north korea launches a missile into the sea of japan provocatively what do the united states and south korea do they launch their own missiles exactly in the same provocative way into the sea of japan there's no moral superiority here there's no presence of more moral superiority it's like a childish playground fight where somebody hit somebody and then somebody has to hit someone back it's it's you know a tooth for a tooth and nail for a nail and donald trump has made very clear what he thinks about the situation that would will be any compromise it will be donald trump urging the chinese to apply pressure on north korea and its the american effort here the american plan consists of forcing north korea to back down whether north korea wants to or not and that is in sharp contrast to what russia and china said yesterday their proposed plan you know to solve this crisis here it is the side suggest north korea voluntarily
2:03 am
declares a moratorium on nuclear tests and missile launches and that the u.s. and south korea refrain from joint drills. the message is simple you stop doing provocative things and you stop doing provocative things it takes two to tango two to deescalate and that is what russia and china are urging that all sides involved carved out bad down and all of this will stop but they also mentioned that you know these constant tests of these constant war games they only feed each other then you have the american missile defense system that stationed in the area that does nothing to deter north korea in its pursuit of nuclear weapons in its pursuit of ballistic missiles all it does is stimulate north korea because it needs weapons that can defeat america's missile shield which is stationed on its doorstep and threatens not only north korea but china and russia in here in you have

a problem the united to the american say that they're dedicated to peace in the region yet everything seemingly that they've been doing has achieved the exact opposite. i don't here's what i've got to have thank you. we talked to us several analysts about how u.s. involvement in the north korean crisis has influenced its resolution. a lot. more. and more certain. and this is why. i think i think u.s. and south korea are doing is basically flexing their muscle to we're not afraid of the three hour we also have bad weapons but what they're doing is is answering fire
2:05 am
with fire in a region that is a powder keg slightest miscalculation on the korean peninsula can trigger a conflict that basically my entire region. track old war that could have catastrophic consequences not only for the region but also for the global economy and that is not in any trials. just two days to go before the g twenty summit starts in hamburg it seems world leaders aren't going to get the warmest of welcomes the host city has already been in gulf protests. police dispersing the crowd fully in riot gear a pepper spray and water cannons rule so used against the anticapitalist activists officers of clear calm which protesters set up in one of the city's parks all several of them we understand. now ahead of the key gathering one activist group has even created
2:06 am
a special platform called welcome to hell and the coals to protest have been backed with promo videos like this one. all sorts of groups of united under the banner of hate towards the g. twenty summit as a metal workers union that runs youth programs then the bloc of wise oldies made up of over fifty five's followed by the youth union of the german socialist party and the environmentalists animal climate action and shops are also getting in on the action selling protest merchandise as modeled. well the anti globalism activists are not the only ones who have been preparing for the protests the authorities have as well aside from
2:07 am
a heavy police presence two special security zones have already been set up in hamburg police classing the summit has a major challenge with at least eight thousand protesters expected on the streets. as the german security authorities are preparing with great diligence for their biggest police operation this year this of course concerns the hamburg police which is strongly supported by the state police and the federal police might have become much more radical because the police is also doing a big huge mistake by escalating everything quite in the beginning showing a really hard line and this is basically what the protesters are not accepting was decided that the protesters can stay with their camp inside of part and of course they have to overnight there because most of these protesters and young people they cannot afford that message expensive hotel prices or hamburg nobody was thinking of that suddenly it's not allowed to them to overnight in that tent and without any

reason they were just taking away all the demonstrators and their right to be. in this park and basically this is a kind of escalation which definitely relieved into the wrong direction. the e.u. has announced more funding for italy which is struggling to handle a new wave of migrants coming from africa however along with the united nations calling for other european states to share the responsibility of housing the refugees. peter all of our looks at how the blocks migrant policies seem to be driving its members apart. the european union is there to promote all the good stuff freedom a strong economy and the shared values of member states however all is not rosy in the garden right now thanks i.
2:09 am
crisis which peaked in twenty fifteen is again and when the new desperately needs a unified solution what it's got is individual nations looking out for their own interests it's really wants to close its ports to all but italian boats bringing migrants not softer around twelve thousand people arrived on the shores in just the last few days while e.u. h.q. says they're willing to help the word coming out of rome is it's just not enough. we do believe we can to leave either italy or greece on its own. i'd like to say that i want to help italy to address this issue there is anger that we had left the
2:10 am
czech republic has taken twelve poland and hungary have taken here and exactly not good enough now austria wants to deploy troops and armored vehicles to the border infuriating italy border controls and an army deployment will be necessary. unjustified and unprecedented initiative will lead to repercussions poland hungary and the czech republic all want no part in accepting refugees and not seeing them slammed by e.u. top brass who say that they're showing a lack of unity among. some countries need to do more to do their share in distributing the refugee poland hungary and the czech republic have not accepted a single refugee from italy or greece humanitarian crisis is just terrible and the european union. things look very grim for poor it's. the
2:11 am
european union has been since inefficient and the whole. situation i think it is a sense that european countries. they need to be seeking this in back into their own hands and they need to criticise her for these influences held in her we have said we don't want migrants in our country we cannot walk out of them and completely have the right to do so i think that. right to determine for themselves which migrants they want to grab for it is not to depend on brussels to dictate who should be coming to their country. british people don't believe most limbs living in the country have integrated properly that's according to a new independent report by citizens u.k. it highlights government failures to combat prejudices among society towards muslims the document is seventy six pages long but we've condensed the main findings into thirty seconds. the british government and u.k.
2:12 am
muslims suffer from a broken relationship anti muslim prejudice should be treated as a hate crime is something akin to anti semitism. britain needs a better anti radicalization strategy involving more muslim inputs the current one isn't trusted and isn't working on new content strategy will challenge the extremist idea to store the magic isolation from. the media needs to stop treating muslims as victims friends stop creating in us and them mentality that should get guidelines. on the back of the latest wave of anti muslim sentiment expressed in british tabloids boy has been finding out what people in london make of it all. i wanted to show you some of these headlines and ask you what you make of them. one hundred five great muslims
2:13 am
sympathy for jihad and. what do i think of that. load of baloney. because what i think is hard to say. because i don't know how accurate describes this do you think missives are imported fairly in the media in the u.k. . you know normally you don't have to say muslims this is the stuff to report that has been. done to him. which is people to understand what's happening in the war and you think the newspapers sometimes make it sound. of the stupid to believe that's all muslims are to those disses this is this is faith this is no through which the bits of a danger for everybody you know because once he starts to retype into the four. it can become a reality. as it were do you think that there should be more regulation
2:14 am
that journalists should be given more rules about how to report on muslim specifically obviously i'm not looking then you can do about the regulation i believe so yes i agree completely with that that not threaten press freedom. press freedoms friend anyway so hard to pull off thing is just common sense. you know be provocative when you're dealing with something like this when journalists. go too far and do a live report something that's not accurate for the facts of selling paper or whatever i personally think that that journalist should be struck off to the watch they have to watch people if they have to to look in full for the truth because it is always fun somebody to this this issue is often coming that you were in when we lived and we invited various guests with opposing views to come and. the problem we have at the minute with muslim integration into the u.k.
2:15 am
is that not only have we got incredible amount of media corruption manipulation skewing far right leanings the rise of the far right across the media and activists cams this report suggests is that there is a responsibility on british society to help integrate to approach muslims not suspects not as terrorists but the problem we have is over and over again will be given examples of muslim extremist terrorism we hear about burkas we'll hear about muslim radicalization of this report looks at it through the wrong end of the telescope i believe some muslims seek to have no relationship whatsoever with british society they have chosen not to integrate it why should it be up to british society to extend to them when they are quite a section of them are quite clearly not interested in our traditions and respecting our laws reality is this are well integrated a british society muslims are here to stay we are not anywhere you will not get to
2:16 am
shut the borders down and overwhelming as we saw your general election there i look i mean the movement i honestly i don't think you know show me the corner left looking for social well then what i like managed and looking for this looking for change looking to get your parents talking about foreign policy austerity i'm trying to point out that there's a section of those limbs who seem to have a problem with so much that characterizes britain modern british society the pluralism the acceptance of people who have different sexual preferences the except i mean the desire to have shari'a law which apparently one in three muslims want that seems to me essentially inconceivable with a desire to integrate anti muslim hysteria is being fuel is being pumped primed in british society led by the media and far right hate preachers no it's just i totally deal with the facts of the matter it is the larger us it's a section of radical islamists who have brought fear. her to the streets of this united kingdom i believe in a free press that has the right to say whatever it wants
2:17 am
a free press that can report modern. british media demonizing and passing the religious minority on in fact the european commission have recommended regulation of the british media because of as they say overwhelming islam a fabian racism. international kind of a reportedly set to pay eight million dollars compensation to a convicted killer because you spent some time in guantanamo about. income inequality. gerrymandering the political districts polarization. in congress these are well documented trends going. and no there really cute to the point where people describe the system is being seized with a kind of. what we see
2:18 am
on television left wing the sick kids left wingers out there and they're shutting down professors from speaking at colleges shutting down colleges. this is an example of them being. passé become little dictators yes and this is a link to the fact that. they were completely shielded from any of the so-called dangers of life kept in a bubble and so when they become young adults anything that disrupts a loud sound like a professor saying something that doesn't agree with them they go into shock they go into stuff like meltdown. with us today in a rather controversial move kind of a. is reportedly set to pay eight million dollars compensation and apologize to

2:20 am
in front of me he was abused and screamed at and shouted at spat at and stripped naked and his his treatment was was was a war crime there's no the way to describe it the whole issue in the beginning had been the canadian government complicity in his torture it's this book recorded video evidence that the government was physically present that sent members of ceases the intelligence services to go and interrogate him while he was a child while he was suffering from these horrific wounds and everybody who's in guantanamo soldiers guards and prisoners knew that this is not the way to treat a child since two thousand and two almost eight hundred people have been held at guantanamo bay which despite a vile by barack obama that he would close it is still open today a person of forty one people are held by many of the inmates who were detained without trial and work tortured or we understand nine have reportedly died there. however when it comes to the issue of compensating
2:21 am
a former get my detainee and convicted murderer a former pentagon analyst michael maloof believes it's outrageous to hand over cash to a killer the reality is he should not be compensated he did kill and americans and he worked with his father who was closely mike to al qaeda and osama bin laden is just lucky he was picked up and was in the still alive today and he should just move on and for the traduced government to prepare a liberal progressive government to come out and offer compensation as they did a few years ago to another canadian who was similarly in get low i think is. over the top i think that the fact that the family of the soldier who was killed is going to canadian court now to retrieve that money and to pay them for
2:22 am

foreign investors for the moment the policy announced by the chinese communist party earlier in the year has prompted caution amongst nato nation bankers to be quotable investors need time to do the research on the names to get approvals to put systems in place you know can have a flood of capital coming within a couple of days it is small that small net positive some might say the approval of overseas investment in chinese government debt is a seismic shift in the global economy so why not more caution from those who support china about a possible loss of sovereignty over its government debt and why so much caution from bankers in the city of london and wall. streets maybe because of new and statements like this one president xi jinping speaking at one of near liberalism's key and you'll summits the voices against. your heart has laid bare the pitfalls in the process of economics. and we need to take that
