12:02 am
in mexico desperately scrambling through rubble searching for survivors of a seven point one magnitude earthquake which has killed at least two hundred twenty four people the quake struck the poor area of mexico at one fourteen p.m. local time on tuesday at about age of seven point one death for just fifty one kilometers its impact has been felt further than just that area including in mexico city and will have a city and morelos and state hundreds of buildings collapsed in and around the capital among them a school where five fighters found the bodies of at least twenty two children and two adults and other thirty peoples and twelve adults remain missing and perodua guess reports in mexico city a desperate search to save lives continued through the night and into the morning these used to be a school but the magnitude seven point one quake reduced to rubble bodies have been recovered the children and teachers are missing thousands of volunteers have taken
12:03 am
hundreds and yet today in mexico city in various sites where it is prolapse and also in another break the race yesterday they came with rakes and shovels in which every two hours they could find we're here to say they said they're not going anywhere until they find more people alive the quake struck at lunchtime on tuesday course info since to run to safety to tehran to the station captured in the moments afterwards people are say is the wreckage across the capital dozens of buildings have collapsed the extent of the. now homes destroyed apartments and businesses but lee damaged two million people without electricity and the nation again in mourning after another major earthquake shook the country a month for lies a down on his mochas warned not to light up because of gas leaks. outside the capital many other towns and cities report widespread damage and deaths the
12:04 am
epicenter of the quake was a state about one hundred twenty kilometers from the capital in more than a dozen we're going to turn to going to jeanne going well there are five total deaths reported but we want to cross check our data to see if there are more people who are sixteen of them or from who. it was even going. to day makes some people hurt taking part in on the end of a story of another devastating earthquake in haiti two years ago that eighteenth of september will now be a day of remembrance not just for one but for two the sisters and rescuers for you have a number of families mourning the dead we've rice. mexico city and jessica. joins us live now from mexico city so any hope of finding anyone else trapped in the rubble. how long they're still working at the school behind me the reason i'm speaking so quietly is that
12:05 am
the what is going to that they want absolute silence of can possibly get it will hear of your noise but you'll notice as well the dramatic silence in the middle of such a busy city like mexico and that is because the a walking in the wreckage and if we hear a noise the trying to establish if that is someone trying to reach out for help or hear scratching noise just trying to do something to let the rescuers who are in the rubble know they think there is one girl trapped in there at the moment we have been in contact with of the managed to get a camera very close to her but that space is probably somewhere in the region of thirty centimeters by thirty centimeters and we understand that she is trapped by a large client know from the school the been twenty five bodies that have been taken twenty one children four adults it's thought there could be up to thirty still in the school but many locals are saying that the number could be far higher that there are a number of children who aren't accounted for of course what happens in these situations is that when the earthquake strikes people suddenly turn up take their
12:06 am
children away and don't think to inform the authorities or can't get in touch with the authorities and so there may be more than thirty there may be less than thirty in the building but for the moment people are coming from all over the city here to do what they can to help to move the rubble away but they're also turning up with food and water for the rescuers and the people who are on the site here to make sure that they are not nations this stained as this operation looks to continue through a second night and aside from where you are has been a huge earthquake tell us about their efforts around mexico or in the areas that we've been talking about here. in many places i've saved mexico we are looking to see where we can bring help what we can do to help as quickly as possible. many turns have been impacted some of them i'm not entirely sure how badly yet communication has been difficult obviously
12:07 am
the authorities are trying to get to as many of these places as quickly as they can and to give what support they can. the big worry of course here at the moment is that with such a large earthquake there been a number of aftershocks but nothing significant in fact people around this city have been saying that they haven't felt anything at all no calling to geological survey we were told that there have been a number of aftershocks that they have been reasonably significant because of the city and the noise in the vibration that's normally created people haven't felt them and they are worried they're worried that there is another aftershock coming because this was so shallow less than thirty. kilometers deep the there one need that there will be a second aftershock and that could cause more problems of course buildings that were damaged in that first very large earthquake could be at risk if we managed to get through that first we may be weakened and the second wave could cause more damage so it's really just a case at the moment of assessing the damage not just here in mexico city but right across the country checking what's going on checking what is needed helping anyone
12:08 am
that they can but for a lot of people would be were shocked by the earthquake coming as you have from one part of actually thirty years after the big thirty two years after the beginning of mexico city and they're concerned and they're warning alan fischer thank you very much indeed. iran's president has told the united nations that his country will not break the nuclear deal brokered in twenty fifteen between tehran and six major powers it has are only added that iran would respond quote decisively and resolutely to any violation also described u.s. president donald trump speech on tuesday as ignorant absurd and hateful rhetoric i declare before you that iran will not be the first country to violate the agreement but it will respond decisively and resolutely to a violation by any party it will be a great pity if this agreement were to be destroyed by rogue newcomers to the world
12:09 am
of politics the world would have lost a great opportunity but such unfortunate behavior will never impede iran's course of progress and advancement by violating its international commitments the new u.s. administration only destroyed its own credibility and undermined its national confidence in negotiating with it. autocratic otoh james bays is at the united nations headquarters in new york so the fallout from president trump speech still being felt there. yes was very much the focus today all the iran nuclear deal which he said was an embarrassment to the u.s. the worst transaction the u.s. has carried out in the history he's gone on to say while he was having meetings here in new york that he's already made a decision about the nuclear deal of what he's going to do and he said he would let reporters know he hasn't yet he has until the fifteenth of october fifteenth of
12:10 am
next month to certify the deal again or not certify it again not at all clear from the white house when we're going to hear from president trump but important meetings taking place here at the united nations about that deal because it wasn't just a deal between the u.s. and iran it was a deal between the international community and iran in twenty fifteen after a real painstaking diplomacy that took place across a number of different european cities over a two year period while those key nations the revolt in the negotiations they called the p five plus one the five permanent members of the u.n. security council and germany were negotiating with iran in fact is another player that doesn't get mentioned and that's the e.u. because they also were at the table they are all coming in here to united nations headquarters in the next hour in about forty minutes forty five minutes from now they'll be arriving here for a meeting that is taking place at six p.m.
12:11 am
local time in fact just moments ago just before you came to me the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov who will be taking russia c. to that meeting walked past us the others will be arriving here soon and what is important about that meeting every single nation that with the exception of the u.s. wants to keep this deal so right now we have. a situation where the u.s. is very much at odds with the rest of the international community countries like russia and china but also with some of its close allies like the u.s. france and germany on whether to stay in this nuclear deal and aside from the at the u.n. president he has said that the nuclear deal either remains as it is or it will collapse so appealing that leaves in the difficulty of of if that is pushed to the brink what to do next. well it's made everything much harder that's what many diplomats told me with regard to the nuclear deal and the very strong language that president trump has used because the strong language in
12:12 am
that speech wasn't just about the nuclear deal it was about north korea too and some diplomats have said to me if your this stage trying to pull a north korea situation back from the brink and say to the north koreans you need to drop your nuclear ambitions you need to come to the table why would the north koreans come to the table if they see that another nation went to the table with the u.s. and other international partners and the deal that they did may now be about to collapse because the u.s. is thinking of pulling out of it james bays thank you very much indeed. spain's prime minister's demanding an end to what he calls radicalism as separatist street protests in barcelona continue into the night. thousands of people have gathered outside the ministry of finance there demanding an independence referendum for catalonia be allowed to go ahead on october the
12:13 am
first spain's government has declared the vote illegal earlier on wednesday police raided regional government offices in barcelona arresting thirteen people including a junior minister. stop want and for all this escalation of radicalism and disobedience there is still time to avoid bigger problems and no one benefits from this tension and the atmosphere of defiance in the face of justice and the law. karl penhall has spent the day at the rally in barcelona thousands of independence supporters have not got that message many of them the been here since nine o'clock this morning they've been here for more than twelve oz as the work day ended thousands more from going to the streets they are angry because early this morning that police national police raided the offices the project finance offices of the catalonia regional government police also raided an industrial warehouse and seized more than ten million followed by the central government is
12:14 am
staging an operation to try and shut down this referendum to stop it happening they're told i'm throwing the president's supporters are turning out and saying this is more about what i just want to kind of force over to this saw ok this is another group opposing the pending supporters who are for why don't the sunni. day of march have another pot of fossil long enough to join the main body of the protest yeah ok and swirling the right soft the movement swallow bottles on the street the protesters are not going home they are not farming the spanish prime minister marianna lahore's message you know to be addressed tonight that there referendum is on democratic sending a message that they want to hold the referendum and they want to break away from spying to become an independent would probably. do much more to come here now does
12:15 am
their news out. refugee lottery is some asylum seekers in australia and prison camps are resettled in the u.s. we look at the thousands still in limbo. police fired tear gas outside kenya's court as it delivers its full judgment in last month's presidential election. and the rivalry between qatar and saudi arabia hit the sporting arena that's coming up with joe. ark and maria has made landfall in the u.s. territory of push rico in the caribbean it's one of the strongest hearkens ever to hit the island a category four storm has winds of two hundred fifty kilometers per hour with officials warning of catastrophic damage reports from san juan. puerto rico's southeast coast was the first to feel the effects of hurricane maria but the entire country is now dealing with one of the most powerful storms to ever bear down on
12:16 am
this island with winds of two hundred fifty kilometers per hour heavy rains and tidal surges these conditions are expected to last for hours puerto rico has long been spared from a direct hit as hurricanes tend to veer either south or north of the island the last direct hit from a category four hurricane was decades ago and officials are preparing for the worst at least a million people are already without power puerto rico's ailing electricity grid is still recovering from hurricane erma this time power could be out for months the nearby u.s. virgin islands also took a direct hit but many residents leaving before maria arrived. figure out where i was going to stay in puerto rico and i think a lot of people were in the same boat i mean you had everybody leaving from the d.t.i. people leaving from the u.s. . but i'm going to be. widespread flooding is now a concern as are mudslides in the islands mountainous regions it's the storm surges could reach three meters here in san juan we've been getting battered by hurricane
12:17 am
force winds for hours and rain is pouring in but if you look down on the street you can see the kind of damage that's been done windows have been blown out roots ripped off debris all over the place and if you think these are the conditions here in the capital where buildings are moderately well built the picture on the southeast coast where the storm made landfall and in the rural areas could be potentially a lot worse as hurricane maria continues its destructive path across puerto rico the recovery in this u.s. territory already dealing with so many challenges could be a long one. described as a category two hurricane has been downgraded the forecast is a warning that could strengthen again by thursday. or yet up. i'm is now that the eye of the storm has left the island of puerto rico there's not much between it and the turks and caicos other than very warm water that is fuel for
12:18 am
a hurricane like this it could once again pick up but here in puerto rico the story is far from over i was slowly getting pictures and reports from different parts of the island of localized flooding of potentially much slides and of course those tidal surges but the big news here is that three and a half million people in this island and now without power power is going off everywhere and it may not be restored for months and months because puerto rico's power grid is very weak it's very old there's been no investment in it so that is a major concern and in the last few minutes the governor of puerto rico has announced a curfew that begins in about forty five minutes that potentially is to stop any crime on the island but also to keep people safe but out here in san juan people are actually beginning to emerge from shelters and go back to their homes and there is a lot of damage here in the capital we saw windows blowing out this morning roofs being peeled off the recovery here is going to take a very long time but i think the picture on the coast and the picture on the inland
12:19 am
in the mountainous regions could be far worse than we're seeing here in the capital and in general it's that all this harken season has been incredible had things of some paper says more than once is this this is kind of the damage is going to be phenomenal as. it is i mean i was standing on this exact spot two weeks ago when hurricane grazed past puerto rico after wreaking huge damage in the caribbean dominique who was hit yesterday by hurricane maria ninety percent of the buildings on that island are gone and turks and came across where hurricane maria is heading now was battered before by another storm so we're seeing a pretty of president of hurricane season and obviously there is talk about whether climate change is playing a part in all this because the oceans here. are a couple of degrees warmer than they normally would be in those hot water as it's like bathwater really forms fuel for these hurricanes so that's a big question but i think for the moment here in puerto rico the concentration
12:20 am
will be on what's happening in those hard to reach communities what's happening on the coast and just how bad things are there because the clear picture has not yet emerged it's very difficult without power without communications i think in the next few hours we're going to see some horrifying stories of some catastrophic damage across this island and again i thank you very much indeed. well anna touched on it there just joining us to discuss the correlation between climate change and hearkens as sean sublette he's a meteorologist working with climate central in princeton new jersey thank you very much indeed for being with us so do you think there is a link between the survey strong or these what seems like more hurricanes and stronger levels of hearkens and climate change i think there certainly is at least a little bit of a link as your reporter alluded to earlier the waters are about one to two degrees celsius warmer than they were about fifty to one hundred years ago and it is the warm water that fuels hurricanes and without doubt you will certainly have them but
12:21 am
they will not grow to quite the intensity that we have seen recently and is it possible to quantify them as any one study of the kind of the effects over the years it possible to quantify that link. yeah that is really where the trick is is making a quantification of just how much more intense the hurricanes are most of the early research suggests somewhere between perhaps ten to fifteen percent stronger and regarding the wind speed but most of what we're concerned about is storm surge and intense rainfall with the storms and as all that kind of works its way into an island such as puerto rico which has very high terrain that lends itself to mudslides which are absolutely devastating and what about the other factors in the mission of the business the home the warm water can you explain to us and more detail how that works and what other factors might be at play i'm sorry could you repeat please you know you mentioned the effect of the woman water in strengthening or potentially strengthening the severity of hearkens can you explain how that
12:22 am
process works a bit more in detail and also whether that other factors that might be affecting it yeah there are a couple other things at play you need to have at least a little bit of moisture in the in the middle parts of the atmosphere and the winds throughout the depth of the atmosphere need to be very light so those are also playing a key role and howard king has developed but the rule fuel for the storms does start with that ocean water so the warmer the ocean water the more heat you can really put into your storm and that's what ultimately going to generate a more powerful storm and what you think needs to happen i mean presumably the people at least get more warning now that they're coming so that probably helps in trying to reduce the numbers of people who are victim to them but what do you think needs to be done in terms of climate change and the harlequins him to hitler. well we already have a bit enough greenhouse gas into the atmosphere where warming is going to continue even if we were to suddenly just stop all greenhouse gas emissions immediately and
12:23 am
would take a while for the atmosphere to kind of come to equilibrium and stop warming so anything that we can do to stop putting greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will least slow down any kind of woman that goes on in the atmosphere as well as into the oceans as a lot of the energy is going into warming the oceans all the way down to a very deep level and what do you make about the current atmosphere surrounding climate change and whether or not it's a factor in in bringing on these kind of americans i mean those being a bit of research suggesting that some of the west impacts of climate change will perhaps overstated by some of the scientists who are at the heart of this it does it become confusing for people who are watching to know whether there really is a coronation and whether what they're doing makes a difference i mean there really is a lot going on one of the things we like to point out is that climate change isn't causing a particular hurricane what it can do is make
12:24 am
a very bad hurricane even worse or potentially horrifying storm catastrophic so it is going to be something that allows hurricanes to become stronger when the rest of the environmental conditions allow for hurricanes to form in the first place but none of the research suggests that all hurricanes will start to become more numerous but it does suggest that the strongest ones that do manage to develop will become a bit stronger thank you very much indeed for joining us showing some that thank you but you. ranger a few g.'s who escaped violence from me and mon fled to bangladesh and now having to deal with heavy flooding their days of rain flooded rice paddy fields with thousands put up makeshift shelters but there is some relief a new u.n. camp has been set up and it has much needed water proof tents time to chowdhury has moved from cox's but. this is the newly allocated forest land given by the
12:25 am
government to shelter the newly arrived rowing jet refugees this is a place where we also for a spot at some of the newly arrived whether production time provided by the un h.c.r. this is what is badly needed in this guy even some of the ok i'm going to have this sort of done because this refugee shelter i have only made out of bamboo sticks and dollars in ship which is bad for the family to live inside considering the bad weather rain and inundation by flood water what's needed is this out of town to protect the families from their environment the real sense now is disease what they you and they'd say oh now that don't have an agency should do is the build proper shelter for does refugees who are sitting in this open spaces there's also a more wide toilet which is a good sign but we see only one not too many if this comes good out mo by the taliban whether production things could drastically improve for that as it is in
12:26 am
terms of disease exposure and exposure to the environment dozens of refugees who spent years in australian prison camps have finally been given the news that they've been dreaming of not 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 afghanistan south sudan and other countries in conflict zones you know 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 trouble for continuing with that arrangement the is trailing government struck a deal with the united states to resettle up to one thousand two hundred and fifty of the refugees it sent to minus island and the route the deal agreed with barack obama has been in doubt after his successor donald trump described it as dumb and
12:27 am
straining leaders have always insisted that asylum seekers arriving by boat would never be resettled in this trade and 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 we're 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.
12:28 am
the refugees on minus island in northern papua 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 million mark so it appears the doubt and uncertainty will go on yahoo mohammed al jazeera sydney. you stay with us on the news hour still to come we check out the new way to pay her to u.k. supermarket. and not to win but through manages a medal the same year says the story double or not jones. thank.
12:29 am
the with. hello there we've been seeing a fair amount of severe weather across europe recently it's this area of cloud we're now watching it's given us a lot of snow over the alps as a very heavy downpours too with the whole thing is slowly spiraling its way towards the east as it does so it is breaking up a little bit so hopefully a little bit less in the way of very intense rains as we head through thursday but still one or two spots along need to be rather lively ahead of that system it's been very hot recently but the whole weather is being chased out now twenty one degrees will be the maximum temperature there in bucharest that's a bit of a drop towards the west though is cooler than that and we're looking at a top temperature of twenty one degrees in paris and that's despite seeing quite a bit of sunshine the next system is piling in from the atlantic there and for some of us across the british isles it will be rather wet and that gradually fizzles out as it makes its way further east and then another system well as we head through friday said generally in the northwest pretty wet at the moment as one system after
12:30 am
another across the other side of the mediterranean you can still see the winds there filtering a little bit further south with so along the north coast of egypt generally following drawing a not too hot for the west it's also becoming a little bit cooler so we'll see the temperatures there in tunis get to that he one degrees as we head into friday of outages will get to twenty nine. the world's primary could change producing nation. is at the forefront of the war on drugs with them we're talking about serious organized crime as a country where reaching a critical point while some have made fortunes many others have suffered at the hands of this multi-billion dollar industry both of whom of this business will go on for ever if a much change all of global policies do who are the winners and losers of this illicit trade snow of the andes at this time.
12:31 am
now which is. where every. amount of top stories here now to syria rescuers in mexico searching through collapsed buildings to find survivors of a minute huge seven point one earthquake which has killed at least two hundred
12:32 am
twenty four people twenty two of them children. iran's president hassan rouhani has told a un general assembly that his nation will not break the nuclear deal brokered in twenty fifteen but will respond decisively and resolutely to any violation. and maria has made landfall on the island a question recur in the caribbean with winds of two hundred fifty kilometers per hour for shells have warned of catastrophic damage. kenya's supreme court has blamed the electoral commission press decision to an all last month's presidential election the court judges say the electoral commission refused to allow them to scrutinize the computer servers which opposition leader said were hacked president who cannot as reelection was an hour earlier this month and a rerun issue in october stephanie decker reports from nairobi. these are unprecedented times in kenya has been atmosphere of uncertainty ever since supreme court judges to know the results of last month's presidential
12:33 am
election. let's. speak. after twenty days of speculation and accusations since the result was an old kenyans were finally given specific details about why i have business is. disobedience of this court's order and. gusts into seventeen in critical area leaves us with no option but to accept. the petition claims that the i base says i too system was infiltrated and compromised supreme court judges blame the electoral body in charge
12:34 am
of the elections the i.e.c. outside the courts opposition supporters demanded that i receive a horn echoing the message of opposition leader raila odinga he says he will take part in the election mr changes in the organization which runs it. a small stand off ensued when a handful of supporters a president who can yell to turned up in police used tear gas to end it as the day went on the police presence increased security has been tightened around the supreme court they cordoned off some of the despite the still at large crowd of mazda for mayor most of them are supporters of the opposition candidate writing on the police are not taking any chances and they've come out on horseback something that you don't usually see very often. in water cannons the free courts still going on hours and hours now getting into the details of what exactly went wrong in all this and all the action a long list of technical irregularities and questionable explanations both with the
12:35 am
tally forms and the multi million electronic voting system from the. a.b.c. it's been. you can the chairman mr dean and the head of the group. so it's been. great. nobody seems to know it is going to settle. the i.v.c. is organizing what they're calling a fresh election between ryan and. currently planned for tobin seventeen but the french company in charge of the electronic voting system says it won't be ready by then the i.v.c. is set to meet with both sides to decide what next election could be delayed but according to the constitution it must be held by a tube or the thirty first whether everyone is ready or not stephanie decker or jazeera nairobi. when this news get out joins me now she's a partner in g.b.s. africa a consultancy advising on africa's political and economic risks thanks for coming
12:36 am
in so the supreme court finally explain why they made the decision to to run the election again and they said they they know that because the polls are another transparent nor verifiable how are they going to make them transparent verifiable in time for another election what the supreme court judges of call for lauren is for the i b c so they're lecture all the body that is that these minded to run kenya the election to go back to the drawing board to ensure that they have the systems that are required to ensure that the election be free and fair and i mean in the in the time scale how is that is that going to be possible it is almost unlikely they had already said that they're lection would run on their october seventeenth as you heard there one of the suppliers on their equipment say there would be radio for their location to run on the seventeen so it's highly unlikely that we'll have an election on the seventeen bad sartain to be within the
12:37 am
constitution that we must they must be ready by the end of october otherwise you're going to have a constitution vacuum and rather nigga who said that he won't participate in the new election unless some of his demands are met. how likely is it that they will change the constitution of the electoral commission to satisfy him what you think is going to happen on that front you know what we're loading chris calling for is not is not something it's very clear the supreme court judgment was very clear that the blame lies on the electoral commission so the nurse the coalition led by the low danger has called for their electoral commission chairman to resign and to read tender there the ballot paper the ballot boxes and print new papers to have new supply of new body the demands are quite extensive but surely the board do you that that sort of bungle does alexion cannot be trusted to run another election i doubt it do you think that the. i mean is difficult to predict at this stage but what kind of outcome do think we can expect if the conditions are are changing that's
12:38 am
the direction is rerun you know what we can only hope that the outcome the kenyans hope for the want a leader that is the elected by the people so they can hold that leader countable we are hopeful that there the call to ensure that we have everything in place to run an election are met but kenya as i said earlier we have a new constitution so that business is running as no more government departments are running so we don't have a vacuum it's just the presidency but i'm certain that we're going to get our house in order for flea and the kind of the dispute that there was between or apparent dispute between president kenyatta and the judges when he seemed to be kind of attacking them and saying he didn't like what they'd done they essentially said look if you don't like what we've done then you have to address the constitutional issue to do that without enough of a shot across his bows do you think for him to kind of back off those kind of remarks lower in kenya has come a long way you know there's been blood and sweat to get where to have credible institution that are independent of the politics and just is who is this supreme
12:39 am
court judge was very clear that we will follow the new the law of kenya and not to a piece anybody to please any any political and so i think it's clear and i think kenyans will work what will make sure that we cannot go back to the drawing board or have a constitution to her the supreme courts are certainly not going to get out thank you very much indeed committed to this moment thank you we want to take you back to mexico now we're following developments are following that magnitude seven point one earthquake alan fischer is in mexico city for us and alan understand that there are some developments where you are at the school where they've been looking for any survivors. well you worth as early in the hour we're talking a variable voice that's because the call for silence you will often see the hands go up in the air like this that's the so in that they want everything quiet we had that a couple of times in the last hour and the reason was they were close in the rubble to making contact with a young girl who was trapped as i said she was in
12:40 am
