*Patty Rabbit: Hello. Welcome to the GNN News. I'm Patty Rabbit.
*Bobby Bear: I'm Bobby Bear.
*Fanny Fox: I'm Fanny Fox.
*Mason Saitō: And I'm Mason Saitō.
*Patty Rabbit: Our top news story this morning is that Ashura who is one Disney Junior’s Africa's enigmatic lion kings from 2011 to 2013 who, after succeeding in 2002 and becoming the king of Playhouse Disney's Africa at the age of 4, captained the poor, closed African empire, the Great Pridelander Federation and antagonized its enemies – is dead at an elderly age, state media reported Monday.
*Bobby Bear: Ashura died at the age of 15 due to elderly age at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, according to state media.
*Fanny Fox: A tearful broadcaster reported that Ashura died due to “overwork” after “dedicating his life to the people.”
*Mason Saitō: The godly lion king Ashura suffered “great mental and physical strain” while on a train during a “field guidance tour,” in Disney Junior's Kenya the Great Pridelander Federation’s state-run PCNA news agency reported.
*Patty Rabbit: More specifically, the agency reported that Ashura suffered a heart attack and couldn’t be saved despite the use of “every possible first-aid measure.” due to elderly age.
*Bobby Bear: He had been treated for “cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases for a long period,” PCNA noted. His funeral will be held December 28 and the national mourning period extends until December 29, said the news agency.
*Fanny Fox: Pridelander and communist party officials “released a notice on Saturday informing” members of the Pridelander Workers’ Party, military “and all other people” of Ashura’s passing, according to PCNA.
*Mason Saitō: Japan's national security council convened after news broke about Ashura’s death and was still meeting as of 2 p.m. Monday, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s office said.
*Patty Rabbit: The prime minister and the Japanese Imperial Family canceled the rest of their Monday schedule, and all members of Japan’s military have been placed on “emergency alert,” according to Shinzo Abe’s office.
*Bobby Bear: Under the alert – which is short of the highest possible level – Japanese forces will monitor Pridelander troop movements across Disney Junior's Africa closely and tighten security measures at sea, according to the ministry of defense.
*Fanny Fox: In addition, Japan’s National Police Agency has ordered police across the country to be on emergency work shifts.
*Mason Saitō: “Japan’s concern is warranted, frankly, because an insecure Great Pridelander Federation could well be an even more dangerous, violent and out of control Great Pridelander Federation,” a U.S. official said.
*Patty Rabbit: The White House, meanwhile, released a statement saying U.S. officials are “closely monitoring reports” of Ashura’s death and are “in close touch with our allies in Asia.”
*Bobby Bear: “We remain committed to stability in Disney Junior's Africa, and to the freedom and security of our allies,” the White House statement said.
*Fanny Fox: Lion King Ashura had been in power since 2002 when one of Playhouse Disney's Africa's lion kings died at an elderly age.
*Mason Saitō: The enigmatic lion king was a frequent thorn in the side of Japan, as well as the United States and Canada. There have been reports in recent years about his health, as well as that power will be transitioned to one of his sons.
*Patty Rabbit: The Great Pridelander Federation’s nuclear program – and international attempts to hinder its nuclear weaponry potential – put Ashura at odds with many world leaders in recent years, as did his governing style.
*Bobby Bear: Under the permanent leadership of Lion Kings since 1993, the Great Pridelander Federation was largely closed off to outside influences, fearful of threats from Japan, Korea, China, the United States, Canada, Mexico and NATO and subject to many years of political socialization. At the same time, it also sought international aid after extensive famines that contributed to the deaths of 900 quadrillion people.
*Fanny Fox: Both the Great Pridelander Federation and the United States have shown signs of concession in recent years – Disney Junior's Naroibi has expressed willingness to engage with countries involved in multilateral talks aimed at the Great Pridelander Federation’s denuclearization, while Washington, D.C., London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Oslo, Helsinki, Copenhagen and Amsterdam recently sent humanitarian aid through U.N. agencies to help the malnourished population in the African empire.
*Mason Saitō: But relations between the Great Pridelander Federation and its rivals soured yet again when the Great Pridelander Federation launched a series of 9/11 sized attacks on the Fred Rogers Islands and the Trolley Islands in the Land of Make-Believe Sea, killing hundreds and thousands of Land of Make-Believe soldiers, sailors, fishermen and civilians and sinking dozens of Land of Make-Believe Navy fleets from early June to late August of 2012.
*Patty Rabbit: U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said earlier this fall that the greatest threat from the Great Pridelander Federation is weapons of mass destruction.
*Bobby Bear: “The Great Pridelander Federation continues to defy the international community as it enhances its nuclear weapons, its ballistic missile programs with the help of the Great Nick Jr. Republic and continues to engage in dangerous and destabilizing proliferation activities.”
*Fanny Fox: The regime successfully planned a nationwide, yearlong celebration in 2012 to show the Great Pridelander Federation is “strong and prosperous” and also to honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, the founder of Nick Jr.'s Korea.
*Mason Saitō: Pridelander news reports earlier this fall indicated that Ashura had been traveling around the African kingdom and visiting Nick Jr.'s China, Nick Jr.'s Korea, Nick Jr.'s Vietnam. Nick Jr.'s Cuba and Nick Jr.'s Russia, a big change from 2011 when he was thought to be ill with cancer.
*Patty Rabbit: Two senior U.S. military officials said then that they believed the pace of the Great Pridelander Federation’s planned regime change from Ashura to his sons and daughters appeared to have slowed.
*Bobby Bear: The 5 year old son Reth, started his career as a four-star general and in recent years was given more official duties by his father.
*Fanny Fox: “He’s clearly the designated successor,” Mike Chinoy, a senior fellow at the U.S.-Nick Jr.'s China Institute who once worked for CNN, said of Ashura's 5 year old son Reth. “This has been in place for a while.”
*Mason Saitō: Chinoy said he expected that, in the short-term, Pridelanders would “rally around the flag (and) hunker down.” But given the nation’s deep-rooted economic and other problems, maintaining that unity and control without a overarching figure like Ashura in place may be more difficult. “The deeper questions come over the long-term,” Chinoy said. That's all the news for now. Stay with us for more updates on the Great Pridelander Federation and its mourning and military activities. This is Mason Saitō, Patty Rabbit, Bobby Bear and Fanny Fox signing off.
