on chelsea international live from moscow studio with mina due to the welcome to the program around four thousand separate strikes and almost two hundred protest of ends are being held in france today as unions make a stand over the president's labor reforms and city of paris small say nor have all seen large scale action and money on micron had earlier branded opponents of the reforms as slackers and he's sticking to his words. it made it clear. that if you know it. was in paris so polly the unions they promised a day of disruption have they delivered its.
9:02 am
own. thing really been galvanized by this to that it may just last week. the cynics in exactly the misleading things we have batted legs. they live mistreats and there seems to be a lot of them living. here we've been with. somebody that was a mistake a fad that everyone here who is very savvy they can't believe the changes to the label that it wants to push through slightly differently during the fall and then there is a sense of what would it be able to pull the railway company but many people have been walking with the funds fair operated there in france who are also i guess the changes to the local ounds entertaining media and all the phone lines making easy edible french businesses to hire and fire because he wants to liberalize to make
9:03 am
labor market leading makers and that's what's going to pull the stubbornly high unemployment rate here but the trade unions are having none of it they say that that's against it take a listen to what some of the people we've spoken to have to say. this lower is anti social because it's. goodbye to the wall. doesn't provide workers with rights to work doesn't give privileges in both the public and the private sector we defend the interests of workers. well conditions retirement. eighty million. french workers. limit their rights to make it easier to fire people it's not justified. now today is key because over the summer. quite
9:04 am
a lot of the national debt in. the opposition they made some peace offerings to some of the unions here and some of them. joined in the protests today said this will be a big test to see whether these demonstrations. and whether they stick but they're all one hundred eighty taking place across france today many. as i said state and private sector. similar changes to the like this been able to be pushed through by president francois hollande that was a protest against the previous changes to the label earlier this year which got violent so. to push these bills through. instead of being here in france today and facing these demonstrations he's jetted off the caribbean in order to deal with the fallout of hurricane there in samarra town which is of course a french dependency but today really being billed as a showdown between
9:05 am
a pro-business president who wants to shake up the labor market here and the trade unions saying this really is the last opportunity to do something just stop these laws being changed pushed through quite swiftly and. in the middle of france thanks very much. the u.n. security council's agreed new sanctions against north korea the latest resolution prohibits the purchase. of textiles of the country it also was strikes the hiring of north koreans as foreign workers plus as a cap on pyongyang's that will importance but the documents hugely watered down from what was originally proposed by the us correspondent. 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.
9:06 am
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.
9:07 am
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
9:08 am
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 group 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. and this we have think a diplomatic solution to the crisis is still possible. i think that they wanted
9:09 am
some action to be taken and they knew that china and i believe also russia would not go along with what the draft was that it was really a 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 by 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 distributing. the most extremes that changed and. perhaps even historically this latest round of sanctions which was supposed to be extremely hard hitting but in the last into the light of both russia and china in pushing for diplomacy actually signals
9:10 am
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 we can't. russia and china are still calling for a double freeze plan mentioned earlier by our correspondent under the scheme pyongyang would stop its nuclear and ballistic missile tests and in return american south korea would halt their military exercises ahead of the vote the north korean leader warned that washington would pay the price if the resolution was passed and power until reports from seoul. considering this ancient 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.
9:11 am
gangsters and promised pain and suffering. the feelings coming measures to be taken by the d.p. ok recalls the u.s. the greatest free 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. been very special to you. because they have nuclear weapons. has to be. thinking despite much talk out of seoul underscoring their commitment to a diplomatic solution this week it was announced by office ition a lawmaker as they will in lieu of requests for u.s.
9:12 am
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. hear what i have said. or not is to. try and. put some kind of sense. that somebody 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. 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.
9:13 am
the syrian army breaking the siege of de vries or islamic state hold over the country is rapidly collapsing only fifteen percent of syria remains under the tyro group's control and that no longer includes any major cities that's according to russia's defense ministry it also says this week alone four hundred fifty terrorists were killed and a hundred and eighty eisel objects including ammunition depots destroyed meanwhile ten tons of humanitarian aid being delivered to the previously. and it seems that u.s. backed kurdish militias are also heading there but from another direction. looks 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 short thing but there's more here's this weekend statement by the guys in charge of an hard to resolve syrian arab coalition commences offensive tools don't resume. darragh zor
9:14 am
it's only the biggest city in the country's east which just had its blockade broken i grew our god. fearing government troops are already inside doing the d. isolating so why would the coalition get involved ah 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 motion 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
9:15 am
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. airstrike 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 shot down a suspected pro regime drone speaking of sudden clashes breaking out as various and forces come together just recently and north american troops along with kurdish
9:16 am
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 near their resort. i still has reportedly got hold of thousands of blank policy board setting alarm bells ringing in europe that animal after this break.
9:17 am
what politicians do you should continue to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express interest. in something want to watch. it you'd like. to see what we. were able to get. interested in the long. there should be a. welcome mat for the program a huge trove of blanks or in past posts has been stolen from the country's government jemmy's authorities say that over eleven thousand of them i to fall into the hands of islamic state to adding that fake passports give the terrorists easy access to europe to all of our picks up the story. eleven thousand blank syrian
9:18 am
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 a using your butt unity 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
9:19 am
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 able to him if he'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 syrian 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 last documents database so that
9:20 am
the possibles can be matched with passports presented on a right. not quite as a attitude to 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 sheer number of terrorist incidents we witnessed over the last three years the link to isis in european countries shows 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 this thousands and i think that definitely going to be struggling to it's a cope and woefully incapable of doing such german authorities uncovered eight and 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
9:21 am
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 as 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 eisel recruits came from tunisia russia france germany and the u.k. also mind the countries from where a significant number of citizens left to fight for i saw. many of those who went to syria and iraq to fight for islamic state brought their families along with them but the terror group suffering other string of major defeats the wives and children of a large number of killed fighters have ended up in refugee camps with uncertain futures auti was first to talk to some of the widows all foreign extremists in an iraqi camp where hundreds of families are stranded the location and identities will not
9:22 am
be disclosed for their safety. the legal fate of the wives advice of 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 eisel find his be treated in the same way as other islamist extremists well we discuss the issue with political commentators andre walker and no one saw. 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
9:23 am
a state that isn't the united kingdom isn't america isn't rocher isn't even chechnya these are people who are dangerous extremist terrorists and what i hope will happen and i sincerely think all of our country should support syria and iraq ensuring these people are prosecuted are brought to justice while 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 part of these atrocities certainly the wives and children innocent victims in this place 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 place no risk to the state it's let's be clear what the argument that no one saw is making is that you are an adult have chosen to join
9:24 am
a terrorist organization and just because you're married you should have no responsibility for that whatsoever but what mr ibish are saying nothing but you are in a terrorist organization so i want to know this have you make your own piece of this is a sideline for you and besides it was so let's be clear on my position let's be clear what i did and look if you actually look a little later name for yourself as a going for the majority in iraq just take the air piece out and 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 they may want the children who are entirely innocent to return to the united kingdom and with that in mind i'll 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
9:25 am
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 armed 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. to member turkey has signed an estimated billion dollar deal to buy russia's advanced four hundred missile system. the as 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 while the delivery of this particular system is a russian s four hundred system which is surface to air missiles and what we're looking at here is the first installment the first payment on
9:26 am
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 at 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 sec you deal china have already requested it and also it looks like india are there they're interested in this particular deal as well and it's also being deployed in syria so that is that's the particular deal that's what the system can do but also what are the why do implications as we know turkey is
9:27 am
a member of nato it 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 now of course it's going through and in the meantime there's been a decline in relations between anchor and washington or is it the same time we've seen an improvement between ankara and wasco also at the same time when pressed president to announce this particular deal he said that all the differences with russia are all in the past and particularly any control this is that they might have had well in their dealings about syria. up of a new thing don't forget to check us out on social media on facebook twitter and of course our website vote for. i'll be back at the top of the hour so stay with us.
