well you know son sam i was never put a file been looked at differently because i'm darker than all the people but i'm a lot this is a dialogue between us but hostile a.j. streams and one of your pitches might make a connection join the global conversation. this time on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. alone has i'm sick of this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes north korea rejects the latest u.n. sanctions and warns the u.s. will face what it calls the greatest pain ever. iraq's parliament says no to this

month's kurdish referendum for independence. the prime minister of bangladesh promising to help arrange a muslims who fled the country but calling on myanmar to take them back and i'm sana hamas with the sports as a big time cricket is said to turn to pakistan for the first time since two thousand and nine and tight security a world eleven has arrived in lahore for a pivotal event in the country's sporting history. oh north korea has rejected the latest united nations sanctions it condemned the measures saying the us is fired up for a political economic and military confrontation north korea's envoy to the u.n. accuse the u.s. of being obsessed with trying to reverse its development of a nuclear weapon security council unanimously approved new sanctions on north korea

to restrict oil imports and banned textile exports the resolution is in response to pyongyang six and strongest nuclear tests earlier this month. kathy novak has more from so this was the result the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. wanted even though nikki haley had to weaken the resolution to get it a unanimous vote to punish north korea for its latest nuclear bomb 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. at a u.n. sponsored conference on disarmament in geneva north korea's ambassador said his country also known as the d.p. r. k. condemned the sanctions in the strongest terms the d.p. r. k. is ready to use any form of alchemy to me. the

forthcoming measures by d.p. r. k. will make the us suffered the greatest pain is never experienced in its history before the vote in new york celebrations in pyongyang for the scientists developing the north's nuclear bomb and missile technology you wanted to see among the recent hydrogen bomb test which we conducted was the beacon of our great might demonstrating death to the u.s. and confidence a victory to the north koreans. the u.s. and its allies hope the added pressure on north korea's economy will force the government to stop its nuclear and missile testing and return to the negotiating table. and. it is important to put in our present a level of pressure on north korea to make a change its policies. cunny gyptian went north korea should realize on its own that its reckless challenge against international peace would only result in more powerful sanctions from the international community. but the approved sanctions are

not as stringent as those proposed in an earlier draft u.s. resolution obtained by al jazeera 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 a measure that would have mainly affected china the original version also called for a travel ban and as it's for use on the north korean leader kim jong un and freezing the finances of north korea's national airline choreo air the watered down version was a resolution china and russia could support sending a unified message from the international community the question now is what north korea will do next south korea's defense ministry says it's closely monitoring activity at the north's nuclear research center which is ready for another test at

any time the government here also says the north could be preparing for another missile launch kathy novak al jazeera soul let's cross now to this kimberly halkett in washington so kimberly any further reaction from the u.s. on this. well it still is very early here in washington people still waking up to finding out about the news of what happened at the united nations security council i can tell you we're watching the white house very carefully where the president will be meeting with his national security adviser he has a meeting scheduled with the secretary of state before welcoming the malaysian prime minister but certainly the message from nikki haley the u.s. ambassador see a nice united nations very strong in terms of the u.s. position and that is the message to north korea that it needs to end its provocative behavior and that there is a very strong hope that it will begin to talk resume talks and choose a different path they hope that this is sort of the clear and an ambiguous message

that the united states is sending will be received it doesn't appear that has been the case leaving the united states in a bit of a difficult spot given the fact that donald trump certainly made over the summertime in july and august very strong messages on social media and also in person saying that in fact if north korea continue down this path that it would be met with fire and fury from the united states that it had never seen and certainly there was for a time some optimism here in washington the fact that message had been received that the threat against the law had been temp down somewhat but that assessment apparently premature because of course we have had a further test now we do know that in fact there is also going to not just the white house be further discussions but also on capitol hill there is expected to be a meeting on the house of representatives side to discuss what further measures to take which may even include some action towards china is an effort to sort of push

china even further to exercise its economic muscle to try and rein in north korea from the standpoint of the united states kelly thanks for that kimberly how long it first there in washington will joining me now from boston all of our skype is jim walsh he is a research associate at mit security studies program so i want to ask you first of all what effect just broadly speaking do sanctions really have been in situations like this. well broadly speaking in international security sanctions are tough subject to do research on but if we were going to generalize we'd say they're useful about a third of the time which means they fail two thirds of the time and i think certainly the track record with respect to north korea is pretty clear. and we've had the strongest ever sanctions bill passed multiple times now and after claiming great victories the north koreans go on to test so i think there's

a basic disconnect the north koreans can test missiles and nuclear weapons faster than the international community can impose sanctions that would impede that and so they're losing that race does that tell us something about the relative strength of the sanctions against north korea because it was reported that the u.s. pushed for something tougher and that's not what they got when you look for example at what happened with iran and the continued sanctions that many would argue that that's what got them to get to the negotiating table and this agreement on their nuclear program. well iran and north korea are very very very different countries iran sold oil in an international market that was its main source of revenue that's not what north korea does most of its trade is simply with one country and that's china so it does it's not as vulnerable to international actions as iran was iran whatever you may think of it it still has elections and the leadership feels a responsibility to iranian voters that is not the case in north korea and so even

if these sanctions were to have an impact and i think they'll have some impact but not very much because of issues of implementation for example and structural barriers but they'll have some impact but you know the first question is are they going to work that's my first concern my second concern is that they will work in so far as if there's any if there's anyone hurt by these it's not going to be chairman kim and it's not going to be the north korean military it's going to be average north korean who suffers the brunt of the sanctions if they are in fact implemented which of course that will only be partially the case could just because you jim walsh in boston thank you now the burden of enforcing some of these sanctions falls on customs officials on the border with north korea adrian brown has that from bandung in china alice before the u.n. vote it was business as usual and then dong a steady flow of empty lorries to north korea cross the single lane friendship

bridge a vital economic come to it for the north. by all the trucks and for a customs yard before heading the other way. there covered cargoes offering few clues of what might be inside. but some trucks appeared to be carrying building materials. experts say because north korea's government is now so hard up china is selling on credit. so the north needs hard cash from wherever it can get it the stirring patrie arctic songs are a feature of one of dandong most popular north korean restaurants inferi new sanctions mean these performers can't be replaced by new musicians from the north the wages of the performers waitresses and cooks are collected directly by the regime a very lucrative source of hard currency what happens as well these restaurant is the people work there. basically all the money is going back or only

a pittance is going to the people who are actually doing the business these are i would i don't say france because they offer real services analysts say that kim jong il knows that china's leaders will not allow his regime to collapse because of what could follow hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring across the border into china swimming across this very river and the prospect of a united and democratic south korea with the possibility of u.s. military bases right on china's doorstep in spite of that risk some chinese people think the government needs to be tougher with their neighbor and should all united together and punish them otherwise they would just do more damage to us not of course north korea should be punished it has a great impact on china north korea is right next door if there is radiation cost by a nuclear test or even a war breaks out it will have tremendous impact on china cutting off the oil that

china pumps underground to north korea from this refinery would have had a big impact but that was a step too far for china's leaders for now they'll continue their push for a diplomatic solution to reign in their old ally. adrian brown al jazeera. iraq's parliament has rejected this month's referendum on independence by the semi autonomous kurdish region campaigning is already underway for the vote on september twenty fifth iraq as well as neighboring turkey and iran opposed the non-binding referendum in non-con has more from below in the capital of the kurdistan region in iraq. where we're all expecting baghdad to say no to the referendum promise to hide a body has been very clear he says he doesn't want this referendum to go ahead so this vote was expected by the baghdad parliament however the kurds members of that palm and they walked out of that vote so they didn't take part in the vote allowing

the arab m.p.'s to vote and say no to the referendum so me who is the speaker of the house says this means that the baghdad parliament must now really negotiate with the kurds for a settlement to this issue president masoud barzani of the k r g has been very clear he wants this to go ahead this referendum to go ahead it's an interesting constitutional dilemma now though because backed out of kurds are part of that it means that if they don't reconvene their own kurdish problem and somewhere around the fifteenth to take a vote on whether the referendum should go ahead on the twenty fifth fixedly puts them in challenge with the decision made by the baghdad polman so now all eyes are on the kurdistan regional government they need to reconvene polman they need to say that they want the referendum to go ahead if they don't do that then they're in violation of that decision made by the iraqi parliament now let's see what happens

there all political factions here in the iraqi kurdish region they say they don't want the referendum to go ahead there is this campaign is called no for now meaning that they want the referendum to go ahead they will vote for an independent kurdistan but not right now they say that the kurdish. politics and all the political parties need to come together so really what we're seeing is a decision that we are always going to expect them to say no however we are now seeing a political constitutional dilemma for the kurds they need to reconvene their parliament a plenty more ahead on the news hour volkswagen sees the future and it's not petrol or diesel bus. the size of the. british legislation to stop pulling out of the e.u. passes its first hurdle in parliament. and the champions league group stages are back in get underway with a contest between two of europe's biggest clubs details later in sport.

head but first bangladesh as prime minister has promised food and shelter to hundreds of thousands of refugees escaping violence in myanmar she visited refugee camps and warned that she would not tolerate violence against. hasn't asked me to take back those who've been forced from their homes fighting began in myanmar. more than three hundred seventy thousand ranger have fled since then. all right against any kind of activities and you know our stunt is very clear. that we will not. stand against any kind of activities.

that we should. act. for women children. and. you know i want to know. who i think. would be. a kind of a cherry has more now from cox is bizarre. prime minister sharon cousin out today visited the official register during a refugee camp cox bazaar she gave a speech there were a lot of rowing refugees old as well as the newly arrival she was very conciliatory and sympathetic to their plight she also hogs the local population to be kind to them enough to harass them in any ways this is far cry from understand then about

a year ago she was very rigid on allying any refugees coming from the myanmar side she was highly critical of the myanmar to regen she warned them that and she also promised that she would bring this up in the united nations session and she is hyped up diplomatic activity is she is also going to pursue red china and india with a regional power with a lot of economic interest in myanmar to influence me and my out to stop this crackdown however she stopped short of directly criticizing unsigned sochi saying that she is highly influenced by the military government she probably doesn't have much to do with the she also handed out a lot of gives and relief to some of the newly arrived rowing who are in the stage to take those gifts and all will have to see what comes down the road that the situation in the ground is very fluid and dynamic a lot of refugees are still coming in the need aid and aid and emergency medicine otherwise the situation is going to get critical down the road again president

robert mugabe has been addressing the parliament in harare that the official opening of the fifth session of the eighth parliament of zimbabwe among several proposals a cyber crime bill is expected to be discussed it criminalizes anyone posting false information on the internet human rights activists worry it'll be used to clamp down on dissent before the twenty eighteen elections. well the trial of a leading zimbabwean political activist who is on trial for inciting violence during a student protest has been postponed for state witnesses failed to turn up everyone . known as the protest passed came to prominence after organizing the largest anti-government rally in a decade in july last year his incitement trial is now delayed until september nineteenth. it's a day of action in france protests underway across the country against president emanuel macross plans to change french labor laws the country's main union called

the protests but not all unions are taking part in the turnout will be an indicator of how much opposition president faces from the country's influential workers' unions one of the main reforms would make it easier for medium and small businesses to sack staff brennan has the latest from paris. labor reform was one of president manuel micron's key election promises and it is a promise he is determined to deliver on september seems to be a showdown month here in france a showdown between the police say the president's office and the unions who are out here on the streets in their tens of thousands. the policies the president wants to push through include for example the ability of companies with fewer than twenty staff to be able to negotiate paying conditions directly with those that instead of having to go to a central you negotiate to board it seems like common sense to many but the unions see it as an unacceptable infringement on diminuendo of their built up in hard for

over so many years the other thing is that the says it today is one of the hardline unions and it is noticeable but two of the other large unions chose not to take part in this day of action so the support is split even among the unions that's the language that the president has used he said that those people who are opposed to. is the force lazy or cynical or extremists that go online which has a tie going to as many people even moderate people opposed to his plans so it looks like it will be a hard fought campaign by the president to get these measures through. a kenyan president who kenyatta has addressed parliament for the first time since last month's election he won the vote but a supreme court judge canceled the poll citing irregularities the electoral commission has set new elections for seventeenth but the opposition says it will boycott the ballot unless certain conditions are met let's go live now to stephanie

decker who is in nairobi so stephanie what's the latest. as you mentioned there he addressed the twelve parliament this is the parliament that was elected in these last election that you just mentioned but basically what unprecedented is that you have a president addressing them opening the parliament you may or know not be the be president or the next thirty three days this is of course we're going to have that vote thirty three days from now can you know if you did address that first he welcomed and congratulated the politicians for being elected and then he said that he strongly disagreed with the supreme court decision that he would respect it because he respected the institutions and the constitution of this country he made some other points one of them particularly referencing that the three arms of government the government here must remain independent independent from any foreigner local interference you also mentioned special interest groups and told politicians to be on their guard to watch out for any of this kind of influence and

you also said gave giving a message that the country despite everything that's going on the governing institutions were functioning and that there was no voice also trying to send a message i think also to the international community that kenya is on track because of course this period of uncertainty the long precedent to times has people have not been here before in kenya trying to say that it is functioning of course has been less investment here tourist numbers are down kenya is heavily dependent on tourism but yes certainly going to have to wait and see very short time thirty three days for that electoral body the electoral commission to organize these elections so yeah we've got this new election then set for october seventeenth what is happening on that front is this a kind of a race against time it. it is a race against time and if you listen to the politicians what they're doing is they're really exchanging insults pointing the finger at each other language that

can be quite aggressive to put it politely also pointing fingers at the electoral commission now this is. really the core of the issue the electoral commission this is the body that is going to have to undertake these elections or first there was a split within that body between the chairman and the c.e.o. wanting answers from the c.e.o. what had gone wrong then the actual president's party saying that well they weren't happy with a new body that's been set up a new project and people that were going to undertake these opposition had issues with them all of this back and forth trying to get ulcers when the real issue is a supreme court decision complicated has but they still have to give their report as to what exactly went wrong in these elections so for all this blame game going on there still hasn't been real hard facts actually of who in the selection body was to blame what technically went wrong etc etc so this is the kind of you know atmosphere we have here when it's a huge challenge and thirty three days to pull these elections off but certainly

the the most recent statement from the electoral commission saying that they are united and that they are going to pull off these elections independently but certainly these are unprecedented times here in kenya all right stephanie deca live for us there in nairobi now we can storm continues to cause damage it's caused flooding in coastal towns across the state of georgia south carolina and florida where it hit the hardest atlanta's main airport the world's busiest has had to cancel hundreds of flights and about half of florida is still without power and the french president emanuel mccrone is in the storm battered caribbean it's been briefed by disaster officials on the island of guadalupe where aid efforts for st martin are being coordinated the dutch french island suffered serious damage from hurricane emma ten people died in the french part of the island and in nearby nearby island of sand barthelemy. now before hitting the u.s. on the cut i posit destruction across the caribbean john home and went to

when there was no. team in. living. as you can see there's lots of clothes. and also food coming in for the government says it's going to take a lot more than three. something approaching normality they're saying that about two hundred million dollars is needed a months of work no government would have enough resources to deal with a situation like this when it happens and we we have to depend on the regional and international agencies to assist them because as you know as the prime minister said it's about the cost of this is only the region of two hundred million u.s. dollars that's a half a billion dollars just chatting to people here this point the shock of everything they've just gone through they're keeping their spirits up those people playing. children playing basketball. but they're also really white. thing here work for me what can they do how can they try to get back in the belonging for how does the job

for livelihood they've left behind apart from last. hour let's get more on his richard base arson you know probably the most fascinating storm system that i've seen in the six years i've been here all the way from its initial development so it develops way back on the thirtieth of august off the cape verde islands as these systems normally do what was interesting about it is that normally need about twenty six and a half degrees of water temperature for the scenes to get going but it formed when the water temperature only twenty three and a half because all the other things in the atmosphere were just perfect low wind shear most no change of wind with height. around and no saharan dust lot of dust coming off as her often inhibits any hurrican development well once again going of course the way it went in the time it reached. it's got to wednesday when it was up to a category five and then the rest of its journey was well predicted but it certainly

stayed as a five for much of time occasionally fluctuating obviously many of these islands hit the full force his spaniel to dodge the bullet hubert salute the hammer and then as it went across towards florida it picked up temporary so far before gradually decreasing now it's still breaking up is nothing more than a tropical depression it's left georgia now. but it still is giving significant amounts of rain we had seventy five millimeters of rain reported in atlanta last twenty four hours you still see the rain hanging around that and let's not forget we still have jose jose is an amazing thing because that's still going it's still a hurricane and that is going to be meandering around the caribbean or certainly close to the caribbean over the next few days so to move on through into wednesday it's still that close enough not to give any direct great impact on the bahamas but you could well find swells and surf and rip currents make it actually quite a dangerous place to be in the short term as. for the remnants of our front no

hello again you're watching the mind of our top stories this hour north korea has rejected a u.n. security council resolution imposing new sanctions they restrict fuel supplies and block pyongyang's text our exports to countries envoy to the u.n. warn the u.s. will soon face the greatest pain it's ever experience. the kurdistan regional governments push for an independence referendum has hit a snag the iraqi parliament has voted to reject it neighboring turkey and iran are also opposed to the non-binding referendum which will be held on september twenty fifth. bangladeshi prime minister she has and has promised to help arrange a muslims who fled to her country from myanmar visited one of the camps housing refugees and said she would not tolerate any violence against. british m.p.'s have

given their first approval to a bill that would give ministers power to bypass parliament and create new laws the government says it is essential to allow the u.k. to leave the european union smoothly but critics are warning it will undermine democracy largely reports from london. 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 say that is a threat to democracy but a notable number who support breck's it voted not with their party but with the governments 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 we're seeing now which is a real reaction from those people who prefer the european union to make our laws rather than the people of the united kingdom and there will be i find 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 abuse their powers. when the question is. the government lost the vote it probably would have collapsed it didn't so the process moves on it's all enormously difficult. for supporters of bret's in the whole point is to make the country more democratic to increase parliamentary solvency 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 brics it's in twenty nineteen largely al-jazeera in london. the saudi led coalition fighting in yemen is being accused of war crimes human rights human rights watch says recent airstrikes carried out by the coalition were unlawful and killed large numbers of children it says twenty six children among thirty nine civilians were killed in five air strikes since june they died when four family homes and a grocery shop were hit an air strike on ties in july killed fourteen members of the same family including nine children the rights bodies says these attacks show coalition promises have failed to protect yemen's children also in jordan has more from the united nations. human rights watch says that the saudi led coalition

carried out more than six hundred air strikes in yemen between june and august of this year of those strikes five of them were fatal we killed thirty nine civilians twenty six of them children human rights watch says that's all the more reason why two things need to happen one the un's human rights council should immediately convene an international independent investigation during its meeting this month to look into alleged war atrocities the other thing is something which human rights watch and other n.g.o.s have called for in the past a relisting of the saudi led coalition on the un secretary general's report on children and armed conflict the so-called name and shame list in two thousand and sixteen the saudi government threatened to withhold funding to the un if any of the members of the coalition landed on that so-called blacklist under intense pressure

the secretary general at the time bonn ki-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 debt ish 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 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 guterres gave in to this pressure from the saudis and their allies or whether he is listening to human rights organisations and trying to hold people accountable for their conduct during war time norway's right wing government has claimed victory in a close election with ninety five percent of the votes counted prime minister ernest sold drugs ruling coalition with the anti immigration progress party are projected to win eighty nine of the one hundred sixty nine seats so wants to cut taxes in a bid to boost growth for the opposition labor party is looking for tax hikes to better fund public services a german chancellor angela merkel's christian democrats are likely to remain the country's largest party that's after elections two weeks from now and it's according to the latest opinion polls there but it is the rise of the economically liberal free democrats that's making news reports. in just over

a week christiane lin may be the king maker of the next government for now his party hopes he's the comeback king because at the last election the f.d.p. was voted out of office and out of parliament for its perceived failings and its then leader's poor performance in the previous coalition government now the f.d.p. is back on the campaign trail with a message of change and an appeal to young voters. that may be just the problem with our politics that many things are being discussed but the real important issues are just added to the closing words the mission of the free democrats is to change that. this will be one. of the standard for the fact it's a competitive rate in the opinion polls can bring up voters to propel the party back into good. because to do that the free democrats will need to win around ten

or eleven percent a glance at the opinion polls shows angle americans christian democrats are far ahead of the nearest rivals the social democrats but the race for third place is much closer. one analyst says there's little question which party is merkel's preferred partner but well the answer is quite clear if the liberals make it into the parliament with sufficient seats then we'll have a coalition if not they will share this big the coalition bared with a green party just four months ago christiane live at the f.t.p. to its best ever result in germany's most populous state that election allowed him to bring his party into a coalition with the christian democrats will soon know if he can repeat it on the federal level dominic king zero pottstown our security forces fighting armed groups in the southern philippines are focusing their efforts on

a strategic lake last month navy seals intercepted several boats carrying weapons ammunition and material to make bombs jimmy o'loughlin dugan was with the seals in action on lakeland now on mindanao island. we've been given the rare access to join what is the elite forces of the philippine military. the navy seals they specialize in counterterrorism operations and guerrilla combat they've been fighting armed groups in the southern philippines like the door yes i would say yeah an armed group known for its criminal activities the philippines the military has been warning for some time that the security threat to the philippines will only get worse as you have grown which is a departure from the pics of the dead of fifteen years. up occasion of a new teaching. and they must be prepared to defend at the diapering. months later that did happen members of the merged with another local armed group

called them out they took control of several parts of mirali city in the southern philippines the group raised its black flag in several key government buildings for a month over the work of the philippine navy's special warfare group is seen to be a game changer here since the crisis began they were able to secure. the most critical part of this siege they had managed to intercept the reinforcements and this in a repartee they have also captured as k please call them out a group. distance from the target over i joined them on one of the reconnaissance but. we navigate through the dark waters of lake la know one of the most perilous areas in the mid the now region. we are now in the enemy's line of fire just five hundred meters from the main battle area.

and then suddenly the mouth to set several houses on fire we are now visible from the port controlled by them. to group the commander says we have to turn back the draft and i wonder. over on the other night the seals take us to a different location the mouth they are under heavy bombardment from the philippine military. but they are fighting back and even the seals position is targeting. the seals are rarely seen and heard and they prefer it that way a small specialized unit that also admits that the fight against them out is already one of the hardest battles it has ever faced but they remain determined despite no sign that the fighting will and anytime soon. in dugan al jazeera but

are we see the southern philippines or europe's biggest arms fair has opened in london the defense systems and equipment international fair showcases missiles and bombs from one thousand six hundred exhibitors it's also jet generated plenty of controversy is there. well as always here at the d.s.c. i there are hundreds of companies showing off their products in dozens of governments from across the world and although much of the hardware has a military use it's not just about warfare there's one interesting development on display here from the netherlands it's called the drone catcher and i'm joined by a new too young for a bit more on the tell me exactly what he sees well as you can see it's a drone but it also has a net going inside so it's a counter drone system so yeah of course there are the good side of drones you can do a lot of good things but unfortunately you also have the bad things i would say rogue drones with this system you can shoot a net catch the rogue drone carry it with you and leave it somewhere at

a safe place to the ground with a parachute so you can come close you can follow it automatically and get to where you can grab it and take it away so in spite of bullets or laser or these kind of things that the rogue drone will hold on you will find plenty of the more traditional military hardware on display from personnel carriers to body armor to guns to things like drones and missiles now the u.k. government puts a lot of effort into supporting this arms fire and its critics say that in the past it has actually approved arms sales to governments on its own list of human rights abuses britain will argue that it does carry out thorough check spec campaigners say that in places like iraq it's clear that some equipment has ended up in the hands of groups like i still so they would argue that this arms fire is not just immoral but counterproductive i still ahead on a tight security big time cricket returns to pakistan in what set to be
