general paper, the assembly has become a cycle of diplomatic wars. >> the start of the assembly was chaotic for donald trump. his domestic problems seem to be overshadowing his role. >> that is what the new york times says in this article describing his first day as chaotic. he kept getting asked questions about the sexual misconduct allegations against brett kavanaugh. the paper says, it is hard to recall a general assembly that opens against a backdrop of such political turmoil on so many fronts. also making headlines. ministernd's prime brought her newborn daughter for the general assembly. she is the first first baby to attend the general assembly. the prime minister is still breast-feeding. that is why she brought her daughter and husband along. >> i love that story and i love that picture. you are going to take us through some recent developments in the world of medicine. with what the british paper is calling a breakthrough in alzheimer's. recent studies show that alzheimer's is called by -- is caused by strong -- buy small particles that destroy brain cells and attack the human memo

turning to insulting diplomats or countries so i believe in also in this regard the general assembly is a standard set up here i know that one of the initiatives you launched was the so-called morning dialogues a platform which allows permanent representatives to meet and discuss issues in an informal and perhaps more personal more open the way why does it have to be in the morning don't you think that they could have built a better report after hours especially those after hours happened to coincide with happy hours. you know i'm a career diplomat. and i've been. dealing with this profession for thirty years now and i see that. lately there is less and less space for real dialogue dialogue means you don't read your script but you are rather say what you thing and you find time to listen to the others and to to think about what they have to say and the official schedule of the united nations is so busy that bus of theirs and diplomats are running from one meeting to the next one and the usually only have time to present their national positions but what is absent here is the dialogue

general assembly. well iran was always i think going to be the key issue this time around remember a few months ago president trump did what he'd been saying he was going to do for months which is pulled out of the iran nuclear deal he very much has iran in his sights say year ago it was all condemnation of north korea but of course that has changed and he believes that his government is now on the right path with north korea president rouhani will also be here in new york addressing the general assembly will watch both of those speeches to world leaders but also we need to watch a meeting of the u.n. security council which is taking place on wednesday here in new york the u.s. happens to have the monthly presidency of the security council and they've decided to have a meeting at leader levels around the security council table where you normally see ambassadors instead you're going to see presidents prime ministers and foreign ministers a meeting that is going to be chaired by president trump technical

this session of the general assembly is a unique opportunity to move forward. i mentioned one example. i welcome a strong show of support for my action for peacekeeping initiative that has been endorsed by 146 states and regional organizations to help our mission succeed in volatile contexts. today, i want to concentrate on which sends last year have taken on urgency, climate change and the risks associated with the advances in technology. let me take each of them in turn. excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, i will touch upon what is a direct essential threat, climate change. we have reached a pivotal moment. if we do not change course in the next 2 years, way risk runaway climate change. climate change is moving faster, and its unbridled speed has sent alarm bells ringing across our world. according to the world meteorological organization, the past two decades have included 18 of the warmest years on record since record-keeping began in 1850. the most solid, section of ice located north of greenland began to break up for the first time. the concentration of c

while the northern ireland secretary announces she's cutting the pay of members of the stormont assembly the political deadlock continues. but one mp thinks it's time for outside help. it's truly apparent now that the exercise of hand wringing that we are all engaged in collectively here today isn't going to bring about the change that we need. also on this programme: a stark warning that antibiotic resistance could lead to the end of modern medicine. we will be given the choice of either having an expensive treatment that is likely to cure you, but you'll get an infection that might be resistant, and you'll probably die of it. but first: it was a hushed house of parliament that listened intently to theresa may's statement on wednesday on the salisbury nerve agent attacks. she told mps the two men responsible were believed to the russian military intelligence officers. former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter, yulia, were poisoned back in march. this sparked a major police investigation. there was a widespread clean—up and decontamination effort in the city of salisbury. the pa

general assembly. well it's the message i think we've seen from others at this general assembly certainly from emanuel mark roll the president france who had a longer and perhaps more eloquent speech than the president of the european council dull to ask but they're making the same point basically there are as you say there is the world all of this existed for seventy years that is being under threat by populism and nationalism around the world he said at the end there some of the most powerful countries in the world may be thinking of moving away from this there is no actual mention of president trump of the u.s. but i'm sure it was implied in that then when you go through the detail of how multilateralism can work you can see where the problems lie because he talked about the paris climate deal the u.s. has pulled out of that he talked about the iran nuclear deal signed in twenty fifteen the u.s. has pulled out of that too and then he talked about the agreements that they're trying to reach on migrat

but first, members of the northern ireland assembly are to have their pay cut by around a third, as the stormont continues. there has been no devolved government since power—sharing collapsed in january 2017. mlas‘ salaries will be reduced from £1i9,500tojust over 42,000 in november, with a further cut three months later if the assembly is not restored. it is clear that during any such interim period, they will not be performing the full range of their legislative functions. so in parallel, i will take the steps necessary to reduce assembly members‘ salaries, in line with recommendations made by trevor rainey. the reduction will take effect in two stages, commencing in november. and to confirm, it will not reduce the allowance of staff, as i do not think the mlas‘ staff should suffer because of the politicians failing to form an executive. karen bradley said she‘d also bring forward legislation to enable civil servants to continue taking decisions, in the absence of the executive, and she‘d be setting aside the legal requirement for a stormont assembly election if there‘s no devolved go
