have access to them wherever they are health united nations, human rights, money's on initially new crane and u. n. independent, international commission of inquiry on ukraine continued to monitor document and report to the viewed the supporting the investigation of alleged violations was. he's also ongoing to deploy the recently established fact finding mission. voila. they've got to look into the incident on 29 july. these mission must be able to freely conduct his work together and analyze necessary information and to find the facts. it is imperative that the mission as safe, secure, and, and federal, accessed law, relevant places and buttons and to all relevant evidence without any limitation impediment or interference. is the peasant excellencies on the cert, his 1st anniversary of you claim his independence. i wish to congratulate you communion people, the people of you could, in ambiance, needs this and they need peace. no,

it's in line with un charter. be seen line with international law, and i thank you. oh gosh, yeah. you've heard all. okay. that was saw the un secretary general antonio terrace . there are addressing the united nations security council. ah, which is discussion discussing the situation in ukraine 6 months after the ah, russian invasion of ukraine began, sparking this war. ah, he said, that's as the death told in ukraine rises, the amount of humanitarian assistance required in ukraine has skyrocketed that to this is a senseless war. and one which has revealed vulnerabilities across the world, especially in the 3rd world. and he has renewed his coal for support, a 3rd world countries to deal with the impacts of this conflict. i believe now and we are going to cross over to kristen salumi our kristin so tussle that more about

water the you and 6 general had say well the secretary general paid tribute to the thousands of civilians who've been killed as a result of this conflict. now and it's 6 months, but i think what stands out from his remarks as you touched on is the impact that this conflict as having world wide in terms of a, it's polarizing impact on the countries of the united nations. as we see in the security council, when the various heads of are on bastards from countries will get to speak, what is less heard in the security council is the voices of the rest of the world where hunger is increasing and an insecurity is growing as a result of this conflict and its impact on food prices and fuel prices and debt

nationwide. and so we heard the secretary general calling attention to that. yet again, as his recent it to the region also did the un now dealing with hundreds of millions more people on the verge of hunger and famine as a result of rising food prices. but there was also a dark warning in his remarks as well. not only is there a problem with people having access to food, the future is uncertain because right now there's enough food to go around. the problem is distribution and having money to pay for it. if other systemic problems aren't addressed, namely getting more fertilizer out of russia and more food out of russia, there could actually be of food shortage for the world in 2023. so very dire warnings and predictions in the very polarized security council chamber. and we also heard from the secretary general about a couple other issues that the united nations is focused on. and that is this

apparition, nuclear power plant, which is under russian control, but still being operated by ukrainian workers that has set off alarm bells in the international community of a pop possible nuclear accident that could have also implications beyond ukraine's borders. and then there's the olin cut prison complex. there was an attack there. russia blamed ukraine for shooting and killing ukrainian prisoners of war in this prison. ukraine deny is that the united nations has agreed to go in and investigate. so we have a very polarized security council where this meeting is taking place, but a un at the center of it and a secretary general who's being asked to mediate between these 2 sides and a secretary general with a difficult task. i think of trying to calm tensions and see a way forward. i did have a chance to speak to him on the way into the counsel, and i asked him if he saw a way forward and, and frankly,

his remarks were not too optimistic. he said the great deal was a good step forward, but ultimately we need peace in order to restore a normal life for so many people around the globe. i kristen slain there for us at the united nations. thank you. our families in poland, bracing for a tough winter. the country is facing wide spread. coal shortages after russian imports of fuel were banned to protest against the invasion of ukraine. unlike the rest of europe, poland relies on coal rather than gas for power and heating. andrew simmons traveled to kathy, it's up to see how people are preparing for the cold months ahead. poland prides itself on its potential for being totally independent of russia for its energy needs. but there's a problem. it's a shortage of coal, not gas, like the rest of europe, rough, our rules, coal seller, is normally stocked up for winter by now. but he can't find any coal to buy. and if

he could, he'd pay almost 4 times what he used to use them on gotten you kim, i'm not a minor or a geologist, but the coal is right here beneath our feet. and i've been trying to buy it for 3 months with 0 results and average been, he's right, this region is rich with coal, but polish production is limited. and the government has banned imported coal from russia, even though it's cheaper and more suitable for domestic use. we didn't invest in nuclear power yet, or we cannot rely on natural gas. so all we have is gold when it comes to the heating sector. this tuition is even worse because we were heavily dependent on russian co colon burns, a lot of coal, 87 percent of the total for households across the european union. coal mines surrounded by cues of trucks can't meet the demand. and if people knew the level of profiteering going on, they be even more alarmed. there's

a reason that truck drove us from all over poland or spending days on end and cues like these. it's because the loads may be small, but the profits are big. drivers are known to make at least a 100 percent profit from a coal yard dealer who will then raise the price by at least another 100 percent. this driver admits the 2nd old will suffer for the nearby stock. what the government should do is get pension as a special allowance on coal delivered to their door, and it's sick. i don't want to profit from human misery, but that's how it is. the government says an annual coal allowance of around $630.00 a year will help a ministers say companies are importing coal ahead of the coming winter. polish companies are now importing call from other countries from columbia, indonesia, south africa, and replacing with that does the quantities of called and we're coming from russia . it's a bit of a different logistics, so it creates challenges. but right across poland,

people like this homeowner feel the government isn't doing enough. andrew simmons, al jazeera kat of it, sir. poland on thursday. andrew, we'll report on challenges facing another eastern european country in the coming months. i'll be reporting on a different type of crisis here. in hungary, it's 85 percent reliant on russian gas. and that's causing many problems. invoice from the u and united states visit in kosovo and soviet to help resolve a license plate dispute. it's become a new flash point in their relations. as bernard smith reports, nato's k for peacekeepers are out of their barracks and back on the streets of casa, and attempt by ethnic albanian majority, kosovo, to assert sovereignty over ethnic serbs living it's north, is risking a return to conflict. the spark is car license plates. already drivers crossing the

serbia kosovo border must cover up national symbols because serbia doesn't recognize casa bos, independence. now christina says it will be issuing license plates to its ethnic syrup. citizens who still insist on using plates issued in belgrade. they that the renewal of the plate shouldn't change. no one can force me even if 100 our maintenance would come here. i will so fight, even if it means i will buy, is that enough? but it will give me. i bought a veal and i bought them. yeah, it would be for the best. and the most honest solution for us to keep the number plates that we have and not change them. kosovo seceded from serbia in 2008, 5 percent of its population is ethnic serve. and mostly to the north of this bridge . emit treat, sir. they still take their orders from belgrade. that's despite a deal that sir be assigned in brussels 10 years ago. giving up control here in return for the chance of joining the european union. the prospect of

e u membership was supposed to encourage costs of owen serbia to become good neighbors. but e e was now cooled on any sort of expansion. and as a feeling here and in serbia that the prospect of full e u. membership is now beyond the horizon. now is the graffiti supporting rushes invasion of ukraine suggests. serbian sympathies lie with moscow. the main issue is that how, when the e u is not in how the russians are getting in, every one knows that her, that serbia, it's hash not yet been, and distancing itself from. ah, the russian invasion in ukraine. russia is still very much interested in having a next font. a next font is the balkans, serbia's president alexander view church says sir politicians on civil servants could stop working in cost of institutions. if the new license plates are imposed,

kosovo prime minister of incur t, there is an escalation to a wider conflict. nato says its troops are ready to intervene. if there's a risk of violence, bernard smith, al jazeera pristina, kosovo. a former us police officer has pleaded guilty for her role in the death of brianna taylor, a black woman who was shot and killed during a police raid. taylor died in her home in 2020. the death sparked protests against racial injustice and police brutality across the u. s. federal investigative say kelly, good luck. conspired to create a cover story and added a line to the search warrant. going back after you in security council meeting, where president landscape of ukraine is addressing the council, let's take a listen to everyone. thank you for this support and great things from the independent free ukraine to find for

tara, just recently as i was preparing for this statement, i've received information to has launched missiles against the new proper thrust region against the railroad station, the railroad cars at the station to people, and if people were injured, unfortunately, the death toll could increase. this is the our life every day. this is how russia got prepared for this. you and session. ladies and gentlemen, mister president, masters general sect you and you and chanted to day our country. so the day they independence day and now every one of you can see how much and the world is dependent on our independence. and whether

ukraine is at peace, whether our people are safe, whether the integrity of our territory and the availability of our bodies are guaranteed. it can take any aspect of these terrible against us. and each of these aspect will be related to one or another global crisis. now, what is happening right now? russia has put the world on the brink of radiation catastrophe. it is a fact that the russian military has turned the territory of the largest nuclear power plants in europe. this upper region, nuclear power plant into a war zone. this is a fact, the russia's armed provocation shall lang, deploy men to terrorists on the territory of the station under the russian flag. now, in europe and neighboring regions faced the threats of the radiation pollution. this is a fact now. and what is the cher nobel, the separation nuclear power plant,

has 6 reactors. only one reactor exploded inter noble the i am mission, to take permanent control and the situation at this operation, euchre plant as soon as possible and rochard unconditionally stop nuclear blackmail and completely withdraw from the station. russia has and ted hunger. it is a fact that the russian blockade of rock of ukrainian ports and as of see increased the deficit in the already this style, ballast of food markets. and this met situation in different parts of our climate, let alone the drawings in europe, the largest over the last to have 500 years. fortunately, we've managed to create trasha was forced to accept the terms of international

community allowing to restore grain experts from 3 ukrainian ports. it relieves a part of the tension and deformed market, but does not remove the threat completely, only the full recovery of ukrainian agriculture experts, without any obstacles can be a guarantee that tens of millions of people around the world would have something to eat. and you feel resend to the fact that even now in the 21st century, you still have to fight to save tens of millions of people in different countries from this artificial hunger. this artificial one, which was provoked by a single country, whether it's insane aggression and that's also a factor. ukraine's do filled out the u. n. was established not to aid in the 21st century over the aspect that should have long remained in the past

. but nevertheless, i thank mister secretary general of the un and did turkey yan to the president of the turkey and to all other responsible members of its national relations or fighting against a food crisis to wage on russia is responsible and becoming wakes. we have to do everything to expand the existing grain initiative lead stake in other aspect, the energy. it is a fact that russia is deliberately trying to impose energy for retail phone, tens of millions of people, deprived them of normal access to basic goods by deliberately raising energy prices . all this is done by permanent member to the un security council is still uses the privilege of its to ride the crisis for europe. the threat of the large scale

hunger, the political carriers for african asian countries, the prize crisis and the whole world. isn't it too much for a single country? his representative said some longer, i will mention one more aspect of the values. indeed way should honestly talk about the point dad's values are perceived differently in different parts of the world. there's different approaches, but everywhere in the world, life has value. fees has value, economic prosperity has value all countries, if they respect themselves and their people punish for murder and not all, nor the executioners. however, we see that there is a country that is not beheadings differently and is proud of doing so ed or words murderers, sending carriages, executioners. and this is a threat,

not only for ukraine solvents if you were killed by the russian vendors dozing of our cities were destroyed by russian territory. russia does not comply with fundamental conventions on the prisoners of for this is something that was also mentioned today. the deliberate killing by the rushing or bars of our prison is a for in old. and he's got a came one of the most terrible pages in the history of europe. and there is an immediate need for you. and in fact, finding mission anal then you've got and the mandate of wage should be extended to cover all ukrainian field w's currently held by russian forces. there is no such war crime that the russian ocoee bars have not yet committed on the territory of ukraine. bet if russia is not stopped now, and in ukraine, if it is not stopped by the weak theory as your crime, an old days russian murderers will probably end up in other countries.

europe, asia, africa, letting america threat traces of russian war criminals everywhere. and we must all get united and act decisively as soon as possible. so there are no more traces of russian marseilles, and no more seated burned by russian territory. so that there would be no france of irradiation catastrophe every ever. again, russia must release the capture territory of ukraine, so that there would be no food crisis. russia would need to withdraw from our land, from our sea, so that no country in the world can ever again disregard the un and conventions binding on all mankind. right, there's no ex, russia must be held accountable for the crime of aggression against ukraine. the

relevant resolution will be submitted for the consideration of the $77.00 succession of the un general assembly in order for a sense of justice to return to international relations. we must all confirm and force russia to recognize that the infallibility of borders and bees are unconditional values for all nations. this is why they independence and integrity of our country are of fundamental importance for the international relations. preserving our independence guarantee. returning normally, economic ties with ukraine will restore the true power to the un shanta and save the world from de crisis says that we are all forced to face now. mister general, secretary, antonia could cherish as the ambitious intention of organizing their summits

of the future. next year we support this initiative and reaffirmed that in order to build the future, it's necessary to leave in the dust ping of history. one has always prevented him from leaving in fees, namely, the aggression and colonial ambitions. that is what russia has came with to ukraine, and i believe that we can surely build the future. it would be good and symbolic to have this some, it's a new ukraine. it is on the territory of ukraine, that the world's future is decided. whether we'll, we'll have a future at all. this is being decided also at this operation nuclear power plant and in our see ports and in don bus and in the crimea, our independence is your security. the security of the entire

for this opportunity for the understanding of my situation, the situation of our country. thank you for the attention and i think the chinese presidency to participate and a succession in the online form it glory to you guys. yeah. well, our apologies for the, the quality of that cold, but we are taking this feed from the united nations in new york, and obviously that taking a feed from ukraine. ah, so technical problems abound. but that was, of course, are the ukranian president vladimir zalinski addressing the un security council. ah, he mentioned that russia has turned separation into a war zone. zachary shipping nuclear power plants, a new client and ukraine. one of the biggest in europe for your play said that as a result of this, all the nation's face and nuclear threat, he called the russian actions insane russian aggression, aggression and said that russia does not even comply with that conventions on prison is a war. he did thank the sick,

2 general and turkey's president for helping get the grain deal over the line, which allows ukrainian exports to leave ukraine to allow excellence to leave ukrainian ports or through the black sea, but added that only russia is responsible for any issues in terms of getting that done, let's bring in kristin salumi, who's been listening to all of the speeches are happening today at the u. n. and kristen has been a real emphasis on the impact of this war. now 6 months on it's increasingly clear that this is having a world wide impact. absolutely, and presidents zalinski sought to capitalize on that fact and enlist the sympathies of the world, tying the world's fate to ukraine's fade. he said, our independence is your security pointing out that the terms of russia's invasion,

the violation of borders was a basic tenet of international law that had been violated and had in bold in russia . we actually heard from rosemary decarlo, the political affairs chief here at the united nation saying that they had seen an increase and global unrest, riots and instability in the world. and while she acknowledged it was hard to draw a direct link to the situation in ukraine. clearly, the united nations is worried about the destabilizing impact. this conflict is having around the world. and as the focus of the world is drawn towards ukraine and global food prices skyrocket, hunger rises, instability rises, lots of gloom and doom. coming out of this, this briefing that we're hearing on the 6 month anniversary of the invasion of russia's invasion of ukraine. we're also hearing about an appeals for more

un involvement from zalinski. that's what he was asking for. he was asking for the i. e. a team that is supposed to go in and look at the situation at the separation nuclear power plant currently held by russia. he asked for that to be a permanent controlling force at the plant. he also pointed to the old and he cut prison situation where russia accuses ukraine of bombing, and the russians accuse ukrainian. ukraine accuses russia. he's asking for the united nations to step in there. so an, an appeal for continued support from zalinski. very passionate, based on these global situations. but russia trying to capitalize on that, saying that there's a double standard for the way ukraine has looked at versus much of the rest of the world and fighting back in a very divided international community. as we see represented in the security

council meeting, absolutely christian salumi there in new york with united nations. thank you. on thursday, ringo refugees will mock the 5th anniversary of their exodus from me and me all hundreds of thousands of people from the countries most and minority fled a violent military crackdown in 2017. now, nearly a 1000000 ro he live, and one of the world's largest refugee camps and cox's bizarre freedom of movement is limited. and they're kept on the increasingly harsh conditions and what she's pushing for that recreation, but un human rights chief says it's too dangerous for them. to return to their challenge, re recalls 5 years on a 1000000 reparative living in the largest refugee camp in cox as bizarre. when you walk in the straits and talk to the rowing, as you can send the frustration and sense of hopelessness most know they are going back to me on my anytime soon, many of the rowing refugees re spoke to said that the increase restriction in the
