than art administration is right now. .. oligarchs. many of them have the money in the uk, cypress, not in the states. but i do think the sanctions can work. i think they are working to a degree. not boots on the ground for sure. the weapons that gene is talking about, that can be done through nato. very possibly. and not directly to the united states, but we heard from poroshenko yeste and we do need to support the right of the ukraines to be independent. i they want to go back to russia, that's their choice. if they want to go to the european union and go to the

best, which i think they do, shoot be their choice of -- should be their choice of free people to make that decision and we should happen them. >> host: dedetweets in: aren't many infections acquired in the hospital? why so little attention to simple prevention? >> guest: well, dee dee, that is correct. a lot of infections are acquired in the hospital, and some of the most horrific infections, whether contract ned the intensive care unit after persons admitted with severe trauma, or maybe it's from a ventilator where they develop these resistant infections, and all of this is being addressed as we develop these new antibiotics, and use them in a very limited fashion, and because we are using them in a limited fashion, so resistance is not developed, we have to give these companies an incentive to get involved and developing these drugs, the

incentive that we mentioned earlier, a five-year increased period of exclusivity so some generic manufacturer can't come right behind them before they've even had an opportunity to recover the money they spent in some cases billion dollars, to develop the drugs. so, there are a number of incentives, and of course, faster track to get their drug to market and this is being done. >> james, wyoming, good morning. >> good morning. thank you for your time. i would like to ask why do congress treat themselves like they're leaders, they can take vacations whenever they want to, they can take time off instead of doing the business that we elected them to do? >> guest: i have to answer that. the congressional schedule set by the majority, although i have

to admit, it's popular for the media to say when we're off in august, we're on vacation. now, most of the time, like this last august, did a lot of work in houston. i was at plant meetings, town hall meetings, we do immunization days. so congress doesn't just work when we're on the floor of the house. we also work in our districts. so, that's up to your member of congress. you judge on the house members every two years. you get to renew their contract. we're not like pro football player that gets a long-term contract. it's every two years. irthey're not earn aring your vote look somewhere else. >> guest: there's no more harder workers than the democratic colleague, gene green. i know that. as he says, when we go home we're not on vacation. and peter gave my bio at the top of the show. i practiced medicine for 30

years in georgia. i have in the last 12 years a member of congress put in more hours per day, per week, per year, than ier did practices medicine. i was a very busy ob/gyn special list and delivered 5200 babies. i loved this job. i'm not complaining. i wouldn't take anything for it but don't believe everything you read on twitter and facebook and the chatrooms and internet. members of congress, i know you're frustrated at us for not getting things done but we do a lot of work not getting things done. so it's not for a lack of trying >> host: mr. gingrey what are you doing after congress? >> guest: we love washington. my wife and i are very fond of the city, and billie, my wife, has been very involved in the bipartisan congressional club, and led the first ladies luncheon last year and got to know michelle obama very well.

we want to stay in washington, but i want to be involved in health care in some way. i don't think i'll actually be treating patients, although that's a possible. but for a trade association, or -- i think you'll see me around because i love policy and i love my colleagues and i don't want to leave them forever. i want to stay involved. >> host: gene green has a business degree from the university of houston and a law degree from that institution. virginia from oklahoma. republican line. virginia, you're on. >> caller: good morning. >> guest: good morning. >> guest: good morning. >> caller: i am so angry about these companies that are telling lies and trashing our founding fathers in commercials, in other words. and i will boycott any company and not buy from them.

this -- i was told i'm a relative of abraham lincoln, and they've really trying to trash him. >> host: well, virginia, we do appreciate your calling in this morning, and we'll good ahead and move on to john in pennsylvania. independent line. john, you're on the "washington journal." >> caller: okay, peter. it's laughable to mention work and this congress in the same sentence. these guys spend over, over 50 percent of their time raising money. working on their -- during the offtimes for congress, boehner raised money, raised $50 million or something to that effect, and played golf for the entire month of august. so, these guys are like inoperable tumors that are stuck in congress because of gerrymandering, and we're the ones that get the short end of the stick. >> host: john, who is your member of congress and do you

support him or her? >> caller: jopits, no way. 100% heritage foundation and the rest of the think tanks that are just koch brother financed and other big money people financed outfits to say what they believe, and then they just mouth it to their con sit tunes. >> host: thank you, sir. gene green. 50% of your time spend fundraising. >> guest: well, definitely not. i don't know where that percentage came from. but, granted, for those who run every two years we have to raise money. we don't fund our elections like some other industrialized partners do. so we have to raise money, and the speaker of the house has to raise money just like our minority leader does. but i don't think it's 50% because -- now, granted, had the same frustration you do. this congress has not been productive, and in fact i gate good laugh in houston when i stand up and say, hari truman was re-elected in '48.

runs against a do-nothing congress in '47. we did his this congress than the '47 congress. that's why our poll numbers are so slow. we're not doing bills like this. it's taken as much to get a hearing on it. so i don't blame the frustration. >> host: what about the gerrymandering issue? >> guest: that's an issue. our districts in texas are very jerrymandered. we have a vote rights act that does it, but somewhere long the way we have to get a handle on that. you're right, gerrymandering happened throughout our history. >> guest: peter, did john say his congressman was joe heck? >> host: i thought he said joe pitt. >> guest: joe pitt is a fine member of congress, long senioring chairman on the commitee on energy and commerce, and has been married to his wife ex-jeanie, for nearly 50 years. i don't think there's a finer member of congress than joepits and i'm sorry that john feels

that way, but, john, do agree with you in regard to the money. it's a huge problem. the citizens united decision, i don't think was good decision. quite honestly, and i just came through a senate race, republican primary, in my great state of georgia. obviously i didn't win that primary, and we do have a good candidate, and i think he will be next senator from georgia, but there is way too much money in the process. it's corrupting, it has the potential every day of being corrupting, and gene is right, we have to run in the house every two years, and you're right, john, we spend half of our time on the money trail. i will defend my leader, the speaker, john boehner, though. i promise you he plays a lot less golf when he is on that month august work period. he is going across the country to members' districts and trying

to help them and help them raise money. he has done a very good job at it. but john boehner is a good man. >> host: want to read this question: boehner, eyes agenda if g.o.p. cap tours senate. an an article about the agenda for the next congress, and been empty boehner, and it's a quote from don fur use who worked for speaker has certain, and it says mr. boehner is benefiting from the fact that republicans that came into office as part of the 2010 tea party wafer are growing up. they now understand that boehner knows what the hell he is doing. >> guest: well, here again, some people say that members -- it only takes to years for them to be co-opted away from their principles toward pragmatism. pragmatism is good but you never want to give up your principles and you always are, as they say,

remember the one that brung you to the dance and that was the 700,000 people in your congressional district. and i think john, of course, has to -- john boehner, speaker boehner -- has to herd a lot of cats. it's not an easy job. i wouldn't wish it on anybody. but i have supported him, and if i were voting again, would think john would do a very good job. i hope he returns to speaker in the 114th congress. >> have you witnessed that, gene green, people get co-opted by congress after a couple of years? >> guest: it's a political issue. if somebody can convince your folks at home you heave become washingtonizeed instead of coming from texas -- i go home every weekend so i don't lucas miss texas -- lose my tex accent, but if you want to stay year here, you need to make sure the folks you represent know what you're doing. my goal hawse always been, if i'm doing something in congress i can't show a benefit in our district, then i probably shouldn't be doing it.

that's why on health care, policy up here, but trying to expand access in our district in not a wealthy area of houston. >> host: scott, you're on the independent line. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. i would like to discuss the problems with the antibiotics. i believe it's from our food source, because you only go to the doctor maybe once or twice a year, if that, but you're eating a meal three times a day. so to me, what i found out was that, like, chickens, they're injecting and washing these chickens in antibiotics, and then you're enjesting them. so that's -- ingesting them. so that's where i believe the problem is. and that's from commercial farming, which is a big problem in the united states as far

as -- >> host: all right, we got the point. gene green? >> guest: that's true. although, those suppliers are also doing it to make sure their product is clean and safe for us, because those antibiotics also make sure that meat you and i digest is safe. but we have the same problem there with overmedicating. and you develop those antibiotic resistant illnesses, whether its be in an animal or human, that -- so that's our problem. it's not an easy solution. >> guest: that is exactly right, scott. and of course, it's the fda. the food and drug administration, created under the food, drug and cosmetic act. so, clearly, food is very important, and of course the usda is involved in this as well. but that's why the president and others have said that we need be looking very carefully at the

use of antibiotics in the agriculture space, particularly in raising animals, if you're using that for the purpose of enhancing growth of the animal, is that appropriate? is that an appropriate use? or does it lead to widespread resistance and morphing of these antibiotics? so, the bugs, these horrific bugs. so, i think you make a very good point there. >> host: gloria is calling in from brooklyn on the democrats line. >> caller: good morning. thanki'd like to first of all cd president obama from taking some action just from a humanitarian point of view, because i am sure anybody who was sitting there, if it was thunder daughter or son at that time was beheaded they might vote yes. the second thing, i have a question. what happened to those 15 kids

who took an injection for veep in syria this squeak they snide. >> that took a what? >> caller: they were vaccinated, but i heard that 15 of them died in syria. was on cnn this week. >> host: thank you, ma'am. >> guest: glory gloria, thank you for bringing throat our attention. i'll try to look into that. i'm not familiar with it. you did talk about the behead examination the president taking humanitarian action. i can understand that. think he was between a rock and a hard place, quite honestly in regards to public opinion, public opinion is that we've been in for 20 years, almost 30 years, but this long horrific battle in iraq and afghanistan, where we have lost over 7,000

killed and 30,000 severely injured, the american people are a little war weary, yet here comes isis, which is supposedly al qaeda on steroids, and they do these beheadings and put it on youtube for the consumption of our people to maybe -- i hope that this is not what is going to happen. it's kind of sucks us into a trap that we almost have to respond. the president had to do something. a lot of people feel strongly about that. both republicans and democrats. but i worry about three steps down the line what this ultimately will lead to, and if this is not part of isis' overall plan. to get us into a trap. >> guest: well, heard about those vaccinations. syria or anywhere else, the medication has to appear.

that could have been something that was already exposed and knowing some of the conditions in syria and other parts of the world, it may not have been a pure vaccine. >> host: from "the wall street journal" this morning, health official says 7.3 million paid premiums, the obama administration said thursday 7.3 million people who picked health plans through the new insurance exchanges paid premiums and maintained their coverage as of mid-august. has aca been a success story? >> guest: i have a district that is 2007 the highest in the country of people who, who who don't have insurance through their employer. so, thes affordable care act we identified 19,000 individuals in our urban district who now have access to health care through the national exchanges. texas didn't expand the medicaid so we're losing there but we have 19,000 that actually got into the market that may not have been there before.

it's not as much as i would like. i have a huge percentage of uninsured, but now the enrollment opening up november 15th, we want people to both enroll and also re-enroll. >> guest: no doubt that the 7.3 million number is manna from heaven as far as the administration is concerned after such a horrific start and adverse publicity. a lot of money and expertise went into fixing that computerized system to set up the people, the federalry run exchanges, and now they are -- i don't dispute this number, 7.3 million, and of course, that's the numbers maybe three or four million in regard to medicaid expansion. my real concern, of course, as a second signup period is approaching, pretty rapidly, what these insurance companies are going to charge insurance

premiums for the people that are in the exchanges that don't qualify for the government subsidy. if they qualify, then maybe they're going to pay a little bit less than they did before, or certainly those that had no insurance, they're better off than before. but people that had a policy that they liked, and the president promised them if they liked their policy, if they liked their doctor, they could keep them, and they find out that, no, they can't do that, and they have -- they're often a new policy on the exchange that is twice, three times as expensive and they're not eligible because of their income for any government subsidy. so, i think that's where the rubber really meets the road and we'll find out in the next couple of months where this program is ultimately going. is it going survive or not? i don't know. >> host: jim in -- thick we just talked to jim in pennsylvania. and we'll move on to bill in

washington state on our republican line. what's the name 0or town? >> caller: tilikum. >> host: please go ahead, sir. >> there's a way we can make energy down in california, by doing it we lower rising sea levels, we create hundreds of millions of kilowatts of energy every day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, green energy, by siphoning water from the ocean into death valley. >> host: thank you. john boehner spoke yesterday at the american enterprise institute and one of his issues that he talked about was increased energy production, and mitch mccobble talked beside the xl pipe lon. you're from houston, and you're a houston and a democrat. >> guest: i'm a texan. and in fact i supported the xl

pipeline. every been to canada and alaska on the north slope. our district is an industrial district. now has three refineries. up until redistricting i had all five refineries in the houston area. it's our job base and our tax base. during one of my stops was at these two tanks that transcanada is building in our district. it's 360,000 barrels each that will bring in oil now from curb cushing, oklahoma, for the refine riz. still need the per notice get the oil from canada. aim a believer in all of the above. in texas we have grown with wind power, the large nest the country. we need do better on solar, but our success and our energy renaissance now is what we're doing with natural gas and not only in texas, it's nice to have somebody vote with me who is not a texan or doesn't have my accent. pennsylvania, ohio, west virginia, lots of states are producing now natural gas just

like we are in eagle ford. of course, for oil, the base in west texas, we thought -- everybody thought it was dead but now it's done very well. i would say the term exploding but we don't use that in relation to energy production, but it's a success, and like i said we have our unemployment is lowest it's been any lifetime. >> host: wayne from kady, texas, a democrat. >> caller: thank you for allowing me to speak. i'd like to ask the retiring congressman from georgia, how much pension will he get when he retires and also, as taxpayers, will we be paying his health insurance, and after he tells me i want -- i have another comment. >> host: wayne, make your other comment. i want to ask you. do you think members of congress should get pensions? >> caller: i do not think they should. >> host: why? >> caller: they all make enough money they -- they should have 401k plans like the rest oversimple worked all my life and my whole pension is $326 a

month. they don't need pensions. >> host: all right. what's your final comment you want to make. >> caller: that was my final comment. >> host: thank you, sir. >> guest: i'll be happy to answer that question. i have worked for 12 years. you have to work in the congress for six years, five but that would be three terms so six years, to be vested. otherwise you are not eligible for any pension. you get what you put into it back. but no money from the government. you asked me specifically what my pension would be after 12 years. that pension will be $30,000 a year. and i have to be age 62 before i'm eligible to draw that pension. wayne, i'm not complaining about my salary. i love working in the congress. i would do it for nothing. i am a part of the healthcare program. we now, as you know, have to be

on the exchange. we're on the washington, dc exchange, called health link. it's more expensive than what other federal employees get that are on the federal employee health benefit plan, but make sure you understand, and all listeners and viewers this morning understand, that we are just a federal employee, and we pay a monthly payroll deduction if we want to be in the pension plan, if we want to be in the thrift saving plan, we want to be part of a health insurance plan, and we can be part of that retirement but we have to continue to pay the premium. >> host: he also asked congress will not be paying your health premiums after you leave the congress. correct? >> guest: congress will -- i can remain in the health insurance plan as long as i pay my portion of the premium, and that is true in really many if not most

companies across the kin country, and i think the retirement program, the benefit package of federal employees, including members of congress, is comparable. i won't say it's better or worse. it's comparable. so i appreciate wayne's question, but here again, you hear a lot of things on the internet and blog chatrooms and -- but i'm telling you the absolute truth as i know it. >> host: jeff from kentucky. run line. >> caller: congressmen, with the colored coming apart outside off borders of our country, and immigration just barely not even saying there's any law to it now, 17 plus trillion dollar debt, old diseases we thought were cured are coming back, a health care that's going to --

more part is going to kick in next year. gentlemen, my question is, are we reaching or have we reached the point of being able to turn this country around to where we had the kind of life we enjoyed not more than 20 years ago? thank you. >> guest: well, counselor trihas faced challenges through our history. you have touched on a lot of things. the world is always been an unstable place. and we're here again, just that now since world war ii, our country is the power in the world. although as we know russia is trying to reform the old soviet union. you mention a lot of issues. immigration, i'm in support of immigration reform. it would actually help with our debt because we would have this 11 million people actually paying taxes and things like that. but i don't think the country is going to hell in a hand basket.

i think we have a challenge, and that's our job, and frankly, every citizen. we're a democracy. to make sure our country is as strong today as it was yesterday. or 20 years ago. >> host: gene green do you think it was politically the right move to delay innings immigration executive orders. >> guest: i wish congress would have taken up immigration reform. i think we can put it on the floor of the house and it would probably pass. that's not happened. the president talked about using his executive orders. he has delayed that. that's his decision. but congress has dodged that issue. the senate passed immigration reform with 77 votes. they can hardly turn on the lying officers there until they get 60 votes. they passed with 77. it's been sitting in the house for years. over a year now. so, the congress has tot done our job. maybe that's why our percentage numbers are in single digits of support. but i wish the president hadn't

done it because i have a lot of constituents who could benefit, who have been here, coming from texas we have blended families. my whole life growing up in a majority mexican-american neighborhood. we had blended families in the '50s and '60s and we do today themself people are working worr support their country and i wish they can pay taxes. >> guest: obviously the question you asked congressman green the point of the question was the modifier, was it the politically right decision? gene just described what the right policy would be in regards to his congressional district, and i understand that, and i think he is right. but i think from the political perspective, there are at least six democratic senators up for re-election who are in red states that were carried by the republican nominee, mitt romney, that probably had a conversation or two with the president in

talking to him about the timing of when to follow through with this executive order and convinced him that politically it would be better to wait until after the fall elections. >> host: congressman gingrey would if you have supported the immigration reform the senate passed? >> guest: i would not support that. absolutely would not. this is amnesty, and we are a country of laws, and we abide by the rule of law, and i think the god-fearing, hard-working, immigrant population that came to this country the right way and worked hard, that got a green card and hopefully are on a track or already have become united states citizens and assimilated into our society and they're contributing to us and we're contributing to them. it would not be fair to them, many of them waited years to get in this country. there are many things that we could compromise on, and i would be certainly willing to sit down with the democrats and

leadership on both sides and do that. but i think amnesty is not what has been proven in the past. president reagan tried it in 1986, and didn't work then and it's not going to work now. >> guest: well, for oning the senate bell is not amnesty. apple necessary city is if i'm driving down the road and the d.c. police stop me for speeding and say you're a member of congress. i won't give you a tick, that amnesty. the senate bill requires the folks to document their residence, to pay back taxes, make sure -- its extends their time. right now if you're a legal resident for five years you can apply for citizenship. we don't force people to become a citizen but you can apply for it this. would add another almost eight years to that. so, this is not amnesty. they pay a fine and have to pay their back taxes and so amnesty is thrown around. that happened in '86.

the senate bill notice am necessity. >> host: randy, ohio, a couple minutes left with the two guess. >> good morning, conman, i'd like to ask you what is going on in our skies? i'm seeing a lot of marks in our skies leaving long trails, and i am noticing our trees are dying, not looking the same anymore. leaves are dropping off faster. should be turning soon but not dying, and i'm reading about a flesh-eating bacteria that killed nine in florida. so much toxic being in our waters. >> host: randy, what do you think is the cause of all this? >> caller: i've been doing some research, and geoengineering is proposing to spray 20 million tops of aluminum into the skies to reflect sunday back into space, and i'm looking at these ice caps melting, i'm looking how closing me than i is to

being released into the atmosphere. they're saying you can just about see this into the ocean. >> host: all right. a lot there. don't know if you want to address his individual concerns or talk about the environment itself. >> guest: randy, not all of the specifics but there is some legitimate concern about bioterrorrism, and the president, of course, just recently announced that a certain number of military personnel will be going to west africa to try to help contain the spread of the ebola virus. and i commend him for that. that's a good thing. we need be able to quarintine people and if necessary keep them in their homes or in the hospital. but there is certainly a risk of bioterrorrism in regard to ebola. if that spreads to other continents or if some terrorist

group gets ahold of that virus and like they did anthrax, and other things, so, i think you have a point of concern. i don't think anything that you're seeing lately in the sky is a reason to be concerned. i'm sure there's a practical and science tick explanation for that -- scientific explanation for that but you at least gave us a segway into talking about something that is a legitimate concern. >> host: anything you want to add to that? >> guest: i think he is talking about legislation we're trying to work on right now. we need to get ahead of these antibiotic resistant illnesses, and weather it's ebola, which is huge, but just msra or lots of other illness' have. >> host: how concerned but resident ebola coming to the states in a larger fashion? >> guest: well, you know, our world is very mobile. and i know when we have the

sarsa few years ago, there was control over people getting on flights. there's a problem, in west africa it could well be in new york or houston or anywhere else. we have nonstop flight from nigeria to houston. so we are a veil mobile world. that's why can't just say -- we need to go therefor and help to contain that illness west africa instead of waiting for it to get to our shores. >> are. >> host: congressman? >> guest: well, yes, we have to worry about mutations and the possibility, the spread of ebola, i was talking with one of our witnesses at the hearing this morning, yesterday in my office. the is the president of the infectious disease society of america and will be on the second panel testifying before the energy and commerce committee today on the gain act,

on adapt and this whole issue, and i talked to her a little bit about the concern of spread -- bringing patients, as we did, american doctors, back to our excellent healthcare facilities in my own state of georgia, emory university, and what if any concern there should be there, and you point out to me this disease, this viral disease, of ebola, is not spread by air. it's a fluid to fluid contact. and it's quite safe. but i do worry about continent to continent spread, and i think what the president has done in regards to taking our expertise, personnel and equipment there to west africa, and helping to contain it there, rather than bringing people to one continent or to another, because this virus could mutate, and if it

did and it could be spread by just breathing the air, in which you come in contact with of a patient with ebola, then we have a real problem. >> host: we have to let this two gentlemen go because they have a hearing which will be live on c-span 2 at about 9:15. originally scheduled for 9:00 but now at 9:15 this morning. >> guest: let me follow up. i also met with infectious disease -- my daughter is an infectious disease physician at the university of nebraska. to the doctors who were brought back were u.s. citizens, two at emory and one at the university of nebraska health science center? ohm hamp that's our responsibility to our citizens. what's eye i say i'd rather fight the illness overseas than bringing it here. >> host: we'll have to wrap with these two gentlemen. thank you for coming by today. we appreciate it.

>> here are a few commend from our viewer. >> this weekend was the -- so many good shows. president nixon and the resignation and so on and so

fort. the only thing that was -- this morning i was hoping to watch the f-100 super saver restoration. that was our first super sonic jet fighter, and it had something about the panama canal. no big deal. that was interesting. but if it was supposed to be the super saver, i'm hoping they'll show that again or -- show it -- didn't get shown this morning, but either way, looking forward to maybe seeing that. but this weekend, c-span was just -- c-span3 was so many good shows. >> the so-called benghazi hearings which are on c-span3 which i have no tie receive and i have no commute computer. what bet the fact there's no

embassy in libya subsequent to benghazi? how come that it not being addressed? why don't you mak that a topic? >> we're my favorite station. my husband's also. but we can't get c-span3 in portland, oregon. now, wonder if you could tell us how we could manage to do that. >> we're just calling because you note that at 10:00 there was supposed to be a show on c-span3, which is the hearings, but we can't get c-span3, and we feel this is a very important program to watch. that's why a lot of americans, and we would like to see that either repeated on c-span 1 or coons 2 or are d-c-span 2 or made available immediately. >> continue to let us know what what your watching.

iraq, and finally you consistent pronouncements, most recently through the adoption after security council resolution 2170, continued to encourage the people of iraq they are not alone. mr. president, iraq's transition has been painful and scarred by much violence. its people have shown an unmatched ability to persevere despite the difficulties. most recently, amid rapidly deteriorating security environment they came out to vote in a competitive election that was followed finally bay peaceful transition of power. as iraq's new government of national unity is moving to restore security to large parts of the country itself also seeks to strengthen the relationship win the ethnic and religious communities to develop inclusive policies that contribute to social peace and company heave sis inform. the government is looking to the international community for supportment when iraq faces the dangers isil the people of iraq look to your countries, members of the security council, neighbors, allies, and friends,

they look to international community and the united nations for collective measures for the removal of a threat to peace in iraq and the rest of the region. since the beginning of the years, isil and its afailated armed groups have captured large parts of northern and western iraq and have gained access to substantial amounts of weapon, finance resources. the networks reach out to recruit foreign fighters in a battle to dismantle the iraqi state. months before mosul fell, the provinces had become the fer tile ground for the terrorist organization. throughout this period the united nations mission in iraq observed underscore the organization's evolving strategy of terror, strategy that continues to systematically undermine legitimate authorities through kidnappings, assassination and violence. it seeks to use the discontent amongst some communities and turn that discontent into bitterness violence. it uses the consolidated control

over extended territory in both iraq and syria, combined with an ideology of hate tread, fear, to present a clear danger to the very existence of the uniflite iraqi state. its a threat to the the rony speier national security. mr. president the combined effort0s targeted airstrikes, iraqi security forces and person na good operations have allowed for some areas to be brought back null control the to the legitimate authorize and have been instrumental in saving lives from death in the town of sin -- protected the city of irbil, and have arrested the advance of isil towards the capital. despite these skises most recently, however, isil forces have been able to take control of key town friday the province. i'm encouraged to report that in the face of this growing threat, the security cooperation and coordination between the federal

government of iran the kurdistan regional government has substantially increased. mr. president, iraq is facing an escalate emergency with up to 1.8 million people displayed continues january. 850,000 people have sought refuge in kurd stan the humanitarian crisis is not just in the north of the country. but tens of thousands of people have fled to the south where many of them are hosted by families and religious institutions. the pressure on local commune across the country is growing, as the continuing influx has created a massive shelter crisis. with winter fast approaching, immediate and critical measures need be enhanced. furthermore, as over 2,000 schools are currently providing shelters through the country, the start of the school year has already been delayed by one month. in response the u.n. has mounted a massive humanitarian effort

across iraq to provide food, shelter, water, sanitation, and health assistance. we continue to face immense challenges in reaching an estimated 650,000 people who are still in they areas of active conflict. eye this opportunity to call on the government of iraq to put forward a national strategy to address the situation of the displaced people, as well as the immediate restoration of services in the country. their efforts must be encouraged and financial commitments to help this must be recognized. the urn stands ready to provide additional assistance in improving the coordination and delivery of services. on behalf of the entire u.n. family, let me thank those member states who have so far responded to our call for assistance, and have followed through with generous deposits to the u.n. humanitarian effort. i want to also recognize the kingdom of saudi arabia, which has contributed some 500 million u.s. dollars another of to total

of $712 million for the u-efforts in iraq. over 60% of this substantial donation has already been spend on tents, food, and other items for the hundreds of thousands of idps. having said this i have note with growing concern that available funding for humanitarian operation us will be exhausted before the winter and additional support will be needed. mr. president, the current crisis has had a devastating effect on the respect and protection of human rights in iraq. the urn estimates since january there have been some 25,000 civilian casualties, including at least 8,000 and 500 killed and more than 16,000 wounded. on behalf of the secretary general,, the entire u.n. team n iraq i express economy deep e condolencees to the families and victims of terrorism. minorities communities, have been particularly targeted by isil. who have south their systemic and deliberate cleansing from

territories under their control. the perpetrate acts that's may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and possibly outside outside. the urn mission in iraq coins to investigate reports of violation and abuse0s human rights law. our teams have conducted over 500 interviews with victims of and witnesses of these violations. as a result of this, the u.n. has verified simmic and widespread human rights violations committed by icele and associated groups, but also violations and abuses commitsed by armed group groups supportive of the government and some committed by the iraqi security force. a report was publish ned july and a second one is under progression. on account of the gravity of the crime us committed by isil i welcome the decision by the u.n. human rights council to dispatch a mission to iraq to investigate alleged violations of humanitarian law m. are president, the fall ol' mosul forced people understand it was

joist just the survival of their country that was at stake but the very existens of their communities. all iraqis no matter what ethnic or religious community they belong to, stands to lose if they fail to cooperate against the growing threat of terrorism, radicalism and extremism. today, there is a growing understanding that for any security plan to succeed, it needs to be broadly accepted by all. there is an agreement among key decisionmakers that security cannot by proceed evidence without the full respect of the constitution, rule of law, interhumanitarian right and standards. the conditions that breed discontent and violence in iraq needs to be addressed as matter of priority. so that the disaffected communities, particularly those currently located in conflict areas, should be brought back into the democratic process. the iraqi constitution remains the guiding framework for legitimately resolving all grievance. reforms that allow for better service delivery, policies that contribute to social peace and

development, fair revenue sharing between provinces, and efficient public service and measures against corruption, and perhaps most importantly, the strengthening of rule of law and democratic accountable, all of this will allow the country to move forward. transitional justice and reconciliation are impossible without addressing the human rights violations of the past and rent. left unresolved past grievances or abuses of human rights will undermine any attempt to solve outstanding constitutional, legal, or policy issues. i'm pleased to report that since the appointment the government has made important steps, steps -- and has a strong beginning for its collective work. very much welcome prime minister abadi's recent orders to suspend iraqi's air force strikes in civilian areas, including isil controlled areas, and his public commitment to the protection of civilian. urge the government of iraq to fully uphold this commit: as

commander in chore, prime minister abadi has taken the issue in tonight to restructure the leadership of the iraqi armed forces. these decisions are encouraging steps towards meeting the demand for reform. i further welcome the council of ministers' decision to establish a reconstruct fund to rebuilds the areas damaged by military operations. u.n. stands ready to assist. i most very pleased to report that the council of ministers has initiated the process of drafting a law for the creation of the national guard. this will allow for the devolution of authority and will strengthen local engagement in surety. in his most recent create to parliament the prime minister committed to resolving disputes. i encourage the iraqi government to swiftly move forward on restoring subsidies, starting in september, to provinces. the federal government and the kurdistan regional government should mover quickly to reach an agreement on the outstanding payments, and finally, it is

time for the per vase officials of refer knew and bug sharing to be resolved in line with the constitution. as always the united nations in iraq is ready to continue facilitating this process. all members of the international community should continue to work closely, both with the government of iraq and the kurdistan regional government, and extend to iraq the security, humanitarian andal a -- developmental assistance it need. the stakes are high for the people of iran the region. iraq and its neighbors have an unprecedented opportunity restart positive bilateral arrangements. this cooperation should be open and inclusive off all neighbors. the recent adoption of security council revolution 2170, the arab league resolution, 7804, the paris conference and piece and security in iraq and the recent discussions held at nato

all strengthen international support four iraq in its time of need. the u.n. stands ready to support iraq and the region by coordinating the political, social, human tearian efforts -- humanitarian efforts needed to direct the crisis. let me be very clear isil is a scourge that hat brought untold sorrow to the people of iraq and syria. they've have shown contempt for equality, fundamental human righted and dignity and worth of he human person. they not only ignore but also show disdain for international law, and their perverse ideas of justice are evidence of their deep reaction against the progress humanity has made over centuries. this threat, grave as it is can be address evidence iraq this region and the world together come and work on the basis of the framework of the charter of the unite is nations nations ane relevant security council resolutions. thank you. >> thank you very much for the briefing and i think more

importantly, from all of us, we thank the secretary general and you as the special representative, but also heading up the u.n. assistants mission and all the work you're doing. so we're vary grateful to you. the council has before it the text of the statement by the president on behalf of the council, and i thank the council members for their very valuable contributions to this statement. in accordance with the understanding reached among the members, shall take it that the members of the security council agree to the statement, which will be issued as a document of the security council, under the symbol, s/prst/2014/20. it is so decided. i now have the privilege to give the floor is excellencies, mr. ibrahim, the minister of foreign affairs of iraq.

>> translator: peace be upon you all. thank you, mr. president, and allow me at the outset to express my appreciation of your heading our meeting today in view of the fears -- serious threat we face not knock iraq but over the whole world. i also vol value the presence of many foreign minister colleagues from friendly countries whose presence today proves the gravity of the threat that we face. also like to to thank the united states for holding this meeting, with a view to mobilizing international support to face up to isis and its affiliated organizations. i'd also like to welcome the briefing the special representative over secretary general and -- iraq re-affirms its position to face up to

terrorism as an international scourge that should be eliminated. it is extremely important for coordination and cooperation amongst all of the parties to take place. the influx of tigers from all over the world to establish this state of isis is a great danger, not only to iraq and syria but to the entire region. fighting those that are in iraq, mr. president, and sparing the iraqi people their evil, is in the interests of the entire world. this is a war that is being launched against the people of iraq, who is fighting on behalf of all other peoples. they have violated our land and have violated the dignity of man. all the iraqi people, muslims, christians, turkmen,ie sid dis and others, are all against this evil.

we would like to restore peace and stability so as we can restore all the services to the people, especially in the affected areas. the actions of isis has led to the displacement of more than 1.1 million iraqis towards kurd stan and other areas in the south. however, in spite of the political and security challenges the newly elected government has cooperated with the united nationses and organizations in iraq to alleviate the suffering of the iraqi people and restore control of the entire territory of iraq and to assist at this place to return to their homes...

>> >>. >> translator: the main responsibility to fight isis and other terrorist organizations with our territory is our responsibility and the responsibility of the iraqi armed forces and the

national guard. however that requires businesses to its -- assistance from all nations end of the situation in syria we knew would eventually affect iraq. it is previously called upon the security council requesting assistance from the international community and therefore i would like to state the following military economic and financial assistance should continue to support against isis that is called for

removing all members including those of neighboring countries in the military action against isis should be a degradation with iraqi armed forces assistance should be provided to alleviate the suffering of more than 1.8 million people including women and children with all members states of the united nation to remain committed to the implementation of these human rights council the security council resolution in this regard. whether the sources of financing and military support to the isis dealing in those natural resources. >> that strategy would talk about these points with this threat will live be removed

the extremist ideas should be prevented should be encountered at all levels. with all these countries that had existed to provide the means of the displaced to assist people in the affected areas where there has been fighting. we're all facing a grave danger that has no respect for human rights. we shall work for the culture of love and prosperity.

there with that assistance provided particular the humanitarian assistance and reaffirm to assist buyback in its place. thank you. >> 8q your excellency for a very important statement that we appreciate very much the efforts now is my privilege to make a statement in my capacity of secretary of state of the united states. let me start again by thinking every single one for participating in this session. seeing how everyone is through their actions

through their busy schedules. so many countries are represented it underscores the clear need for us to come together to welcome and support the new inclusive government in i iraq i want to sink secretary general and the space iraqi counterpart. i don't need to remind anyone that the last two times the eyes of the world focused on iraq when the government was in confrontation and to the international community. coming in support of the new iraqi government that has already made great strides

in a short amount of time. last week i made my second trip to baghdad to meet the new iraqi government. that is the interest to finally begin the deep divisions we are all aware of including those over energy resources, autonomy and a composition of security forces. all of these have plagued iraq through history also committed to empowering local communities to maintain security control and that the country has now responded to decades event

the iraqi pilot flew the helicopter with a single goal to rescue. tragically the helicopter crash. and to tell "the new york times" reporter to find everything they have done in their entire life as the iraqi pilot. it has resonated deeply in those communities. my president said earlier this month isil is a terrorist organization pure

and simple and has no vision other them a the slaughter of all who stand in the way. it has known as so much bloodshed there you begin to cover jollity. in time their hands behind their back to killed children it in slave and rape anserine a religious minority with genocide and to its allies of two american journalists and the british aid worker, said isil poses a threat to the people arachne and syria and the brodeur released and if left unchecked these terrorist certainly oppose a growing threat beyond the region because they have already promised to.

how history will judge of the world responds to this moment or challenge in the face of this evil we have only one option. with a holistic global campaign with this terrorist threat. and to make sure whether iran iraq syria or elsewhere isil cannot find a safe haven. and as everyone is well aware of the coalition required to eliminate isil is not even military in nature. it must be comprehensive to include close collaboration and it is about taking out to decimates militant colt

there is a role for every country in the world to play including iran whose foreign minister is here with us today. isil poses a threat to all of us we your committed in a close partnership in countries around the world to defeat id. that is why i spent the last week consulting with my iraqi counterparts in the middle east and tear of a building partnerships and that is why we're focused to host this session in today. but for each of these but i

have to tell the meetings i have had so far leaders say if patients border campaign and to overcome each of those lines of effort to see more than 50 countries come forward with commitments. those for military support to provide assistance in terms of action and also in the form of training and providing logistical support. in the region in countries like egypt to significantly enhance the coordination between its forces and iraqi and kurdish forces.

those to commit to deploy a fighter jets and personnel. germany in recognition reversed its longstanding policy against offering legal aid. france last night conducted its first airstrikes against isil targets in iraq. these forms of assistance provided at the request of iraq are essential to combating isil but only one part the part that will be required. dozens of countries have so far committed to this humanitarian response if iraq including saudi arabia and elsewhere.

in japan and new zealand and south korea and more. and embar rate has held to host a conference in the future to further develop the action plan to counter terrorist financing. with the session obama will chair we must adopt the flow of foreign fighters to isil. those that carry passports include the nearly every country represented in this room. this is another area where they take important steps including legislation in-house criminalizing participation of their citizens in the combat activities. and finally the air jet need to counter the poison is

propaganda and a gross distortion of islam that isil is spreading far a and drive. is time to give an end to the group's so extreme that it bans math and social studies from children that brainwash young men to join these groups to commit mass atrocities in the name of god. this is something people are very focused on. and they declared tears of a heinous crime under sharia law under the order of city to end. in to get to the battlefield in the first place that is

the most effective measure we can take. that is why it is imperative we go the extra mile to help iraq fully reintegrate into the region and the global community of nations. that is starting to have been. those isolated from the world war not just invited by warmly welcome to international meetings in here is a new york before the security council before the of world. this is one reason we watched the ministers for traveling here. with that discussion as it went on today the world can

listen to each minister with the scope of their effort. we are well on our way. i hope the progress side have described for more commitments for these efforts. so to a newses coalition whose hit enhancing and the president obama commits that. in sitting behind me and then to of those forces those of iraq for their services have agreed to come to the state department to oversee the u.s. effort to

match jeb each country's capabilities with the coalition's total needs. i look forward to hearing from you and i bank everybody from turning this discussion and i am confident your global campaign has committed we can defeat the isil threat for right now resume my a function as president of the killed so and i give the floor to her excellency the minister of foreign affairs from rwanda. >> secretary of state john kerry and colleagues and distinguished leaders in your respective capacities,

i think united states for organizing says debate for the region and the world. your leadership today mr. president and the ministers in this debate is the indication of the international community to support the iraqi people against the threat of the iraqi state. it is unfortunate every time the security council defaults on this inherent responsibility that international peace and security the cost is unbearable. we although the conflict in syria was a breeding ground

for isil the terrorist group for those atrocities but the ongoing persecution of christians with the other religious minorities may even the amount to genocide. but the reality of this group must force our resolve to protect the many innocent civilians caught that have nothing to do with it. to express the condolences to all of the bereaved families. mr. president baghdad is far away them more than just geography. footed is no different from

20 years ago. faced with unprecedented cruelty i am the foreign minister of rwanda and carry the abandonment in 1984. we believe the international community must act fast and collectively to denied this terrorist group in the hold to territory or access to financing which allowed it to killed children and adults can be head journalist and humanitarian workers coming in slave women and girls and persecute religious minorities. but what we build our support on with that threat to.

with that to come together to form the exclusive government. among the iraqi community is critical to the success of isil and the efforts against the organization should be led and don'ts from all of us. the building blocks to take a vantage of building a coalition the upcoming united nations meeting which president obama would chair next week to guard your global support for this effort.

but also encouraged by the outcome of the of it conference call on the timber 11th that brought together member states of the council as well was eject iraq turkey and lebanon and we commend their resolve by military campaign against isil. and held on september 15 there is the critical need to insure the security council resolution 2170 of 2014 concerning the fighting against terrorism. the international community there's a lot they can do to stop the influx of funding

from the implementation. in this respect countries of the region and beyond should also play an important role to prevent hatred and extremism with as a radicalization of. we'll get that rapid innovations of isil has led to do massive displacement of more than 2 million people which required humanitarian assistance. therefore we call on the international community to provide an answer for. then we have the delegation for this statement that was just adopted.

it as well as the entire team for the dedication to the people of iraq thank you for listening to me. thank you for the important reminder and i now give the floor to her excellency the minister for foreign affairs >> the key for initiating the meeting today we must send us a clear signal of the international community's sole support for iraq austria endorses the terms of the statement with those efforts to combat the

terrorist threat by isil and provide humanitarian relief through the suffering. the brutalize the public relations and shocked us all the atrocity against women and girls in for honorable minorities in security force opponents. and then the be heading of journalists and others to the indians their agenda is despicable. the images shown around the globe of the is trillion child not more than nine years old standing with his father and isil leader holding up the severed head of a soldier this is the hideous acts of which is the group is capable. australia condemns

absolutely the barber is a matter of ideology the international community cannot with any conscience turn away region now lead the people of iraq no doubt the severity of the threat to use the region imposes the threats to austria and friends in southeast asia and beyond. responsible for terrorist attacks. australia's security has taken steps in recent recent-- inspired by a isil to emulate the brutality. began the affront to

humanity. syria has announced the prepared this has said more aid and cooperation with iraq to employ a military force to support iraq efforts against isil in the refueling aircraft to revise and assist it is their proportionate response to the murderous terrorist organization. efforts to end a the ravages and ambitions were necessarily involved measures to cut off the isil support network including alarms and funding. there is more we can all do do have legislative reforms

from homegrown terrorism. we urge other members states to choose to save. political measures are needed with formation of a new iraqi government is a positive step that has contributed to isil if chance. capable of rebuilding a stable to a counter the forces of violence and extremism. with that humanitarian need including innocent women and girls are multiplying. nearly to a people are believed to be internally displaced. it had specifically targeted minorities and women and children for sexual violence.

there must be consequences. end to have $2 million to help the united nations population fund with reproductive and other health care. with humanitarian funding with air drops of emergency supplies providing even $130 million to assist lebanon and jordan across their borders. the humanitarian crisis the international community cannot stand by to do nothing in the face of the idle threat. this is why australia is joining international partners to assist the iraqi government in its fight against isil.

thank you mr. president. >> thank you very much with the extent to of the commitment from so far away and we thank you for your leadership. i now give the floor to head his excellency the minister for foreign and expatriate affairs. >> [speaking native language] >> translator: ladies and gentlemen,, delegations if i may i would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to the government of the united states of

america represented by secretary of state mr. john kerry we would think united states for their initiative to convene and preside over the council meeting with the international peace of security. based on the conferences and meetings held yesterday's specifically the one organized by a saudi arabia which was presided over and the meeting in paris recently presided over by the president of the french republic also included in order to mobilize resources as necessary to grapple with that terrorist threats to support the sister nation of iraq with its confrontation

of terrorist taking control of vast regions in syria and iraq reorganization has gone beyond political and geographical borders and now is a threat to political stability not just in the region betta threat to security as well. to gave the world is facing the imminent danger danger, unprecedented danger with the savagery and capacity to take it the intention of security vacuums even with a national unity for their own purposes and political reasons to do disenfranchisement or polarization or religion or otherwise to use their own

situation it may further unraveling of the community does not immediately react to a the determining manner. the security council resolution 2170 lays the groundwork to globally tackle all aspects of the danger especially foreign combatants and financing sources for international organizations. we support the idea of the security council meeting presided over by president obama on foreign combatants and indoors at conference to tackle the issue of financing sources for terrorism. we also welcome the presidential statement adopted by the security council.

and for his efforts in this regard. in for some time has been warning about about the serious crisis in iraq specifically the environment has been created that moves from the syrian territory to the iraqi territory in package for to allow partnerships and alliances to take a vintage of political consequences i referenced earlier to control large sections so combating this organization means it has to be a process to restore national unity

among the stake holders with the iraqis identity. with four region -- for a region is the important step and we hope it will go further. we support the efforts of the new government to fight terrorism for the statement and the explanation of the situation. jordan stands by iraq's side in the effort to promote security we encourage all iraqi forces to participate in the inclusive process to participate in the decisionmaking process to preserve the unity of the iraqi people to promote national understanding.

in to help contain extremism we work specifically on the sources of financing trying to grapple with the issue of extremism and also through the efforts of the security council and to promote dialogue safe ethnic groups to promote better understanding of the religion of islam. which for a decade after many conferences we're concerned with having to fight to extremism and different organization and actively participate in regional and national efforts to combat terrorism

and deal with terrorism and extremism. this is based on a clear and insincere position that targets us and against our people to restore peace and security in the sister nation of iraq ladies and gentleman this body has committed heinous crimes against entities and parts of the social fabric of the region the important part that is a category deere to our hearts islam is innocent of the heinous crimes committed in its name as the international community is to take immediate measures to put an end to the cancer and its way of thinking to

of proof to from society before it could further propagate before it is too vague to. thank you. >> thank you very rich. and the queue to his majesty for his efforts we appreciate all of your inputs i give the floor to his excellency, the minister of foreign and european affairs. >> [speaking native language] >> translator: i am grateful to you to take this debate at a time with the international community support it is more crucial than ever. the special representative for his presentation with

the u.n. assistance mission in iraq i welcome the presence of the iraqi minister of foreign affairs. i had the pleasure of meeting him in 2005 the prime minister of iraq with a conference of reconstruction. i think him for his encouraging statements but what has happened did recent weeks is revolting all of us with images the victim's of dead children lined up without water or food in the desert. what can we say about the barbarous be heading of the two american journalists?

and their british humanitarian worker? all of those were witness to the atrocities committed against civilian population called isil during the fighting in fallujah. lower the seizure but the whole have thousands of iraqis to flee their homes. at the inconceivable level children as young as is even 30 and are compelled by a isil to commit suicide attacks. jihadist commit war crimes and crimes against humanity

with torture issues sexual violence in hospitals. the ethnic and religious cleansing campaign targets minorities in the north of iraq. in the face of extremism in the face of the terrorist group to you destabilize iraq dimmed the entire region the community must act and take the necessary measures to help the iraqi authorities to end the suffering it conflicts on in women and children. we have debated them right here in the united nations on april 15 but also

adopting the resolution to cut off sources of financing. next week after that terrorist strategy to adopted a resolution to counter this threat that goes without saying falafel of security to counter and defeat the terrorist threats , we support the commitments of the coalition launched by the united states into those of the region. and those with humanitarian assistance to strengthen the action of the united nation to alleviate the suffering of the iraqi people. and to provide some financial support in those

operations but in improvement depends on progress in the political sphere. it would not be eradicated by force and we welcome the inauguration of the new iraqi government under the authority of prime minister to restart the national dialogue and a return to peace and social order that only those that can eliminate violence and terrorism. with the culture and civilization to be violated or alienated from the islamic state. added it is essential that it is engaged is it promotes

the values and humanism of islam. of the important men to invade in the presence of foreign affairs. are wray and should play the important role to cover bad extremism whether iraq or syria. the president would conclude with the exemplary work done and personnel on the ground also those communities with promotion for human rights especially those persons in detention for protection of children's rights for those bilaterally through the european union will support the consolidation of the rule of law in iraq which is

the full application of human rights. thank you. >> thank you for your statement as well as your help and support. i now give the floor to his excellency the minister from france. [speaking native language] >> translator: special representative of the united nations and secretary general. colleagues and friends. the terrorist group took control of part of iraq and syria. it would like to be called islamic state actually they're just throat cutters.

it has no legitimacy of the state nor does it represent islam. the imam did not mince his words and he was right when he said "bear criminals use only the image of islam and muslims''. they rape they crucified. they cutthroats. baby head people. -- ave the head people and use cruelty from modern technology as a perverse instrument of propaganda they want to massacre not just the minorities but all

those men and women who do not submit to them their actions and objects. they obviously flout the law and school or in civil society it is the obvious vacation of international order and a denial of the founding principles underpinning our organization. today they have focused on attacking iraq after flourishing is syria with the support of the regime but now say a matt well beyond those countries. be clear.

to have us at the end of their dives given such of threat inaction it is not an option. france coming keeping with its principles and traditions decided to shoulder its responsibilities. recently facing terrorism in shouldering responsibilities in syria to support of moderate opposition in against the terrorists. and we decide to shoulder our responsibilities by providing humanitarian aid and military equipment and to date, this morning responding to the call of

the iraqi government to provide support to respect international law. in to intervene against the warehouse occupied by the terrorists in the northeast of iraq it was completely destroyed. so we will continue coordinating efforts with all those you wish to commit especially to act alongside the iraqi forces. 2003 acting against iraq is something that divided the council in 2014 in a different context is a duty

for all of us. the colleagues the fight to that has been created under churches circumstances and our heart goes out to them the fight has been one it is vital but not enough. it leads internal unity as terrorists have exploited the risk among the iraqis and the serious frustrations of the population. and also with the creation of the new government clears the path to rally and we must continue along that path as the key process to

bring about unity the condition of success is important to reconstruct the iraqi state with international solidarity. with a maximum number of countries that face orientation to return to use security their priorities are known. military support needs to be provided to iraq and is important to block the channels from foreign combatants and starvation have financial resources that come from whale. starvation of resources that should be completely unambiguous in terms of anyone's behavior. we will not win with force

alone but also political support and i said it before it is their priority to restore confidence. now humanitarian assistance with 1.8 million displaced persons is key and must be increased. it is truly a brave jack of solidarity to iraq. and yet the evidence points to do syria that needs to be weakened specifically through powerful support to the moderate syrian opposition. we must act swiftly with all of these funds because the cost of an action dramatically increases the longer it takes to take up position.

last monday in a conference in paris with peace in iraq was the important step as weld the agenda a few days before that to date here i would like 2.0 to secretary of state kerry took the initiative in a timely manner is the important step the mission of france is clear. we must assume our responsibility the throat debtors must be fought and beaten only then can we find peace and security. >> thank you for that the eloquent statement and also from the leadership of france last week than thank you for the heroic effort to be here today.

we are grateful. i now give the floor to his excellency, the minister of foreign affairs for the country of chad. >> [speaking native language] >> translator: to take the floor of this prestigious institution i welcome the colleagues ministers to thank the ambassadors representing the state in the secretary general on the excellent work done on a daily basis it remained dangerously threatened particularly by a terrorism. that international terrorism composed of al qaeda or boko

haram but these alone of vessel of the right to think secretary of state john kerry for holding this public debate coming up the right time given the grave situation for iraq also to take the opportunity to welcome the u.s. presidency to assure of isil support. i would like to think the special representative of secretary general and our colleague for the briefing. with the political situation in iraq is critical and has been for several months political upheavals in the region and disintegration exacerbating internal conflicts with other

affiliated terrorist groups to find fertile ground thereby threatening and then those providing climate today in iraq. . .
