00:30And we'll show you how some high school students here in Japan are building a future for children in Laos.
00:40We begin with news out of the U.S. state of Oregon.
00:43Three children and a teacher were killed when a 16-year-old opened fire at an elementary school.
00:50Police in the city of Bend said the children who died were aged 5, 8 and 11,
00:55while a 7-year-old child and another teacher were in critical condition.
01:01Police said they received reports that someone had entered the school and opened fire on Thursday afternoon.
01:09They believe the shooter gained access after firing at a locked door.
01:13The local police chief said the suspect was shot dead at the scene by a person he described as a
01:20community member.
01:20More than 400 children attend the school.
01:24Police are investigating if there were any links between the suspect and the school.
01:30Bend has a population of about 100,000 and is located about 280 kilometers southeast of Portland, Oregon's largest city.
01:40The interim government in Yemen says Houthi rebels have attacked the presidential palace in the southern city of Aden, causing
01:47fatalities.
01:48Fighting is intensifying in Yemen as forces of the Saudi-backed interim government and anti-government Houthis continue to exchange
01:56fire.
01:58The government said Houthi missiles and drones struck the facility on Thursday.
02:03It also said members of the cabinet are safe.
02:05Earlier, the Houthis claimed they had struck Saudi Arabia's military operations headquarters in Aden.
02:11The attack on the major city where the interim government is based raises concerns about a further escalation of fighting.
02:18A spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition acknowledged on Thursday the Houthis had launched 20 attacks on the international airport
02:26in the Saudi capital of Riyadh this month.
02:28The official said the strikes between October 7th and 11th killed 17 people and injured more than 300.
02:35But the spokesperson said the coalition had destroyed numerous Houthi targets in the past few days, including 127 storage facilities
02:44in mountainous areas.
02:46The conflict is taking a severe toll.
02:48The World Food Programme says 800,000 people in Yemen are unable to receive humanitarian assistance.
02:56Next, the number of foreign residents in Japan has hit a record high.
03:01Government data show it had risen to about 4.28 million at the end of June.
03:07The Immigration Services Agency says that was a rise of about 155,600 since the end of December.
03:15By category, permanent residents topped the list at about 961,300.
03:21They were followed by engineers and specialists in humanities and international services at about 516,200.
03:30And by country of origin, about 941,000 were from China and about 693,800 from Vietnam.
03:39South Korea and the Philippines were also high on the list.
03:44The Japan Meteorological Agency has issued, then canceled, an emergency earthquake warning.
03:52The agency issued the warning around 12.40 p.m. Friday, saying a strong earthquake had been detected.
04:00It was estimated to affect numerous regions across northern and central Japan.
04:06But around 12.48, the JMA announced it was canceling the warning.
04:11The agency said an earthquake did occur near the Kamchatka Peninsula.
04:16But in Hakodate City in Hokkaido, it registered an intensity of 1 on the Japanese seismic scale of 0 to
04:237,
04:23not strong enough to cause widespread shaking in Japan.
04:28The JMA also says there's no risk of tsunami.
04:31It's investigating what happened.
04:35The JMA later apologized for issuing the warning incorrectly.
04:42We issued an earthquake early warning that overstated the expected severity of the shaking
04:47because we overestimated the earthquake's magnitude.
04:50We sincerely apologize for the significant inconvenience and concern this has caused.
04:58The official also said there was no information indicating a cyber attack.
05:12Moving on now to the business headlines.
05:15G20 finance ministers and central bank governors wrapped up talks in Bangkok on Thursday.
05:20The main focus of the meeting was risks to the global economy,
05:24but the delegates concluded the discussions without a joint statement.
05:27The participants reportedly voiced concerns over the impact of inflation and rising interest rates.
05:33This stems from factors such as high crude oil prices.
05:36They also reportedly pointed out the possible negative impact
05:40sophisticated AI models could have on the financial system if they're misused.
05:45Japanese finance minister Katayama Satsuki attended the meeting.
05:49She reaffirmed the G20's view excessive fluctuation in the currency market
05:54would adversely affect the economy.
05:56She reportedly went on to note the need to closely monitor financial markets.
06:02The European Union is set to drastically cut the number of imported Chinese hybrid cars from December.
06:09The move is part of stepped-up efforts to protect local industries from Chinese competition.
06:14EU leaders are meeting in Brussels for a two-day summit from Thursday.
06:18The bloc's massive trade deficit with China is a major topic.
06:22The European Commission has agreed with China to limit imports of Chinese hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles for four
06:29years.
06:30The EU is projected to import about 800,000 such vehicles this year.
06:35But under the plan, the number will be slashed by more than half to 350,000 in the first year
06:41of the cap.
06:42It will be increased by 6% annually from the second year.
06:46The EU in 2024 introduced additional tariffs of up to 35.3% on cheap electric vehicles from China.
06:55But the bloc has seen a surge in its imports of hybrid and other cars that are not subject to
07:01the duties.
07:03The records keep flowing for Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturing company.
07:08The world's biggest contract chipmaker posted its highest-ever quarterly sales and net profit for the period through September, fueled
07:15by unrelenting demand for AI.
07:19TSMC says sales jumped more than 50% from the same period last year, hitting $1.49 trillion new Taiwan
07:27dollars.
07:27That's almost $47 billion U.S.
07:30Net income increased even more, surging by around 69% to nearly $24 billion U.S.
07:38TSMC expects demand will keep growing, despite doubts over the future of the AI and chip industries.
07:45All I can say right now is the demand is extremely robust.
07:53And we did not see any sign of slowdown.
07:58The TSMC chairman said plans for the company's second plant in Japan's Kumamoto Prefecture are proceeding to schedule.
08:05And he revealed the company is also considering Texas alongside Arizona as a candidate for a U.S. production base.
08:14Next, hydroponic growing systems used to involve a technical approach to agriculture.
08:20But recent advances have greatly simplified the process, including fully self-contained units,
08:26allowing both companies and individuals quicker access to nutritious produce at the flick of a switch.
08:35Located in downtown Fukuoka, the headquarters of this power company sits atop a unique new project.
08:44In the basement of the building, right where the employee cafeteria used to be, you'll find an indoor farm.
08:56With this hydroponic system, vegetables can be grown almost anywhere, without any experience needed.
09:03One of the company's subsidiaries decided to implement it, seeing it as a way to achieve quick results, as well
09:09as to help meet local demand.
09:12Setup is simple.
09:13Each unit just needs to be plugged into an outlet and have water added.
09:17The LED lights turn on and off automatically on a set schedule, and the water is circulated constantly.
09:25The farm is run by a crew of 10, all of whom are people with disabilities.
09:32The staff say they enjoy the work and take pride in growing and harvesting fresh vegetables in the middle of
09:39the city.
09:41I had never grown anything until joining.
09:44It's not that difficult, and I find it really interesting.
09:49Lettuce, basil, mustard greens, and more are grown completely pesticide-free and can be harvested in as little as two
09:57weeks.
09:57Every month, 4,000 plants are shipped to nearby supermarkets and other clients.
10:05It doesn't require any training and can be operated using the exact same process every day.
10:11Almost everything runs automatically until harvest time, so the work itself is extremely easy.
10:20A nearby luxury hotel restaurant has introduced a miniaturized version.
10:25Small enough to be placed on a customer's table.
10:33Today, the chef has chosen to garnish his dishes with dandelion leaf, known for its deep bitterness, and brightly colored
10:40amaranth.
10:44They aren't really vegetables you see in regular supermarkets.
10:49Our customers will often notice them and say, I'd love to give those a try.
10:56The hydroponic units were developed by Kunimura Junta, whose company sells and leases the units, as well as a variety
11:03of seeds.
11:08Over 25,000 varieties of herbs and leafy greens can be grown.
11:14The optimal light and fertilizer settings for each variety is pre-programmed into the system.
11:21It's even possible to adjust the wavelength and intensity of the lights, as well as the type and amount of
11:27fertilizer being used.
11:28This lets clients change the color and even the flavor profile of their vegetables.
11:34They often say that the average shipping distance for produce in Japan right now is around 1,000 kilometers.
11:40By the time they reach retailers, they've lost some freshness, yet still cost quite a bit.
11:45We came up with a system that counteracts those issues by letting people grow their own produce locally.
11:53All right, and that's a wrap for the Biz Corner for this week.
11:58One of Japan's top voice actors say more needs to be done to protect their work from A.I.
12:04A group representing actors has released new guidelines in a bid to tackle the issue.
12:11Nozawa Masako is best known as the voice of Son Goku, the hero of popular Dragon Ball anime.
12:17In an interview with NHK, she watched an A.I.-generated video built off her voice.
12:38The Japanese actors' union says it's a rampant issue, and it released guidelines for recreating someone's voice using A.I.
12:47They say actors and their management must be consulted before their work is fed into A.I.
12:54If the goal is to recreate their voices for other languages, then approval must be given for each language.
13:01As for the deceased, it says their wills must be respected and their families must consent.
13:08The union also outlined what will happen to those who break these rules.
13:12It says it will immediately stop the distribution of unauthorized A.I. versions, and it will seek compensation.
13:20How much would depend on sales figures from when the unauthorized A.I. use began.
13:27Nozawa is vice chair of the union.
13:30She hopes the next generation of voice actors won't be dissuaded by A.I.
13:53She said she hopes everyone will follow the new rules so humans and A.I. can co-exist.
14:02Next, an update on the school roof collapse in Pakistan that killed dozens of people.
14:07Traa Tirako-san at our bureau in Bangkok has the details on that and other stories.
14:11Traa.
14:14Thousands of people have gathered for prayers in northwestern Pakistan following Thursday's school roof collapse that left at least 30
14:23dead.
14:25A mass funeral was held for the victims as the neighborhood struggled to come to terms with the tragedy.
14:37The incident occurred at a private school in Peshawar during morning classes.
14:42The roof gave way, bringing down the ceilings of classrooms below and trapping students under the rubble.
14:49Local hospitals say at least 30 children and a teacher were killed and more than 50 were injured.
14:58The accident happened in the second grade classroom.
15:01The kindergarten class was above us.
15:04We were sitting and studying when the ceiling suddenly caved in.
15:08We ran outside.
15:09The children inside were screaming.
15:13Local officials say all the children who died were age 14 or younger.
15:19Authorities say it's the deadliest building collapse in the country's history.
15:24The cause of the disaster is still under investigation, but officials say the building was structurally weak.
15:31The owner of the school has reportedly been arrested.
15:34The United Nations warns the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating with children facing life-threatening malnutrition.
15:48The World Food Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization estimate 19.2 million people will suffer acute food insecurity
15:58this winter.
15:59That's nearly 40 percent of the population.
16:03Five million people could experience emergency levels of hunger.
16:07Mothers and children are seen most at risk.
16:10The agencies say dramatic funding shortfalls are limiting humanitarian aid, while people struggle with persistent unemployment and higher prices.
16:21They're calling for urgent funding, saying support needs to reach families before cold weather makes it difficult to reach vulnerable
16:30communities.
16:31Meanwhile, the U.N. assistance mission in Afghanistan says in a report, it documented more than 400 arbitrary arrests and
16:40detentions from July through September.
16:44It says they were mainly related to alleged violations of the instruction on women's hijab, men's beards and haircuts, prayer
16:53attendance and listening to music.
16:55The Taliban have been ruling the country in line with their strict interpretation of Islamic law since the withdrawal of
17:03the U.S. and Allied troops five years ago.
17:08Indonesian authorities in Bali have released turtles back into the sea after they were rescued from suspected smugglers.
17:18Police seized 22 green sea turtles last Saturday from an abandoned boat off the coast of an island in southern
17:26Bali.
17:27They think wildlife smugglers fled when they realized officers were approaching.
17:32The turtles were taken to a conservation center for a health checkup.
17:37On Tuesday, 20 were brought to a beach where they crawled back into the ocean.
17:42The remaining two needed treatment.
17:47We hope that no one will dare to capture, keep or trade this protected species anymore.
18:03Waters around Indonesia are home to several species of sea turtle that are legally protected.
18:09But the creatures have long faced the threat of poaching for their meat, eggs and shells.
18:17And that wraps up our Boltsen.
18:19I'm Trangatira Kalsan in Bangkok.
18:25While most teenagers are focused on their own future,
18:28students at one Japanese high school have spent three decades helping build a future for children in Laos.
18:35Since 1994, they've raised millions of yen to build schools and kindergartens in poor communities.
18:41But this summer, a visit to those schools revealed the difficult truth.
18:45Building them was only the beginning.
18:49Students from Kochi Shogyo High School made a journey from the Laotian capital, Vientiane.
18:58Their own school in Japan specializes in commerce.
19:02Here in Laos, they were visiting elementary schools in suburban villages.
19:08They were welcomed by local children and danced with them to the naruko,
19:13a traditional instrument from their home region in Japan.
19:19They welcome us with warm smiles. I'd like to enjoy this moment.
19:23The elementary school was built 20 years ago using funds collected by students at the high school.
19:33They saved the money little by little to build this elementary school.
19:46The high school started the project to build the elementary school in 1994.
19:53Laos' economic development had been held back by a fierce civil war.
19:58Education for children was far from adequate.
20:04Students started raising funds after seeing Laos' educational situation in a newspaper.
20:11They began selling folk goods and other products from Laos,
20:15leveraging the knowledge they gained at a high school that specialized in commerce.
20:20In the past 30 years, the high school has provided about $190,000 through an NGO.
20:27It's helped build nine elementary schools and kindergartens,
20:32and the students are aiming to build a tenth.
20:39We can't stop what earlier students began.
20:43But the high school students also made some disappointing discoveries.
20:48A fan in a classroom where the temperature reaches 32 degrees Celsius is not working.
20:56At another elementary school, the windows of the classrooms are blocked up.
21:04They don't close well, so we block them up so no one can break in.
21:10And at another elementary school, there's a foul smell from a toilet.
21:32In recent years, Laos has been forced to cut its education budget due to the effects of the COVID-19
21:39pandemic
21:39and worsening public finances.
21:42So many schools are not getting adequate maintenance.
21:49The quality and quantity of education have improved.
21:55But there are still shortcomings.
21:58Older schools are deteriorating.
22:01They need repairs.
22:08For the high school students, this was a dilemma.
22:12Should they help build more schools or focus on repairs?
22:17They asked children and community leaders about their needs.
22:44A week into their stay, the students gathered at their hotel for a discussion.
22:51And they definitely want to have the interaction.
23:08Since three years ago,
23:10...
23:11...
23:24Their discussion continued late into the night.
23:30Then, a month after they came back to Japan,
23:34the students held an assembly to explain their plans
23:37et annoncée leur conclusion.
23:41« Par continuant à faire pour les schools qui ont été construit,
23:44nous aimons créer un environnement où les enfants peuvent apprendre
23:47en sécurité et confidente pour les années à venir. »
23:52Le fonds, qu'il y a été créé pour construire la 10e school,
23:55va être utilisé pour réparer l'existe des facilities.
23:59Le décisive factor, c'était l'urgence de l'argent
24:02les étudiants ont vu firsthand.
24:07« Although this project is called the Laos School Construction Initiative,
24:12its true purpose goes beyond just building schools.
24:15Our mission is to support Laotian children
24:17so they can have a wider range of choices for their future
24:21and pursue their dreams.
24:24The needs may have changed,
24:26but the students' commitment has not.
24:2930 years on, a new generation is still grappling with the same question,
24:36how best to help.
24:40Switching gears now to the weather,
24:42sunny skies are on the menu for many parts of Japan over the weekend,
24:45while rain is spreading across the northern parts of China.
24:48Our meteorologist Jonathan Oh has the details in our World Weather Report.
24:53Hello, we saw another fair weather day across Japan
24:57as we saw a lot of sunshine.
24:59It looks like that it's going to be on the drier side for the weekend
25:03as well as high-pressure conditions to control the weather pattern.
25:06We have to go over toward the west into China
25:09where it looks like that development along the Yings River Basin
25:12will be spreading up toward the north and east.
25:15It's a place like Beijing,
25:15really picking up on some wet weather
25:18as we head into Saturday
25:19and that rain will then eventually spread eastward as well.
25:23Tokyo looking at dry weather coming up
25:25with a high of 25 degrees again on Saturday.
25:28Same thing in Seoul as well.
25:29Beijing, plenty of rainfall in the forecast.
25:31High of 17 as we go throughout the day.
25:34Now, we're going to keep an eye on what's happening down to the south
25:37across the western Pacific.
25:38We've got Champa,
25:40which is going to expect to become stronger
25:43and really impacting the Mariana Islands,
25:45especially around Guam,
25:47and the storm is expected to get stronger
25:48and it's a very slow mover.
25:50That's the concern here
25:52is the fact that it can bring a lot of additional rainfall.
25:54I mean, this is a three-day forecast
25:56and it looks like it's going to slowly move toward the west
25:59and as it does so,
26:00it will bring that copious amounts of rain
26:02along with those intense winds as well.
26:05So make those preparations now
26:07as the storm moves toward the west
26:08because as we get close towards Saturday
26:11and especially into Sunday,
26:13that's when the storm will be right on top of you
26:15and you won't have any time
26:15to really deal with that storm at that point.
26:18So make those preparations now.
26:19Looking at what's happening across North America,
26:21we have still a low pressure system up toward the north
26:24with a cold front attached to that
26:25moving toward the east.
26:27Behind that cold front,
26:29we're talking about much cooler weather.
26:31Daytime highs as far south as Oklahoma,
26:34dropping down into the mid-teens,
26:36so it's going to be a lot cooler.
26:38And even as we go into the weekend,
26:40the southeastern portion of the United States
26:42also picking up on some cooler weather as well.
26:45But in the meantime,
26:46some rain to the northeastern United States
26:48as that low pressure pushes on through
26:49from Toronto to New York.
26:51Make sure that you have your umbrellas nearby.
26:53Hope you have a good day wherever you are.
27:38And that wraps up this edition of
27:40Newsroom Tokyo.
27:41Don't forget, you can always catch the latest news
27:42on our website as well.
27:44I'm Roger Pradhan.
27:45And I'm Kumei Ayakal.
27:46From all of us here,
27:47thank you for joining us
27:48and have a great weekend.
