van attack on westminster bridge they put up a 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 still spikes road mats to be rolled out a 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 or 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 the crowd with the mob to men were shouting run run so we all piled off the train and just ran for our lives we were literally running for our lives and i saw for a second i'm about to jump over what old boy like but the other choice asian with a beautiful bump and go into the steve drop it into over another terror attack has
6:03 am
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. 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 the mayor of london said that living with the threat of terrorism is something longer those just have to know. you won't succeed but you want to fight us we will become terrorists.
6:04 am
you will see over the next few days crease. across. the attempts to make countless acts of kindness that brought people closer to god. 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
6:05 am
that is we'll see an increased number of visible police. but another week 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 of original draft prepared by the u.s. was then renegotiated to seal the deal 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 an asset freeze against the north korean leader but again it didn't make it into the final draft the 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
6:06 am
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
6:07 am
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 getting up we don't know what the next step is going to be that route. it is going to be when do we actually get to a diplomatic track that allows both sides to step down and to my mind it's got to be something like the double three proposal that china has put forward the russians
6:08 am
agree with but is absolutely oh i accept little to washington it seems in response to washington's calls for new sanctions north korea carried out a missile test and on friday according to the south korean military that projectile reached an altitude of seven hundred seventy kilometers and travel from one four thousand kilometers before falling into the ocean and just like the test carried out a few weeks before that the missile flew right over japan triggering this time an alert on her show island as the sirens went off not everyone in japan though says they felt threatened by the launch. but to be frank i don't feel like japan is their target is their target is the u.s. that's why the missiles are just bursting or would you prefer i don't think north korea will drop a meter of directly on us and say. it's a missile is trough strength good because we won't have to go to school oh leave and go home we were raised joking around never taking it seriously. south korea
6:09 am
reacted to friday's missile test though with a military drill near the border with the north and although the south korean president threatened pyongyang with destruction beyond recovery in the week over the provocations he ruled out stationing nuclear weapons the former u.s. congressman ron paul told us washington should let the korean leaders resolve the crisis themselves. 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 tried just to you know make it our official policy that you need to have preventive war well preemptive preventive war

6:11 am
from paris. one of the big newspapers here in france and i know my son's christening all of these all the biggest street protests to take place in heaven since he was elected president this year and people here are very unhappy about the labor law that he wants to implement he wants to shake up the job market and make it easier to hire and by the now he thinks that. this is ultimately unemployment rate here in front. of the rates in the u.k. and germany old was we can see you say that they believe that this was the likes of the employers in france i know the employees will. say this lowers anti social because it's. good but it was a way of this law doesn't provide workers with rights to work doesn't give

privileges in both the public and the private sectors we defend the interests of workers what conditions retirement should lead to a full draft or thanks eighteen million workers the majority of french workers will significantly limit their rights to make it easier to find people when it's not justified by new mach one made a bit of a was lost. he when he left votes all the people that it. was ok for e-mail. but that is a way that it galvanized a lot of the protesters here in boston import oil that may have gotten people to hit the street. leaving bill at the showdown between the president business president we've come to power to shake on the job market and the trade union. of the last of which you see. the plan for this. was.
6:13 am
over the next week. there are also reports of four hundred twenty roy control officers failed to turn up to police the protests after officers themselves were banned from marching although one police union official told us in fact the number was probably twice as high run a thousand they've got their own issues right now with the government protesting on something with their families against poor working conditions they say chronic underinvestment will lead to greater risks being taken by officers at a time when the country is still continue to be a long time now on a high terror alert. is just a few months into micron's presidency but his approval ratings are on the slide and that's unlikely to be helped by his recent description of the protesters.
6:14 am
i will be absolutely. anyway because the cynics extremists. will get the kids today to protest against macron and his policies which the very existence of. this movement is necessary it is the response of the french people who are protecting their rights.

6:18 am
a lot of them. maybe maybe. not even a shot of. trying to steady well or be right i'll sit in. my beckett humour's just. the sort of. meantime the latest round of syria peace talks in kazakhstan seen a breakthrough agreement on the deescalation zones which could finally provide some peace to the war ravaged country the guarantors the peace settlement that's russia around signed a document marking the boundaries of this final deescalation zone in libya province up in the northwest of the country it's on top of the already implemented zones elsewhere and while there's still much to be done to unite all the countries forces in the struggle against terrorism russia's special envoy for syria is cautiously
6:19 am
optimistic. we consider the establishment of deescalation zone will still be a major milestone it is served as the light at the end of the tunnel for the syrian people and made them feel more secure we'll see if it gives hope for progress in the near future. defense ministry is denying the pentagon's accusations meantime that u.s. led forces were injured need to resort in a strike on saturday the ministry us forces were informed in advance about the military operation here and added that russian air force conducts precision strikes early on intelligence confirmed by several channels as a footnote we will. it's like militants have been recruiting foreign fighters in syria and iraq meantime for the past few years another side of this whole story many when that a fight bought their families along with the most a suppose you would but with the terror group suffering a string of major defeat the wives and children of a large number of killed fighters have ended up in refugee camps with uncertain
6:20 am
futures ati was first to talk to some of the widows of foreign extremists and their right to camp where hundreds of families are stranded locational identities disclosed for the. moment. it's a chain that. scares you because it is such a dumb was a vision of. an elite yeah it was a lot of like the killing fields please see them live on. your computer that's something please don't any of the gun use things you know how to make you think i'm going to look like they're doing right. now on the legal status of the wives of fighters is unclear but meantime in europe last year around six hundred people were put on trial for terrorism with more than three hundred fifty prosecuted fatalities did you had his and we talked to
6:21 am
a couple of political commentators about this story and whether the wives of ice on fighters should indeed be treated as extremists or not. 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 and 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 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 a terrorist organization and just because you're married you should have no responsibility for that whatsoever what mr savage but you aren't a terrorist organization so i want to not have you make your own please let me say
6:22 am
they signed on for lying beside me so let's be clear on my position and let's be clear what i look if you actually look a little later a 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 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 state the answer is to integrate them we have the national security apparatus in place to be able to tackle these issues right now. those called by russia for the twenty eighty winter olympics on thursday was made by seventeen national sports doping agencies but the head of the world anti-doping agency hit back at an
6:23 am
international. session. comments that have been made by the. time leave the work that has been done to develop the proper system in russia and backwards rather than looking forward it comes after seventeen national anti-doping agencies including the u.k. and the u.s. called on the international olympic committee to take action against russia in a strongly worded statement the agency's accuse the i.o.c. of not doing enough to investigate allegations of russian don't ping adding that the reluctance to take action against russian athletes could even threaten the future of the olympic movement itself but this statement didn't come out of nowhere it came hot off the back of revelations from was a that the that ninety five out of ninety six of the russian athletes who were
6:24 am
mentioned in that mcclaren report the now notorious mclaren report has been found clear of any wrongdoing due to a lack of sufficient evidence however there's no clear sailing for the russian these just yet they're going to have to wait on a final decision on whether a blanket ban on russia taking part in the olympic games will be in place or not which is due from the i.o.c. in november sports governments specialist more told us he thinks the latest calls to russia for the winter olympics are. it is based on very flawed evidence based in a whisper who know that the russian authorities can't even gets the american authorities ask questions of what all he knows and how it was being done and so basis is open like drawn back on to russia however it seems that everybody is complicit in some way or shape or form so it's kind of a case of like how much is how much is too much and when will it be enough for these kind of like group of seventeen very much boy is interested parties to just
6:25 am
say ok russia prove you just keep proving that you're doing the right thing you kind of wonder what our deal to your motives for these people to be pushing and pushing and pushing because it really isn't fair it shows great consistency on their side that they're able to be you're pointing the finger at russia when their own houses are very very far from being in order however we have to look at what's going right in russia. that's the way the news panned out for us this week i'm kevin o. in leaving it for now with the images of the terror attack on the london choo train the friday morning rush thirty injured the what was described as the u.k.'s fifth terrorist attack this year thanks for watching the weekly.
6:26 am
good go. through. it. and. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did i took a line the whole gist i came to god and that that the death star game and it was not. many lives have been broken really excessive that the banks got you into a war on all the big bankers go big. or go on the banks but i just didn't think of the. last morning through the back. creditors people see no future bad face would have become ill to join your relationship
6:27 am
breaks down you become a casualty is dead a lifelong trap or is there a way out i was actually going to a bit of you know would write code to ditch bill for so much to scare him with. the international community continues lee emphasize about one or united iraq as a slogan maybe. approach to the politicians but in reality all the growth. in the new record called united the years curse that was to be blamed school what is happening in the rest of iraq and the direct wrong directions that iraq has gone through. are.
6:28 am
welcome to. terrorism has been unequivocal declared as the course of our times a phenomena worthy of wavering condemnation and as a 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 coordinator of the united nations. monitoring team mr sions it's such a great pleasure talking to you thank you very much for. me now your 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 that leave you in the position of when you have to fide a label a terrorist brand rather than thin and then the such well see the interesting
6:29 am
aspects about the security council work on that i've advised on the sanctions is that it has taken that position not to define terrorism but to tell the world. so all of you have sanctions against seventy five plus x. it changes pretty much on a daily basis groups around the world that sanction us being connected so there you have your political fee. the internationally agreed groups that are terrorists but the missions do you know better than i do that. they'll qaeda ideology sometimes espoused by groups that do not call themselves and in fact in syria we had a number of efforts of by an al qaeda affiliate to brand itself without any changes and specifically to sort of distance itself from the al qaeda title so again how are you going to define who is and who is not no it's more than the ideology and in fact most of the groups on the sanctions list i'm cold.
