areas. with 18 medical facilities and 17 schools destroyed or damaged in just 3 weeks there were even more powerful words from the un's most senior humanitarian official when i briefed you here on 18 september i said a full scale military onslaught could result in the worst humanitarian tragedy of the 21st century. despite our warnings our west phase and now coming true mr local revealed the un had shared the precise coordinates of humanitarian facilities with all warring parties so they wouldn't be hit but the u.k. ambassador then asked if it actually being deliberately targeted as a result mr president it would be absolutely grotesque if n.g.o.s and health workers providing coordinates to a mechanism they believe is there to assure their safety but finding themselves being the authors of their own destruction because it deliberately targeting by the

regime when it was time for russian ambassador benazir to speak he accused the council of double standards ignoring civilian deaths during the u.s. bombardment of the isis stronghold of raka but he denied his country's air force was currently targeting medical facilities for you but it's that we categorically reject accusations of by lading international humanitarian law neither the syrian army nor the russian space an air force is conducting has delivered against civilians or civilian infrastructure or you bombing hospitals in adlib ambassador or no outside the chamber but in his speech to the council the syrian ambassador bashar jaffrey said military operations were being carried out against what he said were terrorists they were he said operations that will continue it seems this meeting has failed to stop the devastating bombardment of it lib james pays out his

era at the united nations. a senior iranian politician has called for talks between tehran and washington after weeks of escalating tensions. is chairman of iran's national security and foreign policy commission intuitive that iranian american senior diplomats have rejected the option of war also said there are what he described as the parties rushing to destroy a large part of the world well he's calling for talks to be held in iraq all cats are u.s. president donald trump has offered direct talks with his iranian counterpart president hassan rouhani to discuss its nuclear program but white house officials say that they have yet to receive a response let's get more on this now from same bus ravi he has been following the story from tehran and zain in the face of mounting u.s. pressure iran's leader ali hominine has been very clear he said that there will be

no war but nor will there be talks where have these latest remarks come from. well mr felder is a senior member of iran's elected parliament he's an iranian m.p. and he is the chairman elected in 2018 of the iranian parliamentary commission on national security and foreign policy so it's a very important legislative body but the fact of the matter is that it still sits under the umbrella of the supreme leader of the coming day and so it doesn't necessarily translate into actionable policymaking the body can summon the foreign ministry it can summon the president and it can ask questions it can carry out legislation but it does so as everything here is done everything happens under the umbrella of the supreme leader and so nothing is actionable until the supreme leader says so having said that his comments do reflect a perhaps conversations that are happening behind closed doors about how to proceed

in deescalating current tensions but despite his very outspoken rhetoric the supreme national security council of iran of which president hassan rouhani is the chair did issue a statement in a similar reaction to what mr foley had said in that it said that the comments the personal comments from him do not necessarily reflect the policy of the state and in response to that in the last few hours mr falah. issued another comment on twitter sort of doubling down on his point of view and the only 2 some of what he said he said with respect to the spokesperson of the supreme national security council that council is responsible for making decisions on major policies of the country but they are not permitted to limit the making of comments especially since i believe in action on the management of tensions has allowed 3rd party actors to

have a negative influence now the policy the standing policy of the government throughout the course of what was initially an economic and financial. isis due to american sanctions has become a much more heated circumstance with american military hardware being deployed to the region with its focus on iran so far the iranian government has maintained this is psychological war and conflict actual military conflict will not happen but as the pressure is been building up this seems to suggest that some people at least in parliament do feel that more needs to be done to try to deescalate tensions and open another avenue for iran so that conflict with the united states or american economic pressure aren't the only options that the country house thank you very much zain best. well tens of thousands of pro-democracy protesters are on the streets of algeria for the 13th friday in
