before 911 and after 911, he says after 911, the clubs came off. were organized crime rules. were conglomerates make their own laws? work through it big. it doesn't matter. the only criteria is what will people we shed light on the opaque world. who's behind it and why are they a threat to whistle peak will this week on d. w visited avenues. asia coming up today is asi on feeling. the people of me and my very elected leader gets more general time just days off to cambodia. prime minister visits with the military, one tough have asi on leaders,

failed in their push to restore democracy. and why the development of hypersonic besides could push the arms race on the korean peninsula into a watering new phase. ah . i british manager, welcome to dw news asia, glad you could join us a me and my thought has sentenced ousted leader on saying switching to 4 more years in jail for illegally importing and possessing walkie talkies. she already faced as a 2 year jail term on other charges, rights groups of called the proceedings. a court courtroom suck us. but they have got it on even as a regional grouping. oscio, an attempt to manage the crisis and me and mot last week, get bored in prime minister hans and visited the country. the 1st forum leader to

also since last year school, he met military ruler min own p n. a meeting criticized by pro democracy professors and rights groups. but cambodia, which currently leads us young, said it was trying to push for a return to peace in me and my this was a visit that critics had urged cambodian prime minister to cole off they said his trip would not only empower the leaders of a violent qu it would also be an insult to the more than $1300.00 people. the military has killed since last february. but thompson asked for patience and after the talks were over, his foreign minister said progress had been made i may know what we achieved in this negotiation. ortho me, jamar leader was a very good positive result with a progressive step forward on the implementation of the 5 point consensus that all

ozzy and leaders agreed upon june morning. mm hm. oh god, what greg graham graham, the 5 point consensus, a kind of road map to peace was agreed to by all the leaders in indonesia left april, back then me and mar, promised to end the violence and engage in political dialogue. but that didn't happen. as the crackdown continued ozzie and bond me and mar from attending its summit last october. now to visit my cambodian prime minister who himself sees power in a coup in 1997, looks like an attempt to allow me a more back into the fold without pre conditions. this is angered, the supporters of democracy, me a more they took to the streets in towns across the country over the weekend. the people are member are clearly sending a very strong message that on son is not welcome in law. they are

very upset that that on son his a should be providing mr to mrs. chu, b, moderate honda and, and which is actually terrorized at the whole country. but despite such opposition to the visit, somebody, it insists a different approach is needed. if piece is to be restored in me, mar. yeah. and from on this, i'm joined from banker by phil robertson from human rights watch. phil, the so called 5 point plan agreed to buy asi on members. last april, admittedly hasn't worked. good. the can borden prime ministers approach of meeting me and mas military rulers directly be worth trying out. well, judging by the joint statement that came out of that meeting between once and, and our senior gentleman on lying. i think the answer is probably no. the statement itself touted a ceasefire that was agreed by the myanmar military till the end of 2022.

but the reality is they are busy bombarding and attacking ethnic organizations all across the country. and no one's interested in talking to them about a cease fire. so the fact that prime minister hans, and how did this as some sort of political progress shows either that he has been duped by the burmese or that he's playing along with the charade to try to indicate there's progress one. in fact, there is none. you mean can border isn't being sincere and its efforts to secure peace in myanmar that is still a very open question. ah, and our assessment based on that joint statement is that no, because cambodia also did not insist on meeting with all parties involved in myanmar, including on sang sushi and other in prison, elected leaders from the november 2020 election. you know, this was a meeting between dictators between once an a,

who's that his own human rights problems in cambodia and are the general who's leading the brutal myanmar huda ah, which has been massacring villagers and bombarding settlements and committing human rights violations all across the country. and now you have cambodia as terrified he on for this year. what then can we expect from the 10 mission block when it comes to muma? well, we'll see next week when the foreign ministers of asi and meet and see a maria in cambodia ah, for their foreign ministers, retreat weather hoods and gets an earful from the other foreign ministers for basically stepping out of turn. ah, there wasn't really very much consultation with the other us young leaders before who and send get it off to our myanmar. and a, it appears that he'd got very little from his conversations there and appears to

have endorsed a statement that on its face is problematic. so he's got a lot the answer for, and i think that the foreign ministers are the other countries, particularly indonesia, ah, malaysia and singapore who have been very tough on man, mar how they're going to give him a hard time. what does all the say about us in so called central role in trying to negotiate an end to the crisis muma? well i think i see on is still split right down the middle about what to do about me and mark, ah, and that is a fundamental problem. you know, the european union and it's member states continue saying that our c n st rowdy is a core part of their policy towards myanmar. but that st. rowdy is failing because there is no consensus about where to go next. i think it's now time for the european union, the u. s. and other countries that play a leading role in stop trying to push this off to the regional leaders to solve for

roberts and relieve therefore the timing. but thank you so much for joining us to do. thank you to the korean peninsula annex, but a fast developing arms raised between north and south korea is set to go hypersonic . last week, north korea claimed to have tested a hypersonic missile for the 2nd time in 5 months. south korea has dismissed the claim. now whatever the truth, the danger posed by hypersonic missiles is very real compared to ballistic missiles, hypersonic misses, fly more than 5 times the speed of sound often times faster than that too. and that direction can also be changed mid flight. think of it as a stone you have thrown, but then are able to change its direction and speed as it flies through the air that this makes hypersonic miss. i was very hard to detect. but traditional missile defense systems, for instance, a hypersonic miss. i'll fight between pyongyang and soule will take just seconds to

reach its target for distance of nearly 200 kilometers. now, not korea claims it possesses such weapons and this year, south korea intends to test its own hypersonic missiles. keeping an eye on this for us is correspondent frank smith. in so frank with our reports that south korea plans to test its own hypersonic messiah this year. is this the start of a hypersonic messiah race on the korean peninsula? well, i think it's fair to say it is it's, it's possibly even fair to speculate that this has been happening for some time. south korea has said that it's been developing hypersonic missile capabilities since the early 2 thousands ramping up those development efforts in the, in the 20 ten's. and it also says that the hypersonic missile that it will be testing and deploying, perhaps later in the 20 twenty's is better than the one that was tested just days

ago by north korea. the south korean hypersonic missile will be a hypersonic cruise missile capable of flying its entire flight at a very low altitude. and at that hypersonic high speed, making it more difficult to detect. then the missile that north korea recently tested, which initially had a ballistic missile parabolic phase that, that could be detected. and as you mentioned, it only takes report, say 75 seconds for this cruise type hypersonic missile to theoretically reach pyongyang from sol. here in south korea, the front we're used to north korea regularly cutting out reference tests, but law stood so south korea tested submarine launched missiles and rockets. why you soule arming itself like never before? there are a few reasons for this is south korea has been building up. it's military over the

past couple of decades since about 2020 under kim day john. but the missile development has really taken off over the past year, especially as an agreement between south korea in the united states released south korea from limitations on its payload, in range of its ballistic missiles. south korea is also made efforts to try to develop a more independent security structure. yet you have a south korean president, moon j, in speaking of dialogue with the north. i'm and that's what he said after the recent north korean missiles test. ah, moon jane's hopes for these stalks rapidly evaporating. and if a presidential election in march. well i think that's fair to say in order for peace talks to take place on the korean peninsula. first,

they have to involve the united states and north korea. they have to involve di, new chloride, zation or at least arms control. right now, the us really isn't interested in negotiating with north korea because it has other, you know, more important items on its foreign policy and domestic agenda, given the, on the current coven, 900 situation. they're also north korea for it's part really felt that it, you know, got pushed around at the hanoi negotiations with former us president donald trump, failing to secure any type of agreement there. well, coming to that negotiating table, you know, with an offer and some concessions. things could change here, though with the election coming up. as you mentioned, e j young is a progressive, he's another, a liberal left wing or like a current president move in. and he may want to reach out to north korea once again . frank smith in cyril, we leave it there was an i mean,

but thank you so much for joining us today. and besides north and south korea, india, china and russia also have various stages of either developing or already deploying hypersonic marseilles in asia. we leave today with images of what the future warfare is already beginning to look like. are back tomorrow, the st. i'm from so you've been with she's up to date. don't miss our highlights. the d w program online, d w dot com highlight we're all

the good to go beyond deal with as we take on the world. 8 hours. i do all this. yeah. we're all about the stories that matter to you. whatever it takes. 5 policemen follow up with you. we are. your is actually on fire. made for mines. ah. counting the costs of catastrophe. research suggests 2022 is the 2nd worst year on reco. if a damage caused by natural disasters,

we'll discuss why. and out of office the all micron variance of korean of our is put around a 1000000 brits in isolation. we'll look at the toll that's taking on businesses database. nissan robots in berlin. welcome to the program. hurricanes, floods, wildfires 2021 brought more than its fair share of natural disasters and as well as claiming around 10000 lives. they also took a major financial toll. german rancher, a munich re says it was one of the most expensive yes. on record with the global damages estimated at around $280000000000.00, only a $120000000000.00 of that was insured. hardest hit was the united states would account for a $150000000000.00 of the damages. it was struck by hurricane ida disastrous tornadoes. an extra.
