4:04 pm
bring the people of level to the people of israel, and the people of the world cannot afford lebanon to become. and not because a lot was the secretary general a speaking at today, the escalation in the middle of the sole source featured prominently on monday. but that's right, that's of course what happened during the, somebody adult for the future with a broad consensus with a document that outlined menu of the aspects that they want to have this negotiation of pack that wasn't negotiated by germany and spying a, maybe a for many months now focusing on human rights, focusing on many topics on the agenda of they will lead us. so we expect to hear from that later this week. and of course, there's also a lot of interest on what will happen on thursday, because that's the day when is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, as well as police senior. indeed, m f moved up as well. address that you in general assembly. so that will be
4:05 pm
a focus that but of course, over the last couple of days of this, some of the few to the ones to outline and wants to present worth template reform to the un security council. and of course, these complex has, of course, it will take center stage here too, and that's also what we've heard from the message from the un secretary general. and can also expect to hear from the president biden is motivated, still driving past it'd behind his for his speech, and we're expecting in a couple of minutes here at the united nation. ok, so mid lisa, and of course the ukraine and ukraine getting present, loving this landscape is there as well, hoping to boost supports to end adoptable a what can be expect from this gathering? so what a board room is the landscape the president of ukraine is hoping to get here. and ukraine is not just support from the current administration, but also from the next administration. he is. we have for incident selections
4:06 pm
coming up in only a less than 50 days. so he's meeting not only president biden and vice president harris who is also of course, the candidate a from the democrats, the presidential candidate. then i mean e, but also will meet with donald trump, the republican, and know many, he visited a munition factory and pennsylvania. you will have a lot of meetings with a representative from congress from across the out there. he's meeting democrats and use also meeting republicans, but of course this meeting here is to get not only the support from the united states as the biggest, the donor, also facilitator of obviously you claim, but also from many other allies, various meeting your ultimate with it sounds like charles to already a full back to berlin who was here for the summit of the future. but of course if for a that you can get present, this is a very important gathering to get his points. and to also get renewed international, they supported the defend itself against the russian aggress. okay, let's talk about the bite and space. then we saw he's, he's come void getting stuck in traffic behind you. and what are we expecting to
4:07 pm
hear from him? so what we've been hearing and backgrounds from the white house is that he wants to lay out his vision for a continued u. s. leadership on the global stage and is, is, is last address here at the you. and of course, it's also about his legacy and about every how everything changed since last year in the general assembly. how this crisis in the mid least, the additional crisis a to the war and the ukraine, but also the pressure and the criticism on president biden on him not enforcing the red lines of washington that the us administration is putting on his really prime minister benjamin netanyahu on his government, it to that, remember that he said that he would think about additional us weapons if for a israel, if the continued with a going into rough button, sullivan gauze is something that happened and there are some protesters here. we
4:08 pm
saw some of them with a ukranian flaws, also others, a protesting a for is role template is seen in plaque and we can expect that some of the profile is standing and it protest as will also be here in new york. they change the name from the abandoned bite and campaigned to the abandon harris campaign. and that's of course, where the democratic nominee for a president campbell of harris is facing a lot of problems in those swing states with this uncommitted movement. for example, in michigan where it grew, where it was born, also spread it to all the states or in the us. all right. and just had, were expecting a president by them to speak. uh very sure if they were gonna cover that to live just in the next minutes. also ben, i'm a clinic november's election east going to have a big bearing on the way that the united states deals with the middle east us. absolutely, and that's also what president bide,
4:09 pm
will underline that the us should be present on the world stage and also pushing forward with the idea that the us should be involved, that they should be peace negotiations that they should be talk secretary blinking, who has been in the region since october 7th, several times is also joining president biden here with a trying to get a ceasefire. that would, critics are saying is how can you get a sees for you if you keep sending weapons, if you don't keep and full see a red lines. and that's something that we see not only in the us, but also with the protests of, of the will lead as he is. so he will try to show his legacy on a will stage, but in times of increasing tensions. and the reason is what simple boston's non to solve in part of 11 on. not only garza not only in the occupied west, but what we've been seeing over the last couple of days. it's really hard for the diplomats who are involved in talks to try to de escalate the situation. what we've
4:10 pm
been hearing from the is really side is the trying a strategy of an escalation by escalation. and that's something that us officials of also supported without saying how they might actually work out. but of course, it is his foreign policy that he wants to show the legacy that he wants to put forward in his last a, u. n. g, a address and well, last year was heavily focused on your grade. we expect this year to be focused not only on ukraine, on the support that the united states has pledged for ukraine as long as they need it, but also on the regional tensions in the middle east. and it's also of course and technical terrace. and also what a brazilian president received now, so knew that a salesman who was the 1st head of state to address the 79 general assembly of the united nations. and did the just before we go to uh you are that quotes us. i'm just a tell us and what is the point of these general assembly meetings to like change anything through my mind was get changed. so that's
4:11 pm
a big question. and that's what many asks themselves. how can the u. n. how can these institution actually enforce what they say? there are a lot of documents that are outlined. there's been a lot of criticism on how the un security council works with some few countries having the so called the to arrive is also something that has been in the make, has been in the discussion for a couple of years now. how to reform the united nations security council that was also part of this pact of the future. there was a supported by many countries here, this outcome document because when there is a country, so we have the security council of 50 members with 5 who has the beetle rides with the us be doing many resolutions, for example, the one that side that police tenants should be a member of the united nations maybe to that. but of course that have the majority of support off the united nations general assembly. so this is the 1st you in ga,
4:12 pm
well we will have a representative from the state of palestine also here in the building in new york . but how to reform it and how to enforce it. and to go back to this message of antonio terrace, that the many countries that don't face any accountabilities that don't place that comfortability. so don't follow it, what international organization said. and just to give you one example, it's for example, the discussion about the arrest for ins. against is rarely print minutes to bring them into 10. jo against is rarely a defense it minutes the lunch to because the you asked that even is there is this arrest score and that has not been issued yet. if they come to the us, they would not the team then. and that's a discussions that we've also seen with a russian president vladimir putin who wasn't born right here. that's also a member of the i see see so easily. and so it was not the change that whatever just maybe of the but when i'm moving to a president biden, who will give a speech now at the us. okay, thankfully,
4:13 pm
let's go to be you. i met in here assembly us president is the 4th time i've had the great honor speaking to this assembly as president of the united states. to be my last i've seen a remarkable slave of history. was 1st elected office in united states, america's us, senator, in 1972, 9. 0, i looked like i'm only 40. i know i was 29 years old. fact bad. we're living through an inflection point moment of tension and i'm certain the world was divided by the coal, or the least was headed toward war america. was it ward vietnam at that point? long as war and americans history, our country are divided and i agree. and there were questions about our staying
4:14 pm
power and our future. but even then, i had our public life not allowed to spare, but out of optimism. nice stage in the world. got through that moment was an easy or simple without significant setbacks. but we go on to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons throughout the us through arms control and then go on to bring the cold war itself to an end. here's what it is, you want to more. but then forward to the historic piece. we had at the warren vietnam last year and annoy i was met with the vision is leadership. we're elevated our partnership to the highest level. it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for reconciliation. today the united states and vietnam are partners and friends. as proof the from the horrors of war. there is a way forward,
4:15 pm
as things can get better. we should never forget that. i've seen that throughout my career. in the 1980s i spoke out against apartheid in south africa. and then i watch the races regime fall. in the 19 ninety's, i worked home a low temperature capital for war crimes. you want to solve accountable. at home, i rode past the violence against women act and a scourge of violence against women and girls. not only in america, but across the world as many of you have as well. but we have so much more to do, especially against rape and sexual violence as weapons of war and tear. we were attacked or not 11 by all kind of, you know, some of the been lot we brought him justice. then i came to the pregnancy and another moment of crisis and uncertainty. i believed america, i do look forward,

a suicide bomb. as i think those last lives that i think of every day, i think of all the 2461, u. s. military dest. over a long, 20 years of that war, 20744 american servicemen wanted an action. i think of their service for sacrifice and their heroism. i know other countries lost their own men and women fighting alongside us. we honor their sacrifices as well. face the future was also determined to rebuild my country's alliance and the partnership to a level not previously said we did. we did just that from traditional trivializes to new partnerships like the quad united states, japan, australia, in india. i know, i know many looked at the world today and see difficulties react to despair. but i do not. i won't as late as we don't have the luxury, i recognize
