north korea stun. so there are certainly multiple reasons why north korea would test missiles including domestic messaging as well as basically just developing the military technology that is once at the same time there is undeniably geopolitical method. beyond that, the timing of the latest missiles, for example, came right after south korea and the united states held the 1st joint, naval brill involving an american aircraft carrier in a number of years. and so it's hard to see that as entirely a coincidence at the same time, north korea has been battling what it says, it's 1st cobit outbreak, and something that's interesting that's happened during that time, is that they stop publicizing or releasing any photos of their missile tests so we're basically solely dependent on what a countries like south korea and japan report. so unlike some of their other tests earlier this year, these latest tests, we don't know a lot of details. we don't know exactly what they fired. although they do appear to be shor

similar moves from north korea. many see it as representing a hardening of cyril's approach to pyongyang. ah, a fiery early morning display that took all of 10 minutes it's effects were meant to extend well into the future. the launches of 7 south korean missiles and one american missile in a live fire exercise, a tit for tat reply to north korea's launching of 8 missiles a day. earlier. the response came as south korea and its hawkish new president mark's memorial day commemorations. you and suck, you'll saying more than ever. global powers must work to contain north korea balcony. why? north korea's nuclear missile threats are getting sophisticated. 8 fired various ballistic missiles. yesterday it's programs a reaching the level that threatened not only the peace of the korean peninsula, but also northeast asia and the world's view. fannin sure. now you will, you send me that the world has almost grown accustomed to seeing this type of weapons demonstration from north korea. indeed, in 2022 alone, north korea has

the president been president trump across the demilitarized zone and was hugging the leader of north korea on the border. so it was a very different context. so i think what we're dealing with now and any of the information that was out there with regard to the north koreans ability in terms of cyber just wasn't, wasn't public knowledge. okay. well, we know that it must be a very tenuous weight for you. they're and something that, at a tough time that last 4 months. indeed, chris, thanks very much for coming in the program and sharing your experience with us. chris m u k said it's an encrypted expert facing extradition, a potential extradition to the united states. thanks a lot. thanks, chris. the china has lashed out. it's asked the us after washington describe asians expanding influence in the pacific region of the threat . it follows the security part between china, the solomon islands, having recently been agreed upon in the us. new zealand joined statement typing, the relevant issue has altieri motives and creates this information to attack and discredit china. the united states has m

now these are they a small kinds of warheads that we know north korea has been trying to develop that has been speculation that it is preparing for another underground nuclear test. they are also the kind of a smaller warheads that are carried by short range missiles and rockets that north korea has been actively testing. especially since the beginning of this year with 18 rounds of tests of such weapons. so far more important perhaps than what was said was how they said it and why. now interestingly, with news of this meeting, they released a series of pictures, one of them showing intriguingly a map of the east coast of the korean peninsula with the details blurred out for security reasons. but the very fact that they would show this in such a secretive state is interesting. it is unusual. and also the fact that they referred specifically to frontline units. these are the kinds of units directed at specifically at south korea. so this does seem to be a deliberately aimed to deliberately time to pressure tactic aimed at the administration at south korea, which is conservative. it has
