permanent members of the security council's have to be discussed and have to be asked if in one or the other states they contribute to a solution i think that's the heart of diplomacy if you don't do this and if you leave people out you will not reach but and if not there ca to other than discussing i mean you know we know for example that there are already sanctions on russia could we see further shame sanctions for example in concrete terms how high could the pressure go. well i think the sanctions on russia you have to relate to a special contract and to this we have not debated today and i think generally germany will be also well at least if they do it step by step if new situations occur and not being so. we want to thank you very much barbara locke feeler joining us with the latest from new york as we mentioned you are a member of the european parliament from the german green party and you have been following events at the security council today we appreciate your insight. well the german national soccer team have ended their five game winless run seeing off minnows saudi arabia

the security council called on all of the parties to the conflict to do everything possible to ensure that they protect civilians and they make sure that civilians have access to food and medicines that water all the things they need in order to survive you know humanitarian law is a collective responsibility all of the member states the united nations all the countries world are responsible for upholding it so when the security council calls on the parties of the conflict to do what they are obliged to do what they are undermining is the collective responsibility ensure that innocents billion survive but again given that the more and posh knees are not listening to these calls and have not signed fall for the better part of the three year war is that enough. you know a number of steps have been taken during the war to protect civilians we have for example that deconstruction mechanism in place includes a nose for our list of more than twenty thousand locations sir hospital and schools and very important public infrastructure that civilians depend on and or to just buy all the parties
