you have two statements now from the council on myanmar. the generals have defied those statements and continued with the slaughter. as the credibility of the security council now at stake? ambassador thomas-greenfield: i do not think our credibility is now at stake. i think what has to happen is we have to redouble our efforts. there is a meeting later today on burma, where we will be looking at what other things that we might do, but let me just say, what the military is doing in burma to the people of burma, the violence, the attacks, the killing of children, they are appalling. and they are unacceptable. so we cannot just step back and allow this to happen. we have to keep pushing forward. you may know that the u.s. did issue from the u.s. trade representative office, it halted all trade with burma until the military steps back, and we are looking at other measures we might take in addition to the ones we have already taken. >> thank you, ambassador. cbs news. the big picture question is, what did you learn during this month in terms of

security council for a 4th time so we've we've essentially been on the security council every 20 years since we joined the u.n. and we see it as a really important part of our foreign policy it's an opportunity for ireland to be a global voice for the things that we're passionate about international law multi-lateralism human rights the link between development and conflict peacekeeping so there are many areas where. irish values and an irish perspective of the world i hope can contribute positively to the often very partisan and difficult debate that we get on the security council in terms of the 30 or so files that the security council is dealing with and i hope that ireland as a as a non-threatening relatively small country but a country that has big opinions will able to will be able to to facilitate and to support more consensus building within the security council thus particularly the last number of years has been terribly divided and at times very ineffective in terms of preventing conflict one of the most pressing issues right now in international diplomacy is iran's nuclear p

march it to brief the security council members on. their view of the developments taking place since the fabry 1st coup in me and my. we've been listening to an activist and scholar from myanmar as well as richard horsley from the international crisis group the lady speaking right now is more she's a representative from. foreign ministry in exile a lot has been said so i was checking in with our diplomatic had sir james bays who has been following this story james joins us now live from the united nations been hearing there a comprehensive picture of perspective from voices for myanmar itself which is quite crucial for the security council given the difficulty that outsiders have had in getting into the country to get the story what struck you from what we've been listening to in the last few minutes. well i think i should make it clear 1st what we're listening to because this isn't a meeting of the u.n. security council they couldn't agree to have a meeting like this in the u.n. security council so this is an unofficial meeting somet

i want to thank the atlantic council and chicago council for putting this on and doing me the honor of being able to participate. i would start by agreeing with what ivo and of the report outlines about nuclear guarantees both to our direct security interest in the alliance collectively with our allies and also to nonproliferation. u.s. security guarantees, if you could peel back the cloak and see the inner decision-making and questions, my guess would be that u.s. security guarantees have played as important a role in turning off existing nuclear weapons programs, than institutions like the mpt. we have had enormous success, coupled with u.s. alliance guarantees to keep their from being a great deal more proliferation. from my own perspective, the nuclear aspect is critical. it is not the entirety of our deterrence. what we offer allies and partners has many components, but nuclear is one of them. it has always been a critical piece. you can see the alliance has been, our alliances in general, i do not want this to be a eurocentric discussion, in the indo pacific and europe, have face

so the town council cannot remove a council member. it's up to the public to do a recall which is happening right now there are hands are found. there's only certain things that were allowed to do. there were no there was no proof and no charges filed with the 2017. you know, so we did all we could. i know that's hard for people to understand that government is different from legal in criminal law. >> and then there was another message that was brought to the council's attention it from february of 2020 where the town manager received an e-mail from a member of the public regarding a statement that the mayor had been accused of rape. so there was another allegation that came out in 2020. what happened after that. >> that's what i was referring to. and we got the second one, which was not from an alleged victim. it was from a member of the community. initially it looked like. it looked like it locally based because we were in a heated election. however, even though we weren't sure that we sent that that, you know, the town attorney in t

well what this is is not a security council meeting in a formal sense the security council has met 3 times with regard to me on martin put out 3 statements but the military has continued its killing despite those statements the security council hasn't though had an open meeting where we could see everything and where they could call people to speak to them particularly those who could give some testimony of what's actually happening on the ground that's because under the rules of the security council if there's a closed meeting then it's only people in the u.n. system who are allowed to address the meeting and so because some countries notably china and russia don't want to know been meeting the u.k. have called an informal meeting of the security council what's known as an aria meeting to get all of this into the open so you heard the u.k. ambassador she called the meeting backed by the other european nations on security council and also the u.s. and we heard a short time ago from linda thomas greenfield who is the u.s. ambassador to the united nations saying that the u.s. stands st

the security council has finally broken its silence on the situation in t. gray the military operation there is going been going on for almost 6 months and in that time the security council hasn't managed to agree the words of a statement they have finally done so brokered by the arash ambassador geraldine byrne nascent she said that she felt that they'd heard the alarm bells about human rights violations and abuses taking place in t. gray they've issued a statement which talks about that it talks about deep concern about allegations of human rights violations and abuses including reports of sexual violence against women and girls we've seen widespread reports of that it was mentioned in a security council meeting about women in conflict zones we could go you've seen lots of media reports including on al-jazeera the other factor the security council highlights is the humanitarian situation where it says it wants scaled up humanitarian response unfettered humanitarian access this follows i think strong comments that came from the un's humanitarian chief mark

i'll read off to share with the council bolled. it's www.tipff.org there are multiple ways the page can be translated. there are multiple ways you can take the survey online, download flyers, access the phone-based survey as well. i also wanted to mention this is such a strategic part of the strategic planning process from day one to engage with community members in the deaf and disability community as well as non-profit and aging cultural workers and veterans and transition-aged youth have been guiding in project. we currently have a team of 14 community advisors who are serving on our coalition to help us with the accountability piece that we are reaching a cross-section of people with disabilities and they are facilitating art-focused groups. so i also encourage you to visit the website to learn more. there is one image of one of our community advisors that is featured here on this slide by the name of asim brooks who is a community rep shelter tech. he has experienced homeless and his image is an african-american man with a yel

called all the members of the security council to a meeting but it wasn't a security council meeting that's because russia and china opposed in open security council meeting of this sort and they made it quite clear when they spoke that they oppose it so if they won't even agree to an open meeting the idea of agreeing to sanctions i think is deeply unlikely our diplomatic as the james spader's live in new york at the u.n. james thanks. let's return now to our coverage of the derek trial former police officer accused accused of murdering george floyd by kneeling on his neck for more than 9 minutes a quarter of the past few hours has been hearing from dr lindsay thomas a forensic pathologist also an expert on areas where medicine and law overlap the court currently in recess the taking the morning break alan fisher is outside the courthouse in minneapolis. up to speed with what's been happening so far on this day 10 of the of this trial. important testimony is again the prosecution go through expert witnesses as you see lindsay an expert in forensic medicine she was saying that the rea

after speaking with council members. it was decided that a special meeting should be called to demand. that mere 4 resign. that meeting is tonight. obviously. i've had multiple conversations with council members over the last week and clearly as i have stated in their comments to the press and friends and members of the community there united, you know, in their view that the mayor should resign. i spent a great amount of time consulting with the town attorney regularly on a range of complex legal issues around the options available to counsel to remove the mayor from office. they're also leader legal considerations regarding the victims and legal considerations around the mayor and council member of we have issued a public statement on what the town did regarding the response that evening. i was listening to that's can mcnabb is the town manager. >> and winds are setting the stage for this special meeting that was called for tonight to discuss the situation surrounding the mayor there. dominic foppoli yeah. and just a f

the great country of india should be represented in the security council. the authority and potential of the council would also be enhanced by incorporating, on a permanent basis of a, indonesia, canada, poland, brazil, mexico and egypt into this body, even if initially they do not possess the veto. the security council will require better support, more effective and more numerous peacekeeping forces. under certain circumstances, it will be desirable to put certain national armed forces at the disposal of the security council, making them subordinate to the united nations military command. this proposal, which i accept has already been made that a global observational system be established force parting emergencies. the united nations secretary general should be authorized to put it into action, even before a conflict becomes violent. the coronation of un organizations with regional structures would only enhanced its capacity to settle disputes in the world of course, the united nations contemporary role and first and foremost, and expanded and strengthened

is the credibility of the security council at stake. i don't think our credibility is at stake i think what has to happen is we have to redouble our efforts what the military is doing in burma to the people to the people of burma the violence the attacks the killings of children they are appalling and and they are unacceptable so we can't just. step back and allow this to happen we have to keep pushing forward in the close in the council was briefed by the un special envoy christine trauner bergen she still wants to travel to me and martha speak to the generals she said i will remain open to dialogue and continue to signal this but if we wait only for when they are ready to talk the ground situation will only worsen a bloodbath is imminent this council must consider potentially significant action but the chinese ambassador said what he called one sided action or calling for sanctions would only aggravate tensions a similar position was relayed by russia and so for now any tougher action by the security council seems highly unlikely. sev
