i am. in the stories that shaped the week britons face a terror attack this year. young yang finds a ballistic missile over japan after the international community hits north korea with the sanctions. and the french president's proposed labor reforms trigger vonne of protests and

nationwide strikes they've been described as a declaration of war against workers' rights. from moscow this is the weekly off the international with me quote. a second man has been arrested in the u.k. in connection with friday's terror attack on the long long the ground which left thirty people injured an improvised explosive device went off inside a chub train at eight twenty in the morning local time the blast caused panic and a stampede with the young child among the injured islamic state claims it was behind the attack reporting from west london his honest to see a choking. you get 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 get out if you are you. 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 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 a beautiful bump and go 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 flying that anybody. can do anything 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 marty london. earlier this sunday the u.k. reduced its national threat level from critical to severe that means an attack is now not thought to be imminent although it is still highly likely we spoke to journalist and political commentator moss and some as 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 at 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 terrorism and everything that goes with this 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 capitals may in the past have said been living with the threat of terrorism is something 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 as much 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 but. we need to take. that as we'll see an increased number of visible police officers. 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 repaired by the u.s. was renegotiated to seal the vote 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 they were gentle draft also demanded a travel ban and an asset freeze against the north korean leader but didn't make it into the final draft either and the u.s.

president was not impressed by the compromise at 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 its own country. 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 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 rollercoaster and saying that every week it with the war where it goes up very high

than that maybe this one conciliatory talk some. operations of 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 called for new sanctions north korea carried out a missile test on for a day according to the south korean military the projectile reached now to shoot a 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 flew over japan triggering alert on hokkaido island however not everyone in japan felt threatened by him to launch. to be frank i don't feel like japan is their target is their target is the u.s. that's why these are just pressing goals that to me i don't think your career will drop me self directly on i. say. it's

a missile is trough strength good because we won't have to go to school only from their home we were raised joking around never taking it seriously south korea reacted to friday's missile test with a military drill near the border with the north and although the south 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 constantly stir up trouble by having our military confrontation about building up and having these war games what are these war games where 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 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. deep anger at the french president's labor reform plans which you this month was voiced on tuesday with nationwide strikes and hundreds of romney's protests in paris turned violent with projectiles and flags being thrown. but. i am. sure you know your.

opponents over the labor reform say they favor employers over work has limit compensation for unfair dismissal and reduce the power of the unions while the boy reports from powers one of the big newspapers here in france will miss him i know my son's christening old father these are the biggest street protests to take place in front ever since he was elected president earlier this year and people here are very unhappy about the labor laws that he wants to implement it he wants to shake up the job market and make it easier to hire and fire personnel he thinks will tackle misuse of money high unemployment rate here in france it is almost non of the rates in the u.k. and germany the trade union scale are dead set against the changes and they have come out in full force hitting the streets in that sounds and in paris today in

order to say no to michael micron's plan for changes to the north 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 walk as comedians and clowns it comes as old that was we know you can to say. that they believe that this represents the likes of the employés enfant i not only take a listen to what they had to say. this lowers 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 the majority of all french workers will significantly limit their rights and make it easier to find people to see them when it's not justified that. it's about to low which is harmful for us this would leave us without any war i guarantee among not calling made a bet about that last week when he told the people that i'm a. free man and i will be absolutely determined to do that i will not yield in any way not to slack because you are not 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 spirit is this movement is necessary it is the response of the french people who are protecting their rights.

to positively use to take sun. and he was all about that later on the looking foolish in the only people who hear this it at all possible absolutely mop up the soul if a little bit of it for me to put him on this will lead him to it made it clear he's also feel that if the new. you look at it it will be with you know if. i don't vote and then face private health care at home and have on the president who is determined to push the last three days that he has a strong mandate in order to implement he has gotten off to the french caribbean you know if you feel with the fallout you have hurricane. we being built at the showdown between the pro-business president who's come to power to shake up the job

market hands the trade union movement. as the last of which we're not seeing to. watch. over the next. just a few months and some across presidency his approval ratings have already nosedived dr paul's with an expert in french politics at the u.k.'s not a university says it's unclear if mccrone 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 towards paul to be in for all its likes to mobilize people and there's a sense that 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 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. syrian media report that a dozen civilians have been killed in a u.s. led coalition air strike in war torn province we'll have the details after this break. our.

local blogs telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battle they believe to do so to try to tell you that i'll be gossiping probably. be. talking about her eyes and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. that we along with all the. welcome back at least twelve civilians have been killed by a u.s. led coalition air strike in dare result province according to syrian media we contacted the u.s. central command for clarification it says the strikes targeted eisel infrastructure

. on the sixteenth of september military forces conducted strike. that engaged in. the u.s. air strike in question. this is remaining strongholds. 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 a. tactic to surround themselves with civilians. make sure make a point to fight in buildings which are occupied by civilians this is their human

shield and. shield the. u.s. led coalition jets will avoid hitting isis if there are civilians around them 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. and syria we heard from the director of the think tank. told us the u.s. led coalition doesn't seem to have changed its approach to as strikes despite numerous instances in which it's killed civilians. 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 as 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 the eastern part of syria. as islamic state suffers a string of major defeat so many of the finest family members are ending up in refugee camps their futures highly uncertain altie has been 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 it's not important i guess for that does people church. believed there was a border like i knew god is stronger than it actually. was here someone cut off wasn't heard tell us it was risking their legal status all of

the wives or vice a fight is 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 are biased or 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 is making is that you are an adult have chosen to join

a terrorist organization just because you're married you should have no responsibility for that whatsoever i want me. to terrorist organizations that i want to not have you make your own piece of this 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 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. 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. well we can now tell you the story of two children who have been reunited with their relatives here in russia to being rescued from territory which was under i still control in iraq here on r.t. we noticed a campaign called bring them home to help the authorities trace the. friends relations atlanta had to deal with found in mosul it's believed the youngsters immediate families were killed in fighting there too traumatized to tell their stories but it is thought that the boy was rescued from a basement where he hid with his mother two brothers and sister the mets and lamb and had in a bank died of aids when they arrived two weeks. we've . got. to get another.

place out of the door. that. is good. news night to do it all for it's nice to be a boy. jacqueline vega was at the airport for us when the youngsters arrived. both children were clearly traumatized cleaning to the adults there finally bringing them home little had 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've learned a little bit more of young of lund's 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 sounds of bombs falling. or lines father died separately klein was in

a basement with his mother two brothers and his sister he was the only one who survived to be sadly these two are just a few among many many children for no apparent list and alone far far away from home. that's the weekly get in touch and tell us what you think on altie dot com all facebook i'll be back with more of the week's biggest stories in about half an hour. the international community continues lee emphasize about one theoretical united iraq as a slogan maybe an approach to the politicians but in reality on the ground iraqis

want a new record called united and the u.s. courage that was to be blamed school what is happening in the rest of iraq and the direct wrong directions that iraq has gone through. the nobody knows no martial and. islamic states claims it was behind the manchester terror attack by the north front so kill the priest every time a terrorist attack happens all these people are out there screaming isis so bad someone needs to do something against them and for me yeah why don't something. to. be told as long. as i don't have a case of. a challenger.

has got a. live. show. here's how it started with u.s. households sinking every deeper into debt encouraged by the government and the banks to take out mortgages even those who did not have the means to do so. until the day the bubble burst this is been a historic sunday pastor this hour the lehman brothers investment bank it appears heading toward bankruptcy in two thousand and eight the poorest homeowners unable

to meet their mortgage repayments began to massively sell off their properties the real estate market collapsed and along with it the banks who become embroiled in these subprime loans. on september fifteenth two thousand and eight the death of lehman brothers the fourth largest u.s. investment bank not the beginning of a huge financial and economic crisis that would spread worldwide. the likes of it had not been seen since the great depression of the thirty's a wave of corporate bankruptcy was followed with considerable loss of jobs. to people blame the bankers like here in iceland where eighty percent of the banking system collapsed and even more so in greece where the state teetered on the brink of bankruptcy. with the crisis of public debt skyrocketed as did household overindebtedness.
