the president now is confronting two different countries both of them that have nuclear weapons james bays at the u.n. james that said thank you for now well in the last hour we heard a lot of other speeches including turkey's present threat a paper the one he gave his address to the u.n. general assembly he was critical of kurdistan's independence vote saying it could spark new conflicts in the region if it does go ahead. but. steps such as demands for independence that can cause new crises and conflicts in the region must be every bit. we here call on the iraqi kurdish regional government to abort the initiative that they have launched in that direction ignoring the clear undetermined songs of turkey in this matter may lead to a process that shall deprive the iraqi kurdish regional government even the opportunities they currently enjoy we all should work on building tranquility peace security and stability in the region instead of sparking new conflicts. such a type one speaking there back tomorrow one bashar i mean he spoke just before at benjamin netanyahu what did you make of his spee

reform i believe we have standing by live our diplomatic editor james bays so james what specific proposals should we expect from donald trump when it comes to reform . well i think we need to know the detail and the exact words of the u.s. president as you can see there just got out of his limousine greeting his ambassador nikki haley now behind the scenes the u.n. and nikki haley have been working quite closely together to try and coordinate this i wouldn't say that the u.n. secretary is entirely happy with some of the things that the u.s. are proposing because the u.s. want to cut the budget and of course the u.n. want as much money as possible to continue their work but i think there's certain you know much better place than they were the beginning of the year he's been shouting the question let's just listen. hard to hear what he's going to say i do know that one of our producers in art is down there shouting questions you told me she was going to ask him are you going to shake up the u.n. well here he said he said something. you know that answer in a moment of what he'll do now sammy

ok thank you for now diplomatic editor and james bays and i'm also joined in the studio by our senior political analyst. and so just before we came off president mahmoud abbas he called for an end to the occupation but he he wants to see it within a set time frame and as james is saying a lot of frustration but is he likely to get any of what he's calling for actually frustration is. bit of an understatement here today this is. the peace process manned by excellence have led the peace process for the last one to five years he basically staked his entire career on the peace process and basically the peace process has failed him and has failed the palestinian people so this was a somber speech war during on desperate and that contrasts in a huge way with prime minister netanyahu of israel yesterday speech that was triumphant and bombastic and i think in this case from mahmoud abbas just as we've heard earlier from the iranian president rouhani there's a sense that goes as follows look we have abided by u.n. security council resolutions we abide by international law and if the other part

ok let's talk now to my colleague our diplomatic editor james bays who is tracking mr trump as he gets ready for that keynote speech at the u.n. eight months tomorrow james since he became u.s. president his first gig at the united nations where is he setting his sights. people are watching things very closely to see exactly what the president has to say worth telling you in about two hours from now we're expecting pretty heavy rain as the end of hurrican jose comes past new york i think diplomats are more concerned about the possible hurrican that could be coming in the shape of the u.s. president i think people were pleased by the speech about u.n. reform and the fact that it wasn't about slashing the u.n. budget in the way people had feared but this is the more substantial speech this is the formal address to the general assembly this is the speech that normally lasts forty fifty minutes of the u.s. president he does a state of the union each year this is the state of the world are seen by the u.s. presidents so probably the one of the most important speeches that president trump ha

soon so it will be interesting to get your opinion of what they are going to say for the moment james bays of the u.n. james thank you. and as jamie james mentioned we are going to speak now is a way in hell years in seoul in south korea and joins us now so i guess i'm going to put that question to you now a way in the resolution passed the unanimous lee but sometimes it seemed that these resolutions just kind of make things worse it's almost like the tension is ratcheting up so what do people in south korea do you think almost expect from north korea right now. yes well i think james is exactly right we've seen certainly things change under the current north korean leader kim jong un in that he seems to be absolutely determined regardless of what is going on outside of north korea to continue his pursuit to become a nuclear weapons country and to continue with his missile testing program regardless of what is going on in the united states having said that they have always said that they will keep a very close eye on how the united states in particular behaves and what it says what it does

our diplomatic editor james bays of course has been following everything at united nations headquarters in new york how would you describe james this speech by the north korean foreign minister. it was a blistering attack on president trump and he has picked up i think president trump's style of language those nicknames see uses in grief lie in the king and president evil he's using those to taunt the president in the same way as president trump was taunting kim as something that he said was an insult to the supreme dignity of my country what happens now is the foreign minister has actually left the podium obviously finishing his speech and left the general stanley in our understanding is he's gone straight up to the thirty eighth floor of the united nations building and that's where the offices of the certainly general are and he's meeting with antonio. so that is an important meeting can the secretary general discuss with him channel of mediation after this very very tough speech that we just heard and on both sides you have colorful larger than life characters james and then when you

our diplomatic editor james bays at the united nations headquarters in new york and joins us live now i mean i suppose you're always going to hear a decisive response from the iranian president of transport yesterday but he also attempted to do it in a somewhat measured way. yes i think he was deliberately trying to contrast himself with that speech from president trump because the speech from president trump was not just about iran it threaten to. another member states of the united nations if they didn't back down on their nuclear program north korea as you say he said that was ignorant absurd and hateful rhetoric which wasn't fit to be heard in the general assembly of the united nations and the words he mentioned despite getting those attacks on donald trump in there the world he mentioned repeatedly in his speech was moderation i think he's trying to show the other nations that he is the moderate one and donald trump is the one with the radical views it's interesting that this time around the iranians really getting to speak after those that normally attack iran the u.s. always sp

north korea and the instant replies on twitter from president trump that seems a little unlikely james bays out zero at the united nations or the u.s. government says it's not seeking to overthrow north korea it also rejected pyongyang is characterization of president trump's tweet as a declaration of war. we've not declared war on north korea and frankly the suggestion of that is absurd and it's never appropriate for a country to shoot down another country's aircraft when it's over international waters our goal is still the same we continue to seek the peaceful deep nuclearization of the korean peninsula that's our focus doing that through both the most maximum economic and diplomatic pressure is possible at this point on kathy novak is joining us live from seoul coffee every time you and i talk about this on the air we always have to preface it with the with the phrase ramping up the rhetoric but now it's reaching a new level how's it being responded to in the region there while here in south korea the government tries to stay away from that kind of language that we've heard being exchang

north korea and the instant replies on twitter from president trump that seems a little unlikely james bays out zero at the united nations the u.s. government says it's not seeking to overthrow the north korean government it's also rejecting pyongyang's characterization of president trump's tweet as a declaration of war. we've not declared war on north korea and frankly the suggestion of that is absurd it's never appropriate for a country to shoot down another country's aircraft when it's over international waters our goal is still the same we continue to seek the peaceful the nuclearization of the korean peninsula that's our focus doing that through both the most maximum economic and diplomatic pressures as possible at this point. now iraq is refusing to hold talks with the kurdish regional government about the results of monday's controversial secession referendum the iraqi prime minister called the vote unconstitutional during a televised address the polls closed. hundreds of kurds took to the streets to celebrate the end of voting nevertheless paul is expected to produce our comfortable

i do want to look at another issue which is dominating this general assembly will do that with james bays who's now live outside the u.n. in new york james the issue of the ranger an acute issue during the course of this general assembly. yes one of the ongoing crises over there taking place and while there's general assembly is taking place the situation in myanmar we have the speech for months on sujit that took place obviously she's not here. took place early on choose let's discuss the situation with regard to. across the border in bangladesh my guest is peter marra he's the president of the international committee of the red cross and red crescent were the most important humanitarian organizations in the world give us an update what's the latest from the myanmar and in bangor that well we are of course concerned by the humanitarian impact on so many people that the violence has had i know that here in new york at the general assembly the debate is about to reason off the violence but we are first and foremost concerned about hundreds of thousands who have been exposed to violence thr

general assembly our diplomatic editor james bay is live for us in the united nations in new york james thank you very much indeed japanese chief cabinet secretary. made these comments in the news briefing shortly after the missile test . we cannot accept this excessive provocation repeated by north korea and resolutely denounce it in the strongest possible words and also convey our people strong resentment the japanese government will respond to the situation with the u.s. south korea and other related countries including the u.n. security council and will monitor the situation in order to protect and ensure people safety. ok our china correspondent adrian brown is in beijing as james was just talking about there the u.n. security council planning more meetings to discuss this one would guess that china is going to be under a lot of pressure at those meetings. yes and i think you could possibly see some of that pressure actually in washington because a senior chinese minister a state councilor wang teacher is currently in washington he's china's top diplomat and he's been meeting the u

democratic senator james bays is at the national headquarters in new york and joins us live so james have significant are these sanctions. it seems very significant but i have to add this he's signed an executive order and all we really know about the executive order is what you just heard him say because at this stage the white house haven't released the executive order and this is going to be a complex document with sort of legal and economic ramifications so we need to see it and we need to see the detail of it i think the last thing he said when he was speaking with the japanese prime minister and the president of south korea is interesting it sounds like there has been some coordination that with china of china is now getting its central bank to tell all its other banks not to trade with north korea remember the china being a neighbor of north korea is the most significant trading partner i don't think china anymore would describe itself as an ally of north korea but it certainly has more interaction interaction with north korea than any other country so there are a lot of chine

our diplomatic editor james bays is at the united nations headquarters in new york and joins us live so it's you know a concerted efforts are being pushed ahead there with the north to the south koreans the japanese and the u.s. all sitting together well or say exactly what it was announced. yes it certainly some coordination has taken place it's not clear what sort of coordination particularly and most importantly with china because china is the biggest trading partner of north korea a neighbor of north korea and you heard president trump make that announcement about the chinese central bank telling all the banks that it governs not to do business with north korea was that something that they agreed to do happily or rather reluctantly i think will need to watch very closely the comments coming from beijing on the sort of coordination that took place here remember ten days ago they passed the latest u.n. the international sanctions and they were somewhat watered down because they couldn't get their original draft the original draft by the u.s. through russia and china including a com

to make it stronger and more effective our diplomatic editor james bays reports out from new york diplomats were wary about this trumps first trip to the united nations as president. trump has railed against the u.n. many times in the past suggesting it's inefficient and bloated at times this transactional america first president that seemed to question the entire international system the sexist and since the u.n. was set up at the end of world war two ahead of the meeting there was some unease about what this unpredictable president might say but he only seemed concerned about how the microphones worked this race with its own result. when trump finally spoke there would have been a big sigh of relief felt across the united nations he now seems to be a fan of the organization. mr secretary general the united states and the member states president to support. this great reform vision we pledge to be partners in your work and i am confident that if we work together and champion truly bold reforms the united nations will emerge as a stronger more effective more just and greater force for peace

general assembly shortly no doubt he will be making a response to that right now we'll check in with james bays is covering events from outside the u.n. today what do you think james about responses seem so much at this general assembly is going to be about how people respond to donald trump. absolutely and i think the response of rouhani is going to be very interesting indeed and we are i think going to get it in the next few minutes whether it's the next speech of whether we're going to have president poroshenko of ukraine and then president rouhani we already know the president rouhani speaking before president trump has made warnings about the u.s. pulling out of iran deal he's given various interviews saying the u.s. will pay a very high price iran has a number of different options and it will act very swiftly to show the world its reaction if donald trump decides to pull out of that nuclear deal president trump we're told has. his decision it's worth explaining how we get these bits of information from president trump this isn't on twitter which is one of his main means of communication b

and speak to al-jazeera is james bays and james in the past few minutes we also heard from the u.k. ambassador to the u.n. and they believe the french one is well i mean any surprises in what they said because obviously these countries are key allies of the u.s. in this. yes you'd expect a. all the e.u. nations are currently for of course the u.k. won't be in a united nation for much longer but for on the security council very strongly supporting the u.s. position interestingly now you've got speaking to the security council the taliban ambassador carty now he's interesting because he heads the committee of the security council that looks at the implementation of the existing sanctions and whether they are being properly implemented by all the member states of the united nations let's have a listen in to ambassador carley freezingly reckless me sidelong trends we were firm trunk on the nation of this irresponsible acts. all of these actions taken together reveal a cycle of unprecedented deliberate and escalade torrie provocations by north korea directed against the international com

analysis and reaction from here in the studio but first let's go over to our diplomatic editor james bays he joins us now from the united nations james every year there is a main theme a lot of people are saying that this is it is donald trump. well i think it's donald trump certainly because this is his first outing on the world stage but in terms of the items we're going to be listening to him his speech and in many other speeches i think the issue of most importance it's a very dangerous world but is north korea clearly there are other issues that we need to look at like syria like libya like yemen like the israelis and the palestinians the iran nuclear deal all of these issues will be mentioned i think by the u.s. president and many others of those speaking but north korea is the thing that is looming over this the seventy second general assembly you can see the hall there and you can see the man who's speaking right now that is the president of the general assembly miroslav check he will be calling the meeting to order starting the proceedings here at the general assembly waiting for

escape to neighboring bangladesh since violence broke out in late august i didn't want to get to james bays as the latest from the un. these were the toughest words yet from the secretary general on the ongoing violence in myanmar i call on the myanmar or thought it is to suspend the military action and the violence appalled the rule of law and recognize the right of return of all those where to leave the country the un knows the situation is deteriorating fast with mr good terrorists last spoke to reporters a week ago there were one hundred twenty five thousand rohingya refugees that number has now triple given the situation has got so much worse in the last week do you believe this is ethnic cleansing well i would answer your question with another question when one third of the growing or population to flee the country can you find a better word to describe it. as the secretary general has already taken the extremely rare step of writing to the security council urging them to take action as he spoke the council was meeting first with an open session on somalia it was only after that ended

always a problem i mean i just pause for a second so i'll come back to you in a moment i've got james bays also with us who is reporting from u.n. headquarters today actually do you know james would you mind recounting exactly how you and the rest of the team reacted when that speech came down because this seems to be a moment for us all as we heard this speech. we are all people who listen to speeches by international is very regularly and there's a group of us about six of us here and all the gasp when you heard those comments about north korea you have never heard a u.s. president say that in the general assembly threatening to totally destroy another country i don't think you've heard any other leader despite seventy two years of sometimes very controversial bombastic speeches it is certainly a very strong language that's how his own ambassador to the u.n. a short time ago nikki haley described it when she was leaving the general assembly and was asked some questions by reporters and i think many observers will be working at this and wondering what happens next because it doesn't look

about if as expected president from pays an official visit to china in november diplomatic editor james bays is at the u.n. with north korea's ambassador is due to speak at the general general assembly later on i should imagine that it's going to be a full house james. yeah everyone is watching very closely is actually the foreign minister who is going to be speaking here a young has been in new york for all of this week in fact he's already denounced to reporters the comments from president trump in his speech saying it was the barking of a dog he's staying in a hotel that's closest to the u.n. headquarters he's already reporters there large numbers outside the hotel watched him leave there some time ago and he's already inside u.n. headquarters not clear who he's meeting at this stage but he is expected to speak in the coming hours in the general assembly a warning for me because i've heard him speak before and i've heard the north korean ambassador speak before these speeches can sometimes be somewhat opaque that's because north korea really the word of one man only matters and that is ki

leadership quote won't be around much longer unquote if it continues its rhetoric diplomatic editor james bays has more. as he left his hotel heading out of new york north korea's foreign minister really young ho addressed reporters with a statement that further ramps up the tension with the u.s. . last weekend trump claiming that our leadership wouldn't be around much longer and hence at last he declared a war no country or do you like the more that given the fact that this comes from someone who is currently holding the seat of the united states presidency this is clearly a declaration of war his latest comments go further than his address to the u.n. general assembly two days earlier he was clearly responding to president trump's tweet after that speech in which he referred to little rocket man and warned they may not be around much longer he also referred to u.s. show of force which took place just before he spoke on saturday u.s. fighter jets and b. one bombers flying close to north korea's eastern coast but still over international waters can be will be years when. since the u.s. declare

korea's nuclear test site it's not believed to have been another weapons test diplomatic editor james bays has the latest from the united nations democratic people's republic of korea this was the podium with. president trump threatening to totally destroy north korea now it was time for the country's top diplomat to give his blistering reply. due to his lack of basic common knowledge and proper sentiment he tried to insult the supreme dignity of my country by referring to it as a rocket by doing so however he committed an irreversible mistake of making our rockets visit to the entire us mainland inevitable all the more none other than trump himself is on a suicide mission this clearly rankled the north koreans rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself the foreign minister kamal quipped with nicknames of his own. u.s.g.a. mara online the person who is just even by american says commander in grief lion king president evil is holding the seat of the us presidency and the dangerous reality that the gambler who grew old using threats frauds and all other schemes to acquire a patch of land

stay across everything that's happening james bay is in new york thank you want to move on now to some news from mexico because rescue teams are continuing their search for survivors following that devastating magnitude seven point one earthquake but hope is. fading because it's been three days since the quake struck killing two hundred seventy three people a toll that officials say will probably rise mexico's president says he believes that there could be. people still alive in ten collapsed buildings in the capital the fate of a person trapped in the rubble of a school has already captured the attention of the country rescuers know that they're still alive and of managed to get water and oxygen to them through a queue but they can't figure out a suitable rescue plan without risking collapse or let's go to heidi jo castro in mexico city she joins us live now and has there been any progress on sort of formulating an overall plan to help people who might still be trapped under the rubble. right so at this school maryam there was actually some confusion everyone here thought that there w

adrian brown is in dandong china's border with north korea first let's go to our diplomatic editor james bays the united nations james the u.s. ambassador nikki haley was speaking after the unanimous vote earlier on and she said the security council had been there before with sanctions but this time it was different in what way is it different this time james. well certainly there are tighter sanctions they certainly have increased sanctions for example on north korea's textile exports they've increased sanctions on the oil that north korea can buy but it's nothing as tough as the original version of this resolution that they tried to get through they do negotiations behind the scene over the last week and it was clear that russia and china were not going to have the tougher version of this resolution and so they have watered it down because in the end the u.s. decided it was worth getting some extra sanctions and it certainly wasn't worth getting a division among the u.n. security council because one of the few things they've got going for them in a very difficult situation is international

brown's in dandong that china's border with north korea but first let's go to our diplomatic editor james bays of the united nations james as we were hearing there of course is a unanimous vote but still a lot of ground separating the u.s. view of how these sanctions and china and russia's view as well very keen that there should still be some negotiation. yeah the u.s. ambassador nikki haley got what she wanted a unanimous vote but she had to weaken her resolution in order to get the u.s. had an original draft of this resolution which had tougher language tougher measures in it and they knew in the end that they're not going to get it passed the chinese and the russians and even though they supported this resolution china and russia made it very clear that they don't believe that everything is being done that should be done yes there's some tougher sanctions now but both countries and they're pretty much on the same page here believe there are other things that have to happen some that the trumpet ministration won't like removing that fired missile defense system stopping any military exercis

for global good well that's our guest in a moment but first let's hear from our washington editor james bays at u.n. headquarters in a development of every year when world leaders gather in new york in september they listen carefully to the words of the most powerful person on earth but for the first time since the u.n. was created at the end of the second world war the u.s. president who addressed them from this podium is someone who at times has appeared to question the multilateral order the united nations represents. diplomats are wary of what president trump will say in his nine months in office he's already attended nato g. seven and g. twenty summits on the global stage he's appeared at times uncertain his actions unpredictable donald trump does not perform well a big international summits when he attended a nato summit he actually managed to physically push another leader out of the way and his advisors must hope that he will be back here because this is his last chance to really convince other world leaders that he is someone they can do business with and not just nativist who wants
