this is intolerable outrageous act thanks to donal's the leadership we now have at this summit meeting between japan u.s. and korea so we our unity and solidarity the strength of their of could be presented to north korea this meeting is indeed quite significant i'd like to thank a donal's leadership recently u.n. sanction was adopted unanimously including a very strict sanctions and i'd like to thank the efforts of the u.n. the u.n. ambassadors from the united states and the further efforts are needed and in this context the donald just referred to signing of the executive order new executive order so we are going into the new stage of the pressure from the viewpoint of exercising the stronger pressure new pressure the i welcome the new sanction

measures of the united states and i'd like to our firm my heartfelt support for that bearing in mind that those measures are between the three countries that we will have the collaboration so that we will move toward the abandoning of nuclear weapons and nuclear program by north korea and we'd like to lead into the next action thank you thank you very much everybody we are also going to be discussing trade projections and trade deals with. japan and with south korea and that will be very important but this is something that obviously will take precedence so thank you all very much for being here we appreciate it we'll see a live thank you come on. north korea let me out of all thank you. i mean you.

might. even think to a news conference there with president trump and the leaders of north korea and japan during this announcement to present time announce that he was bringing in a new executive order to help the u.s. that target the people companies and banks that financing and facilitating trade with north korea trump said that it was unacceptable that entity's financially support the north korean regime and he said that the effort would also target north korea's shipping and trade networks present i reminded the audience there the six nuclear test of the happened in the last few weeks and also in missiles fired over japan let's bring in our diplomatic and james base who's at the national had nations headquarters in new york and joins us live so james we were expecting some kind of sanctions to be announced does this go further than you expected. well it certainly goes further than they've ever gone before because this new

executive order which introduces new u.s. sanctions introduces sanctions all individuals and companies and banks as you say that trade with north korea now those are not north korean they are from other countries that trade with north korea and in particular i think it will affect china and chinese entities as well as russian entity is so it's going to a new step and there is a danger that this is not going to keep the unity. you that there had been in the u.n. security council remember they passed new sanctions on north korea just ten days ago and they managed to get those sanctions through but the u.s. had to compromise on what it wanted it wanted a complete embargo on all oil and petroleum products being sold to north korea china and russia just wouldn't go along with that so now they've approached it another way they've introduced sanctions on those that do trade including the trade

of oil on those entities so it will now be non north korean companies and individuals quite possibly chinese and other countries that are going to now face u.s. sanctions we are going to get further details in the coming hours if we're going to a news conference from the treasury secretary stephen notion explaining how this will work but it's certainly a development that i think will not necessarily be welcomed as it was welcomed by the japanese prime minister shinzo are there by the russians and the chinese we'll hear i think their reactions because there are two things going on in the coming hours there is the general assembly continuing with the speeches one by one taking place and we haven't yet heard the speech from russia about two two and a half hours from now we estimate and then china speaking in the general assembly those two foreign ministers will be speaking i suspect they are likely to respond to this we're also going to see at about the same time maybe a little later

a meeting of the u.n. security council that's been called by the u.s. to discuss nonproliferation so they're discussing the whole subject of nuclear weapons so i suspect the u.s. and other countries will bring up both north korea and iran so quite a number of different speeches here at the united nations likely to react to this in addition to the press conference we're expecting later on from the treasury section secretary secretary minutia and we're also expecting a news conference coming from the u.s. ambassador to the. i said nations nikki haley james one of the things that trump mentioned in his remarks just now was that he said that china's central bank had ordered their banks to stop doing business with north korea is that something that is a is a significant development or not the north korea. it is potentially a significant development but clearly china being the most important trading partner of north korea its neighbor is still doing trades there certainly are going

to be chinese entities individuals companies who are doing trade still doing trade with north korea that is a certainty and it looks like they now are going to be subject to u.s. sanctions so i must stress that these are new u.s. strike sanctions introduced by the president under an executive order they are separate from the united nations security council sanctions which have been imposed over an eleven year period but it does take us to a new place in fact moments ago before the announcement came i was chatting here with the former prime minister of australia kevin rudd who is someone who knows a lot about this subject he's now the president of the asia society and he said we're a dangerous place militarily with north korea but potentially if they introduce secondary sanctions and that's in effect what they seem to have done then we may be in a dangerous place economically for the global economy and essentially use that term in spite of the difference in tone between save present trumps remarks at the un

general assembly about north korea and then president for south korean leaders remarks a much more conciliatory tone in the end they they seem to be relatively happy to sit in the same room and come up with some new ways of dealing with this also one other thing i want to ask you about was it was asked at the end of that news conference briefly. if the if dialogue was still possible with north korea and he said why not is that something that he is a throwaway remark you think or do you think it's actually part of something that's you know more important diplomatically. well he's been saying all along that he is prepared to talk to north korea but i think you have to ask the question why would north korea want to talk right now after some of the threats that have been made against it by president trump and after this new measure which is going to hurt them even more financially the north korean foreign minister was caught by reporters here on wednesday it was his as he was heading at the end of the day to

his hotel and was asked about president trump's speech on cheese and the foreign minister real young ho said it was like the sound of a dog barking referring to president trump speech so it doesn't suggest to me that the north korean leadership are preparing at this stage to talk or in any way back down and remember to the north koreans will not only of watched what president trump said about them they'll also watch what's playing out with regard to iran where the u.s. sat down and very patiently with other world powers negotiated for two years with iran and came up with that iran deal that was eventually endorsed by the u.n. security council now president trump is saying he's going to or may want to pull out of that deal so what message does that send to north korea when even if they wanted to talk they might think that any negotiations any agreement that they had

would not necessarily be binding claims thank you very much indeed. the president of yemen has also addressed u.n. members of the general assembly calling for urgent humanitarian support for people suffering through the civil war president hadi called on the u.n. to put more pressure on the hoofy rebels to avoid more bloodshed and destruction. well. we are still in need of support and assistance because of our levels of poverty and insecurity and food insecurity we are still under blockade and war the situation is dire and all of the states under the control of the rebels. we want to preserve the life of every yemeni including those who fire bullets in our direction and talk of the yemeni people and i was a legitimate leader an elected leader i must save the yemenis from more bloodshed it is forbidden for one person to kill another and for one yemeni to kill another it's forbidden for

sanctions on sudan have had a major impact but now border ports will be open for trade. the newly signed trade cooperation agreement is needed by both sudan and south sudan both economies rely heavily on oil seventy five percent of sudan's own fields were seized and gained independence six years ago but the pipelines and processing equipment in sudan are vital for oil exports from the south especially because they were has stopped production and have its oil fields. analysts say the need of the two countries will guarantee the new agreement is allowed to work. up to the it's a complex situation with the two governments follow the agreement so dan is suffering because of the sanctions and south sudan is suffering because of the civil war was impact on its economy the two want to strengthen their economies to keep the governments in power power that may rely on how the neighbors move forward together people more going on to their khartoum the u.s. state of california suing donald trump's administration it filed

a lawsuit to block plans to build a wall on the u.s. mexican border the construction was a key pledge of trump's presidential campaign but the proposal is unpopular in california and other states which have a large immigrant population support with the existing border fence looming in the background california's attorney general javier basara said his state is suing the trumpet ministration to prevent it from building a more formidable barricade one which could cost more than twenty billion dollars we allege that they have violated that the ministry violated several provisions of the us constitution including the separate separation of powers doctrine and the tenth amendment. you california that's not going to fly last year donald trump one of many votes with anti immigrant rhetoric and a promise to build a wall one which mexico would be forced to pay for mexico's president enrique pena

nieto has made it clear his country won't pay anything toward a wall it doesn't want if the u.s. president's dream is to become a reality it needs to be funded by congress at least initially the trump white house remains confident that will happen the united states of america has a border the united states government has the control of that border and a responsibility to secure it we would expect to be fully successful in moving forward with our border wall as congress gives us the money to do so however california which is dominated by the opposition democratic party forms a potential legal bulwark against donald trump's plans and godly amount of money would have to be used to be spent on a wall it would be destructive to our environment destructive to our relationship with mexico california has sued to trump administration more than two dozen times
