12:01 pm
hello good evening it's just turned seven here in moscow you're watching international now after three years of being isolated from the outside world does hope the syrians india is ill the army is battling to take it from islamic state and r.t. has filmed exclusive video from inside the besieged city. so . you are just going to. keep doing the same thing i will probably. be. the. woman that i've seen and the. as you can see there the conditions inside the city of dire after years of terrorist oppression but a sickness as it sees including food is scarce in the u.n. humanitarian agencies concerned vital medical help is not getting through in fact
12:02 pm
right now the only way to get emergency supplies to civilians is through air drops is we're trying to as more details. it's not the mariana trench or an active volcano but still one of the least accessible places on our planet syria's dear resort a city that's been completely encircled by islamic state for some three years thank you. although it almost seems impossible but the only way to get into the city is by plane but it means risking your life one r.t. contributor did just that getting exclusive access to the neighborhood of besieged a resort right here just hundreds of meters from the front line at first glance these exclusive pictures seem they could be from any middle east city but that's
12:03 pm
far from that here's what locals who have gotten used to going to that are out of a job that there was. simply. many of them are going mortars left shelling craters rubble blood on the ground you can find scenes like this all over war torn syria but here in des resorts the disaster is totally and it's capable the city are completely cut off there's been times which have been very dire but has said local support has been key especially to the tribes in the division they have been key to holding out and at the moment it's very similar and drops are happening and people forget that the siege has been very difficult for the deescalation zone has helped the situation and there is or as well see these power shoots that's food
12:04 pm
in essential is being delivered today resorts basically the only way possible you don't have to be you an expert to realize how bad things are when it comes to the. water and food situation here when you're inside the city the camera doesn't lie about the consequences of the siege the u.n. estimates some ninety thousand people remain trapped in their resort today we can't tell how many are left but they're still there hoping to forget what it's like to have islamic state as their only neighbors. donald trump says that north korea made a very wise and well reasoned decision in not striking the u.s. island territory of kwara and the attack would have been catastrophic and also an acceptable u.s. president's comments to come just a day after pyongyang said it would hold off on strikes we can have a look at what was said here the north news agency claim became jong will will quote watch a little more the food and conduct of the young king did however say that
12:05 pm
military action is still a very real possibility meanwhile america's approach to the crisis has left its allies in the world it is. now expects. before donald trump even taken office he already laid out a clear strategy for dealing with threats to america we are totally predictable we tell everything we're sending troops we tell them we're sending something else we have a news conference we have to be predictable well south korea washington's key partner in asia didn't bank on the tactic also being used on them we think that know the the american government has moved from strategic patience. into strategic confusion well here's where that confusion might be coming from let's see if we can follow the trump team's statements over the course of about a week they will be met with fire if you. sleep
12:06 pm
well tonight. the. rhetoric of the. break we the people who were question think that statement was too tough maybe it wasn't tough enough this president will no longer put up with a piece of what he loves a peaceful solution better than president trump that i can tell you were due to be interested in finding. following these mixed messages from washington the unpredictable. certainly happened the tensions have now got beyond yang in seoul somewhat agreeing with each other the u.s. should first show through actions if they wish to ease tensions on the korean peninsula and prevent a dangerous military clash a government will put everything on the line to prevent another war on the korean peninsula and when it comes to the question of whether or not the united states wants to resolve the korean nuclear issue peacefully seoul says that it is on the
12:07 pm
same team as washington the south korean government and the u.s. government don't have a different position on the peaceful resolution of the crisis in south korea really be sure given that it's rather unclear what exactly trump really wants this is because there is no policy. this is because trying doesn't sit down with his cabinet and say ok let's strategize. for the contingencies that we've guy and then once we've got this this policy then we always hear that policy and our public our public statements reflect that that doesn't go on i mean the president makes his statement and he doesn't consult anybody does more than anybody and then you do catch up. with the secretary of state trying to settle nerves and of course the defense department gets jealous and the state
12:08 pm
department this is what happens when nobody's into troll you have to wonder if south korea isn't starting to get just a little bit annoyed after all their lives hang in the balance as the white house word games continue mopp and r.t. new york well despite tensions easing slightly in recent days a u.k. based think tank has warned that britain should be prepared for a potential war between the u.s. and north korea with wal-mart has your space. it's an independent defense and security think tank very well regarded and they've written this report which is urging civil servants to start preparing rice away for the possible declaration of war between the u.s. and north korea here's the essence of what the report says and you korean war is now a real possibility if war did begin the president would be on the form to turn downing street within an hour asking for support what hole needs to be preparing now for
12:09 pm
a range of possible scenarios that could unfold in the coming months what led receipts to produce this report was the opinion of its author that says that north korean technical advances combined with what it calls the volatile and impulsive personality of president trump are a dangerous combination and although experts say that a north korean missile could potentially reach london there isn't really a palpable sense of panic in the media or in the street but that is in direct contrast to what we're seeing elsewhere in the u.s. we're hearing from companies that make bomb shelters they say that they're seeing an uptick in the number of orders particularly from japan but also domestically in the u.s. where families are burying bomb shelters in their garden in preparation for what could be a nuclear attack meanwhile in the u.s. territory of which of course has been the target of the recent aggressive rhetoric from north korea they had
12:10 pm
a terrible shock wave and i when radio stations accidentally broadcast an emergency warning residents to go to facebook to express that just in the emergency alert system on the day that we were expecting missiles to be launched on a week is a perfect way to koos most hysteria why would you test a civil danger warning on the day we are expecting to get bumped and not indicate that it's a test this is freaking me out. back here in london they re see is warning that if the worst. it's happened the prime minister which have a maximum of a few hours to decide what position it would be or not and what kind of support she can offer and that is a particular worry is of course many senior civil servants condit to a matter much closer to home. when in fact the threat could come from further away . your smith reporting earlier we spoke with the former pentagon official michael
12:11 pm
balloon and he thinks that joint military efforts between washington and seoul will further aggravate the situation on the peninsula. there is going to be an impending south korean u.s. military exercise within the next week or so of south korea if south korea is sincere maybe they should postpone the as a signal to north korea that they are sincere about deescalate tensions on the peninsula i haven't heard that yet and and what i'm concerned about is if they proceed with that those military exercises there will be yet another catalyst for kim jong un to start rattling the sabers again. now the u.s. envoy to the u.n. he has signaled that the u.s. is not beyond abandoning the iran's nuclear deal the u.n. meanwhile insists that the international community must do everything in its power to ensure the greenman to help. iran cannot be allowed to use the nuclear deal do
12:12 pm
hold the world hostage the nuclear deal and become too big to fail the u.n. secretary general antonio considers the iran nuclear deal to be one of the utmost diplomatic achievements in our collective search for peace and security we need to do whatever we can to preserve it her comments come after the iranian president warned earlier this week that his country could backtrack on the two thousand and fifteen agreement in short order should further sanctions be imposed by the u.s. i gotta tell you watch out for you the u.s. administration is willing to repeat previous experiences iran will certainly within a short period not of the scale of weeks or months but on the scale of our return to a much more advanced position than when the talks started earlier this month president trump signed a fresh wave of sanctions against iran into law a move to iran considers to be a violation of the nuclear agreement under that deal iran officially agree to halt parts of its nuclear program in exchange for western countries lifting thanks and
12:13 pm
against them and at the time they groom it was viewed as a landmark diplomatic achievement by most major world powers including all those who had signed on to it russia of course is one of the signatories and its foreign minister has warned that u.s. sanctions against iran could in fact undermine the regional balance established by the j.c. p.o. a. unilateral sanctions are illegal in principle but when those sanctions are used to get advantage in a carefully collaborated balance and such a balance has been reached off the iran nuclear do these are irresponsible actions that can undermine this balance the u.s. shouldn't use such provocation here we are talking about an individual's national interests but about the interests of a whole region where we are trying to secure non-nuclear status the recent sanctions were approved despite washington having confirmed that iran has in fact stayed in compliance with the terms of the deal and at this point. both sides have accused the other of violating the quote spirit of the agreement iran for carrying
12:14 pm
out rocket test and the us for imposing new sanctions but of course the two countries also claim no infractions have occurred on their parts meanwhile the threats to vacate this monumental agreement continue to fly and fact escalate in severely leaving the future of it unclear so to come this hour brussels is spending millions of euros to tackle negative notions about the you will tell you about the plan just after this break. and what else seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to see. this day come out to. end in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
12:15 pm
what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. somehow wanted. to be for us this is what was before three of them or can't be good. interested always in the water. but again the commander in charge of the libyan national army has been explaining the help and hindrance of foreign states and the conflicts that's plaguing his
12:16 pm
country general. huffed has been in moscow and spoke exclusively with. russia is a friendly state to us we have long term historical relations and we have fully and in detail describe to russia what is going on in our country we trust each other and conceal nothing we've given full information concerning our political and military spheres i think we have coherence on always russia has never refused us its political support it has influence on the international arena that's why we asked them to promote the softening of unjust resolution dollars which were adopted regarding the embargo on supplying arms to libya. it's really created a barrier outside its territorial waters to send migrants back to the libyan coast but this is absolutely wrong they want to concentrate all migrants on the libyan coastline this is after all migration and we shouldn't turn it into colonizing it
12:17 pm
would be better to tackle the root of the problem the technical capabilities of the borders need to be developed with help from other countries that the europeans have to be responsible and participate in meeting the challenge of adequately equipping libyan border guard if they want to prevent illegal migration they should reduce weapons import constraint italy's dealing with transporting arms fire tunisia and algeria but unfortunately some libyan parties get these arms and of course this is part of increasing pressure on the libya and this is supporting terrorism instead of fighting it all the. way. we conduct business transparently with state to take the initiative france took the initiative to mediate rebuilding our state.

philadelphia in new jersey and camden cumberland boster hundred mercer and salem in delaware can't in newcastle including upper delaware bay and in maryland including as a deep bay north of fools island this concludes the weekly test of noah weather radio all hazards station k h twenty eight in philadelphia pennsylvania thank you for listening to no weather radio all hazards. there are currently three governments simultaneously trying to pull libya but that isn't counting tribal leaders and various islamist groups setting up their own to fact the laws of the land it's been six years since major's intervention to oust colonel gadhafi but now it's another military commander emerging as a key player on the political scene the intervention in libya has been an unmitigated disaster in a state of confusion and failed state
12:20 pm
status which libya. now possesses all power comes out of the barrel of a gun journal half darla's a lot of guns short of in his fight against the extreme islamist elements well able to use it we have to after all this blood the hope for someone like him to take the reins of power and rebuild the libyan state it's come full circle so libya could be about to go full circle with the possibility of a military man once again taking the reins. now the e.u. is on a charm offensive at the moment to reduce the spread of u.s. skepticism across the broad in fact it is spending nearly three million euros and eighty for projects in the money's being spent in several member states with more than half a million actually going to ten projects in britain alone that's despite voters
12:21 pm
there are choosing to quit the e.u. more than a year ago and it might actually be money down the drain if the recent poll is anything to go by because that suggests that over two thirds of people in the u.k. now i want to leave while only twenty two percent want the government to ignore the brics it results in fact a stronger vote than before but if. you have using taxpayers' money to try to indoctrinate its citizens. they just see it as this huge wave of an educated populace and they're the clever and intelligent ones and they know better well that kind of attitude is just going to get them deeper and deeper into trouble this is an opportunity for them to wake up in this and they're not taking it they're trying to reeducate in through trying to use our money to indoctrinators into thinking or feeling differently it's not going to work i think the twenty third of june twenty sixth was an opportunity that was
12:22 pm
a wake up call for the european union for them to sit up and for them to actually say what do our citizens really warm what do they expect from these institutions and how can we change to make them feel more like like this is a democratic institution as time goes by we're going to see more and more distrust and more more problems within the european union a lot of it will be of their own making. a video has been released of israeli police raiding a hospital in east jerusalem they were apparently trying to arrest a palestinian man who had been critically wounded the action they were in fact prevented him from undergoing an operation a medical staff say that resulted in his death witnesses have been describing the events. i got a call from security informing me that the police had entered the surgical ward i went up there and said in english you can't be here this is a sterile ward one of them told me there's
12:23 pm
a wounded man here we want to see. curry glee when a man who is brought into our illegally can been hit by bullets he was bleeding happily to doctors decide to take the man to the operating room on a second floor. there is a mutual pushing and shoving between the young man and the officers were assaulting people in the charm and admissions. what is right the police deny the claims of using excessive force saying that they were in fact under attack themselves by local residents and that concrete blocks were thrown at them say there has requested further comment from the israeli police
12:24 pm
since that video came to light when we hear back from them well let you know what they say meanwhile i'm see international has condemned the israeli police raids as a reflex display of force and violence palestinian human rights campaigner saffron says says that such actions are illegal but have become more frequent. this royal as a state is not respecting international humanitarian law this is not the fairest is that all the all of me is attacking cold spittles and intoning that all speak to those last two years of the attack the whole spittle in hebrew on in order to address someone today unfortunately the international community ought not taking these failed nations cod asli so that action to such a relation should be more serious body than total machine and unity specially the e.u. and agencies and the international criminal court to open an immediate investigation to find is that all accountability because as i said it's not the first volume and
12:25 pm
never of the international community took any measures in order to enforce our little boy to international low and to stop such practices so that is how things look so fast that i hear. you know it will be here at the top of the hour to keep you updated. minima so mom was the hardest by the twenty eleven tsunami but it was damaged mostly by the radiation after the nuclear disaster moved a little not even enough to let you know that we deal with it it would look like it
12:26 pm
will also i don't know what it was that i am a little short sighted to detect it will be contamination is not complete but many locals could not leave their houses and farm their children she would be nice nice. nice. if. they stay strong like their ancestors centuries ago did. not mean they. will. find a way to rebuild their lives in the. i

society society operates on one shouldn't be surprised when a new report released monday by the international institute for strategic strategic studies alludes that north korea's sudden summer success an international ballistic missile testing in development could be traced back to possible black market purchases of soviet era rocket engine technology from an aging an economically depressed ukrainian factory michael elaman a missile expert for the i assess and and author of the study told the news media that it's likely that these engines came from ukraine probably illicitly the big question is how many they have and whether the ukrainians are helping them now i'm very worried these soviet era engines called r d two fifty s. are believed to have been developed at the used missile factory which is located in the ne pro ukraine the new york times points out ukraine's pro russian president victory on a covert it was removed from power in two thousand and fourteen the state owned
12:29 pm
factory known as use the marsh has fallen on hard times and according to the report this allegedly allegedly could have led to north korea's ability to purchase the engines while responsibility for the sale is not beneficially pin down nor are we certain this is actually how north korea acquired these engines. elements i assess report does make a circumstantial case that the factory complex and its underemployed engineers may very well be at fault if any of this is proven to be true it presents a very interesting chain of events for these engines developed for the cold war made available to all to all from a u.s. backed possibly manipulated revolution and now potentially pointed right back at us . that is the ballistic missile butterfly effect that which means that we should be watching the hawks.
