a north korean rocket launch towards the u.s. mainland inevitable diplomatic added to jane's base reports from the united nations democratic people's republic of korea this was the podium where four days earlier president trump threatened to totally destroy north korea now it was time for the country's top diplomat to give his blistering reply. due to his lack of basic common knowledge and proper sentiment he tried to insult the supreme dignity of my country by referring to it as a rocket by doing so however he committed an irreversible mistake of making our rockets visit to the entire us mainland inevitable all the more none other than trump himself is on a suicide mission this clearly rankled the north koreans rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself the foreign minister came a quipped with nicknames of his own us tomorrow on line the person

who is chastised even by americans as commander in grief lion king president evil is holding the seat of the us presidency and the dangerous reality that the gambler who grew old using threats frauds and all other schemes to acquire a patch of land holds the nuclear button these are what constitute the grave threat to international peace and security today north korea has proved once again it won't back down in five days of diplomacy in new york this crisis has got worse not better diplomats feel the situation is dangerous the insults being hurled may sound like schoolyard language but the u.s. has carried out a show of force with jets and bombers flying close to north korea's eastern coast and there's talk of north korea carrying out an atmospheric nuclear test that's a dangerous proposition which will be conducted in the pacific ocean unlike the
8:04 am
previous six nuclear tests which were contained underground the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists who had a rare meeting with a north korean foreign minister after his speech has warned there's now a real risk of miscalculation leading to conflict james phase out his era of the united nations kathy novak is following the story from the south korean capital seoul. insults against the north korean leader kim jong un are taken very seriously by the government there if people within north korea were to dare to insult kim jong un that would be an offense punishable by death so what we have seen in response to the u.s. president donald trump's remarks at the united nations is a strong reply from kim jong un himself and now from the north korean foreign minister look hurling insults back in the direction of donald trump and not only insults but threats as well saying the u.s. a strike against the u.s. is now inevitable now the north korean foreign minister also said as part of his
8:05 am
speech that north korea is nearing the final stage of completing its nuclear force he had suggested that one of the options north korea might take would be to detonate a hydrogen bomb in the pacific so now that we have had the ramping up of rhetoric the concern is what happens next the united states has launched a show of force flying bombers off the east coast of north korea we are expecting the unveiling of strategic weapons here in south korea as this country marks its armed forces day and the south korean government has been warning for weeks that it does expect another missile launch or perhaps another nuclear test from north korea particularly around important dates there there's one of those coming up next month when north korea marks the anniversary of the founding of its work as workers party on october the tenth.
8:06 am
or the head of the un's refugee agency has been meeting room in bangladeshi camps they told filippo grand about the alleged murder rape and violence happening in a high end state our correspondent jonah how has been hearing similar accounts from people in technology in southeastern bangladesh. these new arrivals. well over four hundred muslim or hindu have fled ethnic cleansing in me and in just the past month and that number is rising daily. i don't have any expectations of bangladesh i just came here to save my life and i've seen a beggar makes planes through her tears that her husband and brother were killed when the military laid waste to her village. this is one of several entry points into bangladesh a busy water taxi route from sharp poori island to the mainland many rangers have
8:07 am
crossed the nafs river from me and to shop and into bangladesh this way. gathered on the water's edge the members of a large family who fled their homes two days ago during what the me and my military calls clearance operations. we were totally blockaded in our village they wouldn't allow us out and we began to run out of food and you know. suman a beggar makes planes what happened next. the army surrounded our village and set it alight our husbands and sons were slaughtered we ran away to save our lives we can take anything with us except what we were wearing. and then she adds some brutal detail. if they found a woman they'd rape her and then throw her away so she couldn't be found they did this in village after village at this point two things become clear the first is
8:08 am
that the exodus of britons while down from its peak is still going on the second is that the number of people who've lost their lives inside me and may be extremely high so many of the people arriving now are young mothers with children there aren't nearly enough husbands brothers or fathers and despite statements to the contrary by the government of and sang suchi the violence across the water goes on jonah how al-jazeera bangladesh and. along in bangladesh for us that's near the border with me and so what's the feeling there in the bangladeshis nicholas about the number of refugees arriving across the border. well the house i mean to the road right behind me is the one that leads to me in march and just a few weeks ago it was a quiet country road people would actually walk on the road there was any cars going now if you look behind me there's
8:09 am
a stream of people continuous stream of refugees going from the camp to relief centers trying to get some help trying to get some relief and unfortunately there's just not enough to go around and there's many of them just go back to camp empty handed such is the dire situation here there is a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding on this side of the border and the suffering of the range of people isn't ending here they might have survived the clearing operation of the men marmie but here they're running out of food they're running out of basic necessities and they need desperate help side by side bangladeshis live here and they too have seen this sudden influx of people with with as with slight concern you know four hundred thousand people made their way across the border in a matter of weeks there's as many people here as they are in the city of liverpool they have just arrived and so the main challenge for aid agencies and the
8:10 am
government of bangladesh is that that not only do they distribute food and rations to the refugees but also the local bangladeshis that live on less than two dollars a day that also have limited access to medical facilities and they're also suffering from malnutrition and also getting a bit of help so that every so that there's enough to go around for everybody that's one of the main concerns here but there is undoubtedly. really a big huge concern from humanitarian organization i'll just put it in one sentence that when m.s.f. doctor has put it to me there are people here adults coming into this country on the cost of dying of dehydration dehydration people who are dying because they haven't had enough water to drink possum and what about the raw. so what have they been saying. for the refugees their first priority is trying to to get some help to try to get some food some water some some help from and trying
8:11 am
to build their homes in makeshift camps we've seen communities made out of neighborhoods made out of plastic sheeting but when i speak to those men that have survived made it across i sensed a lot of anger and anger directed towards their leader and sons to t. because before all of this happened before when and since hoochie was held in detention for fifteen years the rahane john have always supported her and when in two thousand and fifteen she ran for election and she won in a landslide election there was hope among their hinges that their persecution would end and although they weren't allowed to vote they really stood by her but since she has come to power there's been an increase of of violence towards the range of people the returns to democracy and men more has meant that there has been more hate crimes towards muslim minorities especially the or her community there's been an increase of military intervention in the russian side towards the river and so
8:12 am
people here are incredibly angry. and they want they want to go back to their country but they want her to answer to the crimes that are being committed across their border in their homeland. nicholas hawke life force there in a coup to prolong. ask allah is in me and miles largest city yangon he says many people there feel the international criticism of the range of crisis is unjustified. nearly a month into this range of crisis here in the m.r. for the most part the people are sticking by the government there have been pro-government rallies there have been nationalist rallies over the last couple of weeks later on sunday there's going to be a pro unsung suchi rally here and young gun this really focuses on the idea that the people of myanmar for the most part view the criticism from the international community as as a little bit do they feel as though this is an internal issue you know
8:13 am
a lot of the the narrative that the government has been putting out and not just during this recent crisis for decades back that the rangers were illegal migrants from bangladesh that is something that for the most part the myanmar people seem to be believing they do have access to international media but the focus for them in my media has really been on those government themes in the government themes that we heard on song suchi deliver in her first major speech about there were hints issued last tuesday so right now kind of a sense of nationalism that's growing here in the country but then also there they say that they're going to be starting this process of reintegration for those refugees that recently crossed over into bangladesh this is something that unsung suit she has met with a group a committee over the last couple of days to start the logistical planning for that but right now we haven't seen anything on the ground to show that they're going to start to bring back some of those refugees who can prove that they left myanmar over the last several weeks it's going to head on to the spanish government takes control of catalonia as police in the latest attempt to stop an independence

8:18 am
gave hope that another survivor had been pulled out of this collapsed office building in mexico city but that was not so the patient was a rescuer who suffered a leg injury then surely before eight a.m. local time a six point two magnitude aftershock sent everyone running from the teetering rubble the new quake centered about seven hundred kilometers away halted the rescue operations for about half an hour each minute his accounts and volunteers marking their arms with names and blood types as a precaution continue to work without rest you know what i have. honestly i'm tired but what i'm feeling is nothing compared to what the people trapped inside are feeling it can't be compared rescuers believe perhaps six people are still alive under the debris a crane removed a significant portion of the fourth floor once in accounting firm underneath a list of more than forty names of those who are still missing their family members
8:19 am
have set up a makeshift camp the family's sleeping here now for more than four nights living off the generosity of strangers and bringing food and words of comfort they're clinging to hope even as the hours pass. just. the idea that my niece is still alive gives us strength not just her but all the people inside the building was sure she and everyone else will be rescued a lawyer while some families put on a brave face others cannot hide their anguish each moment of waiting an eternity. i spoke with a rescuer from israel who said that his team thinks that still going to be many hours before finally making his. contacts with these possible survivors but he says he has said that since hour one and now stretching on past hour one hundred nothing and shaking his head are still signs of life under the rubble and that is what's

motivating everyone here the rescuers the families and the family members to continue their job. or german voters are less than an hour away from heading to the polls for a general election that is widely expected to reaffirm chancellor merkel's leadership but a third of voters are still undecided and that's fueling uncertainty about what kind of ruling coalition will emerge from the vote main challenger martin schulz has urged germans to boycott the far right anti immigration a.f.d. party a long sleep is alive in the german capital for so long as merkel does seen a short of victory this is a piece of history in germany isn't it. well yes i mean clearly unless every single opinion poll by every single respected german pollster is wrong by
8:21 am
about fifteen points then then yes mark is absolutely going to win and that will be historic because she'll end up almost certainly being in power as long as helmut kohl who was you know the father of modern germany in the same sense that merkel's now regarded as the mother of twenty first century germany i mean there is no other european politician who can remotely match in terms of longevity credibility among her own people it is impossible to imagine a conservative politician or even to look any any in any other european country taking in a million refugees and surviving politically you know that's that's how strong. and she's basically a social democrat wrapped up as a conservative who manages to gain support from all sorts of different walks of life it is true that they have a problem with the far right now but you can form a coalition to work around that but she's a she's a she's a massively important figure germans are they know they can see this you know it's
8:22 am
a big scary world out there at the moment and for germany and for the european union she is the most stabilizing influence you could really imagine and sowing global terms then how significant is merkel now. when you know when when when she looks out of the window clearly she she can see and she said you know germany cannot necessarily trust the united states the united kingdom any longer because it's by no means clear which direction those two countries i heading in france on the macro is wrapped up in all sorts of domestic issues there are things like labor reform even though the united nations has been saying that he thinks he can find a way of talking to trump but what germans and what the european union want to be able to do is to be basically to try to offer a balance to some of these big destabilizing factors she came out loud last week and describes speech on north korea the. i said nations are. completely wrong
8:23 am
and they're trying to take him on but clearly she's she's able she has a lot of communication with the russians and the chinese she's close to max and i think they are going to be very important in terms of trying to get america back on board on issues do with climate change as well and so you know a bomber when he left office in the states wanted her to be the leader of the free world she didn't really want to do that but in a sense he's being forced upon and now because of what's happening elsewhere so in global terms it's hard to see a more important democratically elected politician anywhere for the not largely live in belin. how spain is great by its worst political crisis in forty years ahead of next week's referendum on catalonian independence it is the latest move in the growing crisis the spanish government has placed catalan police under its command and that extending thousands of extra officers to the region for the october first vote hole reports now from barcelona.
