you know mind this truck can drive itself and right now this child is being treated by a doctor from six thousand miles away this is science fiction and cisco networks are making it happen. because when everything is securely connected anything is possible and there's never been a better time to change the way. this is al-jazeera. and i'm joined on this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes more war of words arrest eight meant by kim jong un as his foreign minister threatens to test another hydrogen bomb this time in the pacific. a grim

report for anger children escaping violence in myanmar many are likely to end up as orphans. together in tragedy families of victims of mexico's earthquake comforting each other as hope fades for survivors. not the right time that's the warning to suss it out about holding elections next year which the u.n. fears could lead to more violence. for the first time in history a north korean leader has released a statement to the world in it kim jong un directly takes aim at u.s. president on trial calling him deranged a gangster playing with fire and a barking dog has also threatened to test a hydrogen bomb in the pacific ocean kathy novak begins our coverage from seoul.

inflammatory threats from north korea are not unusual but it is rare for the leader kim jong un to issue a statement himself. it was read out on state television along with a photo of the leader responding to donald trump's speech to the u.n. in which he threatened to totally destroy the democratic people's republic of korea or d p r k kim called the us president's behavior mentally deranged and said now that trump has denied the existence of and insulted me and my country in front of the eyes of the world and made the most ferocious declaration of war in history that he would destroy the d.p. r. k. we will consider with seriousness exercising of a car spawning highest level of hardline countermeasure in history as to what that countermeasure might be his foreign minister in new york had this suggestion you did i think it could be a hydrogen bomb test on the ground of an unprecedented scale in the pacific ocean.

there hasn't been an underwater or atmospheric nuclear test in decades they are banned under several treaties considered just too dangerous for people and the environment there was immediate condemnation from the two countries in the region likely to be most at risk from a north korean attack to pen and south korea. north korea's remarks and behavior provocative to regional and international security and they are absolutely unacceptable. north korea should immediately stop its direct least provoke asians that will lead itself to isolation and collapse but kim jong un says trump's remarks convinced him that he chose the correct path and must continue to follow it . south korea's president used his speech to the u.n. to repeat that his country does not desire the collapse of north korea and to insist that there will not be war again on the korean peninsula he says the

situation must be stable he managed so that tensions will not become overly intensified and so that accidental military clashes do not destroy peace kathy novak al jazeera. so what exactly is a hydrogen bomb tests were once commonplace but they were effectively banned more than fifty years ago the u.s. and britain tested hydrogen bombs in the pacific in the one nine hundred fifty s. france followed suit in the early sixty's but in one nine hundred sixty three nuclear treaty banned tests in the sea atmosphere and in space only underground tests are permitted h. bombs are a thousand times more powerful than atomic bombs the blast could destroy or contaminated marine life and it has the potential to cause serious health problems for anyone nearby that could be limited if north korea chose an isolated area north korea's announcement follows the us president donald trump announcing new sanctions

against pyongyang the e.u. and china are also stepping up measures it's go to age and run it joins us now from beijing and i'm wondering what sort of impact this is having there in china what do you. well jane there is a big question mark tonight here in china over whether those sanctions against banks involving the banks against north korea are actually really going to happen because a short time ago the foreign ministry here in beijing held their daily media briefing for foreign journalists and the foreign ministry spokesman was asked directly you know what response do you have to president donald trump's pronouncement that the central bank of china had instructed chinese banks to no longer deal with north korea and he said the situation you mention does not conform to the facts china has always strictly implemented u.n. security council resolutions and fulfilled our jew international obligations the

question there i guess is whether jew international obligations refers to the banking sanctions sanctions but certainly not for the first time there is confusion in china after comments made by president donald trump what worries the united states jane is this they fear that a lot of chinese financial institutions and trading houses have been conducting illicit trade with north korean companies linked to the country's nuclear and missile programs and it wants china to rein in those operations and i think you know behind closed doors the united states is being saying to china look a list you do more to rein in these outfits we're going to start targeting potentially blacklisting some of your big banks now full of the world's biggest banks are here in china and of course if that were to happen it would be a huge loss of press prestige for china as well as causing you know economic damage so another curious day in sino u.s.

relations a lot two years ever thanks for that agent brown. bangladesh's prime minister has seen a is urging the u.n. to help refugees return home to me and my. aid agencies warn by the end of the year more than half a million ringgit children could be refugees in bangladesh four hundred thirty thousand rehang of already fled myanmar in the past month because of the military crackdown in rakhine state. for part of the first million mom must unconditionally stop the violence and the practice of ethnic cleansing in the rakhine state immediately and forever secondly secretary general of the united nations should immediately send a fact finding mission to me and mar third all civilians irrespective of religion and ethnicity must be protected in me and mark for that saves loans could be

created inside me and under a un supervision for ensure sustainable return of all forcibly displaced in bangladesh to their homes in me and mark because her joins us from cox's bazar in bangladesh near the border with miramar so quite a few strong statements coming from her and she wants the refugees to go home but i wonder what the situation is not particularly when it comes to children and when it comes to aid. well you know the majority of the people that are coming in into the country and they're still coming in because there are villages still burning across the border and the wreck well the majority of the people are young women and children they tell us that the men have either been shot dead and put into mass graves or in or are in internment camps and they're coming here in refugee camps that just are overflowing with people now the bangladeshi government

with the military are the one leading this aid relief operation but there's just so many people to deal with there are dozens of aid agencies and i've seen trucks of donation coming from south africa from. from turkey from british bangladeshis in the u.k. but the situation there is really dire as one doctor puts it he's seen adults coming or coming in through the border on the cost of dying of dehydration there are people that are almost dying because they haven't had a drop of water to drink in the last couple of days there are people who are drinking water out of puddles puddles where it's mixed with feces and there could be water borne diseases that could stem out of it the situation here is catastrophic we're on the verge of a humanitarian crisis here and this is what aid agencies are saying now i've met

some of the people there many young women and children and i followed one young ten year old girl her name is. asking for money from strangers is no easy task when you have never done it before it's especially difficult when you are a child just a week ago was playing in the fields near her home in march right kind state unaware of the dangers to come. but then masked men set her house on fire killing her parents she traveled alone to bangladesh here a former neighbor took her under her care. i miss my mother had such hugs i miss her cooking i miss the way my parents made me feel she is not alone according to the agency save the children a thousand ringgit children have either been separated from their parents or orphaned and with the u.n. describes as textbook ethnic cleansing by mean more security forces. for

decades now myanmar's government refuses to allow ring of children in state run schools. or denied access to government run medical facilities they live in poor conditions segregated from others and their recent experience appears to have dropped the ring get closer they look after each other. my concern is that she doesn't end up being exploited by sex trafficking people trying to use her she's smart and she's now part of my family. there are brief moments of fun but for the most part running a children have to act like adults they work build homes and search for food. this is the hardest part of the day for. and all the others here she is going to have to compete with adults other children try to get a small bag of rice and length and that will be their meal for the day. in the

chaos she fails to get a ration she returns to her tent this is the start of a new life as a ten year old refugee in a foreign land. and nicholas i'm just wondering how banged today she's coping with the situation. well of course they're overwhelmed with number of people but with the gov the government of bangladesh is the international community and here we're talking about the united nations to help these rehang go back to their homeland this is what also the ringer want they want to go back in the right kind state now no one knows what's happening in iraq and stay because the me and my government will not allow journalist or. we've lost nicholas there to stay with the story as the ring of refugee crisis continues in bangladesh muslims and may have no connection to their hang our reporting no

attacks against them it's got high the reports of mandalay. in just a few hours last week. lost the equivalent of three years of profits that is shot the livelihood for his family of seven a mob roam through the muslim section of twang in central myanmar attacking shops and homes they stole his stock of mobile phones and smashed his signs and displays . i'm worried and scared because rumors spread very quickly through propaganda situation and the attacks could happen again they say muslim communities the same as the attackers in rakhine state we are totally different so mint is not and neither is anyone here but what they do share with their hands is religion there are muslims as are most. just across from his shop. and his family were in their house that night as the mob attacked he heard

a thumping noise they were hacking his shutters with an axe he was terrified. several people were arrested after the attacks witnesses said some of them had a list of muslim homes and businesses as they went on their rampage a few hours north here in the city of mandalay is the heartland from an ultra nationalist buddhist group linked to deadly anti muslim riots back in two thousand and fourteen three years on there still tension. those attacks in myanmar's a second largest city killed two houses shops and cars were burned hundreds of riot police were called out it's thought that the violence was sparked by an allegation posted online this mandalay mosque serves a community of nearly two thousand people its leader to admits he doesn't know much about the region jump if they're in the country illegally or not but he worries about misinformation spreading online and he had. information on social media people post truthful things and false things on facebook so it's difficult to know

what's the truth but if any muslim gets into trouble we fear for them and we're concerned. to ensure. was one of the leading monks from the pro-democracy saffron revolution in two thousand and seven a moderate buddhist voice in mandalay. i'm concerned about the situation in real time for what i read in the news there been an extremist there but i'm concerned that the government will act with extreme ways and that will lead to more religious conflict he went on to say there needs to be more communication between moderates and as long as the extremist voices control the conversation interfaith tension and violence could continue to spread outside of her kind and it's spring and scott hyde they he joins us now from mandalay than i wonder when you were talking to people there what was their view on the range of prices what they said about what was going on. jane that's something very very interesting to tackle because it kind of underlines part of the situation there were hints you have been

facing over the last decades and that is isolation because you know in that piece you saw these two members of the muslim community in myanmar that we spoke with that are not so it's very interesting to speak with them and they really don't know any ranger they don't really know too much about their culture but obviously with the greater muslim community they feel as though that they're connected to them in some way but they want to make sure this is very interesting that they're not associated with them because the association with. people of myanmar is associate them with with what happened over the last couple of weeks and what that's coming out of the government and what she said earlier that there were terrorist attacks so these muslims here who are not will hinge or want to distance themselves for that but at the same time we heard from that the leader of the mosque here in mandalay that he still feels a connection to them because they're part of the greater muslim community and he said and this is quite interesting he's an older gentleman in his seventy's and he said that he's never met or hinge or he's lived here as entire life but he listened

to radio programs for him to radio programs growing up so he knows a little bit about their culture and in speaking to people that was an anomaly not many people knew anything about their hands other than they are muslims as well thanks for that's got to be jumping in there but there's a bit of a technical issue scott with that update amanda have got some breaking news to bring to you has lost its license to operate in london and i'm going to read to you what the transport for london has said about this several issues which concern then these include its approach to reporting serious criminal offenses its approach to how medical certificates and how enhanced disclosure and barring service checks are obtained by the end of the thirtieth of september the kind license will be expires . going to go ahead on the news including a show of force turkey's military holds exercises near the border with iraq and a closer look at one of the world's most powerful woman days ahead of an election

that will almost certainly grant her a fourth term in office. so the show by ignacio called big night with the plates charged with south america's top club. u.s. president donald trump an afghan leader hopeful that more american troops in afghanistan could be a turning point after sixteen years of war but a report has cast doubt on the optimism particle hain explains thank you very much thank you it was all smiles as u.s. president donald trump met with president ashraf ghani modest. troops that have been sent. to enhance the assist support vice mission that is playing a very. victory political it. is with

our site. us both took pains to stress this is no longer a u.s. fight so i think it's important to understand that the afghan soldiers are doing the fighting we're training and we're working with them very closely but it's the afghans that are doing the fighting but this new report from the inspector general says that training program has huge problems right in the u.s. didn't understand just how hard it would be to train afghan forces overestimated their abilities and didn't have enough staff the mission it says is chronically understaffed by more than fifty percent and many of the staff it has were not trained mean a helicopter pilot was teaching afghans how to patrol and it says one u.s. officer turned to the. crime dramas from television to learn how to teach being a police man this is just the latest report highlighting problems with the training program the strategy the u.s. is relying on to eventually get out still the report's author says he is optimistic

we have new presidents in both countries we have a different leadership team on the ground. and i'm optimistic about them. h.r. mcmaster general mattis general nicholson it's a different team i think they recognize some of the problems and want to fix them and the training program can be fixed according to michael o'hanlon the taliban has gained perhaps ten percent of the nation's territory in the time since nato pete back in the early part of obama's second term or towards the end of his first term and the trend line is therefore in the wrong direction needs to be reversed but i would not say that the military and police have proven themselves incapable of battlefield success they've actually held on to most of the country president guy is predicting he will have control over more than eighty percent of his country in

four years time. reports are going to reach that goal the u.s. is going to have to change the way it's been trying to win the longest war in its history political again al-jazeera washington. has the program office of business integrity network in afghanistan he specializes in afghan governance and national security and joins us now from kabul it's good to see you again clearly there's been a long running problem what do you make of the report and its suggestions to back it. their import basically states first the fall it doesn't amuse us we have been we have been hearing for the past so many years about it about all of these ever get out it isn't and in fact a lot of afghans have actually witnessed it it's a multifaceted problem on one side you have this this goes back to two thousand and three two thousand and four when when the idea of building afghan national security

forces came into being the it was a rapid building where the did it could anybody basically who could be recruited they were part of the militias they were part of the. groups belonging to the warlords who destroyed kabul in one thousand nine hundred two and and then in two thousand and ten two thousand and eleven the idea of basically building up the capabilities of this and have started and you had you had helicopters pilot going in teaching afghan security forces. how to fight insurgency which is basically ridiculous. and you had you had people trainings over conference call which doesn't really make sense in afghanistan. and perhaps that's why you have you have a military that is fighting the war but nobody really raises this question of at what cost what cost is the afghan army fighting the taliban over the past two three years their elementary and it's

a justifiable house when do you say and then there are most of the lots of air will make a difference. the rules of engagement what what president trump is talking about might be able to contain taliban up to certain extent and it's not the afghan army into actions which will be able to sort of contain and confine taliban to those areas and not let them advance we heard that we had more than five hundred bombs dropped and august. this has really changed this ignore you a little bit but really it will be very difficult for the afghan security forces do to sort of fight for the cost that we are giving every day and afghanistan over the past two years at a cost indeed have a doc thank you take his army is continuing to hold military exercises

near its border with iraq tanks and armored personnel carriers have been deployed near the border gates the drills come just days before iraq's northern kurdish region is expected to hold a referendum on independence and simmons is in on turkey's border with iraq talk us through the troops there we've seen a growing number of them what's going on. well that's certainly the case jane you can see behind me dog in number of times personnel carriers also artillery howitzers tanks are all maneuvers across farmer's fields in this area just a couple of kilometers from the border with northern iraq just across the road from here and this is really a potent message being sent to the kurdish iraqi leadership who are coming under a colossal pressure now diplomatically this message being sent right now is one

that's coming directly from president doubt about that whatsoever and what we're going to see on friday is a meeting of the security council brought forward in which politicians and military chiefs will discuss measures they will intend to take or threaten to take against the kurdish leadership in iraq if this referendum takes place not only that there will be after this meeting a assembly of the cabinets in which president will be in the chair that cabinet will make decisions on what it's going to do and then furthermore there will be a parliamentary meeting on saturday parliamentarians called in in the summer break it's a make a decision on whether or not this force along with perhaps others could be deployed in iraq that would take parliamentary approval is likely to happen but it's going to be a contingency jane not a definite certainty that there will be

a movement across the border all right anderson thank you. rescuers in mexico are focusing their efforts on ten collapsed buildings as they try to find more survivors from tuesday's earthquake at least two hundred seventy three people were killed and more than two thousand injured how does your castro reports from mexico city. with each passing hour the hope to find survivors grows more desperate the work more grim the body count continues to rise since the seven point one magnitude quake struck central mexico tuesday afternoon vasquez had an appointment inside an office building in mexico city his wife says he arrived half an hour before the quake struck and the sixty three building collapsed she found his car parked nearby . where here outside waiting for him to come out he has to be ok no. the families of some forty people feared trapped or dead inside the building are

have already been rescued from these ruins alone dozens of other sites the city. representing mexicans and here to help the children. at a school where the mexican navy says nineteen children were found dead eleven others were pulled out a life and adults may still be trapped. the work is painstakingly slow the stakes in measurably hi heidi to castro al-jazeera mexico city in a few minutes we'll have the weather with richard but still ahead on al-jazeera an election in alabama exposes deep divisions within the republican party in the u.s. . and the family of an n.f.l. star who killed himself in prison demands action after his severe brain condition is revealed. by the sky. or off the coast of the italian riviera.

to help the rangar refugees return home to me and called on the international community to take action to stop ethnic cleansing in me in my eyes because state. guard let's stick with the story and go to. the spokeswoman of the emergency desk of m.s.f. she joins us live on skype from amsterdam very good to have you with us tell us about the situation that you are facing and the refugees are facing what is it that they need. that effort these are needing a lot i mean this is the regime in bangladesh in the press sorry it's probably the extreme and the it's the what the problem is is that it's not only the scale of it the number serve you're talking now about at least four hundred thousand refugees all the refugees ridge are already there and they arrived in a very short time frame which makes it really difficult so what you see is that they are needing shelter or they need food they need clean water i mean at this

moment people are sitting in makeshift gams and getting in the markets in their everywhere because they simply not enough space some people didn't eat for days and especially specifically clean drink water is a big problem people drinking water from yellow holes but they also there for gating everywhere as though this water holes is what there are mixed it a lot of sick people because of it because at the u.n. has just been saying that bangladeshis have access to safe water for eighty percent eighty seven percent of the population how come it's a problem getting that water there is it just that you don't have access to it or what is the issue here. well to be fair i mean i i'm actually quite impressed by the bangladesh government for welcoming all these refugees receiving halt a million refugees and leaving but i'm not any county would be able to delist is in the world i dare to say so but you get four hundred thousand people crossing

a border line and just getting down in the hills in the rice fields. nobody will be able to provide these people immediately vista proper luxor a health scare a study station where the bunkers and government might i don't not an expert on this might be able to provide about the for its own population this is a different seeing this is an emergency it's a public health the saucer as we look at it right now and if humanitarian aid because that's what's required at this moment go we didn't ations trucks your proper road what they're trucking increase in food distribution this desperate people so there's nothing to do with the bung addition government that's needed is an increase in humanitarian aid and right now and how much time do they have briefly if you if you will i don't understand your question i mean how much are you concerned about time and getting aid to those people who need it i mean what sort of timeframe are we looking at while they will are able to remain safe. we are

already very worried at this moment what we see in our clinic our people list the i'd rate he says adult people adult men dying of dehydration in our clinics this is an indication of and a high percentage of diarrhea and no access to clean drinking water so where we are already worried because we just simply don't know the work that these figures if you have to imagine it it's pretty much chaos in cork's this our district right now so these days we don't even know if we are already at the merchant vessels where it comes to work delancey at this very moment but what we there as a medical organization to say for sure if we do not manage to get this people food and clean drinking water in four to six weeks we'll see a very high mortality of people and children dying a very good to get your thoughts and experience cutting pleasure thank you you're welcome it's good morning breaking story has lost its license to operate in london

affecting more than forty thousand drivers let's go over to bob in london what do we know about this so far what more details. well jane at first glance this looks like a very dramatic moment for you because transport for london which actually hands out the licenses for private hire operators has said that they will not be getting its current license which is a four month license renewed past next saturday the thirtieth of september let me read you some of the points that it's made in justifying its decision it says that its concerns include approach to reporting serious criminal offenses now that comes after a member of the metropolitan police's private hire team here in london wrote to the company saying it wasn't doing enough to take action and to report allegations of

sexual assaults by some of its drivers secondly its approach to how medical certificates are up to taint and also the the use spite of software that c.f.l. transport for london says could be used to block regulate three bodies from getting full access to it's up and basically enforcing the law nothing there about one of the main bones of contention which is how it's drivers operate the company has come under criticism from some drivers for claiming that they were basically their own company and that they were free to choose their hours whereas some of them were were pushing for guaranteed hours and guaranteed income there's nothing no mention of that but we should point out that transport for london is saying that the company can appeal that it can carry on operating until all appeal process is have finished it's got twenty one days to appeal so presumably it will be doing so within the next week and if they fail it's not going to be good news for those

hundreds of thousands who rely on it that. that's right to have come out criticizing the decision its. chief in london has said that the company has in his words caved in to a small group of drivers let me read you a bit of a statement by uber in the last half an hour or so. by wanting to buy an hour out from the capital transport for london and the mayor that city can who has backed this decision. have caved in to a small number of people who want to restrict consumer choice if this decision stands it will put more than forty thousand licensed drivers out of work and deprive londoners of a convenient and affordable form of transport that's certainly the case for thousands of people who live in the british capital and the company also provides work for over three million drivers a company stressing that most of those drivers perfectly happy with their current

conditions there have been a series of protests though not just here in britain of course but around the world some countries have gone much further step and banned the company outright others are asking it to change the way it operates that may well be what happens in future rather than an outright ban thank you nadeem. thank you. opinion polls in germany suggest angela merkel and her party are heading for a clear win in sunday's general election her position within our own parties and challenge her standing among well politicians is equally high yet this time last year nicholls popularity dropped due to the refugee crisis has a turnaround in what is a party stand for on a cane reports. in six weeks of campaigning angle america has crisscrossed the country promising voters a germany in which people can live well and happily she's made great play of her

experience and achievements in the past twelve years both on the world stage and domestically to boost the economy oh there's another thing the main thing is that social security and health care have improved and this is only been possible because we continue to enjoy the highest number of jobs and the lowest levels of unemployment since reunification. introducing something like this in her home state and what america is in her element surrounded by friends party supporters and here they are lapping up what she has to say and if the opinion polls are correct so are many people across this country which is all the more surprising given that just over a year ago her prospects for reelection looked far less rosy the refugee crisis which saw more than a million people allowed into germany was still very much in the headlines survey suggested many people disapproved of merkel's welcoming for refugees senior members

of her own party began publicly to question the course she was taking then last september voters in two states deserted merkel's party in favor of the far right alternative the germany merkel's response was contrite she promised no repeat of the scenes of twenty fifteen and a toughening of the rules regarding migrants who commit offenses at the same time the closure of the balkan route for refugees into germany meant what happened in a steady flow became a trickle by the start of this year merkel's christian democrats were back in a healthy poll lead it's one they've maintained and improved ever since winning three state elections in the spring. is lucky in so far as the current be an old cries in the media towards whatever migration. into of a narrative of a crisis it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no reason to be afraid of

something but one person merkel appears not to be afraid of his her direct social democrat rival martin schulz when his party chose him as its candidate in january it was because they hoped a so-called shorts effect might propel them back into the chancellor but the opinion polls which one suggested he might have a chance now into. he has very little chance with merkel poised for four more years in charge dominic. president donald trump is expected to travel to alabama on friday to get support for a republican candidate running for the senate but the campaign is exposing deep divisions within the republican party as committee how could reports. he's a rising star in the republican party literally riding a wave of popularity that has the white house worried there's love motivation up there to change washington christian conservative and former judge roy moore

portrays himself as an anti-establishment crusader he's challenging the sitting republican representing alabama in the u.s. senate luther strange candidate favored by president donald trump i don't know what's going on in washington d.c. behind closed doors and i don't think anybody does so i can't say whopper literally it wouldn't be good what trump did was send out a tweet endorsing moore's opponent he's also campaigning on behalf of strange normally such a contest would garner little attention from a u.s. president but the alabama vote has become a referendum of sorts on the trunk presidency among some conservatives and underscores the deep divisions that exist within the republican party will strain just bad by the white house more is backed by ousted white house heavyweights like trump's former chief strategist steve bannon advisor sebastian gorka and even two

thousand and eight vice presidential nominee sarah palin thanks to the experience of joe as trunk continues to try and strike deals with democrats he's increasingly being viewed by some republicans as a centrist politician they can't except as head of conservative media outlet breitbart news bannan has focused his energies on unseating strange and striking a blow against political elites in congress and within the republican party who shunned his anti-establishment views sort of band in trying to assert his anti-establishment credentials in the form of this particular senate race in preparation for possible other senate challenges and fighting for a small mostly rural state a runoff election would not typically make headlines but the more strange contest. being watched closely its outcome could foreshadow similar challenges against republicans by republicans in the battle for the control of congress in midterm
