the president calls for military action against cuba i do ballistic missile which says an angry rocket man hater of north korea made a choice yesterday with explaining their intentions to incentives to destroy the north korea as the council meeting. rony in recent months melody's the missiles believed to be north korea the rocket fired on a standard path it could reach including any part of the u.s. paid for research and development south korea will address that planning sees a blatant threat that they will not leave unanswered. i . russia and china have called for the maneuvers to be pause numerous times and light 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 and while north korea is attracting global condemnation some believe washington is making matters worse we heard from gregory l.h. from the advisory board of the korea policy institute. if united states were 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 the 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. if former bosnian

croat general who fought in the bosnian war in the early one nine hundred ninety s. committed suicide during a un court session at the hague on wednesday now just a bit of when you were about to show you video of what happened and it does contain some distressing images will. still. be said don't. let them. over. has taken poison. his trial as part of the international criminal tribunals well or the former yugoslavia the incident took place right after the ex commander lost his appeal slobodan probably 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 but help to his death in the one nine hundred eighty s. relations among the republics quickly deteriorated with each of them seeking their own independence as soon turned ugly on 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 manage thing 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 bosnia and herzegovina army forces in the school on a massacre but an orthodox church in the cemetery but the ground. overall despite much evidence of war crimes conducted similar tenuously 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 later 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 the boss and me. to this day the un special court is still investigating war crime cases from the

conflict. it total of one hundred sixty one people have been inundated 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 time of those jail terms serbian authorities suggesting nearly fifteen hundred years were given to its nationals that's in contrast to three hundred for croats in just five excuse me fifty years for the other former yugoslavia republics however the un court has it never investigated nato's involvement in the war including the use of depleted uranium munitions and 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 the duran dot com says the tribunals 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. in mainly at the instigation of the western powers out at a time when the western powers criticizing serbia and its government and the people the serbian people have balls 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 but emanuel micron's proposal is drawing wide criticism as the previous 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 we're 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 outside call it as long as it is a failed state the problem will come back as a failed state because the regime of coffee talk was not the mice regime but he

says that was destroyed by the french and the british together in two thousand and eleven. and here is how the modern slavery problem is spread around the world africa comes out worse than seven point six people per thousand 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 trafficking it lists the country as a destination and transit point for men women and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking we asked the vice president of the libyan presidential council for his views on the plan for military action. we. are going to be out but no. we cannot accept anything. to be done with the prison libyan libyans would be the one who'll do it. with the help of the lord to come up. with way to help them we're going to

do the right investment on that country for you know libya is not the country for you know democratic libya is a country of iran we as a libyan have already invest in africa and we want to see anybody local they were going to be first but their country of origin and to help this immigrant to stay with their loved ones would get from. the thirty two nations competing in the fifo world cup in russia next summer discovered their opponents on friday as the draw was made for the group stage here's how the eight groups look on june fifteenth for russia will face saudi arabia at moscow's newly refurbished allusion to stadium and group b. meanwhile as he's perhaps most anticipated tie of the round put pitting rivals portugal and spain against each other and then that will happen and such as russia will also welcome the smallest country ever to qualify for the world cup that would be iceland and they will be playing argentina we caught up with some of the

managers taking teams into the tournament. think 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 being seen as one of the best generations of belgian football has ever had. we have this because we know everything about them so. i think that game will capture of what he's imagination at home we feel an exciting to 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 really 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.

go straight to the next round. we will 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 be a great event and 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 first batch went on general sale ahead of the draw. as supporters that got the chance to sample the atmosphere at some of the world cup venues earlier this year at the confederations cup.

we would so much. we thought maybe the like going to bad you don't think they were still like. the. world or the world. the christmas market in the german city of potsdam was evacuated on friday after a suspicious device was found police said it was packed with cables batteries and nails but that it did not appear to be a viable explosive despite that though the brandenburg state interior minister said

that it was a successful attempt to spread fear this comes almost a year after a terrorist a drove a truck into a berlin 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 are two public zero 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 steal 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 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 though is you feel a bit more cipher seeing the police knowing that they were top 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 choop 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. pretty boy coati london. and estimated twenty thousand people rallied in tel aviv on saturday calling on israel's leader to resign over corruption allegations. so-called march of shame was triggered by a controversial draft along its past that would prevent police from publishing findings on to criminal investigations and prime minister. as well as making recommendations to prosecutors demonstrators held up signs reading shame and prime

minister netanyahu has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing claiming that the bill is a political weapon against the government but protesters say they intend to keep up the pressure until forced from office. i think the time has come for a change of government to government is corrupt we're sick of the corruption. we have a corrupt government that needs to be brought down as possible to try to minister ne. to defend democracy and. to build a more equal society for everyone. the israeli prime minister is under investigation in two separate corruption cases and one is accused of receiving bribes from wealthy businessmen and the other he is suspected of reaching a deal with a newspaper in order to secure favorable coverage now we asked a senior correspondent at israel's parents a 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 not to me that. is more about the outcome of the police investigation. but certainly there is this sense in laws circles in these that the upper echelons are in fact that with the corruption legislation. i would say one. very critical of course to be the big. did but it is seen by by most of the protesters at just as the tip of the iceberg not as the issue. as a whole or fifty is important for the public to be aware of the police having collected all the evidence and way to what day think and if they think that the 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 ebb of. prime ministership because politically he has been secure in power until. criminal cases started to close around him. r.t. america had its press accreditation in the us congress revoked on wednesday here's the letter we received informing us of the decision it says the decision to withdraw credentials was taken unanimously by the congressional press office it came in response to the networks forced to registration as a foreign agent in america now at the time the state department said that it would not affect the channels freedom to operate in the states when the united states

tells someone she register under a foreign agent requirement we don't see impacts or a fact the ability of them to report. news and information we just have the 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 our j o o no they're all foreign agent very 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 to the o s e said that it demonstrates how foreign agents status affects media freedom the president of the international federation of journalists told us

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 withdraw the. us effectively you cut. the media from sources of information which is it which has a name censorship in our ethical rules we have 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 a 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 reacted several times in the past to an r.t. and other media or. we cannot accept that the media and join the list are used in kind of a duty to a war between the united suitor and moorish

a journalist or a journalist they're not agents. the crypto currency bitcoin has been hitting record highs the price of one coin is now above eleven thousand dollars now that is up from a thousand at the start of the year is a quick look at how the technology works. for.

earlier my colleague we discussed the risks of investing in big going with financial host max kaiser and economics professor steve. it's such a huge right across encourage people looking at the ceiling of go to be there the entry cost is certainly less than buying a house and hoping the house model appreciate so people are dogging in because the process is rausing but that's one of the definitions of a bubble it quiets not a bubble the us 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've got the dollar that is crashing in a hyperinflationary crash against bitcoin isn't there a really strong argument that it's being used speculatively as a store of value but actually way can you actually use a bit going don't to many places in the come on the you can actually spend it and isn't there a danger when people realize that the pony can sell the story value it's being 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 pick on you can buy high end properties went bad point 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 boil those things with it you'd be immediate to buy those things now because if you wipe ten weeks you can botch washes many or three charms as many so it's a process to stabilize now my worry is when it stabilizes what will happen to that process i don't think it's going to necessary reach the stratosphere one hundred thousand dollars and then stay there if you get to the stage where the only returns you're getting out of big coin mounting 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 mother lode it's still taking over the global finance in this way but if

you have 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 you know 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 h.s.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. doesn't for me i'll be back in about thirty two minutes with another look at your weekly you are watching r t international live from moscow.
