the security council needs to change and reform for several reasons 11. system is completely unfair. second, in crises, especially crises in which the great powers on one side of the crisis, the security council cannot enter , for example, the attack and aggression of the united states of america on iraq in 2003, or now the war of russia against ukraine, are similar to these. the security council is one of the major powers, it is actually a war, it could not act well. the third point is that the basis of the international system has changed, we are faced with emerging powers that are now claiming membership in the security council . you mentioned it and it was in the news, even the minister germany's foreign affairs are usually satisfied with the overall performance of the security council in the syrian war, which remains behind russia and china's veto. now, ukraine is unable to reach a single conclusion with russia . in the current situation, there are ways and solutions to amend the terms of the united nations security council, which basically changes a

security council urging to revoke russiana's veto power on the council. he criticized the u.n. for not doing enough in ukraine's war with russia. you so much. thank president zelenskyy: thank you so much. thank you. distinguished prime minister and i'm grateful to the presidency for the organization of this meeting, mr. secretary general, ladies and gentlemen, since the start of the full scale aggression launched by the state which is still present here among the members of the u.n. security council and 574 of pain, losses and, russia has killed tens of thousands and thd destroying their homes. most of the world recognizes the truth of this war. it is a criminal and unprovoked of russia against our nation. ukraine territory and resources but just not that. the terrorists towards the aggression to undermine the norms meant to put back. and i am grateful to all those who have go recognized the violation of the u.n. charter. ukraine exercises its right to self-defense helping ukraine with weapons with and comprehensive pressure on the agressor and hoping for a resolution helping t

in addition, we have expert councils, an expert advisory council, and a council that interacts with locale enough so seriously interesting, and it seems to me that this is a good school for anyone. who is a member of the council of the republic, even in their professional growth? in the future , well then, well, you just touched upon the expert council yourself. yes, on instructions from the president. it should shed light on the viability of the draft laws of our country and the experts are learned invited experts. yes, narrow specialists in specific areas. what areas will undergo this x-ray in the near future, brother sergeevich, do you know? eh, expert, this was the case, in my opinion, very wise decision. this is not only the consideration of bills. absolutely not. this is a consideration, but almost all normative law is those that are supposed to be signed by the state and the expert council - yes, we have identified members of the expert council there, but believe me, every time. we invite those people who are deeply immersed in this topic that we will consider to consider this or t

he believes that the security council did not do enough to resist russian aggression.does not understand why russia still has a place at this table and with the important right of veto , but he knows that this is a key forum where he has to prove his arguments here. he has the opportunity to look his russian directly in the eyes and this time it can be sergey lavrov if only he decides to appear there for his speech great britain is represented not by the prime minister but by his deputy oliver down together with foreign minister james cleverley - this is a war we need to say loud and clear we have determination we have strategic patience and we will do what is necessary until the very end but for this it may take more time for diplomacy here at the un and for a more active fight on on the front therefore, today the open debate of the un security council on peace and security in ukraine invited dozens of other countries to this meeting, and the newly presiding prime minister of albania, dirama, started the meeting as a representative of russia, vasyl ne benzel asked why

the council has before it the text of a statement by the president on behalf of the council on the subject of today's meeting. i thank the council members for their valuable contributions to this statement. in accordance with the understanding reached among the members of the council, i shall take it that the members of the security council agree to the statement which will be issued as a document of the security council under the symbol s/prst/2023/4. i now give the floor to ms. rena galani. over to you. >> thank you, mr. president, excellencies, and thank you for the opportunity to take part in this briefing today. mr. president, this council is more than aware of the multiple challenges and threats the world is facing today. but the threat of famine, people starving slowly to death, must be a red line. and yet the number of people suffering from acute food insecurity reached a quarter of a billion last year. this is the highest recorded in recent years. these people, some 376,000, were facing famine-like conditions in seven countries. another 35 million people were on the edge. as in al

in the security council, reform is being discussed in the security council the serious issue that today, as you mentioned and it was in the news, is that the foreign minister of germany and the officials of other western countries are usually satisfied with the overall performance of the national security council, for example, in the syrian war, russia's veto and china's weight remained behind , but now i can't argue with the ukraine war. if a unified result is reached with russia, the protestors have increased, and the previous country and the western countries are also hard to join. now, in the current situation, what solutions are there to amend the conditions of the united nations security council, which is basically a change in the united nations charter? one of the reforms in the security council has been taking place for some time that two-thirds of the general assembly and all the permanent members of the security council using the right of veto do not have a positive or negative vote on it, but there have been many discussions about the reform plan and the united nations in the

council are the developing countries, so we cannot reduce everything to the security council. we will change the second permanent member international organizations are also suitable for the united nations. we have 5,000 international organizations in the world that are active, but the third point about the security council is not only five permanent members, but 10 non -permanent members have opinions. i believe that each of these have some initiatives during their term of office. if there is a war and in a war like ukraine, one of the permanent members, who is you, knows this. hello, this was a military operation. take a piece here. there are four impasses, but again through referring the case to the assembly the general public took measures, and in the last year of the general assembly, the flower became more important . in the case of libya, it was not easy for the us to do anything, but a 1973 resolution was like using one word and the initial military operation. it was a sight to behold, it is a path that is used in the security council of the united states, and they wer

the council determined the prices and you couldn't sum up, thank you. fortunately, in this meeting, after a lot of good discussions, the black ink price of the basic products of the country was brought up and discussed, and it was approved. agriculture had a deadline of one week and the prices to announce the legal deadline, which is a few days away, it was held with a little delay last week, and god willing, it will be notified. where do they say that the dog arrived in the market in 1977 and you have a guarantee? really, their words and actions are the same. how big can i help you? we have a carpet nursery, a carpet specialized center, that is why we focus only on carpets , that's why you can find anything you want here. at any time we offer to receive 60% of the resources of these publications for free , send number 5 to 3048 forums right now, synchronized oath with world quality, washable and double-layer woven upper, straight pu sole, light and comfortable, suitable for walking. long periods of exercise and daily activities darya sogand shoes with

security council when any member records a threat. ukranian soldiers now are doing at the expense on the security council should be voting. stopping aggression and now, the tear tearial. this is part of the charter that is linked on the issue of cleaning the. and it is a source. under the order. i will provide examples of complete steps to be taken for the security architecture to be strong using ukraine to be strong. just like ukraine. first, and russian troops and military formations and black sea fleet and remnants as well as the withdrawal of mercenaries and from the international recognized borders. second, full restoration of effective control of the entire state border and explosive act and in the third strike. only the implementation will result in a reliable crestation of hostilities. ladies and gentlemen, before such inremain tragedies, we should not wait for the aggression to be over, we need to act now. our restoration for peace. as i one of the principles for the u.n. charter, only the principles and adopted by the genera

a council meeting on this subject. since our last meeting in july, no new credible or meaningful elements have merged to justify a new debate on this issue. for the more well rush, it shows so much concern about a tax. on your pin infrastructure it continues to inflict massive destruction daily on ukrainian civilian infrastructure, electricity systems, hospitals, schools, and the could meetings of this new meeting therefore doesn't seem to stem from any necessity of other than russia's needed to distract this council and to fuel speculation. as to responsibility for the sabotage of these gas pipelines in order to establish the truth of this matter, investigations have been launched by the competent german, danish, and swedish authorities. as we have already stressed, we have no reason to doubt their seriousness or impartiality. give them a seriousness and the complexity of the matter at hand. we understand that the ongoing investigations required time and thorough verification. we hope that these investigations will co

first, the united nations should not be equated with only the security council. security is a part of the united nations and it is part of the part where the five permanent members of the security council are the developing countries, but let's change everything to the soft security council to five permanent members, and secondly, the international organizations are also suitable for the united nations. we have 5000 international organizations in the world which is busy, but the third point about the security council is that there are only five permanent members , there are only five non-permanent members, they have opinions, and i have honey . it has happened and in a war like ukraine, one of the permanent members, which is you, was involved in this military operation, and there are four deadlocks here, but they took measures by referring the case to the general assembly, and flute in the last year of the general assembly i found it more important not in the case of libya but easily in america you can do whatever you want, but a 1973 resolution used one word and

but we also know that so the lens, he had an agenda today beyond the un security council meeting. we know that tonight, for example, he is on a reception out a think tank, receiving an award at some point. he's going to travel on to washington where he's scheduled to meet with us president joe biden. and as well as with some members of congress to try ensure up support for, for his war effort in your brain for the defend ukraine at a time where the war has dragged on past days. and enthusiasm could be breaking down somewhat worse in new york. thank you very much for that update. let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world. poland said it'll no longer provide arms to ukraine. tensions between war, so in keyboard sparked by the polish decision to bind ukrainian green impulse. with the goal of protecting its own farm is pulling it as being one of your green staunchest supporters against russia's invasion and is one of cuba, the main weapon suppliers. the venezuelan authorities say they've regained control of a prison taken over by a possible criminal gang. 11

so and but the othe birmingham city council, yep, birmingham city council, birmingham city council hascial liabilities relating to equal pay claims and an in—year financial gap within its budget, which currently stands in the region of £87 million. >> in june, the council announced that it had potential liability relating to equal pay claims in the region of 650 million to 760 million, with an ongoing liability accruing at a rate of 5 million to £14 million per month. the council's senior officers and members are committed to dealing with the financial situation and when more information available, more information is available, it shared. well, i'm it will be shared. well, i'm sure reassuring to you sure that's reassuring to you all. 87 million in your budget. that's the one you should really watch. that's all from me. up next, it's our resident professor, professor daniel wootton . dan, what's coming up wootton. dan, what's coming up on your programme? well, we're very excited, jacob. >> brand new tuesday >> we have a brand new tuesday superstar panel, so i'm going to give you clues,

so let's get dressed, the council in the chamber in person. let's listen to some of what he had to say. most of the world recognizes the truth about this war. it is a criminal and unprovoked aggression by russia, against our nation, aimed at seizing ukraine's territory and resources. but it's not just that the terrorist state is willing streets, aggression, to undermine all the grounds of international norms, meant to protect the world from divorce. and i am grateful to all those who have recognized re russian aggression as the violation of the un charter and the landscape did not stop there. he accused, and you end up failing to fulfill its purpose by allowing russia to stay on the security council. what more can you tell him of the indeed. well, while he has been here in new york, valencia is very much focused on the message of an attack on ukraine, being in a talk of the world as every nation is meant to prize its sovereignty. but what he was trying to tell, but as you can see in the sound bites there, he also took special pains to thank th

the security council has its numbers and methods of work.are advocated by the so-called group of four, which includes brazil, germany , india and japan, in march the countries made a joint statement calling for an increase in the number of seats in the body to 25 or 26 and demanded a new permanent membership for six countries, including itself and a temporary four more new, permanent members. if accepted, the group of four proposes to abandon the right eyelid for at least 15 years. permanent membership in the council is also claimed by groups of african and arab countries; the latter oppose the right of the century of five permanent members of the security council; another group is the so-called consensus unions, which includes argentina italy spain canada mexico pakistan as well as china and indonesia as an observer , proposes to increase the composition of the un security council up to 26 members, but retain the status of five, permanent by design, the remaining 20 temporary members from africa, asia, latin america and the caribbean, weste

let me emphasize that the early elections of the congress and the supreme council will create a completely new, supreme body of legislative power in russia. sounds in generally not bad. even to some extent reasonable on the surface, there was a small problem , president yeltsin did not have the authority to call such elections, president yeltsin did not have the authority to change the entire system of power, and if he had any doubts about this, then in general -they should have disappeared after literally immediately after... this decree, decree 1400, the constitutional court of russia spoke, its chairman was valery zorkin, who is still the chairman now, and the constitutional court stated that the decree had no legal force, after which the supreme council announced the impeachment of yeltsin, and brought him to power as interim president, when you saw yeltsin announcing this decree, was it some kind of surprise, shock for you, or was it you did you expect everything? this means that before these events, about a month ago, it was august, they brought me approval of draft presidential decr

some of the other councils that have pressed the other councils that have pressed the emergency buttonn conservative councils, and if we look at the whole issue of equal pay, that is not a uniquely birmingham challenge and glasgow, dundee, coventry, but also looking at this and other slightly to as well and it comes with huge bills. and then there a bigger picture, and in the last couple of years the funding councils have had from central government has ticked up but if we look at it since 2010 when the conservatives came into power, it has been under significant pressure. that has contributed to some local authorities who then encounter other problems, being tipped over the precipice. at the same time as they have dealt with the social care costs, often increasing and inflation, but for birmingham, i do not think anything will change overnight. the people may find themselves paying more council tax in time and because the services that are deemed nonessential are likely to be cut, things like sweeping the streets, improving parks, the danger is perhaps that the people in the city will

the three forces, plus the expediency council, plus the councils, are subject to transparency, so that the arrangement and our dear people know, of course, it was in the government , but the government is not the same as the group of woes, because it has nothing, the government has nothing to say to the parliament, i cannot determine the task, but the assembly is here. there is a domestic law perhaps it is in the form of the assembly, the pressure which is another law of the discussion of the youth of the population, which, by the way , i talked a lot in the islamic council and the government in the past months, and they tried to make this operational. it has been considered and the aspect of the operation has been found or not, let it be approved in this parliament, many cases have also been seen as points for the families who help anyway, and the youth of the population and the increase in population is one of the insurance for the treatment of infertile couples, now in the report that was broadcast the spokesperson of the commission mentioned that i have to do it one of the serious

he came in later to address the council, russia being a permanent member of the security council. let's listen to what he had to say. >> today, the west is turning selectively to norms and principles based on their geopolitical needs. this has led to shaky global stability and new hotbeds of tension. >> many expected a showdown between lavrov and zelenskyy. that did not happen. why? >> the fact of the matter is zelenskyy was simply not there when lavrov was talking. zelenskyy had already vacated his seat in the chamber at the time that u.s. secretary of state antony blinken was talking. his was the speech before lavrov's. i can imagine this provided some measure of relief, especially to the albanian prime minister, who would have had to manage the situation had their really been a showdown between ukraine and russia in the security council chamber, but as we can hear, albeit from the soundbite there, lavrov's speech was basically a litany against the neocolonialism and imperialism of the west and of ukraine's alleged excesses. as such, it is not hard to imagine why zelenskyy did n

in addition, we have expert councils, an expert advisory council, and a council that interacts with localthorities, so we have a very serious and interesting school, and it seems to me that this is a good school for anyone. who is a member of the council of the republic, even in their professional growth? in the future, well then, well, you just touched on expert council, yes, on behalf of the president. it should shed light on the viability of the draft laws of our country and the experts are learned invited experts. yes, narrow specialists in specific areas. what areas will undergo this x-ray in the near future, brother sergeevich, you know, the expert advice was, in my opinion, a very wise decision. this is not only the consideration of bills. absolutely not. this is a consideration, but almost all normative and legal ones are not, those that are supposed to be signed in the head states and expert council - yes, we have identified members of the expert council there, but believe us every time. we invite those people who are deeply immersed in this topic that we will consider to conside

president will of denver zalinski and dressed as a special session of the united nations security council, calling for russia to be stripped of its veto power. the . i'm told me. alrighty. well, welcome to the program. as a by john's president says, this country has regained control over the break, waiting to go into the camera box region after separatist ethnic armenian forces agreed to lay down their arms. as part of the seas far protest does have a rallied in the median capital. yet of on, over the government handling of the situation in the going to kind of back accusing it of abandoning armenians during the fighting that separatist officials a killed at least 200 people now and they're going to car back is internationally recognized as part of as a by john, even though most of its residents are ethnic, armenians as the by john to control of parts of the region after a war with our media in 2020 a. d, w.

so birmingham city council is, believe it or not, the biggest council with the biggest budget. but in the whole of europe. and today it effectively went bankrupt. what does that mean? the people of birmingham and other implications for other councils around the country, bearing in mind that just in the last year or so, thurrock and croydon went bust too. all of that in just a well, if birmingham city council is effectively bankrupt, we need to find out the reasons why. and i wonder i just wonder what the reaction to all of this has been today. perhaps one of incredulity. i don't know . will incredulity. i don't know. will hollis is our gb news reporter who is there on the spot. will, what's going on and what are people saying ? people saying? >> yes. well, it was here today earlier that birmingham city council declared the s—1 one for not this. and essentially, nigel, what that is, is the equivalent of a council waving a white flag and saying that our ship financially is sinking. they're calling on the government to help support the council as it can't quite balance its books .

the council should carefully read its conclusions.also remember what president biden said today, that the united states will put an end to nord stream 2. during a press conference with german chancellor scholz on february 7, 2002. and the undisguised joy of secretary of state victoria in connection with this. that the gas pipeline is now, in her words, a pile of metal on the seabed, during a hearing in the us senate on january 26 , 2023, and gratitude to the united states for undermining the flow expressed in a tweet by former polish foreign minister radoslaw sikowski. let's not forget that some westerners, like some western members of the council, were unable to cope with emotions at meetings. we pointed out that undermining the northern flows is a response to russia’s actions in ukraine. such sincere confessions would allow this case to be completed without any problems, even for a novice investigator. but since germany, denmark and sweden are tasked with shielding the involvement of their zakean elder brother, the investigators the
