just because something's legal doesn't mean it's saying i was i think it was. i was. in the stories that shaped the way britain's fifth terror attack this year sees the people injured in a pawn blast on the london underground the second man is now under arrest. young young fires a ballistic missile over japan after the international community gets north korea with the sanctions and. i find out. the french president's proposed labor reforms trigger violent protests in nationwide strikes they've been described as a declaration of war against workers' rights.

follow the latest developments and look back at what's been happening over the last seven days you're watching a weekly here on r.t. international and we 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 a stampede with a young child among the injured islamic state claims it was behind me attack reporting from west london his. 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 now the. following the van attack on westminster bridge they play. 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 steal 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 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 and the baby in the car with the mom to men 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 with up to fall jumping down into the steve jumping into of 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 they're not taking the subway like let's take a 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. early this sunday the juices national threat level from critical to severe and that means an attack is now not thought to be imminent although it is still highly likely we spoke to journalist and political commentator and 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 part of the war

mongering 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 it one presumes from the if they've reduced the terror threat than they've they've got reason to do that but of course we don't necessarily always trust the government sells about these things the capitol's may in the past has said that living with the threat of terrorism is something that londoners just have to accept. 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 creased number of. across london.

the attempts to divide has met countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together. there continue to be visible patrols around manchester which include the deployment of armed officers. 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'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 seal a vote washington had wanted a full oil and natural gas embargoed 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 against the north korean leader but that didn't make it into the final draft either in the u.s. president wasn't 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 heinous u.s. attempts to isolate and suffocate our country they are a blatant 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're 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 this huge 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 can be the real question is going to be when do we actually get to

a diplomatic track that allows both sides to step down. well after washington called for new sanctions north korea did carry out a missile test on friday according to the south korean military the projectile here reached an altitude 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 to the missile flew right over the top of japan triggering an alert on hokkaido island however but everybody in japan feels threatened. but to be frank i don't feel like japan is their target as 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 to say. it's a missile destroyer strength good because we won't have to go to school on leave and go home we were raised joking around never taking it seriously in response south korea reacted to friday's missile test with

a military trail near the border with the north and although the south korean president threatened pyongyang with quote destruction beyond recovery he did rule out stationing nuclear weapons former u.s. congressman ron paul told us that 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 is aggression and that i don't lie. the french president's labor reform plans we charge this month was fully stone cheese day with nationwide strikes and hundreds of rallies protests in paris turned violent and projectiles some flares being thrashed. yes that's right out of her. opponents of the labor forms to say they favor employee. compensation for unfair dismissal reduce the power of the unions from paris his party boycott. one of the

big newspapers here in france will miss him i know my son's christening old these are 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 law that he wants to implement saying he wants to shake up the job market and make it easier to hire and fire personnel he thinks will tackle is on monday high unemployment rate here in front it is almost non of the rates in the u.k. and germany but trade unions pale dead set against the changes and they have come out in full force hitting the streets in the last sounds and in paris today in order to say no to michael micron's plan for changes to the goal 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 nevertheless today's demonstration has been organized by the largest trade union and we've been speaking to people what the french railway network to add traffic controllers even people who watch as comedians in cars it comes as old it was wi fi you can see you say. they believe that this represents the likes of the employés enfant i'm not the only take a listen to what they had to say. they said what is so this lower is anti social because it's a beautiful one of. the budget the wall of 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 the majority of all french workers will significantly limit their rights and make it easier to find people even when it's

not justified that. it's about to low which is harmful for us this would leave us without any more guarantees among the monk was made a bit of like last week when he left oh it's 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 to cynics not to extremists. to get the kids today to protest against macron and his policies which undermine the very existence of the workers from full spirit is this movement is necessary it is the response of the french people who are protecting their rights.

to positively houston take the sun. and he was all about that later on looking foolish in it only. because it had all possible absolutely he's only thinking about it for me. it made it clear he's also feel that even looking. if you look at this little boy you know. i don't know what i'm going to face the protests here at home and probably the president who is determined to push these laws through he says he has a strong mandate in order to implement he has doubts and often a french caribbean in order to deal with the fallout in a hurricane of. the protest am really being billed as the showdown between the pro-business president who's come to power a common man need to shake up the job market mounds of the trade union movement. as the last note but she did not take long to discover the plan for this war it was

through mother moments over the next week. reporting now still ahead for you syrian media are reporting tonight that a dozen civilians have been killed in the u.s. led coalition air strike in war torn to resort province we'll have the details just after the break.

seem wrong. just don't. get to shape our. outlook. and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. hello again syrian media are reporting tonight that at least twelve civilians have been killed by a u.s. led coalition air strike india's or province we contacted the u.s. central command for clarification and it says that the strikes targeted ice a limp or structure. on the sixteenth of september military forces conducted.

the u.s. strike in question. remaining strongholds in syria. to the south of. the strike apparently according to these various sources killed at least twelve. of them women and children we've reached out to the u.s. led coalition. have no information regarding civilian casualties but they're investigating they usually do 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 that. shield. u.s.

led coalition jets. if there are. but. that isn't the case three weeks ago. told me that they expect to dig up as many as five thousand. out of the rubble. in the city of mosul. the u.s. led coalition doesn't seem to change its approach to. which is. 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 hit an isis or a 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 eastern part of syria. now is islamic state suffers a string of major defeat many of the fighters family members are ending up in refugee camps their future is highly uncertain assy has been one of the first to talk to some of the widows of foreign extremists in one iraqi camp where hundreds are being housed the location and their identities will not be disclosed for their safety. until you know i was watching porn you know yes father does visit you falsely. accusing anybody of anything you believe your family living people or the like and he goes for the radiation and. you get the threats that. your son comes up with wasn't there that's how was it that. the legal status of the wise advice of fighters 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 or fighters who followed their husbands into conflict zones should be treated as extremists but 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 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 mr savage journey to terrorist organizations but i want to know that you make your own piece of this is a sideshow for him because i mean so what so let's be clear on my position and let's be clear what i look at you actually look a little later 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 be. the children who are entirely innocent to return to united to carry on 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 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 and we have the national security apparatus

in place to be able to tackle these issues right now. now and some better news to children have been reunited with their relatives here in russia after being rescued from territory which was under control in iraq here in r.t. we don't see the campaign called bring them home to help the authorities trace the orphans relations had learned and they were found in mosul it's believed the youngsters immediate families were killed in fighting they are too traumatized to tell their stories although it is thought the boy was rescued from a basement where he hid with his mother two brothers and also sister plan and a d.j. in baghdad often age when they arrived there he weeks ago. so. that he feels. to be above.

most of the war. is crucial you. argue the negative view of korea more more. or more. jaclyn view was at the airport for us when the youngsters arrived. both children were clearly traumatized clinging to the adults there finally bringing them little head usually kept touching her leg and at one point she lifted up her feet leg and you can 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 he was constantly hearing the sounds of bombs falling. or. father died separately klein 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. shocking people reporting to be much of the week here not to don't forget you can have a look at all these stories plus more to you at our website. i've got to do just that if you're watching our. swashing. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us actually just full on

awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than the things that i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight not the president of the world bank so patzers he doesn't really mean it seriously he's honest. selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace talks to fight the battles they don't believe the new socks credit tell you that will be gossip and the most important news today. to tell you you are not cool enough to buy their product. these are the hawks that we along with our. watch.

the mission of news with it is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say that the average viewer knows that r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what the cover how long the coverage or how to say it that's the beauty of our t.v. america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that journalists are not letting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people.

just seem. to want. my rule. the world according to ship. on everybody welcome to the second show and i've got a riddle for you what do five. trips tomorrow lago and fighter jets have been common. here's. your tax dollars that's right your hard cash is being wasted by the military today we will break it all down. the

war. governor it was recently revealed that the u.s. military spends ten times as much buying pills for soldiers with erectile dysfunction than it does on health care for transgender soldier is that when it comes to the latter the trumpet ministration claims that the costs are so tremendous they must be cut so let's look at the numbers now in twenty fourteen by agrah cost the pentagon over forty one million dollars alone in comparison an analysis from the rand corporation has found that health care for transgender soldiers only increases the budget between two million and eight million dollars per year and amount that rand says has little impact on overall d.o.d. health care expenditures here's a clip from a speech that you gave in one thousand nine hundred eight when you were first running for governor when you're in the military you work with every race creed color and nationality it doesn't come down to any of that it comes down to can you get the job done and that's all you.
