peacekeepers in the drc. the presidents of the une -- in drc has become increasingly unpopular.ritics say that's due to a failure of u.n. peacekeepers to protect civilians from violence. earlier this month protesters demanded the peacekeepers go. they have accuse the u.n. of doing little to protect them. the army cleared demonstrations, dozens of people were killed. what is the current level of anger about the presence of u.n. peacekeepers, and how exactly did we get to this point? >> i think the levels of anger are pretty high. and it has led to this call for rapid withdrawal. i think we have to look at where we got to and how this came about. if we look at the origins of the mission to congo, it was at a very particular time. when the country was actually imploding. there was a significant risk that it would split apart. but definitely, over the years that the u.n. has been there, its ability to actually deal and to improve the security for civilians has been severely impaired. it's also, the terrain is impossible, the region is largely pretty much from a military point of vie

and drc, the world.our first segment was about the west pouring billions into though war in ukraine. can you talk about what needs to be done on a global perspective right now? >> what we need are summit meetings to deal with the exploding hunger crisis. we cannot call ourselves and international civilization or a european civilization or american civilization unless we do something to avert this chronicle of unannounced famine that is going to grip from afghanistan to the congo to somalia, to yemen and so hail and beyond. the united states has been the most generous donor of the last years. united states is cutting 20% of its humanitarian assistance now and next year it will be further cuts in a situation where needs are exploding because of conflict and climate crisis. the europeans are not stepping up as they should be. and where are the gulf countries are the large asian economies? india -- you put on spaceships on the backside of the moon, could you also help feed children in the congo? there has to

i believe the pboc and the and drc are all coming out with some commentary.ely we had a joint conference from the pboc, the and drc in the finance ministry. just before that we saw the chinese lenders keeping the lpr unchanged. to be sure this was in line with the market consensus, but it is perhaps a disappointment for people that were hoping for a bit of stimulus in the market. we are seeing the benchmarks in hong kong lower, weakness in the chinese currency as well just to get you up to speed with what we heard from the pboc officials they are talking about how there is ample room for policy support for the chinese economy and they are reiterating their previous stance of just getting more of a countercyclical adjustment and stepping that up if needed. some of these stepping up of policy support, based on comments coming in from these chinese officials. kriti: it's really interesting to see both china and japan trying to tackle the local issues with various central banks to different degrees of success. thank you for those two major stories, i want to stic

you describe, i think it was in drc, a terribly difficult moment when you were with a mother and a childon the point of death... mmm. ..and i think it was a little boy and he was so sick that bodily fluids were sort of flying around and your clothing got dirty, and you said the mother became so agitated and upset by what had happened to you and your rather pristine clothing that the boy died while she was attending to you. i just wonder what stories like that, experiences like that, what impact they have on you. devastating. as you know, i'm still... i can still picture it very vividly. i can still remember the feelings of embarrassment and trying to stop it and trying to do something about it. it was too late, because the boy died. i've always felt very strongly, perhaps rightly or wrongly, how important it is for me personally — and everybody�*s different — to be able to have experiences, to engage with the people in the greatest forms of crisis. it helps me to understand why i do what i do, and not to have that direct engagement, not to have that involvement... and myjob, by the way,

peacekeeping efforts in the drc have been widely criticized as many communities say their presence has done little to prevent conflict. violence has soared in recent years, particularly in the eastern region of the country. chile's government is launching a nationwide search for over 1000 people who were forcibly disappeared during the u.s.-backed military dictatorship of general augusto pinochet. chilean president gabriel boric made the announcement wednesday ahead of the 50th anniversary of the u.s.-backed coup that overthrew the democratically-elected president salvador ledet. survivors of the pinochet regime have long demanded justice. >> had the hope they were alive. as years went by, we realize they weren't. at least they should have told us what happened to them, what was done to them. that is the worst part of these 50 years. amy: in colombia, a truth and justice tribunal found the u.s.-trained general mario montoya responsible for 130 extrajudicial killings and disappearances between 2002 and 2003. montoya is accused of deliberately mislabeling civilians killed by his soldiers

warning on rapidly deteriorating food security in haiti, drc and burkina faso. the message was clear, act now to prevent further deterioration. so in that spirit, i want to join others in focusing on actions and propose three. they overlap with those that have been proposed by others during the course of our debate. and in particular with those proposed by the united nations famine prevention and response coordinator. first, this council should take concerted action to tackle the drivers of conflict and invest in inclusive, sustainable peace. the secretary general's new agenda for peace calls for renewed multilateral cooperation and putting women who are uniquely impacted by food insecurity at the center of peace initiatives. in afghanistan, if they cannot bear to watch their children die, some mothers face a harrowing choice. sell their children or starve. congolese women in displacement camps are forced into sex work just to buy food. second, we call on parties to conflict, to abide by international humanitarian law and to allow humanitarians rapid and unimped
