whoever can control these feelings has great power over us by the typical algorithms instead of feelings measuring emotion starting december sixteenth on t w . this is deja vu news live from berlin that north korea launches another test missile and the white house responds mediately. question that we will handle. the intercontinental ballistic missile is thought to be north korea's most powerful today it appears to be capable of hitting the east coast of the united states while

some reaction also coming up. pope francis holds a mass and buddhist majority me and mark tens of thousands turned out for that he calls on the people there to embrace peace and reconciliation. and tackling migration the european union and the african union get together to work out how to deal with the flow of migrants from africa to europe. i'm brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show u.s. president donald trump says he will handle the latest list of missile test by north korea is claiming it's twenty has launched this year is a new type of the songs on experts believe it could be capable of hitting any city in the united states. that. north korea claims it has become

a nuclear power after a lull of over two months it has again fired an intercontinental ballistic missile one that flew at a much higher altitude then past launches before landing in the sea of japan. state media and now as the news they said the country's leader kim jong un declared with pride that now we have finally realized the great historic cause of completing the status nuclear force p n young claims the new missile brings the whole u.s. mainland within its range a direct challenge to donald trump but this time the u.s. president's reaction was more muted than in the past after meeting with his secretary of defense trump refrained from issuing threats. that will take care of it we have general national with us and. discussion.

it is a situation that we will handle. north korea's immediate neighbor was less restrained within minutes south korea responded by firing missiles into the sea to demonstrate its ability to strike pyongyang's launch sites the south korean president said the international community had no choice but to continue applying pressure and sanctions. you know. visit action does not only increase tension on the korean peninsula but gravely endangers the international peace and security we strongly condemn north korea's reckless behavior. seoul has warned the situation could spiral out of control on wednesday the u.n. security council will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the situation.

earlier i spoke with journalist jason strother in seoul south korea i asked him for his assessment of whether north korea does have a missile that can carry a nuclear warhead to any target in america. i mean based on what we heard on the north korean broadcast this afternoon it would seem that it has the capabilities and judging by the tone that president trump general mattis as well as officials here in south korea are taking it seems that this is a missile that can reach out to tubes that no other north korean missile can before as before the u.s. based union of concerned scientists an independent think tank says that if all these numbers are true in terms of its trajectory and altitude this missile could strike as far as washington d.c. ok now a regional powers like japan and south korea have been taking defensive measures in response what you tell us about that. right well i mean him immediately

after north korea's rocket launch early this morning south korean military forces conducted its own live fire exercises they shot missiles at targets off at sea off the east coast by land sea and air according to the joint chiefs of staff here these targets where approximately the same distance as north korea's launch site so south korea is sending the message that it can handle or at least take out any of north korea's rocket launch facilities ok now it's been two months since the last missile launch by north korea what can we make of the timing of this law. well i think there had been some hope that the tough talk coming from washington over the past few months maybe scared kim jong un into holding back on its role in his rocket launches but just yesterday here in seoul south korea's unification minister said that north korea has made it faster progress than anyone expected in terms of

developing its nuclear weapons program and that more tests should be expected essentially so really this missile test this what looks like an i.c.b.m. shouldn't come as a surprise jason thanks so much for that from seoul south korea pope francis has held an open air mass and me and mar some one hundred fifty thousand people mainly from the country's small catholic minority attended the service and then gone. the pond have called on people to embrace forgiveness and reconciliation as a country emerges from nearly five decades of military rule on tuesday the part of met de facto leader aung san suu kyi and what is both a spiritual ended diplomatic visit pope francis avoided discussing the persecution of the hinge of muslims which the u.n. and the u.s. have described as ethnic cleansing francis is the first pontiff to ever visit the country. abbas in hartogs joins us now from ragon young going for the

latest on what was the mood at the mass boston. brian considering the fact that there were as you said one hundred fifty thousand people about at that at that mass on the sports ground in yangon it was surprisingly quiet it was everything was very well organized people had been waiting for hours some even since the last night before the mass actually started to get in then they took their seats everyone had their assigned blocks where they were supposed to be and then when the pope arrived of course some people cheered but most people think they had little flags that they were waving when he passed around in his open air car he was driving through through the crowds and and waving at the people the people force waved back and waved their flags but it was in the mood i would say everything was very solemn it was it was. quiet rather but that

doesn't mean that the people were unhappy to see the pope we spoke to people after the mass that ended in one lady even had tears in her eyes saying that she was so happy that she got the chance to see the pope you have to understand that many of these people come from very very remote areas of the country ethnic areas mountainous areas and in the on the on the border through to thailand to china also to travel very far some for. days to come here and to see the pope and. many of them or most of them all of them were very happy to actually finally get the chance to see him in person and up close and they were no doubt listening very closely as well to the pontiff homily what the pope talked about during that. well mainly was talking about making peace this is a country that is facing many conflicts not only the conflict in rakhine of course

and the crisis of the rohinton the plight of the ruins of people there but many conflicts there are. ethnic conflicts that have been running for many decades for example in christian state where many of the christians are from many of the christians also that were at the mass today there is an armed conflict there that has been running for a very long time and many people. have bare wounds from from this conflict and that's what that's what the pope talked about and talked about three conciliation and how that reconciliation was only possible that if there was forgiveness and if there was love and that people shouldn't resort to anger and to hatred and to revenge when it comes to dealing with these conflicts even though that might be a human reaction but he said to have the example of jesus christ obviously. to take that example and. to use the forgive be forgiving to the people

who hurt them to overcome the wounds that they carried away from from from these many years of conflict brian. in the political discussions with aung san suu she and with military leaders apparently the pontiff did not raise the issue of the road ahead why was. well it was the pope's decision not to mention the role hinge or. the thing is before the speech yesterday and also today he didn't mention he didn't mention that there were injured he did refer very briefly to the conflict in rakhine along with other conflicts people he was praying for in those areas they didn't mention the injury and he was warned by various. i for him also by the cardinal here in myanmar not to use that word because it would antagonize a lot of people here this is a very sensitive issue and the fear was that it might deep in the divide between

the religious groups and make that reconsider the ation that the pope is trying to help achieve and to make that more more difficult than maybe that was the reason why he chose not to use that word brian bussin hard bring us up to date on the qantas visit to myanmar thanks very much this morning boss and. now for some of the other stories making the news this hour international airport is set to reopen today that after an erupting volcano stranded tens of thousands of travelers for two days now. has been spewing ash and smoke more than seven thousand meters into the air flights were canceled in its concerns the cloud poses a threat to flight safety. as top court has struck down constitutional limits on reelection paving the way for president a former almost run for a fourth term the leftist leader took power in two thousand and six and has overseen an economic boom that lifted millions of people out of poverty but his

popularity has been dropping and mistrust shelagh asians the senior saudi arabian prince met have been has been freed after more than three weeks in detention metabolise one of dozens of royals officials and businessman arrested in a corruption probe ordered by the country's crown prince. well more than eighty african and european leaders are gathering in ivory coast to promote jobs and stability for africa's rapidly growing population the two day summit opens as the european union places a greater emphasis on its ties to africa and especially of light in light of unprecedented levels of migration. i. that european capital was trying to send out some positive vibes at a number of events ahead of the summit in abidjan and at the european parliament high ranking politicians were also trying to find solutions for better cooperation between the continents is opening up the people in the past the europeans had

a tendency to look to the east towards russia and china they haven't done enough in africa sure we invested and we are committed but i think we need to strengthen our strategy not just throw money at the problem may. by then or that i wish. the wake up call for europe was the migration crisis more than one hundred thousand africans arrived on the shores of the e.u. this year alone and some estimate that two million more are on the move towards europe the e.u. has been working on a plan to curb the influx and will try to sell it at the summit one of the key aspects of the plan is to fight the root causes of migration in some countries like those are political in others like nigeria the main reason is poverty the e.u. also wants to destroy the business model of human trafficking smuggling africans to europe has become

a multibillion euro industry. to keep migrants from making the dangerous trek across the mediterranean the e.u. would like to beef up so-called reception centers in the transit countries and finally the e.u. is hoping to reach agreements with the countries of origin to take back those migrants who made it to europe but were not granted asylum. many african countries want something in return mainly money and legal migration alternatives for their citizens. that was have it the females you know we just lack the funding and we have the will to change things but this will need to. to be supported with resources our economy is mainly informal to change that we need foreign investment. in forming a new full. day he did business his mom it was in. european countries

are we really go they have sunk a lot of development money into africa over the decades like here in chad often with no noticeable improvement but for many on the continent the blame is clearly not entirely africa's. the biggest mistake is that aid doesn't always come with conditions attached and the red carpet is being rolled out for dictators that are starving their people and corrupting elections while enjoying the respect of the european countries. to live his big. money in return for migration control most likely that will be the defining narrative. the europeans hope that this africa e.u. summit will yield tangible results. for the very latest from the cross over now to do that is max hoffman standing by for us in abidjan max what are people expecting to come out of the summit. bryan the official motto here

is empowering africa's youth and if you look at the demographics you have this is the youngest continent in the world but you also have the highest rate of youth unemployment and then if you see the new new statistics that the whole population in africa is going to court job will until two thousand one hundred you can see this is in the porton topic but it is a long term topic and in the short and mid term it's the africans and the europeans are expecting different things as we just saw in the report the africans want more aid they want investment they want money to put it quite simply and the europeans want african countries to help them curb the influx of migration in short they want border and migration control in return for their financial efforts ok sounding like migration and security are likely to be key issues at this summit can we expect substantial progress in these areas. remember what happened on the western

balkans route that was the the route where most migrants came through two years ago that was effectively shut down because one of the transit countries in this case turkey played along and said ok we will help you curb the influx of migrants that's something you cannot reproduce replicate here in africa because some countries make a profit transit countries like niger through the human trafficking and other countries like libya are completely out of control i mean you see in the reports that migrants now are being auctioned as slaves in libya this just shows you how far gone that country is it is the country where most migrants pass through so there is no easy solution that's why the e.u. now is trying to focus on the countries of origin we just talked about ethiopia we talked about niger meaning that they want to eliminate the root causes why people make that trek to europe and that is something they try to do with financial aid and of course also trying to convince those countries to take back the migrants

that don't have any right to say in the european union but that brian is a very very long process it will take years decades it's a step by step progress process and that so many presidents heads of state heads of government are talking here of the jaw that's already a success ok max often for us and others i'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of that summit max thanks very much for now though. well looks like there could be some progs progress in the brics it talks a good heart and that's why brian according to british media reports at least there has been a preliminary agreement on the so-called briggs's divorce bill the e.u. says britain owes it money from long term financial obligations such as investment programs and infrastructure projects agreed before the bank said referendum the divorce bill as proved a stumbling block in talks a settlement could mean that real negotiations about future relations and try to trade could stop. newspaper reports say the two sides have reached an agreement in

principle for the u.k. to pay between forty five and fifty five billion euros in a brags that bill to the e.u. the payment has been a sticking point in the recently stalled negotiations led on the british side by briggs it minister david davis the e.u. was demanding sixty billion euros from the u.k. as a kind of tab to be settled before briggs's a collection of budget commitments and pension promises expected from the u.k. as part of its even membership through twenty nineteen the e.u. has vowed not to move forward until the issue is resolved and even given a december fifteenth deadline for progress the new offer has been expected in recent days the u.k. needs to move beyond the divorce phase of talks before it can negotiate a future trade pact with the bloc a critical issue for its post breaks economy the possibility of leaving the union without a deal is widely viewed as an economic worst case scenario other stumbling blocks remain in the divorce phase including the nature of sixty thousand people on his

payroll seamers is just over half of that some five thousand companies have operations in china last year alone they invested six point seven billion euros in the countries now china's law requires foreign companies to allow communist party representations inside the companies for a long time these were just symbolic units but now german businesses are increasingly facing political pressure from within their chinese operations for more details on that we're now joined by the director of the center for international economics god will further meyer who joins us now from munich it's been a symbolic these representations have been largely symbolic for a long time what's different now. well the difference is the president is huge in being. wants a new model for the the chinese a socialist and socialist with chinese characteristics and there he wants to you

know stronger control of the party over the entire economy including the foreign affiliates and that means that these the party sells these companies now have a very specific role to do and a very specific objective namely to make sure that you know the foreign companies are in harmony that's how they say in harmony with the with the overall objectives of the chinese leadership is that the only problem that presents itself or or is the these these committees in inside the companies do they present other problems as well well there is of course the issues that they might influence business decisions for example when it comes to recruiting so that the companies are degrees of liberty in their actions in china if they want to stay in close contact with the chinese government if they don't want to lose procurement contracts they have to play by the rules but that might affect their decisions and it could come to the

detriment of all the world profitability and the overall long term strategies of those companies in china that sign that recently stars itself increasingly as a big champion for free trade now that isolation is cynism is coming over from across the atlantic. only seems to apply to other countries doesn't it. yes sure i mean when the chinese talk about free trade they mean free trade in their own interpretation. they like to have access to foreign export markets it's clear that it is same time the chinese model. wants to reinforce control over the chinese economy in all its components in all its parts in that of course clashes sometimes with the idea of free trade how we understand it which is of course strongly weighted to the concept of market economy and that is something that has been on the retreat in the last five years at least in china. thank you very much for this
