north korea's foreign minister says continued u.s. sanctions are deepening its mistrust of america re young who addressed the united nations general assembly on saturday he said pyongyang has taken significant goodwill measures without a corresponding response from the trump administration shabba tansey has more from the united nations in new york. the north korean foreign minister picked up on the theme that we also heard from the chinese and russian foreign ministers of the un general assembly that the north koreans had shown their goodwill their commitment to denuclearization by dismantling that test site by ending testing of nuclear weapons and missiles it's time for the u.s. to take reciprocal action either easing sanctions or declaring an end to the korean war the north korean foreign minister pointing out that north korea has more reason to mistrust the u.s. than the other way around the u.s. after all is the only country in the world to actually use nuclear weapons against

another country and has consistently threatened to annihilate north korea using nuclear weapons it was time for the us now to act to. the i did the changsha is can bring us on our knees is a pipe dream of people who are ignorant about us but the problem is that the continued sanctions are deepening our mistrust the reason behind the recent deadlock is because the us relies on chorus of measures which are lethal to trust building without any trust in the us will be no confidence in our national security and under such circumstances there is no way we'll unilaterally to cells first but the u.s. position here at the u.n. general assembly was consistent might compare nikki haley both saying that maximum pressure still needs to be applied on north korea before new craze ation and only then would north korea see the rewards however donald trump was very upbeat here in new york saying a great deal of progress has been going on behind the scenes that will be revealed shortly that he's not worried about timeframes so it will be interesting to see

whether this latest appeal makes donald trump who after all is the most invested in this process in the white house think again about whether it's time for the u.s. to take reciprocal action mark fitzpatrick the director of the nonproliferation program at the international institute for strategic studies he says it would be easy for the u.s. to show they're acting in good faith. you north koreans have been insisting that united states make a declaration of the of an end to the korean war this is not something that is really too hard for the united states to do they could do it while maintaining sanctions i think they should do it in exchange for a north korean real gesture well north korea has done to date has been without verification there is no legal connection between ending the war and the presence of u.s. forces there under a bilateral treaty it was so korea and kim jong un himself said that ending the war would not mean the troops have to leave it's just that there is a political connection that the united states is worried about the north koreans

think that they can overcome u.s. resistance by going into the sauce they see in donald trump and he so unpredictable and so inclined to withdraw u.s. forces that they may have reason to think that they make progress ideally with him first. also at the u.n. on saturday syria's foreign minister called on the u.s. france and turkey to withdraw our troops home his country branding them occupation forces wide one and said syria's government is close to winning the country seven year civil war and in his words defeating terrorism he said that syria is now ready for refugees who fled the fighting to return to their homes the u.s. the two ladies and gentlemen today the situation on the ground is more stable and secure thanks to progress made in combating terrorism the government continues to rehabilitate the areas destroyed by terrorists to restore normalcy all conditions and i'll present for the voluntary return of syrian refugees to the country the

country they have to leave because of terrorism and the unilateral economic measures the targeted their daily lives on their livelihoods chris doyle is the director of the council for our british understanding he says the syrian government's rhetoric is nothing in. it was a row very well rehearsed playbook of all the syrian regime narratives that actually echoed exactly what he said last year you could almost display that speech to the u.n. general assembly to be honest it was about you know the regime is winning it's about soccer to that mosque trailer and borders that all from forces must leave except for etc now i think if you're a syrian. living in hope that somehow there's going to be some sort of political solution they're going to be some sort of exit from the crisis that they're in you're not going to find out any sort of plan coming out of this speech it was a blame everybody else but for what has happened blaming the foreign forces i lost count the number of times that you mention the word terrorism you know that the

regime somehow is the innocent victim of everything that has happened you know to syria that is other people have used chemical weapons as others have adopted terrorism for sure there are you know other parties within syria who have committed crimes who are not good players but to deny the primary responsibility of the syrian regime for what's happening going in syria of the last seven years and there's been a heated exchange between representatives from the united arab emirates bahrain and qatar at the u.n. general assembly the emirates accuse qatar of sponsoring terrorism and in response to catalyze representative. blamed the u.a.e. for spearheading instability in the region. has more from new york. there have been heated exchanges between qatar and its neighbors saudi arabia the united arab emirates and about how they accused qatar of sponsoring extremism and destabilizing the region accusations strongly dismissed by qatar which said that the emirates is

and the saudis are the last one to prescribe about peace and stability referring to the past track record of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates when it comes to war in yemen and its ability in libya and also united states congress inquiry into nine eleven which basically blamed saudi arabia and the united arab emirates for lax finest regulations and also for providing safe havens for extremist let's listen to what the qatari diplomat had to say about the allegations made by the united arab emirates saudi arabia and bahrain and then with you know you step on our and then at night you do what is cause for suspicion is that we find these states target allegations of us and they don't practice what they preach they do not practice respect for state sovereignty and interfere in affairs of other states in fact they terrorize civilians and violate human rights and

interfere in domestic affairs of other states in a manner that undermined international and regional peace and security and this has become evident in the repeated attempts by these states to destabilize security and stability in qatar they have plotted and finance an unsuccessful coup attempt in qatar and you know are you a zoo representative then accuse kowtow or fabricating information take a listen. you need to up our guide to how it is deplorable that kata as usual has adopted political maneuvers in order to exasperate the crisis instead of respecting its international obligations and settling the crisis has added an international dimension by discussing a legal matters that were taken by the united arab emirates in cooperation with bahrain saudi arabia and egypt qatar is trying to disseminate false iranians information about the matters taken by countries these measures were in response to the destabilizing attitudes of qatar for decades. u.s. president donald trump has once again publicly backed his nominee for the supreme

court has ordered an f.b.i. investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by brett kavanaugh this means a vote by the full senate on his confirmation will be delayed for at least a week on his way to a campaign rally trump said he has complete faith in his nominee and the investigation they have we re going to do whatever they have to do whatever it is they do they'll be doing things that we never even thought of. getting. everything will be fine i don't think anything what. i do i think is great i don't think there's ever been any person that's pretty under scrutiny like here is very very good at a very tough process but if you're good man he's a great you're great you're highly respected for many many here at the top of the list and i hope everything works out great. thousands of people have marched in

between the two countries join a whole has this report from cologne. it's said to be the biggest mosque in europe shaped like you flowers to signify openness funded by turkey. but openness is not what turkey represents to many germans and the visit by president recha time earlier one to inaugurate the mosque in cologne at the end of his state visit was not welcomed by all in this liberal town on the banks of the rhine germans joined kurds in protest if he was going to what it does when i heard earlier one will receive a state reception i it was appalled a slaughter of kurds a warrior who invaded syria with the help of german weapons were imprisoned hundreds of thousands without court orders that someone like that is being invited with a state reception made me get up and come here. the third or when supporters were delighted to have him there were all my ala i

emphasize that we should focus on our common interests with germany aside from recent diverters as opinion. this has been no ordinary state visit undertaken grudgingly it seems by both sides the invitation made to president hu on by a german government realizing perhaps that relations between these two countries with significant common interests had deteriorated simply too far since the failed coup in turkey two years ago but while they reinforced economic ties and agreed on a new initiative to end fighting in parts of syria there were no promises given to release german citizens in jail in turkey nor undertakings made to extradite those earlier one considers his enemies living in germany they will work together they will tolerate one another but this was not as it was sometimes billed beforehand the coming together of old friends jonah hill al jazeera cologne. still ahead on

the situation i mean this as always happens in a situation of earthquakes and especially in this war was followed by the tsunami and not only apollo i would add but all through the region. rescue efforts continue . more people are found more damaged buildings are. being you know investigated to say there's people inside so these numbers tend to go up so it's a little chaotic still as one would imagine yeah it's been now thirty six hours since the earthquake the death toll is at four hundred a bit more actually do you expect that number to go up have the rescue teams reach all the affected areas. no they haven't reached all the affected areas and unfortunately i would think that the number may go up there are still a number of major buildings that not get reviewed. and nobody has been able to get

into some of the areas that are more remote so there's towns there's houses there's a rural areas there's all along the coast and inland and i would unfortunately suspect that that number may go up you know t.j. on the ground the people that they've been able to reach so far one of the current needs what do people need the most right now well. they need a lot of things i mean people to begin with don't have shelter so we have sent trucks of goods so to the major years that we have there we're giving people are like hygiene kits they can start pollens mosquito nets because of that we're stagnant water is a perfect breeding ground for or for malaria for during a centerfield kitchens tarpaulins chance we have fifteen water tanks we have eighty nine. volunteers and in addition to that health teams are surgical team water and sanitation chiefs we have a latrine team there is there solely to build the treatments so that we can try to reduce their health potential health issues that people might have so right now

people need a lot i mean they need a lot right earthquakes a common in an asian force in a a tsunami warning was issued shortly after this latest one but lifted they seem to have been some confusion in the early reaction any response what are your thoughts about this. well i mean i'm not exactly i don't have all the information and it might hurt different different sources there was a tsunami alert and i point out that when there's a tsunami alert it's just not a bell that goes green or a siren this ring of people in the community to government action to. disaster risk management organizations such as the red cross they do a lot of work through so that they can read the characteristics of what happens when there's a potential tsunami like the lowering of water so i think that whether it was racial or i think. i'm sure that that's going to be a controversy i'm sure that that's going to be investigated but my initial alert

them to use it despite sheehan's and hey the dubious voters would you stop but if we are together. we'll be. they also question the validity of some sixteen. million voters registered without their fingerprints taken electoral commission officials have say taking fingerprints during voter registration is not a legal requirement that the voting devices are foolproof and changing the system means delaying the paul. because. there is no where it mentioned that we have to use electronic vote but do we still have time printed we. don't need and we are to take on what the law says. those who attended the rally called for a united position this has been difficult in the past because of political

spoken language arabic specifically classic arabic known as force hong and the locally spoken arabic known as the region through it. but there is a fee to the application of moroccan dialects in teaching at public institutions is a violation to the constitution and a violation of the requirements of the law that puts the process of change and development within the whole educational system such an application will lead to distorting the educational scene and the linguistic scene. speak a language that mixes arabic also known as barber and foreign languages such as french and spanish. arabic is one of the two official languages but for the past fifteen years or so dire region which combines arabic words with local dialects has been increasingly introduced the languages debate is sparking another about the kingdom's education system more open schools have a high dropout rate only half of middle school students continue on to high school
