russia of sabotaging the work of the security council, his boss, us ambassador to the un linda thomas greenfield a press conference. six votes in its favor, which is three less than necessary, but already more than on monday, the representative of china made it clear that if meetings were disrupted in this way and further, the work of the security council could, in principle , be paralyzed. different members of the security council may have different points of view on conflicts, but despite the disputes, maintaining cooperation, at least on procedural issues, is the least we can do. and until there is no consensus even on procedural issues, russian diplomats have promised. in the thirtieth year, to build another fifty bypass roads, details were told about the first moscow-kazan section in plans by deputy prime minister marat khusnulin. the route from st. petersburg to vladivostok, we have broken her at all stages. for example, i can say that the section from st. petersburg to moscow, bypassing tver, will be launched on july 17 of this year, that is, this section will be completely ready, then th

so many times while the us and best of the, to the un linda thomas greenfield said that the fundamentals were what the us supported to you, and that is the call for an immediate and sustainable ceasefire. now what she also said is that us is not entirely happy with the language used often this resolution, and that refers to the legs off a condemnation of home us and their attack on october 7 on israel as well as the hostage question. however, the us decided to side with the security council with china, with russia, with the 22 of nations at the united. they represented that the united nations in this resolution to call for a ceasefire before this about israel had warned washington that if it's a didn't veto it, then the delegation of that was of venice in washington a would be called back. so prime minister benjamin netanyahu has made good on his promise. how is washington responding? of the difference of line is from the white house. that's the us and the why. those is very close, very disappointed. however you have gone to the israeli defense minister is in washington. today and he is

linda, thomas greenfield, plenipotentiary of the united states to the united nations. conditions cane applied in relation to china to russia, this may not even be dreamed of, of course, and if american diplomacy insists on this, it is felt that there is some kind of weakness in its position, but still, speaking essentially, it’s an interesting idea, although we of course know that we will be deceived, but it is very important to understand how exactly... we will be deceived in this proposal, i’ll start with china, that the proposal of the united states to start negotiations on nuclear weapons control with china, this is actually from the realm of fantasy, china and the united states have their own communication channel of the top military leadership, it was interrupted after nancypilosi’s visit, well, after a year and a half or even earlier, china, the united states was restored, and therefore recently there were online negotiations. yesterday, the deputy head of the soviet mission, the russian mission, fen polyansky, he said everything on this topic, but what did he say, and i don’t

a position that was reiterated at the united nations by the us ambassador linda thomas greenfield. we've asked the haitian prime minister to do is move forward on a political process that will lead to the establishment of a presidential transitional council that will lead to elections. and we think that it's urgent that it's urgent that he moves forward in, in that direction. and start the process of bringing normalcy back to to the people of haiti as the united nations security council takes up the issue of the crisis and escalating violence in haiti. there is also the question about whether or not the united states will send troops to support the haitian national police. it's security operations, the latest word from the national security council spokesperson, john kirby, however, is that the 5 ministration will not send troops. instead, what the bottom the administration is proposing is to mobilize support through with international partners to support and restore security as well. we know that the by the administration senior government officials is in contact with senior gover

reminder that we are expecting to hear in the next while from the us ambassador to the un, linda thomas greenfieldleaders are meeting in brussels, where they are discussing the israel—gaza war as well as the war in ukraine. they're examining this question — could the profits from frozen russian financial assets be used to pay for weapons for ukraine? ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky is also expected to take part. in kyiv, at least 13 people are reported to have been injured, as the city came under missile attack during the night. mr zelensky is expected to ask the west to show the "political will" to deliver air defence systems. the head of the united nations children's agency, unicef, says it is unable to get enough aid into haiti and that "many, many people" are suffering from serious hunger and malnutrition. this comes as gangs still control more than 80% of the capital port—au—prince and the country lacks a functioning government. our central america and caribbean correspondent will grant reports. to describe some of the living conditions in port—au—prince as "precarious" is an understat

now if i can, francis, all the spotlights is on the us, some basta to the united nations, linda thomas greenfield. you, i know we've had postings to 4 different countries as a us on boss of the, you know, the pressure is but she must be under a great deal of pressure here. and i just wanna bring in a little bit of my own reporting cuz i've been based at the u. n. for the last 11 years for i, which is 0. and i've had a number of conversations with her in recent months. and with me, she sticks to the official us line, but i've been told by a number of senior security council diplomats that she's increasingly uncomfortable in her role and uncomfortable with her countries policy. and yet she's the one who has to stick a hand up in vito if those, if that reporting is correct and i can only tell you that's what people are telling me. how difficult must that be. it certainly is difficult, but she is a professionals professional and she has a, a, an oath of office and a deep professional and personal loyalties to her office and her responsibilities under the constitution. but this question leads to a fol

and linda thomas greenfield, the u. s. investigators of the united nations repeated several times. her speech wasn't very long, but it was long enough to repeat several times that everything that we're seeing happening now as a result of what i'm austin on october, the 7th and the russian invested are actually spoke of how he said that brush account allow the un security council to be used for the us, the us destruction of the middle east. james. why would they us bring this resolution to the security council? when do you think that it had a good idea that it couldn't cost? i think they thought perhaps it would causes otherwise they wouldn't have brought it to the council. but i think in the, in the last hour or 2 hours or 3 as before, i think they would've got the word as i was getting to get the word that they were going to have serious problems here. but i think the timing is not, i don't need to do with the governments of the security council. this was a big us push going on in the last 48 hours, which is still ongoing in the region. you got several things happening simultaneou

today, the us ambassador to the security council, linda thomas—greenfield, said a ceasefire can begintely, but only with the release of the first hostage. certain key edits were ignored, including the inclusion - of the condemnation of hamas. and we did not agree _ with everything in the resolution. for that reason, we were - unfortunately not able to vote yes. however, as i've said before, we fully support some - of the critical objectives in this non—binding resolution, - and we believe it was important for the council to speak out - and make clear that our ceasefire must — any ceasefire — _ must come with the release of all hostages. _ but this us abstention will further strain already tense relations between israel and washington. a delegation of israeli security officials that was supposed to travel to the us this week will now stay at home. the israeli defence minister yoav gallant was already in washington to discuss israel's planned offensive in rafah. from the white house this afternoon — outside, not within the gates. translation: we have no moral right to stop the war _ in
