to try to sanction north korea. this enables north korea to gather the financing to continue to build and finance these programs. the second thing more broadly, and i know some people don't like to hear this, is that we have to find a way to negotiate with north korea. the only time we've really gotten north korea to stop testing missiles or nuclear weapons is when the united states is in negotiations with them. when worry trying to engage them to stop them from continuing to build their programs. and we're in a protracted period of no negotiations with north korea. ing and it's not by coincidence that we're also seeing a high volume in testing during this period of no negotiations. so i think that's important. exercising, military exercising, military readiness, of course that's very important. for the united states and its allies. in the previous u.s. administration, the previous u.s. president committed not to exercising with our allies, japan and south korea in the region, which degraded military readiness as pa

powered carrier off the coast of north korea now. you have a new conservative government in south korea that is ending the sort of sunshine policy of the previous government. you have stronger rhetoric coming from japan. basically north korea is pushing back against all this. this is not its first missile test of the year, there have been a couple of dozen already. this is in the first test of this particular missile, hwasong—12, we think it is a missile that goes about 4000 kilometres, it's travel that far in this test. it's the first time they've done it in recent years over japan again. so they are 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

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

what's behind north? korea's latest miss. i'll tell you on the i have 6 rockets and 2 weeks including one that flew over japan. message is north korea ascending and how should the international community respond? this is inside story with hello there and welcome to the program. i'm laura kyle. north korea has dramatically increased the number of it's missile tests that's conducted 6 in just 12 days, including the 1st intermediate range ballistic missile test in 5 years. it landed in the sea of japan on tuesday. i know that large prompted japanese government to warn people to seek shelter. the us, japanese and south korean military is responded with live fire drills a day later. the pentagon reposition to that cropped car. busy off the korean peninsula, jonya and reacted by launching 2 more missiles on thursday and sending fighter jets nearest border with south korea in a phone cool japanese unsolved cream leaders condemns the military escalation. the pentagon says the latest task pose a serious threat to the region. stability

you saw very recently action by north korea. the more you leave them alone, the more they want to be appearing on the stage. now they've been throwing over 28 missiles, i think, last year and this year already a record breaking number. basically to attract attention and also having china as their, you know, backbone. they do not have to worry about sanctions because we talk about sanctions and north korea, but the fact of the matter is, 90% of trade is done with china. so you know, sanction by other countries aren't really going to hurt north korea. and having this big hegemony between the united states, china and japan clearly siding with the united states, especially in the days of mr. abe, is very, very clear that, you know, north koreans are virtually, you know, able to be the bad boy in the region, thanks to the backup of china. so these issues are starting to gradually sink in to many of the japanese and i think for that reason, there'll be a clear backup. that said, of course, there's an asthawmtion economic situation wil

but japan is a neighbor of north korea, well aware that there are systems in north korea that they can strike -- 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

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

what exactly is north korea trying to achieve? there are a range of opinions 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

seasoned north korea watches are somewhat divided on the issue. it might simply be an attention grabbing, don't forget about me as what's going on in ukraine with russia and china and other political issues. it could be that he genuinely fears north korea cannot defend itself against china, japan, russia, and other countries. there are some who think he is doing this to get american attention, to perhapaps broker a treaty with the south, and also perhaps to get american attention so that the united nations will relieve some of its sanctions and help the economy. that would be a big gamble on spending up to a quarter gdp on these missiles. ultimately, no one could quite be sure what kim jong-un remains something of an enigma. but when barack obama handed over the presidency to donald trump, he said north korea is the most urgent problem you will face, and kim revels being high on the agenda like that. mark: a put inset to finalize his plan to illegally annexed -- and next 4 ukrainian regions. ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy has hailed the a

well, as been mentioned, north korea is obviously a direct threat would. it's miss all testing and the even room is going around in the south tray and media that maybe they might conduct or not underground nuclear test and the next couple of weeks. and that would definitely focus the attention on the potential threat of north korea. but of course, china is the main hedge, a monic challenger. and of course, just very recently in august we had the taiwan straits crisis where the response to the visit by how speaking nancy pelosi, the chinese military was the largest scale military exercises around the world of taiwan. and it is a space in china itself, tested listing miss all some of which landed in the economic exclusion. joan of japan near the scene capital islands. so that is the biggest long term threat which japan is considering as well as russia in the white of the ukraine was the prime minister. kesha has strongly condemned russians, illegal invasion. and japan is actually given the 1000000000 dollars in age and funding financial support as well. as n

protecting north korea in her words. now she didn't name those 2 countries, but i can tell you it's obvious from speaking to diplomats. she was referring to, to permanent members of the security council, china and russia are that, do not want to pursue any more sanctions against at north korea. at this time, in fact, both of those countries were critical of the us. they were critical of south korea . they were critical of japan for recent military drills. they said that all of what was happening was not just the response, a response to all the fault of north korea. it was because of a confrontation and mistrust is going on between north korea and the united states . it's pretty clear, even though things are getting tensor and tensor on the korean peninsula, the security council on this issue. and, and it's also obviously on other issues with ukraine. but on this issue hopelessly divided. the white house has criticize the opec plus all produces decision. shoddy cut outputs, calling it a short sighted move that will hurt t

north korea has also fired _ north korea. north korea has also fired quite _ north korea. north korea has also fired quite a number of l also fired quite a number of missiles lately, why now? it has been a remarkable month in terms of north korean activity, we have seen them via a barrage of missiles, so they have also fired hundreds of shells of artillery into the sea, and it's coming at a time right now when the us and south korea are holding very large—scale military exercises in the waters around the korean peninsula and in the region and we know that these exercises antagonise the north korean leader, and he has said that all of his missiles are in response to this us and south korean activity but a backdrop to this is that negotiations between north korea and the united states about denuclearisation have been stalled for years, and the north has continued developing its weapons programme, so how the us and this new government here and south korea have chosen to deal with that is to build up their defence around the peninsular, so what you have at the moment is a si

have to try to der north korea from doing more of this? >> well, the missile test last night, which flew over japan, and caused many of citizens to seek shelter, was absolutely unacceptable. as another plication north korea has launched in a high-level missile test. it was over our close ally, japan. last night, secretary of state blinken spoke with his korean and japanese counterparts about this test and the way forward. it is very clear that the international community needs to speak with one voice here. we will seek a constellation in the security council, and with our allies and partners, bring more pressure to north korea so they stuff is provocative and dangerous behavior. michelle: what room do you have to maneuver, given that there are so many sanctions in place? mr. chollet: we will continue to press forward withanctions against north korea, enforcing those already on the books, enforcing new was, perhaps, and working with our allies and partners and other members of the security council, including the chinese, they step up and ma

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 a north korean missile is flown over japan. but cherokee has 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 heckle such reckless nuclear provocation. we would face a resolute response from our military, as well as our allies and the international community put on on hello thalia jr and pushing north korea's leader came john own has long been working on expanding the country's missile program and it's nuclear capabilities. last month, north korea declared itself in nuclear we
