perpetrated his view out amount since the taliban took control of afghanistan. tough challenges lie ahead to create a viable and effective government. ah . the united states has condemned the latest ballistic missile launch from north korea calling for destination of tension on the peninsula. but in the surprise, move, just hours later, the south flex. it's military. might i successfully testing this are launched from on the war set. it's the 1st country without nuclear weapons to develop such a system. rob mcbride reports from soul this highly provocative missile tasked with carried out while china is foreign minister, one year within sol, for tools with his south korean counterparts with north korea high on their agenda . 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 wang's 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 res, hoping china will use its considerable influence over north korea to bring it back to the negotiating table. but with each missile lodge but seems less likely and shows even china's control over its neighbors 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, us olympic gymnasts have told us senators that they feel betrayed by the f. b. i failing to seriously investigate disgrace team, dr. larry nasa, for athletes who suffered sexual abuse by nasa up and testifying at a senate hearing into the f. b. i's mishandling of the case. prosecutors estimate the nasa or assaulted hundreds of women's and women and girls. he's been sentenced

to up to 175 years in prison. i don't want another young janice olympic athlete, or any individual to experience 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 it to be clear. i blame, learn that sir. and i also believe in an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse. this was very clear cookie cutter pedophilia and abuse. and this is important because i told the f, b i all of this and they chose to falsify my report and to not only minimize my

abuse, but silence me yet again. i thought, given the severity of the situation, they would act quickly for the sake of protecting other girls, but instead it took them 14 months to report anything. when larry nascar, in my opinion, should have been in jail that day. also, harris shall have returns. he has been listening to proceedings on capitol hill. she had the f b, i director says the agent who botched the master investigation no longer works for the bureau in any capacity. but it's clear from the testimony that we've heard over the past couple of hours. this is about much more than the f b i's failings. and you're right, but actually interestingly that f b i agent was when the announcement came this morning, a few hours before the hearing that he'd been fired from the f b i, we've had some time for the f. b. i tamales things over and it only now this little bit of accountability. but having said that there this f b i, agent and other f b i, agent. there's also a field office in california. certainly the ones in indianapolis. they lied to the

f b i. when the investigation is underway and as we keep hearing from us and it says, look, if you like the f b i, then you get prosecuted. why did the dear j, as i had not to prosecute these these, these offices, the d o j refuse to come to this hearing, to testify, to give their reasons without lack of accountability. but yes, accountability the f. b, i is being called for by the survivors and the senators, but also in the usa, gymnastics organization, i'm the u. s. l m pick empower and i'm pick committees because the picture that was, was drawn for the seventy's. and for us, from the 5 that before gymnast was off a concerted effort at cover up by all these, by all these agencies. and i think part of what was shocking was as, as i earlier as been, one of the olympians said, is that you're talking about reform and christopher res, currently the f. b i, a director general is

a discussing before now. but you don't even know the extent of the problem and so that, so this wasn't just the parable counting of a pooling details of abuse and neglect. but it was very practical suggestions had been said, look, need an independent, full investigation, not just into the conduct of nasa and the f, b i as they were looking into master. but a student type organization that allowed this to happen. not just an even gymnastics, but if these committees are in charge and trusted with safeguarding young people as they compete for their country and i found to be so failing to such a degree, in this particular case, surely there has to be an independent destination. going back decades to find out how deep the problem is, who is involved, whether people who looked away is out of your rights and said to their abuse, still in charge without. but how can you talk about reform? and i think it's a very, very good question. i was serious. she had a chance that live on capitol hill. it's been

a month since the taliban seized control of afghanistan's capital campbell and took control of the government southwards military success. it's now facing the challenge of creating a durable administration. the country's economy is in ruins. unemployment is high. and according to the world food program, up to 14000000 people are on the brink of starvation. decades of war have also displaced tens of thousands of afghans who need urgent humanitarian aid to survive the global community, which has pledged more than $1000000000.00 made so. so that will hold the taliban to its promises on upholding human rights. now there are some have been jump, it is in couple in the last 4 weeks, what people have gotten has been telling us, if there is been a welcome change of at least a lot more security or the checkpoint, they've gone. they don't have to pay brides 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, their 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 withdraw about $200.00 every week. now, most of the employees we spoke to that were from the government. they were policemen. they were military official and they were still a servant who haven't been paid for month. where we are right now is a market which is popped up on both sides of the road. as over 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, their 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. for palestinian political prisoners met their lawyers for the 1st time since being re arrested by israeli

police. they were among 6 inmates escaped last week. the other 2 are still in hiding. hurry faucet reports now from occupied east jerusalem. well, up until now the information about the interrogation of these 4 men is largely being in the form of leaks to the israeli media of exactly what they've been telling their interrogate is. this is the 1st time that we've heard directly, or at least one remove from the men themselves through the voices of the lawyers. because this is the 1st time that louis have access to these 4 men. now my food is the one who's been reported to be the ringleader, the mastermind behind this escape. and that is very much the claim that he's making for himself. it seems saying that it was his idea that this was an operation limited to the 6 men who escaped their reports. news rarely media this week that they are a suspected 11 prisoners to have been involved. he says, no, it was just the 6 and they received no help from the outside as well. also saying

that they requested no help from locals in the larger palestinian israeli towns in the area of northern israel where they were on the run and where they were captured . on monday. again, israeli media reports suggesting that they did ask for help and that they, they were informed on by palestinian israeli. is that something that is not being corroborated in the men's testimony to the lawyers? they're saying that they were simply charged upon by police patrols. as for mohammed alada, my cousin, he is saying that the 5 days of liberty were worth the 22 years of being imprisoned. and it was worth this escape attend. he's also telling his lawyer that he's being mistreated in the interrogation procedure that he's being kept awake, deprived of sleep, deprived until the day before of food. and that the conditions are extremely harsh . muddle from the habit has been subjected to extremely cruel torture. he still is,

he was subject to excessive aggression during his detention. he had his head bashed against the grain, his head was injured, he has an injury above his right eye. he's not received you medical care up until this moment. he has scratches and moons all over his body. that was part of the escape and the hunt for him. and zachary, as who bady by the occupation forces. he was transferred to nazareth investigation center. after he was detained, there he was interrogated in a way that was extremely terrible. some 20 intelligence officers investigated him in a tiny room. they stripped naked. and we've also heard from the lawyer of zachary who bates, the latter locks of martyrs brigade leader. the highest profile of these escapees. again saying that they deliberately avoided palestinians really areas of northern israel so as not to incriminate people. and they were without water for the entire time making do what, what they could in terms of fruit that they found in the fields. his lawyer also saying that he received

a broken jaw and broken ribs in his arrest on that early saturday morning. of course, there are 2 who remain at lodge. there are reports for the remaining 2 have now got into the west bank into their home area in and around jeanine. and that makes it a true, an extremely difficult and potentially very dangerous recapture attempt if that were carried out by the israeli military. because if there were a fire fight, if there was bloodshed, this could spill over into wide violence. we've got a weather update next year. and i was here then child labor and india, how a magazine produced by youngsters is raising awareness of the issue. i will take a look at the efforts to save rooms, historic pine trees from a very near invader. ah.
