11:37 pm
well, sir, i think the representative of monta as i now give the sword to the representative of the united arab emirates. thank you mister president. the war on garza has raged for 40 days while we have held several meetings, her devastating briefings and scene heart wrenching reporting. this council has been unable to produce anything that would alleviate the suffering of the civilians in gaza outside this building. and in our region, in particular, the council appears indifferent to the carnage and dismissive of the suffering due to mold, says extra ordinary efforts. and so that's of their team, which we assign them for. and with our full support as the are a member on the council. today, we have an opportunity to begin changing that perception. the draft resolution is born from the idea that we must come together now to act under one fundamental common a. the protection of children has been the north star that has guided this councils
11:38 pm
approach on this draft and brings us together today to vote on the text before us. and 1000 pastor vanessa frazier has just said the key elements of this resolution. and what they mean in practice for the people of cause a must not be underestimated. for the children and other palestinian sheltering from the hostilities for these really children and others still held hostage and for un humanitarian and medical workers who are risking their lives to help alleviate the norm as a humanitarian suffering on the ground. this text is also what humanitarian actors have consistently called for, as the bare minimum for them to be able to achieve their life saving work to the resolution means in real time enough time and space for search and rescue operations to save those children who are buried under the rubble, including the $1500.00 who have been reported missing there, it means that fuel food, water, medicine,
11:39 pm
and other essential goods can be delivered at scale. it means that sick and injured children can be evacuated. these extended pauses will also help reach those held hostage, particularly children, whose resident, whose release this resolution calls for unconditionally. in addition, the text is unequivocal, and it's the mom, the old policies to the conflict, comply with their obligations under international law. through this text, the council also rejects the force displacement of palestinians. this is essential 2 thirds of the population in gaza or palestinian refugees who have already suffered from the consequences of force displacement in their cost. and once again, in the last 40 days, nearly 80 percent of those living and gaza had been uprooted again. finally, with the cold in this resolution for the sec, for general, to bring options to the council for the monitoring and reporting mechanisms. in
11:40 pm
this text, we have a, the intention of this resolution to create the space needed for humanitarian actors to do their work. mister president, this resolution is a 1st important and overdue step by the council. and it is for these reasons that we will vote in favor of it and it has the support of my group. however, the way he remains resolute that we must work towards a last thing humanitarian ceasefire. we must not lose sight of this urgent goal. thank you. i think the representative of the you a switching the fast. alrighty or so i show now hold, put to the vote. the press, the resolution contained in to come to us 2023 slash 8 to 76. you losing
11:41 pm

11:42 pm
sounds good. okay, so now, okay, so the fuel to those council members who wish to make a statement off to the vote 1st gave the full name to the representative of the united states. thank you mister president. over the past month, the world has watched with understandable frustration and increasing concern. as this council has been unable to speak out on this pressing matter of international peace and security. and it was not for lack of trying we got very close last month when the united states put forward a strong and balanced resolution that would have been adopted if not for the toes
11:43 pm
by russia and china. and honestly, i think many had given up hope that we would ever speak on this conflict, but that's exactly what we just did. we got this done because most of us worked constructively in good faith to adopt a resolution. and i want to thank malta and other members of this counsel for leading this initiative at the top. i want to say that i'm horrified that a few members of this council still cannot bring themselves to condemn the barbaric terrorist attack that harass, carried out against israel. on october 7th, what are they afraid of? what is stopping them from unequivocally condemning the actions of a terrorist organization that is determined to kill jews and that gun down
11:44 pm
civilians burn families, live and executed children. a group that killed and took hostages, including children from over a dozen countries, including the united states. there's no excuse for failing to condemn these acts of terror. must be crushed, crystal clear mos set this conflict in motion. because some us only cares about the death and destruction of these really people. they do not care one whit about the safety and the protection of the palestinian people. if they did, they wouldn't use civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, schools, mosque, and hospitals to store weapons and operate command and control notes. they wouldn't use in a cent vulnerable people. as human shields, the ultimately the united states could not vote yes on
11:45 pm
a text that did not condemn moss or rear from the right of all member states to protect their citizens from terrorist attacks. the council repeatedly has made clear that we stand against all acts of terror. this horrific attack must be no exception. and the united states will continue to urge this council to condemn her mouse as actions. although the united states is deeply disappointed by what is not in this text, we support many of the important provisions. this council has adopted. for starters, while this text does not include con, a condemnation of a mouse, this is the 1st time we've ever adopted a resolution that even mentions the word from us. in addition, we fully support this resolutions call for the immediate and unconditional release
11:46 pm
of all hostages, held by a mouse and other groups. this is a humanitarian imperative. we're working tirelessly to facilitate the safe return of all hostages, including 9 missing americans. and one permanent us citizen, we have also advocated for humanitarian pauses to allow for full, rapid save and an injured humanitarian, next access to civilians in gaza. while we made some progress and wrapping up the flow of humanitarian assistance to gaza, much more aide is urgently needed. the current levels are willfully insufficient, as we continue to work tirelessly to increase deliveries of aid. and we're hopeful that the humanitarian pauses will help to you and,
11:47 pm
and humanitarian partners deliver aid and enable the safe passage of civilian sling violets. colleagues, we've been clear as to our expectation that parties to the conflict will comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law. and for israel, this is an added responsibility, as somebody says, deeply embedded itself within the civilian population in gaza. but we've been clear at the highest levels of masses actions do not less than israel's responsibility to protect innocent people in gaza. at the end of the day, this all comes down to one clear, urgent go to save in and set lives. the told this conflict is taken on civilians is tragic. the loss of every single in
11:48 pm
a sense life is devastating. and we agree for all those who have been killed israelis and palestinians, men, women, children, and elderly people, people of all nationalities and face. and more than a 100, you and staff, and the families and loved ones of unreal workers. hot in the crossfire. over the past few weeks, i've spoken with humanitarian leaders who have teams in the region. and i've heard time and time again that while humanitarian workers are exhausted and often times in grave danger, they are determined to fulfill their life saving mission. and i'm in all of their bravery us to manage area and so putting themselves in harm's way to save lives, but they should not have to because they should be protected. all civilians should
11:49 pm
be protected. that being some of us must stop using people, including hospital staff and patients as human shields. these are acts of unthinkable cruelty and cowardice. that also means that as israel exercises it's right and indeed its responsibility to protect his people from acts of terror. it must do so in a way that is consistent with the laws of war. and i want to be clear. the united states does not want to see firefights in any hospitals when innocent people helpless people, sick people are trying to get medical care. they so desperately need patients and the people who care for them must be protected. full staff colleagues ultimately, while this resolution is a step forward,
11:50 pm
its adoption alone will not save lives. and that is why, from the very start, president biden and secretary blinking have worked exhaustively with the united nations and other humanitarian agencies, alongside our regional partners, to respond to this crisis. to save lives, we all need to support the heroic efforts of the un and other humanitarian workers in gaza. and we all need to work with partners in the region to secure the release of all hostages and prevent this conflict from spreading. as we do so, we believe we must also start to look to the future and lay the groundwork for sustain piece. this must put the palestinian people's voices and aspirations at the centre, a post crisis governance in gaza. it must include palestinian lead governance and
11:51 pm
gaza unified with the west bank under the palestinian authority. it must include a sustain mechanism for reconstruction and gaza. and it must ensure there is no use of gaza as a platform for terrorism or by the attacks. and it must include a pathway to a 2 state solution. i know it's hard to see that brighter future in this moment of darkness. but we must, we have to breaks my heart that we will never be able to bring back the children who have lost their lives or race. the trauma is really empower. standing in children living under this conflict are experiencing as we speak. palestinian children are playing the fighting and gaza crying out for help. as we
11:52 pm
speak is really children including a 3 year old american are being held hostage by from us. and it's really, children have been displaced from their homes, which are also under rocket attack. colleagues for this generation of children and for the next generation, we have a responsibility to strive for a brighter future for them. and we must ensure israelis and palestinians can live side by side in states of their own with equal measures of security, freedom, opportunity, and dignity. thank you mister president. i thank you. now i keep the flow to the representative of a couple the suited
11:53 pm
president. all right, we are live of the un security council that it has adult to the resolution. quoting for urgent humanitarian pauses in the israel from us conflict. soft a for the previous failure is the resolution was tabled by multiple good sits temporarily for 2 year period on the un security council. hope says malta is that the council could cover less around the need to save lives, particularly the lives of children. in terms of found that very pond 1240 against 3 extension is natively russia, the u. k. and the united states abstaining. let's speak to james base. i'll do it by the editor will help us unpack all of that. and james, i think it will sides, will the voice that we've had so far agree that this is a step in the right direction? yes, even the us ambassador lindsey thomas greenfield, who did not vote for this resolution pitch. she abstained. she said that she
11:54 pm
supported many of the things in the resolution of important, i think, to remind you of the key probation of this rabbit resolution. the security council now calls this is binding international. remember, for the urgent and extended humanitarian pauses in car doors throughout the gaza strip for a sufficient number of days to enable consistent with international humanitarian, little the full rapids safe. a non hindered humanitarian access for united nations humanitarian agencies and the implementing partners. so they have now said they have now voted for not just a pause of a few hours, but something which would be a sufficient number of days to allow the a to spread out all over the gaza strip. will israel comply, i think is quite the question. i mean, how do you go about enforcing them? well, it is binding international, but we know there are many security council resolutions that are binding international law that israel does not comply with. uh, but i think it will add, added pressure on his or help, particularly as the us decided to let this resolution go through. it could have
11:55 pm
used it's vito and it's worth telling you as you talked about those previous resolution to didn't go through the previous full resolution is probably the one that was the most to the nearest to going through was the one on the 18th of october. but that's when all the country's either voted for or abstained. and the only country that voted against was the united states. we will do that speed veto on october. the 18th, where we have 29 days since that date. and we know all the tests or if it goes up probably on the accounting. but in that time, that being 7600 mode that's on 3653 of those tests. what children. so very sobering statistic and what was cooled full then was a resolution cooling for humanitarian pauses. what the us has now allowed 29 days later to go through the objection to the time from the us ambassador, who put a hand up against the book. that resolution 29 days ago was that she was unhappy
11:56 pm
that they hadn't explicitly mentioned israel's right of self defense. there was no condemnation of home us, right? well guess what? neither of those are in this resolution either right? let's look at him briefly. if we can about this attempt by russia to amends this resolution, the key point was that they wanted wording that included the phrase sustainable troops. what was the objections, the why did that's not aligned with the? well that was, that was a cool for us. the spot on the us has made it clear that a permanency spot is something that it would block. and so i think the, all the countries that voted against that voted against it because it knew that that would be the us be to coming through even if they, those countries did want to see spa. they certainly didn't want to have another veto. they want to have something that maybe the un can work with on the ground. remember, we've heard early run today from the u. n's emergency relief, cool. nice the on the secular general for humanitarian it f as mos in griffith. who
11:57 pm
has made it absolutely clear that the un, the whole un system is on its needs right now. there is no fuel, as we've seen, the devastating a site that's had on the hospitals. we up, people close to starvation, we have the possibility with so many people crammed into gaza, of, of serious the disease breaking out the you and believes that the whole of cause a city that parts of it that hasn't been completely destroyed, is a breaking point as is and if you and the system and the un desperately needed, right, this to happen. uh, it is good news, but will as well comply. yeah. silence. the guns said most and griffith james base many thanks for that. just to summarize what has been happening at the un security council, little important resolution has been passed of committing israel 6 you monetary impulses in the israel have my school. that of course of to, for finance, for news shortly. thanks so much and i'll just the
11:58 pm
so many politicians want to be the republican party's candidate for the any stand, a chance it gets donald trump, if our planet is burning and we're running out of time, why aren't we doing more to deal with climate change? our american politics just getting to, i've been to a screen for most americans because it can look us politics. the bottom line is started out as a normal day. but as is often the case indeed occupied with back it, turn it up loud. do you want to do thoughts? so we were happy, it was a good day. then our car broke down. we got out to see what was wrong. the soldiers thought we were going to throw stones. they started shooting at us. i have took 3, put it in his right arm, the abdomen, and his left foot just a few months ago. a man and his brother where the, where did team doing and now you rate the currently more than a 180 minus has given these ranges many for as little as throwing stones at
11:59 pm
soldiers. let's do mentioned that in our potential headquarters. so this is the mentality by which these are, you know, sense of the 10 se mentioned that maybe have the same user take it to prison inside israel's parents need to apply for a visitation for me through the red cross. and that could take up to 3 months. in the meantime, the minor is cut off from the world. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are going through here to 0. we believe everyone has a story we're hearing expo 2023. the world, the fascination of joining us and let's discover
12:00 am
a better world expo. 2023. the the hello on the bulk of this of the news life coming up in the next 60 minutes. the un security council of adults, a resolution cooling for a temporary home, to fighting in gaza to allow humanitarian aid into the territory medical work as a race of transport. patients out of homes way is this rarely forces, right? because as largest hospitals, the as dozens of furniture will be.
