a dozen others this is a network long known to u.s. intelligence agencies but which north korea has never acknowledged following the story for us rosen and jordan in washington d.c. just tell us a little more about also where the reporters come from who is this group that's put out. c.s.i.s. is one of the main think tanks working here in washington they focus on foreign policy they focus on military issues they focus on matters of international peace and security and certainly this is one of the things that think tanks do they take a look at information that is out there in the public domain and they try to analyze it and they do this in part because these are people usually with a lot of prior government experience and they know where to look and how to explain information that's sitting out there for the general public of course as you noted u.s. intelligence has long been aware that north korea has not dial back its efforts to

expand its nuclear weapons program or its conventional missile program for that matter and one of the things that critics are seizing on with this report from c.s.i.s. is that when donald trump met with kim jong un in singapore earlier this year there was no detailed agreement that was going to prevent north korea from carrying out this kind of work of course all along north korea has always said it is been interested in self defense and even though the u.s. and its allies would argue that setting up this kind of comprehensive weapons program is not something that you do in terms of self-defense there has to be an all fences capability as well but as of right now there is nothing written in stone to prevent north korea from doing this and certainly the u.s. is going to have now a much harder time trying to get to the goal of denuclearization given that this

new north korean program is as broad as c.s.i. says that it is ok thank you rosalynn jordan. i'm going to move also in washington actually with us mike fitzpatrick i'm going to move to you now director of the nonproliferation program at the international institute for strategic studies. not really a massive surprise is that the snow of career is continuing with its ballistic program but just politically speaking it doesn't make donald trump the right. exactly right on both accounts come all it north korea said at the beginning of the year in kim jong un's nuclear speech that they would continue with mass production of missiles and nuclear weapons and what we have here are more than a dozen missile development and production sites i'm sure that the u.s. intelligence agencies had a pretty good idea about these sites and now the rest of us also know more about them thanks to the report put out by c.s.i.s. today and you know donald trump who declared everything fine has egg on his face

what he will point to the fact what he already has pointed to many times is that since the singapore summit since he started engaging with north korea they haven't been any more launches they might have the capability for it but they're not doing it now that's a good point and i and i myself am very pleased that north korea has not tested any more missiles but while it's not testing them not launching them it continues to develop and produce them so it hasn't stopped its missile program at all where do you think north korea is as far as the development along the curve if you like of its missiles because that was the concern earlier this year and late last year that it was getting into the long range ones which could potentially have a nuclear warhead on the top. yes this is the big concern for the united states that north korea tested and intercontinental ballistic missile that could reach the united states it would need to test it a few more times it hasn't tested the re-entry vehicle their accuracy issues. but

other nations that have long been concerned about north korea's missile program japan and south korea in particular are going to be even more worried by the latest report because the site that was explained most in detail in the c.i.s. c.s.i.s. report today was about a short range ballistic missile production center short range to hit south korea and to hit japan a month fitzpatrick always a pleasure talking to you thank you for your time quite welcome come on now it's really his hosting a conference aimed at bringing stability to libya warring parties and foreign powers will try to bring an end to seven years five saying we're going to get more now from jonah hill he is in the facilities that the of palermo where the meeting is all set to take place jonah. yes well this this conference come out is slowly getting underway with the dinner most of

the delegates are here they'll continue their talks on tuesday or so far or we've really heard out of it well it's not insignificant comments from her son salomé the u.n. envoy for libya laying out what appears to be a new road map a timeline towards elections to take place in that country by the middle of next year it's a road map that we expected to see unveiled at this conference it replaces this whole series of efforts over the remove the last six or seven years led by the u.n. and by western powers which have consistently failed the most recent of which a plan to hold elections next month that was hatched at a conference led by france back in may. just a week ago to be finally unworkable to be fair many people thought it was unworkable right from the start with this new plan by the u.n. envoy looks at the possibility of a national conference to take place in libya early next year so that the libyans themselves can decide what sort of election they want to hold what sort of system

they want to see parliamentary or presidential they don't even have an electoral nor as yet that's going to be finalized as well and then a period in which a vote may take place between may and june of next year it's a pretty tight timeline in itself i think one of the biggest questions that will emerge here and hopefully be answered is quite how this country can achieve that sort of timeline so riven with violence with divisions among ethnic groups among warring militias town from town region from region and with foreign powers weighing in as well apparently pulling the country in opposite directions take a look now at my reporter looking at the outlines of this summit and some of the complexities of the libya situation. when nato bombs help rebel fighters to open throat gadhafi in two thousand and eleven it was far from the end of libya's try. seven years later the country is divided between warring militant

groups and opposing political factions each claiming control of vast swathes of territory the latest attempt to bring peace to libya has been convened by former colonial power italy the peace conference in poland brings together libya's major opposing sides as well as some of the key foreign powers with influence in the region so fires raj who heads the un backed government in and around tripoli will be joined by general. whose breakaway army holds much of the east battling for control of the south meanwhile are ethnic tribes and cross border criminal gangs while the un backs the tripoli government general haftar has the support of egypt and russia the united states is there to of course keen to bolster its influence in the resource rich north african country libya's difficulties are further complicated by the competing interests of european union rivals italy and france

both have energy investments in the country and back opposite sides while france wants to stabilize the lawless south with its proximity to former french colonies in the hell italy wants an end to the flow of migrants across the mediterranean it is a rivalry that saw france organize its own peace summit earlier this year and one that could undermine the chances of success in palermo. so representatives of some thirty countries are here some heads of state president sisi of egypt among others some senior ministers khalifa haftar i was derived he's in the air we're told to begin these talks which will run on into tuesday what would be a measure of success well quite simply to see italy and france come together behind a u.n. plan even if u.n. plans have failed consistently over recent years that would be a pretty minimal benchmark but it's clear that expectations have certainly been

lowered the italian government saying ahead of this that they're looking to make a tangible contribution to the stabilization process no fix that fixed deadlines will be imposed on the libyans they say thank you jonah hill in parliament at that libya conference here's what's coming up on this news now. i'm adrian brown in shanghai where i experts warn the country is facing a myopia epidemic but the solution could be simple find out why here on al-jazeera . and a little later in sport the new york red bulls move a step closer to winning north america's top of the title to the first. hello there we've got a lot of unsettled weather across the middle east at the moment for look at the satellite picture we can see plenty of cloud from the black sea all the way down

into the northern parts of iran we're seeing a fair amount of rain out of this system and then there's another one further towards the east giving us wet weather through tell you could stand through pakistan on up into kazakstan as that system clears away we'll see things total cool a force here so on monte's maximum on choose day will only be minus five towards the west staying fairly unsettled for us even as we head through tuesday and wednesday that wet weather beginning to pop up a bit further south now as well so for us in parts of syria and eastern turkey it will to wet a pretty cool as well before this was the south and of course we've had a lot of thunderstorms here these bitches a from doha showing the storms that we've had that was just a few minutes and that was one appeared on the road maybe about twenty minutes or half an hour but it shows you how heavy the rain is if it can cause that kind of accumulation in such a short amount of time and we are seeing more showers at the moment but i think as we head through the next few days the main focus of the wet weather would just push a bit further towards the north say for the northeast impulse of saudi is where

we're expecting the wettest of the weather on cheese day and then that will gradually work its way through parts of kuwait and into the southwest parts of iran for wednesday. a journey of personal discovery about how the suv you drew has shaped the present day georgia. people who shoot your past you will never have a future in government buildings and them ornaments they seem to inspire you doors always been mean to show your own people they are small al-jazeera is timon of our show me its examines the cultural influences of the soviet union al-jazeera correspondent the soviet scar. stories of life. and inspiration. and series of short documentaries from around the world.

that celebrate the human spirit. against the arts. al-jazeera selects hunted. you're on the news hour here at al-jazeera and these are our top stories just twenty four hours after a secret israeli military operation in gaza killed seven palestinians and israeli about hours of rockets not been fired from gaza into israel israeli officials say at least two hundred rockets were launched from gaza many intercepted by missile

defense systems one of them those you see had a bus and another struck a house in southern israel israeli military says it's carrying out air strikes throughout the gaza strip in response and at least three palestinians have been killed. early we spoke german stuff about a good t. who is the general secretary of the palestinian national initiative he's over in ramallah and he said that israel's operation in gaza has escalated a situation that is already very tense. what we see today is a result of an israeli aggression that took place unfortunately what israel did went unnoticed most media outlets in the world as usual there israelis create a bit of a creation and then the palestinians respond and it becomes like palestinian aggression the reality is that there was a truce which was mediated by the egyptians we had come and nobody intended to escalate the situation at all especially people in gaza who were in need in need

for removing the blockade on gaza and suddenly the israelis send their best and most trained groups to invade gaza and to assassinate people and of course if they were not discovered they would have caused horrible damage there was a clash and seven palestinians were killed by israeli invaders and by israeli planes which whom but please without discrimination that isn't is that seven palestinians are killed including we'll known leaders and of course what you see now as an escalation is our response to the israeli aggression and attack in my opinion this israeli look ridiculous and irresponsible behavior could lead the place into a real war we could see another huge military aggression against gaza gaza cannot tolerate that people are living in horrible humanitarian situation ninety five percent to forty is polluted or selling knitted two million people living without

sufficient electricity and without energy so this is a very dangerous situation and it should be stopped. the united states has renewed its call for an end to the civil war in yemen some reports say at least one hundred fifty people have been killed in the past twenty four hours street battles bringing chaos to residential areas in the main port city of beda thousands of civilians meanwhile are trapped by that firing a pro-government alliance backed by saudi arabia is trying to seize control of the city the spokesman has told us they were the fighting is only happening in an industrial area outside this is a. number that a little of the unit that had aid they say they've taken over the whole it says he but the battles are taking place outside of the data and everyone knows that the area of ikhwan top it is ten kilometers away from the system of that movie but as i said the battle is ahead outside that venue and i could not know about you know a suicide bomber has launched an attack near a protest in kabul killing at least six people as members of the ethnic minority group who were asking the government for greater protection after

a series of recent attacks natasha going to aim has the details. oh the target was this group of protesters. but according to media reports afghan forces were able to stop a suicide bomber before he reached the demonstrators not the four who detonated his explosives killing at least three people they was earlier on monday there were calls for peace and protection in kabul we actually have raised our voice because we need security if you want security and it's disposability of the government i subjected to discrimination for generation. was the has are a community wants to ensure its voices are heard after a series of attacks by the taliban since last week i was on the story of five to five days that jill would approach to be was modest on and so there is going to i

did was that attack of top. one hundred and fifty people were killed but there is no action. on afghan forces have increased ground and air attacks against the taliban in two districts in the southeastern province of guys me the has a shiite minority group dominate the districts they've been fighting the taliban who are sunni muslims. this has raised fears of a spike in sectarian violence in the war weary country and concerns the government isn't doing enough it's not only tribal who suffered the same thing with their complaint but it's of the country suffering the same thing every day with afghan security forces just paying a high price to skew this country the afghan army chief says is already lost

soldiers additional ground troops are being deployed to gaza new province and u.s. forces are assisting the offensive by air natasha going to al-jazeera there is more political chaos in sri lanka are opposition parties now want the supreme court to review the president's snap election kohl president they're part of the descent of fired and replaced the prime minister last month and he dissolved parliament last week after his attempts to secure a majority fails. we should live in. certain members from both sides made statements through the media and in various discussions that there will be a big clash sometimes leading to the death of a few when parliament is convened on the fourteenth if i permitted those incidents to happen by convening the parliament on the fourteenth without dissolving parliament it became apparent that those fights could have brought about a serious situation with these fires creating hardships on the population living in towns and villages across the country which is yours and mine more from our

correspondents smith he's in colombo. spent the day listening to arguments from petitioners who want the court to overturn the president's decision to dissolve parliament and call elections but they say the president is acting constitutionally as far as record said he has the right to dissolve parliament the man and the second census in which it is clearly stated in the constitution and he seems to have ignored it and in that sense it's a full. eight the president would have dissolved parliament and if that dissolution is within the first four and. then that can be done only after the parliament by a two thirds majority approves that resolution to that effect in this instance. and parliament has not. and therefore the condition proceed and laid down in the constitution has not been followed and then president's act of

dissolving parliament. on tuesday the court will hear from the attorney general he has to make the argument on behalf of the government going to be arraigned trysting because the attorney general when asked by the speaker of parliament a couple of weeks ago for an opinion he said he didn't think it was right for him to do so will now. turn in general agrees or not whether he agrees with the president or not. the government and underneath all of this is a very simple argument but why how the government's lawyers may find a constitutional way to excuse or allow the president's behaviors in dissolving parliament to be a big argument against the spirit of a constitutional change brought in a couple of years ago that took power away from the president and gave it to the people through parliament and it's a parliament to appoint the prime minister of the democratic republic of congo's main opposition leaders of veteran politician martin for you lou as their joint presidential candidate for the election in december for you know will have to be
