in this is the news live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes more war of words a rare statement by kim jong un as his foreign minister threatens to test another hydrogen bomb this time in the pacific. bangladesh's prime minister calls for safe zones inside me and mine for thousands of ranger muslims. brakes on the u.s. based ride hailing companies stripped of its operating license in london. together in tragedy families of victims of mexico's quake console each other as hope fades for most of violence. for the first time in history a north korean leader has released a statement to the world in its kim jong un directly takes aim at u.s. president donald trump calling him deranged a gangster playing with fire and

a boxing dog gone young has also threatened to test a hydrogen bomb in the pacific ocean as you know about 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. 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 penn and south korea. north korea's remarks and behavior provocative to regional and international security and absolutely unacceptable. north korea should immediately stop is directly. 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 affectively 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 allowed followed suit in the early sixty's but in one thousand nine hundred sixty three nuclear treaty banned tests in the sea atmosphere and in space only underground tests operated age bombs are a thousand times more powerful than atomic bombs the blast could destroy or contaminate marine life and it has the potential to cause serious health problems for anyone nearby but that could be limited if north korea chose an isolated area

north korea's belligerent response follows the u.s. president donald trump announcing new sanctions against pyongyang he also claimed china's banking system it shut down business with the country moments ago china their central bank as their other very. so massive banking system to immediately stop doing business with north korea but later on friday china came out saying that isn't exactly the case. sure i do and you count her shoulder too hard as far as i know what you have mentioned is not consistent with the facts in principle china has always implemented the un security council's resolutions in their entirety and we feel the responsibility china is always opposed to unilateral sanctions outside the framework of the security council this position is clear and consistent adrian brown has more from beijing

so once more confusion the foreign ministry official was also asked about the continuing war of words between kim jong un and president donald trump he said that china doesn't comment on such rhetoric and he urged all sides not to in his words stimulate the situation on the north korean peninsula but there's no doubt that the united states believes that china can do more to rein in financial institutions and trading companies that it believes our facility eating transactions with organizations entities in north korea that have links to the country's nuclear and missile program and he wants china to do more china of course is also conscious that the united states may well target or even blacklist a major chinese bank unless china does what washington wants but at the moment china knows that it can't resolve the crisis on the korean peninsula alone but it also knows it's running out of options iran has unveiled

a new ballistic missile as president hassan rouhani vowed to boost his nation's firepower as revolutionary guard announced it has a range of two thousand kilometers and is capable of carrying several warheads the announcement comes just days after president tran branded iran a rogue state along with north korea. bangladesh's prime minister sheikh hasina is urging the un to help refugees return home to me and my aid agencies warn by the end of the year more than half a million children could be refugees in bangladesh four hundred thirty thousand rangar have already fled me and in the past month because of the military crackdown in rakhine state. 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 my third all civilians irrespective of religion and ethnicity must be protected in me and ma for that save since could be created inside me and under a un supervision full ensure sustainable return of all forcibly displaced in bangladesh to their homes in me and ma because he joins us from cox's bazaar in bangladesh that's near the border with me and tell us about the situation there particularly when it comes to children on the sort of aid that they getting or not . well doing as night falls here over the long count there's at least a thousand children who have either lost their parents or their parents have been killed who are going to sleep alone many of them would have not had a meal today because there's just not enough relief to go around you know there's

eight hundred thousand that are at the border as we speak right now desperately needing some help one doctor. saw an adult that was on the cusp of dying of dehydration he says he hasn't seen situations like this before this is how dire the situation is over there and when you walk through the. camp there's water dirty water mixing with clean water and people are using puddles to to hydrate themselves to get to get something to drink there's a few aid agencies operating there a dozen of them the bulk of the relief effort is led by bangladesh and the bangladesh military that has been deployed to provide relief for all of these were handguns that are coming across the border and there are more and more people coming across the border i met with a young girl ten year old. in the goods

a problem camp this is her story. 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 such a big game was playing in the fields near her home in myanmar is reckoned state unaware of the dangers to come but then masked men set her house on fire killing her parents she travelled alone to bangladesh here a former neighbor to occur 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 what the un describes as textbook ethnic cleansing by mean more security forces. for decades now mean mars government refuses to allow ring of

children in state run schools. are denied access to government run medical facilities they live in poor conditions segregated from others and their recent experience appears to have brought the ringer 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 the children have to act like adults they work build homes and search for food. this is the hardest part of the day. and all the others here is going to have to compete with adults other children to try to get a small bag of rice and lend and that will be their meal for the day. in the chaos she fails to get

a ration she returns to her tent empty handed and alone this is the start of a new life as a ten year old refugee in a foreign land and where is leaving bangladesh nicholas. wrangles continue to a sergeant i could hear about i'm just wondering where this lays bangladesh and how they're dealing with this situation obviously it gets increasingly difficult. that's right it's very difficult for the bangladeshi government in fact they're overwhelmed with the sheer amount of people now just just going back to the children that are in these camps action against hunger just came out with a statement saying that they've seen sixteen instances of children disappearing there's a real fear and danger that these children could be at prey from traffickers that

want to take these children away from these counties there is no real organization in this town. needs the help of the international community in order to manage the situation of the ground in fact prime minister sheikh hasina has called for the united nations to come in and help what she wants is that these go back to their homeland and that the united nation insurer's their safety so that there isn't what she calls any more ethnic cleansing as we speak there are still villages burning in the wreck and state and as you know jane no journalists no independent observers has been allowed inside the wreck and state. right now and we've lost you there nicholas plays your head on the news. where in south sudan where the u.n. fears violence could jeopardize elections next year. and a closer look at one of the world's most powerful woman days ahead of an election

mobile phone app and that it employs forty thousand drivers in the capital now transport for london have said that they're not going to renew private hire license beyond the current period which ends on the thirtieth of september but they have said that the company has twenty one days to appeal the decision and then that until all appeals are exhausted can continue operating so perhaps not as dramatic as it might seem of course lots of londoners rely on the service for a quick and fairly cheap alternative to services such as the traditional black london taxi cabs but it it's a justification transport for london does highlight the company's approach to reporting serious criminal offenses it also talks about the use by software

that could be used to brock regulator bodies from gaining full access to the app the unions here are extremely pleased with this decision because they say the company fails to guarantee the minimum wage for its drivers the company say its drivers are self employed choose to work when they want and they enjoy that freedom it's a debate that's happened around the world in a scene in a book banned in some countries. president emanuel has signed a decree overhauling france's labor laws the measures which have triggered mass protests make it easier for companies to hire and fire stuff across government has promised to cut unemployment from its current nine point five percent to seven percent in five years he had campaigned on a reformist platform during may's presidential election opinion polls in germany suggest angela merkel and her party are heading for a win in sunday's general election her position within her own party is unchallenged his standing among world politicians is equally high yet this time

last year merkel's popularity dropped due to the refugee crisis turn around and what does a party stand for john mccain reports thanks 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 player her experience and achievements in the past twelve years both on the world stage and domestically to boost the economy. 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 a home state and that america is her surrounded by friends and party supporters and here they are lapping up what she has to say and if the opinion polls are correct

so many people across this country which is all the more surprising given the 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 had been 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

former vice president riek machar but there are problems here too including shortages of food and medicine many rely on fishing but the conflict has made it hard for them to access parts of the river. if there are areas where the government soldiers and i get close to them i stay hidden and grow away so they don't see me if they see me then it's a problem for me a problem made worse by the large number of people who have fled to this region at least ninety five thousand people have lost their homes since april because of fighting between government and opposition forces some of those displaced have crossed the border into if you're adding to the refugee crisis described as the fastest growing in the world a quarter of the country's twelve million population is now displaced and the u.n. says seven point six million are in need of aid but delivering that aid has challenges we do have and so what we're going to localize from him so actually the from is not widespread but actually has been it has affected actually particular

areas of the country of course one of the american arses is one of the main issues with everything's also done not only not about overhauling the country as fighting in displacement continues and despite warnings from the international community and the u.n. south sudan's government has announced it plans to hold a presidential election next year as part of the twenty fifteen peace deal it's fine with the opposition we are implementing that as it came well waiting for me i got and they are you and the u.n. security council to tell us what we would do for them yes. what i would say we are going for elections but for many stars who need to have been displaced like. a presidential election is the last thing on their minds he will morgan al-jazeera a coble south sudan rescuers in mexico are continuing with frantic efforts to find survivors from trees day's earthquake the magnitude seven point one quake has

abuse allegations during a speech on monday un secretary general antonio good better said it's long past time to fix the problem no country no easy solution and no family is immune from sexual exploitation and abuse but three years united nations have a unique responsibility to set the global standards for preventing responding and the ready creating discards and addressing it seemed perfect effectively humanely and justly. the chief spokesperson for the un peacekeeping operations tells al-jazeera the problem can't be solved by the organization alone but reforms are being implemented we have redoubled our efforts with the membership to try to ensure proper follow up and the membership is responding the the percentage of responses that we get to our queries as to what has actually occurred in individual cases has gone up dramatically in the last couple of years and this may be

a product of some of the definitive action we take in withholding payments and repatriating individual units and showing with action that we in peacekeeping take this matter seriously but the bottom line is that member states are taking it seriously human rights groups say the you when is spouting platitudes peacekeepers are getting away with their crimes and they say the victims mostly teenage girls and their children are suffering as a result is more like they're treating the symptoms rather than actually treating the underlying cause of the problem and that causes the problems that the u.n. is inserting itself into a system that should be handled entirely independently by an impartial transparent process and something that should be based in law and should meet criminal accountability the secretary general has appointed an advocate to help victims and their families achieve justice but the un's big problem is this it can't force countries to do what they're supposed to do which is discipline their troops and

pay compensation to things which most would agree to following real accountability welzel and orton al-jazeera at the united nations let's get the whether it's richard on the very latest on hurricane maria what's happening there but it's looking pretty grim for the turks and caicos and and the the across the southeastern part bahamas jane is still a category three storm which means devastating winds i don't talk about we've got a whole host of other features as well when this storm system went across puerto rico this is damage that it did we had. when this which were at the top end of calgary three almost category four we had fast amounts of rain uses or damage it has wires and i guess the turrets and cake cos well they were to say because i was to take us already but because of irma so obviously when maria arrives i don't know how it's going to impact on the people are still left on it really is going to be quite scary we have got sustained winds of children five k.p.h. so top end of cuts three important thing is producing

a huge swell there's going to be something like a three meters storm surge effect in the turks and caicos and also parts of the southeastern bahamas and this system curves away so it really is a pretty grim situation i have to say beryl just run the sequence through the minutes of rain is it's almost incomprehensible some places have seen more than a meter of rain some places are still is in the other three or four hundred millimeters of rain and eventually pushes away towards the north but all across the caribbean certainly on the eastern side the caribbean is worth point rip currents and surf really dangerous swimmers surfers across the whole of this region need to be very careful because it's going to be highly dangerous. but let's go over to france now where tourism is about to make an address on her breaks it strategy long awaited plan let's listen in do you think new possibilities we can forge a better brighter future for all our peoples and that is what i want to focus on

today for we are moving through a new and critical period in the history of the united kingdom's relationship with the european union the british people have decided to leave the e.u. and to be a global free trading nation able to chart our own way in the world for many this is an exciting time full of promise for others it is a worrying one. i look ahead with optimism believing that if we use this moment to change not just our relationship with europe but also the way we do things at home this will be a defining moment in the history of our nation and it is an exciting time for many in europe too the european union is beginning a new chapter in the story of its development just last week president younkers set

out his ambitions for the future of the european union there is a vibrant debate going on about the shape of the e.u.'s institutions and the direction of the union in the years ahead we don't want to stand in the way of that indeed we want to be your strongest friend and partner as the e.u. and the u.k. thrive side by side and that partnership is important for as we look ahead we see shared challenges and opportunities in common here in italy today our two countries are working together to tackle some of the greatest challenges of our time challenges where all too often geography has put italy on the front line as i speak britain's royal navy national crime agency and border force are working alongside their italian partners to save lives in the

mediterranean and crack down on the evil traffickers who are exploiting desperate men women and children who seek a better life our two countries are also working together in the fight against terrorism from our positions at the forefront of the international coalition against. to our work to disrupt the networks terrorist groups use to finance their operations and recruit to their ranks. and earlier this week i was delighted that prime minister gentle loney was able to join president and myself in convening the first ever un summit of government and industry to move further and faster in preventing terrorist use of the internet last migration and terrorism are the two examples of the challenges to our shared european interests and values that we can only solve in partnership the weakening glose growth of global

trade the loss of popular support for the forces of liberalism and free trade that is driving moves towards protectionism the threat of climate change depleting and degrading the planet we leave for future generations and most recently the outrageous proliferation of nuclear weapons by north korea with the threat to use them here on our own continent we see territorial aggression to the east and from the south threats from instability and civil war terrorism crime and other challenges which respect no borders the only way for us to respond to this vast array of challenges is for like minded nations and peoples to come together and defend the international order that we have worked so hard to create and the values of liberty democracy human rights and the rule of law by which we

stand britain has always and will always stand with its friends and allies in defense of these values our decision to leave the european union is in no way a repudiation of this long standing commitment we may be leaving the european union but we are not leaving europe. our resolve to draw on the full weight of our military intelligence diplomatic and development resources to lead international action with our partners on the issues that affect the security and prosperity of our peoples is unchanged our commitment to the defense and indeed the advance of our shared values is undimmed our determination to defend the stability security and prosperity of our european neighbors and friends remains steadfast

and we will do all this as a sovereign nation in which the british people are in control their decision to leave the institution of the european union was an expression of that desire a statement about how they want their democracy to work they want more direct control of decisions that affect their daily lives and that means those decisions being made in britain by people directly accountable to them the strength of feeling that the british people have about this need for control and the direct accountability of their politicians is one reason why throughout its membership the united kingdom has never totally felt at home being in the european union and perhaps because of our history and geography the european union never felt to us like an integral part of our national story in the way it does to so many elsewhere

in europe it is a matter of choices the profound puling of software injury that is a crucial feature of the european union permits unprecedentedly deep cooperation which brings benefits but it also means that when countries are in the minority they must sometimes accept decisions they do not want even affecting domestic matters with no market implications beyond their borders. and when such decisions are taken they can be very hard to change so the british electorate made a choice they chose the power of domestic democratic control over pooling that control strengthening the role of the u.k. parliament and the devolved scottish parliament welsh and northern ireland assembly is in deciding our law. that is our choice it does not mean that we are no longer a proud member of the family of european nations and it does not mean we are turning our back on europe or worse that we do not wish europe to succeed the

success of the e.u. is profoundly in our national interest and that of the wider world but having made this choice the question now is whether we the leaders of britain and of the member states and institutions can demonstrate that creativity that innovation that ambition that we need to shape a new partnership to the benefit of all our people i believe we must and i believe we can for while the u.k.'s departure from the e.u. is inevitably a difficult process it is in all of our interests for our negotiations to succeed if we were to fail or be divided the only beneficiaries would be those who reject our values and oppose our interests so i believe that we share a profound sense of responsibility to make this change work smoothly and sensibly

not just for people today but for the next generation who will inherit the world we leave them the eyes of the world are on us but if we can be imaginative and creative about the way we establish this new relationship if we can proceed on the basis of trust in each other i believe we can be optimistic about the future we can build for the united kingdom and for the european union. in my speech at lancaster house earlier this year i set out the u.k.'s negotiating objectives those still stand today since that speech and the triggering of article fifty in march the u.k. has published fourteen papers to address the current issues in the talks and set out the building blocks of the relationship we would like to see with the e.u. both as we leave and into the future we've now conducted three rounds of

negotiations and while at times those negotiations have been tough it's clear that thanks to the professionalism and diligence of david davis and michel barnier we have made concrete progress on many important issues for example we have recognised from the outset there are unique issues to consider when it comes to northern ireland the u.k. government the arash government and the e.u. as a whole have been clear that through the process of our withdrawal we will protect progress made in northern ireland there was a very spirited to resume a talking in florence she said that they could be leaving the e.u. but not leaving europe and the u.k. has never felt totally at home in the e.u. she was praising the vote is a made the decision to leave she said it's a sign of democracy and she says it's in everybody's interests for these negotiations to succeed monitoring that speech in london is going to be philips but first it's going to need barca in florence need she spent quite

a bit of time talking about all coming together but it was anything but that wasn't . so so you're right it's very interesting the tone of the kind of phrases a rhetoric that treason may as been using it almost at times felt as if she was actually championing membership of the e.u. using sentences and then catch phrases pretty much used by some leading e.u. officials or including the e.u. president and donald tusk of the e.u. council two she said things like the need for unity is what's parent paramount to this time particularly after the u.k. does leave the european union she also referred to the fact that there are common challenges things like terrorism and she reflected upon the refugee crisis where italy has played a very prominent role she wants to focus not on the differences between nations but on a shared vision but i think at this stage sharing that vision across the e.u. member states is a bit of

a struggle there are still outstanding questions before negotiations can move forward to do with the status of ireland she was touching upon it there the border would know that on the part of the u.k. what's going to happen to three million e.u. nationals living in britain and we're also is going to happen when it comes to britain's break free we are expecting her to put a deal on the table that could come a little later on in her speech all right let's hop over to bonnie philips he joins us live from london right we haven't heard anything about her plan yet but i'm just wondering how what she says today is going to play out there. oh it's going to be what's very closely jane and you're right we haven't come on to the substance of the speech remember this reason may is not only speaking to twenty seven other e.u. hads of state she's speaking to her country and her country is divided political parties hard are divided her own governing conservative party is divided even her own cabinet is badly divided and howard earth can she say something substantive

that moves the jambs process forward that does not alienate anyone that is an extremely difficult task. thank you for that barnaby phillips. skidmore one of our top stories the escalating rangar crisis colleen plano is a spokeswoman of the emergency desk at doctors without borders she says adult the refugees are dying in the camps because they don't have access to clean water we are already very worried at this moment what we see in our clinics our people is the idea in adult people adult men dying of dehydration in our clinics this is an indication or an high percentage of diarrhea and no access to clean drinking water though where we are already worried because we just simply don't know to work down at the figures it's you have to imagine it's pretty much chaos in cork's mr district right now though we say we don't even know if we are already at the mercy

eventually where it comes to work the nitty at this very moment but what we need there as a medical organization to say for sure is if we do not manage to get people food and clean drinking water in four to six weeks you will see a very high mortality of people and children dying. let's go live now to the un with the president of central african republic faster not chang i tried there is addressing the general assembly he was elected last year and cause first democratic poll since conflict broke out there in two thousand and thirteen the fighting continues let's listen in. deep admiration for the enormous amount of work it's carried out and the remarkable outcome he's managed to achieve during his mandate it is also time for us to welcome the work already accomplished by mr antonio guterres secretary general of the united nations what he has been able to do since he arrived at the helm of the organization mr president this seventy second session

of the general assembly of the united nations takes place at the time where a planet is confronted with many challenges and among them. issue of international terrorism which is it particularly acute. everywhere. in security what appears to be it is a middle east in africa. europe everywhere and national security is threatened by terrorist groups of all kinds. and that his wife. call upon the international community to double have hurts and to our efforts and. in order to put an end to the scourge. on the show migration. in north over the african continent is shaken by the many victims who were abandoned in the desert or disappear at sea this phenomena in the mediterranean with tragic

consequences in its wake is a major challenge which is calling out to us all for the more they question refugees has recently been worsening to the point where they become one of the priority concerns for the international community choir's very special attention on our part. on the show climate change and sustainable development. plan it continues suffering the consequences of not. phenomenon such as. earthquakes earthquakes floods droughts. rapid to certification and global warming which is a real concern here i would like to remind us. that the state signatories of the paris agreement on the climate change i call upon all of you to

honor the commitments undertaken during the twenty one as regards the efforts we all need to make in order to preserve our environment on the reform of the united nations here the central african republic as a member of the african union supports the common position of member states of that organization which was adopted in. the g eleven on the need to widen the security council in africa. other challenges are also also exist and this includes human rights the rule of law and good governance of these old and necessary preconditions for social well being and i can assure you that the central african republic my country will continue bringing in its modest contribution to our joint work to promote peace security and lasting development which we all hope. mr president. i welcome the theme chosen for the current
