Published: August 29 2017 6:58 pm Representational Image/ AP Related News Nuclear-armed North Korea fired a ballistic missile over Japan today in a major escalation that triggered global alarm and a furious response from the government in Tokyo A visibly unsettled Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said it was an “unprecedented serious and grave threat” while the UN Security Council called an emergency meeting at Tokyo and Washington’s request Sirens blared out and text messages were fired off across northern Japan warning people in the missile’s flight path to take cover Trains were delayed as passengers were urged to seek shelter inside stations “All lines are experiencing disruption” said one sign on Sapporo’s metro system “Reason: Ballistic missile launch” The last time a North Korean rocket overflew Japan was in 2009 when Pyongyang said it was a satellite launch Washington Seoul and Tokyo believed it was a clandestine test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Pyongyang last month carried out two overt ICBM tests that appeared to bring much of the US mainland within reach for the first time and heightened strains in the region At the time US President Donald Trump issued an apocalyptic warning of raining “fire and fury” on the North while Pyongyang threatened to fire a salvo of missiles towards the US territory of Guam South Korea said the latest missile was launched from Sunan near Pyongyang and flew around 2700 kilometres at a maximum altitude of around 550 kilometres Guam is about 3500 kilometres from North Korea –although the missile was fired in an easterly direction and not towards the US outpost home to 160000 people and host to major military facilities Abe said the overflight was an “outrageous act” that “greatly damages regional peace and security” In a 40-minute telephone call with Trump he said the two allies had agreed to “further strengthen pressure against North Korea” Robert Wood US Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament at the UN in Geneva labelled it “another provocation” that was “a big concern” But China the North’s key ally and main trading partner urged restraint on all sides with foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying saying the situation had reached a “tipping point” but warning pressure and sanctions “cannot fundamentally solve the issue” Russia which also has ties to Pyongyang said it was “extremely worried” hitting out at a “tendency towards escalation” Any launch towards Guam would have to pass over Japan first and analysts said today’s overflight presents a major challenge to both Tokyo and Washington Before 2009 the only time it had traversed Japanese airspace was in 1998 in what it also claimed it was a space launch The US said it was a Taepodong-1 missile Pyongyang says it needs nuclear weapons to protect itself against the US and the firing comes during the annual Ulchi Freedom Guardian South Korean-US joint military exercise which the North always condemns as rehearsals for invasion Euan Graham of the Lowy Institute in Australia said that a launch towards Guam would have been a “red line” for Washington and instead Pyongyang selected a “half-way-house option” “The North Koreans in a way are being quite clever by asking a difficult question of a key ally in the western Pacific (Japan) but at the same time not ratcheting up tensions to the point where the United States would seriously consider military measures” he told AFP They were also “demonstrating they have the control over the cycle of escalation” he added After Pyongyang appeared to postpone the Guam scheme Trump told a rally in Phoenix that Kim was “starting to respect us” As a result according to Cha Du-Hyeogn of the Asan Institute of Policy Studies in Seoul: “It looked like North Korea backed off from a game of chicken “But Pyongyang is showing that is not how it is” he said “That it is not a chicken it has not backed off and that Washington is the one who is bluffing with no concrete plan” Japan has in the past vowed to shoot down North Korean missiles or rockets that threaten to hit its territory But it made no attempt to do so today — when the missile flew over the country for two minutes — with defence minister Itsunori Onodera saying generals believed it posed no risk to the country “Today is really quite a horrible day for Japan” security commentator Ankit Panda said on Twitter following today’s overflight “If North Korea assesses the costs of overflying Japan to be ‘anything’ but intolerable we’ll see more of these kinds of tests” For all the latest World News download Indian Express App More Related NewsBy: AFP | Tehran | Published: August 3 2017 3:46 pm The mounting crisis creates a difficult position for Hassan Rouhani a 68-year-old moderate who won re-election largely thanks to his efforts at repairing relations with the West (AP Photo) Top News Iran said Thursday that new US sanctions were a violation of its nuclear deal with world powers piling pressure on President Hassan Rouhani as he started his second term Rouhani vowed to continue his efforts to end the country’s isolation as he was sworn in by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei following his re-election in May But the ceremony came less than 24 hours after US President Donald Trump confirmed fresh sanctions against Iran Tehran says the new measures violate its 2015 deal with world powers that eased sanctions in exchange for curbs on its nuclear programme an agreement which Trump has repeatedly threatened to tear up “We believe that the nuclear deal has been violated and we will react appropriately” deputy foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said on state television “We will certainly not fall into the trap of US policy and Trump and our reaction will be very carefully considered” The mounting crisis creates a difficult position for Rouhani a 68-year-old moderate who won re-election largely thanks to his efforts at repairing relations with the West “We will never accept isolation” Rouhani said as he was sworn in in front of top political and military officials “The nuclear deal is a sign of Iran’s goodwill on the international stage” he added Khamenei took a tougher line saying Iran must not fall for Washington’s “tricks” “The enemy’s hostility has made us more resistant” he said New US sanctions have emboldened Rouhani’s hardline opponents who say he should never have trusted the United States “It’s unfortunate timing” said Ellie Geranmayeh an Iran analyst with the European Council on Foreign Relations “What will be absolutely critical is how the Europeans position themselves” she said pointing to the burgeoning trade ties with Europe and their continued backing of the nuclear deal Britain France and Germany — who signed the deal along with Russia China and the United States — remain firm backers of the agreement and have criticised the Trump administration for threatening to scrap it French energy giant Total defied US pressure in July by signing a multi-billion-dollar gas deal with Iran “What Iranians are banking on at the moment maybe overestimating is that Europe will safeguard and build on the deal and make it too politically costly for Trump to tear it up or at least show Washington that if it walks away it will be doing so alone” said Geranmayeh The International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly certified that Iran is sticking by its commitments under the agreement — a position that has been reluctantly accepted by the Trump White House But with Iran gaining the upper hand across the Middle East through its support for proxies in Syria Lebanon and Iraq US lawmakers appear determined to ratchet up tensions Meanwhile Rouhani also faces challenges as he tries to impose civilian control over the economy Since the election he has engaged in a war of words with the Revolutionary Guards over their outsized role in the economy — although

accountability to the political class It shows that he wants to take it further to corporate governance as well which will certainly help mobilise popular opinion for him” said Dutta Rahul Gandhi Reuters We finally have an answer to why the heavens have opened up and sent Mumbaikars rafting on the roads We have a good reason to believe that this is khushi ke ansoon (tears of happiness) Rahul Gandhi after ages has decided to celebrate his birthday in his country And the heavens above Mumbai – the land of Bollywood – have suitably sensitive lachrymal glandswhich have given in Let another Rahul show you how: Every year Congress supporters turn up before the Gandhi residence to celebrate the birthday of their own Shah Rukh Khan In 2009 it was reported Congress supporters turned up with cakes crackers and stuff for a havan in Delhi only to find the birthday boy missing in action Gandhi like a true Indian non-aam aadmi had taken off for an overseas trip to bring in his birthday The same pattern followed in the following years We can imagine though why he must have ran away to celebrate his birthday abroad in the last couple of years Imagine if PM Modi then BJP candidate Modi managed to lay his hands on Gandhi’s birthday party pics You know one with a multicoloured Afro maybe or one with beer mug shaped specsor one with cake smeared on his face From Rangeela Babu to Chocolate Boy you can only imagine how Modiji’s imagination would have run wild and a hundred hashtags would have bloomed It would have made "escape velocity" seem like a cakewalk However the tables have turned this time Gandhi has been vigorously trying to shake off his shehzada-nessand project himself as a desi Robin Hood instead He is trying to be the kurta-pyajama clad hero who battles the suit-boot nexus After all A man who claims that he will fight for the rights of the farmers and accuses the government of being pro-rich cannot be very convincing if he flies off abroad to ring in his birthday right In fact note how he is consciously being the anti-Modi here One of the primary grouses against our PM is that he spends more time flying than running the country His overseas trips in the last year have been fodder for innumerable memes And Gandhi probably hopes his little sacrifice will help make an impression In 2012 when Rahul Gandhi had taken off for his annual overseas birthday ritual Firstpost’s Lakshmi Chaudhry had written "The impression he conveys is of a child itching to finish his homework so he can run free Or of a reluctant bada beta dutifully putting in the required hours at the family bijness to make Papa (in this case Mama) happy That’s alright except the family bijness happens to be the world’s biggest democracy – which deserves better than a sulky schoolboy at its helm" But this time around we can wipe a happy tear and say ‘beta bada ho gaya hai’ (the boy’s grown up) And Congress will leave no stone unturned to celebrate this slightly delayed coming of age NDTV reports: "Party supporters will cut a birthday cake weighing 45-kg outside his residence 12 Tughlaq Lane A procession will be taken out to his residence from Malcha Marg with flower decorated ‘rath’ and a cavalcade of cars adorned with party flags banners and cut outs of the Congress Vice President" If you are cracking up at the idea of the rath think again Or better still go read up Ramayana on Cliff’s Notes again Remember what Ram flew back to Ayodhya in to claim his kingdom back Yes people the Pushpak Rath Now translate that into English What do you get ‘Flower rath’ See how the Congress also plans to score a Hindu mythology brownie point His party which had been unhappy with Gandhi’son-again off-again attitude for a while now seems to be finally convinced that their leader has successfully graduated to adulthood No wonder then some leaders have now announced gleefully that Gandhi has to become the party’s president and a process to make that happen is already on?
