now. in a disaster the internet can be restored by a truck. in a minute 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 now. because when everything is securely connected anything is possible and there's never been a better time to change the way. i really felt liberated as a journalist about. getting to the truth as i would that's what is. the north koreans rally against the u.s.

as a small earthquake raises suspicion of a new need to test. it on the cloud this is on zero live from london also coming up in the program warnings even adults who fled the violence in me and risk death from dehydration because the lack of clean water. sound in mexico city is a powerful aftershock shakes buildings days after a devastating earthquake. gemini's main candidates wrap up their election campaigns ahead of sunday's. three point four earthquake has hit north korea close to the sites of its last nuclear test china initially suggested the try to may have come from a suspected explosion but now says it had the characteristics of a natural treble and bass. south korea or

a nuclear experts say the quake did not seem to be man made it seem as though his executive secretary of the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty organization and he says the earthquake could be a delayed aftershock from north korea's last euclid test the one to keep in mind here it's the six and last test by deep dark it was big enough to create logical stress in the surrounding and in the it will it did roger in a geological structure in the vicinity and then in the shock would be a consequence to that main one that i can accept numbers that take weeks so we could be that what is what is here now from kathy novak has latest from seoul in the past north korea nuclear tests have triggered artificial earthquakes but south korea's weather agency says it did not detect the sound waves usually associated with an artificial earthquake and instead assessed this to be

a natural earthquake and the nuclear watchdog the c t b.t.o. also assessed this to be natural it made the comparison to a second smaller quake that occurred after the first one caused by north korea's latest nuclear test earlier this month that smaller quake was attributed to a tunnel collapse likely caused by the nuclear test but of course this all comes at an extremely tense time here on the korean peninsula after kim jong un the leader of north korea issued a rare statement in response to the u.s. president donald trump's threats to totally destroy north korea kim jong un said that trump would pay dearly for those comments and north korea's foreign minister suggested that the country could potentially detonate a hydrogen bomb in the pacific. meanwhile in pyongyang hundreds of thousands of north koreans have taken part in irani praising kim jong un's denunciation of the u.s. president donald trump. issued a statement this week calling trump

a rogue and mentally deranged and off the president threaten to country destroy a north korea during his u.n. general assembly address but china has announced new moves to reduce energy supplies to north korea in line with the latest round of u.n. sanctions it started limiting its oil exports to pyongyang and is reducing shipments of certain types of petroleum and natural gas beijing would also ban textile imports one of north korea's main sources of foreign revenue on thursday the u.s. president donald trump announced that china had ordered its banks to stop dealing with pyongyang the chinese government has since denied that the white house is also targeting north korea's energy medical mining and transport industries and the u.s. treasury says it could sanction anyone who owns or controls a port of entry that agent brown has more now from beijing. what china has now essentially begun implementing what it agreed to at the united nations security council on saturday

a statement appeared on the website of china's commerce ministry it said that as of now china was no longer importing textiles from north korea textiles have been until now an important source of hard currency for the regime also as of saturday china is no longer exploiting things like liquefied natural gas as well as condensate or oil and significantly china is going to limit the amount of oil that it exports to north korea those exports will be capped at two hundred million barrels a year now last month of course china agreed to other wide ranging sanctions against north korea it's no longer importing things like coal iron ore and seafood on friday president donald trump once more praised china's leaders for the fact that he says china's banks have shut the door on north korea even though less than twenty four hours earlier china's foreign ministry said that wasn't necessarily the

case but this was what president trump had to say i made a friend in china president xi and yesterday he basically took the banking industry away from north korea the never been the so confusion and contradiction have once more become the hallmarks of sino u.s. relations clearly president donald trump and president xi jinping will have a lot to talk about if as expected president from pays an official visit to china in november. well world leaders that continue to make their addresses at the u.n. general assembly syria's foreign minister what it world i'm used to speech to highlight the country's deescalation zone saying that damascus reserves the right to respond to any violations. but i could have added serious stress is the visa as

a temporary arrangement and must not have violate the territorial unity of syria the syrian government reaffirms its commitment to the geneva process but i speak to your own correspondent rose jordan who joins us live from u.n. headquarters in new york and rose foreign minister saying that victory was within reach. that's right nick. told the u.n. general assembly that after more than six years of war against what he described as terrorists and what many others have called the political opposition and the armed opposition to the government of bashar al assad he said that this is a case where the regime is going to end up staying in power and it will vanquish the opposition of course he also went on to say that some members of the united nations security council have been trying their very best to subvert the assad regime and he said those efforts would not work he called on the u.n.

to basically we commit itself to the principles of the u.n. charter including a respecting the sovereignty of independent states but clearly with many countries here at the u.n. including the united states believing that the syrians have used chemical weapons against civilians as part of their effort to dippy to defeat the opposition pretty clear that the ongoing efforts to try to come to a political resolution are going to be that much more complicated essentially while even while i'm was doubling down on the government's position that it's done nothing wrong and i guess rather reach the point where we can begin to assess see the outcome of this is general assembly. well it's pretty much the status quo you saw donald trump the u.s. president coming here earlier in the week and essentially throwing out hints that the u.s. would be doing something to try to up in the iran nuclear deal but there's been

pretty much consistent pushback from other members of the united nations who took part in the negotiations to reach that deal all of them saying that as far as they know iran is in compliance with the terms of the deal and that trying to reopen the deal or trying to scudder the deal as it is right now simply would be a waste of time you also saw a lot of concern about the plight of the right ethnic minority in myanmar with the more than four hundred thousand people having fled across the border into boggle dash to escape military attacks as well as attacks from partisan groups there's a real concern that the international community isn't doing enough to pressure the government of me and maher in particular on its own seemed she she tried to stop this this situation and so you heard many of the high level speakers

addressing the fact that this is a looming crisis even beyond what we have seen happening in syria or in yemen for that matter are all signs very much in data rows jordan from the united nations turkey's parliament has extended the mandate for its military deployment to iraq into syria in a special session convened in response to the kurdish independence referendum in iraq. is also continuing its highly visible military drill near the iraqi border ahead of one day's controversial vote turkey's prime minister banal yielder has warned iraqi kurdish leaders of possible sanctions and military moves if the vote goes ahead go straight to under seven souse live for us in the turkish city of the baca. to tell us more about this what are the implications. well first of all that warning from the turkish prime minister was quite measured but very serious in its tone saying that there could be military intervention and this is what this special session was about it was about extending the mandate for

military action in iraq or in syria for the next year but more than that it coincides with that military exercise right on the border i've seen it it's not a coincidence by any means that this exercise had to take place in the run up to this referendum in iraq and it's going to be going on right the way through until after the referendum itself there was a series of heated exchanges in parliament we heard from the defense minister who warned that this was against the national security of turkey it would split up the unified aspect of society and it was very dangerous furthermore there was a response from the minority kurdish party which said that this was a mandate effectively for war so it was passed with the support of the opposition and it leaves the army clear now that within iraq

if the government deems that necessary add to this the fact that the prime minister pointed out that turkey's actions would coincide with the actions of iran another neighbor and also the iraqi government itself so it sounds as if there's a coalition effectively against the kurds here. given all of that what's the mood like where you are in the back you. well there are. more than a million estimated kurds in the city itself and another zero point seven million kurds in the the overall province there is a heated feeling here which isn't in the main in support of a referendum but nevertheless very much aware that if very much muted by the situation they're living in with more and more security actions taken to try to

put down the p.k. k. the. armed kurdish group which has used urban areas lately for attacks and therefore we're seeing such measures as the demolition of houses right the way through certain parts of the city which has caused a lot of concern amongst kurds who aren't in any way involved in the violence so right now there's really not excitement about independence votes you couldn't put it like that but guarded support for a vote but nevertheless a real worry about what lies ahead all right thanks that i'm three hundred seventy reporting still to come here in algeria we meet the sudanese people trying to rebuild their lives after the devastating floods destroyed thousands of homes. kiran thanks to three cameras that turned so i remember not to talk too much our correspondent becomes very game see how he's transformed into an avatar the

and i got a reminder the top stories here on al-jazeera and it might get you three point four earthquake has occurred in north korea close to the sites of its last nuclear test china initially declared the trauma may have come from explosion but now says it had the characteristics of a natural tremor. syria's foreign minister has used his speech to the u.n. general assembly to highlight the country's de escalations and say that damascus reserves the right to respond to any violations. turkey's parliament has extended

the mandate for its military deployment to iraq into syria in a special session convened in response to kurdish and because its independence referendum in iraq. a messy international says that range of villages is still being tortured me and contradicting the government statements that military operations have ended the group says new satellite images and video shows smoke rising from range of villages around four hundred thirty thousand refugees fled since the latest outbreak of violence began less than a month ago and doctors without borders says hold out zero that otherwise healthy range of adults in canada they're on the brink of death because of dehydration from the me and by a minute or to his gentle. on a rare day without rain makeshift tents clinging to the muddied slopes and thousands of ranger refugees go about the business of surviving. there is more food available now. and water pumped up from the ground in newly dug

wells bamboo sales a booming along with the black plastic sheeting that does little more than draw in the soaring heat was there but there is urgency still because of the spread of disease and brand new mobile clinic in this camp is in and dated. almost every woman carries a child this one with chest problems this one with diarrhea. what are the things that you are most worried about that you. didn't know and you're right up there. yes indeed. then. you know at the front of the queue a young mother khaled a beggar ms her name breaks down with relief medicines are dispensed to treat her daughter's fever and stomach complaint and almost as an afterthought she explains

the cheese eight months pregnant. agrees to let us see where she lives a mother of two with a third on the way her father killed in the escape from me and now barefoot in the filth of a refugee camp but not by you the mullahs that i'm too scared to go back to me in ma now only if there is the sure that the government will not punish us then we'll think about going back otherwise i'll stay and earn a living in bangladesh i ask if she's afraid to give birth in a place like this of course i'm afraid she says but there's nothing i can do every day more and more people arrive in these camps and every day the camps get more and more organized and every day they say across the border in miramar smoke billows into the air bangladesh doesn't want these people to stay on its side of the border and it's hard to believe me and will want them back the stateless route have become

the world's problem now jonah how al-jazeera bangladesh a strong u.s. quakers shaken southern mexico just days after a seven point one magnitude quake hit the capital hundreds of people were evacuated from parts of mexico city as a trailer set off warning and rescue efforts were temporarily suspended. well search and rescue operations in the capital are now into a fifth day with foreign crews continuing to arrive unofficial as more the man who took each hour is a fresh agony each minute feel so much longer families of the missing can do little but hope and pray they stay close to the office block in the condesa neighborhood of mexico city which collapsed in choose these quick there may be spaces where people survive and for. those there's a lot of misinformation we are very upset by what the authorities to do something and fast because a long time has passed and even if they are alive each day that goes by the chances

get slim out. psychologists are on hand to help the families are not good enough they don't even want to talk it's like at this point they just want to be left alone which is normally the more time passes the less hope they have. mexican rescue workers have toiled through the wreckage for days refusing to give up even when exhaustion makes that the easy option but no american and japanese teams have arrived with fresh muscles. and better technology what we do we bring in highly skilled and searchers and rescuers we bring in highly technical equipment and we bring in a lot of it and we were a good sort of a type one heavy team which means we can breach breaks concrete we have search dogs we have search cameras we have a variety of instruments that allow us to do highly technical skilled searching it's no more than seventy two hours which struck in not to the forty ninth scale

because stories of rescue become much greater we tend to become stories of recovery but the people here are looking at the building behind me and the what is going on there. that somehow this time it may be different. mexico may have ended its official three days of mourning for the victims of the quake but many families still have their own personal tragedies to remember. and more we find themselves facing that heartbreak in peace to come alan fischer mexico city. rain and flash floods been causing devastation in the east of sudan for the past month more than one hundred thousand people have been displaced of the river nile reached on usually high levels during the annual rainy season and as he moved reports from the town of sinew many residents are unhappy with the government's response this is what is left of the walls of abdullah home after water from the nearby river flooded it bricks and rubble lie on the ground

a reminder of what once stood here. and i think i get most in with. this was my father's house and i lived here for ten years this year the water levels were high and the barrier was supposed to stop it there was an opening and the government neglected it they haven't even provided compensation except for some flour and mosquito nets abdullah's house is one of hundreds of thousands destroyed by flash flood and rain this year in sudan the u.n. says more than sixty thousand houses have been destroyed countrywide and nearly a dozen people have been killed many of them live in rural areas where houses are built using mind making them more prone to collapse this barrier was supposed to protect homes from flooding but the levels of the river were extremely high in fact the highest in one hundred years resulting in an overflow that destroyed nearly one hundred homes here in st joe alone. so dan has been facing harsher rainy seasons over the past few years the state authorities say they had weren't both at the

citizens of potential floods and the national government. this neighborhood has been flooded several times in the past we've built a barrier to keep the floods out delegation came to check the barrier and now we have to see how to fix it again because studies were done back in two thousand and ten and we asked them to review it and rehabilitate the barrier then the river levels have receded over the past few days but as flood victims complain of not being compensated lawmakers say they weren't supposed to be living there to begin with the precautions which are to be taken is to have a course of the race and that to build the houses or the relatives of the farmers away from the river banks unfortunately they don't do that because they want to be as close as possible to the river banks so that they can take some water abdullah says he has nowhere else to go and that he will work to rebuild his home even if

one of the flood comes and destroys it again people are going out as they are so down it is the final day of campaigning in germany ahead of sunday's general election poll suggested chancellor angela merkel well easily win a fourth term but a third of the electorate says it's still undecided meanwhile her main challenger that's martin schultz says he'll keep fighting for votes john mccain. with voting now imminent the politicians make the final push for votes for angela merkel there was a chance to meet her party's younger activists and thank them for their work but also to spell out why she wants to remain chancellor for the next four years. we think of the future which is especially important in the eyes of young people and it's important that we also address the issue of social justice but it's equally important to talk about how we can work to achieve our prosperity. i think we have found a good balance and then it was on to her home state where the photo opportunity was

with a medical team teaching resuscitation techniques but if anything needs reviving its her rivals campaign the social democrat candidate martin schultz has crisscrossed the country these past weeks but from the start polls have suggested he and his party are less popular than merkel in hers his last election rally was in his home state where his message was about the need for greater social justice i mean. we don't want to focus on the bad side of this country when you make germany better we make it more just that's the difference between them and us the final opinion polls might make grim reading for his party the social democrats face the prospect of one of their worst ever results while the christian democrats have a commanding lead the closest race seems to be for third place which in germany's proportional electoral system can be a pivotal position of the building coalitions if the polls are right more than one

in ten german voters may opt for the far right alternative for germany although no other party will work with this party its lead candidate is taking nothing for granted just as new of your photo you can. only represent a different view on questions of principle and so there will finally be a lively exchange in parliament again that's a reason for the parliament to be the resoundingly board of society and that's why we want to get in there after six weeks of campaigning there's nothing more the politicians can do to shape this election now the decision rests with more than sixty million voters who they want to represent them in this parliament dominic came al-jazeera. now spain's central government and capital in the it is a tussling over who controls the regional police force which is considered key to the success of october's independence referendum because i'm government is already valid to push ahead with the vote he says it won't be handing over control of the

its last nuclear test china initially declared the quake may have come from a suspected explosion but now says it had the characteristics of a natural primer and both south korea and nuclear experts say the quake did not seem to be manmade well a seen as its executive secretary of the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty organization he says the quake could be a delayed aftershock from north korea's last nuclear test. the want to keep in mind here this six and last test by deep care was big enough to create geological stress in the surrounding and any it will indeed fragile any geological structure in the vicinity and then. the shock would be a consequence to that main one that happened in september sir and that would take weeks so we could be that what as well the leaders are continuing to make their addresses at the u.n.
