and saw korea from doing military drills . us at south korea would like to deter north korea from conducting additional missile tass. but that's not really what deterrence does. it's really just about trying to prevent the other. so raising the cost to the other side of potential conflict or war. and so i think that one of the problems, we have insurance competition, but the objectives on both sides are unrealistic. scott, you're talking about a deterrence a contest going on, but also you talked about this tit for tat that's been going on. this sort of cycle of escalation. can it be d escalated and, and how much concern is there about this? just becoming more of a cycle of escalation. well, i think that it can be escalated, but i think that it's likely to continue to escalate for the time being nor for i think needs crisis in order to be able to change its trajectory. and a lot of this is driven by the north korean desire to signal its displeasure around the us south korean military exercises and their resumption. the reason i think why we're free is uncomfortable with these exercises is bec

but south korea and the u.s.anning a tabletop exercise in washington later this month that they will plan to look at the responses to north korea's nuclear attacks even. haidi: sangmi cha with the latest with john liu on all the geopolitical tensions the last few days. let's look at how this is playing into the market movers. you are looking at asian defense stocks. annabelle: that's right. in light of what you are discussing there, all of these geopolitical tensions we are monitoring across the morning. we are seeing defense stocks gaining around the region. we are 10 minutes into the session now for japan and korea. that is despite the broader asia-pacific index holding study. it seems like we are a little bit not only in wait and see mode but muted given the u.s. is shut for a public holiday. not a huge lead in to the session today. another sector we are focusing on is what is happening in the energy space this morning given we saw oil capping is longest string of deadly losses this year. oil traders are reall

and so south korea in the u. s. held joint military drills that were in response to north korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on saturday. and now we have news of these latest north korean missiles. was this expected as a response? and just how concerning is it? there where the at the sat saturday, their lunch, the icbm and which is kind of like a lot to try to 3. so just to figure out, i mean our how, how well they can shoot when kim don't keep the order to strike. so it to like a 9 hour to, to should the should the whole me size. so, i mean, it has a lot of tell us a lot of seeing that north korea is trying to get the command and control system for bill nuclear ranch. and i mean, it's not that impressive. it took us like 9 hours, but still, i mean, is working. so we should be worried. i want to ask about engagement with north korea. you have the administration of former u. s. president of donald trump. they had engaged with north korea. there hasn't been any diplomacy with jo biden's adminis

. >> now in the past people have often thought that when the -- when north korea does its north korealackmail the world to get the money, sanctions relieve, food aid. do you think any of that is at play here? >> there has always been a pattern for north korea but i believe this time the north koreans are genuinely not interested in returning to talks with washington. >> so north korea is under a huge international sanctions. how is it able to find the funds to -- to pay for all of this modernization of its nuclear arsenal? >> on paper it looks like there is a lot of sanctions. but sanctions have to be implemented and china and russia are not playing ball. they have not been implementing sanctions for some time. right now north korea, as they have always done, rely on illicit activities to fund them. so current focus for example on cyberattacks, cryptocurrency, cyber heists, that is one way that north koreans are making money or get money to fund their program. >> and when you look at the international environment, does it seem like it is one that is conducive to more -- north korean a

and south korea from doing military drills. us and south korea would like to deter north korea from conducting additional missile tests. but that's not really what deterrence does. it's really just about trying to prevent the others, so raising the costs to the other side of potential conflict or war. and so i think that one of the problems, we have insurance competition. but the objectives on both sides are unrealistic. i think they can be escalated, but i think that it's likely to continue to escalate for the time. being ne, i think needs crisis in order to be able to change the trajectory. and a lot of this is driven by the north korean desire to signal its displeasure around the u. s. south korean military exercises and their resumption. iran is denying reports. it's intentionally enriched uranium beyond the acceptable international levels. united nations nuclear watchdog says it's in talk. softer report suggested iran in richmond had gone up to 84 percent a 90 percent threshold of client for use and a weapon. iran has previously enriched up to 60 percent. tara started stepping up its nucl

south korea, maybe externally. no one has the very best country economically. technologically and also in terms of the pop culture as well. but the country also at the same time, has relatively poor records on the new status in society, especially in workplaces. the country has reported the biggest gender pay gas among the always the, the member nations, every single year for the 6 years. and the country has been also ranked at the bottom of the, the so called the glass ceiling in there. that shows how hard that is to be a working woman can country and also what blake differently. yeah, i'm just trying to understand this is wrong. i mean, we talk about soccer and as you can point to that, it's a modern economy has been for many decades the what you were talking about. it essentially a very, very patriarchal and a very conservative mindset. how has that not changed and improved was there were a lot of reasons behind that as well thought out the country has basically achieved this economic growth in political democra

north korea is not happy with the ramping up of military exercises between us and south korea, which will take place in march. there's also a table top exercise that will look at nuclear scenarios that will happen between the u. s. and south korean next week. and i think ne, sending a message that it is unhappy with that, and it will fight fire, fire us, and south korean warplanes carried out a highly visible response to saturday's launch. south 3 defense ministry set the drill headed by nuclear people. american b, one bombers affirmed the united states commitment extended to terms of its nuclear weapons. the u. s. in japan held a similar, separate exercise over waters of japan's west coast. years of diplomacy, sanctions and international censure have done little to slow north korea's missile program. since martin al jazeera was scott snyder, the senior fellow for korea studies at the council on foreign relations. he says both sides on a cycle of reacting to each other. busy the north koreans themselves have said that the latest tests are directly response to us are okay. military dr

the sister of north korea warned about the threatening actions of the united states and south korea . sister of korean leader kim jong-un warned. north of the united states requested to stop all measures that threaten the security of the message. about 10 days ago, north korea displayed 11 intercontinental ballistic missiles samsung 17 in its military parade . american experts warned that these missiles can overcome the current missile defense of the united states. enough, and also released a prototype of a launcher for sending nuclear missiles with solid fuel , which makes it difficult to detect nuclear missiles in the event of a conflict, but which benefited from the joint us-south korean exercise of the us b-1 bomber. military payment of these two target countries the exercise was announced as a training exercise to counter a north korean nuclear attack, but north korea said the purpose of this exercise was to practice attacking pyongyang. turkey stopped the search operation to find survivors from the earthquake debris. on the fourteenth day after the earthquake in turkey, the head

is f. 35, still fighter jets, south korea and japan say the projectiles. a short range, ballistic missiles, young young testament, intercontinental ballistic missile on saturday because i just couldn't get out of it since last year. north korea has repeatedly launch missiles in quick succession, significantly increasing tensions north korea series of actions threatened to the peace and security of japan, the region and international community, and are absolutely unacceptable. but china's a foreign ministry says it has concerns about the developments on the korean peninsula, but it says its position has not changed. beijing is north korea's largest trading partner, long time ally for that sir. get more from katrina. you who's in beijing for us now . katrina, bring us up to speed of china's reaction to us. while they doing says it's mostly the situation very closely. it considers the korean peninsula, its own backyard as one of the few countries that has a good relationship with north korea and even has influence overcome yan. now when it came to this issue,

and south korea next week. and i think we're 3 sending a message that it is unhappy with that will spite fire fire, unless we've seen dozens of these launches over the past few years. but south korea, japan, and the us seem incapable of stopping these launches. so what happens when they get to the point where they say enough is enough? do we think they'll be some kind of military response? what can they do? i think it's extremely unlikely that you're going to see a significant military response from the u. s. south korea alliance and much less japan for missile launches at least if by that you mean some type of strike they would hit north korean territory. presumably, depending on what type of launch it is. if perhaps it's a full trajectory as opposed to law that you project re icbm launch. there might be the possibility that you can imagine the united states trying to, to hit it with an interceptor. but i think that's also extremely likely because outreach, fairly provocative. i, frankly, these launches just i

kim signed off on north korea 6 and lost no nuclear test. young jofunia that was quickly followed by pyongyang, claiming a new intercontinental ballistic missile. the while song 15 had been tested. you want to join the entire united states is within range of our nuclear weapons. and nuclear button is always on my desk. this is reality not a threat or i am. the exact size and strength of north korea's nuclear arsenal is unclear, but it is believed to possess up to 30 nuclear heads with state tv, promising more. shuns helen, the garden situation highlights the importance and necessity of mass production of tactical nuclear weapons and calls for an exponential increase of the country's nuclear oftener work with that one is lower than threats concerning washington and its allies. last week, the u. s. and japan held joint and drills all of this sparking fears of an asian arms race. no one quite sure what kim and his generals are planning next year. yeah, little younger than them did young will. josh smith is royce, a senior correspondence, and so

and south korea next week. and i think nor 3 is sending a message that it is unhappy with that, and it will fight fiber fire already to go to then getting paid. you can count on while this lunch still took some hours between order and addition. north korea continues to work on a solid fuel rocket that takes less time to prepare. what years of diplomacy sanctions and international censure have done little to slow its progress? hurry, full set al jazeera. well, still had, hey, all al jazeera find out why the ukraine wolf id was trying to relations continue to dominate the immunity security conference. ah, in a notorious waterside community, what kings and thugs will one theater director ventures to stage a play? there called me i tried to empower the winning data. that old man sitting right, did i and redefine best status in society? miss that nigerian women walk on water, witness on al jazeera, on a for a informed opinions for right extremely there is real and need to be tackled as soon as possible. frank assess

korea wanson jo fled to the north soon, the japanese occupied almost all the main cities of korea, and defeated by the invaders , the common people stood up. and the courage and bravery of the koreans who went out to fight the invaders in korea composed the elements of the song performed by the folklore ensemble, which opened the holiday after the singers , a military band and a platoon of marines appeared on the impromptu stage techniques with military weapons, then another folklore group performed on the stage, performing several numbers on a military-patriotic theme . the success of the military operations of the koreans on land was largely facilitated by the unprecedented success of military operations at sea. the secret of naval victories lay in the talent of the korean naval commander lissumsin already in the first battle. he command a small detachment of ships sank several dozen enemy ships, while, according to historians. only one sailor was wounded among the koreans, he became famous for not having suffered a single defeat, and in total there were 23 major naval battles in his

s. treaty allies, japan, south korea, the philippines. there are a number of other countries, particularly amongst us, the on who refused to be drawn into picking aside when it comes to competition with china. how do they react to this increased activity in the region? absolutely. speaking of states across se, asia, in particular, all those states are very interested in avoiding being drawn into this. you know, there's bilateral tension between washington and aging. they both balance, they both hedge stay close to one partner when it, when it is in their interests and the other, you know, other talk. they need to balance these 2 interests without getting too close to either or being smashed in the middle. certainly, se, asia has very recent memory of, you know, great power competition playing out in the backyard. and there's no appetite to be drawn into a 2nd round of that. but i think that is, that's going to be the nature of this region and that they will derive maximum benefit from, from each side to the extent they can add, while also

certainly the threats of nuclear use or north korea. these are in these are of interest on all states that are interested in holding a rules based warner. so in that sense, i would say it's further in cooperation that does extend back to the $198990.00 s both the soul and joe. now in terms of nato's recent designation of china. the systemic challenge. now that's, that's something different. that is something where nato is seeking to reinforce some of its service security partners against what they see as a regional threat. but also china is operating in europe increasingly so. so nato cannot afford to completely disassociate itself from what aging is doing militarily, economically and diplomatically. let's talk about the countries in the region, blake. aside from the u. s. treaty allies, japan, south korea, the philippines. there are a number of other countries, particularly amongst a r c on who refused to be drawn into picking aside when it comes to competition with china. how do they react to this increased activity in the region? abs

with japan and south korea after north korea launched the icbm on a test flight. of course it is in line with what has been building up over only the last few months again in terms of the u.s. wanting to increase cooperation or pledging to increase cooperation with japan and south korea would terribly. -- south korea militarily. at the same time the icbm launch played into the munich knitting between blinken and -- meeting between blinken and china because blinken said in so many words once again repeated the u.s. stance that china has influence over north korea and should use it to keep the tensions on that front down. this is after some very assertive language from pyongyang about the u.s. basically mocking the u.s.'s attempts or statements calling for some kind of talks and denuclearization which also showed on that front the tensions are certainly not getting less. haidi: a round up of all the geopolitical stories that have dominated this weekend. let's take a look at the market set up. we see the reality check weighing on risk appetite. let's bring in bloombe

how are living conditions within north korea? with these reports of food shortages compared to the situation or when we had a greater birmingham north korea in late to 99 cheese. it doesn't that look like north korea, our face is that kind of great been in yet. but as you mentioned earlier, the situation is very bad at the moment and it is going to be worse and worse. and it, except an international are happening age or opening the border again, north korea's with face more difficulties in the future. you talked about some of the reasons and all korea find itself in this situation. taught to what extent are the sanctions against beyond young old so to blame because we've heard of us officials say that the long term solution to north korea's chronic food insecurity was partly in a resolution of the nuclear issue which would potentially bring about significant economic sanctions. relief, do you share that view? oh, i don't believe that north korea would give up is nuclear program at all because that is the only bargaining power for

and south korea from doing military drills. us a soft grey would like to deter north korea from conducting additional missile tests. but that's not really what deterrence does. it's really just about try to prevent the others. so raising the costs to the other side of potential conflict or war. yes, diplomacy sanctions and international censure have done little to slow north korea's missile program. 100 funds are just the pendulum coverage of all stories. so we're covering here on our website out 0 dot com and that's it for me, nor obtain in the future. i'll be here in just a couple of minutes with more today here. thanks so much for watching. lou . a touchy money into african gold and exclusive l 0 investigation. coming soon. inspiring stories from around the world. it's coming up now. we're not the only one that's a human life capture. and it's a fast one. this feels like the presentation of what i want people to remember me by. groundbreaking food, from award winning filmmakers. witness on a jesse eda. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the wow. so no matt

on south korea over her thing, a nuclear war against north korea, i think that it would take unprecedentedly strong action. the joint drills focused on the detection, trucking and inception of ballistic missiles. us on south korea also launched for strategic cruise missiles. 2 countries have been in since 5 military jails for the past decade, leading to an escalation of tensions in the region. we are also conduct multiple test rockets launches over the years. let's go live now to don mclean guild, our rights of the south on south east asia, philippine middle east studies association. thanks very much for joining us this afternoon. dawn now certainly is strong words from north korea about those gels, but certainly nothing we've not seen or heard before. right, thank you so much for having me. and in fact, you know, north korea is interest in general. we summarize based on 2 factors. there is a national security component and the economic development component from john young's point of view the u. s. and it's alliance in the western pacific know serve as an existential threat to its existence

yeah, the key difference in 2023 is that north korea is no longerjust 2023 is that north korea is nost testing you missiles, it's actually designing missiles that clearly work and it's doing exercises to demonstrate their actual military, sorry, military drills basically, with missile capabilities so i think what we are going to see when the us— south korea exercises come up is a lot of tit—for—tat missile tests or north korean side and south korean military responses and there is a danger with this thatis and there is a danger with this that is the tempo increases, there is a risk something goes wrong, a miscalculation, an accident and that, i think, is accident and that, i think, is a big danger we should be anxious about moving ahead. that was chad 0'carroll working for the korea risk group speaking to us a bit earlier. now to the uk where a body has been found near the spot where a mother of two went missing three weeks ago. nicola bulley�*s disappearance last month has caused headlines around the world as the police revealed details of her private life more than two weeks into t
