the french president's proposed labor reform is triggered violent protests a nationwide strike because they've been described as a declaration of war against workers' rights. hello there the latest developments in a look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to you watching weekly here on r.t. international. now we'll start with the news that a second man has been arrested in the u.k. in connection with friday's terror attack on the london underground which left thirty people injured an improvised explosive device went off inside a cheap train at eight twenty in the morning local time the blast caused panic and the stampede with a young child among the injured islamic state claims it was behind the attack reporting now from west london his and chalk and. yet another terrorism related incident in the u.k.

a twenty seventeen pandemic of terror with this now the fifth and every attack demands more security measures and public vigilance crowded very. following the 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 steel spikes road mats to be rolled out a big events but just days after the announcement london was hit by 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 car with the mom a man was shouting grand 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. to transition we have to pull up and go into steve's drop it 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. 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. well earlier this sunday the. national threat level from critical to severe means an attack is now not thought to be imminent but it is highly likely we spoke to journalist. and political commentator martin summers he says the official level does not always

reflect the seriousness of the threat. in the past they have been manipulated in this country and elsewhere political means so for example in the run up to the iraq war in two thousand and three there was a big security alert heathrow which many people believe was polls of the warmongering of the governments of the of the day and of course in the u.s. this constant shifting of the level of terror threats is used as a part of the political theater surrounding this whole war on terror and everything goes with this one presumes from the if they produce the terror threat than they do a reason to do that but of course we don't necessarily always trust the government sells about these things or the capitals may in the past has said that living with the threat of terrorism is something that london is just have to accept.

you won't succeed but you want to fight us we will be cowered by terrorists. you will see over the next few days i mean creased number of. across. the attempts to divide has met 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. to be any. longer as we'll see an increased number of visible police officers. now it has 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 but paid by the u.s. was renegotiated to see the 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 and an asset freeze the against the north korean leader but that didn't make it into the final draft and the u.s.

president was not impressed by the compromise 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 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.

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 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 well 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

coaster and saying that every week it with the war record goes up very high than that maybe this conciliatory talk. some cooperation still 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 when off to washington's calls for new sanctions north korea carried out a missile test on friday according to the south korean military projects to cheat of seven hundred seventy kilometers and traveled almost five times that distance before falling into the ocean and just like the test carried out a few weeks ago the missile did fly right over japan triggering an. island not everybody in japan seems to feel 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 passing over japan and i don't think north korea will drop directly on us and say. it's

a missile destroyer strength good because we won't have to go to school only figure how do we were race changing around taking it seriously. in response to south korea react by those missile tests but the minute trail near the border with the north. the south korean president threatened pyongyang with quote destruction recovery did relax stationing nuclear weapons former u.s. congressman ford told us that washington should let the korean ladies since and so . 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 in confrontation. no 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 tries 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. the french president's labor reform plans which this month was for the stone change day with nationwide strikes and hundreds of rallies process and paris will say to them for a project i'm being threatened. what.

was left out of her. opponents of the labor forms to say they favor employers limit compensation for unfair dismissal and also reduce the power of unions boyko reports now from paris one of the big newspapers here in france will miss him i know my son's christening old these all the biggest street protests to take place in front ever since he was elected president this year and people here are very unhappy about the labor laws that he wants to implement saying he wants to shake up the job market and make it easier to hire and fire the now he thinks full time is of an elite high unemployment rate here in front. of the rates in the u.k. and germany the trade union scale all dead set against the changes and they have

come out in full flow hitting the streets that south korea today in order to say no to my law changes it all now being seen as a bit of a litmus test because i know. that at least some. cases i know this is going to change you say it nevertheless today's demonstration in organized by the largest trade union movement people like the french railway network see traffic controllers even people who was comedians in cars it was old it was. but i can see you say that they believe that this represents the likes of the employers in fun i'm not really take a listen to what they had to say. they said what is so this lower is anti social because it's. good but at the wall i will say this law doesn't provide workers with

rights to work doesn't give privileges in both the public and the private sector we defend the interests of workers what conditions retirement should they fall to the draft or thanks eighteen million workers a majority of all french workers significantly limit their rights and make it easier to find people when it's not justified that you know. it's about too low which is harmful for us this would leave us without any war there and. not the lock was made a bit of a last week when he referred to all the people that have. remained and i will be absolutely determined to do that i will not yield in any way not to slack because you're not 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 right. to positively houston take sun. and he was all about that later on looking foolish . is it at all possible absolutely he's only thinking about it for me to put him in this hole even to evade. little you know if. i don't know what i'm going to face the protests here at home and the president who is determined to push these last three he says he has a strong mandate in order to implement he has stepped it off to the french caribbean you know it's a deal with the fallout you have

a hurricane. the protest am leaving of the showdown between the pro-business president who's come to power to shake on the job market mounds the trade union. the last of which you say to. watch. over the next week. as polly said just a few months into my presidency his approval ratings have already know you starved dr paul smith an expert in french politics of the u.k.'s nottingham university does believe it's too early to tell if 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 for all its likes to mobilize people and there's a sense that these these changes are 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

a what today is being seen as is a test of the strength of opposition i'd also the strength of one of the trade union movements the main trade union 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 but she to walk the walk and that's to say to deliver the reforms it wants to deliver it what you know we can hear in our team will be back. to selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to buy the battle. that you talk to try to tell you that because of the public but. i think you know.

we. were walking. international community continues li emphasize about one zero or united iraq as a slogan maybe an approach will of the politicians but in reality on the growth iraq is not one and the record was united and years kurds are not the ones to be blamed for what is happening in the rest of iraq under the direct wrong directions that iraq has gone through. hello again there syrian media are reporting tonight that at least twelve civilians have been killed by u.s. led coalition air strike india as a whole province we contacted the u.s.

central command for clarification on this and it says that the strikes targeted eisel infrastructure. on the sixteenth of september military forces. that engaged in. the u.s. strike in question. to the south of. the strike apparently according to these killed at least twelve. of them women and children we've reached out to the u.s. coalition. have no information regarding civilian casualties but they're investigating they usually. happen hundreds and hundreds of times. it is. isis. make sure make

a point to fight in buildings which are occupied by civilians this is their human shield and. shield. u.s. led coalition jets. if there are. three weeks ago. as many as five thousand. out of the rubble. he told the u.s. coalition doesn't seem to have changed its approach to. since the start of the operations in mosul time and again i think we lost count on

the many times when the united states wanted to and i see this more of the target and then suddenly there is a huge massacre taking place and this is really hurting and reflecting negatively on the united states' efforts to you know establish its own project sort of the old regime protected regime in the eastern part of syria. now as islamic states such as the string of major defeats many of the fighters family members are ending up in refugee camps their future is highly uncertain has been one of the first to talk to some. extremists in one iraqi camp where hundreds of being housed the location their identities will not be disclosed for their safety i'll tell you how you know i was watching porn you know yes program does visit people sure but they even got a name that was going to leave their family was it people would like to thank god it's true that it's actually good

a. couple that was here last among the top ones i think that's all that is saying that the legal status of the wives divisive fight is still not yet clear 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 ice still 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 and they wish to join 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 embroiled 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 of what mr savage but you are in a terrorist organization so i want to not have you make your own piece of this area they signed on for lying beside me so let's be clear on my position and let's be clear what i look at you're surely 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 state the answer is to integrate them we have the national security apparatus in place to be able to tackle these issues right now. in some better news two children have been out reunited with their relatives here in russia after being rescued from territory which was under our control in iraq while here in r.t. we don't campaign called bring them home to help the authorities trace the orphans relations atlanta and egypt were found in mosul it's believed the youngsters immediate families were killed in fighting they are too traumatized to tell their stories but it is thought that the boy was rescued from the basement where he hid with his mother two brothers and sister are taking met atlanta and de gea in a baghdad orphanage when they arrived there two weeks ago.

so. that needs. to be a moment. please most of the oil. fields crucially. i'm using oil to give all for more more nourishing for more. shocking because at the airport for us when the youngsters arrived. both children were clearly traumatized clinging to the adults their finally bringing them little hope usually kept touching her leg and at one point she lifted up her current leg and you could see bandages and scars from when she was injured during her time in mosul now we learned a little bit more of young of long story was probably around nine years old he told those that he was with apparently that he was in the basement for

a long period of time in mosul surrounded by other kids in terrible conditions and that it was constantly hearing the sound of bombs falling. or. father died separately and was in a basement with his mother two brothers and his sister he was the only one who survived sadly these two are just a few among many many children for no apparent list alone far far away from home. the reports are just coming in that five may just shopping centers have been evacuated in moscow among them is the riyadh which is next to red square police say evacuations began after anonymous callers told authorities there were explosives in the senses of the five families and businesses are being evacuated and police and emergency services are at the site as we speak it is the latest in a string of such incidents across russia on thursday one hundred and fifty thousand people were evacuated from schools and shopping malls to similar threats will bring

us more details next. so that's how the weekly is looking for the moment don't forget you can keep of course all the stories on our social media pages and also. you are watching our amount per student for. for decades the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics. big money corporate interests that's thrown down a lot of voiced so that's how it is in the news culture in this country now that's where i come in. i'm ed schultz is on r t america i'll make sure you don't get railroaded that you'll get the straight talk in the straight news. questionable.

in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corporations corporations from washington to washington post media the media over voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . all the world. and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties aren t. america r.t. america offers more artsy american personnel. in many ways the use landscape

just like the real news big news good actors bad actors and in the end you could never you're on. so much parking all the world stage all the world stage all the world's a stage and we are definitely a player. in this is america's lawyer and each year millions of people across the globe head to the country of mexico for vacation the subtropical climate rich culture of affordability of resorts in the country make it a premier travel destination for travelers in every price range for most tourists the worst thing they might encounter when visiting next there was a sunburn but there are growing dangers for tourists lurking in the country dangers that have been linked to at least one american and tonight we'll tell you why that real.
