a russian fighter jet, but it wasn't sure if the collision was deliberate. jambert thompson reports for a 2nd day us officials complained that their reaper drain crashed into the black sea. as a result of what they say has become a patent of reckless and unsafe behavior by russian fight, a joke, pilots in international airspace this time, resulting in collision. i just got off the phone with my russian counterpart minister showing as i said repeatedly, it's important that great powers be models of transparency. and communication in the united states will continue to fly and to operate wherever international law allows. this was the 1st phone call between the us defense secretary and the russian counterpart in 5 months. and it's notable the aftermath of the incident. both moscow and washington are emphasizing the need for dialogue. nonetheless, russia disputes the u. s. account of the crash,

the criminal says the drone had switched off its transponder and was heading towards russian territory, collecting actionable military intelligence against russian forces for the ukraine war effort. its play scramble to identify the aircraft and then response the drone to a vase of action that led to its crash solution. it states that you have heard representatives of the pentagon and the joint chiefs of staff side. the united states will continue to fly wherever it pleases, in accordance with international law. but if you follow this logic than the space around the united states has the same status as the space over the black sea, much as for the drone of south washington says it's deep under water and unlikely to be recovered by the u. s. military. as far as, or the loss of anything of sensitive or intelligence, et cetera, as normal, we would take and we did take mitigating measures. so we're quite confident that whatever or whatever was of value is no longer of a rush as, as it will attempt to retrieve the drone. despite the difficulties whatever

actually happens, this incidence is heightening the fear of unintended consequences. and the risk of heightened escalation between washington and moscow. she abraham see al jazeera, the pentagon will em line reaper drone is one of the most advanced tools in the u. s. military is arsenal. our defense editor alex topple is explains. the m q 9 reaper is the world's 1st purpose built drone design for attack, as well as surveillance. it can stay up in the air for up to 14 hours and can fly up to 15000 meters. it was 1st flown in combat in 2007, and has the capability to stay in survey, a specific target area, sending back vast amounts of information to pilots and analysts on the ground, sometimes half way around the world. what made the repay initially different from other drones, was the fact that it was the 1st one designed to carry weapons. it cannot only survey targets, but destroy them if needed. this combination of surveillance and strike

capabilities makes the young man vehicle a potent weapon able to operate night or day. where luna, yo haze from the frontier europe initiative. she's also a former military advisor to nato. she says russia may be testing the limits of international airspace rules. if we're looking particularly at the inter junction between the nature space and the international airspace we have before the full scale invasion and into the full scale invasion, a long history from the russian side of violation, often a to airspace. in this incident, this is likely to be, to have taken place within the international airspace. so what, in the context of the black sea, the russians are likely to be doing is to try to provoke, to determine the americans, but also need to overall, to not be able to use international airspace like they have,

have tried to determine nato forces not to use the international maritime space within the black sea. this is what they're likely trying to do. and there's another bonus if we can call it that on the russian side. the m q reaper is one of the most, and fans in very expensive you with military capability. so it's a significant loss that the russians, the criminal, particularly can boast off in regards to their domestic public as well as through the international community to say, look, we are able to down such an important military capability off the americans in international airspace. we do not care about international law. this is, these are some of the possible speculations of why russia has been doing this. south korea says north korea has fired an intercontinental ballistic missile into

waters between the korean peninsula and japan. it's the 3rd missile launched by appealing young this week. japan is called the national security council meeting following the latest test when robert bride jones was live now from the south korean capital. so rob, so yet another miss, our launch by north korea will look at it for us about this latest one. ah yeah, this was detected and just after 7 o'clock, gar, local time this morning are being launched from the area of soon and just outside the capital pyongyang. it's from where north korea has conducted other icbm tester in the past. it was said to have flown eastwards around 1000 kilometers, landing short of the northern japanese island of her cato. now interestingly, it had a relatively long flight time, but it's about the longest that north korea is conducted. one of these icbm tests flying for very nearly 70 minutes. now, according to the japanese, it had a very lofty to trajectory, reaching an altitude of some 6000 kilometers,

which is way out into space and then back down again if you translate that into a shallower track over the earth's surface, that would put much of the continental united states within range, which obviously is a concern on the other side of the pacific. it's not known exactly what type of miss all this was, but this is very similar to another icbm launch that north korea conducted last of last november. and that was said to be a why song 17, the very latest type of icbm. it comes at a time. of course, when a south graham forces are conducting their annual military drills with their, their u. s. counterparts. and also a very long away to visit by units of y'all, the president of south korea to japan at robinson said, comes south korea's president, travel to tokyo, to meet a japanese prime minister, presumably at north korea's missile program. with the top of the agenda you i believe he has done. yeah, i absolutely am. this is

and joins us live from washington, dc mach good to have you back with us. so the i a says over 2 and a half tons of uranium now missing in libya. how does 2 tons of uranium just disappear? and it sounds like a pot for a very scary movie, doesn't it? yeah, well i, you know, it's important realize this is a largely govern less territory lawless territory. and the uranium in question was left over from the office nuclear weapons program. it's not very dangerous in preparation terms because it's, it totally unimed reached. you have to, you know, do a lot of concentration of the enrichment level to, to make it worthy of being used in a reactor and much more for a bomb. but probably somebody soul who thought it was valuable and, and that's why it went missing. i'm mom and i say we know that for uranium to me, weapon eyes, it has to be very highly concentrated. but i mean, is there

a why to worry about another state data that has in richmond facilities could get their hands on this yellow cake. uranium yes that's, that's a concern for you the amount of material to me to point to turn sounds like a lot and it could contribute to any country or non state actor that had a nuclear weapons program. but it wouldn't be enough to make the where with all of one bomb it's you need about 10 tons of natural uranium to then concentrate to producing of highly enriched uranium for bomb. so it's, it's not that much material in 2003, you just mentioned that there libby or abandon this program to develop nuclear weapons under its former ruler. more market off the, how far did libya get down that path in richmond? and how much of a worry was that at the time? well, at the time, it was a great worry because of tapped into the black market network run by

a con. and he had obtained a lot of equipment that he had planned to put together a center, huge cascades and enrich uranium. but it turned out he had most of this material in boxes. it was not opened up. so he wasn't, you know, a stones throw away from producing nuclear weapons, he had a lot more steps that would have been necessary. but the problem is that he had so much wherewithal, and united states took all the sensitive material, the machinery and so forth, took it back to united states where it was, it's pretty valuable and left this. ready or in the desert because it wasn't really a proliferation threat. just a final 4 to mark and libya has been my and political crisis ever since got off. he fell from power. and now we have these numerous malicious emerging that are
