nor middle of the room. bomb blast on the london underground police at least twenty two people injured including children. suddenly saw lots of people running towards me to me that something is it is a cop and police say they are treating the attack as an act of terror making it the fifth in the u.k. this year. the use migration chief has a change of heart on border control from the shang going area after calling for checks to be dropped he goes on to say that the block may still need protection and also to come this hour the world anti-doping agency's president comes out in defense of russian athletes after new calls for russia to be banned from the twenty

eight winter olympics. hello there come to you live from moscow you're watching international. start in london because the number of people injured in a bomb blast on a chub train in the southwest of the city has now risen to twenty two police are treating the attackers terror related witnesses report seeing a fireball tear through the carriage office is that the device only partially detonated and the destruction could have been far worse.

pass. on these. things. to the. baby because the mom. has been declared a terrorist related incident. with more on today's attack in the ongoing investigation here's our correspondent in london and this is the chalk and 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 of 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 the british prime minister theresa may posted over meeting where this situation was analyze the threat level remains at severe that means such 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 hundred 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. well 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 cold 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 i remember is the sound explosion sound and then i tell oh it's a public beach or city next to the toshi carries a few jumping over all the light but with the trees asian with a beautiful bump and go into the street drop it into over. you understand 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 and reporting that will counterterrorism expert dr louis harrington told us that there are particular features about this attack that are 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 or she's planning to have to flee to syria or planned another series of attacks so it's clearly different to what we see in 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 the u.s. anti terrorist chief said early this month that there are as many as twenty five thousand radical extremists in britain smaller than in any of the european country three thousand of them are considered a direct threat to the u.k. by the intelligence agency m i five and five hundred are under constant surveillance just yesterday the u.k. home office said the number of terrorists to the rest in britain rose sixty eight percent between june twenty sixth eighteen and june twenty seventh saying the figures include arrests made after previous u.k. terror attacks in london and also manchester in fact this is the fifth terror

incident in the u.k. the sheer. the terrorism expert says that more can be done to protect major cities from tara

although social changes on eight. points and government are really struggling to try and get their hands. contain it and something 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 means and top everything that goes along here is just. so i think when we start thinking about. the long term i think we need to start looking at more. solutions rather than something i mean primarily and one of our social nature and where we can hopefully start swinging some of these individuals from carrying out their tax. well in view of the increasing number of terror attacks on mainland europe the question of border

security is a major political concern there the migration chief earlier had a change of heart on the she of identity checks in the chain concerned that was after a meeting with the interior minister's our europe correspondent peter oliver as. well this was one of the quickest policy utopians ever seen well certainly in the recent past from a senior political figure to me tourists that are more police the e.u. migration commissioner was heading into a meeting with the e.u. and shane ginzo 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 their their countries. now this was in the wake of of the above the arrival of over

a million people the influx of migrants 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 of this seemed 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 bunch of washington. but he was singing a very different tune when he came out of that meeting you security challenges have appeared to. during the last. serious as the most.

recent thoughts in barcelona and. the sinking boat the school may not be sufi simply adopted to address the evolving security challenges it does seem that the interior minister has told the year migration 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 customized like the last month in barcelona a terrorist attack and of course. in london on friday those threats are ever present or many were unhappy with the migrant chief's initial call to end the strict border controls germany along with neighboring austria don't think it's too early to give up the czechs 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 and three other countries have also said that they want to prolong the checks to an austrian m.p. we spoke to says they are essential to 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 last week create a sort of bar called sucking the migrants to europe the union is unable to and unwilling unable and unwilling to protect the borders to stop the influx of migrations and that 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 the e.u. will come through. we 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. and over the last few years the europe has seen a whole range of deadly terror attacks where free movement within the e.u. has seemingly played into the hands of terrorists.

the world anti-doping agency has criticized calls to ban russia from the twenty eighteen winter olympics seventeen national dating agencies had made the demand for doping allegations but what is chief seemingly defended russia this is what he said at a session of the international olympic committee currently being held in peru. comments that have been made by the group. worked. to

develop the proper system in russia. i want to make it clear. it is not the policy of the world. not helpful. let's get more details on this now with r.t. . just talk us through then why these national doping agency wanted to get russia banned from the upcoming winter olympics ok well thanks andy there's certainly no mincing of words coming from the water president craig reedie there in a week which is seen russian athletes and doping thrust back into the media spotlight it comes after seventeen. see including those of the u.k. and the u.s.

have called on the international olympic committee to take action against russian athletes and a strongly worded statement to the agency's accuse the international olympic committee of not doing enough to investigate allegations of doping in russian athletes and adding that they were to take action against russia could even threaten the future of the olympic movement itself what they want to see is a blanket ban on russia from taking part in the upcoming winter games to be held in just a few months from now and a south korean city chung but that didn't come out of nowhere it came hot off the back of revelations that wilder had confirmed that ninety five out of ninety six of the russian athletes who were mentioned in that now infamous mclaren report had been cleared due to a lack of sufficient evidence but rather than being relieved by that news these and national antidotes. agencies well they want russia banned anyway so it comes as no surprise that russia and doping has come up quite

a few times during this ongoing international olympic committee session being held in lima right now and quite a few prominent figures have had best say on the matter here's the president of the enter national ice hockey federation. actually we are totally against collective financial and you just mentioned greek. and we will never accept some kind of collective punishment if we're here to clean how to. clean athletes and much just suspending for some reason they are not so clear. now what we've gotten used to where russia being in the headlines what is new is seeing prominent figures in the sporting world actually standing up for the fact that it would be incredibly unfair to place the blanket ban on athletes who have been cleared of any wrongdoing however it's a little plain sailing for these russian athletes just yet they're going to have to wait on a final decision which is due from the international olympic committee in november

. ok so watch this space thanks nikki that was our. in other news tonight russia says the finalized agreements on deescalation zones in syria open the way for a genuine ceasefire in the devastated country earlier or spoke to her about the latest peace efforts. the news that we are getting from the capital of kazakstan as round six of the so-called talks concludes you know there really a good reason for optimism because it has been announced that the very long and straining this process of forming before the escalation zones in syria has been completed by russia iran and turkey even and the north and the problem it's difficult yet it was most difficult to get to an agreement there and it remains most volatile when it comes to the clashes between the government troops and the

opposition now according to russia's special envoy to syria talks and asked and the people that will be making sure that there is no escalation and the deescalation zones will be russian military police and also similar units from the other guarantors turkey and iran besides this mr lott says that the results of round six of astronaut will be really a massive relief for the people of syria but smaller through we consider the establishment of the deescalation zone will still be a major milestone and soon it has served as the lawyers idea that it's on the hoof of the syrian people and made to feel more secure. 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 dare was or see three years. and that was after a massive push by the syrian government troops east towards backed by the russian air force not what these people are doing right now is they're trying to kick mixtape completely out of the. arizona 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 roads province in syria if us still loses control over this you can see it here you know all of them out it means they will be in real trouble with cash for the already lost the all fields outside palmira also here in the north east of the kurds recaptured the all fields outside al and speaking of the efforts by the u.s.

backed kurdish units and also other elements of syria's moderate opposition mr love ranty of the envoy that we listen to he praised their efforts in the operation to retake rock up along the euphrates river and in the north of syria moderate kurdish an arab groups that out to some extent under the influence of the us a fighting i saw a noun is written and quite successfully. 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 you can finally have a steady flow of positive news from syria both when it comes to the peace process and also the fight on terror. well in the city of dealers all children are trying to get back to normal life after the lifting of the siege there not all the schools are open but some of the kids have already started classes. however not all syrian children are lucky enough to be receiving education this year human rights watch

reports that millions of dollars pledged to get syrian refugee children back to school just haven't reached them and he says the international community is partly to blame is samir a camp reports a lost generation that's precisely what global power sought to prevent when they pledged to involve all syrian refugee children in school by mid two thousand and seventeen. but a lost generation is exactly what we're seeing donors and host countries have promised that syrian children will not become a lost generation but this is exactly what is happening more transparency in funding would help reveal the needs that aren't being met so they could be addressed and get children into school despite international systems to prevent this over five hundred thousand syrian children in turkey lebanon and jordan are still not receiving an education going to human rights watch millions of dollars never reach arrives late or couldn't be traced due to inadequate reporting major

donor countries the e.u. u.s. and the u.k. all missed specific funded targets they had already committed to the united states is announcing our leaders contribution new funding specifically to support schooling for three hundred thousand refugee youth in jordan and lebanon on steps first of all i would like to thank countries like jordan lebanon and turkey who are willing to accommodate this people they need our support for twenty sixteen the federal government will lead to pledge one point one billion euros for the humanitarian aid programs under united nations that was winter two thousand and sixteen when the school year began host countries in jordan and lebanon were both massively on. funded winter two thousand and seventeen same problem of course it's not entirely the donor spalt certain policies of host countries have also created obstacles in some turkish provinces the syrian refugees face delays in getting the identification required to enroll in public schools and lebanon hasn't even issued

a work permits to syrian refugees and as a result families are often unable to afford school related costs pushing kids to work instead of going to school we're not investing in the mechanisms by which that you can get money to places as quickly as possible and instead of governments being set up to do this in the right manner we are typically looking at outside n.g.o.s to do it some we can do it with good success depending and some not until we take monies from the military which is typically where most countries or investing is floors and security needs rather than into development needs it's going to this challenge is going to go over and over again so while they may have good intentions the international community may still be held responsible for helping create a lost generation. party washington d.c. syria is now on the verge of an educational crisis with one point seven five

million children unable to attend school and i point four million syrian children inside and outside the country are in need of humanitarian aid and best to get of reporter says that a lack of education could lead to more terrorism. as far as underdeveloped countries corrupt dictatorships there's an active effort to steal a money and that deprives people at you know the worst possible place in their lives of the support and the assistance that they need it look at terrorism in the region people who get involved with terrorism are usually the same kind of people who would be involved with violent crime on our streets in western countries they're disadvantage use they're people that need a reason to exist they need a purpose they haven't been able to find that purpose in traditional means like employment or study because those things aren't available to them so they turn to violence they turn to terrorism so that's

a very real risk if we don't make sure that these refugees are educated. north korea continues to ignore cools for come off to find a misawa over the northern japanese island of hokkaido it is the latest act of aggression in the regional crisis over pyongyang's weapons program japanese citizens in several regions would want to find shelter is the missing. has the details 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 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. general assembly in full swing here in the month of september with the big we 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 all comes off the seoul test in there to surface missile on wednesday imitating a strike on a north korean military bunker. what. the tourist missed seeing here is capable of striking any targets in north korea so it has also recently been holding military drills with the u.s. in the face of six nuclear weapons test by north korea over the last decade and now

some in south korea have also been pushing for u.s. nuclear weapons to be deployed on the peninsula but the country's president being jane has ruled that out from seoul his. president moon said he does not agree that offending tactical nuclear weapons would improve security here on the peninsula i do not agree to south korean news from develop our own nuclear weapons or relocate article nuclear weapons in the face of north korea's recent 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 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 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 is not democratic oh 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 poly 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.
