the united nations security council approves new sanctions targeting north korea and its nuclear program. the cleanup begins in the florida keys where officials fear a humanitarian crisis and the aftermath of hurricane. britain and sweden seek a u.n. meeting on the hinge a crisis a day after its human rights chief denounced me and mocked. britain's parliament is now really votes in favor of key legislation to start its brags it from the european union. united nations security council has agreed to impose new sanctions on north korea they severely restrict fuel supplies and block north korean textile exports it also bans foreign countries from hiring north korean workers diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations. this was the result the u.s.
5:02 am
ambassador nikki haley wanted even though she had to weaken her resolution to get it a unanimous vote by the security council to punish north korea for its latest nuclear test today the security council has acted in a different way today we're attempting to take the future of the north korean nuclear program out of the hands of its outlaw regime china and russia may have voted for the resolution but both said it was only part of the solution the u.s. and south korea they said should stop military exercises and remove the fired missile defense system and there should be new talks new that so it's a big mistake to underestimate this russia china initiative it remains on the table at the security council and we will insist on it the inconsiderate as well that it's pretty clear that the u.s. had wanted to push through a much tougher resolution this is the text that was voted on by the security
5:03 am
council but out zeros obtained an earlier version that was circulated last week by comparing the two you can see the items that the u.s. had to drop to get russian and chinese support the original draft included a total ban of sale of oil petroleum and gas to north korea that was changed to some restrictions on sales it also had included a total ban on hiring and paying workers from north korea the original version also called for a travel ban and assets freeze on the north korean leader and freezing the finances of north korea's national airline choroid. one of the u.s. is closest allies says despite the changes this was a strong resolution ambassador you say it's a robust resolution yes it's watered down from the earlier draft and key elements to be taken out of what's called negotiation and that's what we do here in the security council there is
5:04 am
a significant prize in keeping the whole of the security council united and that is without doubt why the us decided to withdraw items from its original draft the trumpet ministration has very few good options when it comes to north korea but a veto by russia and or china would have divided the international community making things even more difficult james pays out of the united nations. we're going to have reaction to this here the council's vote from around asia we're going to check in with craig leeson in tokyo in just a minute first let's go to south korean capital seoul and wayne hey wayne north korea has warned that there are going to be repercussions if the sanctions go ahead how is that being interpreted in seoul. yes will be no very busy morning so far tuesday morning with various governments departments here in seoul giving their response to what they have heard unfold at the united nations security council of course they welcoming the decision to introduce tougher sanctions
5:05 am
against north korea they would have been deeply involved in those negotiations behind the scenes with the united states even though south korea is not at the moment a member of the u.n. security council they have been expecting for several days now for north korea to respond to any tougher u.n. security council sanctions it is been threatening for some time to launch another ballistic missile in fact since it launched its last missile the intermediate what range one that flew over japan they said that at that stage that was just the start of a much wider campaign in the pacific one of the government departments we've heard from so far tuesday morning here in seoul is from the defense ministry and they are saying that again that tunnel three at the nuclear test site in north korea is ready for another nuclear test at any time so that again will be causing some concern that perhaps north korea in the days ahead will respond to what we've seen
5:06 am
in new york with perhaps another missile test or even its seventh nuclear test. and we heard the chinese ambassador to the u.n. say after that unanimous vote that they were concerned about the deployment of anti missile systems in and around the region they said that he said that they were likely to cause problems destabilize the situation and of course many of those years or at least one of those units forgive me has been deployed in south korea what's the reaction to that. yes well that's been the sticking point really from day one when fog was first deployed two of those rocket launches went into that site in south korea in april china has voiced its opposition to it very strongly really since day one and it is consistently said that if we are to move ahead toward some sort of dialogue with north korea korea or even to agree to tougher sanctions that perhaps we need to get to
5:07 am
a point where fire is removed from south korea and also the other thing that the chinese ambassador to the u.n. mentioned in his speech a few hours ago was the joint military exercises that take place in south korea between south korea and the united states and again china has been opposed to those as well and says that that is a sticking point to getting north korea to the dialogue table and it's really a dual track policy here from china it wants to see the u.s. and south korea back down from those military drills it wants to see thaw disassembled if you like or at least suspended any potential operation of that missile defense system which is a u.s. system and in exchange it can get north korea perhaps to suspend its nuclear and missile program kick clearly at the moment we seem to be a long way from either side coming to that sort of situation where for now thanks very much indeed craig lisa is joining us now from tokyo with the japanese reaction
5:08 am
craig i'm just seeing that the japanese prime minister shinzo rbs being quoted by the reuters agency saying it's important to change north korea's policy by imposing a higher level of pressure on the country than ever before now the u.n. ambassador japanese u.n. ambassador spoke after this unanimous meeting they had supported it but is there a feeling there that these sanctions will be enough do you think. well i think it's the middle ground and initially we saw the leader japanese lesions are they. looking to have very tough sanctions put in place he approached putin the russian leader at the eastern economic forum in vladivostok last week asking for that for range of sanctions to go ahead he was told by the russian leader that couldn't possibly happen and that he believed that dialogue was still the way forward so i think what we've seen here is some middle ground being reached
5:09 am
and certainly the japanese leader has come out saying that he's happy with the result he hardly appreciates the unanimous vote to apply the strong sanctions on north korea but he reiterated and wants people to remember that the hydrogen bomb was as he said and i'm forgivable act of violence the resolution he said shows that the international community has a clean determination to urge all to urge that north korea to change its policy so i think they're happy that this is sending the message that north korea needs to step into line but now of course they have the north korean reaction to counter and of course be very worried about the kind of reaction that this elicits from the north korean leader given that north korea has stated in the past that any further pressure on it through sanctions would bring a very strong response and of course craig north korea just recently fired
5:10 am
a rocket that went over and islands in. japan's and of course that must create an additional pressure on the japanese government to try to make these sanctions work . well that's correct and that's maybe why they have agreed to the sanctions in their present form they didn't really have a choice to be honest but what it is doing is now leading japan and some of the defense minister and and certainly. to call for further spending on defense here and he said that he will be having discussions with the united states on how they can implement that they would like to bolster their defense here that means buying more defense infrastructure to counter any north korean attacks so i think there are talks that certainly will involve trilateral talks with south korea and
5:11 am
the united states in the coming week in terms of how they can further protect themselves from the missile launches that north korea has been propagating in the past and is likely i think japan at least police to again engage in the future given the result of these u.n. resolutions craig listen live for us in tokyo thank you very much indeed well once more the burden of enforcing some of these sanctions falls on customs officials on the border with north korea if you and brown reports from down dong in china hours before the u.n. vote it was business as usual in dun dong the steady flow of empty lorries to north korea crossed the single lane friendship bridge a vital economic conduit for the north. nearby other trucks enter a customs yard before heading the other way. there covered cargoes offering few
5:12 am
clues of what might be inside. but some trucks appeared to be carrying building materials. experts say because north korea's government is now so hard up china is selling on credit. so the north needs hard cash from wherever it can get it the stirring patrick songs are a feature of one of dandong most popular north korean restaurants in theory you sanctions mean these performers can't be replaced by new musicians from the north the wages of the performers waitresses and cooks are collected directly by the regime a very lucrative source of hard currency what happens is when these restaurants is the people work there basically all the money is going back on only a pittance is going to the people who are actually doing the business these are i would i don't say france because they offer real services analysts say that kim
5:13 am
jong un knows that china's leaders will not allow his regime to collapse because of what could follow hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring across the border into china swimming across this very river and the prospect of a united and democratic south korea with the possibility of u.s. military bases right on china's doorstep in spite of that risk some chinese people think their government needs to be tougher with their neighbor and should all united together and punish them otherwise they would just do more damage to us not of course north korea should be punished it has a great impact on china north korea is right next door if there is radiation cost by a nuclear test or even a war breaks out it will have tremendous impact on china cutting off the oil that china pumps underground to north korea from this refinery would have had a big impact but that was a step too far for china's leaders for now they'll continue their push for

security council meeting on the deteriorating situation in me in ma the united nations is describing the treatment of the minority in iraq and state as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing more than three hundred thirteen thousand four hundred one have now fled a military crackdown in northern iraq to seek safety in neighboring bangladesh the government says three thousand have been killed by security forces louise and young first let's speak to and cox's bazar in the bangladesh that's where many of the refugees have been heading divya a party the prime minister of bangladesh is finally coming to see the situation for herself is anything likely to change as a result of the. well rob the prime minister is promising a lot of relief but it's important to note that this is the first time the prime minister a high level government officials are coming to these camps just see the conditions
5:22 am
here she is pretty calm this is right where i am is one of the areas where she will be coming in the course of a long time where thousands have been arriving daily and setting up with absolutely no help not any kind of assistance they are scrambling with through with whatever they can and there's also no relief here but i'll get to that in a minute i wanted to tell you about what's been happening at parliament itself in dhaka where there's been some sort of diplomatic flurry that decided to send a statement to me and more a strongly worded statement saying telling me and mother they need to create a safe zone and to bring their own us back give them back their homes give them a place to live they're telling my man model they want to just do not belong in bangladesh but they belong in me and my also. our director deputy director is expected to come here at these camps today after the prime minister comes to visit so now what we're seeing is that this place is finally getting some
5:23 am
international attention and attention for bangladeshi governments so that they will see what aid agencies are saying it's a humanitarian crisis that is unfolding and david you were saying there of course about the pressures that the bangladesh government is facing in terms of the people coming in there every day are they still going to be able to accept the refugees crossing the border. they have said that they will keep their doors open and border guards are also saying that hundreds or even thousands are arriving on a daily basis and they are letting them through but the problem is once they get here there is nothing for them there's no kind and for structure or any kind of relief for them official relief what we're seeing mostly are aid agencies and local charities that drive around in frocks and throw out supplies so now it's not being evenly distributed certain areas are getting more than others the bangladeshi
5:24 am
government or the prime minister has said that once she arrives here she will announce what kind of relief they are going to give them she's also saying that she will mark another two thousand acres of land right near this camp so that they will be able to set up right now there on private land that they're setting up wherever they can along roadsides often really muddy areas which are on inhabitable but there is also a controversial plan being discussed by the government i'm not it's for them to be moved to an island called that was a silver island that developed about eleven years ago there's nothing there but. those in the know say it is uninhabitable it is not it is flood prone and it's not a place where human beings should be but that is seriously being discussed the government also is trying to now register all the ranger refugees not just the ones that have arrived but also the old ones saying that they don't have a database as to who is here and what their situation is do you have another thanks
5:25 am
very much indeed let's talk to florence larry who is in the young going for us florence davey i was just saying that the bangladesh government has sent a strongly worded statement to the miriama government saying give the hinges back of their home and of course there's a lot of international pressure on the me among government as well as any of this likely to have an effect do you think well this is unlikely really unlikely to have any effect and it won't until the government accepts the ranger as citizens now and they've already. the foreign ministry has issued a statement i think this is probably it didn't mention it was in direct response or anything but this isn't they've essentially defended what's taking place in northern rakhine state despite the sort of international pressure that we've been seeing now we've also been seeing the nature of this pressure change in the last few days. diplomats in the early days of the crackdown were more concerned about remaining diplomatic they expressed concern and they advised urged the myanmar
5:26 am
security forces to exercise restraint now we're seeing a lot more forthrightness and condemnation even as you mentioned the u.n. human rights chief called it a textbook example of ethnic cleansing was taking place in northern rakhine and said the myanmar military has to end its cruel military operation while the foreign ministry issued a statement to say well you know we we take note of the international community's interest in myanmar affairs but what's happening in myanmar is a legitimate crackdown on terrorism and it isn't and we also have other minorities who've been displaced and these are people who've been displaced because of the acts of the fighters and of course the government doesn't refer to them as written jet fighters they're all just know referred to as bengali terrorists so. the answer the short answer to your question whether things are likely to change will things will change only when there's
5:27 am
a need to the political world by the myanmar government to recognize the danger ethnicity isn't and so far they've said shied away from this conversation even when they were kind of advisory commission mentioned that this law needs to be looked at the provisions that are problematic that have made hundreds of thousands were all over him just stateless needs to be looked at there was no mention of this in the state owned media at all this was simply brushed aside so i think we can take that as an indication that the myanmar government really does not intend to do anything about this fundamental matter that is really causing so much obstruction and really behind the persecution of this were hindu muslim minority forums florian young on thank you very much still ahead on al jazeera hundreds of thousands of catalonians celebrates their independence just weeks before a crucial referendum. david michael one way. you are in.

5:31 am
you're watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories this nation security council has agreed to impose new sanctions on north korea they severely restrict fuel supplies and block north korean textile exports they also ban foreign countries from hiring north korean workers at least nine people have been killed after hurricane made landfall in the u.s. mainland it's now been downgraded to a tropical storm a flash flood emergency was issued as dangerous storm surges and torrential rain battered. region at least thirty eight people died in the caribbean. burden and sweden are requesting a u.n. security council meeting on the deteriorating situation in myanmar the united
5:32 am
nations is describing the trip and of the engine minority in iraq and state as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. more now on our top story the new sanctions imposed on north korea monday evening by the u.n. security council for some reaction from south korea i'm joined by oh he's a research fellow at the institute for north korean studies university we appreciate your time the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has said that these were the strongest sanctions ever put into place so far do you think they're going to work. well it depends on how. you define the game that you need to achieve with this resolution two three seven five new security council resolution that will fall short to immediately limb in a nuclear war has an i.c.b.m. intercon in the top bullets the missiles north korea therefore has already developed but the main popper's of the u.n. security council resolution is to drain the long term stamina and capability as
5:33 am
well as political will of north korea ship to continuously pursue the completion of the i.c.b.m.'s mounted with a nuclear warhead so we need time to observe its effect in the long run and of course time is of the essence isn't it because it's one thing to say the sanctions have been voted upon it's quite another thing to actually introduce them this is quite a long process isn't it. yes but. of the new u.n. security council resolution two three seven five years that. didn't take so long for all the parties to unanimously pass it it took only eleven days so it is a very quick response to the north korea's nuclear test compeer to the previous two years security council resolutions respectively taking fifty six days and eighty three days so you're in
5:34 am
a state china and russia are kind of are anticipating that north korea is going to do another problem maybe another missile test and another nuclear test so they need to keep some bullets left of vailable both china and russia although they have signed up to these sanctions made the point that the only way to solve the situation is through diplomacy and through talks and yet north korea seems distinctly. an enthusiastic about the idea of sitting down and having those negotiations do you think that there is any way that north korea can be brought into the gauche eating table. while north korea has not officially and completely refused the idea of coming to the negotiation table the question for north korea is that you know if north korea will come to the negotiation table with the united states from the position of strength they are premise that north korea
5:35 am
wants to complete is north korea because i mean nuclear state that is capable of targeting and hitting the united states with its nuclear weapons one of the keys to all of this is the way that china responds to these sanctions and holds them do you think that china is of a mind to try to support these sanctions as fully as the rest of the security council might wish them to well you know. government of china north korea has becoming more of the strange liability to china as opposed to a strategic asset so north korea if north korea is it going to reach the tipping point then china protection of north korea may be greatly diminished you know sharon is a research fellow at the institute for north korean studies at university we appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed. the british parliament house
5:36 am
passed a controversial bill that would give ministers power to bypass parliament and create new laws the government says it's essential to allow the u.k. to leave the european union smoothly but critics say it will dramatically undermine parliamentary democracy in britain largely reports from westminster. there are still those who demand the u.k. remains in the european union but judging by these tiny protests outside parliament increasingly few believe it's actually possible. for the basin votes were just one stage of an enormous process albeit an extremely important one the government wants to hand power to ministers to be able to change e.u. laws into british ones without consulting parliaments many opposition politicians say that is a threat to democracy but a notable number who support breck's it voted not with their party but with the
5:37 am
government's they said must be made to happen i knew it would become precocious and i knew it would be difficult and i knew we would see something of what we're seeing now which is a real reaction from those people who prefer the european union to make our laws rather than the people of the united kingdom will be i find i'm sure charities believe the ruling conservatives ordered every single m.p. to toe the line even the most passionate pro europeans for me there's no two more fundamental british values than democracy and the rule of law and this bill strikes at the heart of both democracy and the rule of law because it prevents parliament from scrutinizing laws and it prevents the courts from ensuring that ministers any abuse that powers. want to question is that the government lost the vote it probably would have collapsed it didn't so the process moves on it's all enormously difficult. for supporters of the whole point is to make the country more democratic
5:38 am
to increase. parliamentary solvency and yet the complaints is they're doing something profoundly anti-democratic to get them and that's very uncomfortable for many m.p.'s it's also procedural as of yet there is nobody in there offering any clear vision as to what britain is supposed to look like after bricks it in twenty nine seen. in london the number of refugees and migrants arriving in europe through spain has more than doubled this year the head of the european union's border agency says it's registered almost fourteen thousand arrivals in spain from morocco it's not clear if the rise is due to tougher controls around libya which may force refugees to take alternative routes. more than a million people have taken to the streets across catalonia to celebrate its national day its a commemoration of the fall of barcelona in the war of spanish succession in seven hundred fourteen but this year's demonstrators were looking to the future not the
