S. Mainland a new song fifteen Intercontinental Ballistic Missile for the two and an altitude of up to four and a half thousand kilometers and traveled nine hundred sixty kilometers spending nearly an hour in the air at that height the missile traveled more than ten times higher than the International Space station which four hundred eight kilometers above us. Several weapons experts say the missiles locked into trajectory suggest an actual range of thirteen thousand kilometers which is enough to reach washington d. C. And any other part of the continental United States it also means europe which is seven thousand six hundred fifty nine kilometers away from north korea is reachable by missile gavino back reports from south Koreas Capital seoul. Its being celebrated as a priceless victory in north korea state media says the country has completed its rocket System Development with the successful test launch of a new long range missile and youve got to kind of get the i.

B. M.

S. President who has threatened fire in fury in the past this response or we can you know we will take care of it we have general matters in the room with us and weve had a long discussion about it. It is a situation that we will handle it went higher frankly than any previous thought they paid for research and Development Effort on their part to continue building Ballistic Missile that could threaten. Everywhere in the world basically south korea says it detected the test in advance of the launch at around three a. M. Local time and immediately responded with joint army navy and air force drills launching three missiles that simultaneously hit a simulated target the intended message to north korea the south could take out the launch site if necessary President Trump spoke with the leaders of south korea and japan. Japan will resolutely enhance its pressure on north korea to the maximum level we will continue to protect the lives and livelihood of the people of japan on to the strong japan u. S. Alliance president monday and told trump that north koreas technology has apparently improved agreeing to continue the sanctions campaign that anger is 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 StateKathy Novak Al Jazeera sole mike hanna joins us from the u. N. Headquarters in new york so mike were starting to come in what what can we expect from this meeting. Well were waiting for the session of the Security Council to get under way initially there had to be in shared jeweled a report back from the Security Council sanctions committee this they have to carry out every ninety days the head of that committee was due to brief the Security Council on how effectively sanctions already in place are being imposed but following the latest Missile Launch by north korea the u. S. Japan and south korea called for an emergency session to discuss the issue that is what is going to be happening in a short while once the members of the Security Council sit down and begin discussing the issue we heard from some people on their way into the Security Council chamber from the italian ambassador whos the chair of the sanctions committee saying that obviously sanctions will be discussed the possibility of further sanctions cannot be ruled out but importantly discussion will be held on how sanctions already in place can be most effectively imposed we also heard from the french ambassador who said that the latest Missile Launch moves the threat of north korea from the regional to the global chilling words which are likely to be repeated in the Security Council session which should be beginning shortly and mike president trumbo has already suggested that there would be more sanctions on on the way as a result of this latest test what kind of sanctions does he have in mind. Yes indeed its very difficult to see how this is going to play out whether the u. S. Is going to unilaterally impose sanctions as it has done in the past or whether it is going to try and get sanctions new sanctions through the United Nations which it has always done in the past also done in the past using the Security Council but there are so many sanctions in place already there is one set of sanctions that are not in place which some have been advocating for and that is a restriction on oil and gas imports from north korea which could severely cripple the economy of that particular country now whether these sanctions come up for discussion well wait and see but certainly china has been reluctant to agree to such extreme sanctions china being a permanent member of the u. N. Security council so well have to see how it plays out but we have been here before thered be numerous Missile Launches numerous emergency sessions at the United NationsSecurity Council what is likely intense discussion perhaps a resolution condemning the latest launch but what you may then see is the major powers sitting down talking once again about how to create a new set of sanctions that there is complete unity on there cannot be a split in the Security Council on those they will be looking for some kind of united position mike hanna thank you very much jim walsh is a Senior Research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of technologys Security Studies program hes one of a handful of americans who have traveled to both iran and north korea for talks with officials about Nuclear Issues he says there are limited opportunities when gage met with pyongyang. We had two months of no test two glorious months notice and so if something was going to happen that would have been the time but once you start having tests and sanctions and doesnt sanctions and then the u. S. And south korea have watched your military exercises the North Koreans dont want to talk to us during that period so there are only brief chances you have to try to advance in gauge meant and not simply pressure and you want to be able to talk to north korea because you dont want them to make a mistake that will get us all killed so. You have to seize those opportunities when theyre there even though mostly it looks like they were going to test all they get what they want and then go to the table but i say you know keep talking to him thats the best way to prevent an accidental war for my egyptian Prime Minister ahmed shafik has told aljazeera the United Arab Emirates have blocked him from leaving the country comes after he announced his intention to run in next years president ial elections in egypt the u. A. E. Denies the allegation that he could run in egypts first president ial poll after the twenty five not prizing because for many to Hosni Mubarak the narrative he lost to Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood and then fled ever seen. My fellow egyptian citizens i have announced my intention to run in the president ial election and i was planning to start a tour amongst egyptian communities abroad before going back to egypt in the next few days however i was surprised to find out im prevented from leaving the u. A. E. For reasons i dont understand and im not willing to understand ive often stated my appreciation for the u. A. E. For hosting me however i reject any intervention in egypts affairs by preventing me from participating in a constitutional vite. Before entering politics which i had a long military career as a Fighter Pilot he then rose to become commander of the air force between one hundred ninety six and two thousand and two after retiring from there foresee entered government as minister for Civil Aviation and was briefly Prime Minister under Hosni Mubarak in twenty eleven it came close to winning the presidency in two thousand and twelve losing to morsi in the second round runoff vote by just fifty one point seven to forty eight point three percent he disputed the result before going into exile so nash is an associate professor of middle east politics at the university of oklahoma he says the u. A. E. And saudi arabia are not interested in seeing challenges to presidencies rule. The United Arab Emirates along with saudi arabia are among the staunchest supporters of the current Egyptian Government and president sisi and so they have an interest in president sisi continuing day certainly supported his rise to power and theres been some reporting that they actually supported the movement to oust morsi as well so they are in favor of sisi staying in power and not interested in seeing any potential challengers and egypts new regime is also not interested in seeing potential challengers in next years election its not clear that the Egyptian Government or presidency is behind this move i mean we know that authoritarian regimes cooperate with one another and this isnt certainly the first case of that weve seen dissidents gyptian dissidents in kuwait and in saudi arabia rounded up and sent back to egypt and weve seen the opposite and so on so its not clear that sisi is responsible for this well presidency is to some extent vulnerable certainly there is a security crisis in egypt as we saw with the devastating terrorist attack last week in sinai that killed three hundred five people the economy is not doing very well or at least many many people are suffering and as a result of high inflation the flotation of the pound and so on so there are economic grievances and mr shafiq of course came in second in the two thousand and twelve elections against mr morsi who won those elections and he clearly has political aspirations and weve known that for some time lebanons Prime Minister said harry has signaled he may withdraw his resignation next week he said matters were positive and if that continued he would consider rescinding his decision to step down as Prime Minister of lebanon harry announced his resignation lot in saudi arabia near november but then put it on hold last week at the request of president.

But as a vision im thinking i would do the same it would be hard to serve time in prison while some are mocking you these are the final verdicts to be handed down by the International Criminal court for the former yugoslavia the six defendants had their appeals rejected theyve been sentenced to a collective one hundred and eleven years in jail the court was set up in one thousand nine hundred three at the height of the balkans war to prosecute europes worst atrocities since World War Two but its made aljazeera still to come tweeting himself into trouble again it has gone too far this time.
