Ninan good evening. Im reena ninan. This is our western edition. We begin with breaking news from north korea. A u. S. Military federal confirms north korea attempted to launch a missile off its east coast sunday morning local time, but the missile blew up almost immediately.

They are believed to be the same missiles successfully tested in february, that use solid fuel and are hard to detect before launch. And south koreas military believes these large missiles at the end of the parade are a new type of Intercontinental Ballistic Missile the north did not previously possess. In a speech at the parade, a highranking north korean official accused the Trump Administration of threatening north korea and said if attacked, they will respond with allout war, including nuclear weapons. That confidence is shared by many here in pyongyang. When you see all of the military troops and all of the weapons go by, what does that mean to you .

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson scheduled the executions to take place before the States Supply of midazolam, one of its lethal injection drugs, expires in two weeks. I dont want to go back to these victims family and say, well, were worried about how this looks or the speed of this, so were not going to be able to carry out the will of the jury and the courts and the sentencing. Reporter the inmates filed legal challenges to the timetable and the states use of midazolam, which has been used in botched executions in other states. Robert dunham is the executive director of the Death Penalty information center. The use of midazolam exposes the prisoners to unnecessarily painful death, and its for that reason that the court entered a preliminary injunction stopping the executions. Reporter judge Christine Baker has blocked the execution, saying the tight timetable could be unconstitutional. The state attorney general has vowed to appeal that decision. Reena, if the courts allow arkansas to execute all of these men by the end of the month, it would be a record.
