6:07 pm
an attack against the kurdish community and against the kurdish women. the kurdish community wants the french state to tell the truth, the victims were refugees and the government didn't give them proper protection. one of them was here for 2 years, and she didn't even have proper documents. we were asking for protection before, but now we want justice, us continents, hong filter. what they are saying is that they don't deny that this was a somebody who was a racist to get out the fact. but this needs to be declared a terrorist incident. so that there can be a proper investigation in the world news, south korea says it has fired warning shots after several north korean drones enter the 1st space. local media. see the drones where detected in civilian areas in the province south korea's military has dispatched jackets and helicopter to respond to the threat eunice game is in. so she tells us more about the situation in south korea. hearing from south korea's joint chiefs of staff who said that there were at
6:08 pm
least 5 unmanned aerial vehicles detected since 10 30 am this morning. apparently one of them flying past us. border area, town of pud, you before getting as far south as the north part of the capitol sol. there were at least 4 other drones detected over a con why island that is an island near the border area on the west coast. and of course the military here condemning this as clear provocation as it does violate south koreans sovereign aerospace, now, other than trying to shoot down these drones throughout the afternoon. south korea also took corresponding measures. we are learning that south military sent manned and unmanned surveillance aircraft near the border area, and also north of the military demarcation line and a tit for tat of sorts. to take pictures of north korea as military installations.
6:09 pm
now the drones, the north korean drowns that is dead fly for several hours. some media reports you're saying is as long as 7 hours since being detected again at around $1030.00 this morning, passenger flights were grounded just after lunch, including at the main airport in china international airport as a safety precaution, as these drones were flying through civilian areas let's talk about these wise intentions on the korean peninsula to knowing school was a former us assistant secretary of defenseless joining us from washington dc. thank you very much for being with us on al jazeera. so it's the 1st time in 5 years at north clayton jones have violated south korean as space. a. first of all from a u. s. point of view, how serious an escalation is is how concerning? well, this is pretty serious. we cause we thought it all back 5 years ago when we made
6:10 pm
the agreement in 2017 that they would stopped us. and but in addition to what they've done by flying over to south korea this year, they conducted 90 to missile tassel alone. so they're getting more, you know, getting more provocative. and i do think that you know, the south koreans and not only shot shot down most of the drones. but as your correspondent mentioned, they got into north korea as well. right. what more do we know about north korea's drone program? well, we know is very sophisticated and we know that basically during the 5 years will they haven't been using it. they becoming more. busy and more capable law you know, up a. busy with say, and basically a hopefully when they saw how many were shot down and the know as a south korean response even to north korea del sink again about it. but i think
6:11 pm
they believed that there would be no response to it and they could get a lot of information. it was very dangerous. i mean, they got right near the capital of so i mean, if that has led to any type of civilian casualties, we could have another war on a gory of peninsula. as you said that the south koreans have responded. presumably the south koreans are also conducting reconnaissance activities inside north korea . well, no doubt about it because they're not going to sit back wait this to happen again. i think since nothing it happened the last 5 years they. busy sort of relax but now they're going to, i think get more and more. busy ready to make sure it doesn't happen again, and if it does, to make sure that they can shoot them down before they get, you know, not close to the capital one. how do we make sure it does not? and again, as you say, over the past few months, we've seen north korea carry out an unprecedented number of miss fine launches, artillery exercises massive air maneuvers. and we've heard time and time again. the
6:12 pm
u. s. say it will respond forcefully to any use of nuclear weapons by, by appealing young. we may not be at the point where they're using nuclear weapons yet, but is there a political incentive for us policy makers to take bold action on north korea? well there is, and this is one area where we can cooperate with the chinese because the chinese or ally, eric north korea. and the last thing they want as a nuclear exchange on the korean peninsula, which is, you know, right adjacent to china, i think that's what we know we have to do unfortunately, president trump had a meeting with our chairman kim, but you know, it didn't, it didn't go very, very, very well and maybe i think as a result of how south korea has responded, they might be more willing to sit down and do some log talk. but i say it's not just a draws, it's the missile task, you know, is that, that 92 missile tests this year, right?
6:13 pm
that, that is quite concerning to a lot of people. and pyongyang has so far been unresponsive. i to the bind administrations repeated topic and i understand private overtures to meet without preconditions the bull it seems is in north korea court right now, but is in them more washington and so could be doing. you mentioned the chinese, but ave other ways to reduce tensions on the peninsula pot from talks on di nuclear ization. well, you know, basically i, it's gonna, it's really up to north korea to reduce detentions the best way to ensure that they do it is from south korea to be prepare. and i think north korea was very surprised that south korea actually went into north korean territory today. they haven't, you know, ever have done that in recent, in recent memory and back at and 2014, when to drones across. they didn't do that. and in 2017,
6:14 pm
when they flew over south korea, the south koreans didn't respond. but i do snake that you know, they did respond this time and don't forget, after president trump left all of us, we began to rebuild our forces. american forces in graham was president trump had talked about withdrawing them. thank you very much for talking to us about this. lauren scored from a u. s. assistant secretary of defense joining us from washington. thank you for your time. thank you for having re taiwan has reported china's largest ever in cushion in its air space, 71 aircraft including find a jet fan, jones crossed over in a period or 2 of 24 hours. 7 ships were also sent towards the island, china clean cy, one as its own territory. it said the drains are in response to provocations from the u. s. and taiwan. chinese president, changing pain has edge health officials to take action to protect lies as the
