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 operation 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 can stay 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 somewhere 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 into 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 observers are being brought here they're being processed here and families are there will be seen 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 very. wealthy people died as typhoon mangku it is going to go on and on provence in southern china called high black has more now from beijing

expected to continue moving west towards northern vietnam scott tyler al jazeera beijing denuclearization will dominate talks at tuesday's summit between the leaders of north and south korea the south korean president and g. and will travel to pyongyang for what will be his third meeting with kim jong il and this year moon is trying to revive stalled talks between north korea and the united states is expected to push kim to make what he calls bold moves towards disposing of his nuclear weapons seoul has played down the chances of any major breakthrough to written off korea of its nuclear program. or don't know you ginger includes mediating and promoting the u.s. north korea talks for d.d. we would try hard to build a new peace poor relationship between the u.s. north korea and regimes and see talks immediately so that north korea can move forward with denuclearization and corresponding measures from the u.s. can be. bright 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 he largely 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. you can becomes their. talks is not about nuclear disarmament are stark and they asked back indeed are there hardliners in washington and seoul especially in washington they have an upper hand and probably they'll start demanding a speedy turn to their hard line maximum pressure point. in holding this summit moon is following in the footsteps of a previous s. 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 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 him 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 dixon young was among hundreds of south koreans who made the journey to the mount gang resort in north korea last month. her dream is that this summit could one day lead to a new era of friendship just about you less that a 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 patients on all sides is wearing thin robber bride al jazeera sold. to europe where the head of the international monetary fund is warning that things will get a lot tougher for the u.k. here khana me as it struggles to finalize a brics it deal christine legarde says there will be quote significant costs if it

crashes out of the european union without a deal the guard warned of the daunting challenges facing negotiators and urged both sides to reach an agreement britain is usually of the e.u. in march of next year she said there would be a lot of negative news from brics it. overcoming differences reaching agreement and closing a deal with the e.u. will be critical to avoid a no deal breck's it which would impose very large cost on the u.k. economy paul brennan reports now from london. this news conference from the i.m.f. managing director christine legarde was not deliberately time to cause issues for the u.k. prime minister but the timing is going to be significant as britain faces a meeting later this week on bret's it and then a summit in november and the assessment of the i.m.f. regarding britain's prospects after bracks it looks quite really the growth

forecast for example that the i.m.f. has put on british g.d.p. has been revised down from one point seven five percent to one point five percent but even that is totally contingent on what christine legarde described as a timely deal and a smooth process after that she said a kind of disorderly wreck set where no deal has been agreed and britain falls off a cliff edge would have significantly worse effects on the british economy other comments that she said was that the w.e.o. the world economic outlook for predicted global growth to be around three point nine percent so you can see that one point five percent or worse shows that britain really is lagging behind the other issues that you raised were that the range of issues that need to be addressed in relation to the great at negotiation she described as daunting there is still significant distance between the e.u. and britain on several key negotiating points and time she said was very short and

she said there were also structural issues within the government within the u.k. economy itself such as productivity so not a great picture and certainly bring into cold hard focus the problems that the u.k. faces as it prepares for this she says daunting prospect. syria will be the main topic of discussion when the turkish president. the russian president vladimir putin their second meeting in less than two weeks the two are on opposite sides in the war has warned of a bloodbath in providence and says he will not stand by and let that happen government forces backed by russia fighting to retake it from the rebels or a challenge has more now from moscow. well one thing that both turkey and russia can agree on at the moment is that the situation in libya is pressing it's acute that is what the kremlin has certainly said earlier on today speaking to reporters dmitri peskov the kremlin spokesperson said that there are differences in approach

that russia and turkey have at the moment different nuances and therefore this requires very serious talk at the top level that's why putin and earl and meeting in saudi now they have much to discuss of course erdogan has made very clear in recent days how much he opposes a full scale assault on it live and that is broadly why such an assault has not happened yet russia has had to listen to the views of ankara so this meeting will be about detail it will be about these nuances that they differ on they will have to talk about the methods by which they can carry on trying to separate the so-called terrorist groups from the more moderate opposition groups and civilians they will be talking about whether these two countries russia and turkey can actually link up in any way in what they'll call

a an anti terror operation maybe turkey might even partake in it if the terms are right now turkey and heard one of the making very very clear over recent days that they do not want a huge humanitarian catastrophe unfolding again they don't want the pressure that this would put on the turkish state it's already dealing with a serious refugee problem of three million refugees inside turkish borders. still ahead here on al-jazeera the worst is not over yet for people in the u.s. state of north carolina which is being battered by tropical depression florence. ethnic cleansing sexual violence and recruitment of children as soldiers some of the grapevine things from the new report on south sudan.

hello again we're here across japan we are watching some clouds down towards the south all associated with a stationary boundary that's producing a few showers there but really not much to talk about in terms of the heavy rainfall what we are going to be seeing is as this front starts to push to the south we are seeing a little bit of a shift in the air mass and a little bit cooler as we go from tuesday to wednesday for tokyo going from about twenty seven to about twenty four degrees and a little bit drier as well so that's good news there as we go down towards southern parts of china though course moving botching maine coon very carefully notice here on the satellite image all of the clouds extending from the center of the storm now it is dropping down in intensity quite quickly but we're still going to see quite a bit of rain coming out of the remnants of the storm as we go through the middle of the week and that's something we'll be watching because localized flooding could be a big problem as the system continues to move towards the west but it is going to weaken and then eventually the amount of rain coming out of it is going to be less here in hong kong though we are looking at some better conditions thirty two degrees for

you partly cloudy conditions there but up toward shanghai it is going to be a mostly cloudy day at about thirty two there and then very quickly down here across jakarta clouds in your forecast at thirty four and up towards luzon well things are a little bit better a few in manila about thirty one degrees. what really makes a good doctor. have to have empathy at canada's pioneering medical school we follow the young trainees why and to create for integration and explore how the experience prepares them for life and death decisions what do you tell him that there's one there's a very strong possibility that she can be burying her child canada's new doctors on the people's health on al-jazeera.

welcome back you're with al-jazeera live from headquarters here in doha your headlines are rescue efforts are continuing in the northern philippines where more than fifty people have been killed by typhoon man caught most of them died in landslides triggered by strong winds and heavy rain in the area of it are gone dozens of miners are feared dead after a mountain slope collapsed on their living quarters. the head of the i.m.f. says there will be quote significant costs to the u.k. economy if britain crashes out of the e.u. without a brics it deal christine legarde has warned of a lot of negatives from brics it. denuclearization is expected to dominate the agenda to states talks between the leaders of north and south korea but sold as cautioning against raising expectations. tropical depression florence is still

lingering over the carolinas the storm may have weakened but the rain continues the city of wilmington in north carolina has been cut off by rising floodwaters officials plan to airlift food and water to the city storm is being blamed for at least seventeen deaths in north and south carolina. new bern was among the worst hit by the storm as andy gallacher reports the cleanup could take weeks. the floodwaters from hurricane florence still surround some homes in new bern but as they recede the extent of the damage is becoming clear. it will be days before the water is pumped from many of the homes and businesses here months before repairs a complete a lot of work it's. just terrible all over flooded people lost. boats destroyed. just crazy in nearby james city many of those living in mobile homes couldn't afford to evacuate others are afraid of looters stealing their

positions these flood prone areas of north carolina remain among the most fragile many people in this area say they feel lucky to have survived florence despite the extensive damage but when you consider that scientists say global climate change will make these storms more powerful and wetter in the future the prospects for those living in vulnerable and poor communities like this is bleak everything ensures. francisco morales now faces the financial strain of repairing his family's home without insurance he says and conditioner alone will cost around six thousand dollars i love. my floor and then it's in there and they tend. to you get beat up in your office in other parts of new bern power is slowly returning at the local cafe they're helping feed the homeless and make up for lost

time and money because record for five days any dollars good to support it brings us all in the business because we lost everything five. hurricane florence left its mark on new bern but its residents are steadily getting back on their feet the storm may have barely passed but the work to repair the damage left in its wake as already begun and gallacher al-jazeera new bern north carolina. the u.n. human rights commission for south sudan will present an oral report to the human rights council in geneva later on monday the report lists human rights violations since the civil war broke out in twenty thirteen last year's report by the commission found that civilians have been deliberately and systematically targeted on the basis of their ethnicity by armed forces including government and opposition forces the commission also previously stated that sexual violence was a consistent characteristic of the conflict in south sudan violations against children were also reported with children killed maimed and recruited to fight on

both sides the un says more than four million people have been displaced from the country and that seven million out of the twelve million population are in need of aid to survive has been sukkah is chairwoman of the commission on human rights in south sudan she says only accountability will restore peace. well the commission has in you know in the last few days what you've seen of the warring parties on the government conclude a peace agreement which they now indicate is revitalized of the commission has drawn attention to the fact that two days off to the agreement was signed already fighting began between the opposition forces and the government in which lead at least seventeen people were killed what we said in our report that south sudan is a country at war with the citizens because the attacks continue violations until

new the outflow of internally displaced persons and refugees continue and of course the number of children would affected by the conflict continued to go on the increase and we see no end in sight the only thing that really believe that will begin to restore some sense of accountability is if the african union and the government of south sudan established the hybrid ord which we have called for and which is contained in chapter five of the he said this needs to happen speedy yesmen suka talking to us just a little earlier let's bring in attorney work attorney he's the south sudanese presidential spokesman he joins us from the capital juba attorney where attorney the u.n. in that interview earlier on our news our program said this two days after the latest peace accord there was more killing there was more fighting and to pick up on that point that the u.n. made there you are at war with the people of your country what's your reaction to

that. yeah it is unfortunate that after signing these agreement. forces. attacked the s.p.l. or forces. in a number of places in a very state which is quite unfortunate. but the report is actually better unfortunate given that. south sudan is now looking for a way out from the conflict to peace and basically meant has been signed so the international community should now give time for the government and the other political parties that signed the agreement to make sure they implement the peace of the many left on its feet and they signing that basically men should be supported by international community in the states. coming up with reports some of which would not necessarily actually help. them ok just to interrupt you there for

a second though mr tenney what you've just said you could have said it's a year ago or two years ago so either. and salva kiir don't care or there are people that have aligned themselves with those two three different factions who are doing their own thing either way this country stumbles on through war and conflict and demonstrably nobody at the highest level is controlling what is happening on the ground or they're choosing not to. well i don't know about. you know president salva kiir whenever he gave orders to the army. to cease those still it is the army always comply with dettori which are whenever you sign the next thing is to see these forces trying to expand you know the area they control in an attempt to have like as the area before

the coming in to force. their agreement itself so this is what always weather and also always make people look as if the peace agreement is shaky and cannot be implemented when you know actual fact the government of south sudan is very determined to ensure that the country come back to normalcy. but when you talk about how the peace agreements have not and you said there cannot be implemented the un talking to al-jazeera said the same thing that is said several times before the u.n. at this very high level is questioning how much commitment there is on both sides of this divide to move the country forward to a direction of peace. well peace is a process it has never been an event. wherever. initiative that happened or

a process that began. concerning the signing of peace agreement only implementation requires time and patience and support from the international community to see to it that you know that peace agreement is implemented you looked at any speed and now south sudan is very busy trying to. bring this agreement to. you know. implementation because everybody is fed up of war. as a government we don't see any reason why the war should continue ok when you talk about the implementation just because we are running out of satellite is going to be when you talk about implementation of the back of implementation comes the idea of commitment to your commitment the other side's commitment to peace following on from that can i suggest to you there's got to be a concept of accountability the un is hinting at a strong belief that there should be some sort of a hybrid court set up with external influence perhaps maybe if you guys would

accept that but is that idea something that you could go with. well the commitment of the government is second to none. but as time goes we will be seen to be actually doing exactly that i think. they sure of accountability doesn't come along that count ability should come as part of the implementation of peace agreement and it is one of the metrics you know the metrics of the agreement you know divide which event which process that should be done in a given time and therefore i believe that as as we go implementing you know according to the metric of the peace agreement. you know all the process will be implemented a little in the spirit and i will commit many second to none as government because we want to ensure that people of south sudan are livedin from this suffering

something that you know happened to them as a result of the war that is going to you once has been a thirty. very briefly mr attorney i'm not quite sure what the metrics of an agreement actually means is a phrase but seventeen thousand women from south sudan have been raped they are at the center of no legal process they are not safeguarded nobody is investigating what has happened to them is that something that you can give us an undertaking on perhaps that the government of your country will now push forward. well i'm not i'm not sure of that no i'm not sure of that number that you know seventeen thousand could have been raped in the course of. the the war from twenty thirteen until better recently. given that you know most of these reports that i guess. collected from people who really wanted to put out eyes this country the country as a culture of. of all not raping women and we we have this record as south

sudanese whether we had a government or we had the soldiers we are we have been oriole the rebels yes whenever there is a war in a country individual state flowing to their own hand but that has never been a policy of the government of the day or a policy of any organization that is trying to you know to to put on the political grievances so the culture of rabies not in south sudan and seventeen thousand now the united nation all we have at that has collected is that as came to arrive at seventeen thousand there is a bit of exaggeration in that we have seen recently when we have where convicted soldiers who have actually taken law into their own land during the twenty sixteen detained in. incidents in which soldiers were actually convicted so we have it has taken law into his own hands is there actually to be brought into book

. and as government we cannot leave any any stone unturned when we find out what that and individualistic a little into ease all and all and all and ok it shouldn't be taken as a policy of the government and it shouldn't go to the site number ok we must leave it there because we really are just about to run out of time mr attorney work attorney there in juba thank you so much for talking to us here on al-jazeera. thank you so much thank you think now what began as an isolated case of a couple of sewing needles found inside strawberries in australia has become a crisis for the country strawberry industry more contaminated stroke risk of being found at least nine incidents so far under thomas now from sydney. this strawberry scare began a way to go when a customer bought a planet like this one and found needles inside two of the strawberries that was traced back to a packing shed a particular farm where it looks as though at the scrum through employee that put needles inside the strawberries it looked as though that was

a one off but since then they have been reports of eight other incidents in places right across australia now one or two of those may be customers making things up but it certainly looks as though they've also been coping incidents whether at the packing stage on the farms or whether it's people putting needles into strawberries as they are sitting on food market shelves it's not clear that regardless of the cools the consequences for the strawberry industry in australia a huge it's a hundred million dollars a year industry and it's already suffering from a glass of stories this is the high production time of year it's been a particularly strong year for production but that means prices will already live with this hitting the demand side the price of a planet like this one has dropped to as low as a dollar in australia say. and impulses and exports are having trouble so new zealand's one of its major imports of story supplies half that country supermarket to say it will stop taking australian strawberries until this crisis is resolved.
