u.n. security council resolution in the presence view that it was a small step i share that view. we had hoped for much stronger resolution from the security council. having said that i think it did accomplish a couple of things. one, a complete prohibition on textiles which does represent somewhere between seven and $800 million of export revenue to the regime and i think importantly the successful conclusion of yet another unanimous u.n. security council resolution in and of itself i think does continue to send a consistent message to the regime of north korea and importantly to those who continue to enable north korea set to the these that the international community does have a common view on the seriousness of north korea's proliferation program and the development of their weapons, nuclear weapons. i think it's clear with respect to oil and a complete embargo on oil from the u.n. security council, that's going to be very difficult. that is directed at china alone because china supplies essentially all of north korea's oil. i'm hopeful that china as a great country, a world po

u.n. security council. it's a big mistake to underestimate this russian chinese initiative it remains on the table at the security council and we will insist on it being considered now the resolution that was just passed emphasized a call for the six party talks to resume from day one russia and china have called for negotiations and a diplomatic solution to the crisis and an easing of tensions on the korean peninsula and it seems that that view put forward by russia and china from the beginning of this crisis has prevailed with the resolution being passed by the fifteen member body the u.n. security council the experts we spoke to think that a diplomatic solution to the korean crisis is still possible despite the fact that the u.s. is pushing tough measures against pyongyang. i think that they wanted some action to be taken and they knew that china and i believe also russia would not go along with what the draft was it was really recipe for extinction for north korea korea has also said that if there's a pe

u.n. security council quite a change in tone from u.s. leaders regarding north korea we heard nikki haley speaking before the u.n. security council today and kind of calm tone saying that the north koreans have not passed a point of no return that there are peaceful and diplomatic solutions to the crisis but we've heard some very different words from nikki haley herself as whether as well as other u.s. officials in relation to north korea we are not looking for a war the north korean regime has not yet passed the point of no return if it agrees to stop its nuclear program it can reclaim its future if it proves it can live in peace the world will live in peace with. its nuclear threats show that he is begging for war massive military response. and overwhelming the shield stands guard. and the sword stands ready. they will be met with fire and we also heard from the representative of the russian federation now the ambassador for the russian federation he talked about how russia's opinion and russia's perspective has been and russia maintains

u.n. security council. for the resolution of. syria. with german authorities believing that over a. devastating hurricane weakens businesses in the affected areas face criticism. very well both of us here. we have your latest worldwide headlines and we do begin this hour with breaking news at the u.n. security council has adopted new sanctions against north korea the latest resolution for hit countries from buying textiles from north korea it also restricts issuing new work to north korean workers plus the document puts a cap on oil imports but this version is a big step back from what was originally proposed by the united states in new york in new york i should say our correspondent. has details. this is a very different resolution than the draft that was circulated by the united states the original draft of the resolution that the u.s. circulated had actually called for a full oil and natural gas embargo against the d.p. r. k. forbidding north korea from importing any oil or natural gas well the resolution

u.n. security council resolution and the president's view that it was a small step i share that view we had hoped for a much stronger resolution from the security council having said that i think it does it did accomplish a couple of things one a complete prohibition on textiles which does represent somewhere between seven and eight hundred million dollars of export revenue to the regime and i think importantly the successful conclusion of yet another unanimous u.n. security council resolution in and of itself i think does continue to send consistent message to the regime in north korea and importantly to those who continue to enable north korea's activities that the international community does have a common view on the seriousness of north korea's politicization program and the development of their weapons their nuclear weapons i think it's clear that with respect to oil and a complete. embargo on all from the u.n. security council that's going to be very difficult in effect that is directed to china alone because china supplies essentially all of north korea's all oil. i am hopeful that

u.n. security council. north korea has trampled on the international society's strong desire for a peaceful solution it's reckless act is absolutely unacceptable we will request the security council to hold an emergency meeting. he's urging the international community to act as one against north korea and wants the u.n. security council to implement the latest sanctions against the country the u.s. secretary of state is calling on all nations to take new measures against north korea specifically he said china and russia must indicate their intolerance for these reckless launches by taking direct actions of their own this is the second ballistic missile to cross japan in less than a month it comes within twenty four hours of north korea threatening to sink japan with nuclear weapons a threat japan takes seriously now that it believes north korea has the ability to miniaturize its nuclear weapons and place them on top of ballistic missiles like the one which crossed the country today craig leeson al-jazeera to

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.s. secretary of state rex tillerson and of course north korea will almost certainly be on the agenda now one is there ostensibly talking about the planned visit president donald trump is due to make to china in november he's trying to finalize those details but of course north korea will be very much the focus of their discussions i would imagine on friday china of course will see what north korea has done as once more another provocation and also it will seem to outsiders once again a reminder the china really is impotent

on monday, the security council adopted u.n. resolution 3275 and the toughest sanctions imposed on any country in the 21st century. we discussed how best to enforce those measures with the aim of maximizing the pressure on north korea to reach a diplomatic solution. we resolve to work together and with partners who can influence north korea, including china with the complete and denuke lar isation of the north korean peninsula. i'm delighted to welcome along side rex secretary tillerson d demonstrating the alliance between our two countries. rex, great to have you. secretary tillerson: it's always an honor and pleasure to be here in the united kingdom and work with such close and committed allies to find solutions to some of the most complex issues in the world. i want to thank foreign secretary johnson for his kind words to the american people particularly in the aftermath of hurricane harvey and hurricane irma. many americans continue to suffer in recovery and have a long way to go to rebuild their homes and lives. americans d

u.n. security council's resolutions the need is new to these actions pose a serious threat to regional peace and security the leaders agreed to dissolution to the crisis can be reached through diplomatic means only for the resumption of talks involving all interested parties now the first draft of the resolution that was proposed was rather harsh but we understand that a more mild version of this resolution will be put forward in the u.n. security council the first draft of the resolution called for an oil embargo which would essentially have outlawed and forbid any country from exporting oil or natural gas to the democratic people's republic of korea however the newer version of the resolution does not have an a full embargo but it simply caps the amount of oil and natural gas that the d.p. r. k. can import now the original draft that was circulated by the united states called for a specific targeting of kim jong un freezing his assets forbidding him from traveling however the new draft of the resolution that is being put forward at the u.n. security council does not specifically target the

u.n. security council? sec. mnuchin: no. we very much appreciate the u.n. security council resolution, and the unanimous support to that. this goes beyond it. reporter: what does this do that you couldn't get done through the security council? sec. mnuchin: again, this allows us to block any financial institution that does not follow through on the human sanctions -- the 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 aler

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. security council as an instrument to isolate. as often these sanctions were imposed against the country the resolution adopted in the security council was drawn up by washington the latest sanctions imposed by the u.n. security council are a result of the he missed us attempts to isolate and suffocate our country they are a blatant violation of our sovereignty that's why we totally reject and condemn. the sanctions north korea's anger comes despite the document being significantly watered down from last week's original proposal washington had proposed a total oil and natural gas embargo on exports to the hermit states but the final resolution only caps the amount of gas and oil pyongyang can import the original draft also called for sanctions against the north korean leader himself including a travel ban and freeze of kim jong un's assets however that point was deleted completely and it's not just the resolution that's changed but also washington's tone. they will be met with fire fury the shield stands guard. and the sword stands

u.n. security council resolution that passed a month ago. the u.n. in emergency session in which the world is in agreement. we want -- we want the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. >> ed: can we expect new sanctions? >> we will not see a decision or a vote on new sanctions just yet. today's emergency meeting will allow members of the security council to condemn north korea's latest actions on the record officially all 15 members of the security council will speak today and south korea, who is not a member of the security council, could also speak today condemning north korea's latest and strongest nuclear test to date. we're hearing from a reliable source that u.s. ambassador nikki haley will be the first to speak today. this is the second emergency meeting in a week. last week kim jong-un, the north korean leader, fired a short range ballistic missile over japan prompting the government there to warn their citizens to take cover. the u.n. security council strongly condemned that action. but no new sanctions were brought up then. but before th

u.n. security council is meeting publicly on this crisis was briefed by u.n. secretary general until you get a rush the young more representative was in the hot seat today and had to justify himself so this alone is progress now the military the myanmar military knows that the u.n. security council is witching and obviously they are concerned about possible next steps you know by the council now of course this will amount to nothing and there's the security council is the allowed to act and that's the big question mark i would say at this point listening to russia listening to china there is a clear sense that they are not you know fully on board with the direction this is taking even though several countries want sanctions and clear actions against the burmese military it's clear that they are not there yet so that's my worry right now is you know will they allow the u.n. security council to act or will they use their veto to block action in the middle of one of the nastiest ethnic cleansing campaign in recent history i mean you mentioned that the meeting its

u.n. security council and what many saw as a victory for diplomacy the words that we heard from u.s. leaders on the floor of the security council were rather diplomatic we are not looking for war the north korean regime has not yet passed the point of no return if it agrees to stop its nuclear program it can reclaim its future if it proves it can live in peace the world will live in peace with. the latest sanctions imposed by the u.n. security council a result of the heinous u.s. attempts to isolate and suffocating country. place in violation of us over and that's why we totally reject and condemn these sanctions many people whose hopes had really been raised for peace and diplomacy being victorious while those hopes are starting to dampen the are starting to be some some fear that perhaps once again we are in the danger of a global conflict or some kind of war breaking out in the crisis in the korean peninsula could be once again intensifying this is just another on the roller coaster and saying that every week it with the war record goes up very high than that maybe this conciliator

u.n. security council. second, we're using our domestic laws to impose sanctions on individuals and entities that enable the dprk's illicit activities. third, we are pressing countries to fully implement the u.n. security council's resolutions and sanctions and to harmonize the sanctions regimes with those security council designations. fourth, we're urging the international community to cease normal political interactions with the dprk and increase its diplomatic isolation. and you choke off revenue sources that finance the regime's weapons programs. even as we pursued denuclearization on the korean peninsula, deter rents, as was mentioned by the ranking member, is a central part of our strategy. we have deployed the t.h.a.a.d. anti-missile system to the republic of korea and continue to take other measures whether on the united states, south korea, japan with overwhelming force. we have been clear we are not seeking regime change or collapse in north korea, we do not seek accelerated reunification or want

u.n. security council. for the u.n. security council i think there is a chance if you do what i would call precision sanctions which is targeting the comfort and livelihood and enjoyment that the north korean leadership itself enjoys i think that might have an effect and we've seen other examples in history of that type of effect but absent that i think until you get china to make a really different decision and that might involve many more deployments of u.s. military assets in the region and south korean and japanese which need to be really upped in order to deal with this new military challenge of a nuclear i.c.b.m. sometime in the next few years until that happens i don't think china's going to move going to move when that happens i think the chinese army will go to the chinese president say this is way too much this makes tad look like a little pinprick how do you think china is actually going to react to all of this both russia and china we've heard very anxious that although they've signed the agreement on the san

u.n. security council over the situation in north korea were listening to the u.n. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley there in essence she was saying the strongest measures now have to be taken by the u.n. she said the north korea is begging for war we don't want war ourselves but essentially said that the u.s. patience is running out that's a summary of what she said of course we're keeping across this meeting throughout the afternoon. now almost ninety thousand. muslims have fled the southeast asian country of me in march fearing violent oppression by authorities over a million muslims live in the mainly buddhist country mean mars' de facto leader was once hailed a hero but she's now facing mounting criticism and it is chewed up as more. what attributes do you think of when you envisage the ideal leader maybe a symbol of groundbreaking political revolution obviously a person who holds the interests of the people or do you visualize an individual hailed by the media as a hero she was an inspiration during the country's evolution in the eighty's and even won the nob

u.n. security council agrees new sanctions against north korea more after this break. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to present injury. to someone want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to see what the three of them can be get. interested always in the water as it. should. seem. just don't all. get to shape out. and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to the program the u.n. security council's agreed to new sanctions against north korea the resolution drawn up by the us but the documents hugely watered down from what was originally circulated last week for example washington had proposed a total oil and natural gas and volga on exports to north korea but the final resolution only caps the amount of gas and oil pyongyang can imports the original draft also called for sanctions against the north korean leader personally which included a travel ban on freeze of kim jong un's assets however that point was deleted completely from the final variant and i
