10:06 am
president was not impressed by the compromise that the united nations. 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 at this point we're hearing u.s. leaders again talking harshly about more sanctions sanctions against russia sanctions against china if china doesn't follow these 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 in the aftermath of a resolution being passed unanimously at the u.n. security council and what many saw as a victory for diplomacy the words that we heard from u.s.
10:07 am
leaders on the floor of the security council were rather diplomatic we are not looking for war the north korean regime has not yet passed the point of no return if it agrees to stop its nuclear program it can reclaim its future if it proves it can live in peace the world will live in peace with. the latest sanctions imposed by the u.n. security council a result of the heinous u.s. attempts to isolate and suffocating tone country. place in violation of us over and that's why we totally reject and condemn these sanctions many people whose hopes had really been raised for peace and diplomacy being victorious while those hopes are starting to dampen the are 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 this is just another dip on the roller
10:08 am
coaster and saying that every week with the war where it goes up very high than that maybe this one conciliatory talk some cooperation some diplomacy and then more threats of military force 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 us to step down. after washington's calls for a new sanctions north korea carried out a missile test on friday according to the site korean military the project reached an altitude of seven hundred seventy kilometers and traveled almost five times about distance before falling into the ocean just like the test carried out a few weeks ago the missile flew over japan triggering an alert on ok to island or not everyone in japan felt threatened by a bubble. but. i don't feel like japan is their target it's their target is the u.s. that's why the missiles are just passing north would you but i don't think north
10:09 am
korea will drop a meter of directly on us and say. it's a missile destroyer of strength good because we won't have to go to school. we were raised around never taking it seriously. career reacted to friday's missile test with a military drill near the border with the north and although this site korean president threatened pyongyang with quote destruction beyond recovery he ruled out stationing nuclear weapons 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
10:10 am
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 a preemptive preventive war is aggression and that i don't lie. the french president's labor reform plans which are due this month was voiced on tuesday with nationwide strikes on hundred surprise leaks protests and turned violent with project ellison fleurs being thrown.

10:22 am
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 ibish are saying how they got you are in a terrorist organization so i want to know this have you met you know i don't these i've been saying they signed on for lying beside me so let's be clear on my position and let's be clear what i look at your little girl you don't like your name for yourself as a showing for the majority of iraq just take the air piece out and 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. 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

10:27 am
those years ago i don't know that but we are not. welcome to terrorism has been unequivocal declared as the scorch 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 a joined by their ordinator of the united nations. monitoring team mr sions
10:28 am
it's such a great pleasure talking to you thank you very much for you for me 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 that leave you in the position of when you have to fide a label a terrorist brand rather than thin them and then the such well see the interesting aspects about the security council work on that i wouldn't rising on the sanctions is that it has taken that position not to define terrorism but to tell the world who are so we have. seventy five plus exchanges pretty much in the databases groups around the world that sanction us being connected. so there you have your political field the internationally agreed groups that are terrorists but the missions are you know better than i did that. they'll qaeda ideology sometimes
10:29 am
espoused by groups that do not call themselves and in fact in syria we had a number of efforts by and the. brand 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 and who is not no it's more than the ideology and. and in fact most of the groups on the sanctions list are not called al qaida what for example is on the sanctions list the terek a taliban pakistan on the sanctions list saw it the definition that gets you on the list is number one you need to take concrete action in support off on behalf of in the name of al-qaeda so it is about active engagement on recruitment on getting money on procuring rep or on supporting in any actual process for example if you are seeking acts of measures. targeting civilians killing innocent people in the name of let's say so.
