players and coaches calling time on racism and north american ice hockey. ah, north korea has fired. what's believe to be a ballistic missile for the 2nd time this week? to japanese and south korean army leaders say it was launched into the sea off north korea's east coast. south greater military says the miss all flew for 600 kilometers at the altitude of 60 kilometers. is the 15th test this year and comes just days before the integration of south korean president elect units. so p o u. s . believes north korea is also preparing for a nuclear missile test over kelly is a professor of political science and diplomacy at pusan at national university. he thinks it's like the pyongyang wants to send a message to south korea's new president. so you will becomes present in

a couple of days, i believe on may 10th. right. and i think the idea is to sort of signal for the south koreans, you know, we're still here yet seriously. campuses around the north koreans abundance in the past. if i remember correctly when brock obama was inaugurated, there was a test and i think when park and hey was inaugurated present south, there was a test drive train with a long history of sort of doing this. and it's kind of a mixed signaling and bullying. now i haven't done a new test since 2017. you may recall for a short time, donald trump, for president. and there were sort of an effort to reach out to the north koreans for 2 years. it looked like there might be some kind of detente breakthrough in the north, korean sort of hell off. but that really didn't go anywhere. the north korea instantly put much on the table to be fair. the americans didn't really either. and so the whole thing kind of came apart, and if you're north korea, you're really not seeing much movement. i'm going to go station table. and 3rd year, i presume the thinking is something like we need to keep on escalating rights and trans, can't get a decent deal out of south korean, the united states, and they're going to want to really bulk up on the deterrence. and that means a regular testing program. i think the big concern in the last couple weeks had

been the north trains have gotten a lot more aggressive. and the rhetoric is talking about using these things outside of defense scenarios. and that's got everybody's scared right? that they may be thinking of using a cram delay or something. now there's roslyn tilden in washington, dc has more now on the us warnings of a potential nuclear test. earlier this week to news organizations here in the u. s . reported that according to military and intelligence officials, they were detecting the apparent ramp up at a of activity at the site where underground nuclear testing happens inside north korea. if this does happen during the month of may be the 1st time in more than 4 years, that of the of young young government would have carried out what is considered under international law and illegal nuclear ro arms test. this is of course, a situation that very much has on the u. s. and south korea concerned, especially because of their just out some 28000

u. s. forces inside of south korea. but there have not been any nuclear weapons stationed on south korean soil since the early ninety's. and that was at the order of the president at the time george h. w bush of the u. s. is also trying, but so far, unsuccessfully to get north korea to return to the bargaining table without pre conditions about efforts to end it's nuclear weapons program. the current leader has yet to respond to those overtures. one thing that is clear of the white house is already said in light of, of these reports that the u. s. president's plans to visit south korea and japan later in the month of may will not do me put off just because of this a possible threat. ukraine has taken precautions as russia rehearse, as for its annual victory day parade. monday marks the 77th anniversary of nazi

a very meager set of resources for a campaign. but how is it fed well, yes, we are here at the business district in the capital. manella and supporters are basically eager to show just how influential they have been over the last few months. there are thousands of supporters here from different sectors. majority of then young people. we've spoken to many of them. a lot of them actually 1st time voters their 1st time to register to vote. and they say basically that campaign to push for vice president lanyard. rather, the only female candidate is more than just ensuring that she becomes the next president, but also kind of an act of defiance against the last 6 years of president of the good that there this fall is these. these are young people who say they are shedding their fears, they are pushing back also against the possible return of the martha says. and you

thanks indeed. well another of correspondence. in manila, florence louis is following the macos campaign. the marcus campaign really has been able to take advantage of the fact that more than half of the registered voters in the philippines are too young to have lived through his father's administration or even to remember what of his life. it was a period rife with corruption and human rights abuses, but his campaign and his supporters have been able to repaint that as a golden era for the philippines. they talked about the infrastructure that he had built glossing over the fact that he got the country into huge foreign debt. now he has been able to do this in part with misleading posts on social media. a fact checking group says that ferdinand mar, cause junior, has been able to benefit from. mm hm. with the biggest benefit of misinformation on social media. whereas in contrast, the vice president, lenny robledo, his closest rival, was the biggest victim in the campaign of this information. now,

he has been able to do this also in part because he has a tactic of avoiding hard questions from the media. he pre selects who gets to attend his conferences. he avoids, he's very selective about who he gives interviews to. and, you know, just as an anecdote, we applied for accreditation to cover the marco's junior rally, but we were denied the rally. and the other reason is his partnership with sarah detergent, who's the daughter of the incumbent president, she herself, is running for vice president. and even though voters vote for these positions separately, he's been able to leverage on the deterred a strong hole in the south and combine them with the mark or strong hole in the north. but of course, if you speak to a supporters, they'll say that it is message of unity. even though it's simple and it's ambiguous, resonates with the seller. had hair on al jazeera trying because president imposes another state of emergency to crack down on anti government protests. and a celebration of what looks like

the police fighting t a gas as well as water cannons against protested outside the approach road to parliament. you had opposition leaders storming into the speakers office demanding that he set a date for that no confidence motion. but again, as far as the people are concerned, everyone in. a parliament is essentially looking after their own interests and very little it can happen, which is why they say their voice is not going to be coward. not going to be silent . they are taking a send and asking present got of iraq to puck, said the prime minister, and the anti government to resign. and l fernandez. joining us that from columbia, thanks very much. mel one person has been killed and protest and democratic republic of congo, at least 13 others were injured after police dispersed protests as in the capital kinshasa. it'll angry about proposed changes to their electoral law and to monahan reports what began as a sit in protest of parliament quickly turned into
