however good evening just past nine pm here in moscow one is kevin zero in this is the first in the un says north korea is on a collision course with the world community with its for current threats against its southern neighbor and the u.s. declared a state of war with the south and vowed to restart its main nuclear reactor in response to u.n. sanctions meanwhile the u.s. moved to military hardware closer to the north coast including a warship and a sea based radar platform south korea says it will retaliate if it's attacked south based seoul based correspondent joseph kim believes that america's geopolitics in the region is firing up rhetoric. in terms of people in the capital in salt there's not much reaction or much alarm as these threats and the rhetoric from north korea has been continuous throughout the years we've seen. annual drills
1:02 pm
with south korea and the u.s. that north korea has continuously condemned and denounced them but the u.s. and south korea continually do these drills so we can see that a lot of the rhetoric these harsh rhetoric that are coming out of north korea in pyongyang are in response to these these military exercises as we mentioned a warship has come on the korean coast and now north korea has said that it will restart its run and nuclear reactor so we see that a lot of what the threats that are coming out of kenya are in reaction to the actions of the u.s. and south korea there is a lot of media hype in terms of western media with what north korea is currently doing right now and we have to actually see this as something that the u.s. perhaps is maybe thinking about in terms of their rebalance and to east asia they are in a cli trying to get back into east asia to be able to counter china and its growing
1:03 pm
powers in terms of the economy and why not use north korea north korea is a threat in what it's set and so they are using this opportunity to be able to rebalance is not terry as well as his presence here to be able to continuously monitor and gain more influence in the region whether there are to correspondent jessica was one of the few foreign john this is actually been able to report from north korea supposed mccullagh to buy much say. to be honest with you i haven't had a chance to talk to many ordinary people six years ago when i was there in north korea but i don't think the situation has changed i talk to the officials there and i didn't hear a single negative word towards south korea i got the feeling that this was more about north korea versus the west and the us rather than being against the neighbors. and i was and i thought back then i still stand by that by this thought that this conflict between the two koreas is more about something inspired from
1:04 pm
abroad rather than being an internal issue between the people of the two green of the two koreas i mean they're very close they used to be one country they used to be one empire they are divided politically by the thirtieth barrel they're not divided by any other way so i don't think there actually is so much as hostile as everyone wants them to believe what you know impression on north korea's kim mean he he's come people have said he's coming to change the if they are really going to do he has already changing you know we saw google officials in pyongyang unthinkable just five six years ago we saw dennis rodman i mean it's just maybe just a show but still he wants to show that he wants to be more open than his dad and he's pretty says he's grand was also a power he recently said he likes american computers mad computers he likes pop culture he seems pretty in touch with what's going on right now you know what when you when i like is clearly the man in his mid thirty's he's interested in everything happening in the world in particular the technology he said that the country needs to embrace the technology north korea already has internet north
1:05 pm
korea doesn't. confiscate cell phones from foreigners at the at the ports passport control like they used to do before this is a major change to what used to before the question is whether kim jong un will be the man to reunite careers and not to go to a full out war with itself let's talk about that a little bit that rhetoric this harsh rhetoric that's been going back and forth between the two koreas how likely is going to come out of that if you ask me i don't believe anything will have. and anything bad will happen any war there might be some tension there might be some border clashes and nothing more than that as long as china plays such important role in the region china is basically dictating what happens there and what doesn't happen there it's quite strange to see that the us doesn't want china to become the sole and the most important to go ca to between the two koreas because china doesn't want this war it would damage its infrastructure china is already involved in many economic projects with the south korea so as long as china is there there will be no war and china's position on
1:06 pm
that has been firm and strong there will be no war. ralitsa broken in several israeli prisons over the death of a palestinian inmate who was serving a life sentence through cancer listed in officials say israel refused to give him vital treatment but israel insists it did ask for an early release but it was already too late really as the story. he started feeling ill last summer and he has asked the authorities for check ups but they basically have done those check ups but never told him exactly what was happening and even though the man was obviously massive he lost more than fifteen kilos in less than two months they still kept him in the dark as well as his family until they told him just in march of this year that he had terminal cancer and literally had to live so the minister for prison affairs of the palestinian authority has already said that israeli actions in this instance are heinous because. the prisoner did not receive timely medical
1:07 pm
help and he also called for an international investigation into the death of up to him via now of course this is something that left a lot of palestinians incredibly angry in fact we do know at this point that in several israeli jails palestinian prisoners already staging mass actions of protests there are throwing things around and burying on their cell doors because this is not the first time that something like this has happened just in february another palestinian inmate just thirty years old died of an apparent heart attack was in jail since two thousand and two he was in prison on charges of conspiring with a hamas terrorists and he was sentenced to ninety nine years in prison and i was really fishel see that they have sent an appeal for the for the early release of a book due to his ailing health but unfortunately he died before that appeal could be processed by the israeli officials. to street clashes with police of the
1:08 pm
palestinian city of hebron. supposed to do that supports the prisoners' rights the people are used to because really actions go against international. i think the issue here is the policy that is used against the palestinian political prisoners in systematic way actually and this is the health neglect and i wasn't complaining just in the last two months or three months he was complaining about different symptoms and illness since two thousand and seven actually and the delay in doing analysis and checks and they are going no stick for his second is closed his this today and this is what we are claiming that is really prison system actually the whole policy of the health treatment in the prison service is lacking properly the correct treatment it doesn't matter what he was convicted with the fact that he was trailed and imprisoned he deserved to be treated properly according to the
1:09 pm
international standards of the three men of prisoners there that any prisoner should get inside any prison actually and is royal is the signature he took these international conventions and international treatments actually should offer these standards in their prison so i think the solidarity is with the fact that the sick prisoner was into getting proper treatment in. next tonight the environmental damage from a massive oil spill in our consort towns becoming clearer as cleanup efforts there continue the residential area was swamped thousands of barrels of crude when a pipeline burst last friday dozens of homes had to be evacuated more details know that from going to church you ken. exxon mobil is naturally trying to downplay environmental concerns they're not saying exactly how much oil spilled onto the streets of that neighborhood in arkansas but the company says it has already
1:10 pm
collected more than twelve thousand barrels of oil mixed with water from the affected area not clear how much of it was water though twenty two homes were evacuated there as they're still cleaning up the pipeline that was carrying canadian heavy crudes to the south of the u.s. this is the country's gulf coast refineries this latest spill response from critics of the proposed keystone x.l. pipeline the keystone x.l. pipeline would carry eight hundred thousand barrels per day just to compare the pipe that leaked in arkansas can carry around ninety thousand barrels a day so the consequences of a leak could be devastating the keystone pipeline would also carry canadian heavy crudes to us we're finally seeing the self the project doesn't have the final green light from the administration just yet but the oil giants involved are pushing the administration very hard to go ahead with that saying it will bring down fuel costs in the u.s. trans canada is first keystone line in the u.s. spilled the diesel a dozen times just in its first year of operation the company of course says the
1:11 pm
new keystone x.l. will be so much better but people know from experience how devastating consequences of an oil spill can be and how hard it is to clean up this is certainly not the first incident of course everyone remembers the disaster in the gulf of mexico in twenty ten when after an explosion and he had been leaking oil on the ocean floor for several months before the well was tapped an estimated four point nine million barrels of oil had leaked into the gulf three years later the gulf is still not free in july two thousand and ten a pipeline brought church more than twenty thousand barrels of canadian tar sands crude oil into the michigan waterway so this happens all the time just last week the government suggest that axe. mobil paid a fine of one point seven million dollars over pipeline safety violations and that was for an oil spill two years the coal in the yellowstone river in montana exxon
1:12 pm
has a month to contest the violations many believe that while giants get away with violations like that all too often in the west and all it takes is a team of really good lawyers to do that which the company certainly caught and that at the end of the day it's the people affected will pick up the slack in washington i'm going to check them. well that actions rig no into the debate over the use of decades old pipelines to transport increasingly large amounts of crude oil across north america let's take a look at the continent's oil transit infrastructure more than half of america's all roads to build back in the one nine hundred fifty s. and sixty's they're getting old now according to the u.s. department of transportation those figures some including the pegasus pipeline which is one the cause the trouble in arkansas this time around were constructed even before that bill is a dollar's worth of all flows through these pipelines every year in twenty eleven to five of the industries giant exxon mobil royal dutch shell b.p. conoco phillips and chevron had a combined revenue of nearly two trillion dollars congress says that turnover is
1:13 pm
equal to more than ten percent of u.s. g.d.p. but despite the huge profits the government of corporations are cutting corners when it comes to repairing and renewing infrastructure environmental consultant richard steiner says they are console pipeline is long past its use by date. there's no excuse what so ever for oil pipelines to be anything over thirty years old or general design life is maybe twenty to thirty years there's been several skills about six or seven of this heavy deluded bitumen it's called dill bit which is the tar sand oil which is so thick it can't be transported through a pipeline unless it's cut with condensate and benzene exxon has shown time and time again that they are not willing to accept responsibility legitimate financial responsibility for their actions however negligent they are they got out of the alaska spill with you know about a billion dollars paid to private thirty thousand private litigants that should
1:14 pm
have been by many of their estimations much much more than that so they have a history short changing responses so the question now who should be held accountable what should be done next after this latest but in arkansas r.t. dot com is the place where you can have your say but we think stories of course of the day including this one. this is what you're telling us so far more than half of us gone then couple of percent since last think that the u.s. government should be held accountable for this you think rope twenty seven percent think it should have implications no big keystone project that he should be put on hold a big cross country pipeline forty percent think this should be compensation without any project changes to the keystone pipeline five percent think that the project should be halted for a while but not stop completely thanks for your vote r.t. there comes the place to make that change. he.
1:15 pm
gave. me. this is out of the way made in america we report on how u.s. student plans to help the nation bypass gun control regulations by crafting weapons in the comfort of their own homes that plenty more stories just ahead. well look cool sorry it's technology innovation all the rest of elements from around rush hour we've got the future covered.

1:20 pm
how bloody the syrian conflict has become a group of armed men forced their way into the all boards neighborhood in tahlequah and killed other fifteen civilians some of these civilians were shot in the head and the torso from a short distance while others were killed with sharp ensure legs women and children were among those massacred the including a three year old girl that the authorities in opposition have accused which other official sources say that the victims of the massacre were pro-government and had previously demanded that the syrian army come to their district and had urged armed rebel groups to leave because they did not want to be caught in the crossfire between the government and rebels official sources say the massacre was actually a revenge killing as the opposition accuses these people of supporting the syrian government. for this comes off the alleged chemical attack in aleppo two weeks ago which was closely followed by a bombing in damascus that killed forty two people including a prominent cleric syrian reform campaign and i'm a white house says anyone who doesn't share the rebels ideology is now at target.
1:21 pm
the conflict is really intensifying week after week as we can notice that there is no doubt at the moment that this has turned very much into a war to bring down the syrian state this has started probably. you know from the arabs or muslims point of view to support their oppressed brothers and sisters in syria the theory was that once they go into a certain place they should be viewed as liberators from the operation of the regime or the government what turned out is that they were interviewed as liberators but as a new person force themselves so there is a huge intimidation practice that it's that is taking place at the cornerstone for the philosophy of the rebels at the moment using extreme exam ikhwan and there is no formulas for such. you know ideologies and those who do not take the view of the these armed groups they are immediately punished so that everyone else will be in a sense enough is enough for the cypriot finance minister because sarah says that
