security council. their security council we can make their presence in this body very uncomfortable. we have already done it. let me quote again. uh, mr. zelensky, this is what he addresses to the security council, if you are not capable of anything other than talking, then maksim anatolyevich and what the security council is capable of besides talking, we can still count on for some adequate investigation of what happened near kiev, we don't, i think, because there, but two against 13. if china is on our side, then it's not a fact. i think that one against thirteen, russia, and that is, the call, including mrs. funderlein, who is clearly not for us, and we should not somehow consider with hope. well actually the chinese position. it is clear that an examination is always necessary, if someone will conduct it. the head of our military has an internal conviction that they are right, then one should be afraid of no investigations, but it is also understandable, obviously, these should not be those countries that the united nations can somehow contribute to. at least the beginning of pre

warned that it would bolster its defences, should sweden and finland join nato. russian security council council deputy chairman to meet him and yet have said there would be no more talk of a nuclear free baltic region if the countries were to join the military alliance, and that it would strengthen its forces to quote, restore balance, to the area ukraine. says it is reopening humanitarian cor doors to allow the evacuation of civilians from war torn areas. it says 9 routes would be opened in the east and south, including one from the besieged city of nati. opal. reopening comes just a day after the roots are close on safety grounds. austria and chancellor call. ne hammer says vladimir putin told him that monday's meeting in moscow, russia would not turn off his gas applied to austria. now they hammer says austria can also continue to pay russia in euro's austria, gets 80 percent of its natural gas from russia, and opposes an immediate e u. embargo. and he made me devastating floods triggered by heavy rains in south africa. durbin area have claimed over 300 lives president cyril ram, opposed to

security council is similar to discussion. we had around 20012002. and when the united, when the united states wanted the resolution allowing or demanding the nation will be rock, we don't have government. the security council is the best we thought cannot act without all the permanent 5 members of the security council agreeing. or at least not the 2. and that's, of course russia, united states is the united kingdom it's, it's france. and it is china today, the people's republic of china. now it's the best we've got, the un security council zalinski is calling for a reform of that council to not let permanent member russia go unpunished. there have been calls for such reform before. could this war now be the impetus to push for that change? perhaps some kind of mechanism to override a veto with enough support for member nations. i think that we have to take any opportunity to reforming the meeting is strengthened the united nations and indeed the security council. however, it's not very likely that countries which today won't action against russia, that they would accept that they themselves should be subjected to any override. and that's the problem that the international lawyers conscious decide something

he's actually talking about un security council reform to the actual security council itself. and that has to be noted that's going to be a landmark criticism of the own security council and rochester, and just on the point of, well, what zalinski had to say. i mean, one more thing that he really did speak about is bringing justice immediately and he kept calling for accountability. that's absolutely right. and that's been echoed by the legal system here in ukraine. and now what he's calling for is international accountability. one special tribunals. he want something similar to what happened after the 2nd world war. and the nuremberg trials were people who were responsible for the crimes who gave the orders were actually punished. he's looking for something like that. now within the ukraine legal system itself. and people who are involved in the area, they say that if we call gay international justice, we will do it here at home. we will bring people to trial here in ukraine, even if we have to do it in absentia. even if we can't get russians to, if we can't get russians. expe

security council since the invasion, and he is demanding action at what can the body do besides offering a platform for publicly shaming russia. unfortunately, because of the russian veto in the security council, i, it is not clear that the security council could take immediate action. but the un, the us should address these serious war crimes that are being commanded in ukraine . these crimes should be investigated and refer to the international criminal court . and furthermore, the countries of the o, i am a particular, the democracies. i need to lean on russia, do everything that can get rushed to exit your crime. russia needs to leave your crime and be told that it is non negotiable, that believe every inch of ukrainian territory. where's the euro need to make sure there's a pendant? as a lensky is calling for a reform. ok, we've just lost our gas bear. that was richard painter, professor, professor of law at the university of minnesota. we'll see if we can bring him back into the show later on. for now though, let's turn to our next story. russia has denied accusations that its troops committed. war crimes in boucher reclaims the bodies found on boutros. the streets only appeared after i

security council. president zelenskyy yesterday calling out the security council, saying that the u.n. sts and yet there is no security in the world for anyone. what he's doing is he's questioning the very purpose and mandate of that body. how is he wrong? >> well, he's not wrong to question what the russians are doing and the security council. the security council was established to -- >> what i'm saying is questioning the power of the entire body, including what they can do. because what he's saying is they're supposed to be looking over the security of the world, and one of the members sitting on that body, yes, with veto power, is the one committing these atrocities. what security are they providing? >> again, on that front he's not wrong. the security council is there to address threats to peace and security. it's been that way since the end of world war ii. russia is subverting that just as it is subverting every other principle that has undergirded the peace, prosperity and security of the world war ii post era. you take a look at the system and you see that 140 countries in vari

crimes by a permanent member of the un security council and so it is certainly understandable to call attention to both the russian presence on the security councila has but frankly in my view, focusing on the role of the security council and its constraints are not the thing that will help ukraine at this time. , , «a time. president zelensky thinks exactly the _ time. president zelensky thinks exactly the opposite, _ time. president zelensky thinks exactly the opposite, why - time. president zelensky thinks exactly the opposite, why don't| exactly the opposite, why don't theyjust kick russia out? i know they cannot but russia has broken plenty of international laws and rules in recent weeks, why cannot the un throughout it's own rules and kick russia out? , ., . ., , , out? they would certainly be well deserved _ out? they would certainly be well deserved to _ out? they would certainly be well deserved to do - out? they would certainly be well deserved to do so - out? they would certainly be well deserved to do so but . well deserved to do so but there is no mechanism to expel russia from the security council, it is called a permanent seat for

security council. that'll never happen, right? >> no, it can't because the way that would happen is that the security council itself needs to recommend to the u.n. general assembly to kick a member out of the u.n. for not upholding its values. so the security council will never do that. >> never do it. >> what about the question that former ambassador james jeffrey suggested? he said obviously you'll never get a peacekeeping zone or a safe zone in ukraine if you go through the security council, but he suggested perhaps you do it going through the general assembly and set it up in a certain way. is that a possibility? >> no, because the peacekeeping missions are done under what's called chapter 7 of the u.n. charter, and it's only the security council that has the ability to do that. peacekeeping missions in general don't work unless there's an actual peace to keep, a lesson we learned from the war in the balkans. to further highlight and underscore why it would have been so amazing to have someone like madeleine albright now because she dealt with a situation where you had genocide, you had atrocities, you had a government that was c

nato that can take operational action that don't necessarily need a security council agreement or declaration by the security councild more importantly, the security council itself has a lot of -- i mean, it has agencies, u.n. high commissioner for refugees, various agencies that help with humanitarian issues. what's really getting under my skin right now is the fact that unlike in other situations where we've had a hard time bringing a conflict to an end let's say in bosnia, for example, we did see the united nations and multi-lateral organizations actively trying to alleviate suffering on the part of the civilians. >> sure. but the -- >> go ahead. >> but the security council at this moment. who in the world can look at the security council with any sort of reverence of any kind i mean, it is feckless at very best people have been trying to reform it for years. here we are in the middle of a conundrum that is embarrassing to hear from zelenskyy >> yeah, it is embarrassing. we let down rwanda we let down the rohynga. no one has done anything to stop russia in that context either. again, i think that that means -- th

the fact that when the reports are then transmitter to new york to the security council and the security council is blocked because of russian vetoes, which we can assume would also happen if the supposed attack and mario pole would be investigated that way and reported then to to new york to the security council that does not diminish the value and the validity of these mechanisms. and these tools that we have alexander keller, from the institute for peace research and security policy. thank you. you're very welcome. well, here are some of the other headlines on the war in ukraine. nearly 2 thirds of ukrainian children have been forced to leave their home since russia invited 6 weeks ago, according to the when they also expressed concerns over human trafficking and the sexual abuse of minus russian president vladimir putin has said that his military campaign in ukraine will achieve its noble objectives. he made the remarks as he met that, a routine president, alexander shank, add a space port in eastern russia to mark the international day of human space flight russian opposition thinker. vladi

other hand, also criticizing the united nations security council itself, or it's inaction and basically calling for a reform of the united nations security council. it's important to stress that the united nations security council has one of that key un institutions, holes. a lot of power, for example, has the capacity to present binding resolutions. yet at the same time, the 5 permanent members of that security council have a veto power. and one of those 5 members is russia, which basically means that on this particular case, it is very difficult to have concrete action from the united nations security council. and that was something that mr. savanski with this particular sound might but more in general with his age clearly tried to criticize. that's why he was asking for more action coming from the united nations security council. and now the atrocities, sir, that have been perpetrated in boucher that the world has seen and leaders and people around the world are shocked by the images. a news coming out of their talk just a little bit about what effect that has had on germany and german leaders. well, germany as well as other european countrie

united nations security council. security council. ukrainian hospital. >>> hello and welcome to "amanpour & company" from kyiv, ukraine. here is what's coming up. as president zelenskyy makes a desperate call for action at the united nations security council, we see the physical toll of war with a special report inside a ukrainian hospital. >>> then as lithuania becomes the first eu country to quit russian gas, their prime minister will join me. >>> and some of ukraine's prisoners pof war return home n and the international committee of the red cross on the desperate efforts to getid in d civilians out. >>> also ahead, former u.s. treasury secretary larry summers tells walter isaacson that russia's war is taking a heavy toll on the global economy.

he also says, where's the security that the security council guarantees excuse the council doesn't work effectively. and this was a very key part of the speech. he basically accused the united nations that a security council of failing. he said, the united nations is there to maintain peace. russia violated article one. so what's the point of the other articles? now, he went on to say that russia is going to blame every one. and they'll say that these events and mutual stage, but they are, but we will investigate. we will involve the i, c, c, the international criminal court. that's going to be difficult because russia isn't a signatory to that particular international body, but he's got they got the ukrainians are going to push that as far as i can. he also said, sorry, the rest of the war criminals in the world, that if the biggest criminal russia can be punished, they all will be. but he then said, if russia gets away with this, then there is no international law. he need to act immediately. the security council needs to be reformed. the veto can't be the right to die and who is refe

security council. very difficult. it is one of the 5 permanent members of the security council, a council, which was meant to guarantee security around the world guarantee, a rule based international order here being accused of war crimes, that is a very uncomfortable position for a permanent member to be and, and it does seem as though the lensky and ukraine wants to add to that discomfort as much as they can. all right, thanks so much from mcbride. of all of them is that and sky is expected to address the un security council for the 1st time on tuesday. in the run up to that meeting, western and russian diplomats have traded accusations about what happened and butcher kristen salome has mall from un headquarters in new york. the united kingdom sat, a security council meeting on tuesday would focus on boucher amid growing outcry over alleged atrocities there. it'll be the 1st opportunity the security counsellors had to discuss the images that we've seen in broucher, which you've heard widely over the weekend. described both his war crimes and his genocide, so we really are facing the true reality of the appalling rus

the security council can evaluate, but the security council can not judge the worst thing that the unitedecurity council can do is the adoption of a decision on the establishment of a peacekeeping missions. it can be a peacekeeping operation, such a lighter version, or it can be a hard military option, which is called a peace enforcement operation, but with all this, it reminds me that the russian federation has the right to veta in the security council and i think that even if some text is received. then our special representative, vasily alekseevich nebenzya, will follow very carefully , uh, how the specific provisions will be formulated, because, again, let me remind you, the events. uh, almost a decade ago, associated with libya. there, in general, a very well formulated mandate, which was, e, fixed in the resolution of 1973 of the security council. uh, the practical implementation of the provisions was, in general, very, very doubtful. if not to say, as it were , with harsher wording regarding the security council, and the second point today, the word the hague was also heard several

he addressed a meeting of the un security council after visiting ochoa on monday to lansky sharply criticized the security council for its inability to stand up to russia's aggression. as a permanent member of the council, russia has the power to veto any binding resolution, making the body powerless to act against it's war on ukraine. and i asked richard painter, professor of law at the university of minnesota. whether there was an avenue by which russia could be stripped of its un security council. vito, i don't believe that that's going to happen in the united nations. and we have a permanent, that membership of the security council for russia, as well as the united states and, and it's china, france, and got great britain. and it's going to be impossible, i think, to remove russia from that role. and yet, there are many other avenues for addressing russian aggression. there's nato, there is the european union, there's economic pressure that needs to be brought on russia. and it, this may have to happen for an extended period of time. because russia needs to be told they're just non negotiable, that they leave

you know, we're all thinking, when it gets to the security council, the security council will have two vetoes at least. it will be russia and it will be china. not so in the general assembly and they can stand up a court and they can do it tomorrow that would indict vladimir putin on the next day. there's certainly enough evidence -- keep building, of course. there's enough evidence right now and that hopefully will tell everyone around him, the time will come when you will be on the dock as well. i remember meeting with those in the balkans. milosevic thought he was untouchable, impunity because of that and he killed so many because there was no accountability. well, he went to the hague as part of the ad hoc tribunal and he died while the proceedings were under way but he would have been held to account. so i urge my colleagues to support this. you know, we already had one vote in the general assembly. 141-198 voted. the number of people abstained. you only need a simple majority. and i did ask our number two at the state department, gregory meeks hearing earlier today to take back t

shocked and this will affect the agenda for the security council meeting we scheduled for tuesday the russians contacted us to have the security councile these two security councils. it turns out the events in the butch, the main theme of the speech of western politicians are accusations of terrible crimes. but to get together to discuss the situation in detail, no one not in a hurry at a press conference, nebenzya cited inconsistencies in the ukrainian version of events, which the western media have already called the massacre in bucha, mayrbych merbuchiy, in his video message on march 31, called the withdrawal of russian troops a victory for the ukrainian army. it is curious that he did not mention any mass atrocities and flying of murdered graves about anything like that. it is hard to imagine that the mayor of the city could forget about it. he looks pretty smiling. it is hard to imagine that all this is happening after reznik street on march 31 will go down in the history of our settlement, as the day of liberation, this joyful day is the great victory of our armed forces in the kiev region.

country participating in the security council could not convene a meeting of the prince , it is unprecedentedly unthinkable that we were refused to convene the security council, risking serious consequences in matters of international security of the western delegation at all recently hastily convened a meeting of the security council on the availability of education for women in afghanistan so you can see for yourself what priorities they have for western countries if the security council convenes russia so how can this break the anti-russian agenda that they are promoting the british envoy, explaining her refusal, did not even remember the name of the city by the events in which she seems shocked buchu called a brooker, regarding the footage from the broker that showed up over the weekend you are all shocked and this will affect the agenda of the meeting of the security council that we scheduled for tuesday, representatives of russia contacted us, to hold a security council meeting on monday. we decided to combine these two social services. events come out. in the bush. the main theme of the speech of western politicians is accusations of terrible crimes.

security council, and he came up with an unusual initiative there. yes, although for him, probably, it’s usual either to see through the security council if he cannot condemnussia or expel russia from the security council if she has the right to impose, uh, a veto on any decision of the security council. e. well, how to take it? we heard it many times not only from president zelensky but this is a ukrainian victim, uh, who uh calls us uh calls us the former ussr who illegally sits in the seat of the security council but uh, i don’t want to answer him even once, i didn’t do that, that he will ban the former ukrainian ussr who also got a seat, a seat he uh, thanks actually to the soviet union uh, well, the talk is that someone can connect us from the security council. they are not based on anything at all. although now nothing can be ruled out, because already in such a world where where everything rules where all the rules have become completely irrelevant. today, today, an american portrait announced that the united states will try to try to exclude russia from the human rights councils. uh, well, theoretically it can be done uh, but the safety tips us. it

security council after evidence emerged of what appeared to be a deliberate mass killing of civilians by russian troops in the city of boucher outside the ukrainian capital. as the landscape sharply criticized the security council for failing to take action to end russia's aggression. as a permanent member of the council, russia has the power to veto any binding resolution. only a day after returning from boucher ukrainian president de lensky addressed the killings in front of the u. n. lee, so the russian military search for and purposely killed any one who served our country. they shot and killed women outside their houses when they just tried to call someone who was alive, they killed entire families, adults and children. and they try to burn the bodies slowly the, your la zalinski said russia must be held accountable for its actions in ukraine. he questioned the inability of the security council to punish russia due to moscow's veto power, the ro yoga. but we are dealing with a state that is turning the un security council veto into the right to die. this undermines the whole architecture of global security. it allows them to go unpunished, so they are destroying everything they can. now when it was factual

have _ nations and un security councils have always _ nations and un security councilster. they _ have always saved india. for prime minister, they make _ have always saved india. for prime minister, they make this _ minister, they make this announcement in an interview and says i want an immediate cease—fire which is a slight toughening of the position given they've had this position given they've had this position of neutrality and invasion, that kind of took a little bit of pressure of borisjohnson and there's same commission should have been out there, wagging fingers publicly, but pressing its income on, we really need you to use your influence on russia to split one of the things borisjohnson has been saying, i imagine is in the street deal is that we should be buying arms from britain instead of india. britain has very large arms industry thatis britain has very large arms industry that is part of it. i wonder how much modi has been getting a boost from boris arrival as others pick posters up on the street saying welcome borisjohnson and all sorts of problems at

security council. we are awaiting his remarks as well at that security council meeting. under secretary general is speaking but we will bring you president zelenskyy's remarks as soon as they come. guy: absolutely. brilliant to hear what he has to say given with the latest pictures have shown happening in his country. how forceful will he be? we have seen additional sanctions put into place by the eu today. what comes next? we will hear about what comes next next. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> we are about one hour into the u.s. training session -- trading session. the market responds. >> earlier we were looking at the increase paid now are looking at a decline. kaylee referring to that exclusive interview by michael mckee with the kansas city fed president who basically indicated the fed could start draining the balance sheet as early as may. it's not a huge selloff. where we do have deeper declines , china tech of course. a little bit of coolness there down 3.4%. can't wait to look at the chart of been showing. higher yields not great. it brings into question valuation. the s

security council. the security council is agree. mm hm. some, some ministers plus the counselor who do everything in secret and they tell us we are doing good decisions. and after we delivered weapons, you can go to the secret office and look into secret papers and look what is the level. but i as a member of the parliament, are not convinced that those decisions are good and the german public is discussing it. and it is a democracy, it is ok if the germans discuss it. so we need more information about the general rules that our government has alex animal of a member of parliament for the german liberal party f t p. thank you very much. let's have a look at some of the other news now. police and new york city say they are looking for a person of interest who may be linked to a mass shooting in a subway station. they say the man hired a van possibly connected to the attack. at least 29 people were treated at hospitals for gunshot wound, smoke, ventilation, and other injuries. no motive is yet known with the attack and still on the loose ah,

security council. the russian ambassador started off accusing the president of the security council of outrageously denying request for a security council meeting because he had requested one specifically to talk about russi's accounts and claims about bucha and the u.k. president combined the meetings when we were going to be hearing from president zelenskyy and other officials who could give their accounts of what they are hearing from the u.n., which confirmed they have been hearing about the use of cluster munitions and the indiscriminate targeting of civilian populations, that they have verified accounts of what could be war crimes in russia. it is a very acrimonious environment and there's no lding back when it comes to you and officials and western nations and others who believe russia is using the council to spread lies and propaganda. lewis: let's take a closer look at what's happening in different parts of ukraine. another town near kyiv in the north may have suffered more than other towns abandoned by russian troops. these are the latest pictures we have from its destroyed streets. >> it is real

resident zelensky expressed the opinion that the security council is powerless and outdated, does the white house think that the security councilhe obviously spoke of his disappointment, which we share that russia is a permanent member of the un security council we do not see the possibility of this change. even jennifer i'm sorry for saying this. i respect jennifer psaki. she seriously works for her and that's it. such a plus she is a mother. that's when he leaves, then and then shame on himself. but right now we can't do that. here, even jennifer understands that it smells a little. well , some kind of idiotic populism. yes, and very delicately. e explains this even. sorry yes security council which hmm requires a detailed consideration of the discussion, shall we say. estonia has prepared for shipment to ukraine e, 122-millimeter howitzer d-30. the fight. supplies for small arms body armor this was announced by the estonian embassy in ukraine. in addition, estonia urged other states and europe to follow its example. tallinn calls not only to send weapons to ukraine, but also to continue strengthen sanctions against russia ye
