calling? the massage launch by north korea, but land nearby ah, hello, the whole rahman you watch on there. like my headquarters here in the whole. so coming up. yeah, there was a welcome. well, joe biden, the us president visits his own home with resetting diplomatic ties. serious foreign ministers in saudi arabia for the 1st time since the civil war in 2011. that would lead to an iteration of the security suggestion that we speak to the head of the multi mission. as a un security council discusses the future of its peacekeeping operation. ah,

welcome to the program, japan and south korea say north korea has lost a missile off the eastern coast of the korean peninsula. japan's government temporarily sounded as sirens and hawkeye. dev expecting the missile to land near the island, the country's land ministry warned planes flying in japan's air space about the bazaar. south korea coast guard says it could be a ballistic missile. let's get more this. robert bryce, who joins us now from the south korean capital in rub. what more do we know about the circumstances around the miss? aw, lodge. yeah, this does seem to be a provocative launch of a longer range ballistic missile. it was detected just before 730 a am local time thursday being fired from outside the capitol pyongyang. and it was well as it was getting towards the end of its 30 minute flight. the tracking

eastwards are over the sea that separates the korean peninsula from japan, that the island of her, cato raised this alarm a warning people to take shelter. the authorities there, fearing that the missile, or parts of it could fall in or around her kato, in the past, north korea has, in some of its more provocative launches, sent missiles right over the top of hook kato, out into the pacific ocean. as it was, this miss al fell well short her, but we do know that it had a fairly lofty trajectory of them reaching an altitude of around 3000 kilometer. so officials here and in japan are trying to work out if this was an intermediate range, ballistic missile, or a longer range, intercontinental ballistic missile. the kind of really heavy weapons that they parade at military parade and have been testing over the past year or so. and also, south korean officials are try to establish whether this could be a new type of miss out using solid fuel, which would be the big development in their missile program. a raw bird in recent

weeks, there are certain in recent months we seen sort of various announcements from the north about miss r launches. we want sort of expectations are there there that there may be more to come? yeah, i mean that they have been increasing in frequency, also the variety of their weapons and missiles being tested. but there has been an increasing anticipation that they were going to launch a longer range or a missile. because we've had increasingly belligerent rhetoric from the north about military exercises that have been taking place this spring between south korean and us forces. also, there are significant anniversaries that are happening at this month in april, in a couple of days. it is the so called day of the sun, that is they as an anniversary of the birth date of their north greer's founder kamal song. so there are these anniversaries taking place which at north korea often uses her as a reasons for to test its our missiles. and also finally,

the has been growing anticipation because the north koreans have not been picking up the hotline phones that are, that keep at the south and the north connected that are meant to ease tensions. but for the past week or so on, the daily call to test that the line is working, the north simply hasn't been answering robert bridle thanks very much for the update in sol toilet now where large crowds welcome to you as president joe biden. as he began a 3 day nostalgia toll of the country. oh, i'd visited the town of the door, he's in the region to visit his ancestral roots. early. he was given a tour of carly foot cancelled by the irish prime minister. me how martin. the u. s . president travelled south after a brief trip to northern ireland to march the 25th anniversary of the good friday peace agreement. javert said the irish, the only people in the world in my view, who actually are nostalgic about the future. think about the most allergic about

the future. i think we all are no matter where we live. if we have irish blood is it is because more than anything, more than anything in my experience, hope is what beach in the heart of all people, particularly in the heart of the irish hope, every action is about hope. we can make it better. the apple brendan has more than the door kit, county loth. it's been a super warm welcome for president joe botton and dundalk, despite cold on wet weather conditions for most of the day. this county county allowed one branch of his ancestral home the finnegan's off from here before they left for america. in the 1840s, he stopped for an extended period in the center of town, stopping at a gift shop, which doubles up as a restaurant and also a delicatessen. on the whole town has been festooned with stars and stripes. flags from lamp posts, from window sills,

past, aside kind of bit of a like bad reputation time. so it's really like shown that like ad to pick this kind of very positive, like that really brilliant design and give everybody a positive thing. he doesn't rush, did he hung around for quite a while? he really got to know that. okay, fantastic. and bring it from not the businesses. wow. you don't get that publicity? it's brilliant. you know, that's in town. thank you very much. it's been a long way now. i'm also going to spin around as well. jennings, up a. you are a veteran. all the previous visit you were here when bill clinton was here in the 2000 when you compare and contrast this one with that one. when i kind of on this one, he said a little bit longer. if there was, she had a cell phone here, but you know, we're still here and it was good. what does it mean to have the us president come here to come? doctor counselor and just mean, i mean just good goodness was put on the market for good

purposes. it's a private family heritage is from this part of the well yeah. and it means allow the public to the people off load just the 2nd time the president has been in the country. so it's really good. thank you very much. de facility. i'm going to say it was raining of the afternoon. and then just as your bob began his walk about the skies played on the rain, stopped not any cool look at the irish hope and i'll just go. but the president bug was belfast to the 25th anniversary of the good friday peace agreement. the deal and did 30 years of violence, but breck, it has threatened that peace, placing a trade border between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom. andrew smith explains now from belfast. joe biden had 2 main messages in belfast. congratulations on a deal that's given a quarter of a century of peace and a warning that know the melons future is dependent on restoring it to evolve. power,

sharing government, or a major new campus for us to university. he addressed mostly young audience. many who weren't born before the good friday agreement. much of his messaging though, was to politicians. but i believe democratic institutions establish the good friday agreement, rank critical to the future of northern iowa. a government that works to find ways to heart problems together. kind of draw even greater opportunities this richard for hope, the assembly and the executive will soon be restored as a judgement for you to make that made. and i hope it happens. it's here the seat of devolve government, stormont, where power should be shared between nationalists and eunice, the democratic unionist party, the d u. p. walked out in protest, a post breakfast trading restrictions more than a year ago. and its leader doesn't show any sign of changing position despite the

presidential warning. so despite something really, when you think about it, the president of the u. s. not any pointing the finger at northern ireland and saying in a ye, me to work harder, especially elected representatives. it's a set of point i have hon always send democracies are and how and that requires let ship census to take up their responsibilities. people in northern ireland are divided about the u. s. president. many union this se his visit is more like a stop over on his way to the republic of ireland. no walk about for joe biden, because security is so heavy. but that's not the reason for the shortness of the shed. you're only 16 hours in northern ireland, and only a brief meeting over coffee with the u. k. prime minister richey soon act, downing street said relations with the u. s. were good, and the white house firmly deny the claim from a former democratic unit leader. the biden hated the u. k. been soon ack supported

biden's views on power sharing. and i think that's incredibly exciting or been growth jobs and prosperity to northern ireland. and i know he shares my ambition to see if students hear back up and running. that's what people in business is and all knowledge is our president biden left for the irish republic. having made it clear that peace in northern ireland needs bolstering. and that can't happen with political instability. andrew simmons al jazeera belfast no cut out bahrain of an ounce though resumed diplomatic ties, following a high level meeting of delegates in riyadh. and the joint statement, the country said the agreement stand through a push to strengthen bilateral relations and enhance unity within the region. in january behind conference spoke with kat awesome is she to me been hammered attorney by phone and the move was seen as a sign of the 2 gulf states moving towards repairing relations. serious foreign minister is visiting saudi arabia for the 1st time since the civil war began in 2011. the move is being seen as

a major step towards ending serious regional isolation. i select dad was greeted by saudi foreign minister, prince fossil min for hon. injured the, the saudi foreign ministry says that they'll discuss a political solution to the syrian crisis. riyadh had supported the syrian opposition at the start of the war, but ties with the government of thought. in recent months. it's been a busy week for saudi diplomacy. and iranian delegation is also arrived in riyadh to discuss reopening its embassy and conceal at offices the countries are renewing ties after they were severed. 7 years ago becomes just days after a saudi delegation visited iran's capital. the and security council has been discussing the future of what's often called the deadliest peacekeeping mission. and molly, several nations have announced plans to withdraw their troops. our diplomatic editor james base spoke with the un special representative. the head of the marley's mission. is gus im one there's the option of of

increasing the troop presence in molly, the number of peacekeepers the by as many as 3680. what would that enable you to do if the security council went for that option? what i did see that we operate in a difficult environment with mounting security needs of population that are subjected to daily violence by terrorist, extremely scope. auto suffer from anther criminal violence. we have basis in large parts of mighty that need to be supplied and those bases have to be supplied unprotected. we have to support political processes including the organization for the out of elections for which security has to be provided. so the needs for enhance, mismatched the nif out of there. so we are of attach that to so the need for an increase presence is there that as you rightly pointed out, are the options one,

maintaining such a school and the other one transforming the mission into a special political mission. let me ask you about that option 3, because that seems to be the most radical option that you're proposing got option 2 would be to reduce the, the footprint of the mission and reduce your activities. option 3 though, is, as you say, to transform it to just a political office and remove the peacekeepers. what would it mean for molly? if the un troops pulled out, i believe that that would lead to a rapid declaration of the security situation. it will effectively dance, we could already seen areas where we are not able to operate where they might not, me don't operate the level of violence against the deputies. extremely high, distributing huge displacements, so that could be replicated elsewhere. mighty and take it is different the scope

and it would also have serious consequences for the region mainly central, for the stablish of the anti, the heavily journal. obviously, if mattie was to be overwhelmed by violence, that will have serious consequences, not only for the country, but for the region as a whole. if the security council opt to pull the peacekeepers out, convert what you have to a political office. would that be a failure? of everything, the movement knows more has done over 10 years. well 1st, i don't want to anticipate what the counselor would decide, but what they know. and what they heard today is a strong support to the mission recognition of the work that the machine is doing on the ground. in spite of the course france on the challenges we are facing under desire by the council to quote you to support by the still ahead here on algebra will tell you 1000 the students are prevented from getting a formal education in the democratic republic of congo. a book essentially are excited about
