u.n. sanction, the two rounds of u.n. sanctions and congress the united states acting independently. how much more pressure would the legislation being propoeds or u.s. independent additional action on secondary sanctions how much of difference would that make above and beyond the most recent round of u.n. sanctions. u.n. sanctions are each one is ink incrementally better than the last. but the u.s. anxiouses are critical. it's ones that we can do ourselves. they're enforcing u.s. law. why should anyone be against enforcing our law to the full degree? these, the legislation as well as the oversight through which congress can hold the executive branch's feet to the fire to try to push them to fully enforce the laws that are either on the books or could be on the books, the three main actions the obama administration did last year were really because they were pressure d by the north korea sanctions and policy enhancement act. >> i think the difference here is the things you mentioned, but also an issue of lax enforcement. enforcement is very, very rit c critical. the panel points to la

sanctions on north korea. we will hearinutes more on those actions. u.n. ambassador nikki haley will be holding everything in new york. you can see your comments live at 4:30 eastern, here on c-span. president trump is in new york meeting world leaders who were attending the u.n. general assembly meeting he was joined by south korea's president and japan's prime minister at a luncheon. here is a look. president trump: thank you, very much. today i am announcing a new executive order, just signed, that significantly expands our authority to target individuals, companies, financial institutions that finance and facilitate trade with north korea. address toed at my the united nations general north korea's nuclear weapons and missile development is a grave threat to peace and security in our world, and it is an acceptable that others financially support this criminal, rogue regime. the brutal north korean regime does not respect its own citizens, or the sovereignty of other nations. order will cutve off sources of revenue that fund north korea's efforts to dev

u.n. sanctions. we make clear to them we are not going to negotiate away our law enforcement so we have had better u.n. resolutions. could you elaborate what you mentioned in your testimony. and assist our efforts. >> sure. thank you for the question. in my written testimony i outlined a couple of testimonies would be a good opportunity for congress to take action in increasing data sharing among financial institutions, so pursuit to the u.s. a. patriot act instructing the administration to offer some new guidance and adaptation in order to facilitate more information within u.s. jurisdiction that would translate to their -- >> if you don't mind me, could it be done protecting privacies while enhancing our capabilities? >> i believe it's absolutely feasible. to believe it's not a walk in the park there's a lot of civil liberties here. if we can pioneer this as has been successfully done for the sharing of information then it can and should be done as well. >> thank you. my time is expired. >> gentlema

u.n. security council resolution and the sanctions the latest sanctions imposed by the u.n. security council a result of the he made a serious attempts to isolate and suffocate a country or a blatant violation of a sovereign see that's why we totally reject and condemn these sanctions. now at this point it's important to know that there is anger coming from north korea despite the fact that this resolution is somewhat watered down than the want to original be circulated by the united states the draft first circulated by the usa included a full oil and natural gas embargo against north korea that would have essentially prevented this isolated country from purchasing any oil or natural gas on the international markets furthermore the original draft circulated by the united states specifically imposed a travel ban and froze the sanctions against north korea's leader kim jong un now that section was just completely removed now the resolution that was passed was much more mild than the one that was proposed by the united states and it's interesting to note that we've heard an inte

u.n. sanctions claiming the resolution was fabricated by the u.s. employing all sorts of despicable and vicious means and methods young also promised to redouble efforts to increase its strength to safeguard the country's sovereignty its own basket or to the u.n. is threatening consequences for the u.s. the first coming. by. will make it to us so to create pain is experienced in its history kathy novak is joining us now live from seoul and kathy north korea's initial response seems to be directed towards the u.s. but how is it being interpreted to war over the southern border in south korea. well the language coming out of north korea is similar to what we have heard from north korea before in fact even before the u.n. vote the foreign ministry in north korea had released a statement threatening the united states it's now saying that the sanctions are a heinous provocation and as you say that it will redouble its efforts to increase its strength and that the sanctions serve to view verify that the road north korea chose to go down is the correct one

u.n. sanctions and is threatening and full consequences for the u.s. the measures are aimed at reigning in pyongyang's nuclear program donald trump is warning of stronger action in the future. fifty five people are now confirmed dead in the united states on the caribbean from hurricane it's now we can to a tropical depression and continues to cause havoc with torrential rain and flooding in the united states. and a meeting of the arab league in cairo has descended into a shouting match as ministers from qatar in the four states blockade in the gulf nation traded insults u.a.e. saudi arabia backplane and egypt all cut diplomatic ties with cats are one hundred days ago. just about the top story now there's new u.n. sanctions on north korea you know that joins us on the south korean capital seoul kathy so yet more defiant language coming out of north korea today. yes we're hearing from the north korean foreign ministry who released a statement saying that the sanctions were a heinous provocation that serve to only prove to north korea that it is going dow

u.n. sanctions are only a very small step towards dealing with pyongyang's nuclear program. we had a vote yesterday on sanctions we think it's just another very small step. not a big deal rex and i were just discussing the big i don't know if it has any impact but certainly it was nice to get a fifteen to nothing vote but those sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen. you know that joins us now from the south korean capital seoul cathy so yet more defiant language out of north korea today yes in the statement from the foreign ministry calling the sanctions a heinous provocation the sanctions of course are designed as a punishment for north korea's latest and most powerful nuclear test and also designed to try to deprive north korea of some of the hard currency it gets from its exports to try to force it back to the negotiating table but instead the foreign ministry is saying that it will redouble its efforts to continue developing missiles and nuclear technology and for its part south korea's unification ministry says that it is going to wait an

u.n. sanctions threaten toll cut north korea's oil supply by nearly a third, which could spike prices for everything from taxis to energy, a ban on textile exports, and the end of foreign labor contracts could further slash the income of this

u.n. sanctions, the two rounds of u.n. sanctions and congress and the administration and the united states acting independently, how much more pressure would the legislation being proposed or u.s. independent additional action on secondary sanctions, how much of a difference would that a make above and beyond the most recent round of u.n. sanctions? >> right. as i've said, the u.n. sanctions are -- each one is incrementally better than the last. we can be cynical or positive about moving the ball a few yards down the field. but the u.s. actions, i think, are critical. it's ones we can do ourselves. we don't need permission by china. and to be honest, i don't see why we're having a debate about whether we should be implementing secondary sanctions. they're enforcing u.s. law, why should anyone be existence enforcing our -- against enforcing our law to the full degree? so this legislation as well as the oversight through which congress can hold the executive branch's feet to the fire to try to push them to fully enforce the l

sanctions against chinese banks. they might have a veto in the u.n. but not over u.s. sanctions. >> i agree. mr. klingner, barring a threat to their survival, kim will never come to the negotiating table in good faith, i believe. we must change his financial calculus i discussed why comprehensive secondary sanctions are so critical. i appreciated your statement on increasing inspection and intradiction of northian shipping. would you support mandatory sanctions on ports that don't implement required inspections? i agree we must pay much more attention to this. >> agree. that's something congress is looking at if a port does not carry out the sanctions they cannot come there for six months or so and we're looking at it. one thing we're hampered by in the u.n. resolutions, all have been passed with chapter 7 article 41 authority where we're not allowed to board a ship on the high seas, even if it's suspected of carrying nuclear missi missile contraband. we've been advocating 42 -- >> doesn't the recent package allow us to board now, and others on high seas, in terms of me

u.n. sanctions and other kind of punitive measures on north korea now look you had president trump will visit beijing in november of course currently there appears to be warmer ties between us and china but could anything be derived now from between now and that briefly if you can. the calendar is full of big events between now and then china will have its communist party congress and north korea will be celebrating the foundation of its ruling party and south korean officials just said this week that they expect more provocative actions between from north korea around mid october so the question will be if tensions do arise if the u.s. and china will seize on that urgency to cooperate more cohesively and to make a more united front or if the more tense situation leads them to break apart in some way and have some differences on the best way to move forward so we'll have to stay tuned over the next couple weeks and see how things develop with a full calendar we'll certainly be watching that closely steven burrill a console thank you. to sports now or bundesliga league leaders dortmund travel

u.n. sanctions against north korea and seem increasingly willing to cut those ties of over its nuclear weapons program but how much further can washington push beijing to exert power on north korea to answer that it's important to distinguish between economic and political power china has a lot of economic power with christie said given that north korea's only active land borders with china and so much of its trade depends on interaction with china but that being said. north korea is still a sovereign country and when it comes to what policies they want to carry out and if they choose to pursue nuclear weapons or missiles there's not much that china can do to change that so. is it will be able to assess the extent to which the two sides are able to cooperate and just how much the u.s. is able to get china on board with carrying out u.n. sanctions and other kind of punitive measures on north korea now looking ahead president trump will visit beijing in november of course currently there appears to be warmer ties between u.s. and china but could anything be derived now from between now and that

u.n. sanctions and is threatening painful consequences for the u.s. the measures aimed at reigning in pyongyang's nuclear program include restrictions on fuel supplies and a ban on textile exports president donald trump is warning of stronger action in the future fifty five people now confirmed dead in the united states and across the caribbean from hurricane. there are fears the death toll could rise further it's now we can to a tropical depression continues to cause havoc with torrential rain and flooding in the united states french president emanuel surveying the damage on st maarten eleven people died on the caribbean island which is split between the netherlands and france. promising to do security as people rebuild. the priority and what we're focusing all our efforts on is returning the island to normal life or as normal as possible in terms of public order we have massively deployed police military police and soldiers which will come from this region and from france and from ghana this will boost the number of security and military personnel b

u.n. security council as an instrument to isolate. the latest sanctions imposed by the u.n. security council a result of the he miss u.s. attempts to isolate and suffocate our country they are a blatant violation of our sovereignty that's why we totally reject and condemn these sanctions. he added that washington tries to shift the blame for instigating tensions on the korean peninsula he also said that the u.s. is strong if it believes that north korea would change its position after this meeting we think sanctions now all this was a waste after the u.n. security council unanimously adopted a resolution which was drafted by the united states to be imposed toppers sanctions on pyongyang now at half of the vote at the u.n. security council north korea warning that should this resolution pass the would response to where they do you actually and in a statement which was published on the state media platform the foreign ministry said that if the u.s. does recap the illegal and unlawful resolution if it responds encourage specific he was said that would be a measure is that north

u.n. sanctions: the sanctions vicious. that rhetoric to go days after u.s. ambassador to the u.n.ki haley issued this reminder to the world. >> these are by far the strongest measures ever imposed on north korea, they give us better chance to halt the regime's ability to fuel and finance its missile program. we all know the steps only work if all nations implemented them completely and aggressively. >> jon: i am joined now by gordon chang, the sanctions were not as tough as the u.s. wanted but they are tougher than has been in place before in china back to them. >> yes but china has backed the previous eight sets of sanctions, this is number nine and they are just a marginal increase over number eight. the real problem with sanctions as these are half measures and because of them we are going to wait to see if china and the international community enforces them but we do not have that much time. we don't have very much time to figure this out. ten years ago we could deal with half measures, but not now. >> jon: of these are half measures, what would you propose as full measures? >

u.n. sanctions or additional sanctions. reporter: when do you expect to make a designation? sec. mnuchin: we do designations on a rolling basis. they obviously start with activity today. this is forward-looking, not backwards-looking. reporter: could you say more about your discussion with the central bank of china? sec. mnuchin: those conversations are confidential, but as i said, i had a very productive conversation this morning. reporter: piggybacking on that -- the timeline of it -- has there been previous negotiations before with the bank of china? sec. mnuchin: no. there were no previous negotiations. the first time we discussed it was early this morning our time. i called them to alert them in advance, given their close cooperation with us. reporter: i want to ask part of the same question, which is that china had given some indication a week and a half ago with some actions. what they did today was completely separate from what they indicated earlier. sec. mnuchin: again, i'm not going to make any comments about what they did earlier. what they did today i assume was a re

u.n. sanctions will not work because china does not want north korea to collapse which means we will never see a sanction that's crippling that's having crippling effect on north korea and this is the same thing again the original version that united states and its allies have worked very hard on had some very serious clauses but they were all kind of shut down and this came as a compromise because united states and allies cannot afford to have russia and china stay out of it so this was a definite compromise but as a result of it a real this here is see u.n. sanctions again making almost close to no difference. the bangladeshi prime minister sheikh hasina has gone to camps housing or hinge of muslims thousands of fled violence in neighboring me and mark the camps there are struggling to cope with more than three hundred thousand injured we've arrived since fighting began in the northern state of rakhine in me and on. sheikh hasina to help them and said she would not tolerate any injustice against them or injured fighters attacked police posts triggering what me and martin's military calle

u.n. sanctions steve says that fact he has already got a draft prepared for a new financial sanctions that would cut north korea completely off from access in any way to the u.s. financial system so certainly there is this feeling from the united states that further action will happen if north korea continues down this path but the past seems to be from the eyes of the united states one of trying to avoid war but instead work on diplomacy through exerting economic pressure what we're seeing as well is out on capitol hill the u.s. congress the house foreign affairs committee is set to begin meeting holding a hearing on north korea that is imminent the chair of that committee saying that it's the hope that they will be able to figure out how to respond to north korea's tast the most recent one which is being recognized as the most powerful to date the desire is to try and sort of fully flex the economic muscle of the united states in terms of what further measures can be taken against north korea in the hopes that they will begin to resume talks or i can really how can live for us there in w

sanctions for ten years it was the u.s. that instigated the u.n. security council to come up with more resolutions on sanctions against north korea so we're used to living in such conditions and we still managed to achieve everything we wanted if washington things will bend under these new measures and change of position it's an illusion to know all this was the way south through the u.n. security council unanimously adopted a resolution which was trapped by the u.s. to impose tougher sanctions on calling it a hat of the foliage at the security council north korea warning that should this resolution passed pyongyang would response to with action and in a statement which was released on the state media platform the foreign ministry said that if the u.s. does rig up a legal and unlawful resolution it would respond in kind specifically it was sad that the measures that north korea will take in response to these sanctions will cost the u.s. the greatest pain and suffering they had ever gone through and it's history but go to new york now and get very re

u.n. sanctions where china signed up to quite heavy embargoes on north korea we have yet to see how china is even implementing those sanctions so another sanctions package on top of that there will be lots to monitor in the months ahead and seeing how committed is china to actually implementing sanctions ok well let's actually listen to what nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has said to the security council once the vote came in and it was announced that basically had been passed unanimously that's listening. previous efforts to bring north korea to the negotiating table have failed they have repeatedly walked back every commitment they have made today the security council has acted in a different way today we are attempting to take the future of the north korean nuclear program out of the hands of its outlaw regime we are done trying to prod the regime to do the right thing we are now acting to stop it from having the ability to continue doing the wrong thing. let's go back to him who has been with us here in the studio from the royal united services institute here in london so

u.n. security council enacted new economic sanctions against north korea. and it is becoming increasingly clear sanctions will not work fast enough to prevent north korea from acquiring a nuclear arsenal. earlier this week, a treasury department official showed conclude how easily north korea evades the ban on coal exports. in june, a ship left port in china. halfway to north korea, it turned off the transponder, which allows it to be tracked. it pulled into north korea, where it was caught by a satellite as it loaded coal. the ship returned to the point where it had turned off the transponder, switched it back on, and proceeded to a port in russia, leaving a track which look liked it had gone straight from china to russia. both u.s. and u.n. officials say the only way to make sanctions work is to give navies the power to stop and search vessels suspected the carrying banned goods to and from north korea. anthony. >> mason: david martin at the pentagon. thank you, david. ben tracy, meanwhile, is following this from beijing. ben, these new u.n. sanctions aim

u.n. sanctions approved by the security counsel needed to be watered down in order to gain the support of a and of russia. so the sub text that being sanction as the diplomatic tool are at their maximum. there will be interest on what president trump has to say to general assembly especially given the mixed messages from the u.s. on north korea. we have nikki haley talking about north korea's destruction. rex tillerson sounding more s conciliatory. president trump taunting kim jong-un and calling him rocket man. the u.n. secretary general says that at this point, a political solution is the only solution to the north korean problem dispute the military options being weighed by the u.s. at the same time, south korean defense officials are saying they believe north korea is nearing the final stage of having icbm capability. capable of dleelivering to the united states. it's getting close to that stage. this is something north korea has warned about. president trump saying he's very committed to having these sanctions work in order to deter and isolate pyongyang. >> thank you. >>> we know the

u.n. emphasize that sanctions could still be an effective weapon if you look at the resolutions that have passed in the last month or two of them they cut thirty percent of the oil they banned all the labors they banned ninety percent of the exports they banned joint ventures we've basically taken it in in the words of north korea we have strangled their economic situation at this point that's going to take a little bit of time but it has already started to take effect the national security adviser agreed but stressed diplomacy was not the only option these sanctions are just now taking effect what's really important is rigorous enforcement of those sanctions so that we can really let the economic actions and diplomacy progress as best we can but i think we ought to make clear what's different about this approach is is that we're out of time right is best for him he said before you know we've been kicking the can down the road and we're out of road and so for those who have said and it been commenting about the lack of a military option there is a military option following yet another nor

u.n. sanctions were unanimously adopted by the u.n. including yes votes from china and russia so even though the sanctions were not quite as stringent as the u.s. and its allies had hoped south korea hopes that does send a message that the international community is united when it says it will not put up with north korean provocations but in terms of other options it seems there is nothing that can be done so far to stop this cycle of sanctions and more provocations from north korea and today we're hearing from north korea that it is threatening to push ahead and redouble its efforts when it comes to its missile launches and its nuclear testing role because they for now thanks very much indeed . fifty five people are now confirmed dead in the united states and the caribbean from hurricane there are fears the death toll could rise further it killed thirty seven people in the caribbean when it barreled through as a category four storm destroyed much of the infrastructure in its path leaving nearly sixteen million people in the u.s. withou

u.n. sanctions what's likely to happen next that i mean presumably we'll see more missile launches a nuclear tests you know this is a great opportunity for north korea because they can take this as an operative excuse to carry on more of their nuclear and missile tests here they're saying there will do this in protest through the sanctions imposed upon them additionally even though we don't see much of the sanctions educationally being imposed on north korea will take advantage of this opportunity to carry on for the necessary test they will need you know at the for the accomplish what they have in mind which is afford the full nuclear ization of their forces having i.c.b.m.'s having the capability of flying all the way to the united states cities therefore making the u.s. presence here kind of meaningless in the sense professor thank you for talking to al-jazeera. now britain and sweden are requesting a un security council meeting on violence against a range of muslims in me among the un's describing their treatment in rakhine state as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing more than three
