the general assembly was asked to respond to the same u.n. member states attempt and annexation of crimea and back then, the general assembly defended the u.n. charter. we adopted the resolution of affirming ukraine sovereignty. we must do the same today. in 2014 -- as in 2014, russia is testing the resolve of the world to stand up -- for the court principles of international law. how is the you -- how else do you explain the -- peace and security? how's the you explain the horrific attacks on civilians and -- how else do you explain the horrific attacks on civilians and infrastructure that we have seen? how else do you explain the saber rattling from president putin and the threat of deploying nuclear forces? these are threats against this institution and all of us. we have heard countries underscored the need to pursue solutions that lead to dialogue and peace. believe me, there's nothing we would like to see more than peace. i would like to stop seeing craters in ukrainian playgrounds where swings used to be. we would like to stop seeing d

in which , unfortunately, the chairman of the general assembly played a key role.were not given the floor on the order of the meeting. the light about this is still on behind our sign. our speech was distorted. and now they are trying to steal from member countries . un rights are free to express their views . it's an unprecedented manipulation undermining the authority of the general assembly, and he as a whole. you, mr. chairman, deprived the russian delegation of the author of the proposal of the opportunity to properly present it and explain its logic. instead , our opponents did it for us. this is something transparency and practice that the delegation of alba albania ranted about. this is fair play after the protest, not even the russian proposal for a secret ballot was also put on the agenda against 100 countries by the word in the spring. on the same scheme, another anti-russian resolution was promoted by the whites. condemnation of moscow by a much larger number of 141 countries. by the way this time. russia was ready to participate in the preparation of t

general assembly, everyone gets to see how they vote. but russia was defeated in that and it didn't like the way the procedure was handled by the president of the general assembly. what will happen now is this session will continue. we think it's most likely because there are lots of speakers that the vote. the final vote, which is on russia's annexation of ukrainian territory, will take place on wednesday or perhaps even thursday. now the vote some procedure perhaps give us some idea of who is on rushes side and who is not. and certainly it's pretty clear from those votes. i think that when it comes to the vote on annexation on the actual subject, this is all about than russia is not going to win that vote. liam collins is executive director of madison policy foreign and the author of understanding urban warfare. he says the attacks demonstrate frustration from moscow just once again shows how poorly the war is going for russia. right? ukraine struck a ballad and a very strategic target, right. if it's the bridge, the main line of commu

the un general assembly gave overwhelming backing to the resolution, which also reaffirmed ukraine sovereignty within its internationally recognized borders of a vote is the assemblies strongest rebuke to moscow since it began its war on ukraine. defending the principles of clear rejection to any changes to the borders of ukraine and our demand that moscow reversed course. the un general assembly has passed a resolution condemning russia's attempt to annex for regions of ukraine with a 143 countries valves. voting in favor. only 5 voted against and 35 countries, abstained. today's boat has a practical effect. it means that in the eyes of the world and the united nations, ukraine's borders remain the same. her son is ukraine, is upper roger is ukraine. don't ask, is ukraine? la hans is ukraine and ukraine remains ukraine. last week, president vladimir putin proclaimed for ukrainian regionally to be part of russia in an opulent ceremony at the kremlin. but i can't resist. you're. the move followed a series of what the west called shamrock randoms, held at gunpoint in ukraine's russian occupied e

also coming up at the un general assembly, the world condemns moscow's illegal annexation of ukrainian territory and recent sham referendums. but they're all noticeable abstentions from china and from india . and tears of relief as a u. s. course tells conspiracy theorist alex jones to pay almost a $1000000000.00 to people who suffered from his false claims that the sandy hook, school shooting never happened. ah, diamond yoko mckinnon. thanks so much for being with us. russia has launched an air offensive on ukraine for the 4th straight day. this time target saying the key region with iranian made kamikaze for people in the ukrainian capital woke to the sounds of air raid sirens early on. thursday. officials say, emergency services are assessing the damage. the attack comes just hours after the united nations general assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn russia's attempts to illegally annex for regions of ukraine. and funding for child is al correspondent in ukraine, and she joins me now from keith morning, finding other been fresh air raid alerts in cave and more russian attacks we

security council, russia can veto resolutions that but how much leverage does moscow have the general assembly? journal assembly, of course, is a different tool. it's the most important body of the united nations, to the robot is to maintain international peace and security with the security council. and there, this is already long established tactics of our western provenance to bring to the general assembly issues which are responsibility of the security council doesn't help very much of the activities of the un confuses a lot of people. it gives mixed signals. and while this is the tactics the want to show in the world that there is close to universal supports of anti ration initiatives. natasha is allegedly isolated that she wants to be friends with us and does the picture of the try to keep floats when the reality is different from this picture. of course, they're very supportive. they have to just try to distort this. be sure they use a different methods you and is an important platform and important to us from the world. and that's why now our opponents are very, very eager to pretend t

that has been the main message during this general assembly meeting.e have also heard from some countries defending russia saying they will not support this resolution. we are at the moment waiting for this boat to take place. it is imminent. we do expect this resolution to pass, but we are on tenterhooks to find out who supports it and who does not. this assembly resolution is nonbinding, but still important. it condemns russia's annexations, illegal referenda, in ukraine. it also calls for russia to pull troops out of ukraine and urges all member states to do everything they can to help the situation move towards dialogue. it urges diplomacy to find a peaceful resolution to the war in ukraine. we are hearing two different narratives. one from western powers, they say it is a battle for the u.n., a battle to uphold international law. they are arguing the u.n. has -- was created to save us from the scorch of war and not supporting this resolution is a denial of that. it is ukraine, but if we do not stand up to the territorial integrity of each member s

was conducted by the president of the general assembly. he said it was wrong, and it's not the way the business should be done at the united nations. now what russians had been hoping to do by procedure is get the vote that we're going to have at the end of this session as a secret ballot vote. and that's not the way the un general assembly normally boats . normally, when a country votes in the general assembly, everyone gets to see how they vote. but russia was defeated in that and it didn't like the way the procedure was handled by the president of the general assembly. what will happen now is this session will continue. we think it's most likely because there are lots of speakers that the vote. the final vote, which is on russia's annexation of ukrainian territory, will take place on wednesday or perhaps even thursday. now the boat, some procedure perhaps give us some idea of who is on rushes side and who is not. and certainly it's pretty clear from those votes. i think that when it comes to the vote on an exception on the actual subjec

the general of the un assembly supported the territorial integrity of ukraine. the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe recognized the russian regime as a terrorist. what consequences will these decisions have? returned twenty soldiers from captivity about the exchange of prisoners, the head of the president's office, andriy yarmak, said, according to him, among the released 14 soldiers of the armed forces, four soldiers of the territorial defense, one national guardsman and one serviceman of the navy, at the same time, the russian ministry of defense reports that 20 people also returned to russia as part of the exchange. already the third exchange in the last month, since october 11, it was possible to return 32 ukrainians in september, 215 ukrainian fighters, including 108 azov fighters, at the same time from russian captivity a soldier of the azov regiment, lieutenant ilya samoilenko, returned. he told the bbc that he was kept in solitary confinement for 120 days and he was afraid that he would never return to ukraine. this is his first interview i

and that's not the way the un general assembly normally votes normally when a country votes in the general assembly, everyone gets to see how they vote. but russia was defeated in that and it didn't like the way the procedure was handled by the president of the general assembly. what will happen now is this session will continue. we think it's most likely because there are lots of speakers that the vote. the final vote, which is on russia's annexation of ukrainian territory, will take place on wednesday or perhaps even thursday. now the vote some procedure perhaps give us some idea of who is on rushes side and who is not. and certainly it's pretty clear from those votes. i think that when it comes to the vote on an exception on the actual subject, this is all about than russia is not going to win that vote. us president joe biden has promised to supply ukraine with advanced air defense systems falling rushes. misaligned attacks he made that pledge and a phone call with the ukranian leader. she returns he has more from washington on this. we rather read out from the white house, joe biden,

the morning with you in the united marathon remains the channel 1+1 and now news from tsn the general assembly of the united nations has started a debate on the resolution on the non-recognition of the russian attempt to annex the territory of ukraine by yes called referendums, the ukrainian delegation presents a draft resolution on the territorial integrity of ukraine, the defense of the principles of the united nations charter, after which, according to plan , the representatives of the un member states will speak, and now you can see footage of a live broadcast from new york. we will talk about the united states in more detail, so wait for the most massive missile attack since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, enemy cruise missiles from the kandera s-300 tornado exploded on the 15th in the regions of ukraine, the russians injured almost a hundred civilians, killed 14 ukrainians, half of them in the center of the capital, among them yuriy zaskoka, head of the department of the cyber ​​police department, a policeman who was driving along shevchenko boulevard to work at the time of the

and so because of that, of the us and its allies decided then to bring this to the general assembly. and the general assembly now is going to vote or the, the vote what be happening at the beginning of the session here with what happened . the end of the session and the end of the session we think is likely to be on wednesday. the formals session in the business will start, we believe, with a speech from ukraine, and then a speech from russia. but right now, as i say, some procedural motions of being dealt with and the representative from albania at the moment is addressing the general assembly before we get, i think, the more substantive speeches by those 2 countries. now they will be talking about the purpose of the meeting, the annexation. i'm sure the russian ambassador will be explaining his position in the ukraine, them, but they will be condemning it. but we're also expecting the 2 ambassadors to refer to some of the events that have happened in recent days and certainly to that missile strike, or serious miss all strikes that have taken is in recent hours in ukraine that i'm

well, besides it took a lot of time for russia, which tried to get the general assembly to vote for thethat is being considered today and will be considered in the future in a secret, closed mode. and secretly doing meanness and voting against the norms of international law is of course easier and more pleasant than doing it openly, but all russian attempts to influence the procedure failed, even though it took a lot of time, the ukrainian representative at the united nations trolled the russian delegation on twitter while these attempts continued, in particular, he first wrote that if the russian's convulsions had continued a little longer, he would have asked the secretary for a defibrillator, because the russian delegation was needed, because it was better to have an emergency room than a debate at an extraordinary session of the un. well, when russia lost this battle, he successfully failed three procedural attacks on gen. assembly. the nebenzi company successfully retreated according to plan to the kublo pond on 67th street and further quoted the minister of foreign affairs of ukra

how does the radbez work in general, this requires a vote in the general assembly and the support of two-thirds of its members, after this decision must be approved by the same radbez, in particular , and russia, the general assembly voted for that to expel russia for betraying un human rights and this could be done because this body does not appear in the un charter, the only previous time when the general assembly has resorted to such actions was in 2011, when libya was a member of the human rights council, but there is simply no mechanism by which the general assembly could do something about the composition of the security council, the necessary ways to limit russia's influence in the security council and in the un in general, the ukrainian delegation says the permanent representative of prion, serhiy kaslytsia, is trying to prove that russia is not as a legitimate member of the organization, i strongly urge the security council to seriously deal with the issue of solving the problem of russia's dubious presence in this hall, which hinders the effectiveness of the council in fulf

but then was passed in the general assembly in that case by 100 votes. so it's a moral victory, but it doesn't have the weight of international law. a jury in the u. s. has ordered the right wing conspiracy theorists, alex jones to pay almost to $1000000000.00 in damages solve to falsely claiming that the 2012 sandy hook school shooting was a hugs. the radio host who found to the website info was claimed for years that the masika was staged as part of a government plot to take away americans guns. he's been ordered to pay damages to families of 8 feet 26 victims. the federal move that i been associated with for 10 years through this tragedy on europe. beautiful political you'll ever encounter in their children. if your mom's and their wives, you know, beautiful people could ever get to know. oh, i can really say is that i'm just well done. what we're able to accomplish is just to simply tell the truth and it shouldn't be this hard. and it shouldn't be the scary as go to rosalind jordan, who's live in washington dc. rosalind, how did the jury reach this f

general assembly overwhelmingly votes to condemn russia's move to annex four regions of ukraine. >> weill do as much as it takes for as long as it tak. ukraine's allies promised new air defenses at a nato mting. the latest russian airstrike kills seven women in a market. iran's security forces use tear gas to break up the latest protest. the supreme leader has dismissed them as scattered rights by his country's enemies. ♪ a jury in the u.s. has ordered right-wing conspiracy theorist alex jones to pay 965 million dollars in damages after falsely claiming the 2012 sandy hook school massacre was a hoax. the families of eight victims have been seeking at least $550 million in the three-week defamation trial in connecticut. just last month, a jury in texas ordered jones to pay $50 million to other families. the radio host, founder of the website infowars, claimed the student -- shooting was staged as a plot to take away america's guns. 20 young children, six members of staff were killed by a gunman at sandy hook elementary school in 2012. >> a jury representing our community and our nation

ah, the general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to condemn russia's move to annex parts of ukraine on to sham referendums. $143.00 countries voted in favor of a resolution that also reaffirmed the sovereignty independence, unity and territorial integrity of ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. only 4 countries joined russia and voting against the resolution, syria, nicaragua, north korea, and belarus. another 35 countries abstained, including russia's strategic partner, china, christian salumi has more from the united nations in new york. well, this is the 4th vote in the general assembly since russia invaded ukraine on the situation in ukraine in this one past, with the most support of any of the prior resolutions. it's an attempt by ukraine and it's backers to keep russia under pressure. keep the spotlight on the country and show that it's isolated on the international stage. as you mentioned, there were some abstentions 35 of them. that's similar to the right previous votes among the abstentions 2 very large and influential countries, china and india. china sai

general assembly is debating ukraine. the u.n. general assembly is sometimes called the.'s parliament. it is supposed to be debating russia's annexation of those territories and ukraine, but what do you think it has to say about russia's mass airstrikes across ukraine? >> we have already been hearing from some nations. you had the representative for the eu saying they were appalled at the missiles and committed to holding perpetrators of war crimes accountable. we also heard from turkey, who has been a broker between east and west, saying they woke up to the shocking news and that the missiles were unacceptable. clearly this is having an impac on this debate at the u.n.. it has heightened tensions between ukraine's and russia's ambassadors. ukraine's ambassadors said his family were in a residential area that was targeted and could not get to a bomb shelter in the basement with enough. he also called russia a terrorist state. the russian ambassador returned a similar charge, lling keever a terrorist organization. we can see how intense this is getting and it's unclear whe

was conducted by the president of the general assembly. he said it was wrong, and it's not the way business should be done at the united nations. now what the russians had been hoping to do by procedure is get the vote that we're going to have at the end of this session. as a secret ballot vote. they had written to members of the general assembly, all the countries of the united nations, all 193 countries saying they wanted to have a secret ballot on this issue. now that's not the way the un general assembly normally votes. normally, when a country votes in the general assembly, everyone gets to see how they vote. but russia was defeated in that and it didn't like the way the procedure was handled by the president of the general assembly. what will happen now is this session will continue. we think it's most likely because there are lots of speakers that the vote. the final vote, which is on russia's annexation of ukrainian territory, will take place on wednesday or perhaps even thursday. now the vote some procedure perhaps give us some id

when 141 members of the un general assembly. so well over a 2 thirds majority voted in favor of resolution, really condemning russia invasion. and this was in the very early days of the invasion, of course, that's many months ago now. now this, this new resolution is really quite narrowly focused, specifically on the annexations that russia is just recently attempted through these kind of sham referenda that it held in these eastern regions of ukraine. and what you're seeing is certainly western countries that are trying to support ukraine, really been trying to drum up support among member states, the un to make sure that there's a strong showing. but there's a lot of speculation about what, you know, what kind of a showing to expect it is 2 thirds the benchmark is it was last time, which was that exceeded or is anything less than 141? it never should be going to get spun by russia as a sign that opposition to it is weakening. so it really, the symbolism of this will be very important. what is that eventually number? what count

why are team that leads scuba dive as a un general assembly and dubs a resolution to condemn. most of the recent referenda in the formal euclidean territories, the russia anyway involved the procedure explosion. weston blackmail. so you know, so when you, molly, for these past few days, many of our colleagues from the global south came and told us about the economic blackmail and direct threats which they hear from the west. this is unacceptable with hello and welcome to international law. from moscow is just from 7 am here. i'm glad you joined us. i'm martha mommy, let's take a look at the latest top stories on this out. we saw with the latest from the conflicts in ukraine as an air strike alert has founded in regions across central. you train, including in the capitol of keith, mid air explosions, have been reported in j. tamira. and if he meets a regions on russian soil, ukrainian forces are reported of shell, the border city of belgrade for years also, its logins were heard in a city. as ad defense intersected an incoming attack launched by he forces. there are no reports

but then was passed in the general assembly in that case by 100 votes. so it's a moral victory, but it doesn't have the weight of international law. a jury in the u. s. has ordered right wing conspiracy theorist alex jones to pay almost a $1000000000.00 in damages for his false claim that the 2012 sandy hook school shooting was a hoax. the money's compensation for relatives of the 26 victims and an f. b, i officer was called to the scene article, he has the latest latent, joan, the jury, please listen to your words as it has been hoarding. they have been through so much the emotions at this moment clear in the courtroom. the man who publicly denied their children were slaughtered in their classroom or who called them actors and unleashed his followers to who rather than with death threats. that man, alex jones will pay for what he did defamation. slander damage is aston future. i b m a little stressed this past and future. $32000600.00 about jones is already facing one judgment for $45000000.00 for this conduct. but this was by far the biggest penalty, $

very clearly from a legal point of view, and it was precisely um to ask this question in the general assemblyd here i will not just tell you to get so many votes of the mineral assembly, and the resolution was called a territorial one from ukraine, and confirmation of the principles of the un charter is a completely different thing, that is, in fact, it revealed which countries clearly adhere to the un charter, and which countries manipulate it in their temporary interests and uh, for us, this is a very big victory over russia, because on our side, at least today, there are 143 countries that have clearly declared their position, and well, really five, that is, a killer score of 143:5, so this is the largest number for all the years since 2014, when the support of territorial integrity was voted by the widest circle of the state, but despite what they say that they thank the ukrainian diplomats. joint actions that led to the fact that a large number of countries still took the right position, now with regard to those countries that were undecided or, er, avoided voting, here it is necessary t

those are the remarks for the russian ambassador to the un at the latest general assembly emergency session, where member states have been debating on whether to condemn moscow for the recent referendums. socially you see just general horn, but unfortunately now completely different principles are being promoted within the walls of the un. there's never been such a scale of cynicism, confrontation, an extremely dangerous polarization as now in the history of the organization. this is especially evident at this session, the polarization of which follows from the fact that it was specially created to promote a narrative directly against one state, the russian federation. we have a resolution that has been put forward to the un general assembly. that's the full body of the us, every member say, participate in the general assembly and a resolution has been put forward condemning russia, condemning the recent wrap around up that happened and you know, on which the eastern regions dunbar, others joined with, with, with russia going to be voted on now russia put forward if they would like it to be

but then was passed in the general assembly in that case by 100 votes. so it's a moral victory, but it doesn't have the weight of international law, middle ukraine's president as appeal to the international community for more money for rebuilding after months of russian bombardment flooding his lensky told the world bank and i m. f. that around $55000000000.00 is needed for reconstruction and for the country spending needs. alan fish a report from washington d. c. the recent russian attacks on ukraine hit 12 cities as well as the human cost. it's estimated. it devastated a 3rd of the countries infrastructure. that'll take money to rebuild, which is why president vladimir zalinski asked the international financial community to step up. when someone is lachelle or she's on the me, the more assistance the ukraine gets. now, the sooner we will come to the end of the russian war yesterday, ukraine will need significant injections of funds just to run the country in 2023 and billions more to rebuild it. see $38000000000.00 to make up for the deficit of our bud

vote for the general assembly is the result of hard work and multilateral work in new york, but it is also very important that it is bilateral, that is, now after this third vote did you see on the eve of the vote , india's position has changed a little bit, it officially condemned india, this is the first time since the beginning of the war, their ministry of foreign affairs condemned the use of an attack on a critical structure and the death of civilians, this is very it is an important shift, there is no vote yet, but for us this is a signal and i think our diplomats felt it, there will be serious work with india, which is an important country, and in the region, the opinion of which is listened to by other countries, and this is the first, that is, the work with india is bilateral, and the second - this is work with the countries that voted for us and that were found. i think our diplomats are also looking for ways to include the constructive inclusion of these countries in the rammstein format. that is, we know that at one time the soviet union of russia, ukraine around the world

but then was passed in the general assembly in that case by 100 votes. so it's a moral victory, but it doesn't have the weight of international law, e u energy ministers of again fail to agree measures to tackle high gas prices. 15 member states want the price of wholesale gas to be kept across the block. but others want different strategies including limits on gas consumption and subsidies for businesses and consumers. european commissions proposals are expected next week . dominic kane was falling, the meeting from berlin. the interesting thing coming from this meeting is the unity of purpose that pretty much everyone involved in the meeting said that they wanted to bring to this problem. they all want to try to resolve the issue. they want something to take forward. the european commission says it has proposals to do precisely that we will propose and our proposal and ain't the in tulsa october. it will consist these kind of proposals when we have maximum consent, child support and her aunt. and we will see over the weekend how we can proceed escaping
