4:01 am
this is our see coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program and it will start with our breaking news story north korea has confirmed carrying out its said underground nuclear test aimed against what it called outrageous u.s. hostility and let's now find out more from a nice and now he joins us live from centro a moscow and he said very nice to see you so it's a very explosive story in more ways than one any. that's right the reclusive state has announced that it successfully detonated a menu tries nuclear device of an underground test site to find orders from the u.n. security council condemnation is expected across the board especially from the west an emergency meeting at the u.n. security council has been called upon ki-moon and south korea have already been vocal about their very serious concerns now the main issue is that this puts north korea one step closer to its goal of building a nuclear warhead small enough to mount on a long range missile capable of reaching the united states here in russia no
4:02 am
official reaction yet but news agency interfax is citing sources at the foreign ministry saying that russia decisively condemns any kind of nuclear activity and it's still early in washington but this is seen as a direct threat from a direct message i should say from new leader kim jong un to president obama just hours before he gives his annual state of the union surely president obama will react somehow most likely by threatening more sanctions and further isolation the big question is is that enough to deter north korea from its nuclear ambitions. right any sonali live from central moscow and he so many thanks indeed for that update and journalist eric margolis says it is simply a large military push on its borders. north korea
4:03 am
always reacts very strongly to what it calls provocations whether the u.s. 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 that attacking north korea and north korea has been almost crushed by the u.s. sanctions more limited nuclear arsenal which we should understand is really designed for defensive purposes this is a hallmark of north korea's national pride and independence of north korea is 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 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
4:04 am
a lot of questions about north korea's previous nuclear tests that they have fizzled they have been pretty full of explosives power so this is the obvious course for north korea once it has perhaps four missiles that can deliver a lightweight were it north korea will will be able to proclaim that it can defend itself and will feel more secure. and asia specialist tim beal things for his sanctions will raise was felt will fail to rein in north korea's nuclear ambitions as pyongyang can only be appeased its renegotiations. don't know anyone who lives in the. elite really think so you know will. they say. when they think you will that is really. no country really changes obviously under sanctions if the alternative to the others be required of them is worse than the
4:05 am
sanctions and that. so north korea and sense good can surrender if you could acquiesce to america. but that in fact in their eyes would be worse than what americans do to them as sanctions so they will do first with you. they will first until the americans until the negotiation show. that what happened was. and of course would also like to find out your thoughts on this developing story so had to r.t. dot com where we're asking whether you agree with north korea pursuing a national security through a nuclear weapons and so far here's what he is saying so just under two thirds believe has its reasons but they are slower due to ideology and isolation and i think if feel north korea is mad and asking for war ten percent of you debate that
4:06 am
the communist state has no reasonable alternative to protect itself exactly the same amount believe north korea only has to make to iraq to know it's done the right thing so do go to r.t. dot com and cast your vote. it's a. gas and water canada has been fired by police in cairo against the crowd of gets attacking the presidential palace the violence followed a demo accusing egypt's leader of oppression of the power grab on the second
4:07 am
anniversary of the toppling of hosni mubarak was on a war of a country a loss of three decades and a lot of group of masked young men calling themselves the black bloc and gaining force as a kid playing street protests across egyptian cities and also he had an exclusive chance to speak to its members. of the black bloc is an idea that came about as a reaction to the negligence of our peaceful demands and also as a reaction against the oppression of the interior ministry which received orders from the regime we stand against the oppressive and tyrant regime 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 and we will always be present in egypt even after all our demands are met however we will take on a different form the aim behind our presence is to prevent injustice in any form no one listens to our demands and the proof is the number of people who are being
4:08 am
killed. and also on journalists around siebert who believes there are plenty of reasons for such youth groups to sprout up when the country is so immensely polarized. for the last two years egypt has not been allowed to have a strong central government that is keeble or pushing the political process forward and thus the economy of the country the social cohesion and everything else as a result you have this is 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 of 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 this increasing number of casualties some of it indeed due to
4:09 am
police brutality and group calling itself the blog has a much as a new force and this latest string of clashes 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 fact that the are outside those who are trying to rather 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 particular but why would the even appeal to the youth of egypt in the first place unless there was that vacuum and there was that the need that was it created by the lack of sensuality and the lack of confidence
4:10 am
in the political process in egypt with her coming from the government or from the so-called opposition. we were shocked has shaken the catholic wild have to post ben as eggs announced have thrown in the towel a band of the months and the first papal abdication and centuries the development followed a series of sex abuse scandals plaguing the catholic church across the globe and barbara doris and child abuse complain as says the outgoing pope has failed to solve this core problem within the catholic church we believe that he other words he showed there was filth. just to the victims but he took no action he didn't discipline a single church official for hiding enabling children to 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 in boston the
4:11 am
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 we believe he sent was if you were 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
