Detected an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile launcher from north korea well president and is calling the launch a serious threat to world peace japan says the rocket was fired on the state trajectory from pyongyang and reached an altitude of four thousand kilometers before landing with an its watches tokyo requested an emergency meeting of the Un Security Council which has been shadowed for three p. M. On wednesday u. S. Defense secretary james mattis said the launch was the highest yet and shows that the north poses a worldwide threat nato says pyongyang is undermining regional and interNational Security while the e. U. Called it a grave a provocation. Lets go to our correspondent in that were going to go to our correspondent rosalind jordan in washington d. C. In a moment but first lets go to kathy novak shes joining us live from seoul what do we know about the launch so far kathy. Well this launch have been in the middle of the night here it was about quarter past three south korea time when south korea detected this Missile Launch which we understand now based on the trajectory and the numbers that are coming out it is said to be an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile the third time but north korea has launched an i. C. B. M. This year south korea responded quickly in just over five minutes the south Korean Armed Forces launched live fire drills involving the army the navy and the air force the armed forces launched three messiah was that hit a simulated target simultaneously the message there from south korea to north korea is that it is watching what is happening in the north detects these Missile Launches immediately and while the missile was still in the air is launching these drills of its own which is a simulation of the kind of retaliation that could happen if these missiles were to threaten any territory of this particular one as you mention landed in japanese waters what we see when these missiles are tested is a loft a trajectory where you mentioned the highest altitude yet south korean joint chiefs of staff put the altitude at about four and a half thousand kilometers and what analysts at the union of concerned Scientists Say is if you can extrapolate the range of the i. C. B. M. If it were launched at a normal trajectory and that could put theoretically the entire u. S. Mainland within the range of this particular miss ellen we know that north koreas ultimate goal is to develop an i. C. B. M. That can be armed with a Nuclear Weapon that can hit the u. S. Mainland a little bit concerned from many different parties about this kathy weve just heard from the japanese Prime Minister what have they been saying. Well. Has been speaking on the phone with the president as we mentioned the Japanese Defense minister said this. Was at the highest level yet heres a little bit more from the Prime Minister shinzo. Your thoughts on that front of me japans government fully evaluated the missiles movement and talk the strongest possible Emergency Response we will not tolerate north koreas reckless action that is trampled on the strong will of the International Society to resolve the problem we have large a strong protest against north korea japan calls for an emergency meeting of the Un Security Council i believe the International Community needs to be united and to fully implement sanctions against north korea japan will not back down in the face of provocation but maximize pressure on north korea by remaining fully alert and with a Strong Alliance with the u. S. As a base we will protect the lives on her many of the japanese people. Now were told that in that phone call between u. S. President donald trump and the Prime Minister shinzo of it there that the u. S. And japan agreed to boost their deterrence capability also agreed that china must do more when it comes to north korea the president in here has of course condemned of the launch saying that it threatens to escalate tensions here on the Korean Peninsula also threatens the peace and safety of the International Community and what president moon went on to say was that what he is most concerned about is a miscalculation and a situation where the United States might feel forced to take a preemptive strike against north korea because of course the fears here in south korea would be if Something Like that were to occur that north koreas first move would be in turn to attack this city seoul Elizabeth Kathy thank you very much for that for now thats kathy novak with all the very latest joining us from seoul lets go to our correspondent in washington d. C. Now rosalynn jordan as live for us so weve heard from the japanese Prime Minister and the south korean president what has u. S. President donald trump been saying wrong. Goes with the president s remarks were very brief but to the point the missile was launched. Well go through i will tell you take care of it. Generally most of them with us and that will discussion of it it is a situation that we. Are so much more certain that he has been if we can say that in the past on the north korean issue rolls what can the this u. S. Administration actually do now though given the recent actions theyve taken just last week designating north korea a state sponsor of terrorism saying that they will impose the highest level of sanctions against them. Well i dont know that its actually correct to say the highest level of sanctions its certainly been an egg ever expanding amount and nature of sanctions against the north korean regime in fact along with that designation of north korea as a state sponsor of terror it also means that the u. S. Has sanctioned a chinese person and several of his businesses as well as about ten or so north korean flag ships for their involvement in allegedly propping up north koreas efforts to build not just Nuclear Warheads but develop a Ballistic Missile program so its noteworthy that this is happening about a week or so after the trumpet ministration made these designations but there are some analysts suggesting to al jazeera that this may have as much to do with north koreas internal calendar trying to assess its viability of its Ballistic Missile program on a technological basis rather than in direct response to anything that the United States or other countries might do in retaliation for north koreas continued Missile Launches and development of Nuclear Warheads that said the u. S. Has been in close consultation with its allies there will be an emergency u. N. Security Council Meeting in new york on wednesday technically slated right now for twenty one thirty g. M. T. Ross thank you very much for that thats roslyn jordan joining us with a sense from washington d. C. Thank you. On the missile is the latest in a series of tests the syrian by north korea but the first in more than two months and september pyongyang test fired a nuclear bomb in an underground facility that followed two Intercontinental Ballistic Missile launches in july after which the north said it had the Rocket Technology required to carry and Nuclear Warhead its growing capability and refusal to end weapons tests have led to major regional and to. Global security concerns and to calls for increased u. N. Sanctions on north korea well lets get more on all of this now were joined by jim walsh an expert in interNational Security and Research Associate at the Massachusetts Institute of technologys Security Studies program and hes joining us live from boston mr walsh always a pleasure to have you with us on aljazeera lets start with the test itself the distance traveled appear to be significantly greater than than the last two i. C. B. M. s it flew for longer does it show that the north is making progress significant progress in its Missile Program well the short answer is yes influence flew longer you know we dont know what the payload was it was a curious something you have a was a caring nothing at all that would impact our calculations somewhat then you know were an early hours theres still some data to be collected but yes theyre Getting Better at it theyre not quite there yet but with every test theyre Getting Better and at a pace that is faster than people anticipated so the general trend line is definitely born in one direction and thats one of better and greater capability and what do you make of the timing of the latest test a week after the u. S. Designated north korea a state sponsor of terrorism and promised more sanctions can you say if you know is it related to that new designation or as our correspondent was saying that this might have just as much to do with you know north koreas own diary when it comes to its Missile Program. Yeah i mean number one we dont know we dont know what is in the minds of the north korean leadership but id be inclined to agree with ross and say this test was coming one way or another. Sanctions or no sanctions that doesnt mean it was a good idea to put north korea on the state sponsors of terrorism list whether you know that was a good policy decision i think is a separate question but my own view my own guess is the North Koreans have this Testing Program and they each year they sort of slow it down in the Fourth Quarter and then it begins to resume many analysts were predicting that we would have some time over the next thirty days so in some ways this is really not a surprise was do you think that sort of quiet period after a period of heightened activity and regular tests the north did not carry out any test since mid september as we mentioned and as you said while that may have been because its a generally quieter period you know somewhat higher than the poles would create the conditions for negotiations to his dream and yet the trumpet ministration took that moment to designate the country a state sponsor of terrorism was it a wasted opportunity missed. Well again i have to say yes i think it was a wasted opportunity the reality is we only get a chance here in a chance there they tend to be rare why is that the case because either the u. S. And south korea are carrying on large scale military training exercises in the North Koreans refused to talk to us then or theyre carrying out missile or Nuclear Tests and we refuse to talk to them and we go back and forth so these these brief periods of awol where theres a chance to try to put this on a on a different track are rare and need to be taken advantage of and unfortunately i think at least for twenty seventeen that that opportunity has passed ok so even if its past for this yeah what stu you think the u. S. The International Communitys options on now. You know weve been through this a several times normally the North Koreans test you know twenty times a year roughly speaking not only not you know not i. C. B. M. s but yes so i think we have a pretty good established routine here there will be a u. N. Security Council Meeting the japanese of already called board they will negotiate for a couple of months or so and then pass a new round of sanctions that expands the category of things that are being sanctioned or people being sanctioned and in the meantime the North Koreans will probably carry out i am not suggesting a submarine launched Ballistic Missile test and you know well do the dance all over again. Mr walsh im afraid that is all the time we have today but we thank you as always for your time on this jim walsh joining us live from boston thank you. But im to move on to other news now and the man accused of masterminding the two thousand and twelve benghazi attack has been acquitted on the most serious charges against him. Was captured by American Forces in two thousand and fourteen and brought to the u. S. To face trial for the attack on the u. S. Diplomatic compound in the libyan city that to the deaths of u. S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other americans but in a blow to prosecutors to tell it was found not guilty of federal murder charges Shihab Rattansi has moved from washington d. C. Cattell i was clear fourteen of the eighteen counts against him but he was found guilty of four counts two counts of conspiracy to provide Material Support or resources to terrorists one count of maliciously destroying and injuring dwellings and property and placing lives in jeopardy and one count of using and carrying a semiautomatic weapon during a crime of violence but acquitted of the federal murder charges the prosecutors have constantly said he was a ringleader of the attack on the compound in benghazi the state department and cia compounds in benghazi his defense and said he was a bystander attracted by the noise perhaps he was there after the attacks are taking place that was a point the prosecutors had to concede not only that the defense lawyers pointed out that one of the key witnesses against him had been paid seven Million Dollars to testify against him in addition they raised questions about the nature of his interrogation held at sea for two weeks without a lawyer and in the end now he faces several decades in prison if he is now sentenced to the maximum charges on all of these counts. Now the u. N. Security council has held an emergency session on Human Trafficking in libya evidence has emerged of hundreds of people being option that fell as little as four hundred dollars mike hanna reports from new york. A small crowd of africa next gather outside the Libyan Embassy and protest against the practice of modern day slavery why do we were. Not here disputes that libya is now a failed state but many argue that those who were affected the overthrow of the gadhafi government six years ago must share responsibility for the consequences of the political vacuum that was created among them the abuse of migrants and refugees who fled their native lands. Just up the road the Security Council discusses what is to be done. Fronts calls for a strong expression of condemnation from the Security Council the horrific images emerging in recent weeks its a shocking they underscore the urgency of improving our Global Policy to tackle this scourge and put an end to this human tragedy. The uns refugee chief proposes immediate measures but says funds as well as words must be deployed strengthening refugee protection and Offering Solutions along the routes. Including in chad and me share is key but dramatic funding gaps persist especially in Subsaharan Africa some ninety percent of refugees and migrants attempting to get to europe pass through libya and its the most vulnerable who are the prey. They sell africans over there in libya they sell men even fifteen year old libyans are there in a car theyre armed the coming kidnap you and the so youve heard seventy to one hundred fifty dollars and then others will resell you their goods. As soon as you arrive in libya the first thing that happens is that you are taken away and sold under discussion in the Security Council the possibility of sanctions against individuals and entities and applying the full range of International Law including the use of the International Criminal court but the session ends without a resolution it could be weeks even months before the u. N. Security Council Agrees on concrete measures to stop the slavery but those suffering in africa and their contacts in new york my adamant even today. Mike hanna aljazeera new york.

The migrant situation in libya is very miserable these Illegal Migrants they flee war poverty and unemployment in their own countries and the paid people are smugglers to get through the Libyan Desert to the libyan coast and then the sea of europe through that tough journey in the desert migrants face extortion violence and sometimes rape sometimes many of them get old or die out of starving in the desert now authorities here in libya have recently opened an investigation into the allegations of Illegal Migrants in an auction in this i was of the country now they are Illegal Migrants they take advantage of power vacuum and financial collapse in the country especially on the. Borders libya has a spacious opened and monitored borders that was a. Journey and now when Illegal Migrants get into libya they get.

K. Has spoken in the wake of the meeting to say that the saudis understand the urgency of delivering humanitarian aid but at the same time they also want to have security from the kind of missiles that we saw fired from the hutu rebels that said there is a recognition of the great urgency although resolving the situation will be dictated by events on the ground and that includes the delivery of humanitarian aid as well as preventing any further rocket attacks.
