again, before the un general assembly. 10 asked her to leave that meeting off the list. now, we can speculate as to why that was the case, i find this whole mess to be really deeply puzzling. but that, i was told by two separate sources, both of whom have no particular reason to spin me about anything that number 10 did or didn't do. priti patel is due to arrive back in the uk at some time this afternoon, we will bring you the latest on the events as they unfold. the number of homeless people in england has risen by nearly 111,000 in the last year, according to new research. the homeless charity, shelter, found more than 300,000 homeless people in the country and warned that the true figure is likely to be much higher. ali fortescue reports. i don't like telling people where i live because people, they just automatically judge. i would just say to people that we live in, like, a flat. gemma and her daughter live in a hostel in cheshire. they have been homeless for the last 18 months. i lost my house, i lost myjob, and i sp

has come out even since the president gave a speech in the un general assembly where he basically said our priorities are no longer democracy prosperity and security for the united states in the world but prosperity security and sovereignty for the world that's the america first piece of the puzzle and you know human rights democracy these values points are being deemphasized to the pleasure of some leaders like president to tear tail like the chinese put to the displeasure of others like europe and australia and japan all right thanks verb it's me asking it's new to germany tyson as always thank you very much thank you. russia's president vladimir putin and his turkish counterpart are one are meeting in the russian city of sochi for talks focusing on the situation in syria the ties between moscow and korea suffered amid the conflict in syria particularly after turkey shot down a russian warplane in twenty fifteen but today putin said relations are quote restored practically in full recently the two countries agreed on cooperating to deescalate the fight the meeting in sochi follows a

minister in new york, an official from the israeli foreign ministry in new york again before the un general assemblyber ten did or didn't do. stephen, do stay with us. going back to westminster. stephen is standing by his story, standing by what those two sources have told him in direct contradiction to what member ten is saying about all of this. if that was the case, this would be an extraordinary mess for number ten as well as priti patel. there are some areas of overlap between what stephen and numberten areas of overlap between what stephen and number ten are saying. i don't think number ten dispute there was a conversation about priti patel talking about the un meeting on friday. the area of difference seems to be who decided not to put it on the list of 12 engagements, not to admit toa the list of 12 engagements, not to admit to a 13th engagement. number ten seem to imply that was different, stephen imply that was memberten. in the different, stephen imply that was member ten. in the end, different, stephen imply that was memberten. in the end, it is different, stephen imply that was member t

both have told me pretty much exactly the same thing, which is that at a meeting before the un general assemblyh israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu with israeli prime minister binyamin neta nyahu when she with israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu when she met him in august in israel, and there was reference made to wait trip to israel. downing street are insisting that the first that anyone knew about that meeting was friday of last week. my two separate sources tell me that that's simply not the case. i have another aspect of the story, which i now have a third source four, which is that the list that priti patel produced on monday of her 12 unauthorised meetings in israel, that it was apparently not full disclosure, and we learned last night there were two other meetings, one of which was an official from the israeli foreign ministry who she met in new york when they were both there for the un general assembly. the fact that priti patel supposedly didn't tell number 10 about that meeting is what has done for her today. i have been told by my original to sources, but also by a thir

african media during the last un general assembly in september in your. eight or nine of us were invited by him so much the impression that he can convey. the sense of and solve them very different from the public image where first of all a certain humility he walked. i don't know too much about your place. have called you here from tommy and so i can. just say that i have two friends. but the attitude that he. learns i think most of the people very wise and. in leadership in africa. but some of the been there for a long time i could see were. significantly surprised. by his manner when it comes to africa do you think donald trump will be good for africa obviously he touches america first policy you seem to have negated what a lot of people thought that possibly doesn't know much about africa that is not going to be good for africa where do you think that relationship will go and could it be a competitor held a competitor to china. the. them america for their residence. it's not something that is all necessarily negative as far as i'm concerned because i'

to assue has risen discussion topic at the highest levels. 20 considered it, the un's general assemblyit. there have been a number of blue ribbon panel reports that have talked about these. including one commissioned by the white house, another by the u.k. the charitable trust has put out a great discussion. these are identifying the problems and suggesting solutions. to this point, we have not gotten around to implementing them. betty: it sounds slow going. what area, what country, what region's most vulnerable to these superbugs? a lot of things have come out of asia. it is because there is a combination of factors that place thee development of new pathogens at the forefront. you have large livestock populations, which are pools of different types of bacteria. because the livestock are getting the antibiotics, worldwide, not just in asia, but particularly in asia where you have lots of poultry farms, the more things are given, the more opportunity there is for bacteria to mutate. there have not been any new classes of new antibiotics since the 1980's, you have decades of mutation go

only really in november one thousand nine hundred forty seven the un general assembly adopted resolution one eight one recommending that palestine be partitioned into separate arab and jewish states. the owners of the united nations the solution to recommend partition brings while devolution among the jewish community in the roosevelt mentality. this was the first ever international recognition of the long hoped for jewish state. but the extremists saw no cause for celebration. they thought that the jews had the absolute right to the whole of palestine. and that the borders of the jewish state shouldn't be defined by any foreign bodies like the united nations so they wanted greater israel as it existed in biblical times. in april one thousand nine hundred forty eight going to forces began a military operation to take control of arab areas assigned to the jewish state under the partition plan. extremist militias joined the effort but soon they had overstepped the mark. left that is the stern gang and you're going as the british call them participated in one famous atrocity which was of co

that was that at a meeting held between priti patel and the prime minister before the un general assemblyhings they discussed was the idea that priti patel had herself earlier discussed with benjamin neta nyahu. patel had herself earlier discussed with benjamin netanyahu. the meeting between them came up, as it were, in that meeting. so the prime minister was aware that she had met benjamin netanyahu, according to my two separate sources, in september rather than, as downing street keep insisting, just last friday. there was one other aspect to my story which was that the list that she put out on monday, that priti patel put out on monday, that priti patel put out on monday, that priti patel put out on monday, that supposedly clarified the various meeting she had held in israel, the thing that has basically done for her now was that another two meetings have emerged that were not on that list. now my sources, and since i published a story i have had a third source come to me and say this is exactly correct, that priti patel, according to my three sources, did tell number ten on monday abo

and loaded and of course the references to rocket man which he also said at a speech at the un general assembly then we've got a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people and when the foreign minister spoke at the u.n. a veiled threat if he echoes the thoughts of the rocket man then he won't be around much longer so how does all of that go down in south korea itself you must wonder the place arguably at most risk from north korea or at least the closest tony berkeley has our report now from seoul. the u.s. has been flexing its military might for president trump's visit its state of the art u.s. b. one supersonic bomber has been flying close to the border with north korea in the western pacific three u.s. carrier groups stand ready and in japan stealth bombers are we move to within striking distance tensions have been on the rise on the korean peninsula since the u.s. president and kim jong un began their war of words the north korean leaders planning to produce an intercontinental ballistic missile tipped with a nuclear warhead that could hit the u.s. mainland trump has vowed to st

he didn't use the rhetoric he used when he went off script at the un's general assembly, talking aboutorea facing the "fire and fury" of the united states. toning down that rhetoric is probably something that the moon, urgedre, mr. president trump directed down a little bit. people in south korea, for at least the three decades i have lived here in asia, they have kind of gotten used to the rhetoric and threats coming from north korea. they are not used to this kind of comment coming from the u.s. president, which they look for some stability. , at maybe thedent urging of president moon, ratcheting down a little bit and us waiting some of the fears -- thea suede -- and assuading fears of some of the south koreans. seen rexwe've just tillerson, sector you state, in there in the national assembly -- secretary of state, in there in the national assembly. they say they were not allow american cities to be threatened , saying "responsible nations must all get together, must join it to isolate the north korea regime." and north korea must be denied support, supply, and acceptance. that is cu

circles at the point of reference for any political solution on jerusalem should be or could be un general assembly resolution 181 also known as the partition plan. this resolution called for establishing an international entity around jerusalem which called for corporate soprano. i think ambassador bolton made the point well. this resolution is a dead letter. after 1949, for example, after the un failed to protect the old city of jerusalem for invading armies our prime minister in december of that year stood in front of the [inaudible] and talked about the corporate [inaudible]. david ben-gurion reminded his listeners that the un did not lift a finger during 1948 and he said that jewish jerusalem could've been wiped off the face of the earth had it not been for the newly created israel defense forces in the pre- state of military formations. ben-gurion then addressed international organizations and putting him from 1949. we cannot today regard the decision of 29 november, 1947 as being possessed of any further moral force. since the united nations did not succeed in implementing his own decision a

we have to take into account is the probability that kim jong-un, when being ridiculed and demeaned in public at the u.n. general assemblyocket man, this kind of thing, and essentially threatened with nuclear attack, fire and fiery against north korea, he's willing to do something that both his father and grandfather got away with it i think there's a major provocation in this region, in the coming year we're going to end up at war with north korea. >> we're keeping an eye as we see on the left of your screen, the president's boat has docked at the uss arizona and he's proceeding to the memorial. he'll be laying a wreath very very shortly. nighier ra you were nodding when the general was talking? >> certainly. chinese has been brilliant in making north korea an issue for the united states and not accepting chinese responsibility for what they are doing in the region. >> gourdon chang is china as worried about this as anyone else is? is it really that bad for china if north korea does press that nuclear button? >> the north korea nuclear program and the ballistic missile program has been aided by the chinese. for instance

general assembly. didn't threaten to destroy them and call kim jong-un little rocket man but kept up strong rhetoric. we are expecting him to take the hard line into his immediatings. the president toured the forbidden city, the palace here in beijing. he's expected to have dinner there. the hard stuff is tomorrow when they get down to the brass tax of negotitions. the subject was the speech in south korea. if kim jong-un continues to develop the weapons, he makes his country less safe. will they put north korea back on the list of state sponsors of terror? they tell cnn by the end of the trip, the president will make that determination, something the north koreans will be unhappy about if he so did that. a photo-op that didn't happen, the president said he wasn't going to visit the dmz between north korea and south korea as other presidents have done before him. he was going to make a surprise trip this morning. we got on marine one and started flying toward there to meet with south korea's president. as they were flying there, weather conditions deteriorated. because of the fog, they needed to turn

general assembly from the president where he threatened to completely destroy north korea, and called un little rocket man. but he talked about their system. he talked about human rights and forced labor camps and kim jong-un hurting his own people, that will not go over well north korea at all. it will be interesting to see how they respond. we know that the north koreans are looking for the fact that donald trump has brought up the idea of putting north korea back on the state sponsors of terrorism list, president bush took north korea off the list. president trump, according to a senior administration official will decide by the end of the trip, whether to put north korea back on the state sponsors of terrorism list and one more thing about a photo op that did not happen this morning. president trump, despite saying he was not going to the dmz, tried to make a surprise visit to the dmz by going helicopter to the border line. and he got as far as flying toward the dmz, but bad weather forced the cancellation of what would have been a dramatic photo op. >> yeah, mother nature stepping i

the un secretary—general is monitoring the situation there and appeals for calm, nonviolence and restraint. preservation of fundamental rights including freedom of speech and assemblyt was holding president mugabe and his family safe while targeting what the core criminals in the entourage of the president after his 40 yea rs entourage of the president after his 40 years in power. that is the latest air from the united nations, there is an appeal for calm there. 0n the line from harare is the human rights activist ben freeth. you may remember in 2008 ben successfully sued mugabe's regime for violating the rule of law and human rights in zimbabwe which was chronicled in the award—winning 2009 documentary film mugabe and the white african. just give us your assessment of where zimbabwe is today? just give us your assessment of where zimbabwe is today7m just give us your assessment of where zimbabwe is today? it is an interesting situation, we are basically under military rule. there are soldiers everywhere. armoured personal carriers in the middle of the town. along the roads leading to the town. along the roads leading to the capital, police roadblocks have been rep

president trump's speech at the united nations general assembly when he used those fiery terms like totally destroying north korea, called their leader kim jong-un rocket man. while he has dialed that back, north korea hasn't forgotten about that. it's been nearly two months since they conducted any sort of military test. there are a lot of reasons why that may or may not be. we simply don't know the thinking of north korean leader kim jong-un. what we don't know is that the north koreans in their message repeatedly and even this week have warned the united states not to underestimate their abilities, their arsenal and officials here want to send the trump administration a very clear message because talk, they feel, simply wouldn't be effective, given the mixed messaging that has come out of the administration. >> it's also important to remember the obsession with survival that the north has. that is the real concern, that the regime will be taken over and even the chinese are sympathetic to that. they don't want american influence at its doorstep. they like the buffer of the north. i thveng that goes to the point of whether we can get far enoug

general assembly, which almost explicitly threatened nuclear attack on north korea. his tweeting, demeaning, ridiculeing of kim jong-unclear devices. so that was the initial thought behind i think these hearings, but alex at the end of the day, we look at the control of nuclear weapons, there is what we call the two-man rule, there are no single person in the u.s. armed forces who can unilaterally do anything to authenticate or launch a missile, it's all two-man control except for the president of the united states. so it's probably appropriate at this point to rethink that policy and have a requirement the secretary of defense and the president collectively should authorize preemptive use of nuclear devices. >> you are reflecting the sentiments on wednesday on that in the "new york times." do you believe the rules do not cater unforeseen circumstances and why is this coming you only since president trump took office in. >> i think it's coming up, when we look at north korea, we are almost inexorably moving to a binary choice, are we going to take military action against north korea, with conventional air and sea atta

assembly expectation. and so for now the nation waits and wonders if and when zimbabwe's smiling prisoner will accept defeat. andrew harding, bbc news, harare. the un secretary generalguterres is coming to the end of his first year in office. just a couple of months ago, he warned the world was in danger, "in pieces", and needed putting back together again. the bbc‘s matthew amroliwala has caught up with him to ask about the challenges ahead. first he talked about the situation in zimbabwe. like to see military involved in politics, but i have to recognise this is a confusing situation. i hope, first of all, that there is no blood, that this is done peacefully. and i hope that this will be able to lead to a political democratic solution and that the next elections that are scheduled are free and fair elections for the people of sir bobby to choose their own future. —— zimbabwe. he also said he was deeply troubled by tensions on the korean peninsula and urged north korea to come to the table. that also keeps me awake at night. i think it is absolutely essential that the security council remained united and that the north koreans except the need to key nuclear row is

assembly. it is an important speech, obviously, right across the demilitarized zone, kim jong-un will be watching and listening. general clapper, one of the things that our reporter will ripley who was in north korea right now says the nurmg one thing the north koreans are going to be looking for is an announcement from president trump about whether or not he's going to put north korea back on the list of state sponsors of terror. that country was originally on the list. george w. bush and that administration took him off in 2008 as part of the deal they were working on as a diplomatic gesture. what decision do you think president trump should make? >> frankly, i personally don't think he shouldn't dolgt. i don't see the intrinsic gain by putting him back on the terrorist list. we're not going to treat him differently with all the sanctions we've imposed on him, and it's more symbolic and a negative message to the north koreans. if on the one hand he is reaching out, let's make a deal, i wouldn't do that. i'd hold that back as a stick, but not do it right now. >> you have made very clear that you don't believe that the

general assembly speech he gave where he directly threatened north korea, threatened to completely destroy the country. called kim jong-une rocket man. the speech he gave today in south korea criticizing the system in north korea, talking about human rights abuses there, talking about forced labor camps and torturing political prisoners. that's the kind of thing that we're expecting him to say to president xi jinping in china over the next 36 hours or so. we know that president trump is inside the forbidden city right now, the imperial palace in the city of beijing. they're having dinner and a lot of hard negotiations happen during the day tomorrow. it will be interesting to see if president trump can get the chinese side to do more of what he wants, which would be putting more economic pressure on pyongyang to force them to stop developing their nuclear weapons. one thing we know the north koreans will be looking for towards the end of the trip is whether or not the u.s. president puts them back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. president bush took off north korea from that list. president trump has signaled p

un to try to hash this conflict out with both of them together. the other thing we're watching for, of course, today is president trump is going to address the general assemblywill see if his tone sounds more like what we heard at that press conference or we'll see if he goes back to this sort of fire and fury little rocket man rhetoric that we're so used to hearing from the president stateside. >> it seems anyone's guess is as good. thank you so much. >>> joining me to discuss this national security analyst samantha, she served on president obama's national security council and bruce clinger a former chief of cia of korea's branch. samantha, what do you make for now, what do you make of this shift in tone from the president? >> i think this may have been be a smart, strategic move ahead of president trump with his meeting with vladimir putin. giving diplomacy more of a chance is music to vladimir putin's ears. he is vehemently against a military strike on north korea particularly if it means mores u.s. troops on the peninsula near the russian border. there's more that russia can do to squeeze north korea. bilateral trade between russia and north korea, more
