many im gonna working on lenses b, y fairly holiday destinations and drowning in plastic white line at the console. every year europe exports over $1000000.00 tons of plastic with there. another way. after all, the environment isn't to recyclable. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines with this is the w news, asia coming up to date, concerns about north korea, firing a ballistic missile over japan. the 1st such launch in almost 5 years and the longest day about the united states and south korea condemned the test is dangerous . and reckless, how worried should we be about north korea's next move?

and indonesia, navy is accused of demanding bribes from ships. it said would lead illegally anchored in its waters where he the ordeal from one captain, held captive for half a year. ah. i bid was all and glad you could join us. south korean and american fighter jets have carried out precision bombing drills in response to north korea, firing a ballistic missile over japan. the launch prompt to tokyo to activate its miss all the load system and issue a rare warning for people to take shelter. it comes in a record year of weapons tests by pyongyang, which recently revised its laws to declare itself an irreversible nuclear power. ah morning siren sound out of the north of japan

passengers on their morning commute had to wait as trains were halted. while outside lance speaker announcements warned people to take shelter. ha! it's the 1st time in 5 years that north korea is fired, a missile over japanese territory. north korea has fired a ballistic missile. it flew over our country and we believe it fell in the pacific ocean. it's another mark very fact after a series of ballistic missile launches and we strongly condemn this this is the 7th time a north korean missile is flown over japan. but tokyo said this may have been the longest yet. the ballistic missile travelled for about 4600 kilometers before crashing into the pacific ocean, fired in a different direction. that would be far enough to hit the u. s. island of graham. the u. s. was quick to condemn the launch and caught it dangerous and reckless. and

south korea vowed a tough response. i don't need to more on the heck pull such reckless nuclear propagation, we will face a resolute response from our military as well as our allies and the international community are hello thalia junior high pushing north korean leader kim john own, has long been working on expanding the countries missile program and it's nuclear capabilities. last month, north korea declared itself in nuclear weapons state, ruling out any possibility of deed nuclear ization. military experts believe this message was an intermediary range, ballistic missile, most likely of our song, 12 shown in these images of a north korean military parade. from april this year. the miss i launch comes after japan, south korea in the u. s. conducted naval exercises together for the 1st time since

2017 south korea and the u. s. have been warning that pyongyang is preparing to conduct another nuclear test, which they say could happen soon after north korea's ally, china holds a communist party congress on october 16th shadow carol is from the news and analysis outlet, the korea risk group. the north koreans have never managed to fire, broke it this far. how concerning is that and i think by itself is not particularly concerning. the missile that we believe is to have been tested today is very likely a song, 12 intermediate range ballistic missile, has been tested over japan, on least 2 occasions in the past. the main difference here is that the range of it is, has gone up by about a 1000 kilometers. so it's not by itself concerning for the distance, but more so for the timing. given that as being know,

at least direct, you know, attack or provocation by the u. s. south korea, japan on north korea day can be clearly seen just yet to have triggered this. what is so alarming about the timing? well, it's kind of come out of nowhere we've, we've had an all of a sudden in the last few weeks, 5 or 6 rounds of north korean missile testing. what we did see in august was us south korea, military jails, taking place for the 1st time. since trump's piece diplomacy of 2018. we. we anticipated reactions like this, then they didn't happen. well, we have seen in the last few days as vice president, kamala harris of the us visiting south korean japan, making anti north christ statements if you will. we've also seen the u. s. introducing as fast so called strategic assets to the korean peninsula. about 10

days ago the u. s. s. ronald reagan, an aircraft carrier, there's also been some other minor trilateral submarine anti submarine trainings. now, altogether, these may be why north korea has decided to do this because those 3 things basically comprised the most strident, political and military threat the norm has faced. since the trump era of foreign fury 2017. and we're hearing south korean and us war planes already conducting bombing drills in response. what is the risk of escalation here? yes, so this bombing drills right now, we may see a missile launches into one of the ocean areas near south korea tomorrow that could be unilateral. sanctions, the risk is north korea will use the steps and retaliatory actions to basically

further justify increasing as next step, potentially even to a new killer test. we've been worried about a north korean 7th nucular test. since may, it's not happened. i could see a situation where a u. s. and south korean, a response may be japanese to, is even used to publicly justify on off chris, much anticipating a killer test. so what needs to be done to de escalate? what's going on right now? that's a tough question. ready for the political has leaders to determine. but in some ways, it's hard to do politically by, in some ways ignoring this may be the best option, not making a big song and dance about it. because we know very clearly that north korea likes to respond far with fire. and if, if the u. s. and rock go to fall with responses in the next 24 hours,

it could greatly trigger problems. i just point out that about 34 weeks ago, the north koreans revealed the nuclear doctrine that the method that the scenarios in which they are using kill opens. and there was some very worrying and vague language contained in that doctrine. and it will be important for the u. s. and rock not to step over any gray red lines that the north koreans seem to painted during that doctrine. to avoid the threat of, of north korea using nuclear weapons in some way. and a carol from the korea risk group. thanks very much for being on d. w. news. asia. thank you. to indonesian football officials have been suspended for life and over a dozen elite police officers are under investigation over last. we can stampede at a stadium in east java. the government says the death toll now stands at 130 free

terms of, from probabilities that this, this is an, or was certainly some kind of exercise by the indonesian navy, or backed by the indonesian navy ah, and to extort money from shipping us. the indonesian navy has denied requesting or taking bribes and then he could do it either. we never asked for money or payment the law because everything we do with follows the legal procedure and walked that with legacy down with little girl. i believe if you hear anything about it, if i as yup, are please report to me who they are by guy, whether it's just ob, certain parties or some people who attempt to weaken redial the indonesian navient at the lower. yeah. captain mcgee nog is now back in the philippines. he was finally released after more than 6 months, which included time in prison,

held alongside murderers and rapists. the once proud captain is trying to reorient his life and process the memories of an ordeal that still keep him captive. i've been fizzle, and i'll be back same time, same place tomorrow. in the meantime, you can get more stories on d, w dot com slash asia or on our social media channels. to you again say the r e a might and the pillar of stick in society. a symbol of arbitrary rule and crucial tool in the struggle for justice
