rob mcbride is in kabul and has more on the situation in pension valley. >> a standoff and the clashese been continuing. the taliban and its units ready much have the whole of this valley surrounded. they also are saying they are putting pressure on this pocket by pressuring various strategic points around the valley. for their part, the resistance force inside the valley say they have been putting up a fierce defense claiming to have killed and entered scores of taliban fighters. the fighting continues. especially with the breakdown of talks. talks have been ongoing for days , trying to find some peaceful resolution. some way for the resistance to surrender. resistance has given way throughout afghanistan. this remains the only pocket of armed resistance to the taliban. according to the taliban, they have been holding talks with the leader of the resistance. they say the reason for these talks breaking down were completely irrational demands. they say that for example, they have demanded as part of any peaceful resolution of this, the force be allowed to hold onto all of their weapons

technically still, it was rob mcbride has more from song it is potentially quite important given that it is of course, kimmie. jung, who tends to be the more critical uncompromising voice of the north korean government in dealings with south korea and also the united states. and this is in response to the call from boone j and the president of south korea at the un general assembly, who is desperate to try to restart negotiations with the north calling for a formal end to the korean war, which you said would be a pivotal moment for the whole of the korean peninsula. now he has made this call before and initially it was greeted by north korea with some dismissive nest to the us now, and it's speeding up its expulsions of haitian asylum sake is from its southern border with mexico. washington special envoy to haiti resigned on thursday for what he calls the inhumane treatment of haitian migrants. daniel food said the policy of de porting at thousands of refugees is counterproductive and deeply flawed. the un secretary general has warned the secretary security council rather that climate

let's go over to our correspondent, rob mcbride, who's in cobble, and rob. the pension valley obviously is the focus of attention and it has been certainly for a few weeks. but with the talks, you might say having failed. what next? yeah, it does remain a very dangerous position at all around the punch. the taliban have completely surrounded the valley. and there have been various attempts in recent days of mediation and trying to get some kind of the co ca surrender of the resistance movement within that valley. because of course, the other parts of the province. enough guy this that did surrender without a bite, it's the hope that that will also be the case with the pan share. but i talk have been ongoing and they have the most recently collapse. now, as these tools have collapsed, the taliban have been telling people in the past year to urge its government to respect and, and to acknowledge the lubbock amarillo. and the fact that they, that this is a faded, completed, is done that they should lay down their arms. but they're also the televisions. those ha

both countries are developing increasingly sophisticated weapon systems as rob mcbride explains now from sol. this highly provocative missile test was carried out while china's foreign minister, one year within, sold for tools with his south korean counterparts with north korea high on their agenda. but of course, we all want to contribute to the peace and stability of the korean peninsula. for example, not only in north korea, but also the countries are conduct the military actions. so we should have all parties make joint efforts to region dialogues. this was wangs last stop of a foreign nation tour of east asia, as china looks to counter the increasing influence of the us in the region and north korea risks angering beijing. with this latest launch, south career is hoping china will use this configurable influence over north korea to bring it back to the negotiating table with each missile lodge, but seems less likely and shows even china is control over its neighbors, isn't limited. north korea has also claimed to have tested a new type of long range cruise missile over the weekend.

let's go live out through rob mcbride, who joins us from fall. rob, what more do we know about this missile test? well, the south korean and us intelligence officials are still analyzing data from the launch. but it happened early tuesday that happened from an inland location. the last time north korea long, short range missiles from inland transpired that was nearly 2 weeks ago. it turned out that it was actually from a train, which is the 1st time they use such a launch technique. so clearly the north is still busy developing new types of missile technology, but they're still trying to analyze exactly what type of miss all this was. and whether it was in fact, a ballistic missile, which would, of course be in contravention of un resolutions. but it landed in the sea separating the korean peninsula from japan. japanese authorities say that they suspect it was ballistic in nature, from the timing is very interesting. just a few days ago, qindzhong and fist to hell about the prospect of an into korean summit. right. so, so does that make the timing

still facing opposition and armed resistance in the province of pension, just north of cobble, rob mcbride has more on the efforts to end the fighting. this is a stand off, has now intensified but talk have been ongoing now for some time days they've been trying to, to trying to seek a peaceful resolution of this after the resistance basically delay down their arms to recognize that the new government that this is a fait accompli and there's nothing to resist against that but, but the latest talk have broken down and the according to the taliban, it was because of the demands being made by. 2 by the red resistance fighters, this resistance both being completely irrational. they have been told with on the suit he's the leader at this resistance movement, resistance of force that according to the taliban, they were seeking things like retaining, being allowed to retain their own weapons and arms. which isn't that outlandish to me after it's done is full of groups with their own weapons in the space that in the provinces. but they apparently, according to taliban, were also demanding a 3rd or

for more nissan caught cross live to rob mcbride, who's on the ground in cobble, rob, what will, can you tell us about why the discussions between the 2 groups failed? that's what i mean. they stand off and the clashes have been continuing the taliban at its units. pretty much have hold of this valley eye surrounded. they are also saying that they are putting pressure on the pockets, by pressuring various strategic points around the valley for their part, the resistance force inside the valley, say they have been putting up a fierce defense claiming to have killed and injured scores of taliban fighters. but the fighting continues and especially with the breakdown of talk now talks have been ongoing for days now and trying to find some peaceful resolution of some sort of way for the resistance to surrender as resistance has given way throughout. throughout afghanistan, this remains basically the only pocket of armed resistance now to the taliban. but according to the taliban, they've been holding towards with the lead on the, sued the leader of the resistance. and they say that the re

let's bring in rob mcbride lab for us in. so hello there. rob. how significant is this statement from the system? it is potentially quite important given that it is of course, kim jong, who tends to be the more critical uncompromising voice of the north korean government. and it was in response to this interesting call from noon j and the president of south korea to have a formal peace declaration to formally bring the hostilities to an end mood j. and of course, has been pushing, tried to restart the negotiations with the north sea, only has a number of months left in office and with daily like to see that happen. so he made this call at the you un, it was originally treated with good rather dismissively by north korea, early friday, a vice foreign minister saying that it was up to the us to drop it's hostile attitude before they could ever talk about any formal peace agreements that was followed up by kim jong, who again expressed a certain skepticism, talking about south korean double dealings. but also interestingly, holding open the possibil

young, the bite and ministrations pushed to engage with north korea as so far been unsuccessful and rob mcbride joins us live now from the south during capital. rob, so what more do we know about this latest project? charlotte, north korea is supposed to fire well, the south korean military, just as we came on air is just to confirm that it was actually to, to an identified ballistic missile. so they have confirmed that these were ballistic missiles that were fired from an inland location in north korea out into the sea separating the korean peninsula from japan. the launch was also confirmed by the japanese coast guard. so this is a hugely provocative act coming at the very sensitive time. obviously during the visit of one d, china as foreign minister visiting with his south korean counterpart here in sole with the south koreans wanting to once more enlist the help of china in trying to restart negotiations that have been stalled now for many months. so the tech comes to that a very a bit, is a provocative act. it to also risks angering china, because obviously this is a very important mission

and now rob mcbride, who is covering the story from sol today, anything out of the chinese yet rob way into the weekend here. so we're not likely to get very much in the way of official government reaction. although one foreign ministry spokes person, as i li john, has left a simple message on one of the social media accounts saying welcome home. it's been left very much up to state controlled media in china to set the tone and it is one that is quite problem phyllis, this is being portrayed as a big win for j. china and also the chinese government the global times. for example, that is the english language mouthpiece. fairly nationalistic in tone has welcomed the release, but still very critical of canada's role in all less accusing it of doing the, the bidding of the united states illegally detaining bang. and also saying that these fraud accusations from the us were completely baseless, but also quoting experts saying that may be from this of the us and china can move on and reset relations. china still regards all of this is being completely politically motivated, that this is all
