9:01 am
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. . 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 certainly among those members of the international community criticizing the nuclear test by pyongyang how do you think . forward and approach this reclusive state. so far strong words from foreign minister sergei lavrov concerning this task by north korea
9:02 am
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 we do this but 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 as north korea is threatening further measures the reclusive status 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 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
9:03 am
that one underground nuclear bombings 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 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 you'd have to change the situation thirty that's what's expected to be on the table at the u.n. 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
9:04 am
he gives his state of the union address and surely 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 isn't 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 the associate professor and director of global studies at hong kong university sidemen show joining us here live on the program good to see you today north korea as you may have just heard between myself and he said no way has promised more unspecified yet decisive measures in dealing with what they
9:05 am
call us hole still it's you how does that translate to you. well from the chinese this is not some and not a common proof rose that is in time since the rich you know this very well beijing . ok 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 does not wish to see any unsold in the in this region because mention is the ability is the major transit cooperation at this moment however due to the rising reuters activities in japan and south korea in the reason beijing is seeing now korea has a new fact to balance against you know understates so it's known as the does nods
9:06 am
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 if we 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 aging is very new birds since the new governments of north korea and japan are just being installed and there could be misuse of the excuse to mobilize their own rotors as collusion others to build up their military capabilities so that committed them beijing could also matured 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 there's more than a low. on the list let's talk about what what do the world would prefer we've known
9:07 am
for years in our 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 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 the jewish use most of all the sanctions. would not be successful. to have the learning on trying to support the basic life. and that is there might be which i mean if you do any real solution against it at this moment because people's point and secondly korea always wish to have a direct dialogue to bypass china to do it so it is kind of. and gauge the united states of the record because you would be so interested to read and i do then they can be going to the shore now just a few moments ago when you and i were talking about you mentioned that although
9:08 am
china is not happy with during this underground nuclear test certainly in that part of the part of the world you said that china understands the pressure on killing young from people for example from countries like america and that north korea has a reason and 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 of the resolution we were beijing to have been stronger condemnation of this time but you know just only if the resolution means a need substantial donation against the regime there is 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. a dialogue with the. two have
9:09 am
a mutual understanding so we can talk the measure but i don't think any substantial condemnation 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 r t 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 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
9:10 am
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. 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.

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 a 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 suit and now we have reports pleading egypt's second city in alexandria all the. focus the consciousness definitely is most weeks by the presidential promise and indication that protest is the timing to move by that means to push the regime to fail by demands our correspondent bell true under the new egyptian constitution the black bloc is considered to be

police brutality and there is a possibility that in fact that the 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 so-called opposition. are there still ahead for you here on the program on. migrants are charging more than any other european country that's according to the
