petrol imports north korea is already under u.s. u.n. and e.u. sanctions after several nuclear and missile tests this year so these they're saying since will try to cut deliveries of refined petrol products by nearly ninety percent all north koreans working abroad will have to return home within two years they won't be able to send foreign currency back home there will be a ban on exports of north korean goods such as machinery and electrical equipment and there will also be a crackdown on ships smuggling banned goods aimed at preventing the transport of core oil mike hanna has more from the united nations but what has been a sometimes divided year for the security council draws to an end with a display of unity the resolution on north korea tightening sanctions passed unanimously and tighten the sanctions it does there's a massive reduction in the amount of refining the fuel that is north korea would be

allowed to import also a trouble bat an asset freeze on a number of individuals and one entity the north korean army will this resolution followed intense talks between the united states russia and china to ensure that all we're in agreement with the text today for the tenth time this council stand united against a north korean regime that rejects the pursuit of peace the camera's gene continues to defy the resolutions of this council the norms of civilized behavior and the patience of the international community their arrogance and hostility to anything productive has set their country on a destructive path the resolution also did not rule out dialogue committing members to pursuing the six party talks north korea south korea japan the us russia and china coming together in some form of dial. dog the u.s.

still insisting though that there must be a sustained to say sion of north korean missile development before discussions can commence russia and china for their part within the meeting insisting that there should be some kind of quid pro quo shown by south korea and the u.s. perhaps suspending their ongoing joint military exercises nonetheless the security council coming to agreement a unanimous vote at the end of the year florence louis has the reaction from seoul . south korea says it welcomes this latest round of sanctions calling it an indication the world will not tolerate north korea's nuclear development program relations between the two koreas are at their lowest point in decades previous south korean administrations have taken a more hardline approach when it came to dealing with north korea but president in who came into office in may leans more towards the liberal side so he's stressing

dialogue as the way forward now in south korea is also due to host the winter of lympics in february and it's keen to not do anything to heighten tensions on the korean peninsula ticket sales for the event have so far been slow with concerns that the the security situation is keeping spectators away so while south korea supports international pressure on north korea in the form of sanctions it says dialogue has to be the way forward now how it's north korea likely to respond to this latest round of sanctions while in the past north korea's previously third that sanctions will only have the effect of hardening its resolve and accelerating its nuclear program in august when the un s.c. when the u.n. security council voted to ban north korean exports of coal iron in seafood among other things it responded with testing a hydrogen bomb in september when the u.n. security council passed another round of sanctions in september north korea launched a missile test in november and we haven't yet had any official reaction from north

korea but we can expect a statement perhaps in a day or two put out through official state media we can also expect to hear from north korean leader kim jong un himself who's made it a tradition to deliver a new year's day speech. well the u.s. says it will give you crane what it calls enhanced defensive capabilities u.s. media reports that the new arms include anti-tank missiles but the state department has not confirmed lethal weapons will be sent so far washington has been providing ukraine with support equipment and training in its battle against protesters separatists in eastern parts of the country where fighting in ukraine broke out more than three years ago after progress the separatists took over parts of the two agreements to end the conflict were signed in minsk in september twenty fourth a few months later but the deal has failed to bring peace both sides blame each other for the ceasefire violations recent fighting has been the worst in months and

the conflict has killed thousands of people more than a million and a half have been forced out of their homes stephen fish is a professor of political science at the university of california berkeley he says the measures are unlikely to help ukraine. the truth is that this is not a game changer on the ground in ukraine it's not even clear yet that the empty missiles that you reference in those you are going to end of the story will be sold as genuine antitank missiles is really what ukrainians will promise now really are just sniper rifles this is not going to change things on the ground in moscow knows that this is not the year and the heart of anybody in the defense ministry must go this is again it's a way of the true way that the trumpet ministry if you can show first of all that is doing something that obama did not do which is to sell non-lethal lethal aid over the sense of a to ukraine but also to show people in congress that he really cares about ukraine

and to the political advantage of showing that he's not in bed with the russians entirely i really don't because this is all that big a deal look we'll have to see if this ends up ramping up and leading to larger arms sales to ukraine it could make a difference but so far we don't see evidence of that. in the southern philippines nearly fifty people are reported to have died in landslides and flooding caused by tropical storm ten ben most of the casualties were on the island of mindanao dozens of people are still missing tens of thousands have been forced to flee their homes over the last week as the typhoon season reaches its peak our meteorologist richard angwin joining us how bad is tembin richard well it looks pretty bad but on the face of it no more you expect from a tropical psycho but a couple of fight at play here daryn as i run the sequence there is ten been headed towards the south china sea take a lot for lot more southerly track than the type which preceded it which went

across central parts of the philippines and the rainfall totals probably weren't massive we're talking about a couple hundred millimeters of rain but this part of the philippines lying so close to the equator about three to five degrees north normally doesn't see these storm systems any occur about once every twelve years and going back to two eleven thousand and. we had tropical storm washi which again wasn't particularly intense in terms of rainfall but it caused a vast amount of flooding and more than six hundred people lost their lives part of the reason for that is a lot of pineapple plantations across this region those don't hold the soil well and that makes the whole area prone to landslides have been warnings about potential across southern parts of the philippines for many many years now as far as the system is concerned it continues to move away going across palawan at the moment the beginning some very heavy rain there and then eventually it will start to track its way towards the southern portion of vietnam and it's here we could see some flooding effect in parts of the mekong delta in the next couple of days.

. hasn't seen them for two years and the best she can do is see their faces on her phone my son every time he get away with the with phone when he told me he got a mom when did you come to mind. but it's very difficult. because i'll fly in iraq four years ago but it was overrun by ice still and her family has been on the member since two years of camps in turkey before she got to the greek islands then it was athens it to many on the macedonian border the notorious picture camp amounts olympus and now here mahmoud had left them and has begun to build his own life in germany both he and his brother are in school but as he says he's having to be a parent as well as a brother because it has all the papers she needs to be in germany as well but she isn't and is tormenting her not to lie for the government government jet money it's

not that i know where to where there where did that in. humans where where i we don't see the tilted in every every detail didn't get i didn't feel but i don't know why why do you stop it. so this is where the new german politics has collided with the legal rights of refugees under pressure from the far right germany clamped down hard on his previously liberal policy or unifying families during coalition negotiations right wing parties were demanding big caps on refugee numbers refugee aid groups say people had been promised they could leave greece and now not sure if they ever will i have the cases also fathers with children and the mother is in germany and the girls started teenagers and they really need us and they cannot go and the father

really puts great therefore to support the children but it's not enough because it isn't alone in the camp there are more than one hundred years e.g. women and children all with families already in germany if berlin wanted to be efficient tickets to the ball on the plane tomorrow but politics has been the way lawrence with al-jazeera and their appeal in the refugee camp will increase reporters without borders amnesty international and human rights watch are all calling for the immediate release of al jazeera journalist mahmoud abbas saying it's now been more than a year since he was arrested and jailed in egypt human rights watch says the tension shows egypt's deep rooted intolerance for free expression he's accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos which he and al jazeera strongly deny her saying has repeatedly complained of mistreatment in jail at least thirty two people have been killed after a bus plunged into a river in india's northwestern state of. another ten passengers were injured after

can see with call in the pride that our democracy remains standing dignified and strengthened but it could have ended another way we were very close to traveling down another path that could have been deeply damaging for our political coexistence and our economy. a u.s. government program that provides vital health care support to millions of children from low income families got a temporary reprieve funding for the children's health insurance program at the end of september and congress approved a short term injection of funds on thursday but it still leaves the most vulnerable families facing an uncertain future christa salumi has more from new york. a last minute infusion of cash from congress will get providers like the ryan community health center in new york through the holiday season here seventy five percent of patients rely on some form of government subsidized health insurance money but medicaid covers the poorest families while the children's health insurance program provides affordable care for parents who make more money but

still not enough for private insurance congress has not been able to agree on a long term funding plan for chip just one of many uncertainties hanging over parents not only do we have problems with chip we have problems with community health centers not getting funded and that's that if we don't get the funding for that we know we're going to have to cut costs probably services as well the staff the umbilical hernia is getting smaller so i don't i don't think so a loss of services is a worry for sewell role who works in retail and could purchase insurance through his employer but doesn't earn enough to cover his one year old son very disappointing because if that happens what were we going to do. they should wide nine million children get their medical coverage through the children's health insurance program known as chip how the program is administered varies from state to state but one thing is universal and that is the need for affordable coverage

it's an incredibly important program for you know families who are oftentimes in transition maybe they've lost a job or they've gained a new job or divorce death of a family all those sorts of things can cause the need for children to enroll in the chip program and if the safety nets not there a lot of families just don't know what they'll do for late night t.v. host and father jimmy kimmel sprang into action when some states warned they'd have to end coverage in january i've had enough of this i don't know what could be more disgusting than putting a tax cut that mostly goes to rich people ahead of the lives of children in response to the public outcry congress provided a short term fix but with republicans and democrats still at odds about the future of health care in the united states the big decisions have been left for the new year christian salumi al jazeera new york. a u.s. jury has found two former south american football officials guilty in a case that helped expose
