5:32 pm
since last year's school, he met military ruler min on p n. a meeting criticized by pro democracy protested 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 urge cambodian prime minister to cool off. they said his trip would not only empower the leaders of a violent coup. it would also be an insult to the more than $1300.00 people. the miller to his cove 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. norton william, our leader, was a very good positive result with a progressive step forward on the implementation of the 5 point consensus. that all
5:33 pm
owls and leaders agreed upon june morning, morgan walked grammarian, the 5 point consensus, a kind of road map to peace, was agreed to by all the leaders in indonesia last 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 ozzy and band me and mar from attending its summit last october . now the visit by cambodia, prime minister, who himself sees power nicu in 1997, looks like an attempt to allow me a mar 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 numer are clearly sending a very strong message that home son is not welcome in them. they are
5:34 pm
very upset that that once on his a should be providing visit a visit to the moderate honda and, and which is actually terrorized the whole country. but despite such opposition to the visit, cambodia and is a different approach is needed. if peace is to be restored, amy mar. yeah. and from on this, i'm joined from banker by phil robinson 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 mars military rulers directly be worth trying out well, judging by the joint statement that came out of that meeting between when san and our senior gentlemen on lying. i think the answer is probably know the statement itself touted a ceasefire. ah,
5:35 pm
that was agreed by the myanmar military till the end of 2022. but the reality is they're 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 a 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. so she and other imprisoned elected leader from the november 2020 election. you know, this was a meeting between dictators between once an a,
5:36 pm
who's that his own human rights problems in cambodia and are the general who's leading the brutal mia mar, huda ah, which has been massacring villagers and bombarding settlements and committing human rights violations all across country and now you have cambodia as chair of us here for this year. what then can we expect from the 10 mission block when it comes to muma? well, we'll see next week i, when the foreign ministers of asi and meet and see a maria in cambodia. ah, for their foreign ministers, retreat weather once and gets an earful from the other foreign ministers for basically stepping out of turn. there wasn't really very much consultation with the other aust. young leaders before whose and get it off to our myanmar and a, it appears that he'd got very little from his conversations there and appears to
5:37 pm
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 of 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 myanmar . ah, and that is a fundamental problem. you know, the european union and it's member states continue saying that asi and st. rowdy as 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 us in other countries, the play a leading role and stop trying to push this off to the regional leaders to solve
5:38 pm
for roberts and relieve their with that. i mean, but thank you so much for joining us today. 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. and 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. oftentimes 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 misses very hard to detect. but traditional missile defense systems, for instance, a hypersonic missile 5 between pyongyang and soule would take just seconds to reach
5:39 pm
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 for 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. so the career 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
5:40 pm
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 clone yang from sol. here in south korea, the front we're used to north korea regularly cutting out reference tests, but last to it, so south korea tested submarine, launched missiles and rockets. why you soon ami itself like never before? there are a few reasons for this. south korea has been building up. it's military over the
5:41 pm
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, mood jane's hopes for these stalks are 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,
5:42 pm
they have to involve the united states in north korea. they have to involve di, new chloride, zation or at least arms control. right now the u. s. 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, i'm a kron cove at 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 liberal left wing or like current president move in and he may want to reach out to north korea once again. frank smith in so we leave it there was an,
5:43 pm
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 missiles in asia. we leave today with images of what the future of warfare is already beginning to look like. are back tomorrow the st. barbara, think of them a back tooth . pulled one continent, 700000000 people with their own personal stories.
