donald trump said just six and -- six months ago would never happen. reporter: people gathered in the streets of pyongyang to watch the announcement on television. the state broadcast its claim that north korea had successfully test launched in intercontinental listed missile. if confirmed that would mean it would have the potential to reach the united states mainland. during the test of flu for about 40 minutes before coming down in japanese waters. tokyo quickly condemned the latest missile test. the prime minister said he would hold talks with the u.s. and south korea on the fringes of the g 20 summit later this week. president trump, and presidemt -- >> we will work together to increase pressure on pyongyang.

reporter: donald trump to to twitter to slam north korean leader kim jong-un, asking if he had nothing better to do. and he had a message to beijing. perhaps china will put a heavy move on north korea and end this nonsense once and for all. china for its part, asked all sides to practice restraint. >> the un security council resolutions have very clear rules about north korea launching missiles. and we urge north korea not to resort to actions that violate these relevant resolutions and to return to talks. reporter: so far there has been no independent confirmation that tuesday's launch was in intercontinental ballistic missile. but it does appear to be the country's most successful

missile test yet, a clear warning for washington and his asian allies. brent: according to north korea's estate news service, the missile today -- we are wondering how far it can reach. the north koreans claimed it would have a range of up to 10,000 kilometers would allow it to carry nuclear warheads to canada, most of europe, and parts of the united states. as you see there. most people say its maximum reach would be 7000 kilometers. joining me is gunter, he spent many years heading dw's asia de sk. the situation with north korea has gone from bad to worse. how serious is the situation tonight? gunter: i think it is a little bit more serious than before but

there are serious doubts that this missile was really in intercontinental ballistic missile. but of course the north koreans are working very hard to get functional icbm's. the danger is not that great yet because there are at least two major hurdles. one is, if you mount a nuclear warhead on a missile, it must be that small to be transported. this is a very difficult technology. second, if you need to, let's say, separate the warhead from the missile, this is another complicated technology. thirdly, you have to shield the warhead. brent: exactly.

nuclear weapons capability is still up in the air. but they do have a rocket, if it is an icbm, that can pose a credible threat to the u.s. does that change the calculus then for everyone? china, japan, south korea? gunter: everyone was preparing for such a situation. the threat, that's the question. the only threat they tried to produce against the united states. south korea, forget about that. china, they would never, ever attack china. brent: this is the first time we've talked about them having a rocket that could reach u.s. territory. if the u.s. president is faced with that reality he's going to have to act. gunter: this is something really

incalculable. because the president of the united states of america is not calculable in his foreign-policy. this i consider at present to be the greater larger danger the north korea, real or dangerous. brent: the u.s. has requested a closed-door session of the un security council tonight to do with this. the u.s. is still leading on the international community to help it deal with the situation. what you see happening in terms of china and russia using their influence on pyongyang to turn down the volume? do you think they're going to do that? so far that have been quite. -- quiet. gunter: russia to some extent will see -- will enjoy seeing president trump in such a dilemma.

china would try to pressure the north korean regime, but only to a certain extent. the north koreans are simple and stubborn and will go on with it. -- simply stubborn and will go on with it. brent: to talk to us tonight. the chinese president arrived in berlin just a few hours ago ahead of this week's g 20 summit in hamburg. xi and his wife flew in from moscow where he discussed the north korea's missile crisis. here in the german capital he is meeting chancellor angela merkel . authorities in hamburg are preparing for the arrival of the g 20 leaders, around 8000 violent protesters are expected that will be met by 20,000 police officers. reporter: the police have to be ready for everything, including

bringing foreign visitors to safety if needed. the u.s. delegation requested police conduct this exercise to do president trump's attendance. the meeting is set to last just two days but big security measures are in place. some 19,000 police are here. daily life in hamburg is on hold. critics are also getting ready. they want to take their message to the streets. they accuse political leaders of cutting off the earth's oxygen supply. >> we need different trade and climate policies. most of all we need climate justice, meaning the countries that contribute the most to climate degradation must now make the greatest contribution to addressing it. reporter: germany's interior minister visited hamburg and said the police are well-prepared.

authorities estimate the summit will draw some 8000 protesters who could resort to violence. >> peaceful protesters are welcome and admitted in our democratic society. violent protests cannot be justified under the constitutional right to free assembly and it will be stopped. reporter: the summit gets underway on friday. police will soon prove whether they can manage the balancing act of protecting for an in-state visitors were also guaranteeing the right to peaceful protest. brent: joining me this evening from hamburg is the foreign-policy spokesman for the left party in germany. more important committees organizing will be the final protest demonstration during the g 20 summit this coming saturday. get evening. what --good evening. what do you want to say to the 19 heads of state were coming to hamburg this week? -- who are coming to hamburg

this week? guest: do a better job. the f electronic -- we have people like trump and putin who are cracking down on democracy in her countries, human rights -- in their countries, human rights. i think the meeting we had here is a meeting of autocrats and warmongers. it is reason enough to not welcome g 20 in hamburg. brent: most of the leaders who will be in hamburg have been democratically elected and they are participating in a big exercise in diplomacy. so, how can you call them illegitimate? guest: i said nothing about illegitimacy. they are warmongers. many are democratically elected. as a foreign-policy person, i

was welcome when heads of state talk to each other. as long as they talk to each other they don't shoot each other. there are big problems with g 20. one is they are not only talking, they are deciding. they are making decisions for the rest of the world. the richest countries big positions -- make decisions for the rest of the world. the other problem is who is talking to each other. there will be a compact with africa but there only one country from africa at the table. yes, it is a was right to talk to each other, it has to be the right people talking. invite the african countries. brent: there was an african summit here two weeks ago and you had lots of heads of state from africa here meeting and it was all about africa then. i want to ask you about german officials including the interior ministry.

they are concerned about protesters resorting to violence in hamburg. what is your message to the protesters who are considering becoming violent? jan: my first message is, don't be scaremongering. with the german authorities are doing right now is they are trying to do everything to keep protesters out of hamburg. they are prohibiting tents, everything is prohibited. the reason is this city and this country don't want to see bigger protests. if there are really some, few of them who think about waging war on the street. i think they should know that the big demonstration on saturday, where we expect several tens of thousands of people, everyone is organizing this, it is very clear we don't want this demonstration to be violent and everybody is organizing it -- we will take

the responsibility not to let anything happen. brent: you had said in the past that you are not calling for protesters to renounce force in violence -- and violence. are you not encouraging an escalation of violence with that attitude? jan: i don't know what you are courting. i never said that. i am very clear, any kind of violence is not my kind of policy. i worked six months to assemble this big group of different organizations from different societies in germany. including many groups. i worked very hard and we are very clear that we want this protest to be friendly and happy. there is nothing that we want to engage in any kind of violence in the street.

this is very clear. brent: ok. we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. you're watching "dw news." after a short break we will be back with more news and business headlines. ♪

♪ brent: north korea claims it has tested an intervention -- tested an icbm. it raises the stakes in a region already high with tension. the second day of his visit to the gulf, the german foreign minister has arrived in qatar and call for negotiations to resolve the crisis between qatar and its neighbors. last month saudi arabia and egypt broke off diplomatic ties,

accusing qatar is sponsoring terrorism. they are waiting for the response to demands and say they must meet or continue sanctions. the deadline is expected to expire one hour from now. our correspondent is covering the story. she joins me now from the qatari capital. good evening to you. what is at stake for saudi arabia and qatar? time is running out. >> yes, the time is definitely ticking. there was a very long and forceful risk of demands on the table by those arab countries led by saudi arabia. and that includes the financing of terrorism and extremism. this has come through as the key point where qatar still feels it is being very hard done by,

pointing towards what it feels it has done already and other countries in the region who it says are also not exactly innocent brokers. having said that, there is also the demand for a short time of the al jazeera network, which is a critical force that has clearly touched a raw nerve in the past, criticizing saudi arabia but of course not criticizing qatar itself. we are expecting the deadline to run out without anything germanic happening. there are the countries -- anything dramatic happening. there are the countries meeting in egypt and will basically have their response to the list of demands. that will be a potential turning point with this crisis either gets deeper, and the threats get harder, or we see an entry point

towards finding a format to make some headway. brent: if qatar does not meet the demands when the ultimatum runs out -- when the deadline runs out, what happens? michaela: that's the big question. frankly, i can't answer that right now. if nothing happens, that could already be seen as a potential success, at least stabilize a crisis that is potentially spinning out of control. it could be more than a blockade. money could be pulled out of banks and qatar. -- in qatar. of course qatar is a very rich country that could have a singapore-like independence for a while. but this is about a lot more. this is about the coherence of the gulf region and its stability. that is also what the german foreign minister is closely cooperating about.
