u.n. security council adopts new sanctions against north korea to the resolution was changed from atop the u.s. drafted version. with i'm still controlling only fifteen percent of syria the race is on the to retake goldfields from the terrorists as russia assisted an us backed forces both close in. and there are fears islamic state finances goodenough easily get into europe with german authorities believing the group has got its hands on thousands of stolen blanks syrian paul sports.

international line from almost has to do with meaning to 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 pyongyang's all imports but this version is a big step back from what was originally proposed by the u.s. on your correspondent caleb maupin 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 un and 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 in 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. stands. in the sword's dance room. 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. experts we spoke to think a diplomatic 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 was a russia would not go along with what the draft was that 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 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 change and. 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 path hand. following the adoption of the resolution russia and

china reiterated their call for a double freeze plan on the north korea mentioned earlier by our correspondent under the plan pyongyang would stop its nuclear and ballistic missile tests and in return american south korea would stop their joint military exercises ahead of the votes the north korean leader warned that washington would pay a price if it's tough a draft resolution was passed ati's correspondent. reports from seoul. 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 us gangsters and promised pain and suffering. the feelings calming measures to be taken by the d.p.

ok recalls the u.s. the greeks used so free it says 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 they think. has to be. 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 a request 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. clear territory one obstacle is trying his disapproval trying. even. china is putting some kind of sanctions on south korea. and i'm not so by that this week a delegation of opposition lawmakers from seoul will head to washington where they will likely be made. this request for tactical nuclear weapons china is on the record saying such an act would be a red line as there 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 the siege of or islamic states hold over the country

is shrinking rapidly only fifteen percent of the mains under the terror group's control and doesn't include any major cities that's according to russia's defense ministry it also says that this week alone four hundred fifty terrorists were eliminated and one hundred eighty eisel objects including ammunition depots destroyed meanwhile ten tons of humanitarian aid have been delivered to the previously. and it seems that u.s. backed kurdish militias are also heading there but from another direction the trunk or looks at what's at stake is the too long to tire forces move closer. what has the. american led coalition in northern syria been up to lately rocko short 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 its only the biggest city in the country's east which just had its blockade broken

either 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 drugs 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 in 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 shut down a suspected program drone speaking of sudden clashes breaking out as various and to arsal forces come together just recently and north american troops along with kurdish units came under fire by the turkish backed rebels the ones that loads the kurds well when it comes to the east watch this space as it gets

a bit crowded. some one hundred eighty protests and four thousand strikes are planned in france today over emanuel micron's labor reforms paris mass a. are among the city's staging actions the french president added fuel to the fire when he labeled opponents of his reform slackers something he doesn't seem to regret. ok we're going to cross live now to all. who is in paris now i know this sounds a little bit hard but can you just explain what's going on in the french capital for us. what it was billed today by one of the newspaper terrorism manual micron's tism of fire

these are the first large street protests to take place in iran since he became president in june and the reason for it so are his proposed changes to the labor laws here in france he essentially wants to make it easier for small and medium sized businesses to hire and fire personnel he wants to shake up the labor market liberalized the business market here in france and he's convinced that that's what's going to tackle the stubbornly high unemployment rate here in france it's double what it is in the u.k. and in countries like germany but many trade unions and workers here on the dead set against these planned changes they've along cherish the rights that they have been shrines in their labor laws here in france so they're taking to the streets to demonstrate against it they say they're not going to give up without a fight the action today was called by one of france's largest trade unions and the turnout today is key to find out whether these protests are going to gain momentum

there are plenty of miners here in the way we're talking about being lazy and proud and that is a reference to that gallery who've rarely but grown mate just last week talking about the opponents. these changes to the labor laws he called them lazy cynics and extremists but they seem to be rather a lot of those here if you look at the banners. it's what observers say is one of these phrases that politicians use them a case of thrown oil on the fire. and more people to come out and protest against these changes that he wants to implement take a listen to some of the people that we've spoken to here today. because this. doesn't provide workers with rights to work doesn't give privileges in both the public and private sectors we defend the interests of workers work conditions retirement.

well there are various state sector workers and private workers out protesting here today and in the past initiatives to change laws like this. they've been watered down precisely because demonstrations like this have gotten violent just like they did in the air while francois londe was still president so today has really been billed as a major showdown between a pro-business president and the trade union movement which is a little bit fragmented fragmented at the moment but they are dead set against the changes he wants to implement and they see this as the last chance really to change something about them before they're rushed through parliament rather swiftly and interesting situation. reporting from paris. i still has reportedly got

hold of thousands of blank. bells ringing in europe more news after the break. every. you get. according. to. seems wrong. just don't call. me. to shape

our. engagement. trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart week choose to look for common ground. welcome back to the program a huge trove of blank syrian passports being stolen from the government jemmy's authorities say that over eleven files in of the my to fall into the hands of islamic state adding that fake passports give the terrorists easier access to europe to all of picks up the story. eleven thousand blank syrian passports could be in the hands of isis starts 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 once filled 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 they using the opportunity to smuggle potential attackers all supporters into europe in germany undetected fake or altered passports are 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 for 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 sports was stolen from the syrian regime these documents are listed on the interpol last documents database so that the possibles 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 the problem itself is far bigger than we actually

realized and that 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 did it ill thought out 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 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 scene 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. while i still find the trying to make their way into a year of thousands of previously gone to fight the terror group in syria from abroad the lion's share foreign i saw our crews came from tunis here russia france germany and the u.k. also in the countries where a significant number of citizens left to fight for i saw. nato member turkey has signed an estimated belittle of a billion dollar deal for the purchase of russian s four hundred missile systems the s four hundred missile system deal has already been signed by officials as far as i know the first installment was also transferred this process will continue

between turkey and russia. and we can get the latest on this story from artie's k. partridge now kate what does this deal mean considering turkey is still a member of nato. well higher than a dairy yes let's look at some of the details of this particular deal as well and also as you said the ramifications of it well the delivery of this particular system is a russian four hundred system which is surface to air missiles and what we're looking at here is the first installment the first payment on a deal that we estimate is was around two point five billion u.s. dollars and russia's new system is the next generation edge of fence system and we're looking at a range of targets aerial targets ranging from aircraft and also nanda craft drones and also very in types of missiles and to take those targets down we're looking at a system that deploys three different types of missiles this new system is apparently twice as good as the old one so let's look further at some of the capabilities of this particular system it can engage up to eighty targets all at

the same time it has a maximum target range of four hundred kilometers and a maximum target speed of four point eight kilometers per second so powerful stuff we're looking in terms of those who've bought as we say we're talking about the deal china have already requested it and also it looks like india out there they're interested in this particular deal as well and it's also being deployed in syria so that that's the particular deal that's what the system can do but also one of the why do implications because we know turkey is a member of nato which has the second largest army amongst the allies there and washington has already voiced some concerns there have been some so worrying moments from the pentagon about this deal going forward which is now of course it's going through and in the meantime there's been a decline in relations between and karun washington or is it the same time we've seen an improvement between relations between ankara and moscow also at the same time when pressed president erdogan and nantz this particular deal he said that all

the differences with russia are all in the past and particularly any controller says that they might have had well in their dealings about syria. a lot to take. much for the update. well that's all round up for the news this hour don't forget to check us out on social media on facebook twitter and of course our web site that's also dot com i'll be back at the top of the hour so stay with us.

manufacture consent to public will. when the ruling classes can reject them so. we can all middle of the room. really. really. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got

off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each day. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was a case still some more fun to. those that didn't like to question our arcade and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one different person each speak to now because there are no other takers. to blame that mainstream media has met its maker.

that image was quite controversial something to soar as irresponsible something to sort of dangerous threatening whereas other people including use or as a symbol of something very different was it. powerful. protecting. us more for you know. the people who criticize you what the base. or right wing lunatic. eighteen years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with the gun i witnessed the grim results of these weapons in hospital

emergency rooms morgues in the confused of to mass of mass shooting spree. after each new massacre the newspaper headlines were always the side why did it happen here. says my book was published in the year two thousand more than half a million americans have been killed by firearms in the us. five hundred twenty seven thousand people dead and many more injured i decided to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago to understand why despite this death toll there is such fierce resistance to even moderate gun control laws in the us. is thing there was a man on the trigger that's not the picture is about he's not trying to harm

me. he's trying to protect me. i'm looking out for myself my family. my neighbors. relaxing. that part that some people would want to take our country where.
