good girl. should you. go. in the big stories that shaped the week britain's terror attack this year saw thirty injured in a train explosion on friday the teenage man's been arrested. tension escalates again on the korean peninsula as yang responds to these threats of further washington back sanctions with another missile test. the latest round of syria peace talks results in a breakthrough agreement on the deescalation zones which could finally provide some peace in the war ravaged country.

good morning from. a welcome to the weekly around the big stories of the last seven days it was a big news week we start with this friday saw london hit by another terror attack in which an explosion on a chub train injured thirty an eighteen year old man has been arrested now on suspicion of planting a bucket bomb the incidents being treated as the u.k.'s fifth terror attack this year an improvised explosive device went off inside that should trade at eight twenty in the morning local time to rush hour explosion caused panic in a stampede with a young child among the injured islamic state claims it was behind the attack and this is reports next from west london. yet another terrorism related incident in the u.k. a twenty seventeen pandemic of terror with this now the fifth and every attack demands more security measures and public vigilance get out if you are you.

following the van attack on westminster bridge they put up concrete barriers to prevent a similar salt earlier this month london's metropolitan police came up with another measure to stop the vehicles targeting large crowds steel spikes road mats to be rolled out and big events but just days after the announcement london was hit by a different kind of attack the weapon this time was concealed in a simple plastic bag and bucket and left on the tube during rush hour cordoned off behind me is the area where the fifth terror related incident to shake the u.k. in recent months took place early friday morning in a train topped with commuters were a homemade device partially detonated commuters described the scene as a stampede with people running for their lives just what is lost in memory of the baby in a car with the mom to men was shouting grab and run so we all piled off the train and just ran for our lives we were literally running for our lives and i still for a second i'm about to jump over what old boy like but the other choice asian with

a beautiful golden dawn to steve jumping into over another terror attack has slipped by the authorities but the location this time has left many shocked and questioning where they go from here is. that anybody. can do anything they like that we're not taking this that way like let's take let's walk it's kind of scary as authorities investigate this latest incident to see what should and could have been done the attackers seem to be one step ahead creating a new unnerving and unpredictable norm and a party london. a year ago. said that living with the threat of terrorism is something longer those just have to accept these days. you won't succeed if you want to fight us we'll be caught by terrorists.

you'll see over the next few days i mean creased number of. across. the attempts to make countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together . they continue to be visible patrols around manchester which include the deployment of armed officers. that is will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days no reason to be a long. road but. the. long

that is we'll see an increased number of visible police. but another week a standoff over north korea two on monday the u.n. security council passed a resolution on new sanctions after pyongyang's nuclear test earlier this month although the original draft prepared by the u.s. was renegotiated to seal the deal of the vote washington had wanted a full oil and natural gas embargo against north korea but the final resolution imposed only a cap on the country's exports the original draft also demanded a travel ban and an asset freeze against the north korean leader but again that didn't make it into the final draft either u.s. president wasn't impressed by the compromise at the u.n. . 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 diplomacy 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 now they're 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 in 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 is 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 young beginning we don't know what the next step is going to 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 three proposal that china has put forward the russians agree with but is absolutely oh i accept little to washington it seems in response to washington's calls for new sanctions the north korea then carried out a missile test on friday according to the south korean military that projectile reached an altitude a seven hundred seventy kilometers traveled for four thousand kilometers before then falling into the ocean and just like the test carried out a few weeks ago before but the missile flew over japan triggering an alert on cairo island for one but not everyone in japan felt threatened by the launch. but to bring i don't feel like japan is their target as their target is the u.s. that's why the missiles are just pressing all the japan i don't think north korea will drop me self directly on us and say. it's a missile destroyer of strength good because we won't have to go to school only

from their home we were raised joking around taking it seriously. south korea reacted to friday's missile test with a military drill that near the border with the north and although the south korean president threatened pyongyang with destruction beyond recovery of the provocations he ruled out station nuclear weapons other developments former u.s. congressman ron paul in a week told us washington should let the korean leaders resolve the crisis themselves. i think the proper thing would be for us to get out of the way and encourage south korea and north korea would talk with each other that might be really something important you know i've been thinking about that why why couldn't it leaders because there are some leaders and a lot of south koreans that would like better relationships with north why couldn't we encourage and get behind saying look south korea we encourage you to talk to north korea and see if you're going to sit down maybe united states and china could both be observers or something and to get it moved on but not for us to constantly

stir up trouble by having our military confrontation about building up and having these war games what are these war games where are they practicing you know is so unnecessary and confrontational and it doesn't mean that if we didn't have war games that we would give up something on our defense our side has to worry about the bush doctrine which tries to you know make it our official policy that you need to have preventive war well preemptive preventive war is aggression and that i don't like. you know the stories he approaches tension this week spain's rest of region of council odious wolf thousands turned out on monday as the countdown continues to about big independence referendum should go for the beginning of october motions have been running really high throughout the we can lead is they say that if votes is choose yes then independence could be declared within forty eight hours.

the. way you. were. the national so no strongly opposes the push for independence despite the growth in. support hundreds of catalan officials gathered on saturday in a show defiance against madrid days earlier more than seven hundred mayors discovered they face prosecution by the government for supporting the independence vote when catalonia held its first symbolic referendum in twenty fourteen we covered it then again the authorities in madrid were not happy they slammed it in fact at the time as unconstitutional and even threatened to kick the legendary barcelona football club out of the national league but it didn't put off catalan leaders or dent their popularity then after a pro independence party secured

a majority in catalonia as parliament insisted the region would succeed anyway. fast forward now to march then madrid up the pressure and even barred catalan officials from holding public office for organizing any of this forthcoming referendum on the first of october so why does spain fear the vote and there are a number of reasons i can tell you let's go through them one of catalonia goes its own way spain would lose almost seven percent of its territory it's a big amount because it's a very special part of spain as you'll see it's the richest part of the terror of spain because it's got a top g.d.p. it's also very wealthy it will also lose over seven million of its population in other words a fifth of its tax earnings twenty percent of its exports would also go as well and there's that big question of spain's tourist so many of them go to barcelona in that area in addition catalonia has a third of all spain's lynn pick medalists by the way now to make things worse for spain's leaders it seems as many as fifty percent of catalans are in favor of

independence according to the latest polls one mayor we spoke to says madrid treatment of catalonia shows spanish democracy is not in good shape. if you. think it's very sad it's more than just indignation to see the democratic generation of the spanish state and this feels bad this is what we regret most of all but that's all we are calm we have a lot of work to do in the municipality continue working for the people that's what is important for us the majority of the members of the parliament of the catalonian parliament are in favor of the wind up and learns eighty percent of the cattle and six in shape is in favor of the referendum of several terminations to ask catalans if they want or not independence the referendum by without despondence a state because that's what we don't do it unilaterally because we want to hide

anything. they keep offering the spanish a state to negotiate to the roof to participate in this democratic exercise but it's up to them. after the break ongoing protests in the american see if you sent lewis.

seems wrong. to shape our. trail. find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. time now the latest round of syria peace talks in kazakhstan in the weeks or breakthrough agreement on the deescalation. which could finally provide some peace in the war ravaged country correspondent explain the development with mccullagh.

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 the for 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 law 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 is served as the lawyers at the end of the time who for the syrian people and you are 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 resort c 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 islam

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 rich province in syria if us so 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 the already lost the oil fields outside palmira also here in the north east the kurds recaptured the all fields outside al and speaking of the anti eisel 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 got 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. yeah nazi documentary team has been to the very heart of the battle for iraq which is just mentioned there but the guys we traveled to the scene of the fierce clashes there to hear from the people fighting to repel the terror group from that country. the city. surrounded by the u.s. backed syrian democratic forces which consist mainly of kurdish militias clashes going is the terrorists is still in control of several blocks of the city it was a tough program to make as the documentary director explained to us earlier. when

we went to make this film we had no idea what we're going to come across we had literally no idea. what. we were attacked 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 or explodes and there is actually one that attacked us while we were not even on operation 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 isis just executed a few minutes or maybe an hour ago. his three kids all of a sudden maybe two minutes later we heard screaming and he just started running to the ice a space just started running there without a rifle just as if with a sword i think. a strike from the americans because they probably saw them on a light so they were isis. you know was one of the medics 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. more firsthand accounts from one of the key battlegrounds in syria to watch awful documentaries coming up here not

international throughout tomorrow monday. the u.s. city of st louis has seen two days of protests of the quick live a former police officer who killed a black man on saturday demonstrators flooded shopping malls there they blocked roads and marched in the city through the city under the banner of black lives matter it began peacefully enough but then police later clashed with a small group of protesters who threw bottles and broke windows several arrests it's not known if there are any injuries so friday's protest against police brutality also turned violent officers used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the crowds who threw bricks and bottles at them thirty three were arrested a levon offices injured.

demonstrators were also seeing strong rocks and vandalizing them as home around a thousand protesters also blocked an intersection of the city's downtown area and gathered in front of the police department human rights activist randy short says international news outlets aren't giving the full picture. the news media including the international press has shown a great disrespect for african-americans by talking to everyone but us about our situation they see blacks and they talk to whites if you want to know what we think why not ask us why not show us some respect the african-americans who have been the true protesters a lot of them are in jail they are persecuted they've been in jail since two thousand and fourteen no one covers it just doesn't matter it's almost as if the international press along with the american press could still lie on the

african-american people why and who are they arrested when these folks get arrested it's never reported where they're from what are their names what do they look like because it's more convenient to make it seem as if it's just a whole bunch of black people that got arrested. he's ruffling feathers with its nato allies off to saudi an estimated billion dollar deal to buy russia's advanced s four hundred missile system according to the manufacturer is the s four hundred can shoot up to eighty targets at a time with a range of four hundred kilometers took his presidency his concerns over the purchase saying that from now on so he would take control of its own security. they went crazy because we made the four hundred agreement but we supposed to do for them we've taken precautions and will continue to take precautions when it comes to our security and welfare and for ourselves we'll take matters into our own hands there is no other way despite u.s.

concerns of a turkey's military deal with russia washington's confirmed its commitment to military cooperation with ankara the pentagon added it's ready to accelerate delivery of its own anti missile systems to turkey a political atmosphere spoke to believes the deal shows turkey now seems to prefer an alliance with moscow and washington only has itself to blame. turkish relations with the united states have generally been quite bad and getting worse ever since the attempted and ultimately failed coup against president in the summer of two thousand and sixteen turkey certainly wants to both through its defenses it doesn't feel the united states is a reliable partner either economically or politically and there's a lot of objective truth to that russia is much more geared to being an economic partner to turkey than the united states and unlike the united states would both under obama didn't really show turkey much respect russia does which is saying quite a lot is russia and turkey were in

a very bad position in terms of relations as recently as may two thousand and fifteen so things have come a long way in a very short time in terms of turkey wrote turkish relations with russia and in that same amount of time they've deteriorated remarkably rapidly in respect of relations with washington twenty six am here in moscow that's the way the news pound this week when i was leaving you for now with the images of one of those big stories the terror attack on the london tube during the friday morning rush hour thirty were injured there's an explosive device went off in a carriage an eighteen year old's been arrested in connection with what's been described as the fifth terror attack in the u.k. this year thanks for watching the weekly and thanks for choosing. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did i took

a lying down just i came because and then the text i came out and inspiring. many lives have been broken really except. the banks got you into trouble and big bankers come. back and i did. think of three. hundred creditors people see no future that face would have become ill to job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is a lifelong trap or is there a way out i was actually going to bed. to ditch bill from so much discussion so much. of. the international community

continues lee emphasize about or united iraq as a slogan maybe an approach of the politicians but in reality on the ground iraqis. united and. kurds are not the ones to be blamed school what is happening in the rest of iraq and the direct wrong directions that iraq has gone through. this is a story of one of africa's giants. know his teeth that shot. on his neck isn't that a long. list giant is rather modest and keeps a low profile that's not him either. people are often scared of this particular

giant but he is nowhere near as dangerous as that one. is a friendly giant every day with the possible exception of weekends he saves human lives. his name is isaac a giant rat. and i like his brothers and sisters he was born with a passion for travel. isaac's birthplace was a special training center in tanzania.
