oh, ah, this is the news are from al jazeera. these are the top stories. the saudi le coalition in yemen says it's killed at least a $160.00 hurt the fighters in murray province. dozens of air strikes were launched in support of government forces to push back the rebels. the afghan interior ministry says girls will soon return to secondary schools have only been permitted to attend primary schools since the taliban take over. access to education has been a key demand of the international community and hundreds of fishermen in sri lanka, protesting against what they say is poaching from neighboring india. i want the government to enforce a 2017 law that prevents indian fishermen from encroaching into sri lankan. now china has tested a new hypersonic missile that can carry nuclear weapons and will be difficult for us defences to detect this is coming from an investigation by the financial times
1:31 pm
which says the test took place back in august of u. s. russia and at least 5 other countries say they are working on similar technology. our hypersonic missiles can travel 5 times faster than the speed of sound that is actually slower than a ballistic miss are, but they are more difficult to track. and as they fly on a low trajectory instead of an arc and more accurate and reach targets faster. that is to put in perspective, i've got a couple of graphics here on the i pad to show you the 1st one comes from the missile defense project at the center for strategic international studies, which is a dc based at think tank. so if we look at these 1st and forgive my drawing on the map here, these 1st 8 at types of missiles have a range of up to 4000 kilometers. so that's the red line. putting in play at east in europe, horn of africa in the middle east as far south as pop and new guinea and the northern parts of australia. and right up to alaska. then you have the remaining
1:32 pm
missiles including this, a very large one here, the d, f. 5, which can go up to 15000 kilometers, see it on the small map here we're talking as far as south america. also this from raytheon, which is across the u. s. r. defense contractor. just showing what we're talking about here. hypersonic, mac 5 and above. so we've mentioned that before, 5 times the speed of sound, 1.6 kilometers every 2nd and flying very high and controlled. so it can potentially be a some sort of game changer when it comes to missiles. we're going to go to beijing now and talk to andy mark, who's a fellow at the center for china and globalization. thank you for your time. on this evening or sunday evening. first of all, what do we know about this actually happening? this could have happened to believe back in august, and it's now been revealed now. well,
1:33 pm
thank you for having me come all. no indeed. i think that the phrase that use that you use was that this could be a game changer that i think indeed it can be. so the public release of information on this hypersonic wide. this is very important from a number of perspectives. first of all, it apparently caught us intelligence by surprise. so i think that's an interesting point to note here. but i think 2nd, perhaps most importantly is the geopolitical implications in this. because as we all know, with the rationing up of tensions in the asia pacific region, that this has become very dangerous in the stabilizing. and i think china testing a missile like this can improve the stability of the region by reducing the possibility of lift calculation. because i think there is a very real danger that the u. s. miscalculate that again,
1:34 pm
if the intelligence agencies indeed missed this than this could lead to a very dangerous situation, where the u. s. could stumble into a conflict that would be through dash stress. i think now did this is become widely known that it enhances stability. ready in the region by reducing the likelihood of miscalculation conflict. but there wasn't actually expecting that on to from you. i must admit that you talk about potentially most ability. but you're saying that because of the, the type of technology in the accuracy. but it gets into a situation where, well, if they've got it, we want that. and if they've got it, we want to, and however, many countries around the world will end up beefing up their arsenals with this new deadly technology. yes, absolutely. i think he mentioned also that china is not the only country plans were advanced developed this type department,
1:35 pm
but i think that would have happened your respect to certainly, you know, the united states and russia, as you mentioned, are pursuing this technology as well. but the most dangerous flash is in asia, and the biggest risk is the us again, blundering, stumbling its way into a conflict. and i think now that it's very clear what the potential cost could be and that they were much higher than the u. s. has recognize that again, this is i think, a force for stability and do things the likelihood of conflict. and if it's the type of technology which gets shared or is it really up to individual countries if they want it, they've got to find their own way. yeah, i think that's a very good question. so we've seen of course in one sense the crown jewels of technology nuclear propulsion that the u. s. has that has shared with the u. k.
1:36 pm
ready in the most recently, australia. so i think that on the one hand, these are enormously valuable strategic technologies and because of that, any decision to share with others countries, i think it's not taken life. but again, never say never, we're in time. a great. thank you. so question mark. that was but yeah, never say never official, andy mark joining us from paging today. thank you for your time. we appreciate it. thank you. at least 11 people have been killed in landslides and floods. in the indian side of carola, more than a dozen people including 5 children, have been reported missing. rescue teams are trying to evacuate. people stranded by the flood was signed to say the volcanic eruption on the spanish island of la palmer could last for a month without the last shot right now. a lot of smoke there, but the lava has been pouring and since it began interrupting a month ago,

a big company model. it was big pharma and export based on the strong barriers exclusions for small growers. despite them being the ones to paved the way for the business years ago. and now companies with great lobbying power are taking advantage of that. and other smaller companies say staying afloat stuff as the focus on the few beauty and health products. so foreign loud nationally approach on the cost of producing and maintaining medical cannabis is extremely high for small companies that can't depend on a national market. if columbia would also bad on developing a dynamic, internal industry and families that have invested their savings. and this might have a chance long ago there was irony in the fact that a country so often associated with drug trafficking could become a power house of exporting drugs. legally, the risk though, is that this new boom will remain in few powerful hands. allison that get the under the fisco. now, a couple keeping to tigers. next door to

1:50 pm
tend to enjoy horror films more. and also people who score highly own what's called sensation seeking or dimension of sensations, very cold dis, inhibition, which is the end of the ability to lose control all to be impulsive. so that personnel to trace correlates with the person's enrollment of horror as a form of escape, horror as a way of helping us connect with others. the verdict is watching someone else go through hell might just help us feel a bit better. neil parker al jazeera london film festival chemistry. right. so exposure is coming up on this new song. the lineup is complete for final no one predicted at indian wells dishonor is here with about. so in just a moment a plan it is approaching a tipping point in the lead up to the cop 26 climate summit,
