in the bush. is a tourist phobia videophone tone identity. headlines on. the u.s. and south korea all accuse north korea of carrying out another nuclear test for a larger earthquake was detected in the country. u.s. security services diplomatic outposts in san francisco and washington after they were shot down on the state department. is a clear violation of international law. we're seeing an example you need to match the relations. we

haven't. asked. behind a booby trapped. driven out of the city of tal afar by the iraqi army here on the program we have an exclusive report from the. main stories of the week the top headlines all today welcome to the program it's all t. international. it is thought north korea has carried out a nuclear test that's off the earthquake measuring around six on the richter scale was detected in the country it took place in a north eastern province bordering both china and russia and was felt in both of these countries of south korea japan and the u.s. say the quakes the result of a six. new nuclear test and expected to make

a statement within the next one hour and hours before the incident north korea's central news agency issued a report claiming the country has developed an advanced hydrogen bomb the report said kim jong un inspected the work and watched the new bomb being loaded onto a new intercontinental ballistic missile following the test of a ballistic missile by north korea last week which sort fly over japan the us president donald trump said all options are on the table regarding the situation in the region but overall rhetoric from washington has been mixed throughout the recent escalation of the crisis. we were never out of diplomatic and we continue to work together and the minister and i share a response going to provide for the protection of our nation's population trying to convey to the north koreans we are not your enemy we are not your threat and this man will not get away with what he's doing only they will be met with fire and fury

. like the world has never seen as a result of the missile test japan's military requested a record high budget in the face of the syrian crisis leading to concerns from china and that's while the u.s. and south korea have been carrying out military drills in the region. well aggravating pyongyang professor and dean of the gentle school of international affairs program charlie rose says the situation is becoming ever more dangerous part you know that there are there's been a lot of pressure coming from the us because i was already are considering fired if you read all these things so i think you can go on responding in that we will neither he nor was he used to militarism normally is not helping because by constantly provoking for us as strong as he lies so hard to civilize language and has also come on what a street fight and that's not how been proving that we don't situation it is it

being generous escalation and us item that's going out of control and to start with i think it's important that we come back right at all and open a channel but not for you know. u.s. security services have finished searching russia's diplomatic properties in san francisco washington and new york state department claim the inspections were needed to quote secure and protected facilities and we can show you video posted by the russian foreign ministry inside the consulate in san francisco where security agents are using allotted to inspect the attic searches have been conducted not only on the premises of the diplomatic side but also in the apartments of staff members and their families in fact in another video a security official are seen searching the apartments with some residents still inside meanwhile the u.s. state department also led a search of russia has now closed trade mission in washington. from accessing the building after two pm local time the head of the russian trade mission alexander

told journalists he considers the searches a takeover which are in violation of international law. we are witnessing an example of mandolin in international relations it's an illegal takeover russian brode we haven't been expecting since you've wanted gas we don't. two pm local time the u.s. doesn't think we have to comanche community anymore. a spokeswoman for the russian foreign ministry has slammed the search as a diabolical. illegal and pointless of the u.s. state department says the searchers are legal claiming diplomatic immunity is revoked following any closure our the vienna convention state immunity remains in place until diplomatic staff leave the country vienna convention on diplomatic relations article twenty two point one the premises of the mission shall be

inviolable the agents of the receiving states may not enter them except with the consent of the head of the mission. school thirty nine point two when the functions of a person enjoying privileges and immunities have come to an end such privileges and immunities should normally cease at the moment when he leaves the country unless told us it is a clear violation of international law. i think international lays it down very clearly the one hundred sixty one fianna convention of to plastic relations says that any diplomatic affiliated premises country. and any incursion on that territory is an attack on the country this is hosting that diplomatic mission so this is the breach of international law that there is some sort of meaningless parade of power by raising america the big issue here is now that this creates

a bad precedent because with this event taking place now in the united states other countries may follow against embassies with which they don't have good relations with this is a collapse of the international diplomatic system by what the americans and the u.s. government is trying to do now back in december the new president barack obama expelled thirty five russian diplomats over alleged election meddling or choosing not to respond in kind on the very same day president vladimir putin actually invited the children of u.s. diplomats in russia to a new year party at the kremlin in july after the u.s. house of representatives overwhelmingly passed a new anti russia sanctions bill moscow cut the u.s. diplomatic presence in russia as you can see here to the same level that it was in america about late trying to extend sanctions and the russian foreign ministry

spokesman sort of laugh it off gave the following response to this recently. this. story was not shown it was stilted by the us administration with the only purpose of undermining us russian relations in the us we're not seeking conflict with this country we've always been friendly towards the american people and we're still open to constructive relations but as you know it takes two to tango. the brig. time of time unless we heard from question the decision to shut down the consulate and fail russia's new ambassador to america as a tough gig ahead i didn't expected i had hoped that at some point this downward spiral in our relationship and we could we could get back to normal this is simply one more chance for tat it's rather childish i think if we had

a little bit more mature leadership within the state department i think it would be helpful that so you know by russia most recently to reduce the number of staff or to create parity between the two countries where russia would have as many people working at its embassies here in the u.s. as the u.s. would have been in russia so we were at a parity situation as now there certainly was out of the blue and it's again destabilize the situation and at the same time we have trump talking about what will a chance with russia so you have to wonder who is calling the shots here. the iraqi government has declared the former islamic state stronghold city of tal afar liberated however little remains of the city aside from booby traps left by terrorists all around. has this exclusive report from the ground. then the islamiya but here the islamic state will remain you'll find. that

plastered whenever the bridges and buildings entitle frog iraq the same just haven't yet gotten around to covering them up what with being busy fighting. what. one lawyer doesn't want them to what i say it's an evo hard and plenty of surprises booby traps everywhere in thailand far they have ten the city interests up as night and coming here we were moved multiple times not to touch anything no matter how innocent it might seem for we know beyond any of these . could be explosives booby traps baboons behind the times even in the right suites has. been one where officers went into a house and sat on a sofa and exploded along with the house they had booby trapped the sofa another

example they were explosive to light switches when he turned on their lights the house explodes they were bombs into refrigerators and even the door handles when you open the door and explodes. i've just come back from tel afar and you can didn't lie down on the bed without cyprus check and first drop bombs and wires everywhere we don't touch anything. you'll do all we can to disarm everything but there's only so much we can do some houses will have to be destroyed. this bomb was intended for does but the planes and helicopters destroyed the roads and i still couldn't get the combo out engineers found it and dismantled it if it had been used it would have done as great damage they disarm the explosive canisters and detonated them in a controlled explosion but it's strange isis folded. almost too quickly.

there is evidence that around four hundred families of isis fighters were allowed to leave on august twenty fifth in an unspecified direction the rumor among iraqi troops is that as many as two thousand isis fighters have been given safe passage out of. into syria again this is a rumor and we can't confirm it but it would explain the an expectedly easy fight iraqi troops wouldn't let us into the center of saying would still far too dangerous but having spent some time here in the suburbs we haven't seen a single civilian most of them ran when your patootie presented itself as the battle began braving the merciless desert in order to get away the poor of the iraqi military and u.s. led coalition brits. might. miss the instability of

the combat the question is how much of qualified will be left to come back to more i'd guys. from iraq. the u.s. led coalition against islamic state confirmed this week another sixty one civilian deaths are likely to being caused by air strikes and tillery weapons in iraq and syria in the month of july the coalition completed the assessment of thirty seven reports resulting in sixty one unintentional civilian deaths the coalition assesses that it is more likely than not at least six hundred and eighty five civilians have been unintentionally killed by coalition strikes since the start of operation inherent resolve. meanwhile active military operations either back door carried out by the u.s. they do continue in both countries humanitarian organizations though raising the alarm over the impact on innocent lives but america's defense secretary believes

locals understand the reason coalition forces are fighting. we are the good guys and munitions people on a battlefield know the difference. i saw with my own eyes three houses destroyed and they're striking isis fighters first went there and run away then the jets bombed where they were seventeen civilians were clear that they would go on the roofs of people's houses and start shooting they wouldn't let people live in this later. with the civilians still inside. the planes bombed us heavily this happens in downtown mission that runs around i still slaughtering people many were killed and houses were destroyed. coalition shelling targets civilians hit civilians four story houses full of people all over the neighborhood certainly many have been killed among the my cousin he died in iraq in an airstrike the u.n.

estimates that's an average of twenty seven people are being killed in iraq every day the situation in the syrian city of raka mention just is of particular concern to the u.n. thousands of civilians are still trapped between isis cruelty and intense coalition strikes. nicholas j.s. davies who's written extensively on the invasion of iraq suggests the number of civilian deaths there and in neighboring syria a much higher than reported. what is coming from the coalition are not in fact estimates of total civilian casualties what they are is a very limited number of individual incidents that have been reported and so therefore the u.s. so authorities have had to address them and conduct some sort of investigation and this is this is very very limited this is the way the u.s. has conducted warfare throughout its so-called war on terror and it is

relied on the media to accept these completely absurd. numbers that it puts out as a serious estimate of the numbers of civilians being killed this is you know. this is absurd. news continues in a moment. what

politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. wanted. to be this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water. sunday morning here in moscow thanks for joining us hundreds of people took to the streets of paris on wednesday to protest against president new label goal designed to make it easier for companies to hire and fire as

a correspondent. at the scene. but the demonstrators have come out again in front to show how unhappy they are with emanuel not once one perform the working code they have described emanuel my own as being a man who only supports business i once took the rights of look at this is what people have been saying to us said that. if you tax work and the workers were against it because it has no a show now we can share the work. represents the big boss says he wants a couple good services social protections and everything achieved by workers turns agree with that. it's about ideology to be able to. stop what in fact he wants to get rid of employee protections all together it's a big attack of the hierarchy deals will now take over those are some of the

reasons why the demonstrators hey i feel so passionately against these reforms to the working code but not everybody is unhappy with the plans to reform the working take in front of forms that suggest it will mean that in four years we'll have more ability to hire and fire people to negotiate over salary in terms of additional hours that people work and that's why the heads of the employers federation has actually come out not just in support of this reform but is actually a manual not going to go all in when he introduces that working reform some people have described this as being a bellwether for my presidency because this is his first major attempt to pass a big piece of legislation here in fronts but recesses have failed so means you see . will be able despite his continuing plunging popularity in the public in the

polls to. able to pressure this reform through and to appease the french people charlotte devinsky all see paris as micro and move to reshape the economy goes rising among the french people the latest polls show that well as you can see here just about three months into his term already less than a proof of his policies now at the same point in their presidency presidencies for example are great as i said nicolas sarkozy had sixty nine percent support and even francois hollande who became known as mr popular he had only fifty four despite these findings a government spokesman claims the figures can be ignored and mackerel will quote transform the country and we asked people in paris about the president's power and fall from grace.

it doesn't surprise me that what he's doing is making human popular nobody supports his proposal for extending working hours. the french people are too closed minded when it comes to changing benefit reform so it's not surprising that his ratings of foreign. very rare for presidents popularity to increase so i'm not too surprised we need to give him time to get things done to one direction so we need to live with that we spoke to the editor in chief of a popular magazine who believes macro his character is grating with voters. this country in the spirit of race it's not a surprise to anybody. in this. situation let me tell. you straight white polish prime minister said it was. right because what he said. what he said. later.

criticized. the truth something which is totally much a joke but it will make you say things are credible she said for example the french . want to say that they were. bombing an endless civilian casualties are becoming something of a normal o.t. in yemen at the beginning of this week so hundreds of locals gathering near the country's capital to mourn the victims of last week's saudi led coalition attack on a hotel that killed sixty three hundreds of locals have also returned to the scene of the strike to protest against riyadh's continued bombing campaign in yemen of the strike at the hotel ten days ago now aside from the dead more than a dozen people were also injured the relatives of the victims are now demanding justice. kennedy. they were just workers trying. to make

a living and they were targeted by warplanes the yemeni people want to show their anger at this crime committed against them such as to my sons were martyred by the saudi aggressors they were farmers they had nothing to do with the war i appealed to the international community to the united nations to punish those who committed this crime no one does or not would demand that the international community and the united nations which is remaining silent find a solution for these disparate people and another incident fourteen people were killed when a saudi led coalition strike hit a residential building in the fires are ton neighborhood the destruction brought down a whole apartment block one young girl was the only survivor from one family and she's now being hospitalized a warning you may find the following him every day is disturbing. they know fame to get you to date. and if you get a scarce guess how to get away and she is the only child who survived the air

strikes that hit the house and that's an all of her family died her father mother and siblings. perished. we found multiple fractures in her left cheek as well as cracks in the bone around her eye and across her forehead. that. saudi arabia said the bombing of the residential area was a quote technical mistake or you heard from a number of analysts about the dire situation in yemen. actually and we know that seems the beginning of the conflict in one thousand seven hundred two in d one cheated and. almost three thousand happy medium door severely injured and open so all more than one person a hundred have been routed as the result of that i did not close the camp in the

last two months and on the eight children have died and trying to bury the actual figures may be even higher we really need to stop of the on the good relations against children in the country the only way to prevent abuse is to book and then to this conflict otherwise many more children and many more will be trapped in that that these last one they have to be held responsible under international law unfortunately what we have is the power of the international politics that is supporting the saudi let coalition that is causing untold amount of these war crimes security council is dominated by two prominent members who are the ones who are selling the weapons to the saudi regime and that is where the main obstacle lies unfortunately and every move to commission an international investigation you will find that these two countries britain and the u.s. do everything they can to obstruct to that the saudi regime along with all those

who are assisting them in this unfortunate creation of a manmade catastrophe in the yemen have to be tried for war crimes sooner or later . we are back in half an hour. with little make this manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round certainly the one. we can all middle of the room sick. real news.

welcome to worlds apart of the tomahawk missiles launched by two american destroyers in syria last week definitely had

a bombshell in fact on global politics but they didn't change the balance of power on the ground did that strike represent a pitch for a new american strategy in the region or just a publicity stunt for the new administration well to discuss that i'm not joined by commander keke lippold former commanding officer of the u.s. navy destroyer u.s.s. cole commander it's great to have you on the show thank you very much for your time well thank you for having me on today a pleasure to be here now contrary to the expectations the news cycle here in moscow today was rather slow the u.s. secretary of state the rex tillerson already had he's beating with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov but it's still unclear at this point there he is going to mix with the russian president do you expect anything substantial to come out of his russia visit. i actually do i think the despite the obviously tense introduction that. secretary teller hsan and lavrov had where there was no eye contact made on purpose by secretary lavrov the two of them said down and once the

initial posturing for the cameras was all said and done the people that didn't really need to be in the meeting left and then the governments could sit down and start getting down to the real facts the real basis and start discussing what about the chemical attack one of the objectives of each country both in syria and for the region and so i think that there was some very good discussions these had to take place following these strikes to not do them what i think a been more detrimental to both country's interests in the region while commander on the eve of this meeting the russian official said that dire expectational are fairly modest they just want to simply understand where they trumpet ministration stands on a range of middle eastern issues and i wonder if you think that they trumpet this ration if south knows where it stands i think they do i think in this case when you look at it one of the things that came through very very clear was while the previous administration under president obama.
