security council on monday new measures restrict fuel supplies blocked text are exports and banned foreign countries from hiring north korean workers our diplomatic editor james bays has more. this was the result the us 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 being considered you know 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 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 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 be taken out of what's called negotiation and that's what we do here in the security council there is 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 days out of the united nations will be live from south korea japan and the china north korea border in just a moment adrian brown is in the chinese city of dangdang very close to the north korea border craig leeson is in tokyo but first to kathy novak in the south korean capital seoul kathy what's been the reaction there. while the north korean

ambassador has been speaking at a u.n. sponsored conference on disarmament in geneva saying that north korea condemns in the strongest terms the latest u.n. sanctions going on to say the washington regime is fired up for political economic and military confrontation obsessed with the wild game of reversing north korea's development of nuclear force which has already reached the completion phase now we have heard from north korea's foreign ministry ahead of the vote warning that in the north was prepared to inflict great pain and suffering on the u.s. if the sanctions did go ahead south korea says that it believes that the north is preparing for another missile test at any time and indeed the defense ministry said today that it is monitoring activities that north korea's nuclear research facility and says it is preparing for another nuclear test at any time but for its part south korea has welcomed the latest sanctions south korea's foreign minister says the country had been in close consultations with the u.s.

and other security council members ahead of the vote and south korea's foreign minister has said that oil had to be part of any sanctions as we heard there the original text was somewhat watered down but oil was still included and crucially according to south korea china and russia were able to support this so there was a unanimous vote which south korea believe sends a strong message to north korea that if it continues this provocation it will continue to face further pressure from the international community all right kathy thanks for that let's cross over now to craig leasing who is in tokyo. they still remember the korean missile test that one over japanese territory just over two weeks ago how are they welcoming this new set of sanctions is this what japan want to. well it goes a long way to what they wanted but not the full distance japan backed the initial united states resolution and that was for a total ban on crude oil and

a freeze on kim jong un's assets and in fact japanese leader xi a lot beat the russian president vladimir putin at the eastern economic forum in vladivostok last week on that point but was told by mr putin that he wouldn't agree to that he still favored dialogue so what we've seen i think is that the russians certainly have come to the middle ground and i think japan certainly got what it wanted and that was a strengthening at least of the resolution which puts north career on notice and this is what she had to say about the decision the smalling. say we highly appreciate a swift unanimous vote on the resolution on sanctions against north korea at a significantly tough factual terms. it is important that we put the strongest pressure on north korea so that it changes its policy for this in the international community showed a clear will showing cooperation and solidarity with. but of course what this does

is it puts japan right back in the crosshairs as you mentioned north korea fired a missile across the north of japan just last month two intercontinental ballistic missiles in july so this will anger north korea they will see japan as being complicit part of the push by the united states and south korea to force the sanctions against it and we no doubt will see north korea have angry words towards japan and to that end japan says it has been considering boosting its defense spending and we haven't seen that for many decades here certainly they'll need to get the agreement of the united states and south korea before they do that . craig lease in life which they're in turkey and thank you to adrian brown now he is in dandong china near the north korean border so age in china is of course north korea's biggest trading partner and only real friend what impact will these

sanctions have on china because of course that town where you are now is very reliant on trade with the north. yet certainly when you speak to people here they're pretty sanguine about it all as you rightly point out you know china accounts for a whopping ninety percent of all of north korea's trade most of that trade passes through the city of dandong right on the border with north korea but actually during recent months as trade with north korea has fallen tourism has really started to pick up tourists now come to this place from all over china to stand on the riverfront here behind me and to stare across the river into north korea much the same way the tourists used to go to hong kong thirty or forty years ago to go across the border into china they want to come to this place to experience north korea without actually having to go there but i think the sanctions long term will

have some impact on china's economy china. it's pretty reliant on cheap north korean labor there are some eighty thousand friends it's estimated currently in china and these new u.n. sanctions will limit the number of north koreans that can come here in future so that could hurt the economy some local economies because local labor costs and also expensive which is why a lot of factory owners prefer to use north koreans at times like this of course dandong is always very much in focus because this is a city that is very much at the economic sharp end of enforcing sanctions against china's old ally. hours before the u.n. vote it was business as usual in dandong a steady flow of empty lorries to north korea cross 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

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 patrie arctic 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 restaurant is the people work there. basically all the money is going back or only a pittance is going to the people who are actually doing the business or i would i don't say france because they offer real services analysts say that kim jong il

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 neighbors 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 cast 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

a diplomatic solution to reign in their old ally well that vast oil facility is on the outskirts of dung dong some twenty kilometers away it really is a huge complex we're fact we're detained for several hours after taking those pictures and that i think is a measure of just how sensitive the issue of oil for north korea is a week ago remember the united states was saying to china we want you to cut off the oil but that is something china was never prepared to go along with so i think what has happened to the u.n. security council in some ways represents a diplomatic victory for china what china wants to happen now is this for officials from the united states and north korea to finally sit down face to face and to talk but i think the chances of that happening any time soon are greatly remote. all right for the moment a jim brown live for us there in dan dan thank you. well we've got plenty more

ahead on this news out. of the eyes of a. british legislation to start pulling out of the e.u. passes its first hurdle in parliament. more criticism of the saudi led coalition for its role in the war in yemen. and later in sport i.o.c. president thomas bach stands his ground against twenty sixteen olympic corruption allegations santa has the details coming up later in this news. so all that still ahead but first bangladesh's prime minister has promised shelter and food to thousands of muslims are refugees escaping the violence in myanmar she visited refugee camps near the border and warned she will not tolerate violence

against ranger has and has asked me to take back those who ran away from their homes and just started fleeing myanmar as a hind state two weeks ago after the fighting began. all against any kind of insurgency activities and you know our stand is very clear. that we will not allow anybody to. do. this to our neighboring countries so we have taken very strong stand against any kind of inside his activities so i also request to the international media that you should also publicly that because of that act the common people are suffering women are suffering children are suffering and. and also. you know i want to know why. people are becoming refusing why they are.

there for their sake lou i think all the muslims would be delighted iraq's parliament has just voted to reject this month's referendum on independence by the semi autonomous kurdish region campaigning is already underway for the vote which takes place on september twenty fifth iraq as well as neighboring turkey and iran are opposing the non-binding referendum or imran khan is in erbil the capital of the kurdistan region in iraq so iran both sides making clear their positions on this issue and it doesn't look as this at this point as if there is much common ground here. well we were all expecting baghdad to say no to the referendum promise to hide a body has been very clear he says he doesn't want this referendum to go ahead so this vote was expected by the baghdad parliament however the kurds members of the

hall and they walked out of that vote so they didn't take part in the vote allowing the arab m.p.'s to vote and say no to the referendum so me who is the speaker of the house says this means that the baghdad parliament must now really negotiate with the kurds for a settlement to this issue president masoud barzani all of the chaos has been very clear he wants this to go ahead this referendum to go ahead it's an interesting call a situational dilemma now though because backed out of parts of that it means that if they don't reconvene their own kurdish problem and somewhere around the fifteenth to take a vote on whether the referendum should go ahead on the twenty fifth fixedly puts them in challenge with the decision made by the baghdad polman so now all eyes are on the kurdistan regional government they need to reconvene polman they need to say that they want the referendum to go ahead if they don't do that then they're in

violation of that decision made by the iraqi parliament now let's see what happens there all political factions here in the iraqi kurdish region they say they don't want the referendum to go ahead there is a campaign it's called no for now meaning that they want the referendum to go ahead they will vote for an independent kurdistan but not right now they say that the kurdish regional politics and all the political parties need to come together so really what we're saying is a decision that we're always going to expect the baghdad parliament to say no however we are now seeing a political constitutional dilemma for the kurds they need to reconvene their palm and you have a very contentious issue in iraq. now weakened storm ama continues to kill in lives and cause damage as it moves over the u.s. state of georgia at lance's main airport the world's busiest has had to cancel hundreds of flights and hoff of florida is without power castro reports from tampa

argentina during the best worst moments of the jewish community that's why we have such strong ties with israel they've always been there to help. but there will also be protests including from within argentina's jewish community against the government which we believe these racists is. supporting the recordings. it's a government that. ok it's. very close to big government. who is also in the early word and they are a little conservative government and they are very good friends. very good business i think. netanyahu was also criticized at home for escaping corruption investigations into himself and his family. the prime minister traveling with a delegation of thirty business leaders will meet arjun time president machree and

pay homage to the victims of two attacks in one of cyrus on israeli and jewish sites in the one nine hundred ninety is the jewish communities relationship with argentina has been a long and sometimes troubled one it was at this site in one thousand nine hundred two that the bomb exploded in what was then the israeli embassy killing twenty nine two years later a similar attack at the jewish community center in one of cyrus killed eighty five the perpetrators have still not been found and tried. the political repercussions of that failure a still being felt here more than twenty years later the visit also marks the return of the israeli airline el-al which last touched down in one osiris in may one thousand nine hundred sixty that's when israeli agents angered the argentine authorities by bundling aboard an el al flight the fugitive nazi out of eichmann good sought refuge in argentina they took him to israel where he was tried and hanged for war crimes netanyahu flies on to colombia or mexico on route to the

united nations general assembly in new york and. one of cyrus. british m.p.'s have given their first approval to a bill that would give ministers power to bypass parliament and create new laws the government says it is essential to allow the u.k. to leave the european union smoothly but critics are warning you will undermine democracy largely reports from london. there are still those who demand the u.k. remains in the european union but judging by this 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 parliament so 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 government's they said must be made to happen i knew it would become precocious and i knew it would be difficult so 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 and there will be i find i'm sure turn this bill into one 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 only use their powers. when the 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 brecht's in the whole point is to make the country more democratic to increase parliamentary sovereignty and yet the. complaints is they're doing something profoundly anti democratic to get that 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 nineteen largely al-jazeera in london all right in a few minutes we'll have the weather with richard angwin also still ahead on the edges here. on c n n lent goes on a clandestine mission with one of the most elite units of the philippines military . class volkswagen shock value the world's largest automaker makes a pivot towards electric cars and the champions league group stages are back and get underway with a contest between two of europe's biggest teams details later in sport.

from a fresh coastal breeze. to watching the sunset on the australian outback. we live in a very stormy world at least at the moment so let me start by taking you to europe where we've got a big of cold air which has been coming down on a complex frontal system so we've got a big area of low pressure which is being focused on northern parts of italy and through integration we see some really extreme conditions there two hundred eighty millimeters of rain coming down in less than twenty four hours what does not look like looks like this really quite nasty i've seen some other footage of really dramatic and it was on the repeat across many areas and with emphasize the strength of the wind as well there are some localized effects and some very very strong

winds well the situation here looks as though it is going to improve but notice we've still got some pretty heavy showers across far north of italy savannah's could be very wet for least on the next twelve hours before that system starts to clear away so it should get better across the south you notice for the north though we keep the unsettled weather going so it's a pretty changeable picture at the moment right there next we got to go to asia because we've got two storm systems we hope got a typhoon which is coming into awards taiwan. and the tropical depression is given vast amounts of rain over the philippines that's moving away that was going towards taiwan and the eastern parts of china could be pretty severe. weather sponsored by qatar. a diagnosis that used to be a little bit. what we're trying to do is energize them it's like a rocket that can recognize the cell so you think you know finding the cancer

that's exactly you've had some pretty amazing results unless. you can get work you . know this time on al-jazeera. this is a really fabulous news for one of the best i've ever worked in there is a unique sense of bonding where everybody teams in but something i feel every time i get on the chair every time i interview someone we're often working round the clock to make sure that we bring events as i correctly as possible to the viewer that's what people expect of us and that's what i think we really do well.

again you're watching reminder of our top stories this hour. north korea has rejected a u.n. security council resolution imposing sanctions that restrict fuel supplies and block pyongyang textile. careers envoy to the u.n. says the u.s. will soon face the greatest pain it's ever experienced. iraq's parliament has voted to reject this month's referendum on independence by the semi autonomous kurdish region campaigning is already underway for the vote which takes place on this on september twenty fifth bangladesh's prime minister she has and has promised shelter and food to thousands of muslim or hindu refugees escaping violence in myanmar she visited camps near the border and warned she will not tolerate violence against rangers. get more on this now from a tanveer chandra. joins us from cox's bazaar. i

understand you got a chance to speak to. the prime minister what did she have to say. well there are several other journalists foreign journalists who are some other questions about iraq so what's her view on the insurgency that me and my government is using as a pretext to crack down on their angle on my question she said that look we don't support this sort of insurgency will not allow any insurgent group to operate from our territory and will support me on my own cracking down on them but at the same token she said that we don't want what is going on we want the military stop cracking down on them she went to said as well that it was because of the insurgents the me and my started cracking on guns cracking down on their own hangouts so she was a bit critical about the insurgents group so very very adamant about not letting an extremist group are insurgents group to operate out of a bangladesh of course he went to say many things out there like she's much more

conciliatory to the recognition she told the local population to hand out all kind of support and to be nice to them not to harass them this is far different than about a year ago she had much of a good stand on growing are actually just coming inside bangladesh this time she's very conciliatory however just like in the parliament last night and today she said that she wants me and my government to stop cracking down on their own guys take back directly jails grant them citizenship she's very adamant on that she's also started off a diplomatic initiative with the corn minister persuading india and china to persuade me and mark to stop this crackdown because bangladesh do not have that kind of leverage on me and my diplomatically. india and china and that has a lot of economic interest with me and mine as well the united states also the region is strategically located it falls on that china's one ballot initiative india's connectivity and also american strategic silk road strategy rather.

considering all those in context this region is becoming strategically important and this crisis if it goes beyond what it is now it could hamper everybody so it's everybody's interest to write back to diffuse the situation she went on to say that you'll speak about this and united carry on the united nations general assembly bring up the topic and she'll do her best to persuade other international community to press ahead me and my to stop down just cracking down she was however not very critical about on tanks o.t.c. directly didn't want to criticize actually said i was the military jumped up behind who's behind this can be a thank you ten beach area near the bangladesh me and my people. a more on the new sanctions on north korea these measures are some of the toughest placed by the u.n. security council take a look at the countries that north korea relies on for its needs according to south korean data china supplies most of north korea's crude oil at five hundred thousand

tons a year north korea has virtually no domestic oil production and has imported crude from russia and china much of north korea's energy is supplied by the huge amount of domestic coal it produces and the ban on north korean textile exports is expected to hurt badly this is pyongyang second biggest export and it is worth more than seven hundred million dollars a year of it to get our is director at the china national association of international studies he joins us now from hong kong good to speak with you again so talk to us. it was reported that the u.s. wanted some tougher sanctions than what they actually ended up with here and that was largely down to china's jacksons talk to us about that. first of all i think the recent as collation of tension on the korean peninsula

caused by the new nuclear weapon testing as well as launch vehicle testing has really pushed the situation almost to the tipping point and this time the united nations security council adopted new and unprecedented sanctions against b.p. our care and china has signed up with these sanctions and i believe china will do its job to feed fully and accurately implement the sanctions against d p r k of course there are some differences of opinion between china and the united states as to how much these sanctions should goal and whether there should be other options against the nuclear weapons program i think it requires more effort between china and the united states to talk between them and tried to maximize their common ground and tried to see more and more i to i on this very very imminent threat to peace and stability course by the nuclear weapon program of d p r k we should wave no not wave at all in achieving that

denuclearization call on the korean peninsula that goal must be achieved at whatever the cost or you said things had reached a tipping point and that and china's goal is for denuclearization in north korea so why why couldn't these sanctions have been tougher then is it because. they would have had a negative effect on china as well. no i don't think so i think sanctions themselves in a situation involving a nuclear weapon program are necessary but not sufficient eventually i think to really achieve denuclearization it or would require more actions especially on behalf of the united states i think the real crux of the matter in the escalation of the tears on the korean peninsula involves the tension between d p r k and the

united states united states a need to do more to understand what exactly is the underlying reason giving rise to the nuclear weapon program by the p r k and address these reasons accordingly eventually i hope united states can negotiate with each other and china will be very happy to assist in this process and eventually a peace treaty can be signed involving the situation on the korean peninsula hopefully relations between. the united states can become normalized there need to be more to promise e. and negotiation on the ground between the united states and d p r k that probably is a very essential precondition for achieving denuclearization on the korean peninsula good to speak with evicted gal in hong kong thanks. now the saudi led coalition fighting in yemen is being accused of war crimes the human rights human rights

watch says recent airstrikes carried out by the coalition were unlawful and killed large numbers of children it says twenty six children among thirty nine civilians were killed in five air strikes since june and they died when four family homes and a grocery shop were hit an airstrike on tar is in july killed fourteen members of the same family including nine children the right body says these attacks show coalition promises to improve compliance with the laws of war have failed to protect yemen's children rosalind jordan has more from the united nations. human rights watch says that the saudi led coalition carried out more than six hundred air strikes in yemen between june and august of this year of those strikes five of them were fatal we killed thirty nine civilians twenty six of them children human rights watch says that's all the more reason why two things need to happen one the

un's human rights council should immediately convene an international independent investigation during its meeting this month to look into alleged war atrocities the other thing is something which human rights watch and other n.g.o.s have called for in the past a relisting of the saudi led coalition on the un secretary general's report on children and armed conflict the so-called name and shame list in two thousand and sixteen the saudi government threatened to withhold funding to the un if any of the members of the coalition landed on that so-called blacklist under intense pressure the secretary general at the time bonn ki-moon relented and pulled the saudi led coalition and its members from that list he didn't came under much criticism and he in turn criticized the saudis and their allies for putting the pressure and not taking responsibility for their conduct in the battlefield now there's

a new secretary general antonio good dead ish and he is facing the same pressure to put the saudi led coalition on this blacklist one thing that isn't being discussed is whether the united states is lobbying on behalf of the saudis and the other coalition members to not be involved in this blacklist however earlier this year when the u.s. president donald trump met with saudi leaders at the time there were promises made that they would be much more careful in their air war against the who these and others affiliated with them in the civil war in yemen will course. we'll have to wait find out when the final report comes out whether antonio guterres gave in to this pressure from the saudis and their allies or whether he is listening to human rights organizations and trying to hold people accountable for their conduct during war time. demonstrators are gathering in paris to protest president emanuel plans to reform french labor laws it's being called a day of action by the c.g.

team union but not all unions are taking part in the turnout will be an indicator of how much opposition president mccraw faces from the country's influential workers and unions paul brennan is live for us now in paris so poor labor reform is one of central policy promises but the unions look to terming to frustrate him. i think. well it seems that way yes i mean and i will not grow on the when he was an economics minister it was one of his pet projects to try to modernize the french economy it's still one of his central policies now that he's president but the unions are very concerned about what they see as a diminishing of their influence over the french in just industrial landscape basically many of the proposals that want to put into law before the end of september include for example putting the unions to one side so that a company for example with less than twenty staff could negotiate pay and

conditions direct with those staff instead of the current situation which is where they have to involve the union international level many people see that as cumbersome as saying it is a disincentive to expand and the other thing is that organizations such as the i.m.f. and the o.e.c.d. say that there are deep rooted structural rigidities in the french economy which lead to inefficiencies and are holding the french economy back and the difficulty that the unions have though is that they're rather fragmented there are reports that. before he left for some months in for the hurricane zone in the caribbean and i said do a deal. with a couple of the unions to prevent them joining this march and so all we have here today is the hard line public service. take turnout as you say it will be critical to judging just how strong the opinion is among the union membership so speaking of turnout then how strong is is the support for this march right. well

they are just starting to assemble here in paris. behind me there are around four thousand strikes individual companies and firms that have been called by the sez you taper today and those people are being encouraged to assemble at around one hundred eighty focus events spread all around the country we are expecting several thousand at each so maybe a cumulative total in the few tens of thousands but as i say one of the problems is that there are many people who while they're against labor reforms don't necessarily want to be sat in the same boat as the hardline unionists so you know there are many people who would like to oppose the reforms and will but not necessarily in a forum such as this so turnout is important but it's not necessarily an accurate indicator of just what the public sentiment is all right paul brennan life which there in paris right. now security forces fighting armed groups in the southern philippines are focusing their efforts on

a strategic like last month navy seals intercepted several boats carrying weapons ammunition and material to make bombs. and was given exclusive access to see the seals in action on like my now on on mindanao. we've been given the rare access to join which is the elite forces of good looking military. the navy seals they specialize in counterterrorism operations and guerrilla combat they've been fighting armed groups in the southern philippines like the door yes i would say yeah an armed group known for its criminal activities the philippines the military has been warning for some time that the security threat to the philippines will only get worse as you have grown which is a departure from the. of the band of fifteen years. but. and they must be prepared to defend at the die for. months later
