that we can hear on r.t. international would mean a day or two day live from moscow studio its all round up of the week's top stories and the latest up to date news of the day welcome to the program the north korean leader's orders his country's scientists to up their efforts to further develop nuclear weapons according to state media earlier this week washington's envoy to the u.n. said pyongyang's begging for you war however previous warnings from the white house failed to dissuade the north from conducting its recent nuclear test. enough is enough i think enough is enough the stakes could not be higher the urgency is now time is short action is required our country's patience is not unlimited the policy of strategic patience is over or is never something the united states wants

the united states does not seek conflict only the strongest sanctions will enable us to resolve this problem through diplomacy all of our counterparts need to impose dissensions we will defend our allies and our territory the united states is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies moscow and beijing proposed what's been called a double freeze initiative under the plan north korea would stop its nuclear and ballistic missile tests and in return america and south korea would stop their joint military exercises however the us dismissed the proposal calling it insulting washington seems to see the further militarization of the korean peninsula as the solution it says it will deploy troops and weapons there in addition to the existing american air and naval bases aircraft carrier strike group anti missile ships as well as fighter jets and helicopters will be sent to solve korea and as

artie's jacking to go explains what mongering may be turning into a lucrative business for the trumpet ministration. the north korean threat is something we hear on a daily basis from u.s. officials with the statements pouring bremer and and his nuclear threats show that he is begging for war. they will be met with fire and fury the stakes could not be higher the urgency is now this may not get away with what he's doing believe and the urgency is so strong the u.s. is rolling out a range of american made weapons to save the day on offer for remaining rocket launchers for the u.s. missile defense system for south korea also increase amounts of highly sophisticated military equipment which trump this kindly allowing both south korea and japan to purchase and the infamously troubled after the five fighter jets also be added to that package i think of bonus but not free of course but look forget

that north korea is by no means the only threat to global security and america for decades iran has fueled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror threatening the region and causing so much by a lintz all nations of kinds most worked together to isolate her and all of those attacks are music to the ears of saudi arabia an american ally and fellow detractor of iran so of course riyadh was all too ready to sign a one hundred ten billion dollar defense deal with from neighboring qatar also agreed to buy over twenty one billion dollars worth of american military hardware now trying to approach the conflict is definitely pragmatic make a quick buck if you can right and clearly this guy can sell anything even managed to find a way to spin continuing america's sixteen year long war in afghanistan as the prime minister of afghanistan has promised we are going to participate in economic development to help defray the cost of this war to us if you can't

solve the problem see if you can at least turn a healthy profit instead of i'm a businessman that's what i'm supposed to do the sort i'm supposed to do. i think a lot of people project on the behavior of the united states maybe of other countries that it's all about business it's all about making money for the arms manufacturers in the plane manufacturers and so forth the people who make missiles the militarization of the policy of the using the military threats and military force as the only item in our tool kit his son how become so ingrained in their mentality they really don't consider other alternatives you have people who believe that the united states is and must be the global hedge of on that every solution must be solved by a dick taught from washington and whatever force and threats are necessary to achieve that end will be employed. the syrian army has secured a key victory in the final state broke a three year long blockade to the city of there is still now this janet march and

has more details. syrian army units regained full control over and around the square you are in throngs of there elz over said you and the international highway of their resort now this search easements come just after a few days of. lifting full so huge of bodies the understudy of their resort and just a few hours after they broke the siege of gaza militants on the military airport in their resort. this achievement also show the determination of syrian and drash and governments to educate extremism on the syrian soil some analysts and observers believe that this is would be a main turning point in the war against our goal is to liberate all that is the initial areas that are just

a few others presidential areas and districts in the hands of the extremists civilians live is going to be much easier from now on and their suffering will and . the syrian army has been advancing rapidly in recent months and as you can see on the map here in june islamic state controlled around a quarter of the country but wind dong three months on iraq hoffa territory has been lost during the army's advance on terrorism or it was gaining around eight kilometers a day means that the advancing troops are finding linked up with the remaining syrian forces inside the city was greeted with relief to both soldiers and civilians. but i was.

only the breaking of the age of extremely significant militarily and logically tremendous booth for the morale of the government and the government forces and we must be a bit cautious it's not clear whether it will take days or or weeks to clear out of the the the main fifty four and then be on for food can look forward to consolidating the control of the government in some pocket jihad these still. hold sway so it going at beth beth it's

going to take a number of months before the syrian government really control over the whole of syria. german chancellor angela merkel has had a tough few days both in and out of parliament but just two weeks to go before the general election she's been out on the campaign trail although it's not been going all highway. it was. the chancellor was jeered and booed by demonstrators during a rally on thursday while two days earlier a protester threw tomatoes at her cheering a similar event criticized those behind the disruptions but this week it wasn't just hecklers who got in the way of her speeches while addressing parliament she was interrupted by her main rival from the social democrats for taking credit for their work but she didn't hesitate to remind those president who's the boss. that's with you but i think sadly when three by name get on the ceilings. you know.

if this is the was a group you know say they are. doing that when you inspect it when he's in parliament it's nice stories and that's because i think it was with just two weeks before the country votes polls show merkel's ruling christian democrats way ahead of their main social democrat rivals the left leaning party dealing with the free democrats behind them as is alternative for germany a euro skeptic party that is expected to gain its first seats in parliament artie's peter all of it takes a closer look at who will be the real contenders in this election. with most pundits already calling this german election

a win for anglo burkle over and schultz there isn't a great deal of intrigue there what's more exciting though has been the battle for the place and who will perhaps be called the kingmaker in the next coalition government. because of the key issues are no longer have guns. i want to have close to the amount of. his into and he finished only wanted to present to me. about the nazis. bringing some scandal and controversy to the relatively calm seas of the german political scene it's alternative to germany it looks like they will enter

a pall of it for the first time following this election and they run all they called like message against refugee policy even drafted in one of the ad agencies that helped promote trump in his campaign. good alternative for germany is not going to be faulted any coalition with. likely to be part of a coalition with the mrs merkel all the free democratic policy a classically liberal pro-business they film charisma and photogenic media has appeared front and center however he does appear to have lifted so of his migration policy right out of the alternative think show that inflatable if peace prevails refugees must be prisoners such human rights for choosing your place in the world i'm not being harsh this is. speaking the a.f.

they may prove to be a wise move as he looks to shore up his own party's position basically this is just a political maneuver to get more voters from this from this side of the spectrum f.t.p.'s at the moment constantly connecting in all kinds of fields voters for example with all these digital soft. and now with this new statement about refugees they try to pick of course also people from the if the from the right wing side the likud has already ruled out forming a coalition with the left party the greens this time out it's at the lagging way behind in the polls there's even the possibility that we could see you know the grand coalition with the social democrats and that's when it comes to coalition forces there are even some that would see him do a little cool not be the next chancellor of germany however the most realistic options are that the free democrats will not only return to the fold to start

following september the twenty volts vote but that they will also be part of the ruling coalition peter all of a. u.s. ties threaten to hit a new low off the searches of moscow's diplomatic compound more on that story after this short break. it's. for a single purpose. a super. star training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they saved lives.

welcome back to their weekly here on r.t. international moscow responded angrily this week to the searching of russian diplomatic compounds which had been ordered to close by washington video of men searching on the roof and ripping up flooring at one of the science was posted on the russian foreign ministry facebook page f.b.i.

agents checked basements and attics drawers and cupboards with moscow claiming the whole operation made no sense washington's unexpected move sparked outrage in moscow top russian officials describe it as the seizing of property and slammed it as a gross violation of international law which openly demonstrated hostility towards russia and would inevitably lead to a worsening of u.s. russia relations meanwhile a u.s. state department spokesperson placed a bar arch of russian related questions after she referred to the searches as a simple toll of the facilities. people say oh i'm sorry sir what's your name let's move on move on to something else if you still consider that sovereign russian property or were those property search because there was a concern that they were being used for intelligence purposes which would be like a different issue and it's not going to get out of this so let's move on to something else here. treat us missions that. they

did search. you know what i don't know if you are working for today or what but i remember. in the latest development in their ongoing diplomatic spat the u.s. ordered russia to close three diplomatic premises was just forty eight hours notice immediately after the eviction u.s. officers searched the san francisco consulate and trade missions in new york and washington in response president vladimir putin asked the russian foreign ministry to take legal action. because just on our american counterparts didn't let russia use its property it's a violation of our property rights i will tell the foreign ministry to go to court to see how well the highly praised the dish or system in the us works however washington says it wants to end the diplomatic crisis two days after potence remark on legal action the u.s. state department had this to say. we would like that's relationship to improve we

don't want to continue this kind of diplomatic tit for tat people in the united states need to get over this russian hysteria and that's what it is that's being ginned up. by the media here and americans need to call for more friendly and constructive relations with russia it's my firm opinion that russia all along has want to friendly relations has wanted the u.s. as a partner and there's no reason that we should reject that all of branch that i think russia has been holding out for us entering their property was a violation of the vienna conventions. and i don't know where it's going to and i do get the sense from russia that they do not want to escalate. water levels are rising on the coast of the state of florida and you can see behind me the state of the the weather at the moment is live pictures from florida the when the winds are clearly very strong hurricane will hit the u.s.
