to the right person it's like before three of the more people. interested always at the water's edge. there should. we have many military options should we're not looking to the annihilation of a country namely north korea but as i said we have many options to do show us defense secretary jim mattis promises a massive military response if north korea threatens the u.s. off of pyongyang confirms it successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. the russian foreign ministry slams us searches of russian diplomatic signs as an illegal dog bowl local soccer premises in san francisco and washington were shut down on the state department's orders. and in our view of the week islamic state leaves behind

a booby trapped ghost town after it's driven out of town a fall by the iraqi army we have an exclusive report. from moscow it's the weekly here on international i'm rosana loker thank you for joining us. tensions on the north korean peninsula ratcheting up and washington looks in no mood to calm the situation but the u.s. defense secretary jim mattis promising a massive military response on north korea should it threaten america. we have many military options and president wanted to be briefed on each one of them any threat to the united states george territories including. or allies will be met with a massive military response the response both objective and overwhelming the u.s.

defense secretary made that statement off the president met with his military officials to discuss the situation regarding the korean peninsula it all comes off the north korean state television announced that the country had successfully tested a hydrogen bomb that announcement was made after an earthquake measuring around six on the richter scale was detected in north korea jacqueline du has more on the latest escalations between washington and pyongyang that's actually kind of an unexpected and drastic change in tone coming from modest there who is really starting to sound more like trump now he did add that america is not seeking the annihilation of north korea but it's highly unlikely that those comments will be of any comfort to anyone in north korea given how quickly his stance changed from there's always the possibility of a diplomatic solution to we don't want to kill you but we certainly can if need be now these statements are made even more ominous given the comments made by president trump before he met with madison the other generals we were.

earlier on sunday trump did tweet that all options are being considered when it comes to north korea but it is clear that the military option seems to be becoming the favorite for the trumpet ministration meanwhile we have china and russia urging all sides to show restraint but it seems that team trump is going to stick with the aggressive rhetoric that we've. seen from the president as of late they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never seen north korea better get their act together where they're going to be trouble like you they should ever have been in trouble in this world. and this may not get away with what he's doing and this is really already at play to pass just a war of words we've already seen america bolster their military presence in the region and continue to conduct drills with south korea much to the displeasure of

their northern neighbors and trump has gotten a fair amount of backlash for some of his aggressive comments both here at home and abroad but the u.s. state department for their part has defended his comments saying that it's simply the only way to communicate with the north korean leader exacerbating the president spoke to him to kim jong un in a language that secretary tillerson has said and said this morning in the kind of language that kim jong un will understand but clearly america really has no plans of changing their tactics despite the fact that all of their aggressive rhetoric and saying that talking will not work and attacking north korea has only lead to further threats from north korea and more missile tests but washington seems unwilling to change their plan of action pushing the whole world closer to the edge of war meanwhile south korea has conducted a snap military drill as a response to pyongyang's nuclear test according to the south korean military the drill simulating a strike on the north's nuclear testing site missiles fired from the ground and

from fighter planes were brutally hit their intended targets in the sea of japan. earlier we talked to gregory ealey from the advisory board of the korea policy institute and sam unit from the council of korean americans about the latest escalation of tensions in the region. i think that a proper demonstration is painting itself into a corner so for instance trump recently tweeted that talks are not the answer and. just leaves the option of threatening north korea which only encourages north korea to accelerate its nuclear weapons program which in turn encourages the trumpeting of putting out of. the very dangerous. for the very people that came over him and. they're not willing to give up their for weapons program unless the united states drops its hostile policy so there's a definite opening for a diplomatic move if the united states wanted to take this is

a full scale diplomatic crisis and i think the president has not really framed this issue as such i think this is in some ways a war of words we know he's very fond of twitter and saying provocative things president and our government is not devoting the resources the political will that are needed to find a solution to this problem we need to amp up the resources at the state department warm bodies people who understand north korea the culture the language get them working on this issue. washington says it was looking for explosives when it raided recently closed russian diplomatic science in the u.s. that's according to the russian foreign ministry which slammed the move. one of you said. this action was aimed at keeping the n.c. russian agenda license and illegal takeover like this is very bring in

international relations especially on this scale and at such short notice the intention was to humiliate inflict pain and to put people in an uncomfortable situation is unprecedented in global politics particularly for the u.s. a country founded on respectful private property this action is beyond good and evil. what stuff were blocked from accessing the buildings of russia's consulate in san francisco and trade mission in washington d.c. this video is from inside the trade missions premises minutes before it was closed as you can see more or less everything had already been cleared out leaving only empty shelves and corridors the diplomatic staff were given very short notice to leave the site only thirty six hours and in san francisco searches were conducted not only on the premises of the diplomatic side but also in the apartments of staff members and their families mosco has slammed the move as a deeply hostile act damed undermining u.s. russian relations with more his new deal or tutor.

what we do have is a number of videos to show the facility in san francisco when the inspection took place and you can see from one of the videos that the security officials were actually searching the apartments for the president still in that the trade facility in washington is also being searched and the head of the trade commission has told journalists that high for the searches. we are witnessing an example of vandalism in international relations it's another go take a russian corporate road we haven't been expecting so she wanted gas so we don't fall come down to stupid am local time the u.s. doesn't think we have to going to community anymore if we look at the reasons the u.s. has stated that this is a response to russia's decision to reduce the size of the u.s. mission in russia back in july twenty seventh teen we've also had

a reaction from the russian foreign minister himself so good i've spoken out about the decision to close the facilities has also said that russia is not the instigator of those moves measures it sanctions already was not launched by russia it was started by the u.s. administrator with the only purpose of the money and u.s. russian relations are completely u.s. we're not seeking conflict with this going through always been friendly towards the american people and we're still open to constructive relationships but as you know it takes two to tango it looks like our american partners are breakdancing on their own time all the time so as you can see the relations between the u.s. and russia are still pretty tense the u.s. state department says the search is all legal claiming diplomatic immunity is revoked following any closure however the vienna convention states immunity remains in place intil diplomatic staff leave the country vienna can. mention 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. article thirty nine point two when the functions of a person enjoying privileges and immunities have come to an end such privileges and immunities shall normally cease at the moment when he leaves the country saying international down very clearly the one hundred sixty one fianna convention of to class relations says that any diplomatic affiliated premises no one country. and any incursion on that territories there is an attack on the country this is hosting that. diplomatic mission so this is breach of international law that there is some sort of meaningless parade of power by raising america the big issue is now that this creates a bad precedent because with this event taking place now in the united

states other countries may follow i guess embassies with which they don't have good relations with this is a collapse of of the international diplomatic system by what the americans and the u.s. government is trying to do. twitter has blocked an altie account that's part of a special project telling the story of the russian revolution through real time tweeting they can use the u.k. foreign offices logo as it was giving the british reaction to events in one nine hundred seventeen weeks founder julian assange has reacted to twitter's decision accusing the u.k. government of putting pressure on the social media platform is a look at our project have you ever dreamed of time travel brings you a digital time machine that takes you back to nineteen seventeen years of the russian revolution we looked at the revolutions and scenery and wondered what if twitter existed on. years ago. so we set up dozens of real twitter accounts in the

names of historic figures from. them from factory workers to soldiers then we turned actual history diaries letters and memoirs into real time tweets history became a dynamic all the accounts are linked by the russian telegraph the fictional media outlet and they form a unique twitter ecosystem under the hash tag nineteen seventeen live so with the stage set tweeting of the revolution begins with events from a century ago reported like breaking news as if it's all happening now. with tracker following the bolshevik leader's return to russia from european exile in real time. with timely opinion polls on the burning issues of the russian empire and even live q. and a sessions featuring keys story players the revolution continues as vladimir lenin himself once tweeted.

project has been positively received with reveres calling it a for medical work the creation of an entire virtual world and an ambitious attempt to create a new genre as well as rave reviews the project has also attracted a large online following this includes renowned journalists and popular accounts like the british library in total our project has over one hundred thousand followers with even more tweets featuring the hash tag nine hundred seventeen live the project's tweets have been seen by over twenty five million people. the head of social media says it's disappointing the account was shut down without discussing the issue with r.t. first we wanted to give voice to all sides of their surveillance that is why would decide it's a creed the current of the british embassy in its description it's clearly stated that it's their columns of the united kingdom in the russian. which no longer

exists by the time they account for suspenders it had over three thousand followers and they had the party social media over across here tried to contact the actual u.k. embassy in russia but there was no reaction whatsoever it is very sad that the u.k. foreign office decided to shut down their columns without even and it sounds to conflict its creators meanwhile characters within the project have reacted to the accounts closure finally someone shut down accounts of imperialist u.k. oh did foreign office close its whatever twitter should better suspend bolsheviks propaganda and ban lenin first were in the war on social media then on battlefield. iraqi authorities have to another city freed from the group of islamic state but it's about stories coming up in just a minute. to

make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous. nor middle of the room six. zero zero there are already.

welcome back the iraqi government this week declared the former islamic state stronghold city of tal afar liberated little remains of the city aside from the many baby traps left by terrorists. this exclusive report. by the islamic state remade you'll find. that plastered over the buildings inside of iraq the soldiers haven't yet gotten around to. covering them up what with being busy fighting. was. why i know you didn't look at them through what i see it's an evo ha and plenty of

surprises booby traps every read entire left they have to turn the city into a sap as night and come in here we were bloomed multiple times not to touch anything no matter how innocent it might seem for we know behind these. could be explosives booby traps bradman's behind the time even in the right switches. would be one where officers went into a house and sat on a sofa it exploded and along with the house they had booby trapped the sofa another example they were explosive to light switches when you turn 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 tal afar and you can didn't lie down on the bed without cyprus check and first drop bombs and was everywhere we don't touch anything. i will 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 those but the planes and helicopters destroyed the roads and i still couldn't get the car bomb out our 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. iraqi troops wouldn't let us into the center of telephone 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 you're patootie presented itself as the battle began braving the merciless desert in order to get away before the iraqi ministry in the u.s. led to release and brits to the right or wrong but as the three of

their combat the question is how much of tal afar there be left to come back to more i guys. from iraq. you know the news from this week hundreds of people took to the streets of paris on wednesday to protest against president macross new labor law designed to make it easier for companies to both hire and fire workers bensky reports. the demonstrators have come out again in front to show how unhappy they are with a manual one perform on the working code they have to start a manual my own is being a man who not only supports business i once took the rights of workers this is what people have been saying to us said that. if you tax work and workers were against

it because it's. no a share now and we can share the work. represents the big bosses and those who want to come public services social protections and everything achieved by workers i don't agree with that so. it's about ideology to be able to sound. stop work in fact he wants to get rid of employee protections all together it's a big attack of the hierarchy corporate deals will now take over those are some of the reasons why the demonstrators hate feel so passionately against these reforms to the working code but not everybody is unhappy with the plans to reform the working take front. suggest it will mean the employers will 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 head of the employers federation has

actually come out not just in support of this reform but is actually a manual match to go when he introduces that working reform some people have described this as being a bellwether for mcallen's presidency because this is his first major attempt to pass a big piece of legislation here in fronts but precesses have failed to see. will be able despite his continuing plunging popularity in the polls in the polls to be able to push this reform through and to appease the french people. altie paris. this bus guard tower festival in red square drawing the best military officers from the world has completed its final day daniel event marked its tenth anniversary.

of a don't know when this is america more you're more than one million people now out of states and millions more crawford woad suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. this painful and debilitating disease is one that currently has no known cause making it nearly impossible to prevent or even predict who's most at risk drug companies make billions of dollars marketing treatments for sufferers with each medication carrying a certain amount of risk and while some drug companies have been honest about the risks to their drugs theory others have tried to cover up the dangers in order to score a bigger profit tonight we'll tell you about one of the latest arthritis drugs that's killed hundreds of people and how that company behind the drug tried to cover up the truth and later in the show on talk to you about how an old dupont plant contaminated the river in virginia now they have to pay forty two million dollars

to begin correcting their disaster so don't go anywhere america's lawyers starts now. rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease affecting more than one point three million americans and as much as one percent of the worldwide population the specific cause of rheumatoid arthritis isn't known and there's no known cure for the disease rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common auto immune disorders and symptoms are triggered when a person is and have bodies attack this in no veal joint fluid causes chronic inflammation actimel is a suppressive medication used to treat the symptoms of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis the medication was first approved by the f.d.a. in two thousand and ten the drugs been marketed to doctors is not increasing the risk of heart failure stroke or lung disease which competing drug makers admit

rheumatoid arthritis medication usually does the problem is that a camera absolutely does carry those risks and the manufacturer seriously misled the f.d.a. and da. there's an order to sell it's drug according to medical journalism organization stat patients taking it temora are fifty percent more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke than patients using enbrel or a competing drug in fact stat analyzed more than half a million reports of adverse events during treatment with rheumatoid arthritis drugs and found evidence that the risks of heart attacks strokes heart failure and other conditions were high or even higher for some patients treated with that camera than they were patients treating with competed drugs in other words out and now they have not lied to the f.d.a. and medical doctors about it cameras dangers the failure of that time or the carry

a proper warning is lead doctors to overly prescribe this medication to individuals who are susceptible to heart and lung injuries and lead doctors the failed to monitor these patients more closely for potential harm drug makers roche and genentech the manufacturers of a camera are now facing thousands of lawsuits plaintiff's attorneys claims that roche and genentech failed to properly test that camera before placing it on the market they failed to warn doctors and patients that the medication was just as likely to cause serious injuries as competing drugs they concealed evidence of the dangers of the drug from the government in the public and the drug makers misrepresented the safety of the medication and its marketing material and publication pretty much a grand slam of fraud that patients have a right to be able to make informed choices about what medications they take but when you have a drug company that hides the real dangers of their drugs from doctors it becomes impossible for consumers to make an informed.
