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.

"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.

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.”

Angin taufan force diperkirakan adonan Bermuda selama kira-kira 7 jam, dan peramal berkata gelombang badai akan menyebabkan banjir besar di pulau itu, menurut Associated Press.

"Mereka akan dipalu adalah garis bawah di sini," Max Mayfield, bekas pengarah Amerika Syarikat Pusat Taufan Kebangsaan di Miami, kepada AP.

Pulau ini mempunyai penduduk kira-kira 70,000 orang, dan mempunyai salah satu yang paling tinggi pendapatan per kapita di DUNIA. Kerajaan mempunyai kod bangunan yang ketat sehingga rumah dapat menahan angin sekurang-kurangnya 110 mph.

Ribut itu dijangka selesai degn cepat & memperlambat, menurut Channel Cuaca, kerana ia bergerak jauh dari Bermuda di atas landasan yang akan membawa melepasi Newfoundland dan merentasi Atlantik terhadap Britain dan Ireland. Jam tangan ribut tropika telah dikeluarkan untuk bahagian tenggara Newfoundland.

The island has a population of roughly 70,000 people, and has one of the highest per-capita incomes in the world. The government has strict building codes so homes can withstand winds of at least 110 mph.

The storm is expected to pass quickly and slow down, according to the Weather Channel, as it moves away from Bermuda on a track that would take it past Newfoundland and across the Atlantic towards Britain and Ireland. A tropical storm watch has been issued for parts of southeastern Newfoundland.

The last major hurricane to strike Bermuda was Fabian in September 2003. It was a Category 3 storm which killed three police officers and another person, and left $100 million in damages to homes and businesses, roofs, trees, and golf courses, according to AP.

RUSIA di pintu GERBANG ? Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat, jurucakap Pentagon DIPANGGANG di atas perluasan NATO . . .

Still from youtube channel (U.S. Department of State)

Njulaina - Jurucakap Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat Jen Psaki dan Laksamana Pentagon Setiausaha Akhbar. John Kirby telah dicabar atas tuntutan Jabatan Per-tahanan bahawa Amerika Syarikat harus "deal" dengan angkatan tentera Rusia "mampu dan moden" yang paling dekat dengan NATO.

Menteri Pertahanan Rusia Sergey Shoigu menyatakan expressed "membimbang-kan" & "kejutan" pada Rabu membuat ucapan oleh Setiausaha Pertahanan Amerika Syarikat Chuck Hagel selama Persatuan persidangan tahunan Amerika Syarikat Tentera. Hagel menyatakan bahawa pasukan bersenjata "harus berurusan dengan revisionis Rusia - dengan tentera moden dan handal yang dimiliki - Yang paling dekat dengan NATO"

BACA lanjut: US bekerja pada 'senario' tentera berhampiran sempadan kita - Menteri Pertahanan Rusia READ MORE: US works on military 'scenarios' near our borders - Russian defense minister

Semasa taklimat Jabatan Negara pd hari Jumaat, bagaimanapun, seorang war-tawan AP mencadangkan bahawa ia akan menjadi lebih logik untuk mengatakan bahawa "NATO telah bergerak lebih dekat dengan sempadan Rusia."

"Adakah ia tidak logik untuk melihat ini & berkata - sebab mengapa tentera Rusia adalah yang paling dekat dengan NATO, adalah kerana NATO mengembang," kata wartawan Matt Lee.

"Itulah cara [Rusia] Presiden Putin mungkin melihat hal itu, itu pasti bukan cara kita melihatnya," kata Kirby dalam menanggapi hujah wartawan.

Walaupun dia akhirnya mengakui bahawa NATO tlh berkembang, Kirby menambah bahawa "NATO tidak merupakan pakatan anti-Rusia, ia merupakan satu ikatan keamanan."

RUSSIAN at the gates? US State Dept, Pentagon Spokespersons GRILLED Over NATO EXPANSION . . .

US State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki and Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby have been challenged over the Department of Defense's claims that the US must “deal” with “modern and capable” Russian armed forces on NATO's doorstep.

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu expressed “grave concern” and “surprise” at a Wednesday speech made by US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel during the Association of the United States Army’s annual conference. Hagel declared that US armed forces "must deal with a revisionist Russia - with its modern and capable army - on NATO's doorstep.”

READ MORE: US works on military 'scenarios' near our borders - Russian defense minister

During a State Department briefing on Friday, however, an AP journalist suggested that it would be more logical to say that “NATO has moved closer to Russia’s borders.”

“Is it not logical to look at this and say – the reason why Russia’s army is on NATO’s doorstep, is because NATO expands,” journalist Matt Lee said.

“That’s the way [Russian] President Putin probably looks at it, it’s certainly not the way that we look at it,” Kirby said in response to the journalist’s reasoning.

Though he eventually admitted that NATO has expanded, Kirby added that “NATO is not an anti-Russia alliance, it is a security alliance.”

"Ia bukan NATO yg memesan tan batalion taktikal & tentera ke Ukraine sempadan [itu]," kata Kirby, sebelum diingatkan bahawa Ukraine bukan sebahagian dari NATO.

Kirby kemudian menolak untuk bersetuju dengan fakta bahawa Rusia dimengerti boleh melihat perluasan NATO sebagai "ancaman", terutama mengingat bahwa perikatan wujud sebagai "anti-Soviet" untuk setengah abad.

"Saya tidak akan berpura-pura tahu apa yang berlaku dalam fikiran Presiden Putin atau komander tentera Rusia . . . Maksud saya, saya hampir tidak punya gelar sejarah di University of South Florida," Kirby bergurau, mengelakkan soalan.

Kirby memberi jaminan bahawa langkah NATO tidak "bermusuhan & mengan-cam," tetapi lebih kepada soal keselamatan. Beliau menambah bahawa beliau "bim-bang tentang mereka [Rusia] bergerak di seluruh Ukraine." Psaki kemudian dipo-tong, berkata bahawa "negara2 lain merasa terancam," dan mendesak perbualan untuk meneruskan perjalanan.

Dari segi ancaman baru di sempadan NATO, Menteri Pertahanan Rusia Sergey Shoigu berkata pd hari Jumaat bahawa Amerika Syarikat yang telah "keras kepala menghampiri . . . lebih dekat dengan pintu."

Hubungan antara Rusia dan NATO telah tegang sejak perikatan menuduh Rusia terlibat dalam konflik Ukraine - tuntutan Rusia telah secara berterusan menafikan.

Berikutan kesertaan Crimea ke Rusia pd bulan Mac, Amerika Syarikat dan Eropah menghujani Moscow dengan sekatan. NATO juga ketara meningkatkan kehadiran tenteranya dekat sempadan Rusia, terutamanya di Poland & negara2 bekas Soviet Baltik dari Latvia, Lithuania dan Estonia, yg telah menyatakan keprihatinan atas potensi serangan Rusia ke wilayah mereka.

“It wasn’t NATO that was ordering tons of tactical battalions and army to [the] Ukraine border,” Kirby added, before being reminded that Ukraine is not part of NATO.

Kirby then refused to agree with the point that the Russians could understandably perceive NATO’s expansion as a “threat,” especially given that the alliance existed as “anti-Soviet” for half a century.

“I’m not going to pretend to know what goes in President Putin’s mind or Russian military commanders . . . I mean, I barely got a history degree at the University of South Florida,” Kirby joked, dodging the question.

Kirby assured that NATO's moves were not “hostile and threatening,” but rather a matter of security. He added that he was “worried about their [Russia’s] moves around Ukraine.” Psaki then cut in, saying that “other countries feel threatened,” and urged the conversation to move on.

In terms of new threats at NATO’s borders, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Friday that it is the US which has been “stubbornly approaching . . . closer to our doors.”

Relations between Russia and NATO have been tense since the alliance accused Russia of becoming involved in the Ukrainian conflict – a claim Russia has conti-nuously denied.

Following Crimea's accession to Russia in March, the US and Europe bombarded Moscow with sanctions. NATO also significantly increased its military presence near Russia's borders, especially in Poland and the former Soviet Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, which have expressed concern at the potential for Russian incursions into their territories.

PEJUANG ISIS Menarik Diri dari DIPERANGI Kobani Syria - sumber RT

Njulaina - Pejuang Negara Islam telah dihalau keluar dari Kobani, bandar Kurdish yang melintasi sempadan Syria-Turki, selepas minggu pertempuran berat, menurut sumber-sumber Kurdi demikian kepada RT.

Seorang komandan Kurdi berkata ISIS berundur semalam - menarik balik sebanyak 2 km sebelah timur dan 9 km sebelah barat.

Orang Kurd kini penjelasan kota. Kelompok Islam tinggalkan di belakang pelaku bom bunuh diri bersembunyi di runtuhan bangunan-bangunan di bandar.

"Kita masih boleh mendengar tembakan dan letupan sporadis yang datang dari Kobani," RT Murad Gazdiev laporan dari sempadan Turki-Syria.

Walau bagaimanapun, pengumuman kemenangan dari pejuang Kurdis masih belum dibuat kerana seluruh kota itu tidak dijamin.

ISIS fighters WITHDRAW from Syria's EMBATTLED 

Kobani - RT SOURCES . . .

Islamic State fighters have been driven out of Kobani, the Kurdish town that strad-dles the Syrian-Turkish border, after weeks of heavy fighting, according to Kurdish sources speaking to RT.

A Kurdish commander said that ISIS retreated overnight – withdrawing by 2 km east and 9 km west.

The Kurds are now clearing the city. The Islamists have left behind suicide bombers hiding in the ruins of the various buildings in the city.

"We can still hear sporadic gunfire and explosions coming from Kobani," RT's Murad Gazdiev reports from the Turkish-Syrian border.

However, a victory announcement from the Kurdish fighters is yet to be made because the whole of the city has not been secured.

Hanya beberapa hari lalu Kobani telah dihapus kira2nya dan telah diramalkan jatuh kepada pejuang IS, bahkan oleh sekutu Kurdis terdekat. Militan Negara Islam mengawal hampir keseluruhan sempadan di antara Syria dan Turki jadi ia adalah penting bagi mereka yang strategik untuk mengawal bandar sempadan.

Pada hari Rabu dan Khamis sahaja lebih dari 14 serangan bom dilakukan di mana 16 bangunan di Kobani telah musnah, sumber mengatakan kepada Haaretz.

Akhbar itu juga melaporkan bahawa sehingga 20 % peratus dpd bandar mungkin masih dikawal oleh militan IS. Pertempuran untuk bandar sempadan strategik yang penting telah menewaskan hampir 600 orang.

Satu kenyataan hari ini dari US Komando Pusat mengatakan bahawa serangan udara "telah terus melambat IS pendahuluan, tetapi keadaan keselamatan di darat di Kobani masih rapuh." Ia juga memberi amaran "Kami memerlukan lebih banyak serangan udara, dan juga senjata dan peluru untuk melawan mereka di atas darat."

Berita dari Kobani datang sebagai baru PBB Hak Asasi Manusia Pesuruhjaya Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein, berkata IS adalah ", pergerakan berpotensi pembunuhan yang kejam."

Beliau berkata bahawa kumpulan adalah "hasil dari perkahwinan yang sesat dan mematikan satu bentuk baru nihilisme dengan era digital."

Only a few days ago Kobani had been written off and was predicted to fall to IS fighters, even by the Kurds' closest allies. The Islamic State militants control almost entire border between Syria and Turkey so it was vital for them strategically to take control of the border town.

On Wednesday and Thursday alone more than 14 bombing raids were carried out in which 16 buildings in Kobani were destroyed, sources told Haaretz.

The newspaper also reported that up to 20 percent of the town may still be controlled by IS militants. The battle for the strategically-important border town has already cost the lives of nearly 600 people.

A Thursday statement from US Central Command said that the airstrikes “had continued to slow IS advances, but that the security situation on the ground in Kobani remains tenuous.” It also warned “We need more airstrikes, as well as weaponry and ammunition to fight them on the ground.”

The news from Kobani comes as the new UN Human Rights Commissioner Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein, said that the IS is “a diabolical, potentially genocidal movement.”

He said that group is “the product of a perverse and lethal marriage of a new form of nihilism with the digital age.”

PASUKAN payung Amerika Syarikat melakukan LATIHAN terbesar sejak 9-11 dgn SENARIO yg MENGINGATKAN pd perjuang ISIS (VIDEO) . . .

Reuters/Shamil Zhumatov

Njulaina - Akhir bulan lalu, tentera Amerika Syarikat menyelesaikan latihan darat-simulasi tempur yg terbesar sejak serangan 11 September 2001 di persediaan utk konfrontasi dengan orang2 seperti negara Islam, yang menggabungkan taktik pemberontak dengan manuver kuasa besar-darat.

Latihan 12 hari yang diadakan 200,000 ekar Kesediaan Bersama Pusat Latihan Tentera Darat di Fort Polk, Louisiana termasuk penurunan awal sekitar 1000 pa-sukan payung dari Tim Pertempuran Briged ke-2 Bahagian Udara ke-82 bersama-sama dengan banyak pertempuran dan peninjauan bahan yang diperlukan untuk senario cepat-respon, Huffington Post.

Diterbangkan ke wilayah musuh fiksyen - "dikawal" oleh 800 pasukan dari sebuah batalion udara sebenar dikenali selama latihan sebagai Menentang Pasukan - pasukan payung dibebankan dengan mempersiapkan untuk latihan pertempuran sengit dalam persekitaran pra-dirancang untuk menjadi sebagai sibuk dari satu adegan pertarungan yang sebenarnya, jika tidak lebih-lebih lagi.

US paratroopers conduct largest drills since 9-11 with scenario reminiscent of fighting ISIS (VIDEO) . . .

Late last month, the US Army completed the largest simulated ground-combat exercise since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 in preparation for a confrontation with the likes Islamic State, which blends insurgent tactics with large ground-force maneuvers.

The 12-day exercise held at the Army’s 200,000-acre Joint Readiness Training Center in Fort Polk, Louisiana included an initial drop of about a thousand paratroopers from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division along with numerous combat and reconnaissance materials needed for a swift-response scenario, The Huffington Post reported.

Flown into fictional enemy territory - “controlled” by 800 troops of an actual airborne battalion known during the exercise as Opposing Force - the paratroopers are charged with preparing for intense fighting drills in an environment pre-planned to be as hectic than an actual combat scene, if not more so.

Setelah mendarat, "pasukan akan jelas lapangan terbang dengan pemuat ‘front-end’ yang telah turun dengan pelongsor dengan mereka. Kemudian mereka akan mula melambai dalam aliran pesawat kargo berat yang membawa 4,000 pasukan lain; 2,000 pasukan penguat; dan kenderaan lapis baja, senjata berat dan walaupun helikopter tempur. Angkatan udara pejuang lingkaran di atas kepala, mereka akan menubuhkan sebuah teknologi tinggi, multi-bilik berhawa dingin pusat operasi tak-tikal untuk menguruskan beberapa pertempuran pecah, dan berhubungan den-gan rahsia Operasi Pasukan Khas yg mendahului mereka di atas darat, "The Huffington Post, David Wood dilaporkan.

Setelah tentera mendarat dan membuka kedai, senaman yang dipanggil bagi mereka untuk menghadapi krisis berulang, semua skrip terlebih dahulu. Tentera kedua-dua pihak mempunyai akses kepada kereta kebal, senjata berat, IED, udara dan meriam serangan, roket, dan senjata api yang kecil, tetapi namun semua bebe-rapa latihan dijalankan menggunakan peluru kosong. Pasukan dan bahkan kende-raan sokongan mempunyai sensor yang menunjukkan apabila mereka telah cedera atau terbunuh dalam tindakan. Walaupun mangsa simulasi, pasukan pegawai peru-batan harus hadir menggelami luka-luka di "medan perang."

Presiden Obama telah menegaskan bahawa dia tidak akan memerintahkan pasu-kan tempur untuk melawan atas alasan di Iraq atau Syria terhadap Negara Islam, kumpulan ekstremis yg telah datang utk mengawal kawasan yg besar di negara-negara. Namun atas pegawai tentera Amerika Syarikat tlh berkata bahawa mereka bersedia untuk mencadangkan kejalan itu. Amerika Syarikat mempunyai beberapa ratus tentera "penasihat" membantu pasukan keselamatan di Iraq.

Upon landing, the “troops will clear the airstrip with a front-end loader that came down by chute with them. Then they'll begin waving in a stream of heavy cargo planes carrying another 4,000 paratroopers; 2,000 reinforcing troops; and armored vehicles, heavy weapons and even helicopter gunships. While Air Force fighters circle overhead, they will set up a high-tech, multi-room air-conditioned tactical operations center to manage the multiple firefights breaking out, and link up with clandestine Special Operations Forces who preceded them on the ground,” The Huffington Post’s David Wood reported.

Once troops landed and set up shop, the exercise called for them to face repeated crises, all scripted in advance. Troops on both sides have access to tanks, heavy weaponry, IEDs, air and artillery strikes, rockets, and small arms fire, yet all but a few drills are conducted with blank rounds. Troops and even support vehicles have sensors that indicate when they have been wounded or killed in action. Despite simulated casualties, medic teams must attend to wounds on the “battlefield.”

President Obama has insisted that he will not order combat troops to fight on the ground in Iraq or Syria against Islamic State, the extremist group which has come to control large areas in those nations. Yet top US military officials have said that they are willing to suggest that path. The US has several hundred military “advisers” aiding security forces in Iraq.

Jika Obama berubah arah dan memilih untuk menghantar pasukan darat untuk melawan Negara Islam, pasukan Airborne ke-82 terlibat dalam simulasi perang permainan adalah calon2 yang mungkin, Huffington Post melaporkan, dan operasi palsu ini dimainkan di Fort Polk dgn baik boleh bagaimana mereka akan tiba masa.

Keutamaan bagi pasukan jatuh ke dalam senario yg bermula dengan mendapa-tkan senjata kimia dan melihat kepadanya bahawa Amerika telah dipindahkan dari kawasan itu. Namun senario lain - kedua-dua orang-orang yang boleh berlaku dan telah berlaku - datang ke dalam bermain: konsulat Amerika Syarikat yang diserang, sebagai senyawa diplomatik Amerika Syarikat di Benghazi, Libya pada tahun 2012, yang membawa kepada kematian Duta Christopher Stevens dan lain-lain; Diplomat Amerika Syarikat menunggu untuk pemindahan; api dari tentera negara kononnya bersekutu, seperti yang berlaku kepada pasukan tentera Amerika di Iraq; kekuatan pemberontak sederhana yang memerlukan sokongan, seperti di Syria; dan tentera lawan, seperti Negara Islam, dengan menggunakan kedua-dua taktik pemberontak dan tentera-darat.

Seperti dalam realiti, komander darat semasa latihan yang disampaikan dengan pegawai yang bertindak staf Bahagian Udara ke-82, Komando Pusat Amerika Syarikat, Pentagon dan White House. Di samping itu, pasukan harus bekerja dengan Pasukan Operasi Khusus yang beroperasi selain daripada pasukan Tentera Darat yang lebih besar.

If Obama changes course and chooses to send ground troops to fight Islamic State, the 82nd Airborne troops involved in the war-game simulation are likely candidates, Huffington Post reported, and this fake operation played out at Fort Polk could very well be how they would arrive.

The priority for troops dropped into the scenario began with securing chemical weapons and seeing to it that Americans were evacuated from the area. Yet other scenarios - ones that both could happen and have happened - came into play: a US consulate is attacked, as the US diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya was in 2012, leading to the death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and others; US diplomats waiting for evacuation; fire from a supposedly allied national army, as happened to American troops in Iraq; a moderate rebel force in need of support, like in Syria; and an opposing army, like Islamic State, using both insurgent and ground-army tactics.

As in reality, ground commanders during the exercise communicated with acting officials of the 82nd Airborne Division staff, U.S. Central Command, the Pentagon and the White House. In addition, paratroopers must work with Special Operations Forces that operate apart from the larger Army brigade.

Pasukan itu menduduki tpt latihan sebelum dinamakan aspek utama dari Angka-tan Respon Global, "kekuatan serangan udara-darat gabungan yang selama 8 bulan akan datang akan berjaga-jaga."

Pentagon telah selama bertahun-tahun dikekalkan seperti pasukan dari Airborne 82 harus perlu untuk cepat-reaksi operasi menjadi kenyataan. "Siap" brigade harus menjadi bawaan udara dalam tempoh 18 jam dengan tujuan untuk menstabilkan kawasan di hadapan pasukan tentera Amerika Syarikat yang lebih kekal boleh bergerak.

Latihan itu ditanggung dari tahun 2012 Tentera Darat Amerika Syarikat dokumen strategi yang mencatat pergeseran apa kekuatan darat mungkin hadapi di masa depan, menyerukan pindah dari taktik kontra dari perang di Iraq dan Afghanistan dan ancaman yang banyak pelbagai, mungkin di tengah-tengah timur.

Tentera Amerika Syarikat mungkin mendapatkan apa yang ia dilatih dalam negara Islam kerana ia berjuang untuk wilayah yang banyak di tengah-tengah perang sau-dara di Syria dan penduduk yang dibahagikan di Iraq,

"Medan perang ini adalah sangat kompleks," kata Kolonel Christopher C. LaNeve, komander kumpulan operasi bagi Kesediaan Bersama Pusat Latihan dan seorang bekas komandan brigade. "Apa yg mempersiapkan Anda utk memerangi Negara Islam adalah menjadi sangat ganas pd masa ini anda perlu, & minit2 seterusnya dapat menangani orang awam."

The brigade finished the exercise prior to being named the main aspect of the US Global Response Force, “a combined air-ground assault force that for the next eight months will be on high alert.”

The Pentagon has for years maintained such a brigade from the 82nd Airborne should need for a quick-reaction operation materialize. The “ready” brigade has to be airborne within 18 hours with the aim of stabilizing an area before a more permanent US military team can move in.

The exercise was borne from a 2012 US Army strategy document that noted a shift in what ground forces may encounter in the future, calling for a move away from counterinsurgency tactics of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to more diverse threats, likely in the Middle East.

The US Army may get what it trained for in Islamic State as it fights for more territory amid civil war in Syria and a divided population in Iraq,

"This battlefield is incredibly complex," said Col. Christopher C. LaNeve, operations group commander for the Joint Readiness Training Center and a former brigade commander. "What prepares you for a fight against the Islamic State is being incredibly violent at the moment you have to, and the next minute being able to deal with civilians."

PENERBANGAN INGKAR: JEPUN, S. KOREA pesawat TENTERA terbang ke ZON pertahanan Udara CHINA . . .

MSDF amphibious plane US-2 (Maritime Self-Defense Force – think IN pictures @1WORLDCommunity)

Njulaina - Sekutu utama Amerika di Asia Timur, Jepun dan Korea Selatan, telah mengikuti memimpin Amerika Syarikat dengan menghantar pesawat tentera untuk terbang ruang udara dipertikaikan menyeluruh, yang China secara unilateral termasuk minggu lepas dalam Zon pertahanan udara.

Tokyo dan Seoul menghantar pesawat ke dalam kawasan yang dipertikaikan berikut penerbangan yang sama pada hari Isnin oleh 2 tidak bersenjata pengebom B-52 Amerika. Negara mereka tidak dimaklumkan rancangan Cina terlebih dahulu, menekankan alasan mereka tuntutan Beijing ke atas ruang udara.

China mengumumkan minggu lepas bahawa ia kini menganggap ruang udara baru seba-gai sebahagian daripada Zon Pengenalan Udara Pertahanan dan menuntut pesawat yang lalui ia memberitahu pihak berkuasa China rancangan penerbangan mereka dan diri mereka kerana mereka melepasi. Zon-zon mendakwa termasuk mereka ke atas pulau, kedaulatan yang mana China pertandingan negara-negara lain.

Tentera Jepun berkata pada Selasa bahawa ia dihantar misi pengawasan seluruh pulau-pulau di Laut China Selatan, yang dipanggil Senkaku di Jepun dan Diaoyu di China.

“Mereka menjalankan aktiviti pengawasan seperti sebelum ini di Laut China Timur, ter-masuk Zon,” kata Ketua Setiausaha Kabinet Yoshihide Suga pada sidang akhbar biasa.

Kawasan ini rutin rondaan oleh kapal-kapal tentera laut Jepun dan pesawat P-3C, kata Suga. “Kami tidak akan mengubah [Aktiviti] ini daripada pertimbangan kepada China,” katanya.

Sementara itu tentera Korea Selatan terbang di atas yang Socotra Rock di Laut Kuning. Kedua-dua Korea Selatan dan China menganggapnya sebagai di dalam Zon ekonomi eksklusif masing-masing dan memanggilnya Ieodo dan Suyan Rock.

Defiant flights: Japan, S. Korea military planes fly 

into China's air defense ZONE . . .

Key American allies in East Asia, Japan and South Korea, have followed US lead by sending military aircraft to fly thorough disputed airspace, which China unilaterally included last week in its air defense zone.

Tokyo and Seoul sent its aircraft into the disputed areas following a similar flight on Monday by two unarmed American B-52 bombers. Neither country informed the Chinese of their plans beforehand, stressing their defiance of Beijing’s claim over the airspace.

China announced last week that it now considers new airspace as part of its Air Defense Identification Zone and demanded that aircraft passing it notify Chinese authorities of their flight plans and identify themselves as they pass. The claimed zones include those over islands, the sovereignty over which China contests other nations.

Japanese military said Tuesday that it sent surveillance missions over the islands in the South China Sea, which are called the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China.

"They are carrying out surveillance activity as before in the East China Sea, including the zone," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a regular news conference.

The area is routinely patrolled by Japanese naval ships and P-3C aircraft, Suga said. "We are not going to change this [activity] out of consideration to China," he stressed.

Meanwhile South Korean forces flew over the Socotra Rock in the Yellow Sea. Both South Korea and China consider it to be within their respective exclusive economic zones and call it Ieodo and Suyan Rock respectively.

Tunjuk perasaan pembangkangan ketenteraan oleh Amerika Syarikat dan sekutu-seku-tunya setakat ini tidak membuat apa-apa tindak balas dari Beijing. Tentera China berkata ia dipantau laluan pengebom Amerika Syarikat, tetapi tidak mengulas sama ada mereka merancang untuk mengambil apa-apa tindakan untuk menguatkuasakan kaedah-kaedah baru.

Sesetengah pakar dan pembuat dasar percaya pengisytiharan Zon pertahanan itu agak tanda simbolik yang bertujuan untuk menghakis pengaruh Jepun dan Korea Selatan lebih wilayah yang dipertikaikan dan bukan satu langkah yang praktikal.

“China tidak akan melaksanakan [ZON] sepenuhnya kerana mereka tidak mempunyai aset yang cukup . . . tetapi mereka akan cuba untuk menakut-nakutkan negara-negara kecil,” kata Reuters sumber dalam kerajaan Jepun , yang bercakap kepada keadaan tidak mahu namanya disiarkan kerana dia tidak diberi kuasa untuk membincangkan isu ini dengan media.

Walaupun memilih untuk mengabaikan tuntutan China dalam amalan pesaing-pesaingnya tidak teragak-agak untuk menyuarakan ketidakpuasan hati mereka di peringkat diplomatik. Pada hari Khamis, satu resolusi yang diluluskan oleh pihak PM Abe menuntut bahawa China membatalkan Zon pertahanan baru, memanggil langkah” perluasan kuasa yang tidak munasabah.” Panel itu bagaimanapun tidak berbuat apa daripada menggu-nakan kata-kata yang “pra-moden dan imperialis,” seperti pada mulanya disyorkan.

Konflik ini juga memberi peluang untuk Amerika Syarikat menegaskan hubungannya dengan sekutu di Asia. Dalam panggilan telefon pada hari Rabu, Setiausaha Pertahanan Chuck Hagel, memberitahu rakan Jepun beliau Itsunori Onodera bahawa pakatan perta-hanan yang meliputi pulau-pulau yang dipertikaikan. Beliau juga memuji Jepun untuk “untuk menjalankan keselamatan bersesuaian,” kata seorang jurucakap Pentagon.

The demonstrations of military defiance by the US and its allies so far did not draw any response from Beijing. Chinese military said it monitored the passage of the US bombers, but did not comment on whether they plan to take any action to enforce the new rules.

Some experts and policymakers believe the declaration of the defense zone was rather a symbolic gesture aimed at eroding Japanese and South Korean influence over the disputed territories rather than a practical move.

"China will not implement [the zone] fully because they do not have enough assets ... but they will try to scare smaller nations," told Reuters a source in the Japanese government, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue with the media.

While choosing to ignore China’s claims in practice, its rivals are not hesitating to voice their displeasure on diplomatic level. On Thursday, a resolution approved by PM Abe’s party demanded that China rescinded the new defense zone, calling the move "unreasonable expansionism." The panel however refrained from using the wording “pre-modern and imperialist,” as was initially suggested.

The conflict also gives a chance for the US to reiterate its ties with its Asian allies. In a telephone call on Wednesday, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told his Japanese counterpart Itsunori Onodera that the defense pact covered the disputed islands. He also commended Japan for "for exercising appropriate restraint," a Pentagon spokesman said.
