日本与美国同意推动导弹防御系统 (Japan, US. Agree to Promote Missile Defense System)

日本媒体报导说，日本和美国同意推动导弹防御系统，以确保亚太地区的安全。

日本共同社星期四报导说，美国国务卿赖斯和日本外相麻生太郎在越南首都河内出席亚太经合组织会议期间讨论这个问题。

报导说，鉴于北韩最近的核试验，他们讨论了防御系统问题。报导还说，两人一致认为，需要在即将举行的朝核六方会谈中达成具体协议。

星期四早些时候，赖斯会晤了亚太地区国家外交部长，赖斯说，亚太地区的繁荣与反恐、遏制大规模杀伤性武器的扩散和防治传染病等努力紧密相连。

Japanese news reports say Japan and the United States have agreed to promote a missile defense system to ensure security in the Asia Pacific region.

Japan's Kyodo news service reports Thursday that U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso discussed the issue on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Vietnam's capital, Hanoi.

The news service reports the two diplomats discussed the defense system in light of North Korea's recent nuclear test. It also said they agreed that concrete agreements need to be reached during upcoming six-party talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program.

Earlier Thursday in Hanoi, Rice met with regional foreign ministers and told them the prosperity of the region is closely tied to combating threats such as terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and the spread of pandemic disease.

O.J.辛普森新书引发争议 (New O.J. Simpson Book Stirs Controversy)

前美式足球明星兼演员O.J.辛普森，当年涉嫌谋杀妻子及她的朋友，1995年被判无罪释放；现在辛普森撰写了一本新书，描述了假设他真的是凶手，那么他是如何犯下凶杀罪的。

1995年，辛普森因涉嫌杀害妻子妮克.布朗.辛普森和她的朋友雷纳德.戈德曼而受审，吸引了美国民众的极大关注。陪审团最后对辛普森做出了极具争议的无罪判决。他后来在民事审判中被认定有罪，必须对妮克.辛普森和雷纳德.戈德曼的非正常死亡负责。

辛普森的出版商朱迪斯.里甘采访了辛普森，美国一家电视台这个月将播放这一采访。

里甘告诉美联社说，她认为这本书就是辛普森的招认书。

1994年6月14号，邻居在洛杉矶富人区布朗.辛普森家的门前发现了布朗.辛普森和戈德曼的尸体。他们身上有多处刀伤，布朗.辛普森的喉咙被割断。辛普森一直声称自己清白无罪。

The former football star and actor O.J. Simpson, who was acquitted in 1995 of murdering his wife and a companion, has written a book about how he would have committed the murder, if he had done it.

Simpson's 1995 trial for the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman captivated Americans. In a highly controversial verdict, the jury acquitted Simpson. He was later found guilty, in a civil trial, of the wrongful death of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

Simpson's publisher - Judith Regan - has interviewed him, and an American television network will broadcast the interview this month.

Regan told the Associated Press she considers the book O.J. Simpson's confession.

On June 14, 1994, neighbors found the bodies of Brown Simpson and Goldman in front of Brown Simpsons' home in an affluent section of Los Angeles. They had been stabbed several times and Brown Simpson's throat had been slashed. Simpson maintained he was innocent.
