thank you mr minister my name is up. from the arabic daily quotes a lot of mr bass in his speech that simply he stopped short of the cladding the dissolution of the palestinian authority he was so desperate so he started asking where should i go. and i think that's a good question for russia you have an initiative on the tape it to call depart this to moscow to start serious negotiations the palestinians accepted this initiative but the israeli part did you see there is a chance for two state solution there is no let land left in palestine so can brush up get involved seriously and this quagmire thank one more problem for we should russia's response. yeah. well jokes aside we are very much concerned about this dead end we're seeing dead end in the palestinian israeli settlement and we are concerned about this especially because. the fact that the palestinian problem has not been resolved for what seventy years is actively used by extremists to recruit young people recruit new members they claim that the international com

ok mr minister in your speech yesterday you mentioned that you have difficulty with the o.p.c. . chemical weapons in syria they seem to have pointed to both desh and the syrian government. why do you think they're prejudiced and why do you not support whatever they might find. first of all that's what it is let's just take a look at. the nationality of experts working in the fact finding mission in syria set up by he o.p.c. w there are two groups there. in this fact finding mission group one looks complaints coming from the opposition and another group reviews complaints by the government saying that the opposition has used chemical weapons as well and they are both groups are led by. the national soul for western state that takes a biased. anti-government approach do you think it's ok i think it's not a kate's not normal and most experts hired by this commission they all belong to the so-called group syria friend set up by the obama administration and this group only includes those who want to see a regime change now let me give you some specific examples on april fourth there w

thank you very much mr minister's family are far from c.b.s. news you said and ambassador now ben zia. said that you are hoping to save the jews c.p.o. a is the russian federation open to negotiations or talks on sunset clauses missiles or syria either within just a superior way or on a different in a different context thank you. well not only russia sad that it is necessary to see this. program. meaning there. on the settlement of the iran nuclear program that was mentioned by all the european countries who participate in the negotiations the same is said by the majority of the un member countries so this program is already finalized it is indorsed by the un security council resolution and opening up for this plan for negotiations is basically. just a normal sort of. discreet that would be disregarding this agreement there are different kind of concerns coming from many sides and these concerns should be illegal you did so with informants which are so we rolled in for that when there was a whole negotiation process on syria as for the missiles

minister who is substantive and quite hopeful especially when he was on the call. other development. in military assistance i would like to express my gratitude to mr paul minister for that to all the members of the japanese delegation thank you. but of course you. want to be. here you go i. to come here again and again i was able to visit this wonderful superior level her stock i'm grateful to russia for a wonderful and welcome we received at my meeting with president putin committee we talked a lot about north korea is this serious problem that requires. the nuclear test conducted by north korea as a serious threat to peace and stability on the korean peninsula and the region in general this is a serious challenge for the global nonproliferation is so sick and i would share a common vision of the situation and i condemned north korea in the strongest quarter in. launching a. missile and conducting or going to nuclear test if north korea continues to go down this road there will be no knowing future full not to really need to make this clear for north korea russia and japan and. we should continue cooperating needing you need you know security she

regard the simple people but then after the current season bust down of russia channel thank you mr minister here in new york during the debates with the western leaders we hear pragmatism as the key word. talked about. talked about joint work indian and security council for nuclear problems the problem you talk to boris johnson to stalin barrack don't you think that this general assembly is quite a symbolic one over the past three years and the west seems that. when you go that relations are at an all time low and we have to get back to normal situation well i cannot say this is a breakthrough general assembly as for the number of the meetings it's been the same as in the previous years as for the substance of the negotiations i'm also not a lot of changes in the year before and last year when we had bilateral meetings all of the colleagues were saying that this situation is not normal and we have to remedy it maybe you're right maybe it's just more of the issues in a more acute way your solution but for me to hear something. certain words that now west will stop playing these sanctions gam

mr. prime minister, thank you for your time. i know you're very busy, and please make sure the people of your island know they are in our thoughts and prayers. >> many thanks. >>> preparing for their second hurricane there now. here in florida tonight, more than a million people have been ordered to evacuate. we have seen the traffic jams going in one direction out of the storm zone all day here. many gasation stations have run dprie. abc's gio benitez is right here in south florida tonight. >> we started crawling. we're stopped right now. >> reporter: tonight, heavy traffic clogging major florida highways. >> everyone's trying to get to the same place, out. >> reporter: as more than a million floridians are asked to evacuate -- >> i know many of you are stuck in traffic. i know it's frustrating, but please be patient. evacuations are not meant to be convenient. they are meant to keep you safe. >> reporter: officials in key west telling residents that staying behind is irresponsible and dangerous. >> we are running out of time.

i think that that is one one thing that we can say we are very fortunate with mr miss miss miss mr minister echo that you would it wouldn't be tourism because from what we hear and decide the cost of rebuilding barbuda will be one hundred million dollars right and you're already in significant date and so some of us were disturbed that i mean if it's not looking at providing that resources as a as a grant fund as opposed to or even as a reimbursable technical cooperation but we really want to lend it before price so this issue about rules was in the rules if we're talking first about climate change and the issues of small government states do rules are only metrics that are applying to large countries cannot be this is just want out over in the states and i've been seeing that from run time in the world bank in washington we need a new set of metrics that allow yes you might have a hyper capital but a specific issues are small as the woman sees you have to create a new index of a loss to borrow this is greed as poor huntress and i think. and the pill your point was the extra up a little bit

mr. prime minister? >> do you share president trump's hostility towards the venezuelan iwo ji venezuelan's regime and what is your that u.s. military intervention might be required? do you support that and would you be an advocate? >> a proposal to impose sanctions on venezuela for what is happening, it was a democratic country and at this time, is no longer. there are political prisoners of venezuela. people who are in jail only because they think differently than mr. maduro and i was the first to prime minister, the wife of the -- who was jailed because mr. maduro didn't like him. but there were many others who were sent to swral. in venezuela, there was a parliament and a local government has made up this other parliament, which has its meet next to the other parliament and that's legislation. they've created a commission for the truth, which is an antidemocratic tool, which only serves to judge people without respecting minimum human rights standards. venezuela is on the road to the dictatorship, unl

mr. prime minister, do you mr. trump's hostility toward the venezuelan regime and what is your opinion of president trump's suggestion that u.s. military intervention might be needed if the venezuelan government does not change course? do you support that? would you be an advocate inside that you we -- e.u. for tougher sanctions? spanish] ng a proposal to impose ,anctions within venezuelan venezuela traditionally was a democratic country and at this time they are no longer am a credit country. they are prisoners. people are in jail only because they differently than mr. maduro. -- one wasirst to jailed because mr. maduro did not like him. others were sent to jail. and locala parliament government has another parliament which has they have created the commission which only serves to judge minimum human rights standards. then as leila is on the road to is on the roada to a dictatorship. those who share the values of democracy and human rights have to be something. sanctions are important. it is important there be an

mr. maduro. and i was the first to -- prime minister to -- [indiscernible] -- who is the wife who was jailed because mr. maduro didn't like him. but there were many others who were sent to jail. in venezuela, there was a parliament and the government has made up this other parliament, which has its meetings next to the other parliament. [indiscernible] -- they've created a commission for the truth, which is an anti-democratic tool which only serves to judge people without respecting minimum human rights standards. venezuela is on the road to dictatorship. unless that can be stopped. so all of us who share values such as democracy, freedom and human rights have to do something. at this time, sanctions are important. it's important that there be an international coalition putting pressure on maduro so that political prisoners are free and democracy is restored, because this lack of democracy and the attack against human rights and freedoms are coming in conjunction with a terrible economic situation, with the 300% inflation rate, with problems supplying foods and medicines to people. so it's a little

. >> questions to the prime minister. >> mr. speaker, i'm sure the members across the house and those affected by hurricane irma and i would like to to the hospital. board secretary has traveled here to the territories to see the recovery work firsthand and assess what is needed. as i told the house last week, we had a navy ship predispositions in the region and humanitarian experts on the ground coordinating uk response. we met regularly to create the government's response bringing together military, aid and effort and announcing 25 millioe recovery effort further to the 32 million pounds of assistance announced last week. the amount paid over 1000 military personnel to the region with an additional 200 to arrive in the next few days along with those already there. i am sure that members across the house would like to join me in paying tribute to the hard work of the many people, military and slaves, who are doing an incredible job in a different circumstance. mr. speaker, i have meetings with ministerial colleagues in addition

mr. maduro. and i was the first to -- prime minister to -- [inaudible] -- who is the wife who was jailed because mr. maduro didn't like him. but there were many others who were sent to jail. in venezuela, there was a parliament and the government has made up this other parliament, which has its meetings next to the other parliament.

it's nice to talk to the foreign minister beginning when he was ambassador to the nations and continue hearing in fact we talked here in the last two or three weeks. so mr. foreign minister, pleasure to see you again. >> good to be with you and with this distinguished audience here. >> rose: you have witnessed the events at the united nations last week. the president called iran a corrupt kick tatership, -- dictatorship, a rogue nation, said the deal with you was embarrassment. said it had no ambition, unmoved by threats and would be a pity if the iran agreement was destroyed by a rogue newcomer to the world of politics, rouhani said, and would hamper american credibility. so i want to talk about your meeting first with the american secretary of state rex tillerson. what did you talk about? what was the tone and substance of that conversation? >> well, it was a civilized meeting. ( laughter ) i think, after that speech, secretary tillerson set the bar to be very low, just not throwing shoes at each other was -- ( laughter ) so that's -- we certainly achieved that. we didn't throw shoes at each other. everybody in the group -- and it wasn't a bilateral m

mr. rouhani, on his statement. could i ask you to remain seated while his excellency is escorted? >> i have great pleasure in welcoming the prime minister of japan, his excellency, shinzo abe. and i invite him to address the general assembly. mr. abe: [speaking japanese] please listen to channel seven. our determination to reach agreement and a steadfast member -- manner, meeting quality japanment, moreover, what wants to safeguard is the free, liberal, international order and multilateral framework. the world holds high expectations toward the u.n. as the flag holder. the cityxactly why council should be reformed without delay, in response to the demands. japan will strive, together with its friends, to achieve these reforms. i have confronted the state, japan wants to play an active role in world peace as a permanent member of the security council. i have no choice but to focus my remarks on a single issue, north korea. north korea conducted a nuclear test on september 3. whether or not it was a hydrogen bomb test, its scale far preceded that -- exceeded that of previous tests. both before and after that on august 29 in september 15,

the government is opposed to the referendum earlier this week the parliament authorized the prime minister mr party to quotes take all measures to preserve national unity imran khan joins us on the telephone from bill in iraq how significant is this. well it's very significant as you state the body has been given the mandate to try and stop this referendum going ahead has already had a vote in parliament referendum is actually a leak of this kurdish independence referendum is actually real and this is another move to try and put pressure on the. karim is as you say the governor of cookies but a very vocal supporter. independent and this was a direct call from the heart or other body of iraqi prime minister saying that this man should be removed from office so we've had some reaction. before the vote actually took place from a political party saying that the signatures needed to remove him from office. in office despite what the iraqis think this vote will go ahead so it remains to be seen how the government. reacted to all of this but it seems that the kurds are already defined they say that

guy: if we had a eurozone finance minister, angela merkel and mr. ut deepening the eurozone, and there is talk of a eurozone finance minister, i wonder how that would be received in italy. mr. monti: yes. italy has long been supporting monetary,f deeper economic, and fiscal union in europe, and specifically the idea of a treasury minister from europe, which i think was aired several years ago, has always been quite popular in italy, as fiscal the notion of capacity from the eurozone. it would not be from the side of italy that any difficulties would come if that were to be the proposal put out by merkel and macron. guy: do you think the reemergence of the franco german alliance is good for italy? it seems as if they have very clear views of where they want to go, and italy is in a different place economically now. poverty has tripled over the last three years to 8%, unemployment remains unchanged at 11%. if we compare italy and france from a real economy less of view, italy is advanced than france, and you mentioned some of the data. from a financial

mr. maduro. i was the first, prime minister to, who is the wife of the lopez, who was jailed because mr. maduro didn't like him but there were many others who were sent to jail in venezuela. there was a parliament and the government has made up this other parliament which has meeting next to the other parliament and enacts legislation. they have created a commission for the trying which is anti-democratic tool which only serves to judge people without respecting minimum human rights standards. venezuela is on the road to dictatorship, unless that can be stopped. so, all of those who shared values such as democracy, freedom, human rights, have to do something at this time. sanctions are important. it is important that there be international coalition putting pressure on maduro so that political prisoners are freed and democracy is restored. because this lack of democracy and the attack against human rights and freedoms are coming in conjunction with terrible economic situation with the 300% inflation rate, with problems supplying food and medicines to people. so it's a really tragic situa

here to discuss, someone who has been there, former british prime minister tony blair. mr. or being with us. >> thank you. >> president trump has been to europe, spoken to european leaders, but this is his first time at the united nations. his previous speech he was sort of greeted with side eye, curiosity, maybe some scorn in some places. what does the president need to say this week? >> i think it's quite an important moment because this is the first time the world as a whole will be looking at the american president, hearing him, and i think there needs to be clarity, consistency in the american approach, and people want always the same thing from america and from its president. they want to know that america's strong enough to stand with its allies and to stand up to its enemies. and therefore, i think what people will be looking for today, tomorrow when the president speaks, is an idea of what are the principles that are going to guide american policy, and is there clarity and consistency around those. >> is there -- are there those things right now? is that lacking? >>

just moments ago i spoke with the prime minister of barbuda. mr. prime minister, if you could describe the scene you saw over barbuda today? >> it was heart wrenching. absolutely devastating. i have never seen such destruction on such a basis compared to what i saw in barbuda today. 95% of the structures were damaged, the hospital, the schools. it is absolutely heartwrenching. >> you said 95% of the structure are damaged. how many of those are completely destroyed? >> in my estimation, probably about 20%, 30% of the properties were totally demolished. and let me adhed also, the airpt is totally damaged. the only way to access is by helicopters. we have a system in which the communication system was totally destroyed so for example we're seeing cell towers broken in two. >> so is the island cut off? >> well, it was, that is why it took so long, because we couldn't get any phone communication. they had a hand system there which was destroyed. they even had a few satellite phones and apparently they got damaged during the storm. so they had absolutely

minister. how are you, mr. prime minister? talk about the trump campaign chairman that's working to break off a third of your country. the trump campaign chairman working against u.s. interests for money is a new and increasingly present idea in terms of how we understand our world in the trump era. here is one very small weird thing about this new news about him working to break up iraq. this is from "the new york times" story. quote, mr. manafort himself may return to the region for the coming vote. say paul manafort is working with the cukurds to break up ir. he's going to go there for the vote? he's flying there now? [ laughter ] >> does he have a return ticket? given all the heat that paul manafort is under from the special counsel and with the trump administration going out of it way to distance itself from them and trying to blame him, it looks like he's leaving the country or maybe he already has for the kurdish referendum happening on monday that he is supporting against the foreign policy of the united states. we rea

mr. president. [applause] thank the minister of foreign affairs -- >> we just heard from north korea's foreign minister at the u.n. general assembly in new york city. he spoke about the country's nuclear program and its relations with the united states. the pentagon says it has flown a mission over the waters of north korea -- the defense department spokeswoman said the mission shows how seriously the u.s. takes north korea's reckless behavior. we are prepared to use the full range of military keep abilities to defend the u.s. homeland and our allies. lawmakers held a confirmation ambassador the u.s. to russia. he answered questions before the u.s. senate foreign relations committee. this hearing is about one hour.

minister. mrstudents in oursystem and the value of international students in our system and that's why we've re ce ntly in our system and that's why we've recently asked the migration advisory committee to review in full the contribution they make to our university system. for yea rs university system. for years the prime minister told us we need to clamp down on international students overstaying their visas, using figures suggesting over 100,000 people remain in the uk legally but in fact we know that the figure is now a600 stu d e nts we know that the figure is now a600 students stopping the government we re students stopping the government were out by 95%. so please can i ask the minister today, does he fully support the prime minister's desire to keep international students in the net migration target?|j to keep international students in the net migration target? i was pleased to see the home office report on exit checks data published on the 24th of august showing students were largely compl

minister. jeremy corbyn declares labour are on the threshold of power. in his closing speech at the party's conference in brighton later, mrll themselves together or make way for labour. also this morning: good morning, it's wednesday the 27th of september. also this morning: fears for thousands of jobs in northern ireland as the aerospace firm bombardier loses a major trade dispute in the us. a new blood test for heart attacks. doctors say it could free up hospital beds and save the nhs millions of pounds each year.

just before the air, i spoke with the prime minister of antigua and barbuda. mr. prime minister, if you could describe the scene you saw over barbuda today. >> it was heart wrenching. absolutely devastating. i have never seen any such destruction compared to what i saw in barbuda this afternoon. 95% of the properties in barbuda were damaged. the infrastructure was damaged, all of the institutions, the hospital, the schools. it is absolutely heart wrenching. >> you said 95% of the structures are damaged. how many of those are completely destroyed? >> in my estimation, probably about 20%, 30% of the properties were totally demolished. and even the airport was damaged, so it cannot accommodate any flights. so the only way to access now is by helicopter. we have a situation in which the telecommunications system was totally destroyed. so for example, we have seen cell towers broken in two. >> so is the island right now cut off? >> well, it was. and that is why it took so long, because we could not have gotten any phone communication. they had a system there -- a h.a.m.

in november of this year unless it is prolonged now heading into this meeting with the interior ministers mr after a more police seem determined that there was no chance that they would be prolonged during the last two years we should be working in crisis mode. now this is the moment to step out of the crises or i believe is the moment to to go back to the not among function of washington. but he was singing every different tune when he came out of that meeting the new security challenges have appeared at the during the last. the past serious as the most. recent attacks in barcelona and. the sinking boat the school may not be sufficiently adapted to address the evolving security challenges. it does seem that the interior minister has told the commission exactly what they thought of plans to repeal it or to not prolong that the border checks and if we look at the security threats that we face will we just customise like the last month in barcelona a terrorist attack of course. in london on friday those threats are ever present or indeed over the past number of years europe has seen a whole ra

the right direction but only because the current government of italy and particularly the minister of interior mr media and the prime minister ginty lonny are doing what we used to say even as any and single we have to have before they reach the taliban schwartz not after these wasn't a serious mistake doing nothing until they reach sicily when they reached the silly yacht in italy they are in europe now they are working on the all region countries on the transit countries by promoting and prescreening of aspiring migrants and refugees to understand who are entitled to reach europe and who are not these is the right policy but unfortunately the toll ears and ears for the a few are mission of despair is simple principle these are in european problem disease not if the sealy empire or any. difficult for a united european union then given the behavior of germany in other countries towards italy during this this horrific refugee crisis. well i think germany realize deep a dramatic impact of refugees krises only when they sold the squares of munich and the squares of v.m. full of migrants leaping into

the mayor of london has called for greater clarity from the prime minister. mrse to set out her plans in the city of florence, our political editor laura keunssberg sent this report. waiting, waiting, and waiting. it's months since the prime minister gave anything away on brexit. and if you are in a hurry to disentangle completely, you might just have to wait some more. she came to florence to confirm that for as long as two years after we are technically out, not that much might change. a period of implementation would be in our mutual interest. that is why i am proposing there should be such a period after the uk leaves the eu. clearly, people, businesses and public services should only have to plan for one set of changes in the relationship between the uk and the eu. so during the implementation period, access to one another‘s markets should continue on current terms. and during that time, we will keep paying billions into the eu budget but the transition will not be longer than two years, under a so—called double lock. at the heart of these arrangements there

mr. speaker but we don't have their fair share of the infrastructure will the prime minister significantlyly increase the infrastructure and york shier in particular to get the eve -- to get the aid to the east? [applause] [laughter] >> that is an important point if he does a raise the concern of his constituents to make sure that it gets a the infrastructure that itit needs that since friday kerry of the biggest investment of transport in the region for generations.yingo that is the largest in invernment history. so we do want to see this improvement being supported that is why we have and 781 million pounds for the york shirer transport funds to deliver. >> also share the of sympathy with all those affected by hurricane irma. i hope the prime minister is prepared to look carefully at the speed of our response and future demands are made for any country affected by that we can respond as generously as we can duringil this most catastrophic time of their lives. mr. speaker putting disabled people in britain is described united nations as a human catastrophe. does the prime minister think it
