just as crucial here. the rapid support forces, or r as f says it maintains its presence a is on to all those listening to any false rumors that are a so far you control of the general command or the airport. we are now inside. both facilities are divided on, but so don's army denies giving us power with should we did was no g, as you can see from the green square up to this point, there is nothing but the army personnel there now combing the area for our i said, fought is the army released video, celebrating the surrender of what it says? a rapid support forces fighters in al fresco, also gra, in the southeast. ah, and general meeting troops in harten this earlier in the day and as strike hit several homes and calico south of the capitol to dance doctor's committee is wanting of dozens of casualties. the rapid support forces is accusing the army of

definitely the most difficult part of this entire journey. i'm having to go through these checkpoints where you don't know whether you're going to be robbed or killed or i'm just holding my mother's hands looking into my gramma's eyes just all holding each other's hands and praying that it all goes smoothly. there have been more international and regional calls for mediation. if you're p as prime minister is appealing for both sides to talk to glenn man. what do i ask? my brother albert han and my brother had made see to stop the fighting immediately and adopted dialogue. but the 2 warring sides appeared, determined to fight on as to don, enters a new phase of war and a deteriorating humanitarian situation. where he le mohammed al jazeera hey, morgan is in cartoon with the latest. many of the people who we spoke to in the northern part of a capital as well as the southern part of a capital say that they have been in 10th artillery stripes as well as,

as strikes by both the rapid support forth as amber sydney's army. now in the eastern part of the capital, there were reported airstrikes by the citizens against our position. and the people who was supposed to say that while no residents were heard that several buildings have been destroyed in that area. the strike then you have in the southern parts of the capitol in the city of collateral, for example, strikes led to the injury of dozens of the residents of that area, as well as the death of one civilian. that's what people are telling us. and they're saying that access to medical facilities is becoming challenging. they say that they do have people who are injured. there are hospital at the hospitals are overcrowded, and there is a shortage of medical staff. now others still others yet who we spoke to say that they've been trying to get out of the capital. but the breakdown in communications have for them to stay back home. they were not sure which was the safest route to leave the capital. and they've heard of many people who had been trying to make it to egypt or to the eastern city of port for them, but they still remain standard is transit in bus stations. so many people say that because of that communication breakdown because they didn't know which was the

secure way out. and because they were able to hear 5 digits and the artillery had strikes, they stayed at home waiting for a little lunch in the fighting so that they can be able to leave their homes and try to seek safety elsewhere. i want to cut now to our diplomatic, get it to james base, who joins me farm the united nation. james, a lot of talk about today and eyebrow raising day, the us really because russia is going to be sharing a discussion. and you'll run us through the events of the day. but the headline is that russia is sharing a discussion on the un charter. we're talking about a country that just invaded its neighbor now chair, now basically holding court. what is the global temple for multilateralism? absolutely. this meeting is now on the way with russian fuss foreign minister in the chair. and already there's been condemnation from other countries, all 27, e. u ambassadors stood in front of reporters

a short time ago. they describe this as the cynical meeting. we've also heard from the u. s. ambassador, the united nations linda thomas greenfield. she said they're talking about the un charter, but there's an elephant in the room. and that's the fact that russia violated the basic tenet of that charter by invading its neighbors. interestingly, the u. s. ambassador, united nations is accompanied by elizabeth wheeler and she is the sister of paul whelan. in fact, she speaking to reporters right now, the sister of paul wieland who's been held up by the russians now for more than 4 years. he has been sentenced to a 16 year term. she's speaking to reporters at the security council, stakeout, the 2nd general of the united nations, antonio terrace, is now speaking to the security council. what are you expecting from the russian foreign minister, sir gay lover off today? well, this is a pattern that we've seen many times before since the start of the war in ukraine

over the last year that russia very much attacks on the issues where some would normally think perhaps it's vulnerable. so they have chosen this sir james, a suggestion defense are you in kindergarten and in the united nations, civilians must be able to access food, watson and other, the central supplies and evacuate from combat songs. i am in constant contact with the parties to the conflict, and i have called on down to the escalate tensions and to the current to the negotiating table. will continue our efforts with our partners to secure a permanent hauled to the fighting as soon as possible. working with the med center and his ations on the ground, we are reconfiguring our presence. you so then to enable us to continue supporting the sudanese people. let me be clear if the united nations is not leaving. so then our commitment is to the sudanese people in support of their wishes for

a peaceful and secure future. we stand with them at this terrible time. i have authorized the temporary location, both seems side and outside. so them of some united nations personnel, ands of families, i call on all council members to exert maximum leverage with the barclays, 2 and the violence, rece the art of that and the return to the best of them or can i think the transition we must all do every scene within our power to pull so then back from the edge of the abyss. miss the president. thank you for convening the significance of to lay it on the important issue of effective multilateralism. multilateral corporation is the beating heart of united nations. it says on that through and guiding vision the establishment of united nations in 1945 that he presented humanity his best attempts to prevent any repetition of yours as of 2 world wars

and the holocaust. over the past 78 years, the multilateral system has altogether and delivered some notable successes. the tools and mechanisms established by the charter f played their part in averting as 3rd world war. peacemaking and preventive diplomacy by the united nations of helped ends conflicts at on the world's united nations peacekeeping. operations have helped society move away from conflict, saving, perhaps millions of lives our these are meant and non proliferation efforts. if else to confine nuclear weapons to a handful of states and united states, that nations was central to the d. coloma zation process and independence of 8 the former colonies to they. members of the, when we have helped to advance economic and social progress and contributed to reducing poverty and hunger, eradicating diseases and building recognition the respect for fundamental human

rights. the global humanitarian assist them coordinated by the united nations. saves millions of lives, each ear and multilateral solutions. the global problems from the hours on layer to the dedication of polio. arthritis tested and proven to work. none of this progress would have been possible without count that he standing together as a multi lateral human family. which makes to they situation all more dangerous. we faced and presented than interlocking crisis. but the multi level system isn't that a great that strain than at any time since the creation of united nations, dan channels, which in measured power decided than he's 30 high? so are the risks of conflict, civil misadventure, or miscalculation trash has invasion of ukraine in violation of united nations shot at that ain't national law. is causing massive suffering and devastation to the

country and its people and adding to the global economic, his location 3 good by the carving, 19 pandemic. elsewhere, conflicts getting dawn from myanmar to the sail from somalia to the democratic republic of the congo and beyond. the situations to then now set them to destabilize the entire region. while there are some promising development in yemen and libya, more than 100000000 people have fled that alms to escape violence conflict and but the cushion at on the world's effects these multilateral responses are urgently needed to prevent and resolve conflicts, manage economic uncertainty, rescued the sustainable development walls and the rest challenges to the global norms against the use and possession of nuclear weapons. we are witnessing a deepening climate crises, soaring inequalities arising threats from federalism, a global pushback against human rights and gender equality, and the, and regulated developments of dangerous technologies. all these global challenges

can only be solved so respect to international law, at videos to global commitments and the adoption of the property. it's frameworks of multilateral governance. mr. president, excellencies as difficult as the past, the it has been. i martin, that member states have made progress seen several crucial areas. abiding, 30 on the conservation and sustainable use of money in biological diversity was finalized. cop 27 and shemelle shake achieved the breakthrough in addressing lawson damage caused by climate change. the general assembly recognized the human right to a clean l. c and sustainable environment. and these developments are importance and that effects could be far reaching the plexiglass. we should even memorandum of understanding to facilitate the exports of ration within 30 lasers and compelling examples of the significance of multilateral corporation, facilitated by the united nations. and they clear demonstrate that such corporation

is essential to create then great security and prosperity for all. and i urge that continue the implementation. but to need to do better though, further and look faster, that must start to have confidence require me think that obligations under the united nations shout that booting human rights and dignity firsts and prioritizing the prevention of conflicts and crises. the principles enshrined in the united nations chart that enforcing the declaration on fed relations and corporation amongst states. respect was of any the 33 integrity and political independence of all states. not interference in the affairs of other states. the elimination of all forms of discrimination and the peaceful settlement of these spots are bulwarks against some certainty and fragmentation. they are the foundation of all international cooperation, twins, conflict, save lives, but that human rights and promote social and economic progress. second, they aj,

member states used the full range of implementing thought that un charter provides for the peaceful resolution of conflicts. and these include the use of my, with offices throughout resolve disputes and secured peace. so effective multilaterally as my think with a commitment to tackling new and emerging challenges and filling gaps in global governance to achieve the promise of the chart that in the 21st century. this is the driving force behind my report and all clam an agenda, including the proposed new agenda for piece. the new agenda for peace with offered a unifying vision, anchored in, thrusts universality and solidarity through the rest. all forms and domains of threats thinking only stick view of the piece, continuum from prevention, peacemaking, and peacekeeping. the peace building and sustainable development into land line preventive action as a priority at all levels. or common agenda, the vision of multilateralism that is more inclusive. we'd space for the contributions of all countries of communities and more network. we strong links

between the united nations family, international financial institutions, regional organizations threading blocks and others. member state signed the leads on adapting instead of governmental. oregon still meets changing needs and majority . now acknowledge that the security council itself would benefit from reforms that reflect to these your political reality. and this same is true for the bretton woods institutions. they do not reflect. also the reality of today's global economy . the level advisory board on effective multilateralism that they appointed last 3 years as identify the number of threats formation all shifts with s p some security challenges. going economic inequalities that triple planetary crisis of climate vowel diverse and pollution and the widening, digital divides. i old very bored will make a significant contribution to our collective reflection in the lead up to the summit of the future next year. and i count on your engagement and support in

preparations for the summits. mister president's excellency's already seclusion was created for crisis serrato's history. united measures as can overcome, seemingly and technical conflicts and the divisions we must find the way forward and next. now, as we have done before, to stop the slide to what scales and conflict, it's time to leap and corporation through stress and multilateral institutions to find common solutions. the common challenges, members of this council, particularly those that enjoy the privilege of serving permanently, ever particular responsibility to make multilateralism. what rather than contributes tweets these member m competition between states is inevitable. but there should not roll out corporation. we have shared the interest and the guy that will, that it's thing. and then competition escalates the confrontation, the multilateral system founded on the chart that an international law is the most effective,

means to manage these boots peacefully. we must corporate. we must adapt multilateral institutions and foster thrusts where it's most needed. and the urgency of global challenge is the man's molds and swift action. and i thank you. yeah, because i do know that is a very general and i you mentioned before his briefing to just and i will now deliver statement my capacity. is that the minister for foreign affairs of the russian federation with mister secretary, general, distinguished colleagues, what is it? a symbolic that we are holding today's meeting on the international day of multilateralism and diplomacy for peace, which has been enshrined on the calendar of significant days of the under general assembly resolution dating 12 december 2018. in 2 weeks. we will commemorate the 78th 78th anniversary of the victory or during the 2nd world war, the defeat of nazi germany where my country would support a valid, made

a decisive contribution set, the foundation for the post war international order. it's so legal, a foundation became the chart of the united nations and our organization, the embodiment of general genuine multilateralism gained a central coordinating role in international politics. in 80 years of its existence, the united nations has delivered on key the key mission, which was entrusted to it by the founding fathers, for several decades. the core mutual understanding of the 5 mutual of the 5 permanent members of the security council getting on the supremacy of the goals and principles of the charter guaranteed global security. and thereby created conditions for a genuine multilateral cooperation of governed by universally recognized norms of international law. now, the united nations centered system is enduring a profound crisis. the root cause was the desire of some members of our organization to replace international law and they knighted nations charter with

a certain rules based order. nobody has seen these. busy rules they were not the subject of transparent international negotiations. they are devised, crafted, and apply with the goal of countering the natural process of the establishment of new and dependent development centers. which are the objective manifestation of multilateralism. their attempts to deter them with a legitimate unilateral measures. these include barring access to modern technologies and financial services, and they include expulsion from supply, change, confiscation of property, destruction of critical infrastructure of competitors and manipulation with universally agreed upon norms and procedures. as a result, in global trade has become fragmented, market mechanisms have collapse, the world trade organization has become paralyzed. and now, clearly and openly, the international monetary fund has morphed into a tool for their achievement of the goals of united states and their allies,

including goals of a military nature in a desperate attempt to assert, to dominate their domination by punishing their in subordinates. the united states has taken the path of destroying globalization, which for many years they have taunted, they have fo, raised up as the highest benefit of all of human and humanity advancing. but the multilateral system of global economic system, washington and it's a western subordinates leverage those rules every time they need to justify illegitimate attempts against those who base their policies in line with international law and those who, who abandon the parochial interest of the global 1000000000. the western colleagues have long founded inconvenient to reach agreement, the universal format, such as the united nations for ideological justified policy to undermine multilateralism in abandonment of the democracy encountering talk receive

beyond the summit for democracy where self proclaimed has self hope of proclaimed a hedge eman determines composition, there are other clubs of selective individuals are adopted. the summit for mark received the alliance for multilateralism. the global partnership for artificial interests, the global coalition for freedom of media, the paris call for trust and security in cyber space. all of these and other exclusive projects have been devised to undermine negotiations on relevance themes under the he just with united nations to impose a non consensual concepts and decisions that are convenient for the west. and these are proposed as the position of the international community. let's call a spade a spade. nobody allowed the western minority to speak on behalf of all of human kind. there is a need to be polite and to respect all members of the international community by

imposing of rules based order. it sponsors arrogantly reject the key principle of a chart of the united nations, namely the sovereign equality of states. the quintessential nature of the complex of superiority or exceptionalism was the lordly statement of the head of the european union. had joseph burwell, stating that europe is a heavenly guard in the rest of the world. this jungle. also quote, the joint declaration of nato e. u. dating 10, january 2023, which states i quote, the united west will leverage all economic financial political. and i would note this in particular, military instruments at the disposal of nato, and they use it and the e u for the advancement of the interest of our common billions. that is what that, that question stays. the collect, a glass that has arrogantly reshape to for and tailored process is a multilateralism at the regional level before they advancement of their interest.

just recently, the united states called for the monroe doctrine to be revive demanding that latin american countries limit to ties with urgent probation people are hungry china. this policy, however, came up against the decisive a focus of us in the region to strengthen their own multilateral structures, 1st and foremost, the seller and to uphold their legitimate right to stand as a pillar of the multilateral world order of the russian federation fully supports these justified aspirations now that have been significant forces united states and allies, to undermine multilateralism. and that is a position with region and of this cooperation around economy and security has decades for decades been unfolding around s. sam assaye, on this system are allowed for consensual approaches to be established, which are, were beneficial to the 10 members of the dozen members of ac on,

and their partners and dialogue, including russia, china, the u. s. india, japan, australia, public of korea, which provided for genuine inclusive multilateralism by advancing the endo pacific strategy. washington has embraced the policy of destroying the established architecture and during the last to nato. so my, to my trade, there was an assertion of all peace. a lovers, cynics, bush about the exclusively peaceful nature of their military programs, announcing global responsibility and visibility of security in the euro atlantic in the so called endo pacific region. so now, the policy of nato, as of course, a at a defensive organization is now moved to western shores of the pacific ocean. the block based approaches that undermine the asia centric um mindset. and they are manifest in the creation of an of a military alliance offices. which has now embraced tokyo several and a number of ass down countries under the aegis of the u. s. mechanism for

intervention in maritime security issues have been established to uphold the unilateral interest of a west of the west. mister brown, i mentioned to promise yesterday to send you military, a navy forces to that region. it is not concealed that the goal of the indo for shit civic strategy is to deter china and to isolate russia. and this is how our western colleagues have you effective multilateralism in asia pacific region after the collapse of the war or treaty organization. and the soviet union, departing from the stage and hope was for a mentor for the advancement of the principles of genuine inclusive multilateralism in the year atlantic space. but instead of tapping into the potential of the o s. c, on equitable collective basis. western countries not only preserved nato, but contrary to their pledges, they moved towards arrogant li,

absorbing spaces, including those territories where vital interests of the russian federation existed in will always continue to exist as was reported by the then your secretary states . jim baker to president george bush, the elder, the main threat for nato is the organization for security cooperation in europe. and i would add that to your present lately and i did nations and what is enshrined in this charter also represent a threat to washington's global ambitions. russia has a good, painstakingly attempted to, to reach mutually beneficial multilateral agreements with emphasis on the principle of indivisibility, security which was proclaimed and enshrined in outcome documents of the overseas summit of both in 10992010. there it states explicitly categorically black and white that nobody is to strengthen one's own security at

the expense of the security of others and no state group of states organization. it can be vested with the primary responsibility for the maintenance of peace in the region or consider any if this is region of the o. s. c, e, whatsoever. as a part of this fear of influence, nato trampled upon these obligations and the president's and premier premier of its members states and did the opposite, proclaiming its right to any arbitrary action. and egregious example is the on the lawful bombing of yoga live in 1909, including with depleted uranium being used, which resulted in and up to can cancer cases, both are served citizens and nato military personnel. joe biden was the senator and he, not without pride, he said before the camel or us, that he personally called for the bombing of belgrade and the destruction of all

bridges on that nipper river. and now the u. s. ambassador in belgrade. mister hill through media outlets called on the serbs to turn the page and to stop getting upset about stop and getting upset. the u. s. has gained a great deal of experience. japan has been shamefully quiet about who bombed hiroshima and nagasaki. as we know during the, the g 7 summit, mister blinkin with great pathos, lamented the suffering and victims of the bombing. but he did not manage to mention the culpability of the united states these other rolls and after the 2nd world war, these are criminal misadventures of washington which were sent into play. the shameful invasion by the us led coalition into iraq and 22003 was an egregious violation of the united nations charter as was the aggression against libya in 2000. and.
