like the cat's as well. that on friday just moves for the south. wind picks up behind it, and the shower start to build, giving near maker at least the risk of some flash flooding. we've seen rain recently somali, including in the capitol. there's not much of it and probably not much use. now the heavier stuff is certainly further west. dea, congo, and dancers rwanda and burundi. and recently it's been fairly stormy in parts with alaska. that's gone. now. you'll notice the reins long way north in tanza dear. otherwise it's quite dry. ah, ah ah, a bad lift evacuation or both high tide island falling fans and

a missile from north korea might like ah, hello mccloud, this is al jazeera, my printer is a company, a biden's irish incoming, the u. s. president gets a warm welcome matea arrived in island to explore his ancestral that would lead to what i've been. iteration of the security suggestion. we speak to the head of the un mission in molly as the security council to base the future. keep your bridge. and we look at how dangerous lebanon's economic crisis might be with the government refusing more international financial help. ah.

so south korea's military says north korea has launch what may be a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile. japan's government issued temporary evacuation orders in ohio, expecting the missile to land near the island. it fell in the waters between the korean peninsula and japan. launch comes days off to north korea's leader kim jong called for more offensive military to terrance to counter south korea. and the united states from mcbride reports now from sol. the missile was detected early thursday, being launched from close to young young. and it was towards the end of its half hour flight tracking east over the sea that separates the korean peninsula from japan. that all thirties in the golden japanese island of her kind of raise the alarm, telling people to take shelter faring that the missile or the debris from it could fall in or around the island of her cato itself. in the past north career and some of its more provocative launch, it has sent missiles over the top of her kite,

out into the pacific ocean as it was with this launch. the missile fell far short, but it did have a lofty trajectory, reaching out to, to, to some, 3000 kilometer, which has led people to speculate whether this was an intermediate range, ballistic missiles or a longer range, heavier intercontinental ballistic missile. the kind of giant weapons that north korea has been showing off of the military parade, which it has resumed development and testing of in the past year. either way, as with previous lodges, this has been roundly condemned by officials here and in japan, a congressional shackle. this launch is an outrageous act that escalates the provocation against the entire international community. we want a series of actions by north korea, including repeated launches of ballistic missiles, 3 since the peace and security of our country and the international community.

absolutely, unacceptable. in south korea and military officials are also studying whether this could have been a new type of missiles using solid fuel such weapons, almost sophisticated, they can be more quickly, the floyd from a mobile launcher, making them harder to detect and defend against. i would represent a significant development in the north miss l program. rob mcbride, i was just era. so well, let's take this home because peter andrew rankoff is a professor of history to cook. gwinnett university in the director of the career risk group at n k use which specializes on north korea joined us live now from so under a link of welcome. first up. what do you make of this? what the aim of these continual tests, what zip ministration in north korea hoping to achieve? well, 1st of all, they want to finally have certainty. as it, at any time they make

a decision to take the united states. they will be able to do it. if they want to have long range intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of destroying american cities, and they want to use it partially for defensive purposes, but largely as a way to blackmail united states to make sure that in case of when you were in korea, i, americans would not get involved. so the neat, basically miss silas capable of taking the united states. they already shifted session styles. but they all use fuel, which actually you added means it's a bit like a car is empty to and the doesn't go before you lunch. you have to fuel the messiah, and it takes time. and miss sale on the lunch position can be detected and destroyed. ok to imagine vulnerable sign of hon. geotech and said that this is all

about solid fuel? yes, yes. is it? what do you make of how, how north career a framing this, just a rhetoric is becoming more aggressive at this time. i would not pay attention to their rhetoric because they're better. it is all way segue, mischief. if nothing happens, they say under threat, if something happens, they steal the sates of telling the same stuff. what is clear they did not test march between 201-720-2245 years. and the genius we're working. so all last year they are showing you systems of weapons, but after nasa long range cruise miss science miss how's launch from the st. mary's a new o. lee crit feud, long range missiles. now we have probably solid few will. they are just showing of the want to test weapon system. they invested so much money and they could the test for 5 years due to the political situation. and they would expect their nuclear just as of

a crap into the next few months. and no matter what the south koreans i go into a do, earth of, they are pretty much grad, barely cause a hot of irrelevant no matter what south gradients are going to do vans, nor scallions you have tactical new device in you. you click chart to test, they will cover nuclear test. okay. under like of will leave it there. thanks very much indeed yours, but to thank you. thank you. not brazil. president lewis and nancy lily da silva, is in china to boost political and economic ties with his nation's biggest trading partner. arrived in shanghai for the inauguration of brazil's former president at dill melt, whose f as the head of the new development bank. it was set up by brazil, russia, china, india, and south africa, known as the bricks, a group of emerge economies. president lula will then had to be ging, where is expected to discuss the ukraine war with president cheesy ping on the 2nd

be restored. that's a judgment for you to make that me 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 at 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 sort 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. only 16 hours in northern ireland, and only a brief meeting over coffee with the u. k. prime minister richie soon act downing street said relations with the u. s. were good at the white house, firmly deny the claim from a former democratic unit leader. the biden hated the u. k. been that sooner 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 shows my ambition to see institutions here, back up and running. that's what people in businesses and all not deserve president biden left for the irish republic. having made it clear, the peace in northern ireland needs bolstering, and that can't happen with political instability. andrew simmons al jazeera belfast . serious foreign minister is visiting saudi arabia for the 1st time in more than a decade. the believe is seen as a step towards ending serious regional isolation. isley mcdonald met prince fives, have been fun and jetta the 2 are expected to discuss

where they might not be able to put it. the level of violence against the depth is extremely high and it's triggering huge displacement, so that could be replicated elsewhere. mighty and take a completely different scope and it will also have serious consequences for the region right now. it's not clear which of the sectors general's options the security council would choose, but there are real divisions, particularly on human rights. western nations accuse russian mercenaries from the wagner group, which was invited in by the government to molly of carrying out widespread abuses. james bay's al jazeera of the united nations. ukraine has rejected russia announcement that it has captured more than 80 percent of the 60 moods. the head of russia's wagner, mastery group made comments on wednesday. but ukraine military says it controlled considerably more than 20 percent of the city, which has seen some of the fierce battles in the war with thousands of soldiers killed, rushes parliament is approved. a controversial build to create
