pyongyang kim jong un fire is yet another method over japan the u.s. warns it's approaching the limits of what can be accomplished by functions and diplomacy despite what was just going to be on hand and everything screening. britain's prime minister raises the terror threat from severe to critical as face hunt for the suspects behind the london tube bombing. amnesty international says it has evidence mamá security forces burned the hinge of villages as part of an orchestrated campaign. i'm be disturbed him with all the sports news says the international olympic committee and says the game that there's no plan b. for february's winter games off the north korea follows its latest missile. we start with the korean crisis the white house national security adviser general.

has warned that the united states was approaching the limits of what sanctions and diplomacy can accomplish when it comes to running and north korea's weapons program . for those who have said and been commenting about the lack of a military option there is a military option now it's not what we would prefer to do so what we have to do is call on all nations call on everyone to do everything we can to address this global problem short of war so that is implementing now these significant sanctions that have just now gone into place and it is convincing everyone to do everything that they can and that it's in their interest to do it his comments come off to pyongyang fied yes another missile over japan the second in less than a month the u.n. security council is meeting to discuss this latest provocation what would have latest from so on the united nations in a moment but first craig leeson with this report from tokyo. the missile launch

followed a familiar pattern it came early morning two minutes before seven local time with japan in its path launched from the capital pyongyang the missile flew three thousand seven hundred kilometers over the northern japanese island of hokkaido reaching a height of seven hundred seventy kilometers before crashing to the pacific ocean. just minutes after sirens sounded in her cairo is a public alert was issued residents had mixed feelings were beginning to just doesn't feel real i really don't know what it'll do it gives me the shivers i feel like telling them to stop it now the response from neighbors was swift south korea's national security council held an emergency meeting the country's new president ordered to counter fire with a missile test of its own the drill was pre-planned in preparation for another north korean test. just not going again fired

a ballistic missile obviously disregarding the international community's criticisms and warnings and the un security council resolutions such continuous provoking actions by not go to your c.d.'s that's the peace and stability of korean peninsula and the international community that our government sternly denounced us and express anger over the missile launch moon also instructed the nation to analyze and ramp up preparations for new forms of threats from electromagnetic pulse and chemical attacks arriving in tokyo from an economic summit in india japan's prime minister immediately called for an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council. north korea has trampled on the international society's strong desire for a peaceful solution it's reckless act is absolutely unacceptable we will request the security council to hold an emergency meeting. he's urging the international community to act as one against north korea and wants the u.n. security council to implement the latest sanctions against the country the u.s.

secretary of state is calling on all nations to take new measures against north korea specifically he said china and russia must indicate their intolerance for these reckless launches by taking direct actions of their own this is the second ballistic missile to cross japan in less than a month it comes within twenty four hours of north korea threatening to sink japan with nuclear weapons a threat japan takes seriously now that it believes north korea has the ability to miniaturize its nuclear weapons and place them on top of ballistic missiles like the one which crossed the country today craig leeson al-jazeera tokyo well first we go to so aware kathy novak is standing by for us kathy we heard there from the south korean president talking about diplomacy do you think the south korean still think it's possible to find some sort of diplomatic solution to this when north korea just keeps on testing those missiles. well i think it's the south korean

government strong preference certainly president moon has repeatedly said there will be no more war on the korean peninsula and he was elected to office this year on a platform of more engagement with north korea considering dialogue but right now he is saying that under the current current circumstances dialogue is impossible and the government's response to the latest missile test from north korea was swift it launched a missile of its own it traveled into waters off the korean coast a traveled for about two hundred fifty kilometers that's the distance that it would need to travel to hit the launch site that pyongyang used to launch its missile so the message there to the north korean government is that south korea also has its own technology should it need to use it interestingly though the south korean government also says it is still considering eight million dollars in humanitarian aid through the world food program and through the u.n. children's fund to help north korean children and pregnant women it says that that

sort of age should be kept separate to politics and it will make a decision on whether it will provide that aid next week so i think ultimately south korea still wants to have dialogue at some stage with north korea wants diplomacy but it certainly doesn't seem possible right now the kim jong un us constantly made this point the joint military exercises between south korea and the u.s. is one of the reasons he's going forward with this program is this a compromise you think south korea might entertain that they will pull back from those exercises. they have not said they will do this in the past and in the current circumstances it seems extremely unlikely china also has brought up these joint miss joint military drills between the u.s. and south korean militaries saying that its proposal is to have a freeze for freeze that is to stop the military drills in exchange for pyongyang freezing its nuclear and missile program as it is now that has been rejected by the

u.s. and the south koreans china also is upset about the fatted missile defense system wants that rolled back and president moon himself was against the system coming into office but because of the rising tensions he has done a bit of a u. turn on that and allowed the third missile defense system to be installed he says temporarily so i don't see that south korea will be wanting to roll back any of its defenses or its military drills any time soon too many fans can think of there with the perspective in so let's cross across now to new york where rosalynn jordan joins us live from the united nations i understand the security meeting security council meeting now finished rowland's a lot of pressure being still poor on russia and china what sort of mood are you hearing that there in. well certainly that security council emergency meeting is over sue and there was a reading of

a very brief press statement in which the council condemned north korea's launch of the i or a b.m. intermediate range ballistic missile and called on it to was basically comply with all rules and all u.n. resolutions about its nuclear weapons program now as you noted there has been pressure on both china and on russia to use their leverage in order to try to get pealing on to dial back its activities well the question was put to the russian ambassador of us healing the who spoke to reporters after that council meeting broke up in the last thirty minutes we were discussing for a while that was it in a vicious circle where. it is a mission a provocation at all occasion that is addition that another publication and we were going to play to as many people raised an issue that we have to think maybe out of the books now at the white house we're hearing from the u.s.

national security adviser earlier on really saying we're almost out of time now with the sanctions with diplomacy but is that the americans really kind of ramping up the pressure on one side but the security council is now and they have a yet. the security council isn't anywhere near some of the language that the americans have been bringing to this debate and in fact the russians have been criticizing the americans for suggesting any talk of any sort of military action and that might be one reason why when they passed sanctions on monday that you didn't have any use of military vessels to search north korean ships that might be carrying contraband that is now outlawed by the latest resolution number twenty three seventy five what the russians have said is that talking about military options makes it much harder to persuade north korea to stop what it's doing if that in fact is is the goal and so the council i very much wants

to do something to keep north korea from developing its program but i don't think there is appetite for any sort of military action either sanctioned by the council or certainly unilaterally doesn't jordan that with the latest from the united nations well for more on this week joined by nuclear analyst jim walsh who is boston for us thank you very much for joining us on al-jazeera first of all we do feel like we're going around in circles here don't we i mean given the pressure on russia and china to push on north korea than we have another missile strike then the pressures are on top again where is this going to end. well where it will end is hard to say but you're certainly right to say that this feels familiar i mean we've had seventeen tests this year we had more than twenty tests last year

and we've had a series of un security council resolutions each. to be fair the strongest it has ever been put past at that point so they were strong resolutions but we've had no change in the outcome and so if you keep doing the same thing over and over again and you don't get the outcome you want that's probably reality's way of telling you that you've got to do something different and i'll not very point nikki haley in the un i busted for the state today with saying look we're just going to wait till the sanctions bites do you think that will push north korea to change its ways if they do by. now i think that's a mistake for two reasons one in the race between sanctions and missile test a nuclear test the missile tests are winning i mean again look at the historical record here it's pretty plain that north korea can test faster than the us the un or individual countries can impose sanctions that would impede those tests

they're testing at an ever faster pace and i don't think un resolutions are going to keep up with that so i guess you can continue to punish them but the question is you know sanctions towards what end if you want to punish them for the sake of punishing them you can do that but the real objective ought to be to change their policy and that's not working nobody really wants to imagine whether if there was a military option on the type. of vice it did say and the white house today what that would mean but with your experience and knowledge what kind of military option might they be considering. well soon the military remember the u.s. and south korea have a combined forces command and they have operational plans for all sorts of contingencies and so when the white house says we have options technically they are correct they have options it's just that all of them would kill lots and lots of people and i think there are any objective observer says yes you can try to attack

north korea are you going to get all their nuclear weapons if you don't get them all are they going to want to strike back at you with a nuclear weapon what about the thousands over tillery tubes that are pointed at seoul a city of twenty million people that can be launch within three to four minutes which would certainly do substantial devastation so if there is a war yes north korea will lose that war hands down no doubt about it the problem is yes they lose but in that process you will have destroyed a big piece of seoul and you may have even had. the use of a nuclear weapon so the options exist ten the clay but no one really wants to or know so sober person wants to pursue those as who just saying to correspondent and sell there was no appetite with the south koreans to stop the joint military exercises with the u.s. but would you trust the actually that would pull north korea back this is the one thing that conjunction says repeatedly they feel under threat because of these

exercises but would that make a difference if that compromise was my. well i do think the goshi asians can make a difference it's my own view that when the north koreans are at the table they tend to be better behaved you know when it's when there's nothing going on when there are no negotiations and they're standing outside throwing rocks and stones that's when they tend to be their worst i would also say that negotiations can be useful because the major threat to war here is not that north korea is going to wake up one day want to commit suicide in the initiator attack against knighted states now the way you get to war is through miscalculation misperception error or mistake and so open lines of communication are important to try to prevent that from happening i mean during the soviet during the cold war you. and i'm afraid found any weight loss jim wallace that giving is these acts that vice from boston. stay with us here on the news hour still to come the sixth round of talks on syria progress we'll have the details from

a stunner. iraq's kurdish parties met for the first time in two years as opposition to their independence plans mounts and in sports a new engine for one of formula one's most famous teams peter will have more last story. the british prime minister has raised the u.k. terror threat from severe to critical after an explosive device detonated on the london underground train to resume says she took the decision on advice from security officials twenty nine people were injured in the incident which happened at one of the busiest times of the morning. it happened on london's underground which is a twenty in the morning the height of the rush hour if this was a deliberate attack and that's what the police believe it was time to cause maximum

casualties and this is what we believe caused the explosion just as the train came in to pass in the screen station a pocket still in flames moments later when a passenger on the train filmed it on their camera. but the damage to the surrounding carriage is slight perhaps someone intended this to be a much more serious attack injured and frightened people fled the station some had burns there was panic several people rushed to hospital and almost immediately. thirty people shell shocked and when i asked what happened they talked about an explosion in one of the carriages. yeah but with three one of the carriages we had a back all of a sudden a fireball just came. and it was so hot and it just involves the whole. the whole defies just calming everybody screaming. and we run out and it was going on but we just we were right at the end of the cheap so we just we just jumped the fences and

just ran for our lives this is a leafy residential part of west london a long way from the city center so people who live around here are surprised and alarmed that something like this has happened and the police have sealed off a large area around parsons green tube station meaning an awful lot of disruption to people's lives and we are treating the matter as a terrorist related incident and the metropolitan police counter-terrorism c'mon will take responsibility for that investigation the prime minister held an emergency security beating the joint terrorism analysis center has now decided to raise the national threat level from severe to critical this means that their assessment is that a further attack may be imminent for this period military personnel will replace police officers on guard. checked at sites which are not accessible to the public

public will see more armed police on the transport network and on our streets providing extra protection recent attacks of gun did and in manchester have put the british authorities on heightened alert. on the word that you train attacks back in two thousand and five the so-called seven seven attacks in which more than fifty people died. the advice from politicians and the police is for people to go about their daily lives and across this boss city today that's what most londoners are doing to be phillips al-jazeera pos in the street in london. and he joins us live from pathans green and west london i mean the fact that they've raised the security level does this point to that this not being alone attack or in their view do you think. i think it means bombs one of several things firstly that perhaps the or thirty's have made some degree of progress but not enough progress

to be able to say how rights to the immediate threats is being somewhat neutralized so in a sense they're not going to take any chances secondly of course this could well mean that the person responsible for this attack was not acting alone so that more resources for instance would be needed to establish a possible network we will of course within the next twenty four hours if not slightly longer know a little bit more about exactly where the police investigation is going but a lot of the efforts throughout the course of the day have been in and around parsons green station here behind me the cordon has largely been relaxed but forensic teams throughout the day have been poring over what is essentially a wealth of evidence on the platform on the train and specifically the improvised explosive device which would have opened up a whole series of different channels different lines of inquiry we also heard from the rally the deputy commissioner of the met police here in london who said that

thousands of hours of c.c.t.v. footage was being poured over by a team of extra detectives but also a team of specialists from m i five at the nation's domestic intelligence service so we get the impression that a tremendous amount of work is going on behind the scenes this investigation is gathering speed and pace. neve bock about bringing is the latest on the attack in west london amnesty international has used satellite imagery to highlight what it calls an orchestrated campaign to ban revenge of villages in manama the rights group has detected eighty large fires in rockland state since august twenty fifth when the military crackdown began i am us army says it's targeting armed groups in the area almost four hundred thousand more than half of them children have fled to bangladesh in the past three weeks we document them through a number of different sources it's really clear campaign of the consing by the mia

more security forces. we're kind state it's on fire we document least eighty large scale burnings across the whole state. but it's very very difficult to conclude this anything else bar a deliberate effort by the me of a military to to drive a hinge of their own country. by any means necessary. thousands morhange of muslim refugees continue to enter bangladesh every day they're fleeing them or from what the u.n. has called a textbook definition of ethnic cleansing but as maha satire reports some sharp horror it with in south east bangladesh four weeks into the crisis authorities are still not prepared for the influx. waiting for the boats to come but for these rohingya refugees from myanmar there are still the not so small matter of haggling with the bangladeshi boat not easy when you've got no local

currency. claim because they're torturing and killing us on the other side we have to pay whatever the price of the protest no matter how high. some boatmen have been accused of charging exorbitant fees it's a touchy subject. if i was to take money from. a muslim i'm not excusing anyone the boatman say they're risking their lives to bring refugees across with little support. of the security forces here tell us that it's ok for us to bring refugees in but we should do it discreetly if we do it openly i think it was trouble. this confusion is symptomatic of a dysfunctional relief effort this road on the very southeast tip of bangladesh is right now the main entry point for the refugees coming into the country but looking around here we're seeing little to no sign of any official aid whether from the government international aid agencies or local ones. many of these people have been

walking for days they finally crossed into the safety of bangladesh but they will have to keep on walking for another forty kilometers before they get any help local volunteers are trying to fill the gap. i came from dhaka with a group of people to help out we're trying to get these people on the boats and told them where they need to go and there is a man paid through the boat and this family can finally leave they joined the almost half a million range as needed to have poured across the border in just the past four weeks marsar al-jazeera shop where the bangladesh russia iran and turkey have agreed a new deescalation zone in syria's northern province the agreement was reached out they six round of talks in the kazakh capital estonia as chance struck reports. of the two days of talks in a storm or an agreement on

keeping something shrines then they got the militias and now with their numbers in thousands and now the russians turned them into getting tools and wind out in these posts monitor all news that. you see so yet and they are not for keeping an achievable through it as a pretext go to plan the head of the russian delegation says exactly where the iranian russian and turkish monitors will be stationed needs to be discussed but iran has a right to be involved. it's a third of the good on them iran is hanging on to country for that's done a process it's experts were invited to syria by they needed to make syrian government that's why they had the right to use their office service doing to the situation to the escalations on. there has been a reduction in fighting in the deescalation zone since the plan began to be implemented for a half months ago now russia says that along with the u.s.

development about the reasons behind these alarming new statistics we have seen this breading of conflicts in various parts of the world today is about forty six countries which we consider being involved in conflict with about four hundred eighty nine million people living in conflict affected countries certainly the nature of conflict of change is not a war among nations sometimes there are local conflicts within the same nation involved me or lord involving the government but they also tend to regionalize the conflicts they take lives they destroy infrastructure they cause economic. economic crisis and of course affect the ability for people to produce food because a lot of them happen in rural areas and also the ability to people plucks is food so it's a major. cause of this increase in. under noticed mean between two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen now if conflicts

combine with economic weather. these with extreme weather events that can be related one way or the other to climate change then it becomes a real problem today we had. fifty three million people that were in extreme food insecurity conditions in countries that were affected by conflict and drought at the same time so although we had a very well come the climate trends we see this blip this stick up of congar in two thousand between two thousand and fifteen and sixteen four months after being freed from book or her captivity more than one hundred school girls have been reunited with their families in nigeria on wednesday the government held what it called a send forth event for the girls who were kidnapped from the town of cuba in twenty fourteen they went three months of rehabilitation before being reunited with their
