in mexico. one building has partially collapsed, there are reports that five people may have lost their lives in a nearby city to mexico city, also other reports people may be trapped in the rubble. we are still confirming that. also reports are a number of fires breaking out, the us geological survey has measured this quake at 7.1, it says the episode was not mexico itself but around 50 kilometres south, a short time ago we received this update from bbc mundo‘s corresponded in mexico city. in mexico city, just a few minutes after the earthquake of 6.8 magnitude struck the graphical, i have had no phone signal since then, i don't know the extent of the damage. what i do know is that

dozens damage. what i do know is that d oze ns of damage. what i do know is that dozens of people are desperately removing rubble here because they believe some someone is trapped. just after, our correspondent was hit on the head by a piece of falling roof. thankfully, he's ok. that gives you an idea of the situation in mexico city, remaining dangerous in some parts. it was our regional editor who is working on this story in the bbc newsroom. what are you hearing? the latest reports from the mexico city government say that at least 12 buildings have collapsed. it is difficult to think that there won't be any casualties, it looks pretty bad. in terms of the nearby towns and cities to mexico city, have they been affected? city of puebla was affected because the centre was right there. the other thing i want to point out is that today, exactly 32 years today, there

was a massive earthquake in mexico where up to 20,000 people were killed. and today in mexico, there was an earthquake drill this morning. people were in the street, hours later the real earthquake came. hearing some news from reuters saying many are out in the street in mexico city because buildings are evacuated. they are being warned not to return to the buildings. until they are sure that there was no structural damage. they are also saying they should check for gas lea ks, saying they should check for gas leaks, and saying they should check for gas lea ks, and lots saying they should check for gas leaks, and lots of smoke in the streets because gas pipes may be ruptured. checking structural integrity, gas and so on, takes time. are we looking at situation where people are stuck outside? possibly. we should also mention there was another powerful earthquake in mexico just a there was another powerful earthquake in mexicojust a couple of weeks ago. it struck further

south near guatemala. it was deeper and it did kill quite a few people come up to 100 or so, it is believed, but it was mexico city, about 20 million people live there, so about 20 million people live there, so it could be pretty bad. as the architecture improved in mexico city since the terrible earthquake? architecture improved in mexico city since the terrible earthquake ?|j believe so. they are prepared, they do drills every year. they know what to do. but still, a 7.1 earthquake, is the epicentre was by blow which is the epicentre was by blow which is not far away, and it was that deep, the damage is awful. mexico but city's mayor is saying people trapped in building some of this is a city prepared for that thing?m is prepared and rescue effort has started. social media has videos of people removing rubble, looking the people. but so far, no reports of anyone killed. i will let to get

back into the newsroom. nicolas, keeping us date on the earthquake in mexico. to remind you, if you're just turning on, there an earthquake measuring seven one, the epicentre is south of mexico city, five people confirmed to lose their life, but a number of buildings have collapsed in mexico city and searches are still going on in rubble in different parts of the city. the story is still developing, as and when information comes through, i will pass it on as soon asi through, i will pass it on as soon as i get it. in the meantime, let's talk about how donald trump got on with his maiden speech to the un general assembly. nothing was off—limits. iran was in the firing line and what he said on north korea was extraordinary. no one has shown

that more contempt for the other nations and other people than the depraved regime in north korea. it is responsible for the starvation deaths of millions of north koreans and the imprisonment, torture and oppression of countless more. the united states has great strength and patience but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocket man is ona destroy north korea. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. after north korea it was on to iran. the iranian government masks a corrupted data fit behind the force guys of a democracy. it has turned a wealthy country, with a rich history and culture, into an economic leet

depleted rogue state whose chief exports of violence, blood stirred, and chaos. —— bloodshed and chaos. the longer suffering victims of iran's leaders are its own people. the iran deal was one of the worst and most one—sided transaction is the united states has ever entered into. frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the united states andi embarrassment to the united states and i don't think you've heard the last of it. believe me. that was iran, also north korea, next it was and its president. —— venezuela and its president. the socialist dictatorship of medea road has inflicted pain and suffering on the good people of that country. this corrupt regime destroyed a prosperous nation by imposing a failed ideology that has produced poverty and misery everywhere it has

been tried. to make matters worse, the do row as to defied his own people, stealing part powerfrom its elected presidents to preserve the disastrous rule. the democrats are not impressed by what they had to say. here is a democratic senator. plenty to divest from what donald trump third at the un, —— said at the un. we will talk to laura trevelya n the un. we will talk to laura trevelyan in the next few minutes. if you have questions on what donald trump said and where it fits into the order, send them my way and i will put some to laura. in a few

minutes, we'll bring you the latest on hurricane maria. it has been carving a trail of destruction. can see raw power there. we will find out what has been happening. the british prime minister theresa may has fended off more questions about a cabinet rift over brexit. she was meeting world leaders at the un, and repeated tele macro support for the foreign she said the government and the cabinet were working together to get the best possible deal for brexit. boris and the cabinet are clear that we have one focus in what we're doing on the european union issue. we're very clear we have one focus, and we're all working together to achieve that aim, which is the best possible deal for the united kingdom in leaving the european union. a prime minister's diary is always a nightmare.

we wa nt we want a good trading relationship, and to have trade deal in the rest of the world, prosperity and jobs in the uk, and taking back control on money, borders and laws. the lead story on outside source is an magnitude 7.1 earthquake in mexico, these are the earliest pictures to come in, five people confirmed to have lost their lies. the expectation is that figure may rise. more main stories from bbc world service. first of the rest of the german submarine that anchoring world war i has been found off the coast of belgium. the u—boat is said to be in good condition. experts think it was sunk by a mine and could still have 23 bodies. a monument has been unveiled in moscow

for kalashnikov, the designer of, you know what he designed. they called the ak—lfl a part of their cultural brand. an estimated 100 million have been made over the past 70 years. in the hurricane maria, it is now strengthened to category five. it's adding to porto rico in the us virgin islands. we also know one person has died in guadeloupe and two are missing. and there are glowing concerns for dominique. these are some pictures of the storm arriving there. it took a direct hit, winds in the storm are measured at 260 kilometres an hour. there is minimal communication with dominica, but the by minister posted on facebook... at the moment, we have no further

information of the situation. we have pictures coming in from across the caribbean of what the story is doing. this is from guadeloupe and you see the power of the storm blowing through there. this is from martinique, weather has been flooding, extensive damage to buildings, see that died for yourself there. we have satellite images for the storm which give you an idea of the scale of what is happening in the caribbean. the storm centre is over a region of the north east caribbean sea. here's a more detailed map to highlight its projected route. we expected to move toward water rico before going north of the dominican republic. and then the turks and caicos islands. this

bread marking here is the route that irma took recently. will grant has just arrived in porter rico, we have got through to him live. what is the weather like? starting to get wet now. as you can see. those preliminary rains that the company hurricane maria, have started to fall on puerto rico, we expect the full force to friends in the coming hour, and the city here is turning into a ghost town. people boarding up into a ghost town. people boarding up the funds of the homes and businesses, closing businesses, and others hunkering down at this stage. some of the smaller caribbean islands, clearly the problem is the architecture not being able to stand up architecture not being able to stand up to the power of the storms, what is the situation there and elsewhere

in puerto rico? is the architecture, the infrastructure beyond that as well. it's the in the structure of the utilities companies. it is the schools, the hospitals, everything is creaking and decades of underinvestment have not help. that applies here to income's. the utilities company, the electrical grid, is in serious need of investment. the company was declared bankrupt in july, and investment. the company was declared bankrupt injuly, and puerto rico is undergoing an economic crisis that has lasted for release the past year. the storm the previous storm come irma, neither are good for the island. in terms of the relationship with washington, that may be of benefit after the storm passes through, in advance of the storm vote, this is them at washington can do? that is a good point. it is almost after the event that the federal funds almost after the event that the federalfunds come

almost after the event that the federal funds come in almost after the event that the federalfunds come in more helpful. they tend to declare a state of emergency early, and the government here is no exception, he did so during burma to. in order to access those federal funds —— during burma to. in order to access those federalfunds —— irma during burma to. in order to access those federal funds —— irma as well. it is make sure homes get repair and those who are left homeless get shelter, food, drinking water, mattresses, blankets, that is the sort of process we have seen across the region because at first irma and now maria to you on some of the smaller islands, we will see if that is true of puerto rico. when will you find out the extent of the problems created by this hurricane, what is the forecast? i think any time in the next two or three hours, we will start to see things turn nasty. people have already really

started to hunker down. we can expect somewhere between 12 and 2a hours worth of the storm according to some perceptions before it starts moving back out to the, but yes, it is another big one, and it is the fa ct is another big one, and it is the fact that come so quickly on the heels of the last one of that is the concern. will, thank you. stay safe. many parts of this region are still recovering from irma. written, france and the netherlands were criticised for the pace of the release efforts for their overseas territories and the caribbean, this time there said they are boosting resources now, here is the head of the uk military task force for irma saying... that spring up the right quote here... jeremy cooke is in the territory hoping to avoid being hit for the second time. here in the virgin islands, the first indication

that hurricane maria is on her way and already beginning to make landfall. they hope the eye of the storm will pass out and bring rain and flooding. but of course these islands have been devastated by hurricane, just two weeks ago and the fear is the eye of the storm could pass directly over the british virgin islands, bringing further catastrophic damage. what is certain is the hours ahead will be difficult, the all clear will not come for at least 2a hours. difficult, the all clear will not come for at least 24 hours. we are also keeping a close eye in mexico city after the earthquake. i also wa nt to city after the earthquake. i also want to double dirty. it has more journalists in prison than any other country. china is next on the list and china has just country. china is next on the list and china hasjust over half country. china is next on the list and china has just over half the amount in prison that turkey does. his come from the committee to protect journalists. i his come from the committee to

protectjournalists. i mention this because a trial is continuing as 17 journalists accused of involvement in last year's failed coup. among them, a famous novelist and his younger brother. they all signed up his younger brother. they all signed up to 43 years injail. it is his younger brother. they all signed up to 43 years in jail. it is also worth mentioning since the failed coup, and in 50 media outlets have been shut by the government. i spoke to my colleague from bbc turkish about what the journalists are accused of doing. these journalists are accused of basically supporting the coup d'etat and being members of terrorist organisation. there was another important journalism trial today in turkey which had started a year after it related to the newspaper, that trial over 30

journalists, many of them are columnists and executives, are being charged with two the queue and being in a terrorist organisation, facing life sentences. the newspaper has been known as the terrorist organisation by the turkish government. before the colla pse turkish government. before the collapse of the alliance between turkish president and the group, the newspaper has followed a pro—government line and these journalists on trial are known as moderate islamic views and liberal views. they were saying during the hearings that they are not a member ofa hearings that they are not a member of a terrorist organisation, they only red columns, and they were also saying that they didn't know the

coup attempt before it happened. more broadly, when the turkish government sees that it has more journalists imprisoned than any other country in the world, what is it defence to that situation? the government says they are not journalists but they are terrorists. after the failed coup attempt last summer in turkey, everyone who has anything to do with the movement might have been accused as being a terrorist. you might account with a bank associated with the movement and you might be on trial because of that. let's talk about toys r us. one of the best—known toy stores in the world, at is filed for bankruptcy. live from new york, my first reaction is they haven't played the internet game well

enough? that is a huge part of the challenge the company faces. it was the thing. they say they are successful, profitable in many parts of the world, is that if you look at the overall statistics, you see more of us are shopping online. one statistic said last year, about 13% of toy sales were made online. that is 115 years ago. it is clearly eating into the company's profit. they have $5 billion of debt that they need to renegotiate with their creditors to see if they can reduce that, help make them compete more effectively going forward. in the announcement, can we draw any broader conclusions about the state of us retailing or is this specific to the company? people like to say it is the amazon effect that we have seen, a lot of high street stores, big bucks retailers have struggled. shopping habits have changed. thou

—— there are specific retailers like macy's, we have talked about their difficulties trying to modern eyes, using their stores to get people to come in to pick up things they have bought online, but retailers are trying to figure out how to adapt. the problem is the have huge overheads from old locations, many stores, and that is what they are trying to deal with. the shopping habits are changing. interestingly, we have learnt that a us bankruptcy code, which is overseeing this ba n kru ptcy code, which is overseeing this bankruptcy filing by toys "r" us, they have approved the request of barlow liens of dollars to have capitalfor the barlow liens of dollars to have capital for the holidays so they are ina capital for the holidays so they are in a position to recover. toys ‘r" us having a difficult time. so is ryanair. that us having a difficult time. so is

rya nair. that is us having a difficult time. so is ryanair. that is in a middle of a difficult pr story and a practical story. it had not acted in its pilots' holidays, had to cancel flights and less people upset, some had cancelled their trip and others are stuck. there are some of them. we are we a re halfway we are halfway through what is going to bea we are halfway through what is going to be a journey with a taxi and two planes, it's a frustrating experience. i've had to pay hundreds of pounds extra, but another hotel and excellent work to get back, the communication from ryanair has been atrocious. we don't know why it's been cancelled, we are desperate to get home now. we managed to get flights tojohn get home now. we managed to get flights to john lennon airport in liverpool, at the cost of £1500. we

then had to get a taxi costing £100 to manchester to get our car ryanair are an absolute disgrace. we have made a mess up. it is limited, although because of our size and scale, it affects a large number of passengers. ryanair have released every flight they are cancelling. add to their website for the information. that go back to our lead story, a story covering throughout the hour, the powerful earthquake in mexico measuring 7.1, the us geological survey is saying we have reports of a number of collapsed buildings, is of fires, confirmed fatalities, five confirmed

fatalities, the expectation is that figure will rise. the epicentre, if you go in further, is in fact about 15 kilometres south of mexico city, we understand the city of puebla is affected though we are not getting a huge amount of information. we are also told thousands of people have had to go out and here for the pictures from bbc newsroom in the last few minutes. thousands of people are getting out of the buildings, and are now told they cannot go back and because the need to be checked the verse structure and gas safety. these are the scenes we are seeing in mexico city with hundreds of people out on the pavement and rubble being sifted through. we will come back and the next few minutes, i will speak to you ina next few minutes, i will speak to you in a couple minutes' time. we're going to check on the weather

in the caribbean and of course we are talking about hurricane maria, no doubt. it has caused a tremendous amount of damage and bet dominica as it hit the island as a category five hurricane, the first time in the history of this island that there has been a direct impact from a category five hurricane, from the eye itself. now the storm is moving in the direction of the us virgin islands, the british virgin islands and what a re—goats and some other of islands affected together. —— puerto rico. the greens and lime greens are the centre of the storm. we have the storm surge which is the rough sea, pushed by the wind, this is the predicted track of the centre of the storm, the effects are felt away from the centre as well, it will track across puerto rico and

the dominican republic and then the turks and caicos islands to the east of the bahamas. terrible, terrible weather in that part of the world. this lump of cloud here of the eastern seaboard of the united states is also an old hurricane, a dying hurricane, and it is producing some breezy conditions, and some rough seas off the coast of the us. it won't remain a hurricane for long. the rest of the north american continent, relatively quiet. pacific northwest unsettled. in south asia, other rainstorms, this is the monsoon churning away across india, easy rainstorms across mumbai and goa, and more to come on wednesday with some rainstorms of developing across the north—east of india as well. pakistan and gujarat have plenty of dry weather. that is midweek across south asia. asia—pacific now, and this area of

blue is the rainfall, all linked to the monsoon, it doesn'tjust happen across south asia, it extends to southeast asia, south china sea, into the philippines. it's one big system there, notice some break in the rainstorms across borneo and jakarta. from the tropics to the uk and we have rain on the way. nothing too heavy but nonetheless some damp weather for western parts of the country into one state. by early morning, there will be some rain in the northern ireland, western parts of scotland, and thickening cloud, damp weather reaching cornwall, devon, western parts of wales on wednesday. many eastern parts of the country will stay dry and we will have sunshine and one or two shots telemachus pots with temperatures up to 21 degrees. rutherford the weekend... these are some of the main stories, in mexico, magnitude 7.1 earthquake, these are some of the early pictures, we welcome back to the story in a couple of moments. donald

trump is saying he is prepared to destroy north korea... rocket man is ona destroy north korea... rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself. and for his regime. all saints eg has broken her silence on the revenge of muslims crisis, but she has not satisfied her critics, she did not speak to the bbc either, but her speech has apparently been popular inside myanmar. —— aung san suu kyi. the bbc science editor will explain some potentially better news in the fight to slow climate change.
