ah, al jazeera with ah, north korea fi as a 5th ballistic miss on a little more than a month as talks with the u. s. stall over its controversial nuclear program. ah, i'm sammy's aiden. this is al, just they are alive from dell hall. so coming up me and miles, military leaders released democracy activists as they come under pressure from the regional block, a z, an armed gangs kill dozens of people in nigeria as troubled northern region and

have a live update. one of our great military leaders in man, overwhelming decency president joe biden, leads tribute to america's 1st black secretary of state colin powell. but iraqis, blame him for the devastation of thy country. ah, we begin in north korea and the launch of a ballistic missile. south korea is reposing, at least one was fired into the sea of japan. the military says the weapon may have been designed for submarine launches, a trilateral meeting of intelligence chiefs from the u. s. japan and south korea has been cold. they agreed to strength and cooperation. japan's prime minister is cancelling election events and condemning the tests. it's like your though it is very regrettable that the country has continued launching missiles since last month

. the you couldn't sleep villa. i'd rather not predict north korea's intentions of firing the missiles from my point of view, but i think we must continue making efforts on grasping the situation and collecting information. katrina, you have the latest from beijing now. well, according to the south korean government, it took place at 10 17 am on tuesday, local time from the area in north korea on the coast known as sin pole. now this area is the base of north korean submarines. it has a naval shipping yard there as well. now what we don't know is whether dismissal was launched from the submarine. and if it was, this would be the 1st successful test of this technology by north korea, or whether it was fired from the test barge. as p young has done previously, we do have some conflicting report. south korea says it was just one missile. while japan says there were 2 missiles. now shortly after it was flying, south korea security council convened. they expressed deep regret at the incident,

echoing the sentiments of japan's prime minister. the u. s. has released the strongest statement condemning the test, urging north korea to refrain from further destabilizing acts and china for its pull. it had very muted language. it simply urge both policies, both north and south korea to continue efforts to maintain peace in the region. japan is particularly concerned about this slide. just off the coast of japan, japan so far says there were no damages or casualties, but they are keeping a close eye as is china and south korea of course. and the for good reason. they're also racing themselves for possible future missile tests. this is the 8th so far this year. bye young young. earlier test breached un sanctions. and the last test before this was just a few weeks ago, at the end of september, when come young tested a hypersonic missile by law. the shop found is an adjunct professor of political

science and international affairs at temple university, japan. he explains why north korea would conduct test so soon after the u. s. reaffirmed readiness to resume talks. it always, traditionally north korea tried to increase its leverage and talks, which is why when ever there were going to be diplomatic meetings, whether we're talking about the 6 party talks, whether we're talking about one on one meetings were bilateral meeting meetings with the united states. it was very common for north korea to kind of do a demonstration for us to show that it had the upper hand to try to try to get more concessions from its counterparts, mostly the united states. so this is like the indeed what north korea is trying to do at the moment, all though it might appear to little perplexing, given the fact that north of the united states has reached out to north korean bite and said very clearly, they're willing to meet north korea without precondition the can. john regime so

far has rebuffed to all of these overtures by the united states over over the last few years. there have certainly been some significant advances by north korea. there's been a flurry of tests over the last few weeks, so not only the past from this morning, but there was recently a long range cruise missile that they tested. north korea has also, has also claimed to have tested a hypersonic weapon. there are very few countries in the world and master this technology, so it really illustrate very vividly the extent to which north korea is willing to do almost anything. it can to make sure to have as powerful a deterrent as possible and to make sure that it is able, the regime is able to survive in the face of what it sees as the hostile us policy toward north korea. so it's all about really creasing in survival and it determines kit, in deterrent capabilities. main mas, mandatory government is releasing political prisoners. relatives have been waiting out by the prison in the young, gone to be grants freedom to those. it's

a part in the queue demonstration, but most of the leaders of the former government, including on fans to cheat, will remain in detention. mean mars move follows a decision to exclude the gym to lead a min online from an upcoming summit. money. my sister was arrested after someone reported her for publishing books. they ordered 50 books from her and arrested her with police vehicles and military trucks. i hope that she gets released soon. she has 2 kids at home. i want her home as soon as possible. skyler has more now on the reasons behind the amnesty, the un special repertoire to me and me are put it pretty much in those words. he said that, you know, these print they, they welcome the prisoner releases. but they said that the un said that they should never, never have been put behind bars to begin with. and it's not necessarily a change of heart, but it, them reacting to pressure. and that pressure really started last weekend when

asi on the block of 10 nations here in se asia said that the leader, that the job to lead him in on line was not going to be attending a summit and aussie on summit that will be next week at the virtual summit that he is not invited a non political member from me and mars joint would be able to come, but not the leader of the job itself. so you can look at this and it is being seen as a bit of a reaction to that pressure. the release of these prisoners, they came out, the government came out and made a statement yesterday that that's not what they're doing. this is because they, they said that they wanted to have a humanitarian act by the judge to release these prisoners. but it's very difficult not to see it as a reaction to what happened over the weekend. and that, that, that the leader men on lie of the agenda is not going to be attending that out on. so it will be interesting to see how that unfolds next week in the several days over that summer. to see how the member that isn't by the judge will be interacting

with these other austin nations as well as other outside the region actors to now at least 43 people have been killed by attackers in nigeria. so cocoa state gunman, storm the markets, and go on your on sunday. their assault carried on into monday morning. attacks by our gangs have been increasing in northern nigeria. let's go live now to get a receipt. joined us from nigeria. capital a, bu just so 1st of all, let's start with the latest attack. do we know who is behind it? while sammy, these, these attacks have been carried out by armed groups in the north that have been operating in the north for them for a state in particular. they've been there for more than a decade, and they're killed. thousands of people displeased tens of thousands, most of them crossed into neighboring countries like michelle public. and because of recent military operations, they've been dislodged from most of the forest areas they've been occupied in some

for a stage. so some of them have spilled a lot into neighboring states like so could, although they keep talking. so could from time to time in from that basis in some for and other parts of north what's to niger. but now we understand that these benefits, according to officials, also have moved from that basis after they've been dislodged by military as strikes and ground operations. and they are targeting communities in other parts of north western nigeria, especially as states like so called to state. and why are we seeing security deteriorate in the north? likely? basically you saw me the northwest has vast areas in one state, in particular commuter state. you can fit in the entire states in the southeast of the country, 5 of them into that state and who still have some space. now, you also have issues of governors. these that are a lot of and govern spaces in the north west of the country,

like just in the northeast of the country. why bulk or another? and i've been operating there is little or no government presentations, funding areas, no infrastructure, no security presence, nor government facility is bad in terms of government presence, there virtually deserted, so gross, a criminal alarm goes, have taken over these spaces and operating as well. in fact, they've been imposing taxes and functions and communities like just like book or i'm did in the north west in the northeast of nigeria. and then i also feel that some of the book what i'm fighting just lot from military operations in the north east of nigeria. i've moved into the south what not the west of nigeria where they are operating alongside. i'm groups like the like the bandits as the official here called them and they're also getting a lot of money by the way, kidnapping, for rent. some is high right now in the north of the country and in the notes in front of my junior why i'm groups have been gathering hundreds of millions of

dollars since they start to these operations. so a lot of criminal gangs and of course are the individuals i catching in on the, on the, on the lucrative business, illegal business and way a north west of nigeria. so that's the situation at the moment. so, i mean, all right, thanks so much. i'm at address there in india, southern state of carola, more flooding is expected, 10 dams are nearing capacity and i've been forced to reopen off the heavy rain. thousands of people have moved to relief camps at least 38 people have died in the past week. and india's northern states of america, this also flooded heavy rain over 3 days as killed at least 16 people in the mountainous region. many parts of the state remained cut off with main highways and roads washed away. now flags across the united states are being flown at half staff to mourn the death of colin powell. at

the age of 84. he was a decorated military leader and the 1st black american to become secretary of state . but his reputation was tarnished for his false claims to justify the 2003 u. s. invasion of iraq. here's our white house correspondent, kimberly how kids. the news, the colin powell had died of covered complications came as a shock to many. powell had been battling cancer but was fully vaccinated. a sad reminder that the vaccine doesn't always offer full immunity against the disease. immediately the attributes to the retired 4 star general poured in his normally a dear friend of the patriot. one of our great military leaders and a man of overwhelming dishes. and i believe sugary palsy, yours is a soldier or what made him such an exceptional diplomat. he knew that war and military action should always be a last resort. and iraq's behavior show that as secretary of state,

under president george w bush, powell will be remembered as the person who made the case to the world in 2003 that iraqi leader, saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. a key justification for the american invasion of iraq. it was a claim he later regretted your to his credit. ah, he was accountable. yeah. he, he admitted, you know, his mistakes ah, me or later. ah, that is not something that you we've heard across the bush national security team. on monday. bush issued a statement pointing out the powell was so respected, he earned the presidential medal of freedom twice. powell, a vietnam veteran serv. most of his life in the u. s. military before he entered politics, as the 1st african american secretary of state, he set an example for those who came after him. the senate a pull, the 1st black president, brock, obama said powell never denied the role that res played in his own life. and to in

our society more broadly, but he also refused to accept that race would limit his dreams. he has been my mentor for a number of years. i always made time for me and i can always go to them with what tough issues. colin powell served multiple republican presidents, but later in life endorsed democratic candidates for president, he put duty to country above allegiance to any political party. yet another reason that in a divided united states, americans from the right and left are honoring the example set by colin powell. kimberly how can al jazeera washington in there aren't many a blaming colin powell. so the 2003 invasion and the years of war that followed the underwood was a happy man died, but will not forget what he did to iraq and his wrong policy, which let to,

to day. he was difficult to handle and didn't want this to bill to of iraq. yes, heart is filled, policy led to the destruction and to all would be fell. iraq. and it unfortunately took us backwards said i had an al jazeera canada has begun to face the reality of the truth of this country. after a long delay, canada's prime minister visits a former residential school where the remains of indigenous children were found. and the un sends a special envoy is in bob way to assess the effects of decades of u. s. and e u sanctions ah, the hi there. we've had rock in storms across the east coast of australia. so for
