that in the meantime the concept that it is ok to dump asylum seekers' other countries is becoming more and more normal and acceptable or it's a grace meng thank you very much indeed for your time thank you. now at least 2 and a half 1000 people have been reported missing off the hook and dorian's struck the bahamas the government says the official death toll will be dramatically higher than the 50 already reported. explains emergency services in the bahamas continue to sift through the debris left in the wake of hurricane dorian. search and rescue crews have arrived from the u.s. and canada to locate the thousands who are listed as missing the number of vets is expected to significantly increase. in grief a that bad as a country. begins with the families who have lost loved ones. the islands of abaco and grand bahama were the worst hit the devastation here is

widespread based off of our sample i would say yes. you know we've we've probably had at most 110th of this area and and we so far we have got a copy from 5 human remains. so based off our sample size we're going to see more. in the community of marsh harbor entire neighborhoods were wiped off the map and the debris scattered by durians destructive winds and storm surge have left behind a challenging environment for search and recovery workers. many are relying on assistance from search dogs to help locate bodies hidden beneath the mountains of rubble the challenges for this operation have been manse we have not thing like a debris field like this. there are multiple areas that are impossible there are multiple hazards here like nails corrugated steel gloss you know things like

everything the bahamian government says about 5000 people have been evacuated from the worst affected areas most have been sent to shelters in the capital city of nassau what we're seeing is a lot of families that are wondering whether loved ones are and it's going to take time for the authorities to to identify. the best saying it and learn more about it. what may end up being a really tragic death toll. the world health organization says an estimated 70000 people have been left without shelter making hurricane durian the worst natural disaster in the nation's history. when it up a little. are lots more so it's coming on the news hour including. we have here are enemy harder than they have ever been hit before and that will continue as the u.s. remembers 911 president as a stark warning for the taliban this peace talks storm. and

a small town they will be here with details of a big upset of the basketball world cup and china that's all sorts. president trump is promising to hit the afghan taliban the heart of the never made the comments at a ceremony to mark 18 is since the $911.00 attacks it comes just days after he counseled peace talks with the taliban over the killing of a u.s. soldier article in has more from washington d.c. . it's a somber day in the united states the 18th anniversary of the september 11th attacks and the president did what presidents do on this day as he gave a speech this time at the pentagon memorial and he talked about the war in afghanistan now in the past the president has raised it seemed to raise the possibility that he could use nuclear weapons to end the conflict saying that he could end the war in just days but he didn't want to kill 10000000 people he didn't specifically say that would be with

a nuclear weapon but it doesn't seem possible that it could happen any other way and again at the pentagon memorial he talked about the peace talks breaking down with the taliban and what's next we had peace talks scheduled a few days ago i called them off when i learned that they had killed a great american soldier from puerto rico and 11 other innocent people they thought they would use this attack to show strength but actually what they showed is unrelenting we. the last 4 days we have hit our enemy harder than they have ever been hit before and that will continue now it's not at all clear that the pentagon and the military has really stepped up the fight with the taliban they haven't provided any statistics that anything is in fact changed in afghanistan and the president is in a predicament because he promised his base that he would end the war in afghanistan if he wants to actually increase the fight change the momentum he's going to have

to send more troops into afghanistan and that's something he doesn't want to do so the president saying that if the tax had been stepped up not at all clear that they have been and not at all clear what comes next 198 nigerians are back on home soil after fleeing violence talking foreigners in south africa there among the 640 people being repatriated of the 2 days at least 12 people have been killed and more than a 1000 shops vandalized some foreign owned businesses and potoroo and johannesburg . has more now from lagos airport where he spoke to some of the people who returning home after spending years in south africa. coming out of the car right behind me is the faucet of nigerians more than $180.00 of them stepping foot on nigerian soil for the 1st time since this in a 4 week attacked in south africa we were told that more than $340.00 were supposed to come on the 1st flight of only $188.00 to make it because of some protocols and

least 880 nigerians are back on home soil after seeing violence talking foreigners in south africa there among the 640 people being repatriated at least 12 people have been killed in attacks on foreign owned businesses and a tour of johannesburg. on iran's leaders have welcomed president trump decision to sign a national security adviser john bolton president hassan rouhani says the u.s. should use the opportunity to push will mark those aside. let's bring in action shot he's a senior lecturer in middle east politics at the university of bradford he joins us via skype from is iranian leaders have welcomed donald trump's decision to sack john bolton what do you make of the iranian response and does tehran now think the chance of war is very much diminished. i think what president rouhani show today was nothing but a beary very cautious optimism and at the same time he made it

categorically clear that without a condom the main precondition that the ukrainian regime has been talking about that over the last few months there will be no negotiation what. repeatedly said as longest the united states is not going to reconsider its maximum pressure policy towards iran and as long as they're not going to lift the sanctions there is no point to any negotiation and after not an important point to make but the sacking of john bolton isn't the same as a change in u.s. foreign policy and trump and his administration are still as you say going to keep up the sanctions and economic pressure on iran. yes action can you hear me at all. yes actions i can you hear me at all.

ok 7 some problems there with afshin shah in but as i was if we can try and come back to him but let's move on shall we because the united nations secretary general has led international calls condemning a pledge by israel's prime minister to an expanse of the occupied west bank town of the terrorist says it would be a serious breach of international law and a devastate chances for a peaceful negotiation around $65000.00 palestinians live in the jordan valley leave it to him spoke to some of them. we're standing in brasil always a village in the jordan valley this israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he wants to annex this area he doesn't want to annex that area over there jericho at the old job because he says he wants to complete and carry out his plan without annex think any single palestinian but there are palestinians here bedouin communities we've spoken to some of them and they believe that what netanyahu is saying is part of his elections campaign. every time they have is really elections

they do it at the expense of the palestinian people and you know says i want to annex the jordan valley so israelis will vote for him not more common is that over the how many terms of the palestinians have been displaced several times already there's no place else for us to go the jordan valley makes up one 3rd of the occupied west bank it's already under israeli military occupation and palestinians see it as an integral part of their future palestinian state now this is under threat this is why many palestinian officials have been voicing concerns against nathaniel remark they are saying that netanyahu has this regarding international law only for him to win more votes they're calling it an act of ethnic cleansing stealing palestinian land and killing any opportunity for 2 state solution or let's go back to that story iran's leaders of welcome president trumps decision to suck his national security adviser john bolton let's bring in action shall he joins us

via skype from buenos aires action we lost you there for a 2nd glad to have you back the question i was asking was the sacking of bolton isn't the same as a change in u.s. foreign policy i mean trump under the ministration are still going to keep up the sanctions economic pressure on iran. i mean 1st of all you have to remember that consistency is not exactly one of the key their shoes mr trump yes he has indicated that maybe he's going to be open to caen of easing the existing sanctions on iran to knows that he actually may change his mind tomorrow or the day after tomorrow but apart from that all the existing indications old existing evidence suggests that perhaps about one year before the election he has realized that they actually he hasn't achieved anything tangible and attractive in

terms of foreign policy so maybe he wants to count of the consider some of the existing policies towards iran and north korea and now john bolton is out of the way probably will be in a much better position to rescind. the iran policy but at the same time just simply because of the fact that the as john bolton there is no indication to suggest that we're going to see a major paradigm shift and be going to a major shift in huron u.s. relations all right said indeed the next 3 weeks is going to be very interesting in the run up to date u.n. general assembly when president rouhani is going to attend and going to visit new york and a lot so for a dollar a lot of the speculations that people assume that past is going to be a very important moment for basically president trump and president rouhani to possibly meet but again if you look at what the even ian supreme leader has been

talking about over the last 6 or 7 months based on what he's suggestions and based on his rhetoric i don't think this is going to be bay likely to action so he will have to be there thank you very much indeed for your insight thank you. now the next u.s. ambassador to the united nations kelly craft officially takes up a post this week she arrives just before world leaders gather for the u.n. general assembly later this month the big question is how she will fill the shoes of her predecessor nikki haley that was highly regarded by her fellow diplomats 0 as diplomatic as a james bays has more. sworn in by president trump kelly craft is is 2nd to the u.n. she replaces nikki haley who stepped down 9 months ago crafters a controversial choice she had been serving as the u.s. ambassador to canada a job she got off to her and her husband joe craft a coal magnate gave large contributions to the trump campaign nikki haley was not

a professional diplomat but she had extensive political experience as a former governor of south carolina. comes to the job with no experience as a politician and limited diplomatic credentials this is the you know big leagues of diplomacy in order to negotiate with these ambassadors these are these folks are the best of the best they are sent there by their countries because they are well versed in how to negotiate in these corridors of power that's where the real decisions happen that's where influence is exerted and often it is personality based a small country can have an outsized role by having a really effective ambassador to the u.n. but converse lee you can see a powerful country like the united states have its power diminish by sending someone like a basket or craft ambassador nikki haley the last permanent occupant of this chair

was seen as tough some would say formidable and busted a craft is likely to have a lower key presence but insiders say the u.n. should actually be worried about that. because the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists worked hard to establish a cordyline working relationship with ambassador haley because she was a cabinet member it's felt she sometimes advocated for the u.n. in washington but craft won't sit in the cabinet the u.s. has not paid many of its u.n. bills including its share of the peacekeeping budget and there are now fears some in washington will want further cuts in u.n. spending there's been a real sense ever since he left that the u.s. is ignoring and downgrading the u.n. and foreign policy terms and i fear that kraft is a relatively low key ambassador may exacerbate that problem and turn your tires

needs a strong us ambassador to work when he got that with hailing but he may not have that with craft as well as her links to cole craft was criticized when she served in canada for her long absences from the post she's now about to start one of the toughest roles in diplomacy one that for others has become a 7 day a week job james bays al-jazeera at the united nations u.s. president donald trump says he's delaying an increase in terror son triton $50000000000.00 worth of chinese exports by 2 weeks trump says the decision was made at the request of the chinese and as a gesture of good will china had made a gesture that sound announcing it would exempt some u.s. products from tariff increases in the lead up to talk shuttle for next month the u.s. tires were due to rise from 25 to 30 percent on october 1st. united states congress members have returned from their summer break with gun violence high on the agenda but central to the debate is the unclear position of the president

donald trump had said the u.s. needs stronger background checks but that led to a pushback from the gun lobby michaela reports in washington d.c. . the n.r.a. was one of president trump's earlier supporters pouring nearly $30000000.00 into his successful campaign a fact brought up repeatedly by the organizations leader we stood proudly with donald trump because we saw through the media deception and recognized him for who he was the most openly pro 2nd amendment presidential candidate in history. the right to bear arms outlined in the 2nd amendment is regarded by the n.r.a. as absolute but the gun control campaign has been fueled by the sharp increase in the number of mass killings this year following back to back shootings in texas president trump made a controversial trip to el paso that critics contend it was as much a political campaign as commiseration for the 1st time though the president raised

the possibility of stronger background checks on gun buyers. would. we have had. this apparently infuriated the n.r.a. which up to its lobbying efforts culminating in what was reported to be a lengthy phone call between president trump and the n.r.a. leader wayne la pierre when the president is speaking to wayne la pierre he knows he is not speaking just to wayne la pierre his speaking to his entire membership and millions of gun owners that he can mobilize in favor of the president should he so choose shortly after the call president trump return to the n.r.a. playbook repeating what has been the organizations mantra the gun doesn't pull the trigger a bird and. and we have great meadow building and following yet another shooting in a desert texas

a few days later the president was disparaging about the background checks he'd advocated a matter of weeks before if you look at the last 4 or 5 going back even 5 or 6 or 7 years for the most part as strong as you make your background check they would not accept any senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says no gun legislation will be considered unless it is certain president trump will approve it that's important to a lot of my members it also at the risk of repeating a history lesson is the only way we will get a law the question answered given its relationship with president trump will the n.r.a. need to approve any legislation to mike hanna al-jazeera washington. now whole kong was one of the world's most visited cities last year but after almost a 100 days of unrest key industries like tourism are suffering visitor arrivals in august were down 40 percent compared to a year ago there was
