biggest intercontinental ballistic messiah david said me is a senior associate at the center for strategic and international studies, which is a think tank based in washington. he says this latest test is a wearing development. it comes in the context of north korea carrying out more missile launchers over the past 3 months. but it has said any period of time, then the last 5 or 6 years, including its largest ballistic missile launched a couple weeks ago and indications that it's reading up as nuclear weapons production facility the same time. there were a variety of reasons behind the north koreans are doing the election and south can we have a new harder line president of the beginning of u. s. south korean military maneuvers on monday. but in many ways, i think the goes koreans are flexing your muscles because they want to be paid attention to. but the word ukraine having the international attention north korea's

used to being seen as a big player, someone who a country that everyone has to pay attention to and to try to do things to propagate. and that it's what sort of fall off the map in the last few months. so i think there's a combination of factors here, but this new capabilities that they're, they're not breath technically new. it's an evolution of an existing this all the k and 23. but these evolution luca capacities do show a greater level of threat, particularly to south korea and japan. the biden administration is reversing a time it change initiative. it will resume selling leases to allow companies to drill for oil and gas on federal land. it's also increasing the royalties collected from energy companies by 50 percent. the change comes as the u. s. president is under pressure to reduce energy prices. the move goes against his election campaign place not to allow more drilling on government owned land. robert percival is the director of the environmental law program at the university of maryland. he says

the biden administration is changing its policy reluctantly. president biden had pledged during the campaign that he would stop growing on federal lands. it's proven to not be as simple as that though he issued such an order. when he also rejoined the paras climate agreement, that all the nations of the world have joy. but there was a lawsuit brought that said that federal law requires that the federal government periodically offered leases, and the court ruled that the law until it is changed requires that, that be done. what the by the administration announced yesterday was that they're going to offer a little bit of land, 80 percent less than previously had been scheduled to be offered. and that they were basing this on careful environmental impact assessment to minimize the damage

to the environment. so of course climate change was so urgent that the irina stretcher would like for us to immediately reduce production of fossil fuels as much as possible. but that's proven to not be legally possible. 1000 have gathered across pakistan, including his capital is lemme back to support our the prime minister iran con. he's on the national campaign to reaffirm his public popularity. cotton was removed from office last week after losing a no confidence voted. faced by opposition. politicians, shabba sharif command hider was at the demonstration, is from a bad match, gave rally, and the southern board of karachi, where the outer prime minister on, on book 2, tens of thousands of papers from all walks of life, family, the elderly, the children, and as you can see behind me even head in their clamor bod,

places like botswana and south africa. we've had those devastating floods. we are going to see more wet weather focus, quite lunar towel, in particular for durban in the days ahead, which isn't going to help the flood situation here that to weather update. i saw a special ed line of the journey with the stage of fit and it's time for a different approach. one that is going to challenge the way you think was wor, inevitable. i just want the started to please though that they're not doing the right thing. let's leave simplicity to the headlines. join me as i take on the lars dismantled misconceptions and debate. the contradictions do we have a real democracy here in the united states? postal political florida letter wrote a cool insurgency on mark lamar hill, and it's hard to get up front right here on out 0.

a more than 4000000 ukrainian south become refugee since the conflict began. some 300000 of them had gone to germany for german z arrival is a reminder of the syrian refugee crisis. a time when the government was criticized for not doing enough, but as dominic caden reports, people hope lessons have been learned. tuesday morning and stieglitz and follow reesa and her children. it's time for breakfast as ukrainian refugees. they're currently living with a host family. the transition from walls own to berlin suburb was initially hard, but already her children are learning german and larissa says she feels this country has been very welcoming and known. you mythical plenty to throw in a lump on the government has been very supportive. they've given us money, health insurance. they've helped us a lot. we don't feel like refugees. we have the same rights as germans. it's help to make us feel like we have a 2nd home here in the nearly 2 months since the war began. many millions of people

have fled ukraine. fewer than one in 10 of them has come to germany, making the sort of journey that millions of other refugees made in the last decade . when the people getting of trains in the big cities were mostly syrian. although the then german government said it could cope with their arrival, there were many problems once they arrived. the 1st thing was that they had to stay in the massacre mentation, follow, researching in the reception center. and that could last month, sometimes years before they found on the, on the bell and housing. so that was a huge challenge. and the 2nd is when they come with a family kits they have to go to school. so are integrating them into school learning the language and learning though and drama way off of the school system. although the situation for refugees here is better now that experience has etched itself onto the collective memory and forced politicians to change policy. you know,

a bonus like young and at least the new government has offered support on a large scale to the federal states. this has allowed us to give refugees better opportunities for integration. this is a clear message. we're doing it better, we're doing it differently and we've learned from the mistakes of the pastor. there is another important difference between then and now ukrainians have the right to visa free travel across much of the u. syrians do not. which helps to explain why most of the ukrainian refugees in europe have not come to germany. where as most of the syrians did so when ministers say that they are dealing with the problems now better. but my to in part b, because the need for resources is being tested, fall less than it was back then. dominant came al, jazeera berlin to the philippines. now where the search continues for people missing. after tropical storm meggy struck the islands more than

a 160 people have been killed in at least a 110 on accounted for. jemila alan duncan has the latest from bay bay city in late a province. the government clarifies, there is no plan to stop retrieval operations despite this possibility being discussed on the ground. in fact, they're hoping they see that the weather participates and that if it continues to be sunny, they'll finally be able to bring in heavy equipment and implement a full scale retrieval operations. many believe that the hundreds remain buried in many areas of later province. and even for a country often battered by natural disasters, typhoon maggie is an unusual occurrence. it is supposed to be the hottest period of the year. and it comes as the province in particular is still reeling from the impacts of typhoon riot super typhoon that battered the eastern desires region. last december, it also comes as millions of families, particularly the thousands who live in late. the province is commemorating one of

the holiest week of catholicism, is supposed to be a period when families are getting together to celebrate. instead, many people say there is quite a gloom, a level of grief that has imp envelopes. many communities here. it's raining again in parts of south africa, which are cleaning up after the worst flooding in 60 years. rescuers is still searching for survivors or meet. i mean, every, for some debit. not only has the flooding killed, hundreds of people destroyed homes and businesses. it's all so badly damaged infrastructure in and around the port city of dublin. here in amanda, there's been no electricity running water or at least 5 days. and people have to queue at what is essentially a burst water pipe to connect water in buckets. many of them walking several

kilometers to get yeah, they assembly districts local. ugh, i let you ever since the floating started, we have had no water and have to walk from far about 30 minutes to get here. and we have to go back and forth to get enough water for the laundry to cook. and we have to keep coming here while it does, when we do, do i feel awkward. we spend the whole day here because when you're down there, we start fetching our own water and then we have to help others because you can see it's risky. so you have to help them. some of them are small kids and if they go down, they may get hurt. one south african president form, of course, has describes the flooding, mud slides, and land slides as catastrophic. one of the worst incidents south africans have seen in decades more than 40000 people have been affected. some of them displaced. and it's likely that the death toll will rise in the coming days as bodies are found under rubble under destroyed homes and other buildings. there is concern

about the worsening weather conditions, but for now the rain seems to be limited to a drizzle in many parts of the provinces and people continue to try and mock up. but it continues to situations like this where there's limited access to utilities, necessities and people are complaining that the government hasn't done enough to help people in situations like this, despite promises from the government and they're doing everything they can to help the people affected. somali is newly elected, parliament is preparing to choose. a president, members met for the 1st time after being sworn in on thursday and appointed a 10 person committee to lead the process. somalia struggled with political instability and the threat of famine for decades. violent protests and street fighting between rival booth set back the election process since the last president,

mama's term ended in february of last year. not planned to drill for oil in democratic republic of congo are alarming environmental groups. government leaders have approved the auction of 16 blocks of land for oil exploration. 9 of them are in the sensitive ecosystem of cavity central in the congo river basin. it's the world's 2nd largest forested area. after the amazon greenpeace africa is describing congress plan as a historic error that must be scrapped at last year's comp $26.00 climate conference in glasgow. donor countries page $500000000.00 to protect congolese rain forests. elegant, such as an emerging markets economists. he says a compromise needs to be found between oil and environment in the rain forest area of d r. c. mostly that's right. all these, all these oil concessions come off the back, all the pressure in europe, and i think the show

a reasonable amount of shot business. now by putting these are at this point in time, we all know there's a control consider but the question is about environment with both a, basically the importance of the lease base has only grown the whole. the question is, you know, how will become release of this? you know, the dive is moving in the other direction. what people realize that there is, there is a tremendous need or not resources for oil accelerated by the situation ukraine, so they'll be some backlash. but congress to important to just out on me. i mean, if you look in the scheme of the clue, a cocker forest already, well,

be well into the future. and i think people will see some kind of accommodation. you know, you just thought economic development. but at the same time, going to protect that, we saw it all, but i think those compromise will be found some years just in, in their reports that palestinian worship as being for says, forcibly dispersed from the accent mosque compound. israeli forces have increased their presence at the compound in occupied east jerusalem. and they've been accused of a flagrant violations after violently confronting palestinians on friday. next bringing natasha butler. natasha. good name, i'm sorry. who joined us from occupied east jerusalem. and natasha. tell us about what's been happening at the alex family compound this morning. so it looks like some things began developing at about dawn. that is

a right before the early morning prayer for muslims. what we do know is that today at $730.00 local, which is right about now would be the time that jewish a people as well as non muslims, would be allowed into the l ox, a compound for jews. this is known as the temple mount and does hold very wholly for jews. it would be the 1st time that they would be allowed into the l ox a compound. since monday we are sorry, sorry since friday when we saw that violence that resulted in more than 150 people being injured and more than of 400 being arrested. i'm gonna turn around here. the ox, a compound is behind me, and i've just heard what sound perhaps, like some stun grenades. just let me move out of the picture. but we have reports that already there are 2 injuries this morning. a palestinian red crescent is saying one person was hit with a rubber bullet. another was beaten journalist on the ground are saying that young

palestinians have been prevented from entering the l. ok. so compound is really police are say that they entered the ox a compound a little bit ago because people had gathered rocks and created a kind of barricade that would have prevented a jewish groups from entering the compound. as you know, this is a very tense situation. people are in a state of agitation. i don't know if my photographer can pan over. i'm gonna step into frame. but if you look over here, run the mount of olives. it has a nice overlook of l ox. a compound. there is a group of young men, maybe about a dozen to 15, who were told were prevented from entering alex a compound and they are now here, glued to their phones and watching what's happening right. and this size, of course, natasha, as you said, has been a for a long time now. flash point of tensions between israelis and palestinians. and

these current tensions are coming at a very particular time for, for both sides of course. and at a time when we've seen increased violence against palestinians not just in occupied territories, but oh, in occupied territories, like in the west bank. of course. yes. so what we've been seeing is definitely what many would describe as kind of a tinderbox ah, because of a sequence of events we have since march 22nd, a series of attacks in israel that killed 14 israelis. then in response, we had an operation by the israeli military in the west bank, in which about 2 dozen palestinians were killed. several of them are unarmed, and a dozens of people arrested. there is a lot of anger and frustration. again, i'm hearing bangs, i'm gonna step out of frame. i just want to explain that i have been told that

jewish groups have now entered the l ox a compound. but getting back to what i was saying, then we had friday. it was the 2nd friday during ramadan, and it was very tense atmosphere because going into going inter friday, people who are already feeling a bit of outrage, different rumors whirling that an extremist jewish group would invade, quote, unquote, the compound that didn't happen. but as you know, there was violence anyway between the worshippers and the israeli police. the hope for sure is that things will be calm today. this is after all, a easter indeed. natasha. thank you very much for that update. natasha. go name live there in occupied east, jerusalem. ah, that lines on al jazeera, this hour. russia is urging the remaining ukrainian soldiers in the besieged city
