crossing buquet ambassador to the un says the resolution won't ease the suffering and uncertainty of displaced syrians. we've heard repeatedly from the u. n. and from angie owes that to renewal for 12 months was necessary to provide operational set and t so they could prepare to meet that humanitarian need, especially during the harsh months of winter last friday, russia stopped days from happening with today's vote. innocent syrians can breathe no sigh of relief, the suffering and the uncertainty goes on without the confidence of at least 12 months. un agencies and n, jose risk being caught in a perpetual cycle of pre positioning and contingency planning. i'd have to get it
5:03 pm
james base has more from the united nations and for this resolution means the thing that i think ment meant that you saw 3 western countries who are so in favor and say that they, it's so much want aid to go into syria actually abstaining on this resolution is the fact that this resolution was almost exactly the resolution that russia had proposed on friday that the rest of the security council, with the exception of china, had voted against and said, was totally unacceptable. that 6 months wasn't good enough to renew this border, crossing and needed to be at least a year to allow the un to do it's logistical and financial planning to get that aide flowing constantly across the border. which more than $4000000.00 syrians rely on and they also are deeply unhappy that a 6th month extension would push the deadline. next time they have to do this in the security council at the beginning of january. the very harsh is moment to winter when the humanitarian situation in syria and northern syria is at its worst,
5:04 pm
but they have no choice in the end. the norwegians and the irish who have been trying to negotiate here took the russian resolution that was voted on and didn't pass last week after the other resolution for 12 months. the extension that had been proposed by orland in norway was vetoed by russia. they amended it with just a few words difference. all it says in the version that's just been passed, isn't the secretary general of the un has to come up with a report on the situation by the end of december. that's the only change. so in the end, russia, by sticking to its guns, has managed to in some ways, humiliate other members of the security council. it's got its way the euro had parity with the u. s. dollar and trading them tuesday before seeing a slight rebound. it's the lowest valuation of the currency since 20. all 2 is being driven by fears of a global recession. investors are anxious about
5:05 pm
a lack of growth across the euro's on are also concerned supplies of russia. gas might be cut because of the boring ukraine. natasha buffer has more from paris for the year. it's been falling since the beginning of the year, but the 1st time in 2 decades. the exchange rate between the euro and the dollars pretty much the same. and there are a number of reasons for that high inflation, which is being fueled by the war in ukraine, added to that of course, ongoing concerns in europe over energy supplies, as you're tries to win itself for fresh and gas. but he's also concerned about russia cutting its existing gas supplies. on top of that, the u. s. federal reserve typed up interest rates much faster than the european central bank. and all that is meant that the dollar is much stronger. it's a much safer bet for investors, particularly as some analysts say that the euro could continue to fall in the coming weeks. craig islands the senior market analyst at the foreign exchange broker and i, he expects the dollar to strengthen and the euro to weaken further in the next few
5:06 pm
months. the u. s. economy shown incredible resilience already and is expected to continue to do the same driven by a very strong labor market throw in as well. the fact that the u. s. dollar is seen as more of a safe haven in times of turbulence, and we're certain, sees certainly seen turbulence across financial markets currently. and the, all of these factors are really supporting the green box against many of the different currencies than you are the downside pressure on the euro, with the gas flows and your certainty that's creating the 10 they scheduled shut down a russian gas through no stream. warren and the potential for that to last much longer is creating a huge cloud of uncertainty, stopping europe from topping up its reserves ahead of central, potentially cold winter. all of these factors are driving this. your dollar pay down to pirating continued to push it way below one in the coming months. europe's been slower for 2 reasons. one is that its economy is more fragile. you could argue,
5:07 pm
and i think we're certainly seeing signs of that already. people talking about a recession, the other is that inflation hasn't yet been as big a problem. you look at the headline number and sure you could say running a 4 times target around a percent are asked to be a massive problem. but the underlying inflation data would show that a lot of this is energy imported inflation and a supply side driven inflation still that we're not seeing the, the, in the ingrained data that we are seeing in the u. s. in the u. k. for example, which is why the central bank has also been more reluctant, but ultimately it's just hard to ignore the facts, even that in the your area. currently there's something needed to be done. and extraordinary measures of stimulus were just simply not justified. at this time, molly's been at his arrest of 49 people. it says as soldiers from ivory coast who had been operating in the country illegally. it's accusing them of being mercenaries. the men were detained after arriving in the capitol bar. marco tensions have risen between marley's transitional government and the u. n. last month, marlene said it would not authorize the un mission to investigate accusations of
5:08 pm
rights abuses or nicholas hacks. joining us live, know from data at nick, what more do we know about what's been happening? well, this all started on sunday, rob went to aeroplanes, from a company called the sal aviation services. it's a u. n. contractor. and on one of the plane a carried, according to the company, 49 soldiers of the i re coast army and on the other plane, was late laden with arm is now when they arrived, then they went through customs. they were arrested by the mailing authorities. and quickly put under arrest net, they're being kept in a military camp and bama code. now for the ivory and authorities, they're negotiating right now. they're really, they say that the i border and army says, this is all the misunderstanding i sling to their paper works not being up to date at the ivory army saying that these men are part of the 8th detachment of the
5:09 pm
national support element and their their objective is to secure the barracks and maintain the barracks of the german contingency that is part of the un peacekeeping mission there. and molly, now, for bama co, on the other hand, these are mercenaries that will be tried in accord and handed over to the justice system. they say that they had no mission orders, that they had their professions and the get for different reasons of to why that were on the ground. certainly the presence of these men has made the military the, the 1000000 genta in charge of but my co very nervous and as heightened the tensions between by miko and its neighboring countries. rob, yeah, let me ask you about the wider context of this. is this predominantly because tensions, as we were talking about has been rising between molly and the un, or other other elements to this that might encourage their molly and authorities to take those kind of action?
5:10 pm
well, there's a sense of, of unease and they're a bit nervous inbox ever since they did. orchestrated the 2nd qu last june like june in 2021. there's been numerous countries that have turned their back to bama co starting by the french who had the biggest operation in molly, over 5000 soldiers helping the 1000000 forces in their counter terrorism efforts. now the french have left and the russians have stepped and with the russian private security company wagner, they're supporting the maryan military to try to stem out attacks from arm groups linked to al qaeda and iso. but it hasn't been as successful as they thought. there's been growing attacks in the center of the country and most interesting he, there's been attacks from arm groups within molly, 2 neighboring countries to coastal countries such as i re coast where there's, they're, they're seeing for the 1st time attacks on their territory. so there is concern for
5:11 pm
neighboring countries. they know that the security of the region is contingent on the stability in bama co. and molly, and that's why we're seeing a heightened concern in what's happening in bama co. i think the thing to note that this contingency of ivory and soldiers, as they're described by the ivory and armed forces, had a contract between the 1000000 authorities in 2019 and the ivr in government. but now that the 1000000 duties in charge all of those contracts are back into question, rob, there goes, thanks very much indeed, nichols hak, talking to us from the ha, your granny are forced to say, they've destroyed a russian military, ammunition depot, and the southern city of nova are called in hudson region, some nearby residential buildings have also been damaged. keith has called and civilians to leave parts of the region as it plans to launch new operations to

5:13 pm
a difference on the battlefield. the russians are believed to be in an operational pause in the east of the country, ready to push on and take the rest of the don't boss region. the pause is to restock refueling re supply, but that becomes much more difficult if the ukrainians are able to target and successfully destroy ammunition dumps. some analysts say the rocket system could significantly delay russian progress. the ukranian president says he's glad to have them up and yell at the i want to thank the united states of america for its decision to provide ukraine with a new 400000000 dollar defense assistance package. additional hi mars and other precision weapons allow us to take anti terrorist steps. they allow us to reduce russian strides with their missiles on our people. e act gentlemen. but the u. s. believes the russians are also restocking tunneling to the iranians for you, ease or unmanned drones or end information indicate that the iranian government is

5:28 pm
a crucial fiji based regional blog. it says micronesia countries have been sidelined in the leadership at the pacific island forum. this concern that the departure has overshadowed an important issue for the region climate change while he reports from super. so many people in the pacific islands climate change is more than just a talking point or something to worry about in the future. it's happening right now . the sea level is rising and it's affecting those who can't afford to do anything about it. it's only affecting all of the family over here, like especially that when they went to go to walk. so mostly in the early morning when high tag, we have katie, our she throws in our hand and then go to walk. let you learn difficult to go to school during the high tide. every year the people in these fiji and villages see the water creeping further inland. and every year the government promises to move them to new land. but nothing happens. just 15 minutes from downtown soother and the 5 star hotel where the leaders are meeting is
