Latest missile firing is being viewed with deep concern here in south korea its the 2nd double launching of short range Ballistic Missiles in less than a week and the 3rd Missile Launch to take place since may in direct contravention of the landmark military agreement signed between north and south korea last september during the period of improving relations that was meant to have put an end to testings like this one south koreas defense minister has said that if the north continues with threats and provocations like this then it would have to be considered an enemy so there has been some very strong words used by south korea contrasting with all of the period of reconciliation that weve had over the past year and a half or so north korea said when it launched missiles last week that that should be considered to be a solemn warning to south korea being very careful not to direct any of its anger all wrath at the americans and that u. S. President donald trump in particular but this does seem to be a reminder from them about the size of their nuclear and missile arsenal that yes this is only a short range missile but it is a reminder that they are serious about getting the u. S. Back to the negotiating table and eventually getting some relief from the crippling sanctions. Now one part as they found director of the center for the study of global issues at the university of georgia and the u. S. And he says that they want to be a deal with north korea unless the u. S. Makes concessions. I think north korea is willing to give up their Nuclear Program but we have to presume paroquet did. With the sanction reduction with the nonaggression of graham agreement maybe peace treaty diplomatic normalization we have a lot of things that we can offer but nothing has been offered to north korea and their missile tests its designed to demonstrate that theyre willing to strike back at if there are attack or preemptive strike if theyre educated they think theyre constantly being threatened because american troops are stationed in south korea in japan in in guam so that part of the world days a very heavy on the by the United States and north korea is very unhappy about that and threaten the in terms of their security so we have to really sit down talk about mutual concessions we have to give something to them by way of reducing. Sanctions and canceling the joint military exercise compromising the on sale to south korea so these things would have to be coming together with North Koreans concessions to order them pretty denuclearization. Lets move on to other news now irans foreign minister has warned that will further scale back its commitments under the nuclear deal unless europe does more to protect the agreement mohamad jarheads that it forms the remaining signatories to shield iran from u. S. Sanctions and allow it to sell its oil there are those already begun rolling back some commitments by breaking a limit on and virtue raney agreed the 2015 accord well lets get more on this our correspondent thoughts that bar is joining us live from the iranian capital and foreign minister zarif reiterating irans stance towards her that this cannot be a one way agreement whats he been saying. Well elizabeth hes been speaking following the weekly Cabinet Meeting here in the capital he said that the remaining european signatories in the Nuclear Agreement their expectations are not proportionate to their actions there basically what they are expecting is something that they have not given up themselves that they are not upholding their end of this deal the foreign minister said that because of this the rains will continue as the president Hassan Rouhani said to scale back their commitments step by step every 60 days the foreign minister said that terror will continue to cut back its commitments and its not up for negotiations because they are not seeing any of the benefits of this 2015 Nuclear Agreement and the main reason for that according to the iranians is because the United States withdrew from this deal last year and imposed a series of sanctions on irans oil and Banking Sector and the peons according to the iranians are too afraid to stand up to the americans that they are afraid of the sanctions that have been imposed on iran by the United States government so the foreign minister is reiterating the position that iran has chosen to take now the president also has spoken to the french president on tuesday evening Hasan Rouhani said that the whole point of this nuclear deal was that so irans economy would be opened up to the world and they would be open to dealing with the International Community when it comes to their countrys economy that is the exact opposite of what has taken place since the americans withdrew last year so there is a feeling here that the iranians will stay in this Nuclear Agreement but they will continue to reduce their commitments step by step as they announce along the way and also what are the concrete measures that iran needs that its from the europeans and what will the next step be if the europeans dont do more. Well the most important thing right now for the government is the sale of the sale of its oil that is something the United States of sanctions since the fall of last year so they are adamant that the United States cannot prevent the International Community from purchasing iranian oil of course before the sanctions came into place iran was selling around 2800000. 00 barrels of oil per day it is one of the Top Producers of oil in the world that is something that the iranians are very very angry about they say that the United States has now waged economic terrorism on iran by preventing countries from purchasing uranian oil so the 1st thing they want to do is to be able to sell their oil again on the International Market they also will be scaling back their commitment the next phase will be in september the head of irans Atomic Energy agency Ali Akbar Salehi has said that the next phase will be the restarting of the iraq heavy Water Nuclear reactor in september thank you very much for that is due also to the latest live and thank you now more than 40 protesters have appeared in court in hong kong on charges of rioting supporters gathered outside as the accused will go into the bay and its the 1st time authorities have formally charged any demonstrators with rushing which carries a jail term of up to 10 years the territory has seen more than 7 weeks of mass protests triggered a controversial extradition.

Israels security cabinet has approved permits for the construction of 700 palestinian homes in the occupied west bank the announcement comes ahead of a planned visit to israel this week by senior white house adviser Jared Kushner is expected to push both sides to join talks at camp david in the lead up to israeli elections in september lets get more on this i correspondent hard for such as joining us live from west jerusalem this is a rare move by israel to approve palestinian construction hairy whats behind it. Thats right palestinian construction in area c. Which is the israeli controlled part of the occupied west bank the last time such announcement was made was in 2016 with announcement of some 5000 such units that announcement never went beyond that initial announcement those units were never made and we dont know much about the detail of whats been announced this time beyond the number 715 we dont know whether its new homes or whether its retrospective approval of construction thats already happened and what we do know though is that along with this has been the approval of some 6000 units in illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and we saw a picture of Prime Minister netanyahu today. Cutting the ribbon on some new construction in one of in one such Settlement South of bethlehem so potentially trying to circumvent criticism of this announcement on palestinian units from the israeli right as you say it coincides with this weeks visit of. Not just coming here to israel but also going to jordan saudi arabia qatar United Arab Emirates and this report in the Israeli Press that that President Trump plans to hold a summit at camp david ahead of the israeli election on september the 17th to essentially put the broad outlines of the Political Part of the trump the peace plan before our leaders potentially the idea is to give them something to support in terms of this fairly small number of Palestinian Housing units and give them potentially some sort of cover to allow them to attend the summit of course the palestinians have entirely rejected the United States as a broker ever since donald trump declared that jerusalem was the capital of israel and move the u. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and the reporting is that trump will not talk about a palestinian state but rather enhanced autonomy thats something that his ambassador to israel David Friedman also mentioned in an interview with c. N. N. In which he talked about extending times to new ptolemy up to the point at which it could become a threat or a palestinian state could become a threat to Israeli Security so thats obviously far short of what the palestinians want and its only likely to ever more cement their opposition to the United States as a broker and in particular this peace plan harry thank you very much for that harry forethought with the latest live and west jerusalem thank you. Now on korean tensions are expected to be discussed at a regional summit and thailand Foreign Ministers from the region when i they should have been joined by the u. S.

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 trump him at summits were held in member nations singapore and vietnam so ossie on the can attempt to provide a kick to me wall for the talks looking forward to big. Need to broker 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 building. 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. Head to tell the chinese that from the historical from the International Law from the reality pie no 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 aussie on 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.
