and i'm jane dutton this is the news live from coming up in the next sixty minutes . second vice president tells the u.n. the rangar crisis is getting better even as hundreds of thousands are stuck in camps in bangladesh. the palestinian president expresses optimism during his speech at the u.n. general assembly at all times peace plan for the middle east. thirty six hours after a devastating earthquake killed more than two hundred thirty people in mexico rescue workers find a survivor in the rubble. heritage and runs after years of conflict we look at how syrians are trying to preserve their. myanmar's second vice president has been trying to reassure the international community that the situation in rakhine state is improving henry fun tayo told the united nations general assembly that there's been no violence there since early

this month more than four hundred twenty thousand muslim rangar have sought sanctuary in bangladesh since the military crackdown began in myanmar late last month many are still trapped at the border yes no denying that this is a problem of significant. i'm happy to inform you that don't see resume has improved no i am prices have been reported since september accordingly we are concerned while reporting the numbers of muslims cursing. remain. right we would need to find out the reason for this exodus what is a little known is the great march journey of the muslim population this fighter to remain near. the head of mir mas government and nobel peace laureate and son suit

she's been criticized for ignoring their plight she's repeated the government's stance that the military crackdown in rakhine state is against armed groups and not civilians whatever we do we should have we must try to avoid collateral damage and or or. or in any action that would hurt innocent civilians it is very difficult to counter terrorism because terrorism by its nature means that some of their members are imbedded in the ordinary population and we can distinguish the one from the other is very important we don't want to hurt those who are innocent but at the same time we have to make sure that terrorists are not allowed to carry on with their activities. correspondent. is in bangladesh near the border with me and said it seems that the situation has got

better is that what you're hearing from your side. not i wish that was the case with that's not what we are hearing that's not what we are witnessing in the bottom we have several teams actually scouting the border area and the refugee camps almost every day now for over through two weeks what we see when we go to the border is smoke billowing from on the other side of the border trickledown effect which is coming across some by there are enough pretty bad actually cross at night because it's too dangerous of a journey at least two hundred refugees died while trying to cross by boat on this side when you talk to the refugees on the ground they're giving a totally different picture they said look it's not only the security forces that harassing us it is also the host. villagers were telling us to leave this country go to bangladesh you're not man marry citizen otherwise we'll kill you this is just a day before that's and countered that with the refugees we had that's what they

were telling us horror stories of rape has been been shot in front of them and many other horror stories like that it's not just us reporters from all around the world witnessing this and just the sheer number of refugees within a span of three weeks it's just unprecedented in history close to four hundred seventy thousand people are now in the refugee camps in a just one condition so they have to question themselves this is not an event that just happened last three weeks it's a decade old problem close to three hundred thousand refugees crossed into bangladesh a decade ago still sheltering in a very tiny spot of place and so the idea that this is something new because of a small group of insurgents who actually attacked an outpost and now it appears like they're trying to dramatize is of the. fighting against a major terrorist group the idea that international diplomatic pressure is mounting on them so they have to make some statement now in reaction but the ground reality

is a totally different picture just today in the morning. on a police. radio system sovereign police is on special duty called me and said look we're just at least two thousand five hundred refugees i've this morning we gave them a say to the court. this is the case in every day so i don't know what they're downplaying and what is their strategy is and looking at the situation in bangladesh and we know that they've been heavy rains in that not much aid is getting then they don't know when they where are they going to end up what are they saying about returning home to me and because there was a chisel made by and do they take the. no they're saying look what we witnessed there on the other side of the broader where a very scared to go back some of them lost their very dear family members friends

and other related relatives so they're saying that will only go back that there is a major international mediation in this because we have been threatened we have lost family members we don't want to go back and there is a fundamental question how do they identify these people who crossed over this saying that will take them back they don't have documents that don't have citizenship they don't have any kind of identification card because most of these people are dirt poor on the other hand banger this government has started a biometric identification process at least identifying those who recently called cost over to bangladesh they eventually they can at least prove that these people came here as refugees but saying that will take them back is a very open ended question how when and what process without international mediation the situation on the ground as far as aid goes it's still very dissimilar and inadequate what these people need is weatherproof and waterproofed and because most of that ninety nine percent of the refugees living in tent made of nothing but

a plastic sheet and several bumble poles and the children and mother are exposed to heavy torrential rains may deep water when it gets flooded and the spread of disease and starvation is very much imminent according to the aid agencies. well joining me now is format malaysian foreign minister. envoy for the organization of islamic cooperation is very good to have you with us i mean what what a dire situation there and then he has the government that actually the situation is coming under control i mean what are they playing at. i find difficulty whenever demand my side say that the question is under control all the issue is being resolved so far they have not been good at keeping would be a part of the bargain that he was most important is the proof of the pudding is in the eating of it so i think they have to do something that can reassure the

international community you do you and that india doing something the really concrete even when they are talking about it is going to mean more action than words isn't it i don't know if we have enough of the woods from there and even need international mediators law of course now what we need actions these are human and tearin catastrophic is just not simply you know we've been when the cd can come back. i mean why would there be no comeback gates no documents. and if they have been accused as they have been of ethnic cleansing i mean is the end game then eventually to get rid of as many of them as they can because the longer this takes the more they getting rid of i think they have in the least about two thirds of the population. is outside because in various countries and each. we're seeing this this problem and every time i do one proof proof of identity when

there everything short i thing is to be. something that is not believable and i would like to see something more concrete something that i can trust and so far whenever there is pressure to overrate international community has done very well in changing their narrative in hewing the soft money there is no violence of course raise no violence and no resources they are the ones that have created new barriers ok we've seen this hand-wringing from the international community oh it's terrible look what's happening and yet nothing is being done i'm not sure what can be done who do you talk to do you talk to and son suchi she says give me more time or do you go straight to the military i think first of all the need to be moving a wee from with state of denial. there is a problem there is

a real hunger community that precedes the coming off the slum into iraq and then state or icon so i think there isn't a need for concrete action i look at it this week. louder even under chapter eight the regional organization must come out to condemn general sorry to condemn crime against humanity we had claimed to do before two million people who perished and i think we do not want to repeat these but if you go to a military which has been accused of being anti equated i mean how are they going to change their ways this is how they've been behaving for many many years what's what's going to i do foresee transform them serving to democracy they were affected wire or various countries i think to much to quick action to stop. arms being exported to myanmar i think we need a corporation of china we need to go bridge and of in the year we need to

cooperation of ukraine we need cooperation off russia we need a corporation at least three not to export at least for this time and britain i think have taken a very positive step in stopping the training programs for year police because these are the people who put treated to a crime and i think i want to see them arresting some of the. moments and. and stop all these hate came and we can try and would have been can be taken against you know to get to the accounts can be frozen if nothing of this kind is going to be done if you know never mind let the international community give it sure and she give her a sure in the sort of kofi annan commission report he came up with a very good report but nothing is going to be done so i think they might see their scenes the have decided to be part of the international community to opening up their country. they cannot we when we get democracy must be inclusive of

minorities not as long as the other minorities are operational separate but in my and my side i think we need we want to engage them but they must be wanting to engage and stop blaming this for the state that we are facing in other words it will affect the stability of the of the region as well as the world taken by. the vice president of the us. so i am quite happy to see the us came out with a very strong statement france came out with a very strong statement. strong statement oh i see good strong statement and. common position but i know minister of foreign affairs came out with a strong statement we need from there and see some action thank you very much thank you for the day three days of mourning have been declared in mexico where at least two hundred thirty people have died in the worst earthquake to hit the country in

thirty years rescuers pulled a survivor from the rubble of one of the collapsed buildings the capital mexico city has been hit hardest and the search for survivors continues over thirty six hours after the magnitude seven point one earthquake helen fisher has the details. we wanted a small victory in a place where we suffered too many losses the call for silence. caught between. the rescue. through the early on wednesday two students were pulled from this school this is where twenty five twenty one children who are adults are really missing some children had a lucky escape. the scene as well lit and there are dozens of rescuers waiting for news but all they can do at the moment is essentially unpeel the devry like an onion removing layer after layer in the hope they will uncover someone who is

trapped in the building and still alive it's hard work it's difficult work but there's no one here ready to give up but i don't like it there was going to but i've been here since five in the morning to help others we all need each other and this could happen to me too i've been helping since the moment it happened in other parts of the country the begun to bury the dead the human cost of a tremor that ripped and scarred the countryside how are you. going to be able now i hope the state government the federal government will help us because this block is destroyed i hope they don't just come here and say we will support you we will help you you are not alone and it's a lawyer it's the moment to change we felt we were safe because the had never been a quake of this nature. many buildings have been left hugely unstable they could collapse at any point and this is a country the noise when you have an earthquake you have aftershocks they know the danger we can prepare for they can do nothing about the when and the where alan

fischer al-jazeera mexico city plans more ahead on the news including a show of support for yemen's rebels on the third anniversary of their takeover of the capital sana put aboard china's fastest train service but some question whether it's really necessary. and find out how traditional martial arts are fairing in the face of competition from m.m.a. in sport was son of. north korea has reacted strongly to the u.s. president's speech at the u.n. in which he threatened to totally destroy the country donald trump singled out iran and north korea by calling them rogue nations if trump is thinking about surprising us with the sound of a dog barking bin he is clearly dreaming the chinese government has reiterated its stance that the third missile defense system should be removed from south korea to

deescalate tension in the region in another development there's an offer of humanitarian aid for north korea from across the border the unification minister in seoul says a humanitarian crisis is separate from a political and diplomatic crisis. and the government has consistently clarified its stance that we separate humanitarian aid from political situations considering the poor situation of north korean people especially vulnerable social groups including children and pregnant women the international community continues to stress the necessity of humanitarian aid for north korean people while we respond with strong sanctions to the north korean regimes provocations meanwhile japan has sent an anti missile system to the northern island of hokkaido to north korean rockets flew over the area this month rob mcbride is on the island and sent this report. early morning about how cold dieties port the squid boats are bringing back their catch from a night's work in troubled waters. the sea between japan and the korean peninsula

is regularly targeted by north korea's missile tests some of the bigger boats are now getting insurance against an attack but there's only so much you can protect against propaganda to get i want to use them if the missiles nuclear you can't do anything about it you just finished. the two recent missile launches that passed overhead on their way to the pacific ocean i've added to people's anxiety. i worry for my son because he works on ships in the waters all the parents are worried. daybreak is the preferred time for missile launches. but now with the local military base newly arrived patriot missiles point skywards they can't do much against missiles passing hundreds of kilometers overhead but are meant as a defense against a direct attack on you know here i feel safer but at the same time if they have to

use missiles it means war has started. i'm afraid there will be another north korean missile test when the alarm is raise sirens go off in the street and people are alerted on their mobile phones m biggest cities there would be subways and underpasses to go to but in how people are supposed to get indoors and take shelter as best they can at city hall the man whose job it is to prepare for another alarm is hoping north korea will finally stop its tests on you know what it will get an idea we know we are not the target but no one knows what north korea thinking and that is the scary thing. as last night's catch is auctioned off the fisherman prepared to go out once more not knowing what they'll face next in north. korea's missile lottery macbride al-jazeera japan joining us now is b.j. kim a political commentator and john professor with the university of foreign studies

in seoul good to see you we've got japan china north korea the u.s. it seems they all preparing for something as far as north korea is concerned what is this thing likely to be. no one has any idea about it north korea. still trying to finalize the final stages of their nuclear development so all different countries have different interest in here of course japan on defensive ends resist the report and here in south korea the views are quite divided here is special to donald trump's words at the united nations general assembly speech here. saying the. yeah the some of the dogs were saying there were just too strong too provocative doesn't help the situation here in south korea but the hawks were saying the he did

the right thing he had donald trump send a clear message that those of us on this side is committed to doing anything that's possible you know to deter north korea so the view is very divided that we just had a report about south korean government announcing the humanitarian aid and the reaction in this country is very divided about that too some people are saying yes indeed we agree with the government about the need for continuously sending the human humanitarian aid as a separate one but however. big portion of the population have a lot of doubts whether the current government is doing the right thing so the current government its take on the north korea at this point does not seem to enjoy as much of the support as they used to let's say a few weeks ago and so basically what we are seeing is that this is a country being very much divided regarding how we should deal with north korea from this point on and what does a response to the words the north korean foreign minister's words of sound of

a dog barking when he was responding to donald trump's speech. yes overall i guess south koreans are not that much surprised because actually that particular expression was used several years ago by curran the foreign minister's predecessor within a different context but however you know we're saying we're not surprised coming from north koreans mouth here but it shows once again north korea is not you know slowing down and they are going to continue on in this current course so there was not a big surprise but interesting expression however it was quite entertaining all right and we look forward to your president's speech there in the coming hours good to talk to you b.j. came palestinian president mahmoud abbas says he's optimistic about the u.s. president's peace plan for the middle east he made the comments during his address to the u.n. general assembly abbas accused israel of jeopardizing a two state solution by building more illegal settlements in palestinian areas but

israel is back saying abbas is speech spread falsehood and encouraged hate. despite all international efforts israel continues to breach its commitments and obstruct if it's by continuing to build settlements everywhere everywhere there is no place left for the state of palestine and this is not acceptable for us all for you you have the responsibility israel also rejects the two state solution and this poses a real threat to both peoples the israelis and palestinians alike. the palestinian group hamas which is seen as a rival to abbas reacted to the address by saying our buses speech bears the failure of the settlement project in the gauche asians with israel hamas sources said it was unfortunate that the speech did not defend the resistance of the palestinian people as an inherent right under the occupation hamas was confident that it could work with the palestinian authority to continue the process of

reconciliation now earlier this week egypt's president are the fact that all sisi called on the palestinians and israelis to seize the opportunity for peace. until the palestinian people it's extremely important to unite behind the goal and to overcome differences and seize opportunities and to be ready to accept coexistence with the others who use release and chief stability and security for all and i say and i read my call to the israeli people we have an excellent experience in egypt in peace with you for more than forty years we can repeat this once again peace and security of israelis together with peace and security of the palestinians more leaders will speak at the u.n. general assembly later on thursday we're expecting to hear from south korea as we mentioned a little earlier on yemen russia china jordan and bangladesh will be able to see all of those speeches live right here on al-jazeera. thousands of people holding

a rally in yemen's capital sana'a it marks the third anniversary of the rebels' takeover of the city on wednesday a top aide the leader accuse the waist down its allies of causing chaos in the country and. you know. as we said the iraqis are the front for the americans and today they're stealing yemen's natural gas despite the suffering of the yemeni people and both people are suffering from issues related to both natural gas and petrol either not being able to find it or not being able to benefit from its wealth in all of this the yemeni people are not the ones who benefit it's take a look back at how the crisis in yemen began the rise of the who can be traced back to november two thousand and eleven when then president ali abdullah saleh was forced to hand over power to his deputy and current president. this created a power vacuum the rebels who say they represent the minority shia community took

advantage they took control of the capital sana on september the twenty first two thousand and fourteen with iranian support in response to saudi led coalition began airstrikes in march two thousand and fifteen to defeat the duties and restore yemen's government various rounds of u.n. mediated talks failed to end the conflict more than ten thousand people have been killed since the fighting began. covered yemen extensively joins us now in doha studio there you see the leader there i mean what he's saying how how wrong is he when he blames the west and its allies for a lot of the trouble that they see at the mine where basically the rally today that we saw in the capital so i want to is one of the biggest political rallies in yemen over the last few years i think it's a message by the. this by the saudi led coalition they still remain the biggest political party and the military group in yemen of course has been trading

accusations of the saudis into the united arab emirates over the last two weeks saying that he has built military capabilities and that he's voted to send missiles into both saudi arabia and the united arab emirates and part of this is basically. trying to sort of. present himself as the ultimate political authority and he's taken advantage of the fact that the saudis coalition has failed to make any progress on the ground yemen remains more divided but the hope is backed by for president. still have the upper hand is going to sell enormously that comes from a place of confidence and the international growing international condemnation of the saudi led war there. it is going against them isn't it absolutely you are talking about a population that has seen young men destroy you're talking about entire areas destroyed by the war more than half a million children facing malnutrition you're talking about ten thousand people

were killed hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee their own areas so many people blame saudi arabia the coalition of what's happening to them and therefore this has been the these were very smart to tap into that discontent to expand their political base they remain. popular although they face the other problem problems and challenges one of them being basically very alliance with a former president who has still has control of the elite forces in yemen that's a lie as we've seen it over the last few weeks severely undermined there were clashes between the two so clearly that is these have to be taken seriously they have to be involved in any political solution are there any solutions out there is there anything on the table at the moment the saudis are definitely willing to see a way out of this crisis we've seen reports of saudi arabia's asking of the iranians to help them negotiate a settlement with the healthy is the americas that top admiral in the middle east

has said about a few days ago that iran has been providing the houthi is with sophisticated missiles with the can use in the near future to target the u.a.e. and saudi arabia i think the international community is going definitely push for a way out otherwise we're just going to see further sufferings of millions of yemenis thank you has been. syria has a rich history that goes back centuries but the six year war has destroyed much of its national heritage including some sites that date back more than one thousand three hundred years now the u.n. has been asked to step in. there was a time when tourists would come from all around the world to visit these sites some of syria's most ancient ruins. this is the remains of her recklessness palace the man who ruled over the bodies in time empire more than thirteen hundred years ago despite surviving for centuries much of syria's engine heritage was destroyed by war in a few seconds these particular sites and if the province were bombed by government

airstrikes and what's left is now under threat and some of it like what you're going to ask the barbaric airstrikes of the assad government destroyed the archeological sites and it lived together with some acts of vandalism due to the current war we are facing a huge problem in preserving our ancient sites. opposition groups have recently formed what they call the committee for the protection of integrity is its calling for the united nations to intervene in order to save what are some of the world's most historic sites some of the buildings in the back to the second century b.c. the town is home to five churches they weren't spirit either large parts of them destroyed by bashar al assad's air force. academy in archaeology the the who tissue of our ancestors we hope that our children will inherit this ancient sites unfortunately though eighty percent of them have been destroyed or stolen by the government and its allies. with hundreds of. beirut a few moments we'll have the

office to the more than twenty years of rule of former president for the march during that time of mark was more than three thousand people were killed they live under. martial law largely press freedom was largely limited and their rights curtailed they're seeing basically those survivors say they're reliving that nightmare now for the first year in office of the president more than thirteen thousand feet. they have already been killed in the so-called war on drugs most of them killed by vigilante groups linked to police they say both of them are fascists they're butchers and are over the police their own private army they're calling on the president so-called war on drugs and instead look at institutional reforms specially when it comes to the judicial change in the house details he responded. well you know president has always been very defiant in fact over the last few weeks he has threatened. martial law all across the country right now martial i

go ahead spain's prime minister mariano rajoy is urging cats and separatists to stop the push for independence. do not stop once and for all this escalation of radicalism and disobedience there's still time to avoid bigger problems and no one benefits from this tension and this atmosphere of defiance in the face of justice and the law. call panel is in barcelona and looking at the scenes behind you it seems that nobody is listening to a hi there. absolutely john nobody calls that memo we've heard those political arguments we've heard the legal arguments from the central government says the referendum is illegal we've heard that the regional government says it is not backing down but the dynamic has now taken to the streets because this is what ordinary citizens are saying they are turning out on the streets to demand their right to vote in the wind october the first referendum and

they have to die they are outside the supreme court of justice and possible or not because yesterday when those least like fourteen members of the castle on the regional comment on stock were arrested and so they took them on that those people released now we know that two of them were released overnight the others are going through various legal maneuvers alleging that there are risks what illegal certainly no decision on that the ok let's take a look what happened yesterday that really set off the process today the. backlash in the streets after a wave of police raids. week pro independence activists massed now saw it catherine beetle government offices in boss alona moments off the spanish security forces stormed the. police detained public

a collision course neither side has given any he's ready to back down. something is touching or wrong. both here in catalonia and also in other parts of this the fact that it was the civil. rights of the west the civil god is actually a military unit that has been assigned now. function. it was very closely associated in people's minds at least with the military dictatorship of general grant dictatorship that ended in nineteen seventy five member of the civil law to going to war and then stepped in trying to overturn the fledgling democracy and stage a coup. for that reason many people here in catalonia see the use of the civil guard as a military tactic a throwback to the days of. and very heavy handed central government. sending for

two. thousand civil guard to catalonia to keep security over the coming days but. crowds that have gathered out here outside the supreme court of justice thousands are gathered here this is a fool than i. am remember they are in the middle. east. they are out on the streets claiming their right to protest is. the first referendum the central government. is illegal all right thank you very much for that. kenyan opposition leader is calling for the prosecution of those responsible for the alleged manipulation of last month's presidential election.

china has unveiled the world's fastest bullet train the food it will travel at up to three hundred fifty kilometers an hour and shave thirty minutes off the journey time from beijing to shanghai but they are concerns about the cost of china's high speed rail ambitions as adrian brown reports. china's high speed rail ways are a potent symbol of its economy today the network has more than twenty thousand kilometers of track the largest in the world and it's all happened in less than a decade the link between beijing and shanghai is one of the busiest experts say

the new service is about more than just the lure of speed or hunger for. the purpose of raising the speed is merely symbolic that trying to run at a speed of three hundred fifty kilometers an hour the fastest in the world this implies the stress of chinese twenty. foot high speed trains are expensive to operate one international think tank estimates that it cost ninety percent more to build lines for trains that reach three hundred fifty kilometers an hour than four ones that allow a speed of two hundred fifty but china's government is in a hurry to build more both in china and abroad than. nobody predicted that the high speed rail between beijing and shanghai would be profitable when it was built but after seven eight year development it gains so it can work in
