a little bit of the surplus one. of the special olympics. they're going for nuclear war north korea claims washington is seeking more lives of conflict just days after pyongyang tests and you missed it says can hit anywhere on the u.s. mainland long stories shake that we don't r.t. suicide at the hague is a former bosnian croat general swallows a vial of poison after his twenty year sentence for war crimes is that. the french president for military action against human traffickers in their beer critics to say he has no right to intervene but the country has not yet recovered from the destruction inflicted by the nato led intervention of twenty eleven and the world

cup soccer lines are drawn for football's finest as the teams discover who they're up against him russia next up. welcome to r.t. this sunday evening where you are watching the weekly our look back at the last seven days and also the latest developments now north korea says the u.s. is begging for nuclear war the statement comes just days after pyongyang launched a new miss our which it says is capable of reaching anywhere on the u.s. mainland that caused quite a reaction from washington and also a counterproposal from russia dictator of north korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to war not farther from it and if for comes make no mistake the north korean regime will be utterly destroyed the movement of those that should the americans should start with explaining their

intentions to its all if they are really looking for an excuse to destroy north korea as the u.s. envoy to the u.n. so that a security council meeting let them spell it out clearly and let the u.s. leadership confirm it then we will decide how to react. well according to both north and south korea the missile reached an altitude of four and a half thousand kilometers before landing in the sea of japan that is more than ten times higher than the orbit of the international space station right after the launch south korea staged its own missile exercise. was was it took place there close to the border with the north it. was at the valdai discussion club in seoul this week but russia presented its own road map out of the crisis. what has been donald trump's approach to sorting out

the north korea crisis in a nutshell is a sick puppy we are totally prepared for the second option that's called the military option the distance from here to the border with north korea is only about forty kilometers and once you end up in seoul which is well in the firing range of kim's artillery you can't help looking at that rhetoric from a different perspective especially if there is what you'd call a totally different approach. is absolutely no alternative to dialogue them but in order to start a dialogue just everyone has to start that will take a deep breath and a step back from the red line which will my stuff why can we hope that the only option according to moscow will prevail so russia's been saying hey we've got a plan step one north korea should completely halt its missile and nuclear tests for the u.s. that means and ends to almost nonstop war games with seoul moscow calls it

a double freeze step to might be very tough direct talks between washington and pyongyang on rules of peaceful coexistence and finally they should lead to step three establishing a security framework for the entire region with every player involved what do you think about the russian road map i think that the proposal is really realistic flexible i hope you. and your cage in the olympics or two parties concerned between could you could be to nelson so. you know come up with the most at risk behavior north korean knew that the military option it's always under the table. by putting the military option. on the table. it's not likely change you know screen behavior as the advisor to the. south korean president what do you tell them about the drills no you know i personally in the

favor engagement dialogue and negotiation with north korea and some people in the government may have different ideas others openly reject moscow's plan like the neighbors in tokyo who simply can't imagine security without the drills with their allies so for now south koreans have no other choice but to welcome us raptors and co for the vigilance ace rule games anyway for those who live in seoul or who are here to talk about keeping the peace in korea there's something to bear in mind. for war games or real strikes that would put millions of lives at risk the decision to send let's say warplanes to the korean skies may depend on one single man miles and miles away on the other side of the pacific. i was in a prank reporting well we did speak with some experts they believe we are on the brink of a major conflict. at a time in which there is this standoff and this misunderstanding and lack of

communication creates a very volatile situation it maybe seems somehow as intimidating but these have never worked the proposal that anyone who cares about peace in the region is putting forth right now is that these military options are not realistic and you need to sit down at the table and when they do those exercises something could be mistaken as invasion something could be mistaken as live attacks and such and so we put the millions and millions of people in the seoul area in south korea in japan and other places that risk this seems like folly and foolishness when we have such a volatile situation. now also this week a former bosnian croat general who fought in the bosnian war and nearly one thousand nine hundred committed suicide during a un court session at the hague on wednesday we are going to show you video of what

happened but please be warned it does contain distressing images on here. you know. stop please please don't. let the pressure of. you know. we're all who. have taken poison. his trial was part of the yugoslav war crimes tribunal the incident itself took place right after the former boss an incredible military commander lost his appeal still but i'm proud yack was convicted of war crimes and given twenty years for his role in the conflict in former yugoslavia. the yugoslav was the bloodiest conflicts in european history since the second world

war tensions between a complex mix of nationalities forming the state of yugoslavia erupted into a bit civil war originate yugoslavia included six republics with different nationalities and religious groups. the communist revolutionary and statesman tito who established the federal republic of yugoslavia managed to suppress nationalism to his death in the one nine hundred eighty s. relations among the republics quickly deteriorated with each of them seeking their own independence is soon turned ugly own all sides the nine hundred ninety five genocide in tripoli needs a is one of the bloodiest pages in yugoslav history the massacre of malta involves the acts perpetrated by units of the bulls. resulted in their commander ratko manage being jailed for life by the un special court in november twenty seventh. but atrocities happened on old sites in one thousand nine hundred three sixty nine

so being civilians were killed by bosnia and herzegovina army forces in the scale on the massacre but an orthodox church in the cemetery burned to the ground. over all despite much evidence of war crimes conducted similar taney asleep by different forces the cia eventually declared said militants were responsible for ninety percent of all crimes including genocide. tonight and they took those into action against yugoslavia it is indeed tragic that diplomacy has failed and nato is now intervening in a war in a sovereign country. and eventually nato air campaign conducted a number of operations to undermine the military capability of. army. to this day the u.n. special court distil investigating war crime cases from the conflict well a total of one hundred sixty one people have been indicted for war crimes in the

former yugoslavia since the tribunals began atrocities were committed by all sides party to the conflict but longer sentences have been given to serbians and montenegrins counting up the total number of those jail terms serbian authorities suggest that nearly one and a half thousand years were given to its nationals and that's in contrast to three hundred for croats and just fifty years for the former yugoslavia in republics however the un court has never investigated nato's involvement in the war including the use of depleted uranium munitions some of the cases have been so lengthy that several defendants have died while on trial at the hague the editor in chief of the news website duran dot com says the tribunals set up was flawed from the very start and major criticism of the tribunals is that it is not being impartial it was set up in the in in the one nine hundred ninety s. in mainly at the instigation of the western powers out at

a time when the western powers were criticizing serbia and its government and the people the serbian people of bosnia for the war in bosnia now that is a problematic stept because when the same people instigate the setting up of the tribunals of to they have already identified who they think is responsible for a war it becomes very difficult to expect that tribunals to act impartially. now the year french president has tabled a new plan to combat human trafficking in libya that involves military action but a menu proposal is drawing widespread criticism to the previous french led intervention in libya there the country in ruins is madagascar explains. slavery and human trafficking of violent offenses sadly common now in libya but

no need to fear president macron is here he has the solution for libya's problem send in the troops it's a new city zone we're proposing police military action we are not waging war but this is a country in a political transition political transition he calls it does sound better than savage civil war more politically correct nevertheless a number of african and e.u. states are ready to help fight this war or rather not really a war says macron but a military operation still round two for france in libya. today were intervening in libya we are intervening in order to enable the libyan people to choose their own destiny it must not be deprived of its rights by violence and terror the fact that slavery is so rampant in libya is because the

country's army and political order were obliterated under nato bombardment six years ago since then libya has been stuck in a brutal and bloody political transition as president calls it or absolute chaos and anarchy as anyone out sward call it as long as it is a failed state the problem will come back as a failed state because the regime of got our feet up was not the mice regime nobody says that was destroyed by the french and the british together in two thousand and eleven. well here's how the modern slavery problem is spread around the world at the moment africa comes out worst in fact it's seven point six people per thousand of population in second then we have asia and the pacific and then in third there is europe and central asia so interesting enough though france itself is apparently become a key human trafficking hub so you will have

a look here at least according to a report by the u.s. state department it does list become three as the destination and transit point for men women and also children subjected to forced labor and also sex trafficking this week we spoke to an assistant of the former libyan leader moammar gadhafi but labor here chaired the eight billion dollars libyan african investment portfolio manage the gadhafi family's private funds to this is what he told us. for the home from hard as it's not right to see gadhafi better to see the libyan government the libyan government left about two hundred billion dollars in various banks abroad and the u.n. has frozen the money in accordance with the security council resolution and when it comes to the money inside the country those who came to power after because after he claimed there were one hundred sixty tons of gold billions of dollars in libyan dinars in the central bank when gadhafi moved from tripoli to search he took

nothing with him. and the comparable than that i was government official not was how i dealt with sarkozy as an official the french media pie another me drought this claim that some people met with me and then there was a decision taken to be fifty million i said i have nothing to do with that. a lot. of nothing is known about that the record after statements and sarkozy statements not better believe because after all. i don't know this person and i never met him if he says he would recognize me if he sees me that's a lie if he's taken money from someone he should reveal from whom exactly but anyway that's a french problem not libya's. now the thirty two nations who will battle it out for the fee for world cup in russia next summer discovered their opponents on

friday is the draw was made for the group stages in moscow here's how then the eight groups are looking kicking it all off on june the fifteenth will be russia up against saudi arabia the capitals newly refurbished luzhniki stadium group be there too meanwhile seems perhaps the most anticipated tie of the round pitting rivals portugal up against spain russia will also welcome some deadly sins to the biggest sporting stage two with iceland playing argentina in their first ever appearance at the world cup we did get the chance to catch up with some of the managers taking those teams into the top. then we've got a group of players that. contrie over eleven million to produce these sort of footballers are something to be proud of the biggest job we have to be able to see the players working hard for each other but enjoying the responsibility of been

seen as one of the best generations of belgian football has ever had. we have of course belgium who we know everything about them so. i think that game will capture everybody's imagination at home we feel an exciting thing a team that are only going to get better but we are a team some experience of those big matches. we have to give. you know we are very proud to be qualified for the world we know it will be very difficult. but we are not going to do all good just to stay on the beach and to see you again go straight to the next round. we'll have to make the best decisions we can during the tournament starting with the game against portugal there's no such thing as a good or bad opponent will have to have a victory against the teams we've been drawn against the match against portugal

will be a great event in total russia is expecting more than half a million fans to come and support their countries next summer close to three million people applied for tickets when the batch went on general sale ahead of the draw supporters though have already sampled the atmosphere at some of the venues for the event early this year at the confederations cup. we would so much from mexico russia we thought maybe they were like going to be bad

people want to match it completely although they were still like really friendly russian people are so friendly friends that still believe me it was a beautiful gathering people who would come back from work to come up to me be able to make friends. and still to come here on the weekly a christmas market alert in germany after police discover a suspicious package there we've got the details of the stories on the way. the politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to. have to go right to be close it's like that before in the morning can't be good.

i'm interested always in the lawyers in the. first sitting. in. this edition of the israeli state is jewish and in my opinion for that citizens of as it is a jewish state for the jewish. citizens. this is our goal as is and i like so usually to equal itself to that of these when it is they are talking about the economy but when democracy there was only compared with the arab world. welcome back now a christmas market in the german city of port stammers evacuated on friday after a suspicious package was found police said it was packed with cables batteries and

nails but that it didn't appear to be a viable explosive despite the brandenburg state interior minister said it was a successful attempt to spread fear as germany is on high alert after a number of recent terror attacks meanwhile in the europe wide threat a picture has been making the rounds online of in the slam extend a militant with a knife the caption too soon on your holidays written in english french and german and it's a threat the u.k. is taking very seriously as. reports first of 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 still style truck attacks for anyone put off by all the steel and concrete this could be the answer or thirty's in the city. halde have come up with this novel way of dressing up there and t. taro 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 sight to see in the place 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 it 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 trickett 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. pretty boy see. the cryptocurrency big corn has been hissing record highs the price of one corn is over eleven thousand dollars at the moment and that's up from around one thousand at the beginning of the year so here's a quick look then at how the technology works.

ok. so it sounds good then but what are the dangers well neil harvey discussed the risks of investing in bitcoin with the financial high smacks kaiser and also economics professor steve case it's such a huge right across encourage people looking at the slowing of got to be there the entry cost of buying a house and hoping the house might appreciate so people are dogging him because the

process is rising but that's one of the definitions of a bubble bitcoin is not a bubble the u.s. dollars in a bubble they feel that currency world is in a bubble stocks and bonds you could argue are in a bubble something that's not a bubble would be a big coin you have the dollar that is crashing in a hyperinflationary crash against a big point isn't there a really strong argument that it's being you speculatively is a store of value but actually where can you actually use it because it's not too many places in the come on you can actually spend it and isn't there a danger when people realize that the pony can sell their story value it's being a it's a there are hundreds of thousands of transactions now a day hundred thousand merchants accepted going to the real estate markets being operated by big go and you can buy high end of properties went big client but again the timeline here has to be considered the travel from being a store of value to a means of exchange is going to take another few years because even though you can buy all those things with it you'd be an idiot to buy those things now because if you wipe ten weeks you can botch wash as many or three times as many so it's

a process to stabilize now my worry is when it stabilizes what will happen to that price i don't think it's going to necessarily reach the stratosphere at one hundred thousand dollars and then. if you get to the stage where the only returns you're getting out of big coin modeling of the transactions then i think the process to fall dramatically you have gold as a case study gold is used takes a lot of energy to produce gold gold is used as a means of exchange as well as a store of value it's been around for quite some time because it is gold to point out the motherlode it's still taking over the global finance in this way it's putting feet of money out of business and the bankers on wall street are running scared jamie diamond is literally you know peeing in his pants at this point because he knows he's going to be out of a job in five years we don't need the jamie diamond of the world ripping us off we don't need wells fargo stealing money out of accounts we don't really just b.c. funding drug lords in mexico to the tune of billions of dollars we don't need those bad actors in society and because it gets rid of all those financial terrorists and

it's about time somebody stood up and did battle because the government's not doing it the academics are doing it so we have to coin to do it an interesting debate so you've been watching a week here or not don't forget you get a chance have been it could. come to you in a social media pages and channel and between you. and it's getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos. this should be like you know. this is my complicity is good on the sun you know maybe. john. couey should be the only palestinians who gets the most hope from its jerusalem

counterparts those things is among those who. wish to know who could do this. i know if there's a lot if not it's got to this lady of the most of the i'm going to compete in the doesn't seem to do more commitments also some piss off. there is no center in the united states political discourse it's all center right ever since the clinton people came into power the center right has become the right and there is no peace party that exists in my country and i don't see any evidence of it except this third party that is so criticized the green party.
