中国外務省の秦剛副報道局長は8日の定例記者会見で、中朝国境で4日未明、遼寧省丹東市の住民3人が北朝鮮側の銃撃で死亡、1人が負傷したことを明らかにした。 秦副局長は「事件発生後、中国側は事態を極めて重視し、直ちに厳正な申し入れを行った」と述べ、北朝鮮側に抗議したことを確認した。中国が北朝鮮への抗議を認めるのは異例。 秦副局長によると、住民らは違法に越境、貿易を行っていたとの疑いをかけられ、北朝鮮国境警備隊の銃撃を受けたという。副局長は「事件は現在、処理、調査中であり、関係部門が適当な時期に(詳細を)発表すると思う」と述べた。 韓国メディアは7日、中国人密輸グループが北朝鮮・新義州から銅を密輸しようとして、中朝国境の鴨緑江で銃撃されたと報じていた。KBSテレビは、北朝鮮が韓国海軍哨戒艦の沈没以降、中朝国境の警備を強化していた、と伝えた。(北京・共同)

哲学者とオオカミ―愛・死・幸福についてのレッスン [著]マーク・ローランズ[掲載]2010年6月6日[評者]石川直樹(写真家・作家)■11年間、共に暮らして学んだこと 著者のマーク・ローランズは、SF映画を題材にした『哲学の冒険』という作品を日本で上梓(じょうし)している。そのときから彼の主題になっていたのは「他者との遭遇」であった。ロボットやモンスターなどといった異質なものとの出会いを通して自分自身を見つめること、そうした哲学への姿勢は、本書ではオオカミとの生活というより具体的なストーリーによって深化している。 著者は生後6週間のオオカミを買い取ってブレニンと名付け、その後11年間にわたって共に暮らした。彼は本当にブレニンをどこへ行くにも一緒に連れていった。愛犬家のそれのような主従関係とは異なり、時にはブレニンが弟になり兄にもなるような不思議な間柄である。 著者の語り口は努めて冷静で、陰
菅内閣が発足した8日、自民党の安倍晋三、麻生太郎両元首相から「左翼政権」との攻撃が相次いだ。自民党は民主党を「労組依存」と批判してきたが、市民運動出身の菅直人氏の首相就任で「左」批判をエスカレートさせた。ただ、自民党内からは「そんな論争に国民は関心がない」(中堅)と冷めた声も出ている。 急先鋒(きゅうせんぽう)は安倍氏だ。8日の講演で、北朝鮮による拉致事件の実行犯とされる辛光洙(シン・グァンス)容疑者の釈放運動に菅氏が携わったとして「史上まれに見る陰湿な左翼政権」と主張。1999年の国旗国歌法成立に反対したことを取り上げ、「君が代、日の丸をおとしめてきた人物が首相になりおおせた」と述べた。 麻生氏も自民党の参院選候補予定者の事務所開きで「市民運動と言えば聞こえはいいが、これだけの左翼政権は初めてだ。(自民党との)対立軸がはっきりした」と述べた。二人の元首相らには保守層を固めることで、自

Iran has warned that it could send Revolutionary Guard naval units to escort humanitarian aid convoys seeking to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza – a move that would certainly be challenged by Israel. Any such Iranian involvement, raised today by an aide to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would constitute a serious escalation of already high tensions with Israel, which accuses Tehran
