see. a bomb blast still no london underground train leaves at least twenty two people injured including children. and i just suddenly saw lots of people running towards me to panic mode i knew that something state is the current police say they are treating the. terror making it the fifth in the u.k. this. also had this are to use are the e.u.'s migration chief change of heart on border controls in the shed in the area after calling for chicks to be dropped to save the block may still need protections. on pyongyang fires
12:01 pm
a ballistic missile over japan for the second time in just over two weeks. thrilled simulating a strike on a north korean. to the world this is r t international mining you know neal. we started in london the number of people injured in a. tree in the south west of the city has now risen to twenty two police are treating the attack as terror related witnesses report seeing a fireball terror through the courage officers say though that the device only partially detonated and that the destruction could have been far worse.
12:02 pm
and. that's. all this crazy stuff this place takes. it's. just what is lost in memory of the baby in the pot with the mom. if. the matter has been declared a counter terrorist related incident. with more on today's attack on the ongoing investigation here's our correspondent in london on this the see it. we're still outside parsons green tube station which is
12:03 pm
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 explode it fully we do know that a manhunt is currently underway officials have not made a mistake statements or concerns of possible suspects or arrests having been made quite yet we do know that for the british prime minister theresa may 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 armed 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
12:04 pm
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 eyewitnesses have described it as a stampede when people were trying to get out of the tube station it has to be said that throughout london 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 party members sound explosion sound and i tell her i say probably to sit next to do tosha not carry a few jumping overboard although like the other choices and we all jump and go into the speech jumping into over. you understand. well while this investigation
12:05 pm
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 the people involved in attacks that had taken place in the u.k. or 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 counterterrorism expert dr lewis harrington told us there are particular differences about this latest attack that are
12:06 pm
concerning. the presence of a timing device. is very different to all the other attacks we've seen jihadists die in the process it's part of the process. if this was an individual if this was an islamic. jihadist then either he's planning. to flee to syria or had planned another series of attacks so it's clearly different to what we see manchester what we've seen on the westminster attack we've seen in the london bridge attack this was not somebody that was prepared to die in the process well some more information the. terrorists chief said to me this is that earlier this month there are as many as twenty five radical extremists in britain that is more than any other european country three thousand of them are considered a direct threat to the u.k. by intelligence agency and life five five hundred of them are under constant surveillance earlier i discussed the incident with nikki or. details about this
12:07 pm
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 in the mind ourselves of some of the previous attacks because here.
12:08 pm
fortunately no face hotties 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 the
12:09 pm
security services in the u.k. are facing. precedented threats and i'm pretty sure that the u.k. prime minister it's a reason why it's going to be facing questions what the security on london underground has been overlooked in the security of. a country terrorism expert doug weeks sees more. to protect major cities from terror but social changes are needed . and points and government are really struggling to try and get their hands on this to contain it and something that is potentially not. not containable at least without some very serious security measures put in place you can't bring a semi like london to its needs and stop everything that goes along here in just. a land so i think when we start thinking about taxing the long term i think
12:10 pm
we need to start looking at potentially more. solutions rather than something. that mean primarily one of the social nature and where we can hopefully start swinging some of these individuals from carrying out the attacks and do well they did up another busy time in the capital during rush hour meaning more and more people have been sharing their experiences online from the london underground explosion this morning. a mass of people came rushing out to us the explosion on real surreal moment from people. just had to run for my life at parson's green station's huge stampede last injury. 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 got pushed over and
12:11 pm
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 a major political concern of course the e.u.'s migration chief earlier how to change of heart on the issue of identity checks in the shin zone that was after a meeting with the e used interior ministers are europe correspondent peter all over more. 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 after more police the e.u. migration commissioner was heading into a meeting with the e.u. and shamed in zone interior ministers they were going to be discussing the border controls that were allowed to exist within the shingling free travel zone if you
12:12 pm
cast your mind back to twenty sixteen austria denmark germany sweden and norway all introduced border checks out there their countries boundary now this was in the wake of of the above the arrival of over a million people a 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 more police seem determined that there was no chance that they would be prolonged during the last two years we should be working in crisis mode. now this is the moment to step out of the crises or i believe is the moment to to go back to the not among function of washington. but he was singing every different
12:13 pm
tune when he came out of that meeting the new security challenges have appeared at the during the last. the past serious as the most. recent attacks in barcelona and. the sinking boat the school may not be sufficiently adapted to address the evolving security challenges. it does seem that the interior minister has told the commission exactly what they thought of plans to repeal it or to not prolong that the border 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 of course. in london on friday those threats are ever present or indeed over the past number of years europe has seen a whole range of deadly terror attacks where free movement with in the e.u.
12:14 pm
has seemingly played into the hands of terrorists.
12:15 pm
north korea's latest missile test puts the japanese island in jeopardy we've got the details from a whole lot more this hour coming to us. we decided to alienate them. from all these political.
12:16 pm
and strategic. we say that is that we we were trying to become like this was the way we would go into into the world go to those the windows close. and see save god but the thing with the. sixteen minutes past seven pm here this friday night in moscow welcome back north korea continues to ignore cold for kim it fired a missile out of the northern japanese island of hokkaido it is the latest on of aggression in the regional crisis or pyongyang's weapons program japanese citizens in several regions were warned to find shelter. over it with the details know that the missile has touched down in the pacific ocean at this point they're calling it
12:17 pm
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. well this all comes after
12:18 pm
a soul tested on earth to surface missile on whedon's stay imitating a strike on a north korean military bunker. the taurus missile 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 decade and indeed some inside korea have also been pushing for u.s. nuclear weapons to be deployed on the peninsula but the country's president. is now ruled out the possibility of reporting from seoul. 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 of technical nuclear weapons in the face of
12:19 pm
north korea since a threat. to north korea by having our own nuclear weapons will not maintain peaceful agreement noosa law however as moon has already demonstrated the option of introducing a different type of ed advanced military equipment to the peninsula is not entirely out of the question considering we witnessed the deployment of that here very recently that 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 democratic i know 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
12:20 pm
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. another story that we're closely following this hour russia see the fine or the agreements on deescalation zones in syria opens the way for a genuine cease fire in the devastated country let's get into. this with our. over here on this news wall it seems that the talk of hope here is increasing what about the talks in kazakhstan what are we learning about what occurred you know now again will the news that we are getting from the capital of catholic stand as round six
12:21 pm
of the so-called asked and talks concludes really they are a good reason for optimism it has been announced that this very long strain of this process on the forming of the four deescalation zones in syria has been completed let's take a look at the process that i'm talking about how it's been finalized by russia turkey and iran and even in the in the province in the north where of course it was most difficult to reach that agreement this part of syria still remains most volatile when it comes to the clashes drop the syrian government and the opposition and according to russia's special envoy to syria talks and asked about the people who will be in charge of really making sure that there is no escalation in the deescalation zones will be russian military police and also similar units from turkey and iran which are also the garden tours here besides this mr levant have
12:22 pm
said that the results of aston are around six are really a massive relief for the people of syria. we consider the establishment of a deescalation zone will still be a major milestone it has served as the city of you that is on the roof of the syrian people and you are made to feel more secure. for progress in the near future . as you well we have you here as well just to update us on the actual fight what's going on against islamic state well when it comes to peace in syria there is no peace without choking islamic state and the forces the many forces that are currently involved in fighting the terrorists on the ground and the past few weeks they have actually done a really good job of very important milestone we can see the celebration here was the breaking of the day or is or see three years. and that was after a massive push by the syrian government troops east towards backed by the russian
12:23 pm
air force not what these people are doing right now is they're trying to kick state completely out of the province i just want to show you a map here what they are also doing is they are trying to recapture the oil fields and the province of dare was or is the most all rich province in syria if i so loses control over this you can see it here you know all of the map that means they will be in real trouble with cash the already lost the all fields outside palmira the kurds here in the north east they recaptured the fields near the house. and speaking of the efforts and efforts by the u.s. backed kurdish units and also other elements of syria's moderate opposition the envoy that we listen to he praised their efforts and the operation to retake. it's along the euphrates river and in the north of syria moderate kurdish an arab
12:24 pm
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 raca as we all hope that this city will be fully liberated from the terrorists in a month or two so you know and finally have a steady flow of positive news from syria both when it comes to the peace process and also the fight on terror we can only hope it wholesale eba trying to bring us right up there from those talks in kazakhstan playing. and that is the news for now far more will be here at the top of their with all the latest developments from a busy day of global news stay with our international.
12:25 pm
here's what people have been saying about rejecting the night with you i suspect it is full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know a lot of the really packs a punch oh yeah it's the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than that and see people you never heard of love right back to the night my president of the world bank so you're going to write me seriously send us an e-mail.
12:26 pm
in denmark this situation is all the more disturbing in that few associations exist to accompany overindebted people some full of tears provide free counseling but mainly for those who live below the social minimum the others have to fend for themselves or call upon private specialized companies that consultants since the two thousand a crisis such consultants have proliferated to denmark and take advantage of the situation to sell their services to people in financial difficulty.
