Newcomers to the world of politics. And the price of exclusive travel five times last week, the Us Health Secretary swapped commercial flights for his own private jet. At what cost to the taxpayer . Hello and welcome. Im katty kay in washington and Christian Fraser is in london. There are two huge natural disasters at the moment. Were going to start in mexico where parents are right now waiting outside a school to see if rescue workers can find their children in the rubble caused by the quake that struck yesterday. We know at least 200 have died in the earthquake we dont know how many more are still trapped. Rescuers across the capital are working anxiously, in some place they are removing debris by hand and from time to time pausing to listen for any signs of life. A lot of the focus is on that Primary School where 20 children and five adults were killed when their classrooms collapsed around them. 30 more students are still missing. Aleem maqbool sent us this report from mexico city. All over this part of mexico, they are desperate for signs of life. Here a terrified boy trapped under the remains of his classroom. This was his Primary School, it collapsed just and start lunchtime when the earthquake struck, on top of so many of its young pupils. At least 20 and i would have been killed here, many more are missing. This school has become the grim symbol of mexico bouu become the grim symbol of mexico boult loss. Mexicos loss. Sniffer dogs have been butted to try and locate the children, who might trapped. The mexican president visited these school to see the rescue operation for himself. And there have been moments of hope. Several have been pulled out alive, but the window to find others is closing fast. It is today that the full scale of the destruction in mexico city has been revealed. More buildings collapsed overnight. It is extraordinary that, even though much of mexico city appears to be ok, you can turna of mexico city appears to be ok, you can turn a corner and find Something Like this, a building that used to be apartments or an office block, but where it has now been reduced to rocks and dust. And where people lost their lives. But also all over the town, there are lies of volunteers, people trying to help those who might still be alive. Here the rescue workers raised their hands to ask for silence, to hear any hands to ask for silence, to hear a ny calls hands to ask for silence, to hear any calls for help from under the rubble. But no joy this time. This cctv footage is from a shopping centre, and the roof against collapse. This woman getting out of the way not a moment too soon. On their mobile phones, people recorded cou ntless their mobile phones, people recorded countless shocking videos of buildings collapsing. Hey and office block. Here and office block. There is destruction and loss in mexico city, but the epicentre of this massive earthquake was some 75 miles away. The full extent of the damage this tragedy has wrought, the more remote communities is still unclear. 0ur correspondent is exclusively. Extraordinary pictures of the buildings. I understand that the buildings. I understand that the building regulations in mexico city where tightened after 1985, but clearly there are older buildings mixed in with those buildings that can withstand the quake. Thats right, and also there have been conversations about how many people would make modifications to buildings themselves and perhaps would not add here to the regulations which came in back in 1985. That is something that a lot of people will be trying to work out, in the aftermath of this earthquake. What went wrong and why did so many of these buildings . The figures we have now is Something Like 38 buildings that came down here ina like 38 buildings that came down here in a scarcity alone. A city that does have a lot of measures in place to prepare for these kind of eventualities, given that it says on an earthquake fold. There will be questions asked. You can see behind me, the building they are, it is a residential building, completely flattened. This is a commercial and residential part of mexico city. 20 people have died in that building that class behind me. It is also worth noting just how many people i have passed in this area who are out here, trying to help with the recovery. Not just here, trying to help with the recovery. Notjust people from rescue services 01 recovery. Notjust people from rescue services or the police are fire services, but ive seen students, volunteers flooding the streets. You may see some behind me. This is the official rescue operation, on the other side that you cannot see our hundreds of people walking the streets with bottles of water, offers of food, help, that really is the resilience that we often see in the wake of these devastating natural disasters. It is lunchtime there and there are a few hours left for rescue workers to carry on searching for people. Do you have any updates on that school, whether they have found anyone else . I dont at the moment. I have just got to this part of mexico city, although i was told eight a few minutes ago that one of the girls never tried to rescue may well be rescued now, they may well be pulling her out of the rubble of that school, but that is something i have just heard from people here. I cannot confirm that. There are rescue missions going on across this city, the latest figures that weve got is that 52 people across this city have already been rescued from the rubble, but right now there really is a sense of hope that, given that it has only been 24 hour since the quake, there still may be signs of life in the debris that letters this city, and that is why people are volunteering to give out water and help with the recovery could and also volunteering to pick through the rubble, often standing in silence around buildings to make sure they can all hear whether there is anyone in there, and that is the focus right now in the aftermath of the earthquake might just focus right now in the aftermath of the earthquake mightjust to see there are any other people that they can rescue alive. Eight a few hours left for them to be able to see things bubbly, what news of the getting from outside of mexico city . By getting from outside of mexico city . By the epicentre of the quake was . The epicentre of the quake was about 80 miles from here, many people died there as well. The rescue operations are also in force in that part as well. The focus in mexico city and why there is such devastation here because it is one of the most populous cities in the world. The earthquake struck at lunchtime yesterday, people wear on their lunch breaks, out on the streets, even today in other parts of the city that have not been affected, the roads are still clogged, when i drove to get here, it is still very busy. Speaking of mexico city, there isa busy. Speaking of mexico city, there is a lot of focus on the fact that so is a lot of focus on the fact that so many is a lot of focus on the fact that so many areas where is a lot of focus on the fact that so many areas where hate. In terms of the population, businesses around where i am standing here, have all closed today. There is three days of mourning here in mexico. A lot of people are just on the streets, given that the offices and residences are out of use in this area. Just try to do what they can to help. The second disaster that is unfolding is in the caribbean. Hurricane maria seemed to come out of almost nowhere. It has now hit puerto rico, with winds up to 250km per hour. This satellite image shows the category 4 hurricane making landfall in the south east of the island. Somewhere, under all that red, is the capital san juan. The mayor of the city said the devastation will be massive perhaps because it is not moving quickly. 0ur correspondent, will grant, reports. The longer this uncommonly powerful Hurricane Season goes on, the more records it breaks. Hurricane maria is now the strongest on to make la ndfall is now the strongest on to make landfall in puerto rico in almost a century. When it hits, it certainly felt like it. Maria approached with the full force of a category five storm, and only weaken slightly on reaching the island. Winds of up to 106 and five miles an hour have been recorded, as much a 25 inches of rainfall seen in some areas along its path. From space, the picture is even clearer. The vast on engulfing the entire island. Worse still, maria is moving slowly, creeping its way over puerto rico, meaning the window for potential damage and destruction is several hours long. The tiny island of dominica is in the path of the storm, and suffered some of the worst damage. The countryed Prime Minister described the situation as it was unfolding. He called the damage mind boggling. Puerto rico generally know what to expect from hurricanes but this is quite different. Hurricane maria, the sheer power of it, outweighs that of even hurricane which struck a week ago and brought so much devastation to the caribbean. The island was backed authorities try to prepare as best they could, urging thousands into evacuation shelters oi thousands into evacuation shelters or to seek refuge with friends and family. The federal Emergency Agency is also on hand, particularly to help with the days to come. It is too early for most people and that the records even think about the clean up yet. Many said they are not going to emerge until they are sure it is safe to do so. 0nce maria eventually moves on, they can begin to assess the extent of the damage to assess the extent of the damage to their lives and properties. But for many communities, maria has already finished off to the previous tom left behind. What the previous storm. A lot of talk about the rising sea temperatures and that is why storms are coming more frequently and quicker. It wasnt that long ago that people looked at mexico and the caribbean and said, the goals are angry with people at the moment, because this is just too much devastation being meted on a population into short a period of time. We will speak to the captain ofa time. We will speak to the captain of a british ship helping with the relief effort. We will see what their plan is, clearly they are going to be central to that relief effort in that area. The iranian president , Hassan Rouhani, says his country will respond decisively and resolutely if the United States walks away from the nuclear deal the International Community agreed two years ago. Mr rouhani was speaking to the Un General Assembly a day after donald trump described the agreement as the worst deal ever signed. Translation it will be a great pity if this agreement were to be destroyed by rogue newcomers to the world of politics. The world will have lost a great opportunity. Such unfortunate behaviour will never impede irans course of progress. As such, it belongs to the International Community in its entirety, and not only to one or two mac countries. None too surprisingly, he also shared some thoughts on mr trumps speech yesterday ignora nt, absurd and hateful rhetoric, beneath the dignity of the Un General Assembly. 0ur correspondent, laura trevelyan, is at the un. There is no surprise to hear that Hassan Rouhani slams donald trump and slammed his attitude towards the iran nuclear deal, but he has also said in the last few minutes that around will not walk away from this deal will stop where does that leave us . President trump said this morning here at the un, that he has decided what to do about the around deal. But he has not revealed what the decision is. There is a key meeting happening tonight with all the foreign minister s, so we will see what comes out of that. The french have just come up with some new proposals, but just consider the position of Hassan Rouhani, this is a ritual visit by the arabian leader, which denounces america and hold press conferences, but this is coming to years after the signing of that deal that lifted sanctions on iran, that has made a big difference to the economy of iran. The position of president Hassan Rouhani, a moderate, if hardliners in iran are waiting for this deal to fail, this is what they said would happen. That america would never go through with it. His position will be undermined, so it. His position will be undermined, so the stakes here right now at the un are incredibly high. It is tight rope diplomacy. Years of busy speaking at the moment because reuters as dropping lies from him. 0ne here says, that if the nuclear deal is changed, then it will collapse. It either remains as it is they will walk away from it. And yet you have Emmanuel Macron who is on good terms with President Trump, saying maybe there is a way to accommodate both sides. Yes, and Hassan Rouhani is giving a press co nfe re nce Hassan Rouhani is giving a press conference across the street as i speak. This morning speaking to reporters, Emmanuel Macron outlined to three new pillars that he said could be added to the agreement, very much going to was addressing the american concerns, so one would be something on irans ballistic programme, two would be on extending restrictions on iran. The americans are upset about the magneto with the americans they are run a sponsor of terrorism, that is not for the agreement is about. France also said perhaps we could address the question of ans role in the region. Whether this would fly, let alone with a run but russia and china who are the signatories, it is all very contradicted. If President Trump has decided to withdraw, that would mean that congress could reimpose sanctions on iran and on those European Countries that are now trading with around. It could be a big mess. The United Nations a big mess, who would have thought. Lets get some reaction to all of this the global view. Richard haass is president of the council on Foreign Relations and author of a world in disarray hes in new york. No surprise perhaps that the un is ina bit no surprise perhaps that the un is in a bit of no surprise perhaps that the un is ina bit ofa no surprise perhaps that the un is in a bit of a mess, no surprise perhaps that the un is in a bit ofa mess, but no surprise perhaps that the un is in a bit of a mess, but after two mac days of the new nga, when it comes specifically to the question of iran, are we the world in a Better Business in the less good position that we work with mac about the same position. You have notjust the same position. You have notjust the question youve just been discussing about the nuclear deal, but it doesnt take place in a vacuum. Iran has become a very capable, imperial power, its footprint is large all over the region. The question is, how do you manage this Nuclear Issue in this larger context, and which a lot of iran is doing is problematic, for the United States and for many other countries closely associated . The United States and for many other countries closely associated . There is also some resistance, you sort Emmanuel Macron x proposing amendments will start resistance from European Partners to walk away. Do you think the tone of mr trumped speech to the nga put some pressure on Public Opinion in some of those countries in europe, and might make it harderfor some of countries in europe, and might make it harder for some of those leaders to Corporate America have they do not if they want to walk away . Possibly. It was not an exercise in diplomacy. We heard from the president yesterday, there are some legitimate concerns about the Iranian Nuclear agreement, i do think that some of the provisions are way too short lived, i would have had them be much longer if not open ended. But the real question is whether the president S Performance makes it more less likely that others will stick with us. I will say perhaps less likely. I met with Hassan Rouhani, i will be meeting with foreign ministers, and i detect zero interest on the iranian side to renegotiate the agreement. If the us and others want to, one particular would be prepared to offer the iranians to offset that as sweeteners. I havent heard anything along those lines. The Un General Assembly if they were tied a speed dating, so you have all these leaders coming up against each other, President Trump has been meeting manager baas, an important yearfor meeting manager baas, an important year for the palestinians because meeting manager baas, an important yearfor the palestinians because it is the fierce as the occupation of the west bank. Is there really capacity to look at that when youre dealing with north korea and iran . What you dont have is the prozac was it for progress. The Israeli Palestinian issue is about as im right for political or diplomatic progress as you get. Given the nature of the israeli government, the divisions within the palestinian world. It is not a question of bandwidth, you just dont have anything to work with. The trade offs are realise you suggest, between the reigning agreement and in three in agreement. The latter. If the us move unilaterally to break the iran agreement, it makes it much more difficult to get any sort of agreement with the north korean. I think there is a connection there. There was also the issue of whether the United States and europeans really what another crisis. The north korean crisis is hurtling at ca rs north korean crisis is hurtling at cars with alarming speed, the iranian crisis would be one that be would choose to add to the mix, and thatis would choose to add to the mix, and that is
