(AP) SEOUL, South Korea – South Korea’s navy fired warning shots Friday toward North Korean fishing boats that crossed a disputed maritime boundary, but the shots didn’t hit the fishing boats, which retreated, a South Korean official said.

(AP) TOKYO – The Japanese government and 광명출장업소 coast guard said six Chinese surveillance ships entered Japanese waters Friday near disputed islands in the East China Sea, adding to tensions between the Asian giants. After Japanese coast guard ships telegraphed warnings to the Chinese vessels, two or three moved beyond territorial waters but the others remained within the 12 nautical mile zone around the uninhabited islands that are controlled by Japan but claimed by both nations, said Yasuhiko Oku, an official with the Japanese coast guard in Tokyo. It was the first intrusion by Chinese vessels into what Japan says are its waters since Tokyo bought the islands from their private Japanese owners this week. The islands, called Senkaku by Japan and Diaoyu by China, are surrounding by rich fishing grounds and are near key shipping lanes. China sends patrol boats to disputed islands Anti-Japanese protests have since been held in various Chinese cities, and some Chinese have called for a boycott of Japanese goods. The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed that six surveillance ships had entered waters near the islands, which are also claimed by Taiwan, and began “patrol and law enforcement” there. “These law enforcement and patrol activities are aimed to demonstrate China’s jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islets and ensure the country’s maritime interests,” the statement said.

He’s one of the most controversial figures in media – part teacher, and part preacher. “There is courage in our times!” he said from a stage at one point. Now, just three months after that program ended, 사다리 토토 사이트 Beck has returned, taking on subjects ranging from 9/11 to the economy. Of the tenth 9/11, he said, “We will lucky at best if the next generation recognizes something actually happened on this date in history, 9/11.” On the economy: “The president is a Marxist. There, I said it!” “He’s really setting himself as this multi-media powerhouse,” says Glynnis MacNicol, editor of Business Insider’s blog, “The Wire,” “and seeing if the world is ready to watch TV on the Internet.” Pushing boundaries is nothing new for Beck. During his two years at Fox News, he rose to prominence, cultivating a committed following with emotional outbursts, such as when he said, through tears, “I’m sorry. I just love my country, and I fear for it.” He was also noted for his fiery...
