the u.s. leads a chorus of condemnation against north korea following its latest missile launch. down jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up the former egyptian prime minister says he's being prevented from leaving the u.a.e. after announcing plans to contest the egyptian presidential election. donald trump lashes out at the british prime minister after she criticized him for retreating anti muslim videos. and a war criminal dies after drinking poison seconds after a u.n. court upheld his twenty year jail term. the u.n. security council has held an emergency session following north korea's latest miss out test pyongyang says wednesday's launch proves it has the capability to reach

the u.s. mainland president donald trump says new sanctions will be imposed on the north but support for the u.s. position doesn't appear to be forthcoming from china and russia from the u.n. is mike hanna. for the ninth time this year the security council gathers to discuss yet another crisis centered on north korea an emergency session called for by the u.s. japan and south korea and a grave warning from the french representative this test is another confirmation that the north korean threat has changed dramatically in a few months both in scope and here the threat has shifted from being regional to global. the u.s. ambassador makes a direct plea to china to place greater economic pressure on its ally and neighbor we need china to do the right. president trot called chinese president xi this morning and told him that we have come to the point that china must cut off the oil

from north korea that would be a pivotal step in the world's effort to stop this international pariah but no such pledge from china instead it called again on the u.s. to explore a free for free scenario in which north korea would slow its missile program if the u.s. and south korea lowered their military posture on the peninsula this position supported by russia the militant group of what we proposed a solution based along the principle of suspension for suspension which in visions of d.p. r. k. stopping missile tests while at the same time the u.s. and south korea decreasing the scale of their military exercises this in turn will pave the way for the principles of peaceful coexistence and peaceful discussions between washington and pyongyang but the says being repeatedly and vehemently ruled out by the u.s. and clearly while the council is united in its condemnation of the latest missile launch it remains divided on how to respond the question now with the missile

testing continues while the u.s. continue to seek solutions with its security council partners or decide to go it alone mike hanna al-jazeera united nations and adrian brown joins me live now from beijing adrian so how realistic is it to expect china to cut off the oil and sever diplomatic ties with north korea. look i think in the short term there and there is no likelihood of china cutting off the oil or indeed severing diplomatic relations china still maintains a very large embassy in the north korean capital and of course there are thousands of chinese nationals living and working in north korea as well as people going there to holiday i think what we're seeing at the moment though is a growing realisation a creeping realisation here in china that perhaps the united states might be

prepared to go it alone and of course china believes that only diplomacy ultimately can resolve this crisis but it's clear from what we're hearing from the united states from the united nations that solving this by diplomacy is really futile thinking so china i guess will try to keep up the pressure on pe anyang but you know any suggestion any belief that we had that you know china really had influence over north korea really is beginning to sway i mean just a few weeks ago china sent a highly ranking diplomat to the north korean capital but he didn't get to meet the north korean leader now in the past whenever a senior chinese official went to pyongyang he's always guaranteed a meeting with the dear leader that didn't happen this time it was another slap in the face for china from the north koreans now getting back to oil darren we know that china back in september agreed to cut oil supplies to two million barrels

a year now the united states believes that up until then the chinese had been sending up to six thousand barrels of oil products a day to north korea now about what trump now wants is for china to cut off everything the oil the food everything that it sends to north korea and remember there's still an awful lot that the north receives from china i've been to the city of done wrong many times that faces north korea and over that friendship bridge you see lorries trundling backwards and for. it's now we're told that the friendship bridge is going to be closed for several days for repairs apparently at the request of north korea also we're told there and that china has now suspended all stopped. china services from beijing to pyongyang but that i think is more symbolic than meaningful or a danger and we have to leave it there adrian brown there in beijing thank you now the u.a.e. has dismissed allegations by the former egyptian prime minister ahmed shafik that

he's being stopped from traveling. he's being blocked from leaving the u.a.e. after he announced plans to run in egypt's presidential election next year if he had left egypt after he lost against a muslim brotherhoods mahmoud morsi in the twenty eleven election he's been a strong critic of egyptian president at the fatah sisi. my fellow egyptian citizens i have announced my intention to run in the presidential election and i was planning to start a tour amongst egyptian communities abroad before going back to egypt in the next few days however i was surprised to find out i'm prevented from leaving the u.a.e. for reasons i don't understand and i'm not willing to understand i've often stated my appreciation for the u.a.e. for hosting me however i reject any intervention in egypt's affairs by preventing me from participating in a constitutional right well sahara zis is a professor of law at rutgers university she says she has

a strong following including those in the military. i think it's reasonable to assume that the egyptian government is publicly saying it's a role behind the scenes because the u.a.e. and egypt are very strong allies right now particularly with sisi at the helm and so the question is why wouldn't sisi want to come back to egypt to run for the presidency and i think the answer is by clear which is the sisi does not want to serious contender he certainly needs a contender but one that is known to be weak and will not win the election but simply create the appearance that the next presidential election will be competitive and shafique will be a very serious contender if you look back at the two thousand and twelve elections for example there were thirteen and then nine candidates and sure figure ended up being of the final two or so that shows that he was able to have enough popularity to be a finalist and he barely lost to morsi and one of the reasons is because he is very

well connected to what is now known as the deep state in egypt and military is currently at the head of the state so his connections and his reputation with the military is one that none of the other contenders would have and he is likely to leverage any existing divisions within the military and to leverage popular discontent with sisi particular on economic issues because inflation is at thirty percent unemployment is at thirty percent for youth so he will leverage that against sisi to perhaps even win the election u.s. president donald trump has attacked the british prime minister of tourism a for her condemnation of his anti islam retreats trump said three anti muslim video some a far right british group to his more than forty million followers a spokesman for may called trump's actions wrong but this is what the u.s. commander in chief replied with to resume a don't focus on me focus on the destructive radical islamic terrorism that's taking place within the united kingdom we're doing fine was in jordan has more from

washington d.c. . a wednesday the u.s. president donald trump was roundly criticized for reach waiting three videos which he claimed showed muslim violence against christians and others who do not share the muslim faith the british prime minister through a spokesperson condemned the reach weeding of these videos which had been disseminated by a far right wing group or neo nazi group known as britain first the message from number ten downing was that this was inappropriate and it was nothing more than simply disseminating hate and bigotry around the world of course donald trump then fired back late on wednesday against the prime minister to resign may essentially addressing her on twitter and saying that she needed to pay attention to the own country her own country's problems dealing with what he called radical islamic terrorism inside the u.k.

that of course is not going down well with a number of people on both sides of the atlantic not only have a number of republican senators condemned the remarks and called on president trump to retract those comments but the communities minister in the u.k. sodje job it is now saying that what mr trump has said is reprehensible and that he would use his own position as a public figure to try to fight against this sort of dissemination of bigotry and hatred and of course it is worth pointing out that at the beginning of donald trump's tenure as president there was active discussion in the u.k. about inviting him to visit the country on a state visit and at the time minister job it was saying that people should keep an open mind and not just stand against a trial visit outright but now in light of the dissemination of these videos that have been supported by far right wing groups mr job it's june has very much changed

not a war criminal a former croatian general took a drink from a soul bottles. for a short time the presiding judge continued to deliver verdicts on the other defendants then probably heard again through a translator i have taken poison the seventy two year old's lawyer repeats a client's claim that. clients as he drank a poison this morning she says research spent. probably aqua's taken to a hospital in the hague where he later died in two thousand and four slept on probably at flew from zagreb to the netherlands and surrendered himself to the hague tribunal with his co-defendants he was charged with trying to create what was described as an ethnically pure greater croatia. probably ak was found guilty with others of helping a stoppage concentration camps for bosnian muslims and specifically he was charged

with ordering the destruction of the city of must ask ottoman aerobraking. on wednesday and some of the survivors of those concentration camps watched the sentencing and probably acts suicide. all of us who had been in camps we expected at least the confirmation that this was a joint criminal enterprise and not only the verdict against prayag but also all the men who took part while on the other side of divided must ah some of projects former soldiers understood why he'd taken his own life. but as a vision i'm thinking i would do the same it would be hard to serve time in prison while some are mocking you. these were the final verdict to be handed down by the international criminal court for the former yugoslavia the six defendants had their appeals rejected they'd been sentenced to a collective one hundred eleven years in jail the court was set up in one thousand nine hundred three at the height of the balkans war to prosecute europe's worst

atrocities since world war two bernard smith al-jazeera. now in the coming hours the leader of the roman catholic church is expected to make his first trip to bangladesh amid an appeal to knowledge the growing refugee crisis the country is facing in myanmar francis failed to mention the six hundred thousand range of muslims who fled a military crackdown that francis has been advised by catholic officials in man lots of void using the timer during his visit let's get more of the hyla he joins us from yangon scott so this is the last event mary's church for the pope's trip to me in my house his visit there. yes he's just about to deliver the mass probably in the next half hour this is st mary's as you said it's the largest catholic church here in yangon it's actually in the same compound where the archbishop's residence is and that's where the pope has been spanked staying here in the last several nights know how the trip has kind of been perceived overseas and then are two completely different stories you know that the

vatican spokesman had a press conference on wednesday evening the last evening in town and he said that yes obviously the issue is where the criticism is coming from a stemming from he said but he said if he said it or he didn't and he didn't he said that the moral authority that the pope holds still remains and that's kind of the over of the overall theme from this press conference that they held the vatican press office held last evening wednesday evening and you know a lot of themes that came through were you know unity within religions here in myanmar the pope in his large mass on wednesday to expected to be or was estimated to be a hundred fifty thousand people was that you know there are a lot of scars here from violence but to not hold retribution and that's kind of his overall message yesterday today this is a mass for the youth a lot of people gathered out front as you can see in front of st mary so they can listen in the speakers on the big screen television behind me know that his next

stop is bangladesh what can we expect that. there you we can expect he will be a little bit more at liberty to discuss the hinge issue we know from that press briefing last evening the vatican spokesman said there hinted that they were brought up in a private meeting with aung san suu kyi here nothing public said about it but when he moves over to bangladesh which will be in just a couple of hours that he'll be at more liberty to discuss the revenge issue in public and we know that he'll probably be sitting down with a group over his refugees while he's there in bangladesh and again that's just as soon as this mass is over here that will start in in about a half hour's time spent a little bit more time in archbishop's residence and then head straight to the airport and then straight to dr. now the world health organization is appealing for more funding to fight malaria doctors are surprised by the number of deaths and rising infection rates especially in india and some african countries the same as more mosquito nets and anti-malarial medicine are

two of the biggest weapons in the fight against malaria just ask these african mothers visiting a clinic ninety pregnant they have to take care of money thinking that will some food i would tell you to remember that one area and they have to give all the roles i fear and live among. the mosquito borne disease is a ferocious foe despite global eradication efforts around four hundred fifty thousand people died last year. the world health organization or w.h.o. says the number of infections increased by one million here to twenty fifteen did catch us off guard although we have noticed an increase for the last three years we thought that the increasing use of insecticide treated nets as well as the increased use of tests for malaria would decline it would cause

a decline in the highest number of malaria deaths was in nigeria the democratic republic of congo and india the w.h.o. says more funding will save lives as will a change in treatment methods the number of people access treatment is not as high as it should be we have made certain assumptions and yet almost forty percent of children on the five who should be getting treatment i'm not getting it at all the w.h.o. is hoping to reverse the rising trend by ensuring people have access to preventive measures and treatment both in public and private health sector natasha going to. bali's international airport has reopened after winds blew away volcanic ash from mount agung the volcano has become increasingly active over the past week and scientists say the threat of an eruption is not yet over about one hundred thousand

villagers living in the danger zone have been told to move to emergency centers well the many are refusing to go step past and as more from the amount of gong on bali. i'm here in one of the largest evacuation shelters near mt this is basically the same so but still near enough to do for people to come here and spend the night as you can see there's a around a few hundred people here but only half of all the people in the danger zone have actually registered at these shelters which means that thousands of people are still actually in the danger zone risking their lives it has been a very big challenge for the government to persuade people to calm down because the situation has been going on for two months already back then two months ago i spoke with the family here of a man who actually survived the one nine hundred sixty three eruption she told me back then that people in her family had died of five hundred people in the whole village which was completely destroyed by the eruption at

a time guy. here is her son in law and he actually still goes back and forth to the village which is very near to the crater and he told me there is what he called fire rain coming from that right now. it's a very dangerous situation when i went back to the village in the morning i could see ash spewing out i felt my body stinging my mother told me that that's firing at her fragments from the crater and assign a bigger option could happen but it has been quite difficult for the government to persuade people to come down and to explain to everyone that it is very dangerous and very deadly because it's a very unpredictable and although the warning system is in place all the quitman has been in place it's very difficult to persuade people to spend their life like this for days for weeks and even months in a row. now more than forty years after the death and disappearance of thousands of

people and often time judges sentence twenty two out of fifty four members of the nine hundred. six military regime to life in prison the ruling not the first judgment against those who participated in the so-called death flights during the country's dictatorship nearly five thousand opponents of the regime were held at the naval mechanic school some were later thrown alive from airplanes into the south atlantic ocean to hide their murders. the president of bolivia dollars is repairing to run again in elections in twenty nineteen of the country's constitutional court overturned a ruling on limiting reelection the country's first indigenous president took office and john ridd two thousand and six if he wins in twenty nineteen he'll serve until twenty twenty five with the option of standing again opponents held huge rallies around bolivia calling the ruling undemocratic reports. they became president of bolivia in january two thousand and six he stood and won again

the election law was changed and he was again reelected. the constitutional court has notified articles in the constitution the prevent further reelection it also ignores a referendum that last february now already voted to limit the number of times the president can serve consecutive terms. every citizen has been limited by the electoral law and the constitution is now able to run for election those who will ultimately decide are the bolivian people. initially accepted the result of the referendum and appealed against it saying he'd been the victim of a slow campaign and that his work remained on finished but the bolivian people want him to continue his supporters a jubilant. for us were proud to have justice after so many years of oppression president morales has shown that he's a president loyal to the social organizations and to the indigenous people we are

indigenous many bolivians however are angry with the ruling. the constitutional court has dealt a blow to democracy ever morales is ignoring the constitution that he himself asked us to vote for he's ignoring the referendum of twenty sixteen when he asked us about repeatedly actions and we said no they've brought their opposition on to the streets in protest but they're only likely to grow as the two thousand and nine. election date draws nearer. the moment as a bolivian i don't agree when a constitution is approved by the people been changed by the court the first one to respect it should be the president. should respect it but as we have seen no one in the future but our spec the constitution. is a model is the country's first indigenous president an issue he enjoyed broad support in bolivia with allies across latin america he's still popular but is seen at thirty supports a home diminished by the changing political landscape has left him with fewer
