11:02 pm
which effectively took over the authorship and you served the work on the text behind the scenes at various levels, twisting the hands of regional representatives, the text lost more and more important provisions with each new revision. colleagues, this is a tragic moment for the security council, not a moment of triumph for multilateral diplomacy, but huge on principle blackmail. it is an open defiance on the part of washington of the suffering of the palestinians and of the aspirations of the world community toward an end to it. the security council is essentially being asked to stay out of the way while the us twists its arms in the region, not for the sake of peace as my american colleague claims, but to ensure washington's narrow self interest. well, the 15 member body that leads the united nations finally approved a resolution regarding the situation in gaza. now for weeks, the un security council has been delayed. but finally, there was
11:03 pm
a resolution that the united states did not detail 13 countries voted in favor of it, the united states and russia both of the state. and afterwards the us representatives spoke highly as if this was a great step forward for the protection of humanitarian concerns and the ongoing fight and gaza. here's what the us representative had to say. since the start of this conflict, the united states has done work tirelessly to alleviate this humanitarian crisis. to get life saving assistance and to gaza and to get hostages out of gaza to push for the protection of innocent civilians and humanitarian workers. and to work towards a lasting peace. but today this council provided a glimmer of hope amongst a sea of imaginable suffering. today this council called for urgent steps
11:04 pm
to immediately allows safe and hindered and expanded humanitarian access. and to create the conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities. i'll note that this is the 1st time this counsel has used this language language we believe is critical to scaling up aid and underscoring the tough steps ahead. as we work together to achieve a lasting piece. but the reality is that the situation on the ground in gaza is dire. 20000 civilians have already died and the body count is rising. death toll continues to increase. however, uh the resolution that was passed and did not call for a ceasefire and did not restrict israel's activities. site was simply allowing some humanitarian aid to go through china. i spoke before the counsel and expressed some disappointment with the resolution. they ultimately voted in favor of we welcome
11:05 pm
the adoption of the straw resolution. there were quite a number of adjustments to the text in some important aspects. those adjustments and not consistent with the efforts we have made. they do not meet our expectations, given the urgency of the situation on the ground, the humanitarian catastrophe and goals are that is getting more diet by the day, the counsels carnes action office, at least the glimmer of hope for increased in the expedited deliveries of humanitarian aid to garza now, the palestinian representative who spoke before the council describes the dire situation of the lack of access to medical care, the lack of access to electricity. the fact that journalists and humanitarian workers have been killed and have been in harm's way, the palestinian representative described how the whole world is outraged by what israel was doing and the blatant atrocities being committed by his brailey forces. this concept 1st met to address this grave crisis when hundreds of palestinians
11:06 pm
had been killed by his, the occupying power. and it's cj and the aggression on the guys us through the consul is now meeting of the over $20000.00 palestinians, have been killed. almost half of them children. no one should forget. that's what we are talking about. a 2300000 palestinians who have been fighting for their life and facing death every single day for 75 days. this requires an immediate fuel money to audiences via now back by 153 states around the world. there is no way to stop the war, crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide under way, but an immediate cease by it. now israel spoke before the council and described its
11:07 pm
activities as necessary in order to stop terrorism and described how the condemnation coming from international bodies and from various different voices around the world. the simply the singling out of the israel, the targeting and demon is ation of israel. is this council 6 to end to still it is . it should start by supporting israel's mission of returning hostages and eliminating the almost threat at the very least must prevent from us, is empowerment. just as discounts that he's committed to increasing aid. it should also be committed to blocking the smuggling of onto the transport weapons to the how much terrace. and just as this council is committed to ensuring a reaches goals and civilians, it should also be committed to ensuring the said aid is not the ability to come up stairs. we do not care about the civilian population. the focus of any resolution should also hold from us accountable, well taking every step to prevent them from intrinsic themselves and regaining power. united states continues to protect israel and this resolution. ready is very
11:08 pm
much the result of many efforts by the united states to make sure that no resolution was passed by the council. that condemned is rarely activities or demanded a halt or a ceasefire. now the united states does not only want to be the protector of israel and the international arena, but he wants to be a backer of israel. we have a situation where the by the administration is calling for 14000000000 additional funds. $14000000000.00 additional dollars to be sent to israel in order to enable them to continue their operations in gosh, which are being condemned widely by the world. so the united states seems to be pretty solidly behind israel, despite international outrage about as rarely activities. there's talk and further escalating us support for israel, a mid international condemnation. we discussed the resolution with dan cove, all like human and labor rights lawyer who says you wanna see doesn't specify how the aid should flow in the gaza. which reduces the agreement to just empty words.
11:09 pm
the security council resolution as it's written, and it was written by the us and the you a with, with the intention that it has no t. it's a nothing. it does say that, you know, humanitarian aid should be freely flowing into a dog up. it doesn't say how that's going to happen. in fact, it says the u. n is not to be overseen that. so what's the mechanism for unfortunately this? there is no. so it's just empty words, there's no ability under this resolution to ensure that israel will comply. and by the way, what does it even mean when israel is still denying the population water and electricity right now, the entire population of gaza is starving. all of the world food agencies are say, and this will not change that because visual wants to star these people and this won't change that. the us shares,
11:10 pm
israel's goals in gaza and that is destroying the population of gaza and moving it into the sinai desert. there's a number of reasons the us shares this goal, one of which is uh, the massive amounts of natural gas found on the coast of gaza, which the us initial cabinets. they also want to build this big gearing canal. they want it for a long time as an alternative to the suez canal, which would go right to gaza. um, so they share the goals of issue in demolishing the the, the population of gossip. so they don't want to cease fire. they want this war to continue and they're helping it continue. palestinian authority is say the death toll and gaza has surpassed 20000 and there is no longer a functioning hospital in the north of the enclave. as according to the world

spoke to professor siad mohammed mirandi from the university of toronto, who says, make a hell is remarks reveal the ignorance of american politicians when it comes to understanding the middle east? first she also mentioned you rocked and then the 2nd time around she mentioned she named ryan. and i think it means that she doesn't know the difference between iran and iraq. and that i think is reflective of the general ignorance that exists in the united states about our region. not only is the united states and its leadership, supportive of genocide in gossip. and the mass killings that we're seeing in the west bank over the past 2 and a half months over $300.00 palestinians have also been slaughtered in the west bank, including children below the age of 10. so not only do they support that, but they are ignorant in their support of this really regime. and she is
11:22 pm
openly advocating actually cleansing, in other words, expel the native population from their homes. and which has already been done once because the people have caused that are from the whole of palestine to 70 percent of the people in gaza come from other areas in palestine. they were kicked out of their homes, they were expelled from the land. their elders of one of the or their fathers in grandfathers and grandmothers were murdered by these ran these and they went the, the right, the remaining population went to cause. and these are the children of those refugee, so she wants them to be kicked out of their land for a 2nd time. and they just simply shows how in humane and barbaric the political establishment in the united states actually is a former head of nigeria central bank is accused of illegally transferring the
11:23 pm

11:24 pm
related entities. the flood is also very important to note was in this investigation is the fact that m f c and that is currently in custody for a separate one. point $2000000009.00 rough procurement of food case and seems like you may be the served additional criminal charges related to this particular mismanagement off the central bank currency redesign policy. and it seems to be the redesign policy, which is the basis of this case that we're talking about, according to the report it was pitched to the then president. well, how much will, how do you it was executed without formal consent. it was moved to also the, the board in the central bank and this goodman and the former governor in hot water for issuance of currency. legally, the investigation is also shed light on potential crises and issues of the simple bands, ways and means including an approved financial statements and misuse of cobra. 19
11:25 pm
funds and the series off an authorized financial decision in which were approved and approved. and i located and they see the management of it is also around this time last year that marcia had been away from his home country for months, reported me solve, exciting, and an unknown country outside of the african continent of which was speculated to be the united kingdom he was elected to be hiding to evade a risk to buy. and i do as 2 people nice over claims that he had been involved, the incorrect activities, the at that particular time. his absence raised ambrose, the officer he failed to turn up to explain. the reason behind the redesign of the car is the bad nose. and the redesign has also been a big issue. nigeria, it has been weakening the cavity. it has been beginning the economy as well. that will even cases the way he was the, to the financing terrorism with
11:26 pm
a billions of dollars to some secret accounts, allegedly supervised by him. and at that time as well. experts believe that that's a hit this um do you by the way sion of the coverage that he created was right before the next is the 2 part to this. yeah. and that was not a coincidence. it must be a sub. and um, how many to harvey for a 2 year is that what was the nature of the biggest economy down to me? and he said he had no visits for the money to policy up. the country had risen to the top of his career as a young man to those who put him in position. and nature went into 2 recessions during his tenure. and it seems like a full president to approve and his allies of the law school that broke the camel's back was mc m is decision to introduce the the controversial comments to redesign policy that has put us in this conversation, guaranteed. and that these, unused talking findings and developers might to just be the end of embassy and his
11:27 pm
time outside. all right, that's what i do for me for now, but just stay with us. my colleague union o'neill is in next in about 30 minutes with much more of today's top new story by a a the
11:28 pm
it's amazing what can happen over the course of a few months, not long ago buying was in fabric that the us would vacuum great as long as it takes now, it is as long as we can what happened? no doubt the regime and to have this taken down the public. sanchez, i've been doing newspapers in 30 years as you may know into languages by the way. and not just here in the united states, but all over the world. and i've interviewed like 4 or 5 us presidents work to different television networks. and from all that. and the reason i say it is because i've learned that news needs to be honest and direct and impactful. and this is direct impact the,
11:29 pm
you know, i noticed recently the global summit, which are not supposed to be competitions. but they seem ways of li. like that's the way things are framing up both with for example, bring it's on the one hand, the summit and the june 20. on the other hand, both were held earlier this year, one in south africa, the other in india, respectively. and i think this may be a good time to assess what we learned from these 2, shall i say competing summit's. the brick summit seems to have put the june 20, kind of the shame. because it actually went as far as to put many of the june 20 countries on notice telling them in no uncertain terms that there were like economic tactics are not appreciated. so that's what came from breaks kind of targeting to 20 countries. and how did the members of the d, 20 countries summit response? basically by telling the birds guys that if they're going to point fingers,
11:30 pm
then they're going to do the same and point fingers back. and that's exactly what leading members of the g 20 did then by using their platform to go after russia and to go after china. no surprise their right from the do joining. all except for one thing. while the bricks, nations were united on most of the stuff that they talked about, the g 20 nations were not. i'll give you an example. india and brazil simply did not go along with a narrative and chose not to take part in the china bashing or for that matter the rush of bashing they just chose not to do so. despite what the other countries at the 20 were saying. it's important to know that that sentiment, their sentiment reflects a growing power shift from the global south where suddenly countries in both africa and latin america are pushing back pushing.
