and prime ministers although russia and china will only be sending their foreign ministers as the us happens to have the monthly rotating presidency president trump will chair the meeting and it's already clear this year he has iran in his sights the fact earlier in the year he finally pulled the us out of the iran nuclear deal and the agreement the u.s. and its allies had made with iran to end its nuclear program in twenty fifteen while the other signatories are still technically in the deal it looks to be in deep trouble when i asked the un secretary-general antonio could terrorists about it he didn't sound confident it would survive is he dead though it's not clear that a lot of contacts have been taking place a lot of negotiation have been taking place between different members of the. and so i think that is an effort u.s. secretary of state might pompei i will also chair a security council meeting the day after president trump this time on north korea

the situation has changed dramatically in a year trump seems to trust kim jong un the contrast with his approach to iran is something likely to be causing much discussion among the leadership in tehran according to a former obama administration official who dealt with both countries so i think there are some around ians or say also why we need a nuclear weapons and if we have nuclear weapons then we could get his attention and we could get his endorsement of us the same way that trump is and doris conjunction there are others who would say listen the north koreans have a completely different security situation they're able to threaten south korean away that we're not anybody else maybe we need to do that leaders from around the world are here in new york but events of the united nations likely to be dominated by president trump and the u.s. leader is also likely to be in all the headlines diplomats say bats an unfortunate distraction from many of the pressing issues that leader should be dealing with james pays zero at the united nations. she.

seemed to be seeing two different faces of president with the careers in iran. right on monday is very much a was very much about how few silvia's about the negotiations on the korean peninsula about the korean peninsula so much so in fact that we're seeing various reports that some of his advisors at the white house are really concerned about this he is in the minority in his administration in feeling that there's a lot to lot to gain from talks with kim jong il and. they didn't his national security advisor john bolton for example and others all it's almost as keyed on the talks as he has once again just an hour ago donald trump spoke at a signing ceremony for a new free trade agreement with south korea and once again he was immensely a few some about both the leaders of the two koreas and his relationship with them and he confirmed once again that negotiations preparations are underway for another

summit with kim jong un a date and a time to be decided but what we saw today with a few sublists about the diplomatic process will be in contrast what we see we expect tomorrow on tuesday when he addresses the u.n. general assembly he is likely just point to how progress can be made under his leadership pointing to the careers but we expect him to be very tough on iran we're also expecting him to to be emphasizing the theme of sovereignty that is national sovereignty over the sovereignty over global sovereignty over institutions like the united nations so that should be very interesting and then we'll see the president of iran speak as well the un general assembly so that should be a probably what will be focusing on tuesday and wednesday as james said we see that u.n. security council meeting where strong trouble in italy wanted to be solely about iran against that now it's about proliferation but we can see some tough words there as well but the year definitely has to come trust and you wonder whether there is this kind of thesis that say look we can do a deal on korea perhaps one is is open to be done on iran we're open to talks but

he is surrounded by all those hawks who never made any secret about wanting regime change in tehran tons of thank you very much. yemen's deteriorating humanitarian crisis is also set to be high on the agenda the general assembly. day the un's humanitarian coordinator in yemen spoke to. a political solution is desperately needed to prevent further civilian deaths. in the game and every ten minutes for war related causes ten thousand children have died in yemen in the city of dado which is under military attack right now twenty five percent of all of the children in that city are malnourished desperately worried about conditions and that's why it's so important during this general assembly that the world wake up that we understand what's happening there and we also understand that humanitarians can help to reduce suffering but we can't solve the problem

politicians are the ones who can do that we are desperately worried about what could happen in your data if that closes even for just a few hours that means that assistance can't leave the city and get to the people who need it there are so many civilians who were acquired that that's why everything has to be done to keep the port open. much more to come on the program including a public inquiry opens in the u.k. into the infection nearly fifty years ago of thousands of people with blood samples containing and hepatitis c. . britain expresses concern as hong kong bans a pro independence political party for the first time since the territory was handed back twenty one years ago. and in sport tiger woods arrives in france hunting yet another title story coming up.

a free and fair election because the people have spoken and they chose the opposition candidate when the president elect won he's won with this fairly large coalition of many parties in the maldives the last time m.v.p. came into power in two thousand and eight within three months that coalition fall apart one of the biggest challenges that the president elect will have is making sure the coalition stays together that is able to keep his partners happy this very diverse group of people that is able to create a power sharing arrangement in a presidential system which is not an easy goal you'll have a lot of difficulties coming up especially given that there's a parliamentary election less than six months down the line the political campaigning you know the vicious sort of infighting that tends to come before an election will be present and that's a very big challenge not just for the president elect but for the modern community as well an inquiry into one of the worst treatment disasters in the history of the

sufferers including young children to help them live normal lives but some of the blood was made from pooling plasma from thousands of donors including drug addicts sex workers and prison inmates half of all infected hemophiliacs are now dead that's almost three thousand people as many as thirty thousand people may have been exposed to infections through transfusions the victims are ordinary people infected during childbirth or during treatment after road traffic accidents husbands or wives in fact to be job or parents infected their children care that was a meant to have save lives has caused devastating it's a sobering thought that the consequences of what happened then may be continuing to cause death even now. many inquiries are about events which have happened where it is known exactly how many people

may have died a few if any. this may be the first. where deaths are continuing. the inquiry will examine how and why contaminated blood was widely used and investigate claims of a cover up by successive governments of the one nine hundred eighty s. former prime minister john major and five former health secretaries are under pressure to give evidence. the blood scandal wasn't confined to britain and france and japan officials and drug companies were found guilty of negligence. many british victims have campaigned for years for this inquiry they want justice to leave barca al-jazeera london u.s. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein is to meet president donald trump at the white house on thursday and then reports his job is on the line rosenstein has been overseeing the investigation into alleged russian interference into the twenty

of the owner agency you can see some of the thirteen thousand local employees who are on strike this monday the consequences of a strike of being felt all across the gaza strip two hundred seventy four and ross schools serving two hundred eighty thousand children are closed along with sixteen food distribution centers twenty two medical clinics the reason for this strike can be traced back to a decision by the us administration to cut more than three hundred million dollars in funding for iraq and more recently decided to end its funding of the agency in its entirety the workers here say that the effects are being unfairly felt by them more than a hundred of them already either sacked or put on early retirement with six hundred being strikers with their jobs being lost by the end of this year they say that under a could have done more to try to lessen the impact of all that and give people voluntary redundancy voluntary retirement those sorts of options here's how the head of the

agency here in gaza responds to that charge the rest of the organization has borrowed us forty five million dollars that we don't have for gaza to allow us to continue food to allow us to continue almost three hundred jobs full time and yes sadly move some two part time we've had to make some adjustment but i believe on the basis of facts i can demonstrate we've done a lot to make things as smooth as possible under very very challenging circumstances would be talking to one of the striking employees here and his story does give you a sense of just how deeply these cuts will be felt he says that his twelve hundred us dollars a month salary supports twenty eight family members and that if he does lose his job as he's threatened with by the end of this year that's going to have a devastating impact on a huge family and that is a story that is being repeated here many times over and so that's why. why these potential job losses could be felt so white. united kingdom's main opposition in
