a twenty seventeen pandemic of terror with this now the fifth and every attack demands more security measures and public vigilance now the guard. 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 maps 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 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 the car with the mom a man was shouting grand run so we all piled off the train and just ran for our
11:03 am
lives we were literally running for our lives and i still for a second i'm about people jumping over what all's well like but the other choice they should have to jump and go into the 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 following 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 party london meanwhile and up to this sunday in the u.k. it's just reduced its national threat level from critical to severe that means an attack is no not thought to be imminent but still highly likely the couples mirror
11:04 am
in the past said that living with the threat of terrorism is something londoners just off to excess. you won't succeed but you want to fight us we will be cowed by terrorists. you will see over the next few days i mean chris number. across. the attempts to. make countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together. and. they continue to be visible patrols around. which include the deployment of.
11:05 am
will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days no reason to be a long. road but. maybe. that is we'll see an increased number of visible police. meanwhile it's been another week of 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 see live vote washington had wanted a full oil natural gas embargo against north korea but the final resolution imposed
11:06 am
only up on the country's exports the original draft also demanded a travel ban on an asset freeze against the north korean leader but that didn't make it into the final draft either in the u.s. president wasn't too impressed by the compromise of 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
11:07 am
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. 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 suffocate her own 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
11:08 am
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 in the crisis in the korean peninsula could be once again intensifying this is just another dip on the roller coaster and saying that every week with the war where it goes up very high than that maybe this some 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 both sides to step down. after washington's calls for a new sanctions north korea. test on friday according to the site korean military the project reached an altitude of seven hundred seventy kilometers traveled almost five times that distance before falling into the ocean just like a test carried out to a number of weeks ago when the missile flew over japan triggering
11:09 am
a motorist on hope to island over not everyone in the country felt threatened by the launch. but to be frank i don't feel like japan is their target their target is the u.s. that's why the missiles are just passing over japan and i don't think north korea will drop directly on us and say. it's a missile good because we have to get to school. we were. taking it seriously. so i really reacted to friday's missile test with another three year of the border with. this side korean president threatened with destruction beyond recovery stationing their weapons former u.s. congressman ron paul told this washington should let the korean leaders result a crisis that is so. why couldn't we encourage and get behind saying
11:10 am
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 they 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 and you know it's 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 out. our official policy that you need to have preventive war well preemptive preventive war is aggression and that i don't lie. deep anger out the french president's labor reform plans which are due this month was voiced choose they would nationwide strikes on hundreds of rallies protests in parties turned violent with projectiles flourish being thrown.
11:11 am
at the. opponents of the labor reform say they favor employers over workers' limits compensation for on for the smiths so reduce the power of unions reporting from paris only point. one of the big newspapers here in france emmanuel micron's christening old result the biggest street protests to take place in front ever since he was elected president this year and people here are very unhappy
11:12 am
about the labor law that he wants to implement he wants to shake up the job market and make it easier to hire and fire personnel he thinks. is of an elite high unemployment rate here in front. of the rage in the u.k. and germany but the trade unions dead set against the changes and they have come out in full force hitting the streets in that town in paris today in order to say no to michael micron's plan for changes to the law now this is being seen as a bit of a litmus test because i know my own seat spent a lot of the summer trying to placate some of the smaller trade unions here nevertheless today's demonstrations have been organized by the largest trade union and we've been speaking to people what the french railway network to traffic controllers even people who walk as comedians in cars from all that was we've
11:13 am
spoken to say that they believe that this represents the likes of the employers in france i know the employees take a listen to what they had to say. this lowers anti social because it's reliable for workers. 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 all she do before the draft or thanks eighteen million workers the majority of french workers will significantly limit their rights to make it easier to find people even when it's not justified. you know. it's about too low which is harmful for us this would leave us without any war guarantees among among one major bit of baghdad that last week when he referred to all the people that it was a low blow extremist and then it will be absolutely determined to do that i will
11:14 am
not yield in any way not to slack because you've got to cynics not to extremists. who are gathered here today to protest against macron and his policies which undermine the very existence of the workers from the sphere is this movement is necessary it is the response of the french people who are protecting their rights. and the president was used to take signs as well and he was all about that later on the looking foolish in the it will be what it is to hear this it at all possible of city he's only thinking about it for me to put him on this whole need and did it
11:15 am
made it clear he's also feel that even though he couldn't exclude it it will be with you know if. i don't know what i'm going to face the protests here at home in holland the president who is determined to push these last three days as he has a strong mandate in order to implement them he has doubts and often the french caribbean in order to deal with the fallout you have a hurricane of that so the protest am weak being billed as a showdown between the pro-business president who's come to power to shake on the job market demands the trade union movement he has the last opportunity to discover the plan for this long before it was through mother moments up. i think that we. are just a few months into my presidency his approval ratings have already nosedived dr paul smith an expert in french politics at the university believes it's too early to
11:16 am
tell if mccraw will be able to push through his reforms it's the same as we've seen over the last ten years the trade union movement or least part of it in france likes to mobilize people and this is. these these changes all right a call but i think what we need to what we need to look at very carefully is just how many people really want this test is being seen as what today is being seen as is a test of the strength of opposition i'd also the strength of one of the trade unions which the main trade union that that called the action it really remains to be seen whether over the months to come whether this government on like it's pretty decisive is able not only to talk the talk to walk the walk and that's to say to deliver the reforms it wants to deliver more of the week's big new stories in ninety seconds. here's what people have been saying about rejected and this is. the only show i go
11:17 am
out of my way to find you know. really pack them. yeah john oliver of our to america. we are apparently better than. see people you've never heard of. jack tonight. the world bank. sent us an e-mail the international community continues li emphasize about what iraq or united iraq as a slogan maybe an approach will for the politicians but in reality on the ground iraqis are. united and. kurds are not the ones to be blamed for what is happening. in the rest of iraq i mean the direct wrong direction is that iraq is going through .

11:21 am
peace in the war ravaged country the garden tori's of the peace element russia iran and turkey have signed a document marking the by injuries of the final deescalation so in a province in northwest syria that's on top of the already implemented zones elsewhere in the country and while there is still much to be done to unite all the countries forces in the struggle against terrorism russia's special envoy for syria is hopeful. we consider the establishment of the deescalation zone will still be a major milestone it has served as the light at the end of the tunnel for the syrian people and made them feel more secure it gives hope for progress in the near future while ours islamic state suffers a string of major districts many of the fighters family members are ending up in refugee camps their futures highly uncertain r.t. has been the first to talk to some of the widows of foreign extremists in one iraqi council where hundreds are being housed at the location their identities will not

be the slowest for their safety until you know it's not important yes program does visit people church. leaders people like the new girl is stronger than it used. to get but i am here as someone cut the budget cuts how did this well legal status of the wives of i still finders is not yet clear overall in europe last year almost six hundred people were put on trial for terrorism with more than three hundred fifty prosecuted for ties to extremism we talked to a couple of political commentators about whether the wives of fighters who followed their husbands into conflict zones should be treated as extremists. 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
11:23 am
a state that isn't the united kingdom isn't america isn't 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 part of these atrocities let's be clear what the argument that no one saw is making is that you are an adult war have chosen to join a terrorist organization just because you're married you should have no responsibility for that whatsoever i want me sadly but you are in a terrorist organization so i want to not have you make your own piece of this attack 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 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
11:24 am
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 ear piece 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. two children have been reunited with their relatives here in russia after being rescued from territory which was under control in iraq here at r.t. we launched a campaign called bring them home to help the authorities trace. orphans relations . were falling did in mosul it's believed the youngsters immediate families were
