ago we can get it to you in headquarters in new york daniel hoffman is that. an at daniel clearly and it was this video and these images that the ready shocked the world and trump's of this meeting at the un security council. up what exactly was discussed. well we've you united the main elements was. this idea of a new sanctions individual sanctions actually targeting perpetrator is of a human trafficking and slavery in leleave yet why is it importrtant to remind here s that actuallyy there is already. sanctions committee that was at first established in twoo thousand e eleven and that's at issue sanctions in the past. a assets freeze or travelel bass against certan individuals here the idea would be to add a n new setf sanctions to specifically target these at people are these organizatioions that . involved and at the syrian trafficking or and this. and does this less slavery at that process now and as this is s still a wororking progressss and the gathering also focused heavily in wha.

concrete steps can be taken to s stop. t this ad of slavery happening in libya and one of the ideas that was that invoked by that chairman of the international and migration office. was to and see the detention center where tens of thousanands of african migrants a and refugeeees transits and hoping for most of them to reach. their coast of could have a role y they've issued para para warrant an arrest of plans warrants aris in the past so they could issue. new ones if. the perpetrators of slavery and human trafficking where to be found and daniel is that consensus that among

the members of the un security council that to some strong action must be taken on libya. well there seems to be. consensus data a new tax can be voted no what's would be the details of this tax is still and to be decided and there hasn't been that any kind of the resolution that was. announcing a so for now this is mostly declaration of intent it's also important to remember that just two weeks ago and there was at a resolution that was adopted. at on human trafficking on a general level in one specifically. referring to. libya but dead there was a consensus on this one tag so whether or not this could be also the case if this was to target specifically a country. likely guy still to be known and there could be a new elements within the next few weeks. daniel hoffman in new york thank you very much and dates. now north korea has fired another ballistic missile south korea and japan say that it flew over the sea

between south korea and japan the united states and south korea say they are still analyzing. what kind of missile was fired? it's north korea's first launch since it fired a missile over japan in mid september the united states of course is. leading efforts to pressure north korea to abandon its nuclear program via international sanctions and the u. s. president donald trump has of course exchanges and. past no insult sent via twitter at with that the leader of north korea at kim at john earn as well for more on that it said go to washington our correspondent philip crown is that. outfit what is known about this missile launch at this time. quite a lot now over the last few minutes we have. receive confirmation from the pentagon all of this launch first of all and that's the u. s. military believes this was an. intercontinental ballistic missile launch in other words this was a missile that could have reached another continent in other words. the united states this was

a missile that flew around one thousand kilometers says the pentagon that is a significant d distance and landed. in the sea of japan now what makes this a really important test is first of all. there hasn't been one for a long time and this is an intercontinental ballistic missile test meaning that it can go further and indeed we have a confirmation from the pentagon. that this did go a long way that's what we have from the pentagon at this point there of course still analyzing exactly what happened and what the range all this missile. walls and potentially could be. in the future where also expecting to hear from the u. s. president of from donald trump in the next few minutes he will be speaking to the pool and the white house. had that's the a camera pull in other words these are this is footage that will be getting in the next few minutes he'll be speaking in the roosevelt room and whip expecting him. a to address this launch all the missile by the regime of

a kim jong go in there are its other news here in washington he might be speaking. about tax reform but the big news of course on the international front is that missile testament's all that was launched at three seventeen am a local time. in north korea twenty kilometers or so north of pyongyang this is according to the u. s. military south korean military and the japanese military they all tend to work together. and release this information ish korea's nuclear program i o. the priority in terms of foreign policy. yeah absolutely he could. he could respond pretty a vociferously here in the white house in the next few minutes that he has had very little time. at to prepare for this this was a launch. under two hours ago it here

local time and that means that he's had very little time to speak to his aides to those who. might tell him what would be the prudent way of putting things when he speaks to essentially. of the nation and to everybody. in just a short while at from the white house and of course we will be comparing what he says to rhetoric used in the past not just on twitter also very much. in public that when he'd travel to asia for the first time and he addressed the south korean parliament said his was a very very aggressive speech towards north korea and of course. that he has in the past used rhetoric like fire and fury that could be aimed. at north korea he has suggested that he might be ready for the total. the total destruction of north korea and of course they were those personal insults. when he called kim jong un the leader of north korea the rocket man. those are things that might well come up a again t thatn

this a statement that he will be giving in the next few minutes we don't have. any preview of what he might say but again with very little time to prepare for this with this having happened over the in the last two hours. this is pretty hastily arranged. for t the u. s s. president should be hearing from him in just a few minutes and we do expect him to address. this and launch all that intercontinental ballistic missile again that's confirmation from the pentagon it believes that's the type of missile. and that was fired by north korea senate thank you very much indeed different crown for that in washington at awaiting comments from president trump on this latest david. for more thans my for that knowledge that france had a long and tangled history with his former colonies but he also said that he was from a generation that would not

tell africans what to do. here he is sitting days in a nice house it exchange with one student. who lost macron about electricity shortages invoking of asa? we have so to speak to me as if france was still a colonial power but i do know one to take care of alex. the problems in our universities a quick enough aside. his job. the job the president. i don't know. i don't up soon they'll the honda real. going away. that. he's off to repair the act and.

so i'm with you would you do. little unable joining me to talk a bit more about all of that. medley. well i'm. and not at by. first for. rome is to. ties with. plus a. i here in france and thrust alone because our clothes even jack. but a call and but what we've seen over the is is it is it's not that easy is it. really hungry because. the relationship. is founded on realities off cruel there are very many. . historical ties between from south africa arab anyway very many. people of french citizenship in problems a week african family ties derek emmy french people encourage businesses acted in africa. dirichlet's interest linking grounds to the african

continent. what and? this relationship called just the. it's not one that can be sort of put in the background and ignored it's not like a connection that's very distant. it's an important close relationship but how to. change it to mobilize it and adapt it for today's times. i got a really big difficult challenge. and sitting the code finding the right words to use. is almost as important possibly more important in some respects. open the practical details of individual specific policies on grace or blackrock specks of defend sore. development cooperation more trade a. finding the right tone finding the language that could massively difficult challenge. but it's one that some form of french presidents of nottoway succeeded in so. michael was engaged in a pretty high risk. hywel iraq today you could say an end and do you think it paid off today free of

for example we we just so you know more like heart it moment and that he did also have to tackle and and. and more thorny issue an the was referring back to comments he made in july. how when he said that? african shit african women having seven or eight children was. was problematic and he he was a attacked for that any address that again today dick do you think he's. striking the right balance he's he's clearly trying to appear on this demanded stand but it is not paying off do you think. well not comment he made in july was an example of how it's so easy to get it wrong because. raising the question of high popupulation growth in afria was one thing. but because he then said there was a civilizational question a civilizational aspect to itt. a what he calls o. cool stiller. quite a lot of discomfort fefeeling that people willl being insulted feeding that he'd spoken will only. and today when he spoke he came effectively close to apologising for that because

he said that when he had raised the q question of population growth. . not isa development issue but when it when he used the word civilization. he had made a mistake he had been wrong to do so a he took words back. that he pointed out that to the president to. but president could cabernet all became effective had been right. when know a couple okay had in fact criticized his remarks on not. will not point. but he then returned to the scene of population growth and basically having. in effect apologized his choice of words in july. said however it remains a challenge because of the. development complications look a palace when population growth is high. and his attempt to tackle it today. was by m. addressing women's rights and the rights of goes to be educated to be centrally. he heard her arm. in in in the way he presented the issue today. but.

this wasn't for people to tell africa how many people. come african simoncelli children african family should have. but but be important thing was that for women who go can africa to make choices about their own future. and how many children they wanted and how they should be educated. and so on he paid. very peak emphasis almost killed education and opening up to the kyi school women. but raqqa example of how sensitive position bar and how hard it is to find the right picture. o'malley and testing house thank you very much. was staying african leaving out c. kenya wet who route kenyatta has been sworn in as president for second five year term. he placed and divisions in the country but not far from his swearing in ceremony large crowds gathered to hear the opposition leader rhino dinga and these three people were killed. as the on in the unrest as police fired rifles and take gas to break
