north korea going from successfully conducted a third nuclear test defying a bond from the you on the world bully will cold and imagines to meet any of the security council later today. or the pope's swirling in the papal tunnel experts question the legacy of al growing but in dick the sixty years amid sex abuse scandals plaguing the catholic church worldwide. also this hour security forces repel yet another top of the presidential palace in cairo with tear gas and water cannons as a self styled on it is a group emerges as a key player out of the regime a street crowd has. and there's iran holds a new round of talks a little we can expect as world holds on a lack of basic medicine due to sanctions has many allies in the country hanging by a thread.

the international news life this is on c let me follow up thanks for joining us and our breaking news story is our north korea has confirmed carrying out its nuclear test this comes after south korea reported at four point nine magnitude tremor coming from its communist neighbor it had been threatening to carry out a nuclear test for months despite being banned from any such activities by the you on north korea is already under a set of international sanctions the country had previously carried out to nuclear test and is believed to possess a small stockpile of nuclear weapons an emergency meeting of the 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 will always react very

strongly to what it calls provocations whether the us either sends 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 in spite of one room 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 that's 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 question about north korea's previous nuclear tests that they have fizzled they have been pretty is 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 church across the globe or he's been all of a hostile. 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 it had been left frankly 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 leaks include one of the one of the reasons that benedict said that he has to step down as he thought his age and made him

physically and in some cases mentally unable to deal with the everyday life of being the pope in the modern world 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. 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 include 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 and 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 and barbara doris a child of these campaign as 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 shielding the predators or 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 involved in 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 to rebuild he sent was if you are unable shield and protect the 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 vatican so and hear how you have been voting so far so two thirds of you literally don't have any faith in the institution or its leadership a little under

a quarter 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 this to be. an important moment in new testament if you like a considering all the scandals and allegations to history so while an equal 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. it's to. get you to leave.

the place in cairo has been trying to rip palatine acts against a presidential palace with tear gas and water cannons after a year it's held stones and it's 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 this story all over the country a lawsuit for three decades and while agents public prosecutor orders their arrest of a muslim cleric four say the leaders of the opposition should be condemned to death sunday islamic nor of course to overthrow president morsi and now i spoke to also on trial this ramsey buried here 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 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 a result you have the. this increasing number of casualties some of it indeed due to police brutality and group calling itself the blog blog that has a much to as a new force in this latest string of clashes and we had a chance to speak now to 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 of 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 and particularly but why would be even appeal to the youth of egypt in the first place a list there was a 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 with her coming from the government or from the so-called opposition. some ahead of for you in the program dangerous demographics are exposed a potential is in the u.k. with the rapid population change could need to civil war local the details in a couple of minutes. from. the world. series technology innovation all the news developments from around russia we've gone to the future or covered. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything

from iran. and boxall breaking news story north korea has been funded it's 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 who is in new zealand for us mr bill thank you very much indeed for joining us now so north korea is banned by the u.n. from carrying out nuclear tests surely knew what an outcry this would this would cause so why. why did they still decide to go ahead with the ted oh absolutely they knew what was going to happen i think they're so used now to know you're going on the notions i mean only. recently we have become the nation of the satellite launch so i think they've taken this right they see the united nations like iran you know

i think. 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 they're the people talking to all right 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 lots of words from washington we will get more condemnation. or they will know is about increasing sanctions but really there's. not very much they can do on sanctions. and. i mean we get stories are dying the same things we know in north korea for decades so you know they know the real question is you know why why they're doing

it and then just bring it across 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 ask us what is the basis of this american policy. so obviously functions failed to prevent north korea from developing nuclear weapons and indeed from testing more bombs and bullets missiles but what good are the sanctions that. well i think they're infected they're probably. don't know anyone who lived in the. elite really think so you know will. they say you know they claim they think they

will put you through certain no country really changes the young the sanctions the or journalist you have to you really ought to be required of them is worse than the sanctions in that case. so north korea and one can surrender to you could acquiesce to american muslims. but that in fact their eyes would be worse than what the americans do to them with sanctions so they will be severe. they will first appear until the americans until the negotiations over. whether that what happened was a lot of matter all right live from new zealand stead it was asia specialist team bill thank you very much indeed. recent studies in britain such as the country's most ruggedly growing demographic is muslim and they trends are in trouble with the native brits who say their

government's just scared to face the problems caused by their immigration. on a bike i went to investigate. 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 doing let it sit cine recently moved here from sri lanka and it is a big. deal that it's more dear he. has three children i was born in bangladesh did you keisha good living standard of living so you prefer to live in you kid them overseas london is quite 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. even the labor party has

discovered recently that the vast majority of people is right those who would. naturally. 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 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 then only work for my opinion i don't think you retain need more immigrants at the moment i do love the movie as

a way to hear critics say the government is too frightened to address what person will look like in fifty years time it's going to look like islam about basically it's going to be a complete population change the indigenous population is shrinking anyway the biggest growth stenographic in in britain is israel 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 possibly civil war demographers say that if immigration continues on a similar scale the white british population throughout the country will become a minority off to twenty sixty six but with less than half of london is already describing themselves as white british some say that
