putin's russia at this time and old is even. facing the realities of the air space that they have not does not belong to them it belongs to the international community getting to the heart of the matter they can understand the chinese leadership because he is an enemy of the state of the story on top to how does it. this time. south korea welcomes the u.n. security council's vote to impose more sanctions on the north and calls on pyongyang to stop challenging international peace. hello again i'm peter davi you're watching al-jazeera live from our headquarters
12:01 pm
here in doha also coming up the prime minister of bangladesh visits for injured muslims who fled the country promising not to tolerate any injustice against them plus. the size of the guys have a. british legislation stop pulling out of the e.u. passes its first hurdle in parliament. and on sea and land al jazeera joins a clandestine mission with one of the most elite units in the philippines military . top stories south korea and japan have praised the u.n. security council's decision to impose new sanctions on the north the u.s. did want tougher measures but they were eventually watered down diplomatic out as a james bays has more from the u.n. . this was the result the u.s.
12:02 pm
ambassador nikki haley wanted even though she had to weaken her resolution to get it a unanimous vote by the security council to punish north korea for its latest nuclear test today the security council has acted in a different way today we're attempting to take the future of the north korean nuclear program out of the hands of its outlaw regime china and russia may have voted for the resolution but both said it was only part of the solution the u.s. and south korea they said should stop military exercises and remove the fired missile defense system and there should be new talks new that so it's a big mistake to underestimate this russia china initiative it remains on the table at the security council and we will insist on it being considered you know as well that it's pretty clear that the u.s. had wanted to push through a much tougher resolution this is the text that was voted on by the security council but out as zeros obtained an earlier version that was circulated last week
12:03 pm
by comparing the two you can see the items that the u.s. had to drop to get russian and chinese support the original draft included a total ban of sale of oil petroleum and gas to north korea that was changed to some restrictions on sales it also had included a total ban on hiring and paying workers from north korea the original version also called for a travel ban and assets freeze on the north korean leader and freezing the finances of north korea's national airline one of the u.s. is closest allies says despite the changes this was a strong resolution ambassador you say it's a robust resolution yes it's watered down from the earlier draft and key elements be taken out of what's called negotiation and that's what we do here in the security council there. as a significant prize in keeping the whole of the security council united and that is
12:04 pm
without doubt why the u.s. decided to withdraw items from its original draft the trumpet ministration has very few good options when it comes to north korea but a veto by russia and china would have divided the international community making things even more difficult james outers era of the united nations well the japanese prime minister shinzo our hopes the sanctions will pressure north korea into changing its policies craig leeson has more now from tokyo the sanctions don't go quite as far as the japanese head of hoped for they were looking for full sanctions in a ban a complete ban on crude oil exports in the freezing of kim jong un's assets and certainly that's what they are asked russian president vladimir putin to agree to drink talks in blood of all stock at the eastern economic forum last week that he told by the leader of japan that wasn't possible and he preferred dialogue but this
12:05 pm
goes a long way to meeting that certainly it's middle ground for both sides and they said he was happy in fact he was highly appreciative of the result and that it was a unanimous and rapid vote and said it went a long way to showing that the international community was willing to put pressure on north korea to change its policy this of course means that japan once again becomes a target for north korean vitriol and could in fact be a target once again for missile test launches across the top of the country that has led the japanese government to look at increasing spending on defense and those talks that the defense minister and the prime minister will most likely be having with its allies the united states and south korea in the coming week. bangladesh prime minister sheikh hasina has promised temporary food and shelter to thousands of ranger refugees escaping violence in neighboring me and mom she made those

12:07 pm
a regional power with a lot of economic interest in myanmar to influence me on my own to stop this crackdown stop short of directly criticizing. saying that she is highly influenced by the military government she probably doesn't have much to do with this she also handed out a lot of gave. relief to some of the newly arrived. in the stage to take those gifts and all we'll have to see what comes down the road but the situation in the ground is very fluid and dynamic a lot of refugees are still coming in they need aid and aid and emergency medicine otherwise the situation is going to get critical down the road again to europe demonstrates is a gathering in paris to protest against president emanuel micron's plans to reform the french labor laws is being called a day of action by the main. t. union but don't all unions are actually taking part in the turnout will be an indication of how much opposition president mike moore is facing from the country's

influential workers' unions one of the main reforms would make it easier for medium and small sized businesses to sack stuff. staying in that part of the world a crucial moment in the brics process last night british m.p.'s gave their first approval to a bill that would give ministers power to bypass the parliament and to create new laws the government says it is essential to allow the u.k. to leave the european union smoothly breck's it but as lawrence lee explains the critics are warning it will undermine democracy. oh. there are still those who demand the u.k. remains in the european union but judging by this tiny protests outside parliament increasingly few believe it's actually possible. for the basin votes were just one stage of an enormous process albeit an extremely important one the government wants to hand power to ministers to be able to change e.u. laws into british ones without consulting parliament so many opposition politicians
12:09 pm
say that is a threat to democracy but a notable number who support breck's it voted not with their party but with the government's brecht's it they said must be made to happen i knew it would become precocious and i knew it would be difficult and i knew we would see something of what was saying now which is a rear guard reaction from those people who prefer the european union to make our laws rather than the people of the united kingdom there will be i will fight i'm sure turn this bill into one the ruling conservatives ordered every single m.p. to toe the line even the most passionate pro europeans for me there's no two more fundamental british values than democracy and the rule of law and this bill strikes at the heart of both democracy and the rule of law because it prevents parliament from scrutinizing laws and it prevents the courts from ensuring that ministers only use their powers. for the question is that the government lost the vote it probably
12:10 pm
would have collapsed it didn't so the process moves on it's all enormously difficult. for supporters of brett said the whole point is to make the country more democratic to increase parliamentary sovereignty and yet the complaints is they're doing something profoundly anti-democratic to get there and that's very uncomfortable for many m.p.'s it's also procedural as of yet there is nobody in there offering any clear vision as to what britain is supposed to look like after bricks it in twenty nineteen largely al-jazeera in london. still ahead here on al-jazeera assessing the damage in the u.s. state of florida where officials fear a humanitarian crisis and the aftermath of hurricane. plus volkswagen sees the future and it's not petrol or diesel.

12:18 pm
members of the coalition landed on that so-called black list under intense pressure the secretary general at the time bond he moon relented and pulled the saudi led coalition and its members from that list he didn't came under much criticism and he in turn criticized the saudis and their allies for putting the pressure and not taking responsibility for their conduct in the battlefield now there's a new secretary general antonio good at it and he is facing the same pressure to put the saudi led coalition on this blacklist one thing that isn't being discussed is whether the united states is lobbying on behalf of the saudis and the other coalition members to not be involved in this blacklist however earlier this year when the u.s. president donald trump met with saudi leaders at the time there were promises made that they would be much more careful in their air war against the who these and
12:19 pm
others affiliated with them in the civil war in yemen will course. we'll have to wait to find out when the final report comes out whether antonio contenders gave in to this pressure from the saudis and their allies or whether he is listening to human rights organizations and trying to hold people accountable for their conduct during war time. receiving an education is out of reach for millions of child refugees around the world that's according to a un report on the lives of school aged refugees between five and seventeen children are supposed to receive two hundred days of schooling a year but the study found that three and a half million child refugees didn't get a single day of schooling in twenty sixteen just sixty one percent of child refugees go places in a primary school now that's in comparison with ninety one percent of children not living in war and famine zones the situation's worse for teenage refugees the study

12:21 pm
to bring in our guest scott craig he's a spokesperson for you and h.c.r. here in lebanon that this is actually a good place to be to actually talk about this so there could be all kinds of barriers it could be the cost of education because public education is free for the costs associated with education getting your kids to school getting close buying supplies meals etc it could be issues to do with children working to support families who have no source of income there are other issues such as children physically not being able to get to school and take the bus and many of those could be bullying it could be any number of things we're here in order to show you one of the one of the projects we support which is called the homework support group and here is the set i mean kids have been working over the summer today they're actually working on their language skills because these are syrian refugee kids educated to beginning their education at least in syria often in our here in lebanon of the language of instruction in public schools english and french so
