tonight we start with breaking news this hour north korea has conducted a ballistic missile test for the first time since september japan says the missile flew for fifteen minutes and came down two hundred kilometers off its coast but did not pass over japanese territory. reports from seoul. it was deep into the night pretty much both koreas were asleep when we found out about what is the latest ballistic missile tests by young yang according to estimates by the japanese military and also the pentagon the missile flew for about one thousand kilometers and landed in the sea of japan without causing any harm initially the location of where it touched down or the time was unclear but then the japanese prime minister's office tweeted that indeed a missile was launched from north korea and it landed somewhere and the exclusive economic zone of japan i'll be putting it mildly if i say that such launches put

governments in the region on high alert cabinet crisis team of the japanese government was immediately summoned as a result of this according to the south korean military their response was a first cision strike missile exercise the us president donald trump was immediately briefed on the situation while the missile was still in the air well it didn't take long for the u.s. leader to come up with reaction to this latest on a missile was launched. a while ago from korea well until you take care of it you have general motion with us and we're going to a discussion on it. it is a situation that we will handle as it is often the case with pyongyang is ballistic missile test the reaction to it from all the international players could be more important than the launch itself so we'll be watching out for that. the

french president tomorrow mccraw on his own a three day tour of africa his trip got off to a pretty difficult start and book enough. run. i'm very. rarely. and where if an ocean is in paris for all to do with the latest old president. for poison told smooth i mean what about cohen's trip to africa started with an attempted attack on french troops on the ground security so was told reporters that a grenade was thrown to military car and although it wasn't hate the mass h. was very clear the president was not very welcomed on the african soil and as anyone not for that he was probably doing the nation that would not tell africans

what to do all of that sounded very positive and very promising but apparently something went wrong because of france's president deep african is what he did and on several occasions first while speaking about trafficking problems in northern africa and then my one was meeting students of one of the local universities and he responsibility blaming local people for this problem lets you believe a big who the traffickers africans my friends in africa yourselves the questions on is not the french or the traffickers it's the africa also the france's president lost his temper another time while under another question of an african student about the number of africans go the french soldiers anything but this a penny more. this question highlight brode issue the

end getting criticism among local population of french troops stationed on the ground in africa because there was a number of negative incidents with military involved in the most outrageous one promises tended to its military over child abuse allegations and there was just one of the examples they were many of them in several african countries so friends president reaction to this question was quite surprising than anything taking the president actually away for the initial mission of this tree but the journey still goes on and experts now say that the president might taps a time to clarify his position and to go back to his initial positive mission to build new bridges with africa. reporter just this isn't the first case of abuse by french troops the central african republic has seen cases of

rape by french soldiers with reports of local minors suffering sexual assaults back in two of the sixteen several victims who asked not to be identified the stories. protest has been i was thirteen at the time i saw oranges and french troops asked me to bring them to room in their base when i entered it one of them jumped on me and raped me there was nothing i could come to me when i was fifteen and so french troops hours they take hold trays once they asked me to take them to the tank when i got there they seized me and raped me right there. for i know children who socialized with french troops because they played football volleyball with the kids that's when most of the rooms happened and. i just come back to our top story earlier this hour north korea has conducted its first ballistic missile test since september we can now hear from brian becker from the anti war coalition that's joining us today good to have you on why do you think north korea's decided to

conduct a missile test now there's been a two month pause what's with the timing of this situation. well if you want to have an advanced missile technology program they must be tested from time to time they must be tested at different times of the day under different weather conditions from different locations i think the government in north korea made it very clear in their new year's message to the nation that they were planning to go forward in what they called the final stage of the nuclear weapons program so that d.p. r. k. north korea would be understood to be a nuclear power by the world and by having this kind of very advanced intercontinental ballistic missile test which was successfully travel twenty eight hundred miles straight up it could have if flown horizontally traveled about a thousand miles another words the distance to washington d.c.

it's clear that the d.p. r. k. which has been treated as a rogue nation led by crazy people a bunch of peasants maybe ignorant has in fact developed a very effective missile technology program and nuclear technology program which they consider to be existentially important for their having a deterrent against them the menace that they perceive from the united states the largest military in the world of course the united states the friends circuitry said this latest missile test was the biggest one that we went higher than the any previous launch we've seen we've seen quite a muted response haven't we from the us administration mr trump said he will take care of it whatever that means why do you think there's been such a call response from the u.s. to this. we don't know actually trump has been all bluster and bluff in spite of the fact that trump says he's a great negotiator the art of the deal you never know what donald trump's bottom

line is because there's so much bluster he said africa from the podium of the united nations general assembly that he was prepared to totally destroy in north korea he called its head of state little rocket man he said that the united states would use fire and fury the type of which the world is never seen to take out north korea and at the same time now he sort of calmly says in the face of this missile test we'll take care of it that sounds ominous on its face even though it sounds a bit muted a bit calmer than some of his other vitriol we don't really know but it's quite clear if the united states and there are many advocates here who favor this goes to war or carries out a military strike against the d.p. r. k. the d.p. r. k. will not wait the d.p. r. k. will fight back and we will have a major war which will take the lives of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or millions of people the last time the united states engaged in the korean peninsula four million koreans died thirty eight thousand americans died this is

madness the united states needs to enter into serious negotiations with north korea and the hostility of the korean war needs to finally come to an and of course the u.s. and south korea will be launching of a big military exercise near the border on december the fourth coming up very soon those be thousands of american troops there as many as those twelve thousand women stand now given the tension on the peninsula on the border is that potentially a dangerous thing to do. yes i mean the north koreans will operate as if this war exerciser war game could quickly morphed into a real invasion because the word game so-called simulates the invasion and destruction of their country now the u.s. did invade north korea not so long ago in one nine hundred fifty and it did destroying north korea so this is not some like abstract thing for the north koreans they've experienced this now what north korea will do is put its entire

military on high alert they don't know whether the u.s. will take advantage of these by annual military exercises the largest in the world to carry out some sort of military adventure if they do of course the north koreans will strike a soul the city of seoul a city that has seventeen million people in the metropolitan areas just thirty miles from the d.m.z. even without nuclear weapons north korea's conventional artillery can decimate big parts of that city very quickly so the stakes are huge the stakes are high and i have to say there's an this body of opinion in america that says war within that with north korea is inevitable let's get it over with sooner than later because they're only getting stronger and after all most of the bleeding and almost all of the dying will be done over there. not by americans it's a cynical approach towards international politics and it's the opposite of real diplomacy and of course saber rattling going on all sides doesn't do any and any

good here is what i mean do you think the south korean government for example should they be doing more to actually establish some direct talks with the north and to find a diplomatic solution to avoid any potential confrontation here. well i think moon giant who was elected and there was so much hope and so much optimism even euphoria by koreans who are hoping for a deescalation of tensions in the korean peninsula and came in with the program of a stablish in dialogue and negotiations in direct talks with north korea as happened two thousand in two thousand and seven but i think the u.s. pentagon put such extreme pressure on south korea and ratcheted up their rhetoric against north korea and then north korea responding carried out numerous military tests including the test of a hydrogen bomb which it said it needed to show a deterrent capability there put the south korean government in a corner so they were used harsh rhetoric but i think the moon giant government

still has the opportunity to reach back to pyongyang and do what i think all the koreans in the north in the south in overseas koreans and all the people who want peace want which is negotiations not a new catastrophic war. from now and he will answer coalition thanks for your insight today here on out international thanks. i'll text giants facebook and twitter have agreed to help those companies have said that in the referendum from permissible sources we must be open also like russia russia and the potential presence of the east neighborhood and to try to attack our collective strength. and i'm looking forward today to we need commitments from european countries to working together to tackle these challenges in security and development all of this very hostile kind of rhetoric about russia comes in the light of the break that negotiations which have been going on between the u.k.

and the european union and they haven't been going very well and just late last week we saw the e.u. giving the u.k. a ten day deadline to get issues like the northern ireland which is russia's actions. russia's illegal onix ation of crimea so i have and will probably see oh it is invalid because of russia in the same way o'donnell trump is invalid because of russia it's really quite pathetic it's a coven coffee of what happened in the us instead of talking about jobs instead of talking about national parks outsourcing versus investment it's just russia russia russia russia we've all heard of looking for a needle in a haystack this is the art of a needle and it really is total nonsense it's another distraction that failing politicians are putting forward to confuse people about the nature of wife things are being run so terribly. has been getting the red carpet treatment in india

and more still to come off the break. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to listen. to the right to be press this is what limits are three of them will be good. i'm interested in the war as a. question. pretty . good. move. when i was a child's seemed wrong on one old rule just all. the world is

yet to shape our disdain you can stick up to it and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground the. welcome back to the program donald trump's daughter ivana visiting in india for a business for their global ship so much as they can place in the high tech hub of harder robots in the south of the country one of the stories they're calling joins me in the studio. just tell us more about this visit it's attracted a bit of controversy has that well evolved. global entrepreneurship summit to advocate for women's rights but her visit has drawn heavy criticism because her clothing line employees indian women who are paid extremely low wages but she is

also in high there by the city notorious for sex slavery and trafficking sex slaves to saudi arabia as well as other gulf countries but first some context to hide their brother is actually the capital of the island ghana which is known as the stalking ground of traffickers and bill in ghana has the fourth highest number of human trafficking cases in the country now they were of five hundred sixty one cases recorded in two thousand and fifteen so many are now questioning it was true motives or whether her presence were really do anything to address female entrepreneurship in general inequality but she did discuss the issue at the u.n. general assembly a few months ago let's check out what she had to say. it is hard to grasp how tens of millions of people across the grove can experience this scale of human suffering it is unacceptable we cannot stand by and silence we join you today in a full throated call for enhanced international cooperation to tackle model slave

modern slavery in all of its evil forms the trumpet ministration will continue to make this a priority and will work with your governments to identify and implements aleutians they can and these crimes once and for all so the question is will it bring up this issue during her visit or is this all just for publicising. to be seen to recall the facts for us what's more. we have less than a month to go until christmas cities across europe are getting into the first the swing but with the threat of terror running high or forty's of come up with a way to maintain security without spoiling it was fear what it has the details. festive trees aren't the only thing being installed in the run up to christmas on the streets of britain you're likely to see decorations christmas markets and an extra dose of concrete new security measures being put in place at festive markets

across the country and steel barriers like these around london's winter wonderland are intended to protect pedestrians from ice ill style truck attacks for anyone put off by all the steel and concrete this could be the answer or thirty's in the city of whole have come up with this novel way of dressing up their antiterrorist crash barriers london's metropolitan police have said that this year the public may see additional protective measures and security checks at festival vents around the capital and it's not just rings of steel and concrete permanent bollards like these have become common place they prevent cars and trucks from entering pedestrians those you feel a bit more cipher see in the police knowing that they will talk of it ok so the extra security visibly makes you feel better from a different way you know we just expect more security everywhere now it's just

because that's just fortunately the way of the world. after the deadly terror attacks this year many in the u.k. are feeling vulnerable last week a security alert at london's oxford circus tube station triggered mass panic. nine people were injured when crowds ran to escape what they believed to be gunshots after a security lockdown the incident turned out to be a false alarm as well as an illustration of just how nervous many a feeling this festive season. a danish court has extended the sentence of a teenage girl who was planning bomb attacks in the country it was during her visit a trial to explain that she had found islamic states message exciting on monday she

was given eight years in prison after initially being sentenced to six other girl she's not been named but she was fifteen when she was arrested near copenhagen in january last year and her family alerted police after becoming suspicious about chemicals they had seen in the basement of their home during a search police found bomb making greedy and sour notes expressing sympathy with islamic state evidence indicated she'd planned to attack a former primary school and a jewish school as well in a statement the court revealed that suits being jailed the girl had stabbed a teacher with a broken mirror as laura smith explains there's been a growth of radicalized youngsters in europe. seventeen year old boy in wales found guilty of planning to ram a car into a crowd in the city of college if he apparently had several venues for this attack under consideration one of which was a shopping center another was a justin bieber concert so reminiscent told the teen that we saw attacked in

manchester earlier this year. in his bedroom they found martyrdom in which he said he was a soldier of the islamic state also a large knife and a hammer in a bind police say that he was planning an attack similar to the westminster attack in which a man in a van rammed a crowd on westminster bridge and then got out and stabbed a police officer. he posted i still propaganda on instagram and his instagram post would believe it or not it was truck attack now this comes at the end of a year of terror in the u.k. which has seen a number of attacks including a failed attack on an underground station in parsons green it turns out that

full of the seven people arrested in connection with that attack was under the age of twenty five in the person who is ultimately being charged is just eighteen not all of those attacks were committed by youngsters but we do see a trend emerging one hundred seventeen people under the age of twenty five rested for terror offenses in the year up to the end of june two thousand and seventeen hauffe of those were in the seventeen to twenty age bracket and the other half was slightly older twenty to twenty five some of those arrests of course didn't lead to charges but home office statistics do show a rise in the number of young people being convicted of terror offenses a lot of the headlines for this so are you watching all the international and then you hawkins will see you again at the top of next hour for more global headlines.
