we will continue to work with our partners in this council, in the human rights council, and most importantly, in the region , to deliver a safe and stable afghanistan for all its people. it is crucial the international community can coordinate in the coming days and weeks to ensure we speak with a single message in our engagement with afghanistan. the u.k. will use its presidency of the g-7 and membership in this council to help address the humanitarian plight the afghan people now face. thank you, mr. president. president tirumurti: i thank the representative of the united kingdom for his statement. i now give the floor to the representative of kenya. you have the floor, please. >> good morning. mr. president, i have the honor to make the statement on behalf of the a3 plus one -- namely, kenya, tunisia, st. vincent, the grenadines, and niger. i thank secretary-general for his statement. the efforts deployed by the u.n. in the search for a durable solution to the afghan crisis, which has been developing in warring ways the past few days. mr. president, this meeting comes on the heels of a si

members some council members were hoping for. the resolution itself has 3 main areas that calls for safe passage in and out of the country. for afghan civilians, as well as foreign nationals, it talks about unimpeded humanitarian access, which is going to be needed more than ever after the u. s. completed withdraw and it talks about the fact that afghan was and cannot become a safe haven for terrorists. and that is the one point that everyone really agreed on, including the russians and the chinese who did abstain. the russians, however, made clear that they wanted other adjustments to the text. as did china, the russian ambassador talked about the need for other terrorist groups to be mentioned as well. they said, while there's focus on the taliban, the attack that happened at the airport was carried out by ice. ok, no mention of them are other groups operating within afghanistan and in a dig out the united states. he said that perhaps this is a way to shift the blame away from the united states after 20 years of occupation and

so always difficult to get agreement from the security council here. but the fact that they did come out with a statement on the eve of the us or on the verge of the u. s. withdrawal was certainly somewhat of an accomplishment that can't be denied. christians will be there joining us live from the united nations. we're also hearing on the wires just one line at the moment. of course we will update you is get more on this of the taliban is now declaring independence will get more context around that statement for you as we go. gave ellison though, is live in washington d. c. gave it is a historic moment for the us, but listening to the guests talking about how this moment in foreign policy and these past 20 years will be characterized for the us said let's start there. yeah, that's right. it's a historic moment, but also a somber moment. summer moment for all of the u. s. service members that have died and afghans in the last 20 years and the thousands of innocent civilians including children, afghan children who have died or last 20 years as well. so l

eric farnsworth is vice president for the council of the americas. he says western powers need to do more than impose sanctions to ensure free and fair elections in nicaragua. i'm not sure what kind of an election you could even call it other than just the coronation of a president, who frankly has now created conditions where he can't lose it will be a vote that will be taken, but it won't be an actual election. i thank you for the elections were held in a free and fair way. there's a great chance that he would lose because the nicaragua, people are frankly sick and tired of his role is a precious protesters have been thrown in jail and in some cases killed and the president of the show no real desire to compromise or to negotiate. so i think there's also another element here too, and that is life rosario maria, who is the vice president of nicaragua and run in and of course on the same ticket . and there is a lot of speculation that she is really for one string fear and really wants to make sure that in fact he wins because it's also her ticket to

security council members don't take action. the council did convene a special session on friday to address the escalating violence christian salumi reports on that now from new york thing. the country is at a dangerous turning point. the un special representative for afghanistan called on the security council to act and act quickly. first, by demanding an end to taliban attacks against cities to attack urban areas, is to knowingly inflict enormous harm and cause massive civilian casualties. nonetheless, the threatening of large urban areas appears to be a strategic decision by the taliban, who have accepted the likely carnage that will ensue. russia said the emphasis should be on restarting stalled political talks between the afghan government and the taliban. achieved the still william louis machine guns. it is clear that there is no military solution to the afghans situation, but in the current situation, given the absence of progress on the negotiation track, the prospects of afghanistan slipping into full scale and protract

ah, the united nations security council has met to discuss the escalating violence in afghanistan as the taliban continue there offensive and sees territory. the head of the un assistance mission in afghanistan warned members to take urgent action and prevent the country from descending into a catastrophe. a piano stand is now at a dangerous turning point. a head like either a genuine piece, negotiation or a tragically intertwined set of crises and increasingly brutal conflict. combined with an acute humanitarian situation and multiplying human rights abuses. i do believe that the security council and the broader international community can help prevent the most dire scenarios. but it will require acting in unity and acting quickly. the taliban made major gains on friday. pictures released by the arm grew, show its fighters near the airport in san jose to they captured that southern city . it is the 1st provincial capital to 4. in the months long taliban offensive. there's also been more fighting in another southern city. lush got a got which the taller bond is trying to capture. on
