economic bonds form a critical foundation for advancing peace and prosperity for all of our people and all of our neighbors i ask every country represented here to be prepared to do more to address this unbelievably serious crisis. we call for the full restoration of democracy and political freedoms in venezuela and we wanted to happen very very soon. now trump's united nations debut comes amid controversy about the u.s. president's activity on social media trying straight up previously port accusations of behavior not befitting a head of state and in many cases contradicting official policy can be held to reports. yet another tweet an apparent poor taste this time from an account with a vulgar handle donald trump hitting former first lady hillary clinton in the back

with a golf ball not unusual for social media but what about when it's read tweeted from a sitting president many say trumps latest display of inappropriate behavior raises questions about whether the u.s. president is promoting violence on social media in july he retreated a wrestling video doctored to appear he was body slamming his arch nemesis news network c.n.n. . even though he's said to have reined in his behavior in recent months trump remains known for pushing boundaries and bullying adversaries from the moment his political aspirations surfaced laurie. trumped the little his rivals in the primaries and won the republican nomination many thought the release of this two thousand and five video of him making sexually aggressive remarks about women would mean the end of his presidential candidacy grandmother. instead he won the white

house his former chief strategist steve benen said in a recent interview reaction to that tape showed a general acceptance of trump's behavior among political allies and a bulk of america's voting public it's a litmus test still such tolerance has outraged some in america's political and media circles twitter blew up when the former white house press secretary sean spicer was granted an appearance at hollywood's emmy awards. which. thank you and me. the facts spicer was for the most part embraced by hollywood's trump hating liberals has left many enraged and frustrated by the deterioration of political discourse it's inviting us to engage in sort of a reality show celebrity politics instead of engaging with real substantive issues and for a president promising results many argue there are few accomplishments to show

fuelling accusations the acceptance of trump's brand of politics has come at a price kimberly how can al-jazeera washington now release twelve people have died and dozens more have been injured from a triple suicide bombing in nigeria's northeast borno state an emergency official says the attack is joined a gathering of farmers in the mushy mari village before detonating their devices the attacks are the latest in a series of bombings in the north east that have killed at least two hundred people since june first al jazeera says that snap chats decision to block its contents in saudi arabia is a direct attack on freedom of expression the social media platform says it was also . to remove the channel because it was accused of violating the local laws saudi arabia has about eight million snap chat uses one of the largest bases in the world al-jazeera says the move sends a message that regimes and countries can silence any voice they don't agree with by

exerting pressure on social media platforms has been in broiled in a diplomatic dispute with saudi arabia and three other arab states since early june when they cut ties with doha. and earlier we spoke to and various craig his assistant professor and defense studies at king's college london and he explains the issue of censorship. the issue here is that we have departed from conflict over interest in a conflict over issues and going into a clash over narratives where which is a closure or a narrative that's been fought in the public sphere it's about you know freedom of expression on one side and on qatar side on the other side it's about the monopoly over controlling information controlling the news that you know in saudi arabia and the u.a.e. in particular have clamped down over the recent years anyway on many of the social media outlets because the social media are generally very difficult to control and snapchat is just you know it's it's an app that it's been used extensively for news

as well i mean having al-jazeera implanted in the you know means that you know al-jazeera can circumvent the general blockade of al-jazeera in these countries and get information and news to people that might not be necessarily what the government wants to see so in this kind of clash of narratives and you know i think we the it's quite clear that the saudi government and particularly qatar he was running the government communications office is very nervous about your news that he doesn't approve being disseminated within a group of more than eight million people in saudi arabia that is something that could put could potentially spread dissidents and destabilize the country so they're very fearful of that. and the u.k. arms industry has made eight billion dollars from sales to saudi arabia this is since the beginning of the conflict in yemen two years ago now according to the charity water child the number is much higher than previous estimates has it includes off to cells and support for the weapons sold the report also claims the

u.k. spends more on humanitarian aid in yemen that it makes it a tax profits from the weapons sales and the impact on children in yemen is also devastating let's take a look at the numbers. since saudi arabia first began bombing yemen in two thousand and fifteen one point one million children have been displaced by the fighting their homes and schools destroyed more than thirteen hundred have been killed mostly by weapons sold to saudi arabia by the united kingdom that's despite the u.k. arms sales rules which say that if there is clear risk that weapons might be used in violation of international humanitarian law well then they should not be supplied warchild says the sales are not only an ethical but also a false economy the argument for in favor of a trade with saudi arabia is that it's very important to the u.k. economy. but may be the case may generate huge amounts of profit for arms companies

and terms what the british government of getting out of it are actually making a loss if you think that we're only making thirteen million pounds in corporation talk to year compared to spending one hundred thirty nine million pounds in aid trying to fix the damage that plants weapons of the kind that we're fighting for the regular doing that damage includes displacement and dwindling food supplies which mean that three million children are in urgent need of treatment for malnutrition while sixty thousand others a sick from the world's worst outbreak of cholera now the u.s. is sending another three thousand troops to afghanistan as the taliban continues to gain grounds in parts of the country american combat operations against the taliban officially ended in twenty fourteen but over eleven thousand special forces soldier made in the country supporting afghan troops in august u.s. president trying signaled that he would keep boots on the ground indefinitely. now a fourth day of protests is currently underway in the u.s.

separate their garbage to make recycling easier setting aside electronic components like television sets for instance but most of these piles include all kinds of. sort of material and the city says that's ok too the point now is to move the track if we can get himself or even give them a push toward their most likely. set up we will but right now if they're mixed in their trailers i'll do a piece of which you were going to pick it up use and residents just glad to see the debris that's been growing mold in the hot texas sun all the way we understand she's going to be big relief yeah just get it out now and then one but as the trash is removed outside it's clear there's still plenty of misery left behind city officials say this job could take three to four months alan shuffler al-jazeera houston. as far as police has seized more than one hundred thousand posters

the. us president donald trump calls for un reforms as he attends his fast general assembly and criticizes the global body for not living up to its potential. however i'm heading home and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up the united states asks me and maher to end its military operation in rakhine state which is pushed hundreds of thousands of our heads of muslims from their homes. caribbean islands prepare for yet another hurricane as cats or a former. the state is in iraq to hold an independence referendum despite a supreme court order suspending the vote. u.s.

president has made his debut at the united nations and over his asian he's slated in the past and he says the world body is not living up to its potential because a bureaucracy and mismanagement but this time he promised that the u.s. would help reform the united nations to make it stronger and more effective. reports now from new york. diplomats were wary about this trump's first trip to the united nations as president. trump has railed against the u.n. many times in the past suggesting it's inefficient and bloated at times this transactional america first president it seemed to question the entire international system this existence since the un was set up at the end of world war two ahead of the meeting

there was some unease about what this unpredictable president might say but he seemed concerned about how the microphones worked as written with its own results. when trump finally spoke there would have been a big sigh of relief felt across the united nations he now seems to be a friend of the organization. mr secretary general of the united states and the member states president to support. this great reform vision we pledge to be partners in your work and i am confident that if we work together and champion truly bold reforms the united nations will emerge as a stronger more effective more just and greater force for peace and harmony in the world so instead of declaring war on the u.n. trump seems already to be declaring a victory this turnabout it seems the result of an unlikely partnership between the

us ambassador nikki haley and the u.n. secretary general who like the president took up his post in january and tonio good terrorists is a canny political operator who knows how all this needs to be presented someone recently asked what keeps me up at night and my answer was simple bureaucracy fragmented structures byzantine procedures and endless red tape at the beginning of the year in washington d.c. i spoke with a senior white house official who said it was the administration's intent to gut the united nations that hasn't happened so for now the u.n. may feel it's dodged the bullet but this is an issue that will be revisited and it's possible down the line that president trump may feel that the changes that have been made are not bold enough the president will be staying in new york for most of the week he gives his longer formal address to the u.n. on choose day as well as holding meetings with other world leaders with north korea

high on the agenda james spays al-jazeera of the united nations the us president donald trump did meet with latin american leaders on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly and he was critical of the venezuelan government for its crackdown on opposition protesters. our economic vans form a critical foundation for advancing peace and prosperity for all of our people and all of our neighbors i ask every country represented here to be prepared to do more to address this unbelievably serious crisis we call for the full restoration of democracy and political freedoms in venezuela and we wanted to happen very very soon. mike hanna joins us live now from u.n. headquarters so mike there's have some pretty strong words from president on venezuela how is it received there indeed yes very strong words indeed

he's meeting with other latin american leaders the dinner continuing as we are talking the leaders of brazil colombia panama and peru conspicuous by its absence of course nicolas maduro the president of venezuela who has not come to the united nations at all he's being represented by the country's foreign minister now the issue of venezuela has been high on the u.s. foreign policy determinant and in recent days the trumpet ministration has labeled nicolas maduro as a dictator it said that the national assembly that he wants to rewrite the constitution is an illegitimate body so those strong words we're hearing from donald trump has had precedent from the trumpet ministration in recent days and weeks significant though that they coming at a meeting with other leaders of latin america showing that they are equally concerned about what is happening in venezuela and like there was also and meeting

on me in mar held by many foreign dignitaries which was hosted by the u.k. what came out of that. well that was a very interesting meeting indeed hosted by the u.k. foreign secretary long with the u.s. ambassador to the united nations now they have hosted a meeting involving senior members of my arm of burma as government the president of burma ma'am are not here at all and seen the however an ultimatum virtually was issued to the leaders of myanmar they were told in no terms by the u.k. and the u.s. that the issue of refugees must be addressed that provision must be made for the influx of humanitarian assistance to the ringers who are fleeing the i am our military and to demand that by and more military stop its actions so what is seen here is a different shift in the position of the u.s. and the u.k. with regards to what is happening in my m.r.

from dealing with that as a humanitarian crisis that's now being seen as a crisis that is resulting hello again look at weather conditions across the americas this time hurrican jose which is running very close to new england over the next few days and weather makes landfall or not still a very slight possibility all along the coast is going to be very rough for going to see a lot of surf and some dangerous rip currents of it all possible stay clear so there is the threat from jose there is that frontal system towards the some mid atlantic region there's not that area of low pressure across the north western areas with some snow really into the rockies so calgary really taste of autumn there twelve degrees snow further towards the north and then as we had a on through into wednesday dry conditions for many parts of the eastern seaboard but maybe a threat of some cloud from that system for new york so we head down into the caribbean the main concern is going to be development of hurrican maria which is likely to be a category three system as it hits dominica and indeed the northern part of the

leeward islands and it's going to run across puerto rico and all. into wards. at least a category three storm devastating winds of possible cuba still looking driver hoping the storm system will curve away and maybe only slightly with the bahamas a bit still a system which watching very closely. a deadly attack destroyed her family and left her badly wounded. for a long time from gaza to california and little girls journey and love her advice was very timid when she came over time progress she became our family. that would touch the hearts of the people around her ever i was excited to come out when i saw the situation. on al-jazeera wild at this time.
