TOKYO, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Japan is in the final stages of negotiations with the United States to buy U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missiles, the Yomiuri daily reported on Friday, citing multiple unnamed Japanese government sources. Tomahawks can hit targets from more than 1,000 km (620 miles) away, putting parts of China and the Russian Far East within range. Concern about Chinese military activity in the seas and skies around Taiwan and Japan has intensified since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, because Japan worries it provides China with a precedent for the use of force against Taiwan. China in August fired missiles into waters less than 160 km from Japan in a display of might, angered by U.S. House speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. At the 20th Communist Party Congress last week, Chinese leader Xi Jinping called for accelerating plans to build a world-class military.

TOKYO, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Japan is considering the deployment of 1,000 long-range cruise missiles to boost its counterattack capability against China, the Yomiuri newspaper reported on Sunday. The missiles would be existing arms modified to extend their range from 100 km (62 miles) to 1,000 km, the daily said, citing government sources. The arms, launched by ships or aircraft, would be stationed mainly around the southern Nansei islands and capable of reaching the coastal areas of North Korea and China, the Yomiuri said. But it has refrained from deploying long-range missiles, among its limits on weapons that can strike targets on foreign soil. Beijing launched missiles near Taiwan and into Japan's exclusive economic zone.

Власти Японии намерены пускать болельщиков на Олимпиаду и Паралимпиаду в Токио при условии предъявления ими справки об отсутствии коронавируса. Непосредственно при входе болельщики должны показать сертификат об отсутствии COVID-19. При этом вопрос об ограничениях по числу болельщиков на Олимпиаде будет решен в июне. Олимпиада в Токио должна была пройти с 24 июля по 9 августа 2020 года. Однако из-за коронавирусной пандемии соревнования были перенесены на год и теперь состоятся с 23 июля по 8 августа 2021 года.

Asociațiile de medici au protestat față de organizarea Jocurilor, investitorii au discutat despre avantajele pe care le au la dispoziție, iar oamenii de afaceri neobișnuiți precum Masayoshi Son au cerut anularea jocurilor. Câteva dintre cele mai importante cotidiene japoneze, precum Nikkei, Mainichi și Yomiuri, sunt, de asemenea, parteneri oficiali Tokyo 2020. Editorialul lui Asahi a fost larg distribuit intens pe rețelele de socializare. "Olimpiada se va desfășura, chiar și fără spectatori ... Odată ce începe, toată lumea se va bucura", a spus el. Puțin peste 5% din populație a fost vaccinată și a înregistrat aproximativ 719.000 de infecții și 12.394 de decese.
