north korea ends a ten week pause in its weapons tests nor what the pentagon describes as an intercontinental ballistic missile. the british government is to receive a helping hand from media giants facebook and twitter to look into alleged russian interference and last few sprigs of. i'm. president my call has met with protests and book you know fast so while students over the presence of french troops in the country. live from moscow global headlines every hour on. thanks for joining us tonight here

on international a 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 about two hundred kilometers off its coast but didn't pause so for japanese territory he set up a trunk of reports from so there was about two months of relative calm when it comes to the test. and then there you have it came well into the night while. both the north and the south war is the and then we found out about this latest missile launch by kim john and that is after the relative calm of over and november american and japanese military radars were quick to register the one thousand kilometer long flight of the north korean missile which ended somewhere in the japanese seat. be more precise somewhere where japan has its

exclusive economic waters and i'll be putting it really mildly if i say that this puts governments in the region on high alert japan immediately summoned a cabinet crisis team south korea its military responded with a for decision strike military exercise and donald trump found out about all this while he was meeting fellow republican party members and he had to address the launch very quickly he said the u.s. will have to take care of it right away a missile was launched. a while ago from the north korea i want to take care of it we have general most in the room with us and kind of discussion about it. it is a situation that we will be a u.s. president donald trump and the japanese prime minister shinzo hopping have been on

the phone during this conversation they reaffirmed their commitment to counter north korea after the recent missile test that impacted within japan's exclusive economic zone as i was saying the u.n. security council has scheduled an emergency meeting on north korea's latest missile launch italy chairs the council and its spokesperson says the wednesday afternoon meeting was requested by japan the u.s. and south korea the security council has already imposed its toughest ever sanctions on kim john oves government in response to its escalating nuclear and ballistic missile programs and the u.s. and japan are likely to see even stronger measures but what is really important here maybe even more important than the launch is the actual response there are two ways to treat the north korean crisis there is an international consensus that the nuclear and ballistic missile launches are illegal but what. came john stop more

military drills more pressure or north korea or a different kind of approach that is suggested by china and russia that is step by step concessions and the reduction of military presence in the flexing of military muscles here in the region so very soon we will see what is going to prevail here. a broad beca from the antiwar coalition told us that all signs involved in the standoff need to negotiate. the last time the united states and gauged 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 u.s. pentagon puts 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 there put the south korean government in a corner so they've 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 and overseas koreans and all the people who want peace want which is negotiations not a new catastrophic war. not tech giants facebook and twitter have agreed to help the british government look into alleged russian interference in last year's bricks at vote isa ali has the details from the. house of commons media watchdog wants to know what russia's influence has been in particular in the brig's at referendum they've been requested by the house of commons to speak and give any evidence as to alleged russian interference the company's include facebook and twitter and those companies have said that they will hand over information relating to so-called russian back accounts talk of alleged russian interference in the brigs that

process has got more and more intense with british politicians increasingly being critical of russia given the widespread public concern over foreign and particularly russian interference in western democracies. in this house but the government and the electoral commission will examine these reports very carefully and reassure our country that all of the resources spent in the referendum. from permissible sources we must be open eyes about the actions of hostile states like russia who threaten the potential presence of eastern neighborhood and who try to tear our collective strength apart and i'm looking forward today to bring new commitments from european countries to working together to tackle the shared challenges in both security and development all of this very hostile kind of rhetoric about russia comes in the light of the breadth of 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 before the e.u. giving the u.k. a ten day deadline to get if you like the northern ireland border thought it out and some critics say that this is a way for the prime minister to distract from those difficulties and even divisions within her own party as well on the issue of bragg's that another best nothing better to reflect that but a recent speech where she made repeated references to russia chief among those today of course is russia but it is russia's actions russia's illegal onix ation of crimea so i have a very simple message for russia because we know there's a strong and prosperous russia russia has the reach and the responsibility russia can russia does not to secure the best possible brics it now facebook say that they will respond with their information to the committee by early december while

twitter says it will respond in the coming weeks and their findings of a case in the u.k. almost exactly mirrors claims of russian meddling in the u.s. in late october the same text testified to congress. we determined that the number of accounts we could link to russia and that were tweeting election related content was comparatively small. aggregate these ads and posts were a very small fraction of the overall content on facebook but any amount is too much .

these videos mostly had low view counts. you say lack of resources a lack of commitment and a lack of genuine effort and that just won't do we could we could have done more but i think we are doing more today and have done more since no no no we need to do more with the structure the same is true ok. to discuss this story now we can cross live to human rights lawyer and author of the book the proper scapegoat russia kovalchuk thanks for joining us on r.t. so good to have you on the show now will facebook on twitter do you think be able to find this smoking gun this this final evidence of russian meddling in the u.k. . no i think that this is

a smokescreen i agree with the head of the labor party of the u.k. jeremy corbin who himself has said that this is nothing but an attempt by to re some may who has very low polling numbers to try to deflect blame upon herself to russia which is exactly the same phenomenon happening in the united states we know that in the us senator mark warner and obama himself put pressure on facebook to try to come up with anything linking russia with any interference in the two thousand and sixteen election but there's nothing there. huge percentage of the facebook. posts that facebook links to russia whatever that means appeared after the two thousand and sixteen election this is just fabricated and it's leading to well it already has led to

a new cold war which is quite dangerous for the entire world and it's important to us. to debunk this just want to go back to something you mentioned you mentioned the example of the united states where there was accusations of russian interference as well but in that country of course the claims came from intelligence agencies whether the evidence was accurate or not is up for debate but at least the intelligence agencies did provide what they claim to be evidence in the u.k. the security services have made no such claim so what's the evidence being based on here the government what do you think it's based on these accusations on. i think it's based on nothing i think it's based on teresa mayes desperation trying to cling to her prime ministership and i think it's disgraceful she needs to take responsibility for own actions for. great britain's you know floundering economy instead of trying to blame russia for all for woes i

mean this this blaming game on russia is absurd it would be laughable if it didn't have such you know possible horrendous real ramifications now how much influence do you think these online bots. and fake accounts and social media how much influence do you think they have in western democracies because i mean politicians are saying people do get a lot of information from social media they could be very impressionable perhaps. i mean has the whole story been blown out for portion or on the other hand is there no smoke without fire i think it has been blown out of proportion one i've yet to see evidence of of this were linked to russia i don't know what that means link to russia are these private citizens or these companies in none of this is been linked to the kremlin though they're trying to do that

meanwhile i don't think it has a huge influence on either the american people or the people of great britain they can think for themselves and again it is your clip showed whatever was posted. was a very small percentage of what is on social media and i just think there's no evidence that it had much of an impact either in the us in the two thousand and sixteen elections or in great britain on the brakes and i think both countries need to do some soul searching. and look into why people made the decisions that they did. instead of blaming a foreign country like russia. i just i want to see it just it just baffles me how people can take this seriously now you mentioned that you know governments may peddle these claims for their own interest to cover up maybe some domestic problems

the truck attention but what about the social media giants facebook twitter etc google that are also now cracking down on russian linked russian related content however you want to call it i mean what's their benefit in doing this. well i think they're getting squeezed by the u.s. government i mean we know this in the clip you showed they got a tongue lashing in congress because they didn't produce the type of evidence that some people in congress wanted look as i mentioned obama and senator warner put pressure particularly on facebook to come up with evidence senator warner himself flew to california to meet with mark zuckerberg. to put pressure on facebook to come up with something on russia because facebook initially said there was no evidence of meddling so i think these private companies are feeling pressure from the u.s. government to do anything to come up with anything. to please them and i think

people in the u.s. should be very concerned about this because it is impacting accounts that free speech in this country and the right for free inquiry into very important issues of our day and so little of investigation's ongoing isn't into these issues will look with interest to see how they end as well what evidence they come up with if any done kovalchuk human rights lawyer and author of the plot to scapegoat russia thanks so much for joining us on our faces. thank you very much. the french president tomorrow micron is on a three day tour of africa got off to his trip rather got off to a pretty difficult start.

and where you're from is in paris for r.t. with the latest on president micron's africa tour. it wasn't told smooth and read about cohen's trip to africa started with an attempted attack on french troops on the ground a security source 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 an early night for me said that he was probably doing the regime that would not tell africans what to do all that sounded very positive and very promising but apparently something went wrong because of france's president deep tell africans what to do and on several occasions first while speaking about trafficking problems in northern africa and then micron was meeting students of one of the local universities and responsibility blaming local people for this problem let's take

a listen let us quote you believe about all this africa to the traffickers good is that they are my friends if your saying you are good ask yourselves the questions on this not the french who are the traffickers that is the africa there is also the france's president lost his temper another time while i understand another question of an african student about the number of african students a few runs comparing to the number of african of french troops in africa this is what he said look at the global you may have a grandfather who came to fight to help friends when it was attacked in one thousand nine hundred fourteen to eighteen or nineteen thirty nine to forty five we need to look at the shared history but don't talk to me like that about the french soldiers if you don't go there for it so just anything but this applaud. this question highlight brode issue the and the criticism among local population of french troops stationed on the ground in africa because there was

a number of negative incidents with french military involved in the. most outrageous one from suspended two of 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 in time to clarify his position and to go back to his initial positive mission to build new bridges with africa ok that's for now. trump has been getting the red carpet treatment in india story and more still to come just in a few moments. he's

doing an excellent job it's like basically it's like the biggest cause euthanasia clinic tromp is the euthanasia doctor america is being euthanized and he's doing in a way where it's the least amount of pain but that's not that's not cruel i mean he's doing that as a good euthanasia this time he's doing things in the cruel freeway. which. chokes seem wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any old babies get to shape out these days comes to attitude and engagement equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. bookmarks the program there was less than a month to go until christmas cities across europe were getting into the first of swing but with the threat of terror or sorties of come up with a way to maintain security without spoiling the atmosphere. as 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 i still styled 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 anti terror crash barriers london's metropolitan police have said that this year the public may see additional protective measures and security checks at festive advance 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 though is you feel a bit more cypher seeing the police now when they were top of it ok so the extra security visibly makes you feel better or from a different way you know or are we just expect more security everywhere now is 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. please see. and danish court has extended the sentence of a teenage girl who was planning bomb attacks in the country during her trial she explained that she had found islamic states message exciting on monday she was given eight years in prison after initially being sentenced to six girl who's not been named was fifteen when she was arrested near copenhagen that was back in

january last year her family alerted police after becoming suspicious about chemicals they'd seen in the basement of their home during a search police found bomb making ingredients notes expressing sympathy with islamic state evidence indicated she'd planned to attack a former primary school as well as a jewish school in a statement the court revealed that since being jailed the girl had stabbed a teacher with a broken mirror as laura smith explains there's been a growth of radicalized youngsters throughout 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 of 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 by 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 the full of the seven people arrested in connection with that attack were 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. donald trump's daughter yvonne curry is now visiting india for a business forum taking place in the high tech hub of hundred in the south of the country some are calling this report. but just bring us up to date on this visit because it's attracted quite a bit of controversy as well as that. is in high there ride to advocate for women's rights at the global entrepreneurship summit she's in a high the ride to a city notorious for sex slavery and trafficking slaves to saudi arabia as well as
