jose sparring around close to the eastern seaboard enough to give some really quite nasty surf conditions make your very messy really the sea conditions a moment treacherous so best avoided even for a keen surface i would have thought so there's a situation through the course of wednesday a lot of heavy rain across parts of canada we've got a few showers towards the middle eastern seaboard generally not looking too bad probably rather cloudy at times in new york and across into new england as you head on through into thursday looking largely dry here with highs of thirty one in both atlanta and miami now heading down into the caribbean hurricane maria continues to barrel its way across the caribbean heading towards puerto rico and then on to awards the on of hispaniola so we're still looking at a category four system devastating to catastrophic winds vast amounts of rain coming down in a few spots we could be seeing half a meter of rain for hopefully just begins to curve away and doesn't cause too many

problems for bahamas but still a great risk from the storm system in south america is rather to be quite a few showers in northern areas further south germany looking dry and fine heading on through into choose a chance of some rain in northern parts of argentina fifty in the mix so what is aries. this is zero. well i'm richelle carey this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. to lose more than one hundred thirty people are killed as a powerful earthquake hit central mexico plus. we will have no choice but to

totally destroy north korea. u.s. president donald trump takes aim at north korea and iran in his first address to the u.n. calling on the scourge of our planet. qatar's america announces the blockade of his country but says he is open to talks. and the u.n. asked me and mara to allow it into the country to investigate what's been called ethnic cleansing ever hands on muslims. are the seven point one magnitude earthquake has hit mexico more than one hundred thirty people are confirmed dead several buildings collapsed and around mexico city and rescue workers are sifting through the rubble trying to find survivors and this all happened shortly after one p.m. local time near published city it was felt in the capital which is about one hundred twenty kilometers away and estabrook reports. the earthquake was powerful

and within seconds the swaying buildings began to crack and some crashed to the ground around the capital there was panic inside buildings as people fled to the streets. when i was a little as rescuers tended to the injured others tried to clear the path for emergency crews. trying to place cars on the edge of the street to allow firemen ambulances through so that people are more protected dramatic video showed smoke rising from several areas around mexico city many buildings were reduced to rubble including a school which was destroyed when its upper floors collapsed on to lower ones near mcgill angel mansehra said there were people trapped in some of those buildings throughout mexico city people stood in the streets consoling each other as alarms blared seismologists say more than thirty million people likely felt the quake the u.s. geological survey said the epicenter was near the public town of rabbo so about one hundred twenty three kilometers southeast of mexico city the quake comes just

a week after another major earthquake shook the country killing ninety eight people seismologists say tuesday's quake was too large to be an aftershock from the earlier one official say it's still too early to accurately estimate the scope of damage and the number of casualties but they believe both will be significant dianna's to brooke al jazeera. now from mexico city so it is well into the night there. it seems at least from what's behind you there's not really any electricity kind of tell us what's going on now. about nine p.m. here right now and make because you see as you can see there's no electricity the traffic lights are not even working traffic is heavy you know just not the right people to be trying to get home there's no other people behind their way out hours ago where you saw thousands and thousands of people wandering the streets. that

have calmed down a bit now because. we now. know well about. the base if you go to n.p.r.'s just going that way. you know about at about. three hundred people and the other two hundred people. out residents from they don't want to spend the night in their homes and. in these neighborhoods that collapse in front of them have cracked. and. so we think about five hundred people that don't want to spend the night they will be they will be. they've been given blanket. that people have been come you know by they found out.

whatever they need to spend the night so that's what we're seeing here today. why this was so different from the earthquake the last one that we had two weeks ago. but so many. particles especially the last one the one in nine. everyone. that. works. at the same. time.

about an hour i go to. write. thank you. thank you. president. korea threatening to totally destroy the country and a highly combative of the un general assembly.

our diplomatic. 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 to tear orating he knew the world would be hanging on his every word the message is with us since this is coming yes but once he headed to the general assembly chamber in his excellent see donald trump he had a very different message delivering a speech that astonished many diplomats by including an unprecedented 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

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 but leave 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 countless speeches in this hall but i can say that none were balder none were more courageous and forthright than the one delivered by president trump to do the u.n. is normally a place of new aunts and compromise but president trance 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 that 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 taney as nuclear crises james pays out his era of the united nations. cannot to solve or cathing of acca standing by live so. café what is their reaction

there to the tone and the language that our u.s. president tunnel trump used. well the south korean president's office has put out a statement this morning about the speech calling it a firm and specific stance saying that the length of time the president donald trump dedicated to talking about north korea indicated how seriously the u.s. government takes the issue and also saying that it reaffirmed the need to put maximum sanctions and pressure on north korea the president's office was asked specifically about that threat to totally destroy north korea if necessary and wouldn't comment on that language referring only to the statement put out now north korea's ambassador walked out of donald trump's speech in the foreign minister is expected to speak later this week it'll be interesting to hear from north korea and what it has to say in response to donald trump of course often we hear from the

state news agency in north korea that it justifies its missile and nuclear program as a defense tool against what it sees as an existential threat from the united states and i you have the president of the united states saying it will totally destroy a north korea if it has to defend the united states and its allies so what north korea will have to say about that will indeed be interesting when it comes to the south korean population there's been some reaction on social media here it seems to come more from the older section of society which tends to be a bit more conservative so there's been some support there for donald trump's speech to give you a bit of idea of what's been said one person said respected president trump thank you for the bluntly honest comment but on the other hand some of the other comments have included this one trump threatens both south korea and north korea because a war would not happen on their soil meaning u.s. soil i feel sorry for the fifty million south koreans of course we heard from

defense secretary james mattis before donald trump spoke saying that the u.s. has military options including ones that would. not threaten south korea he didn't go on to specify what those may be but the fear often is that if the u.s. were to attack north korea that north korea's response would be in turn to attack this city where it has conventional artillery pointed in this direction so the president moon has often said that any military action on the korean peninsula must happen in consultation with this country south korea michelle ok kathy novak live for us and seoul cathy thank you it's good now to mike hanna who is at the u.n. and joins us live now so mike let's pivot back to another topic something that president also talked about was a rod in the nuclear deal that he is said before is the worst in history and he got some strong support on that from from benjamin netanyahu tell us tell us more about

that. well the israeli president netanyahu had made very clear in his speech that he was opposed to the iran deal and insisted in his words you must fix it or nix it his interpretation was that it allowed iran to continue to develop nuclear capacities and within ten years time said president netanyahu you may have a situation that you've got with north korea now that is an echo of what president trump said in president trump speech he attempted to equate iran and north korea this something that absolutely repudiated and angering the iranians the foreign minister in particular just rejecting president trump's contention that there's any similarity between north korea and iran so certainly we will be hearing a greater response to this from the iranian president hassan rouhani who will be

addressing the general assembly on wednesday and that will be the centerpiece of his speech most likely he said in interviews in the last few days that iran would react strongly should that deal be torn up as president netanyahu wants and as president trump indicates he may decide to do ok mike hanna live at the u.n. mike thank you. another later addressing the u.n. on tuesday was qatar samir check to mean that harbored al thani denounce the blockade of his country there also met with the u.s. president has denied reports he warned the blockading states not to take military action against qatar and correspondent reza dorton has more. the emir of qatar the main been hammered out danny used his address to the u.n. general assembly to issue a complaint the g.c.c. political and economic blockade against his country is based on lives misunderstandings and made up news reports picked up around the region earlier in

the year or today and i don't attend the crime was deliberately commit. good for my political opinions and was followed by a list of political debate haitians which contracting on sovereignty and cost worldwide astonishment and even so 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 right now in a situation where we're trying to solve a problem in the middle east and i think it's. 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 trump sided with saudi arabia the united arab emirates behind and egypt when they accused goth are of supporting terrorist groups has denied those claims physician complicated efforts by some of his aides 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 right here. meantime the egyptian president made only the vaguest of references to the crisis during his general assembly address. it is impossible to envisage a future for the regional international order without a definitive and comprehensive confrontation with terrorism this should be approached in amman to eradicate terrorism in addition to openly challenging any policy that finances terrorism oh that off is it media channels or safe. 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 ruffling jordan al-jazeera at the united nations so

a lot of big news out of the first day of the u.n. chief more on the role of the u.n. security council and dealing with issues like north korea joining us is stuart near parker senior partner at the international law firm crawlin morning and joins us from washington d.c. and thank you so much so on this first day when u.s. president donald trump. mused words like to pray ved in and threaten to destroy north korea can that type of rhetoric exist in the same place as diplomatic efforts . well i mean the short answer is sometimes it's more important to look at the actions of the political leaders rather than their words you know donald trump president trump of course is famous for using very strong words and has used them in many contexts not just with regard to north korea or even iran it's obvious that the united nations security council and the united

nations generally is really the place that president trump has chosen to bring this issue and that's a good thing so i think if you look at the history of how different presidents both democrats and republicans have used the united nations in the security council particularly with regard to rogue states that have had. nuclear programs and terrorist activities i think the fact that donald trump is there put aside some of the strong language i think that's probably on on balance a good thing so you do you do you think that words like this don't have an impact. well you know words always matter particularly in diplomacy and everyone tomorrow morning media and politicians and diplomats alike will be parsing and interpret ing what president trump meant what he didn't mean i just saw on the way over here that david ignatius the foreign affairs correspondent for the washington post said look putting all the strong language aside from president trump's speech today he's

actually playing inside the u.n. and pretty much according to establish rules and so i think of someone who is an inexperienced observer like david ignatius of the washington post who has a keen eye for these things is saying put that language just saw it let's see what he's actually doing i think that tells us a lot more about what's really going on and i think obvious fact that president trump is there working with them is the key i'm sorry i mean it was it may not be there so that the u.n. security council there's always a tension on them every time north korea launches another missile test what and it seems not to have had an effect thus far what can the security council do what is their history been a success when it comes to things like sanctions. well you know we have two very good examples over the last twenty years back in the one nine hundred ninety s.

as you know libya which was run at the time by another dictator colonel moammar gadhafi. had a nuclear program was a principal sponsor of terrorism and was causing terrible problems not just for the west but even for his for the for the arab league and his and his brother arabs and in fact the u.n. security council issued a series of very strict economic sanctions on khadafi regime mostly because gadhafi had blown up two jumbo jets the infamous pan am one hundred three that crashed over lockerbie scotland flying from london to new york and the lesser known but still notorious french airliner a seven seven two which he blew up nine months later flying from north africa to paris it was those two attacks on airplanes which killed hundreds of people which got khadafi on the sanctions list and over time those economic sanctions got stronger and stronger to the point where gadhafi had to negotiate his weight out of

them and eventually they were lifted under the regime of course of president george w. bush so having said that do you think that there is still a possibility that the u.n. security council will have some level of success with north korea and the success mean getting them to the negotiating table. well you know i'm sure that's the plan and i'm glad that president trump is there. for that purpose i think but what you're going to see is that the fact that russia and china who are the principal allies and trade partners with north korea have joined in the u.n. sanctions and that's very significant they're not vetoing them they're not abstaining and the fact that they're doing it in the fact that china in particular is taking a stand against north korea means you could see the sanctions get tougher and tougher and the real question is is how tough do they have to get to have an impact

to change north korea's behavior we saw that with gadhafi in libya and frankly we saw that with iran and its nuclear program because remember the nuclear deal that people talk about president trump that was a u.n. deal that was not a united states or in deal that was the united nations the u.n. had put sanctions on north on iran and it works and it changed their behavior ok it's never means to be seen as stewart or your brother really the conversation thank you for joining us. plenty more had and the news hour including yet another hurricane bears down on the caribbean. and iraq's kurds here for an independence referendum a stark warning from turkey as president. and it's for a little messy help sparse along the extend their lead in spain so they get to have all the details. at least one person has been killed in the second category five storm to hit the

caribbean and a month or came maria has made landfall over several islands with two hundred sixty kilometer an hour winds the french island loop was hit by the storm neighboring to manic i was also hit and that country's prime minister describes the destruction as mind boggling reus heading towards puerto rico from where anthony and gallagher reports. as hurricane maria bore down on the caribbean island of dominique its prime minister said we did not look out maria hit as a category five with sustained winds of two hundred sixty kilometers per hour mudslides and widespread damage and now a major concern for prime minister roosevelt skerritt describe the effects of the hurricane as hallucinating and was him self rescued as the storm plowed across the island taking to social media he said his people have lost what money can buy and replace and now fears that people may have been killed no food no money could a french on a divide loop was also pounded by the powerful storm it's still recovering from

hurricane but officials say the scale of the damage is hard to quantify and. that we have limited contact at the moment it's really very patchy we're in contact with our forces the firemen the military police and the police who are giving us some information but we have very little information at this stage across the region hurricane alerts have now been issued as maria continues its track towards the u.s. virgin islands and puerto rico high winds tidal surges and power. and now a potentially deadly threat as officials warned residents to take to shelters or stay in their homes here in puerto rico more than five hundred shows a vote is this island braces for the most powerful storm to hit since nine hundred twenty eight hurricane graced puerto rico two weeks ago leading to the loss of power for a million residents some still don't have electricity but with a direct hit and now facing potentially foremost serious consequences. al-jazeera san juan puerto rico.

on the right hand the crisis facto leader has done little to placate the international community united nations investigators are demanding full access to investigate claims of human rights violations by security forces we are live in bangladesh where temperatures. there let's speak to scott heiler who is in me and maurice capital so scott what is the let's their reaction to. the speech both locally and then their reaction to the international reaction. locally were. pretty much in favor of on song suchi and what she said in tuesday's speech yesterday speech you know while it was going on this is ten a.m. on tuesday local time there were they were kind of viewing areas that a lot of the main cities here in myanmar's a lot of people watched it live then also this morning wednesday morning

a lot of the newspapers published it in its entirety this speech is half hour speech and when you look at social media it's predominately in favor of her but some feel as though she didn't go for far enough in other words are the group that claimed responsibility group that's responsible for these attacks that sparked this lady latest wave of violence on august twenty fifth some say that she should have called them out directly and also put together a plan or had an idea of a plan of how the military. it's going to stop and prevent further attacks so kind of a mixed bag if you will but most of them feel as though she what she said on tuesday they supported actually it's very interesting you see some photos from around the country and a lot of people holding signs that say we are behind on song suchi now obviously in the international community a completely different perspective from some groups particularly humanitarian they feel as though she didn't really give any specific examples or specific ideas of what this nation needs to do what needs to happen for those people those hundreds of thousands of people who fled her country into bangladesh they feel as though

there's not an immediate plan that was described in the speech of how to help them now she had some bigger ideas grand ideas for the future but nothing that really translates into helping those people who are suffering right now and still right now scott the u.n. has been wanting to get in there and get an assessment of the situation so far is there any indication that that's even something she's open to or the country is open to. she mentioned this in her speech on tuesday yes that she actually appealed to the international community for help she once she said help in. correcting this issue in were kind state so she invited the international community on the ground have we see any change seen any change in access not yet and this is something the united states has called for multiple other nations of the called for and the united nations have called for more access for humanitarian relief humanitarian organizations to go into these areas that have been impacted by this violence over the last couple of weeks she said that she wants help but we don't

see it on the ground just yet that they are opening these corridors just yet but again they were just several hours after the speech but right now we know that there's a u.s. state department official who attended came in from washington attended that speech yesterday we're hearing that he will go on a government trip to sit way which is the capital over kind state probably at some point today but again this is something that we saw over the last couple of weeks you know there were media trips press trips into these affected areas but they were government run and government controlled what the humanitarian organizations are asking for is is free rein they need to go in there on their own and see what the needs are and yet we have not heard that there's going to be anything like that just yet. heiler life for us and thank you. meanwhile turkey's president spoke to al-jazeera about his concerns over the ranger crisis and the response from me and mars later. it is a very light statement by on songs i wish she had made the statement earlier she has not made

a very convincing explanation hundreds of thousands of people have fled me and of course the people need to feel safe and her statement did not reassure this we took the initiative and held a meeting on the ranger here at the united nations and we should a statement of declaration of the end of the meeting and with the declaration we have discussed what kind of steps will need to be taken i want to thank bangladesh in particular they've decided to reserve an island for the recount was lim's fling and turkey will provide all necessary help along with other countries for those people who be arriving on the island still ahead on al-jazeera and the revelations about former cop campaign manager paul metaphor and his contacts with russia. and switching from the pitch to the ring but rio ferdinand's move into boxing could be a fight for credibility she will have that support. from

exercises with soldiers clearing an enemy village happen pretty regularly they're designed to get south korean and american soldiers working effectively it's like i saw it but the one happened in a vacuum and the soldier in charge of this exercise says his men and women are aware of the changing international context. there's no doubt that the coverage that we see on the news every day has increased concerns in the in the peninsula. and so i think it does a bit of more realism and urgency and importance to this type of mission in part this is genuinely about training but in part two it's about being seen to be doing this training and that is why so many media have been invited along well it's important for you to see the readiness is important for you to see the rocky u.s. forces working together i think that it's it's it's a badly important for you to see that because it's of interest but aside from that

this is plan training that's going to happen regardless of the risk till messaging going on isn't that you want the world to see these exercises going on even in a time of heightened tension well regardless of the tension regardless of what's going on in the world these are exercises that would take place either way. this is exactly the sort of military exercise close to the demilitarized zone that the north koreans call provocative and they want to end but there's no suggestion they will certainly not from these american soldiers political masters in washington. that now to the ongoing crisis what they were henschel muslims to continue to cross the border from me and mar into bangladesh are tender child very is alive in the bangladeshi city of cox's bizarre where they are also having to contend with the weather as well tanveer what's happening there. were either weather is not a big friends of refugee are staying here i'm. and we were visiting in camp

a safer location higher ground so they're safe from the expose weather as well as other elements this hasn't been going on i mean the agencies are trying very hard but i don't think they have adequate resources there's been a lot of talk of aid donation and pledges by international community but on the ground reality is that hardly anything i've reached and government needs to mobilize in a way that there is a centralized distribution center there's discipline in the road because a lot of private donors are going by trucks and throwing aids like biscuits dry food and clothes and this stampede all across so this situation need to be changed that all these people are organized brought into a second camp given a better shelter this kind of shelter has been here for decades and nothing has changed we haven't seen any u.n. tents which this aid have landed last week in any of those camps so the aid effort has been really display really poor the intentions are good. people on the ground

are working hard but there is no tangible goods on there got this this situation needs to change otherwise we're going to be a serious situation of starvation and disease in this camp where we're close to four hundred seventy thousand people and they're mostly children and woman ten of our child who live in cox thank you. tensions are rising on the periphery of iraq's kurdish region ahead of a vote on kurdish independence on september twenty fifth the town of. where kurdish control and iraqi control begins its population is a mix of kurds and turkmen shit paramilitary groups and kurdish peshmerga have fought there before the shia turkmen reject the referendum and have been making threats military commanders are worried the tensions might lead to violence. random but i must know since the referendum was announced by the presidency of the kurdistan region we have been seeing the parties including the arabs in. making

threats that if the kurds hold a referendum they will attack our forces we are fully prepared to react to any unwanted incident but we will not initiate anything but we will try our best to avoid war but if it happens and if it comes to our doors that. these areas apostle subletting governorates and the governor has completely rejected the referendum the city council including the arabs and the turkmen also rejected they didn't even vote on it therefore we are rejecting the referendum here in this coke and other disputed areas and facts we don't want to held in kurdistan either. made has more from northern iraq. one of the biggest bones of contention between the central government in baghdad and the kurds have been so. ever since the fall of saddam hussein back in two thousand and three and the right to. two thousand and five now since two thousand and fourteen when the army pulled out and

i said. iraq the kurds have actually stepped in and taken hold for a lot of. estimates but one that grabs about forty percent and what we're seeing. at the moment is this this. this contempt from the central government in baghdad about this referendum that as we speak is still going ahead on september september twenty fifth now some would say the kurds can carry out this referendum in their own territories meaning the three provinces is silliman a air base and the will but not those still hold this view to territories well at the moment the referendum is also being carried out in those territories and that's where you see being you're seeing a new sort of sectarian tension emerging whereas in the past those so-called

disputed territories have come under attack by groups like al qaida and then i so now you see up our military forces that are under the direct command of prime minister and the kurdish peshmerga forces face to face and i think some of the people here the kurds who are against the timing of the referendum not the idea of a referendum are worried exactly about this that you see a new form of victory and really emerging in the country. on tuesday turkish president recha typer one used his address to the un general assembly to criticize the planned independence vote in iraq's semi autonomous kurdish region he said it could spark new conflicts. steps such as demands for independence that can cause new crises on conflicts into region must be avoided. we here call on the iraqi kurdish regional government to abort the initiative that

they have launched in that direction ignoring the clear undetermined songs of turkey in this matter may lead to a process that shall deprive the iraqi kurdish regional government the opportunities they currently enjoy we all should work on building tranquility peace security and stability in the region instead of sparking new conflicts syrian government airstrikes have hit three hospitals and live province activists say they were all struck within an hour a medical center and premises raised by of rescue service in rebel held labor also targeted killing civilians and emergency workers syrian military sources denied targeting the hospital saying only rebel convoys and positions have been hit a mosque is calling on palestinian president mahmoud abbas to and his sanctions on the gaza strip after giving up administrate of control hamas says they will hand over the administration of gaza to abbas faction who runs the west bank the leading

special prosecutor robert mueller into whether there was collusion between russia and trump campaign officials. the revelations have emboldened trump supporters who on social media viewed this as vindication for the president and his claim on twitter in march that the previous administration had wiretapped him i have no information that supports those tweets and may contradict claims made by fired f.b.i. director james comey who would have been overseeing that surveillance given manna for it has a home in trump tower and as chair of trump's campaign was likely caught up in that surveillance of matter for. on capitol hill trump advisor and friend michael cohn refly appeared to as are questions for senators only for his lawyer to tell reporters the meeting had been cancelled no thank you thank you thank you thank you for with your what you write in july the f.b.i. also launched an early morning raid on matter for its home as part of its

investigation seizing documents and computer files man of ford has denied he ever knowingly had contact with russian agents he did however register retroactively as a foreign agent with the u.s. government. for consulting work he did for ukraine's former pro russia ruling party this former justice department official says it appears miller's team is putting pressure on trump associates to target the president this would be leverage if you will to say all right if we have information that you may have violated the foreign agents registration act will kind of ignore that will will not prosecute that case but you've got to waive your privileges and disclose everything you know about what happened metaphor was not reportedly under f.b.i. surveillance when donald trump jr invited him to the june twenty sixth trump tower meeting with a russian lawyer it's a gap that could prove critical as investigators continue to probe into possible ties between the russian government and the u.s. president kimberly how can al-jazeera washington

a statement has been released on behalf of paul metaphor and it reads this way if true it is a felony to reveal the existence of a warrant regardless of the fact that no charges ever emerged this apartment of justices inspector general should immediately conduct an investigation into these leaks. but has few days to go before what's expected to be a comfortable victory for mark on the charm elections her main contender on the left is facing mounting criticism for his campaign on shells has stuck on polls of about twenty percent support same mainly unable to make any headway against markel lawrence lee is exploring how many voters fear the candidates. week off the week martin schultz has been working the crowds no lack of passion a little this belief in a fad germany and a fair europe the crowd waves flags calling for quality jobs and pay

a europe that works together. for germany better germany he says we can do this trouble is that's exactly what i'm going to michael says is he different enough to go you know. it's like you know. sometimes. they're just too good. to good and. spoke for forty five minutes without notes fluence and driven in another country he might be seen as really exciting but you can't get anywhere. common so it's an extremely efficient way to be european parliament is respected right across the european side so let's get a time when many german voters are. sure that i'm going to have my. program

again. merkel's apparence invincibility is based on her capacity to outflank when a right wing politician says she wants to take in a million refugees how can the left objects. travel around germany and you can see how in this election merkel has managed to find a way of appealing to voters from different constituencies take climate change deep in the black forest villages have been allowed by government to own the wind turbines and sell the electricity from them and the solar panels back to the national grid for profits and the consequence is the traditional left wing greens run local government in coalition with the conservative c.d.u. merkel has taken the green idea and used it to her advantage the green. told to keep things forward and they don't want to do. so back to the rally one of your supporters here just said to me that you're so

close to merkel you might as well be married what would you say today if you didn't listen to a speech. one of my supporter said to you perhaps speaking with you're not listening to my speech and that's the reason why you think there is there is a difference between your local because people say you're too close so she's taken your ground. i mean america is not taking my ground i'm going to be doing what i'm suggesting they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery in that case at least not in schultz can take some consolation but his opponent has figured out how to please very many people most of the time and that's very rare barnsley al-jazeera cultural. still ahead on al-jazeera the national hockey league. looks to attract fans from one of the most lucrative sports markets in the world to one have all that coming up in sport.

a lot of people coming to help we've just spoken to several groups of young people . some of them were carrying peeks and told to go to the site where buildings collapsed and ready to work if they were needed it for several blocks nurses they said they were going to spend the night outside of these collapsed buildings and just be ready for it when they went when people were pulled from the rubble screaming they'll be there to help resolve people covering roads blank aid food. everything that is needed on a night like this little speck to report brooke to a group of people that were coming from that way not far from here this protest to swell to run for all for about five hundred people they want to buy them and so it's for about three hundred people the other one hundred people five hundred in total the several students that don't want to spend the night in their houses. it's over always houses here it's a beautiful suburb but with colonial houses that are hundreds of years old that not

face some of them collapsed some of them have cracks will be declared inhabitable some of them so people don't want to sleep in the houses tonight will be spend the night out in the open we blanket just on the floor and the president to be given any. came about two hours ago he spoke he said the season the major situation. for stage there has been great we need to we all need to come together and work together that would meet with civil protection and just help the children in these hard times right and power in mexico city of paris. by the u.s. for. stepped up his rhetoric against north korea threatening to totally destroy the country in a highly combative debut speech to the un general assembly donald trump mocked kim jong un described pyongyang as a deprived regime our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the un donald

trump is the thirteenth u.s. president to come here to address the u.n. and with the north korea crisis to tear orating he knew the world would be hanging on his every word the message is. since and this is coming together but once he headed to the general assembly chamber he's excellent see donald trump he had a very different message delivering a speech that astonished many diplomats by including an unprecedented 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 turn only destroy north korea rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime the words with just the sort of 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 but leave 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 countless speeches in the song but i can say that none were born or none were more courageous and forthright than the one delivered by president trump to do the un is normally a place of new aunts and compromise but president trance sees things in starkly black and white terms even some of the countries that are normally friendly to the u.s. are alarmed one western foreign minister told me that 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 taney as nuclear crises james pays out his era of the united nations let's cross to the u.n. now where mike hanna joins us live mike so a combative debut speech yesterday from president trump what can we look forward to on wednesday. well on wednesday president trump won't be at the u.n.

itself but he will be very busy indeed he's having a series of bilateral meetings in the course of the day with among others king abdullah of jordan the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas and abdul fattah el-sisi the egyptian president it's clear from this list that he may be discussing middle east peace initiatives to find some way to put clothes on the skeleton of resuscitating a peace plan which he's made a central part of his administration but in between this is well he's got some other meetings he's holding a luncheon with african leaders and after that he'll be talking to the british prime minister to resume he's likely to hear their words about iran prime minister may like many other the european leaders deeply concerned about president trump's threats to tear up unilaterally tear up the iran plan we also hear in the course of

the day from the iranian president hassan rouhani who's likely to respond sharply to the words said treze of the president's trump spoke during his speech unlike the emir of qatar met president trump yesterday is there any hope but some kind of diplomatic effort can be found to help resolve the gulf crisis. well the ne of qatar also address the united nations in the course of the day and after that well before that he'd held a meeting with president trumpet which president trump said that he would offer to help that he would mediate this ongoing crisis now that crisis has been in place since june the firth when four arab nations decided to blockade accusing it of harboring terrorists and funding terrorism these are allegations that carter has sharply denied however the emir of qatar did stress that he was open to unconditional dialogue but importantly that it should be based on the respect for

national sovereignty making very clear that qatar was not going to ban down to what it sees as an unexpected acceptable demands made by the arab nations the emir said to those nations should look to themselves part of it look at the damage to do and the countries who imposed just looking at of qatar have intervened in the internal affairs of the state by bringing pressure on citizens through food and medicine shortages cutting family ties to force them to change their political affiliations does destabilizing a sovereign country is dissin out of the definition of terrorism well the late hours offer the evening president trump has released a series of tweets dealing with the emmys among other things and a solve complex to go congratulate three tweet saying that he's pleased to have such a reception to his speech from so many leaders who told him how good it was well

that's opposite to what many i've heard here at the united nations who were astonished some disappointed others and basically scared by the content of some of donald trump's speech writer mike hanna there at the u.n. mike thank you. hurricane maria is nearing the u.s. virgin islands with wind speeds up to two hundred eighty kilometers an hour one person was killed when the category five storm swept through the french island of guadalupe dominique is also picking up the pieces the country's prime minister described the destruction as mind boggling. well maria is heading towards puerto rico the governor there is warning the hurricane could hit with a force of the island has not seen for several generations and gallagher is there. as hurricane maria bore down on the caribbean island of dominate its prime minister said we dare not look out maria hit as a category five with sustained winds of two hundred sixty kilometers per hour mudslides and widespread damage and now a major concern for prime minister roosevelt skerritt describe the effects of the

hurricane as hallucinating and was himself rescued as the storm plowed across the island taking to social media he said his people have lost what money can buy and replace and now fears that people may have been killed north of dominated a french child of guadalupe was also pounded by the powerful storm it's still recovering from hurricane irma but officials say the scale of the damage is hard to quantify. that we have limited contact at the moment it's really very patchy we're in contact with our forces the firemen the military police and the police who are giving us some information but we have very little information at this stage across the region hurricane alerts have now been issued as maria continues its track towards the u.s. virgin islands and puerto rico high winds tidal surges and power outages and now a potentially deadly threat as officials warned residents to take to shelters or stay in their homes here in puerto rico more than five hundred shelters a vote as this island braces for the most powerful storm to hit since one thousand

nine hundred twenty eight hurricane graced puerto rico two weeks ago leading to the loss of power for a million residents some still don't have electricity but with a direct hit and now facing potentially far more serious consequences and the gallic al-jazeera san juan puerto rico. time for a short break here on al-jazeera when we come back as maria batters the caribbean we're in cuba's capital have with the city's aging buildings were no match for hurricane and. new revelations about former trump campaign manager paul minor forte and his contacts with russia more on that. welcome back we'll look at the weather across the americas you still see hurrican jose spawning around close to the eastern seaboard enough to give some really quite

nasty surf conditions make it over a messy really the sea conditions a moment treacherous so best avoided even for a keen surface i would have thought so there's a situation through the course of well it's a lot of heavy rain across parts of canada we've got a few showers towards the middle eastern seaboard generally not looking too bad probably rather cloudy at times in new york and across into new england as you head on through into thursday looking largely dry here with highs of thirty one in both atlanta and miami now heading down into the caribbean hurricane maria continues to barrel its way across the caribbean heading towards puerto rico and then on towards the honor of hispaniola so we're still looking at a category four system devastating to catastrophic winds vast amounts of rain coming down in a few spots we could be seeing half a meter of rain for hopefully just begins to curve away and doesn't cause too many problems for bahamas but still a great risk from the storm system in south america is rather see quite a few showers in northern areas further south germany looking dry and fine heading

on through into choose a chance of some rain northern parts of argentina fifty in the mike so what is aries. in the next episode of science in a golden age. in the contributions made by scholars during the medieval period in the field of medicine. to be a good subject to bring different people from all over the world. with. the more. science in a golden age professor. at this time.

looking back at the top stories here on al-jazeera at least one hundred forty nine people are confirmed dead after a powerful earthquake struck central mexico seven point one magnitude quake hit. just after one p.m. local time it's the second quake in mexico just of the two weeks. the u.s. president has made his debut speech at the u.n. general assembly taking aim at north korea donald trump said he destroyed the country if it threatened the u.s. or its allies he also had strong words for iran accusing it of sponsoring terrorism and destabilizing the region. is nearing the u.s. virgin islands with wind speeds up to two hundred eighty kilometers an hour he's one person has been killed in the second category five storm. in a month. whatever this month because severe flooding and damage across cuba's capital aging infrastructure means have is especially vulnerable to the effects of

climate change and rising sea levels as tropical storms become more frequent residents are being forced to look for new ways to stay safe reports from. have an iconic water for. submerged this was last week just hours after hurricane year much less cuba's waters on its way to florida when the storm waters did recede it took much with it including most of medicine said this belongings even her bathroom sink and her front door were not spared for the last four decades she's lived along have an s. coastal road. it has a view but it's also exposed to the extremes of weather. my children grew up in so did my grandchildren the sea had committed before but it had an effect it is like this he would come in and leave this time it was too strong it was too much about sixty percent of cubans live near the country's coastline authorities fear

hurricanes like your mother will become more frequent and leave lasting damage when i see. statistics show that around twenty seven coastal communities here in cuba will disappear by twenty fifty over the next thirty to forty years those communities are looking at an over twenty centimeter rise in sea level they will be flooded. the cuban government has made dealing with the impact of climate change a national priority it said ambitious goals for renewable energy and banned new constructions along coastal areas but biggest challenge when it comes to dealing with the impact of climate change may have less to do with new constructions and more with existing ones throughout the country but especially here in old havana crumbling buildings make it much more dangerous for residents to face stronger more persistent storms. in the eyes of at least one expert the key for cuba is an adaptation but we have a very solid system of civil defense that. the phrase they heard these events but
