well and years ago i also lost my there are more than one hundred fifty volunteers working for several working buses teachers say it is working class attendance has improved the volunteers also act as security guards. shooting people are not sure to burn themselves and their other countries have managed to solve this problem but you worry that this conflict could erupt into a problem right open war that the city's general security is where the people who pay the price clearly they're right up in prejudice setting the stage for a serious debate up front at this time on al-jazeera. if war comes make no mistake the north korean regime will be utterly destroyed

the u.s. leads a chorus of condemnation against north korea following its latest massaro. alone down in jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up a former egyptian prime minister says he's being prevented from leaving the u.n. after announcing plans to contest the egyptian presidential election. donald trump lashes out at the british prime minister after she criticized him for retreating from videos. on pope francis prepares to fly to bangladesh from million dollars the range of crisis deepens. the u.n. security council has held an emergency session following north korea's latest missile test pyongyang says wednesday's launch proves it has the capability to reach the u.s. mainland by. and 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 united nations 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 scale the threat is shifted from being regional to global so 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 more 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 freeze for free scenario in which north korea would slow its missile program if u.s. and south korea lowered their military posture on the peninsula this position supported by russia the militant group with whom 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 been 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 if the missile testing

continues will the u.s. continue to seek solutions with its security council partners or decide to go it alone mike hanna al-jazeera united nations. brown has more now from beijing. i think in the short term there is no likelihood whatsoever of china severing diplomatic ties with north korea or indeed cutting off the oil in september of course china did announce that it was limiting oil exports to north korea to two million barrels a year now as far as the trumpet ministration is concerned that is two million barrels too much what they want is for china to cut off not just exports of oil but also the food and medical aid that it sends to north korea of course there's much that the north receives from china that's outside the scope of u.n. sanctions but china of course wants to avoid a situation which would lead to the collapse of the regime in north korea that of course would pose

a direct threat to china's national security now president xi jinping and president trump have held another telephone conversation but the readout of those conversations is very different here in beijing the official shema news agency says that trump thanked china once more for its efforts to try to resolve the crisis on the korean peninsula and that president xi jinping agreed to continue talking to all related parties whereas the readout from the white house says the president from once more urged china to use all leavers to persuade north korea to end its hostility there is i think in the chinese capital now a growing realisation that the chances of finding a diplomatic solution are proving futile and that perhaps the united states might well be prepared to go alone over north korea. the united arab emirates has dismissed allegations by the former egyptian prime minister ahmed shafik that he's being stopped from traveling to speak says he's being blocked from leaving the

u.a.e. after he announced plans to run in egypt's presidential election next year left egypt after he lost against the muslim brotherhoods mohamed morsi in the two thousand and eleven election. 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 affairs by preventing me from participating in a constitutional right while sahara zs 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 public laying of

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 watch a fig 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 sheffield 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 attacked the british prime minister to resign may for condemnation of his islam re tweets trump said three on to muslim videos from a far right british group to his more than forty million followers a spokesman for terrorism a call transactions wrong on this is what trump replied with tourism don't focus on me focus on the destructive radical islamic terrorism that's taking place within the united kingdom we're doing fine wasn't 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 weighting 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 simply disseminating hate and bigotry around the world of course donald trump but 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 . now in the coming hours pope francis is expected to make his first trip to

bangladesh and made an appeal to acknowledge the growing refugee crisis the country is facing in myanmar the leader of the roman catholic church failed to mention the six hundred thousand range of muslims who fled a military crackdown that francis has been advised by catholic officials in may in mali to avoid using the term or hinge it during his visit scotland has the latest from a young girl. pope francis has wrapped up now there's criticism externally outside of human rights that he did not say did not specifically directly bring up the crisis. here in the country saying that even though he didn't say that or didn't bring it up directly he did not the pope. still holds that figure and that. that. earlier in the week that there were might have been brought up there was nothing publicly said about it but. now the pope on his last day. the largest

catholic church. is the second. and. can be brought up more publicly. on his original schedule. exactly when that's going to be happening but. the capital bangui and again as we're hearing from the spokesman from the vatican be able to speak more freely about the raid there because it's not a sensitive obviously as it was here. syrian government forces have been accused of using. cluster bombs to carry out attacks in a rebel held damascus. by the weapons. to. protest the constitutional court ruling allows the president to run for.

president. that thrives on. the a. dry weather across the middle east that the my was still a fair amount of cloud having said that spilling out of the black sea towards the caspian sea and we are going to see that mix of race statements no across georgia. feeding over towards northern parts solve iran as we go on through the next couple of days the possibility of wanted to showers here on the southern end of the caspian elsewhere is fine it's drive to see temperatures in karate getting up to thirty celsius a little bit or warped aroud going to see those temperatures into many places across the region having said that maybe getting up to thirty three there in mecca here in doha highs of around twenty little bit of think

a cloud course in northern sections of the gulf and that joins up with some think it's now that we also have just making its way sympathetic largest making its way across america central northern parts of saudi arabia might just catch one or two showers over the next day or so but elsewhere i suspect it is going to stay dry this stays largely dry too much of southern africa few showers just around the eastern cape heavy showers continue into northern parts of mozambique in design right up into the congo basin and those showers a course extend all the way up into tropical africa warburg showers coming in across the gulf of guinea but they are the process moving south.

a translator i have taken poison. the seventy two year old's lawyer peter klein's claim. clients as he drank a poison this morning she says research spent at least the curtains was 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 pass ottoman era bridge. on wednesday and must start some of the survivors of those concentration camps watch 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 we show i am 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 bali's international airport has reopened after winds blew away volcanic ash from mount a gung the volcano has become increasingly active over the past week and scientists say the threat of an eruption is not get over about one hundred thousand villages

living in the danger zone and have been told to move to emergency centers although many are refusing to go stop fast and has more from bali. i'm here in one of the largest evacuation shelters near mt this is basically the same 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 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 this situation has been going on for two months already back then two months ago i spoke with a 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 the time. 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 my body stinging my mother told me that that's firing at her fragments from the crater and a sign of 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 money is a very unpredictable and although the warning system is in place all the equipment has been in place it's very difficult to persuade people to spend their life's like this for days for weeks and even months in

said breaking people down doesn't help build the country up but it is really really unfair winning and creating while and for these kind of things that are definitely damage them and you can countries an orderly a measure of performance so i don't think we should run word this kind of thing and negotiations and talking to each other is the best course. he also said while islamic groups are great at orchestrating large rallies when it comes to the business of governing voters pick established parties that know how to get things done. he points to projects like this one a vocational training center for women completed in two thousand and fifteen it offers a variety of free and subsidized professional courses all designed to help women enter the workforce. and. to study skills are also very important for girls even if you have ten masters degrees you can't guarantee you'll get a job but if you have this to your diploma you can be confident of finding work

while religious parties focus on the spiritual side of life as established its reputation on brick and mortar projects like these that help improve people's daily lives and that's what the ruling party leaders say will keep them popular at the polling. hospitals roads bridges community centers large infrastructure projects or what many voters think of when they think of pm eleven. but a series of political challenges has taken a toll on the party's public image. i think this government is a total flop. all my life i voted for the muslim league but no washer reef is in and out of court. can we vote for a guy like me. not everyone feels the same way they could. when they don't. look during the previous administration. apart to build the motorway between islamabad and lahore during this administration he built five power plants and he
