rob mcbride is in seoul with more on the message behind this new military display which. this does seem to be a departure by north korea for the past few years there's been very little evidence of north korea's developing nuclear arsenal while we've had this period of summit diplomacy but this does seem to be north korea saying by the way we have nuclear weapons or did you forget we saw in a big parade back in october again the display of a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile according to the north koreans which he hadn't seen before and also an s.l.b.m. one of these submarine launched ballistic missiles now in this latest paraded this is according to the north koreans an updated version on that new s.l.b.m. so this is of a concern to united states and its allies because it does add a completely new dimension to the nuclear threat from north korea in s.l.b.m.

means that you know you have the power to have a nuclear missile on a submarine that can launch its missile a lot closer to its intended target so for example that is of concern to japan that has missiles that are intended to try to intercept missile other missiles fired from the north korean peninsula it's a different matter if it's dealing with a submarine just off the japanese coast in theory it could also be a concern if this is developed further to the united states but it is thought that their actual submarines are of the older type noisy a diesel submarines which would have a problem trying to get across the pacific but according to kim jong un in his latest statements that too is something north korea is working on that they want to develop and obtain nuclear powered submarines. the united nations says attacks on 2 refugee camps in ethiopia's northern tikrit region are a major violation of international law satellite imagery shows fires burning and
