my name is melissa can, thanks for joining us. north korea has launched a spice satellite into space, something confirmed by the south korean government. those sol says it is too early to determine whether the satellite is working in a way peeling young claims. this was the north 3rd attempt to put a satellite into orbit after 2 failures earlier this year. according to south korean intelligence analysts, russia played a role providing expert advice by helping analyze what went wrong with the 1st 2 launches. hours after the launch north korean state media showed its leader kim jong on already reviewing images of us military bases in guam, south korea's national intelligence service. however, expressed skepticism, suggesting that was more propaganda flare. then fact says chris reaction has been sharp with the military deploying more of what it calls surveillance assets to the

border. and announcing the suspension of a 5 year old military. of course it has maintained with this north. it's not the north korean regime is entirely responsible for the whole of the situation. and if north korea makes any additional provocation out military will immediately and vigorously punish north korea based on the firm. south korea us joint defense post jeopardy, who do i presume to on thursday? north korea retaliated by announcing that it was scrapping the military deal to and would strengthen forces along its border with the south as well. killing young issue to this statement on state media quote, we will withdraw the steps taken to prevent military conflict in all spheres, including ground, sea and air, and deployed more powerful armed forces and new type of military hardware along the demarcation line. and quote,

the regions largest player china attempted to downplay the satellite launch by simply saying it had taken note that it had happened. badging called on all parties to wind back tensions cause have been no situation if how we different reason it's in the interest. and so for countries in the region to ensure peace and stability and for more to put it because supplement, we hope all parties can keep calm and exercise restraint. and she told me to, to, to, that's asking for more, we have a w's east asia correspondent, james, a tater. james. can you place the satellite launch in the context of what feels like an enlist? number of missile launches from north korea. how significant is this? and how does it fit into kim young's overall strategy as well, if proven that the satellite is operational, there's no doubt it's a really significant moment. this has been a states and coal aim of north korea for years. now. questions remain, of course, about fits,

effectiveness. how useful the information that it provides will be earlier this year, south korea retrieve remains of a failed little ones for about 2 of those from north korea last year. and they said that it provided low resolution images has already been some quite interesting reporting, suggesting that north korea deliberately destroyed the launch real kit to stop it. being recovered by south korea or us will start to use this time. but if the latest wanted, what quote, this one's going to create, wants us to be able to do is to provide real time information on us and south korean operations in the region. and that would allow people, young to know about any large scale treatments, showing young is, of course, promise more notices of this nature. and it's important to remember that international observance has long criticized north korea's supposed to be civilian satellite launch is admitted. true, in this case, as ballistic missile test and disguise. i want to discuss the g 7 foreign ministers joint statement in response to the launch. uh and it, it also warns against further cooperation between russia and north korea. as saying,

quote, we are deeply concerned about the potential for any transfer of nuclear or ballistic missile related technology to north korea, which would further threaten this peace and stability of the region as well as across the globe and quote, how troubling is this possibility that russia stepped in to help with a launch a little south korean intelligence officer. as i said that there was russian assistance on this latest launch from north korea. there's still a bit of debate about the expensive that support and what there's really not debates on right now is the depth of this relationship now between palm young and most of the one i list i was speaking through today, simply told me that north korea is no longer isolated, both may be happening as it needs to isolated countries of finding useful allies in each other. of course, came gentlemen, have this landmark trip this up in september to russia's northeast, where he met with parents and in um, a cause. majority of of hovel, places that can receive briefings on, on russian space technology,

including satellites and tucson promise to help build some of those north korean satellites. but yeah, this is all part of abroad. it concerned about this evening relationship between show me younger moscow, which includes reason us obligations from young has been supplying weapons to most code for its ongoing invasion of ukraine. that is something that both country is denied. can you tell us more about this military record that both sides north and south korea have walked away from yeah, this was a landmark agreement signed for 3 months through craze in 2018. so what does this say in terms of the current climate in south korea? i mean, this military accord was made uh at a time when it was under a different president or absolutely, this is a really important point. this, a cold was, of course, signed in 2018 under the presidency of moons a. and we now have a different presidents in south curren june salt hill,

who is viewed as being much more focused when it comes to the question of north korea. and also increasingly having to respond to in balance and navigate even more focused voices in his cabinet, which have called for about the courts are be scrapped completely by the new by the south korean side. sorry, right now south gray is on the scrubs one elements, one clause of disagreement, but that all voices within south korea, the cooling for the angry agreements to be kind of frozen out completely. so you get a sense of the different political on state within south career, which is really exciting, some of the decision making here in soul. and that i think is what's worrying some people have the prospects for any um, any type of agreement like this being revived. in the near future. got it. now you're in type hey, a lot of the concern these days when it comes to security in the endo pacific is about a potential conflict between china and taiwan. but should the world be keeping a closer eye on what's happening on the korean peninsula?

it absolutely does. obviously, so much consigned to right to the taiwan intentions with aging is easy to forget the crossings, 2 countries a too crazy, technically still it war and that this represents a very real threats, a reasonable security instability, especially when you think of the size of the us presence in south korea and young young stated aim of of expanding it's, it's nuclear force and the us wanting to kind of move ahead with steps to continue to rise ation. think for western need is there really is a troubling coalition of powers at a constant tracing around north korea. now when you think of film young's expanding relationship with most going, but also the relationship of a cliff course has with badging to somebody with a slightly speaking to today say that, that try out a power is, is really shifting the 2 political states a place and not just south korea, but of course japan see which is facing 3 threats from japan up, sorry,

china in north korea and rusher. and i think you know, this, this latest launch is just to remind the once again evict streaming fractious through political situation that exists. not just in asia, but across the entire wells. now james tater, thank you for joining us. there are a few countries more vulnerable to the effects of climate change, then them all these the un has warrants that rising sea levels could make the archipelago virtually uninhabitable by the end of the century. the country's new president is hoping some ambitious engineering can mitigate this threat. but his plans have been criticized by environmental groups, a lovely sand beaches, turquoise lagoons and vast coral reefs. the mouths are dream destination but its islands are also on the front lines of the climate crisis and
