orders in japan. ah, 11 o'clock this is out there. i live from dough coming up. that would lead to it a bit iteration of the security situation. the head of the un mission in molly warns that violence against civilians could get worse as un security council debates. the future of its peacekeeping operation fighting and displacement in the democratic republic of congo leaves thousands of students without any means to continue the education. plus yeah, joe biden's, irish homecoming us president gets welcome. arrives tonight and exploring his ancestral routes. ah.

so south korea's military says north korea has launched what may be a new time perv intercontinental ballistic missile. japan's government issued temporary evacuation orders in hawkeye to expecting that michelle to land near the island. it fell in the waters between the korean peninsula in japan. at the launch comes days after north chris lee come, joan cold for more offensive military deterrents to counter south crit and united states, right reports, now from so the missile was detected early thursday being launched from close to pyongyang, and it was towards the end of its half hour, flight tracking east. the sea that separates the korean peninsula from japan. that all thirties in the golden japanese island of her kite, raised that alarm, telling people to take shelter faring the missile or the debris from it could fall in or around the island of her kado itself in the past north career. and some of it

will provoke to launch it has sent missiles over the top of her cargo. i was 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 is 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. the colonel shinkel, this launch is an outrageous actor, escalates the provocation against the entire international community. and 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 are more 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 craig mark as a professor of international studies of the quoted su women's university and took it. he think young young's goal is to disrupt renewed efforts between south for japan to counter the north. it just shows the ongoing danger of the north korea's position that they determines to show that they have a threatening capacity to deter any attacks upon its territory. and they wanting to

maintain attention, made all the other international crises, such as the chinese military exercises around taiwan this week. and of course, the ongoing warn you cried the japanese in the south korean defense ministries, restoring their ties and sharing intelligence and potential cooperation for emergencies. involving north korea and of course, the united states, hilda laud scaled military drills with south korea. and of course the united states is also has many bases here in japan. so i tried to disrupt this cooperation would be an objective of the north koreans. however, this is only more likely to make japan was determined to continue building up its defenses to deter a potential south korean attacks. and also potentially china and russia. sedans, military has sent reinforcements to the northern city, mariah as attentions mount between the army and

a powerful parliamentary paramilitary force. the army says a rapid support forces in mobilizing and re deploying troops in the capital called to men of the cities. the r s f says the deployments of pot as normal duties tensions arising between the 2 over proposals to integrate the power military group into the military. or as if was formed in 2013 to fight on rebel groups in the door for region. the group was laid to used in crackdowns against anti government protest is sabbath. so then e l m e, the responsibility of protecting the safety and security of the country falls on the shoulders of the armed forces. according to the constitution, i'm a think that the law has organized how this support is offered. depending on this, we should raise the alarm. i mean, our country's going to a dangerous and historic term nevada, which is increased by the mobilization of forces and re deployment of the rapids support forces inside the capital and other cities. these movements took place

without the approval of the armed forces or coordination with it, which has raised fears in the public deepened security concerns and raised tensions among organized forces. the heart of the un security council has been discussing the future. it's peacekeeping operations in molly. several nations are planning to withdraw their troops from the mission that's often described as humans. most dangerous violence by om groups has been worsening and marley's government is increasingly turning to russian mercenaries on the promise together to jay's base, spoke to you and had a mission in molly about the future as the auction of of increasing the troop presence in molly, the number of peacekeepers by as many as 3680. what would that enable you to do if the security council went for that option? well i, i did see that we operate in a difficult environment with mounting security needs of population that i've

subjected to davy violence by terrorists, extremist group, or who suffer from anther criminal violence. we have basis in large parts of mighty that need to be supplied. angel's basis of to be supplied and perfect. we have to support what he's got processes including the organization for the out of elections for which secret adjust to be provided. so the needs for enhance minish, my niece out of there. so we are of a stretch that, that we actually saw the need for an increase presence event. but then as you rightly pointed out, other options, one, maintaining such a school and the other one transforming the mission into special political mission . let me ask you about that. option 3, because that seems to be the most radical option that you're proposing. the golf option to 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 duration of the security situation. it will effectively dance, we could already seen areas where we are not able to operate, where we might need to talk about it. the level of violence against dempsey is extremely high and is 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, mainly central for the stablish of the face, the head region. and obviously if mighty, was to be overwhelmed by violence that will have serious consequences. not only for the stupid 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 every thing that the nose mer had, has done over 10 years? but 1st, i don't want to anticipate what the counselor would decide, but what a no. and what they heard today is a strong support to the mission or cognition of the work that she's doing on the ground. in spite of the core france on the challenges we are facing and a desire by the coffin, to quote you to support monday. cutter and bahrain have announced they will restore diplomatic ties. the statement comes after a high level meeting in riyadh. the 2 sides said they want to strengthen relations and enhance unity within the region. in 2017, bahrain joined, sorry, arabia u e and egypt and imposing a blockade on cotton. in january barns, crown prince spoke with cuts his image shake to mean been hum. it are funny by phone to discuss differences sir, is foreign minister is inside iraq via for the 1st time since the 2011, not rising and civil war. the move is seen as

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 that the 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 it's quite something really when you think about it, the president of the u. s. not only pointing the finger at northern ireland and saying in a ye, me to work harder, especially elected representatives. it's a sort of plan to have venerable, always cinemark caesar and hell. and that requires lecture representatives 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 fees,
