well. north korea going from successfully conducted a third nuclear test defying a bond from the you on the world body will cold and imagines to me the security council later today. or the pope's swirling in the papal tunnel experts question the legacy of the outgoing but into the sixty's and the sex abuse scandals plaguing the conflict charge worldwide. also this hour security forces are probably at or not out talking the presidential palace in cairo with tear gas and water cannon as a self-styled on it is group emerges as a key player of the regime a straight broad has. there's iran holds

a new round of talks with atomic inspectors were pulled from a lack of basic medicine due to sanctions as many lies in the country running by spread. international news live this is on c let me follow up thanks for joining us and our breaking news story a sour north korea has confirmed carrying out its nuclear test this comes after south korea reported that four point nine magnitude tremor coming from its communist neighbor. had been threatening to carry out a nuclear test for months despite being banned from any sunshine services by the you on north korea is already under a set of international sanctions the country who had previously carried out two nuclear tests and is believed to possess a small stockpile of nuclear weapons an emergency meeting of the go on security

council is to convene later today and journalist eric margolis says it is simply lashing back at military pressure on its borders. north korea always reacts very strongly to what it calls provocations will the u.s. either send more forces there or particularly every year the u.s. and south korea hold joint military exercises which are clearly a war games and aimed at attacking north korea and north korea has been almost crushed by the u.s. sanctions by limited nuclear arsenal which we should understand is really designed for defensive purposes this is a hallmark of north korea's national pride in the pennants of north korea's not about to launch a nuclear war against the united states its way to work around one reads in the western media it's very important for north korea to conduct another underground

test if it wants to have a credible nuclear deterrent force and that its objective if you don't test people won't believe that you actually have a nuclear warhead that you can send there's been a lot of questions about north korea's previous nuclear tests that they have fizzled they haven't produced full of explosive power so this is the obvious course for north korea once it has perhaps four missiles that can deliver a light weight were it north korea will will be able to proclaim that it can defend itself and it will feel more secure and of course will bring you more on this developing story later in the program i could also follow the latest at our website dot com. a wave of shock has shaken the catholic world after pope benedict arnolds who would step down from office at the

end of the month in the first papal abdication centuries the development followed a series of allegations about the point of trying to hush up sex abuse scandals plaguing the catholic try to cross the globe or he's put all of the hassle. well it's described by one cardinal as a lightning bolt from a clear blue sky it certainly caught some of benedict's most senior advisers on the hope his spokes person said that the being left flabbergasted by the news that the pope will be stepping down at the end of the month now benedict is eighty five years old obviously not a young man but the cardinals knew that when they elected him and he was supposed to be there for a lot longer than this i think they would have thought it's not unprecedented but it's not really done that often in fact the last time a pope stepped down was six hundred years ago it's certainly not been an easy ride it's not been the longest papacy just under eight years but in that time the

certainly being plenty of drama no nice includes one of the one of the reasons that benedict said that he has to step down as he thought his age made him physically and in some cases mentally unable to deal with the everyday life of being the pope in the modern world and one of the series of scandals that we've seen involve the so-called vatileaks similar to wiki leaks a series of documents that were distributed online which well apparently showed a c.v.s. a series of shady dealings done by the vatican this type of thing of course not something your average eighty five year old has to deal with but they included some quite serious allegations including the fact that the vatican colluded with silvio berlusconi's government in italy to try and get pressure taken off the church of rome for paying taxes on properties which it owned there is also a list that was published of well less than savory clients for the vatican bank

which included some people alleged to be sicilian mafia bosses and of course one of the major scandals that is will be remembered for benedict's papacy concerns child abuse now in his previous. this job before he became pope he was essentially regarded as the john paul of seconds papal bulldog he was the defender of the doctrine of fair for faith and not role he is accused of covering up sexual abuse scandals all around the world but also here in germany in fact in recent times there's been further controversy over this as the church here in germany cancelled an investigation into child abuses that range but the nineteen forty since stopped that investigation apparently according to the man who was conducting it because they weren't happy with what would be made public so there's certainly been controversy and it will be something that's picked over for

a long time to come after benedict steps down at the end of this month. barbara doris the child abuse complaint as soon as the outgoing pope has failed to solve the core problems within the catholic church. we believe that he uttered words he said there was filth in the priesthood he apologized to the victims but he took no action he didn't discipline a single church official for hiding enabling children to predators for you know moving them from country to country from diocese to diocese so until he does that nothing has changed and we believe the words were just empty empty promises if the people be protected these predators are promoted by cardinal law was in boston the scandal was huge and yet cardinal law managed to land in in the vatican on the most powerful committees that exist within the vatican so to the message he rebuilt he

sent was if you are unable shield and protected predators you will be rewarded and we don't feel that's the right message we feel that he should be taking action we have a bishop in the united states that was convicted of child endangerment and is still being allowed to run a diocese what kind of a message is that to send to the world i would expect more of the same since those that enable and shield and protect continue to be promoted to continue to be given the most powerful positions within the vatican the message is clear if you follow the company line if you keep this secret if you put the reputation of the church above this of the children then you will be promoted what a terrible message to send many people no longer trust church officials like they did in the past and that's a very sad statement that you can't trust your bishops. and are always interested in hearing your thoughts so head to our website to vote on the catholic church's feature after pope benedict's the sixteenth make his final appearance at the

vatican so and hear how you have been voting so far so two thirds of you literally don't have any faith in the it's to sion or it's leadership a little under a quote say when they were saw the white smoke rises above the vatican it will be benedict who gone and forgotten it seems only five percent believe it's to be. an important moment in new testament if you like considering all the scandals and allegations to history so while inequal almost believes the catholic church has been called a so of the pope failing falling on his story ok absolutely no idea who to replace him with so tell us what you think it.

i am going to. tell you to leave. the place and kyra has been trying to rip palatine acts against a presidential palace with tear gas and water cannons after a year it's held stuns and grounds the violence followed a march by thousands of demonstrators hokies egypt's current leader of repression and tightening his grip on power the protests took place on the second anniversary of the toppling of hosni mubarak was on face to over the country last across three decades and while agents public prosecutor orders their arrest of a muslim cleric for say the leaders of the opposition should be condemned to death under islamic law of course to overthrow president morsi and i spoke to also and

journalists run siebert who believes the country has become immensely polarized. for the last two years egypt has not been allowed to have a strong central government that is key booboo pushing the political process forward and thus the economy of the country the social cohesion and everything else as a result you have the huge vacuum and this polarization and that is allowing egyptian society to be open for exploitation what has been happening is not exactly a popular a new unified popular uproar against the addictive nature but rather a political polarization that has swept through the country for the last two years reaching the point of both sides justifying violence against one another and as it is you have. this increasing number of casualties some of it indeed due to police

brutality and group calling itself the blog blog that has a much as a new force in this latest string of clashes and we had a chance to speak not one of its members lets out have a listen. we call upon the interior ministry to deliver justice for those who have been killed and we will continue our demands until they are met our actions are in self-defense we are protecting ourselves but have never attacked anyone no one listens to our demands and the proof is the number of people who are being killed so do you believe in the peaceful nature behind the intentions of these young men and blind. no not at all there is a possibility that in sound and the are outside those who are trying to brother and fuel to the fire that is already. taking over egypt at least in the urban centers from cairo to boresight it's a phenomenon that i think resulted from the frustration disenfranchisement and just

the general feeling of betrayal that the youth of egypt are feeling right now the issue is not the black bloc in particularly but why would they even appeal to the youth of egypt in the first place unlist there was that vacuum and there was a deed that was a created by the lack of sensuality and the lack of confidence in the political process in egypt were coming from the government or from the so-called opposition. some ahead of for you in the program dangerous demographics. the tensions in the u.k. with the rapid population change could lead to civil war broke out the details in a couple of that. old. technology innovation hall believes developments from around russia we've got the future covered. sometimes you see

a story and it seems so far away you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you. are is a big. news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to rule the day.

this is also a welcome blog the your nuclear watchdog is holding another round of talks with iran on its atomic program after failed negotiations last month be hopes this time to convince tehran to open up with the senate so suspected of making bombs they just as main focus is the paltry military base a sideway believes iran tested explosives relevant for the production of nuclear weapons iran denies all western accusations assisting its program was meant for power generation and medical research however increasingly it's of international sanctions are putting a squeeze on everyday lives and making it harder for rainy and stop taking basic medicine and there's also news maria for a notion reports now from tehran a drug deficit in many cases leads to a lethal outcome. behind the smile lies pain and despair a vast and they run in with blood

a cancer has just received his medicine. but there is no guarantee he'll get it tomorrow all the best jokes about patients being patient but sadly has no choice. it's so hard to get treatment these days it's not that i don't get any at all but you have to wait a long time and if you get it that only means someone else has missed. the reason for the drug shortage sanctions imposed by western countries in the republic they're not directly targeting the pharmaceutical or medical sectors but they hit banks in the case trade restrictions. unfortunately many foreign companies stopped selling us drugs they're not allowed to have crude relations with iran and people predict price with. iran's officials warn it may have an impact far beyond its borders. if we have a disease or pedantic and are unable to vaccinate the population it could spread

easily to neighboring countries and the many outside iraq. iran produces ninety six percent of its own medicine but the roma to roseville half of them come from abroad more than fifty vital medicines have disappeared from the running around the city international sanctions came in because the foreign in britain c m a from can no longer make their way into iran people with cancer and him ophelia wait often ended with bad news that their drug is not available their chances of survival are getting ever slimmer as sanctions heat patients instead of politicians officials estimate a total of six million iranian patients could be in danger because of the drug deficit in the van by local and international media reported on the first death apparently caused by the shortage a fifteen year old boy who suffers from him ophelia couldn't get the medicine he desperately needed despite

a frantic search by his family and he died in hard. the toll on the whole. the west used predator now they tried sanctions on the military sector then we realized we actually started making progress there but they wanted to weaken destabilize the country and the government is their aim this is why they now target people so that people get angry and take to the streets protesting that. and people indeed take to the streets this is a meeting of organ donors and some whose lives have been saved by transplant is a process now complicated by the like of medicine for that. i thank god and the donor who returned me to why i had heart problems and now his heart beats and my chest and i'm again why but the problem is that many too many are still waiting surgery became extremely expensive and the number of donors decreased will they have enough time the. iranian doctors find themselves facing

a very hard to to ration having to decide who will get the medicine and who will not in this race and they wrote an s.o.s. letter to the un chief they're still waiting for an answer griffin ocean r.t. from iran. and boxall breaking news story north korea hostile sunday is carried out as third underground nuclear test the move has triggered a wave of international condemnation and they do want security council will meet for an emergency session later on tuesday and let's go get some reaction from asia specialist team bill there is in new zealand for us mr bill thank you very much indeed for joining us now so north korea is bond by the yuan from carrying out nuclear tests surely knew also not quite this would this would cause so why did they still decide to go ahead with the test oh absolutely they knew what was going to happen i think they're so used now to the notion. i mean only.

recently we have become a nation of the satellite lot so i think they've taken this right they see the united nations rightly or wrongly you know i think. as at the moment very much a tool of the united states with russia and china pushing a little bit of restraint but not sufficient on the united states so from their point of view it's not in a sense united nations it's united states and now the people talking to all rise and the nuclear part of course comes just hours before the u.s. president is due to deliver his state of the union address how is washington expected to react then. we get a lot of words from washington we will get more condemnation. or they will know it is about increasing sanctions but really there's. not very much they can do on sanctions. and. i mean we get stories you know are dying

the same things in north korea for decades so you know the one you know the real question is you know why why they're doing it and they're just doing it of course in response to the americans actually nice notions of what we call hostile policy so that means sanctions nutrasweet. so in the center where we should be looking we should we not in american policy. on reactions to it and i ask you what is the basis of this american policy. so obviously functions failed to prevent north korea from developing nuclear weapons and in the testing more bombs and bullets missiles but good are the sanctions that . well i think they're infected they're probably. i don't

know anyone who in the. elite really thinks so you know will. they say you know they claim they think they will but it's really uncertain no country really changes honestly under sanctions if the alternative of the others being required of them is worse than the sanctions in that case because so north korea in the sense one can surrender if you could acquiesce to american muslims. but that in fact their eyes would be worse than what the americans can do to them with sanctions so they will first severe. their will first of the year until the americans until the negotiations over. whether that what happened was a lot of matter. all right live from new zealand there was asia specialist team

bill thank you very much indeed. recent studies in britain such as the country's most rather the growing demographic is muslim and they trends are in trouble with the native brits who say their governments to scared to face the problems caused by the immigration bill are going to boycott one test against. it's what britain is known for a vibrant multicultural society and it looks like u.k. babies are testimony to it in east london seventy seven percent of new mums were born in britain nicoletta is from romania two thousand and seven i have been here when my husband together so. i'm through and let it sit she recently moved here from sri lanka and it is very good my dil that is more dear. zahra has three children i was born in bangladesh could do to keisha good living

standard of living so here prefer to live in u.k. the overseas london has got so ethnically diverse that white britons and now a minority here as well as in three other british cities between the years of two thousand and one and two thousand and eleven nearly four million immigrants came to the u.k. as part of an immigration boom under the former labor government at the time westminster said that britain needed working migrants to propel the economy this is tower hamlets in east london a third of the residents here a bangladeshi in fact they outnumber the white brits in this area by two thousand people so if you want to just say that they're baffled at just how quickly the number of indigenous brits has diminished over the past decade some put it down to a case of white flight they say that caucasian brits are moving out of the country's most diverse areas there are people in this country who have racist

motives who simply don't want people because of the color of their skin. in the city but there are a lot of genuinely decent people who do have concerns and even the labor party has discovered recently that the vast majority of people is right those who would. actually. for the labor party have conserves and that's something that no government can ignore the leader of the opposition labor party recently admitted that his party got it wrong on immigration and to those who lost out we were too quick to say like it's all input the truth is the public were ahead of us in seeing some of the problems of migration because they were seeing them in their own communities. and they were ahead of us in seeing the costs of migration as a whole poll after poll shows that the people living here i worried about the speed

and the size of the influx how i'm going to eventually work for my opinion i don't think. the train need more immigrants at the moment i do love the movie is the way the critics say the government is too frightened to address what person will look like in fifty years time it's going to look like basically it's going to be a complete population change the indigenous population is shrinking anyway the biggest growth stenographic in in britain is it's growing ten times faster than any other demographic and the problem with that is that the younger generation and the younger muslim generation is becoming increasingly radicalized and i personally think it's going to be. civil unrest in the twenty twenty five twenty two possibly civil war demographers say that if immigration continues on a similar scale the white british population throughout the country will become

a minority after twenty sixty six but with less than half of london is already describing themselves as white british some say that a quiet and irreversible revolution has already taken place in britain partly boyko azzi east london. that's coming up shortly is breaking the set was i think. some conjurers want oil but that's kid stuff who needs oil when you could secure the world's largest. of trucker darrow so-to located exclusively in sweden and meeting sweden for absolutely no logical reason is

a possible you say well supreme commander of the swedish armed forces general serger guru and son must have watched red dawn too many times because he thinks the russians are a common general durance and declared that if invaded by russia sweden wouldn't be able to last a week against the onslaught therefore sweden must immediately join nato he said that currently it is not quite possible to invade sweden but due to the two thousand and eight war with georgia it is possible for russia to somehow push through established european borders bring their forces up to sweden gates putting the generals country in danger but guess what according to your own council of the european union georgia started the war so by that logic if the two thousand and one with georgia is the example of the future then don't kill russian peacekeeping troops and you'll have nothing to worry about but general goran so also made the point the president putin is rearming the russian army hinting at a threat well being heavily armed to defend yourself is a bad scary thing then joining up with nato seems to be pretty hypocritical if the

people of sweden want to join nato well that is their choice but they shouldn't be tricked into having their taxpayers pay for their sons to die in afghanistan based on totally bogus arguments that make no sense but that's just my opinion. to get. to come. to get. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month before i should try it because you know how fabulous and lucky. i mean. i guess i. really miss. her.
