what a party looks like. we lived through a pot, tate, we suffered and died under a pa tate. we will not remain silent and watch as a part date is perpetrated a gaze of the through the united nations and the instruments. it will, we must end the suffering that palestinians are being subjected to. we are called upon to oppose the principles of the you and taught and to oppose consistently. and in their entirety, the fundamental tenants offer international law. international law

cannot be applied selectively. no one states is more equal than any other in december last year. so that africa approached the international court of justice seeking an order to prevent. is it either from committing genocide against the people? gaza? we did so in terms ofa obligations as a stage party to the convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide. south africa, we were come to support that a number of countries have given to the case that we have launched at the i, c, j, the i. c. j's orders. make it clear that as that is possible,

there is a possible case of genocide against the people of gauze. they fail to make it clear that states must also act to prevent genocide by is right. and to ensure that they are not themselves part due to the violation of the genocide convention by aging or assisting in the commission of genocide. we reiterate our call for an immediate cease fire and for the release of all hostages. the only last thing solution is the establishment of a palestinian state. a state that will exist side by side with ease drive which is general is l m s. it's capital.

our motto, conscience fed that demands that we exit every effort to bring peace also to other countries, especially the eastern part of the democratic republic of the congo to so don to ukraine and other parts of the african continent. we must realize the aspirations of the people of wisdom, so hard to self determination achieving and maintaining peace and security requires. the collective will of the community of nations, guy that here is requires that the u. n. a security council should be more representative body and inclusive 78 years since its formation. the structure of the united nations security

council remains largely unchanged. africa, and it's 1400000000 people remain excluded from its key decision making structure. this cannot continue. the security council has not fulfilled it's monday to maintain international peace and security. the u. n. a security concept must be formed as a metal agency. we would like to see the security con, so it'd be more inclusive, so that the voices of all nations can be had. and the coincidence, which cannot remain an exclusive job of dest 5 nations,

to the exclusion of the many nations in the world operate cost ends ready to play its role in building a se fog nova order by participating in the wake of the un security council. on the basis of respect and acceptance, the african union and its members days are engaged in mediation and dialogue and diplomacy across a continent to create conditions under which piece and development can take hold. that must be greater collaboration between the not to nations and the african union to what the resolving and number of conflicts. and also in addressing that root causes of conflicts that continue to rage pandemic. and,

and that makes pose a serious threats to us. or we are concerned by the spread of impacts across the world. and in africa, in particular, we urge the international community to mobilize vaccines and other medical counter measures for deployment, where the most needed economic prosperity is key to sustainable peace through the africa, continental free trade area. we are establishing the foundation for most of the increase in trade and investment, an infrastructure in our continents the a, f, c, f, t, a welfare that integrates region of economies. and accelerate,

of because industrialization, economic go. the crime it causes is now a full blown time at emergency. and there will this impacts very devastatingly to both countries and citizens of many countries. extreme weather, such as flooding, fires in drought, are becoming wreaking havoc on societies, economies, and livelihoods of ordinary people despise being least responsible for climate change. developing economy countries and particularly african countries, are betting the bronze of what they did not create. and in the front line,

i saw that africa, we remain committed to contributing our fair share to reduce know about emissions, guided by the principle of common, but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities. we have a deputation and mitigation programs and policies in place and have pos and climate change law to further and support our emissions reductions targets. it is essential that the climate actions do not deepen global, any quality or stifled the developmental aspirations of the global solve. the industrialized nations on not on not being the tri image commitments and really pizza the call for predictable and sustainable financing. full time into

action, we must operationalize agreed upon climate financing and capacity building instruments to advance mitigation and other applications. pursuing sustainable development necessitates that those with greater means should support those who lack their their world faces on your financing gap of some 4 trillion dollars to achieve sustainable development . we call a better resource countries to scale up the level of support to developing economy. countries that is the middle stone around the neck of many develop the card on the countries stifling their potential and

development dead service thing is it all being a number of countries of much needed funds to support health, education and social spending? south africa endorses the united nations secretary general, it's cold or the form of the global financial architecture to enable developing economy. countries to lift themselves out of the quick sand of debt. we must commit to systems for financing development that are more accessible their job and equitable in 2025 south africa will assume the presidency the of the g. 20 we will use this important row to advocate

for the peoples of africa and on the go about a song for the development in advancement south africa where it comes the adoption of the pact for the future and congratulates our sister country. and i'm libya, as well as the federal republic of germany for having a boost yet the united nations to was the adoption of the resolution and disregard this part of the future is a platform for us to focus on those actions. we need to take together to build a world in which the e, quite

a width of every person and the court west of every country is recognized and ready . we particularly welcome the commitment to place poverty indication of the center of all our efforts. and for the sustainable development goals, financing gap and developing countries to be coves. the disparities in wealth and development within and between countries is simply adjusted, unsustainable. we must continue to strive for equal treatment for you quite opportunity, an advancement for all individuals and all nations. the packed for the future must be in bed, invigorate, intonation. i certainly doubt it like veins that carry sustenance through every

part of the body. solid daughter t is the life blood of human progress. it binds us to get a as to nowadays, the greater goods. it is keeping the greater goods for the common goods to which we all strive through dialogue, through respect for the rule of law, through the advancement of human rights through cooperation, until the data we can and we would be able to achieve a better word for all the peoples of the, well, i thank you right. you were just listening in there to the south african presidency around the pose of speaking at the 79th session view and the general assembly taking place. uh right now in new york, we heard him speak on a number of issues, but the main one being the ongoing more and in gaza and the expanding violence and

to 11 on which has been an issue that many of the other world leaders have raised today. as well, we heard run a post to say that the original un helps to end apartheid in his country. but genocide continues to be an ongoing, a crime against humanity. calling isabel's response to the october 7th, tomas attacks collective punishment. he called on the you end to end the suffering of palestinians, and he also called for an immediate cease fire release of all hostages. and the 2 state solution will be keeping on top of the un general assembly session. um, as it continues and bring you the very latest right here on archie as it happens. but the idea of says it has carried out a targeted that straight on the lebanese capital, reportedly killing hezbollah, missile forces commander. just a warning. you might find these following images, disturbing of footage circulating on social media shows moms hitting they roots at

least 6. the people have been killed and 15 injured in that attack. according to the lebanese health ministry idea of strikes and claimed, a total of more within $550.00 lives over the past 2 days with more than $1800.00 wounded parties. yes, and i can and maria from ocean to bring us the latest from both sides of the embattled porter. my team and i were at a sites of an attack where the is really air force conducted in air strikes, essentially leveling a residential complex building and damaging many buildings and its surroundings. and the air strikes took place in the early hours of the day. but we understand that as these developments are increasing, attacks like this are becoming more frequent. these attacks also suggest that the is really military is of course carrying out attacks targeting has the last target, but it is not discriminating against civilian targets. we understand that people are fleeting southern territories, this taking refuge in the lebanese capital of a route. and these attacks are, of course, taking place in places that people are seeking refuge. and it's becoming that much

more difficult for people to find safety because people don't have any what's to go to finding a home in the, in the capital is becoming a bigger task. so schools and institutions like that are opening up as a refuge as our set, our shelters for people to come and feel safe. where as a public amenities and services are becoming a lot more difficult to provide for set people, thousands and thousands of people have essentially flipped those territories. and just based on the developments, they are still resilience in one way or the other list as to what some of the loop was upset after that. and we evaluated from our homes because these real is targeting civilians that it is not striking military targets, but only civilian one after that's why we left our homes to protect our children. we struggled a lot on the road just to get here. some of my relatives and my wife's brother slept on the streets because they haven't found shelter yet. and that is all the schools are full of displaced people. over the course of the past few days, the death toll has essentially been have we're looking at hundreds of people that

have been killed as a result of these attacks. and it seems, is really government and military is essentially looking away to escalate this already dire situation. i'm guessing what kind of reaction are we getting from lebanese officials? the lebanese prime minister, for example, refers to israel's war as a war of extermination. that israel is not distinct distinguishing or even providing any context as to why it is coming out the attacks that it does. it does, of course, have a number of a sort, a certain rhetoric that it does use to address these claims. but the lemmings parameters just as a israel shut them exterminate living on. and then we have people like could be a member of parliament of living on who is currently at the u. n. j. the $1791.00 general assembly managed to have that issue that we're seeing the destruction of large areas of agricultural land and residential buildings in the majority of the regions of lebanon. this has damage the economy of our country and threatened our social order, especially after many countries have requested the citizens to leave lebanon as

soon as you manage it urgent, they need style, a reflection, and consideration of this significant face, threatening an international security and peace. the international system has witnessed cases of disintegration, violence, and the lack of commitment to universal values, inviting charges, assess the data and efforts to distill confidence in the global system. the statement provided there, of course, refers to a number of attacks that israel has carried out over the course of the past year. not necessarily pretending to the tax. over the course of the last week. we understand that over the past year, israel has carried out attacks on southern territories, but they've also been accused of using white phosphorus and other incent already. weapons that are normally banned under international law. and weapon conventions, which essentially suggests that they should not be used against the military targets. little of civilian targets and of the agricultural land is suffering. the economy of the country is suffering. but if you look at the rhetoric coming out of israel, they would suggest that they have full justification, moving forward,

which being in of itself is troubling. but as it stands, that people are living on our resilience who makes sense, but the level of fear is rising exponentially, just as a threat of a full scale worries. memory of what's being said, by his way. the officials about this latest the cells on living on israel's key and primary justification for is environment of live on is the threat to pose fights has been long 11 on base proof that israel considered as a terrorist organization. the israel has full 2 wars with in the past. according to these really army has launched around a 1000 me 5 washington drones, toys is, was northern communities in the past 12 months following his phone lines with him and confronting each my last over his room is determined that this threat must be eliminated and continue, isn't operation called northern arrows for the 2nd consecutive day. the 8th is clearly state has destroyed his boneless capabilities, military capabilities,

and creates and conditions that will allow tens of thousands of his really batteries from the north to return home safely in response to growing concerns about hayes rel, targeting civilian areas, these really are being politicians trying to explain that while his goal was military infrastructure is the key target, it's integration within civilian areas means that the residential neighborhoods could be fired on our pirate as well. basically accusing hezbollah, of using people of lebanon as a human shield. the slow moving i told you yesterday to evacuate the houses where he put a missile in the living room and a rocket in the garage. the one who has a missile in his living room and a rocket in his garage will not have a home. but i tell you another thing. he causes your country to be in danger. for yourselves, from the grip of has the law, the state of israel maintains the lebanon and his beloved, the terror organization which operates under the guidance of a wrong,

are responsible for this escalation of the security situation. and they are in violation of international law. and the un security council resolutions, alex stated, position is that whoever, whoever does not understand this needs to get this right now is that is role is not waiting for the threats. we are pre empting, it was really our main deed, has described. no been arrows as proactive operation since monday morning. the idea of has feed almost 2000 targets in an effort to disrupt who follows combat infrastructure. we hear reports about a great deal of cruise be solved, medium range won't cause where the reach of up to 200 kilometers short range. what codes and drones, as far as the army also has fired ammunition storage and stalks of arms. but his follow, according to the idea, has been accumulated for 20 years. and the key is that the army vows to continue. so we're going to see even more dramatic escalation that we're weakness now.

meanwhile, we hear from his roles key ally, washington, that they want to end the war earlier in tuesday, president biden spoke at the un payroll. assembly reads a rating. the countries concerns about the middle east heading towards how larger conflicts they describe. guys as turning into a how on earth and emphasize that to large scale award between israel and 11 on is not in anyone's interest. he stated that the washington is working tirelessly to a t p. we'll have to say it is a surprising science from the main to pull 10 main sponsor of israel's offensive and both gauze and not allowing them back to the agencies and the and see we know a high but honestly we're totally, i seem to be that idea of strikes by launching missiles into as well was to be the latest on that. what i have to say that since last october or the no help israel has not been safe and a t's even more times. now during this recent escalation, scroller is really immediate reported about casualties,

but it has never been confirmed by police or emergency team teams or the army. one person has seen the report of injury hayden has been let's try penny of the city of york. nissan. some 20 minutes south of the city of haifa is area hasn't been targeted by his beloved either for, for many, many years since 2006 at this area is known for having to military bases next to region, including a very crucial one. the air base, so grandma dev it's that's apparently his follow cuz we're aiming as theory of clear you all to where essential factories i'll locate. it has also been a time as a result of these attacks. hospitals of the north move the patients to underground bunker is the on monday. and we hear that it's more than 300000 is really spent the time in bomb shelters as of monday. and we also heard that the idea of has announced that all of his role is now under a special home phone situation, not just the border area, but most importantly, again,

the army is following to continue. so we are not expecting to see the end of these, the board ones on the 5th escalation anytime soon. i'm a law ron has vowed revenge in response to as well as the actions in the region to ron's parliamentary speaker, has blamed the west for supporting israel comedy fall. but it's all the own. the united states and the european union emphasize international laws when it is beneficial to them and their allies. but in the, in the ruling body of the united states is willing to sacrifice humanity for the interest of the military. industrial complex and international design is a mental, amid the rapidly deteriorating situation in the region. the us as announced the deployment of additional troops to the middle east. clearly the tensions in the middle east right now. our hi, this is why not only the department of defense, but other us government officials are engaging with their partners and governments throughout the region to reduce those tensions in light of increased tension in the

middle east and out of an abundance of caution. we are sending a small number of additional us military personnel forward to augment our forces that are already in the region or at least cross live now to fill it as audi, professor of political communication at the university of to ron professor good to have you on the program with us earlier we heard a rather bold statement from is really official saying a ron is basically to blame for the situation in level non. why does it seem? is real frequently points to iran in these cases? as well as there is a genocide division that have killed more than 41 at 1000 palestinians. uh the last 11 months. uh, most of them women and children. they have killed more than 500 people. it says just yesterday and another not. and what do you expect?

do you expect them to acknowledge the fact that they go to genocide the regime? was it either way of them talking? is that blaming someone else? some other country engaging in little bit at that is just defining their crimes. and they have chosen the 2nd choice. they was a kind of tv, this type of the escalation, the other spreading that was in this part of the room with us that pens watch will be by there is a speech at the united nations for the support thing that the genocide, the regime in a by then, is that from on that i, chief in the united states at the plains, the ships that canny american missiles, american bombs,

carry these bombs following widens orders, antique with this stuff, the war anytime he wants to buy, not supplying the veterans to the genocide division, and he continues to supplies in a frenzy fact, just a couple of weeks ago. united states announced that you're sending $20000000000.00 more worth of the pens to is very determined us. and this is the result was watching the results on. ready television screen, more missiles means more, a blog ship can of motion to rent. and this is what we're dealing with. is there any of these debates a few days for the un general assembly to pass and the fact that they are attaching global, non in dismantle, on the day of the 1st day of the un, general assembly says that they have no regard for international law. they have nor

desired for humanitarian laws is done to genocide the regime, genocide, the vision from religion. janice, the, the pen, the pentagon has announced the deployments of additional us forces to the middle east in an effort to what they say is tensions. i believe it's a small number, maybe if a few dozen, i think there's already some 40000 us um soldiers in the region. do you think this will have any kind of impact on the situation there right now? you know, when the american official does it say something generally the opposite is true when they talk about it on russia or other countries at once, who being defendants from american hegemony from imperialism. so whatever they say you just to send that out and the tooth is office, is that what,

what they send? so when they say that they want to use tensions, they mean they actually are sending more troops to help is there it is. the printing magenta side. okay. and this has been the practice. americans have been saying that we are not interested in escalation as they continue to escalate the pounds in hand with, okay, it is a, is there a few cancer boards to do what you're seeing on yours? okay, okay, professor, my apologies for a bit tied on time, so we're gonna have to leave it there for now. that's for design a professor of political communication at the university of toronto. thank you. the library zalinski is on a charm offensive in the u. s. as he tries to drum up more support for his war effort and some american politicians are happy to oblige. the printing liter has been treated to a tour of an ammunition planted in pennsylvania that makes shelves for his army. democratic governor josh imperial entertained a zalinski by signing bombs that will be used to kill russians. many americans

aren't happy to see their taxes spent on helping kids instead of solving problems at home. all right, let's go now live to oklahoma where i'm joined by jeremy cuz we're off managing, editor of cobra to action magazine. jeremy, i know this is a trends of politicians signing moms. i don't know why that's the thing now, but apparently it is. i'd like to hear your reaction to seeing the governor of pennsylvania, of signing bombs, that will be used by you kindly, co russians. personally, i find this to be deeply offensive. those bombs are going to be killing people. he's signing all the graphing as if he's proud and some kind of slab or the real sol, as for the people who are struck by those missiles. and it seems to be inappropriate . the governor, his job is to govern his day to improve the quality of life of his people, not to support these foreign wars. and it shows that they are just blatantly war profiteering.
