5:02 am
last week we had an eight point one earthquake by the defense i was in was. in the south when that happens we go to st nicholas that keeps us now to morning for everyone to come out and around the state and look for a safe place to be with these one because the if you think i was supposed to be capitale was one hundred twenty kilometers from here the alarm went off but it went so i just same time as it was happening so basically it was happening no warning we had no chance to run for cover and that's why many people were still inside the buildings and they call this a very fast tale of a school in the south of the city we don't know how many children died at least paul and a teacher that we know was but just to look under the rubble to try and get them to take these polls in this field right now he's been the city's one hundred nineteen
5:03 am
. rescue workers and firefighters. frantically and they're going to be doing that throughout the night we've got no electricity. as well. they. are heavy machinery. behind. what i'm trying to say i think. the patient is going to right in the next hour unfortunately that is the case probably billets also hope that there's a lot of rescues as well and thank you very much. the president has stepped up his standoff with north korea threatening to totally destroy it in a highly combative speech to the u.n. general assembly dollar. and describe it appraised regime
5:04 am
a diplomatic editor james space has more from the united nations donald trump is the thirteenth u.s. president to come here to address the u.n. and with the north korea crisis deteriorating he knew the world would be hanging on his every word the the message is really just a sense of messages coming together but once he headed to the general assembly chamber excellent see donald trump he had a very different message delivering a speech that astonished many diplomats spying clue precedented threat to annihilate another u.n. member state the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime the words were just the sort of
5:05 am
language that earlier the u.n. secretary general had warned against fiery talk can lead to fatal misunderstandings the solution must be political and this is a time for statesmanship we must not sleepwalk our way into war president trumps foreign policy challenges a growing his critics say it's only of his own making he doesn't now just face possible confrontation with one nuclear power north korea but with a second one iran too as he continues to suggest he's likely to pull out of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal the iran deal was one of the worst and most one sided transactions the united states has ever entered into frankly that deal is an embarrassment to the united states and i don't think you've heard the last of it believe me that receive strong support from israel's prime minister but only tepid applause from those in the general assembly so i've listened to
5:06 am
countless speeches in this hall but i can say that none were bolder none were more courageous and forthright. than the one delivered by president trump today the u.n. is normally a place of nuance and compromise but president trumps sees things in starkly black and white even some of the countries that are normally friendly to the u.s. are alarmed one western foreign minister told me the president trumps comments on north korea was unhelpful and a senior security council diplomat said to me why does he want to provoke two similar ten years nuclear crises james zero at the united nations let's go now to the united nations where mike hanna joins us live so mike it was. quite a dynamic first day what are we looking ahead to tomorrow.
5:07 am
well indeed yes well everybody may be taking a breath in the course of the next twenty four hours because president trump is off campus so to speak but he'll be having a lot of bilateral meetings on the fringes of the united nations in particular he's meeting egyptian president but i feel sisi the jordanian king abdullah as well as a palestinian leader mahmoud abbas so clearly this may be president trump's attempts to start putting clothes on the skeleton of the peace deal that is administration says is possible to resuscitate but in between this as well he'll be holding a meeting with african leaders a lunch with them indeed and also a meeting with british prime minister to resume she is likely to bring up the issue of iran the united kingdom deeply concerned along with a number of other european nations about the possibility that president tran mike
5:08 am
unilaterally abandoned the iran deal of twenty fifteen also speaking in the united nations in the course of tomorrow will be iran's president rouhani who's likely to respond to the attack waged by president trump in his speech earlier mike hanna live for us at the united nations mike thank you. and u.s. president says the blockade on qatar will be resolved quickly he was meeting with the a mayor of qatar shaikh to name then home it all funny on the sidelines at the u.n. general assembly u.s. president has denied reports that he warned gulf states against taking military action against qatar earlier in a speech to the u.n. qataris and their denounce the blockade and call for talks correspondent rahsaan jordan has more. the america. dani used his address to the un general assembly to issue a complaint the g.c.c. political and economic blockade against his country is based on lies
5:09 am
misunderstandings and made up news reports picked up around the region earlier in the year i think that i don't i think the crime was deliberately committed from a political advantage and was followed by a list of political debate haitians which contracting on sovereignty and cost worldwide astonishment and even the emir said he was ready and willing to negotiate an end to the crisis now in its fourth month during a courtesy call the u.s. president offered his encouragement to wait now in the situation with trying to solve a problem in the middle east and i think it is. the way it will be. pretty quickly trump said something similar when he met recently with the emir of kuwait who has been trying to mediate the crisis but at the start with saudi arabia the united arab emirates behind and egypt when they accuse got are of supporting terrorist groups has denied those claims physician complicated efforts by some of his aides
5:10 am
to resolve the crisis but now there are reports trump may have privately warned the saudis and the immoralities early on to not attack. their reports the president denied with a simple no at the end of his meeting with the emir of the hair. meantime the egyptian president made only the vaguest of references to the crisis. during his general assembly address. it is impossible to visit a future for the regional international order without a definitive and comprehensive confrontation with terrorism which should be approached in among other eradicate terrorism in addition to openly challenging any policy that so close so finances terrorism oh that off is it media channels or safe havens it's not likely an end to the g.c.c. crisis could be negotiated during the opening week of the general assembly but at least it does seem that it's not something the security council will have to tackle at least not right now rosalyn jordan al-jazeera at the united nations still ahead
5:11 am
