and south korea? >> well, jake, this is about as close as you can get to the meaning of the wort tit for tat. after eight missiles were fired by north korea sunday morning local time, less than 24 hours later, south korea and the u.s. had fired eight surface to surface missiles. all of these missiles were fired off the east coast of the korean peninsula. they went into the waters of the east coast. what was interesting about what north korea had done on the weekend, which the japan defense minstercalled unprecedented was the fact it was a large number of missiles from multiple sites. the south koreans believe there were four different locations they had fired these missiles from. within 40 minutes. so this clearly why the u.s. and south korea felt that they needed to have what they would call a show of force, sending a message to north korea. the joint chiefs of staff here in seoul said that message is that no matter how many locations pyongyang fires these missiles from, the u.s. and south korea have

i'll 0 rob mcbride reports now from near the narrow space center of south korea, south coast. mm. with this launch, south korea has joined an exclusive international club, one of only a handful of nations, able to put satellites into all bit commercially. the 3 stage rocket called newry meaning world was carrying a one and a half ton test satellite up to 700 kilometers above the surface of the earth. a 1st attempt last october failed when the rockets 3rd stage malfunctioned that added to the anticipation of this launch, bringing large crowds to the beaches, facing south careers, narrow space center. they weren't disappointed. the engineers believed they fix the problems and that this time yury will become the 1st home grown south korean rocket to put a satellite in orbit. eat or did all them and they're good. then i, i came here for the 1st launch and it was a disappointment. when it failed, so this time i'm hoping for success till once upon at the moment of ignition, i said, wow. then the roar of the rocket made me so proud are the only fighting a call. i feel like we've joined t

in south korea, the number of dogs and cats which are lost or abandoned is also increasing. the vet bills are not standardised in south korea, and some owners are simply not willing to pay the high bills when their dogs or cats become really sick. some of them just choose to abandon them on the street. so we wish to build up a world without lost or abandoned animals. some kennel clubs already used dog nose prints as a form of id, but petnow hopes its app will become mandatory in south korea to help reduce the number of dogs that are abandoned by pet owners when a big vet's bill arrives. to do that they will need the backing of government, and a huge marketing push so that everybody, including people who don't own a dog, knows about the app and how to use it. that was chris, always good at sniffing out a story. i did ask her not to do that. um, let's go, shall we? thank you very much for watching, we will see you soon. bye—bye. hello. a new month starts with very similar weather. after tuesday's big cloud, showers and thunderstorms, umbrellas at the ready for wednesday. the

south korea's strategy, which of course has changed, given south korea's new leadership. >> reporter: paula, certainly what we are seeing from this new south korean president, he has said himself, he wants to have a stronger response to missile launches, to weapons tests, and he wants to be more firm in that response. of course, it is difficult to see exactly what kind of response there will be, as he goes forward, because when you bear in mind kim jong-un is very much in the midst of a testing cycle, he has shown absolutely no interest in negotiations, or engaging in any shape or form with the u.s., or with south korea, even though both have reached out recently, also, with the covid outbreak saying they could help with pandemic materials. at this point, it is difficult to see what that strong response will be from the south korean side, but they have certainly said, physically, that would happen. we heard from the defense minister on sunday, this was in singapore, the defense ministers meeting at the shangri-la dialogue. he said that south korea will boost its defense capabilities

and south korea officially met on the sidelines, they discussed another threat, north korea. how does that tie in there? >> stability in asian is connected to how these three democracies function together. there are military alliances between the u.s. and japan and between u.s. and south korea. a simplify strong connection between the two asian nations doesn't exist. this alliance triangle creates a powerful detour against china. naturally, beijing don't like to see this. north korea denounced the three nations with state-run media calling their media a dangerous prelude. >> they met separately with each of the leaders but there was no summit between japan and south korea. so what does that say about how stable is alliance triangle is? >> that really underscores that political relations between two nations remain chilly. to tension to thaw ties is growing. he is looking forward to working to address tensions after japan's upcoming election. he understands that for now, they can't risk losing the support of party hardliners. the real test will be if the two leaders can overcom

well, south korea has a whole range of goals that it hopes to accomplish. with this program, everything from potentially 6 g networks to launching its own satellite navigation systems. similar to keep yet as well as even potentially placing a lunar probe on the moon at some point. at the same time, there are also some military elements to launch a constellation of spy satellites, better keep an eye on, on its neighbor in north korea. for now it's pretty much on almost entirely reliant on the united states for that kind of information. and it hopes to become much more independent. there's also of course, a major commercial element to this. it helps to give a lot of the technology to his private sector and potentially launch things for other clients and expand some of the courts that way. briefly, if you could, and how important is this for south korea to join the circle of space very countries. it definitely sees itself as a major global player. and this is a big step is quick to note that it's one of 7 countries now that have this kind of homegrown technolo

and south korea navies. and certainly there is a concern about the intensity of the firing from north korea at the moment. this means it is the 17th missile launch this year alone. so certainly there is some intense testing. now, it has been widely condemned in the region. japan's prime minister saying that it is against united nations security council resolutions and has strongly protested it. they also say from the defense ministry in japan they believe this is unprecedented, the fact there was such a large number of missile launches from a number of different locations in such a short span of time. so obviously we're watching this very closely. it shows once again that north korea is far more concerned with testing its weapons systems at this point, and trying to push forward its capabilities than having any kind of engagement with either south korea or with the united states. now, the previous time that it had a launch was may 25th, that, of course, was hours after the is us president joe biden had left

and south korea. now i'll read you part of a statement from the joint chiefs of staff here in south korea rick they use the official name for south korea, rok, the republic of cree ark. the firing of rok-u.s. combined surface zo surface missiles demonstrated that even if north korea provokes with missiles from multiple locations the rok-u.s. has the ability and readiness to immediately strike with precision in regards to the origin and while the support services are maintaining a constant monitoring posture. we heard from japan's defense ministry it a they believe it was unprecedented. the sheer number of missiles from four different locations all fired within about 40 minutes of each other, so that was really something that concerned japan. it concerned south korea as well and so this kind of show of force is really just to show pyongyang that they are able to strike back if they wanted to. now, of course, whether this makes any difference to kim jong-un it's probably unlikely. he is very much it aus
