you stand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world. al-jazeera. when the power goes out. there's only one humanity to. local heroes to many. electricity. but keeping the lights on is dangerous. as your forces cracked army spokesman going to fly. out on. a witness documentary. this time on al-jazeera. for three and celebrate as the nation wants just its nose powerful weapon yet

a missile observers believe that all of us. are still carry this is al jazeera life and also coming up. at france's urges me and mars people to resist acts of revenge during his first public mass there. after years of decline we look at what it will take to spark some life back and zimbabwe's shattered economy plus. i'm joined now in greece where thousands of asylum seekers are stuck in appalling conditions in that camp down there the banner of this island describes it is europe's one time the most. north korea says it has successfully tested its most powerful and a continental ballistic missile yet a weapon it says can reach all of the u.s. mainland so these were the scenes

a celebration inside north korea where locals were filmed reacting to the news outside though there is the usual round of world condemnation and the u.n. security council is going to hold an emergency meeting later on wednesday so this new missile called fifteen was launched from pyongyang not far from the capital it reached a height of about four and a half thousand kilometers so let's put that in perspective that is ten times higher than the international space station at least for fifty three minutes before crashing into the sea off the coast of japan let's go to al-jazeera kathy novak in seoul south korea's capital so. kathleen was there any warning this was coming what all are we hearing about this. well south korea says it did detect the missile launch before it happened and responded almost immediately with drills of its own south korean armed forces launching live fire drills with its military navy and air force launching three missiles simultaneously at

a simulated target the message intended for north korea that south korea could take out of the launch site if necessary now north korea as you say is celebrating this launch it says that the new song fifteen missile represents the completion of its weapons development program that this is a much more advanced missile than the i.c.b.m.'s that were launched back in july and for its part south korea has confirmed that it is apparently an advanced form of technology south korea the united states and japan all taking this extremely seriously and condemning in the strongest terms this latest missile launch a show so right that these this happens it happens every few months it clearly seems like their capabilities are escalating and then we get this international reaction what next what do we expect to happen in the in the security council later today. well that's the big question really what can the international

community do we've heard from the u.s. president donald trump who in the past of course has threatened north korea with fire and fury his response a bit more muted today simply saying that the united states will handle it that it will take care of it he held talks on the phone with both the leaders of south korea and japan that they were all talking about pressing ahead with this campaign of sanctions and pressure that is designed to force north korea back to the negotiating table and send a strong message that the world will not tolerate these kinds of provocations from north korea but for his part the south korean president moon wants to avoid any kind of military action he says that he wants to avoid a situation where there is a miscalculation where the united states perhaps feels forced to launch a preemptive strike against north korea because of course analysts have often said that if that were to happen north korea's response would be to attack this city

seoul of course the problem is that the campaign of sanctions and pressure hasn't been working there has been a lull in missile testing it had been more than two months since north korea's last missile launch but many analysts had simply put that down to timing it's coming up to winter military training in north korea it's time of year where it tends to not have as many missile launches but now we've seen this new on the most advanced one the yes and often we hear from the u.s. and its allies that it wants to push north korea back to the negotiating table but that denuclearization has to be a precondition for that it seems north korea first of all is not open to negotiating and if it were to come to the table it would insist on doing so as a nuclear state for show ok kathy no that live for us in seoul cathy thank you. our kelly is a professor of political science at south korea's national university he joins us

right now so professor kelly was it known that north korea had reached this level of capability with with the missile yeah i think it's been known for a while that the north koreans have been sort of on the verge of this each test has been incrementally a little bit better. this one judging from the lofted shot has the ability to go as far as the east coast and we've known this was coming i don't know that we knew that to specific test was going to do it but we don't for a while the north koreans are going in that direction and their tests for greece are regressively reached out further and further and suggest that they could go further and further to be towards washington d.c. and new york so i think there is a fair sense of this with coming i don't think this is a big surprise to anybody why now is there any particular reason for further along the way path for a couple of months and this yeah that's been all over the news here in korea all day right i mean basically since this morning when the started there was this whole debate like what if the seventy five day pause mean and where they're trying to sort of signal something and drug administration one to read that the suggest that

you know they were afraid. part of me they were afraid of picking a fight while downtrend was here and stuff like that. my guess is that that none of those reasons are correct it's probably something internal it's probably something that has to do with the program the. army they need time to evaluate the telemetry from the last one i don't the north koreans don't really take their cues from the outside world they did they would be doing these kinds of tests a lot of these things respond internal calendars internal bureaucratic pressure so i don't think there's really much for us on the outside to read no and what you just said there that north korea doesn't really take cues from the outside world so if that is the case what is there what reason do they have what incentive do they have to actually come to the negotiating table when north korea is dependent on the outside world for something for subsidization of some kind right. north korea's been. professor. robert kelly no we can't catch your breath there way of all have that happen from time to time are you ok to

proceed and if not we can certainly check back in with you later ok but professor kelly you better now pardon me the little bugger you know we understand we understand sorry my apologies. i'm north korea's been dependent on external support basically since the one nine hundred sixty s. so north korea has china right now which is the primary supporter of north korea has a certain leverage over the states so they are vulnerable to extreme pressure that doesn't mean they take their cues i think from extra pressure for sort of calendar days but they are they they are susceptible to pressure on. what they need for the missiles what they need to import luxury goods for example televisions alcohol and things like that so i do think that that we can pressure them into making certain choices but i think it's very difficult for us to sort of map particular launch dates to xterm oil pressure exter and all decisions that we've made for overkill i thank you so much for hanging in there with this we appreciate you know don't

apologize we've all been there thank you for joining us but francis preached a message of forgiveness and for people to avoid revenge during his first public mass and maurice largest city and go a crowd of about one hundred fifty thousand people turned out to see the leader of the catholic church in what is mostly a buddhist nation when he spoke a day earlier pope francis call from we want to respect the rights of all ethnic groups but avoided using the name of the persecuted or. minority so. i knew that many in mean marbury the wounds of violence both visible and invisible the temptation is to respond to these injuries with a worldly wisdom that became in the first reading is deeply flawed so we think that healing can come from anger and revenge yet the way of revenge is not the way of jesus is god tyler has more from. the pope conducting mass here in these grounds to tens of thousands of people christians from across the country

came here to see the pope and this is the first opportunity to see him first hand before he started the mass he drove through in his popemobile as it's known through the crowd behind me and then he went up to the stage and conducted the mass he also had a short family where there were broad themes like we've heard earlier in this trip on tuesday nothing specifically about the revenge of but he said that this country the people of this country have been victims of anger and wrath that the only way for a future for this country is through peace so again broad terms on how myanmar should go forward coming from also meet on wednesday with leaders of the buddhist religion council he'll be meeting with them and also meet with bishops from the catholic faith and then he'll start his second phase of this trip will go over to bangladesh that's the other side of the range of prices who leave for bangladesh on thursday the next stop us and bangladesh and the tiny catholic community and getting ready to welcome him on thursday some of helper sessions in their homes hoping the pope's

visit will promote more tolerance for their religion and a muslim majority nation christians make a fewer than one percent of bangladesh's population. yemen now for the former president ali abdullah saleh has outlined his path to peace in the war torn country during a speech in the capital sana. rebels to stop firing rockets at saudi arabia and in return he says the saudi led coalition must end its blockade and raids on yemen the ousted leader who said what the allies says he wants to see all sides work towards mediation. oh well. the first step is a roadmap to stop the war stop the raids and put an end to the blockade the second step we said to the decision makers stop launching rockets at riyadh this is an initiative and after this we can meet in geneva kuwait or amman we are ready for that meanwhile a car bomb has exploded outside the finance ministry offices in yemen's southern port city at least four people have been killed by still has claimed responsibility

for that blast. a weather check is next then. here for the better or which one is not. a tourist stranded on the resort island of bali. we got some rather cool air across a good part of europe at the moment because. down across the northwest this is the line of the cooler to the north of that i suppose a blind up coming from a northerly direction from the arctic most of the specter of shallow cloud following on behind and that cold air will continue to slide its way further south

as we go through the next few days even getting as far south as the mediterranean temperatures in london and paris struggling to get to around seven or eight celsius and screaming normally it will feel pretty cold a few showers along the east coast as well so whether that across the mediterranean into central and northern parts of italy and up towards the bow and seizing up of course in all the most part still we're looking at snow in the snow becoming more expensive as we go on through thursday big swathe of snow coming in here heavy rain there for the balkans still cold up towards the northwest coast still actually just five celsius for london and paris is going to feel a good deal cold in that when you add on the strength of the winds that way whether it will make its way into the fall north of africa easing down across northern areas of morocco and algeria as you go on through the next couple of days cold enough here as well algiers with a top temperature of fifteen. right

a rallying point for republicans who accuse them secretary of state hillary clinton of not doing enough and then lying about the incident that led to the death of four americans including ambassador christopher stevens we are misled that there were supposedly protests and then something sprang out of that an assault sprang out of that and that was easily but i'll change that that was not the fair but but the american people could have known that within days and they didn't know with all due respect the fact is we had four dead americans was told that i protested was it because of guys out for a walk one night or decided they'd go kill some americans what difference at this point does it make i'm of the time i was detained in twenty fourteen the government accused him of being a ringleader in the attack prosecutors presented testimony that katon. had called for attacks on americans however his defense lawyers say he was a bystander who arrived on the scene after the attack a point conceded by the prosecution in addition a key prosecution witness was paid seven million dollars for his testimony and

having been detained in twenty fourteen could tell i was held at sea for almost two weeks his defense lawyers say he was deprived of sleep and had no legal counsel after five days of deliberation the jury found him guilty of one count of conspiracy to provide material support or resources to terrorists one count of providing material support or resources to terrorists one count of maliciously destroying and injuring dwellings and property and placing lives in jeopardy and one count of using and carrying a semiautomatic weapon during a crime of violence but he was acquitted of the federal murder and other charges he faces decades in prison she had. a verdict is due at the hague in the case of six convicted of war crimes are committed to one thousand nine hundred ninety four and herzegovina the political and military officials were finally sentenced to a total of one hundred eleven years in prison this is the final appeal case the

court will rule on but as david schaper reports from divisions of the past ethnic groups. the old bridge of must stop built by the ottomans in the sixteenth century one of the priceless architectural casualties of the war in bosnia its wanton destruction is included in the list of indictments against the bosnian croat defendants in the last major case being heard in the international criminal tribunals for the former yugoslavia in the hague now painstakingly restored to its former glory it's become you know esko world heritage site and is visited by tens of thousands of tourists every year. but the very reverse still marks a front line twenty two years after the war ended close by the city's main academy has also been renovated the neo morris building houses two schools under one roof mostly in muslims and bosnian croat it's being taught in different

languages and different versions of history and different. it is a human rights lawyer whose daughter went to the school he won his court case against the local authorities demanding a unified curriculum but nothing has changed. with the muster municipal court decided in its final judgement that they were discriminating against children by organizing the educational system and the curricula by ethnic principals thereby separating children. in bosnia and herzegovina we should all study our history the same history we must not compromise anybody's integrity or language everyone has a right to religion and places to pray this right must be guaranteed but when it comes to school curricula i think many changes coming made so we can study the same ones. in the wake of a war that killed one hundred thousand people the idea of two schools under one

roof was devised by the organization for security and cooperation in europe to try and start reintegration but it's simply cementing the divisions what we have is a situation where you have multiple curricula you have multiple instructors separate administrations all divided along along ethnic lines and that frankly. and to me personally is is a long term threat to the security and stability of the country. as a lot it's the butcher of bosnia completes the first week of the rest of his life in prisons one experience commentator the genocide observed a bitter truth. he would at least have the satisfaction of knowing his mission. was accomplished. this city's iconic bridge may stretch across the ethnic divide here but the truth is the division between them as deep as. david

will miss completely confident clouts at the moment the weather has been very bad here in the area was a psycho loon actually an old for that has changed the direction of the wind going to the west now so all the ash the ash that's been erupting from the volcano for the last couple of days is now going to a different direction also has rocks up to four kilometers has been thrown out also a crater but so far life i has yet to wrap from the volcano mock maya is already building up inside a crater up to the to the highest level and you can actually see the pressure building up and the premis were recorded on tuesday which actually according to folks on a lot focus on the largest say that this is an over option that could be very imminent a very big eruption but the problem with this volcano is that there are no scientific data of the latest a very major eruption here in one thousand nine hundred sixty three so it's very

unpredictable at the time actually there was a the very very tall eruption of opcodes then kilometer so a lot of people are very rohit about this and that's why the authorities are saying that the whole area has to be cleared of people and their capital and at the moment though still a few people are quite reluctant to leave actually refugees stuck on the great guyland of lesbos face the harsh winter conditions inside the main government run campbell only barely meeting their basic needs and the right government says it's not getting enough help from the e.u. conditions are so bad the island's mayor describes lesbos as they want taught him obey of europe china whole reports. all need to be in the business bullsh the evenings to cold. most of the roughly ten thousand refugees and migrants stuck on the island live in the bleak confines of moriah camp no matter what they know. no food no food food no good. moria
