latest north korea sanctions a small step for as pyongyang threatens to make the u.s. suffer. that's the heated exchange between the hitting nations as the gulf crisis boils over jaring an arab league meeting in cairo. what does that kind of the. people of. the bangladeshi prime minister promises to help or hinder muslims who have fled to her country but calls on me and ma to take them back. fifty five people are now confirmed dead in the united states in the caribbean from hurricane but are fears the death toll could rise further it killed thirty seven people in the caribbean when it barreled through as a category four storm destroyed much of the infrastructure in its path leaving the

. sixteen million people in the u.s. without power twelve people died in florida as well as four in south carolina and two in georgia has now weakened to a tropical depression but it continues to wreak havoc with torrential rain and flooding in the u.s. john holmes live for us in and that's one of the islands that was hit by hurricane john it's being estimated that the cost of rebuilding both antigua and the neighboring island of barbuda is going to run into hundreds of millions of dollars . yeah that's exactly right so far they put a figure on it the anti gun bob you the government of two hundred million dollars but it could go up from that they were saying at a meeting with the people who have been displaced from bob user last night the island of antigua where we're in now hasn't really been affected the tourism industry we just saw actually

a cruise ship coming in with tourists this morning just as we was preparing to head out to the island of bob you to which is really been very badly affected despite the fact there is only about forty kilometers between the two islands antigua seemed to get off scot free more or less was barbecue the was really badly hit so that two hundred million dollars plus the government is also sending going to struggle to come up with that money on their own they're hoping to sort of outside help that's already started to arrive from countries in the region locally the other islands have been sending help also one of the ministers has just told us countries like chile venezuela which has got quite strong ties to the caribbean has sent two planeloads this country and teagan bob you got to pull on to britain before but it announced its independence in the eighty's so also other countries like some martin that was also very badly hit has got a visit from the french president there hasn't been that sort of financial muscle

behind on seeger bob as it seeks to rebuild and i understand john that the government's now having to do with bob udas who left their island now essentially homeless because of the devastation on the island. you're exactly right there the entire population of the island that's about one thousand six hundred people is now in government shelters or in the homes of relatives of people that just wanted to put them up really in antigua we went to one of those shelters yesterday and it was a question sort of quite strange for us because we're seeing people we're speaking to one lady she was fifty one years old she was a mother and also a grand mother to eleven children and she said both my house and my daughter's house has been completely flattened we have nothing left we are speaking to another man who was telling us exactly the same story as well i think in his fifty's but despite all of their problems these people really remained she thought they remain

stoic they were playing dominoes and basketball and really the recurring message from the people from bob user is that they just want to get back on this island on their island they want to recover they want to try and rebuild as quickly as they can to the point where government officials and u.n. officials that we talked to the same they're really trying to set up temporary shelters on bob you to all thinking about that to try and get people back as quickly as possible john home on and on to go thank you very much indeed french president emmanuel mccall is surveying the damage on the scent martin eleven people died when how to know more tore through the caribbean island which is split between the netherlands and france was one of the hardest hit places knock on his promising to boost security as people rebuild it really did. the priority and what we're focusing all our efforts on is returning the island to normal life or as normal as

possible in terms of public order we have massively deployed police military police and soldiers which will come from this region and from france and from ghana boost the number of security and military personnel by two thousand and that number will rise to three thousand by the end of this week in florida millions remain without power as the clean up operation begins following hurricane a quarter of all homes in the florida keys have been destroyed and gallacher reports from miami. for days the florida keys were cut off but as residents slowly begin to return they're being greeted by scenes of devastation basic amenities like water power and medical services unlimited and will remain so for weeks if not months millions of homes and businesses across the state remain without power restoration is now a priority for officials bring people back i too am a lot normal life as fast as possible so we got a lot of work to do. but you're going to come together we're going to you know get

this say rebuilt. on florida's south east coast the cleanup has begun in earnest along miami's iconic ocean drive sands being removed his business is prepared to open the doors and ports and ports a steadily reopening to allow visitors to leave became in this morning i think we get on a cruise this morning but just as it was on the ship had to. be back until about five a.m. so we're going to have to wait around the next six hours until we can board basically it was a little hectic but we managed to get through it tourism remains the backbone of florida's economy hotel and business owners a keen to get the message out that they're open for business horton for our guests that we had here that missed unfortunately due to hurricane arma to get them back here on the beach so with the help of our team our family we want to get all of our hotels restaurants back going and will be open tonight in florida's panhandle flood waters have yet to recede and in some parts of the states tidal surge is still

a danger florida is used to clean ups and power cuts this state is hit by more hurricanes than any other and it was a large and powerful storm but thanks in part to accurate predictions well practiced emergency plans and a storm that quickly weakened the devastation wasn't as bad as some predicted that may be a problem next time officials tell people to leave but for now the state's focused on repairing and rebuilding and gallacher al-jazeera miami beach florida. u.s. president donald trump has described the latest u.n. sanctions against north korea as only a very small step towards dealing with its nuclear program the sanctions approved by the security council on monday where we could than the u.s. or originally wanted the draft was watered down to avoid a veto by either china or russia the new measures include restrictions on fuel supplies and a ban on textile exports from suggesting that much stronger action could be taken we had a vote yesterday on sanctions we think it's just another very small step. not

a big deal rex and i were just discussing. big i don't know if it has any impact but certainly it was nice to get a fifteen to nothing vote but those sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen on north korea's foreign ministry has condemned the u.n. sanctions claiming the resolution was fabricated by the u.s. employing all sorts of despicable and vicious means and methods young also promised to redouble efforts to increase its strength to safeguard the country's sovereignty its own basket or to the u.n. is threatening consequences for the u.s. the first coming. by. will make it to us so to create pain is experienced in its history kathy novak is joining us now live

from seoul and kathy north korea's initial response seems to be directed towards the u.s. but how is it being interpreted to war over the southern border in south korea. well the language coming out of north korea is similar to what we have heard from north korea before in fact even before the u.n. vote the foreign ministry in north korea had released a statement threatening the united states it's now saying that the sanctions are a heinous provocation and as you say that it will redouble its efforts to increase its strength and that the sanctions serve to view verify that the road north korea chose to go down is the correct one so what's of concern here is what actions north korea will actually take next we've heard several times from the south korean government that it believes that north korea is preparing perhaps for another missile launch or another nuclear tests that its facilities are ready to go if it chooses to go that way and we know that sanctions anger the north korean government and that it tends to respond angrily in the form of this kind of rhetoric and that

it's shown no signs of stepping back from its missile testing and its nuclear testing and i don't think there's much of an expectation here in south korea that the future is likely to be much different despite the fact that these sanctions were you man is new now to mislead supported at the united nations and kathy donald trump says that the sanctions are nothing compared to what will ultimately have to hop in homes that is being read and says crew. well that is quite cryptic well we don't know what he means by what will ultimately have to happen there have been questions asked here about the military option that is often talked about in the united states those questions had previously been put to the foreign minister and the preference here on the part of the south korean government is at least is to continue this pattern of increased pressure in the form of sanctions from the international community hoping that choking some of the north korean

economy will help force the north korean government back to the negotiating table but as we know this is just another round and many sanctions that have been passed and north korea has seemed to be able to get around those sanctions and in fact the economy has continued to grow so the path forward seems clear the south korean government continues to suggest that under the same under the right circumstances the offer remains open for dialogue but when the foreign minister was speaking recently she did indicate that it seems that the circumstances are not right as it stands to perhaps send an envoy in to north korea or talk about dialogue because north korea has shown no signs of stepping back from its missile launches and its nuclear testing and has not officially responded to any calls for dialogue from the south rob out in oregon so very very much in the. still ahead on al-jazeera the u.n. report blames israel's occupation of palestine for the territories faltering economy . and apple unveils

hey we're expecting it friday or saturday so over the next few days and we're just going to see these two areas of very wet weather gradually make their way towards the coast of china i don't thursday it's going to be taiwan where we see some of the outer bands of that rain and some very heavy downpours at that every further towards the south and there's that area of cloud there was a second storm now pulling away from the philippines so the philippines that is seeing some rather lively showers but definitely the worst from this storm is over you'll see more in the way of what weather there was we had through into thursday as well and plenty more showers stretching down through borneo is well towards the west just a handful of showers really for us in k.l. and singapore and singapore we should get to thirty one there with sponsored by qatar race. russian filmmaker andre negra some troubles at. of his home life to discover what life is like under putin the russian economy is in question tank unstable oil prices fluctuating currents the country struggles to make ends meet so

a very small step he suggesting that much stronger action will be taken against pyongyang in the future both korea has also promised painful consequences for the u.s. . a meeting of the arab league in cairo has descended into shouting as ministers from qatar on the four states blockade in the gulf nation traded insults . the u.a.e. as foreign minister said the blockade by his country saudi arabia bahrain and egypt would stay in place until stopped interfering in other countries affairs minister for state affairs said no evidence had been presented for the claims it supports terrorist organizations and called the blockade assault on its sovereignty on live television comes as the crisis enters its one hundred day on weapons team called us as a nonresident fellow at the institute for middle east politics he says the outburst

shows that the parties aren't close to resolving their dispute. i think that there are but it shows that there's definitely some strain being felt by cuts and i think they're probably quite frustrated with the fact that they haven't been able to negotiate some sort of resolution that the united states hasn't really taken a firm position to support them despite the fact that they host cent com and such a large base. and that there hasn't really been much pressure on those who have been isolating it to just stand down and they haven't really seen a way to to achieve an amicable resolution they haven't found concessions or or some sort of compromise that they would find satisfactory and so as a result there i think they're venting that frustration there's been a lot of harsh things said before this from both parties it seems like it's it there hasn't really been much movement in either direction in terms of finding any sort of way to to bring this crisis to an end. and i mean the thing is all parties

involved. you know engage in behavior that's problematic in reality and even the people who are accusing concert of supporting unsavory groups have themselves done so and it's serve their purposes and this is obviously this is a political dispute in which saudi is trying to exercise its regional dominance and and in their view i think the culture in its place in qatar is resisting that understandably and there hasn't been a lot of clarity on where this where we can go to bring this to an end at the same time on the part of the saudis i don't think the pic shown that they really planned out all the implications or consequences of this action before it started which is typical of what we've seen in this in this particular monarchy as of late and so we're in the situation where we kind of have an uncomfortable stalemate that's creating more tension in a region that frankly doesn't need it. violent as his prime minister has

visited one hundred refugees from me and loren promised that our country will look after them so far three hundred seventy thousand muslims have crossed the border escaping with the united nations says amounts to ethnic cleansing but she also says me and more will have to take them back one day from the long refugee camp in bangladesh reports. some of the recently arrived the prime minister who's giving them refuge sheikh hasina condemned the me and my government for causing at least three hundred seventy thousand people to flee across the border in just three weeks but she says they don't belong here. that man should take all this he sent back to do this. go back and also. and also.

that several countries specifically invited here including the united arab emirates egypt and bahrain are on the government's human rights watch list and roughly sixty percent of british arms exports go to the middle east accounting for five point three billion dollars in sales over the last two. years most of that business went to saudi arabia which according to many rights groups has killed hundreds of civilians in air strikes in yemen since twenty fifteen the u.k.'s approved almost two hundred arms export licenses for saudi arabia worth around four point six billion dollars now just this summer the high court here rejected a legal challenge saying ministers can continue to issue those licenses but there is growing pressure from campaigners and from britain's political opposition for government policy to change while those campaigners point out there's been a shift in public opinion in recent years the arms fair and the world wide industry that drives it shows every sign of growing the al-jazeera london

cost us more than double. those costs are passed on to the shoe factories which is struggling their customers can buy cheap shoes from china and turkey brought in on the minimal poorly enforced import duties this is the other side of the equation that the u.n. makes clear in its report not only do producers have artificially high costs they have to sell their goods in a market flooded with cheap competition imported from around the world with little control. the report talks of a denied right to development and the suppression of human potential with unemployment running at twenty seven percent water stopped off of labor goes. and lament. the fact it is. incentives to invest more they are living. in the. atmosphere the israeli government says the report contains what it calls biased and

unfounded conclusions and ignores economic obstacles stemming from the palestinian authorities with performers like as i'm sure tire preparing for the annual date harvest the main obstacles are israeli restrictions on fertiliser and transport to mediterranean ports and will. continue as cost the settlers five hundred sixty dollars and the journey takes two hours for us it's fourteen hundred dollars and forty eight hours time is important in our business the u.n. report says it's part of a wider picture of decline in the agriculture sector where israel controls sixty percent of the west bank's land and eighty five percent of its water while continuing to expand illegal settlements making it harder for any economic recovery to take root are a force at hebron in the occupied west bank. apple's unveiled a new line of products on tuesday that has technology lovers buzzing the i phone x. comes with new features and

the new i phone is the most expensive phone apple has ever released more than double the price of the first i phone released more than a decade ago leaving many to wonder if this new phone is nothing more than an expensive toy for those fortunate enough to be able to buy it in many countries the monthly median income doesn't even come close to the price tag of the new phone for example in brazil households make just six hundred twenty seven dollars a month in china it's five hundred fifteen dollars meaning a household would need to work two months to afford the phone and in nigeria at two hundred twenty two dollars the average family makes only a fourth of what one new i phone ten costs i think they stick the stick to their core principles of design first and excellence and they price it but those things in mind i don't think they deliberately tried to come up with an economy

model of things but yeah they have their target market and they stick to it on the streets of new york there were mixed react. to the steep price of. a lot of money right i mean. if you could do magic tricks. and future of the smart apple once again showing it's a company that can dazzle its fans with innovative technology but now more than ever it comes at a steep price. york. this is at the top stories fifty five people are now confirmed dead in the united states in the caribbean from hurricane that affairs the death toll could rise further ravage much of the caribbean causing mass evacuations millions of homes are without power for president emanuel serving them damage on martin
