what's not clear is the dynamics around the council table of the rest of the 15 council members. it's worth explaining to you for procedural folks. i mean, you need to get 9 votes in favor if it's put a procedural vote, there's no beat involved. and so i think what is likely now is all the council is going to a job briefly to have some close to meetings, all that procedural conflict to the security council to decide whether the council should discuss this issue. just checking in that direction because people are coming in that direction. i can't see anything. i didn't see the russian above the head into the meeting a little earlier on. everyone is in the meeting, but not at this stage. clear how things will proceed. always with the security council when they gather, that's the thought of the meeting that bell i'm hearing about me when, when, when, when, when, when they gather together, it's a little bit fluid and a lot of decisions are made at the very last minute. but if it's a meeting, it's not going ahead. and james is going ahead, as he said, then, what can we expect to come

so as long as the council comments are obtained. however, the council may comment. the agency can accept that can look at those comments consider those comments, but then they can go forward and do what they want to do. so as long as the agency has complied with the requirements stated in the regs and the in the code of federal regulations 36 cfr part 800. obtain the comments taken into account the effect of their undertaking they can ultimately do what they want to do. it's when agencies don't initiate that process that they will run into trouble and they are subject to citizen lawsuit. well, let's go back to 1966 why that year was their historic preservation act passed? yeah. it actually was an evolution if you if i might just digress were a little bit and go back and and look at the federal government's involvement with historic preservation, which really starts with the antiquities act in 1906 that act which is still which some of it has been replaced by other statutes, but it is still good law to establish historic monuments and that's where we recently have ac

in view of the request made by the security council, i intend to put the provisional council to a vote. accordingly, i should put it to the vote now. with those in favor of the provisional -- the adoption of the provisional agenda please raise their hand. those against? 10 votes in favor. to vote against. the provisional agenda has been adopted. i want the representative of belarus with ukraine to participate in this meeting. is this all decided? item two of the agenda. we are calling the security council -- to encourage all speakers and members of the council to deliver the statements in five minutes or less. we also encourage members to be -- and encourage issues. limit remarks to seven to 10 minutes. everyone is encouraged to wear a mask at all times including while they are delivering remarks. i now give the floors to --. >> madam president, the united nations is following ongoing of the peace and departure -- the united states, members of the north atlantic treaty association, and the organization for the security and cooperation in europe. we hope and outcome of these talks will

it remains the same now in the council. there are several manipulatives to the user diplomat efforts, concrete steps -- mechanisms. paving the ground towards efforts to fix solutions. such effort should be made in good faith and not conducted in climate of -- [inaudible] and meetings last week in paris with the right step and we hope that this process will continue. madam president, we all should bear in mind that the crisis in and around ukraine has a direct impact on the whole europe. the instrument sensation of -- targeted further attacks and political interference here and there for political gains, and a growing -- genocide denial of war crimes in war criminals, all these acts, all these are acts that seek destabilization, create tension and should be treated as a threat to the security because they are. this is why -- importance of investing prevention, and help this meeting will be part of such genuine efforts, and i think you. >> i think the representative of albania, and to give the floor to representative of the u

and come quickly to the council.onathan: ambassador, on that way, you talk about the security council, where russia has powers in the same way the united states does in china does. what can the united states doing the potential offender gives reason for this counsel to meet, has veto power over what the security council can do in response? amb. thomas-greenfield: in 2014 when the russians invaded crimea, we brought a resolution before the council and we got 13 votes, one ascension and a russian veto. russia was isolated and they saw and felt isolation, and that would be the purpose of coming before the council. of course they will veto any resolution that involves them, they will be totally isolated and they will be on the defensive. jonathan: so the united nations passes a resolution, is there anything more the united nations, and particularly the security council, can do if/when the russians roll over that border? amb. thomas-greenfield: we could expose what they do when they roll over the border. they use the disi

i think that security council resolution school council meetings over now what we can go over the hood, abdul hamid joins us now live from the ukrainian capital kia. and just to put this into perspective, a lot of you know, hot speech is going on at the un security council, but yet the diplomacy continues. take us through what we expect. well, the diplomacy definitely continues in this week. there's actually a flurry of a foreign leaders coming here to care. today. we had the foreign ministers of greece and sweden tomorrow, for the prime minister of the u. k. boris johnson will be here and, and also the prime minister of poland be here. and then on thursday, we have turkish president, elder one also coming here, he's trying to find a way to me. jade actually between a russia and ukraine. so certainly a lot of ongoing diplomacy. also, everybody looking towards that meeting in berlin in 2 weeks of the normandy format, which includes france de, u. k, ukraine and russia. there was one last week, but there were at that quite a low level of representation. so we have to see if there's going

meetings and who's going to brief the security council. having said all that, russia may try and stop this meeting when it starts in about an hour's time. but now from now, we're gonna see the ambassadors that all come in down. this corridor into the security council into the chamber there were hearing that russia might try and force a procedural vote, say to the other members of the council. this isn't an issue of international peace and security. nothing is actually happened here. and if they do, then all of the council members will get to vote whether to have the meeting or not . and they're in a procedural though, there are no veto. so russia can't use its veto. but the u. s. and its european allies have got to get 9 out of the total of 15 votes in favor. so i think we're going to see some high drama, potentially before the but the meeting even takes place cedrin. all right, so if the meeting goes ahead, what we expected, come out of it. how can the security council help the situation? well, we've seen this movie before, back in 2014.

he has been monitoring this meeting of the un security council to day. it's going to see you all over the us. we know called this meeting of the un security council has on anything come out of the meeting so far a brand. we have certainly seen one of the sharpest clashes the security council has seen in years. the russian ambassador and benz via a saying the u. s. is whipping up his tyria and that it had brought quote, unquote, pure nazis to power. and there were some other bizarre hitler comparisons made there. today. the u. s. ambassador thomas greenfield said russia wants to fabricate a pretext for an attack without any evidence at all. so it's really a controversial debate at the un security council and a fight for the public opinion. either we have to remind our audience that ukraine is not a member of the security council, but it is taking part in this meeting to day. could this be a chance then for direct diplomacy between russia and ukraine and shore could be brand, but the tensions are so high that we're rather seeing sharp attacks than diplomac

but the figures don't include reports to councils or housing providers.e seeing more people asking for help. we are a national charity that hear from victims every day. and every day our figures, as in website traffic, increases. people that work in police forces, council workers, housing officers, landlords — everybody is saying that it continues to increase. councils and housing providers deal with some anti—social behaviour, but primary responsibility has always fallen to the police. the victims commissioner believes they don't give it a high enough priority. they regard it as a kind of sub—crime, "a bit. of bother," something - where theyjust go and comfort the person... if it's theft or burglary, . they know where they are and what they're doing. but if it's something i that could be a crime, they don't take iti seriously enough. and they truly need to do. andy prophet helps coordinate the national police response to anti—social behaviour. anti—social behaviour is not a low—level crime. it can cover a huge range of issues. and we are incredibly focus

that the security council u. s. sam baset are in contrast. thomas greenfield said russia wants to fabricate a, provide text for an attack, recognition the evidence at all. so it really was a controversial debate, a fight for the public opinion really. and that was the plan of the united states to put that topic. ukraine on the world stage rayleigh and ukraine isn't a member of the security council, but it did take part in the meeting. what are the chances that we could see direct diplomacy between russia and ukraine? well today we, we saw in particular high attentions and sharp attacks rather than diplomacy. but of course, on the other hand, all conflict parties are involved were involved in that meeting. and it's the 1st time also that the security council got together on the topic of russian true built up at the ukranian border. and so the plan of the u. s. was to put that topic on the world stage. and it was also clear from the start that there were no hopes, really of any formal action resulting out of that meeting. of course, russia has

student advisory council has a small budget. that budget will be moved to a larger office. >> i had another question around staffing and how that's seen in this now -- is there a different supervision instruction for staff? >> i don't think that all of the details have been worked out. i don't believe -- i think there lab connection with the presidential of the board. the staff report would remain. that staff report would be part of the boards operate me. the student delegates will be part of those conversations as well. >> commissioner boggess: we're defining input with regard what hiring mean. >> with respect to the hiring, we probably would follow the same hiring. students are on other hiring panel an the high school level. >> in if this resolution passes, the -- i will be doing the hiring along -- if threat -- >> commissioner boggess: my last question, are there any legal to shift to the structure. how is there no concerns like that? >> president lopez: do you mean in terms of move mowing the student -- >> commissioner bogge

7 is the advisory council report presented by the advisory council president, diane lawrence. >> good morning, and happy new year, commissioners and executive director dearman. the advisory council met in december and i wanted to bring you up to date on what occurred. dr. eleanor lori announced her retirement from the council after over 10 years of service as both a member and an officer. she was recognized by her peer -- fellow council members as innovative provided leadership and guidance with an inspiration. there was lucidity in her comments and great wisdom. she notified not only the director and myself, but also supervisor stefani. she has served as a member of the dignity oversight and advisory council since the beginning and so we will be working to fill that seat. we can't really replace her. we have a potential candidate to complete the remainder of her term and then to apply for a term themselves. i'll go into that in a minute. and we're directing the potential candidate to the supervisor's office to complete the process. our members continue to work -- reach out to the sup

so these aren't things are also escalating in the un security council hurts. listen in the to what's being said, there now didn't hear remove any mention or any reference to the mint agreements or $20.00 to 0 dollars. could you cancel resolution? and that is very indicative incidentally. so this is the context that we need to use. i'm talking that ukranian christ as the us is looking at this from a completely different angle. and ultimately, madam president, i would like to apologize to the members of the council. and i, 11122, i in to change the situation like that really, really just before our presidency of a v as good cancel have to meet with a general as i'm going to have to leave. and to really so i can't change this situation because of the s cheese timetable. sounds good afternoon, i do apologize. thank you. i thank the representative of the russian federation. i res. now it than to again remind all speakers to limit their statement to no more than 5 minutes in order to enable the council to carry out this work expeditiously . i now give the floor to t

security council can't speak because the russian detail. so it is, it's been in fact very difficult even for the security house to authorize cross borders, monitoring assistance for turkey into the parts of syria. still held by the armed opposition in russia, very reluctantly goes along and has gradually been reducing the entrances to serial number one. um, so, but to go beyond that, to, to spring in the trash can report to condemn the atrocities and syria. russia absolutely precludes that. and that's a real weakness of the structure, the security council, you're the 5 permanent members, the u. s. a. china, russia, france, and britain. each of them has a veto. each can prevent a resolution from going forward. they're not supposed to use us in this kind of narrow something should way they're not supposed to, didn't offend the perpetrators of mass atrocities. but that's exactly what russia and china been doing in the case of syria and elsewhere, i should say. like, you know, more than 2500 miles away from where we are right now in syria. the

this is what she said to the security council. the situation we're facing in europe, it's urgent and dangerous. and the stakes for. busy ukraine and for every un member state could not be higher rushes action strike at the very. busy heart of the un charter. in addition to military activity, we've also seen a dramatic spike in cyber attacks on ukraine in recent weeks. russian military and intelligence services are spreading disinformation through state on media and proxy sites. and they are attempting without any factual basis to paint ukraine and western countries as the aggressors to fabricate a pretext for attack. and james, you know, listening some of the speeches from others, china, india, gabon. is it fair to say that there seems to be a considerable degree of concern about people sliding into war? people whipping up too much concern that actually does produce an escalation so i mean you have 15 members on the un security council and it's pretty clear what some of them think on this. but i think this was aimed at it as an ef

f, as it's going to do, then there will be more security council meetings, but no security council action, i think is likely. and that's for the simple reason that russia is a permanent member of the un security council. it has a veto, so it can block any action. also worth noting to 2 things. one, russia takes over the presidency of the security council from tuesday that it's the president for all of february. and then the other thing, which i think is worth noting, you heard the chinese ambassador speaking is that of course, the beijing winter olympics start later this week. that may seem a completely different subject. but it's not because i, there are many observers that believe that with vladimir putin believe to be going to the start to the opening ceremony of those olympics. there's no way they'll be any military action this week. and with those olympics being the centerpiece of beijing's events for the year, the, the big event, they care so much about many believe that russia would not launch any military action while as an picks are taking place. that takes us to february the 20t

and when it comes to concrete outcomes, they have a veto in the un security council. as one of the 5 permanent members, members in that council, so there's unlikely to be a concrete outcome from the for the, for the kremlin there. ok, melinda, coming to you. now, here in germany, leaders from the biggest governing party, the social democrats, they're going to be meeting over how to deal with russia. can you tell us why germany is so reluctant to fend defensive weapons to ukraine? germans often attribute aversion to participating in any kind of military action to world war 2, to this country's responsibility for a war of aggression that caused unfathomable suffering all across europe, including in russia and ukraine. and especially for the social democrats, germany's cold war experience, reinforced that stats in the eyes of many s p d members. that conflict was overcome, not by deterrence, but by diplomacy. not because nato station purging missiles on the border to communist eastern europe. but because s p d chancellor really brunt introduced us to politic and cultivat

the security council also should be looking at what's happened in recent days. and particularly in recent hours in who the hell territory in yemen are diplomatic editor, james based their live at the you and in new york. james, many thanks. 11 iraqi soldiers have been killed in an attack by ice or fighters. it happened at night and an army barracks in the out a seam district, north of baghdad. it's one of the worst assaults on the iraqi military in recent months. there's also been an eyesore attack in neighboring syria. it's fighters stormed the detention center in africa. and briefly fried some of its fighters, kurdish forces who control the area, say a car bomb struck the prison gates as detainees began to riot security forces killed at least 40 gunman around 90. i sold fighters who escaped, recaptured by kurdish forces, tongue and in new zealand. have come out in big numbers to send aid supplies home following saturdays, volcanic eruption, and soon army more. government aid is also arriving in tanya from new zealand and australia now as here has weighed hey r

in advance of the nato-russia council.se, at the osce, ukraine is a member. so, nothing about ukraine without ukraine. and again, on kazakhstan, i would not conflate these situations. there are very particular drivers of what's happening in kazakhstan right now, as i said, that go to economic and political matters. and what's happening in there is different from what's happening on ukraine's borders. having said that, i think one lesson in recent history is that once russians are in your house, it's sometimes very difficult to get them to leave. mr price: thank you, mr. secretary. secretary blinken: thanks. mr price: thank you, everyone.
