9:00 am
north korea threatens even. after defying international sanctions and conducting a nuclear test russia joined the condemnation and the u.n. is now set for an emergency meeting hours from. iran that may allow access to a military complex which is the suspected site of nuclear experiments and that's all ahead of another round of talks with the watchdog. the black rising egypt's opposition becomes increasingly radical with a mosque movement attracting support was granted exclusive access to members of the
9:01 am
group. worldwide news live from moscow this is with me will receive and welcome to the program russia has strongly condemned north korea for carrying out an underground nuclear test and this as pyongyang threatens more measures in response to what it calls quote outrageous u.s. hostility the initial test has drawn a chorus of international criticism with the u.n. security council set to hold an emergency meeting hours from now. standing by to join us here and tell us exactly what's going with this in the north korean nuclear test an isa good to see you again russia was those members of the international community criticizing the nuclear test by pyongyang how do you think. forward and
9:02 am
approach this reclusive state. so far strong words from foreign minister sergei lavrov concerning this task by north korea urging the u.n. security council to respond immediately however at the same time warning that caution needs to be taken and escalation needs to be prevented but we still i would like to stress that north korea's nuclear test deserves condemnations we hold the move will not be used as a pretext to build up a military presence around the korean peninsula lost we believe that flexing military muscles in the region is extremely dangerous. this is as north korea is threatening further measures the reclusive state is saying this is only the beginning the first in several responses of several responses i should say to what they call outrageous hostility coming from washington now the main concern is that
9:03 am
this puts north korea one step closer to building a nuclear warhead small enough to mount on a not long range missile capable of reaching the united states and so we're seeing and we'll continue to see strong reaction in the international community. so we had that one underground nuclear bomb into us earlier this morning in earlier days certainly early moscow time it could be another one or second type of test on the way as well certainly a lot of eyes on pyongyang no one quite knows what exactly is going to come next but when it comes to the broader picture the long term picture how to deal with pyongyang the international community has tried for years they failed what could be the next step. that's right you have countries like russia pushing for dialogue and diplomacy and then partners in the west pushing for strong action what is the right way it's not for me certainly to answer it's a question that's on many people's mind is how do we go further and actually get something done this is a longstanding issue today's news of course was explosive really it has to change
9:04 am
the situation certainly that's what's expected to be on the table after you went security council and let's not forget that many people are looking at this as a direct message from new leader kim jong un to president obama just hours before he gives his state of the union address and shortly president obama is going to react to this and most likely it's going to be by once again threatening sanctions and further isolation and the big question is that enough to want to tear north korea from its nuclear ambitions and secondly is it safe if the reclusive state is in fact advancing its nuclear capabilities all right all season he said over there live in central moscow thank you. well we can always get more details on the ongoing crisis as many are calling it now it's getting global condemnation this whole nuclear test performed by north korea in the early hours of today let's discuss it further now with a professor and director of global studies at hong kong university sidemen show
9:05 am
joining us here live on the program good to see you today north korea as you may have just heard within myself with an answer no way has promised more unspecified yet decisive measures in dealing with what they call us hole still it's you how does that translate to you. well from the chinese fist it's not so and medical in the throes that is in time since the rich you know this very well beijing. two of obama's days gazed united states so even though beijing is not happy. so you're sure you're ultimately saying that china's not happy about this but it does support north korea acting in some ways to push off american hostility. well beijing best knowledge which is the only unsold in the in this region because mention is debility is to measure from the trends of who are using at this moment power over you to the rising reuters activities in japan and south korea.
9:06 am
seeing north korea as a new factor of balance against united states so it's known as the does nods call the interests of beijing and these kind of behaviors i mean would still be tolerated by beijing at this moment let some let's talk about some regional couple complications every can indeed certainly well the security situation in the whole region could countries such as south korea and japan use these tests by pyongyang perhaps as a pretext to increase their own military buildup there are many already saying it's just going to flare up more tensions in the region. does precisely what beijing is very new about the new governments of north korea of south korea and japan are just being installed and they could really make use of this excuse to mobilize their own rotors as collusion others to build up their military capabilities so it does come
9:07 am
into them beijing could also make it as their own excuse to mobilize their own military campaign and then the results could be a competition among all the powers in the region and that's more than a low. on the list let's talk about what what what did the world would prefer we've known for years now various global players have been slapping sanctions on pyongyang and they're on a path of the sanctions have had very little if no effect on the country's leadership it is it time though to change course do you think to bring back all people to the negotiating table and stay in line with international regulations or perhaps that's been tried and that's been failed as it has in the past. well there are two issues here most of all the sanctions we. would not be successful in the d.p. to have the learning on trying to support a basic lot of people and that is there might be trying to actually do any real solution if you know at this moment he does propose point and secondly north korea always wish to have a direct dialogue on the states to bypass china to do it so. and gauge to notice
9:08 am
these kind of the record because you would be so interested in it i don't think they can be going in the short of it now is just a few moments ago when you and i were talking about you mentioned that although china is not happy with young yang during this underground nuclear test certainly in that part of the part of the world you said that china understands the pressure on young from people for example from countries like america and that north korea has a reason maybe some sort of justification to defend itself but now the u.k. for example has called on china to support any possible security council resolutions all in the aftermath of this nuclear test do you think beijing is going to play along with what the west is planning or perhaps beijing will stand behind pyongyang. well it depends on the wording used in the resolution we were beijing to have been stronger condemnation of this time but just to only if the resolution means i don't need substantial donation against the regime there is
9:09 am
a monthly book version to support but we can also expect to poison a stronger condemnation than before because it does what it has done in the previous week and i. don't know but it would be ok to have a move in the standings so we can talk the measure but i don't think any substantial condemnation can be coming from the patients and our director of a global studies at the hong kong university simon shannon thank you very much indeed for your time today well we are always interested in your opinions here on our particularly on the current events over at our website r.t. dot com right now if i can just take you over to our kristie here we're asking you whether or not indeed pyongyang should be doing these kind of underground nuclear tests indeed if they're warranted as it says for its issues of national security where here are the numbers for this hour right now the majority of all voters saying well you know what north korea does have a reason to do this ultimately because well just ask saddam hussein what happened say him down now to thirty percent or alternately saying well no pyongyang's
9:10 am
reasoning is flawed due to ideology in isolation it should not be carrying out these underground nuclear tests now we got a joint joint lost position of eighteen percent is it going to be between know the members of pyongyang the officials there are men asking for war or could indeed be the other joint partner they wish they had been left an alternative so is north korea correct in pursuing national security through nuclear weapons and underground nuclear test we're still taking your polls are. for now though iran has also condemned the north korean nuclear test calling for all atomic weapons to be destroyed that's iran is self is revealed it's reducing stocks of material with the potential of becoming weaponized within. round of talks.
9:11 am
this is. more radical. calling themselves. supporters. of a possible all out war. about the group which. this mysterious group a pair around the second anniversary of the five evolution when they released this
9:12 am
statement saying they would fight the missing brotherhood and they would strive for the goals of the revolution around about that time we started seeing a young man in black bought a car this according themselves said the black bloc and they were heading up the more minutes and signs of the revolution we saw them making want to talk to my facebook pages they were giving instructions to the street fighting to take responsibility for a number of the acts of civil disobedience such as stopping public transport and also have said they were responsible for the burning of muslim brotherhood headquarters of some of them this of course has sparked much criticism from the authorities including the missing brotherhood and that the t.v. channels the prosecutor general and twenty ninth of january i said they were terrorists carry on that they would be arrested if they were caught red handed our team managed to secure interviews with this members of the secret organization. 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 receives orders
9:13 am
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 we will always be present in egypt even after or 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 killed but of course we had so much as to mock the stepping down of the ouster of hosni mubarak this of course devolved into clashes by the presidential palace much take us was throwing up protest as he responded with molotov the similar protests occurred around the country down south in the seats and now we have reports including egypt's second city in alexandria although. focus the process was definitely his most weeks by the presidential promise and indication that protest
9:14 am
is the timing to move by that means to push the regime super failed to months correspondent true now under the new egyptian constitution the black bloc is considered to be a violent group ramsey baruta north who writes extensively about the middle east things organizations like this sprout up because the country is so 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 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 of unified popular uproar against the addicted term but rather
9:15 am
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 these this increasing number of casualties some of it indeed due to police brutality and there is a possibility that in fact that they are outside those who are trying to further 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 in the political process in egypt with her coming from the government or from the

this is now iran has said that it may allow inspectors from the u.n. nuclear watchdog access to a military complex suspected of hosting atomic. well that's iran has always denied

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 transferring 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 in 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 so much in the 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 ration they wrote an s.o.s. letter to the un chief they're still waiting for an answer griffin otieno r.t.

could be a minority within fifty years. filed this report from london. 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 cine recently moved here from sri lanka and that is. my dilemma 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 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 there are a lot of genuinely decent people who do have concerns that even the labor party has discovered recently that the vast majority of people is right those who would. actually vote for the labor party have conserves about something that no government could be the leader of the opposition labor party recently admitted that his party got it wrong on immigration and. we were too quick to say.
9:25 am
like it. 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 poll after poll shows that the people living here are worried about the speed and the size of the influx. for my opinion i don't think you. need more immigrants over the moment. critics say the government is too frightened to address what britain will look like in fifty years' time it's going to look like. it's going to be a complete population change the indigenous population is shrinking anyway the younger generation and the younger muslim generation is becoming increasingly radicalized and i think it will be. twenty twenty five twenty. demographers say that if immigration continues on

countries want oil but that's kid stuff who needs oil when you could secure the world's largest supply 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 sphere 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 gordon so also made the point that president putin is rearming the russian army hinting at a threat of 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. there is is trash to get rid of. but it's also a treasure. it's worth fighting for. and the trap was no way out.
