VIDEO ISIS Mendakwa SERANGAN ke atas TAPAK Warisan DUNIA UNESCO IRAQ . . .

Njulaina - Negara Islam (IS, yang sebelum ini dikenali sebagai ISIS/Isil) telah mengeluarkan satu video samseng jihad menggunakan sledgehammers dan AK-47 untuk menghancurkan apa-apa yang menjadi patung-patung dan dinding dalam Hatra, sebuah bandar purba yang berusia 2,000 tahun di Iraq.

Dalam klip 7 minit, bertajuk " menghancurkan berhala " yang disiarkan ke laman web militan sering digunakan oleh IS, jihad boleh dilihat memusnahkan batu diukir menghadap pada tembok kota kuno dan memecahkan batu-batu ke dalam tiang2 purba.

ISIS Video CLAIMS Attack On UNESCO Iraq WORLD 

Heritage SITE . . .

The Islamic State (IS, formerly known as ISIS/ISIL) has released a video of jihadist thugs using sledgehammers and AK-47s to smash what appear to be statues and walls in Hatra, an ancient 2,000-year-old city in Iraq.

In the 7-minute clip, entitled “smashing idols” posted to a militant website often used by IS, jihadists can be seen destroying carved stone faces on the ancient city walls and smashing boulders into the ancient pillars.

Video slickly ini dibuat dan bermula dengan rakaman dari udara laman web ini. Ia disertai dengan muzik tandatangan Negara Islam, mendapati pada kebanyakan video mereka membunuh dan kemusnahan. Jihad bercakap kepada kamera berkata tapak bersejarah telah dimusnahkan kerana "ianya bukan sembahan bukannya kepada Allah."

IS mendakwa kuil bersejarah dan peninggalan adalah "berhala palsu," yang melanggar pandangan Islam fundamentalis mereka. Pihak berkuasa percaya sebahagian daripada patung-patung yang lebih kecil dan peninggalan telah dijual oleh negara Islam yang kononnya di pasaran gelap untuk membantu membiayai kempen mereka.

Hatra merupakan pusat perdagangan purba dan tarikh kembali ke Empayar Seleucid (323-64 SM) dan dipercayai telah berjaya bertahan dengan pencerobohan Rom terima kasih kepada menara yang tinggi dan dinding tebal. Campuran unik di bandar ini seni bina Yunani dan Rom adalah sebuah monumen "kepada kehebatan tamadun," menurut UNESCO.

The video is slickly made and begins with aerial footage of the site. It is accompanied by the Islamic State’s signature music, found on most of their videos of killing and destruction.A jihadist speaking to camera says the historic site was destroyed because “it is worshipped instead of God.”

IS claims the historic temples and relics are “false idols,” which violate their fundamentalist Islamic views. Authorities believe some of the smaller statues and relics have been sold by the so-called Islamic State on the black market to help fund their campaign.

Hatra is an ancient trading center and dates back to the Seleucid Empire (323-64 B.C.) and is believed to have withstood Roman invasions thanks to its high towers and thick walls. The city’s unique mix of Hellenistic and Roman architecture is a monument “to the greatness of civilization,” according to UNESCO.

Ia benar-benar tidak jelas betapa banyak bandar kuno militan telah dimusnahkan.

Pada bulan Mac, satu pelancongan dan barangan antik rasmi kementerian Iraq berkata ia telah menerima laporan daripada pekerja dikawal-IS- Mosul bahawa laman yang bersejarah dalam Hatra telah dirobohkan sepenuhnya.

Pemastautin dikatakan terdengar bunyi letupan yang kuat dan berkata IS telah memusnahkan sebahagian daripada bangunan yang lebih besar dalam Hatra, dan mempunyai diranapkan lain.

It is not completely clear just how much of the ancient city the militants have destroyed.

In March, an Iraqi tourism and antiques ministry official said it had received reports from employees in IS-controlled Mosul that historic sites in Hatra had been completely demolished.

A resident allegedly heard a powerful explosion and said IS had destroyed some of the larger buildings in Hatra, and had bulldozed others.

UNESCO tidak dapat mengatakan dengan pasti berapa banyak kerosakan telah berlaku walaupun selepas imej satelit dibebaskan.

"Ia tidak jelas sama ada kerosakan telah berlaku ke laman web yang [sic]. Kami dalam proses menganalisis imej dan membandingkan mereka dengan yang terdahulu diambil di laman web," Giovanni Boccardi, Pusat Warisan Dunia Unesco, kepada IBTimes UK.

Pemusnahan yang melampaui batas terkini berikut beberapa insiden lain. Pada bulan Mac, jihad Negara Islam digambarkan diri mereka memusnahkan peninggalan Kristian di gereja di Niniwe, ibu negara purba rejim Assyria, di tebing timur Sungai Tigris, juga di Iraq.

Pada bulan yang sama, ADALAH memusnahkan patung bersayap berusia 3,000 tahun di Istana Ashurnasirpal di bandar Assyria purba Nimrud. Setiausaha Agung PBB Ban Ki-Moon menyebut serangan itu "jenayah perang."

UNESCO was unable to say conclusively how much damage had taken place even after satellite images were released.

"It is not clear whether damages have taken place to the site [sic]. We're in the process of analyzing the images and comparing them to the previous ones taken at the site," Giovanni Boccardi, of Unesco’s World Heritage Centre, told IBTimes UK.

The latest wanton destruction follows numerous other incidents. In March, Islamic State jihadists pictured themselves destroying Christian relics in churches in Nineveh, the ancient capital of the Assyrian regime, on the eastern banks of the Tigris, also in Iraq.

In the same month, IS destroyed 3,000-year-old winged statues at the Palace of Ashurnasirpal in the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called the attack a “war crime.”

Anti-Islam rallies have taken place across Australia, organized by the Reclaim Australia group. Police were forced to intervene in Melbourne as clashes broke out between anti-Islam and anti-racism protesters, with thousands attending the demonstrations.

Kumpulan Reclaim Australia telah menghadapi tuntutan oleh lawan bahawa mereka adalah parti yang bersifat perkauman. Walau bagaimanapun, John Oliver, yang menganjurkan perhimpunan anti-Islam berkata kumpulan itu hanya melihat keluar untuk kepentingan biasa di Australia.

"Saya tahu di Sydney dan Melbourne mereka telah mendapat umat Islam telah ditandatangani pada untuk menghadiri kerana mereka boleh melihat apa yang berlaku dan mereka tidak suka apa yang berlaku," kata Oliver, bercakap kepada penyiar negeri Australia ABC.

The Reclaim Australia group has faced claims by opponents that they are a racist organization. However, John Oliver, who organized the anti-Islam rallies say the group is just looking out for the interests of ordinary Australians.

"I know in Sydney and Melbourne they've got Muslims already signed on to attend because they can see what's happening and they don't like what's happening," Oliver said, speaking to the Australian state broadcaster ABC.

Satu lagi penunjuk perasaan, John Bolton, berkata kumpulan Reclaim Australia menentang ekstremisme, tetapi bukan kah Islam dalam masyarakat yang lebih luas.

"Apa yang saya tidak menentang adalah rakyat biasa Australia yang berada umat Islam yang mengikut kepercayaan mereka, mereka tidak perlu kebenaran sesiapa syarat mereka mematuhi undang-undang sivil dan jenayah Australia dan ingin mematuhi perlembagaan kami," tambah Bolton, mengikut ABC.

Another protester, John Bolton, said the Reclaim Australia group was opposed to extremism, but not Muslims in the wider community.

"What I'm not against is ordinary Australian people who happen to be Muslims who follow their faith, they don't need anybody's permission provided they comply with the Australian civil and criminal law and want to comply with our constitution," Bolton added, according to ABC.

Penganjur demonstrasi anti-perkauman, Mel Gregson, berkata Reclaim Australia telah mendapat sokongan dengan menyebarkan "teori konspirasi," dan juga "membabitkan orang Islam yang baik dalam pergerakan politik minoriti kecil," dalam hal pelampau yang telah menyertai Negara Islam kononnya.

Gregson menambah bahawa payung organisasi sayap kiri telah memutuskan untuk mengadakan perhimpunan di Federation Square, untuk menentang secara langsung mesej yang didukung oleh Reclaim Australia.

The organizer of the anti-racist demonstration, Mel Gregson, said Reclaim Australia was gaining support by spreading “conspiracy theories,” as well as “implicating good Muslim people in the political movements of a tiny minority,” in regards to extremists who have joined the so-called Islamic State.

Gregson added that the left-wing umbrella organization had decided to hold its rally at Federation Square, to oppose directly the message being espoused by Reclaim Australia.

"Kami tidak berminat untuk mengadakan perhimpunan kami di tempat lain dan berbincang dengan orang-orang yang telah bersetuju bahawa perkauman adalah satu perkara yang buruk - sebahagian besar orang di Australia bersetuju dengan kami mengenainya," katanya.

"Apa yang kami mahu katakan adalah bahawa ini adalah berbahaya untuk membenarkan ucapan kebencian berlaku di jalanan di Melbourne."

Ketegangan antara Australia dan umat Islam telah meningkat sejak 6 bulan lepas. Polis Australia telah melancarkan satu siri serbuan anti-keganasan pada bulan September. Terdapat tindak balas terhadap masyarakat Islam di Australia berikutan kepungan oleh seorang lelaki Iran yang dilahirkan Islam di Sydney Disember lepas, yang menyebabkan 3 orang terbunuh dan 4 cedera.

Satu kajian yang dijalankan oleh Universiti Queensland pada permulaan 2015 berkata bahawa sebanyak 75 % peratus daripada warga Australia umat Islam percaya mereka tidak adil disasarkan oleh undang-undang anti-keganasan. Undang-undang keganasan telah diperketatkan lagi selepas seorang lelaki berusia 18 tahun, yang dilaporkan menyokong pertubuhan pengganas Negara Islam, ditembak mati selepas menikam 2 pegawai polis di Melbourne.

"We're not interested in holding our rally somewhere else and talking to people who already agree that racism is a bad thing - the vast majority of people in Australia agree with us on that," she said.

"What we're trying to say is that this is dangerous to allow hate speech to occur on the streets of Melbourne."

Tensions between Australians and Muslims have been rising over the last six months. Australian police launched a series of anti-terrorism raids in September. There was a backlash against the Islamic community in Australia following a siege by an Iranian born Muslim man in Sydney last December, which left three people dead and four injured.

A survey conducted by the University of Queensland at the start of 2015 said that as many as 75 percent of Australians Muslims believe they are unfairly targeted by anti-terrorism laws. Terror laws were again tightened after an 18 year-old man, who reportedly supported the terrorist organization the Islamic State, was shot dead after stabbing two police officers in Melbourne.

PULUHAN Ribu Orang Untuk 'BRITAIN Keperluan Sebuah KENAIKAN Gaji' di LONDON (FOTO-VIDEO) . . .

Njulaina - IBU Kota di United Kingdom di dlm cengkaman dlm 'Britain Keperluan sebuah Naik Gaji' perhimpunan yg diatur utk melihat berpuluh-puluh ribu penunjuk perasaan. Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja telah memanggil tindakan itu untuk menyer-lahkan sejauh mana nilai sebenar gaji pekerja telah menurun sejak krisis meletus.

Perarakan itu dipetakan melalui London & akan berakhir dgn perhimpunan di Hyde Park. TUC berkata sekurang-kurangnya 80,000 orang yang mengambil bahagian; polisi belum mengeluarkan perkiraan mereka lagi.

Juga akan ada perarakan di Glasgow & Belfast. Penunjuk perasaan menuntut kenai-kan upah dan mereka yg adil dalam pemulihan ekonomi yg mereka dapat melihat beberapa orang menikmati.

THOUSANDS Turn Out for ‘BRITAIN  Needs a Pay RISE’ 

in LONDON (PHOTOS, VIDEO) . . .

The UK’s capital is gripped in ‘Britain Needs a Pay Rise’ rally that is set to see tens of thousands protesters. Trade Union Congress has called the action to highlight how far the real value of workers’ pay has dropped since the crisis broke out.

The march is mapped through London and will end with a rally in Hyde Park. The TUC says at least 80,000 people are taking part; police have not released their estimates yet.

There will also be marches in Glasgow and Belfast. The protesters are demanding an increase of wages and their fair share in the economic recovery they can see some people enjoying.

Penunjuk perasaan memegang pelekat seperti yang mereka berarak melalui pusat bandar London, Oktober 18, 2014 (Protestors hold placards as they march through central London, October 18, 2014 (Reuters/Toby Melville)

"Orang-orang telah mengalami luka sebenar dalam gaji mereka sekarang selama bertahun-tahun," penunjuk perasaan memberitahu RT. "Dan orang2 hanya muak. Mereka sudah cukup. Mereka tidak boleh mengatasi dan membayar bil-bil apabila gaji yang dipotong. Dan juga mereka marah. Mereka dapat melihat orang-orang di atas prestasi yang baik."

“People have been experiencing real cuts in their pay now for years,” a protester told RT. “And people are just fed up. They’ve had enough. They can’t cope and pay the bills when wages are being cut. And also they’re angry. They can see people at the top doing very well.”

"Mesej kami ialah selepas terpanjang dan terdalam gaji memeras yang tercatat dalam sejarah, sudah tiba masanya untuk menamatkan sekat-masuk yang telah membuat sebahagian besar daripada berkongsi dalam pemulihan ekonomi," kata Frances O'Grady setiausaha am Kesatuan Sekerja Kongres (TUC), iaitu persekutuan kesatuan sekerja utama di negara itu.

"Our message is that after the longest and deepest pay squeeze in recorded history, it's time to end the lock-out that has kept the vast majority from sharing in the economic recovery," said Frances O'Grady the general secretary of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), a federation of the country's main trade unions.

Beribu-ribu penunjuk perasaan berarak di sepanjang Victoria Embankment di tengah London, 18 Oktober 2014 (Thousands of protestors march along Victoria Embankment in central London, October 18, 2014 (Reuters/Toby Melville)

TUC memulakan kempen promosi yang luas dengan iklan dalam rangkaian sosial, Twitter dan YouTube; kesatuan menuntut gaji minimum yg lebih tinggi, komitmen yg meningkat kepada gaji yg hidup dan halangan kpd gaji eksekutif yg berlebihan.

"Rata-rata pekerja adalah £ 50 dalam seminggu lebih buruk dari pada 2007 dan 5 juta berpendapatan kurang daripada gaji yg hidup. Sementara itu, pengarah atas kini mendapat 175 kali ganda lebih daripada pekerja biasa, "kata O'Grady.

Ekonomi Baru Yayasan melaporkan bahawa isi rumah telah mengalami penurunan 15 % peratus dalam pendapatan sebenar mereka sepanjang tahun lalu, manakala Institut Kajian Dasar melaporkan bahawa gaji telah gagal utk mengimbangi inflasi sejak tahun 2008.

The TUC started a vast promotional campaign with ads in social networks, Twitter and YouTube; the unions are demanding higher minimum wages, an increased commitment to the living wage and curbs on excessive executive pay.

“The average worker is £50 a week worse off than in 2007 and five million earn less than the living wage. Meanwhile, top directors now earn 175 times more than the average worker,” O’Grady said.

The New Economics Foundation reports that households had experienced a 15 percent decline in their real incomes over the last year, while the Institute for Policy Research reported that wages had failed to keep pace with inflation since 2008.

"Jika ahli politik tertanya-tanya mengapa begitu banyak merasa tersisih dari proses demokrasi, mereka harus bermula dengan roti dan standard hidup mentega," kata Frances O'Grady. "Ekonomi yang mendapati wang untuk pemotongan cukai untuk orang kaya tamak dan bilik lembaga, manakala selebihnya menghadapi pemerasan gaji dan pemotongan besar kepada sistem kebajikan - yaitu yang setiap dari kita mungkin perlu - tidak lagi bekerja bagi semua pihak."

“If politicians wonder why so many feel excluded from the democratic process, they should start with bread and butter living standards,” Frances O'Grady said. “An economy that finds money for tax cuts for the rich and boardroom greed, while the rest face a pay squeeze and big cuts to the welfare system –that any of us might need – is no longer working for the many.”

WARTAWAN Jerman: Media EROPAH Menulis CERITA pro-Amerika Syarikat di bawah tekanan CIA (VIDEO) . . .

Screenshot from RT video

Njulaina - Wartawan Jerman dan editor Udo Ulfkotte mengatakan ia dipaksa utk menerbitkan karya agen perisikan di bawah nama sendiri, sambil menambah bahawa ketidakpatuhan menanggung risiko dipecat. Ulfkotte membuat ayat-ayat dalam temu bual dengan RT dan Insider Rusia.

"Saya akhirnya menerbitkan artikel di bawah nama saya sendiri ditulis oleh agen-agen CIA dan perkhidmatan risikan lain, terutama perkhidmatan rahsia Jerman," Ulfkotte kepada Insider Rusia. Dia mengatakan hal yang sama kepada RT dalam temu bual eksklusif pada awal Oktober.

"Suatu hari BND (Jerman agensi perisikan asing) datang ke pejabat saya di Frankfurter Allgemeine di Frankfurt. Mereka mahu saya untuk menulis artikel tentang Libya dan Kolonel Muammar Gaddafi . . . Mereka memberikan saya semua maklumat rahsia ini dan mereka hanya mahu saya untuk menandatangani artikel dengan nama saya, "Ulfkotte memberitahu RT.

"Artikel itu adalah bagaimana Gaddafi cuba untuk diam2 membina sebuah kilang gas racun. Ia merupakan satu cerita yang telah dicetak di seluruh DUNIA 2 hari kemudian."

Ulfkotte mendedahkan semua ini & byk lagi dlm bukunya 'Wartawan Dibeli,' di mana ia menyebut bahawa dia berasa malu utk apa yg tlh dilakukan pd masa lalu.

"Ia tidak benar, apa yang saya lakukan di masa lalu. Untuk memanipulasi orang, untuk membuat propaganda. Dan ia tidak benar apa yang rakan2 saya lakukan dan telah lakukan di masa lalu kerana mereka disogok untuk mengkhianati orang tidak hanya di Jerman, tetapi di seluruh Eropah, "katanya kepada RT. "Saya adalah seorang wartawan selama 25 tahun & saya telah diajar utk berbohong, meng-khianati, dan tidak mengatakan yang sebenarnya kepada orang ramai."

"Saya telah disogok oleh Amerika utk tidak melaporkan dgn tepat kebenarannya . . . Saya dijemput oleh Kumpulan Wang Marshall Jerman dari Amerika Syarikat untuk melakukan perjalanan ke Amerika Syarikat. Mereka membayar utk semua perbe-lanjaan saya dan meletakkan saya dalam hubungan dengan Amerika yang mereka ingin saya untuk bertemu, "katanya.

"Saya menjadi warga kehormatan dari negeri Oklahoma di Amerika Syarikat hanya kerana saya menulis pro-Amerika. Saya disokong oleh CIA. Saya telah membantu mereka dalam beberapa situasi dan saya berasa malu untuk itu juga."

Banyak wartawan lain yang terlibat dalam amalan yang sama, tambahnya lagi Ulfkotte.

"Sebahagian besar wartawan yg anda lihat di negara2 asing, mereka mendakwa diri mereka sebagai wartawan dan mereka mungkin. Tetapi kebanyakan dari mereka, seperti saya pada masa lalu, adalah apa yang dikenali sebagai 'penutup tidak rasmi.' Ini bermakna anda bekerja utk sebuah agensi perisikan, anda mem-bantu mereka jika mereka mahu anda. Namun mereka tdk akan mengatakan ba-hawa yang mereka tahu anda."

Para wartawan yg dipilih untuk pekerjaan seperti biasanya datang dari organisasi media yg besar. Hubungan dgn perkhidmatan rahsia bermula sbg persahabatan.

"Mereka bekerja pada ego anda, membuat anda berasa seperti anda penting. Dan pada suatu hari salah seorang daripada mereka akan meminta anda 'anda membantu saya ini?" "Ulfkotte menjelaskan.

GERMAN Journo: EUROPEAN Media Writing pro-US 

STORIES Under CIA pressure (VIDEO) . . .

German journalist and editor Udo Ulfkotte says he was forced to publish the works of intelligence agents under his own name, adding that noncompliance ran the risk of being fired. Ulfkotte made the revelations during interviews with RT and Russia Insider.

“I ended up publishing articles under my own name written by agents of the CIA and other intelligence services, especially the German secret service,” Ulfkotte told Russia Insider. He made similar comments to RT in an exclusive interview at the beginning of October.

“One day the BND (German foreign intelligence agency) came to my office at the Frankfurter Allgemeine in Frankfurt. They wanted me to write an article about Libya and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi...They gave me all this secret information and they just wanted me to sign the article with my name,” Ulfkotte told RT.

“That article was how Gaddafi tried to secretly build a poison gas factory. It was a story that was printed worldwide two days later.”

Ulfkotte reveals all this and more in his book 'Bought Journalists,' where he mentions that he feels ashamed for what he has done in the past.

“It is not right what I have done in the past. To manipulate people, to make propaganda. And it is not right what my colleagues do and have done in the past because they are bribed to betray people not only in Germany, but all over Europe,” he told RT. “I was a journalist for 25 years and I was educated to lie, to betray, and not to tell the truth to the public.”

“I was bribed by the Americans not to report exactly the truth...I was invited by the German Marshall Fund of the United States to travel to the US. They paid for all my expenses and put me in contact with Americans they'd like me to meet,” he said.

“I became an honorary citizen of the state of Oklahoma in the US just because I wrote pro-American. I was supported by the CIA. I have helped them in several situations and I feel ashamed for that too.”

Many other journalists are involved in the same practice, Ulfkotte added.

“Most of the journalists you see in foreign countries, they claim to be journalists and they might be. But many of them, like me in the past, are so-called 'non-official cover.' It means you work for an intelligence agency, you help them if they want you to. But they will never say they know you.”

The journalists selected for such jobs usually come from big media organizations. The relationship with the secret service starts as a friendship.

“They work on your ego, make you feel like you're important. And one day one of them will ask you 'Will you do me this favor?'" Ulfkotte explained.

JEPUN Meluluskan RANCANGAN untuk JALUR Kereta Api TERPANTAS di DUNIA . . .

AFP Photo/Shingo Ito

Njulaina - Kerajaan Jepun telah meluluskan rancangan untuk membina sebuah kereta api yang akan membawa penumpang dari Tokyo ke Nogoya pada kelajuan 310 batu per jam (500 km per jam). Kereta api, yang akan menjadi yang tercepat di DUNIA, akan menggunakan teknologi pengangkatan magnet.

BACA lanjut: China menguji 3,000 kilometer per jam konsep kereta 'super-Maglev' (READ MORE: China tests 3,000-kph ‘super-Maglev’ train concept)

Baris baru akan menghulurkan 180 batu (290 km) antara kedua-dua bandar2, dan perjalanan akan mengambil masa hanya 40 minit. Ini adalah separuh waktu bahawa kereta api peluru semasa mengambil, yang bergerak pd kelajuan sehingga 200 mph (322 kph), Wall Street Journal melaporkan.

Kereta adalah gagasan dari JR Tokai, syarikat utama kereta api yang beroperasi di Kawasan Chūbu di pusat Jepun. Dalam bahasa Jepun, "Tokai" berarti "Laut Timur" dan merupakan nama daerah antara Tokyo dan Nogoya.

JAPAN Approves plans for WORLD's fastest train LINE . . .

The Japanese government has approved plans for a train that will carry passengers from Tokyo to Nogoya at a speed of 310 miles per hour (500 kph). The train, which will be the fastest in the world, will use magnetic levitation technology.

READ MORE: China tests 3,000-kph ‘super-Maglev’ train concept

The new line will stretch 180 miles (290 km) between the two cities, and the journey will take just 40 minutes. This is half the time that the current bullet train takes, which travels at speeds of up to 200 mph (322 kph), The Wall Street Journal reports.

The train is the brainchild of JR Tokai, the main railway company operating in the Chūbu region of central Japan. In Japanese, “Tokai” means “East Sea” and is the name of the region between Tokyo and Nogoya.

Teknologi di sebalik kereta api maglev yg menggunakan caj magnet utk mengang-kat kereta api ke udara, beberapa inci di atas landasan konkrit atau guideway. Ini membolehkan kelajuan yg lebih tinggi utk dicapai, sebagai kereta dpt bergerak sepanjang tanpa menghasilkan sebarang geseran.

Bulan lalu, sebuah kereta api maglev telah diuji dengan jayanya pd landasan yg betul dalam wilayah Yamanashi, berlari di atas roda sehingga mencapai 103 mph (167 kph). Ketika teknologi maglev itu dihidupkan, ia diangkat dari & berlumba-lumba untuk kelajuan 310 mph (500 kph).

The technology behind the maglev train uses a magnetic charge to lift the train into the air, a few inches above its concrete track or guideway. This enables higher speeds to be achieved, as the carriages can move along without generating any friction.

Last month, a maglev train was successfully tested on a track in Yamanashi prefecture, running on its wheels until reaching 103 mph (167 kph). When the maglev technology was switched on, it lifted off and raced to speeds of 310 mph (500 kph).

Jalur ini akan menggantikan kereta peluru semasa, yang menyambut ulang tahun ke-50 hanya beberapa minggu yang lalu.

JR Tokai berharap utk menyelesaikan pautan utk Nogoya pada 2027 & kemudian membina lanjutan garis ke Osaka dengan 2045. Waktu perjalanan semasa ke Osaka dari Tokyo ialah 130 minit, tetapi akan dikurangkan kepada hanya 67.

Syarikat itu merancang untuk membiayai pembinaan regangan pertama dari baris dengan sendirinya, dan menganggarkan kos sebanyak 5.5 trilion yen (US $ 50 bilion).

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif syarikat itu memberitahu Japan Times bahawa dia komi-ted untuk bercakap kepada pihak berkuasa tempatan di sepanjang laluan untuk membuat penduduk yakin disebabkan jumlah yang minimum gangguan.

Sekurang-kurangnya 86 % peratus dpd perlawanan pertama dari Tokyo ke Nagoya dijangka akan dibina di dlm terowong. Di beberapa kawasan bandar, kereta akan menjadi sehingga 40 meter di bawah tanah.

The line will replace the current bullet train, which celebrated its 50th birthday just a few weeks ago.

JR Tokai hopes to complete the link to Nogoya by 2027 and then build an extension of the line to Osaka by 2045. The current journey time to Osaka from Tokyo is 130 minutes, but will be reduced to just 67.

The company plans to finance the construction of the first stretch of the line by itself, and has estimated the cost at 5.5 trillion yen (US$50 billion).

The company's CEO told the Japan Times that he is committed to speaking to local authorities along the route to make sure residents are caused the minimal amount of disturbance.

At least 86 percent of the first leg from Tokyo to Nagoya is expected to be built in tunnels. In some urban areas, the trains will be up to 40 meters underground.
