12:00 am
we're hearing some just discussion of the amendments that have been proposed by austria and the united states to the draft resolution that would inject her moss and responsibility for the attacks of october 7th and condemnation of the tax for october 7th into the draft resolution. while right now, the basset or for pakistan is calling for urgent action to get the vote and to uphold international law. what we're hearing from many countries is that the credibility of the united nations is on the line here. that respect for international law requires respect for humanitarian efforts and the need to get a humanitarian aid in being so desperate that it is now that this must move forward . and it was very clear from what the us ambassador said that despite whatever shifts in tone that might have been from the,
12:01 am
by the administration. when it comes down to a vote at the un, whatever the amendment that they are trying to bring in. they were going to maintain that position that was clear from what ambassador linda thomas greenfield said. she said that they support aspects of this resolution uh and that they support the amendments that have been filed. but she said anything that calls for an immediate cease fire would be that any a meet that a full ceasefire would be temporary of best and dangerous at worst because it would leave him off and power. clearly the united states is not on board with a ceasefire. that would allow him us to stay in power and that's what they are arguing. this would allow because it would be brought in and israel would not be able to continue its military operations that would not serve the long term interest. she argued of palestinians and israelis and the desire for
12:02 am
a 2 state solution, something that the united states and israel has argued will not be possible as long as him off susan power. right, kristen, thank you actually say that again, that they don't even with the amendments. they don't intend to support this christian. thank you very much. i as right, so daniel leaders left us with still he was so much choice in terms of what we were just discussing earlier about the situation with. i was held captive by, i'm us and, and others inside garza. so the issue for benjamin netanyahu, you know, is only intensifying in terms of the opposition within these really society to the continuation of the war, or is that some elements of israeli society, especially those relatives of as being held. and given that, how do you see that, that playing out, that there's the sheer fact that there is no prospect of a ceasefire. it seems to spite whatever is voted here at the u. n. g a. and so
12:03 am
nothing yahoo politically, it's becoming increasingly difficult. the issue with those being held captive that's been given doesn't. yeah. who's weak spot? the hostages and the release of the hostages. i myself, it through the u. n. was engaged in, in discussions in the past where you were trying to bring back is ready soldiers or bodies of his ready assault as an incredibly motive and difficult issue. and so what those families are going through is obviously got wrenching for them, which is why we have to go back to what is the proof of concept, which is to work extra hard on getting those hostages out, as well as getting by the city and prisoners more of whom had been taken in until arbitrate detention since the relates had been taking place. we need to get back into that and not this time just to was humanitarian pauses. because we
12:04 am
can see how fragile that is. linda greenfield talked about the, the, you in the us invested with you and talked about sustainable piece. well, the past, the sustainable piece is through via really single hostages and then working seriously on the humanitarian side. so that we can of the monetary and disaster that we are now at that given what would any effects of having the austrian amendment calling for an immediate release added to this resolution? the i mean is, is there any kind of, well, that's the strong language already in the resolution. asking for immediate release what the austrians want is a mention of, of how months, how of on us this. this is semantics. surely the goal is to get those hostages out there and for we need to adjust breaking this sort of time on. we have this ready represent speaking in the u. n. g a. this is a resolution that we only pro long the death and destruction in the region. that is precisely what a ceasefire means. colleagues, on october 6th,
12:05 am
there was a states fire and it was abruptly violated. not by israel, but by 3000 must not season. we invaded my country, raping women, be heading babies, burning families alive and deliberately exterminating innocent civilians like insects. what would your country's do if you're worrying is rose shoes? cold for a ceasefire? what, what must go do be jean eastern border? how would you respond? everyone here knows exactly on december 1st, there was another pause in place. and again, it was violently ended by some us isis who refused to release women, held hostage and continued to fire rockets and me solves on our town and cities
12:06 am
come us raped women, committed a heinous acts of sexual violence, took women and girls hostage. and he's not the only refusing to release them, but he's also refusing, the red cross has access to them no more crimes, more heinous than the atrocities from us committed. and those that support this resolution are giving the terrorist a free pass. a ceasefire means one thing and one thing only ensuring this, the survival of hum us ensuring the survival of genocide. those surveys committed to the in that election of is read and use. this is no secret how much the charter makes this clear. how much leaders have publicly stated that the dover 7th was just a rehearsal. they have declared that they will repeat their a trust series again and again until is ready to seize us to exist. so why would anyone want to a promising continuing the role of terror and the actual i think there's that date
12:07 am
say panic agenda. 6 we all know that the so called humanitarian ceasefire in this resolution has nothing to do with humanity. it is there is already taking every measure, every measure to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid into gaza. thousands of 8 drugs have entered with tens of thousands of tons of humanitarian aid field. the hospitals have been constructed slow, think hospital ships have been docked and the only reason more a does not entering does is because un bodies refuse refuse to solve the logistical difficulties. preventing all the a drugs waiting and rough uh, from entering. if this resolution is proving 10 was you might need terry and aid. it would be focused on improving the jo ann's logistical capabilities. not on a ceasefire. a ceasefire will only benefit the terrorist that speed they still do
12:08 am
many, terry, and 8 for themselves. it will not benefit the people of garza. is this your solution? what will happen the day after the seas fire with this bring peace and stability to the region? of course not a ceasefire is a death sentence for countless mores riley's and god's ends. by voting in favor of this resolution, you are supporting the survival of jihad, the stare, and the continued suffering of people of guys, of the exploitation of the policy in. yeah. and has made, do you on a more of a stain on humanity? why are you continuing to allow them to make the united nations irrelevant? if this body's intentions are just, why don't you just start by demanding a ceasefire? only from those responsible for violating the past to? why don't you hold the right place then?
12:09 am
child, murder is accountable, the time is come to put the blame where it belongs on the shoulders of the from us monsters. but this resolution does not even condemn come us. it doesn't even mention some months. i honestly don't know how can someone look in the mirror and support a resolution that doesn't condemn come. 1 and doesn't even mention from mazda by name. so at the very last, i urge you to vote for adding a condemnation of a modest through the resolution. but you know what? i have an idea. if you want a reinstate fire, here is the right address. this is the phone number of mazda is a face in gaza. you can always call plots 970-599-3765 ask for if you have seen was how much to put down their arms,
12:10 am
turn themselves in and return our hostages. this will bring a complete ceasefire that we last forever. so why are you not doing this? why are you not holding? come us accountable? ironically to days, the united nations international day of neutrality, the day on the weight, the un reminds itself to be an impartial mediator. indeed, escalating conflict. ignoring the war crimes of genocide the term is on to day of all days. this body further proves its utter irrelevance. what a disgrace. but this resolution as absurdity goes further than protecting genocide though terry's this resolution is a written paradox. on the one hand, it's called for a ceasefire. yet on the other hand it calls for the release of all hostages. oh, have you forgotten who you are dealing with? have you forgotten the mazda organization?
12:11 am
holding the hostages, has 0 respect for international law. i use this resolution will not secure the release of hostages. in fact, mister president, a ceasefire would only ensure that there is suffering is extended at the hands of the terrorists. come, as does not respond to general assembly resolutions come us a response. only those threats only survive on continuing, gives rise operation in gaza. is the only way any hostages will be released. this disgraceful resolution serves only one purpose to try to tie is rise hand and allow how much to continue its reign of terror. calling this institution was founded in the wake of the whole coast. it was established to prevent such atrocities from even ever happening again. but by supporting this resolution, you are doing exactly the opposite. you are voting in favor of a genocide though you had disorganized ation. mister president, unlike our enemies is red, believes in life and peace. no brazen violence,
12:12 am
no piece of paper, especially one that is adopted by a bias politicize the majority. we present these red from defending itself against those that seek our destruction is red, is fighting a war for her future. there is not a single member states here, not a single member states here that would act differently in a similar situations. a cease fire only serves to pro long how much is written up there. so i urge all member states to vote against this resolution. thank you mister president. i found the representative of the state of israel for his statement. and i now give the flow to the representative of south africa on behalf of the african states.
12:13 am
okay, so i'm not sure if we just heard the from get out down the representative israel to the united nations. saying that a ceasefire would extend the suffering of his ready hostages. so to cease by was a vote in favor of a gibbon genocide or do you, how does the organization saying that the un become a moral staying on humanity? i mean, what did you make of what you had to as well? if rhetoric isn't it it's, it's the rhetoric we've heard from the it's really invested to the you and many times before. i think what's more interesting is the statements we've heard from australia, canada, new zealand delete. as of that, where they have quoted said that the price of defeating how mouse cannot be the continuous suffering of all palestinian civilians. and i think we've reached that point haven't way we've reached that point that is there a military way in which for israel to even reach its state to the objective and for
12:14 am
the united states to continue support that, which is the elimination of i'm us. i don't, i don't think any of us believe that that price is with the thing is what it really means is a complete destruction of gaza, of making it completely uninhabitable. i mean, i know guys are well, like i lived there when i was with you and what started the 2nd intifada, the destruction that we're seeing now already makes it extremely difficult for people to go back to some of those areas of fuel pumping. see water into tunnels and into the, the water system. how is that going to help people be able to have a sustainable life in such a situation? i think that's what astray the canada as well as a new zealand recognizing and i think what's key here is what is the united kingdom day to do? it's because these are the 30 cycle commonwealth countries as well. now i believe the united kingdom has a big responsibility now in this vote, it had stained in that security council vote on friday didn't v to hasn't vetoed
12:15 am
since 1989. but now i believe the united united kingdom has to go further. otherwise, it's going to look rather like it's back a united states in what is becoming an increasing unpopular military campaign in the house of the middle east, rather like they did in 2003 in iraq. and that would leave the united states still further isolated is that what happened? but anyway, thank you. so i'm on. so now we will carry on with some other news, at least on the ground and goes with the desk told is rising as his ro press is on with his bump up into the strip. almost 18 and a half 1000 palestinians have been killed since october. the 7th, as ali hush in ripples the moment is ready forces between 8 to school in bay 10, northern gods. hundreds of displaced families had been shows the ring of the you and rome facility from the north to the south. nowhere and the
12:16 am
strip is safe. hey, i building has been turned into a graveyard of memories. the and the height of time it is for the house and drop off in the fall south of guys would be saved from is really bumps. they were all good. so what, how does the refrigerator? because those and feed job just the full morning praise, we heard a huge explosion. our neighbors were targeted and no one survived. this is what israel's been doing all the time and over his radio strike this time. and then we'll say about the future, you can send for garza, dozens, i q, the model, that's the beauty i need to saw. the destruction is massive. our neighbors, highest is, is most, were killed. more than 30 people. they were hosting displaced people make god bless all their souls. no one here has anything to do with the war. we are a civilian. there was no resistance on that street. there was nothing i want all of us are. so if any of this, the same story over i'm doing many different faces and different buildings,
12:17 am
this is on my god, is it a few g called after the one bottom and it's up to the neighbors to search for any survivors going to need. i mean, to be a 2 minute method. we were sitting safely in the house with civilians. we have nothing to do with disability for since that and suddenly missiles were folding on us mess around. 12 or 15 were killed. 4 of them were at my house, se they were displaced, people peaceful people. and i know once a volume they're still trying to find people under them. after more than 9 weeks off for lunch, this is really a tax. they joining the thousands of missing palestinians, whose bodies all you have to be to call that on the action just so you know, is there any prime minister benjamin netanyahu has acknowledged that the united states and israel have a different idea of what cause it looked like also respond to washington for it's ongoing support that, you know, specifically referred to the palestinian authority saying he doesn't want to control goes on a minute hold while we start an economy,
12:18 am
the economy. and i'd greatly appreciate the american support for destroying moss and returning all hostages. calling an intensive dialogue with present and by doing any team, we receive school back into the ground incursion and blocking the international pressure to stop the war. yes. is disagreement about the day of the home us, and i hope that we will reach an agreement here as well. and we would fill out. i would also like to clarify my position, which i will not allow is will to repeat that mistake of also not that of what was done correspondence covering this across the globe. patty cocaine is at the white house in washington dc 1st. so let's go to walk. you body's truce then and hummed us salute him the what was benjamin that the i will sleep saying, and here's a dress. a few hours ago is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is essentially reiterating a policy that he has had for the last couple of months saying that the palestinian authority is not
12:19 am
a viable option to rule the gaza strip once the war is over. but this comes in contrast to the united states who has said they want to see a revitalized palestinian authority take charge of the gaza strip. these really prime minister additionally saying that there are the disagreements between the united states and these really is on how they're going to manage what nothing you all who calls quote the day after him us. but the reality of the situation is that the prime minister is additionally hinting that the war is going to continue for some time. and another thing that he has previously stated is that israel will have some sort of security presence, meaning a military occupation, perhaps of the gaza strip for an unknown amount of time. and he says that that coincides with one of his overall objectives for the war, which is to ensure that these rallies feel no threat coming from the gaza strip in
12:20 am
the future. so there are these disagreements between the united states and these really is on what's going to happen. but remember, the americans are constantly bringing advisors and officials to israel to meet with nathan yahoo and his war cabinet to discuss a wide variety of issues. but also to discuss what's going to happen the day the war ends. a honda. thank you very much for that. so i'm ok buddy. seriously. meanwhile in washington, you as president joe biden for so that is real, runs the risk of losing support around the world. i think i'll have is bad at washington in washington, dc. apache. what more do we know about what he said at this campaign event? was a campaign event, so there wasn't any on camera presents. so we were just replying on what the pool had to say, but we have the transcript now and a lot of the the focus has been and what was perceived as biden's, criticism of these really governments, something that he really hasn't done publicly since the campaign began he did call
12:21 am
these really government the most conservative and israel's history. and he said some of these war cabinet members, not only do they not want a 2 state solution, they don't want anything to do with the palestinians. he said benjamin netanyahu understands that he needs to change, but that they work cabinet is making that very difficult for him. and just to show you how much they aren't on the same page, he went on to say this is a, quote, b, b understands that he has to strengthen the palestinian authority. so obviously not of the same page there. but he did say that, well, he believes that israel has the support of most of the world, which i think could be debated. but he's did say they have the support, but they risk losing it because of indiscriminate bombing. that is the 1st time we've heard the us actually describe what's going on on the ground and gaza as indiscriminate bobbing just to show you how far they've come. just days ago, the us secretary state just described it as having a gap on the ground between israel's intentions to try not hurts billions to what's actually happening on the ground. so
12:22 am
a very big change for that. what's getting less attention though is how do you as president spoke about him off he repeated the claims of him. also october 7th beheaded babies. he did that once before, only to have his h here talk to the process off camera and say new. he didn't actually see that he was just repeating things he had heard in the media. you would either come call him off animals repeatedly add. he said no, and this is a quote, but nobody and god's green earth can justify what harm austin, their brutal, ugly, inhumane people. and they have to be eliminated. so well, many world leaders are asking if the is really, is intention of trying to wipe out how moss is even remotely feasible. the president is saying, not only is it feasible, but it has to happen. all right, patty, thank you for that from washington. and meanwhile, there's been the reaction to those comments from joe biden, from israel's communications minister. i'm the can you bring this up to date on what he's been saying? right,
12:23 am
so israel's communications administer shlomo cobb, he releasing a post on ex, formerly known as twitter st. quote, we respect and cherish the presidents of the united states, joe biden, to one out of his way during the most difficult period of the state of israel. this is true friendship, but we live here. this is our country, the historical estate of our ancestors. there will be no palestinian state here. we will never allow another state to be established between the jordan and the sea. we will never go back to oslo and in the words of president biden, the security of the jewish people is at stake here. definitely, yes, a palestinian state would endanger that soul of these comments come as the united states has specifically to bind it. administration has been a staunch supporter of a 2 state solution,
12:24 am
specifically the this right wing government. israel is against that and it has been echoed through numerous officials, not just the communications minister. you have ultra nationalists in this is really coalition who have been very much against any sort of talks even about a palestinian state. but this is. 7 the only reaction from is really a specials this evening. these really armies spokesperson daniel, how gaiety, also speaking tonight, responding to those comments from president biden, saying that it was, quote, indiscriminate bombings on garza. these really are re spokesperson said that is roll shares. it's military intelligence and operational activities with the united states all the time, and that they do conduct themselves in their words, in a precise manner. however, this has shortly, not been the case, and remember, the americans have also been pressuring these rallies about how they are operating
12:25 am
in the southern part of gaza, saying that it needs to be more precise. the number of depths on the palestinian side is extraordinarily high and that they need to protect civilians. and that they simply cannot conduct themselves in the south the same way they conducted themselves in the north. so a lot of pressure on these railways from the americans, as there are still a lot of issues that needs to be sorted when it comes to the day after the war. and also how these really are going to conduct themselves for the remainder of their military campaign carry. honda, thank you very much for that from ok. parties to reason, as for the support of israel, by the, by the united states at the un that seems to be anointed, given what we've been hearing so far. christian. so we, me, is that monitoring what's going on uh, bring us up to date with what's happening right now. the 2 votes have just taken place on the amendments to the draft resolution that's been proposed calling for humanitarian sees fire and the release of all captives in does
12:26 am
up the resolution and amendments were sponsored by austria, one and the united states. both of them injected him us into the resolution one noting that they should be the ones to release captives in the united states amendment calling for condemning the attack of october 7th by him us. neither of these amendments have gotten enough support in the general assembly to pass. they would require a 2 thirds majority. they got each of them. one got 89 votes, one got 84 votes and as opposed to 61 and 62 against, so not 2 thirds, a majority, not enough to get these amendments attached to the resolution. so now we are moving forward with a vote on the resolution itself. and it looks like it has passed,
12:27 am
i can't see the number of those that it looks like 89. now i can see the number yet, but we're waiting for the total. we'll get the total in a minute for the resolution itself to see whether or not it gets the 2 thirds that would be required. and more importantly, as far as the palestinian group is concerned, how big of a majority gets. so here we go. 153 in favor. it looks like and you can see that the, i can see that the crowd is beginning to clear off in response to that. it's a 153 by comparison to the last resolution in the general assembly on god. calling for humanitarian pauses. i passed by a 122 votes. so you can see that support for dogs. a, an even stronger, a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. now has the
12:28 am
overwhelming majority of support of nations out of a $193.00 nations here at the united nations. 153 there. supporting supporting the resolution. a few extensions. 2010 votes again, i started by the ex kristen. thank you very much for that. we'll come back to i'm show later in the program, but certainly that's good to use on shake. founder of of the shows group for me, you unofficial with extensive experience in the middle east. let's pick up on the point the christian just made that there was a less powerful resolution not long ago, which got a 122 lights calling for humanitarian pause. this one is calling for a full ceasefire. and this go to an even bigger majority that shows how the ground has been shifting since, right? i was expecting a vote run about a $13035.00 for this resolution. this is a wow, this is a very big majority. this is
12:29 am
a global call for an immediate cease fire, and the flattening that you had that was an expression of the desire of the international community. now, to move forward with this, and we've been saying, well, evening, that's a very has no legal mechanism following such as that. it's not that necessarily is relative, abided by you and security council resolution either, but still there is no uh, sort of obvious way ins. winds nation lower such a vote in the un general assembly does the sheer number to something. nonetheless, yes, it does. i'll tell you why it's been to this number they, i think of rejecting the logic that there is a military solution to eradicating other illuminating homeless. i'm sure many of them would, would condemn him, us for his actions. they wouldn't want this kind of fighting to continue, but they want a sci fi, which means all sides. and then i think there is
12:30 am
a real desire and keenness to build a sustainable piece where you are able to move to another phase. but of course, 1st and foremost, civilian populations in both gaza and is ro protected at we have the hostages release. but more than that, we start to see the important transition that needs to take place, particularly in gaza, where more support is provided to the civilian population. and we start to work on that very difficult with of how do you affect the governance transition in gaza itself, which i would say is not applied, which can be written by these riley's or by the united states. it has to be done 1st and foremost by the palestinians themselves, in consultation with the international community with the arab group. and of course they negotiate that with the israelis. i say a lot of those members individually would condemn the actions on us. the 2
12:31 am
amendments naming him, i suppose, in terms of the month sausages to be released, the captives to be released. and also in terms of condemning, i'm asked for the october the 7th of tax. they didn't get a majority the, the amount of the, the 2 thirds majority required. why do you think? and i'm just saying, well, that is no way the world body is right now. it's focused on a, an immediate cease 5. i think there, there is a strong language in there about the media release of hostages, which is right unimportant. but i don't think they wanted to get into the semantics and the politics of this. the one to send a very clear message at this moment and signs. and i say that's why those 2 amendments didn't get through. you heard the is really on basset a disparaging, the entire process, the united nations. uh, essentially uh, just criticizing the, the whole idea of such a resolution for us these 5. so you would, any benefit from us and so on and so forth. does none,
12:32 am
the less the sheer weight of international opinion in any way start to invoke greater pressure on his right and on its actions in gaza? yes, it should. and of course the one country that can invoke that is the united states itself. look, i believe that the us does know that this has to come to an end, but i think this vote should shorten that. that timeframe. and i think what would be a helpful stop this to us, to go back to the negotiations to release those hostages and prisoners. and i believe there is some of that discussion now restarting, for the united states to put his efforts into that rather than trying to, to play fear, to in what is now a will body. that seems to be much, much, most serious about affecting humanitarians. these 5, when it comes to the us partner, benjamin at yahoo and his government we, we can't forget that before october. the 6th, they were effectively p n. j 8. benjamin netanyahu had not been invited to the white house and some of his
12:33 am
ministers, the american government were not speaking to. so why rest your faith on, on these group of people in fact, that the yahoo is running his own election campaign within a military campaign. right now in gaza and surely that's not something that the united states can tolerate. now thank you very much. i mean, we need to go back to the un anderson into the saudi representative now. so i'm on another very difficult and more painful circumstances as the healing displacements campaign continues and as the violations of the original sions, of international and legitimacy and international law continue on business. and i'm the why the security council is unable to take any preventive measures before this campaign and before these violations. and as the international, the infinity continues, the targeting continues the to target hospitals the school
12:34 am
and residence building, leaving thousands of innocent civilians, the elderly women and children, the the. so the number of shaheen, a civilian death is more than $18000.00, including women and children. the sub accessor bates, the tragic humanitarian situation and god. so they, after they impose that the international community was unable to stop this catastrophe. my delegation stresses these serious humanitarians circumstances are a result of the continued escalation. they are, they are not justified city. yeah. yeah. i would say billions must be protected, this is main priority, and no compromise shall be made regarding it should probably be high. so you can, we've kind of, you have been failing to achieve this priority with the excess or be that this catastrophe which is the,
12:35 am
which falls upon israel and the international community. ladies and gentlemen, the arab islamic a conference held in the yard on the 11th of november. lucky life huge. i mean with the participation of all member states, the in the oh, i see adopted resolutions were presenting the aspirations of our people. just stop the blood shed and ensure that humanitarian assistance is delivered to stop the violations. to overcome this on, justified suffering and palestine in stand with the palestinian people so that they can achieve their legitimate aspirations so that they can revert and recover their occupied territories. and establish their independence states. it calls upon the international community and institutions the shoulder as responsibilities without any failure. the tragic circumstances and palestine require us to take
12:36 am
immediate action to immediately stop military hostilities and provide protection to civilians and to ensure the release of detainees and hostages in line with international law. and are here the principles of common mind, it seems it is important to find a peaceful solution to stop this violence violence and the region mr. presidency literally talk to the about the out of some members of the international community, the not support the ceasefire. and does not provide sufficient hereditary and assistance. so we, we express our stuff, you know, i mean, you can kind of do the dog did you? i don't, i mean, this may be that become the palestinian people are unable to live a dignified lives. once again, we called for seas for years to stop, the blood shed to protect civilians and the self, but the,
12:37 am
the collective punishment inflicted upon the people of god. so these are the priority is we will continue to work for peace and we will continue to call for the implementation and enforcement of it through national and the instruments and the current prices as a result of the failure of the international community to ensure the 2 state solution, it allowed israel to continue working with impunity. this is what led to the current crisis, and this is why we call upon the international community. the shoulder is responsibility to immediately stop this war and stop the blood. should we stress the need to reach a comprehensive and just solution for the palestinian question in line with the ever piece initiative? the 2 state solution and the establishment of a palestinian state with 2 routes and then as a capital in conclusion,
12:38 am
we think all those who supported the draft resolution, that's what just adopted by a huge majority of this reflects the international position. a to comes, tends to be the implement the compared to call for the enforcement of this resolution. thank you, mr. president. i found the representative of saudi arabia and i know, in fact the representative of india to take the floor mister president. okay, well we came across what's happening the at the u. n. christmas of the me who has be monitoring all the events so far joins us now. christian, well can tell us about what's been happening in the last few minutes. well we know that the resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian cease fire
12:39 am
in gaza and the immediate release of all those being held captive in gaza has passed overwhelmingly, in the general assembly with 153 nations supporting this resolution. only 10 against 23 countries abstaining. and what we are hearing now is responses to that vote, and we know that dozens of countries i've signed up to make remarks. they were asked to hold those remarks till after the vote so that the vote could be taken quickly. and with a sense of urgency, given the deteriorating situation on the ground and dogs of for the people living there. uh, the push to get more aid and i was really behind this boat and we heard many people talking many ambassadors talking about
12:40 am
