necessary and sufficient power. specifically they call for the creation of an amphibious brigades with in the ground self defense force the unit would quickly respond to an invasion of remote islands and retake them. the guidelines say. it should be equipped with fifty two amphibious vehicles and an increased number of destroyers and fighter aircraft the package costs for the introduction of seventeen osprey tilt rotor transport aircraft three dollars and ninety nine combat vehicles. the aim is to strengthen mobility and surveillance activities the guidelines say japanese leaders should assess the capability to respond to north korea's ballistic missile launch activities analysts see this as a reference to the possibility of a shift in policy that would allow them to strike in many cases. retired sts lieutenant general. no botha yamaguchi says the guidelines are designed to try to create a unified defence force

korean foreign ministry spokesperson told tale accuse japan of making unjustified territorial claims he said it's regrettable that japan continues to do so. despite repeated calls by south korea to stop. he also said it's unacceptable that japan calls for better ties while ignoring the historical issues. i know. north koreans have been marking the anniversary of the death of their former leader kim jong il died two years ago state television broadcast images of the memorial ceremony in pyongyang the son and successor of the former leader kim jong we sat on the podium flanked by other leaders sitting next to him was spent sitting next to kim was cheered me on an the director of the general political department of the army. he is said to be

playing a larger role in the leadership style and execution of the leaders. i call a town suntec last week john was the former vice chairman of the national defense commission. humility we will raise high the workers' parties with planting and dedicate ourselves to which i commanded you don't own and no one else. it was good later in the day kim and his wife visited the palace of the sun the final resting place of his father and grandfather. kim bow before the statues of his predecessors. keane geology is the wife of the executed town. she was not seen at the event she is the younger sister of the former leader state media have now reported anything about her since september ten. she is thought to have kept your political status despite her husband's execution. some reports say she is pale. earlier we spoke with rafael over associated press the senior video

journalist and tell him he has covered north korea for the past decade. today is not a holiday is not a tale that is the normal working day that will be sold this morning is that while that major events the main central memorial meeting was good holmes tossing about eleven o'clock in the morning yet the full box and won it was on the streets royal most is that today was like this that she came to a standstill this very very few cars on the streets and very few people about. from what i can understand they were mostly inside in their workplaces taking part in their own small memorial gathering some of them watching the event live on tv is well the actual setup and the kinds of speeches were fairly similar of course one of the main officials executed last week was an all the butts. apart from that the others rounds on the central stage with the samoa and i think that the full blossom events very

similar. however the contents of the speeches although some of the halves. intensifying the federation of the foliage that i and the need to intensely express loyalty to the present leader. to go in to teach olive pits the two flanking him on either side closest to him who is suddenly fixtures of the last two years can yield on the palm and had them once i didn't shed don't pay the vice marshal and headed up on these fiscal bureau and other sites the day of familiar faces. taylor hay was st is the puzzle envoy also be taken to wind to paging earlier this year that's some people noticed is being unlawful because it was in toronto a typist i did isn't pitching in the cost to the people. flanking him directly with familiar faces in all kinds of mention any kind of mention of the puzzle like to use. we could

conceive that other countries like a member of the royal family all kind of discussion is very rare in fights. basically you with the state of who really is something which people are intensely aware off of calls that at the same time it's not spoken about publicly however it is possible to say that when watching these events in general. people the general didn't pay close attention off familiar with the faces of the press nazis the eye and their relationships and in the privacy of that unfolds all of the private conversations on shoulder this is a topic that people are aware of. it's fair to say that such a shocking and came as a surprise. and whether it actually affects people's lives i think in the daily struggle to keep warm and find something to eat an older that the average person's concerns it doesn't have a direct effect the reports that people

relate it to him. all businesses are next to him might be affected. that could well be true. let's all levels which a probity must be removed from average everyday because his daily life. and this last weekend as well we did have the jaunts to sit down and told with a senior economic official hit a moose tracks that the country's economic policies should remain the same that nothing would change its attempts to develop its economy. even often last week's execution that was to raphael over ap senior video journalist and kelly gang experts and government officials in south korea have been following the day's events. they're looking for signs of change within the range game and each year old son of john reports from seoul. i recorded this image is from hudson city south korea. it's just ten km south of the river that separates it from him though. the answers about what they are people

hasn't completely lost favor but she didn't appear at the memorial ceremony for kim jong il because her husband james from eric was executed and she suffered a huge emotional trauma i'm also a north korean citizens would connect her with the execution you can tell he has lost power in terms of her position in the political structure of north korea. but in terms of relations by bloodlines she is the only living relative of kim jong hoon. and she will remain in place as a symbolic figure out. she will probably be given some type of honorary posts and remain behind the scenes in support of the administration of kim

jong un. much. other than that. and we expect that she is essentially lost all the for real political power and to come on. to keep up with it. it looked as though the mutilated team. the third and fourth generation of descendants of one of the revered group who rebelled against japan during the war the other way is referred to as the crown prince party in the e e are likely to be so according to kim jong hoon administration and said it'll still look again in two thousand and three the worst speaker motorists have announced more of what he thinks that the satellite killing markets courts in south korea will monitor developments closely with japan and the us. and
