As criticism mounted against the Nobel Laureate to do more to tackle the crisis. Warnings of more danger as category for hurricane is maria on its way to the caribbean. Category four Hurricane Maria. It is a 8am in singapore and one am in london, and 3am in yemen which is suffering from the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet. 2 million children are severely malnourished and the country is also in the grip of the Fastest Growing cholera epidemic on record. 600,000 people have been infected and 2500 died. Last year, the bbc reported from one of the worst hit areas of the country. A year later, she has returned. A warning, her report contained distressing images. This is salim. A year ago, these images of him gave a face to yemens suffering. At eight years old, his frail body shocked the world and made the prospect of famine a reality. Doctors feared for the future of the country. At the time, there were over 350,000 children with this same level of malnutrition. That figure now stands at two million. One year later, im travelling back to his village along the coast. This region is the worst affected. The further out from the city you go, the poorer it gets. This is salim now. Emergency aid stopped him from wasting away. His growth is severely stunted. His brain irreparably damaged by malnutrition. Hell never live a normal life. His family are still desperate for food. I eat bread and tea, his mother tells me, if i can find some. Sometimes the sun sets and all ive had is tea, she says. Outside the house are salims friends and neighbours. Despair and hunger have spread through his village touching everyone here. Since we got here, people keep coming to us with case after case of severely malnourished children. Its clear that the situation here has gotten a whole lot worse. For generations, the people here have relied upon fishing to survive. But now, going out to sea has become life threatening. The un has recorded multiple attacks on civilian vessels. Ibrahim and ten others took a boat out last week, only to be hit by the saudi coalition. The saudis claim they only target boats that smuggle weapons. But attacks like these have left entire villages struggling for food. Its not just the fishermen that have been affected by this war. These families once had a business here, but a blockade imposed by the Saudi Led Coalition has stopped them from exporting their goods. Now their only child is battling to survive. Not all families have been left without aid. Some donations have arrived. This is abdul, when we met him last year, without lactose free milk, doctors said he wouldnt survive. This is him now. After our report aired, members of the British Public sent aid and supplies. The help has been enough to keep him alive. Yemen is the worlds worst humanitarian crisis. Yet the un say theyve received less than half the money they urgently need to prevent a country wide famine. The conflict, now in its third year, has created this man made disaster. Its people like this that are paying the highest price. Nawal al maghafi, bbc news. The situation in yemen is one of the more challenging issues that the United Nations is trying to tackle. Its General Assembly is in session right now. President trump will make his first address to the General Assembly on tuesday. Laura trevelyan is at the un headquarters in new york with yemen high on the agenda. The United Nations have called yemen a triple tragedy of war, cholera and famine. More than 17 Million People are estimated to not have enough food, almost 3 Million People have been displaced by this conflict. But it is also a conflict which is very complex, it sees saudi arabia pitted against the Houthi Rebels. It is really a very difficult situation and there is unlikely be a resolution because it is seen as a proxy battle for the region between the iranian backed Houthi Rebels and the saudis. Many discussions about yemen on the sidelines this week. So many points of discussion, north korea, the situation in myanmar, and donald trump making his first address to the assembly. Hes already been speaking about what he is likely to say there. Yes, donald trump had a vexed relationship with the un. As real estate developer, he wanted to get the contract to renovate the building some years back but was turned down. However, today he could return in triumph as president. Some trepidation here about the tone that he would strike, would he say the world body was obsolete as he did with nato . As it was, people were breathing a sigh of relief. Here is what he had to say about un reform. We commend the secretary general and his call for the United Nations we seek a United Nations that regains the trust of the people around the world. In order to achieve this, the United Nations must hold every level of management accountable, protect whistleblowers and focus on results rather than process. That was donald trump today, but of course tomorrow, he makes his debut address in front of world leaders. We are told by the Us Ambassador to the un that he will slap some people and hug some people. He is definitely going to slap the iranians. You can expect iran to be a big story tomorrow because donald trump is very concerned about the Iran Nuclear Deal in which sanctions against iran were lifted in exchange for them stopping work on their nuclear programme. Donald trump says it is one of the worst deals ever negotiated. A lot of behind the scenes diplomacy today, the french president meeting him, most likely saying it is maybe not a good idea for him to blow up the iran deal but we will see what Donald Trumps tone is tomorrow. Harsh words too, no doubt, for north korea. We will be following what donald trump says at the un headquarters. In some breaking news, two weeks after Hurricane Irma we are hearing ofa after Hurricane Irma we are hearing of a potentially catastrophic hurricane, maria. It has been classified as a category five storm and could possibly have winds of up to 160 mph. It is approximately 70 kilometres north of the island of martinique.

The singer has revealed that she has fibro myalgia, a chronic illness, which can cause pain all over the body. The 18 city tour, had been set to begin in barcelona on thursday. Lets look now once again at the roots of the crisis facing the rohingya people in myanmar. In 1962, general ne win led a military coup and went on to become the countrys longest serving dictator. The military passed many laws, including one that stripped the rohingya of their citizenship. Sharanjit leyl met pew way win, the son of general ne win and asked him about the militarys role in the current crisis. I know the bbc has mentioned it in the past, but the attacks on the villages, the 30 military outposts and attack on their rakhines themselves. Furthermore, this is the start of a fledging fundamentalism which we should try to nip in the bud because we have seen, it goes on, the problems that carry on. At the same time, we must alleviate the suffering of the people as soon as and as best we can. How would you suggest doing that . These people are fleeing myanmar because they are scared. I dont know if you remember that in the 70s and 80s, there was one flareup as well. At the time, my father visited Sheikh Mujibur rahman, said, all right, its ok, we can sort it out. We must live peacefully as neighbouring countries, let them come back. I think history tends to repeat itself and i think we should be able to sort it out now. What do you have to say to critics who point to him for all of burmas problems. These people were brought into myanmar to be used as cheap labour by the british and well, you know, after all these years, we cannot solve our problems but the divide and rule that was brought in to myanmar is to blame, of course. If you want to talk about my father, probably the Biggest Issue was the economy, as you just said. We stayed out of the vietnam war. How to you deal with them as a People Living in myanmars borders now . I think there will be a solution within a matter of months or something but this will be festering, it will continue going on. But myanmar, our constitution, is enshrined. There is no religious intolerance. Every religion is tolerated and we have a lot of muslims in myanmar who are living peacefully and its not a problem. You are watching newsday on the bbc. Still to come around the world in 78 days. A record breaking british cyclist completes his epic global voyage. Also, bangles and bracelets, how smugglers are turning rhinoceros born into jewellery to escape detection. 30 hours after the earthquake that devastated mexico city, rescue teams still have no idea just how many people have died. There are people alive and people not alive. We just can help with whatever we have. It looked as though they had come to fight a war. But their mission is to bring peace to east timor and nowhere on earth needs it more badly. The governments case has been forcefully presented by mr badinter, the justice minister. He has campaigned vigorously for abolition, having once witnessed one of his clients being executed. Elizabeth seton has spent a lot of time at this grotto, and every year hundreds of pilgrimages are made here. Now that she has become a saint, it is expected that this area will be inundated with tourists. The mayor and local businesses regard the anticipated boom as yet another blessing of saint elizabeth. This is newsday on the bbc. Im rico hizon in singapore. Im Babita Sharma in london. Our top stories. Yemen is in the grip of the worlds worst humanitarian crisis two million children are severely malnourished and a cholera epidemic is spiralling out of control. President trump says the United Nations is failing to fulfil its potential and needs urgent reform. And prosecutors in switzerland are investigating why tens of thousands of euros were flushed down some toilets in geneva. 500 euro notes had been cut up with scissors and stuffed down the toilets of a ubs branch and in the restrooms of three nearby restaurants that story is popular on bbc. Com. Lets take a look at some front pages from around the world. The New York Times leads with an an opinion piece by the japanese Prime Minister calling for solidarity against north korea. Shinzo abe says the world is facing an unprecedented threat and urges the International Community to stay united and enforce sanctions. China daily shows a plaque being unveiled at the new China Embassy in panama. The opening comes 100 days after the two countries established diplomatic relations in june. And finally the japan times reports that forfirst time, more than two millionjapanese are aged 90 or above. It says a Record Number of japanese over the age of 65 are still working, theyre feeling younger and more active than those in the same age category decades ago, and they dont consider themselves to be elderly pressure has been mounting on myanmars defacto leader Aung San Suu Kyi to do more to tackle the violence against Myanmars Rohingya population. Ms suu kyi is absent from the un General Assembly meeting, but she is expected to give her First National address on the issue that has brought her much international criticism. I asked nita may of the bbc Burmese Service what Aung San Suu Kyi is expected to say. As far as we know, the heading of the speech itself is National Reconciliation and Peace Process. She will mainly emphasise on Peace Process and how to reconcile the whole nation. Because she has always emphasised the reconciliation since she got into power. She is meeting with these ethnic leaders from time to time to have this agreement during her ruling. So, you believe that she will, after a lot of mounting pressure from all corners of the world, finally Say Something about the plight of the rohingya people . Of course, that is why she is talking in english. She was to make clear what she is going to speak about but for the burmese audiences, there may be some sort of subtitles. She is to let the International Communities know that she is in a difficult position. She is facing four faces, the military, the countrymen, the voters and the rakhine political parties, and the armed groups and the International Community. So she has to explain her status, her stance, to everyone. It is going to be interesting, to say the least, to hear what she has to say. Interesting you say she is speaking in english. How is this being reported by the media in burma . There will be a translation after that right away. In terms of how the crisis has unfolded, has much been said in the local media about it . Yes, they try to cover this news but as for the local reporters, they are not allowed to go to those places where the crisis is happening because of security. But the Government Committee issues statements almost every day. It seems they want to rely on these Information Committee statements only. Criminal networks smuggling rhino horns out of africa are turning them into jewellery to avoid detection at airports, according to traffic a uk based organisation monitoring wildlife trade. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill has more. It is estimated that 25,000 rhinos remain in the world. But in the last decade, over 7000 of them have been killed by poachers for their horns. Is unsustainable demand is why Many National parks have resorted to dehorning rhinos in order to protect them. In the past, smugglers would attempt to take in thai horns or large pieces abroad to sell. The latest trend is for it to be processed locally into small items that the collector, researchers describe as trinkets. The report by traffic found that beats, bangles and bracelets made from rhino horn were being produced in africa and then shipped abroad with most destined for vietnam and china. The new method of concealment seems designed to evade Airport Security and research is hoped that publishing details of this emerging trend will help security staff and police to spot it. The charity save the rhino describe it as a worrying development in a trade that at the current rate of poaching could wipe out the animals in the wild in as little as ten years.
