we all want to contribute to the peace and stability of the korean peninsula. for example, not only in north korea, but also the countries are conduct the military actions. so we should have all parties make joint efforts to region dialogues. this was wangs last stop of a foreign nation tour of east asia, as china looks to counter the increasing influence of the us in the region and north korea risk angering beijing. with this latest launch, south career is hoping china will use its considerable influence over north korea to bring it back to the negotiating table with each missile lodge, but seems less likely and shows even china's control over its neighbour isn't limited. north korea has also claimed to have tested a new type of long range cruise missile over the weekend. and it comes after a military parade through the street to pyongyang last week. facing an economic crisis from international sanctions. and from the pandemic combined with food

shortages for damaging storms, it seems the show of military muscle is intended as much of a morale boost at home. as showing the world, it is still a force to be reckoned to it. and it comes as south korea developed its own military hardware. on wednesday, it successfully testified a ballistic missile from a submarine becoming only the 7th country in the world to master the technology. it also announced advances in high powered ballistic and supersonic cruise missiles, as both careers continue to develop their articles. robert bride al jazeera sol. alright, taking out to washington d. c, where us olympic gymnast simone boughs is among when it is expected to testify before the senate, judiciary hearing it is examining how the f b. i handled the investigation into disgrace form a team. dr. larry nasa, who's been jailed for sexually assaulting hundreds of young athletes. this is the

committee chairman dick durbin opening proceedings right now. let's listen in, come forward to recount the impact of these are for crimes. today we believe masser abuse more than 300 athletes before he was brought to justice. as the details of masters crimes emerged, there's been a consistent theme of neglect and inaction. by those who are responsible for protecting the athletes. between 201820. 19 a subcommittee of some commerce committee led by our colleagues, senator richard blumenthal center. jerry moran conducted an 18 month investigation into this case. the investigation concluded the us olympic committee in the usa gymnastics, knowingly concealed abuse by nasser. between the summer of 2015 and september of 2016, the senate passed 2 bills aimed at addressing the failures of nasa case with overwhelming bipartisan support. the protecting young victims from sexual abuse act of 2017

sponsored by senator feinstein and the empowering paralympic, amateur athletes act of 2020. by sinners moran and blumenthal both extended the duty of certain adults to report suspected child abuse. these are good and important steps, but the reporting requirement in both laws is not worth much if law enforcement and the f b, i failed to respond and immediately, and aggressively investigate the abuse cases. and that's exactly what happened in the nasser case. the inspector general's findings, and this is july report, paid a shocking picture of best b. i dare election of duty and gross incompetence. the inspector general skating report details the neglect in an action of the f. b. i, in inspecting the nasser allegations, beginning in july of 2015, 15 months before they were publicly reported. the facts revealed by the inspector general expose but apathetic, incompetent and unethical senior f. b, i. officials,

in the 15 month period, the f. b, i officials shook their responsibility. nasser abused at least 70 young athletes for many of them. this was a continuation, but for others, they were abused for the 1st time of the f. b, i sat on the case f. b. i waited weeks from the initial report to undertake any investigative activity, the f. b. i failed to timely interviewed key witnesses, the f b. i failed to properly document with the statements and store evidence the f. b. i failed to inform state and local authorities of masters abuse. when i believe the assault allegations likely did not fall within federal jurisdiction, one senior official went so far as to seek a job with us a gymnastic c. at the same time he was overseeing the f b, i spelled investigative effort and then to add insult to injury the f. b. i supervisors doctored the paperwork,

misled the media and lied to the inspector general in an effort to conceal their daring election of duty. some may be tempted to minimize this misconduct as a fall of a few bad apples. make no mistake. agree, just failures like this. one does not arise out of nowhere. they are enabled by systematic organizational failures of training, supervision, hiring and promotion on committee to pursuing legislation to hold a beater, users accountable and provide justice to survivors. i know many my colleagues feel exactly the same today. our focus is on the f. b. i ordered fail so badly when it came to learning us victims. what are f b i leaders today doing to ensure that this never happens again. today, we are fortunate to hear from, for standing. witnesses who survive were in asters, abuse, they, and hundreds of athletes who also suffer at the hands of nasser. deserve much better from everyone, including the f

b. i also hear from the inspector general and the f. b, i, director for these young women and this committee and explanation of what the f b i is doing to ensure that this never happens again. and i'll add that. i am disappointed asked the justice department to testify about their decision not to prosecute the to f b. i officials who made false statements to the i g. i understand it's a long standing department policy, not to comment on decisions not to prosecute, but robust oversight of the department of justice is a core responsibility. this committee committed to ensuring that the committee members have an opportunity to question department of justice about this issue. an oversight hearing in the fall, the f b i's handling of a nasser case is a stain on the bureau. as chairman of the judiciary committee, i'm committed to working to ensure that the failures of the f, b i the gross failures, and the f b i in this case will never be repeated. now i recognize ranking member grassley.

thank you chairman durban for a very strong and appropriate statement that you just made. thank you for holding this hearing. thank you for inviting me and others in his hearing as well as the former chairman of this committee. i convened a hearing in that 2017 on the importance of protecting young athletes against abuse. all right, so i just been listening to the beginning of this hearing there in washington, dc on the f. b. i's handling of the investigation into larry nasir, he was the usa, gymnastics doctor was sentenced in 2018 to more than 300 years imprisonment for sexually abusing hundreds of young athletes. many of whom were mine, as we are expected to hear from some of them today as well as the f b. i director christopher re, she had

a chance he has been listening to this with us there in washington in congress. so he had, this was a case that generated a lot of headlines a couple of years ago when larry nasir was, was sentenced just phyllis in on, on where the f b, i fits into all of this and why they're in the spotlight now. when i was an inspector general's report in for the f b, i conduct in the investigation which was released to the public just a couple months ago because of the pressure from the u. s. gym that's just us on the survivors of lowering houses, abuses and i mean the title of this, of this hearing is dereliction of duty. and it's incredibly, i mean, it is incredible and it's appropriate just how, how poorly the f b. i handle this as we, as you got a sense from the chairman's opening statement that the f b i 1st became aware of these accusations of abuse again, flattery, nasa,

who was the doctor for the u. s. a gymnastic team. also the michigan state university that he was abusing young girls and women under the guise of given the medical treatment yesterday. i began getting reports that in 2015, but according to the inspector general's report, they basically did nothing. they just sat on it. they didn't follow up, i didn't interview the survivors, they didn't even alerts local lo, inforcement. so they could do something about this and an estimate of the scores of other girls and women were abused in that time when the f b, i was aware of these allegations and wasn't doing anything. in fact, one of the most egregious moments in this, in this report is that one of the special agents assigned to the case did finally meet with someone from usa of gymnastics, ostensibly to talk about these allegations. but instead of talking about these

allegations, he talked about getting a drama on security detail for the olympics, the lympics team, the next olympics, they just didn't care. and not me that there. and this is where i think will be the testimony off before elliptic gymnastics in a few moments will be really important. simone biles, mikaela maroney, maggie nichols and, and the reason is that there is a sense that was alluded to by the chairman of a systemic problem. not just in the f b, i doesn't take seriously the accounts of survivors, but also in the us gymnastics. and in the olympic committee and the, the, the, the for gymnast to testify. so the, the lawyers of long been saying this was a cover out, they did not once and the attention paid to that suffering because it just wouldn't be good for business basically. and that's what search thing about, shocked about the chairman, they're saying that they're not going to have an accountability necessarily. because i think that was one of the key issues is no one's really been held accountable for this. we've just had in the last few hours, one of the agents has now been fired from the f. b i to instantly on the morning of

this hearing, the other agent who was notoriously bad in this case. he retired, but apparently there in the pies of f b i, director, crystal right, isn't gonna talk about accountability, not least accountability down to the f b i but also the usa gymnastics and the olympic committee. and it does come back to this idea that the, i mean, in the end, what are we going to draw from this? it has to be to see whether there is a systemic problem. this can be just a matter of bad apples. and what can be done to prevent this in the future? and i think that's what we're looking for from christopher ray in the coming out. all right, for the moment she had potential life was there in washington. and just to let you know, we will continue to keep an ear out as these hearings get on the way and go on throughout the day. as she had mentioned that we are expecting to hear from us simone biles, high profile olympic gymnast as well as the f b. i director christopher ray, at some point in the day,

maybe on into other stories in afghanistan. it has been one month since the taliban sees the cap to cobble and took control of the government after its military success. it is now facing the challenge of creating a durable administration countries. economy is in ruins, unemployment high, and according to the world food program, up to 14000000 people on the brink of starvation, decades of war have also displaced tens of thousands of afghans. we need urgent humanitarian aid to survive. the global community, which has pledged more than $1000000000.00 in aid, says it will hold the taliban to its promises on upholding human rights will sum up in jet aid has more from cobble in the last 4 weeks. what people have cobbled has been telling us if there is been a welcome change of at least a lot more security, all the checkpoints have gone. they don't have to pay bribes in the street. they can drop on their mobile phone, the walk in the street, and they're not scared anymore. that is one thing which they say is positive on the

other side. in the last 4 weeks, the economy has gone from bad to worse. we were a few minutes ago in a central district where there were hundreds of people who been lining in front of the bank all over the city to try and get some cash. if you do get to get inside the bank, you can only redraw about $200.00 every week. now, good, most of the employees. we spoke to that from the government. they were policemen. they were military officials. they were civil servants who haven't been paid for months. where we are right now is a market which is popped up on both sides of the road. as over a 100000 people have left this country, and there are lots others who are trying to make ends meet, who are trying to pay their monthly bills. that electricity bills, their rents, and they are selling their household items. you can see in this market the washing machines, refrigerators, son, carpet, every everyday item that people itself to try and make a quick fuck. so they can put food on the table. a former constable military come

on, the silly most stuff is in court to face war crimes charges. it's the 1st straw to be heard in the course of special chambers. an e u. back court set up in the netherlands in 2015 and stuff was accused of murder, torture, cruel treatment, and arbitrary detention of civilians. during the conflict with serbia in the 1900 ninety's because of a war began as a rebel movement in 1998 among ethnic albanians. they believed an armed resistance would end serbia's repression. and the war lasted 15 months and ended when serbian forces withdrew, often 11 weeks, nato bombing campaign. roughly 13000 people were killed. flory and vba is director of the center for se european studies of the university of glass in austria. he says there are mixed feelings in both coastal and serbia, about the strong generally in cost of all the fighters of the constable. liberation

armies have been seen as heroes and any attempt to indict them or suspect them of war. crimes is often been met with public criticism and resistance. that is way to some degree in recent years to kind of glorification of their acts is not as strong as it used to be. and more people are willing to concede that, you know, while the overall might have a you know, the justice on their side that war crimes were committed. but certainly it's not going to be a popular trial in cost of itself. serbia has argued. busy over a long time that you know, there aren't enough cases brought against suspected war criminals on the coastal side. and this was one of the failings of the international criminal tribunal for, for me was lobby not to be able to really sentence any cost of liberation. army soldiers and commanders where it was clear that some war crimes had been committed, not to the same scale and intensity as those by the serbian army that it's quite clear, but they had also committed war crimes. so certainly it will make it may be easier

to take this issue of the agenda, but talks are quite polarized. so i think we can expect them to be continued to be very difficult. the governor, the u. s. state of california has seen off an attempt to remove him from office. republican party. lead push against democrat gavin newsome mostly had to do with his handling of the pandemic. rob reynolds has more from beverly hills outside los angeles. good evening, california democratic governor gavin newsom. handily shut down a recall effort tuesday. he will serve out the rest of his term, despite a republican push to oust him from the leadership of the nations most populous state. i am humbled and grateful to the millions and millions of california that exercise their fundamental right to vote and express themselves so overwhelmingly, by rejecting the division by rejecting the citizens by rejecting so much of the

negativity that's defined are politics. while some voters chose to line up and cast their ballots in person, every registered eligible voter received the ballot in the mail beginning weeks ago . the overriding issue has been newsome's handling of the corona virus pandemic. he was among the 1st governors to declare widespread locked downs and masked mandates . that angered many business owners and others who joined anti massacres and republicans to support the recall. more than 40 candidates were on the ballot to replace newsome but the leading republican was larry elder, a conservative radio talk show host, who promised to lift all covert mask and vaccination mandates. elder spoke after his defeat. as you know, my opponent governor, if you have any news on the grange and by the way,

we may have lost the battle. we are going to win the war. newsome attacked elder relentlessly over his stance on cove. it. he spent $70000000.00 on tv ads and campaign stops around the state. and he had help from prominent democrats, including president joe biden. that message resonated with voters. if we recall, governor knew some who knows who we end up with. and the options in my opinion, are not looking very good. elder was endorsed by former president donald trump, but in this heavily democratic state, trump support may have done elder more harm than good. it's likely that democrats from the white house to state houses all around the country are breathing a sigh of relief. and republicans are disappointed by the failure of their efforts to turn the golden state red. rob reynolds al jazeera beverly hills,

and local journalists continue to document cases of abuse and excessive force from authorities. we need to recognize that these individuals that are making this very risky journey are and very difficult and vulnerable situations. as we've discussed, there are many women and children and children who are actually in the company. that means they do not have a family member or guardian, sometimes children who are very young age. and so what all governments need to do that are involved in managing migration is that they need to make sure that the human rights are respected and that these people are protective migrant shelters in this part of the country have reached the maximum capacity and some have experienced outbreaks of cobit 19 coupled with a lack of access to adequate health care, growing security concerns and a national policy that prevents people from leaving the situation is quickly growing beyond the ability of authorities to control. manuel up a little al jazeera tougher to la mexico. a taiwanese fighter jets have turned
