7:02 am
violate multiple un security council resolutions and our threat to the region. we call the d p r k, to refrain from further provocations and engage in said stand and substantive dialogue and our commitment at the defense of the republic of korea and japan remains iron clad. these launches also underscore the urgent need for dialogue and diplomacy. our offer remains to meet anywhere anytime without preconditions. robert kelly is a professor of political science and diplomacy a do san national university. he says north korea is using miss all diplomacy to get more attention from the white house, the advancement towards a submarine launch missile. it's actually a pretty big step. i mean, the most obvious thing it gives north gray is tremendous. rain, right. and you could send the submarine basically anywhere in the world as long as i mean on detected would just something of a challenge depending on the subs. agent, engine type, but i mean as long as that means under attack them, you could effectively launch from anywhere. the big advantage to north korea that just gives is what we called assured 2nd strike. in other words,
7:03 am
even if the united states hits all of north korea, land based weapons, north green tab, submarines, etc, that launch. and so this makes it harder for the united states to pull up a per strike against north korea, which is probably the reason why they, they, they built it. but there's also a potential authentic possibility which is it would just park this thing off the coast to california or something like that. and that is why you're going to see the american respond sharply as they have. i think the north koreans really. so they kind of maybe got their head a little bit at donald trump personally met that are 3 liter, 3 times in the north. now feel like they're entitled for presidential attention that job binding himself should be somehow involved in that that he should be speaking about north korea that he should be talking about meeting the north korean leader. and this is one of the reason why american president hadn't met the north koreans before because of something of a big give away. right. but now the north got accustomed to it sort of used to presidential attention. i think that's what they want more from the americans. and just envoys, my secretary, you know, spokesman and stuff like that. they want something higher up breaking news now out of have gone on where we're hearing there's been an explosion and it happened that
7:04 am
couples demos, zang square. that's all we know so far, but we'll get your more information as it becomes available. again, that could not members of us based christian missionary group is demanding $1000000.00 for each person. the 16 americans and one canadian were taken while returning to port au prince from an orphanage in the channel gone east of the capital. the christian aid ministries, workers had 5 children with them, including a baby, only 8 months old. out there, as many of our palo is important, for instance, tells us more about the gang involved information on the status of the 17 missionaries is quite limited. we don't know if those $17000000.00 is going to be shelled out by the aid organization. a $1000000.00 per head as the gang has put it, but local authorities here in port prints are working hand in hand with us of federal agents to find a resolution to the case of these. 17 missionaries, we know that this gang 4000 is very well known here in order
7:05 am
print the are, are known actually for these types of brazen kidnappings. just in april there was a kidnapping of a catholic clergy by this same group. now we can also tell you that the attitude from people here in port apprentice would be that we arrive, have been quite tense people are. people have been protesting that were protests on monday that were protests on tuesday. the day that we arrived, people calling attention to violence, calling attention to this worsening trend of kidnappings. and we should note that while this specific case of the 17 missionaries, as sort of captured international headlines for the simple fact that 16 out of the 17 missionaries are us citizens. in just the 1st 3 quarters of 2021. there been more than 600 reported kidnappings. this is a very serious problem here in haiti and people are calling for accountability. people are quite angry with the government, but more so than anything else. people are afraid and simply because in the wake of
7:06 am
the assassination of patient presidential nel noise in july of this year, there has been this spike in violence, a spike in fighting between rival gangs, seeking to control different areas of port a prison. people are scared that they're going to be caught in the crossfire of this of this term for here in the haitian capital. a u. s. congressional committee investigating january's assault on capital hill has voted unanimously to hold the ban and contempt of congress. here's long time a to donald trump and then improving the report. the committee said it was shocking that ban and refuse to comply with subpoena seeking documents and testimony from washington. patty, co. haine, explains the votes and what comes next. the head of the committee basically send the message to the van and saying the committee is not going to take no for an answer. so all of this is because steve bad and was very close to president trump after a brief falling out. he was in all of the meetings leading up to the january,
7:07 am
6, a rally, the former president donald trump attended and he said on his radio show, january, january, 5th the day before the attack on the capital that it's basically an i'm going to quote him all hell, going to break loose in washington tomorrow. said it's not going to be anything like what you expect. so what does that mean that he actually knows that they were eventually going to have hundreds of riders actually break into the capital come very, very close to injury law makers. that was what the subpoena was for. this january 6 commission said ok, we want to talk to you under oath. we want your records, we want id sort of documents and he said, no, you said i'm citing executive privilege just with the former president is saying that they can't have his records because of executive privilege problem with that is he's no longer the president and executive privilege lives with the current president, joe biden has said, no, i'm not going to give you executive privilege on these documents. so bad and said
7:08 am
he wouldn't do this is a lawyer asked for a delay. the committee basically just said no, no delay unanimous decision 9 to 0 to send it on to the full house. syrian refugees who return home her face, severe human rights abuses and persecution from bashar assad government and some militia in the country. that's according to a report by human rights watch. the a group spoke with syrians who returned from lebanon and jordan between 20172021. human rights watch has documented cases of arrest, torture, kidnappings, extra judicial killings. and then forced disappearances. rights group says the return ease of also struggle to survive and meet their basic needs. let's speak to built frolic, who's the refugee and migrants rights division director at human rights watch. he's also one of the editor of that report. he's joining us on skype from washington. dc bill frederick, thanks for speaking to us. so according to your report, help owner bull, our return is to serial is not
7:09 am
a safe country to return refugees. so we did documented as you said, torture enforce disappearances, persecution, widespread extortion at checkpoints. and this includes people that had clearances, supposedly before they returned, they assurances that they would not be persecuted. reconciliation agreements as they are called and no were given documents to say that they would not be hunted down. but in fact, that's exactly what happened to people. they were arbitrarily arrested, they were put into the military intelligence detention facilities, severely tortured, held incommunicado. and then, you know, after a month or 2 dumped, you know, on the streets of damascus. so it's really unpredictable. what's going to happen to
7:10 am
people who do return assurances have been violated for those people who had them. and on top of that, the, the sustainability of life in the country in many parts of the country, is really compromised. and many of the people that we interviewed came back to destroyed houses on either partially or fully damaged or destroyed, and lack of electricity, lack of transportation, of food insecurity, and no ability to work. let me ask you this, well then how do you explain, right? so then, what's your reaction to, or how do you explain when you see the un human high commission, or excuse me, for refugees, as you know for the program day, who was recently in syria and suggested that the international community should work with the government of president bush and i said to return refugees and internally displaced people. the un high commissioner for refugees to the
7:11 am
office that he represents has advised all countries around the world, not to return any syrian to any part of syria involuntarily. what the high commissioner said is that he would cooperate in the voluntary return of refugees and those who chose to return. what we are saying in this report is to look very carefully at that because people don't have fully informed information. those who have received assurances have those shirts of something violated. and the people that we interviewed coming from love on particular are under enormous pressure in that country is through being forced to demolish their shelters, through curfews and other restrictions are really quite discriminatory during the
7:12 am
convent 19 pandemic. right. so what impact 2 reports like these actually have and what are you hoping to to sort of get out of it? we're calling on denmark, for example, a country which has declared that damascus and the damascus countryside are safe for return. we're calling on them to reverse that position and we're calling for a more atoria on returns of refugees to syria. so we're really putting some real emphasis on denmark, which has come out of one of the many european union countries, but that one in particular has made this announcement number we're showing through the interviews we've conducted with people that have returned to damascus and has been persecuted when they set foot in damascus, that laughter, it's not safe. in fact,
7:13 am
for people to return there. thank you so much bill for like for joining us from washington d. c. thank you for having this. well, a giant puppet, representing an uprooted syrian child named little emma, has now landed on the coast of south east england. the 3 and a half meter, a tall puppet, was built to focus attention on the urgent needs of young refugees. it marks the end of the journey across europe that began on the turkish syrian border in july. little will now continue to dover, london on calling 3 in england before ending its journey in manchester. still ahead on al jazeera, no sign of relief is heavy, rain and flooding sweet through parts of northern and southern india and in inquiry condemns the brazilian government handling of the current of ours pandemic. but some fear the report will change. nothing. ah,
