a. london underground train leaves at least twenty two people injured including children police say. doesn't talk to making it the fifth in the u.k. this year. you know their stories were across this. migration chief change of heart on border controls in the shed and in their area after calling for checks to be dropped he goes on to say that the block may still need protections. pyongyang fires have been over just for the second time in just over

a fortnight. drills simulating a strike on the north korean military. just after four pm here this friday september the fifteenth i'm going to nail a little welcome we begin in london where the number of people injured in a bomb blast on a chub train in the south west of the city has now risen to twenty two police are treating the attack as terrorists witnesses report seeing a fireball of terror through the carnage officers say though that the only partially detonated on the destruction could have been far worse.

what is lost to. the baby in the. pockets. of this. place makes. the matter has been declared them to terrorist related incident. well with more on today's a telling me on going investigation i'm joined now by our correspondent in london to see a churkin on see a lot of information coming in and drips and drabs of course from the investigation what are the latest what do we know. well you know basically it definitely wants of information coming in very quickly throughout this morning we're really close just outside parsons green tube station on the district line in southwest london where

this explosion did take place earlier today at eight twenty am during rush hour lots of people were headed to work sort of certainly lots of commuters we have heard that as many as two hundred fifty people were evacuated throughout london earlier today not in connection to this incident however also twenty two people were taken to hospitals with injuries and this is something that certainly is a huge concern here now considering this is the fifth terror related incident to take place in the u.k. this year alone and we do know that a manhunt is currently underway as far as we understand there are no suspects as of yet and nobody has been arrested however hundreds of detectives including the counterterrorism unit of the met police are involved in this manhunt as well as trying to figure out what led up to this topic how. examining c.c.t.v. footage trying to figure out whether this explosive device was detonated by somebody in. the train station there have been some media reports that have suggested that

a timer could have been placed on this however these are these reports are yet to be verified this is what the metropolitan police have said so far today. we know a service that this was a determination of didn't promote improvised explosive device. to this particular can expect ceiling fans police presence physically across transport system across today. well another question is whether or not the terrorist threat level is going to be lifted following a cobra meeting taking place including a british prime minister tourism a which is something we're going to be watching throughout the day and we have to say when this explosive device where it went off it was quite a hectic scene some eyewitnesses described it as a stampede with people trying to leave the location obviously those injured and this is what eyewitnesses have been telling us throughout the day. part in mumbai is the sound explosion sound of an i took x. a public pictures sit next to tosha in a carriage

a few jumping over all will light up with the choice they should we all jump and go into the steve jumping into of a piece. that you understand most. will certainly lots of questions to come not about specifically this latest incident but certainly in terms of whether or not enough is being done in terms of security here in london as well as in the u.k. given again this is the first time an attack like this takes place in the u.k. in recent months and we know that we've heard from our leaders throughout the world making comments on what has unraveled here earlier today and specifically the u.s. president donald trump was true to fashion referred to quote loser terrorists we've obviously also heard from the london mayor and this is what he had to say about this latest incident. charice talk this morning was a boy the evil cult leader individuals to kill. to disrupt our way of life so. well certainly like we said

a manhunt is now under way no suspects no arrests quite yet but certainly as the day on robinson as this investigation continues we are hoping to find out exactly who and why was this behind this latest attack here in london live from london alysia churkin to bring us right up to date but what we know since eight twenty am local time it occurred thank you very much well let's go discuss this morning's attack with chris philips chris is the former head of the u.k.'s national security office. are. you on the line there just making sure you're there police are not saying the explosive device only partially went off it is being reported it had a timer and was more designed for death gratian rather than detonation how much worse could this actually have been when you look at the size of what we saw and not carnage today. no it could have been

a lot worse in fact i think the injuries the fairly. i think what we've seen in the past these people trying to make homemade explosives using things that you can buy in the local shop and it's not easy to do you can do it for sure but of course if you don't get the mixture right as we saw back in two thousand and five in london then the devices don't necessarily go off and i think what we saw here today was the death of a exploding. causing a fire a flood fire which is then obviously those people around it but yes it could have been so much worse the explosion taking place. just the overall picture here chris twenty seven has seen more terror related arrests a lot of years in previous times but we are seeing even more attacks five this year there were only four terror attacks from twenty ten so there's. or this year than in the past seven years combined it is something not working or said it

a sense of three simply overloaded with terror attacks in this in the capital. now i think when you go to look upon this is a worldwide issue in this terrorist attack happening more now than ever before what i would say is that the there are just such an enormous number of people across the world that are willing to do this and of course with the internet and the ability of information to be available on how to do it it's quite simple for someone to put one of these things together and we saw actually just a few months ago a guy in north hit someone with autism in another part of london actually left a device not dissimilar to this. train so it's not just hardened terrorists that might do this it's also people that i consider and call the mad bad and sad in society that might just want to do something ridiculous like this and of course if you let a bomb off in

a tube carriage is it's going to kill people for sure but nevertheless it is the third attack in london in the past six months and i witnesses we've spoke to chris right that morning here they're saying you know no longer feel completely safe in london is there is a possible to do anything to change that particular view. well i mean this is the terrorism threat in london and in other countries is rising there's no doubt about that there's it's just a fact and if i can only last week we had a flight in paris where they found explosives being made so unfortunately this is a worldwide problem london has got the same issues as everywhere else and of course we've got we've got the man in society and also those people that are hardened terrorists or doing it for a particular terrorist cause that are causing these these things to happen and it's not. going to go away is going to get worse so you can only see. right across

europe right across the world just on the causes then no one has yet claimed responsibility for today's attack but we know the four previous ones in twenty seven have all been claimed by isael is there any link between the intensity of terror related instance as you say throughout europe and the losses suffered by jet harvest we see them being squeezed in the middle east. that's part of the issue what you didn't quote is actually those aside the guy on the new left a bomb on a train who wasn't anything to do with our system we've also had someone from the far right wing the. people most with saddam or so we've just got a situation now where islamic terrorists extremists as well as others are choosing terrorism as a form of attack and of course it is a growing problem it is something that we need to deal with as a society within london within the u.k. but also within the world and the next attack could well be somewhere else in

europe one of our other cities we've seen that's actually brussels paris and of course of course russia as well so this is a big problem for the world and this is actually something that the world needs to come together and police forces around the world need to come together in order to try and solve chris phillips former head of the u.k. national security office thanks for your time and thoughts this hour. we'll either use tara chief said earlier this month there are as many as twenty five thousand radical extremists in britain that's more than in any other european country three thousand of them are considered a direct threat to the u.k. by intelligence agency m i five five hundred of them are under constant surveillance in the studio by our own who's being taken a look over some of the more disturbing figures of of today as we're talking about nikki the fifth terror attack this year alone that's right yeah. details about this latest explosion and the capital the summit merging throughout the day more details

coming through but it only took two hours off of that explosion this morning for scotland yard to confirm that this is a terror attack that we're looking at here making this the fifth terror attack on u.k. so since the beginning of this year we can take a look back and remind ourselves of some of the previous a time to be scared.

fortunately no face polities have been reported in this morning's blast on parsons green but it is the first time we've seen a terrible latest explosion on the london tube train in over a decade to toss the mines back to two thousand and five two the suicide bombing attacks on the london cheap so today has really of folk to have memories of thought dreadful time back then now this incident does come a day off to the u.k. home office said that the number of terror related arrests in britain has risen by sixty eight percent over the supposed year indeed past it but hits a new record high with suspects more than one suspect a day being held and questioned by police so what today's incident does show is the security services in the u.k. all. precedented and i'm pretty sure that the u.k.

prime minister to raise the money is going to be facing questions whether that security london underground has been in the security by the way we should just reiterate there have been no arrests made yet to we're waiting to hear and not try to bring yourself the dates with today's attack and the previous ones as well thank you. well in view of the increased number of terror attacks as nic has just been speaking about the question of border security is high on the agenda the e.u. commissioner for migration has seemingly how the change of heart on shandon border controls after a meeting with the interior minister our europe correspondent peter all over again tell us more and join to say live the program peter what does change then for the commissioner. well essentially union this is probably the most recently

the quickest policy u.-turn i've seen from a senior politician in a long time it was demetrius of the e.u. migration commissioner he was holding this meeting on thursday evening with interior ministers from the e.u. countries on those members of the shang end zone and they were talking about external border checkpoints passport checks as you enter countries that exist within the the free travel zone of shame game now if you cast your mind back to twenty sixteen and a number of countries austria denmark germany sweden and norway brought in passport checks as you crossed on to their borders now this was following the influx of migrants in twenty fifteen into twenty sixteen over a million people arriving in europe there was also security concerns as well and these particular border checks well they're supposed to expire but the right to

have them a supposed to expire in november of this year unless they are prolonged now heading into this meeting mr abbott of our policy spoke to journalists and he seemed almost certain there was no way that these were going to be prolonged during the last two years we should be working in crisis mode. now this is the moment to step out of the groceries or i believe this is the moment to to go back to the not among function of washington. but he was singing a very different tune when he came out of the meeting let's have a listen to him now in new security challenges. during the last. serious as the most. recent. this shrink and go to school may not be sufi simply adopted.

the evolving security challenges. just shows it's certainly seems that the interior minister is having some strong words for the migration commissioner there the mention though it's all to present the threats that have faced we've seen just last month and attack a terrorist attack in barcelona and of course what we're seeing on friday is a terrorist incident still unfolding in london right now. it all over from berlin bring us up to date without a speck thank you very much well many are unhappy with the e.u. migrant chief's initial call to end the stricter border controls germany along with neighboring austria thinks that it's too easy or too early excuse me to give up on the chicks the german position is clear as long as the external borders are not secure enough there will also be the requirement for controls at the internal

borders to stop illegal immigration and avoid unlawful border crossings we must adapt the deadlines for eternal border controls to the real challenges three other countries have also said they want to prolong the chinks an austrian m.p. we spoke to say's they are essential for safety in europe. security cannot be achieved only by border controls but it's a mean at least to know who is coming and who is going the problem is that many states including australia specially germinated have developed a jurisdiction that grants asylum to around fifty percent of the people lost we create sort of vokoun sucking the migrants to europe the union is unable to unwilling or unable and unwilling to protect the borders to stop the influx of migrations and that's some member states including austria germany but some others

as well we link to stop. inducing the migrants it is a must if there is no other way to stop the illegal in the sense of migration to open the borders have to be closed i hope that you will come to. will come back to reality and accept that border controls are essentially for the time coming as long as they don't really solve the problem of illegal migration over the past number of years europe has seen a whole range of deadly terror attacks where free movement within the e.u. seemingly played into the hands of the terrorists.

twenty minutes into the news hour let's go on to other global stories were across the north korea continues to ignore calls for calm after it fired a missile over the northern japanese island of ok to the latest act of aggression in the regional crisis over appealing young's weapons program japanese citizens in several regions were warned to find shelter as the missile passed over with the

details here's killam up. we have heard at this point that the missile has touched down in the pacific ocean at this point they're calling it an unidentified missile we are getting some new details about the missile itself it actually traveled a total of two thousand three hundred miles that's three thousand seven hundred kilometers before falling into the pacific ocean and that it reached an altitude of four hundred eighty miles into the sky and many are suspecting that this is a response to the united nations security council recently there were new sanctions imposed on the d.p. r. k. at the u.n. security council north korea promised a response this is being seen by many people as that response now we're also hearing from south korea the president of south korea has called for an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council to discuss this recent launch with the general assembly in full swing here in the month of september with a big week many world leaders speaking in the following week so this is quite

a time for an action like this to take place all eyes are on the united nations and on the korean peninsula this old combs tested on earth to surface missile on. imitating a strike on a north korean military bunker. i i i i. i. they taurus missile you just saw there is capable of striking any target in north korea so will has also recently been holding military drills with the u.s. in the face of six nuclear weapon test by north korea with. well some inside korea also being pushing for u.s. nuclear weapons to be deployed on the peninsula the country's president in possibility poll reports from so. president moon said he does not agree that offending tactical nuclear weapons would improve security here on the

peninsula i do not agree that south korea needs from develop our own nuclear weapons or relocate article nuclear weapons in the face of north korea's latest threat. to north korea by having our own nuclear weapons will not maintain peaceful the dream the new salon however as moon has already demonstrated the option of introducing two different types of advanced military equipment to the peninsula is not entirely out of the question considering we witnessed the deployment of that here very recently a missile defense system despite heavy protests poll shows sixty percent of south koreans did support the act but to get a different perspective i sat down today with one woman who organized the main demonstrations against the deployment of the process of deployment of thought in south korea it's not the mccarthy at all it was not transparent the government did not get any consultation or agreement from the villagers living in some june as

well as there was no discussion proper discussion in the pilot and the deployment process has been very transparent we say that this is a part of the us people. so the official reason of deployment is to protect the south korea from the threats from north korea but then we believe that this is not going to work in that way well there you have it it seems tensions escalating on the korean peninsula have much to do with the u.s. pivot towards asia it was a pivot begun by obama and just how far president trump is willing to take it remains to be seen. in the middle east and syria where the fighting to force islamic states a lot of the during is reaching the russian navy supporting the syrian military it's a number of targets close to the city. seven cruise missiles were launched from two submarines stationed in the med russia's the

french ministry says that ice all command and communications posts as well as we are spoiled it's. the strikes come just ten days after syrian troops reached the city and broke a three year long siege there we heard from locals a both their experiences during the blockade. if you had a lot of each and i live a plane. me up five now. i know. that next saturday. i had lived at. the schooner so to come i don't. know if.

historic inside but it could easily mean oil jokes aside it's to jihad it's dearest resource otherwise no oil no money no caliph it. it's long been known by everyone after i saw airstrikes russian or american have largely targeted all convoys and any visible bit of an overly sophisticated smuggling infrastructure the un were trying to deal with it they clamp down on buyers but islamic state aka the seemingly invincible all smuggling empire persevered various estimates suggested that at some point i supplied gold revenues ranged from one to three million u.s. dollars a day and invincible though wasn't the right word dyess began losing land as well

as the areas where they get crude in the first place. so when it comes to ridding syria of i saw let me go through some stones that could be no less crucial than retaking rock up eyes on the map and the all rich parts of the country remember no oil no caliphate. outside palmira damascus troops struggled to take back control but eventually got hold of it and then moved further east also right here a massive victory for the kurds was to clinch the oil field near our house from and that brings us to dare as zoar province where there is more crude than anywhere else in syria it's here that islamic state is still holding on and to prevent flags from ever popping up in syria or iraq you now know what it takes no more black gold
