interesting holes in the waters. thanks to. the north korea accuses washington of begging for nuclear war just days after appearing on tested its most powerful missile today. in the stories that shaped of the week on our g suicide at the hague as a former bosnian croat general swallows a vial of poison after his twenty year sentence a war crimes is upheld. the french president calls for military action against human and traffickers in libya a country left in ruins by the nato intervention of two thousand and eleven.

casting a lot of direct from our studios in moscow this is our team to national and john thomas certainly going to have you with us as we recap of the week's top stories north korea says the u.s. is begging for nuclear war the statement comes just days after pyongyang fired a new ballistic missile which it says is capable of reaching anywhere on the u.s. mainland now the test launch provoked an angry response from washington and a call for caution from russia. little rocket man rocket fuel for the american because. he is a sick puppy the 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 and we're going to go to the americans should start with explaining their

intentions. they are really looking for an excuse to destroy as the u.s. envoy to the u.n. said it's 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. right after the launch south korea staged its own missile exercise. it took place close to the border with the north a jungle involved explains how north korea's missile capability has grown in recent months. early wednesday north korea suddenly broken over two month pause in weapons testing and showed a significant bump in their capabilities the missile is believed to be north korea's most powerful projectile to date let's break down the details during a flight the rocket reached an altitude of up to four thousand five hundred kilometers to put that in perspective that is more than ten times the height of the international space station and while that number does come from a statement from north korea it is in line with estimates released by both japan and south korea the missile splashdown off of japan's west coast but it has been

reported that if missile had been fired on a standard path it could reach a target almost anywhere in the world including any part of the u.s. but with higher frankly did any previous state take a research and development effort on their part of the building to look for the threat. everywhere in the world basically something likely to increase now reignited tensions is the fact that in less than a week the u.s. and south korea will again conduct drills on north korea's doorstep a practice that sees a blatant threat that they will not leave unanswered. i . russia and china have called for the maneuvers to be paused numerous times and life of the less than friendly climate but those

suggestions have been ignored along with pleas to restrain from the back and forth name calling and aggressive rhetoric between the u.s. and north korea that has been a trademark of this year this is all culminated in north korea possessing a nuclear bomb and a missile to deliver it anywhere allowing them to probably announce the conclusion of their nuclear program it looks like diplomacy may never be given a chance. well north korea is attracting global condemnation some believe washington is making matters worse we heard from agree l.h. from the advisory board of the korea policy institute the united states are truly concerned about north korea's nuclear program it would again dialogue that's the only way to resolve the problem and north korea said many many times i repeat we are not willing to give up the nuclear program unless united states drops its policy i think like a reasonable request to me the more the united states wants to punish north korea the more they convince north korea that they need to develop their nuclear deterrent protect themselves so has the opposite effect. the former bosnian

croat general who fought in the bosnian war in the early one nine hundred ninety s. committed suicide to during the un court session at the hague on wednesday now we're about to show you a video of what happened in a bit of a warning it doesn't contain some distressing images people. here are. still police don't. let them. look. over who. has taken poison. his trial was part of the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia the incident took place right after the commander lost his appeal slobodan convicted of war crimes and given twenty years for his role in the conflict.

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 all sides the nine hundred ninety five genocide in tripoli needs a is one of the bloodiest pages in yugoslav history the massacre of mold in both the acts perpetrated by units of the bulls. resulted in their commander ratko 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 serbian civilians were killed by poles the and herzegovina army forces in the scale on a massacre of an orthodox church in a cemetery around. overall despite much evidence of war crimes conducted similar taney asleep by different forces the cia eventually declared said militants were responsible but ninety percent of all crimes including genocide. tonight they took goes into action against yugoslavia it is indeed tragic that diplomacy has failed and later is now intervening in a war in a sovereign country. and eventual nato air campaign conducted a number of operations to undermine the military capability of the boss and sent me

. to this day the un special court is still investigating war crime cases from the conflict. the total of one hundred sixty one people have been indicted for war crimes in the former yugoslavia since the tribunal began atrocities were committed by all sides a party to the conflict but the longer sentences have been given to serbians in montenegrins counting up at the total time of those who jail terms serbian authorities that were given to its nationals that's in contrast to three hundred fifty years for the other former yugoslavia republics over the un court has never investigated nato's involvement in the war including of the use of depleted uranium munitions some of the cases that have been so lengthy that several defendants have died while on trial at the hague the editor in chief of the news website the duran dot com says the tribunal set up was flawed from the very start and major criticism of the tribunal is that it is not being impartial it was set up in the in in the

one nine hundred ninety s. . mainly at the instigation of the western powers out at a time when the western powers criticizing serbia and its government and the people in the serbian people of bosnia for the war in bosnia now that is a problematic steps because when the same people instigate the setting up of the tribunals of two they have already identified who they think is responsible for a wall it becomes very difficult to expect that trying bunol to act impartially. the french president has called for military action against human traffickers in libya to many microns a proposal is drawing wide criticism as the previous french led intervention in libya left the country in ruins and he's my god you have comments. slavery and human trafficking fences 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 outs call it as long as it is a failed state the problem will come back as a failed state because the regime of cut off the top was not a mass regime nobody says that was destroyed by the french and british together in two thousand and eleven. here's how the modern slavery problem is spreads out worst at seven point six people per thousand it is followed by the asia pacific region with central asia and europe in third according to a report by the u.s. state department france itself has become a key human traffic. it lists the country as a destination and transit point for men women and children subjected to forced

labor and sex trafficking king we asked the vice president of the. we cannot accept anything. with africa we want to see anybody local they were going to patients competing in the fifa world cup in russia next summer and discover there are on june fifteenth russia will face saudi arabia ad saying we've got a group of players the. country of eleven million to produce the sort of football is something to be proud of we have to be able to see the players working hard for each other but enjoying the responsibility of being seen as one of the but 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 keep oh you mean you know we are very proud to be qualified for the world go we know it will be very difficult. but we are not going to do all good

i played for many years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the beach or the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money. and spending to the twenty million. it's an experience like you know. because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game great chance for. the geeks.

and welcome back this is the weekly on r t international and christmas market in the german city of ponce was evacuated on friday after a suspicious device was found places said it was packed with cables batteries and nails bud that it did not appear to be a viable explosive despite that the brandenburg state interior minister said it was a successful attempt to spread fear it comes almost a year after a terrorist drove a truck into a broken christmas market killing twelve people meanwhile islamic state has warned of further attacks on christmas markets across europe in a series of online posts and in the u.k. the threat is being taken very seriously as artie's point though reports. 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 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. you know we just executed see everyone now is just it because that's deadly terror attacks this year many in the u.k. station triggered alarm over corruption allegations. a controversial draft law to pass through prime minister binyamin netanyahu as well as making recommendations to prosecutors demonstrators held up signs reading shame and crime minister netanyahu has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing claiming the bill is a political weapon against the government but the protesters say that they intend to keep up the pressure until he is forced from off. their new year's model i think the time has come for a change of government the government is corrupt we're sick of the corruption. isn't a little sad that we have a corrupt government that needs to be brought down as quickly as possible the prime minister knows his calmness along with him. to defend democracy and they're all

floor to build a more equal and just society for everyone. the israeli prime minister is under investigation in two separate corruption cases and one he's accused of receiving a bribes from wealthy businessmen and in the other his specter of reaching a deal with a newspaper in order to secure favorable coverage. we asked a senior correspondent at israel's heritage newspaper and a political science professor at the open university of israel for their views on the crisis i don't think that the prime minister initiated this piece of legislation which was put recently on the table only netanyahu that. is worried about the outcome of the police investigation. but certainly there is this in laws circles in these that the upper echelons are in fact that with the corruption legislation it is just i would say one very critical of

course to be debated but it is seen by by most of the protesters at just as the thick of the iceberg not as the issue. as the who are these important for the public to be aware of the police having collected all the evidence and where you do what they think and if they think that there is no case that's fine too but it is incumbent on the police to let the prosecution and the public know what their findings are now obviously it's a transparent move by. his political cronies to shield him from public pressure it is probably the lowest of. prime ministership because politically he has been secure in power until. criminal cases started to close around him. archie america had its press accreditation in

the u.s. congress revoked on wednesday. here is the letter we received informing us of the decision and says the decision to withdraw credentials was taken unanimously by the congressional press office it came in response to the network's forced registration as a foreign agent in america at the time the state department said that it would not affect the channel's freedom to operate within the states when the united states tells someone to register under a foreign agent requirement we don't see impacts or a fax the ability of them to report news and information we just have them register it's as simple as that i ask the question how does this look like to the world in the nation's capital the bastion of free speech thousands of people from every conceivable form of press that there is they get

a badge but are j o o o they're all foreign agent they're different this is just gone on to the point where it's becoming absolutely ridiculous the organization for security and cooperation in europe has hit out at the decision to strip our t. of its press credentials in a tweet the o s c e said that it demonstrates how foreign agents status of facts media freedom the president of the international federation of journalists told us of the trend is deeply alarming. it's a form of insidious censorship or because you can say the media is free to operate but do it when you're with throw the cretaceous effectively you cut. the media from sources of information that which is it which has a name censorship in our ethical rules we have a very famous say facts are secrets comments are free so. the

station is supposed to give you access to the effect and from the facts to journalist can comment on their own and they are free to do it this is simply freedom of expression and press freedom international for their actions of journalists who are reacted several times in the past when r.t. and other media were. we cannot accept that the media enjoy in the east are used in kind of we do need to a war between the united see it a new russia journalist our journalists there are not agents and that does it for me this hour be back in about thirty four minutes of the full look at your news you are watching our international events.

a single chair in the room is empty an endless stream of donors with no time to recover after the donation twelve hours a day seven days a week. in view of such summary checks everything is based on what people think pay donations entailed a certain risk they encourage donors to lie about their health. such compensation also attracts a high risk population that sometimes has secrets to hide. i began to be a very to. be human where question but the basic law know enough to use computer no no no to say it all if i was lying when i had tubes over two years old it looks like it's part of the bricks but it actually is what i miss in a blue faina make it look like i'm doing hair on the sun. you know i have the
