security council and the national security council of the united states. the meeting today is no exception to that, unfortunately. i would like to also wants again draw your attention to the status of the so-called u.n. troops in korea. the commander of these troops is at the same time, the commander of u.s. forces in korea and the joint u.s. republic of korea command. from the viewpoint of international law, under conditions in 1991, the two states became fully fledged members of the u.n., maintaining the command in korea which as the u.n.t entity as a party from a legal viewpoint is nonsense. officially states they are trying to prevent a conflict and calling upon a declaration to end the war on the pencil and sign a peace treaty, what we need to do is analyze the role and the need for such troops. in the 50'stermined under the un security council resolution, they were passed against a historic context. the ussr at the time boycotted that meeting. basically, they have nothing to do with the u.n. so we therefore, need to consider the possibility of withdr

a spoken word poet takes a journey across london to discover why councils are losing out when councils losing out when councils regenerate their estates. with nearly 8000 homes due to be lost in the next decade, he finds out why residents and communities are fighting back. music: turn the page by the streets all over london, council housing is being ripped from the landscape, cut from the skyline. we have seen the demolition of up to 100 council estates. the stock has been decimated. at the same time, entire estates originally built to house the working class are being sold off to developers. we have a situation of what might be called hyper—gentrification, council estates have very much become a target for making profit. with council homes now increasingly scarce, families are being forced out of their communities, to the edges of our city and beyond. i can't believe this is what i have worked all my life for. to end up in a property like this cos i couldn't live here. this is the story of how some councils in london have demolished, sold and neglected their housing and how their tena

the security council that on july 25, 1950, the unified command was established in the security council first use the name united nations command on november 8, 1950. notwithstanding its name, the united nations command is not a body, nor does it come under control of the nations. furthermore, it was not established as a subsidiary of the security council and not funded into the united nations budget. there are no reporting lines between the united nations command and secretariat. madam president, the secretary-general in the upcoming high-level week of the united nations general assembly will discuss how he and the united nations system can for the support the party and how steps can be taken for peace, security and verifiable denuclearization of the korean council resolutions. it's a hope that the korean summit starting in a few hours in the plan summit between leaders of the united states and the dprk will further contribute to this process, thank you. i thank miss decarlo for her statement and i shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the united states. whethe

and essentially councils are being left to deliver council homes off their own back.demolished in favour of private ownership, many council tenants are feeling under siege and taking action. regeneration has triggered a mass grass—roots movement across the capital, from lambeth to hackney to haringey to brent, people are taking a stand and saying no, you can'tjust demolish our homes. it's a fight of will, it's a fight of words. it's a fight about who has the right to live in london. this demonstration to save the aylesbury estate in 2015 attracted hundreds of angry protestors. and scenes like this have become a regular occurrence in our capital. the anti—gentrification movement in london is big and i think it is growing at a really exponential rate because the conditions of living in london are getting totally untenable. you have tens of thousands of people essentially being ejected from the city, and so people are really coming together to fight back. there have already been over 50 protest marches in the capital this year. but resistance isn't just breaking out on t

security council meeting to be chaired by u.s. president donald trump he will be wielding the gavel on the most powerful body of the council in just a few moments from now we at this moment waiting. waiting there to live now to james bays. yeah as i'm aware outside the security council was known as the scout position where reporters can watch the comings and goings we've seen some go in just moments ago the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists this is no normal security council meeting fifteen members of the security council normally ambassadors around the table on this occasion no they'll be presidents prime ministers and foreign ministers in fact five presidents one vice president two prime ministers one deputy prime minister one states counselor and five foreign ministers security extremely tight for that reason and also because this month the presidency of the security council is held by the u.s. so in the chat with the gavel president donald trump who expect to arrive here in the next few minutes he's been having a

when the security council dopted the resolution of the united nations security council. in article 47 of the charter of he united nations. 72 years have elapsed since the adoption of the aforementioned resolution by the security council. and today the world is once again in an arms race which has led many states to feel themselves compelled to acquire a range of weapons of all kinds for their defense. more specifically has led them feeling compelled to obtain weapons of mass destruction. nuclear arsenals exacerbate tensions between states and hinders the drive for peace, but they also put in jeopardy the very continued existence of humankind. our country, the republic of equatorial guinea, does not possess nor does it intend ever to acquire, weapons of mass destruction. and we have adopted measures to guarantee the strict and full implementation of the commitments and obligations that we bear to the international community in this sphere of nonproliferation. we have ratified the treaty for the establishment of a nuclear eapon-free zone. nuclear disarmament, thought to be

security council and the national security council of the united states. and the meeting today is no exception to that unfortunately i would like to also yet once again draw your attention to the status of the so-called you and troops in korea the commander of these troops is at the same time the commander of the u.s. forces in korea and the joint to us republic of korea command from the viewpoint of international law under conditions all went in one thousand nine hundred one the two states became fully fledged members of the u.n. maintaining the command in korea which confirms that that entity as a bill the u.n. as a belligerent party to two that it is illegally from a legal view point is nonsense under current conditions when the deep barricade is officially stating that they're trying to prevent a new conflict and calling upon for a declaration to and to the war on the peninsula and sign a peace treaty what we need to do is analyze the role and the need for such troops they were determined in the fifty's under a security council resolutions eighty four

and then boast about defying a security council violating a security council resolution and what he's referring to there is the fact that iran deal the obama administration was so pleased they got that deal they actually took it to the security council it was the u.s. that put it before the security council and the deal was in was indorsed and became a security council resolution twenty two thirty one and it is still a security council resolution and i can tell you there's no way that the u.s. would get support to remove it as the security council resolution the votes are completely against them and when it came to ever morales james we heard him with some pretty strong words against the united states. goodness i've never seen president trump sitting and taking it like he did when ever morales was speaking because president trump of course is in his role as the president of the security council he gets to speak in his national capacity and we heard what he had to say but when he's presiding he has to be neutral and a lot of us were wondering whether he'd managed to stick to that what

the leadership of the council told me. the first they had about it was when she said on the in the house of commons that on the t.v. screens they were just making up anything to get past this but get back to this letter the people who are being. forced to move from hotels and so on because it's costing us a lot of money to keep people into into tendencies i talked to a survivor just three days ago who told me that some of the reasons why people can actually move when they're being forced to move. he said that repairs needed to properties residents are expected to move back into in one case the house the person was meant to move back into had no floating but they are still expected to move back into it and the other big issue is that this is made of don't forget said that those people and they could endlessly said it housing that was survivors other people will be able to whichever properties they move into they will stay on the. twenty four thousand housing rights should a secure tendencies which gave better rights than th

took that deal to the security council and indorsed it in the u.n. security council resolution resolution twenty two thirty one on so that's the reference there from the iranian foreign. but the stuff speaking to me while the truck still speaking actually with his instant reaction prism our crawl making it clear in his speech that the greens the iran nuclear deal isn't perfect but he says the aim is to try and stop iran getting a nuclear weapon and that's why from us and many of the of those allies including particularly the ardennes gosia to deal with you on the other five countries are sticking with the steel at this stage he also said that they have to deal with other things that obama is doing in the region and the best way to do got was to restart negotiations and do them in the same format as the iran nuclear deal remember the format there was six countries so-called the five plus one that's the five permanent members of the security council so that's the u.s. u.k. france germany and china. sorry of that germany is not one of them germany is th

when he security council adopted a resolution, number 1, of the security council. enshrined in article 47 in the charter of the united nations. 72 years have elapsed. upon the adoption of the aforementioned resolution by the security council, and today the world is once again brought up in an arms race, which has led many states to feel themselves compelled, to acquire a range of weapons of all kinds, for that to sense. specifically leaving them feel -- feeling compelled to obtain weapons of mass discretion. -- destruction. nuclear arsenals hinder a drive for peace, and they also put in jeopardy, the very continued existence of humankind. the republic of equatorial guinea, does not possess, nor does it intend ever to acquire weapons of mass destruction. and we have adopted measures, to guarantee the strict and full implementation of the commitment and obligations, that we have with the international community. for nonproliferation. we have ratified the treaty for the establishment of nuclear weapon free zones in our continent. the permission of nuclear disarmament,

i was appointed by the reentry council, representing the reentry council. this has been a great opportunity for me learning about the criminal justice system regarding changes needed inside the jails. i've been going inside county jail number two for approximately five years, supporting the women that are existing soon, up to 45 days of supporting them and give them resources and a place to come when they exit. being on the reentry council has been a great opportunity for me to learn about the criminal justice system regarding changes needed inside the jails, women's reentry services, for them having somewhere to go, and the -- to change the release hours, so most -- especially the women that release at midnight, they don't have anywhere to go. i know at glide, we are a reservation station, but we do close at 9:00, and we need for the women couto have somewhere go when exiting jail at night. i remember when i was being released at night, and i'd have a few dollars in my pocket, and nowhere to go, and being involved with drugs, i'd go and buy drugs and use '

at the united nations security council meeting. hello and welcome i'm touchy my great to have your company as you mentioned u.s. president dollar trump is about to chair the u.n. security council in new york people have started gathering there waiting for him to come in and start his remarks and be of course go there live as soon as he starts speaking you're looking at pictures coming from the u.n. security council chamber sitting with me in the same. new deal is nicole rendered she's from the german council on foreign relations welcome to you was sitting here yesterday listening to donald trump's remarks at the united nations general assembly what are you expecting him to say today where you will repeat most of what he said yesterday so there will be a heavy emphasis on america first so you will outline again his foreign policy agenda and most likely you will focus on iran and tough sanctions he's expecting not only from the u.s. to be carried out but also from friends and partners so he will call for support of u.s. policy toward

security council she's already announced the security council will hold a meeting in syria's glebe region on a fidei now she is talking about me and my legs incident a serious issue you combine that with the two reporters yesterday that just for covering the issues in burma they are now being they were sentenced to seven years in prison so we will get even more loud about that as well for being imprisoned for telling the truth basically the us report does mirror the u.n. report quite a bit. and both are horrible and both have cases that are that will turn your stomach and so for that reason i think you will see not just the united states but then tire security council continue to really try and shed light on burma and for the government and the military to acknowledge that this is a terrible situation that until they acknowledge happened can't be fixed so when it comes to your question on sanctions the u.s. you know obviously the report. to come out first and then we'll see what actions happen after the fact in terms of the security council that was a topic that came up at breakfast that

security council where the u.s. need to face significant pushback from allies. and the smoke arraigning who helped. get this deal together she's trying to hold a deal together because she did at. washington's end.

actually took the deal to the security council and it was indorsed in a security council resolution so he's making the point that that is actually binding international law and yet president trump was in the security council saying very boldly why he felt that deal was a horrible one sided deal now the speech by president trump was supposed to all be about nonproliferation so about nuclear biological and chemical weapons things like iran and north korea but president trump veered off topic with this quite stunning claim. regrettably we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight teen election coming up in november against my administration they do not want me or us to win because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade and we are winning on trade we are winning at every level well i'm not sure whether the chinese knew that was coming clearly all the talk with regard to the us elections have been about twenty sixteen presidential election and about russian hacking there something that's been confirmed by all the u.s. intelligence agen

to serve as a forum for conversation and conciliation gets you in into a meeting of the security council and what you'll often see is not throw bost well mannered debate but rather accusations and allegations by diplomats just postering for the cameras or is discourse at the un really as dysfunctional as it appears well to discuss that i'm now joined by medicine a flight check the president of the united nations general assembly for this seventy second session mr president it's so good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for having me and good morning from new york now your term is about to answer within the next couple of days and about a year ago when you just assumed your duties you said in an interview that one of your ambitions for this tenure is going to be overcoming narrow national interest do you think you have succeeded in that. well i feel very strongly about united nations and about the general assembly being the most representative platform and the fact is that we have one hundred ninety three member states they all come here we do their interests with

i am the reentry council planner and analyst that oversees the facilitation of the reentry council. i just wanted to bring a correction for the record because i see residency required, residency waiver required. >> supervisor safai: yeah, that's a mistake. >> okay. >> supervisor safai: okay. so you can move past that. >> okay. and also just to say presently, we have two reentry subcommittee, which is the policy subcommittee that will be meeting actually today. it meets bimonthly, the third wednesday at 2:30, and then, we have the direct services subcommittee. i understand we have six applicants here and four seats. even though those that are not chosen can join the committees as an alternative. >> supervisor safai: thank you. next speaker. >> my name is karen shane. i am the prior reentry policy planner for san francisco adult probation and served the reentry council for about 3.5 years. i wanted to speak on behalf of three people who have come before you today. the first is jose bernal. jose -- well, i've known all of these people for pretty much the entire time that i -- either i

so good afternoon, council members. once began my name is maria su, the director of the department of children, youth and their families. the my honor to be here today to share with you what we have done over the past year in our department. and it sounds like today the theme is around communication coordination and collaboration. so i do want to acknowledge that and to say that i take the conversation that just happened to heart and definitely will be contacting my colleague phil ginsberg and perhaps even the school district to come together to figure out how to better work together. so i already thank you for your feedback when i was sitting here earlier. so just very quickly i want to share with you who we are. we were established -- i'm sorry -- let's see -- so we are the department that works with other city departments to serve children, youth and families from birth to age 24, transitional age youth in our city. we are the stewards of the children and youth fund. it is a special fund that was created through prop

security council the eight thousand three hundred and sixty second meeting of the security council is called to order his administration chose the subject of the discussion nuclear chemical and biological weapons but veered well away from that with this stunning claim regrettably we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight teen election coming up in november. against my administration they do not want me or us to win because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade china strongly denied that and on the actual subject of the meeting it sided with three of the other security council permanent members against the us in support of the twenty fifty nuclear deal that president trump pulled out overly this year china russia france and the u.k. pledged to keep the deal with iran alive for many years the skin and nature of iran's nuclear program raise serious international concerns the j.c. way was an important step forward in addressing these it remains the best means of preventing iran developing a nuclear weapon and we are committed to

security council rotation may says. not to respect the resolution by the same council. twenty two thirty one is illusion. which was what thirty. four even by the us themselves and other members of all fifteen members as well who. not only america wants this resolution should not respect it i disagree with it but they also say that we are going to punish anybody who is not so who is under anybody who respects just reset the street solution on this uprising so. we should thank united nations because the council twice once for. a very good position that the united nations security council took relation to the terrorist attack and i was in iran. the council. took a very good position. and we will come to that statement a second. as we have as a gathering today's session that all members of the council is with the exception of america supported just a short. once again his security council being supported iran. your superior and those who respect him. the long saturday session of the secular council was very interesting. and you saw that. most leaders of the countries decisi

the citizens council. one of the things i think that historians struggle with so much is making sure that we're not using the past tense to liberally. what i mean by that is it is very easy to talk about the past is something other than what we are living right now, and i want to especially in this space or white supremacy has prevailed for so long, to just be conscious that the space we occupy today, not just in mississippi but across our country, has included some of the worst atrocities to freedom than most countries i think could claim. when i started this project in graduate school, i had a lot of folks who asked me why would you study the white guys? why would you not study the activists who were so brave and achieved so much? what i'm seeing now in 2018 is that nobody is asking that question anymore, and i don't need to elaborate on that. i am very disappointed that my book is relevant in 2018. and i think as we sort of move past the one year commemoration of what happened in charlottesville last au

so they'll be no resolution by the security council no statement by the security council will be blocked by russia i think the aim of this was two things to try and brief the rest of the international community and to call out russia in public james bays thank you very much indeed for that update and that's it for us remember that one more news for you shortly thanks for watching by . my name is margaret and i enjoy as much of my jewel finds as beauties brands put up points me he doesn't even need to come to fox news they just we just seemed glad. i am mentioning i've only done my all of my. mind nigeria on al jazeera. in the final cut of a six part series filmed of the five year olds. the people who can still fight for their land. the village chief is imprisonment. and forced underground the filmmaker has become part of the saga. crackdown the concluding pod of one kind of china's democracy experiment on al-jazeera. taiwan. a sovereign island state or a renegade province of china that must soon return to mainland control. as the bottle for taiwanese hearts and minds intensifies. people

the first is the independent council statute. i us view morrison only about the council statute and realize you may have a different view on that. but if it's only about the council statute and that doesn't exist anymore, that's why justice kagan felt comfortable commenting. on special councils, i have said what i repeated many times here. on investigation and indictment of a sitting president, number one, i have never taken a position on it. number two, it's important to underscore the justice department for 45 years this is the justice department, not me, the justice department for 45 years has taken the position and written opinions that a sitting president may not be indicted during office, a deferral. and the head of president clinton's office wrote a long opinion on that. he's now president obama appointed district judge in d.c. and an kplebt district judge. i'm not saying i agree or disagree with that. i'm saying that's the consistent justice department view for 45 years. so before a case like this would come before the co

security council. this is a big moment for him. a lot of focus is on that. it is clear talking to a variety of white house officials that his focus is on judge kavanaugh. it was his idea to have the press conference this evening. he wants to set the tone going into the hearing. it is an open question if that is a good idea or not. some key senate republicans are very uncertain about this. that is what is on the president's mind as he prepares to chair this meeting of the u.n. security council. >> lisa murkowski saying she was victimized at some point and it is important to hear her out. this is a very significant day for the president on the world stage. our global affairs correspondent is with us. you live and breathe this stuff. what do you think we will hear from the president as he kicks off the meeting on nuclear nonproliferation? >> reporter: this was supposed to be a meeting just on iran. then his advisers figured because of u.n. rules that if it was just about iran as a topic then iranian presi

hope we have succeeded at least partly well judging from the pretty adji discussions at the security council during which member states accuse one another of the most horrendous crimes like for example the use of chemical weapons one would think that overcoming narrow national interest is simply an impossible task are you trying to say that within the un corridors when nobody's watching those diplomats are actually nicer and more civil to one another than they appear to be on cameras have to say that we never had a nasty discussion in the general assembly hall and again this is a vision we have to of diplomacy that. those are here to defend national interests and at the same time they should respect the other countries' interests and i will give you one example agreement on the text of global compact on safe orderly and regular migration you know how sensitive the issue of migration is and yet the one hundred ninety two member states were able to agree on this text because they understood that this is a common the challenge come on phil phenomenon and we have to act. together to be able to f

play a very important role nowadays so they also demand that the composition of the security council reflects the realities of the twenty first century well our mr president as i'm sure you perhaps know we russians are very risk averse and nation and that there's a saying here in russia that better is the enemy of the good apparently you disagree with that statement when it comes to the composition of the u.n. security council right it's not about what i think it's about what member states think and say and there are over. documents in which member states cole for a more representative security council that will also be present realities of today and this is an official position of the united nations but when this process will be accomplished and how this is entirely in the hands of the member states i'm here to provide the platform i ask at the beginning of the session for this process to be. due to be open transparent credible and i ask for a meaningful outcome and but the outcome is fully in the hands of the numbers well you know there is there and now the russians saying suggesti

security council with the u.s. is only national security council he was joking but does he have a point there does the u.s. treat the u.n. security council like its own. of course it does i mean i think it's actually been quite soft and nice and polite in ironical and joking and sarcastic he could be even more forthright i mean whenever the united nations doesn't go along with the united states the u.s. uses nato to carry out wars of aggression like it did in yugoslavia when the security council wouldn't go along or it created a coalition of the willing to invade and destroy iraq in two thousand and three it only supports the united nations when the united nations signs off and americans american wars of aggression when the u.n. says independently no we don't want that the united states is a fierce critic of the other parties in the united nations and it just goes its own way anyway the u.n. is only useful to the us if it's a fig leaf for us aggression good to speak to appreciate you coming on brownback if and what
