now but he hates he doesn't like the trade on boy at all and he's being treated very badly and then towards the end the talking about syria after a kurdish reporter i think asked about that you seem to be taking credit for the. for the for the for there not being a bombardment of lip he suggested that one of his tweets which warned countries not to go after the bombarded live meant that the bombardment didn't happen either iran syria and russia and specifically turkey turkey which i'm sure the kurdish reporter were probably wasn't the best audience for that but you but he thought these nations were not going ahead with the bombing of italy and that if she had a venezuela also came the news conference or actually do you hear president nicolas maduro i think in the next half hour or so just remind us what was said about that as well when i was into the i mean just in passing really he was asked specifically you know what you think of venezuela and cuba you know. broadside against socialism

in his address at the u.n. general assembly and he said look i don't like what's going on and i the cue ball venezuela but i was interesting because in the last few hours to the surprise of everyone here nicolas maduro suddenly appeared in new york he tweeted out that he was landing in new york he said i'm arriving charged with emotion passion and truth so that the entire world knows is on its feet trumpet earlier in the day said he was prepared to meet madeira but we've now since heard from the white house of no meeting is planned but moderate initially said he wasn't going to come because he was fearful of an assassination attempt and indeed over the several weeks last few weeks we've heard that. people in the white house have been holding talks with dissident generals in the venezuelan army and even while here has actually talked about a possible military option for venezuela's about some point that but he's now in new york and we're expecting that press conference room yeah i wonder if you heard what the u.s. president had to say whether he's tweaking his speech as we speak for the moment

with the latest at the u.n. thank you. still to come in this half hour it's already south africa's biggest killer and now the rise of drug resistant tuberculosis has health professionals worried plus. i'm lawrence lee in liverpool where the u.k. opposition leader jeremy corbett is demanding a general election and tens of billions of dollars worth of investments in renewable energy like wind turbines the great thousands of mutual. we've had some rather lively showers affecting the eastern side of australia recently these are now in the process of pulling away bright skies coming back a bit high and that spring sunshine will gradually warm up quite nicely as we go on through the next catheterize just nineteen celsius for sydney on thursday but twenty one the four melbourne seventy four add a little change

a little is because i want to watch the weekend twenty celsius the perth the warmth . thirty two degrees a similar value to four darwinists we go on into friday there we go sydney could touch twenty six degrees that's a bit more like it but a chilly southwest a breeze there for adelaide and for melbourne so no higher than around thirty or forty degrees which is the sort of temperature we can expect across south island of new zealand generally dry for the time being but some places a fair weather rolling in thirteen celsius for christchurch fifteen in all clear and give or take something similar as we go on into friday but it should be a lot. dr lodge you draw the moment to forge a pad make the most of that come the way can we have a typhoon making its way towards the country he says sort of the country still saying some rather wet so that is windy weather across a good possible thursday that brought the skies come in at least for a time by the time we come to friday.

the president trumps finding asylum in the us has become harder than ever i am put in place a zero tolerance policy if you are going a child then we will prosecute you and that child may be separated from you thousands of families escaping violence at home now face separation detention and deportation as the u.s. closes its doors. on now.

time now for a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump says he would consider withdrawing his nomination of great cabinet to the u.s. supreme court if you thought that capital was guilty of sexual misconduct the capital meanwhile has rejected new claims against him by a third woman make accuses him and his friend mark judge of sexual misconduct during the one nine hundred s. she said she was a victim of gang rape at a house party when the two men were present. and chairing his first u.n. security council meeting u.s. president donald trump accused china of meddling in the upcoming midterm elections a claim rejected by beijing trump also called around the world's leading sponsor of terror. now the party of the defeated mold the president has requested a delay in the announcement of final results from the presidential election opposition leader abraham mohammad soli won last week's vote by more than sixteen percent with president a bill a yemeni conceding defeat official results are due by sunday but the election

commission says the progressive party of mall deaves has raised concerns about the vote there are fears it could be an attempt to have the result. britain's opposition leader says his party will vote against the prime minister's proposed breck's it addressing members on the final day of the labor party conference require been set out details of what he called his radical plan to rebuild britain has more now from the conference in liverpool. the wealth and then leader of the labor party and the next prime minister gerry. to his supporters he offers hope in a world of neo liberal get rich capitalism and they were expecting jeremy corbin to come out fighting against the government and the system but true to form he delivered a speech which set out to destroy what he called greed is good he tried to speak directly to those british cities he said have been left behind to perish arguing

there's this today that our program of investment and transformation to achieve a sixty percent reduction in emissions by twenty thirty will create over four hundred thousand skilled jobs to ensure that comes about good jobs. called would also have to address brics it since almost the entire labor membership now is far more committed to remaining in the european union that he seems to be he was more interested in seizing power than addressing the euro question and it is inconceivable that we should crash out of europe with no deal it would be a national disaster that is why if parliament votes down a tory deal or the government fails to reach any deal at all we would press for a general election thanks.

jeremy corbyn maintains that his policies are the new mainstream very inclusive they do appear fairly radical set against what part is most european politics nowadays but his point is that he's not really trying to. appeal through the party faithful here he's trying to speak through traditional working class voters across the u.k. and stop supporting labor. just a couple of kilometers down the road from where he was speaking is the post-industrial world corbin says he wants to mend abandoned docks and warehouses from a time more than a century ago when liverpool was a global trade center on the local beach where famous sculptures speak of desolation and isolation caused by industrial decline corbin would imagine a sea full of wind turbines and the old warehouses turned into factories in new industries people seem to buy the theory but there is an unmistakable air of suspicion. it is.

very. easy. as it stands jeremy corbin wants to portray himself as prime minister in waiting he will rescue britain from that of the conservative party and the nightmare bricks it. has been the promise the outside world is still thinking about it's largely al jazeera live upon. an online investigative group says it's identified one of the prime suspects in the nerve agent attack in the in the city of souls bree as a highly decorated russian colonel belling cad says the man on the right named as. the kremlin said was a civilian is actually colonel anatoly

a top level officer in russia's military intelligence service former russian spy service cripple and his daughter were poisoned by novacek in march they survived but another woman died in july after being exposed to the same substance britain's the fence minister appeared to confirm the suspects identity in a tweet which was later deleted. in vietnam thousands of people have been paying respects to their late president has the country observes two days of national mourning. died on friday after suffering from a rare virus for a year a state funeral will be held on thursday was widely criticised internationally for its crackdown on political dissent. a new report has accused china of building coal fired power plants that generate as much of the electricity as all coal plants in the u.s. combined satellite images reveal construction is underway at hundreds of power plants across china that's the spy the government saying operations at those sites

were suspended last year environmental group coal swarm says the plants could increase china's overall coal power by twenty five percent lowering levy if that is one of the report's authors and the senior analyst for the global air pollution unit at greenpeace he says china is using the construction of coal power plants to boost its economy it's definitely a very conflicting picture china continues remarkable development between energy at the same time there is already massive being overcapacity in coal fired power plants china already has many more plants that it needs many local governments and companies have gone to new ute to build new ones even though the central government has been trying to discourage them. and ordering them to stop trying to spin trying to move to a new economy model that relies less on investment and construction projects

to stimulate the economy but that has proved very hard mexico has the czar and the entire police force in acapulco state while investigating whether it's been infiltrated by drug gangs arrest warrants have been issued for two top acapulco police commandos law enforcement duties will be taken over by soldiers marines and state police in two thousand and seventeen at the poll calls murder rate was among the highest in the world. well the incoming mexican president has promised that his government will fully investigate the disappearance of forty three students in two thousand and fourteen relatives of the trainee teacher has protested outside the mexican supreme court on wednesday demanding a resolution to the case the current government believes the students were rounded up by corrupt police and handed over to a gang who killed them but experts say the police version of events is full of

errors but. for us as long as it is not scientifically proven that the young people have died they are still alive but ligament devaney will take the healing we have only come here to demand that the resolution given in line with the law be true and just. well john holeman is live in a rainy mexico city where the relatives of the missing students have been marching how encouraged do you think the relatives are by the statement by the government. i think they are pretty encouraged we went to one of the press conferences earlier on today after introvert the president elect countries manuel lopez obrador talked to the parents and afterwards one of the parents it was quite a moment actually said i finally feel you feel that i've got some hope after four years with this they really feel like they spent four years as you just said flatly to government it's really been put in obstacles in the way of the investigation instead of trying to help to find out what actually happened so this is

a moment of hope for them we spoke to another parent as well a lady whose son is one of the missing and she said yes we've got hope but as well it's more politicians it's another government in essence the proof is in the pudding we have to wait till they get into power in december if they follow this up with actions from the government does seem to be taking a lot of measures i mean looking at the acapulco story that we were reading just before this thing seem to be taking a lot of measures to at least try to grapple with the enormous problem that drug gangs and violence is in that country. the acapulco situation was quite a surprise here because the government is really coming to the end of its term in december they had over this story a lame duck president but having the entire police force of a city is an important start to pull codes having to completely disarm them and replace them shows just how far the insecurity really has come at a record time of violence in the country we've got more than thirty thousand

disappeared people and i think actions like that and a lot of people would say that's too little too late the current administration really seemed to sort of in a way just put to one side the problems with security in the first years of power and when they finally got around to trying to deal with it seems to be too late to really have an impact a lot of people as well have criticize a strategy going after drug kingpins going after the leaders of organized crime the new president elect now under his monologue over a door says that really what we need to focus on are the people that are at the bottom of the chain poor people that have little opportunities may be other than going into the criminal world so we'll have to see when he finally gets into power if that's going to make a difference to the record levels of crime that we're seeing in the country. home and with the latest there from mexico city john thank you. the u.n. general assembly is also as well as hosting all the leaders of course focusing on

the spread of tuberculosis especially in the volatile regions south africa has the second highest rate of tb infection in africa while there's been a decrease in the number of infections cases of a drug resistant strain are actually on the rise from capetown from eleven ports. lost it in bennett visits tuberculosis patients in a township in the western cape. knows it in belize been treating this patient with three months and says she's seen an improvement but she's worried about contracting the highly infectious disease herself our government or our company must give us or something like. a medication that can protect our so forget it is from the vision that pressure directed him if i have to get to the executive coughing and you can't go there because very clearly i think it's both not for us. or stop caring for tb patients which are contract to the disease two years ago she says she's still not

fully recovered and contracted to work tb experts in south africa say health care workers are three times more likely to contract. and this is worse in overcrowded and under-resourced public hospitals where infection control is inconsistent tuberculosis has been the leading cause of death in south africa for the past decade according to the department of health sixty people die from tb every day even though countries like south africa have introduced new technology and medication to fight the disease experts say at this rate it would still take another cinci to fully eradicate tuberculosis health organization t.b.a. hiv care says each year up to one hundred and sixty thousand people in south africa diagnosed with tb but don't return for treatment which potentially increases the chances of developing drug resistant tb the issue is that

a lot of people on to able to to the realities they face every day to actually complete the medication they're not getting the necessary support accessing treatment and labor intensive requires out of pocket expenditure which a lot of people are not privy to to support themselves let alone more than four hundred fifty tb. patients can be treated for the cost of treating just one drug resistant tb patient the world health organization estimates that a quarter of the world's population has tb it says far more needs to be done and the thirteen billion dollars global budget to fight the disease is simply not enough for me to al-jazeera cape town south africa. about us are in london you're watching al-jazeera here's a reminder of our headlines u.s. president donald trump said he would withdraw his nomination of brett kavanaugh from the u.s. supreme court if he thought the kavanah was guilty of sexual misconduct three women

have now made accusations against kavanah trump says he would consider changing his mind of the evidence is compelling i can always be convinced if i have to hear it it sounds like what you're saying is there is a situation there is a scenario under which you would withdraw a brett kavanaugh as nomination is that correct i thought he was about as i thought he was guilty of something like this you're sure and you will wait until tomorrow to make up your i want to watch i want to see i hope i can watch a meeting with a lot of countries tomorrow but i will certainly in some form be able to watch and a lot so rely on some very fair and talented republican senators. well earlier trump chaired a meeting of the u.n. security council which the u.s. is currently president of he used it to attack iran is calling it the world's leading sponsor of terror he also surprised many by accusing china of meddling in the upcoming midterm elections the chinese government has rejected the accusations . the party of the defeated maldives president has requested the les in the

announcement the final results from the presidential election opposition leader abraham mohammed saw the one last week's vote by more than sixteen percent with president of delay you mean conceding defeat official results are due by sunday but the election commission says the progressive party of all deaves has raised concerns about the vote there are fears it could be an attempt to have the result an old china has been accused of building coal fired power plants that generate as much electricity as all coal plants in the u.s. combined satellite images reveal construction is underway at hundreds of power plants across china that's despite the government saying operations of those sites were suspended last year and mexico has the czar and the entire police force in the city of acapulco while investigating whether it's been infiltrated by drug gangs arrest warrants have been issued for two top police commanders well enforcement

duties will be taken over by soldiers marines and state police acapulco two thousand and seventy murder rate was among the highest in the world that's it for me faultlines is that see you tomorrow news from doing well. they live in a country plagued by poverty but for india's billionaires life is all about glamour luxury and pristine. wonder when east meets the new maharajah. zero. get on the home front is going on in both economy. and the present on earth and so on but i am. sure the robe or the are lost also knew all of them there was a new sound soon as i asked all those on the. book. of the me but that's only a me. is

a bit odd to me. when these parents fled central america with their children looking for shelter in the u.s. they never thought they could be taken from each other all the new one is that they wanted to save their lives. like thousands of other families they were separated after coming to the u.s. but that was just one part of a larger story of how the u.s. is closing its doors to asylum seekers escaping violence. for some it's led to a fate that they never imagined was possible loosing their children by being sent

back to the very threats they were fleeing. out of. the. you know there's a photo of the. dollar figure on the end of the hanger but the merit of. a man isn't supposed to be here and. it wasn't part of the plan to save his life and his fourteen year old daughter shadi his life. but more than that he wasn't supposed to end up back here without her. their lives changed last year when he started getting death threats from a gang member a foot out and soon i missing your own fall from a blood vessel when i was. younger and more time in my personal moment up with the

guns and. even the well met had worked as a police officer there wasn't much he could do so he turned to a local prosecutor for help and the. third real or not you know what i opened earlier in your letter for the going there for your phone which are a burglar thermite as a rule for your q. medical north and the north of here care for your back and i feel you. near on me as a new york you know i want all of them for those younger. they're not there. as well mary and i thought you were. when they got threatened to rape or kill jodi he knew they couldn't stay any longer. funerals i work on my mother is there i'm dr dimmick user. has one of the highest murder rates in the world outside of

a war zone. that coupled with high rates of impunity and lack of protection has forced thousands of people like el mehta to flee to the u.s. every year. for a moment the we may be going to go for it but a while but often then what. they will by dying get up. to know i get a. new. bundle sort of adlai that. met had heard that the journey to the us was dangerous a path controlled by cartels who often target migrants but that still didn't prepare him for what happened to them in mexico from i thought i never will have to throw america one hundred dollars and honor my grandmother. in law minister imo because i'm not borrow a lot of guts and we all know what that. she was forced to mortgage his home we don't do it has to be a they were released and good to me to the us. after all the real.

summer of them all of them to. me how you are a bit more how your own car bomb or how you don't like their own. i hold. the door i forgot about mario welcome walked off you know first thing i can i want on for you know her so you don't live there for your family or your long walk through the market i'll come to your level or my heart or you're. going out. come on that's a big. one coming. after they were separated says no one would give him information about her. or listen to his piece about his asylum claim even though he brought took human taishan of the threats against him as well as a copy of his keen police record one of the window for you to come into tone for

you if we don't leave my guests on c.n.n. owns a bit of joy and forth or and if you are mark i mean. those are your career and therefore my boy and career i mean. it can be somebody. they want to mess up ok your example is here your second thing is only for knowing no more. for. a moment adam jones are you sure you are not of. the night are lying with among friends nine days after he arrived in the us a man was deported back to one dude asked when he got here he found out that his daughter was still in the us in a shelter i know you have. it and i'm afraid. i. don't know what it is. and.

i know you're currently now. in the month of. a month earlier work on the. when thousands of families like emmett and his daughter were feeling to the u.s. over the past few months they didn't know of all the trumpet ministrations new policy to separate families at the border. the policy was in the works for over a year but it was fully implemented in may i have put in place a zero tolerance policy for your legal entry on our southwest border if you cross the border of lawfully then we will prosecute you if you are smart during a child then we will prosecute you and that child may be separated from you

as required by law it was a policy that was meant to complete the government's goals of fool prosecution for what is ultimately a misdemeanor of the way a person entered or at least that's what they want to say that it is. the administration has said the policy was intended to deter people from coming to the us and all of the government stops separating families after whites great outcry it resulted in nearly three thousand children being taken from their parents with no plan to reunite them officials have claimed their only targeting people who cross the border illegally if you're seeking asylum go to a port of entry you do not need to break the law of the united states to seek asylum. but it's not that simple ports of entry include the bridges that

connect the u.s. and mexico. i present has the right to seek asylum once they're in the us even people who cross illegally but first they have to make it in. the trumpet ministration has been stationing border agents in the middle of international bridges turning asylum seekers away often telling them there's no space we can't understand how suddenly the excuses that there's no room numbers are nowhere near they were ten years ago of people presenting our ports of entry and people asking for asylum turning asylum seekers away on u.s. soil that goes against our own laws and it goes against international laws lawyers have sued the trumpet ministration for turning away asylum seekers but until a judge rules it continues. we heard that this was happening on the bridge that connects us quite as mexico with paso texas. and as we were driving into the u.s.

we saw two people being stopped by american border agents on the bridge. they were turned away. they told us they'd come from what. it was left in your deck and. that. is that. you know when to at a time if there is a kind of about the what in my life. has only one be thrown out or siblings told us they'd been targeted by a gang and fled and wanted to find their mother who lives in the u.s. but they didn't seem to know what was waiting for them you know it was. in. a. safe zone some came to possess. than it. is just as on the shelf where.

i'm. with it i want to get out of it immediately yes of them or no but. right now they don't have many options they can wait here in what is one of mexico's most violent cities or tried to cross illegally but that now leads to criminal prosecution. it only won't be thrown out tried again but this time we were there filming. they were stopped by border patrol agents again and were told to wait.

and then despite being told it was for just a half hour earlier they were allowed into the u.s. . we found out later that they were separated. it only more who's eighteen was sent to an adult detention center and put their own sixteen to a children's shelter. many people who are right i mean they don't even know what asylum is they know that they left because they needed to save their lives. those seeking asylum in the u.s. are interviewed by the government to see if they qualify it's called a credible fear interview. the outcome determines whether or not they can stay. but the administration is seeking to made that harder by changing their criteria for asylum in a way that seems targeted at central.
