5:00 am
again. well. there is no doubt that a lot of the arab region is one of the most vulnerable. in the world to the dangers of nation state disintegration and the ensuing creation of the fertile environment for terrorism and excessive bishan of sectarian conflict. thus preserving and reforming the foundation of the state is a fundamental priority of egypt's foreign policy in the arab region can be no way out of the crisis in syria or the plight of the m. and except by restoring the nation state preserving its sovereignty and achieving and and state institutions as well as achieving the legitimate aspirations of its people of. egypt fully supports a un led political solution in solution in these two countries and rejects any exploitation of these crises to create a foothold for regional intervention or enable in an environment for terrorism out
5:01 am
of extremism and sectarianism the same principle applies to our policy in libya egypt plays out over the room in support of we are building the state particularly with regard to the unification of the libyan armed forces so that they are capable of defending libya and country when they get dangers of terrorism and we must not forget about that a year has already elapsed since the adoption of the united nations action plan on libya which sought to comprehensively address the libyan crisis and no progress in its internet interview was made the moment of this requires a renewal of our commitment to a comprehensive political solution set forth in the said united nations action plan where to hold the loss of life. lesion of libya's resources to where is the reckless russian structural base then there is no room for partial solutions in libya syria or yemen crises of such magnitude require
5:02 am
a comprehensive and not partial solution us human. and moving to the state of reconstruction. mr president the second principle is the commitment to peaceful and sustainable solutions to international conflicts but this is there is on that of the united nations. by the commendable efforts of the u.n. numerous companies including south sudan the central african republic and. they have so far fall in short of finding a permanent settlement to such conflicts that there's also an urgent need to mobilize resources to help countries in conflict situations a jury handle it is that the institutions and the commands we construction and development is the fundamental issue here is to translate this principle into tangible support for national efforts so as to. overcome conflicts and
5:03 am
build states in accordance with their priorities while avoiding the imposition of alien models of governance and development or interfering in the internal affairs of states and violating their sovereignty and that the habit than we cannot talk about the peaceful settlement of disputes is that founding principle of the united nations an indicator of its credibility without addressing the palestinian cause it stands as a perfect example of the failure of the international system and to find this just as a solution to the conflict based on international legitimacy of an united nations resolutions the guarantee the establishment of a palestinian state with these jerusalem as its capital or terms of reference of this just solution and baram it as a final settlement they're well known there is no time to waste on such a debate. what is required is a political will to resume negotiations and achieve a settlement in accordance with these premises that is one let me repeat what i have said previous us. on this platform as the arabs are still
5:04 am
extending a hand in peace. our peoples deserve to attend this tragic june history and the palestinian people deserve to exercise their legitimate rights principle mr president the commitment to achieving sustainable development is a necessary precondition for a stable world order and the best way for the prevention of armed conflict and humanitarian crises. while we welcome the consensus reached in the united nations to. twenty and thirty sustainable development agenda. we have ever know that the implementation of the of the goals set forth in this and this plan require that we address the financing for development for the development conundrum this can be achieved through the creation of an enabling environment which allows for the free flow of resources necessary for development without imposing any conditionalities on and supporting national deficit
5:05 am
a mobilized financing for development of their form of the global economic and financial architecture cannot be delayed we look forward to the united nations to want to serve as a platform for developing ideas to achieve this reform. in particular with regard to the creation of mechanisms that would help hold illicit financial flows out of the valley ping countries and facilitate the return of these vital assets to the rightful owners. mr president the international commitment to the preservation of the nation state the peaceful settlement of this abuse strengthening corporation to achieve comprehensive development in the dressing in balances in the global economic system are all necessary conditions for any serious consideration of the revitalization of the united nations system and the restoration of its credibility . in order to implement these three aforementioned principles three main priority areas also need to be addressed in order to ensure
5:06 am
the credibility and the future of the united nations and the national order as a whole what is our first we need to strengthen partnerships. between the united nations and regional organizations. and here i would like to refer to the very successful experiment because of the cooperation between the african union and the united nations as a model to be followed. and to use the comparative advantage of those started. to deal with the serious challenges in our region which is the main aim of the united nations to preserve peace and. aid. for development egypt is about to assume the presidency of the african union in twenty nine and we look forward to strengthening the strategic partnership between the union and the united nations through programs that have a real impact on the continent and building on the progress made to consolidate.
5:07 am
the policy of the african union come for critical structure and development. this is in addition to egypt's hosting of the african union center for post conflict reconstruction development and the community of foreign states counterterrorism center second we need to continue our efforts to implement the initiative launched by egypt during the membership of the un security council to put in place a comprehensive international framework to develop policies and both cooperation in order to counter terrorism and terrorist narratives in this context we welcome the secretary general's initiative to convene the un conference on counter terrorism last june. following your degree view of the united nations count there is a strategy. you know it. as you're aware
5:08 am
where egypt is engaged is the beginning of this year in the comprehensive cooperation operation sinai twenty eighteen to combat and decisively eradicate terrorism this is taking place through a comprehensive strategy that integrates security ideological and development dimensions based on this experience on egypt overall experience in supporting counterterrorism efforts in the middle east and north africa i can assure you that with the level of finances the sophistication of arms and training as well as the means of communication obtained by these extremist groups what and. what the facilitator of movement and travel of foreign terrorist fighters who go into the inevitable need. to develop the global system to come back terrorism wherever it exists. and to. cut off its sources of support in every possible way third we need to address the major shortcomings of the international community's handling of human rights issues the credibility of the united nations
5:09 am
cannot be restored as long as millions continue to suffer extreme poverty live under foreign nicole occupation or fall victim to terrorism an armed conflict in the hammered protection of human rights will not be achieved through media defamation or the politicization of human rights mechanisms while ignoring them to tackle all human rights in an equitable manner including economic social culture and cultural rights on equal logic has a solid cause as usual foundation for the protection of human rights. in its most noble manifestation major strides have been achieved in the field of women and youth empowerment women hold twenty five percent of the steel post some more than fifteen percent of seats in parliament. we rely on the youth in all leading positions in the country and an international youth conference which are held annually in egypt in november have also become a regular forum for the youth to communicate. and raise concerns and we're
5:10 am
determined to continue to accord high priority to the issues of women a common economic environment youth science technology and innovation during egypt's presidency of the drug group of seventy seven china. you know as a practical example of our commitment to the promotion of human rights in a comprehensive manner. mr president egypt like the vast majority of the world's peoples and nations has a vested interest restoring the credibility of the multilateral lateral system of the united nations that is front of the forefront. we believe that the organization can overcome skepticism over its merits and create the did it say by restoring the lofty principles upon which this charter was premised. well i am acting according to the priorities i addressed and that reflect the aspirations of our people only then will our organization reclaim its credibility and our.
5:11 am
and our peoples regain their confidence but in the future of peace corp and respect of the other thank you for your attention. lord help us and for the good of all of our. long leave egypt lovely easy its long live shots i want to. get from president of the better to see the addressing the united nations general assembly talking from the u.n. to regain its effectiveness and to the need to restore the credibility of the multilateral system he had a strong statement about the nation state that the arab region was made to disintegration of the nation states and causing problems like armed conflict illegal migration and terrorism let's bring in our own joins us live from u.n. headquarters in new york interesting take there from the gyptian president arguing for a multilateral system but basically saying it's not working at the moment. indeed
5:12 am
the way has been blasting the international the un institutions saying that they need to be a genuine reform for people in the millions of people suffer from poverty hunger inequality to maintain faith in the in international institutions by the same time interesting take from the egyptian president when it comes to his vision about how to maintain stability as yours said norah has been saying that we need to maintain the nation state and from the perspective of the egyptian president either to the emails that it's better to consolidate strongman like president bashar al assad in syria general hell if i have to be a say as a guarantee against any further instability or the presence of militias on the
5:13 am
ground that's not a view which is widely shared in the arab world but it has sisi considers the arab spring to be. main reason for instability but millions on the street will tell you that they're out of seeing was an ox cry against tyranny and dictatorship has a variant of this species been praising the track record of egypt when it comes to what he said is consider dating human rights and freedoms to know at the same time we've seen international organizations and human rights organizations like amnesty international and international criticizing what they said was. grotesque or travesty of justice when it comes to the clampdown on activists and the mass trials and the death sentences pronounced against hundreds of activists over the last few months but one other interesting thing he brought up was this idea of the
5:14 am
need for a global system to combat terrorism what exactly does he in visit with that you think. he's been saying over the last few years basically that this is the top challenge facing his own country particularly in the sinai area where the armed groups have been operating launching attacks against security forces and also against civilians president has sisi has been basically promoting the need for a new international platform that would tackle financing of extremism and also the movement of. fighters in north africa also in the middle east saying that given the experience of his country that has been struggling and suffering with struggling with armed groups and attacks by those armed groups it's
5:15 am
about time for the international community community to come up with a new platform and complete hansie of a plan to be able to tackle the problem of terrorism but then again at the same time his vision about how to move forward and what is considered. terrorism from an egyptian perspective that's where you get different views his on one hand. strong supporter of the really good general. on the other hand the internationally recognized government base in tripoli would tell you the same time it's because of that support provided to have to that we're getting more instability and more divisions in the. libya and the same thing applies for syria where the president. says the presence of us as it is then so for any way out of the crisis one of the activists of the syrian opposition would tell
5:16 am
you that if i said i said stays in power there will be no peace thank you very much indeed wolf more and they say we're joined by their senior political analyst now and bashar so interesting says he's become a bit of a darling for trump and also the e.u. been. to him for paris sorting out the migration crisis he says there that the u.n. needs to regain its effectiveness at. the same time that there's been a failure of in the international system so what is it that you think that he does he have a solution for making the the global international to work again is it do you think it's realistic sisi he does talk about his presidency of the seventy seven the group of seventy seven basically not allied countries and so on so forth but really it's blah blah blah blah blah you know i mean seriously i mean we've heard this month or is being repeated again and again blaming an international system and then that there the united nations is its member states the united nations is not some foreign body parachuted on the world it's not
5:17 am
a divine intervention the united nations is its members and the more responsible members are the more democratic members dictatorships like of the fatah has sisi are irresponsible members of the united nations so while even cc's detractors would agree with him about pessimism about the future of the region alarmism about the fact that the really and a good number of states are being. dissolved like yemen syria libya and so on so forth and they also agree with him but the urgency and the need to resolve the policy in question but they also would say his detractors that a broken clock can also be right twice a day. and then of the day why are these things happening why is the region facing such momentous challenges why are the nation states be getting dissolved in the region and why is palestine not getting resolved what the answer is the
5:18 am
a bill for the ccs of the middle east. these are the bible maniac firemen of the middle east they want to put off fires but they love. to just spread the fire throughout i mean they are the ones who are responsible the regional dictators for human rights violations they are the ones who are responsible for not resolving the policy in issue and certainly the counter revolutions are good for the s.e.c. for the for half that in libya bashar as in syria are the ones responsible for the dissolution of the modern arab states or they know all those who are blaming the internet's just them in the middle east are themselves responsible for the failure and what did you make of his idea that there's not a need for global system to combat terrorism is that just appealing to a kind of an idea that actually you know was around ten years ago or is it is it is it does he have some kind of new ideas on that there's one thing for sure we know
5:19 am
that since nine eleven. terrorism and counterterrorism have grown to be a major industries and a major preoccupation of the world and if anything the terrorist threat whatever it is of the united nations has not yet defined what is there is a man who's a terrorist and yet it's really a group of eating and it's getting worse and for egypt it's definitely a problem it's a challenge the question is as the turkish president and the emir of qatar and even the can give jordan we're talking about the root causes of terrorism and then the day you're going to have to address the root causes of terrorism just as you are combating that terrorist who are they are and to and to really take care of the grass to the roots of terrorism you have to address questions of justice or human rights of democracy all sorts of what the likes that of the fact that he has not addressed if anything in egypt today there are what sixty seventy thousand political prisoners in the country total repression of press freedom and so on and
5:20 am
so forth so it's the kind of injustices in the region that we're seeing by the contribution ari's and the dictators that are leading to more and more violence and more and more terrorism in the region really it's spiral pyromania firemen that we need to talk about here. which is over thank you very much and just a quick reminder that you know it's catch up with all the news that we're covering and plenty more on the u.n. general assembly on our website the address that is al-jazeera dot com and also watch us live on there marking on the live icon lots of discussion of course of the rouhani speech he was criticizing the u.s. and also trumpeting out this time at iran and in this case praising north korea which he lashed out at last year you stay with us my nigeria is up next and i'll have the news out for you straight after that thanks so much and seen a bit of. al-jazeera recounts the shocking story
5:21 am
of the assassination of count dot. tasked by the security council to mediate between arabs and israelis. his death would prove one of the darkest days in the quest for peace in the middle east. killing the count on al jazeera. right. let me ask what will be in five or ten years. what would you be doing where would you be what and who want to be in five or ten years be careful before you
5:22 am
answer be careful of your resume your hand i do sure you really want to answer ok the three of you are sure ok just to have you know i'll embarrass you with a question. and if you don't get the answer right if you leave this trading right away. and i'm serious about that. ok you know what i just did i've just presented to you what life would always do life would try to scare you. but all the bull would only those who are able to keep their eye on the all evil when they be threatened i saw that she was going to put i'm down here if it is among the top now . we're going to get biomass and then she put it off and i love the board that i see now that is the attitude i want all of you to have one of the questions that i asked him about the interview is told me how your field before and what you did about it because i think might be an opportunity. my name is being a i'm a social entrepreneur i am in secondary told by the many should have nigeria on our walk is focused on young people.
5:23 am
all of the fun. bright keep going for years in the mix on. my own. mind that one is potentially what the majority makes me of is the fact that for many years we basically said all the government to government hsu was that those sure those ideas sure. anything you would install. one also much younger than i access to a computer and i went out of my way to learn how to use it and so just as it did but what i do not train in young people connecting them with opportunities from
5:24 am
technologies. to get them into what they're going to and this is what the population multiplies its called small nigeria out through the first you will find people from almost every tried to be every time the. i have seen our eye cities kind of change a license. in my study and i'm going to school which is why i got all those you know idea and passion about technology from i was told by a teacher i would never want us not to use computers because you know i was really tiny and he was a big man he said you know you kind of fantasies there were like you. i cried. i'm of the millions of course we did not have tears in your eyes when you get into
5:25 am
the flow of the girls who look at you as a woman's voice so i think as a cry between the principal's office on my class i you know when you africa right inside i move our crowd inside before somebody said something up ok and you've got to be born until tomorrow on to every five of you right or you don't want to know so you could in fact i'm. the kind of guy you don't turn out to do something i would do it if you told me it's impossible i take it as a challenge like you're saying or. i don't know what we're talking with until you were there we're told he said see you are you sure. he's in there now good if you're. in one incident and that's because what we offer a very simple scene you have this community doesn't exactly inspire but if you go
5:26 am
through this process you will become a role model for everyone else in the community. all of them this is what i learned in my short years of going from the young man who was told he would never want to not use computers to become you know one who travels the water discourse the same thing called computers that there's a blend what if we put together to start the curriculum here what it really is and if you thought you could be introduced into this. we're transforming center. what i basically want to communicate to them is one thing these seven weeks will change your life if you allow them to.
5:27 am
my do so because. last year i wanted to write an exam the exam was busy on a computer so there is no i came to be was just to learn a. new word to me because i was thinking people. and i even had been thinking that it is only. when i came to him while i was really surprised that even if it could be done for a very wonderful for me. color sat down. in a condom propre. or in
5:28 am
a nylon. bag and were made into many schools or in some your own words is a question parents are hours absent. baidu unable to variable or the lessons even the lessons i went we were not able to wear wanted to. money. this film is to train you and help you over the next few years to write what do you see as old you know the next two to three years. i've been. to be with ok well i'll be doing what he was walking the street in before. so how did you hear about the.
5:29 am
impression i'm getting is that. somebody told me all that stuff i was like all that stuff. not so much but that's this. you should never have life or something you don't want to but i mean honestly you know you think it's an opportunity you just want to apply for when you should you should get some more information. with all sorts of people from d.c. interested to see. this is the only opportunity all getting my life to. this. point i mean it would even if i live in the nice is an opportunity that little bit of work that if. you're. the kind of
5:30 am
people who are looking for from very very blue background who would otherwise not be able to afford this kind of training that's one of the things that if you are selected and win from this program to make money from your skills to be corpus and we're looking for is someone who is already on a path to unemployment and to the bottom of the pyramid we can tell that they're just looking for opportunity. to make themselves better. because once you have one person you have them literally. my name is in my care for a friend of my would know about being when the plane was recruiting new persons and he brought to the form to him i was like there was these i don't usually believe what you like get in the simple dad does it please that and yourself impact into
5:31 am
you without you being a dying or is like wow is this happening in this place so i say ok let me give it a try i had to call man i saw it i saw it for myself i'm it was a really wonderful. yeah there's my home there's reality. there's my mom. this is old and leaving for. then he says to doesn't fall as you would make it eleven years and my mom and my older sister sleep on the bed here my older brother stays on this place and this chair yeah and i myself i sleep here is where i sleep. so that's my old. gear. so this drug has been something else do something good annoys me to d.d.
5:32 am
don't you know would i have passed through. that was even one of the the years that my mom she nearly wanted to drown inside the ocean but my. been very small so out there on. my court. because i know what she wanted to do she wanted to get us if she. didn't. do. it you. told us all computer in use that you need in nigeria but we're different in the sense that our training is more for cost is not even for cost or niceties so what we see is that our world is. a youth equal opportunities that's why we go to the life program it's focused on life skills because these are kids who have been beaten by life so we visit to make them understand you can actually do something we have i said to me
5:33 am
just also one of the four different things we do that is financial rate is on the last part of it's into pretty much it it's a busy week on the show your i would use something you know and i would imagine i would tell you to understand what you need showing off it basically means open your eyes because that opportunities the reason you can see them is because you will open your eyes wide you know. if. if seen many people under street just. change if. a worse. if p.v. could transform my income in my mind that my way of reasoning believe those people out there they can also possible. he is anything between fifteen and eighteen million most of the people you would
5:34 am
find our young people we just left school and are trying to be carded living for themselves. every day does your hair money spent there's a reason why there's always like we're my dear abby is there always later you will buckle. i recently tried to avoid. if it was do not waste the resources explain it on my point is this life or prison opportunities and people would take it in different ways one opportunity you have right now is the seven retreat an opportunity i look forward to that of one young woman or that one young woman who will become the face of this nigerian needs more kind of people because we need to inspire our children. they need to bring it creative constructive thinking trigger it's mind so they can see
5:35 am
you can see the future of the council car they can have a big show in the future will anybody have these on these our screens. knows what about you know. i don't mean wendy oh you mean you can't. beat. a good scene. to the site yet. has it back. down each day and in this one and say oh only. one passion where it's just because i want them to be compact sedan while the bush campaign. theme says when you've got information free press a flap the right has been bugging you i don't think you know. that's not me what's
5:36 am
missing. is brain but our young people sees ok that this is very very meaningful he adds value to. what we tell everyone when they come for the dream and you don't only lend you also need to spread where you live and it's interesting to see how people like michael and chris take on construction and then turn it into something got to leave out and so one of them i wasn't surprised by the way to have one of the reasons that be in that is because that bullshit you. let me me. let . meagan plead. the best.
5:37 am
for. each of. you to. i don't like so when i'm in the car what i do then is to cut off on social media a conversation about up and because i believe that you know time and age is the least opportunity to learn how to contribute to national conversation. but it's time for be all you can be right he ought to be ninety nine point nine and our special guest for all of. your media the internet
5:38 am
practically every night you and out into the we've seen the level of involvement. completely so i said to people that all the you know if insulting about social media technology for some time around two thousand and nine by two thirds and we began to see citizens use the same platform to save themselves so somebody you're responsible you know but it put a person online so we had to see if this person saved up or some campaign by trying to fourteen we saw one of the most important ones was bring back our girls where one tweet from an event was were treated by someone else and then went all over the ward and became a movement going to twenty fifteen that is the same i'm in two of social media what we were beginning to see ok so fantastic you know what this conversation doesn't and here we know that you have a lot to say so thank you very much as your you can be us take it offline so i don't have one of interest. things about radio is that you have more radio don't you have internet and so when i get
5:39 am
a chance to discourse issues in radio especially when it has to do with technology i'm excited because then i know i can reach out to more people online and offline at. what i do is after he says well i don't know why i was not there to. see. those who knows me well basically have a network and you're going to take for me to like to refer to listed by it's a wash and so you have a float around you are you know running no or not take this is a long walk even so i think there are only yeah. there was that. one minute to talk before one of the first few things i had a problem with was the right in the shot description of myself. so it was easy for me to see you know i said see for development consultant or i.c.t.
5:40 am
expert but i also wanted to cop toward the spirit or on the side of me the citizen . not. really a virus now. here's the. odd. good afternoon. my name is being done. and i'm one of those who don't online advocacy offline it's sad that we're still here so as i speak to you today. my wife and i any time within the next two weeks we expecting our first baby and that instinct of a father is beginning to calm down i can imagine what it will feel like for a father. corera.
5:41 am
intent on voluntary initially what i thought was anything that was limited to technology youth and i joined in the same reason why i got involved with a girl from a kid not that was about young people it was about nigeria and the only thing i knew i knew to do at the time most music related. so the day. the website. what worries me is we've reached we're less than a million in a country where we need to reach thirty four million. that doesn't up in the night . when you know all the numbers for poverty levels in niger
5:42 am
and literally our work is to make sure that every young person that we trim is able to rise not just above the poverty line but is able to take the tire from really above the poverty line there are times we ask ourselves what os to do this. i want to go deeper into studying more about what i do what i love doing lego music is in there. every day good i'm green i can go to music and play my guitar and i can both to myself. i hold in a live by greece as god blesses me i'm going to take out of the country are to go and rest and enjoy herself because she's she's done
5:43 am
a lot of damage she says pastor a lot of ash and he still rests she needs to enjoy life for it at least before she goes back to god so now i see future i have much as was the one do very well as. being necessary impressed me because as he said why strike your statement he said when he was in school and it's a job is. not aired they never hear it and then all the while is that we know for here it's what we've got here going to be everybody has a past. it had been the only thing that struck you because it's just that is a good idea bus to get here and it said you can never be like this and he goes or it was what had been this. now you wonder if.
5:44 am
i think the first thing i hit me was to i want to raise a child in which. there were things that i. you know mark says to myself because i was raised here but i think you'll miss me if cause only reason my child in the country. and i also don't want my child asking me. that he wanted. to make my journey better was enough. i've got to see what i did.
5:45 am
5:46 am
think of real life. when i think of potential i think of what could be what is not when i think of action and i think of young people who literally go on and do something that they can be proud of and. and also the part of the story of much. larger. despite it turning to spraying it down and we do still have some rather cool weather into the southeast of australia today morning's still on the cost of a cloud easing through the bites sydney temperatures struggling to get to sixteen twenty one or twenty two degrees john also some wet weather here as well that will be welcome. to twenty two in adelaide so not too bad here eighteen celsius there
5:47 am
was well for the north or into the thirty's in alice and also in da weight and more of the same as we go on through our thursday by thursday we get to twenty two in melbourne temps to starting to recover in sydney but still a little below pot head cold enough so into detail and if the truth be known a little bit of cloud just easing across the north island as we go on through the coming hours temperatures struggling to get around fourteen celsius in open but twelve self's the top temperatures there for christ seventy on the gray side so some watery sunshine around here have you in the price as we go on into thursday so any getting up to around thirty eight in cross-checks and not much warmer in o'loghlin but largely dry dry to across the korean peninsula at the moment that mounts of cloud cloud to ensure good parts of japan slowly but surely making its way further north.
5:48 am
getting to the heart of the matter the three big challenges facing human crime in the twenty first century they are nuclear war climate change and technological disruption facing realities whatever it is they have to fear is not in me it is in the people of uganda hear their story on talk to al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. and i am in our entire this is the al-jazeera news out live from london coming up. in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country u.s.
5:49 am
president donald trump boasts about his achievement to a skeptical u.n. general assembly in new york. he also tacked to iran but the european union says it's sticking by the iran nuclear deal and will keep doing business for there up a terror on. more dire warnings of imminent famine and war torn yemen his plan to put forward for humanitarian courage or to allow much needed food aid into the country. and sport tiger woods is on the hunt again this time in france the american says he's focused on ending the way of a twenty five year drought of winning the ryder cup on foreign soil. donald trump used his address to the united nations to brag about his administration and its extraordinary accomplishments
5:50 am
a boast that was greeted by incredulity and laughter he went on to push his america first agenda his speech was in marked contrast to that of the french president emmanuel mccall he stressed the importance of global unity to deal with key issues like the conflicts in syria and yemen the refugee crisis and climate change our diplomatic editor james bays has been following the day's events in new york. when president trump came to the united nations the first of the world leader he met was his french counterpart. he and emmanuelle mccraw embraced warmly then known to get on well something that is perhaps remarkable when you realize as became clear in their speeches that they have very different visions of the way the world should be run trump's world view is america first with all the other countries also putting their own national interests first he laid that out in a speech that didn't get off to
5:51 am
