so you become ill your job your relationship breaks down you become accountable for your. own harshly. if your. sister or. downplays the importance of the latest sanctions against north korea after they were adopted unanimously by the un security council not a big deal those are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen. nationwide protests in france turn violent as people throw projectiles. over micron's new labor law which is set to be passed this month. the road to

rocca a new documentary tells the stories of those fighting islamic state from one of the last syrian strongholds. and ninety five of ninety six russian athletes from nine different sports have reportedly been cleared of any wrongdoing by water that's according to a letter published in the us media. national line from almost a studio with me in a day or two welcome to the program donald trump seems unimpressed by the latest u.n. security council sanctions targeting north korea he says the new resolution is nothing to write home about. we think it's just another very small step. not

a big deal rex and i were just discussing. not big i don't know but has any impact but certainly it was nice to get a fifteen to nothing vote but those sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen well it's certainly disturbing to hear these words from donald trump in the aftermath of a vote at the u.n. security council that was widely perceived as a victory for a diploma saying the words that we heard from u.s. leaders on the floor of the security council were rather diplomatic and favorable to peace and cooperation at this point we're hearing u.s. leaders again talking harsh talking about the possibility of sanctions against russia and against china if they don't comply with the new u.n. resolution if china doesn't follow the sanctions we will put additional sanctions on them and prevent them from accessing the u.s. and international dollar system and that's quite meaningful so now we have these

words from trump downplaying the u.n. resolution and many people whose hopes had really been raised for peace and diplomacy being victorious well those hopes are starting to dampen the there is starting to be some some fear that perhaps once again we are in the danger of a global conflict or some kind of war breaking out and the crisis in the korean peninsula could be once again intensifying despite what was seen as a step forward for diplomacy and international cooperation this is just another dip on the roller coaster and saying this seems every week with the war where it goes up very high than than maybe this in conciliatory talk some cooperation some diplomacy and then more threats of military force and it's really hard to know what to make of this yes we do have a positive that the original u.s. draft was watered down considerably it was acceptable to the russians or the chinese but then we have this fire breathing talk coming from pyongyang we don't know what the next step is going to be could be the real question is. going to be

when do we actually get to a diplomatic track that allows both sides to step down and to my mind that's got to be something like the double freeze proposal that china has put forward the russians agree with but is absolutely unacceptable to washington it seems it's not the only white house this disaster fied with the new sanctions pyongyang isn't too happy either north korea isn't busta to russia saying it's delusional to believe that the north will break under the sanctions. we've been on the u.s. sanctions for ten years it was the u.s. that instigated the u.n. security council to come up with more resolutions on sanctions against north korea so we used to living in such conditions and we still managed to achieve everything we wanted if washington things will bend under these new measures and change our position it's delusional or when filmmaker john pilger believes that the problem lies not with pyongyang the problem is not north korea the problem is

not russia of the problem is not china the problem is the united states the problem for the rest of the world actually now is the containment of the united states sanctions are relevant and the sense to this whole debate what is needed is a peace treaty with north korea between the united states and north korea and the government in seoul but where it's all heading is the most worrying thing of all. protests have turned violent in paris where people have taken to the streets to vent their anger at the french president's labor reforms which is set to be adopted this month for files in separate strikes and almost two hundred rallies have rocked major cities across the country projectiles and flags were thrown at the paris protest.

i. was. was at the to go. opponents of the reform are angry as it gives employers more power to negotiate conditions limits compensation for dismissal and much as workers councils political reports from the paris protest. one of the big newspapers here in france and i know my son's christening all of these all the biggest street protests to take place in heaven since he was elected president this year and people here are very unhappy about the labor law that he wants to implement saying he wants to shake up the job

market and make it easier to hire and fire and now he thinks that will tackle misuse of money unemployment rate here in front. of the rate in the u.k. and germany old was we said by you can see you say that they believe that this was the likes of the employers in france i know that the employees for. this lowers anti social because it's reliable for workers. but it was a way of this law doesn't provide workers with rights to work doesn't give privileges in both the public and the private sector as we defend the interests of workers what conditions retirement should lead to a full draft or thanks eighteen million workers the majority of french workers will significantly limit their rights to make it easier. to fire people even when it's not justified the fight against am weak being billed as

a showdown between the pro-business president who's come to power to shake up the job market hands in the trade union. of the last opportunity to the sky the plan for this. is what's. over the next week. only a few months of the how and president micron's approval ratings have taken a nosedive and his recent assessment of the protestors could deliver a new blow to his popularity. i will be absolutely determined to do that i will not yield in any way not to slack because you're not cynics nuts are extremists.

who gathered here today to protest against macron and his policies which undermine the very existence of the workers from the spirit is this movement is necessary it is the response of the french people who are protecting their rights. to syria now where islamic states grip over the country is fast loose thing with no major city any longer fully under the terror group's control one of the main fronts

is there is still where the syrian army is not close to pushing eisel out of the city people have already started to return there after three years has broken with the help of russian air power that's despite some pockets of vital resistance remaining in certain districts. half our. odds. are they told us first don't forget you're in syria if you get all about it second it's you have to go to bed early t.v.'s banned radios banned cell phones are banned a woman can go outside dressed so that the only thing which can be seen is her eyes . so it largely built we saw them breaking into houses then they approached our house they were banging on our doors banging and banging for the first i didn't open it for

them but they smashed it down inside and smashed up all the things in the house. i spent seven days in the jail then i was taken to the chief of the court sentenced me to sixty lashes they made me stand against the wall was a teacher. for the old enough to my next year and i were driving along the main road when a bomb or not a fragment of the bomb hit my nephew and he died yesterday we didn't have enough time to save him some people called an ambulance but he couldn't be saying that he died even before he got to the field hospital. lemond. when we were living under the blockade we had no cucumbers tomatoes apples

are pretty gross i have all that now thank god we get brochures and food boxes from the red cross we're very grateful to them that much i'm very happy that the blockade has been lifted. along with civilians a syrian army brigade was trapped inside there is so during the siege it held and defended several blocks of the city including a military airport we managed to talk to the bases chief commander. so. a siege was also imposed on the airport this siege was quite severe since i still terrorists attacked the airport another military points daily we had an operations room and everyone knew his duty to tanks had their role the soldier had his role the leaders were side by side with the soldiers we fought to the death none of our soldiers ran away and we defeated eisel and their bodies were in the ground even before the siege was broken we received munitions by air drop because all the roadways were under eisel control and using those munitions we fought eisel and won

they weren't able to break any of our lines hundreds of them were killed all their attacks against the airport failed even when using car bombs and suicide attacks we faced them down bravely. in the front in the effort to rid syria of terrorism in iraq where i still is also on the back foot altie documentary travel to the scene of fierce clashes to film those who are battling islamic state. rock is now surrounded by u.s. backed syrian democratic forces consisting mainly of kurdish militias clashes are ongoing if the terrorists are still in control of several blocks of the city we spoke to the director of the documentary about what team went through the filming. when we went to make this film we had no idea what we're going to come across we

had literally no idea we started to build our story. three points are on the road to rock and the first point was the medical point the second point was the women's point and the foreign volunteers point. was. the one quality that you know it's all of them is the very altruistic they're very idealistic anybody want to criticize them and say well they're coming like foreign militias to fight a war that's not theirs but it says they mean they think it's their war i says acting community every country and it's like people are paying attention for one day two days and acting as if everything will be normal. as you know that's not what we were talked several times there was snipers usually so the main problems

around iraq are snipers and mines and the drones the little drones that isis sons with little grenades so they drop the grenade and groups boards and there's actually one that attacked us well we were not have been on a permission yet we were about to go to operation. the grenade exploded in midair so it dropped from it didn't calculate the height so if it fell lower it would be done. the most shocking story was one that happened when it got to be morning and when everything got to be peaceful and all of a sudden someone showed up with a huge sword. and started beating random things just executed it's true

a few minutes or maybe an hour ago. these three kids all of a sudden maybe two minutes later we heard screaming and he just started running into a space just started running there without a rifle just with it with a sword i think. strikes from the americans because they probably sold them on satellite so they were isis. was one of the medics said that we were filming. we were the only generation that will never say we want to go back to the days when we were young. and it's true. and accounts from one of the key battlegrounds in syria you can watch the full documentary on national next monday. ninety five. from nine different schools have reportedly been cleared of any wrongdoing by. joins us next to discuss this.

the future we don't know are you going to. everyone in the world should your period leave and you'll get the old the old. the old according. to. you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to do socks for the tell you that will be gossiping probably by itself a little to. talk about telling you on the cool enough to buy their product. the hawks that we along with all on

walking. welcome back to the program ninety five of ninety six russian athletes from nine different sports have reportedly been cleared of any wrongdoing by water that's according to a letter published in the u.s. media ati's kate partridge is across the story this letter was from an internal water report want to be in the world anti-doping agency and that is set to be said that going by insufficient evidence that's the key phrase here that ninety five ninety six russian athletes that have been implicated across nine different sports have now been cleared so as we know this is something that's been hanging around for wasn't the mclaren report they gave evidence of apparently there are occasions

of state sponsored doping and everything then has been carried on from there but we have had some early questioning is all of them a car report the i.o.c. actually the international olympic committee they do also raise questions about the mccarren report the key point that they had used is how to demonstrate that came up time and time again based on those allegations so that the have been rumblings that some of these allegations that some of the athletes implicated we're talking about a lot of athletes i mean if you look at how they affected the paralympics all the russian team couldn't go to the paralympics they were fit to be banned and also one hundred eighteen russian police from the rio games also didn't go so if we look at all those parties the blanket bans how it affected those who are guilty and of course those who are innocent as well have been affected over the past couple of years it's not down to how the process continues going to find these athletes have effectively been given the all clear by wada so now it's a case of all the international sporting federations coming together saying that's rubbish stop this let's put our cases forward and get the rest of the athletes cleared. well to discuss this further john good body from the sunday times joins me

live now to share his reaction john welcome to the. program now a large number of athletes if we start with this although not officially but they're on their way to be exulted. what does this prove about the metatron reports . in your opinion was it was it wrong in the beginning not necessarily a no i mean these are people whom there was some evidence that was out. those findings against and now the world anti-doping agency was as you said in your report now i've got to look at this and also the international olympic committee the water foundation board meet in november and it will be a vote decision on. what to recommend to make to the both the international olympic committee and also the international paralympic committee

you'll recall of course last year when i was in rio de international power limpet committee banned all russian competitors from taking part and we're now waiting to see the reports from the international olympic committee and from the international paralympic committee to see whether that ban will take place for next year's winter olympics which take place simply on trying next february if we look though john at what's come out today ninety five out of ninety six as an incredibly high number and it did as you just mentioned resulted in a blanket ban for the paralympic team and obviously all the athletes as well at the rio olympics. with the numbers being so high now all of them being played how can it be justified that thought was the right decision at the time. because so many

russian competitors have been found positive from the two thousand and eight two thousand and twelve olympics and also the mao practice that is alleged to have taken place when russia has staged the winter olympics in two thousand to fourteen new tsotsi. and it's the belief of mclaren as you pointed out though he says it was state sponsored doping. this is something that six three many serious for and was and will be for international sport until russia takes two major steps the first one is to have our proper age to see conducting tests in russia and the second one is that they accept the reports that mclaren made saying but there was state sponsored doping but these results come out it's

a lack of evidence and russia has not denied that there has been a doping problem and doping is not confined to russia but it does appear that other nations have not had as much attention all the same treatment so so again how can you justify the actions that were taken then. because it's the extent of the doping that was taking place in russia in iraq huge variety of sports. in sports like athletics for instance and weightlifting sports with which rusher is real now. and it's because of that are two of far greater extent heard in other countries but the international paralympic committee took their stance last year as the retiring president of philip craven said it was a question of russia having our medals over more or the something which he said

disgusted him ok we've run out of time but thank you very much for coming on to the program jon good body there from the sunday times thanks to. the president of the european commission john claude youngcare has delivered his state of the union address in strasbourg he started by thanking only twenty seven of the twenty eight members of the e.u. despite the fact that the u.k. will continue to be part of the block for another one and a half years from britain instead of thanks he had a warning of not stimulus looks on march the twenty ninth two thousand and one teen the united kingdom will leave the e.u. it will be a sad and tragic moment. we will always regret this and you will regret it quite soon. at the end of the address iran got up and applauded except for a group of british army peas among them the hard core bricks a tear nigel for ours a bit later while another year a skeptic m.e.p.a.

launched into a verbal attack on america's vision of europe the commission chief left the chamber . you know. wants to force the european union to become a single state yet we know that the euro is not a success story we have extraordinary levels of debt unemployment and social instability the second thing you can wants is to get rid of all international borders. of thousands hundreds of thousands millions of arabs and africans common to our continent. around after the news this hour don't forget to check us out on social media we're on facebook twitter and of course our website that's our to dot com i'll be back at the top of the hour so stay with us.

i. can only donald trump ran a campaign that not only question many foreign policy orthodoxies but also lashed out against new conservative views of the world today the president is surrounded by men in uniform some are calling this a soft coup. paddies and was a situation like israel and palestine is not a country where i meet

a lot of people. everybody. is a very serious situation people have been much more to sixty. day . greetings and salutations today talk watchers let's talk about trails live on t.v. the dirty word that no credible same news anchor should ever read shouldn't live television oh my goodness yes come trails now if you travelled on a conspiracy site online you'll find a whole smorgasbord of different kinds of some that some skinny some bunk some honest but today we're going to focus on the pesticide variety the pesticide

variety that is currently being deployed to the hurricane harvey ravaged region of east texas to help combat the coming swarms of insects like mosquitoes and flies who love multiplying exponentially in the heavily polluted standing water left in the wake of the massive flooding that overtook that area and while i massive effort to control the spread of disease and bugs through a pesticide spraying campaign may look good on paper for the short term especially for those corporate chemical giants and the pundits pesticide industry the after effects the after effects name may not be so great for you know the rest of us in the long term yes long term a word paring more frightening to politicians corporations and waltz. street traders than them trail could ever hope to be you see the primary pesticide used for killing mosquitoes and bulk by the airport's reserves according to their press release the environmental protection agency approved unregulated material nala

a pesticide that according to mint press nudes is currently banned in the in the european union to the unacceptable risk it presents to human health like the people of east texas and florida haven't had enough risk in their lives lately now we're going to start pouring pesticides on them i think it's time to start watching the hawks. it's the politics it's. like you know that i got. this. week. watching the hawks i am to a robot.
