4:05 pm
not the u.s. thought in this was simply a diversion or actually something that could be useful. but the implication that was left during the back and forth between reporters and mr. kerby, was that this is something that will be on the table come thursday. >> did mr. kerby or anybody else there have anything to say about this other simmering row this, one between turkey and the united states about the classification of a kurdish group by the turks as a terrorist group by the united states, no, sir at a terrorist group. and this involving now the u.s. ambassador in ankara being summoned for talks, et cetera? >> reporter: it's a little complicated but let's walk our viewers through on this, david, this is a group buhled pyd. they are syrian kurds have that been fighting alongside other kurdish groups against isil. they also have their concerns and disputes with the syrian government, but the u.s. is

4:07 pm
encouragement to any during dish group whether they are in syria or iraq because of the fears of the threat to their own national sovereignty. it's a long going, ongoing dispute the u.s.' position is syrian kurds no matter what group they belong to are doing the works that needs to be done to defeat isil and we will continue to stand with them. they are not being persuade today change their mind by these complaints by the turkish government. >> it shows how difficult it is all. rosalind thank you very much. the unite united nations is urgg turkey to open their borders. 10s of thousands have arrived at the border after fleeing the fighting that we have been reporting on in and around aleppo. the syrian government is backing up that offensive with russian airstrikes. the aim is to recapture the country's biggest city and with border camps all thought some of those refugees in winter are

4:12 pm
consistent message we have had when some of these other insta instances about medical facilities being hit have taken place, they are wrong and they are contrary to law. voters in the u.s. state of new hampshire in the northeast are deciding -- in fact some have already decided who they want to be the republican and democratic nominees to run for president. democrat supporters will choose between bernie sanders and hillary clinton. sanders the senator from vermont has been enjoying a bit of renewed momentum in recent days telling supporters he's predicting a very, very good night. a lot of people will also be looking at the republican contenders, yeah, donald trump. not doing as well as predicted in last week's iowa caucus, but he could change this all around in new hampshire. well, it's going to be sometime before all of the votes are counted. take a look at this. the republican field, well, they are not all favorites, but it is a wide open field. these three, though, the republican contenders ted cruz,

4:16 pm
to the presidency. and so will give up their campaign. kasich, bush, and christy of all after roughly the same kind of vote. it will be interesting to see who comes higher out of them and how big of a spread there is. if there is a huge gap between a third, fourth and then fifth, that might be the end of some campaigns as women. people keep telling me cass itch ikay suchis the man to watch. 110 town howells he's held. donald trump is still the favorite. he was in iowa as well. the polls close in around four hours, it this will be riley interesting night and a defining moment perhaps in the connection ran campaign. >> thank you, alan fish never new hampshire there. parts of a north korean rocket are recovered two days after its launch spooks neighboring countries. and. >> reporter: i am jessica baldwin in london at a new exhibition devoted no leonardo da vinci. not the artist but the engineer.

further. the police are trying to contain the situation, they put up this bashed wirbashbarbed wire to sen between from the court. after initially refuse to go payback the money, president zuma now says he will but he wants the auditor general and finance minister to determine the amount. opposition parties say the president should not be allowed to repay on his own terms. they want the highest court to respect the authority of the office of the public protector. that's an independent body that is supposed to hold people to account even the president. these protests are happening a few months before a local election, poor service delivery and corruption could see the ruling party lose support in some urban areas. >> i think the opposition parties have tried by all means and they will try to squeeze any political mileage out of this and take it in to local government election, raising the credibility of the relationship of the alc. >> reporter: opposition parties say there will be more marches and demonstrations out the

year,. an eight-day strike by people working at pakistan's national airline is over. workers representatives say they will now speak to the government. it was sparked by the upcoming partial privatization of pakistan international airline scheduled for july. the airline says more than 50% of flights have already been restored. two strikers were killed last week in concentrations at the international airport: we have the latest from the capital >> reporter: the workers have called off their strike. the eight-day strike cost a million dollars and also caused travel chaos across the country. 10s of thousands of people have been affected not just in pakistan but outside as well. people that went on pilgrim i believe, people that came back to pakistan who work outside the country have been stranded and not able to travel back to their destinations. a spokesman says the details of the agreement will be made public soon after he travels and
4:23 pm
meets the governor of punjab who happens to be the prime minister's brother. workers insist if the airline is privatized they will lose their jobs, but the government says that it cannot sustain to provide millions of dollars each year to the ailing airlines and continue its operations as they were. the details of the agreement will be made public soon and the flight operations they are hoping will resume normally within days. ahead of u.s. intelligence is saying that north korea has restarted plutonium production at it's nuclear reactor. the director of national intelligence james clapper says the facility which was shutdown in 2007, has since been expanded. and that the plutonium reactor is running again. there is increasing international concern over north korea's apparent moves towards building a nuclear missile. >> -y i don' >> pyongyang continues to
4:24 pm
produce material and. it is committed to developing a long range nuclear missile capable of posing a direct threat to the united states, although the system has not been flight tested. >> u.s. president obama has spoken with the leaders of both south korea and japan offering support after tha that rocket lh from north korea last weekend. they are saying it was carrying a satellite but they fear it was a test for a nuclear payload. part of the casings have been recovered and harry fawcett is in south korea's capital seoul. okay, instead of talking to there are on hearing from harry let's talk to a professor of korean studies the tufts just in the united states. the fact that the united states has said north korea has restarted plutonium production, is a surprise that the u.s. has come out with it at this time because it's been thought they have been doing this for a matter of years. am a right?
4:25 pm
>> that's right in april 2013 while north korea was on an unprecedented three-month long bluster bah rage, north korea retold the world it would restart its main nuclear reactor and according to evening commercial satellite images, apparently north korea did so later in the year. so the question is why now? it's obviously a response in response to north korea's latest provocation its sixth long range missile test which purportedly now has the range to hit washington, d.c. it has a range of 7,500 miles or so that squarely puts washington within its range. this is a serious development. north korea has been at it for a while and north korea's nuclear weapons and missile capabilities have been advancing. we tend to p pay true news north korea.
4:26 pm
we tend to be dismissive over north korea but they have made progresses progress and its ahead sr*eu very terries principally the u.s. and its allies have fallen pray to their lies and given them billions of dollars in exchange. >> this is a country with a leader who sits there metaphorically if you like, with his fingers in his ears making loud noises friending he doesn't hear a single thing the outside world is saying. so why would the director of intelligence in the u.s. feel it necessary to say something like this. what effect would it have if he is not listen something. >> i guess he was obliged to report to the senate armed services committee the findings of the intelligence community. there is perhaps a political intent as well. i think it's a show of resolve to do something about north korea's growing lethal threat. and there is, indeed, a movement within the u.s. congress to pass
4:27 pm
a tough north korea sanctions legislation, many people have the misperception, the erroneous view that u.s. sanctions against north korea are maxed out. that north korea is one of the most heavily sanctioned countries in the world. that is simply not true. u.s. sanctions against north korea are in both degree and kind far weaker than u.s. sanctions against many countries like iran, syria, sudan, burundi, zimbabwe and so forth. so i think there is a resolve to really try to put some financial pressure on the north korean leadership. so as to gain leverage for successful negotiated settlements. >> is there a possibility that no matter where north korea goes with this, the very fact that it's talking about it and everybody else is doing the same, that this could bring with it an arms race in that part of asia, that south korea, for example, could say if the north is going to get a bomb, we want to get one for ourselves too?
4:28 pm
>> that's exactly what some prominent lawmakers have been saying in the recent -- in the past few days. and weeks. increasingly vocally. now it sounds far fetched that south korea might go nuclear and then perhaps japan in the neighborhood may follow suit. but 20 years ago, it sounded far fetched for north korea one day to show the world that it has the capability or the new capability to mary a nuclear warhead with a long range missile that can hit continental u.s. you never know because south korea cannot really completely depend on u.s. commitment to the defense of south career for any u.s. administration to weigh the risk of hundreds of thousands of its own citizens the lives of its citizens gets it's commitment to defend south korea in a nuclear war against north korea. that's a very dilemma that south korea may go nuclear in due
