To continue the sanctions campaign that angers kim jong uns government but so far has failed to stop its missile and nuclear tests. Yourself korea and the United States along with the International Community have no other choice but to continue applying strong pressure and sanctions the south korean government says those sanctions are designed to force north korea to negotiations there has been no communication between the two countries since last year the u. S. And its allies have often said that denuclearization is a precondition for talks but it seems increasingly likely that if north korea comes to the table it will insist on doing so as a Nuclear State cathy know that aljazeera seoul Mark Fitzpatrick is the executive director of the International Institute for strategic studies americas joins me live now from washington d. C. Thanks very much for speaking to us how would you describe this lady here how would you describe this latest Missile Launch by north korea have we reached or are we reaching a critical point in the development of the Nuclear Program its an evolution in the capabilities of north korea this missile flew eight hundred kilometers higher than the other one it was in the air seven minutes longer so its a more capable missile but i think some people are exaggerating its capabilities it cannot hit anywhere in the world i dont think it can even hit anywhere in the United States that doesnt matter north korea just needs to be able to hold one major city in the United States at risk and seattle is within the range of this missile whats interesting here is that north korea is now saying that it has reached its goal this signals that maybe no further tests are needed in its judgment and if so thats a good thing because weve been worried the next evolution might be a nuclear test in the pacific that would be very very provocative but would you rule that scenario out. I dont rule it out i dont rule it out at all but its im just pointing out that if youre looking for some small Silver Lining here and im not sure anybody is but the fact that north korea said that it had met its goal may indicate that it thinks that it has completed its missile testing theres one other interesting thing here there have been three i. C. B. M. Tests all of them have worked thats rather extraordinary most of the time they dont work the first few times so north korea has a well developed system here at my institute we think they probably got it got the engine from somewhere else right so i know this is the First Successful test of an i. C. B. M. Following two launches and in july youre saying that that in itself is quite significant you surprise then the speed at which the engine is north korea has been able to reach this point yes its very surprising that that all three tests have performed. Well thats very abnormal in an i. C. B. M. Development you know if youre if youre developing new systems theyre not going to work perfectly the first time so this is why we. Think that the engines came from somewhere else and if north korea is now satisfied that it has a system that meets its needs maybe they want to do other provocative launches you know they had said that they might envelope guam in a series of missile tests and they havent done that and lets hope that the they wont but you know depending on how the world responds there could be an escalation and the crucial question now is how the u. S. Might respond does this in a launch propel or extinguish the prospects for diplomacy. Well i wrote a piece published this morning that it has extinguished diplomacy for the time being not that diplomacy was going anywhere the North Koreans showed no interest donald trump had told the secretary of state Rex Tillerson you know its what you know and forget about the diplomacy tillerson were still trying but wasnt getting support from the president you know that this would have been a period when diplomacy had some prospects because during the autumn and winter when there are no joint us south Korean Military exercises that always are something that north korea treats as a provocation and there is always an escalation this would have been a period for diplomacy but this missile tests blows that prospect out of the water im afraid. Mark fitzpatrick executive director of the double i double s. Americas thank you very much quite happy to talk to aljazeera thank you. U. S.

The largest Muslim Civil Rights Group in the United States is condemning the video shared by the president on wednesday morning calling them islamophobia and also inciting violence against muslims still many well finding this outrageous are not surprised by the material that has been retreated by the president given the fact that he on the campaign trail called for a complete and total ban on muslims entering the United States as well as president in the early days of his administration putting in place a travel ban targeting travelers from muslim majority countries its been challenged in the courts many people arguing that this in essence is a ban on most of them something that the white house has repeatedly denied certainly the white house still no Public Statement with regard to these latest videos however not surprising given the fact that the president has had these positions and even as recently as one month ago blaming an uptick on crime in the United Kingdom on what he called the spread of radical islamic terror the statement certainly inflammatory but also reflective of what many in the United States believe and helped donald trump become President Trumps tweets have provoked a strong reaction online t.

The people of myanmar were finally able to get a good look at pope francis this time more than a quick way out of a window. His popemobile is built so he can be seen unlike his convoy of vehicles that have been travelling through the streets of yangon since monday on the sprawling grass fields of the checkers and grounds in the city center. The pontiff held a mass for an estimated one hundred fifty thousand catholic faithful. I know that many in me in my bad the winds of violence. Visible and invisible the temptation is to respond to these injuries with the worldly wisdom like that of the king in the First Reading is deeply flawed we think that healing can come from anger and revenge yet the way of revenge is not the way of jesus the preachings of the pope were directed at the decades of ethnic wars and violence here. In his large public mass or the pope again did not specifically mention the right hinge up but his statements about acceptance and identity has prompted some of the think about the crisis.
