uranium to then concentrate to producing of highly enriched uranium per box. so it's not that much material. the
11:25 am
idea doesn't track all yellow cake around the world, but they were tracking this yellow cake in libya because it had been part of a nuclear weapons program. so it has some special status attached to it. even though it's, you know, it wasn't a proliferation risk in and of itself. tens of thousands of people lost again in cities across france, in the latest attempt to stop pension reforms. it was the 8th round of protests against president americans plan to raise the retirement age from $62.00 to $64.00 . politicians have been working on the final wording of a bill which could be voted on this week. waste collectors are among those on strike in france, and that's left mountains of rubbish, port piling up on the streets of parish. they say the president crohn's plan to raise the retirement age. is unfair, given the tough working conditions. latasha butler report ludovic, his work to the street cleaner in paris for 6 years. he began on a garbage truck. now he's on foot. he loves his job,
