in the stories that shaped the week britain's fifty terror attack this year sees thirty people injured in a bomb blast along the underground the second man is now under arrest. yang finds a ballistic missile over japan after the international community hits north korea with sanctions. that. was. the french president's proposed labor reforms triggered bonum protests and a nationwide strikes they've been described as a declaration of war against workers' rights.

from moscow this is the weekly on altie international with me quote 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 achieved train at eight twenty in the morning local time the blast caused panic and the stampede with the young child among the injured islamic states claims it was behind the attack reporting from west london his honest. 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 to guard. 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 and a man was shouting run run so we'll piles off the train and just run for our lives we were literally running for our lives and i saw for a second i'm about to jump over what all's well like but to transition with a beautiful bump and go into the steve 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 it's kind of flying 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 associate party london. earlier this sunday the u.k. reduced its national threat level from critical to severe that means that attack is now not four to be imminent although it is still highly likely we spoke to journalist and political commentator martin some notes 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 polls 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 or look at everything that goes with these one presumes from the if they produce the terror threat than they 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 that living with the threat of terrorism is just something londoners have to accept. you won't succeed but you want to fight us we will be coward by terrorists. you will see over the next few days i mean chris number of. across.

the attempts to make countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together . 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 to pyongyang's nuclear test this month although the harsh original draft prepared by the u.s. was renegotiated nor to seal that vote washington hand 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 riginal 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 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 what 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 her own 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 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 some diplomacy and then more threats of military force we don't know what the next step is going to be could be that 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 friday morning to the south korean military the projectile reached an altitude of seven hundred seventy kilometers and traveled almost five times that distance before falling into the ocean just like the test carried out a few weeks ago the missile flew over japan triggering triggering an alert on hokkaido island however not everyone in japan felt threatened by the launch. to be frank i don't feel like japan is their target their target is the u.s. that's why the missile are just passing all the debris i don't think your career will drop missiles directly on us. saying. it's a missile destroyer stand good because we won't have to go to school a leaf and go home we were raised joking around never taking it seriously. well 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 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 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 this month was voiced on cheese day with nationwide strikes on hundreds of rallies protests in paris turned violent with projectiles and flags being thrown. opponents of the labor reforms to say they favor employee is over one limit compensation for unfair dismissal and to reduce the power of unions. reports from

paris. one of the big newspapers here in france and i know my son's christening of 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 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 full time is of an elite high unemployment rate here in front. of the rates in the u.k. and germany but the trade union scale dead set against the changes and they have come out in full force hitting the streets in that sounds 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 this world of trade unions and

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 add traffic controllers even people who watch as comedians in clothes it comes as old that was we've spoken to say that they believe that this represents the likes of the employers in france i know it's the employees take a listen to what they had to say. this lowers anti social because it's. good but in the world of oil supply this law doesn't provide workers with rights to work it doesn't give privileges in both the public and the private sector as we defend the interests of workers what conditions retirement should lead to additional draft or thanks eighteen million workers the majority of french workers will significantly limit their rights to make it easier to find people for when it's not justified seconds. you know. it's about too low which is harmful for us

this would leave us nouvelle to any war guarantees of not to mock one made a bit of a lost weight when he referred to all the people that it was. allowed to remain and then it will be absolutely determined to do this 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 spirit is this movement is necessary it is the response of the french people who are protecting their rights.

because it was used to take science as well and he was all about it later on the looking foolish in their own little bit was this it all pretty simple of city he's only thinking about it for me to put him in the school needed this it made it clear he's also feel that he's going to take the scrutiny little value with you know if. 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 those three he says 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 seven hurricane that so the protest am weak being billed as a showdown between the pro-business president who's come to power to shake down the job market hands in the trade union movement he was the last no but she did not say to the plan for this low voice love story

a mother moment. over the next week. syrian media report that a dozen civilians have been killed in a u.s. led coalition air strike and we're told there is a province we'll have the details after this break. to public well. when the closest project himself. nor middle of the room.

welcome back at least twelve civilians have been killed by a u.s. led coalition air strike in daraa zope province according to syrian media we contacted the u.s. central command for clarification it says the strikes talk did i saw infrastructure . on the sixteenth of september military forces conducted strike. that engaged in. the u.s.

air 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 a. tactic to surround themselves with. isis. make sure make a point to fight in buildings which are occupied by civilians this is their human shield their. aircraft shields 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. in syria well we heard from the director of the think tank. he. doesn't seem to have changed his 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 create an isis or target and then suddenly there's 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 future is highly uncertain antti has been the first to talk to some of the widows of foreign extremists in one iraqi camp where hundreds of being housed the location and their identities is not disclosed for their safety. until you know i was watching a broadcast call that was a vision people church. was saying that i was going to leave it there was a border that i knew god is stronger than addition. to that will probably hear someone cut the budget cuts i was listening to the legal status all of the wives survival 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 of i saw 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 the 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 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 of what mr savage but you are in a terrorist organization so 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 you actually 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. to children have been reunited with their relatives here in russia after being rescued from territory which was

under control in iraq here on r.t. we launched a campaign called bring them home to help the authorities trace the orphans relations. well founded in mosul it's believed the gangsters immediate families were killed in fighting the two traumatized to tell their own stories but it's thought that the boy was rescued from a basement where he hid with his mother two brothers and sister. in a baghdad often age when they arrived two weeks. to. that day. to be a mother. i thought out the door. that. is good. news night to do it all
