when i started in the maryland general assembly, i didn't have to promote stability. today you have to promote civility and work hard to create and promote bipartisan relationships. it is more challenging today. your style has to change. my friendships with root republicans are real, and democrats as well. host: what is that style? sen. cardin: to listen to others'points of view. today that is difficult in american politics. the major bills i was able to get done, we had a major disagreement on the iran nuclear agreement. chairman corker, i was ranking democrat, we were able to work out process. the seneca debate and vote, even though there would be different views, we could come to agreement. that process was approved by near unanimous vote on the floor of the senate. if we listen, we can really move forward. host: where else did you make compromise happen? who were the people you worked with? sen. cardin: pension reform, i worked with senator portman. we wanted to expand retirement opportunities to all families. there were some business interests but i was equally i

when i start in the maryland general assembly, i didn't have to promote civility. civility was in our system. today you have to promote civility. you have to really work hard to create bipartisan relationships. you have to encourage people to sit around the table and compromise to get things done, not to compromise principles but to be able to get lasting solutions to problems. so it's more challenging today. your style has to change, and i have learned that over the years. my friendships, particularly with republicans is real. and friends with democrats as well of course, and it has produced, i think, a style that has made it possible to be able to get things accomplished? >> what is the style? >> the style is to listen, to listen to people's points of view. it's different in american politics. i think about the major bills that i was able to get done. we had a major disagreement on the iran nuclear agreement but yet senator corker, a republican, who chaired the senate foreign relations committee and i was at the time ranking democrat on senate foreign relations c

president, the legislation defies resolution of this council and the general assembly. it flownts the ruling of the international court of justice. it disregards that unrwa is to provide assistance to palestinian refugees pending a political answer to the question of palestine. implementing the legislation makes a mockery of international law and imposes massive constraints on unrwa's operation. we are going to stay and deliver until it is no longer possible to do so. this is not without risk for our palestinian colleagues who face an exceptional hostile environment fostered in part by the fierce disinformation. members of the council, the government of israel is investing significant resources do portray the agency as a terrorist organization and our staff as terrorists or terrorist sympathizer. billboards accusing unrwa as terrorists appeared in major cities around the world. they were paid by the israeli ministry of foreign affairs. google redirects information to web sites replete with disinformation. the absurdity of antiunrwa propaganda does not diminish the threa

well in december three, president eisenhower appeared before general assembly and made this extraordinaryproposal that the atom be used for man's life rather than for his death and we all join forces to set up an atomic pool and a developer energy for peaceful purposes. three days ago that was completed, the negotiations between 12 countries, including the united states and the soviet union and india, setting up an that would do that thing. and incidentally, there was an upstate new york boy who was the representative of united states in that negotiation that j. wadsworth, who was the son, the former congressman in the united states senator from new york. so now, we are going to have an agency that will really start moving on atoms for peace and that can have tremendous results. for one thing, if you had atomic energy on a commercial basis, it would free western europe. their dependance on middle eastern oil. that's just one illustration of the tremendous importance that thing. and the russians, you say are in this. yeah, they're in it. and, uh, do you consider or so far do you have any r

last week, i believe was my annual priority, the speech to the general assembly. as i said, that the world is facing it, but not as box of troubles. we face white thing to a point. so the fusions arising you the policies and assaults on human rights and we see a multiplication of conflicts, some of which are leading to the reshaping different spots of the wells. not please meet always. and that is finally a measured involve whether ceasefire and the subject lives viewing jobs. the takes place and we are working through sets up this, this briefly needed the many teddy and aids. it was also just the lab and on where it is associated will assume it is used holdings. and then you'll government is thinking shaped after to use the same lines from the me, the least to view could i into so that and beyond we still face and battle, but we will have a de, bob calling for peace. but please get all the bids on cell use view and shots of international law including international humanitarian law. and the pretty easy process of what i need to put me to call you dependence. and

you all the permanently lose his political power, all might even get back into office to the general assembly and catch with us in the soul. thank you very much. and all 3 of the far rides, freedom party has been off to the form of government. this follows the collapse of coalition towards between centrist policies, the countries president, and extend the fund that belin has tossed the leader of the freedom party. you have a kick off with forming a new government if he's successful in australia, would have its 1st government led by a far right policy since world war 2. this predicted that and we were the believe would change the course of the country's future. soon the far right feet the body would lead the government. its leader heard particularly now has the job to fund a new government. a decision many here disapprove of their phones as we speak. what's happening right now was very important for us and got a right wing extremists, politician who's calling himself the people's chancellor fits. and the last time someone called himself that that was 8 of hitler, that this person might get a m

you all the permanently loose his political power, all might even get back into office to the general assembly and catch with it's in . so thank you very much. and for the united states now um at least 5 people have been killed after a pa, for windows stall, and broad freezing conditions and heavy snowfall to the midwest and the east coast . some areas of seeing the heaviest, snow full in decades the united states as being pummeled by a mass of winter storm system, ice and snow, but a deep freeze on this highway in ohio as traffic ground to a standstill for 7 hours in kansas city. elbow grease was the only way be stranded motorists could get back on the road. as the snow continued to pile up, forcing the governor to send out the national guard in some regions. further south, the snowfall cause travel chaos for states not used to heavy smell. like here in louisville, kentucky is airport across the u. s. over 2000 flights were canceled. and 20000 more delayed. and some locals have already lost patients with a near record snowfall. how can do ours? and with more snow on the way, it's already back

as you rightly said, it is a thin majority that we have in the general assembly. it is 21-19.e line, a woman's right to choose, number one, is on the line. the constitutional amendment is on the line. my opponent has clearly said she will vote against it and she will ban abortion, so that's clearly on the line. common sense gun safety is on the line. investing in public education is on the line. investing in climate change is on the line. we are two years of majority two years ago in the general assembly, and democrats did amazing things. when we had trifecta, we did outstanding work. so as you rightfully said, we have the chance to have a trifecta next november, but it starts with this important election. that's why i'm running. i'm the son of two schoolteachers. i'm the first american immigrant elected to the virginia house of delegates, and i am very excited about this. i have knocked on thousands of doors, people want to hear, people want to push back, people are concerned about many things, including the new administration. >> you know, mr. singh, the delegate makes a rea

yet this council and the general assembly availed countless sessions fixated on protecting this broken vehicle, losing sight of the real priority, the people it is meant to serve, the surfaces, the education -- services, the education, valve cleanings. it is time to abandon the illusion that a compromised agency achieves anything meaningful. funds and efforts must no longer stain an organization blacked by this function and infiltrated by terror. the focus must shift to supporting other organizations that are untainted, accountable, and generally committed to protective development. israel is more than ready and willing to work with agencies with proven track record of efficiency and accountability. agencies have already begun to fill the void left by unrwa's failures. and with increased support, they can do even more. the international community must make these efforts a priority rather than turning a blind eye to corruption and collaboration with terrorism. the defenders of unrwa often argue that its termination would create a humanitarian crisis. this is a falsehood. >> we are going

administration, notably i see america's mayor, steve benjamin, mayor reggie burgess, the members of the general assembly, my two little children and to the royal missionary baptist church family , we have come this far by faith! that is a him, don't worry -- hymn, don't worry, i'm not going to sing it, mr. president. i was told long ago that singing is not my calling. if you look out gathered here today in this place of sanctity and love, we've come this far by faith is a rallying cry that has always been our bridge over troubled waters. you see, this faith inspired my morehouse brother, the late dr. martin luther king, to stand before the crowd in washington, d.c., some 62 years ago and declare the words i have a dream, which would change the fabric of this nation and bring us today as we celebrate him. as i think about the honorable task that has been given to me by my good friend and sister baxter, and reverent hope, to introduce the president of the united states, my mind reflects on the greek words, alpha and omega. the beginning and the end. when i think of this occasion and the work that presiden

that was locked in in 2020 as the 1st most form to the dollar general assembly. at the time i was $26.00 the what's going on in palestine, the genocide and gaza and being outspoken about that. i've definitely felt very isolated. not just among legislators, but among democrats. the okay, great. thank you. recognizing that humanitarian crisis and gaza in supporting an immediate and lasting ceasefire veteran speakers. because the 3rd and final reading of house concurrent resolution $125.00 only for pm. listen, anton house concurrent resolution number 125 years before on the i feel a very strong emotional connection to the families that are being murdered and traumatized and starved. they like this that we focus on just how destructive with this massacre is to the lives of thousands of all ages, especially the children the the or the, what do i do in this moment to make the biggest impact bring the message of what's going on and cause a to that room and record it and make sure that it gets out of that room. and just the, i don't regret anything that i've said or that

last week, i delivered annual priorities speech to the general assembly and i said if our world is facing a pandora's box of troubles, we face widening geopolitical divisions, rising inequalities and assault on human rights. we see a multiplication of conflict, some of which are leading to the reshaping of different parts of the world, not least the middle east. and there is finally a measure of hope when a ceasefire and hostage release teal in gaza takes place and we are working to surge up needed humanitarian aids. i was just in lebanon where the cessation of hostilities is holding and a new government is taking shape after two years of stalemates. from the middle east to ukraine to sudan and beyond, we still face and uphill battle. but we will never give up in calling for peace. but peace grounded on values. the u.n. charter, international law, including international humanitarian law, and the principles of sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity of states. meanwhile, developing countries are an -- are in economic dire straits. some are facing double digit inflati

general assembly condemned israel's right to defend itself and demand israel and unlawful presence inoccupied palestinian territory, it has also attempted to recognize palestine as the state. in programs such as unrwa have actively assisted terrorists. i remember being in the hezbollah terror titles in late august of 2023. seeing what washa planned, if yu walk down with idf soldiers to see spray-painted in arabic on a way to jerusalem, and little did we knoww when we were touring those hezbollah terror tunnels between israel and lebanon, that weeks later the worst terror attack in israel's history would occur october 7, 2023. comments to fonda, if confirmed you have to be a stalwart advocate for use interest. but what i couldte not be more pleasede with president trump's moral clarity on the difficult issues as alleged wass happening in the real. secretary rubio, great to see him sworn in today. you as being our next ambassador to the united nations, ambassador huckabee nominated for israel, this will be a great team that has moral clarity on these difficult issues. you will be a stal

diplomatic pressure, their role in the multilateral system, at the un security council, the general assemblyotecting civilians in the gaza conflict, the us actually played an obstructionist role. exercising its veto multiple times. that has not gone unnoticed by the whole world. but in particular by china and russia who have been actively trying to undermine the human rights system and the principles of human rights, have used it as an excuse to say look at what america is saying that human rights apply to some people but not others. it's a dangerous president has been set. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. home secretary yvette cooper has announced a three—month national review into grooming gangs. it's a shift in the government's position on an issue that has become an international controversy — following comments made by the billionaire elon musk. critics want the government to go further and launch a national inquiry. hospitals in england were at their busiest so far this winter last week with 96% of beds occupied. flu co

follows being fav or $172.00 against 7 extension's age drop the resolution to ease adopted the un general assembly passed the resolution with over whelming support palestinian rights were declared as unconditional and no negotiable, adding to them. i meant them 9 more countries officially have recognized palestine as a southern state, bringing the total close to $150.00 norway was among the latest adjoining this growing least the audience. the norwegian government has decided that norway will recognize the palestine as a state in the midst of a war with tens of thousands killed and injured. we must keep alive the only alternative that offers a political solution for israelis and palestinians alike. 2 states living side by side in peace and security, they told me i mistake the things, but the palestine future lies uniquely in the hands of the international community . what happens next? largely depends on what is ro backed by the us ones. but what does the israel feel about this vision of peace and quiet existence? go to infinity for my insistence is what prevented for years the establishment of a

that's more than one quarter of the makeup of the general assembly of the united nations. how those are important votes when it comes to issues that both countries are interested in. they're interested in long term global power, both countries that are interested in norm setting. and this is perhaps the most contentious area today, where the us and the western countries of traditionally set most international norms. and china doesn't like some of them and would like to change them. so it's trying to get the global south, particularly the african countries, to follow its views on norm, citing, dealing with digital decisions. for example. how do you think that competition to play out under donald trump? so i think that you will not see a significant difference between the way it played out 1st and the for and the 1st trump administration. on the one hand, the bind administration which more or less continued it and what will be now the 2nd trump administration, i think you're going to see essentially a repeat of where there's frankly a lot more talk. then there is action beca
