live from the new center here in moscow this is r.t. with the online screen twenty four hours a day. the u.n. security council is usually as issued a stern rebuke to north korea over its third nuclear test as it held an emergency meeting in response to the test which was in defiance of international regulations it was ation says it plans to beef up the sanctions already in place for the country's previous atomic exercises. as more. well the u.n. security council unanimously condemned north korea's latest nuclear test there called it a defiant act and a clear threat to international peace and security her statement approved at an emergency meeting hours after pyongyang's latest underground test called the atomic blast a grave violation of three un resolutions of banning north korea from conducting nuclear or missile tests now the council also pledged further action calling

peelings latest defiant a clear threat to international peace the security council also strengthen sanctions in response to. a missile test back in december and they promised the council members promised to take significant action in the event of this new nuclear test now while there was a unanimous unanimous sentiment within the security council in the midst of this emergency meeting some members like china and russia said that the international community should tread carefully russian foreign minister sergey lavrov said that no country in the international community should not jump to quick conclusions or actions but i would like to stress that north korea's nuclear test deserves condemnations we hold the will not be used as a pretext to build up a military presence around the korean peninsula we believe that flexing military muscles in the region is extremely dangerous now u.s.

president barack obama also warned that both tuesday's tests and earlier satellite launches are provocations according to the u.s. president and he threatened further swift and credible action against pyongyang u.n. chief on ki-moon also condemned the nuclear test calling it deplorable of the test was also criticized by many others including britain japan france the e.u. the i need a north korean diplomat john young wrong also told the u.n. disarmament forum in geneva recently that his country quote will never bow down to any. solution and that was in response to criticism that nuclear test violated several u.n. security resolution now pyongyang has also said that if the u.s. response to the test with hostility then aren't specified quote second and third measures may follow it seems as though if you just base that on the patterns that are taking place that north korea is not backing down despite any threat of

resolutions or sanctions. report with the latest on north korea's nuclear test and we've got a timeline to give you up to date on all the latest reactions and developments on that issue at all t. dot com. so the u.n. security council condemning that north korean nuclear exercise with pyongyang now facing the threat of further isolation director of global studies at hong kong university simon shen says that while beijing joined the world wide criticism of the test and let it stand by the secretive state in the face of serious sanctions beijing does knowledge which has the end slowed in the in this region because you know stability is the major transit engine at this moment however. the rising right activities in japan and south korea in. beijing is seeing more korea as a new factor of balance against the united states so it's not going to be ok does

nods call the interests of beijing and these kind of behaviors i mean would still be tolerated by beijing at this moment so as the new government is up south korea and japan are just being installed and then of course the. excuse to modernize their own rotors as collusion was to build up their military capabilities so. beijing could also make it. to mobilize their own military campaign and then the results could be a competition among all the powers in the region and that's not something that. iran has also condemned the north korean nuclear test calling for all atomic weapons to be destroyed tehran itself has revealed it's reducing stocks of material that has the potential of becoming weaponized with another round of talks just around the corner but a breakthrough may not come quick enough for some iranians who are seeing their health care hit by international sanctions a report on that for you just ahead this hour on r.t.

. egypt's opposition is turning more radical as protests become increasingly violent and then it is movement of most men calling themselves the black bloc is attracting more supporters is threatening isn't authorities and sparking fears of a possible street war true as in cairo and tells us about the group which has given r.t. exclusive access. this mysterious group appeared round the second anniversary of

generosity five evolution when they released this statement saying they would fight the missing brotherhood and they would strive for the goals of revolution around about the 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 molotov said on my facebook pages they were giving instructions for street fighting it taking 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 intent of january i said they were terrorists agree 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 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 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 of course we had so much to mock at this 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 it's a similar protest occurred around the country down south in a suit and now we had reports creating egypt's second city in alexandria over. the focus of the class was definitely as is most weeks by the presidential palace an

indication that the protest is a turning to more violent means to push the regime to fulfill their demands. under the new egyptian constitution the black bloc is considered a violent group political activist ahmed says there's a reason for the opposition to be so desperate. just cause they're trying to portray themselves as a vigilante but the true anger behind it's the frustration from the lack of social justice the lack of fulfillment of the demands of the revolution so it's a true anger among certain groups of youth but then their frustrations in violence so that this could turn to peacefulness of the egyptian revolution which was which resonated all around the world with a lot of positive connotations the first reactions from the muslim brotherhood is that they will create something called the white bloc in order to respond to that

pressure from the black bloc now both of them will be deemed. illegal groups if that happens but i'm not concerned about the violence being organized among different structures of the society however how it's being employed on the street to falsify the collective perception of people through media the situation that egypt is becoming a lawless state and it's becoming a failed state both on the economic level and the security level egyptians by nature are not violent and these are tactics being employed so that egyptians grow desperate all the time with all the crises economic crises and all sorts of course all around the country egypt. collectively people start thinking that the muslim brotherhood is doing a lousy job which more or less they are doing a lousy job however it's to push people to beg the military council for

a cool so that they can kick out the muslim brotherhood to justify the military overtake of the government. live from moscow this is r t still ahead in the program is when back to work policies all working a court rules that the british government's program easy job of sickness was unlawful to discuss what's wrong with the u.k.'s ways of tackling the problem when we go live to london in the next few minutes also. a big speech with little space for some crucial issues president obama prepares his state of the union address focusing on the prosperity of the average american not the terror of weeks body average drone strike that's one of those opinions later in the program on ulty. will be. funny it's technology innovation all the news developments from around russia we've got the future covered. you know how sometimes you see

a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcome to the big picture. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images before it has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations are all today.

much juggling just. do hack work and get caught when lobbyists money and lawmakers are combined together that's where the problem of corruption comes from. the document's. keep up a smart look. there is also. another world behind that which is how to influence the institutions steer clear of provocations don't answer any question. came into the office and found banners hanging around the office and lots of strange faces around and said what's what's happening will somebody please tell me what's going on and they

said oh we've come to occupy your building. possibly they want to do a confrontation possibly they wanted me to ring up the police have the police come in through the mail but it didn't seem to me a good idea to learn the european way with brussels business and in the crossing it's one person one fault but in brussels business it's one euro one fault. this continues here naughty british government policies to tackle unemployment to taking a hammering with a court ruling that a planned forced labor program was unlawful and it looks like taxpayers will be left to foot the bill for mistakes made by m.p.'s well let's talk about this with.

she joins me now live in london sarah tell us what happened today. well an interesting case bill but a complicated one and one that ultimately saw university graduate kate riley and forty year old jamison wilson succeed in their claims that their unpaid works that they were made to take part in was indeed a little for them but was taking place in the court of appeal today and the argument was that the surrounding issues will eagerly flawed so they were successful and a small but significant victory now the law is that willing say it could mean that thousands of people who have their benefits stripped from the under similar circumstances in this government work program could we claim that money that could leave the door open to millions of pounds compensation that would be footed by the

taxpayer of course that's causing a lot of concern that the d.w.p. is saying that they are not going to be coughing up any cash whatsoever in our teeth on its own investigation into the work program it's been hugely controversial program a lot of problems in response to what's the government has said that it was ridiculous to suggest that there were any problems with the work program and that it wasn't helping people get back into work but look this is all being quite embarrassing for the government today now this week was more about this i'm joined by amery o'reilly for the political work there program thank you very much for joining us a small victory tesing so far enough because on the surface of it it seems like a big deal and when. obviously the people involved in that but is this going to be as hard hitting as far reaching well today's ruling is really significant and for us it shows that workfare forced unpaid work in the u.k. isn't just wrong it's also been on lawful so that means every single person who's

been sent on these schemes in the last two years was sent on them unlawfully and the tens of thousands of people who faced really extreme hardship and pose. destitution but having their money stopped as a result of not participating may well be entitled to claim that money back but you're right it doesn't go far enough the still a lot to be done one of this my significant schemes mandatory work activity is still intact and really disturbingly the government threatening to bring emergency regulation through to bring workfare straight back in this when just today the schemes are found illegal when they've been riddled with corruption allegations from the start and the government's own research shows that has no effect on helping people find work there's a really interesting point and bill right now you can guarantee that the government lawyers are going to be poring over the details of this ruling and they're going to be looking now for permission to appeal the decision that was made today sort of the u.k. welfare system was criticized for allowing jobless people to be actually better off

than those who are in work. well look that's a fair criticism and one of the government always levies it's the old government argument strivers versus skivers it's not an unfair point you know there are millions of people unemployed here in the cave and of course the imperative is getting them back to work i don't think anyone's the jesting that these people shouldn't be put back to work but i think it's the rhetoric that surrounding it and indeed the figures as we said r.t. did their own investigation and the figures just do not add up the percentage of people who are actually getting jobs in this program we're incredibly full of but it was worse than doing nothing a tooth so really the figure is quite shocking but you're right this is a fair assertion and one that was put as an incomplete but was there it's hugely controversial loads of criticism about these government work schemes but they are schemes that are employed in the governor's quite right getting people back into jobs are they not like unemployment in the u.k.

the moment is a huge huge issue but the government nice that these schemes don't work its own research shows they have zero effect on helping people find work possibly worse in doing nothing and. instead of helping create jobs what they're doing is replacing paid work by handing big business like our gas tesco poundland hundreds of thousands of hours of unpaid work effectively replacing jobs that would exist if these schemes weren't in place not only that the government is using these schemes to massage the unemployment figures because when people are forced to work without pay on the schemes they can't count them as having a job a very strange definition of having a job where not a single person is receiving a wage for them it does seem in this in this country where there is this divide and you listen to what the government say this guy has versus drives you obviously do with a lot of the people who are on this work program and you hear their stories and we've spoken to some of them ourselves and what is the reality for someone who's put on this program i mean it's an extremely demoralizing reality in mice cases the

private companies who are being hunted billions by the government do close to not. i think help people find work often see their role of bullying people into doing things that they know i won't be helping them in their journey back to work and we've seen since the government started these schemes sanctions tripple so what it means in practice is people forced into dire hardship possible destitution because the benefits of being stopped i mean it's absolutely shocking in the twenty first century that we've seen the government illegally forcing people to work in big business without pay and that's something we're going to keep challenging and tell all the scheme to start thank you very much for joining us today well for one graduate who is on that work program certainly a small but significant victory and if the if that k. fed today it certainly means that the government now has to go back to the drawing board when it comes to their work so thanks very much indeed for that salty sort of live in london. for the news now despite the concerns of israel the

u.s. and its western allies iran denies it is developing atomic bombs under the cover of a civilian nuclear program meanwhile the international sanctions are hitting the lives of iranians in need of medicine. has found out. behind the smile lies pain and despair a bass in the 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 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 with public they're not directly targeting the from a suited medical sectors but they have bangs the case trade restrictions tassimo
