the display selection, figuration, new, great conflict with constant around the grade and the will put it through the roof replaced between the green and the russians. innovation was usually new, more than what we did not agree with the interpretation of the conflict as a and exclusively to way confrontation. whereas it has become clear a long time ago was that it's western it. first of all, your p and sponsors are working. use it as a you said it was a key or pershing, and the school for them presenting this as a russia ukraine and contract is a very convenient view of the world, is very comfortable behind, behind that otherwise they would have to acknowledge their i'm seeing the role they've played in the genesis of the, your friend in conflict, and we call on the members of the council to support these amendments. as regards the amendments submitted by the european countries, well, they are quite clearly replaced the sense of the american text. they make it into

watch and i don't, i don't know put to the vote. see like the proposed amendment. yeah. to insert an additional and sad create ambulance paragraph submitted by denmark found y'all, greece, lavinia, and the u. k. and i want to know what is and what we're watching, both as being at the or i series of amendments actually that are being voted on uh in the un security council with regard to a us draft that has been put forward on ukraine initially. russia had put forwards as the 2 amendments suggesting that in order to weaken the language, essentially placing the blame on uh on the russia, which was counter to put a series of proposals that the u. k. headlight on behalf of the funds, denmark's the video agrees to try to strengthen the us draft in terms of putting the responsibility for the you can, can refrain conflict on to rush out what are bringing,

gave others onto the united nations headquarters in new york. he's been sitting across all of this for us and he's been watching it pretty close. i gave you understand how these pros house is what it looks as though at the moment they seemed to be working their way through the amendments that the u. k. representative barbara woodward had put pharma just described to us where we are at the moment in the uh, yeah, this is highly unusual. uh, there rarely are amendments that are proposed, but they do happen sometimes. and there's maybe one or 2. and it usually comes from one country, if you will. this case we have 5 amendments to a us draft resolution. so what they're doing, the chinese ambassador, because they're china holds the rotating presidency of the security council for the month of february. he's going through each amendment and putting each one to vote and so far as about 2 minutes ago, all of none of them have passed. they've all been shut down. they haven't got enough boats to pass. so this is sort of the intricacies of the procedural

mechanisms, if you will, of the security council. uh, what we are waiting for now is after they get through all the amendments to get to the main resolution. and the main resolution is the us resolution. uh that uh basically these 3 lines uh, the european leaders and diplomats have already said they do not like they do not plan to vote for it. it's the us resolution that the us put for a vote in front of the general assembly about 5 or 6 hours ago in his very building that european leaders put other amendments to. so this has been really a very unusual day. you normally don't see things play out quite like this. the big headlines so far is, is that the, the u. s. has been reviewed so far from the vast majority of member states and the general assembly who shut down their 1st proposal, saying that it was just to,

to, to biased towards russia. now the us proposing the exact same resolution here. we should have a vote on it, probably within the next few minutes, as soon as they get through all of these resolutions, it'll be interesting to see how many boats it gets. uh, what i'm hearing is it's not going to have enough boats to pass. and so, but we'll see it's, it's very convoluted. uh, very much uh, unusual situation that we're seeing playing out here at the u. n. right now, gave up for thanks very much and do for that. i know you're going to be watching it for us, and we can see that the procedure is still going on at the moment of those votes. uh, continuing different r. thank you very much. and did cable amazon, do it to you? and i want to bring in michael by and he's a farm, the us deputy assistant secretary of defense for your pin and nature policies. joining us from john, stand in pennsylvania. so thank you very much indeed for being with us. i appreciate you've been waiting very patiently has been me marching this procedure. i've been un security council, but as i say, encapsulate the kind of tension is and

a difficulty when it comes to diplomacy with regards to ukraine does not match. and you know, sure does. and it reminds us that this is a process that has just started and it's going to go on for a very long time, and it's going to get even more complicated. i want to talk to about the, the, the meeting that we saw earlier when i would have broken it out because of the things that we saw earlier on. first of all, of most of your opinion, members who was saying that they didn't keep, that they were going to give significantly more age billions of dollars, in fact uh to ukraine in terms of the optics of this. how much of that is about trying to find a solution for the warning you train and how much of it is also about european countries trying to effectively appear resilience in the face of the trump administration. and it's discussions with presidents document person i literally, i live very well the do you think, regardless of one's perspective of the process is underway in the united states has to get russia to the table. and you can do that by continuously for reading your

future negotiating partner for all of the europeans to make sure you kind is fully supported. so that when russia, the united states, you crank and you're sitting at the table together, you frame your then the united states in the strongest possible position as folks are playing out in a very unusual way. but i think it's plain of the best interest of all the countries in the west, including you, me with regard to the role of a european union. um, interesting. we find a president's a monumental and president shrunk of where having their press conference in the white house, there are some lines coming out from vladimir putin who was actually suggesting he had no objection to the european union being involved in the go see ations, but it was in your opinion, there wasn't talking to him, but it's not dynamic expected or is that a bit of a switch and what we've been seeing in the past? oh no, it's absolutely expected. everyone is positioning themselves for the eventual negotiations at the table. it's interesting, the family's spokesman,

the last week said that russia had no objection to ukraine joining the european union recall this paradise of started when the ukrainians were about an association agreement with the european union. well, that's a huge concession on the part of much as i'm going to drawing your experience in terms of being a former us deputy assistant secretary of defense for your fee and nature policy. because we're seeing this often to this point, very much centered around you train and involving the united states and russia. i want to ask you about your assessment of the us strategic approach to this. is there a wider picture that we should be looking at because we know that russia has alliances with china, for example, and we know that the trump administration particularly regards china as a significant economic threat if nothing else. yes, thank you for raising that. this is reminiscent of president reagan meeting president gorbachev for the 1st time after 6 years of

a very difficult and very dangerous relationship between the united states and the soviet union action, especially when you consider the deployment of problem of keys. this will be her, was a near death experience for nate every year. and this was the 1st time we've been down this path and, and to the, again, it's a process. first step is for the united states to re establish a relationship with the russian. i think issue with your reports at the top a program and that's that i want to go stations about the warranty should have already taken place. no, not usually. that was the discussion about global issue and geo strategic perspective. and from that point, now, the national big, the challenge for the united states is china. the challenge for europe, russia, russia, in china, are together the, everybody's interest in the west. that we spent those to make sure that russia is independent of china. and because they are on the verge of becoming a slave to china, which is about to be good for the public. michael ryan, for another. thank you very much indeed because i want to take a view as back to what's happening in the, at the security council in the united nations and just got

a sense of what's happening with the thing here. this is nicholas bear, javier, who is the representative from funds that the security council i'm talking about last, you know, goal capitulation of the victim for you. we call for a peace which should be found it on the transfer of the united nations and on international law. which should markets a distinction between the aggressor russians and the address state, the victim, crime of that will be no peace and security anyway, if aggressions rewards it. and if the law of the jungle wins the piece that we want must respect the sovereignty territorial integrity. and the independence of ukraine. thank you. well guys, here are what i found crypt, somebody from 2nd floor tooth reps and not to keep them. and today marks 3 years since rushes unprovoked. full scale invasion of ukraine.

today we remember the millions of ukrainians displaced. the 10s of thousands of civilians killed the lives destroyed by president putin's imperial ambition. as the secretary general said again yesterday. so this war is illegal. a clear violation of the un charter and a threat to the cool principles of the un. no one wants peace more, the new crane. but the terms of that peace map to only a just peace one, the on those, the terms of our charter went into the terms of a peace must send a message. so aggression does not pay faces. why

that can be no equivalence between russia and ukraine in how this council refers to this war. if we are to find a pulse to sustainable peace, the council must be clear on the was origins. we also owe it to the people of ukraine who have suffered so much russia chose to launch a will of aggression against the suffered states for the game today. is seeking to obfuscate that fact. we must also insist on respect for the un charter and ukraine, silver, tea and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized ford is upholding the child to is the responsibility of every member of the un and

especially every member of this council. every member what, how and what terms. this war ends a can only be decided by negotiations with ukraine. no peace will be sustainable without to crane's consent. we regret that all proposals making these points clear were not taken on board. and as such, we could not support this resolution, but we shared the ambition to find a last thing and to this war, supported by robust security arrangements to ensure ukraine never again has to face russia's attack. as my prime minister has made clear,

the u. k remains ready to play its part. we will continue to provide ukraine with the support it needs to protect and defend itself and its people. we remind the council, russia could achieve this tomorrow by ceasing its aggression and withdrawing its forces from o of ukraine. i thank you for guys. it wrap up. do not keep the keep them i should now get the floor to breath representative of slipping. thank you, mr. president. it is exactly 3 years since the russian federation launched. it's a good restaurant on ukraine. us in clear violation of the un charter. these are life pictures from the u. n. c. here to cancel in a new york for the security council has been debasing a us at draft resolution on uh, ukraine id to has adopted that draft resolution. we have seen in the past half hour

or so a series of amendments which are being put forward to by on one side, the u. k. also leading funds to denmark's of india and greece. this has faced with union representative speaking at the moment, which were attempting to strengthen the language of the us draft resolution to place more blame and more responsibility for the the war in ukraine on russia. i was counted by 2 resolutions ever put forward by vice and leave me a bunch of the russian representative who wanted to to, we can start in the elements of the draft resolution and to undermine the resolutions the amendment straw that had been put forward by the u k and others subsequently, however, the draft resolution put forward by the us in its original form appears to have been adopted. i want to bring in deb amazon dot the united nations headquarters in new york because gabriel's been sitting across all of that and understands how this this process works. gave. this was an indication of nothing else of the level of

tension that the still remains. of course, over ukraine and the unwillingness of russia to be held responsible for what has been happening in ukraine. whereas other european nations, particularly, are attempting to place blame squarely at most close door in the road. we need to, to yeah, that's right. i think uh this day here, do you and if it's approved 2 things very clear. number one, the risk between the european countries and the trump administration is further than it is probably ever been. and that was very clear here. as we saw this day play out here in new york, and i think you're also going to see the trump administration, perhaps spin. this is a victory because in one way it was because this us a draft resolution that has just been adapted while it was very watered down, while it did not specifically call for russia to withdraw from ukrainian territory

. while it did not specifically point the finger at russia for instigating this conflict, all these things that the european countries were pushing for and other countries as well. not just european countries, but so many were pushing for, for 3 years now and stating as fact for so long. now this resolution has passed even though it is watered down and it is, and this has been somewhat significant. the 1st security council resolution on the ukraine, russian war there has been adopted in the last 3 years. and trump can say it was my administration, but got that done to ensure it was a very watered down uh uh, resolution. uh, very few people are happy with it, particularly uh, the french uh, and the british, as you just heard from them, both of them have stained but it did get through. so this is where we're at right now and it's very clear. make no mistake about it, that the us is no longer on the side of the european union when it comes to the

conflict in the ukraine. the us as a very much a more neutral past year. if not a pastor that is more conciliatory to rush, you know, a major major change here. diplomatic policy for the us playing out here in the whole of the united nations. yeah. what has been interesting is the fact that during the of the voting, the us was actually voicing with russia. i believe finding that final vote was taking place. it was, and another on all the points. it was abstaining from voting in order to avoid the strengthening of the language in its draft resolution. and of course they baptized into a wider situation, doesn't it? when we talk about the negotiations that are going on essentially between the trump administration and the administration of president vladimir putin when it comes to the future of ukraine. and of course, the ukraine representatives at the united nations desperately trying to make fair

case to be hired in any sort of negotiations we need to reaffirm, i'll commit to you. that's right. the us voted for obviously their own resolution with russia, as you correctly pointed out, and with china among the 7 other nations on the security council. this is a major, major shift because when it came to the ukraine or over the last 3 years, it was always russia on one side, sometimes joined by china and it was always france, the u. k. and united states on the other side. that's simplifying it, but that's essentially where the line was drawn. that has totally changed. it's totally flips now. and i'll tell you something, the general assembly resolution that was voted upon earlier. it was spearheaded by more than 50 most a european countries and ukraine itself. the past,

the us voted against that and you know, who also voted against it. well, of course, russia, you know, who else? north korea as well. so the us is now voted with russia and china in the security council. and on the very same day voted with russia and north korea on another resolution favor and ukraine. so this is a script that you could not have even imagined being written a year ago, perhaps even 6 months ago. but things have certainly changed when it comes to us policy, as it plays out here in the halls of the diplomacy here at un headquarters i gave we have about 60 seconds left with you, but i just wanted to bring it bring you up with something or talk to you about something, the doctor shave the us representative at to you and said uh with regard to the draft resolution. it says she said it is time for us to bring to you and, and the security council back to its original purpose. the path to peace, not, i'm paraphrasing, we have about 30 seconds, but that is a significant shift,

isn't it? because there's a b u and has lost a lot of credibility over the last several last 3 years. and there's conflict as they certainly have, but it's really in the eyes of the beholder. and you would say that not necessarily when it comes to france and the u. k. they would certainly argue that. and they did argue that in their remarks, certainly this is rhetoric that's coming from the united states. the us, the u. n. has lost some credibility, but i think you'll hear ambassadors over the coming hours and days, either private. we may be some publicly saying, perhaps even the us is now losing little credibility as well. we'll have to see how that plays out game. thanks very much. indeed. that's gabriel alexander the united nations. and we've been bringing you a live coverage of a votes by the un security council, which on the draft resolution submitted by the united states. and essentially, moving towards some sort of pos to was piece within your frame that despite amendments that have been put forward by the u. k. funds of denmark,

slovenia increased, it has been adopted. i'll be back in a couple of minutes with more the, as china ramps up to full patients of north korean, defective human rights group, say they faced imprisonment, torture, and even death in the home country. in desperation, some involve dangerous journey. $1.00 oh, $1.00 east reveals north korea's claim to factors on al jazeera, the holding the 5 foot 2 accounts, which we examined the us each row in the on alger 0. i have the right, the boycott, anyone i want to in the state has no business getting involved in that got chosen and blessed us because we protect israel. i want to continue. do want to state level all that i can't support the 3 part series explodes,

the implications of us and people who called lower the freedom of speech and 1st amendment rights more about the issue, whatever i'm looking for somebody on. so i talked to him coat on, which is 0 in a dark room with no electricity. in fact, my id shows us the house. she makes a living she's displaced from come to has been missing since the war began. she's been shoved, couldn't, was, has 7 children in a school room. she just had the, the income is 5000. so then he's pounds. that's just to us dollars. this is and he said, custom says more than 70 percent of the people just based by the conflict women and children, most of them are really unhappy with those or are raising their children alone. aside from displacement, 10 cities, human rights organizations, say they for just an endless cases of abduction and sexual abuse again. so then these women, local assistance committees organize workshops for hundreds of women and girls
