. harrison also coming up around supreme leader breaks his silence on anti government protest across the country, uses the u. s. in israel, of planning the protest runs the biggest and ears equal to the death of a young woman whose custody a tragedy. and the nobel prize in medicine goes to sweeter scientist avante pablo. he receives the honor for discoveries in the dna of extinct creatures. and for his research and the human evolution, ah, i'm here until welcome to the program. will bring you those stories in just a moment, but 1st we have breaking news. north korea has fired a ballistic missile. the flew over japan, south korean, and japanese authorities confirm the launch of the missile, which they say, flu, 4000 kilometers before falling into the pacific ocean. for more on that, let's cross to tokyo now and journalist michael pen. michael,

thanks for joining us. so what more do we know about this incident? well, we don't know exactly much about the, the launch itself, but we know quite a bit about how, how was the people in japan reacted to it. so the missile flew up according to reports. so over the northern part of japan, the total cool region is it's called here and flew into the pacific ocean, as mentioned, ah, it did create a considerable amount of large in japan, there was a sort of a public warning system called a public warning system was was up was so was operated, which meant that people were asked to at sort of take cover on some train services were suspended. so it was, it certainly caused quite a bit of a concern here. and of course, the japanese government has come out to condemn the launch. it's the 1st time we've seen anything like this in japan,

as in about 5 years since. so 2017. so how significant is it that the missile actually passed over japan? well, politically speaking, it's very significant because you know this, you know, most of these missile tests when we hear about north korean missile test, they're just fired from the coast and they land in the sea of japan. and this is of concern to, you know, people, perhaps fishermen or people who are doing shipping. but if we're in this case, we're talking about it actually going over the japanese islands, which means that for example, there's a technical problem. it very well could land in japan and basically constituted an attack, or if it's shot down, or if there's an attempt to shoot down one of these missiles that's also could lead to the missile coming down in japanese territory and possibly causing loss of life . so i think that to not just a government, but the japanese people themselves become quite alarmed. and in cases when north

korea fires missiles over the islands, you're right. that was journalist michael pen reporting for us from tokyo. thank you for bringing this up to date report suggest that ukrainian forces have recaptured territory in the south of the country. it's their biggest breakthrough. they are since the start of the war. russian installed officials have acknowledged ukraine's advances in harrison region. one of 4 that russia illegally annexed last week. photo shared on social media appear to show soldiers raising ukrainian flags and several villages. on verified reports suggest ukrainian troops have advanced as much as 40 kilometers in a single day. in his daily video address to the ukrainian people present, followed me. zalinski also mentioned recent gains by the countries armed forces. so when you for those of saturday, the, our sense of movement of our army and all our defenders continued. there are new

liberated settlements in several regions. fierce fighting continues in many areas of the front, but the future of these hostilities is obvious. more and more occupiers are trying to escape the enemy, army is suffering more and more losses. and there is a growing understanding that russia made a mistake by starting the war against ukraine is also vino, volatile clay debris correspondence connelly's in kiff. earlier we asked him about the report ukrainian advances in the south the country. it does seem like after months where there was a lot of talk about had a song and where this was busy, it turned out to be a distraction tactic when actually crane was making it was in the east. and basically, just to do some incremental change incremental movements if i saw that this is now really getting going great forces, not only heading towards case of the west, but also from the north. and the russians already exposed that they, on the west bank of the pro river is really, really wide river. that is, that is why just at that point and crazy been able to base to destroy all the

crossings. and now russia is depend on pontoon bridges and air transit to get supplies that garrison there. so they're very, very vulnerable. and there's a sense that grant is now really reaping the rewards, months of fairly kind of low level and kind of mythological work. it's trying to just destroy russian supply lines, russian homes deposed. and now those russian soldiers are really suffering from basically kind of starvation over. i mean, isn't there really, you have to think 3 times about using all kinds of weapon systems and not really able to respond in kind to the kind of barriers that coming on too, coming up against from the ukrainians. now, moving into wisconsin, around supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei has accused the united states in israel been behind the wing with nationwide on rest, sparked by the death of master armine a 22 year old. mooney died last month after been arrested by runs morale, the police for allegedly violating the countries. conservative dress code activists in the government crackdown on demonstrations has killed at least 52 people so far
