and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the u.n. security council adopted new sanctions against north korea after the resolution was changed from a tougher us drafted version. with still controlling only fifteen percent of syria the race is on to retake oilfields from terrorists as russia assisted on u.s. backed forces both close then. and there are fears islamic state fighters could now easily get into europe with german authorities believing the group's got its hands on thousands of stolen blanks syrian passports.

you're watching r.t. international live from moscow studio with me welcome to the program the u.n. security council has adopted new sanctions against north korea the latest resolution prohibits the purchase of textiles from the country it also restricts the hiring of north koreans as foreign workers plus the document puts a cap on all imports but this version is a big step back from what was originally proposed by the u.s. a new york correspondent kaleb explains. this is a very different resolution than the draft that was circulated by the united states the original draft of the resolution that the u.s. circulated have actually called for a full oil and natural gas embargo against the d.p. r. k. forbidding north korea from importing any oil or natural gas well the resolution that just passed is far different simply caps the amount of oil and natural gas

that north korea can import now the original draft that was being circulated furthermore called for a freezing of the assets of kim jong il and an a travel ban on north korea's leader forbidding him from leaving north korea that was not included in the resolution that just passed now immediately after it was unanimously passed by the fifteen members of the u.n. security council quite a change in tone from u.s. leaders regarding north korea we heard nikki haley speaking before the u.n. security council today and kind of calm tone saying that the north koreans have not passed a point of no return that there are peaceful and diplomatic solutions to the crisis but we've heard some very different words from nikki haley herself as whether as well as other u.s. officials in relation to north korea they will be met with fire. the shield stands guard. and the sword stands ready massive military response of the regime both objective and overwhelming nuclear threats show that he

is begging for war. we are not looking for a war the north korean regime has not yet passed the point of no return if it agrees to stop its nuclear program it can reclaim its future if it proves it can live in peace the world will live in peace with it we also heard from the representative of the russian federation now the ambassador for the russian federation he talked about how russia's opinion and russia's perspective has been and russia maintains that it is not acceptable for north korea to have nuclear weapons furthermore he went on to emphasize the double freeze proposal put forward by russia and china calling for a freeze in provocative military drills in the south and in exchange for a freeze on nuclear proliferation and provocative activities from the north this is the ambassador of the russian federation speaking before the u.n.

security council. it's a big mistake to underestimate this russian chinese initiative it remains on the table at the security council and we will insist on it being considered now the resolution that was just passed emphasized the call for the six party talks to resume from day one russia and china have called for negotiations and a diplomatic solution to the crisis and an easing of tensions on the korean peninsula and it seems that that view put forward by russia and china from the beginning of this crisis has prevailed with the resolution being passed by the fifteen member body the u.n. security council. to think that the solution to the korean crisis is still possible despite the fact that the u.s. is pushing tougher measures against pyongyang. i think that they wanted some action to be taken and they knew that china and i believe also russia would not go along with what the draft was there it was really recipe for extinction for north

korea korea has also said that if there's a peace treaty signed between them and the united states and there's a halt to those maneuvers that they would suspend nuclear and missile tests but the united states has brush this off as absolutely unthinkable and so i think that's the real reason that we have an ongoing crisis so you know what you have here is basically nikki haley having initially distributed the most extreme of sanctions. perhaps even historically this latest round of sanctions which was supposed to be extremely hard hitting but instead reflected the influence of both russia and china in pushing for diplomacy actually signals a possibility and even though things have gotten about as grim as they possibly could with regard to u.s. policy toward north korea there is

a rational pathway at hand. following the adoption of the resolution russia and china reiterated their call for a double freeze plan on north korea mentioned earlier by our correspondent under the plan. would stop its nuclear and ballistic missile tests and in return america and south korea would stop their joint military exercises ahead of the vote the north korean leader warned that washington would pay a price if it's tough a draft resolution was passed ati's correspondent on a parent bill reports from so. considering this saying sions resolution passed by the u.n. security council is the toughest to date concerning north korea's ballistic missile and a nuclear weapons program and is furious before the vote even took place the government issued a very harsh statement warning they will act tough on the quote u.s. gangsters and promised pain and suffering. the fees calming measures to be taken by

the d.p. ok recalls the u.s. the greeks used three it's has through its entire history now to get some perspective on the government in pyongyang i spoke with a member of the national assembly here in seoul that they saw libya. euro. collapse they think they could because they don't have any nuclear weapons if they have nuclear weapons united states war has a. very special. because they have nuclear weapons. has a very good. thinking despite much talk out of seoul underscoring their commitment to a diplomatic solution this week it was announced by opposition lawmakers they will include requests for u.s. tactical nukes in their twenty eight thousand budget proposal i asked mr hall if he

supported this action and how it would make koreans safer because the weapons. they want to have software territory one obstacle he is trying his disapproval trying. even. china is putting some kind of sanctions or south korea. on i'm going to survive this week a delegation of opposition lawmakers from seoul will head to washington where they will likely be made. for tactical nuclear weapons china is on the record saying such an act would be a red line as there are stonily against the presence of nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula so if such an action is to be carried out by the trump administration it would surely only inflame tensions further in seoul on your part until. with the syrian army breaking in the seizure of there is a war islamic state holds over the country is shrinking rapidly only fifteen

percent of syria remains under the terror group's control and that doesn't include any major cities that's according to russia's defense ministry it also says this week four hundred fifty terrorists were eliminated and one hundred ninety eisen logics including our mission and destroyed meanwhile ten tons of humanitarian aid have been delivered to the previously besieged or and it seems that us by kurdish militias or also heading there but from another direction all too easily put trying to look at what's at stake as the two anti terror forces move closer. what has the . american led coalition in northern syria been up to lately rocko sure thing but there's more here's this weekend statement by the guys in charge of an hard to resolve syrian coalition commences offensive tools don't resume. their resort it's only the biggest city in the country's east which just had its blockade broken

i you are god. fearing government troops are already inside doing the d. isolating so why would the coalition get involved. it was a mistake quick correction the coalition's on the way to boot islamic state out of the hub or river valley not quite their ads or but just to the north of the city all sort it keep reading the prestigious mistakenly released an unapproved drove regarding the fight in the river valley the draft indicated that. a moment to resume this is not the case i thought first of all they were meant to be anti eisel forces we have very little to do with syria other than killing isis many times in the studio of explain the great strategic importance of controlling their resort and the state islamic state will find itself and if they lose it

a different perspective there's still plenty of oil around this area once. you get it but even before islamic state gets fully erased from the map of syria government troops may well come across coalition forces or vice versa trust me this potential proxy conflict would be formidable to say the least earlier this year the pro-government forces were hit by u.s. air strike at least five times and the deserts of southeast syria just because they happened to turn up in the wrong place at the wrong time the united states conducted strikes against two technical vehicles later this morning after the. first incident the united states also shot down a suspected progress seem drone speaking of sudden clashes breaking out as various and the arsehole forces come together just recently and north american troops along with kurdish units came under fire by the turkish backed rebels the ones that the kurds well when it comes to the east watch this space as it gets

a bit crowded. islamic militants have been recruiting foreign fighters in syria and iraq for the past few years many of those who went there to find their families along with them but with the terror group suffering a string of major defeats the wives and children of a large number of killed fighters have end up in refugee camps with uncertain futures auti was the first to talk to some of the widows of foreign extremists and their rocket count where hundreds of families are stranded location and identities cannot be described for their safety. which is too much. because it is such a dumb was a vision of. what you did if you go to.

your didn't do. any of the gun used to teach them to not. know. the legal fate of the wives of eisel fighters is not clear yet meanwhile in europe last year around six hundred people were put on trial for terrorism with more than three hundred fifty prosecuted for ties to jihadism should the wives of fighters be treated in the same way as other islamic extremist what we discussed the issue with political commentators on. well i think the most important thing we have to do is avoid these people coming back to our countries these people have joined a terrorist organization they wish to join a state that isn't the united kingdom isn't america isn't russia isn't even chechnya these are people who are dangerous extremist terrorists and what i hope will happen and i sincerely think that all of our country should support syria and

iraq ensuring these people are prosecuted or brought to justice what we're talking about wives and children of isis fighters who have gone out to syria to iraq to kurdistan and have been found themselves inadvertently getting in broiled as part of as much a victim as anyone else has been in part of these atrocities certainly the wives and children the innocent victims in this play these are families children mothers who are claiming that we came here innocently we came here we followed the husbands they have been killed in combat and we are left stranded here with nowhere to go and they are pose no risk to the state it let's be clear what the argument that no one saw is making is that you are an adult have chosen to join a terrorist organization and just because you're married you should have no responsibility for that whatsoever of what mr savage but you are in a terrorist organization so i want to know have you made you know of these i mean

sergey signed a following beside me so let's be clear on my position and let's be clear what i look at you actually look a little later name for yourself as a showing for the majority of iraq just take the air piece out i keep talking the position of the majority of british people in my view is that they do not want terrorists back in the united kingdom they do not want the wives of terrorists back in the united kingdom but there may want the children who are entirely innocent to return to the united kingdom and with that in mind i put my earpiece back in these women many of them will be innocent people the children the innocent people they didn't sign up to a terrorist organization it's not like joe. a club where you sign up to get a membership form they followed their husbands into a war zone people who have not committed any wrongdoing who are no risk to the state the answer is to integrate them we have the national security apparatus in place to be able to tackle these issues right now we have got very successful models around britain we've got very successful models around europe it works if it's done carefully but the answer is not just to exclude everybody all we do is

create more problems for the future so the idea is we need to bring these people back and show them some love show them some tolerance absolute they'll be no doubt interrogated by the intelligence services find out what they know but the idea is not imprison them not leave them stateless and not leave them stranded we bring them home. isel as reportedly got hold of thousands of blank passports citing alarm bells ringing in europe thoughts on all stories after the break. what politicians do you show me things. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. we somehow want to be rich. but you'd like to be it's like the three of them all competing. interstate always in the waters of. the city is.

the feeling of. every. should. you get it all the you will. according to just. make. sure there are a. welcome back to the program a huge trove of blank syrian policy bullets has been stolen from the government germany's authorities say that over eleven thousand of them might have formed into

the hands of islamic state adding that fake passports give the terrorists easy access to europe all cheese pizza all of the picks up the story. eleven thousand blank syrian passports could be in the hands of isis stops according to an investigation that was carried out by the build on sunday newspaper citing documents from the german police and from the german interior ministry one still in with a person's details these passports codes allow terrorists to into europe undetected using a valid passport disguising themselves as refugees developments in connection with the refugee situation has shown that terrorist organizations a using the opportunity to smuggle potential attackers all supporters into europe in germany undetected fake or altered passports a mostly used for illegal entry without further motives like carrying out a terrorist attack this is more news that should to worry germans after it emerged

earlier this month that a group of sixty four members of a group linked to al qaeda may have traveled disguising themselves as refugees another group are accused of war crimes and carrying out numerous massacres we've also seen an uptick in the number of those accused of having being fighters with terror organizations facing trial here in germany one of those is the rebel commander a bit of him. who's accused of having tortured people in syria he entered the country as a refugee at the end of this month prosecutors from stuttgart will bring charges of murder and belonging to a terrorist organization against four syria nationals accused of being members of joe but. we contacted the german authorities and asked them what they have to say about the potential risks of terrorists arriving here in germany using refugees as cover is long be known but so-called blank post balls was stolen from the syrian

regime these documents are listed on the interpol lost documents database so that the passports can be matched with passports presented on the right. not quite bland say after two two blank passports potentially being in the hands of isis isn't going down well with some of the problem itself is far bigger than we actually realize and that the the mainstream media is able to it's a broadcast and bring to the attention of you know the citizens of the world the countries that have ill thought out these these policies on immigration and the slack border controls that we've seen in european countries i think the results of that is really on one survival i don't think they have any idea of the sheer magnitude of these threats and this problem a lot more needs to be done and if it isn't done we're going to see significant terrorist incidents the sheer number of terrorist incidents we witnessed over the last three years that are linked to isis in european countries shows us that even

with a small number of terrorists that are potentially off the radar the governments don't have the ability to cope so if we're looking at such a high number you know in the thousands and i think that definitely going to be struggling to it's a cope and woefully incapable of doing such german authorities uncovered a half thousand cases of people trying to enter the country using false documents and twenty sixteen and the news that isis may have access to over eleven thousand blank syrian passports means that migration authorities are going to have to be on watch to make sure the documents handed over at the border much the real identity of those doing the handing over peter all over belin. while i still find his a trying to make their way into europe thousands have previously gone to fight for the terror group in syria from abroad the lion's share of foreign i thought recruits came from tunisia russia france germany and the u.k. are also among the countries where

a significant number of citizens left to fight for i still. a new soyuz spacecraft mission is ready to make this six hour flight to the international space station at a joint media conference cosmonaut alexander miss working together with nasa astronauts joseph and mark funda hey shed their expectations over the upcoming expedition artie's remand casa referee ports from baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan . they saw you spacecraft has rolled into the launch site to take another space trio on their journey to the stars the final tests have now been passed and the crew is all set to leave earth for over one hundred sixty days two flights engineers from nasa and their russian mission commander have been training together since july so by now they must know each other's strengths and weaknesses pretty well if you went on a road trip together somewhere here on earth who to drive i think would be sitting

the route. loosely. in the back seat. i don't know who will be driving but one thing i know for sure is that i'll be in the back of the car dancing to lots of music. i want to see did begin to draw to someone use so i'm driving the car. you know i'm like his tutsi mates it will be more commanding heights first voyage and his face his wife says she will be keeping him up to speed with things back on earth it's reassuring i think to know about what's going on here. you know at home so we'll just talk about the kids at college maybe our cats. and of course he'll share his experiences with me and space fleet up with what he's doing in space i can or is a small town built specifically for the space program it's still closed off to cirrus but westerners are now welcome here so this rockets blast off into space

also is a small country. no. possibility to see this. she's been here nine times but every time is different it's very interesting you can get much closer to things actually and of course the history you know this is the face where the first man in space launch from i think it's a wonderful place it's a place who can mix with people that are interested in space travel. it's also baikonur they've made it very easy for us to get close to the rocket and get a good view of it it's exalted for some people but for me i've been studying. space program all of my professional life so i've always been excited and that was my first time here after years of studying it so i'm excited to see it first from all the descriptions i've read over the years remark koester of artsy baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan. has weakened to

a tropical depression after previously reaching a category five in severity it's already dumping rain across the u.s. states of georgia and alabama and continuing northwest. hurricane has left the path of devastation with the death toll rising to ten in the u.s. and thirty eight in the caribbean shelters filled up with thousands waiting for the storm to pass the car wreck and has left over six million without power as wind speeds reached one hundred thirty miles an hour it's also thought to have caused two hundred billion dollars worth of damage. careless all over the world have gone to extreme lengths to brave the wrath of hurrican in live broadcast we've seen wind swept tad drenched clothing and dramatic footage as janice tried to compose themselves while while supporting under extreme weather conditions and telling

people to stay inside and stay safe but some say practice what you preach and stop showboating. if you're told to evacuate and get out which we. don't need to go because. the military. are here you just keep. going down down down you have our.

right. everything was fine until alternative media came along everything was fine until the internet everything was fine until facebook and twitter and you tube and and various video platforms and periscope and everything was fine if you don't give us something exciting we're back to this again so it's an existential threat they're there fighting for their lives and they will do anything up to one including dying on television to get that most wanted to viewer attention. roundup of the news this

hour that gets checks out on social media we're on facebook twitter and of course our web site that's dot com i'll be back at the top of the alice so stay with us. the rundown of. the martial. islamic states claims it was behind the manchester terror attack by the. front so kill the priest every time a terrorist attack happens all these people are out there screaming to go ice is so bad someone needs to do something against them and for me was like yeah why don't.
