the era has teams on the ground with intensifying rain. people here fear that these are temporary solutions to bring you more award winning documentaries and life needs. ah, me, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm adrian again. this is, but he's live from go home, coming up in the next 60 minutes. both south korea, north korea test launched ballistic missiles, ours, apart from each other. american gymnast nice to testify before congress over the f . b. i is poor handling at the investigation into sexual assault by the team doctor . it's been a month since the town took control of i've got to stop and we'll get an update

from our correspondent in cobble of human rights activists say that migrant stuck in southern mexico, a living in an open a prison uninstall. barcelona suffer a heavy champions league defeat barcelona beaten 3 know 5 by managing that 1st european match. the departure of lead i the united states has condemned the latest ballistic missile launch from north korea. boston, a surprise moved the south flex. it's military might just hours afterwards. successfully testing, and this are launched from on the water. it's the 1st country without duty, a weapons to develop such a system. i'll just here as run mcbride wraps up developments from sol. this highly provocative missile test was carried out while china's foreign minister, one year was installed for tools with his south korean counterparts with north

korea high on their agenda. but of course, 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 action. 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 risks 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 is control over its neighbor 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 streets of young gang 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 and 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 asa knowles. robert bride al jazeera sol . that's over to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could his across all of this for us? what's been the white house that reaction to the test by both north korea and what's going on in the south? yeah, the biden administration responding through both the defense department as well as

the the department, the defense department, putting out a statement saying that is aware of what north korea has done and it is now consulting with its allies. once again, underscoring the long standing position of the united states that the view is that these provocative action by north korea sort of underscores. the destabilizing impact of north korea is weapons program. now the united states is once again reaffirming its security and defense commitment to not only south korea and japan, but the state department going much further condemning the missile large saying is a violation of a number of un security council. resolution ad is once again saying that it is inviting john yang to return to diplomatic talks. and discussions. of course, those talks have essentially stalled since 2019 after north korea asked for

sanctions relief and that was rejected by the white house. so there is no question that in washington, this is being viewed as an attempt by north korea to pressure the biden administration. the president is going to be speaking later today. is he likely to address all of this? there are no. there's no doubt that there are going to be questions about this. the president is scheduled to talk national security at 21 g m t. and we expect that he will be discussing what the white house is doing in terms of security concerns around the in the pacific region. given the fact that this missile and launch has happened, this is the only escalade, some of those concerns. 2 now we are hearing reports that there is a name and an announcement by the united states that will be announcing a working group between the united states, britain and australia. and essentially what this will do is bolster the security posture in the region,

allowing for information sharing when it comes to artificial intelligence, cyber and also under water systems, including long range strike system. so we're watching very carefully to see what more of the white house might have to say about this in advance of the president speaking at 21, gmc, there is a white house press briefing that comes up in a couple of hours, and there is no question that there are going to be discussions and questions from reporters with respect to what the white house is doing to strengthen security in the in the pacific region. kimberly of any thanks. indeed. i'll just 0 that whitehouse correspondent. kimberly, how could reporting live that from washington, a group of top us gymnast testifying before congress at washington, d. c. a. senate committee is looking into how the f b. i handled the investigation into disgrace, gymnast team, dr. larry nasa. he's been jailed for sexually assaulting hundreds of young athletes . a report into the agencies conduct accused the f. b. i making fundamental errors

among the key witnesses is usa olympic med list simone biles. that's listening to what's happening right now. this is gymnast alley reisman's speaking. how is survivors healing is affected by the handling of their abuse. and it disgusts me that we are still fighting for the most basic answers and accountability over 6 years later in 2015, it was known that at least 6 national team athletes had been abused. by nasser. there was even one of the athletes that was abused on film. given our abusers unfettered access to children, stopping him should have been a priority. instead, the following occurred the f. b, i failed to interview pertinent parties in a timely manner. it took over 14 months for the f. b. i to contact me despite

my many requests, to be interviewed by them. their records establish that steve penny, f. b. i. agent, j abbott, and their subordinates work to conceal master's crimes. steve penny arranged with the f. b, i to conduct my interview at the olympic training center where i was under the control and observation of usa gymnastics and the united states olympic and paralympic committee. the day of my interview, steve penny flew the olympic training center and he made sure i was aware he was there. i felt pressured by the f. b. i to consent to master's plato. the agent diminished the significance of my abuse. it made me feel my criminal case wasn't worth pursuing. special agent in charge of investigating nasser met steve penny for beers to discuss job opportunities in the olympic move men,

another f b i agent work with steve penny to determine jurisdiction without interviewing the survivors. i watched multiple high ranking officials at usa, g, u, s o p c, and f b. i resign or retire without explanation of how they may have contributed to the problem, some of whom were publicly thanked for their service and rewarded with severance or bonus money. my reports of abuse were not only buried by usa, g u, s o p c. but they were also mis handled by federal law enforcement officers who failed to follow their most basic duties the f, b, i and others within both usa, g and u. s. o, p c, knew that nasa molested children and did nothing to restrict his access. steve penny and any usa g employ could have walked a few steps to file

a report with the indiana child protective services since they shared the same building. instead, they quietly allowed nasser to slip out the side door, knowingly, allowing him to continue his work at m. s. u. sparrow, hospital, a usa g club, and even run for school board. nasser found more than $100.00 new victims come, alas, it was like serving innocent children up to a pedophile on a silver platter. why did none of these organizations warn any one? usa g and u. s. o, p c, have a long history of enabling abuse by turning a blind eye. both organizations knew of nasser abuse long before it became public. although you wouldn't know that by their, by reading their press releases,

which would have you and their corporate sponsors believe that athletes safety comes 1st. we have called for a fully independent, factual investigation for years now. because i and these women who sit before you know, 1st hand these organizations and their public statements are not to be trusted. they claim they want accountability but then seek to restrict which staff can be interviewed, which documents can be examined, and claim attorney client privilege over and over again. the so called investigations. these organizations orchestrated, we're not designed to provide the answers, we so critically need. why are we left to guess why usa g and us? so p c, deliberately ignored, reported abuse. well, we got to leave that for the mother that mr. to trying to live in reisman the getting testimony before the u. s. senate earlier olympic medalist simone bio is

gave emotional testimony his some of what she had to say. i don't want another young janice olympic athlete or any individual to experienced the horror that i and hundreds of others have endured before during and continuing to this day. in the week of the layering effort to be clear, take a turn to be clear, i believe we are enough fern. and i also believe in an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse. yet while i was a member of the 2016 us olympic team, neither usa g, u. s o p c, nor the f b i ever contacted me or my parents,

while others had been informed and investigations were ongoing. i had been left to wonder why i was not taught until after the rio games. i was serious. shebra tansy is listening to proceedings on capitol hill. she had this is all about the mishandling into the investigation of sexual abuse by team doctor laurie nasa by the f b i of sensibly. it is about the inspector general report that was conducted into the f. b. i's dealings. but as you can hear from the testimony of the survivors, barrier legend, this is a much bigger issue. this is a cover up that involves not just the f, b i, but also the u. s. u s. a g u s. a gymnastics, and u. s. u. s o p c u s a lip, they can paralympic committees. the questions that we keep hearing from the survivors as why, why did they all seem to conclude to cover this up f b,

i initially, in not doing anything once they 1st heard about the allegations in 2015, not interviewing the survivors, not even telling local local officials in the states that larry nasa was alleged to be molesting children and young women in the meantime. as you heard, many more women were left and what was going on, why was there this cover up when it comes to the f b? i rather, it's not just how they mishandled the investigation, but bennett is cover up. it is when the inspector general was investigating the f b, i conduct the agent in charge light to the inspector general, which then leads to the question of accountability. normally, when someone lives to the f, b i or the inspector general than you expect criminal proceedings, none of that has happened to the, the agents who are being held responsible for not doing anything for so long about about these allegations. but then, as you can hear from survivors, they are expanding it into an issue of this isn't just the f b i,

and this isn't just a few bad apples. this is about a system that covers up the abuse of women. that doesn't listen to survivors. it doesn't, doesn't take li allegations of survivors. seriously. one of the, so i've said that she explained in great detail and she wants to get explained in the hearing room just a few minutes ago. just how paul and mary nasa is behavior was towards the abuse that she was suffering. and the person on the other line, the official on the other line said ways that it this is what they have to have to deal with. and there has been no accountability as we keep hearing, not just for the agents involved in the f, b i. but also at usa gymnastics and the u. s. a and limpid committee. and of course, the point is if there's supposed to be any, anything, anything worthwhile out of all of this, then there has to be systems in place to prevent this from happening. but if there's no accountability, what guarantee is that they will be any, anything,

anything is actually changing? don't you talked about the justice department's inspector general back in july, issuing that scathing report which blasted the f. b. i f botching it's investigation. what is the whole point of to, of today what's happening on capitol hill? what is it that the survivors want? what we're going to get off. so the survivors give that testimony is we will be hearing from the current f b. i director christopher wright who was not the f b, i directed them and he will be outlining what changes have actually occurred. although the senator said, we'll have to see whether that's true that i won't be satisfied with platitudes about how this is awful. we're going to change and we'll do better. the problem is, and this is been a sort of real contention, is the department of justice. who has the power than to prosecute some of these people. for example, the f b i, agents who handle this refused to testify. so we're not going to hear about accountability, which is something that we keep hearing from, from the survivors. the athletes who are testifying today, still no accountability,

but at least the radically we'll have a crystal array. what mechanisms now in place to make sure that survivors listen to . but of course, this is systemic. this is something we've heard since the beginning of a me to movements you know, began that the point is so i was all listen to men and power abuse, abuse, depositions of power with impunity. when they were christopher, i have to say at least when it comes to the f b i, i was 0, is she have time c reporting live that from capitol hill? she helped many thanks. indeed. in afghanistan, it's been a month since the taliban seized the capital cobble and took control of the government and country after its military success. it's now facing the challenge of creating a durable administration. the country's economy is in ruins, unemployment, as high according to the world food program, up to 14000000 people are on the brink of starvation, decades of war. i've also displaced tens of thousands of africans who need urgent humanitarian aid in order to survive the global community, which has pledged more than a $1000000000.00. an aid says that it will hold the taliban to its promises on

upholding human rights. i'll just here as a solid jump. it is in couple 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 brides in the street. they can drop on their mobile phone, the walk in the speed, 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, they're washing machines, refrigerators, son, carpet, every everyday item that people's itself to try and make a quick fuck so they can put food on the table. this is the news from us. there are still to come. paintings crisis deep and the prime minister sacks, the prosecutor, was accused him of links to the president, murder, child labor in india, how a magazine produced by youngsters is raising awareness of the issue. and it's thought of christiana, rinaldo, gold comp saved message to you. and i said from the champions league to fix ah, haiti's prime minister audio audrey has sacked the chief prosecutor who wants him

charged over the murder of president jovan our boys. the chief prosecutor also asked immigration agents to bar the prime minister from leaving the country. president voice was assassinated in july, and court documents say that henri was called twice to the hours after his death, by one of the main suspects. let's get more of this now. from out of here as john holeman, who's lived for us in mexico city, john, curious and curious. where does this leave the case against, henri? well, you won't be surprised that it leaves it really up in the air at the moment depending on your interpretation of the law and the constitution. now, haiti's constitution, right now, states but only the president can find this. public prosecutor, not the country's prime minister, but right now, obviously haiti has no president because he was killed in july. so laundry is the de facto leader of the country. there's also a question about,

even if this public prosecutor actually is fine, does that mean that the cases dropped? now what legal unless have said is that the case is already in the hands of the judge, this letter sent by the public prosecutor accusing audio. murray is already in the hands of the judge. so technically, the judge now has 3 months still to decide what to do about the case if there's enough evidence to take this further. now, let's just give you a quick recap. now we're up to, into the accusations against the countries prime minister audio. very basically those accusations are that in the night that the country president was murdered. he was in court with one of the key suspects. the allegedly was close to the house of the president the night, but by killing actually took place. so that's what the public prosecutor is alleging at the moment. and those are the serious charges if they are actually proved. and all of this comes at a moment when he is already meyer in crisis, isn't it? yeah, definitely. a month ago,

there was a major earthquake in the countries southwest and we're hearing reports even yesterday, just talking to our colleagues in haiti, there's still some communities in the south with the struggling to get any through to, to and some people who are actually starving. so that's one problem. another problem, the gangs in that country as the political instability has continued, they've really run riot. even when we were covering the earthquake, there was a road heading out of the capital to get to the earthquake zone. there for a few days was basically on travel because there was a battle between 2 gangs there. that's just one example of the fights, especially in port to prince, the capital of the country between different groups. and then we come back again to the political situation in the country. it has no president, it has a parliament that is not working at the moment. it has few actually elected officials. now what the prime minister re announced that he was going to do on

saturday was going to try and go for new constitution. and then that would lead to new elections. they originally scheduled for november and it doesn't look like that will happen. now, according to the torture in haiti that will even be interpreted as a power grab who is a fresh start to really get this country up and moving a game by someone who previously was regarded as a political moderate in that country. so obviously there's a lot of things to be resolved in haiti, the poorest country in the americas. and now there's only more political instability and lack of leadership. to do that, i'll just hold on reporting live from mexico city, john. many thanks. deed will haitians who have left the country are among the migrants and asylum seekers, stuck in a border city and southern mexico. they're struggling to find food and shelter while they're trying to avoid deportation. authorities have been accused of using excessive force to stop them from heading to the u. s. to zeros manuel or below is in top of trula in the mexican state of chiapas. he's with us now life money set

the scene for us. how serious is this migrant christ in southern mexico? well, to set the scene, we are in the city center of july, just about 50 kilometers north of mexico border with guatemala and mexico, along with the 5 countries of central america, celebrating or had begun independence day celebrations. but here in tampa to love those celebrations are due to not only because of the ongoing coping, 1900 health emergency, but because of the ongoing migrant prices. and to give you a sense of the scale of the crisis here in the city of sheila, the municipality of that. but she lives counts with somewhere around $350000.00 inhabitants. and the estimates that we're hearing are anywhere between 35100000 migrants, predominantly from haiti as we mentioned. but we've also encountered people from, from venezuela, from cuba, and of course, from central america, predominantly from honduras. now, our perception here is that this is

a dire situation. international observers, i've certainly said that this is an unsustainable situation. take a look. there is a humanitarian crisis unfolding in southern mexico. for months, waves of migrants and asylum seekers, mainly from haiti in central america have poured into the city of a true yeah. bottle migrants rights advocates see a national policy by the mexican government aimed at preventing migrants from making their way north towards the united states has turned the city into an open air prison for refugees stop by law s. we'll need to put him live in hill. got it isn't illegal, prison, because nowhere in the law does it say that migrate can only be kept in one street, turned into concentration. mexican immigration laws are being averted and manipulated in order to appeal the united states. sabi f thought money for land on the streets of temper eula are packed with migrants. this woman who has asked us to

conceal her identity is one of more than 35000 haitian nationals currently stuck into a shula. she says, food and shelter or in short supply. and that the situation here grows more dire by the de la canada and we had the along what we make a day is not enough for food. and many of us migrants are sleeping in the park on top of each other, begging for food. if a mexico's president doesn't do something for us, people are going to begin to steal. and we don't want that. what we want is help and to allow us to keep moving. since the start of the year, mexico's national immigration strategy has been one of containment into a to learn hundreds of migrants queue up outside the cities, immigration officers almost every day. here, confusion range intentions are on the right. the vast majority of people we've encountered outside this government office building say they're growing desperate without

a clear answer from authorities as to what it's going to take to obtain the necessary paperwork. and finally, be allowed to leave a jeweler. despite promises from mexican political leaders to respect the ranks of migrants and asylum seekers, those who try to leave us without the necessary paperwork are quickly rounded up. 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 in very difficult and vulnerable situations. as we've discussed, there are many women and children and children who are actually in a company. that means they do not have a family member or guarding, sometimes children who are very young age. and so what governments need to do that are involved in managing migration is that they need to make sure that the human rights are expected and that these very vulnerable people are protective migrant shelters in this part of the country have reached the maximum capacity. and some

have experienced outbreaks of coven 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 money is the strategy of containment in southern mexico actually working is it reducing the number of migrants heading north towards the u. s. there's been a lot of criticism over mexico is current immigration strategy, not only because of these documented cases of abuse against migrant, but because since the start of the years up actually become the largest bottleneck for migrants on the american continent. and despite this policy of containment, there does not appear to be any meaningful impact on the number of migrant arriving on the u. s. southern border. in fact, since in july of this year, there was a record number of migrants arriving on the southern border of the united states.

now traditionally, immigration numbers do tend to slow down during the summer months does not appear to be the case this year. and even though we're no longer seeing these large group, these migrate caravans that are leaving stuff that you let, because they're quickly rounded up, quickly, dispersed by authorities and brought back that up by us. we are still seeing small groups of people making their way through the jungle, risking reducing their, their lives to, to avoid capture by authorities. but that trickle that, that constant stream of migrants heading north definitely have not thought out of here. it's not about ref hello, reporting live from top of july in mexico. many, many thanks. date. we're halfway through this. these are still to come on the program police just from the trial of a full cost of our military commander facing war crimes charges. plus the efforts to save rooms, historic pine trees from a very new invader sport. the dosing rules, the end of this sprint limping stream could be about to change the details coming

up place. ah and the way we go with your weather forecasts for the middle east. nice to see you . i've put the colors on this map. so the darker the color, the higher the temperature. but i also wanted to show you the winds here coming down from iraq. so this is going to swirl up the sand and does for places like your weights and go up with a higher $41.00 degrees. will look for wind gusts here on thursday at about 40 kilometers per hour, out toward the rain that we could be seeing across the middle east for the higher grounds. if yemen spilling into the he jazz mountains, in saudi arabia, there is a threat of some rain pushing into southern parts of pakistan impacting grouchy. it's dry in the north. the hor at 40 degrees, but a wind direction shift will put your temperature down.
