12:06 pm
imposed only a cup. on the country's exports the original draft also demanded a travel ban and an asset freeze against the north korean leader but that didn't make it into the final draft either and the u.s. president was not too impressed by a 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 additional sanctions on them and prevent them from accessing the u.s.
12:07 pm
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 he miss u.s. attempts to isolate and suffocate our country they are a blatant violation of us over and see 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 there are starting to be some some fear that perhaps once again we are in the danger of
12:08 pm
a globe. conflict or some kind of war breaking out and the crisis in the korean peninsula could be once again intensifying this is just another dip on the roller coaster insane just 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 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 musayyib to step down to offer washington's coals for new sanctions north korea carried out a missile test on friday according to the south korean military the projectile reached a multitude of seven hundred seventy kilometers and trouble almost five times about distance before falling into the ocean and just like the test carried out a number of weeks ago the missile flew over japan triggering an alert on hope kaito island or over not everyone in japan felt threatened by the moment. to be
12:09 pm
frank i don't feel like japan is their targets because their target is the u.s. that's why these are just pressing goals with japan and i don't think north korea will drop me so it's directly on us to. say. it's a missile destroyer of strength good because we won't have to go to school. we were . taking it seriously. aside korea reacted to friday's missile test with a military drill near the border with the new mobo besides korean president threatened with destruction beyond recovery the rule died stationing nuclear weapons former u.s. congressman ron paul told us washington should let the korean leaders result of the crisis themselves. why couldn't we encourage and get behind saying look south korea we encourage you to talk to north korea and say 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 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. deep anger at the french president's labor reform plans which are due this month was voiced on choose day with nationwide strikes on hundreds of crawley's protests in paris turned violent with projectiles on floors being thrown.
