find a binding peaceful solution to the problem of the renaissance than that protects the rights to for both the egypt and the sudan. we support peaceful solutions under the aegis of the united nations, to the crises in libya and syria, as well as all efforts aimed at achieving peace and stability. and i've kind of on the aspirations of the african people and ensuring the rights of all sectors of society. mister president's, we stress that these is the strategic choice of the middle east region, which goes through a just durable solution to the question of pat assigned based on the resolutions of international legitimacy, the arab piece initiative, which insure the rights of the palestinian people to set up its independent states

on the borders of 1967 with east jerusalem as its capital. the peace initiative in e m. n. fable by the kingdom last march. it ought to en the bloodshed and conflict it ought to put an end to the suffering of the brother, the many people. unfortunately, the terrorist whose the militias reject peaceful solution. they have placed bets on military option to take over more territory in yemen. they daily at that civilian targets inside the kingdoms they threaten international and navigation, and international energy supplies, the who's the malicious abuse of the suffering of the many people they need

urgent need for humanitarian assistance that dangers emanating from deteriorating safer as means to blackmail mister president, the kingdom is fully committed to the principles and resolutions of the national legitimacy. we respect the national sovereignty of all states. we stress the need for non intervention and the internal affairs of other states that gain them maintain is to get them to try to defend itself in confronting the missile at that ballistic missile that, that off jerome let the booby traps boats against them. we can go directly or reject any attempt to feed in internal affairs. iran is a neighboring state. we hope that initial with iran will lead

to concrete confidence building measures measures that will achieve the associations of our 2 people for collaborative relations based on that commitment to the principals and the resolutions of international legitimacy. the respect of sovereignty, the non interference, and the internal affairs of others. at the end of all forms of support. to terrorist groups, cherry and militia, that only bring war destruction and suffering it to the people of the area. that kingdom stresses the importance of making the middle east region, free of all weapons of mass destruction are we, they're both the international efforts aimed at preventing iran from developing

a nuclear weapon. we very concerned iranian sets that go counter to its commitments, as well as daily declarations from iran that its nuclear program is peaceful. that kingdom continues to confront extremist thinking based on hatred and exclusion. we confront the practices of terrorist groups, and sick darian militias, destroy humans and nations. this kingdom stresses the need to come, frankly, to robustly confront. oh, those who support sponsor, finance, shelter. there is groups as secretary and malicious. oh, use them to spread that chaos. destruction had gemini and thank you and may god's blessings be ok. we're just been listening that

to the say, the king king some been abreast of sal giving his marks remarks father to the un general assembly. he was keen outline what said he may be a staying in terms of the global corporate efforts pointing out how much should be pledged at by the size is also due to they've been working with opec and their allies to stabilize the oil markets. also repeating that piece is the strategic choice of the middle east and putting the pieces very much conditional on the palestinian people having their own states within 1967 borders with east jerusalem as if a capital and then ending those remarks with his repeated declaration of being they will non interference in the internal affairs of other

states appointed references to iran and its nuclear program at and st. quotes saying that a study ravia will defend itself against missiles attacks and booby traps boats. again, accusations, and pointing the finger towards their adversary in the region. let's bring in our plan to catch sir james bass, who was also listening to those remarks. james, that's abroad. i would like to be of what we had for the saudi king. i will speak to you in those remarks, but i don't think there were any great surprises in the speech from the saudi king . again, laying out saudi foreign policy talking, of course about climate and of 19 because last year 2020 to started upon demik. saudi arabia was presiding over the g. 20 a group of countries when it comes to the regional situation in the middle east,

which i think is the most important bit of what he had to say. what i think you need to know is that perhaps the situation at a high level sitting around the table with our leaders is the most cordial. it's been at any time since the so called arab spring 10 years ago. but that hasn't really translated into any of the complex and solving any of the complex, whether it's in serial yemen, whether humanitarian situation is as bad as it's been really at any time or libya. well, certainly that been some political developments that have looked positive, but that's really what is that they might turn in the wrong direction. certainly on yemen. he was pretty strong. he said that had been peace efforts. and we know that the un has been trying very hard to try and get everyone to sit down and have talks about some lasting solution, the yemen. but he described it as the terrorist who was his, were the terrorist who these militia have been rejecting the piece options? very, very limited comment from the king about the situation in afghanistan. he said they

wanted peace. a wants to settlement that was acceptable toll. afghans was reminding you that last time tell about more in power at the end of the 1900 ninety's until after 911 till 2001 that one of the 3 countries that recognized saudi arabia most suggestion that way again this time. but it just to come back to the figures that the, the saudi king had had spoken about the $500000000.00. busy worth of age pledge. in addition, pledge towards coven, in addition to $300000000.00 worth of a to me, that's close to a $1000000000.00 a needs when it comes to tackling cove. it that has been a nice bite. the site is quite striking because this all comes as another. so mrs being held on the sidelines there, when that was organized by the u. s. presidents on tackling covert and we've seen some pledges come. i said that cause door meeting focus is the significance at this

school, the summit that it, that is taking place on the sidelines of that of the general assembly, which is ongoing. well, i think was 1st saying when we listen to saudi king, he was talking to think about what they've already given and it was a pre recorded speech. i'm sure there probably is a saudi participant in the actual coverage. some is taking place. so there may be some new commitments coming from saudi arabia, but certainly, president biden is trying to kickstart this announcing that the us, not money. they all giving money, but it's vaccine doses that headline figure half a $1000000000.00 vaccine doses on top of more than that. they've already given, so he's saying by the end of next year, the u. s. will get 1100000000 vaccine doses the u. s. presidency that's equivalent to for every one shot when they put in the arms of an american, 3 shots in the arms of someone else around the world. and he said, if that is followed by all the countries,

then they can try and get to vaccinate the world. but it still is a very big undertaking, given the size of the world's population, given that you've got to get these doses to people located in, in all sorts of parts of the world, including. and this is a real consensus united nations in conflicts items the u. s president also saying that those rich countries that he wants to get money need to add to and give vaccines need to donate the vaccines. they should not be selling the vaccine strike making money out of this. and he said there should be no strings attached. what the u. s. is that i want to see is someone come up and say well will support that policy. busy if you support that policy will, will give you this batch of vaccines, or if you do this trade deal will give you this batch of vaccines. know, this is supposed to be a humanitarian gesture to the world, to vaccinate the will. and they want the rich countries to do it with no strings attached, as well as the go see ations. and the diplomacy is ongoing around the vaccine

summit at we're also getting use coming and says, now that the french presidents and the u. s. president have have that phone call, of course the us and, and france at full. and i wrote the rules about all this deal, that security packed between the u. k, the u. s. and astray leah, which had rather side lines the french james this the details have just been a nines in the last few minutes. and so we do understand that the the french president, defending his envoy, back to the us sometime next week. and there's going to be a meeting between the, the french president and the u. s. president sometime next month. what have you been hearing about this, james? and just your general magic editor. this has been quite striking really just how bad relations had been between france and the united states over the last few

days. while i think the 1st thing to say is significant, the statement came out in the last few minutes came out from the white house and the leaves a palace. it wasn't a white house version and a french version. this was a joint statement by both presidents. so they've signed up to a joint statement. they've signed up to a joint plan. the french president for the macro sending is ambassador back to washington dc. so he can do his job, and then they say they're going to intensify communication with the americans to try. i think to work out what went wrong and they, there's an acknowledgement in the statement that they should have been better communication from the 2 sides. and also they're saying that there will be this meeting between president macro and president biden. coming up soon. now i think it's likely that meeting is going to happen because they're already going to be meeting the g. 20 summit is going to happen in rome. that happens in the last week

of october. it's actually quite deliberate each time the g 20 summit. as a last push on climate, so the g 20 summit happens at the end of october and, and immediately after the world leaders, those from the g 20 go to glasgow joined by all the world leaders, the u. n. sector general another to launch those vital climate talks which then have a couple of weeks to try and come up with the climate deal. so president button will be in europe at that time for glasgow for rome. will he though, just to show, i think a little bit of contrition to show that he wants to rebuild the french relationship . what he do that on the sideline, to the g. 20 or and just speculating here when he, on the way perhaps go to paris and make a visit directly to the lease a policy to see the french president. we don't know yet. we don't, but we will keep a very close eye on events to see what transpires. james space that live for the united nations, and i thank you very much in deeds. libby is 1st unified elections scheduled

for later this year are in dire, censor. politicians in the east withdrew confidence in the transitional government . it's only been in power for 6 months. prime minister says he'll continue to lease the caretaker administration. and the trainer reports from tripoli in a closed session on one day, the eastern base parliament. and to brook said it passed a vote of no confidence in the interim unity government. but now there are questions about the transparency of the vote. and if it was even legal about that offer on the stop you just at the ultimate, the after reaching quorum for today's session with $113.00 and he's present a vote of no confidence is carried out with 18000000 m p 's voting to whole confidence from unity government, unity, government will continue its work as a caretaker government mohammed, it is an m p. he says that for a no confidence vote to be legal, at least $120.00 m. p 's most vote for it to be official performance.

what we saw today was a group of m. p 's, who agreed to carry out a vote. they entered the hall and within minutes announced the $89.00 m. p. 's, both the pool confidence from the government. there wasn't any information on who voted how many voted against and who abstained in the government of national unity came to power in march. it followed a long and challenging political settlement helped by the united nations. it was task with leading the country until nationwide. elections can take place in december and you'll see as it are you gonna move by the parliament to vote on i know confidence motion is not in place, interest, a parliament and government should be cooperating and intensifying that i fix to provide the right conditions of the holding election, after years of conflict, libyans were beginning to feel hopeful that things were getting better. but now with clear signs of political divisions emerging, that feeling may start to fade away and put into question if elections can be held

as schedule malak, trina, l 0. tripoli and us algamite, c is the founder and director of the said that institutes. he explains the standing issues within the unity governance. i think we should also remember the context of this is a new unity. government also government that was appointed by the very man, there is instruments. eliza choreographed that both are going to follow. so this is a new conflict or a new round of conflict with new actors. but it's still about the very same issues that have underlined the conflict many years. now that seems to be a number of irreconcilable differences between the government of national unity and this, the leader of the parliament in east, in the summer. and i'm actually author, namely the budget, and they have been debasing there for several months. the budget for the libya national army of the living, our forces officers forces, whether or not they will be subservient, whether they get to the point administer of defense and the money that they will

eventually give them. and they should have massey of the army itself. so these are the kinds of issues that are, are standing, they haven't been able to kind of come to an agreement over those issues, but over the broader picture as well. there had been other issues that relate to the government of national unity, but to the broader process, the core for elections, which are now less than $100.00 days away. and that has been the constitutional framework, the checks and balance of the brand new president and the ottoman and electoral law . so many issues that have been left to the final minutes that seem to be delaying the elections. and i think that this kind of game of brickman ship, we've seen this before, it's happened for several years. morocco's designated prime minister has said the 3 biggest parties have agreed to form a coalition. government, billionaire as ease and wish was appointed by the king. nearly 2 weeks ago to his liberal n r, i party won the highest number of seats in parliaments. the un secretary general in

many world leaders calling only international community to protect the rights of women and girls in afghanistan. while general policy has been discuss and meetings and site events in new york, there are signs rights of being reduced on to the taliban rule. kristen salumi reports. the taliban has replaced the women's affairs ministry in afghanistan with what it calls the guardians of vice and virtue and young women have been ordered to stay home from school, at least for now. but some are taken to the streets and protest while others are appearing virtually at the united nations to sound the alarm. telling any world leader who will listen not to be fooled by the taliban promises to respect women's rights. yesterday the taliban band woman from working except they can clean bathrooms, fema, back to day. day ban goes from going to school. and tomorrow they will try to shut down the internet the you and has demanded. women be allowed to

deliver humanitarian aid in the country to capitalize on the taliban call for international assistance. but the high commissioner for human rights as women are being progressively excluded from the public sphere that prohibit that some appealing in public spaces without the male garden. in numerous professional affect those women faced increasing restrictions. today go over the age of 12 have in effect, been prohibited from attending schools. gender equality is a founding principal of the united nations. the universal declaration of human rights is supposed to apply equally to men and women, and yet efforts to make protection of women's rights in afghanistan more central part of the un mission. there have been resisted by some members of the security council. other say it's not for lack of trying. as tony i helped craft the language for the mission, the countries foreign minister, even marie lehman says the 1st priority is

a unified council. and i mean that they already 6 months. we come back to the mandate and my job that the next next mandate will be more forward looking and give a stronger mandate to afford united nations to be on to college in f kennedy center support for the conscious development and for women in particular in girl yes, absolutely. african women say they need all the help they can get and it can't come soon enough. kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations, were quick strokes, se strictly a shaking buildings and causing damage in melbourne. magnitude 6 quake hit on monday, around 200 kilometers. know face of the country, 2nd largest city, one of the street is stronger stars clicks on record and the self as far away as sydney, 900 kilometers to the north. left melbourne streets letter with bricks and rubble. but no one has been seriously injured. will that rob felt this and you stay with us?
