interestingly enough though misty international was russia is real south korea and the us indicated an annual meeting of the convention of conventional weapons. in november twentieth that they would not support negotiations for a new treaty that would ban these items what. is real so crude us it's pretty incredible and when you look at public support most countries the we won't support this but i'm. publics actually against their own leaders you know generally and even here in the united states are you looking at the poll shows that the states blocking a ban on killer robots are totally out of step with public opinion government should be protecting people this is from russia. the acting director of amnesty taki said about government should be protecting people from the myriad risks that killer robots and i think what this is is that we're using this idea of this killer robots killer robots or drones and the thing is what made them how little ball of a cell was we're taking people out of the equation it's just a machine and then american lives are russian lives aren't heard north korea

are autonomous weapons frighten most of the some of the top nations in the world including russia south korea and of course the united states of america recently blocked a move that the united nations to potentially ban the use of these these new improved weapons. the greedy warlike nature of a few once again winning out over the many desire for peace so today let us ask ourselves are we hard wired for war or hard wired for peace as we hard wire robots for war and start a brand new chapter in watching the hawks. but you get the sense like i realize that this was. as good a part of. the day like you that i got. the police. this. week sank. the world we're going to watch the arc so i am i robot to run and have the wallace and the against killer of are you against killer robots i'm not i'm not a fan of acrylic. it's a look of punk band killer robot i would i would probably buy their album but i don't want to have i don't want to log on you know i never thought that i'd be sort of the pure there's. been this conversation with you about killer robots like these it's one of those things that like y

new thriller to say should cox and this allows him basically to turn to partners like russia or china or even south korea and potentially bring them on board as a major part first should things fall through with washington so has anything concrete unmeasurable been achieved since kim jong un and donald trump's historic summit last june. well we've seen a fair amount of injured korean projects between north and south korea going forward there's been far less progress between the united states and company several high level talks been cancelled and yet to be rescheduled in his speech kim as you mentioned says that he wants to meet we don't trump again in the new year and trump has said that he is also interested in that and so what this what many will be looking for out of that summit will be specific some kind of agreement that both sides can work towards in the future that they didn't get in their last summit . until north or to say they suspect a car attack shortly after midnight on new year's day he was motivated by his then a phobia the fifty year old suspect is said to have driven a car into a group

year's speech yesterday is to drive a wedge among what is a fragile alliance, the united states, russia, south koreanctions on north korea and also kim jong-un would like as he stated clearly to refrain from military exercises. he is saying ease up on the sanctions, no more military exercises as pre-conditions for negotiations taking place. >> sandra: also with this warning in that new year's day speech he said, quote, if the u.s. does not keep the promises it made in front of the world misjudges the patience of our people and forces a unilateral demand on us and continues with sanctions and pressures on our republic, we might be compelled to explore new ways to protect ourselves and establish peace and stability on the korean peninsula. that agreement did not come up without a stern warning. >> right. and that is the key. that's at the heart of the disagreement i would say is that north korea wants denuclearization of the entire korean peninsula which implies withdrawal of u.s. forces and nuclear umbrella. for us we want denuclearization of north korea. we've season bolton and pompeo with hard line

south korea had also impression in russia but not so far in the united arab emirates.ed against the philippines', managed by sven—goran eriksson, but they forced a good save from the keeper. eventually a goal did come and it was the koreans who went in front. this effort was enough to take all three points, with their one tottenham star killed —— sung min to add the cutting edge. people know his talent, his quality. we know as well the influenced that he has in our way of playing. of course that we need in our style, we need players that, in the last metres create and balance the other teams. in the other group game, china had to come from behind to beat kurdistan — are real howler from the goalkeeper allowing the equaliser. and he didn't do much better for the second — equaliser. and he didn't do much betterfor the second — china finishing the game as 2—1 winners. thailand's newly—appointed head coach sirisak yodyardthai got down to the task of lifting the spirit of the players after they suffered a shock 4—1 defeat at the hands of india in their opening match at the

anti-doping agency examined his allegations the revelations that led to russia being banned from last february's games in south korea with the only option being to compete under a neutral black. russian skier alexander was accused of a tampering with anti-doping samples during russia's sochi olympics and was banned from taking part in the following games however in february two thousand and eighteen the court of arbitration for sports overturned the ban saying there was insufficient evidence later that year the i.o.c. appealed the court's decision this appeal to uphold bans on twenty seven athletes was thrown out by a swiss court again just this saturday meaning cross country skier alexander earlier called will really tame his gold medal from the sochi games five years ago christophe we should mention again says that he and his colleagues have proven that roger cossack testimony was false. mostly it is reportedly made. a lot from costly. consultants to. the parents. of. at least and it should be considered as a. separate but it is not it is a community will first class because we. couldn't it's good that. we employ

south america or north america. neighbors arer north korea, south korea, the philippines, japan, indonesia, afghanistan, pakistan, india, and russia. they do not have enough food. 500 million people live in poverty. they do not have a rule of law. they do not have the depth of the transparency of our financial market. they do not have the university system that we have or the innovative culture that we have. they have a long way to go. so the notion that it is automatic success is not right. we should be working with them to make this a better planet for everyone. china has never been expansionary. even going back to thousand years, china was never invading its neighbors. that was not true of most of the european nations. outink it could be worked but it will take serious people working hard. currentmpactful is the slowdown in china? jamie: we had goldilocks in october. 3%. things were looking good with inflation under control. gently.raising rates global growth. and now we have a slowdown. i think it is a slow down as opposed to being on our way to a deeper recession. prior projection was down from 3.5% to about 2.9%. china is pr

and that pentagon review named pyongyang as a major nuclear threat along with russia, china and iran. meanwhile, south koreahey do welcome any agreement between washington and pyongyang after the president met with a top north korean official at the white house yesterday. >> we had a very good meeting yesterday with north korea. that was an incredible meeting. it lasted almost two hours, and we've agreed to meet sometime probably the end of february. we've picked the country, but we'll be announcing it in the future. eric: kitty logan has more live in london. hi, kitty. >> reporter: hi, eric. well, yes, it's a positive response from south korea. the government there says that they hope this will be a turning point with regard to negotiations between the u.s. and north korea. now, today a spokesman for the south korean president says the government will do all it can to support that second meeting. their hope is for a more solid commitment from the north to stop developing nuclear weapons. now, of course, president trump met north korean leader kim jong un for the first time last june in that historic summit

you go to china, their neighbors are north korea, south korea, philippines, japan, indonesia, afghanistan, india and russia. they don't have -- so many people in poverty. they don't have a rule of law. they don't have institution, you have the depth and transparency of this. they don't have the university we have we. they have a long way to go. this notion is automatic success, it's not right. working with them together to make it a better planet for everybody. they've never been expansion. you go back to thousand years, china was never invading its neighbors. that was not true of italy, greece, european nations, that's not the way they are. i think it can be worked out. >> the current slowdown in china. >> it is a slowdown. you had goldilocks, we are going through percent. the feds raised gently. your brain, europe and china, never slows down. it's probably a slowdown as opposed to on our way to a recession. down from three and a half. those are probably production. japan's going in a little bit, china is probably the most serious one. more ramifications for this, china grows to 5%. $600 billion in gdp gr

new killer to say should cox and this allows him basically to turn to partners like russia or china or even south korea and potentially bring them onboard as a major part first should things fall through with washington so has anything concrete unmeasurable been achieved since kim jong un and donald trump's historic summit last june well while we've seen a fair amount of injured korean projects between north and south korea going forward there's been far less progress between the united states and company several high level talks been cancelled and yet to be rescheduled in his speech kim as you mentioned says that he wants to meet we don't trump again in the new year and trump has said that he is also interested in that and so what this what many will be looking for out of that summit will be specific some kind of agreement that both sides can work towards in the future that they didn't get in their last summit yes so each side does appear to be convinced and the other has done little to fulfill previous promises so what do they need to say you know what is to be convinced. well the very basic level th

but there are also jehovah's 117, and in jail, south korea, nine in singapore, over 40 in russia, and 11 in turkmenistan. i want to wrap up and tell you about jehovah's witnesses in russia, because this is what i am talking about when i say the battle continues. there are 175,000 jehovah's witnesses in russia. many are third and fourth generation witnesses. records confirm that jehovah's witnesses started worshiping in russia in 1891. they had legal status for a wild until the russian revolution in 1917, and they were under ba n. from then on, 1917 until 1991, to be one of jehovah's witnesses you could go to a communist gulags like this. literally tens of thousands of jehovah's witnesses lives in siberia because they refuse to relent in their faith. in 19 91 with the collapse of the soviet union, jehovah's witnesses gaines legal status again. during this period, there was a peaceful era for a while for jehovah's witnesses. but the orthodox church when after jehovah's witnesses, and the soviet authorities back to the orthodox church. 2017, jehovah's witnesses were once again banned. fo

discipline north korea and what's happening in the neen timeantime is all the e is unraveling, south korea, russiaunt. he as naive but i thought after the first summit in singapore the entire pacific rim breathed a sigh of relief because the president of the united states told us there's no more nuclear threat coming from north korea. i guess not. now the prospect of a second summit, doesn't this just enhance north korea on the world stage beyond their wildest expectations? >> yeah, the stakes are higher second time around given that first time around as richard was saying not very much was achieved. you can't go into a second summit for just the photo opportunity and the coins and the first time this happened wow factor because it didn't achieve anything. there is no real denuclearization happening. all of our intelligence agencies are showing us that. the chinese are now more goods are flowing into china than they were at the time. if you're going to have a second summit, it's hard for me to see how this is going to accomplish very much more than the first one and yet the expectations are going

it just shows our alliance for sanctions with china and south korea and russia ever so fragile. that. maximum economic gain and giving up as little as possible. dan hoffman, thank you. >> daniel: thank you. >> sandra: championship sunday setting the stage for super bowl liii. not without a little controversy they are. we will break down all the action next. when heartburn hits... fight back fast with tums smoothies. it neutralizes stomach acid at the source. tum tum tum tum tums... smoothies... ...and introducing new tums sugar-free. >> sandra: everybody is talking about super bowl liii. it is all set after a bad championship sunday for the home teams and the officials, by the way. both date -- games going to overtime but punching their ticket to face all-too-familiar new england patriots. let's break down wild sunday, 24/7 oh for unserious radio, what a day it was. what are people telling you? speed to its what state fans must be feeling like, illegal bs may be feeling like and nothing worse than sports than having the outcome and possibly dictated by a bad call come a referee

south korea has done. doesn't mean more towards china , how does it straddle that and then there is an energy component as well where russia is making a play to divide more energy to south korea, possibly building a pipeline from north korea to the south or more collaboration on the peninsula and energy issues. i don't know if congress is paying close attention broadly, and i hope they are, because i think what happens on the peninsula is important for national interest in our alliance with south korea is critical and economic partnerships as well . >> >> thank you for the good question, if i could have you shift to more of an economic focus because one of the big issues that congress will think about going forward is our trade policy with japan, were in a very unusual situation right now with the united states, working very hard to negotiate a very good market access agreement with japan in the context of tpt, we obtain major concessions on tariffs, beef, pork, wine and other products. now, ironically because we pulled out of the agreement, the work we did to negotiate the concessions benefits are competitors. australia i

china, their neighbors are north korea, south korea, philippines, japan, indonesia, vietnam, afghanistan, pakistan, india and russia. they don't have enough food, water and energy. 500 million people living in poverty. they talk about corruption.they don't have the depth and transparency of our financial markets writ large with venture capital, private equity, do not have the university system we have, do not have the innovative culture we have -- they have a long way to go. the notion it is automatic success is not right. we should be working with them together to make this a better planet for everybody. one thing about china, they have never been expansionary. go back to thousand years, china was never invading its neighbors, not true of italy, greece, european nations. that is not the way they are.i think it can be worked out , but it will take serious people working hard on it. >> how serious is the current slowdown in china? mr. dimon: it is a slowdown. october,ldilocks in going at 3% things look good, fed raising rates gently. global growth in japan, europe, china, and now a slowdown. it is probably a slowdow

impose on the other side his own scenario for a sense women's the south korea are really a thorny issue but nowadays it may seeing that russia and japan have never been closer to sorting out the issue vladimir putin and shinzo i call each other friends they need several times a year but these kind of diplomatic couples that really aren't helping the process . trying to reporting that that's how it looks so far this thursday thanks for watching i'm calling brian moscow back with the next update in just over half an hour. when gold make this manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the roaming pluses protect themselves. with the famous merry go round listeners only the one percent. going all middle of the room signals. i mean real news is really. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to the press this is what the four three of them all can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters in the house. last question. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the

pretty lucky if you go to china, their neighbors are north korea, south korea, philippines, japan, indonesia, pakistan, india and russia they don't have enough food and energy they have 500 million people living in poverty. they don't have a rule of law. they don't have the innovative culture we have. they have a long way to go china has never been expansi expansionary china was never invading it ts neighbors. that was not true of italy, greece, most of the european nations. that's not the way they are. i think it could be worked out but it will take serious people working hard on it >> how severe is the current slowdown in china? >> it is a slow down you had global growth in japan and europe i think it's probably a slow down as opposed to on our way to a deep recession even the imf, we'll have global growth down from 3.5 nap was their prior projection japan is growing a little bit. china is probably the most serious one. they owe the money to themselves there's 7 people control the nation quite capable and confident. they say you'll lend to you. you're going to hire people. you're going to build that bridge it kind of

as has been the case in the past that china and russia are more weakly implementing them and turning a blind eye to things in their countries. south koreatively advocating a reduction in the u.s., u.n. sanctions, if notio exem for economic engagement. the u.s. sanctions have not been removed, but the president said there are 300 north korean entities he has not sanctioned. laura: bruce klingner, thank you for joining us. now for a story that may reviett more than a bit -- that may leave u a little queasy. sanitation experts in england say it may take up to eight weekto clean up a giant fatberg, a massive fat created by grease, wet wipes, and other trash. it is the largest of its kind ever found in the area. , a regencyidmouth ide resort where queen victoria played as a child. but lurking beneath the town, a 21st-century reality. >> there is a layer of fat. reporter a sludgy class of wet wipes and sanitary products glued together with tons ofhe kigrease and fat, discovered last month. it has grown over christmas. >> it's the biggest one i have probably about here. reporter: charlie found the fatberg when he was inspecting the sewers with

south korea islands. well all of this is also very interesting because the leaders of russia and japan are real friends now vladimir putin and shinzo abi they meet several times a year and that's why all this discussion has rather escalated now come their friends but there's no peace agreement and there's still this dispute that's why in this context all this is really becoming very difficult their friends but the island dispute still there now the ambassador has been summoned let's see how the rattles some speed on that one million correspond thank you for watching as well as twenty eight minutes past nine at night this is our international programs in your part of the world now. seem wrong. but. just don't. let me. get to shape out this day. and in detroit because the trail. when something is find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . what is happening with trump's decision to leave syria and are you ready for the twenty twenty presidential sweepstakes also is there any integrity in the integrity an issue. this is broadcast around the world and covering the world of film loose in

south korea doesup. does it lean more toward you know, china and belt and road initiative sns how does it straddle that? and then an energy component as well where i think russia is making a play to provide more energy to south korea through a route that would involve possibly building a pipeline through north korea to the south, or you know more collaboration on the peninsula on energy issues. some of these things -- i don't know if congress is paying close attention to it brewedly. there may be some members who are doing so. i hope they are because i think what happens on the peninsula is vitally important for u.s. national interests. and certainly our alliance with south korea is critical from a security standpoint and the economic partnership as well. >> ambassador where do you think japan figures in the national consciousness or with the congress. >> thank you for the question. if i could shift to an economic focus. because i think one of the big issues congress will be thinking about going forward is our trade policy with jpen. we're in a very unusual situation right now where the united states worked very hard to negotiate a very good market access agre

south korea peter we'll bring you the very latest. as well as president has had his opponents at home and abroad with backing from the military and world powers like russia and china but the u.s. and its latin american allies are demanding that nicolas maduro be replaced by opposition leader one way though who's declared himself the interim president and germany is warning that it may also recognize quote i was president of venezuela fails to hold proper elections when the moment will speak to a latin america to tell e.c. and newman who is in computer on the colombia venezuela border but first this report from. one after the other venezuelan regional military commanders took to the airwaves today clearly l.t. to president nicolas maduro saying that the opposition efforts to replace him with the transitional government were an attempted coup. a position reiterated by the country's defense minister bloody by the no. i learned the people of venezuela that a coup is being carried out against our institutions against our democracy against our constitution against our president nicolas maduro the legitimate president of the bully varian republic of venezuela i

era rob mcbride al-jazeera young people island south korea britain's foreign secretary has voiced concern for a former u.s. marine charged with spying in russia paul whelan who holds u.s. u.k. canadian and irish passports was detained in moscow a week ago he's been charged with espionage but the details of not been released when his family says he was visiting russia for a wedding. we are extremely worried about paul whelan. we have offered consular assistance the u.s. are leading on this because he's a british and american citizen but our position is very very clear which is a very straightforward point that individuals should not be used as pawns of diplomatic leverage a private data belonging to hundreds of german politicians including chancellor angela merkel has been published online the leaked information includes home addresses phone numbers and credit card details it's not clear whether they were targeted by a hacker or a victims of an internal league the only political party not affected was the right wing a f d dominic cain has more from berlin. we know that more than nine hundred politicians from almost every party in germany have

north korea developed nuclear weapons and delivery capability, and china had an open door on south china sea, russia took part of ukraine and consolidated part of georgia, that all happened under his watch. donald trump is trying to turn the page on that. maybe we should deter china or not spend some of that money. kennedy: or maybe refocus the force we have in syria in defeating isis in other ways. if the call -- caliphate has fallen apart they have energy and motivation, and they are not as distracted with a giant land mass, wherever they go, it seems like instead of keeping troops in syria, we should be focusing maybe more digitally on the threat they pose? >> you said something earlier, that is family purpose -- fundamentally purpos important s on ideology, they have failed america, they call it violent extremism, it is islamism, political islam, that is the animating force behind the 18 mes as al qaeda and isis and muslim brotherhood, and donald trump did not quite get there in the campaign, he said radical islamic terrorism, better than hillary or obama or jeush joosh, secretarbush did.islamis

you mention that russia is working on rigs and i said this for a while and i wonder what you think that a lot of these countries south korea china at one point they've banned either bitcoin or crypto currency remember a couple of years it was like twenty four different countries some of them very small not much trading anyway and they actually banned the trading of these things and people said oh that's the end i said no no no they're banning it for a reason i think they're banning it because they want to get ahead of that they want to figure out what it is develop the rules and then somehow take advantage of it what do you think i think that's exactly the case they didn't ban it because they didn't like it they banned it because they feared it and they fear the currency outflows in case everybody fled to bake winstar wiring outside of the country when in fact their brand was actually very strategic and very selective it's extremely reminiscent of when china banned google and facebook from china when in turn they developed their own internal by do a search engine and we chat social network so the ban was entirely strategic

south korea about what the two countries can do together. you can have that relationship too if you act. thank you very much. and happy new year. residents of an apartment block in russiaexplosion devastated an apartment building in the urals region. four people were killed in the collapse in magnitogorsk, where it's thought the blast ripped through the first floor, before the seven storeys above then collapsed too. dozens more are missing in subzero temperatures. georgina smyth reports. the homes of 120 people reduced to a pile of rubble. this is the aftermath of a gas explosion in central russia, that ripped through the concrete structure of a nine—story apartment building early on monday morning, when many were still asleep. rescue workers picked through bricks, mortar and tangled metal, desperately looking for survivors. and among the carnage, people's belongings. president vladimir putin flew in to observe the damage, visiting those injured in a nearby hospital. translation: it's 31 december today, the eve of the festivities. unfortunately, such a tragedy took place in magnitogorsk. i would like to express my condolences to the families of the victims, and to assu

russia have such huge fleets of icb be, north korea is a different story. their icbms are primitive. their launch sites are within 50-60 miles of the coast. there are american bases in southan anti-ballistic missiles is pretty primitive. we have the technology today to attack the north koreans both with anti-ballistic missile systems that would shoot down during the assent phase of launch. north korean defense is doable. defense against the russians and china is not doable. liz: there is talk of laser drones. >> this is military 101. but the object is what's called left of launch. to destroy an icbm on a launch pad. north korean missiles are fairly easy to shut down. traps with a laser and drone and classified means to do this. the technology is just beginning to emerge that it can build an effective shield against north korean missiles. liz: we'll be right back. stay right there. investment opportunities firsthand, like biotech. because your investments deserve the full story. t. rowe price invest with confidence. the doctor just for a shot. with neulasta onpro patients get their day back... to be with family, or just to sleep in. strong chemo can put you at risk of seri

russia as part of that at this point. and the chennai thing is a little more complicated -- the china thing is a little more complicated. it is striking, the degree to and, this south korea japan and north korean side has been -- we have not seen anything like this before, so i would expect that to continue. ms. osborne: damare? ms. baker: i definitely think that there could be a change in how the nations deal with north , but i also agree with the fact that i don't see anything happening as far as the six party talks. it is to come together to deal with. that since the u.s. and north korea are on different , the best wayvels in a way this is to -- that includes both south korea and japan, is to discuss what measures they should take that they all would be comfortable with. and i think that it would be a tough position for the u.s. especially with our current administration. buts, like, all or nothing, possibly, not now, but in the beure, there could whereations are actions the u.s., japan and south korea are willing to take things korea cansee if north and to see if they can be credible as well? ms. chnalett-avery: it is dangerous to be in the business of predicting nor

south korea, we're negotiating with europe, the european union, we're negotiat ing with china which is by far the biggest of them all, we're doing very very well. reporter: the american detained in russia -- president trump: we're looking into that. we're looking into that. reporter: [inaudible] president trump: look they have to do what they have to do but many of those workers agree with me and i think frankly, there's been very little of that so far as you know. very very little. okay any more? thank you, everybody. president trump: i don't like hearing this. i have no fun doing this. i was elected to protect our country. that's what i'm doing and presidents before me have all voted for this or many of them and many of the senators that i'm negotiating with right now have voted for this but let me tell you something. they didn't have the guts to do it. just like they didn't have the guts to move the embassy to jerusalem and israel. they didn't have the guts to do things that they should have done. just like they didn't take out isis. just like so many other things. i was voted 306-223 or something like that, by a lot. i was voted to be your president partially because of security. i
