Well over one south korea says pyongyang has launched 2 Ballistic Missiles off its east coast the 2nd such test and test in less than a week the missiles were fired from the town of one some apparently flew 250 kilometers south koreas foreign minister said such tests dont help in easing tensions on the Korean Peninsula japan is also reacted saying it is working closely with its allies over the situation in the region more with rob mcbride in Seoul South Korea now hi rob classic understatement there from the South Koreans that this doesnt help in easing tensions what are the reactions theyve been. Thats right the National Security council of south korea is actually meeting at the moment command to discuss this still gathering data from these 2 flights the 2 flight paths they do seem to be similar to the launch of 2 short range Ballistic Missiles last week that drills still trying to determine if they are the same type of last weeks missiles really seem to be far more sophisticated than previous Missile Launches having a Guidance System theyre still trying to establish if these are the same model or type of missile but this is now the 3rd such Missile Launch that weve had since may all of which of course is in complete contravention of a pact that was signed with joining soling relations between north and south korea that pact was signed last september among high hopes that we are moving toward some sort of reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula so it is being treated with concern here in south korea as you mentioned that south korea says it does doesnt help the it is not conducive to easing tensions a slightly more robust response from south koreas for defense minister saying that if these provocations and threats continue then you would have to consider north korean regime and its military as an enemy now we havent heard such tough talk like that for for quite some time and improving relations and as you mentioned also a condemnation from the japanese japans defense minister saying that this would is deeply regrettable and that if it is indeed found that these missiles are ballistic in nature then we are seeing possibly a further breaking of u. N. Resolution than what is north korea up to here rob you know you talked about the pact that have been signed with the south you have the United States still trying to say that so much progress has been made with north korea and then it does basically the exact opposite. It is i think frustration on the north korean part we have had after again expectations were raised during the unexpected meeting and the d. M. Z. Between donald trump and kim jong un we should have been having by now working level discussions between the 2 sides they havent started yet so this is just i think putting further pressure from north korea it may seem as though its crazy that they are jeopardizing things but as with everything from north koreas there is always a careful calculation behind this they have launched missiles that the u. S. President donald trump can say well theyre not like the intercontinental Ballistic Missiles that they have been launching things are still on track and the north koreans do see in donald trump their best chance of getting an easing of sanctions given his impulsive nature of being able to override overrule some of its more hawkish advisors so this is i think just a further way of reminding him that they are still very much on the radar and trying to get him back to the negotiating table and i hope that brian but the latest from seoul thank you all tension on the Korean Peninsula likely to be discussed at a meeting of Foreign Ministers of Southeast Asian countries are they gathering in thailands capital bangkok for the assy on meeting well also be joined by u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o. Plus is chinese and russian counterparts the region facing many challenges including the dispute over the South China Sea and the ongoing us china trade war scott hide the reporting now. As thailand hosts the Foreign Ministers of r. C. And regional forums this week which due to be discussed wont just be about Southeast Asia in addition to the u. S. Secretary of state the Foreign Ministers from china russia japan and south korea are expected. One issue of particular focus the tension on the Korean Peninsula a senior official from pyongyang is expected in bangkok for the meetings possible discussions on the next summit between chairman kim jong un and President Donald Trump could take place after 3 meetings the leaders have made no progress on moving toward an agreement over north Koreas Nuclear program this after north korea last week tested what it said were new tactical guided weapons and released photos of a new submarine the meetings here in bangkok could be viewed as an opportunity for the 1st to try him at summits were held in member nations singapore and vietnam so ossie on the can attempt to provide a kick to mean role for the talks before the big players need to broker knew that the 3rd party media took some time to provide an environment a setting for for trust building in the past 6 party talks didnt go anywhere so perhaps if they can be persuaded that you know a 3rd party platform. Would be a key catalyst the key confidence builder. Long an issue for several of the aussie on nations chinas claim of territory in the South China Sea but there has been a lack of consensus about what should be done within discussions with china on a territorial code of conduct are due this week. Some feel that part of the problem is the rapid expansion of chinese influence and reach region wide through Infrastructure Investment and commercial and military deals and thats not just undermining the block critics say but also enabling china in its push for greater control over the South China Sea it must be the collective. Stand off that has to tell the chinese that from a historical Public International law from the reality pi no view you have no. Reasons no facts to support your claim to the whole of South China Sea but the meetings wont all be about politics as a group has the 5th largest economy in the world so trade agreements in the trade war between the us and china will no doubt be discussed on the sidelines its not hard to aljazeera bangkok. Manzano trump is accusing china of waiting till the 2020 us president ial election to strike a trade deal he is starting to be a lot tougher with beijing if he is reelected trade talks between the worlds 2 biggest economies have resumed after stalling in may over the issue of tariffs however expectations from that meeting in shanghai they are loath when hates blames. The trade delegation from china and the United States sitting around the table meeting face to face again is of course being seen as a positive because it is the 1st time this is happened since the negotiations broke down in may but there is an expectation that we will not see much in the way of concrete details emerge from this round of negotiations because the 2 sides still seem a long way apart on some key issues weve heard again from the u. S. President donald trump repeating a line that he has said before that he believes the chinese will want to push this process out beyond the next president ial election in the United States which is happening next year he is saying that when he wins reelection that any deal he offers the chinese then will not be as favorable favorable to them as the one he is offering them now so in other words accept this deal or things are going to get a lot worse for you that is the message from donald trump to the chinese of course its highly unlikely the chinese side is going to take much notice of that all be influenced by it but there is a sense that they are settling in for a long fight that they are going to take their time with these negotiations partly because what the americans are asking for is going to be very difficult for the chinese to deliver on.

The parade this the 7th meeting of the Security Council since the intensification of the bombing of a glib started in april and still division among Council Members and growing frustration at the continued failure of the un Security Council to end impunity for these crimes is a blight on the credibility of this body to carry out its core mandate the un sue military and coordinator.

They Democratic Party candidates hoping to take on donald trump in the 2020 president ial election a finish the 2nd round of televised debates Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren and better role coming does contend as debasing in detroit a lot of hate as they shed their views on a range of issues Like Health Care climate and immigration john hendren following events from detroit for us hi john not that social media is the end all and be all of everything but im seeing a lot of talk about Elizabeth Warren tonight. Thats right come on if you believe what you read on social media liberals at least seem to be very positively reviewing Elizabeth Warren more so than Bernie Sanders they hold very similar views the left wing the most progressive wing of the party but those 2 were 2 of those who spoke out the much and they were 2 of those who got into the most conflict with other candidates theres a reason for that they are trying to stay at the top of the polls and all the contenders these are there were 10 contenders in all tonight intend to morrow night those at the bottom of the polls are trying to break through and get you know more support before their support and funding dries up the result of that was fireworks the Democratic Party considers itself the party of civility but tonight several of them came out swinging let me give you a couple of examples Bernie Sanders was talking about health care for all this would be a Public Health care program that would end private insurance and he told with congressman tim ryan when he said it is it would cover more and people would be happier with. It jim ryan says you dont know whats going to do that bernie and bernie snapped back i do know i wrote the damned bill and then john delaney was speaking to Elizabeth Warren she continuously clashed with him over this same issue over this health care for all program he said why do we need to be the party of taking everything away she said were democrats were not about taking health care from anyone those are republican talking points so they were a lot of fireworks and i think we can expect more tomorrow night when joe biden stands between his 2 biggest critics that is come away harris and cory booker big picture john are we starting to see a sort of pot in my phrasing a thinning of the hood here it is a very big field in this democratic for the democratic nomination and is a long time to go as well. Its very possible that in the 2 hours and 43 minutes of this debate which ran considerably over time that for some of them this is essentially the end of the campaign after the 1st round of debates we had a candidate bail out and now we are likely to see more the funding is likely to dry up the support is likely to dry up and that the rules for getting into the 3rd round of debate are tighter it will probably be fewer than half of these people and that means some of them are going to give up ok john hendren democratic debates in detroit thank you. And well u. S. Civil rights lawyers have said more than 900. 00 Migrant Children have been separated from their families at the border since last year this is coming from the a. C. L. U.

C. L. U. Says the government is now taking children away from the parents on the flimsiest grounds rosen jordan explains. Theyre American Civil Liberties union said that it decided to file this latest challenge in federal court because of information that it says the federal government presented to it starting late in 2018 basically that federal agents were once again separating children from their parents at the Us Mexico Border perhaps for the most frivolous of reasons they c. L. U. Said in a Court Complaint filed in california on tuesday that some of these reasons included a parent who did not want to awaken a sick child when she saw her diaper and then authorities taking his child away from him because they claimed he was a bad parent another person lost his child because he had been driving without a valid drivers license and yet other people were accused of being members of gangs even though in most cases they were not the a. C. L. U. Said that the federal government is abusing what it says it has to have which is broad discretion to protect children in these circumstances and what the a. C. L. U. Wants is an in Court Hearing with the judge that put in the original order stopping the forcible separation of families and it wants the judge to spell out under exactly which circumstances the federal government can remove children from their parents a stance of for the children safety.
