but japan is a neighbor of north korea, well aware that there are systems in north korea that they cane -- that can strike japan. and the nuclear posture that the north koreans have announced makes it clear that if nonnuclear powers are associated in the nuclear power in any action against the dprk, then they can become targets as well. of course it is a reason for particular concern for japan. laura: and how much of a concern is it for the u.s.? is this kim jong-un testing biden? mark: the united states is certainly concerned with the growing modernization and expansion of north korea's nuclear program. a nuclear weapon surely could fit in the nosecone of the missile that was just launched. the fact that the trajectory of the missile launch was more normal than the previous test that went up and then down. north korea is refining its ability to hit u.s. spaces. the united states is firm and its defense of japan and south korea, but aware that north korea is trying to say that if there is a conflict on the korean peninsula, north korea would try to ward the u.s. off by saying it could

north macedonia has been reaching out to china as well.o europe that if they don't speed up the process of embracing you, you will look to china as an alternative? two days ago, here was the president of the european commission, madame von der leyen. and besides signing the frontex agreement, first agreement with a clear macedonian language between north macedonia and 27 member states of the european union, we agreed on additional issues. first, the european union will provide e80 million, as ofjanuary, budget support for fighting and tackling the energy crisis. number two, for the western balkans, the european union will provide half a billion euros for energy transition and for the green deal. so it means new power plants, new infrastructure in terms of gas supplies through ports in friendly countries. and this is something which is showing that the european union is very much focused on this region. right, but you haven't answered my question. and you talk about you talk about hundreds of millions of euros. i'm telling you that in serbi

my understanding of talking with the north korean defector was, this had a real impact in north korea. and if it's one way that we can do something that's not at all lethal, but could, you know, make the other side listen physically and metaphorically. absolutely. well they could hardly not listen so good. they okay, what do you think of that idea? is it a viable one? is it something that the south korean government that is that free entertainment you know what i actually, i view that you know, let the, those good low. uh, we'll see. creation is really important. but i mean, while i'm that i don't think that the, the, the broadcast b, m these, you know, i mean, well, as we, as you see in the premium we're, i mean the, the loaner service can impact, you know, or can. so what i think that, i mean, if we provide the pre internet and, you know, i like the ways that they can connect to. maybe i mean that we're putting down the, you know, the tape to learn as to how, what is the state of life for people inside at north korea. and yet it came to need to class success of a cove it 2 months ag

north korea has fired a ballistic missile. it flew over our country and we believe it fell in the pacific ocean. it's another barbaric act after a series of ballistic missile launches and we strongly condemned this is the 7th time in north korean miss. alice 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 called it dangerous and reckless. and south korea vowed a tough response. i don't need all moran heck. well, such reckless nuclear propagation would face a resolute response from our military as well as our allies and the international community on, on hello. thalia junior high pushing north korea's 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

my understanding of talking with the north korean defector once is this had a real impact in north korea. and if it's one way that we can do something that's not all lethal, but could, you know, make the other side listen physically and metaphorically. absolutely. well they could hardly not listen so good. they are you ok? what do you think of that idea? is it a viable one? is it something that the south korean government that is that for entertaining you know, what i actually the idea that, you know, let the, those going to be per wo we'll see creation is really important. i mean, i'm that i don't think that the, the, the broadcast will be m these, you know, i mean, well, as we, as you see in the premium we're, i mean, the even known as service. can you fact, you know, or so what i think that, i mean if we provide the free income and you know what, like crazy like that. they can connect to maybe, i mean, that were, you know, bring down these, you know, dictates as to how, what is the state of life for people inside north korea? oh, yeah, it, it came to no need declared success over cove

north carolina. rep.udd: i been very clear to denounce violence in all its forms, whether it's just around the corner here in raleigh and rights or whether it's in washington, d.c.. i believe that we need justice everywhere. we need to protect the second amendment while keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous individuals. one thing i did was support the national criminal background check service and i voted to fund more to upgrade the database so we know who the dangerous folks are, including those that are mentally adjudicated and we keep them out of their hands. judge beasley: i certainly agree with the bipartisan legislation that was passed on gun safety. it's a great start, and we do have to do more. centers and law enforcement supported this legislation and congressman budd voted against it. he also voted against funding them and did he think the heroes at the capitol who were injured and killed by the smile that he called patriots, were those law enforcement heroes and did they also deserve p

basically north korea is pushing back against all this. missile test of the year, there has been a couple of dozen already. this isn't the first test of this particular missile, we think it's a hwasong—12, a missile that goes about 4,000km, it's travelled that far in this test. but it's the first time they've done it in recent years over japan again. so they're making a statement, they don't need to test this missile again, they are using it to send a signal to its neighbours and the united states. but does this, in fact, has this year of missile launches taken north korea any closer to that irreversible nuclear state it clearly wants to be? oh, it is a nuclear state. they have the capability right now to hit the united states with hydrogen bonds, quite large weapons that could detonate and destroy american cities. they haven't tested the long—range icbm as much as a normal state would want to, they haven't done a complete end—to—end test. i think this irbm, intermediate range ballistic missile test that we just saw today, is a prelude to

north korean. so that makes it clear that if no new positive associated with a new camera in any action against the b r k, then they can become targets as well. so of course it's a reason for particular concern for absolutely, and how much of a concern mark is it for the us? is this kim jong and testing by them? well, the united states is certainly concerned with the growing modernization and expansion of north korea's nuclear program. nuclear weapon surely could hit in the could surely put fit in the nose cone of the missile that was just launched. and the fact that this, the trajectory of the missile launch was more normal than the, than the previous test that went up and then then down. north korea is refining its ability to hit spaces. and the united states is firm in its defense of japan and south korea. but aware that north korea is trying to say that if there is a conflict on the korean peninsula that north korea would try to war in the us off by saying that it could hit any us cities or bas

reporter: already facing the toughest sanctions, the north seems undeterred, with the north korea later declaring last month that his country is now officially a nuclear armed power. and testing longer-range missiles seems to send a message to the world. >> one way to read these tests is that they are a demand for attention. north korea does not like being undisturbed as the failed korea. reporter: this launch comes as allies wrap up maybe drills led by the ronald reagan, the first exercise by an american aircraft carrier to korean waters in five years. and with warnings from south korea that the north could student conduct its first nuclear test since 2017. laura: north korea has fired several missiles this year. they include ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missiles. tuesday's launch was the most significant. it flew more than 4500 kilometers before falling into the pacific ocean. another major launch was in january when north korea fired a missile that is capable of reaching guam. here is how the u.s. state depapartment responded. >> we condemn this dangerous and reckless launch of a

north korean missile launchers.day is different and it does raise the tensions here. the majority of the launchers we've seen this year have been short—range launchers. even the ones with the longer range, north korea wanted to land on the sea between south korea and japan. this is the first one that has actually flown overjapan in five years, people injapan this morning woke to a message from the government telling them to take shelter, to look out for falling them to take shelter, to look out forfalling debris. it's worth noting the missile did fly 1000 kilometres into the s surpassed japan, it was flying above the international space station but even though still, it is a significant escalation in the last time they did this back in 2017, it came during a period where tension between north korea and the united states and south korea was particularly high.— states and south korea was particularly high. how would ou particularly high. how would you characterise _ particularly high. how would you characterise the -

what i know, though, is that i am asking north carolina's to elect me as a next senator here in northarolina. and yes, president biden has been to north carolina, these have all been official visits. we are glad when he comes here to visit. we want him to hear about the challenges here, and to meet wonderful people who are here. it is wrong to align me with anybody unless i specifically say what my positions are and i'm glad to talk about my positions because my positions really do support people here in north carolina. and as i have spoken with folks all across this state they want to know that the next senator is going to fight hard to lower costs, that she will keep us safe, and that she will stand for what is right and call out what is wrong and lead courageously, and that is exactly what i, doing. moderator: if president biden calls tonight and said he wants to comment campaign for you this week, would that be ok? >> we want him to know and to meet folks and hear from folks here in the state. moderator: would you want to be with him for that visit? >> if it is an official visit,

what exactly is north korea trying to achieve? among analysts among north korean leadership bonding from all of this missile action. on the one hand, some people believe that it is a kind of performance of strength, they are hoping it will be a deterrent from people who may be inclined to intervene in north korean affairs. 0n the other hand, some people think it's a form of attention seeking, but with an aim, perhaps with the hope of bringing the united states or other countries to the negotiating table. don't forget, north korea would perhaps like a peace treaty with south korea. it would like the us withdraw from the region and perhaps in the more short—term, they would like to have some negotiations where they could get un sanctions he used. north korean economy is to put it frankly and a dire state and they would very much like the opportunity to get back on their feet. this may be a way to wave their hands in the air and a way to wave their hands in the airand hope a way to wave their hands in the air and hope that someone co

u.s., china, what is going on in north korea.he trouble is i think increasingly either markets are having a higher cash yield or they are not pricing in the pressure. the other is we have opposing actions on the pricing action. i think yields are driven by the fed. whereas there is a sector to drive it back down. it becomes intermittently and getting grounded out at times. these are some of the challenges in the distilled market pricing. such as geopolitics. haidi: we are hearing from the prime minister speaking in tokyo, condemning the north korean missile launch and repeated north korea missile attacks. we continue to watch this, south korea confirming the mid range ballistic missile was fired from north korea and it flew fast and passed the japanese sky. we see the council meeting schedule for 8:30 a.m. in japan. take a look at the risks for asian more -- asia more broadly. there is a big? about what happens with china as it comes out of the congress. the strength of the u.s. dollar, how much damage has there been in terms of

let's bring you the latest on this, the north korean - on this, the north korean launch of a ballisticicited a robust response, as promised, from the us and south korea. both countries have fired missiles of their own off the japanese coast. seoul said four short range weapons were used in the exercise, in a demonstration designed to deter further provocations from pyongyang. washington and seoul also carried out a precision air bombing exercise. the missile itself was the fifth in the last few days, following military exercises involving the us, south korea and japan. it travelled about a,500 kilometres before falling into the pacific ocean. it's believed to have been the longest distance ever travelled for a north korean test flight. let's go live to chicago and speak to karl freedhoff, korea expert at the chicago council on global affairs. thank you forjoining us. i don't know who is putting out a stronger message here but what did you make, first of all, of the decision by north korea to send a missile directly over japan. send a missile directly over ja an. ,, send a missile direc

this is the 7th time a north korean miss. alice flown over japan. betcha 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 called it dangerous and reckless. and south korea vowed a tough response. i had only little more hon heck, ball such reckless nuclear propagation would face a resolute response from our military, as well as our allies and the international community. her hello. thalia junior high pushing north korea's leader kim john own has long been working on expanding the countries miss all program. and it's nuclear capabilities. last month, north korea declared itself in nuclear weapons state, ruling out any possibility of de nuclear as ation. 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 m

it was north korea's first missile launch overjapan since 2017. the us ambassador to the united nations has accused china and russia of enabling north korea. the dprk has enjoyed blanket protection from two members of this council. these two members have gone out of their way to justify the dprk's repeated provocations and block every attempt to update the sanctions regime. in short, two permanent members of the security council have enabled kim jong—un. japan's ambassador to the un condemned what he described as a clear escalation from north korea. they pose a grave and imminent threat to the peace and security of not only japan, but also the region and beyond. in short, they challenge the very authority of this council. mr president, among these launches, the latest one was especially significant. it flew over the japan and impacted in the pacific ocean for the first time since 2017. i assume we can all imagine how terrifying it must be to see a missile flying overhead. this is absolutely unacceptable, and japan condemns it in the strongest poss

north korea now lé six so, north korea now launched a six missile in less than two weeks, what do youey are up to? weeks, what do you think they are up to?— are up to? it's a pretty rigourous _ are up to? it's a pretty rigourous testing - are up to? it's a pretty - rigourous testing regimen, not clear to me if it is connected to any particular event, the us mid—term elections are coming up, the vice president was in the region, i'm not sure that is why this is happening, the north koreans don't tell us often so it is hard to regulate, the larger issue is negotiations with the nuclear programme has broken down, it has been a while since that happened with president trump, and north korea is leaning into the nuclear weapons as the core of their military strength so they need to do a regular regimen of testing and i think thatis regimen of testing and i think that is what this is, that's why we have seen so much testing this year, that's where the core strength of the north korean military is now. the? korean military is now. they described — korean military is now. they described this _

we are learning from the south korean military that north| south korean military that north korea firedles and that is according to yonhap the south korean service. early we had reported the coastguard as well as yonhap had appeared to seen. .net they may have seen earlier one this week but what is interesting about this is that they are shooting this torts depend ——japan. it is the they are shooting this torts depend —— japan. it is the first since 2017. let's turn to somalia now, where aid agencies and local officials are warning of a looming catastrophe, with hundreds of thousands of people in the country threatened by starvation after the worst drought in forty years. somalia is in the horn of africa, and has a long history of droughts. but a succession of them, turbo—charged by climate change, has driven many people from their homes. those that remain are cut off from potential help by a long—running islamist insurgency. al—shabab militants —— who control parts of the country seen here in black —— restrict the delivery of aid. and it's in these areas where more than half of the peo

that this is sort of fairly typical north korean behavior. and so far, they just don't really care about the sovereignty of the states around them. you may recall that it was launched a missile past that went south or in the missile broke up near the philippines and they just don't care that much. and this is of course, you know, one of the problems that we have in north korea is that they just don't follow the rules very much. and this was, i think, a really good example of that. yeah, that's an interesting point. you make robert because this is the 5th time, but in north korean missile has flown directly over japan with the japanese government even warning its people to take cover. but different. despite that strong condemnation, japan seems pretty palace to do anything about these launches. yeah, and i think we all are, which is to say south korean, the united states as well. it's not really clear to me what we can do to stop these things. there was some obvious magic bullet or some really clear solution. we would have tried it already. i'

a new observation post has been opened for visitors to peer into the north. a new attractions like this cable car offers rides into previously restricted areas. once you've signed an agreement to stick by the rules, a ride to spend time in the middle of the mind fields on a tense border, that current developments seem to ensure will keep up the tension levels. rob mcbride al jazeera on the demilitarized zone, the u. k. as prime minister as promising to steer britain through what she called its stormy days, las trus was speaking of the annual meeting of her conservative party. it's been a bumpy 1st month in office for truss who's been forced to roll back part of her bunch of plans after turmoil in the financial markets. let her man her where we were. when i entered downing street average energy bills were predicted to saw above 6000 pounds a year. we faced the highest tax burden the our country had had for 70 years. and we were told that we could do nothing about it. i didn't think sad that thing had to be that way. i knew that inaction would be unconscionable

south korean drills have per vote north korea, but the u. s. embassy to, to the you had did reject those remarks and said that there was no equivalency between these 2 artifices. early at north korea also accused washington on this allies of threats in it with the military buildup. international journalist, eric summers blaze, the north korea seas. it's miss all programs as a necessary deterrent i should say on behalf of china, because i'm a permanent resident of german. ah, the chinese position all along has been that there should be no nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula. china is a close to further nuclear proliferation and so is russia. indifference is they understand why north korea is resorting to this extreme measure because it's a cray united states has had military forces stationed in south korea adjacent right to north korea since the korean war. and just before the recent missile test is conducted, yet another large scale on military operation or military exercise alongside the south korean army. so it's not hard to imagine th
