South Korea and Japan Dispute Islands

ANCHOR: Tokyo and Seoul are both claiming a group of rocky islands which are fertile fishing grounds. This is one of a number of long-standing disputes. Let's take a look STORY: South Korean workers, students and former "comfort women" hold an anti-Japanese rally in front of Seoul's Japanese Embassy. This was prompted by Tokyo's new claim to a group of rocky islets which Seoul also claims. South Korean ambassador to Japan, Kwon Chul-hyun, returned to Seoul on Tuesday. The government recalled him from Tokyo to protest Japan's decision to refer to the islands as Japan's territory in school teaching guides. Scores of workers from the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions throw eggs and tomatoes at the Japanese Embassy in protest. [Woo Moon-sook, KCTU's Spokesperson]: "They are violating the sovereignty of our territory and they have been acting like this for a while. It's like a stepping stone to invade the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia. So, we will fight strongly against Japan with our people. " A group of former "comfort women" also joined in the anti-Japanese protest. [Yoon Mi-Hyang, Civic Group Leader]: "They should solve the problems of the past, that would be a stepping stone for a good future. Our former comfort women feel that way." The islets dispute is one of a number of long-running territorial rows involving Japan and its neighbours.
