or not there is war whether or not donald trump which is decide to do so ok himself let me bring in sumi terry you were in the cia back in two thousand and two charles mentioned the axis of evil speech when north korea was added to iran and iraq are very late stage do you think that's where it all went downhill from there with this predates two thousand and two days because the north korean quite a nuclear crisis really began in only nine hundred ninety s. so that's way before president bush ever uttered the words axis of evil but i don't want to necessarily sort of going to the blame game because this is we're still we are where we are and where we are is north korea is close to completing the nuclear program completing the nuclear perfecting the nuclear arsenal with two intercontinental ballistic missile test and all six nuclear tests and united states still have very low. options to do something about this but in terms of axis of evil speech i don't think it's it was unfortunate i'm not happy the president whichever of those words but i don't think that's the reason for where we are w

before we get there i am a journalist i do like blame games let me bring in charles lou in beijing sumi terry mentioned earlier want to pinpoint where if you had to point the finger at a single factor person issue for blame which a lot of people would do is out of you sure. i think the blame really has to be shared. just looking at what the president trump has been saying or going back to bush calling axis of evil the process was actually positive for quite some time until. i think the kim family saw what happened to that the other members of the axis of evil i don't think what happened in iraq or libya really lent them much confidence to what potentially could happen to them if the u.s. continued its policy of regime change in countries with countries that they don't like let me put your regime point regime change point to suit me every time there's any kind of talk of north korea giving up its nuclear weapons program its nukes etc etc the north koreans publicly repeatedly point to iraq and libya as examples of what happens to a country that can't defend itself when the united states w

that was lara, and before her sumi das in california. that's for this week.throughout this week and every week. thank you for watching and we will see you soon. hello there. some of us has had some blues and i and sunshine to stop a lot of cloud around, particularly across southern, western scotland and north—west england as you can see from this weather watchers picture." and offer the odd spot on two of drizzle. a beautiful afternoon in kent. we've also potentially got 20 celsius in the south east as well. not too bad for some of us. cloud thickening to the west, a weather front arriving tonight. that will continue to bring in outbreaks of light and patchy rain. low cloud and murk in the west. further east, not as cold on sunday morning. some decent styles of sunshine from the word go. the second—half of the weekend, a west and east divide. eastern scotland, central and eastern england staying dry and will probably stay like that. the weather front slowly pushes its way east and brings rain. some heavy. i had a bad, some of the rain turning to the south—wes

that was laura and before that sumi das in california. that is for this week.out this week and every week. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. hi there. yesterday, we had two types of weather through the afternoon. for a number of places, northern ireland, scotland, northern england, it stayed rather cloudy. this was one scene in buttermere, in cumbria. other places had glorious sunshine. good parts of southern england, and the midlands, and into wales had the best of that. where the sunshine came out, it became warm, with temperatures up to 21 celsius. that is 70 in fahrenheit. notably, across scotland, around the moray firth, temperatures were about six degrees above average for this time of year. looking at the weather, as we start the day today, we have a band of rain pushing east. as it does so, it will bump into high—pressure across scandinavia and europe. so it will be a slow—moving front. quite often, it will be weak as well. starting with a band of rain to start the day for western scotland. damp in northern ireland, and spits and spots of ra

that was laura and before that sumi das in california. that is for this week.ery week. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. hello there. whilst eastern parts of the uk will hang onto sunny weather on the whole we will have more cloud. temperatures will still be above average for the most part. this was yesterday whereas you can see across the uk we had temperatures and it 4 degrees above average so temperatures and it 4 degrees above average so it felt quite warm. it will if anything be a bit warmer today with the sunshine in the east. even where we have the cloud and rain temperatures will be averaging a little bit above because of the southerly winds. we have seen the cloud piling in. the weatherfront is bringing its rain already. we will see it prepping up as we go through the afternoon. we have had some sunshine ahead of it for the midlands, for example, but i think here we afternoon will bring a lot more cloud. we hang on to the sunshine in the east of scotland and northern england but it will be a different day further west. in fact, the rain cou

sumi das has been meeting the science and tech experts who are trying to pinpoint pollutants.n. inside is a minilab from environmental sensor start—up aclima, that monitors air quality. we mounted this system onto the street view camera platform that has both meteorological and inlets. this is where we actually sampled the gas and pollution as we are driving along. for one year, two street view cars, souped up with aclima attack, crisscrossed west oakland, california, roughly 12 square kilometres, bordered by freeways and home to a bustling port and families. 37,000km and some serious number—crunching later, researchers had this detailed pollution map. steven hamburg, of the environmental defence fund, a partner in the project, explains how. you need fast response instruments that are collectin data every second. and then you need the analytical capability to actually use that data to actually map it in a way that's just characterising that local spot. each dot represents around 30 metres. the colour represents air quality — the darker the dot, the dirtier the air. red dots cl

being put forward from both sides and to ascertain what really happened there and who is to blame sumi das and just across from that region in bangladesh a lot of refugees are sheltered in camps and you visited them what have you been seeing there. the situation in those camps is absolutely chaotic there are more and more people coming in every day and they're all heading to those makeshift many of the makeshift refugee camps where they hope to find shelter where they hope to find aid but but it's very difficult for them because the aid that's coming in isn't sufficient for before that massive number of people that is come in over over and over the last few weeks more than four hundred thousand have a look at this report. they keep on coming. more than four hundred ten thousand refugees from me and mark have already crossed the border into bangladesh and no one knows how many will still arrive. in the camps the situation is already at a breaking point. food water shelter everything is scarce here. many of the eight deliveries are organized by private bangladeshi citizens. but. if we do

that was laura and before that sumi das in california. that's it for this week.and every week. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. if you have seen the sunshine today you will have had some warmth, and that probably applies to most of eastern england. a beautiful picture sent from north lincolnshire earlier today. the reason for the warmth of the light breeze coming from the south—east bringing milder airfrom the near continent, 23 degrees the expected high. but not for all. a fairamount of expected high. but not for all. a fair amount of cloud and a weather front bringing rain, although fairly erratic, heavy bursts at times, mostly in scotland as you can see, a fairly grey and gloomy affair for argyll. that drifts east and at times brings heavier bursts through scotla nd times brings heavier bursts through scotland into central and southern england overnight. behind it it will turn murky close to the coast of wales and south—west england with patchy fog, maybe dense fog developing into northern ireland first thing in the morning. worth bearing in mind

that was laura and before that sumi das in california. that is for this week.and every week. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. hi there. it's been over a week now since hurricane maria devastated the island of dominica and puerto rico, in the caribbean, leaving more than a0 people dead. many still remain missing. since then, the hurricane has been working just past the east coast of the united states. it is a weak hurricane now, a category1 storm now, but over the next few days it could come closer to home. it is going to work northwards, getting tangled up with low pressure. not a hurricane, but the remains of maria could be heading our way through sunday night and into the early hours of monday, potentially bringing wet and maybe windy weather to the north—west of the uk. that's a way off. before we get there, this is how we start the day on thursday. a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain left over from the night—time system. but it will be a mild start to the day, as well. that rain band still with us, then, across north—eastern scotland, with a fair

i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us we have a daniel schweitzer as well here from the german council on foreign relations because french president manuel mccall is set to deliver a key speech on his vision for the european union in a few moments a crowd has been gathering at the sorbonne university where he will soon speak he is expected to call for more cooperation on money matters and on terrorism and we will have a live coverage of that address by the french president we're just waiting for him to take the podium there in there said this is a speech that has been long awaited because mental mccaughan campaigned on a promise to reform the e.u. but he has been waiting until after the german elections to unveil his proposals let's talk about what to expect with daniela schwarzer from the german council on foreign relations as we said and we also have our correspondent. catherine martin standing by for us in paris with some analysis that catherine if you can hear me and let's start with you a man of mccoy's expected to a call for reform out what are people there anticip

so migration and the plight of refugees sumi how much of a role did this and playing in the campaigns of the first part is in the last month or so we did see that it played a fairly large role in discussions overseeing the political discussions for the main parties also in the t.v. debate that we saw between the two main candidates migration and germany's refugee policy did play a prominent role and if you look at the polls also migration immigration seems to be one of the biggest issues driving voters but funny enough we actually had the chance to go on the road before germany was really in the election mode and at that point when we got to talk to voters about their day to day concerns migration wasn't one of them and that seems to be something that's really been driven by politics ok you paid a visit to the smallest of germany's sixteen states the city state of braman braman is struggling economically you looked at the issue of poverty there we have a clip from your visit there let's take a look cut you have to quit working due to health problems the taxes and deductions added up w

it's great to see you again, sumi. we are constantly are seeing you now given all the things happening in north korea, yet again a guest on the show, so tell me the reaction to the latest missile test heading over to japan. overall, takeaways from this. what message is north korea trying to send? >> we have been expecting this, so it's not a surprise, but i think north korea is trying to say, hey, we are not going to cave under international pressure, under u.s. pressure. they reacted negatively after the last u.n. national security council regulations. so they want to show they are not caving under pressure. as you guest said, they also want to remind everybody that, yes, they do have a missile that can hit guam. so i'm afraid that we're going to expect more of these tests to be forthcoming. probably even in contental ballistic tests. >> there's a lot of calls for tight anything the screws against north korea. we have seen two missile tests, the test of a nuclear bomb, what diplomatic options are left? what else does

sumi teri is a former analyst with the cia. doctor, what do you make of the information, the latest piece is coming out of the announcement from the north korean government that, yes, they were able to successfully test a hydrogen bomb. they've made this claim before but it was not verified. >> well, i would not be vised if they did. but it could also be an exaggeration, it could be a normal nuclear test. either way, if it's not a hydrogen test, they will get there very soon. in terms of options, we have the same limited options. north korea is bent on completing a nuclear program, bent on perfecting nuclear arsenal. so i would not be surprised -- right before i went to bed, before i woke up, the last thing i tweeted -- [ no audio ] >> dr. terry, if you can hear me, it sounds like your cell signal is a little raspy. i don't know if you can move to another location where you are at right now so we can get better -- we'd really like to get your perspective, being a former analyst for the cia. dr. sumi terry is on the phone right

dot com sumi is with you next hour with another fulton of news thanks for watching . the whole d w one out. for in focus global insights the news out of your local heroes. d.w. made for mines. for europeans timbuktu was long a mysterious place in the middle of nowhere today it is the scene of a battle to save an endangered cultural heritage the history of this ancient trading center the gateway to the desert is still in evidence here. at the same time the city also seeks to maintain its connection to the modern world in its heyday back in the fifteenth and sixteenth century timbuktu was one of the intellectual centers of the arab african world precious collections of manuscripts contained all the knowledge of the time that knowledge still lives on in. morris' family libraries. these treasures were threatened when in april twenty twelve jihadist militia occupied northern mali and timbuktu subjecting people there to tyranny. and destroying their sacred mausoleums the historic documents were in immediate danger. a unique rescue mission to save the manuscripts began. for

joining us now on the phone is former cia senior north korea analyst sumi terry.o let everyone know, crossing on twitter, north korea says it will make a special announcement coming up at the top of the hour. but that's expected coming up very soon. we want to stay tuned for that. what might we expect to hear from north korea. some confirmation this is a nuclear test and maybe some other assertions? >> absolutely. they said they have successfully conducted this nuclear test and they reported on it as they normally do. i went to bed an hour ago and the last tweet of the day because it would be within an hour. robert: you dropped out. >> north korea was going to conduct nuclear test very soon. i didn't know it was going to be this soon. but it was expected by north korea watchers. this was entirely expected. robert: there have been assertions by some of our guests saying today was basically a dig at the u.s. with president trump calling for a day of remembrance in texas after the flooding there. do you think this was the intent of the regime and it was timed accordi

well sumi look for the reform agenda for the year and for trump's reform agenda. for the handle of the russian upper house of parliament as an international affairs committee said russia cannot participate in this proposed reform as mr trump's proposal would support american idea of uni polar world with a clear leading role of the united states in this unique world russia would rather support he said multipolar world with a strong role over again which might be also publicly through sunni keeping in mind how many you envisage lucian's russia blocks whether in terms of north korea or syria or libya or other international conflicts right now our correspondent in your ear in moscow and cared much for us in brussels i thank you both very much for your insights and we're going to continue our coverage of the story coming back to our guest here with us in studio nicole rendered from the german council on foreign relations nicole i want to get your take on one of the points we just discussed with your insurer which is donald trump's words on fighting terrorism and what t

. >> sumi, if this has reached a level which they're talking about specifically detonating a hydrogen bomb over the pacific ocean, this war of words continues to escalate, but the threats themselves continue to escalate as well. where does it put us in terms of this crisis? >> not a good place. but i do agree with what gary just said. they hinted at it, but it doesn't mean they're actually going to do this. a lot of things the north koreans can do and i do agree probably intercontinental ballistic test is next step. but or even a [ inaudible ] a lot of other things the north koreans can do. but i do think, you know, when i saw mr. trump's speech at the u.n., i knew that this was going to be very counter productive. north koreans have to act and react and i've been following north korea for many years and i have never seen a statement like this. this is very personal statement first person, kim jong-un, he -- this is very personal. he has to act domestically, too, to show to the elites and his populists he's not caving to u.s. pressure. >> i hear you both say skepticism is the key word

. >> sumi terry, talk about how donald trump's language is heard and received and translated in the north. >> well, first of all, i agree with everything that general just said. of course, north koreans took everything president trump said extremely personally. it was obvious when kim jong-un, himself, came out with an unprecedented statement, personal, first person, wrote that whole statement, calling trump dotard and so on. now that kim jong-un has taken this very personally, he has to react so i'm afraid that he has to continue with the provocations and probably maybe an intercontinental ballistic missile test. oost one that's forthcoming because as the general said, kim jong-un cannot ain order to look weak. he cannot afford to look like he's caving under trump's pressure. so i'm afraid that trump's rhetoric, increased rhetoric, has been i think counterproductive in trying to decrease tension. >> general mccaffrey, with your answer to this question, i am actually hoping to scare people out of the normalization of this as a topic because this has come down to a game. i fear people are

street and the banks and i quote he said which must be dealt with as you can see in his last tweet now sumihere's the twist there are over three point four million puerto ricans living on this island and all of them of course are american american citizens was that you said that people have been angry at what they say is an insensitivity on behalf of the president how have they been reacting. well what we're seeing online is a lot of frustration over how they have dealt with the crisis how the american government has dealt with the crises and politicians like former presidential candidate hillary clinton have called directly on the government to do more and to do it quicker she tweeted president trump secretary mabus and department of defense should send the navy including the u.s. navy seals comfort to perth to recruit now these are american citizens she stresses and a lot of international stars are also using social media to raise awareness about the recovery in puerto rico and one of them is actress and a pop star jennifer lopez she posted this video on instagram where she talks about ho

and sumi one of their messages was also quite clearly anti migrant anti immigration anti islamic on how big a factor was that stance where you are so you have to say that that definitely did play a role we don't have any polls from last night yet but if you look at the last regional elections here in the state of mecklenburg west pomerania last september where the f.t. also won around twenty percent of the vote fifty six percent of the people who said they voted for a.s.d. did so because of the refugee crisis so that is a significant number it is a picture is because surely in itself received only between one thousand five hundred and two thousand refugees since the year two thousand and fifteen since the refugee crisis started in germany but we did speak to one man yesterday who cast his ballot for the eighteen and told us he's never met a refugee he avoids speaking with refugees who just want to make sure that they don't enter germany so sami this support for the a.f.p. doesn't seem genuine i mean you've been throughout the country you've been talking with many people does it seem as

thinking, i've never lived in a beach house, so i don't know, but i do have the feeling now -- and sumi you said today, many of you must have heard your young hosts say that he took -- or his government took the words of the president of the united states as a declaration of war. when is the last time you heard a country's foreign minister say that your president had declared war on his country? and if you didn't get the significance of that, he then went on to say that that would mean that even over international waters, we might shoot down american aircraft, which he knows and you all should know, we have flown for the first time in a couple decades, north -- you know, this is a bomber, b 1 with fighter escort, north of the 38th parallel, and let's have another martini. i mean, there's no -- i have not heard the words -- some people in this audience will recall them from 1994 when we got a blistering cable in from -- it's known in the state department as the luck laney cable. that was general luck and ambassador laney. sent in a cable essentially asking whether we in washington were n
