1:19 am
to magic editor james base has more the russian foreign minister in new york presiding over the un security council. he said the world system was evaporating before our eyes, so just on us and to reach nicely still missouri. now, the united nation centered system is enduring a profound crisis whose root cause was the desire of some members of our organization to replace international law and the united nations charter is with a certain calling rules based order. nobody has seen these rules, they were not the subject of transparent international negotiation used use to them . but western diplomat said the decision to call this meeting about the defense of the u. n's. founding charter was cynical. the u. s. ambassador said it was russia that had violated the charter by invading the ukraine. she'd come to the meeting, accompanied by the sister of us, citizen, paul whelan, who's been imprisoned in russia for over 4 years. russia, the convenor of today's meeting,
1:20 am
invaded his neighbors in ukraine. and struck at the heart of the un charter and russia time and time again has violated universal human rights and fundamental freedoms both outside and inside its own borders. paul was a corporate security director. he had a job, he loved a home, a life of hope and opportunity. all that has been taken away from him by russia, a country that revels in its culture of lies. mr. labrons also had an important meeting with the un secretary general antonio terrace. russia says the black sea grain initiative expires on may the 18th, on there are doubts whether it will be renewed minutes. hello, how can the grind feel survive off your meeting? can the greenville survival show? show years. so mr. love rob, simply admonished me from my loud question, but it's clear from a recent conversation that i had with russia's deputy foreign minister,
1:21 am

1:22 am
really points to the un security perception that european countries see on russia, and that actually this has been justified in russia's actions in 2022. such that europe is looking for security through military strength, over negotiations, or dialogue. first of all, from a central and with european perspective, spending really thought to increase after russia annex a crimea 9 a 2014. and there was a response really to really a built up the european military's in response to russia's threats. and of course, we look at more from a east asia, also u. s. perspective on china. us have all been looking to modernize its military since the early, 2000 and hence, and this war continued to all the way to the 20 forty's is simply very worrying that the region as a whole is increasing its almonds spending large countries. even the smaller can
1:23 am
reset as indonesia, singapore viet nam at, or increase spending as a response to china's increase. and it, so it's rather worrying that countries in the region are essentially increasing as allocation to the military over let's say more dialogue towards peaceful settlements on negotiations off the, the south east. china see, at least 60 people have been killed, an attack in northern burkina, faso authorities say about a 100 men wearing what looked like military uniforms rated the village of commer. yeah, tenga province. no group has claimed responsibility. the attack comes just off the government, mobilized thousands of people to help fight arm groups linked to al qaeda. and i saw that there have been protests in bangladesh marking 10 years since a building housing. a garmin factory collapse, killing more than 1100 workers, will in 2000 people were injured in the round plaza disaster turn via child re reports from saba, near the capital deca. i actually marked her only just survived the ronna plaza
