be the one percent. we can all. sit. still in a london under growing train leaves at least twenty two people injured including children. i just suddenly saw lots of people running towards me to panic mode i knew that something state is a cop and police say they are treating the. making at the fifth in the u.k. this year. also had the store team used to be used migration chief change of heart on border controls in the shandon area after calling for checks to be dropped saying about the block may still need protections. young young foreigners

a ballistic missile over japan the second time in just over two weeks this comes after a side career carried i drilled simulating a strike on a north korean military bunker. live from moscow this friday evening just after six pm here with r.t. international my names you know neal. we started in london the number of people injured in a bomb blast on a chub train in the soft west of the city has now risen to twenty two police are treating the attack as terror related witnesses reported seeing a fireball terror through the cards. officers say though that the device only

partially detonated on mt the destruction could have been far worse. than this. place takes. it's. just what is gnostic memory of the baby in a cot with the mom. if. the matter has been declared a counter terrorist related incident. with more on today's attack going investigation here's our correspondent in london on

this to see a church. we're still outside parsons green tube station which is just behind me behind that cordoned off area where journalists have been parking all throughout this morning when after an explosive device went off inside one of the trains on the district line at eight twenty am this morning this device detonated partially raising lots of questions about whether or not more damage could have been caused how did it exploded fully we do know that a manhunt is currently underway officials have not made any statements or concerns of possible suspects or arrests having been made quite yet we do know that for the british prime minister to resign me posted over meeting where this situation was analyzed these threat level remains at severe that means that a terrorist attack is highly likely but this will be kept under review is the investigation progresses and the public should go about their daily lives but remain vigilant and people who are traveling in london will see an increased peace

presence on the transport network and they will see security will be increased in the police will of course do what is necessary to protect the public while we have to of course keep in mind that this is indeed the fifth terror related incident to take place in the u.k. within recent months really causing lots of concern and the scene earlier today one after the explosion took place was indeed quite chaotic eye witnesses have described it as a stampede when people were trying to get out of the tube station because he said the crowd loved it it was reported earlier today that as many as two hundred fifty people were evacuated not in relation to this incident but certainly twenty two people had been taken to hospitals including children and this is what eyewitnesses have been saying have been saying earlier today friday mumbai is the sound explosion sound and i tell our audience a public theater sit next to do tosha not carry a few jumping overboard although like the other choice they should we all jump and go into the speech drop it into

a piece. you understand. well while this investigation continues obviously trying to figure out who specifically was behind this attack whether it was one individual or several people those questions are yet to be answered one of the officials to have reacted to this latest incident in london was u.s. president donald trump who not only true to fashion referred to terrorists as quote losers but he also seemed to have taken a job at the way british officials have been handling the situation it seems because he has somehow insinuated that this particular person behind this attack could have been in the sights of scotland yard referring to previous cases where it was in fact revealed that people involved in attacks that had taken place in the u.k. were somehow monitored by officials yet were still able to carry out these attacks theresa may did reiterate to this that an investigation is ongoing right now so it's too early to comment but this is certainly something that's going to be watched as an investigation continues. we used to 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 any intelligence agency and five on five hundred of them are under constant surveillance earlier we discussed the incident with parties nic you're. details about this latest explosion and the capital they're still emerging throughout the day more details coming through but it only took two hours after 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 attacks because here.

fortunately no face hannity's 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 a london tube train in over a decade to toss the mines back to two thousand and five to the suicide bombing attacks on the london chip so today has really of folk term memories of that dreadful time back then now this incident does come a day after the u.k.

home office said that the number of terror related arrests in britain has risen by sixty eight percent over last year indeed that's hit by 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 that security services in the u.k. are facing a. precedented direct and i'm pretty sure that the u.k. prime minister to raise the money is going to be facing questions of whether security on london underground has been overlooked in the security and. let's delve a little bit deeper into some of the points nicky was making there and go live to for some expert analysis only is a former m i five intelligence officer good to have you on the program. indeed just about the logistics if we could start with out of what is happening no army m i five the police are now on a joint mom hunt for the suspect is such a joint operation in common in this instance i think such joint

operations being common for many decades now and they started because of the threat from the provisional ira back in the one nine hundred eighty s. and one nine hundred ninety s. and the valving relationship between the counterterrorism police and m i five is an ongoing and ever developing scenario and they have done and will continue to no doubt some very good work but i think it's slightly concerning many of these attackers in the u.k. this year have already turned out to be on the radar of the intelligence services so you know something somewhere is not quite meshing they seem to be falling through the cracks because there's too much intelligence coming in because of mass surveillance or just because there's. not good communication between the police and the intelligence agencies which you know has been known to occur in the past if we could look. a little bit later or just want to show you what donald trump said because trees i'm a was are after the cobra meeting the emergency cabinet meeting the comments that

the u.s. president made on the matter who said the u.k. police knew the suspect essentially here's what treason. prime minister don't trump has intervened to say that this was carried out by people who scotland yard had in its sights does he know something we don't. never think it's helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation as i've just said the police and security services are working to discover the full circumstances of this cowardly attack and to identify all those responsible well it is too early to speculate but still does donald trump have a point but more often than not those responsible for attacks are known to authorities. absolutely and in fact he's got into trouble in the past already with the u.k. government and the police investigations after another terrorist attack in the u.k. which was the manchester bombing where information appeared to have been passed to

the americans in good faith and then put out in the public in the fairly very early hours of the police investigation which kind of course in peterson investigation by tipping off soci its potential associates of the terrorist suspect but also there have been reports as well to say i don't know how true is that the police identified the alleged suspect from c.c.t.v. on one of the tube stations during the journey so if they were able to do that within a matter of hours it would imply indeed that they could match up the c.c.t.v. image with a picture they already held suspects so it would imply that perhaps the person that they suspect of this attack was already known to them. we are talking about a city of course those more c.c.t.v. cameras than any other city on earth aren't we twenty seven dean has seen incredible amount of attacks more terrible a good arrests on record as well but we are still seeing optic increase in attacks is that just the deluge of attacks going on here or is there something just not

working. i think it's a bit of both i mean certainly isis has had its territory squeezed in the middle east by the various initiatives against it this year the so-called leadership of isis put out very public messages over social media and you know to its followers as well as to returning jihadi from europe going back into europe to carry out these lone wolf attacks to keep the fight going in europe because they could no longer do it in their shrinking territories in the middle east so i think there will be a sort of wave of returning jihadi so there will also be a social media wave an internet wave to encourage radicalized so-called lone wolves who voice state in their home countries to carry out these attacks. but i also think as well that despite the best efforts of the intelligence agencies and the police it's simply very very difficult to try and police and protect people against lone wolves. to try and get into someone's mindset to say today is the day they're

going to go out and do something when there's not a terrorist cell potentially where you can infiltrate it with agents you can survey them you can monitor them and try and work out what they might be coming to do and stop them which is called print of intelligence so i think it's the sheer scale of these lone wolf type attacks that makes it very difficult for intelligence agencies and police to get a grip preemptively to stop these darkly tax losses from the belgian capital i mean the sean former m i five intelligence officer thank you. for more and more people have been sharing their experiences online from the london underground explosion this morning which occurred at rush hour. must be rushing out some of the explosion on reoccurring surreal moment from people. just had to run for my life at parson's green station's huge stampede last engine.

i saw people jumping not caring where they landed or whether they broke bones they were leaping over the variance. there was lots of shouting and screaming it was a bit of a crush on the stairs going down to the streets some people book pushed over and trampled on. i saw people with minor injuries burns to defeat arms legs people were helping each other. well in view of the increasing number of terror attacks on mainland europe the question of border security is of course a major political concern the ears migration chief earlier how to change of hearts all the issue of identity checks in the shed in gainesville that was after a meeting with the e.u.'s interior ministers are europe correspondent peter all over brings us more on the story. well this was one of the quickest policy utopians i've ever seen well certainly in the recent past from a senior political figure to me tourists that are more pulis the e.u.

migration commissioner was heading into a meeting with the e.u. and shane gaines own interior ministers they were going to be discussing the border controls that were allowed to exist within the shingling free travel zone if you cast your mind back to twenty sixteen austria denmark germany sweden and norway all introduced border checks out there their countries. now this was in the wake of of the above the arrival of over a million people an influx of migrants who have twenty fifteen into twenty sixteen also security concerns as well that they wanted to have these extra border checks now the right for these countries to have those should expire in november of this year unless it is prolonged now heading into this meeting with the interior ministers mr after a mop alist seem determined that there was no chance that they would be prolonged during the last two years we've been 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 normal functioning of washington. but he was singing i think every different tune when he came out of that meeting the new security challenges of appear that. during the last. serious as the most. recent that are just thoughts. and. the sinking boat to school may not be sufi simply adopted to address the evolving security challenges it does seem that the interior minister has told the migration commission exactly what they thought of plans to repeal all to not prolong the board of checks and if we look at the security threats that we face will we just customise like the last

month in barcelona a terrorist attack and of course. in london on friday take those threats ever present. north korea's latest missile test sponsored jump anees island in danger the details from that story. we decided to alienate him. from all these political. sixty g.'s decisions and you say that into the movie we were trying to become like this was a living in a way where we don't want to involve those those windows close and see say of god this is the. one else seemed wrong. but i'll. just don't call. me.

yet to seep out of this thing comes out. and in detroit equals betrayal. when somebody find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you're back with r.t. international north korea continues to ignore colds for kim after it fired a missile over the northern japanese island of do it is the latest on to aggression in the regional crisis over pyongyang's weapons program japanese citizens in several regions were warned to find shelter as the missile post over with the

details for us here in 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 and indeed this whole comes after school test of an earth to surface missile whedon's they imitating a strike on a north korean military bunker. i'd. be taurus misawa which you just saw is capable of striking any target in north korea has also recently been holding military drills with the u.s. in the face of six nuclear weapons tests by north korea over the past day. well some in south korea have also been pushing for u.s. nuclear weapons to be deployed on the peninsula but the country's president. ruled that it. reports from seoul. president moon said he does not agree that sending 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 it's a threat to respond 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 fat 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 untransparent 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. russia say is the following or is the agreement on deescalation zones in syria open the way for a genuine ceasefire in the devastated country what are your part. joins me now here on the plaza screen for more on this we're sensing hope here just what if

you heard about what's coming out of the talks in kazakstan union high again while the news that we're hearing from the capital of kazakstan as the sixth round of the so-called asked of the talks conclude really are a good reason for optimism because it has been announced that this long very strenuous process of forming the four deescalation zones that i'm about to show you right now is finally being completed or has been completed in fact by russia turkey and iran and that is even in the province where of course it was most difficult trying to reach an agreement because it remains the most volatile province when it comes to the fighting between the government troops and the opposition according to russia's special envoy to the syria talks the people who are going to be making sure that there is no escalation at the deescalation zones

will be russian military police and also similar units from turkey and iran and also mr all of rain to have is saying that the results of asking around six will be a massive relief for the syrian people. we consider the establishment of the deescalation zone will still be a major milestone it has served as the lights at the end of the tunnel for the syrian people but made to feel more secure. in the near future. if you what's the background to this in the fighting in the bottle against islamic street well you know there is of course no peace in syria without choking islamic state and the many forces on the ground that have been involved in that fight have been doing a very good job in the past weeks or maybe even months i should say of course last week a great milestone was the retaking. of the breaking of that blockade that lasted for more than three years by the syrian government troops that are backed by the

russian air force they had this massive push eastwards and then finally they were able to do it if you look at the map right now what they are involved in right now is liberating the entire province which is of course one of the most important for reason there are many many oil fields there as you can see right here just come up this is the euro zone here this is the most oil rich province there was or and if it's not make state is if the government forces manage to rid of state of access to this this will be a major victory but of course the previous milestones when when paul mir was taken there also oil for their sphere and the kurdish forces have. the essentially islamic state doesn't have access to these all those over here that are near hasa cup besides something else we heard from mr lloyd ranty of who is russia's and boy to the syria talks he praised the u.s.

led coalition of the kurds and also other moderate opposition forces syrian opposition forces in liberating iraq which used to be the de facto capital of islamic state let's take a listen. along the euphrates river. in the north of syria moderate kurdish an arab groups that are to some extent under the influence of the us a fighting i saw in our newsroom. and quite successfully that's evident if you look at the partial liberation of iraq as we will this city will be fully liberated from the terrorists in a month or two so the latest agreements between the syrian government and the opposition the deescalation zones that we've been talking about and also major advances when it comes to the fight against islamic state positive news from syria it's vitally so good to hear that sense of progression of this stage and have a trying to bring myself a date on the thank you very much i'll be here and around half an hour's time with more global world news starting with the latest from the explosion on the tube in
