until mccrae, this is al jazeera live from doha. also coming up. it's unprecedented. it's on loft. it's on american. you as president joe biden urges americans to protect democracy with less than a week to the midterm elections. a breakthrough and a brutal boy ethiopian government forces and to grind rebels agree to stop fighting . and we meet the you many artist who's found inspiration from the world cup and cutter. ah, north korea has fought and other 3 missiles, the latest in a string of provocations. it comes the day off to pyongyang launch $23.00 missiles

. the latest were too short and one long range. japan initially urged citizens to seek shelter, sang and missile had flown over the territory. but it has since walked back that morning. did you want to go to my house? i thought it the one. 0, we detected that the missile that was launched around 7 40 am might fly over japan, so we put out an alert. but later we have confirmed that the missile did not fly over japan and disappeared in the skies above the sea of japan. we say so we would like to rectify our announcement and guy, joe of rob mcbride is in. so for us and rob as we did, there's been some confusion over exactly where the missiles landed. what is the lightest that's right, we're getting more details about these 3 missiles the world detected early thursday morning, 2 of them are said to be in short range, ballistic missiles. the kind of missile that north korea has been testing pretty much continuously since the start of these. this year they flew eastwards around

330 kilometers before landing in the sea that separates the korean peninsula from japan. a by far the more most significant of the 3 mythos was the one that they detected. first thing in the morning, thursday morning and this was believe to being an intercontinental ballistic missile. now these are the much heavier, longer range missiles, the kind that north korea was testing quite regularly. back in 2017, when the korean peninsula was virtually on the verge of a conflict. these are the kind of missiles that can reach the continental united states. now, did not create assisted from testing these sorts of missiles until earlier this year, they believe to have fired off an icbm. and this would seem to be another intercontinental ballistic missile launch. it is said to have flown around 750 kilometers eastwood's and reaching out to 2 to 2000 kilometers. now it's, it's thought that the flight may well have failed after its 2nd stage,

fired because people lost track of this missile. so it crashed again. into the sea between north korea and japan, but it's not known that if it was meant to fly over the top of japan, which north korea has done very provocatively in the past. the last time was just a few weeks ago. so that's why we saw in some of the northern prefecture as of japan, this alarm being raised. but it is certainly probably sending a message to the united states ahead of the, of the mid term elections. and it has been roundly condemned by both south korea and the united states. as we've seen, the us and south korea have been holding joint military exercises. do you think this is a direct response to that by the north? these are at large scale exercises have resumed this year after a hiatus of several years, and a north korea has or is always infuriated by them. it sees them as

a rehearsal for war. so we have seen it carry out to ad flurry of miss i'll activity in the past and we are having this week joint air drills between the united states and south korean air force is involving well over 200 war plain. so yes, this is very much, i think time to coincide with that we saw wednesday yesterday and or almost 2 dozen missiles being fired off in all directions into the seas surrounding the korean peninsula. at really, really an increasing the tension levels here between the north and south. i have rob mcbride and so for us, thank you. who president joe biden says democracy in the us as under attack. he made an address to the nation just days before the mid term elections. biden says donald trump's claims about a stolen election fuel the rise of political violence, a white house correspondents, kimberly hallett reports. ah, these are the images president joe biden hopes,

attack on how speaker nancy pelosi husband, paul pelosi was struck with a hammer in his home by a right wing extremist who claims he was fighting against tyranny. biden says, the threats of political violence are searching. we can't allow the sentiment to grow. we must confronted head on. now, some conservative republican se biden's democracy speech is a desperate attempt to deflect voter attention away from crises of his own making. rising interest rates, food and fuel prices. america is going down a very dark path right now. okay. and that, that's what i see. inflation is really concerning right now. prices are just story . people can't afford anything. it's these economic concerns that are giving republicans a narrow edge and polling. if more than half of all voters identifying the economy

obvious. so indeed is the lifted dust and sand in africa as the rains go south. so we have less concerned about flooding, though it hasn't gone yet, but the incoming northeast, the breeze here out of the sahara suggests dust or rather more prevalent in places like northern nigeria. ah, the hulu

a lot of other needs also for those that are not displaced in sometimes cannot even be displeased because they're trapped in conflict. so it say it say extremely challenging, emergency, one that has required full attention, many resources, but one that has impacted because of all that. also our response in other places. and that's the warring thing, isn't it? you, none of the other crises around the world have gone away. this is taking a lot of the attention and it's taking a huge part of the funding that must make he worried for how you're going to get money to deal with people. and so many other parts of the world. yes. and it is very interesting to analyze our funding. you and it's sharon, one of the biggest humanitarian organizations because we have received some additional funding compared to last year to meet the needs of the ukraine response . but not quite enough. and right now we have a financial gap of 700000000. that's quite a lot for you and it shows $700000000.00. if you think that our income this year

would be 5 than $6000000000.00. so it's more than 10 percent, 12 percent in our income that is missing, and it is missing in specific parts of the world. them particularly worried about the middle east, the syrian refugee operation. i'm worried about the horn of africa. i was just in, so marion county, i'm worried about the sale. so an air us off acute dramatic crisis that urgently need those resources. as you know, refugees have become a political issue in so many countries and i know you've spoken out in the past about some of the language that is used about refugees, dehumanization of refugees. can i ask you about the u. k, whether is a new leadership empower and where recently the home secretary, britton's interior minister, said the numbers of people who are seeking asylum were an invasion. what he made a make up language like that. i don't think this is a very wise language. no,

we live in a world where invasions actually have recently occurred and they're different in my opinion, from what we see in european countries like the u. k. we may see, and this is something that we should take seriously spike in the rivals. and indeed, many people have tried or have crossed a channel on small boats, and we've seen a spike of that, that needs serious consideration. and we have offered the government of the united kingdom many times our assistance to help manage it more rational manner. good reception you main reception, fast procedure to determine who is a refugee and who is not end agreements with countries of origin from which people that come be not have a claim to record your protection. so need to be returned to. i think all this is possible needs to be unpacked as possible without resorting to either without
