they're dead at least we can retrieve their bodies and make our peace jamelle alan dawn is at the rescue site in it's a go. we were in korea and province for several days that is the place where the typhoon first made landfall we need are we here in vengeance provincetown the cordilleras this region actually bore the brunt of this typhoon we are now we need to go in villages took us about twelve hours to get here and along the way we saw the devastation the damage on the roads on communities and homes and power and communication lines we saw bodies being brought in from another side of the mountain now i'm just going to step aside and actually show you this is the village where the main rescue operations is actually being focused on all the late saturday that is when the landslide started it started from the top of that mountain the ground then started to fall and has stayed down all the way to the bottom of the

mountain the foot of the mountain where a village a community of people actually live in that area somewhere there you can see there are volunteers. conducting rescue operations for people operations by hand some where there is the bunk house where more than thirteen miners actually tried to take shelter only for them to end up trapped in that bunker house it is very difficult to bring a machine a backhoe to actually help that operation because as you can see it is just logistically very difficult there was an attempt to bring in two backhoes on the other side of the hill further to backhoes were brought in there but then they both of those factors have been stuck so you can see now that is something that is going to take some time to the operation there is a list of people who have been reported missing that list keep on keeps on growing the bodies of those people who have perished are being brought here they're being

processed here and families are there wilting for news from their loved ones according to local officials it is definitely a race against time because the typhoon happened late saturday and now it's been almost two days so they say this is a race against time hopes of getting actually someone out there alive the same but they will do their very best. well typhoon mt hood has now we can but not before making landfall in southern china forecasters are still warning that strong winds and heavy rain will last until tuesday at least four people were killed because of falling trees and construction materials across the province of guangdong cleanup efforts are underway in hong kong a big cleanup operation there also underway after one could cause widespread damage and flooding hundreds of roads across the city have been blocked because of fallen trees and debris flights of slowly begun to resume but many public transport services remain suspended causing huge traffic jams in court is one of the most powerful storms to hit the territory in two decades. moving on denuclearization

will dominate talks at tuesday's summit between the leaders of north and south korea and south korea's president when jean will travel to pyongyang for what will be his third meeting with kim jong un this year moon is trying to revive stalled talks between north korea and the united states he's expected to push mr kim to make what he's calling bold moves towards disposing of his nuclear weapons. or don't you eat dinner includes mediating and promoting the u.s. north korea talks with d.d. we will try hard to build a new peaceful relationship between the u.s. north korea and regimes in syria talks immediately so that north korea can move forward with denuclearization and corresponding measures from the u.s. can be used robin wright has more on that story for us from seoul. south korean president moon j.n. travels to pyongyang determined to breathe new life into an initiative launched the started and which now seems to be stalled. he knows the price of failure could be

a return to the dangerous brinkmanship of missile testing and. if it becomes their. talks it is not about nuclear disarmament are stark and they asked back again. are there hardliners in washington and seoul especially in washington they have an upper hand and probably they'll start demanding their speedy turn to their hard line maximum pressure point. in holding this summit moon is following in the footsteps of a previous us or president roh moo hyun a like minded reformer who held talks in pyongyang in two thousand and seven this will be moon's third summit with the north korean leader kim jong il and. their first landmark meeting was in april at the panmunjom truce village on the demilitarized border zone separating the two koreas they met there again in may

when the prospect of talks between north korea and the u.s. seemed to be in jeopardy. it helped pave the way for the historic meeting between kim and u.s. president donald trump in singapore the following month. the floor in relations has seen tangible results. reunions of families separated by the korean war have restarted for the first time since twenty fifteen. eighty five year old back so young was among hundreds of south koreans who made the journey to the mount common gang resort in north korea last month her dream is that this summit could one day lead to a new era of friendship you just heard about you left out that family members could be allowed to go back and forth and visit each other's homes nothing would be basic then that. there have been other notable signs of progress the return by north korea of the remains of u.s. soldiers killed in the war but the ultimate prize as moon has known from the start

is for the north to give up its nuclear weapons. this is a precious start for the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula several months on there's little sign of that happening north korea waits for some relief from sanctions the united states is still waiting for the north to give up any of its nuclear weapons and neither seems to see a way forward moving the mediator heads north knowing that patience on all sides is wearing thin robert bride al jazeera saw the confirmation of president donald trump's pick for the supreme court is up in the air today after an allegation of sexual abuse the judiciary committee was set to vote on brett kavanaugh nomination on thursday but given this new revelation some politicians want that to be delayed from washington his practical hand. if brett kavanaugh is confirmed he will change the highest court for a generation he will cement it as solidly conservative it's

a high stakes nomination that has been controversial from the beginning with republicans refusing to hand over hundreds of thousands of documents from his long legal career this nomination is going to be tainted it will be stain. by a badly broken process that has shattered the norms despite that in just days it was expected he would get past the first vote and be on his way to final confirmation until this the washington post has a story about what one woman alleges kavanah did to her in high school christine bleakley ford going public the post writes well his friend watched she said cavanagh pinned her to a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one piece bathing suit and the clothing she were over it when she tried to scream she said he put his hand over her mouth i thought he might inadvertently kill me said ford she managed to escape and she even

fighting. yemen's turmoil is a lethal mix of the tactics of warfare the tactics of diplomacy from negotiations that could be a touch with that and a humanitarian crisis the fighting isn't just on the battlefield the suffering goes right across yemen and it's getting worse. in the stillness of a remote village and province they're eating the leaves of trees to survive they're cooked and mashed into a paste. i personally i don't you believe this is my cellar has been cut is a main meal for my children even though this cause and each unit in drowsiness what can we do. now. we cook tree leaves we have no nutrition we will die here we have no one but god this is the nearest medical center to the village where they had to resort to eating leaves my nutrition could end up being the biggest killer

like they were twigs it's unbelievable the wind damage that she that she with here on friday unfortunately like you mentioned it's the water the flooding they are most concerned with at this point they have had the high water rescues throughout the area trying to get to rescue people who have been stranded all weekend long. tens of thousands of people though could still be in jeopardy as you mentioned because peter people can't get into this area and they can't get out and there are many people who can only get out of their homes right now because of boats the numbers from the storm overwhelming n.b.c. news can confirm at least sixteen storm related deaths at the height of the storm there were a million people plus without power and there have been more than two and a half feet of rain that have fallen since friday here and these rivers in this area are absolutely swollen and there is nowhere for this water to go sadly
