10:01 pm
missile the u.s. and south korea believe this one was an intercontinental missile is pyongyang's first launch in two and a half months and it comes after the u.s. slapped fresh sanctions on the north korean regime just last week also coming out there who are kenyatta is sworn in as kenya's president he promises to unite the country even as police tear gas opposition protesters and what the pope did not say pope francis meets me and more leader aung sang suu kyi calling for respect for all ethnic groups but he avoids the term row hinge. i'm bringing off it's good to have you with us tonight north korea has launched a new ballistic missile which reportedly landed close to japan the pentagon
10:02 pm
believes it was an i.c.b.m. an intercontinental ballistic missile tokyo says it may have landed inside the country's air defense identification zone in the sea of japan tokyo reportedly has called for an emergency session of the un security council as a result of this is the latest in a series of missile tests this year the last missile flew over northern japan landing in the pacific ocean. well for the latest now i'm joined by our washington correspondent carsten phenomena need to you karsten so what's the latest that you're hearing about this i.c.b.m. watch at the pentagon has stated that it believed that this was indeed an intercontinental ballistic missile that it flew about one thousand kilometers trouble about one thousand kilometers and flew for
10:03 pm
about fifteen minutes before it landed in the sea of japan what exactly that means we can only speculate maybe the regime in pyongyang tried to demonstrate that it could have send myside even further because that missile flew higher than previous one it could also be of course that the missile may have functioned and that is why it's this time dropped into the sea west of japan where as a previous missiles have flew over the island of hokkaido so we don't know what the intentions of the north koreans were here but still the fact that they launched another mistah is seen as of warring sign here in washington and what's been the response from the white house. well donald trump the president when asked about it by reporters just a few minutes ago said we will take care of it. that means he was briefed on the
10:04 pm
missile launch today while that missile was still in the air the president at that time was on capitol hill talking to members of his republican party in congress and he was briefed on the issue but at that time he was focusing on texas reform which is the big topic here otherwise. has been much reaction on that but definitely it will come within the next minutes and hours and hours of this is the first launch that we've seen in about two months and what can we read into the timing here well we're not quite sure but it looks like north korea is reacting to the fact that the united states has tried to put more pressure on the regime in pyongyang by slapping new sanctions on the regime and also by declaring north korea
10:05 pm
a state sponsor of terrorism and clearly north korea is trying to demonstrate here at least that is the reading here in washington that it's not backing down the regime is not backing down and whatever the americans will try they will up the ante looks to me that this is in case a very dangerous game of brinkmanship that these two sides are playing right now our correspondent carsten phenomenon washington tonight on the story reporting on the latest missile launch by north korea kirsten thank you. to kenya now and a presidential inauguration that was full of pageantry and protests after months of election drama kenya's president you who are kenyatta has been sworn in for a second term police clashed with opposition supporters elsewhere in the city they say kenyatta his presidency is illegitimate reports say at least two people were
10:06 pm
killed when mr kenyatta one october rerun presidential election it was boycotted by the opposition. it was an inauguration ceremony meant to quell any doubts about who was in charge. with all the trappings of state power to rule kenyatta took the oath of office surrounded by thousands of adoring supporters. but i will protect and up for the so rinky the silver and its integrity integrity and the dignity of the people of kenya and dignity of the people of kenya so help me god so all have all right but a few kilometers away another fast demonstration of support for this man. he says he's the legitimate president. as we said next month on december twelfth we will have
10:07 pm
a people's assembly that will swear me into office. but as he spoke police moved in to break up the demonstration. the rifle shots that rang out dashed any hopes that today's inauguration would mean an end to the months of election unrest. and we want to go now to our correspondent catherine own wando in nairobi good evening to you catherine so opposition leader of being a boycott of the rerun and held a rally today the day that the president was being sworn in is he able to put any pressure on the government at this point. he can and he cards at the same time given the fact that now constitutionally and by law
10:08 pm
kenya has a president and a deputy president therefore there's really no space for him in terms if you think about it legally but then when you talk about the crowds or the his the number of his supporters which some people put at two quarters of the population then he could pressure the government into doing something but then this would only be told or will only come for over time in the next couple of days we have a lot of people who are supporting him saying that he will be sworn in. which is that and now we're talking about secession if if you know if it goes further than that so these are the topics that he has his announcement has brought up and another issue that is being looked at by most kenyans is proof police brutality now that most things have calmed down pressure is now the opposition is now considering you know placing charges of atrocities on the government given that since two thousand the twenty sixth of august we have had ten children killed among
10:09 pm
those killed the scores killed by police during protests so. we have to wait and see how the issue plays out. word to declare himself president what would happen then it will be talking about more violence in the country. we could see more violence we could see more protesters going out on the streets you're seeing hardened you. see the feet feel like they have nothing to lose so we will see more protests on the streets we will see more dissent among his supporters but then we'll also see conversations which at first it wasn't such a big deal but now seems to be a big deal the situation issue where kenyans are now talking about dividing the country and you know from central kenya to western kenya to coastal kenya so that you know they can live in the democracies that they want so that that's that's
10:10 pm
basically what the situation is bringing about and we're going after the inauguration and what did president kenyatta what did he have to say about overcoming these political divisions well he did give a olive branch to the opposition saying that he is ready to discuss and ready to incorporate their visions into the government but he will only do that in the capacity as a president so if opposition leader raul loading goes to join the government he will join the government in obviously a lower capacity and this for opposition supporters they don't support this they feel that they usually have to go into another election to get a valid validly elected leader and also a lot of people say that the president didn't do enough to bridge the gap or the correspondent catherine. reporting tonight from nairobi kathy thank you very much.

10:14 pm
southeast asia correspondent bust you know hard to get in me of morrow night i asked him why pope francis held back from mentioning there were hidden jews by name . i think the pope was under a lot of pressure in the run up to this speech today there where he was pressured by human rights activists by representatives of the hidden minority themselves by representatives of other muslim groups they all wanted him to use the term because it gives these people an identity and identity that they're being denied by me and my military by the myanmar government and also by some parts of the population in myanmar so that's why they wanted him to use that term now on the other hand even the cardinal here in me and mark cautioned the pope he said don't use this word because it will it's a very sensitive issue and a lot of emotions are tied to it and it will deepen the divides between the
