Im joining you j. Sports including a year on from a plane crash that killed nineteen players will look at how Brazilian Club chappaqua and say has rebuilt its Team Following that tragedy. South koreas president will soon preside over a National Security meeting following a Missile Launch by north korea an initial assessment by the u. S. Suggest pyongyang launched an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile that would travel to an altitude of around four thousand kilometers before eventually splashing down in the sea of japan south korea says its carried out a test of its own in response and japan has ordered an emergency Cabinet Meeting well for the latest lets go live to kathy novak she joins us live now from seoul first of all what other reaction has there been. Well this is being taken very seriously here in the region as you say the president himself in chairing this meeting of the National Security council here in south korea and the initial assessment seemed to be pointing to this being an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile japans defense minister saying that north korea reached its highest level ever with this Missile Launch which were told has splashed in waters off the coast of japan we saw intercontinental range Ballistic Missiles for the first time in this year year or recall back in july of course north korea has long been promising that it is working towards developing an i. C. B. M. That kinda live or a Nuclear Warhead to the u. S. Mainland which is each of this these tests it wants to demonstrate to the world the kind of range its missiles have and it also gains crucial crucial Technical Knowledge for its own engineers its own military as it keeps working on perfecting its missile and indeed its Nuclear Program as you mentioned south koreas military conducted live Fire Training in response to this Missile Launch which happened in the middle of the night local time it was just gone quarter past three a. M. When this missile was launched in just over five minutes later the south Korean Military launched training of its own involving missiles in involving its age of ships and involving air force fighter jets and the message that south korea wants to send to north korea is that it is monitoring actions coming out of north korea that it detects these Missile Launches quickly and that it is prepared to respond with a message with this live fire drill being that if necessary if needed south korea it says has the capacity to take out the launch sites in north korea though in this case it was just a drill. You know this north korea launch is the first since mid september so about two months ago how do you think cassie the International Community is likely to respond. Well the one that happened back in september was an intermediate range Ballistic Missile that flew over japanese territory so of course that caused a lot of alarm in japan japan increasingly taking these Missile Launches ever more seriously because its own territory is threatened when these missiles fly over japan and what north korea seems to be trying to demonstrate with that is that its confident in its technology but no doubt there will be discussions in the International Community about what response they are likely to take though it seems that their options as ever are limited when it comes to north korea the theme of a coup the latest from seoul cassy thank you and the u. S. President has just said the latest launch it does not change his governments approach to north korea lets go to Kimberly Halkett at the white house what else did the u. S. President say kimberly. Thats right the president speaking in the oval office with reporters just in the last half hour or so not saying an awful lot when it comes to a response on north korea in fact saying rather generically will handle it and then implying that there would be further discussions to ensue with regard to the next steps for the United States fairly subdued response considering some that weve had from donald trump in recent months with regard to north korea certainly the fire and fury that we saw early in the summer of course the speech at the United Nations where donald trump exchanged insults calling kim jong un a little rocket man and also promising that the United States would have no choice but to totally destroy north korea if the United States or its allies were threatened will certainly now with this latest test that has occurred certainly more was expected from the president but it seems the president is still weighing his Options Consulting with his advisors on next steps for the United States in terms of response to what you mentioned these next steps of already announced tougher sanctions what more can he actually do now. Well thats the challenge barbara is that the United States has really boxed itself in in terms of a response i mean certainly the white house it appears is out of options because there really are only two choices except a Nuclear North Korea or in fact go to the military option but we know from former advisors to donald trump including steve bannon one of his chief strategist that in fact that really is not an option that has ever been considered despite some of the public statements that donald trump has made so certainly we have seen steps being taken in terms of investing in a relationship with the chinese president xi hoping that there would be financial and economic pressure put on north korea weve also seen the designation of state sponsor of terror that was again putting north korea on that list as of last week and also financial sanctions but beyond that it seems right now the u. S. Has very few options can really help it with the latest from the white house kimberly thank you but the u. N. Security council is hold an emergency session on Human Trafficking in libya evidence has emerged that hundreds of people are being all cautioned and modern day slaves markets in libya for as little as four hundred dollars mike hanna reports from new york. A small crowd of halfrek annex 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 when. France calls for a strong expression of condemnation from the Security Council the horrific images emerging in recent weeks. 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 you 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 you are 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 of applying the full range of International Law including the use of the International Criminal court but the session ends without 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 compatriots here in new york adam and even. My kind of aljazeera new york. Letter and doyle is the spokesman for the International Organization for migration he joins us live now from geneva sir thank you for joining us welcome to aljazeera now libya has been a state of the survey for what six years now a bit more since gadhafi fell the slave trade itself is nothing new but what changes are you see in the past months or so what examples can you give us how do you think the nature of the slave trade in libya is changing. Well i mean i think what youre saying is Human Trafficking is nothing new and its happening worldwide including in developed countries nothing new about that whats new and what shocking about libya is we have slave auction something we thought had been banished from the face of the earth two hundred years ago so you have effectively opened slave auctions which have been filmed and which have been recorded and which have now been spread around the social media and this clearly you know the selling of human beings is not new to libya but the auction is a pretty low base and what do you think has changed to create that situation for it to come out in the open in such an obvious way because theres a couple of things one is the the the crisis for libya is libya has been going on for a long time theres a lot of criminality outside the government theres not a great government in position all of the doing the best and on top of that you have a surge of migrants coming through many of them lifting up a smartphone like that and seeing an ad for some eldorado in europe that doesnt exist so thanks to social media facebook pushing out into africa for free kids innocent Vulnerable People are seeing a route which takes them like a trap straight into the hands of the exploitative traffickers and then theyre simply shaking them down torturing them and then selling them on to make profit so what do you think the International Community too could do to help the situation room thinking of some southern European Countries italy for example had a deal with the un backed government to try to stop the flow of migrants which has within reason stopped its unrealistic to think europe is just going to accept more refugees and migrants so what do you think they could do that might help the situation. Well its a terrible problem and there are many parts to resolving it first of all we need the Big Tech Media Companies to communicate across africa that its a bad idea to jump on the smugglers bus really bad idea we need to help libya former russia a coherent government was rule of law where the humanitarian where the rights of migrants and refugees are respected thats a long way off but in the meantime what we really need to do is get people out of detention fast and that is what the u. N. Migration agency is planning to do with the help of the European Union and the African Union and their partner unit c. Or the seems to be a general agreement that what needs to happen now now that the scourge of slavery has emerged in this very vivid way is to get people out of these Detention Centers where theyre treated so badly and get them to is get them home to their own countries voluntarily of course i mean a lot will simply not want to to go back to to the places theyve come from. Thats not really so i mean my colleague of a senior colleague my when was in a Detention Center yesterday leading a European Union senior delegation he was surrounded by people crammed like sardines in a room who were appealing to him to take him out to help get them home they have been through the mill the notion that they want to stay is nonsensical and they want to go voluntarily home and rapidly theyve been trapped into this situation there is no forward for them theres nowhere to go those who get put into the rubber raft by the smugglers quite often end up drowning weve just recorded three thousand drownings in the mediterranean this year alone this weekend thirty people were drowned in a rubber boat that sank why are people people being put it to sea in a rubber boat in the middle of winter god only knows clearly the smugglers and traffickers couldnt care that our dog from the International Organization for migration sir thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
