exercises. young young as accused of firing a long range intercontinental ballistic missile. the 2nd one, the shear that comes a day after the nor fired $23.00 missiles buchanan union condoms out north korea's continuous ballistic missile launchers are actual serious provocation that threatens i, security and stability of not only the korean peninsula, but also the world. it is also a clear violation of a un security council resolution. we strongly condemn these acts. what mcbride has the latest from sol be getting more details about these 3 missiles were all detected early thursday morning, 2 of them are said to be in short range ballistic missiles. they kind of miss out 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 it is said to have flown around 750 kilometers eastwood's and reaching out to toot of 2000 kilometers. now it's a thought that it at the flight may well have failed after its 2nd stage, fired. and 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, but it is absurdly 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. and shake is a research fellow at young university institute for north korean studies and joins of from sole professor could have with us on the program. why so many missiles in so many days. i mean, what's north korea trying to say to the rest of the world? what is not is try with somebody for me. not usually when north korea, by myself or the one but 1st the 1st question is to actually improve the military abilities which it will be north grand leverage. b, b, korea and the united states. so upper which is most prom, now's the time with me. so now yesterday and today is the

warning and message to the united korea. it is vital to reactions to the reduce it to begin with in the united states. and neither one of the appears to be particularly violent to reacting the that's the side of the leaders about north korea. so it is the north korea making very fine the aspect to say this by your force, it in stock where we have the okay, well we see the variety of short range, cruise and now into color intercontinental ballistic missiles being launched over the past few weeks. some commentators, as you've touched upon speculating that this may lead to a nuclear test. is this hype hysteria, or is it a real possibility?

well, has been predicted from the april here by the united states. so you want the matter of time delay, why it hasn't been the less because the north is thinking of nothing but a mess up here. so i would say that i have no go ahead to conduct the nuclear test myself. is not, or does that or failure was not the main proper is not going to be paying yeah. thing today. that's like the pension on the, on the site so that the cloud of will here, nation. and you will divide the public opinion whether we have to go or hotline for north korea. well, we have to begin with these miss our launches, often attract un resolutions and un dick tats on,

on north korea. are you expecting anything to happen if the un security council is cold? i don't think or you don't, you know, have a very high practitioner, no response. makes us a great council on north korea. during that, china, russia by 2 members, don't count bill holding the veto power. so they already made a decision not to count on the united nation greenhouse. so it's a punish north korea, but rather all or day or you know, responses not including reinforce thanks shows or the fibers that by north korea. so the both countries on i sprang north korea as

card to that's meant to be for manager and reasons to launch attacks against ukraine. the russia suspended its involvement in that deal after they accused ukraine for carrying got attacks after a drone attack on one of its war ships in the black sea. now ukraine has denied that it's using those 3 ports, or the green cards, or to launch attacks. but russia has said that they've had written guarantees that ukraine will not launch any combat operations from the green card, all those ports. and i've been hearing the same from clear, but ukraine has been continually complaining about russia that is using its black c seats to launch a strike against ukraine, including a series of crippling strikes against ukraine's energy infrastructure. and even today, we've been hearing of more strikes of more drones strikes and just north of here in the city of revelry. this morning, the large explosions were heard and the military administration there, the head of the administration has said that there's been significant damage to the

power station there to the energy infrastructure there, and many rear areas in the city without electricity and water. now in many parts of the country, the facing energy, beck has, but also this been cause to set up mobilize mobile heating points as the temperature drops in the winter approaches and the lack of electricity, the mezz and administration of saying that need to set up those mobile heating points, so people can stay warm as the infrastructure is damaged for the update. and so as i said back before us in a desa is thing called a new doors. the ethiopian, the indian government. hon forces from the dry region of agreed to and fighting. let's kill thousands of people. we develop reports or from tory in south africa where the talks were being held. after 10 days of talks in pretoria, ethiopia as federal government and the t great people's liberation front, reached an agreement to in the fighting the talks mediated by former nigerian

war have been mounting in recent weeks. while the federal government has been assisted by troops from neighboring eritrea, that country was not involved in the talks. this is not the 1st time there's been an agreement to end the fighting a previous c speier fell apart in august this year. this time though, they appears to be a greater commitment and optimism that this agreement will hold for me. tamela al jazeera pretoria bolster lad hale, all al jazeera schools in northern nigeria, turned into shelters after devastating floods, leaving millions of children with no place to learn. i will tell you why i could all has put 2 bits regions under a state of emergency. those stories after the break, ah,

that biting claims opposition republicans are poised to repeat. if the outcome of this latest vote does not go their way, trying to succeed where they failed and 2020 suppressed the right of voters and subvert the electoral system itself. that means denying your right to vote and deciding whether your vote even counts. so it's a decidedly dark message from the normally up beat biden. shaken by the recent 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 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. ok, on that as 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 more than half of all voters identifying the economy and inflation. not threats to democracy as the talk concern for most americans heading in to tuesdays congressional election. kimberly, how can al jazeera the white house, the us once around removed from the humans top women's rights group accusing it of violating women's rights. us vice president campbell harris has said to her on is not fit to be a member of the commission given its recent crackdown on protest us there on has

iran currently has a seat on that body and the u. s. is going to try and get them expelled from the body. the other thing that the u. s. is proposing is that there should be an inquiry, an independent commission of inquiry on the situation in iran that something's already been proposed by the u. n's, independent expert, the special wrapper, turn all the situation in iran. now that would require the u. the u. s. to try and push that idea at the human rights council in geneva to get that sort of inquiry set up. i have to say that even if you get inquiry set up, then they don't have the ability to go straight about their work. obviously they can examine the situation, but they probably wouldn't be allowed to go into iran. it's worth telling you that there is a commission of inquiry on syria that's not allowed in to syria by the syrian government. was a commission of inquiry on palestine and israel that's not allowed in by israel.

schools occupied by the flood victims. but within time, village is under water. no one knows how long that will take in other states. education is priority. where trying to provide an ill and impossibilities. i would have done that during club id and westlake trying to replicate theme. now. so asked that the students that are in mc outlay are displayed and it is even at the come, the can be a will to take classes. and this has happened with that we didn't, we are included. and at this facility sticker or sort of like a plan of action. but one that faces challenges in a country struggling with power shortages. it could be months or even a year before people like these return to what's left of their rooms. the schools they leave behind will have to be fixed before teaching and learning. gustavo again, but government officials say there is little money available and no one seems to know whether these facilities will ever get the work and renovation they need. a
