2:03 am
have to pull up and go into 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 flying that anybody. can do anything they like that we're not taking the subway like let's take let's walk this 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 marty london. a year ago. said that living with the threat of terrorism is something that just have to accept . you won't succeed but you want to fight us we will be collared by terrorists.
2:04 am
you will see over the next few days i mean creased number off. across. the attempts to make countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together . and. 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
2:05 am
that is we'll see an increased number of visible police. well sort of the way there was it was another week a standoff over north korea on monday the u.n. security council passed a resolution on new sanctions after pyongyang's nuclear test earlier this month although the harsh original draft prepared by the u.s. was renegotiated to seal the deal of the vote at the end of it washington that 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 asset freeze against north korean leader but again that didn't make it into the final draft either the u.s. president was impressed by the compromise at the u.n. . we think it's just another very small step. not
2:06 am
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
2:07 am
diplomacy being victorious well those hopes are starting to dampen the there is 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 and 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 in 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 getting we don't know what the next step is going to be could 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
2:08 am
be something like the double three s 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 calls for new sanctions north korea then carried out a missile test on friday according to the south korean military that projectile reached an altitude to seven hundred seventy kilometers and travel for three thousand seven hundred kilometers before eventually falling into the ocean and just like the test carried out a few weeks ago the missile flew right over japan triggering an alert sirens went off and warnings on a cargo island however not everyone in japan felt threatened by the launch. party to bring i don't feel like japan is their target is 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 is trough strength good because we won't have to go to school only from
2:09 am
their home we were raised jenkin around never taking it seriously. career did react to friday's missile test with a military drill near the border with the north and although the south korean president threatened pyongyang with destruction beyond recovery over the provocations he ruled out stationing nuclear weapons former u.s. congressman ron paul spoke recently and he says 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 like why couldn't it leaders because there are some leaders and a lot of soft 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
2:10 am
stir up trouble by having our military confrontation about building up and having these war games what are these war games where 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 tried just 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 lie. to the french president's labor reform plans in the week which should you this month that came out loud and clear on tuesday with nationwide strikes and hundreds of rallies protests in paris to involvement with projectiles and flares being thrown. was. i. was.

2:18 am
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 a lot of says that the results of round six of astronaut will be really a massive relief for the people of syria but we consider the establishment of the deescalation zone will still be a major milestone it is served as the loyalty of the town who for the syrian people and 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
2:19 am
islamic state well when it comes to peace in syria there is no peace without choking islamic state. 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 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 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
2:20 am
palmira also here in the north east 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 rain to have 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 u.s. 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. islamic militants have been recruiting foreign
2:21 am
fighters in syria and iraq for the past few years many of those who went there to fight brought their families along with them too but with the terror group suffering a string of major defeat wives and children of a large number of killed fighters have ended up in refugee camps with uncertain futures this channel was first to talk to some of the widows of stream missing one iraqi town where hundreds of families are stranded the location and identities won't be disclosed for their safety. oh my yes my policy it's a chain. because it's because it is such a dumb was it is. people like the killing. leave. your computer. completely any of the gun these things you have to make you think of them. well the legal fate of the wives of
2:22 am
fighters is far from clear meantime in europe last year around six hundred people were put on trial for terrorism with more than three hundred fifty prosecuted for ties to jihadi ism should the was a voicemail fighters be treated in the same way as other is the most extremist is the question we discussed with political commentators under walker and no answer. well i think the most important thing we have to do is avoid these people coming back to our countries these people have joined a terrorist organization they wish to join a state that isn't the united kingdom isn't america isn't russia what we're talking about wives and children of isis fighters who have gone out to syria to iraq to kurdistan and have been found themselves inadvertently getting in broiled as part of as much a victim as anyone else has been in part of these atrocities let's be clear what the argument that no one saw is making is that you are an adult have chosen to join
2:23 am
a terrorist organization and just because you're married you should have no responsibility for that whatsoever i want mr savage journey to terrorist organizations and i want to not have you make your own please let me say they signed on for him beside me so let's be clear on my position and let's be clear what i look at your local you don't make your name for yourself as a showing for the majority of iraq just take the air piece out i keep talking the position of the majority of british people in my view is that they do not want terrorists back in the united kingdom they do not want the wives of terrorists back in the united kingdom but there may want the children who are entirely innocent to return to the united kingdom and with that in mind i'll put my earpiece back in these women many of them will be innocent people the children the innocent people they didn't sign up to a terrorist organization it's not like joining a club where you sign up to get a membership form they followed their husbands into a war zone people who have not committed any wrongdoing who are no risk to the
2:24 am
state the answer is to integrate them we have the national security apparatus in place to be able to tackle these issues right now. if you are serious and lewis has seen two days of protests over the acquittal of a former police officer who killed a black man on saturday just flooded shopping malls the globe roads in the march through the city and the ocean after it began peacefully and. but then police later clashed with a small group of protesters who threw bottles and broke windows and several arrests it's not known if there were any injuries the violence earlier to jury not friday's protests against police brutality of as used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the crowds and for bricks and bottles the eleven officers were injured the three arrested the time human rights activist randy short told us international news outlets though 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
2:25 am
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're persecuted they've been in jail since two thousand and fourteen no one covers it 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 that was some of the news for the week that was i'm kevin i would leave you now with the pictures from the north korean peninsula the korean peninsula a lot of trouble there in that we me for now goodbye. thank.
2:26 am
you. years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with the. bad guy trying to get to one of my family
2:27 am
members he would have a better life better and i think they are inheriting when i buy my babies says my book was published in the year two thousand more than hold for a million americans have been killed by the us and we had a thought to me yes we did yes this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves some real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got hit by the. i just saw it it's a return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago. but we are not.
2:28 am
welcome to our terrorism has been on a clinically declared as the scores of our times a phenomenon worth the wavering condemnation and the live action but when it comes to the practicalities of fighting terrorism do all members of the international community really practice what they preach to discuss that i'm now joined by. their ordinator of the united nations. monitoring team mr shinde say it's such a great pleasure talking to you thank you very much for your time thank you for work shrug and now you're a security expert who is dedicated to fighting something that is not really defined in international law because there is no universally agreed upon definition of terrorism doesn't. leave you in a position when you have to fide a label a terrorist brand rather than thin the woman and the such well see the interesting aspects about the security council work on that i'm advised thing on the sanctions
2:29 am
is that it has taken that position not to define terrorism but to tell the world who terrorism's ah so we have sanctions list where we have seventy five plus x. it changes pretty much in the databases groups around the world that sanction us being connected with ice and so there you have your political field of the internationally agreed groups that are terrorists but the missions they you know better than i do that. they'll qaeda ideology sometimes espoused by groups that do not call themselves fact in syria we had a number of efforts by an al qaeda affiliate to rebrand itself without any doctrinal changes and specifically to sort of distance itself from the al qaeda title so again how are you going to define who is all qaeda and who is not no it's more than the ideology and in fact most of the groups on the sanctions list i'm not called.
