3:02 am
u.n. general assembly has not really adopted a ukraine sponsored resolution blaming russia for what it calls the militarization of crimea nearly half the member states abstained from the vote the resolution accuses russia of restricting navigation in the black and as off season moscow blasted it as one sided saying it gives kiev a permit to scapegoat russia here's how the assembly unfolded. we do not support the general assembly calling on both states to take actions when the russian federation is the sole member state to have repeatedly and shamelessly engage in aggressive activities directed against ukraine that you know because i'm. here of his getting signals that everything is allowed and everything will be forgiven and that all its sins and crimes will be pardoned and russia will be made a scapegoat it is yet another violation by the russian federation of the un charter and deliberate attack by the russian military forces against ukraine in the neutral
3:03 am
waters of the black sea this is young it was optional it was said the incident happened in neutral territorial waters but the ukrainian representative has just said a week ago that happened in ukrainian forces the essence of this issue is a common belief that states must not use force in their international relations including to acquire territory or change border is inconsistent with the un charter we underscored of the e.u. were dismayed at this use of force by russia and us alone we mean zealots we are facing a carefully thought out and well planned provocation that is continuing here in the assembly before our eyes the u.s. and some e.u. countries are playing along with ukrainian authorities confrontational course most countries are co-sponsors of this resolution now this follows an incident in which you had a ukrainian naval vessel trying to cross the kirks strait now when this happened at
3:04 am
that point there were ukrainian navy boats trying to cross this courage straight and they ignored instructions from maritime control and at that point russian border guards had to intervene and detain the violators now the current bridge which was recently constructed connecting crimea to other parts of russia was frequently brought up by those condemning russia it's important to note that bridge has been a point of criticism by those who oppose right. so much so that the washington examiner a publication in the united states went as far as to call for the bridge to be blown up it's interesting that there was not then widespread condemnation of the washington examiner but regardless though we also have recently heard the united states promising to send more weapons to kiev and furthermore we did see another resolution voted on now the united states voted in favor of the resolution condemning russia however they voted against a resolution put forward by russia to condemn naziism in fact the united states and
3:05 am
ukraine were the only two countries to vote against that resolution opposing nazis so pretty clear differences in the international community displayed in the debate and passing of resolutions today at the u.n. general assembly and legal analysts we spoke to think that u.n. resolutions are all about to blow the allies and political gangs. not only are we seen a lot of animosity and feelings coming up but we're also seeing a lot of political moves as you can see with some of these other resolutions that seem to be kind of general blanket statements that universally would be rejected that would just go against just because russia passed this so we are seeing a lot of these sentiments going through and so a lot of countries abstain we're looking at when we talk about the general assembly specifically with resolutions passing we're looking at one hundred percent geo political factions here this is all a political game and it's all whose side is on who and that's why the u.n. general assembly is filled with blocks allies and other things like that for the
3:06 am
u.s. to want russia on board because the u.s. already knows u.s. allies will be on board with that the same way were russia knows that russian allies will be on board an arab snow that arab allies will be on board with certain resolutions it's a lot of the political game in what publicly should be the the position or strategy of the people in the u.n. general assembly. not to costa rica where several hundred eggs are nicaraguans have protested against their country's president daniel ortega. the protesters demand that will take us through oppression of media and civil rights thousands of nicaraguans of fled to costa rica since the outbreak of on to government protests and three hundred people have been killed in more than five months of civil unrest in september and they were made street protests illegal human rights watch criticized the raids on opposition media and the closure of
3:07 am
human rights organizations. nicaragua's nor the neighborhood is also accused of similar violations but there is a contrast in how the u.s. treats these central american countries one receives punishing sanctions while the other receives an extensive aid package our correspondent daniel o'donnell quarter has a nice house. it's a tale of two central american countries both plagued with somewhat similar problems corruption violence and government crackdowns. the. rule of law has not fared so well in either country with one door us and nicaragua both sinking towards the bottom of the list ponderosa in nicaragua both exemplify a recent regional trend of suppressing the right to protest and using excessive force against demonstrators however hunder us is the only one out of the two that
3:08 am
the us seems to have a soft side for don't just take my word for it nicaragua was one of the us is tyrannical trio the spread of tyranny follows a predictable pattern media and opposition parties are silenced the regime unleashes its militants to kidnap torture and execute dissidents but one doris well they're of valuable ally especially after they voted with the us to legitimize to roussillon as israel's capital to people a hundred and stood with us to make that decision ourselves and decide we're we've got our embassy and that's right and we greatly appreciate not just disappeared on them but on so many. united nations now both nicaragua and honduras crackdown on anti-government protests this year but they've evoked quite different reactions from the u.s. when nicaragua does it it's a threat to the legitimacy of the current administration every does not victim of
3:09 am
this violence and intimidation campaign further undermine its take its legitimacy. and one hundred doors cracks down on protesters after a sketchy election well that's a time for people to hold hands and sing kumbaya. of the election regions. the united states to its very important that the people come together. to become inclusive we find success but that's words now what about the money the u.s. is shoveling military and economic aid honduras is way sixty eight million tax dollars worth and at the very same time nicaragua is about to be slapped with further sanctions just last week congress passed the nneka act over the latin american countries corruption and human rights violations so two countries with very similar problems but two very different approaches the view of those two countries has been
3:10 am
highly. distorted by the media and by the u.s. government the united states is not concerned about human rights and democracy in fact we know that the u.s. supports seventy three percent of the world's you tater ships but uses human rights . arbitrarily and selectively in order to justify its own geo political ends up of course is a classic example where the u.s. ordered the supposed dictatorship for decades and then when there was a popular all revolution by the stand me since i worked for over ten years supporting culture terror against that country people forget about that you know and those things need to be remembered in the context of the of the situation we're talking about today. a feud between democrats and republicans over transfer a wall between the united states and mexico has led to threats of a u.s.
3:11 am
government shutdown donald trump is thinking of the five billion dollars for a wall to prevent illegal in the. gratian well the democrats insist on less than two billion and a simpler a border fence well president trump lunchtime claiming that any democrat saying the border would be secure without a wall is just another politician following the party line for now it's still not clear what exactly will be built on the us mexico border. border security to the people of our country very important the wall is a big factor in border security number one we are for strong border security.
3:12 am
just about speaking for myself consider the war immoral walls can be scaled over walls to be tunneled under the wall doesn't stop any bad things from happening it just makes it impossible for the folks on our side to see what's developing it makes it more difficult for them. the president executive order one three seven six seven directed us to build a wall on the southwest border the wall that we're going to put in here is variance a wall that we're going to put in here you may be wondering why are we choosing the type of french that we're choosing the bollard wall that we're going to be putting in place excuse me to safety aspects that a wall provides to start to fence me this type of ball of walls.
3:13 am
if we don't get what we want one way or the other whether it's through through you . military through anything you want to call i will shut down the government and have a hearing on this temper tantrum that he seems to throw will not get in his wall and it will hurt a lot of people because he will poison or shut down. a church in the u.k. has blocked an illegal immigrants deportation after the asylum seeker converted to christianity but none of iranian origin known as am was granted u.k. residence in two thousand and nine for five years however the british government says he is a threat to society and has already been jailed for fake surely assaulting a seventeen year old girl he was released three years ago with an order of deportation but softer looking for his eight hundred fifty twitter posts quoting
3:14 am
the bible and christian theology the court just signed a bit he was at risk of persecution if sent back to iran. circumstances i am satisfied that the appellant has established that there is a real risk that his return he would be questioned about the details of his asylum claim even though the judge admitted he thought the man's religious conversion was an attempt to avoid deportation he still found it likely his human rights would be breached we called the opinion of keith best a former chief executive of the immigration advisory service and david coburn a member of the european parliament for scotland. what we are applying is a british act of parliament which had got to the european convention but you know i am not only in the european you eleven on human rights set if we start discriminating against people for reasons of their faith or their sexual propensity
3:15 am
or whatever then we are on very serious go britain should be setting an example around the world of actually maintaining the rights of individuals and once we start slipping from that we fall into the error of many other countries which are far less liberal and that's a very serious decline in civilization now those countries those sovereign nations beat their own decisions and i don't think it's for you to tell them what to do i deplore what they're very but it's their decision now as regards a criminal who comes here and commits a heinous crime of rape quite frankly he has no right to stay in this country and should be removed and we should make it very clear and i would move us from that particular act so that we can make our own decisions about keeping people in the country or having the root cause i'm concerned once it's safe to sectors which you didn't serve by the way it was a part of it is feet would touch the ground the the fundamental human rights
3:16 am
apply universally their plight or everybody and just because you don't like particular people or because they've committed certain crimes you can start to distinguish otherwise you end up like the nazis in germany and i don't want to live in that kind of society. the fate of theory i will be thrashed out in this way city of geneva later today at a meeting hosted by the un's special theory and voice deaf and a mr top diplomats from russia iran and turkey will put their weight behind political efforts to easy as of turmoil in the region our senior correspondent is in geneva for us. the day is either a day for a breakthrough or a breakdown in negotiations russia iran and turkey the three principal actors behind these this peace initiative along with the united nations have been trying to form a constitutional committee to either write
3:17 am
a new constitution for syria or amend the current constitution in order to allow for national elections all the syrian elections in order to you know stablish a peaceful solution to this civil war which is raged for so many years now unfortunately the main sticking point is who gets the stuff this constitutional committee because. the russians the and the rain ians all have different views the syrian government obviously wants to get as many of its people in there the rebels these limits want to get as many of their people into this constitutional committee so that is the main sticking point and we're about to find out what solution they they've come to indeed the turkish foreign minister in turn said that they've had very little support from the u.s. led international coalition and events on the ground a volatile as well because turkey has been threatening
