with the smell of these. or the bad ones. the garbage he does all of the smell is coming from the dead. that's it. of the. this is al jazeera.

and this is the news live from doha coming up in the program catalonia accuses spain of a totalitarian attitude as a regional ministers a race to the head of an independent referendum a frantic search for survivors in mexico rescue workers dig through the night after an earthquake kills at least two hundred people. can you supreme court criticizes election officials for refusing to give details of last month's and no presidential vote. and traveling by plane can make you sick and you study finds people who regularly take to the skies are found to suffer from chronic illnesses. catalonia as president has some strong words for spain's government after police arrested the region's junior economy minister and several others after raiding cattle and government offices. and.

supporters of an independence referendum have been rallying in barcelona they stole their cattle and say they will go ahead with a vote on october the first despite the central government declaring it illegal. i stopped object of the government of catalonia has been the target of a coordinated aggression by the spanish government's police force in order to stop catalans from exercising democracy freely and peacefully in october the first and to suspend the activity of the government which has a broad majority of the citizens and parliament behind it which also has the democratic legit. to defend the interests of the people and its self government this aggression has no legal basis it was perpetrated by violating the rule of law and all of the constitutional guarantees and violating the e.u. charter of fundamental rights spain's prime minister defended the arrests of the most of. the governments is fulfilling its obligation and i have to say that we

will continue to do so until the end i think we are acting with proportionality after the things we have seen during the last few days in catalonia and call pen or is in barcelona car how did this situation escalates so quickly were they so angry about. what happened this morning was that the civil guard paramilitary police sent by the spanish central government raided a number of offices that belong to the catalan regional government right now thousands of pro independence supporters of dorking two main streets in downtown. they gathered outside the building of the finance ministry and as they're doing inside the civil guard police are carrying out right continuing to carry out they're looking for any evidence that public officials may have diverted public funds to pay for this planned october the first independence referendum they're

also looking for things like papers and boxes and so independence supporters of the wrong to the streets out here demanding their right to go ahead and vote in the first referendum we will see what happens when the civil guard police try to make it out and i'm wondering what's going to happen next i mean has it reached a point of no return certainly for the protesters. but i think certainly what has happened is higher level of anticipation by the probably. higher level of passion. right now they're demanding the right to vote on the time and they will lie down for it. describe this. and undemocratic and it is said it will do everything in its power to try and block the constitutional court has stepped in and also the state

prosecutor saying that they will try to arrest public officials if they press ahead with this but it does seem that both sides are on a collision course. thanks to that. rescuers in mexico searching through collapsed buildings to find survivors of a magnitude seven point one earthquake at least two hundred seventeen people have been killed twenty of them children the quake's epicenter was in a state under twenty kilometers from mexico city. reports. in mexico city a desperate search to save lives this used to be a school but the magnitude seven point one quake reduced it to rubble bodies have been recovered but children and teachers are missing. rescuers worked into the night the woman in red walking out after being asked to identify a body as well as. it's a school in the south of the city

a private school where significant part of the building collapsed unfortunately small children from year one year two of primary school some from the secondary school have died the quake struck at lunchtime on tuesday causing thousands to run to safety. the terror and devastation captured in the moments after. a mexican's assess the wreckage across the capital dozens of buildings have collapsed. on the extent of the disaster is becoming clear homes destroyed some businesses badly damaged two million people without electricity and a nation again in mourning after another major earthquake shook the country earlier this month. phone lines are also down and smokers have been warned not to light up because of gas leaks outside the capital many other towns and cities report widespread damage the epicenter of the quake was in pueblo state about one hundred twenty kilometers from the capital into more than

a dozen were killed. fifty five total deaths reported but we want to cross check our data to see if there are more dead people sixteen of them from just last pacifically. earlier in the day in mexico city some people are taking part in drills on the anniversary of another devastating earthquake thirty two years ago the nineteenth september will now be a remembrance for not just one but two disasters and rescuers fear the number of families mourning the dead. don't control food how does it compare rodriguez joins us live from mexico city and part of what is the situation now. jane it's going to be a long day for us here today as they have a long night as well. have not stopped work you throughout the night i don't know how much you can see behind me but right now they are they used to be

a stick has been until just yesterday. to have and people were then managed to evacuate and ride out the great you that about forty people i thought to be under the rubble and. not just the working throughout the night but hundreds of volunteers. and. he knew the last couple of hours that. how to spend the night. they can use heavy machinery they have to use their bare hands and just tools like peeks and stuff but they said they will notice so fourteen until they find more survivors about a couple of hours ago i'll tell you they found two people one one woman that was fucking her husband and she was sitting he went to sign time expect that information was. passed on to these things and i mean if he was refused to disclose

the lies. actually quite sad because we were speaking here to some of the very last season i spoke to a couple with a baby they spend the whole night here waiting for he's used to work or work at the building so you can see. the flashes of them we've blankets being cared for by volunteers things didn't even break trust me words and psychological support. they're getting ready for for a long day like i said and besides it's actually happening in many other places next because we see one of the sadducees the case of a group. of nice twenty children die and some of the teachers too i believe for teachers and about twenty two friends died the president who to be yesterday the interior minister minister today said they really noticed of leukemia survivors pretty small children one and two and two that get them out or at least three with

their important thank you very much. hurricane maria has made landfall in the u.s. territory of puerto rico in the caribbean the category four storm is packing winds of up to two hundred fifty kilometers an hour maria has already caused extensive damage on the islands of guadalupe and dominica it's the second maximum strength atlantic storm of the season after swear through the caribbean earlier this month and you got to go joins us live from san juan in puerto rico so she's there and wondering what she's like. well very very powerful indeed forecasters say this may be the most powerful hurricane to ever make landfall in puerto rico but let's just show you what's happening here in san juan the winds have been battering us here since about half past four this morning if you look at that pink apartment building over there we stood here at first light and watched as the windows of that apartment building was sucked out not blown in but sucked out by the sheer power of the storm you could even see the furniture there is being pulled towards the edge

if we pan to the right a bit you can just see the other damage that's going on here roofs are being peeled off or you can hear as those corrugated sheets of metal i tossed across the city the sound and the fury of this storm is simply terrifying and it's really battering the entire island now three and a half million people live in puerto rico if this is the most powerful storm it can only be catastrophic we've got a slight lol in the storm as we speak because the eye is piling up parallel to us here in san juan but i can tell you in the last few hours the winds have been terrible if you look down the street or you can see debris scattered all over the place a tree down and these are just some of the first problems these winds are going to go on for twelve to twenty four hours i can't imagine what that picture is like here in rural puerto rico where it's mountainous where there is a danger of mudslides but remember the other thing that is extremely dangerous here

are those tidal surges you're talking about four to six meters across the coastline and hurricane maria did make first landfall in the southeast part of the island but in the last hour or so it's made a sharp right turn as it pulls parallel to his here in san juan but it's really dissecting the entire island more than five hundred shelters have already been opened you have to hope that people have taken shelter in them i think they have been listening fairly seriously but this is a potentially catastrophic situation it seems to be under thanks very much miles. get more on this from everton fox i'm just wondering how long this is going to go on for ne expectations what it will take pretty much all day to get through puerto rico and then it will make its way slowly up towards to silence and then just to the east of the bahamas but yes we're hearing that catastrophic is a pretty good word for it to take a look at the satellite picture and you can see how well organized the storm still is as again as we've heard it has weakened slightly we talk and sustained winds of

around two hundred fifty kilometers per hour so it's a strong category four hurricane had those catastrophic winds that are still making their way and we just take the higher cloud we have to say that the storm is now making its way across that eastern quarter of puerto rico and it will continue to make its way further north woods and west which is we go on through the coming days and hours by the time we get to later on in the weekend it will push up to at least the side of the u.s. but that's a long way off for the here now we're more concerned with staying winds of two hundred fifty kilometers per hour kept the five storm is two hundred fifty two so it's still close to a cat five this is still a big bad storm gust to around three hundred kilometers per hour well look at what sort of rainfall we've had from this system is made its way across quad loop hundred forty four millimeters of rain in twenty four hours and has inevitably led to some widespread flooding major problems there. even bigger problems for puerto

rico as we go on through the next couple of days some of these parts could see as much as four hundred thirty five hundred millimeters of rain extraordinary ok thanks for that everton head on the news on creating excitement but also a concern any rock is can't prepare for a historic vote on independence thousands of random muslims if escape persecution of me and my facing and use right in bangladesh. and in sport ghana may seize on target four times as barcelona hands on thrashing. supreme court has criticised the election board for refusing to comply with an order to open a computer service used in last month's presidential poll says this means the opposition's claim. could be true the court has been explaining why president.

a new poll is due in october our correspondent stephanie decker is in nairobi about these accusations. the verdict the final report is now into it that our the judge has been very meticulous and this is just not the final report quite. it is one of the interesting thing that we've heard just in the last hour or so is when it comes to thirty fourth you know this is the final court of the result of many others thirty for a good start at the polling station then there's thirty four b. which is the can and then there is one final form that announces who the president is what we just heard that the security features were not present at all not form and therefore the supreme court cannot verify the authenticity but i don't think it gets any more symbolic than that jane. where we are right now as you've been reporting earlier some of the things that the supreme court judges have said that

the electoral commission to infiltrate has been compromised but they haven't gone into details about what they mean by infiltrated that they refused the election commission refused to open up their server to be investigating their own questions well if they had anything to hide why would that be doing that so a lot of issues about you know the actual security. why they weren't admitted. with the actual electronic system so all of this and they're still going on i think he also one of the recommended recommendations that they're going to make at the end of the. because we might need reforms people will probably want reform they're hearing about. and then we have forty days. to take place whether they are ready or not other than the reforms what's going to happen next. what's going to happen next what are the expectations now in the run up to the elections again. i would think.

that yesterday we heard that the for. them. here they're ready. so we were going to have a meeting between the commission and. where to go next which is probably what we're expecting. in the day i think looking at what is happening. with the electoral judgment and we're going to see what they're going to meeting has been postponed because they want to go through the report is going to take them quite i think because it and the. big question here is what is going to be reformed. agree to it. and i think. the recommendations are going to come out of the supreme court.

as a political risk analysts he's warning of the potential of a constitutional crisis in the country. to do is to go through this judgment with a lot of detail identify the legalities identify the regularity. committee try to raise those issues does this by the supreme court for them to be ready for an election did a very high probability of a crisis. do you believe. because what are the french technology company. with the. knowledge and the. technology. to the marketplace. bring the technology to customize it and make sure that nothing is up with a technology to be knowledge and good for another election and it's also important

to note that for the seven or eight there was a probability that there would be no clear winner during the presidential election so i thought i was already preparing for these kind of eventually. with them in place and all they need to do is to get a new technology acceptable to the world and to believe it would be. the united states ambassador to the united nations and insists does not want war with north korea and a provocative speech to the u.n. on tuesday the u.s. president threatened to destroy a north korea if america were to be attacked it was a call they want a red state an accused of supporting terrorists a diplomatic efforts james phase has from the u.n. . 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 this. message is coming together but once he headed to the general assembly chamber he's excellent 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. and we can bring in james bays he is at the united nations now james i believe that the

mexican foreign minister has just spoken and given an update on the earthquake what it is. just at the start of the proceedings before all the leaders started their speeches again in the general assembly about twenty minutes ago the mexican foreign minister from the mexican seat in the general assembly addressed briefly the general assembly. said that the latest figures he had said that there were now two hundred nineteen people who had died in the earthquake and he thanked the general assembly thanked other leaders for their messages of support for international assistance with this second earthquake thanks for that james also we believe at the moment donald trump and king abdullah will be meeting of jordan or any minute now obviously they've got a lot to talk about. yeah absolutely we're having to look in very different directions here at the general assembly because lots of things all going on at once

the main speeches continue in the hall of the general assembly different world leaders are speaking there a security council meeting is about to get underway so world leaders will be speaking separately there and that specifically on u.n. peacekeeping we're also looking at all the meetings that the world leaders are having amongst themselves the individual bilateral meetings and that's where president trump's meetings are interesting the ones that are taking place as you say right now meeting king abdullah of jordan meeting soon mahmoud abbas the president of the palestinian authority so i think in those discussions this question is about israel and the palestinians and the president's hope that he can get some sort of peace negotiation underway that's something he's been very optimistic about and also i suspect talk of the iran nuclear deal and whether he's going to pull out of that is because iran's ronny will be addressing the assembly in will be very interesting to hear what he has to say after donald trump speech

he's been tweeting about it already. yeah. yes president rouhani is one of the big speakers today at the general assembly a few hours from now will be carrying that speech live on al-jazeera after those comments from president trump the astonishing comments on north korea that he was prepared to totally destroy another u.n. member state and a very strong comments on iran making it i think much more likely now that he's going to pull out of that nuclear deal he said it was an embarrassment to the united states and one of the worst transactions if not the worst transaction the u.s. has ever carried out i think it makes it very hard for him now to recertify the deal which is supposed to take place next time in the middle of october how are the iranians going to respond to this we have a speech from house and rouhani the president of iran and he's giving a news conference will be following both will be listening james thank you. iraq's

kurdistan region is pushing ahead with an independence referendum next monday despite pressure to call it off president assad bizarrely has remained defiant but as other reports many kurds are worried about the consequences of the vote. on the streets of solomon a year it's business as usual here there are no signs that a historic referendum is just a few days away. many believe it will be called off at the last hour others like shotgun there would be a worried about the consequences even though she plans to say yes because i want my country to him to bend and name is enough for me in so many because we don't trust what will happen after their front on our future is invisible we really don't know not next year we don't know what next month will happen tomorrow what. opposition to holding a vote now is stronger it's eliminating the main drive is coming from president

months old and his party and here they have little foothold his political opponents believe that the timing is wrong we don't have a strong. economy going for structure we don't have national institutions we are fighting corruption unity is absent and we need to build that trust between citizens and the authority so people will be ready to sacrifice their life again. many in this part of kurdistan fear that the referendum will only lead to more conflict there's also a certain level of anxiety because of threats from neighboring countries mainly turkey and iran and those are mostly felt along the border areas where some wonder where the very soon things will change. iran is the second trading partner of the kurdish region after turkey. but lately it has warned that it will close down its

border crossing this would have an impact in places like beijing only five kilometers away from the border. more don't have a reason guys products come from iran and several of his relatives live there. he worries for his business but coming from an older generation he's willing to take the risk. but across the street twenty three year old healthy is still hoping the vote will be postponed and that. definitely have an impact on people here if they close the border they will have nothing to do for a living like trade and people's lives if i lose my job would have to sit in a cafe with other jobless people doing nothing. to dream of an independent kurdistan state is one shared by everyone here it has never been so close but many fear that by pushing further now that dream would become out of reach once again

and heard it is in cinema near a city in iraq's kurdish region but to tell us what's happening behind you what's going on the. world just. heard it. was here and he had played the final say very clearly that the referendum on as scheduled but he did say that all details of solutions that will put forward so far have not. put the blame squarely on the central government in baghdad. saying that ever since the fall of saddam hussein in two thousand and three they did try to be part of iraq by day the kurds went willingly to be part of the central government but instead of a democratic iraq what you have now in his words was a religious and sick perrier government and that is now it was time he. said that he would continue so really nothing new of what we've been hearing so far

over the past few days despite that very strong international pressure that is really on i daily basis for him to at least a postponed that vote all right let's leave it there how to before they draw thank you for that. so ahead on al jazeera. america is not taking my ground under the magnet is repeating what i'm suggesting the main challenger to be germany's next chancellor but martin schultz is struggling to make an impact and you don't wish to get a cheap shot. on the phone because the best picture of the year in israel is denounced by the country's culture minister we'll tell you why. and rivalries between cats on saudi arabia hit the sporting arena that's coming up with sunnah.

witness documentaries that open your eyes at this time on al-jazeera. in a world where journalism as an industry is changing we had fortunate to be able to continue to expand to continue to have that passenger drive and present the stories in a way that is important to our viewers. everyone has a story worth hearing. and cover those that are often ignored we don't weigh our coverage towards one particular region or continent that's why i joined al-jazeera .

and policy and shit which is bad for the family to live inside considering the bad weather rain and inundation by flood water what's needed is the sort of turn to protect the families from their environment the real threat now is disease what the un i'd say are the donor agencies should isabel proper shelter for that's roughly jews who are sitting in this open spaces there's also a more wide toilet here which is a good sign but we see only one not too many if this comes get out more by the taliban whether production things could drastically improve for there if it is in terms of disease exposure and exposure to the environment the first speech on the rangar crisis has done little to reassure the international community u.n. investigators are demanding full access to investigate claims of human rights violations by security forces take he's president spoke to al jazeera about his concerns and the response from and. it is

a very light statement by on some sochi i wish she had made the statement earlier she's not made a very convincing explanation hundreds of thousands of people have fled me and of course the people will syphon her statement did not reassure this we took the initiative and held a meeting on the range of here at the united nations and we should a statement declaration at 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 rakhine muslims. and turkey will provide all necessary help along with other countries for those people who be arriving on the island django malik is the c.e.o. of the u.k. based organization muslim aid he's just visited rakhine state and says the situation is catastrophic. at this moment in time you know living on whatever little bit of russians that we were able to provide previously distributions that was over and over and so forth so whatever that was provided over the last two or

three months is really having to make people are living in a very very precarious situation the escalation of conflict from august twenty fifth to now is having a devastating impact on the lives of many that i have witnessed and saw people living in camps and i was managed i managed to get into a client state sit way which is a central part of the client state in which our office is mostly married men working for the last five years in registered to work there so it's providing humanitarian aid assistance unfortunately that aid is having to be scaled down because of the security situation that's under way at the moment so we're not able to function normally but we did manage to get some access humanitarian aid assistance i participated distribution myself on behalf of the organization to five hundred families that were living in the camps and villages in iran those conditions dozens of refugees you spent years in australian prison camps of finally

being given the news they've been dreaming of being resettled in the united states but around two thousand others will be left behind while government leaders decide their fate some face being sent back home to conflicts. reports from sydney. finally some good news at least for fifty refugees who spent four years in limbo there will be about twenty five from both madison our route will be going to the united states and i just want to thank again president trump for for continuing with that arrangement he is trailing government struck a deal with the united states to resettle up to one thousand two hundred and fifty of the refugees sent to minus island and the route the deal agreed with barack obama has been in doubt after his successor donald trump described as dumb a strain in leaders have always insisted that asylum seekers arriving by boat would never be resettled in this trade now the government has announced only

a fraction of the refugee total will find a new home in the us this is huge for them however with still have over two thousand people who are in an extremely dangerous situation who have been suffering through this sound certainty for years and years and we need to have a solution for everyone who has been taken off shore through this process refugees or naru have told al-jazeera that those chosen for resettlement will be told on thursday while a small number on manis island were told on wednesday for the vast majority though the waiting game continues we are tired from. time. the refugees are minus island in northern papa new

guinea are running out of time to find a place to resettle it's been announced that the center there will shut down next month but many of the refugees don't want to stay in papua new guinea saying it's unsafe following several attacks on them they've been told that they can return to the countries they fled from like iran south sudan and me in march so it appears the doubt and uncertainty will go on. al-jazeera sydney. police in britain never arrested two more men in connection with the bomb attack on a london underground train last week five men are now being questioned officers arrested three men in wales and two in england thirty people were injured when a homemade explosive device detonated during morning rush hour on friday. russian batteries have been holding large scale military exercises near the border with the rest of europe the zapper drills are carried out every four years but this

year's trainings caused alarm some western observers say it's moscow's biggest exercise since the end of the cold war it's also the first one held since russia annexed crimea in two thousand and fourteen as reports. it takes some noise to overpower the din of military jets but weeks of political arguing over joints russian better russian exercises have come close nato countries and allies are spooked particularly the baltics two thousand and seventeen stretches right across russia and better reeses western borderlands europe's doorstep russia's been accused by western political and military leaders of preparing for a big war even of using the drills as possible cover for an invasion but foreign observers watching it's a training ground in baton rouge seems comma quite impressive we have seen some defense systems and some like firing we. would miss arms and we've got good

main challenges facing mounting criticism about his campaign social democrat martin shultz is stuck at about twenty percent support in opinion polls and has been unable to make any headway against merkel. isn't calls for looking at how many voters view the candidates. week off the week martin schultz has been working the crowds no lack of passion and little vs belief in a fad germany and a fair euro 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 glad. he different enough to go you know. it's like you know. something like. thirty two good. good and. spoke for forty five minutes

without notes fluent and driven in another country he might be seen as really exciting but here we can't get anywhere. robin film is an extremely inefficient has been made of the european parliament is respected right across the european side so let's get to the time when many german voters are. sure about i'm going to have made most nicely programming. 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 their solar panels back to the

national grid for profits. 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 greens offer conservatives. to keep things. they don't want so just. i was 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 he was 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 you and michael 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 martin 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 anyone who flies regularly on a airplane may be at risk from contaminated and that's according to new research published by the world health organization u.k. based airline has announced it's trying out a new filtering system but that's not connected to the findings apparently alone has. if you get on a plane nearly any commercial flight events allow you to breathe normally the air pumped into the cabin includes bleed adults being sucked in by the engines then compressed and finally circulated with the existing air inside the aircraft but sometimes that bleed air is contaminated remnants of engine fuel or liquids schools instance on major airlines including one in may when cabin crew became ill from the fumes while a study published in the w. chose public health journal says a low level leakage into the aircraft could be
