so ukraine has appealed to you the to the un security council council today to discuss put ins move to recognize the donnette greece is region. so during the breast conference actually with the german chancellor will have shot last week. putting said that a genocide is happening there, which obviously is not verifiable information, but you great in believes that this is a political action and this undermines the minsk agreement and a possible peace process. so the fear here in the, as is indeed that russia is just preparing to fabricate a reason to invade and attack ukraine, unity into that kindergarten that was hit by showing earlier today on the diplomatic escalation that we sold to day. and american diplomat has been expelled from russia. what more do we know about that? right, this is ambassador gorman, and he is the 2nd ranking, your estimate in russia. so that was really big news of which broke here or in the morning. so the u. s. believes that this is kind of an unprovoked escalator reaction despite pollutants repeatedly saying that diplomatic doors are still wide open. these ki

obviously ukraine is not on the un security council at the moment, so it needs the support of members of the security council. it now has that support the us, 1st of all, forcibly coming out with a statement we support ukraine's cough. an urgent meeting of un security council goes on. we must all stand with ukraine in the face of this brazen attempt to assert ukraine sovereign territory. that can be no fence sitters in this crisis. and subsequent divide the u. s. dot support from britain and france. and as you say, i don't just ask you for an urgent meeting. they're asking for an urgent open meeting to nights tonight, monday night, here in new york. and it is dug up to the russians who have the presidency to either accept or not. they have the power scheduling, shall we say, they know they have the power when to schedule it. so they could say, well, we will have a meeting, but it won't be tonight. it might be tomorrow. if they really don't want a meeting to happen, a tool, they can't really prevented necessarily when ukraine has the amount of supported it seems to have you can, ukraine could put up some proc

as for the security council, well, the security council meeting is just a pro forma facade for mr. poacher decisions. if you're talking about the security council, what i suspect, he may know that he's launching more troops into battle, putting in to go that he is probably deploy more troops on the west and go to russia, especially because today the part of ministry said that in sweden, and finland opt to join nato and their leader from prime minister in the presence of a threatened respect to the present at the nato summit now. and i remind you need another line nations then the for me to said the russian for mr said that there may be conflict. so maybe he will in our deployments, all of our new trips to, or maybe even nuclear weapons students in his folder. i don't know, we don't know what goes input and have this is the probably actually the biggest problem of this company. certainly the question of the our constantine agra, joining us from vilnius. thanks so much for that update. thank. so when i turn it back, now it to ukraine and demarco jango is anika, nit ski and the rest of the co

well, it will bring the summary all that sir, un security council meeting resolution put forward by security, also council members to condemn russia's military operation in ukraine. the vote will take place, of course, a little later will bring you the result of that as it comes in. now going back to our top story events, obviously, all over ukraine to teachers have been killed by ukrainian or sort of a strike on a school outside burnett's that's according to local officials, a warning you might find the following footage. distressing. now we received these images showing the aftermath no children were in the building at the time. it's within one of the 2 don't bass republics, which russia recognized as independent earlier this week. well, in don't ask itself, residential areas have been ahead. according to locals are ukrainian shell, landed in the parking lot damaging several vehicles. shockwave smashed the windows of a nearby warehouse. one civilian was reportedly severely injured. parties on cost of reports from the net. public. shelling continues here in the next people's republic and we've been heari

perhaps though, with this downgrading off the, the, the, the machinery of the un security council in the security council resolution as it in its current form, perhaps than at the very least though, the u. s. will, will slightly drive a wedge, which is what they've been saying that they want to do between china and russia and at least get a chinese extension. there is such a desperate need as an ash have some kind of diplomacy in what is playing out right now. in potential resolution of the un security council is always going to face a veto. is there a possibility of doing things through the general assembly which can have a more powerful voice in terms of calling for peace? there is a mechanism specifically designed for situations like this when there is deadlock out the un security council because a permanent member is, is vetoing a measure, for example, that's what's called uniting for piece of under un general assembly resolution 3 said $77.00. and we may well hear about that at this, at this security council meeting, because what might happen is, once this resolution fails, i thought the un security

well, as you will recall, the un security council meeting that just concluded with to place in the un security council chamber at the headquarters in manhattan. and it opened with russia presiding and they're rotating role is president of the security council. and we 1st heard from the united states that unloaded some very emotional and harsh allegations against russia, condemning russia's recent moves. this is what we heard from the u. s. representative. we need to take extraordinary actions to meet this threat, to our international system and do everything we can to help ukraine and it's people just this morning, president putin put rushes. nucular forces on high alert, even though he is invading a country with no nuclear weapons. and is under no threat from nato, a defensive alliance that will not fight in ukraine. we urge russia to tone down it's dangerous rhetoric regarding nuclear weapons. now from there, we heard from a number of other countries, many allies of the united states spoke critically. of russia now china took to the floor of the un security council meeting. and china spoke about the

at a un security council meeting russia puts - days. at a un security council russian claims units are returning to their permanent basis. they say more are arriving near ukraine's borders. a bbc investigation reveals how a culture complicity in denial reveals the true scale of clerical six abuse in italy. apple investors are urged to reject a bumper pay award for its boss input. we look at the disparity in pay of the top ceos and their employees. let's get more on our top story. moscow maintains there are no plans to invade ukraine, but large scale military drills are still taking place. the us claims that at least 150,000 russian troops are now postioned close to ukraine's borders, and say more have been arriving — even as moscow claims that units are returning to their permanent bases. in belarus, 30,000 men, equipped with tanks and artillery, have been on manoeuvres. our special correspondent fergal keane travelled from the nearby border town of senkivka in ukraine to the capital kyiv — meeting people who could be in the path of any russian advance. nothing

a, as they have expressed in the previous security council resolution and security council meetings leading up to this one. they say that they're all legitimate security concerns that russia has, as china says, as well as nato continued to expand to russia's borders. i think brazil is just stopped speaking, so we shall see now whether russia calls for the vote. russia as the president of the security council. i request that those funding in favor of the draft resolution contained in document asked $222155.00 to raise their hands don't produce those against dollars. your old abstentions it is regardless the result of the voting is as follows. i give you 11 votes in favor, and one vote against 23 abstentions. that is, the draft resolution has not been adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member of the security council. i now give a floor to those members of the secure to counsel who wish to deliver statements. after the vote, i gave the floor to the representative of albania. your colleagues. alright, does she have on the 15 member security council 11 in favor? one against that w

n. particularly the security council where russia has, of course, veto power. the un defines the security council's responsibility as an a, quote, the maintenance of international peace and security. but faith with this war is really not much, it can do at this point to fulfill its mission. is there? no, you're absolutely right. and, you know, it's absurd, but russia, the ambassador, the russian ambassador to the un is actually chairing this security council in russia has the presidency of the security council. so this 15 nation body, 5 permanent members and 10 temporary members, they met before. we both know this a few days back now another to day later in the day here, local time in new york, another emergency meeting of the security council. and maybe there will be, again, very, very, a harsh, a debate and language used and pointing out with russia does. and how most of those are, or all of those security council members, or see what russia is doing. but again, this takes a veto from russia, and this will come by the un ambassador to the u. s. by the u. n. a best of russia . and then there will

the un security council _ more directly as well. the un security council. the un security council are meeting l more directly as well. the un | security council are meeting in half an hour. how unprecedented is a last—minute late—night meeting like this? is a last-minute late-night meeting like this?- is a last-minute late-night meeting like this? this is the second meeting _ meeting like this? this is the second meeting of _ meeting like this? this is the second meeting of its - meeting like this? this is the second meeting of its kind i meeting like this? this is the i second meeting of its kind this week to discuss ukraine and the measure is likely to condemn russia for its actions and brand them as against the international law but that resolution is unlikely to be upheld for the simple reason that russia has veto power on the security council. all this is an echo somewhat of 2014, of course, when the security council and manage the actions of russia in regards to crimea but that also was vetoed by russia and later the full un general assembly adopted

meeting with the un security council a couple of days ago where resolution was put forward that condemns the russian invasion of ukraine. so there was a vote on that in the un security council, the now your security council has 15 members, 5 of them are permanent, and 10 of them rotate. and, and the votes came out with 11 members in favor, 3 extensions, and one against only one country against that was russia, but its vote against her because it is one of the permanent members of the un security council. it has a veto. that means that it can block anything coming through. there was already a sense of some isolation for russia. there, there had been some speculation, the chinese, who often vote with russia in the un security council and russia and china being growing closer in recent times. there's been a lot of focus on the strengthening relationship between russia and china. they're pushing back against united states in the west will, despite all of that, china abstained in that vote in india and the united arab emirates with the other countries that abstained. but what can happen after there's been a vote like that in the un security council says something called a united

security council. the for any security council has just said that again. okay, thank you for that. the w correspondent, matessa, pulling in eastern ukraine. well, the crisis in ukraine is expected to dominate the munich security conference, which begins today us vice president cobbler harris was one of the 1st phone representatives to arrive here in germany for the annual 3 day discussion forum which was launched the height of the cold war for the 1st time since $991.00, russia will not be there. full coverage of the unit security conference here on the d. w from this afternoon. now we'll take a look at some of the other stories of making headlines around the world. leaders from a european, from the european unit and the african union continued talked to reset the relationship between 2 continents. african leaders highlighted the unequal global response to covey. 91 vaccinate vaccine. payton's to be waived as a policy which many nations opposed talks also cover investment and security issues . the u. s. judges rule that former president, donald trump, must testify in a new york cou

council, despite misgivings about its timing and contribution to achieving peace. these -- stem outwardly from our unyielding commitment, of respect for and interest in upholding the charter and the role of the security council. the urgency of the situation has convinced us of the need to -- the voice of the general assembly to that of the security council in seeking solutions to the crisis in and around ukraine. this is no way detracts from our firm belief that the council, with its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security , has not yet exhausted the -- and mechanisms at its disposal to contribute to a negotiated and diplomatic solution towards peace. therefore, we reiterate our call for an immediate cessation of hostilities, for full respect of humanitarian law and a renewed attempt within the council within the support to the process of dialogue between the parties involved. the council is inherently better equipped to provide in order to bring a peaceful solution to the ukrainian conflict. the security council and the general assembly must work together. as for renewed calls for an immediate cease-fire, we also appeal to ukraine and russia to facilitate the withdrawal of all persons who want to leave the ukrainian territory. brazil already wishes to express its gratitude to poland, slovakia, hun

palace in paris, france, a permanent member of the un security council, has now what is going to request an emergency meeting off the security council? we have been checking with the current president of the security council to see whether they have file that paperwork because if they do that, that's not meeting tub at any time. if you could come in the coming hours and we keep hearing about paperwork is being un, hasn't actually been filed. but it's interesting when i discuss calls to the president, the current president of the un security council. it's russia. russia has the bumps lee had, is the monthly rotation, the head of the un security council at this point for the next 7 days, at least. and it's true that they could put up some procedural hurdles if they wanted to, but they would probably be very easily overcome to prevent any sort of any emergency meeting, given the support from the security cause the 2nd general and several other members off the security council they just need 9 members to overcome any procedural handles. but also when you discuss the possibilities here, they're all those you say, well, russia probably wo

security council. as primary responsible for upholding international peace and security the security council cannot remain silent when basic principles of our international rules-based order are trampled by military boots and squashed by tanks. last friday the security council decision was blocked by the veto of a permanent member, the russian federation. even though 81 members of the international community supported the draft resolution of the pen holders. the veto powers foreseen in the u.n. charter but so is the obligation to uphold u.n. principles. if, in the 21st century, the security council is blocked in a situation that constitutes a blatant breach of international law we should ask ourselves if the system of veto power is able to regulate our international relations. yet, colleagues, our meeting here today is also good. it is good that the general assembly is there to step in if the security council cannot fulfill its mandate. and it is good that we now have the opportunity here in this general assembly hall to raise our voices to recall the principles of the u.n. charter, our charter, and to st

that's going to happen is any challenge to do rushes position on the security council because those who are entrenched on the security council position would look at our own behavior and think, wait a 2nd. this could be problems for us to that's very unlike any. so a reform of the security council always been resisted by those who know what the status quo to exist. so i think that's, that's highly, highly unlikely. thank you, shall we? can he, at the united nations? well, let him appreciate most useful ally so far has been better ration present. alexander, look shanker, tens of thousands of russian troops of used battery says, a launch pad to invade ukraine and the capital kiev now, which isn't far from the border syrian present. michelle, i said his call putin to express his support. i said has been a staunch ally of russia since it started bombing syria's rebel held areas in 2015 . turning the tide of war in the government favor russia's strongest allies in latin america, venezuela and cuba have blamed nato for the crisis. and ukraine, calling for the conflict to be resolved peacefully, and brazil's president, jericho scen

they bade, i'm staying in the un security council, as in the un security council, one assembly worded a resolution was presented out that was using rather coercive mechanisms of the un security council. st. always interesting to see where the china will abstain all vote against as well. as also india and the u. e in the security council, they abstained as well. so there's always that was those dynamics drive are interesting to see i'm, i think what we get, what we're expecting, that is another hour and a half or so of, of debate or lease of speeches at the un general assembly before a break. and then they will resume, resume again around 20 g empty. we expect. okay, yeah, thank you so much. well, earlier we heard from the ukrainian ambassador to the u. n. and he was speaking at that special session. he compared the situation in keys to world war 2 have been prompted to call for an emergency special session. as the level of this rat to the global security has been equated to the who that or the 2nd world war or even higher. following, put in order to put an alert russian nuclear forces

security council on a resolution to condemn russia. we mentioned that in the package. it is unlikely to pass. one voice on the security council we need to pay attention to is china. china has made clear it wants russia and ukraine to continue dialogue but they are pointedly not criticizing the invasion in the same way other nations are around the world. also china said it will allow russia to sell grains to china and that could weaken the punch of some of the western sanctions. >> we'll have to watch and see with all of this. thank you so much for the live report. >>> for up to the minute updates on the crisis in ukraine, head to kpix.com or watch cbs news bay area on the kpix5 app. >>> our other top story, we are talking the weather. looking live, another day of cold, cold temperatures. let's go to mary lee with your first alert weather. the chill continues. >>> you can feel it once you step outside for sure. that big winter chill. we are looking at temperatures plummeting this morning down to the 20s, 30s, and 40s and likely coldest morning so far this year. hopefully you can layer up, bundle up, put on that big winter coat

and a private meeting is a sub sets off meetings of the security council and in need of private meetings of the security council. but this would involve all 15 members of the security council and ukraine, and they would have a discussion behind closed doors. and from what we knew, what we've gathered in the past, these us of sound to discussions where they really saw hashing things out. so if that happens, then this isn't the sort of thing that you know, you don't know dismissed the un for which is the ground standing in the speeches and just trying to get the, the big headlines and, and so to speak, your constituencies that would be something perhaps that potentially, you know, would be, would be some standard. however, what we are also hearing is there's a possibility that the u. s. is still pushing for an open meeting of the security council where people could, i mean, it's interesting. we look, look at a linda thomas greenville statement, the us ambassador you and one of the last thing she says is that can be no fence sitters in this crisis. and you wonder whether the u. s. is taking a slightly different ap

council, despite misgivings about its timing and its contribution to achieving peace. these misgivings stem, ultimately, from our unyielding commitment of respect for and interest in upholding the charter and the role of the security council. the urgency of the situation has convinced us of the need to add the voice of the general assembly to that of the security council in seeking solutions to the crisis in and around ukraine. this in no way detract from our firm belief that the council, with its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, has not yet exhausted the intro instruments and mechanisms at its disposal to contribute to a negotiated and diplomatic solution towards peace. therefore, we reiterate our call for an immediate cessation of hostilities for full respect to humanitarian law and for a renewed attempt within the council for the promotion of and support to a process of dialogue between the parties involved. a role that the council is inherently better equipped to provide, in order to bring a peaceful solution to the ukrainian conflict. the security council and the general assembly must work together as will renew our calls for an immediate cease fire. we also appeal to ukraine and russia to facilitate the withdrawal of all persons who want to leave the ukrainian territory. brazil already wishes to exp

the security council and wider un membership have received today have received important information, information that members of the security council need to take, when appropriate to act swiftly and decisively, employing preventive diplomacy into the chapter 6 of the un charter, to investigate any disputes for any situations that might lead to international fiction or give rise to a dispute. after listening to the russian ambassador today, i would like to ask how long russia will pursue a clear attempt to boost ukraine and its partners into a trap. .. acknowledge that it was important to hear the russian envoy today, and i must end with what my foreign minister has recently said. i quote. if russian officials are serious when they say they do not want a new when they say they don't want a new war. russia must continue diplomaticw engagement and pull back military forces amassed along ukraine's border. diplomacy is only responsible way, end of quote. let's judge by actions, not by riddles and semantics. thank you for your attention. >> i thank the representative of ukraine and they give the floor to the rep of belarus. [speaking in

security council. russia just voted it down. i. it seems like this was a night for the un security council to be the side of a lot of theatrical performance art. and that seems to be what took place. well, caleb, thank you for breaking down. what was quite a dramatic un security council meeting. that's all these new york correspondence. sorry, america course. one moment. thank you. to teachers have been killed by a ukrainian artillery strike on a school outside danielle scott's, according to local officials. now warning you may find some of the falling footage disturbing. receive these images showing the aftermath no children. fortunately were of the building of the time it's within one of the 2 dom bus. republics, which russia recognizes independence earlier this week. and in danielle sk itself, residential areas have been heads according to locals are ukranian shell landed in parking lot damage in several vehicles. the shock wave smashed the windows of a nearby warehouse, and one civilian was reportedly severely injured. off caesar among coarser reports from the dentist republic, as shelling continues here in the nest people's republica

it that meeting me, you and security council meeting, of course, as you see in the un security council convenient emergency meeting in new york. now that meeting, of course, there was the expected, the west, the accused russia of provocation and violating ukraine's integrity is sovereignty . and of course, in the recognition of the 2 guns and jeannette regions is a complete violation of, of international law. now, on the other hand, russia, the russian representative of the city and had been just said that we cannot allow for ukraine's and balkan and other military adventures we had in 2014. he says it's important to focus on how to avoid war. however, ukraine hasn't really kept his side of the men's agreement bargain. of course, there are accusations that russia has completely disregarded that means agreement wasn't a no obligations from that agreement in 2015 because the, the russian side say it was an agreement between 3 sides. the 2 regions, and there and key if they have said, of course it is, is patty paramount to them to find the diplomatic solution of course, have this de escal

meeting with un security council a couple of days ago where resolution was put forward, the condemned the russian invasion of ukraine. so there was a vote on that in the un security council, the now your security council has 15 members, 5 of them are permanent, and 10 of them rotate. and, and the vote came out with 11 members in favor, 3 extensions and one against only one country against that was russia, but its vote against him because it is one of the permanent members of the un security council.

security council. the security council overwhelmingly, while the general assembly today was overwhelmingly supporting ukraine. they were very strong statements. the security council, russia has a veto. then it has a veto. china is not gonna want russia to be -- you know, to be sidelined here. they are going to support -- not the invasion, but they will support russia and russians admission. russia has a veto so there will be a new and action over the presidential? we'll talk about more sanctions. presumably nato will have a meeting with the north atlantic council which is the decision-making military unit and they will order those troops, they were 8500 american troops it's a rapid defense force in that force will go to poland, lithuania and the frontline states. it will not cross into ukraine there will be an insurgency in defense but so far everything they laid out has been spot on. they expected the third wave of this will be the tanks coming down those highways towards kyiv from belarus. they've already been landing and can land from the ships, more ships in the black sea. so, you are kind of surrounded.
