earlier, my colleague caitriona perry spoke to jens stoltenberg, the secretary general of nato, on theikelihood of that and on president biden�*s message of unity. it was a very important message because it is about protecting the territory and sovereignty of your cane but this is not only about ukraine, it is about all nations and the united nations because if we do not stand up for ukraine then no nation in the world is safe and that was a main message from the president and i totally agree with him. he was very strong as well that this is the second year that the gathering is meeting under the shadow of war. yet, the international community has appeared relatively powerless to stop that. well, many, many countries, more than 50 countries, are part of the us—led effort to provide unprecedented level of military support to ukraine, united kingdom, many other nato allies, and this strong support to ukraine has enabled them to push back the russian invaders, to liberate the territory and now also conducting an offensive which is gradually gaining ground. so, nobody knows how long this w

my colleague caitriona perry spoke about the issues at stake with the president of the un generalassembly, dennis francis. thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news, president. this is obviously a very busy week at the general assembly, but also special summits on the sdgs, global finance, un security council is meeting as well, high—level health meetings, but leaders of some of the most powerful countries have chosen not to attend — france, the uk, india, china, russia. do you consider that a snob? no, i don't. i don't at all. of course, we hoped that the house would be full, but we appreciate that leaders may have other pressing matters that require their attention, and i am sure the views and perspectives of those countries not led by heads of state and/or government will be expressed and represented by their heads of delegation. but if you have only one of the five permanent members sending their leader here, does that raise legitimacy issues about the un? no, it doesn't, because the permanent members have a special status, in the context of the security council. the business we a
