in the country's election as the political right enjoys a surge in support. come to the nineteen year old bus divil of youth and students in sochi and thousands of people from around the globe descend on russia's black sea resort town of subject to promote peace dialogue and international solidarity. if you want to end the week here analyse international with me in a day or two around of of the week and top stories of the day welcome to the program syrian government troops have liberated the eastern city of almighty and from islamic states is the latest blow to the terror group which has suffered a string of major defeats in the water one country.

if you talk about a good job at this ready to help you yeah yeah there's a market the bad guys. but the people in the province liberation after three years of ice or brutality doesn't spell the end of the struggle where it went too young to hear the story.

meet sally she's five maybe six will perhaps seven she doesn't know and this market these streets over surviving ice is c.j. of the resort was no mean feat so many perished as a result of starvation sickness by lintz. sally is a survivor she a sister and brother were abandoned by their parents years ago they divorced and left the children to fend for themselves and my only chance to home. who are now almost down the land she spends her days begging stealing playing and surviving no easy lot for them in this life. when from home to home and live in the streets they beg for money to

stay alive inside today's sick poor sally bags alone. former neighbors who knew their family have taken pity on the kids and have looks out for them sally's sister all she has left since her brother died of starvation we found the older girl at the end of this gloomy bullet riddled carville is a room with broken windows in it leaves a young girl with only flies bloodstain mattresses for company. about a month ago sagitta who doesn't remember her age was brought in with a head injury when she fell she damaged an implant that siphons away the fluid different people tell different versions some say the full was accidental others attempted suicide but the fluids keep building and there will be consequences she

will lose her sight hearing and the ability to swallow the pressure on her brain is grow him she'll find new cures indeed as order as we were filming a nice a shell landed just a few hundred meters away sagitta needs to get to damascus to survive but lacking identification relatives and trapped in a war zone it's difficult to see how that's possible sagitta doesn't get so many visitors but there is one vigil person who always makes a smile that. if left alone sagitta begins to scream and cry she needs people the story has spread and good samaritans do show up. that honor and everything my friend and i

can do we will do for her everything right up to the moment when she stands up. and can see bushra who's. disabled is not really sure middle class she's poor but a kind heart goes a long long way. there. are little. the reasons for optimism. suffering has touched a chord action is being taken to get the girls out of bed as or but for now the really have aside from promises and beauty is each other or i guess. from good as or syria. iraqi government forces have reportedly launched an operation against the kurdish city of kirkuk in the north of the country there are expired mr high there are about the order that his forces quote impose security

there on mcdyess on sunday the army began moving in the direction of nearby old fields in an airbase held by kurdish peshmerga forces the governor of kirkuk has called on the city's residents to come out onto the streets and defend the land tensions have spiked in the region after the kurds voted for independence from iraq at the end of september washington has urged both sides to avoid escalations and says it supports a unified iraq. but. the leader of the right wing people's party has claimed victory in all spheres of legislative election paving the way for him to become the country's chancellor sebastian coe is set to become the easy unger's leader at just thirty one years of age. we did not just run to win the election we did so to bring austria back to the top today's not a day of triumph over others but is the day the austrian population gave us their confidence to bring about

a new type of political culture meanwhile the leader of the nastiness anti migrant freedom party which is projected to finish in second place has hailed their success let's take these shows what we have achieved in recent years dear friends today we be clear in the political landscape policy there has more now on the outcome of the election. we now are hearing the final results with some. people's party coming in a few first position the second position has been taken by the freedom party a right wing party as was widely predicted before these elections and in the third position going to the social democrats now congratulations have started coming from across the european union for sebastian cook's he has thanked his supporters he has also said that he has pursued a goal and made the impossible possible as far as the leader of the freedom party he has said that this is a great success for his party and then we've also heard from chancellor who says

that the tosk of his party for the next five years for the social democrats is not to strengthen confidence in social democracy of course now it tension turns towards who will form this new coalition government and in this respect sebastian coats has left the field open he's given no indication with he will move forward but there is a lot of speculation on the ground here that he could form a right wing alliance with the freedom party and indeed if he does this it will be part and parcel of a trend that we're witnessing across europe that sees voters voting for more white parties. was. was viva the birth of course a review of if you do you. expect

to. go back over the work you currently are in the to. her now celebrations it's about stay and campaign headquarters have of course already begun and will continue to contrast that with. sense of disappointment that is being felt by the social democrats. we had from several analysts about the results of the election they told us that with curtis chancellor we cannot expect to see significant changes in the country's policies towards migrants he was still one who organized together with countries like america donor serbia and slovenia that this route for illegal migrants became closed and since then also. the number of migrants decreased very much and. he will not only be able but he

proved already that he will be able to do something actually the whole political landscape in austria shifted to the right like to think through thousand and fifteen that was the big. refugee well come. home and after that people found out that is much actually not such a good deal that lets so many people which often are undocumented into the country this created a lot of problems up to now in. austria germany and to establish. a new government this is likely to get close to getting close to the eastern neighbors. in another of the week's top stories the president of catalonia signed an independence declaration on tuesday but then suspended it for several weeks saying he wants to hold negotiations with madrid in the prompt at the spanish prime minister to demand clarification on the region's position. we ask for

a mandate to declare catalonia an independent state. with all due respect i ask parliament to suspend the declaration of independence so that in the coming weeks we can undertake a dialogue with a good deal for a moment. we formally require the council on government to confirm if it has declared independence of catalonia after the deliberate confusion created over whether it has come into effect meanwhile people in catalonia have been left frustrated by the confusion many were visibly affected while listening to the presidency and deeply disappointed at the end. but it is given the cutline president until monday to state clearly his position it says he has three days after that to drop the declaration it's made reporting from barcelona for us this week was honest assia took an hour. was

was you could see. through their reach it was that. it is necessary to show rebellion i do not know if and dependence is the solution but it demonstrates this half of the population is tied up with this independence will hurt both spayed and catalonia it took many years to make the country whole and to divide it just like that is absurd this particular where there are screens being set up where no doubt this area is going to be like people in the hours to come caring to listen to this crucial beach the problem is right there and we do know that because when leaders in their meeting with parliamentarians in leave had in the preparation of what is going to happen and people here despite this being a pro independence gathering really there is no certainty as of right now what

exactly he's going to say. was. a little sooner than usual. and he said yes if you want to see. how. it again later millions i think you should have declared independence because now he says he wants done like a good morning and has asked the spanish government like seventeen times and every time the doors have been closed to you so i believe today he would finally declare a singleton i'm a bit disappointed he stated to. take the steps that everybody wanted. but catalonia has struck in again and we've wanted independence. i want independence i don't want anything to do with spain my ancestors wanted it who are

forced to be spanish if i ever can say that my nationality is cattle and i'll be very happy. for the iconic bunch of us who are marcello not possible to libya right now and thousands of people if you can be covered marching from that direction towards this where this is that. what all of these people are coming out to speak in support of the think that's love with me because you know. the leader of violating the law if you call when. the u.s. has announced is withdrawing from unesco that's the united nations educational scientific and cultural organization the state department said the decision was taken due to concerns over mounting u.s.

arist and needs of fundamental reform and unesco alleged anti israel bias washington still owes overhaul five billion dollars to the organization that's five times more than all other member states combined when pressed on whether america would pay up the state department was reluctant to want. is it fair to say that it's to discourage discretion is no longer trying to find a way. rational vision on what i think we've made our determination and that is to pull out of us that this time or other words they're never going to get their money i. mean less and less they will formally rejoin. that. meanwhile israel has followed america's lead with prime minister benjamin netanyahu not saying his country is quitting us go as well in trying to sixteen israel suspended his cooperation with unesco after it adopted resolutions which ignored jewish ties to a key holy site in jerusalem the resolutions also criticized israeli policies on

other sacred places in jerusalem and the west bank netanyahu called the us me this week a brave and moral decision because you know sco has become a quote a theater of the absurd which distorts history journalist max blumenthal told us that the pro israel lobby in washington was ultimately responsible for the decision . this goes back all the way to twenty eleven and congress withheld funding for you nasco because you nasco allowed the palestinian authority membership and congress is very very easily influenced by the pro israel lobby whereas traditionally the state department and the u.s. mission at the u.n. have not been so this is the first time we've really seen the state department kind of get in line with the congressional elements that are funded by pro pro israel lobby and easily influenced by it and i think this really reflects the weakness of the trumpet ministration. the well festival of students has opened in russia's

black sea resort of sochi cultural event is expected to attract over twenty thousand visitors from around the world there are some of the highlights from the opening ceremony. welcome to the nineteenth world festival of youth and students in sochi. as you can see behind me the opening ceremonies of the bastable have already begun the. performances that we've seen in technology human progress and development many people here all of them very excited. for us. such a bit of excitement we've had many concerts on this square here behind me as well of course as the grand opening ceremony which set that report from culminating in

a pretty amazing forward to splay with fountains going off in the square here as well as managed to finally get out of that quite loud and noisy excited crowd to join us here in the square as well tell us a bit more about what was going on inside and of course this is your first time in russia but not your first thought are you first of all how is it compared so far while i mean what a ceremony i mean that was something special now i attended the two thousand and thirteen festival in quito ecuador totally different experience and nothing like this i was not prepared for what i saw in that auditorium that was that was a tremendous performance i mean the music dance and the audience i mean the audience was just on the edge of their seat i saw people bursting into tears at. all of a numerous times people were just very emotionally moved by the ceremony it was quite powerful and you see so many young people just a sea of young people in there are there yellow jackets there the uniform for the festival all kind of moving as one body there listening to the performances seeing

it was something special twenty thousand people from a hundred fifty different countries certainly set so i believe a bit of a record for something for the spectrum of arrivals coming want to speak to some of those people earlier to get some of their emotions and thoughts on their experience so far let's take a listen i came from the middle east from sri lanka we have from i joined the marine a lot of countries as you know more than one hundred fifty countries a lot of cultures a lot of people excited to do people youngsters a great opportunity to come and meet dance one get to know you all around the world there's like a sense of that the possibility of food right at world a world with more social justice seem possible and here we can see that we can meet people from every country that can prove their experiences what they are doing in their country. and that's what we came to do and it's really great of course as well as a chance to to bond to network to meet new people it's also

a chance for young people of all over the world to discuss and debate key global ideas that kaleb well yes i mean a real emphasis on technology and scientific research that seemed to be a major theme in the presentations in the videos that were shown in the song and dance performances there seem to be this emphasis on the idea that if we can develop and if we can raise the standard of living around the world and get people out of poverty and out of the conditions that drive them toward drugs and terrorism we can raise the standard of living around the world we can have a more peaceful and interconnected world where people are trading with each other doing business getting along and just kind of building a better life for humanity a very clear message but it's one that you just couldn't disagree with and that was of course a key tenant of a lot of the putin speech as well let's just listen briefly to what the russian president had to say. was that seventy years ago the first festival was held back then young men and women were brought together by the belief that sincerity and kindness could break the ice of mistrust they believed it would help to release the

world from injustice from wars and conflicts they prove that barriers are powerless in the face of real friendship. many people here young eighteen to thirty five but some are a little bit older perhaps some were actually in attendance but first of all in moscow nineteen fifty seven they came from very far away place to see it and they've returned to russia this time around to relive some of those emotions let's take a look at well that story. the up of the old rule because rule thirty thousand young people get very. cool for the festival and two of the hundred and fourteen the delegations thirty thousand people from one hundred and fourteen. countering the war. or.

peace and friendship. live. this is somebody you might recognize lady we used to call. you must imaging. powers and of people here. in the fancy people i cannot believe to be. your slave to live. microsurgery not fluid. right through our century. we'll be sitting next to you first of all live. and all that our ideals with people you are if you.

only. have experience a little bit more open minded i've seen and heard him better than. me. ninety unforgettable you have the days. new songs interesting in. the spirit even though you're picky i do yes i'm out on the it's no good. as the investigations into russia's alleged meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election continue another new accusation of foul play has been made this time that moscow used the poca mungo granted reality game to try and influence focus. a c.n.n. investigation shows russia's propaganda attack on the u.s. went beyond using fake accounts and its own facebook and twitter post announcing

a contest on go directing gamers to visit locations were alleged police brutality took place russian agents are accused of posing online as part of the black lives matter movement and trying to exacerbate racial tensions however now a time has been made to explain how that might have affected the election the claim has been marked both online and off. and update now on the developing story from the u.s. at least seven people have been hurt in the blast and already in the state of louisiana some of the injuries are believed to be life threatening one person has

been reported missing the cause of the explosion is unclear at the moment and it's not known if it has led to an oil spill or not and we will of course bring you an update as soon as we have more information but we've got more programs coming up next and kevin owen will be here at the top of the hour. what we want is to put an end to nuclear testing and then to move towards a world free of nuclear weapons and to do that we have to bring countries who seek all who out of this ambition to understand that their national security doesn't depend on the possession of nuclear weapons.

my. goal. was a bit of cut a lot of b.s. to study well at the kind of mushy finality and i don't want to let the your talk about how much more i'd let her be honest and a half it shall get a letter i learned to whom i had that that's not to be a story. so it's all so much money so it. was before this was useful to you my with the fee sure he doesn't feel that. they've been released and until we documented sentencing we don't want to do with it if ya

move left for us with your friend just obviously i've told you. my land will have my yeah i'm going to get that piece of the popular image walk not have you sit up yes it's b.s. and. the bomb but don't tell except that i wish i had that would be when i say that i love the idea i give much thought to whom and much more outlet have you done with an a ha. i don't mean. but there's a little how do you have the thought has the you. have a better the comfy image that i know if i can i'll let me off well i know how that the jets are looking to us and i'm happy i will sort it out then said. can was off with. me for the better good of the whole to. be be the measure

of the law another bit of confusion with. the. of us of all you know was a. little on the soul of the. a story on the top of. the movie. and also the wizard behind the move the multiple injuries among kind enough to sort them to keep sophie home most of the show's we'll hear mars on the. phone if you book a place to put some food before the sea so you. are with them just. before to be a very long before the. if you.

saw how the this is something to host them. you can hear him dive. in and want to know what happened on the stomach just. jump you know just when it comes on and then when it does you. know it's going to be something that you have you know our lives through you will see not only the people in the room with us what. you don't. get seven hours of feel. or any credit for yes that's. the size of the samyn they are all fuzzy so can the federal hide it at your mom pace but make it to seventy on your own clothes so that it does i don't do it look

let's sit with us at odd ticket and that if that line i am hiding and you know. the rules for them to begin little do i know about all the. kids that money out of it and. the kids. when you're a thousand and must. be a story. today coming up you know what i. saw as a kind. of sorrow it was easy to look after. going to be people the old look to the give to the physio in the normal problems that often would have been to go off. at them or be the only one could get a better. more me and. my.

gentleness and i tended to talk to an awful spanish put their religion on. a day no. matter to me. and he said we have to feed off because if you're mine all of them live up to both of us remember she was going to mitchell. not to. excess you know what i'm started by the way he's. mine field school based he said if you come to me seven months. and. come on so found i was something like and the thought of how does she have any but its own fault so on and so on mars that if unless it was so hard to see if you only saw it in the first place how far that can sense that profound truth will come out of some sort or no i don't believe it just sort of this is not the setting many said nothing self but you know thought it was not about some funny not funny one

the other was bought some thought ultimately l.s.d. or a war i make a profit show a profit with the show. i don't know about a lot who also look when the mound be walked on. a minute ago that got us it was the clear. you can have someone to call. again when actually the full. story oblivious to the other clue of the.

person whom you are the key to to say when yet even me does a good one is a new mother and dad beat and because it. is looking more awesome to be mine. and follow not yet all those. who think i'm a. bit of it. was.

this that that is not. oh and. our. costs too much as if this year. away he. oh he was tiny how does one know he. didn't and much more not yet how do you become . and that was. not about time not that. not that i think. that's a human not to. say out a. poem as i do not involve the home. on

the. product and. so i have not only. the most to somebody. who'll. do nothing for me i'm. not on the body a studio by then. a subtle enough. to be a bit of truth of the moment illinois hello. hello. hello hello hello hello. but if in the past. we had me. going on. in there but that's not the number.

he needed. here. they. do not have the fan. i don't. see. not that i didn't. see more. didn't. buy them coffee. by then.

i most certainly hate and it's got on the whole. in the. middle of. the uk and said. i'm sure for just buried my government for. the blues it. was at the ship of

all. i thought of rob i thought of. o'connell told what he had to do now the book at the. bottom of bullshit email. she. was off. there for one year to definite how. i don't know what i want to. know that i don't know why he. doesn't always show she stood up and become to be in the studies to be able to and i'm tempted. to believe that he was not lazy on the decide this is. the easy answer to the. special. meaning of the ship to see.

the became learned in the engine when he on the body is sweaty and mocked so when she sees. the ship phones now he can feel. the computers are a bit off of socialism in the coming. months i welcome fish. him about that but what how that will soften the shot up. about it when the cigar fish just rolled off into that. so the highest sort of a film about our going to the cut off of. the sun somebody know i'm always on par. with. the sort of help there.

still exist. ricos treated as one. hundred point zero three cool. and i knew a lot of seats and they could be seen on the island is controlled by the us government and some puerto ricans crave independence. either way. there are. still

many do wish to join the us hundreds more leave every day. with the country at a crossroads for anger of the island is on the rise. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate

every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would really literally send a be a pro and they don't want to pay it so the waiting decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they won't have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger the movies to model this. delayed to know. as i do not.

the mom now the account and i see most of this about cuts now down in the just that of the city i couldn't. aside. from. today because. i'm not sure. the months and years on the list my name in this. bill had got.

me on the. menu to know i. mean. i did the. walk and it had. the. think it's not like on the afghan men they have not and the. same last month and i

thought all females. i had couple of things had to find the. public with. this not none of them says it's an open mind that's given us this intel feel. sad as the end of the finished shift.

in the lead if the father of the body of should die in the month of may the so forty. and us i mean the. few months of good. month of the middle class this is. not meant to. get out most of us familiar with a lot of us. in the. you

know how full the i'll see me. has. to do fall in the. north. was a house. on the. other the stuff on the ship it does among the. good it. oh. hey it's hard to let that. shit out of that woman. had not. been issued in this truck and. i. couldn't not

know you. got a better. bill a young. age deep. in the saddle because. mr know the i've been there not because i live here in the now that she could mount you know could a man no no no no could manage to shawn disembodied voice comes. along and then as long. except the moment. of in bed because look.

at the. model see how they also see the ha you'll see. how didn't live on that had been the kind of suit. one piece of it out but i had to mostly found something and said there. were no. good olives so lost on helen of how did this get along to stuff my in. this. forum. to find another i think you better. know nothing are not enough and i want to feel good about it and. then i did it. better to. do

it better. and i'd be standing behind me from enough to the welcome view what is she going to hide and almost. i'm. feeling it is the job you had the most lamentable i'd give you what the sat in a slack set off all this give me that i could do it that i could have but he walk out of my a little flat don't. know how and then the bit about the left that i'm in the. us not the feet. on the. horn i'm a bit of nothing but i. allowed me. to hunt them up. at . least some of the one hundred a month. was going to live there you. have

a lot of come the. play them it was a pill for nothing. but how was it something. like that. something that a hand. used to stay out. of the bit of. labor i want to live with and to hide it than me i know not from whom but at the mouth that she was i've been a most of member feedback thinking a lot of. that if i wouldn't have thought it was shit cuz i thought of me when you must have been when i. you know it does are we going to be a. little messy i'm not. going to be an infinitude boss. comes. out of the.

talk to be a yes you want to present system how much you want to show. you how do. you think. this has done even if it was not the only reason should have been looked into the negative feeling he had that it does have. these. are the stuff you've. already. done on the bus in the scene so. how wouldn't a listen if i could but it doesn't mean. that good enough. bob i'm allowed to say i will go ahead and the best not to be going out to show he's little enough. to know about. i'm going to look at. that in the new york to you know what does it mean. when you. talk.

to. me let's have a look at the not is not bad enough. to see the. hide. a lot of the. coming. into how do you look ma the punch that even though seems to be in the lead had to get the support of. the

koofi franklin allisat in a moment this film that will. send the chemo feedback. we can in this way and that is the whole thought of me because he is back at me now and what i can hit the metal welcome. him. but. i don't. have that but i'm going with this economy. that is going. to get ahead was the bigger. ha ha ha. ha. because simply assume. if it has a little it's

a little bit you know. a bit of the emotion if you have a love if you gave me. one hundred of those in the moment that the movie that you love the mambo back pedal and the rest of the was how lucky i knew who to bit young a shot to come up today that there's a bloke one kid as obviously got stuck on the money not. below listening. to him can you behave well economically. who are death us.

that are. the. thank you for new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected 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. what we want is to put an end to nuclear testing and then to move towards

a world free of nuclear weapons and to do that we have to bring countries who seek or who are of this ambition to understand that their national security doesn't depend on the possession of nuclear weapons. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to be. too great to be for us this is what before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested in the waters in the how. question. is still exist. ricos treated as one. hundred point zero three cool. and i knew

a lot of. the island is controlled by the us government and some puerto ricans crave independence. either. still many do wish to join the us hundreds more leave every day. beings. with the country at a crossroads for anger of the island is on the rise. you

. know no. there are guys. like. austrian vote right to elect the world's youngest leader then while in and him a gratian party make significant gains to. also the headline this morning the u.s. increases next year's africa aid budget to over five billion dollars is somalia real from its worst ever terrorist attack. the. day just three hours now until madrid is deadline for leaders there to state whether or not they're really declaring independence.

moscow good morning from me kevin i would then it's eight am here now we're watching r t international the first today austrian voters have made a clear shift to the right course to put the world's youngest leader in office people party leaders sebastian kurtz is poised to become chancellor it seems also his sense a right group secured thirty one percent of the vote while the right wing anti immigrant freedom party is in line to become second with over twenty seven percent its leader christian struck jubilant as the winner at times as the first results were announced both parties stand for tightening austria's borders and toughening up on immigration both leaders gave similar promise. to deal with it. the white today is our chance to take over the reins in this country and make sure there's a real change in austria. when someone says the commie more of the same and saying no we insist on a much needed and lasting change so the big question in austria now is what kind of

coalition will be formed to make the next government report from vienna for. well it tension turns towards who will form this new coalition government and in this respect sebastian kurtz has left the field open he's given no indication with whom he will move forward but there is a lot of speculation on the ground here that he could form a right wing alliance with the freedom party and indeed if he does this it would be part and parcel of a trend that we're witnessing across europe that sees voters voting for more white parties was viva the force a review of it did you see that perfectly i. i oh yes i says that i think. that i still find.

out celebrations and sebastien kurtz's campaign headquarters have a full circle with the gun and no doubt will continue to contrast that with the sense of disappointment that is being felt by the social democrats. we talk to the president of the austrian institute for european policy and security of vienna who believes that sebastian kunz his tough stance on immigration that indeed won him the election he was responsible already for closing as we call it to western balkan the route that led from turkey. up to germany to scandinavia he was still one who organized that this route for illegal migrants became closed and since then also the number of migrants decreased very much and in so far he will not only be able but he proved already that he will be able to do something

because this also was more or less to cornerstone of a politics that was overtaken also by european union and even by until america even if she did not like this very much at the beginning. the toll from somalia's worst of a terror attack still being counted it's now known that more than two hundred seventy have died and hundreds more injured in twin blasts in the capital on saturday emergency workers are still pulling bodies from the ruins there and say the true number of casualties may never be know because of the intense heat generated by the national truck bomb blast.

it's not just eastern africa suffering from the threat for extremists it's a problem occurring continent wide because of that no president has been increasing the u.s. presence there a great expense to american taxpayers is miguel francis and the argo. you remember trump's america first tagline right well the u.s. tax dollars are currently being spent on a military intervention in africa one thousand five hundred troops are now stationed in the region so what are they fighting in africa terrorists ok and how's that going well apparently not all that well at least not in niger the growing foreign military footprint in the country appears to have set a local backlash against both the government and western countries and it gets

worse for u.s. soldiers were killed as they tried to advance deeper into the african islamist territory niger by the way happens to be the country housing the largest contingent of u.s. troops in africa there were just a hundred of them in two thousand and thirteen under obama administration but now with american first it's eight hundred u.s. troops so a pretty broad mission with the government of news year in order to increase their capability to stand alone and to prosecute lone extremists in the region and according to a white house document as of june this year there are now three hundred u.s. troops in cameroon that's an additional whole fifteen more troops since december twenty sixth seen now that's a serious increase that no doubt requires a serious budget right no way you may say but oh yes just this wednesday the acting assistant secretary for african affairs asked for five point two billion tax dollars as it's the required budget for african assistance in twenty eighteen ok

but why so much money because of the size of africa because the time and space and the distances when it comes especially crisis response type activities we need access in various places on the continent five point two billion dollars that's a lot of money for putting america first. so an army is clearing the remaining pockets of terrorists and there is old province having no repelled most of still from the. you've made the it had become the terror group's defacto capital public largely deserted its former bastion in racket these are a big channel money to get rare access to see what life is like now in may dean seems many residents fled before i saw was finally driven out describing how they risked their lives scraping after losing everything to the islamists who seized their homes and belongings as well as imposing their brutal rule in eastern syria. guided alemao i was jailed for six days for smoking a cigarette

a rest would be made if they even smelt tobacco they also had a so-called morality police known as the hizbollah if i shaved they would jail me for that. would lose arrested twice because of the length of my beard they would torture me cut me and feed me rotten fruit on another occasion of i was jailed for wearing trousers instead of the jalebi in their garments. similar stories are heard across syria has seen residents themselves start to fight back to in places in the city of cell a mere women there took up arms and r.t. followed their battalions efforts.

when i vented. now the headlines this morning iraqi government forces have reportedly launched an operation against the kurdish shelves if you cook in the north the prime minister said his forces were quote imposed security there at midnight sunday the army began moving in oil fields on the base held by kurdish peshmerga forces the governor of

cook called on residents to come out and defend the tensions of spike this is kurds voted for independence from iraq in the september washington's urged both sides with the u.s. and says it supports a unified iraq. big news like to come out of spain today either which way just three hours to go for the spanish region of catalonia to officially stay whether or not it's declaring independence the deadline was set by the government in madrid after a controversial referendum a fortnight ago showed voters wanted secession the catalan president is facing intense pressure from both sides. in c. steer. we have decided to insist and insist again on the need for mr bridger mount to determine in an affirmative clear and comprehensible way that the republic must be proclaimed and it must be proclaimed on monday but in other developments related to this rally is still being staged in the region this one's in the cattle city of the weekend so hundreds they're pushing for local leaders to make good on their

promise to declare the. european commission president earlier warned that if catalonia does break away it was set a troubling president those cats alone you becomes independent others will do the same and i wouldn't like that and wouldn't like to see some ninety eight states in the european union it's difficult. to start. but nathan gill spoke to see says the e.u. only supports whatever's in his own interest. i think it's been very disappointing the reaction from the e.u. especially. and what we've really seen here is the reality of these projects. if it pleases them they will accept independence but it's you know we saw in two thousand and eight when kosovo declared unilateral independence. said that this was an illegal move but the e.u. wanted it to happen politically so they got behind in the push to make sure but it

happened here they've said oh it's going to be too hard for us to control it and you with ninety eight hundred different governments you know that we have to work with the council of ministers and the council but quite frankly that is not a good enough reason when ultimately do you believe in the determination of people and the rights of people to decide their own determination for their own future. washington is this is not giving up on diplomacy is the brinkmanship over north korea continues secretary of state rex tillerson told c.n.n. that he'll continue negotiations until quote the first bomb. is made it clear to me to continue by diplomatic efforts which we are and we will can stop told others also diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops to listen this comment comes amid rumors that his relationship with the president has taken a hit earlier this month from tweeted that his chief envoy was wasting his time

trying to go with north korea to listen he says so that trump supports his diplomatic maneuvers and is not pushing for war although the president has been repeatedly making it clear that a military option is on the table. we are totally prepared for the second option totally destroy north korea that's called the military. fury military like the world has never see devastating. devastating never see the rocket. is on a suicide mission for. rocket. it's all over the place suicide mission for him so he has been very. a long time that's called the military. it will be handled we handle everything thank you but trump stuff told his resonating with his republican party a recent poll said forty six percent of members support a preemptive strike on north korea while forty one percent are against it is still

north korea is planning another missile test maybe this week in response to joint drills conducted between the u.s. and south korea and if i did today soften coaches later this hour in a few minutes we got expert opinion as to why a fresh approach is needed over north korea. now more than ever we have a big race for the start of a new arms race again i think we've reached a sanction since the problem started in the in the korean peninsula and despite incremental sanction north korea has gone from one test and talk about nuclear tests every three years to to test a year in two thousand and sixteen and then one the huge one that has gone beyond anything thinkable that they were able to do and it's what does it tell us i mean if you take a layman on the street is telling your look the sanctions seem to not be working from a layman's perspective so if we incrementally pushing sanction and that sanctions

seem to go incrementally with what north korea is doing i think we have to probably find a way in what often it's call in diplomacy quest of diplomacy where we have. a way to put pressure but at the same time keep the door open for discussion and so that we move towards a solution that is sustainable and this is what we're hoping for beyond the words. they said with this is morning say fifteen our moscow time this monday coming up americans prescription addiction is saying drug firms drug to the courts in one state we'll tell you about that and the rest needs.

what we want is to put an end to nuclear testing and then to move towards a world free of nuclear weapons and to do that we have to bring countries who seek all who out of this ambition to understand that their national security doesn't depend on the full session often with a weapon. manufactured to send to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final. the one percent. we can all middle of the room see.

the real news. it's exactly seventeen minutes past eight moscow top story next that more than a dozen pharmaceutical firms have been taken to court in the u.s. state of michigan over marketing which accuses the worsening people's opiate addiction. you know if you would industry has taken a page out of big tobacco as playbook they utilize misleading information marketing campaigns and studies to convince the public that their product was safe we believe that the human cost and the financial cost to the counties is significant we think that some compensation is necessary for bad behavior in all over one hundred thousand people in the u.s. died from overdosing on prescription opioids between one thousand nine hundred nine and twenty fifteen last year alone there were eight hundred seventeen drug related

deaths in michigan's wayne county a sixty one percent increase from the year before while deaths in oakland county increased more than two hundred percent in recent years what opioids pain medication is called oxy kodo is used to treat moderate to severe discomfort it's highly addictive and is the same potential as morphine abuse along with misuse can lead to fatal overdoses. for do has made billions of dollars by fueling washington's. these drug companies knew that what they were saying was wrong produces more please see you all you know you're doing well we've been in touch the number of drugs firms t.v. industries for a start made it clear that they closely comply with all current federal and state regulations when it comes to the medications in question also got a response from per do farm they deny all the allegations they say they're looking forward to defending their position drug firms of face pressure before over. have been fined hundreds of millions of dollars in the past indeed

a former spokesman for the white house national drug policy office thinks it's the combined fault of not only the companies but also the doctors who overprescribe. the companies have contributed a lot in terms of deception in terms of letting people think that these are only pain killers when they are addiction producers but it's not only on the marketers it's not only on the companies it's also on the doctors the doctors have overprescribed in many cases about a quarter of the usage of opiates abuse and deaths are because doctors have overprescribed and not paid any attention to where the drugs are going so a lot has to be done there but you know this isn't just a doctor's problem it isn't just a marketing problem it isn't just a manufacturers problem it's a national production problem and a worldwide production problem. story now if you the world festival of youth and students is of the way of russia's black sea resort of sochi we clone

cultural events expects to attract over twenty thousand visitors rather will great fireworks display the last night as you can see there is some good some from the opening ceremony. when we come to the nineteenth the world festival of youth and students in sochi. what he's done in whole can start in sochi for us. but the excitement we've had many this square here behind me as well of course is the grand opening ceremony which report from culminating in a pretty amazing forward to splay with fountains going off in the square here as well as managed to finally get out of that quite loud i'm always excited crowd to join us here in the square as well tell us a bit more about what was going on inside and of course this is your first time in russia but not your first time at

a youth festival how is it compared so far wow i mean what a ceremony i mean that was something special now i attended the two thousand and thirteen festival in quito ecuador totally different experience nothing like this i was not prepared for what i saw in that auditorium that was that was a tremendous performance i mean the music dance and the audience i mean the audience was just on the edge of their seat i saw people bursting into tears at. all of a numerous times people were just very emotionally moved by the ceremony it was quite powerful you see so many young people just a sea of young people in there or their yellow jackets there the uniform for the festival all kind of moving as one body there listening to the performances seeing it was something special twenty thousand people from a hundred fifty different countries certainly set so i believe a bit of a record for something for the spectrum of arrivals coming want to speak to some of those people or to get some of their emotions and thoughts on their experience so far let's take a listen again from the middle east from sri lanka we have from my jim de mint

a lot of countries as you know more than one hundred fifty countries a lot of cultures a lot of people excited to meet the new people youngsters a great opportunity to come and meet us want to get to know you all around the world there's like a sense of that possibility a food writer world a world with more social justice is seen possible and here we can see that it is since we can meet people from every country that can prove their experiences what they are doing in their country. and that's what we came to do and it's really great of course as well as a chance to bond to network to meet new people it's also a chance for young people of all over the world to discuss and debate key global ideas that kaleb well yes i mean a real emphasis on technology and scientific research that seemed to be a major theme in the presentations in the videos that were shown in the song and dance performances there seem to be this emphasis on the idea that if we can develop and if we can raise the standard of living around the world and get people

out of poverty and out of the conditions that drive them toward drugs and terrorism we can raise the standard of living around the world we can have a more peaceful and interconnected world where people are trading with each other doing business getting along and just kind of building a better life for humanity a very clear message but it's one that you just couldn't disagree with and that was of course a key tenant of a lot of the putin speech as well let's just take a listen briefly to what the russian president had to say. you know as a suspect seventy years ago the first festival was held back then young men and women were brought together by the belief that sincerity and kindness could break the ice of mistrust they believe it would help to release the world from injustice from wars and conflicts what they proved the barriers of powerless in the face of real friendship. many people here young eighteen to thirty five but some up a little bit older bob some were actually in attendance well first of all in moscow in nineteen fifty seven they came from

a very followed place to see it and they've returned to russia this time around to relive some of those emotions let's take a look at well that human story. the old rule because rule thirty thousand young people get the. most go for the festival and two of the hundred and fourteen there are a geisha and thirty thousand people from one hundred and fourteen. this is somebody you might recognize. you must.

be. my first century. we'll be seeing. that. we. had. experience of that. idea and. nine. days.

in. the spirit. i do you. know what it. was. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington the 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 . we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but new forced signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people of seeing stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would read literally send

a v.a. growth and they don't want to pay it so the waiting in decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger the movie is to model is. delayed and i hope you die . when the old maid gets manufactured consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. of the time we can all middle of the room signals. to leave room for the real new. world.

welcome to sophie and co i'm sophie shevardnadze as. we'll move deeper into a nuclear crisis on the korean peninsula other voices calling for total prohibit nukes bring louder. but can't humanity really give up nuclear weapons well i ask less seen as irbil executive secretary of the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty organization and participant of the discussion. of the world is gripped by the saber rattling crisis in north korea over its missile tests the ghost of nuclear wars bringing the idea of nonproliferation a nuclear is the road to work together with you when i see a treaty banning the weapons sponsor getting in the idea of a nuclear free world ever become reality or the like in a way to deter and make the world

a more dangerous place than it is now and is there any other way to control the dangers of nuclear weapons. as in a servo welcome to the show it's great to have you on our program so president trump has recently reached a rate that only one thing will work with north korea hinting at a military option and we've heard this many times before from u.s. officials is it just tough talking or is a preemptive strike really on the cards. first of all thank you for for having us on to do we view. what i've often said is out of time wolf you know high tensions sometimes words goal beyond thoughts i'm just hoping that this is the case right now and that if anything will be done to give the all stakeholders within the international community framework to fund a solution in the problem the issue in the d.p.

. but why do you think that united states has. attempted and attempts to force on the un into something by fear i mean this guy's done to be don't seem to be easily scared at all. i mean we've nuclear weapon or the possibility of war i mean it's always scary i mean from the civil society view and inform the international community as what. the tory that goes towards this can be scaled and in fact but as i say once again my hope is that you know we leave in the difficult tensions pretty high and difficult moments and work some time goes beyond all thoughts and then i'm hoping that things would settle it one way or another and that's what we all are trying to push for you know we're all hoping things will settle but we have u.s.

army chief of staff general mark milley who took it one further and he's saying that north korea issue has a deadline that decisions will be made soon what does that mean i mean this is saying that we're actually heading towards or about how much time do we have here. no i think i'm just my hope is that things so far have been. set of straw the united mission framework and the security council think the security council has gone beyond the words that we hearing and then always fun solution to the problem in the deep it is true that there is no definite solution but if we must to get the d.p. to stop testing i mean all kind of tests i mean both nuclear testing and then missile testing i think that's going to be a good start to a solution in the region so international community has urged north korea many

times before to stop its nuclear tests but it doesn't really seem to bow to pressure neither u.n. resolutions door sanctions work in your opinion i mean what else can be done to make p.r. non stop their nuclear tests. and. i mean that's a question that comes often to say you know what is the solution to the. two people in young problems. we've gone i think we've reached a sanction since the problem started in the in the korean peninsula and despite incremental sanction north korea has gone from one test i'm talk about a nuclear test to see years to test a year in two thousand and sixteen and then one huge one that has gone beyond anything thinkable that they were able to do and it's what does it tells i mean if you take a layman on the street is telling you look the sanctions seem to not be working

from a layman's perspective so if we incrementally pushing sanction and that sanctions seem to go incrementally with what north korea is doing i think we have to probably fund a way in what often it's called in diplomacy quest of diplomacy where we have you know. a way to put fresh air but at the same to keep the door open for discussion and so that we move towards a solution that is sustainable and this is what we're hoping for beyond words so some experts they believe an underground test would be above ground test would be a logical step for north korea to prove success of their nuclear program either is believed wouldn't go for it to the risks what is your take on that. i hope we won't go far enough once for the tests i mean you have to remember that it's the past the history of nuclear tests explodes in india. of bush the done

window in the united states in nevada and beyond that to ask for a stop and a comprehensive test ban treaty from the limit to test ban treaty moving from atmospheric tests to underground testing but then came the city b.t.o. in one thousand nine to six the treaty to a comprehensive test whereby there's no test in the underground or under water so it is my hope and i'm glad you mentioning this that we push towards a comprehensive test ban treaty it's utter into force so that there is no room for testing the india or underground we talk about underground testing we shouldn't take it as something that is acceptable and the most that it takes will be the red light i think every test today is a red line and the red line is we have to get the streets into force so that we leave no room for underground or atmospheric tests or underwater testing and that's

what we pushing for and that's why we have to finish what we started which is finishing the city bt by getting his entree into force a soon as possible so you have posted a motion graphic on twitter which actually shows a simulation of the aftermath of a potential test over the pacific some years or found this video chilling some misleading could you give me am more detailed idea of the consequences of such a tast. yes you are right i did pour some treats a simulation of a possible tests indeed. that was in response of the request of many journalists and experts who were asking us should we have today and that was very tests what would be the consequences what we did we basically simulate the weather forecasts how the nuts want to fix tests could be taken and the isotope be moved with weather

and condition and be spread around same as we did for fukushima when we had difficulty my accident in two thousand and eleven it's the same thing the same type of simulation we put together it is two of that it does cause some concern because we get back people say but this is this is scary i mean there's norse things carry on this map this mup was just an indication on how things can be transported with weather condition around the planet and that's what we did and that's what we put forward in the for the international committee of you know a layman to be able to see as well to being a way to move forward this day in communication so full well that the consequences of the test can tell me they get the consequences. i mean consequence of an atmospheric test will be certainly more damaging than what we've never seen so far with underground testing undergone tests and we talk about you

know joe logical stress and induce a quick that might up and in the event of cracking in the ground that could lead seeps through some radio isotope they come in very minimal quantity or minimal level but if you talk about a loss for the tests you just have to go to kazakhstan and then see what the consequences could be have been to simulate this and then the consequences can be and often very damaging because you talked about and that's one of the. most that it tests and then condition that in the head and in affecting the vitamin more than if they were in the gulf not that i'm justifying that we should do tests on the ground i'm just saying that the consequence in the head for the environment more damaging than what could come on the ground. in the us is to stanchest opponent of north korea's nuclear tests yet it has never ratified the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty how much credibility does

a us hold one it six to prevent others from nuclear testing. it is true you talk about the u.s. not having about the five to comprehensive test ban treaty i mean this is where often courts democracy i mean that's that's a side of democracy that people should take forward i mean a leader can be willing to consider the sea to be to that if the kitchen but if he doesn't want the number it doesn't have the numbers of senate or of the parliament it's difficult for him to pursue his policy as he wishes so this is a situation in the united states having said this the united sit does contribute tremendously to the comprehensive test ban treaty for they've completed that international monitoring system facility on the territory i think there are one or two remaining and we're working towards that and a participating in the technical work of the comprehensive test ban treaty it is my hope that the condition putting the united states into saying that anything that

contributes to the national security thereby in i'm yet to prove that the c t b t is indeed contributing to u.s. national security and i think if we must to do that as we trying of best's would put the united states in the condition of that if the kitchen of the comprehensive test ban treaty so yes ratification on the tray would most likely set a good example for other states including china even iran if those countries join us security will benefit so why aren't they americans ratifying this treaty. why does it remain in country are not to ratify the treaty i think it's not a million dollar question but i mean it's a question and the nonsense that i get some time from i'm in school kids and kids are telling me often but mrs server why don't you bring bring them into a room and then get them to ratify all at the same time and their answer to this

question is often because we tell them. you know they hear from the civil society or from reading that us or china is waiting from us israelis waiting from iran and iran is waiting and so and so forth so what they're. of people who are clear mind this and look bring them all in one room and then get them to sign at the same time so there won't be a problem of what up to five first and who doesn't it so i mean that's probably an idealistic scenario but having said this often said that we have eight countries that all of the responsibility for that to find a city bt and then they should go for it there's no eight hundred pound gorilla or a hundred fifty pound gorilla that eight countries that ratification is necessary for the entry into force of this treaty and we're working closely or i would say pretty closely with some of them and we wish to do with all of them to get this written to force the soonest that we leave no room for nuclear testing. we're going

to take a short break right now and we're back we'll continue discussing international nonproliferation efforts stay with us. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry

i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each day. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. colin is still exist. their egos treated as one those are annoying call only close and harmful seemingly throw them all to throw them along on the board recall as you know when all the little time on your well what is it doesn't decrease another the

island is controlled by the us go to. and some puerto ricans crew even dependents just a little sealed i mean you cannot you know me. either but i mean to sort of i mean we're taking a game where you. still many do wish to join the u.s. hundreds leave every day. with the country at a crossroads anger on the island is on the rise. and are burning. fuel so. no no no.

no we're back with let's say does or book second secretary of the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty organization discussing nuclear weapons and their role in the world today so the truck white house wants to disavow and toughen up the iran deal which actually helped tolt tehran's nuclear weapons program if trump does it what would that mean for nonproliferation. the iran do. was one of the. few if i can put it

this way agreement for nearly a decade in nonproliferation or arms control. it is my hope that everything will be gone by doors to call does work key in that agreement to find a way to pursue it to give the confidence necessary in the international community to move on with other control treaty like to see see the f.m.c. see in the arms control that seek to establish the peaceful environment that this world needs today and that is my hope and. i'm positive that you know there's always solution to be find two issues and then i think the same way it concluded this deal the same way they can find ways to continue it the best way for the international community and or parties to our nuclear weapons to only insurance

that countries like north korea or iran can count on for the safety of their regimes against intervention what can be more solid than a new. i hope that nuclear weapon are not the only shouldn't for countries as you you're asking i think what could be more assuring it's the conducive environment that one could create for people to feel at ease that their security and their national security is not threatened by the neighbors or the international community how do we do that i think that's why multilateral diplomacy exists and that's why we have reason and framework you know asian framework. western framework african framework and then you name it i think we need multilateral and regional diplomacy to be able to put the countries in the position where they feel comfortable that there is no threats

by all means next to them or coming from far and that's what we need and that's why we have multilateral diplomacy for. thames and they were ok with india and pakistan having nuclear weapons right why not north korea why not just admit it and move on with that. i mean why not admitted the north korea's nuclear weapon like india and pakistan and move on with it i think you are asking a pretty difficult question but i mean my answer to that would be. for nonproliferation and we aiming for design money in the end we cannot in the framework of the nonproliferation treaty consider more countries that are coming today with nuclear weapon and the risk that we have in that others will see if this country has managed to do it on the discomfited where why not me and who wants that what we want is to put an end to nuclear testing and then to move towards

a world free of nuclear weapons and to do that we have to bring countries who seek or who of this ambition to understand that the national security doesn't depend on the possession of nuclear weapons and i just want to say if you take a toddler a toddler would want to sit walk sit crawl before he walks if he walks because at crawling it would not have solid legs to work in a sustainable fashion and putting the movement towards a world without nuclear weapons on the same way we need solid ground that include downstream to force of the comprehensive test ban treaty and it legally binding one so will be creating the conditions that are ripe for a world without nuclear weapons cemented up trains of corporal powerhouses depend on having nuclear arsenals policies are made based on having nuclear arsenals nukes provide checks and balances in global politics wouldn't lowing them and getting

gray of them bring more instability make politics a predictable. if. you ask somebody from time a little country. somebody that would not say that having nuclear weapons bring stability because i don't think that some reason why that is nor nuclear weapon then no nuclear weapon are not stable because that is weapon or stable because they aren't a weapon i think we're moving towards bringing peace and stability for this world for display and that's and bringing peace and stability is about also stopping anything that leads to a. race and then achieve design moment and that's what we want and that's what we're working towards and working towards this international community has been for

treaties like the comprehensive test ban treaty the f.m. city the fist in months in a kind of treaty and many other treaties that's come together as we move towards achieving this world that we dreaming for and dreaming dreaming for a world without nuclear weapons and i'm hoping that we'll achieve this in our lifetime and people will not seek nuclear weapon as a means for stability by any means so i think that we have the opportunity to do that because now more than ever we have a big risk for the start of a new arms race again so the nobel prize winners managed to push a treaty on their profit bishan on the nuclear weapons in the un but not the nuclear club members backed it with the us calling the initiative unfit for today's security situation and russia calling it dangerous without the signature self they have no way is this treaty powerless and then what's the point of it.

i would just say you talk about the nuclear the nobel prize a freak i would try and courts what exactly the nobel committee said they said that awarded this nobel prize knowing that it would not achieve the stopping nuclear weapon today but it's a message that they wanted to send to the international community but beyond the messes what we want is to crack the code design them and the practical design one takes into account control treaties that are here the comprehensive test ban treaty being one of them i've used the example off the top i think we have to finish what we started one of the things we started more than twenty years ago is a comprehensive test ban treaty its session all hanging fruit if you come how the world free from nuclear testing how can you achieve a world free from nuclear weapons north korea cannot be testing still and then we

talking about the world free from nuclear weapons north korea like any other countries it's only country that is testing today they must stop this stop nuclear testing stop missile testing and then create the conditions for the international community to see them are spotless and the house we can move towards a world free without the free from nuclear weapons and that's what we seek and that's what we want to achieve so does a comprehensive ban on nuclear tests as well as state nonproliferation make this new here and try mission training redundant i mean we already have a structure in place that controls nuclear weapons resident reasonably well. i mean when the prohibition. on nuclear weapon makes. gives a redundancy to the city bt and b t. i wouldn't tick one versus the other. i

think what we hear from civil society and from the proponent of the prohibition of nuclear weapon is the perceived frustration that they're seeing in what this nor movement towards design a month but a precisely movement towards dissolve money includes down through into force of the comprehensive test ban treaty to create the condition of trust that business is city for countries to come together and then discuss how they can effectively and practically achieve disarmament and this is important when i use the toddler's example i think it might look a little bit funny but i mean the reality is to have something sustainable we have to prepare the ground for it and to prepare the ground for an effective and practical design a month we need to achieve down through into force of the comprehensive test ban treaty and bring many of the arms control treaty that are pending life if we bring them live we create the condition and we have to move on them because if you don't

move on downstream to force of the comprehensive test ban treaty you effectively give the perception that nothing is moving towards nonproliferation and design and that's a risk and that's probably what we facing today and this is why i still have to finish what we started the comprehensive test ban treaty is a norse roots induct mush brightnesses or both thank you very much for being with us today we were talking to you last seen as or about executive secretary of the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty organization at participant of the valdai discussion club about the nuclear crisis on the korean peninsula and whether a world without new is actually possible that's it for at this latest edition of sophie and co i will see you next time on. please.
