the north korean army says a nuclear attack on the u.s. is imminent but they've officially been also rise to strike. on the warning comes as the pentagon deploys defense systems in the asia pacific amid claims its military response to pyongyang's rhetoric is disproportionate. also this hour fresh tensions between israel and palestine spawned by the deaths of the four high ranking palestinian security officer in an israeli jail all started further by the killing of at least two protesters in the west bank. hello and welcome to twenty four hour news life for most code my name is you know

main story now north korea's military says it's now officially also rise to wage a nuclear attack against the u.s. to counter what it calls washington's aggression feel young warns an explosion is imminent and war could break out today or to morrow south korean based journalist joys of kim has more now on the latest in a series of threats that. we see that they use words like the attack has been cleared or the attack has been authorized as well as the beginning of the warning they say we formally inform washington so we see that this rhetoric has actually been repeated by north korea and north korea has used this in a way to actually say we want to start dialogue it's and lag period which can use this into getting washington to come and perhaps get on that dialogue table we keep hearing from other people such as secretary general fund you moon or secretary u.s.

secretary of state john kerry that dialogue is the next step while both north korea and the united states seem to be interested in dialogue it doesn't seem that either side are wanting to back down now with april fifteenth in april fifteenth it is going to be north korea's founding father cutie's hong kong is earth day and we've seen last year that they did their first satellite launch attempt so i can i heard dick and i think as well as many experts they say that something might happen in mid april whether that will be an attack or whether there will be a celebration and easing of the tensions we aren't quite sure yet but it can be seen that historically they've done celebrations to mark to mark certain things to happen whether it was the anniversary of can each other that was the third nuclear test so we can see that something will probably happen in the next week or so so

the latest warning came out how they plan to get out as the deployment of a missile defense system and go on to prepare against a possible our time but while an assault is deemed highly unlikely in the u.s. many are questioning whether washington's actions are proportionate to north korea's war a trick he's going to check out explain. to north korea's bellicose threats washington responds with an even more intense buildup of military power in the region to that north korea responds with even more threats even though defense secretary chuck hagel called north korea real and clear danger the white house says they haven't seen any large scale movements from north korean military forces suggesting that it may be just rhetoric but while north korea talks washington acts apart from f. twenty two fighter jets and other bombers that it sent to the region for the ongoing military exercises with south korea the pentagon is now deploying an advanced missile defense system to guam a major u.s. military base in asia north korea the north korean army has announced that it has

the final approval for a nuclear attack on the u.s. as they tell us north korean rockets can't really reach the u.s. mainland but they can potentially attack u.s. bases in the region there are twenty thousand u.s. troops just across the border in south korea so could we see the worst nuclear standoff since the cuban missile crisis between the soviet union and the u.s. even though the rhetoric is probably as hostile as it's ever been no one really believes that north korea is actually going to carry out an attack north korea itself knows that if it did for the attack the united states it would be committing national suicide the united states would retaliate in a tremendous fashion north korea does not want to commit suicide i believe north korea is doing all this through it can get to a point to actually negotiate some kind of peace agreement with the united states in the u.s. media to you have all pundits basically saying the same thing that north korea is not going to strike because they know it's a suicide that they want to reach some kind of a deal with washington but they're not going to get it you have former officials

experts all saying that but with all this war talk from north korea and with u.s. military buildup in the region some say all it may take is for one of the sides to snap or some kind of a mistake before everything spirals out of control in washington. and you can also log log on to r.t. dot com and have your say on what the reasons behind the rising tensions on the korean peninsula are and let's now take a look at how you are voting at the moment so forty eight percent of you most of you believe this is a part of a u.s. strategy to destabilize china and east asia around a fifth believe that it's dangerous brinkmanship and it could well escalate eighteen percent of you saying that it's north korea's attempts to build a power a power base at home and just a small percentage of you who are saying it's beyond young's way of demanding aid from seoul and the west so head to r.t. and to participate in our online poll that.

the backlash from the death of a palestinian prisoner in israeli jail increasingly threatens the fragile peace between the neighbors so the fallout includes thousands of hunger strike as in is really a look ups rocket exchange between hamas and israel and now fierce clashes in the west buying that have already turned deadly at least two teenage palestinians were shot dead by the israeli military who fired live rounds in response to start throwing and fire bombs and as are. reports now from the west bank more violence is expected for me today will be laid to rest later on thursday. we're expecting more riots and uncertainty in the middle east so my sorrow to some d.n.a. being buried today in his hometown of hebron now there was of course that there were protests in hebron as well as a low for the entire west bank area on wednesday as well as on monday foley news of

his death while in prison in israel and a lot of palestinians accuse israeli officials of not doing anything to help the sixty four year old man who has first complained about his illness in the summer of last year he was however diagnosed or rather informed about the diagnosis just in the day ever any of this year and literally he will still he has terminal cancer and has only days left to live that of course has made a lot of folk people extremely angry in palestine this is not the first time that iran senior prisoners dying while in an israeli prison something similar has happened just in february of this year when a thirty year old palestinian prisoner died of a heart attack in israeli jail now palestinians are saying that israeli officials could help provided medical help to the two of you so media but they chose not to and of course this has prompted a very angry expressions from. the president of palestinian authority mahmoud

abbas and also from the didn't is for it the prisoner affairs of palestine who has called on international community to carry out an investigation into this case but rise as i have said continued for the last several days among palestinians there was also a very strong reaction among the palestinians for actually in israeli jails they have declared three day hunger strike as well as they have staged initial protests upon hearing of the death where they were throwing various objects and banging on their cell doors and have actually caused security in some israeli jails to use tear gas against the inmates we're getting reports that at least twenty four people however received various injuries during clashes. israeli eye with the i.d.f. on wednesday however how things will turn out today on thursday of course we have yet to see we do expect clashes to happen during the funeral which will be followed by protests down in hebron and of course we will bring you more as we get it. and.

the eldest son of the palestinian prisoner whose death led to the initial riots hunger strikes and even rocket exchanges between hamas and israel and his will have to say he was left and delays death without any treatment or anything he started to complain last august from a swell in his neck and severe in and hoarse and his voice and then egg and nothing is being done to him actually us sent to one of the clinics and he was surprised at us and up to me tourists in his stead o. for someone a specialist to do to see is getting nothing has been done to him not a single treatment bill and he said that they as if that is and all of that is for the dr to announce it cute or he in the prison or but only to give him pin pillows i think that in my father's case give us

a message to the self conscious of all the other stimulants be goes it show to us demi gelati overdue is who has to be all supposed to be very human the doctors the doctor was an excellent the doctor was in israel. the palestinian positions like this then with whom are we making peace. still ahead for you u.k. iraq war veterans come out it was shocking accounts of a secret torture camp in baghdad and we investigate what went on at the facility and how the ministry of defense is reacting to the revelations. and also america's growing use of drones is sparking protests we are in new york where a months long campaign against him kicks off that's later. but now a third death from bird flu in china has sparked concerns the virus could become epidemic if no immediate measures are taken so it's not the first time such concerns have

swept the country and he has decided to take a look at how the flu is spreading not just across the population but across the media and here are some of the headlines from previous cases of a variant of flu epidemics and the panic they caused so bird and swine flu have both emerged in recent years storming the media apparently causing more panic in the press that and hospitals and. is here in the studio with us how that exists so nice to see you history repeating like the same story here again so will this be blown out of proportion again or is it really serious it's too early to judge on this particular outbreak but we can look at the numbers of the boss to see how things can go here now if we look at the number of deaths from the bird flu we can see that in ten years less than four hundred deaths occurred to that the swine flu of course caused more deaths than that in just four years but if you look at the

regular flu which kills almost half a million people every year this basically tells the whole story that the swine flu and the bird flu are causing less the us but causing serious panic in the media and this may just be the case once again with everyone the media the analysts there is already starting to panic about the new outbreak of the virus in china. all right so why is there such a reaction to the needs that well in two thousand and ten deputy from the german parliament was going toward hard criticize the world health organization for deliberately as he put it inflating this hysteria around the swine flu about the bird flu saying that this basically is just serving for the pharmaceutical companies the same year the british medical journal and daily mail published a list of people who served as advisors to the world health organization at the

same time they had financial ties to pharmaceutical companies and even last year an independent study suggested that the death toll from the swine flu was fifteen times higher than the figure fifteen times lower story than the figure officially published by the w h o and i can give you even more personal example in two thousand and nine when i was covering the outbreak of the swine flu in ukraine which is just next door to russia here in europe people were just crazy about this whole history about the planet the drugs disappeared from the from the drug stores and i remember even the back then prime minister of ukraine you personally coming to the airport to meet shipment of the tamiflu drug which was deemed as something of a remedy for this q. eventually didn't help the swine flu outbreak was dealt with by other means but definitely this was a pretty much telling story of how it usually happens the death toll amounted to

just a few people the regular flu that year killed thousands in ukraine still the panic was there and the whole media and the whole society in ukraine was rocked by that so i guess we could see pretty much the same with the new outbreak of virus in china happening everywhere across the world. thank you very much indeed always great to have you in the studio with us and dr kahn hannan from foreign policy in focus told us china has a poor record fighting the disease and that's not likely to change. over the years china has dismantled its public health clinics tickets rule public health clinics and when the sars virus struck in two thousand and three the chinese would save tens of millions of dollars by closing these quick clinics and they end up having to spend billions of dollars in order to control the sars liars i think the effect on the economy will be if this is

a virus that breaks out or some other virus breaks out in the future i don't think that the chinese public health system is capable of dealing with it i don't think the american public health system is capable of dealing with it either there are very few public health system in the world that could deal with a serious pandemic. see and more news coming your way after the short break to stare at.

the international airport in the very heart of moscow. welcome bob this is all see the war in iraq has seen its share of abuse and military misconduct scandals most of them involving u.s. troops but recent revelations by u.k.

servicemen have put the british army in the spotlight soldiers who served at a secret detention facility in baghdad have made integrations of systematic prison abuse and torture but as point blank our reports now thought he's up here reluctant to make this information public. it was reportedly one of the most brutal u.s. run military facilities in iraq during the war but a new report by the guardian newspaper reveals the extent of british involvement at the secret facility speaking anonymously personnel from two r.a.f. squadrons and one on the air corps squadron admitted to having to camp nama one british servicemen recalls seeing a man having his prosthetic leg being pulled off and being beaten about the head with it before being thrown onto a truck others described prisoners held in cells the size of dog kennels reportedly called hotel california by u.s. army personnel allegations include detainees being routinely hooded and subjected to electric shocks the story of the secret camp nama prison is

a watershed moment for britain's involvement in the alleged abuses in iraq this time it's not just alleged victims talking about their war deals it's former soldiers talking about what they saw their problem is the people sitting in here in britain's ministry of defense don't want to hear it and those form a sub it's men that have openly tried to blow the whistle on what took place at camp nama have been gagged i do have an intimate knowledge of the activities of the charge force that i mentioned in the recent report but unfortunately due to a high court injunction which to me by the ministry of defense in two thousand and i. os he got in touch with the ministry of defense and despite ben's public allegations about what took place at camp nama this is the statement we got. we have carried out searches of our records and this is find no record so far of any complaints made by u.k. service personnel about the treatment of detainees by u.s.

personnel and to the chain of command any further evidence of human rights abuse should be passed to the appropriate authorities for investigation camp nama isn't the first time the ministry of defense has had to ward off his ations of abuse but i think the u.k. government is embarrassed by fighting all if it's to get to the bottom of things all the u.k. government is doing is is holding up the country to see signs posted around the camp nama prison a set of proclaimed the warning no blood no foul as long as an interrogator didn't make a prisoner bleed they wouldn't face disciplinary action revelations about the u.k.'s involvement in the tories facility unlikely to raise fresh questions i think it's right that the british public who've got this idealised view about the british army and british soldiers should know the reality of what is being done in iraq these people are criminals their lies and criminals and you know they should be hounded i

should be charged until the true nature of fame is brought into the light. and there's always more stories online for you including sitting on a power keg that says u.s. officials from someone with nuclear facilities story tons of rita actually waste could explode at any moment putting local residents in danger. also online getting a shock we've got the story of a bra that will stop sexual offenders in the latest defense against sexual assault so learn how.

ocean tunes overseas drone strikes on the surveillance use at home houses normally attracted the attention of accidents so groups across the u.s. and its spectrum so he was trying to breach american oil and the country's international standing now a months long and drawn complaint has kicked off with a process in manhattan oh she's wearing a brick nihilists for. a month long nationwide anti drone campaign has kicked off in the u.s. and here in midtown manhattan dozens have gathered to protest washington's use of drones for targeted assassinations overseas and domestic surveillance here at home organizers say the a.t.m. the goal of this month long campaign is to bring the widest possible public attention to the ways in which drones they say are being used to violate sovereignty due process privacy and freedom of assembly how dare they even talk a bad dreams on a domestic gas they were being reassured constantly that oh it's surgical precision

bombing it's not that's an outright lie it's supposed to target terrorists but sadly too many civilians have been killed by bestrode says well and that includes children and women we need to come to peace and you can't bomb the world to peace the u.s. has a reported one hundred drone basing sites and critics say the biggest problem is a lack of transparency campaign received an unexpected boost last month when washington's drone campaign came into question with john brennan's nomination for cia director reporting from new york marina r.t. . so the drone strike campaign is an hour the most his calls has today said how to program a fax president obama's peacemaker pure taishan that's laced have base our the controversial aspects of obama's presidency has been his escalation of drone warfare cross the muslim world it's a practice that will cement obama forever as

a war president which is perhaps why. it's so astonishing that this is the same man who also won the highest accolade for peace in the world yep it's been almost four years since brock was saying obama won a coveted nobel peace prize now one might say that obama's use of killer robots in perpetuation of many bush era war policies is america enough to revoke the prize and as of yesterday their efforts to do just that a new campaign is underway that's kind revoke his piece of board that nobel peace prize got to order to obama because he wasn't george w. bush well that's a sort of a low hurdle to get over he did get over that low bar he's certainly not w. but he is somebody who has been expanding the claims and proud of that is the work here state of the united states and one of the ways that i think you can evaluate whether it's ok for you to do something is whether they'd like to have it done to them and how they would feel about a cruise missile or

a drone strikes being exercises impunity inside their own borders from another country. like you know where to do their job or she or anything like that right. firefighters have put out a massive blaze in the capital of russia's saw the republic of chechnya the fire in a fortress story skyscraper in crossways believed to have been sparked by a short circuit his linsey france has the details around six pm local time reports came in that a large fire has started around the thirtieth floor of the one hundred forty five meter tall olympus building now that is a part of the grozny center complex that was just completed in two thousand to eleven the luxury hotel and apartment building now this building contains the
