laura: on the diplomatic front, a rare emergency session of the united nations general assembly. helming majority of countries voting to condemn the invasion of ukraine, calling for a major withdrawal of the troops in moscow. there was a standing ovation when the measure passed. ukrainian president thank the assembly saying that they chose the right side of history. we have more now from the u.n. headquarters in new york. tell us about the significance of the vote, which of course russia is going to ignore. >> the diplomats i spoke too here said that they were not isolated, it was just the u.s. and its allies that were against it but this vote makes it very clear how the international community stands. obviously general assembly votes are not winding like security council votes, but they are symbolic and they do have that moral weight to them in here we had 141 countries voting for this resolution to deplore the russian aggression against ukraine and only five countries, only four countries joining russia to vote against the draft. let's look at who they were. countries with abysm

let me go to add jessica, and in her address to this special meeting of the united nations general assembly this week, jessica, german foreign minister on a linda barber said the following, and i quote, russia's war marks the dawn of a new era. it's a watershed moment, it requires each and every one of us to take a firm and responsible decision and take a side. are we seeing an iron curtain, a new iron curtain go down across europe? take aside? well, this is truly a turning point in german and in european history. what we've seen from this new government, the statements from chancellor shaw, it's last weekend and from minutes to bad book at the un, this shows a complete shift in our entire foreign policy and security policy. what they're not doing is trying to divide europe. on the contrary, this is a call for unity between democratic partners in europe. what russia has done, let me put it like this. no country in europe has no great power, and nato has tried more than germany to maintain those close ties with russia. in fact, germany has been starkly, criticized for months for not taking a

of ukrainian people. the united nations general assembly is overwhelmingly approved. there was a rote resolution that deplores at russia's invasion of ukraine. the resolution was backed by a 141 countries and demands that russia immediately withdrawals. witness continues now. ah . with a with them. ah. ah ah. if it doesn't benefit by doing go up. we'll see with a k, a k k l a in approach does anyone have these has done up the less i'll see you and that was designed and i will stacy with . 2 the morning in ah ah, what else would alady well as a bailey he ladiva with denise, does he formulated and will hit is is inc, wondering what end up but is it a complete doesn't it is a little get 80 war, nevada. all we did on the delicate but assuming that he said they will hit it equal been been a death according daniels. but as england, ethical body the all me see the other a whole new but a sand bennett. even then, as you look at las usa, this is a distress signal from amnesty international. in el salvador, abortion is prohibited in cases. please out, please listen with. i don't

and as we have seen in all of the united nations general, assembly votes that have been taken at china. either abstains or even votes against . so i think very unlikely that china would go along with such a move. but the move clearly would be a symbolic in the sense that it would further isolate russia and in that sense it biden also said yesterday in response to a question at one of his press conferences that when we sanction russia, we're not looking simply to deter it. in the short term, we are essentially declaring these are our norms and they don't and violations a don't occur with impunity. violations will be sanctioned, punished. and i think that's very much what this suggestion is about to say to russia. you start a war. you are not any longer. a member of this illustrious club. yeah, indeed. but we are still waiting for that press conference. melinda, we've been talking about this flurry of activity that there was in brussels yesterday with the back to back meetings of the of nato, the g 7, and e. u. a leader is summit as well. let's take a look back at our recap now of what e
