pm here in the french capital you watching live from paris au france thirty four until the just wilson these are all top stories. north korea is making a phone call so says the u. s. as the security council holds an emergency session on how to respond to this weekend's nuclear provocation. another step towards peace be colombian government is today signing a ceasefire deal with countries lost nature of rebel groups the l. n.. spend a very warm welcome key figures from venezuela's opposition kick off a tour of europe by holding talks with the french president emmanuel mccall here in paris .

good evening we begin with the latest from the un security council which held an emergency session earlier on today to discuss. to respond to north korea's hydrogen bomb tests during the weekend. well it's a move which drew condemnation and anger from right across the globe including from russia and china. well today's meeting us ambassador to the united nations nikki haley who said that the secretive communist country's leader kim jong bone is and i quote. begging for war and she warned that u. s. patients is fast running out is what she said. where we have engaged in numerous direct and multilateral talks with the north korean regime? and time after time they have not worked. the time for half measures in the security council is over. the time has come to exhaust all of our diplomatic means. before it's too late.

the us ambassador to the un not speaking that will front so it was just gonna massalia is that at the un headquarters in new york. with the latest on today's emergency such. well us ambassador to the un nikki haley said that a new sanctions resolution well alone that north korea is in the making. and it we circulated this week and it will come to a vote it's most likely on that monday september eleventh not diplomats as saying that it could be circulated. as early as tuesday it is likely to contain but new sanctions on north korea up probably on petrol textiles that tourism and also own a foreign workers there many. a north korean foreign workers in particular in china and in russia who send money back home. so that is what is likely to be targeted but the question is but would china agree to such as sanctions. and also

in any case would sought sanctions but even if they went through but be implemented because that has been a persistent problem. but way that the previous reservations if this resolution goes through will be the eighth round of sanctions whole north korea now that china has expressed concern about. any sort of broke on that in pools of oil saying that that to holr program but but nikki haley the u. s. ambassador cool that proposal yet again insult saying. that the russians had destination they said that the only way forward. is through dialogue a political and diplomatic solution but we don't seem to be making much headway on the facts that you said earlier that nikki haley said that essentially north korea is begging for war.

needless to say eight rounds of sanctions is amazing isn't it was anything left. any sector of the economy left to impose sanctions on. and of course jessica north korea's been saying for quite some time now that you s. territory. is well within striking distance of its latest weaponry. allison all skewed or you live in united states how is this affecting but the national mood our people to give the person people nervous. some people a nervous but certainly today it's labor day and most people are either at the beach or having a barbecue. but there is some level of angst about this but but i've spoken to people who had lived through the cuban missile crisis and they said that that was really when. i felt there was an imminent threat against new york in particular and so one woman in her seventies so i spoke to over time. but psychologists tell me but that really cut what new york was a more worried about it is the sanity of that own presidents a role that the sanity of the north korean president indeed. the headlines today in the new

york daily news was still there can insanity but yes i hear that people improbable wide about the isabella because words coming from donald trump but then all. but rushing to find out where the nearest fall out shelter is that say will be interesting to watch is that what will happen here in new york in this building or the building right next in the general assembly. in just over a fortnight's in that d court. the colombian president juan manuel santos says that his government is due to sign a bilateral ceasefire deal with the country's loss remaining rebel group the e. l. n. all the. national liberation army. that deal is being signed later on today in ecuador which as been hosting negotiation
