off its east coast towards japan just days before planned nuclear negotiations with the united states south korea and japan say they detected the launch is about 7 30 am local time they came from one side and crashed into the sea of japan the launch comes just as north korea and the u.s. agree to resume talks in the future pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after man made on the trail don't go away. i'm going through this pile of real waste that i've been down here looking for the us that tugs on a property togs it gives a lot of indication and provide a clue also who owned it we used it be it in holland general denmark spain wherever it would help me get to the bottom of this dumping to get to. these types of public places universities hospitals and a lot more the 1st one. that i found was like ages ago they're very both even my luggage so i'll need to cut them sort of fitting. the idea is to take these things but to the preview as well as the original and these are the belong to people in the u.k. i wasn't clear. us to call these t

are certainly calculating that the talks will continue in the united states will not make a strong response and all the while south korea's been been showing off its latest purchases these f. 35 stealth fighters bought from the united states how is it possible for the u.s. to work constructively with both sides of the border. well i think the united states has a very long standing alliance with south korea our foremost obligation is to defend south korea against any north korean attack so it makes sense that we will continue to sell them equipment like that like this and i think that's very consistent with our alliance obligation and our negotiations with north korea are also consistent with the obligation in trying to reduce the threat to our ally in south korea. clearly in the region china has a huge influence on north korea you know given that north korea's fired at least 7 missiles into the sea of japan since july i think more that china could and should be doing all china has somewhat different interests from the united states its main interest is denuclearization but stability in its immediate neighborhood in the re

we have to remember is not everything the north koreans do is strategic or aimed at the united states or south koreaun states or south korea. a lot of it is internal as well. kimjong—un is obviously the most important individual, but he is managing a system in which there are competing interests. so perhaps this was something that he was doing to keep his military or hardliners happy while the people in his government who are more interested in dialogue we re who are more interested in dialogue were getting their way later this week. talks are supposed to resume on saturday, although we don't know the location. that is an interesting point on which to leave it. thank you very much for your insight. the democrats' impeachment investigation over president trump's phone call with the ukrainian president is gathering pace. on tuesday, the leaders of three us house of representative committees accused the secretary of state mike pompeo of intimidating witnesses. but the administration is pushing back. mr pompeo wrote in a tweet: "i'm concerned with aspects of the committee's request that can be understoo

so add to this picture north korea's intent to try and find ways to weaken wherever it can the ongoing relationship between the united states and southnge missiles pose a direct threat to japan and that is why i am not surprised that the japanese prime minister has taken note of them. so north korea is always looking for where there are openings of one sort or another that they will not pay a price for, and i suspect that is where we find ourselves now. it remains to see whether there is anything meaningful that can be realised through these renewed discussions. we don't even know where they will be held or who the participants will be but it is another thing that north korea is dangling to the united states without, in essence, north korea having to make any real concessions or moves back from its missile and nuclear programmes. briefly, i saw an analyst saying that we should understand that not everything north korea does is always tactical or strategic. sometimes it isjust them doing whatever the hell they want to do. there is something to that. we can overanalyse their behaviour but, again, on issues of missile testing they have

the goal here is for north korea to try to achieve some kind of a breakthrough with the united states and really not give a great deal of attention to their relations with southions with south korea north throuthapan who north korea continues to shine on a regular basis. thank you very much. -- continues to shun. let's get some of the day's other news. the government of mali says at least 25 soldiers have been killed and about 60 are missing in attacks by suspected jihadists on two military posts in the region of mopti. in response malian troops have begun a joint operation with forces from neighbouring burkina faso. legislators from zimbabwe's main opposition party have again refused to take part in the president's annual state of the nation speech. political tensions have been growing since last year's contested elections. the movement for democratic change has rejected an invitation for dialogue to help resolve the worst economic crisis in a decade — it didn't feature in president emmerson mnangagwa's address. vatican police have seized "documents and electronic devices" from departments within the vatican as they investigate suspected financial irregulari

japan south korea relations, this is also not a happy subject for discussion of the moment, it is well below the radar screen here in the united states which is a big mistake for our country and not paying more attention to it, i am almost without words to describe how distressed i am that these tensions between south korea and japan have ground to the point where they currently are, i believe that over the past period of time, that american passive itty on this point has been a mistake, i'm not saying that the united states should engage between public mediation, it would be a mistake and not underestimating how serious the issues between south korea and japan are, i've heard out about them on both sides and i understand their logic and their emotions, i think of the united states does not operate here, we face a very serious deterioration of alliance capabilities and precisely the wrong time, we see at this point the hope system of alliances that we've had the -- reassure, u.s. japan and india these are all signs of progress, so to see south korea and japan moving in the opposite direction from the u.s. point of view is extraordina

been lamenting plans to make the south korea army mall or in circumstances which are quite puzzling and he has been undermining south korea's alliance with the united stateshere is one country one country that has pledged to the events of south korea and it is the country the rush to south korea's defense after the north koreans crossed the 38th parallel on june 205th 1950 and it's the one country that has 28500 horses in south korea now and it is the united states of america. most people in south korea support the alliance. this was made clear by an institute council on foreign relations which was released in january and it doesn't matter what most people what south korea think and they don't count politically in the new south korea. what matters is what one person thanks that person moon is president. he has allowed the senior officials to mischaracterize the american alliance to inflame opinion and has made it difficult for the united states to maintain its battery of the terminal high altitude area defense system and going behind the back of his only ally he came to the agreement with the chinese foreign minister late in october 2017 with the infamous

protection and deterrence should we be unsuccessful in getting north korea to change their mind is have a policy by which united states, japan and south korea are aligned when it comes to foreign policy priorities. and we are not aligned with japan today. the two leaders may have a close personal relationship, but our inability to bring japan into the trade negotiations that we're having with china make those negotiations harder and leave japan on the sideline and are unwilling to coordinate with anybody when it comes to north korea diplomacy has left japan often surprised and ultimately in the long run, makes containment, which may end up being our policy -- it, frankly, is our policy today and has been -- >> for 20 years. >> -- has been for 20 years and may officially be our policy a decade from now. containment is made much harder if you're not showing up every day trying to keep japan, the united states and south korea together. something this administration has not done as it sought to get this bilateral deal with very little help from other partners. >> this makes a perfect segue into the first question from the audience, which

south korea relations. this is also not a happy subject for discussion. it is well below the radar screen here in the united states.. it's a big mistake for our country and not paying more attention to it. i am almost that went out words to describe how distressed i am that these tensions between south korea and japan have grown to the point where they currently are. i believe that over the past period of time, that american past 70 on this., has been a mistake. i'm not staying that the united states should engage in a public mediation, between the two countries. i thank in fact the public participation would be a mistake. and not underestimating how serious the issues between south koreat and japan are. i have heard at length from both sides. i thank i understand well both their logic and their emotions. but i thank if the united states does not operate here, we face a very serious deterioration of alliance capabilities at precisely the wrong time. we see at this., that the hub and spoke system of alliances, that they had in the asia-pacific region, is in need of modification towards a richer and deeper cluster o

korea and iran. and then, finally, and this applies specifically to the circumstances on the korean peninsula, for about a year and a half, the united states and south korea have not had what some called "wargames" -- we have not had large-scale military training exercises. now, i'll leave it to the pentagon to describe exactly what we have been doing, but i think you're all familiar with what i'm talking about. it is inevitable that when exercises are not taking place, readiness can come into question. and a failure to be militarily prepared results in a weakening of structures of deterrence. now, i'm not going to make any assertions here today about the level of american and south korean readiness on the peninsula, but someday, whether from the department of defense or from congressional investigation, we are going to hear judgments on what military readiness is. and i think that this is something that should be a priority, both for americans and for south koreans. now, there are other issues here that i don't think are currently adequately addressed in the public debate. not only should we be concerned with north korea's own weapons technology, b

state will be considered illegal . north korea has fired one missile from its east coast towards japan just hours after saying it would resume nuclear talks with the united states on saturday south korea and japan say they detected the launch from one side and seoul says it's possible it was launched from a submarine which would be a 1st such launch in 3 years. has been a year since german jamal khashoggi entered saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul to obtain documents for his upcoming marriage in never came out investigations by turkish officials indicate that because shoji was killed and dismembered by a saudi hit squad the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sandman says he takes responsibility but denies ordering the killing peru's vice president has resigned 24 hours after congress nominated missy these other years as interim president president martine vince carter's decision to dissolve congress on monday provoked protests in the capital leave and opposition accusations of being a dictator are yells says she hopes her decision will lead to fresh elections coming up next here at al-jazeera the stream. well i think one of our biggest strengths that we talk to normal everyday pe

south korea's kids who are great but this is the. right so when the president says that he cares about long range missiles shot from north korea that can hit the united states but doesn't care about short range or medium range missiles look at it south korea japan and if you're a south korean or japanese. you know a government official who is relying on the american security guarantee that will make you worried now what happens if there's an actual attack who knows who you're always in the realm of who knows but do you look at the signaling up to that but you know jim's point is why we don't live in george washington's world he was a great man but it was 240 some years ago and there were european. empires and he didn't want to get there so you just. sort of montaigne's says george washington's a little dated a little a little dated the powered way a particularly one of the great question i want to deal with i want to tell you that iran and north korea with allies on our side or without the noise that only those countries don't have a bit of help he was getting is something that a lot it's a level but meet the discussion and i want to tip my hat to it becaus

united states. it hurts south korea and japan as well. >> it does nothing but hurt our allies who have been opposing to russia. because something caught my attention and all of our attentions over the weekend with revelations that the president apparently in conversations with former prime minister of britain teresa may displayed some skepticism that russians were behind the poisoning of sergei skripal, the former russian spy. to that the russian ministry in the united kingdom tweeted that story and wrote, this is the best evidence that no evidence of russian involvement exists. this seems to once again benefit vladimir putin. by the way, today's his birthday, we should note. >> well, it certainly does. i mean, here's president trump not taking the word of the united kingdom, our closest ally, that the russians launched this nerve agent attack inside the united kingdom. but it's tantamount to what president trump has done here in the united states. he hasn't taken it seriously that russia hacked into the democratic national committee. the president is following this story which is false that somehow

mountain effort to convince north korea or, the created a system of protection and deterrents to be unsuccessful is to have a policy by which the united states and japan and south korea are aligned when it comes to foreign policy priorities. we are not aligned with japan, and leaders may have our inability to bring japan to the trade negotiations that we are having with japan making those harder and our unwillingness to gordie with anybody has left japan often surprised and often, in the long run, makes containments which may end up as our policy. it will likely be our policy, of containment has been made harder if we dart some of everyday. something this has done to get this bilateral deal with very little help from other partners. >> this makes a segue to the other question which, is about the north korean talks and they are talking about what is the prospect for u.s. north and denuclearization talks to resume and what kind of progress to think it's possible? >> i think kim has gotten a lot from this relationship thus far. an almost complete pass on the treatment of his own people and the protections of cyber warfare on the u.s. shores by its focus on photo u

we saw in the case of south korea and the united states supported the high altitude area defense fund, the missile defense, very effective antimissile systems, the chinese punished south korea to the tune of three to $4 billion by causing problems for them. this is a sign that they do not like these missile defenses. they have so many types of missiles let's start with the fact in mongolia, asia, australia lets mitigate the threat. >> host: where does india fit into the strategy and also going back to the issue of russia where my pressure fit in? i asked that question because are you concerned about a closer alliance that is emerging? something that's happening and others say that it will not happen. >> guest: the relationship is growing. india is kind of like the united states and that they've had a debate about the concerns so they wake up to the threat and have a border dispute and they are concerned. when i talk to the indian officials here it is the main security threat for china, for india. as for growing closer together we have seen in the past few weeks some joint military exe

part of the world which has alarmed washington because these 2 important allies of the united states japan and south korea have suspended an intelligence sharing agreement that was meant to counter the threat from north korea so there does seem to be a push in the business world but also in diplomatic and political circles in tokyo seoul and washington to have this resolved. now the 1st black leader of south africa's largest opposition party has resigned musina mani's said they had been internal conflicts in the democratic alliance as he made the announcement he added that he'd struggled to attract black voters to the historically white liberal party is the 2nd senior black politician to quit in a week. left on monday the way the da and the race relations over the past few months it's become more and more kids to me that there does exist a few with them that would look the eye to eye with. their own share the vision for the party in the direction it was 3. they've been several months of consistent and a coordinated attack. on me and my leadership to ensure that this project. vote counting is underway in b

it's just making the world a safer and happier place in august the united states once again conducted military drills in south korea rehearsing for an all out war against the north but they say it's nothing provocative about it simply a measure of security north korea didn't see it that way into korean concerns will be difficult unless the put an end to military exercise will give a plausible explanation in a sincere manner that is worth mentioning these drills were scaled down a bit compared to the ones done in the past we are working very hard to make sure that it is not perceived as provocative to go as far as to modify even the name of the exercise and to modify the scenario to take out all the offensive characteristics it's all about perception if we do it it's understandable for security purposes think of the i.c.c. . b.m. is a jolly little kite bringing joy but if they view it it's a provocation putting the entire region into danger yes it's one sided attitudes like that that are sure to bring peace on earth they fired off an i.c.b.m. missile. you know like 4200 miles to the marshall islands this wasn't a sm

. >>> north korea reportedly testing underwater missiles before they resume nuclear talks with the united states. during an emergency national security council meeting today in south korea, military officials said north korea fired the ballistic missile from the sea. they did not specify if it was fired from a submarine, a barge or some other possible platform. japan immediately launched a protest against north korea confirming the missile landed within its exclusive economic zone. japan's defense minister said these kinds of tests without warning our , quote, an extremely problematic and dangerous act. north korea in the u.s. are expected to resume nuclear negotiations this coming weekend . >>> secretary of state mike pompeo confirmed he was on a call between president trump and the president of ukraine. this comes as house democrats are clashing with members of the trump administration as they move ahead with their impeachment inquiry. doug luzader is in washington where the state department inspector general has asked for an urgent briefing this morning with congressional staffers. >> reporter: this appearance by the state department inspector general today is

we saw in the case of south korea, seven the united states deployed the theater high-altitude area defense, a very effective antimissile system. the chinese punish south korea to the tune of three to $4 billion causing problems for them. this is the sign that china it's not and doesn't like his missile defense because they are military is so this'll oriented but they have so many different types of missiles. so let's start deploying this missile throughout the world. in mongolia, in india, and southeast asia, and australia, and all of these places and let's really this will china mitigate the china missile threat. where does india fit into the strategy given india so objectives in the region and also, going back to the issue of russia say, just a little bit more about where russia might fit in. are you concerned about a closer chinese russia alliance that is emerging. some experts think that that is happening in other experts after that and say that is not happening. and what happened. person india, the interrelationship with united states is growing. india is kind of like united states in
