i know hope that the adoption of the global compact by the united nations general assembly will help raq in union to formulate its own migration policies and i'm proud to state that one hundred ninety two member states of the general assembly of united nations were able to agree on the text of this document and i do hope that it will serve as an inspiration for individual countries and also. in regions including the opinion now if you allow me one more question about slovakia also a little bit quite successfully for a follow rigorous external border protection which essentially means make it much harder for the migrants to reach europe i'm sure you can understand that is a european but as a un official do you think that's the right way to proceed to make it harder for migrants to reach the places of destination it's not about making it harder it's about. implementing policies you know that majority of european union member states are member of the of the zone which is the border free zone but in order to maintain. the external borders of schengen must be protected and obviously europe

there are no reporting lines between the united nations command and secretariat. madam president, the secretary-general in the upcoming high-level week of the united nations general assembly will discuss how he and the united nations system can for the support the party and how steps can be taken for peace, security and verifiable denuclearization of the korean council resolutions. it's a hope that the korean summit starting in a few hours in the plan summit between leaders of the united states and the dprk will further contribute to this process, thank you. i thank miss decarlo for her statement and i shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the united states. whether international sanctions succeed or fail, depends on the difference between words and deeds. sanctions are just words on a page unless they are effectively enforced. russia originally called for this meeting to discuss the implementation of sanctions against north korea. then they evidently changed their mind. but we thought the issue was important enough to bring forward and hav

secretary general of the united nations. your excellency, madam and government, excellencies, ladies and gentlemen. our world is suffering from a bad case of trust deficit disorder. people are feeling troubled and insecure. trust is at the breaking point .or our national institutions within countries, people are losing faith in political establishments. populism is on the rise. among countries, cooperation is less certain and more difficult, trust in global governance is fragile as 21st century challenges outpace 20th-century institutions and mindsets. we have never had a true system of global governance, much less a fully democratic one. weoss many decades, established solid foundations for international cooperation. they came together as united nations to build institutions and rules to advance our shared interests. we forged piece in troubled the thirdavoided world war. none of these can be taken for granted. today, world order is increasingly chaotic and foreign relations are less clear. universal values are being eroded,

foreign ministers of the arab league it's a it's a routine gathering that precedes the opening of the united nations general assembly summit and the ministers of foreign affairs of qatar saudi arabia and the united arab emirates were not there the meeting that gives you an indication that the. the blockade has created a situation where it would be extremely impossible to see a way out from this particular crisis any time soon unless key players particularly the united states of america which has huge leverage in the region steps in and try to convince all the parties to come around the negotiating table i thought it was interesting as well hashan i mean obviously laid out carter's position on many other things in the region but he didn't just stop at yemen and syria he talked about iraq as well he talked about libya the sort of i don't want to say forgotten conflict but the ones that perhaps don't grab the headlines as much anymore. very interesting particularly that. statement about yemen where the enemy is said that it's about time the or the parties come together put an end to the sufferings and

as the mainsembly representative body of the united nations offers to all the peoples and leaders of the world the opportunity to hear and be heard on an equal footing. your excellency's, the contribution made by the united nations to humanity has been the mets. the promotion of peace, human rights, protection standards for the environment, the sustainable development goals, and those were born principles in this very general assembly. the reality is that the work of the united nations is as relevant today as it was 73 years ago. alone asralism stands the only viable response to the global problems we are faced with. to undermine multilateralism will only lead to instability and to mistrust and polarization. world, millions of people are suffering from violence and war, and from the effects of climate change. uncertainty and fear are the daily lot for millions of human beings. inequality has deprived many societies of hope and and this lack of any hope in the future is exploited by some to divide communities, stirring up racism, xenophobia, and violence. represents the very antithesis

the united nations can only succeed to the degree that we as global leaders provide visionary leadership that transcends our ideological differences and now drew national interests over the road from the united nations the stark black monolith called the trump international tower which like its owner will loom over the rest of the week's proceedings mike hanna al-jazeera united nations all right let's go back to our top story now and efforts by world powers to salvage the iran nuclear deal the e.u.'s foreign policy chief has just announced the e.u. will set up a new mechanism to facilitate legal transactions with iran despite u.s. sanctions while she had a chance he joins us live now from new york she has the news top diplomats and the iranian foreign minister have been holding this joint press conference what more do they have to say. right a clear sign of global solidarity it wasn't just the e.u. but russia and china that took part in talks with the iranian foreign minister on the eve before donald trump is expected to mount a blistering attack on iran before the u.n. general assembly

is its member states the united nations is not some foreign body parachuted on the world it's not a divine intervention the united nations is its members and the more responsible members are the more democratic members dictatorships like of the fatah has sisi are irresponsible members of the united nations so while even cc's detractors would agree with him about pessimism about the future of the region alarmism about the fact that the really and a good number of states are being. dissolved like yemen syria libya and so on so forth and they also agree with him but the urgency and the need to resolve the policy in question but they also would say his detractors that a broken clock can also be right twice a day. and then of the day why are these things happening why is the region facing such momentous challenges why are the nation states be getting dissolved in the region and why is palestine not getting resolved what the answer is the a bill for the ccs of the middle east. these are the bible maniac firemen of the middle east they want to put off fires but they love. to just spr

equivocal terms that the question of international security is not in american domestic politics the united nations is not a part of the united states administration and would. dialogue can resume in this assembly from the same point and by the same person who left the dialogue table and walked away from the accord. beginning the dialogue starts with ending threats and unjust sanctions that negate the principles of ethics and international law so. our proposal is clear commitment for commitment not a violation for violation threat or threat and step for step. instead of talk about for talk. what iran says is clear no war no sanction assad no threats no bullying just acting according to the law and the fulfillment of obligations and we support peace and democracy in the entire middle east. because we consider nuclear knowledge and imperative and nuclear weapons prohibited as victims of terrorism in the past and today we have always been and will always remain in the forefront of genuine confrontation with the terrorism today we mourn the martyrdom of tens of innocent people. who were recently murder

know i would like to express our deepest condolences to the family of mr kofi annan and to the united nations on his passing. mahir was one of the most important symbols of the united nations promoting peace among nations. ladies and gentlemen the world is facing grave concerns grave challenges security challenges and economic challenges and political challenges that do not recognize any barriers and any boundaries this is a test to the united nations. if the international community. strives to achieve peace and security we must seek a comprehensive solutions according to international law and international resume lucian's you. while rejecting double standards and rejecting the rule of force. it is very important to have an international reference manifested in a legitimate order that respects the rule of law. we must. expedite the reform process of the united nations so that the organization is able to fulfill its role and fulfill the aims of the organization and to respond to the striations of all of their peoples this would allow us to achieve. lasting peace and sustainable society. and th

for better definition of responsibility between the united nations and the african union. i'd like to see by the end of the year a resolution adopted along these lines. we are strong in the face of terrorism when together we undertake responsibility to push back against all of the financing they're out of mana to do this together in the alliance for there's a hell we act in the name of development agriculture education. attacking the very root causes of terrorism and the very ways terrorists acquire weapons said point the seven point five billion dollars have already been pledged on. court together with all states and partners of the alliance these are just the first results and ones which must be built upon as you can see in each one of these crises these solution was not simply leaving states to their own devices nor acting in their stead nor imposing solutions but rather. to uphold the principle of sovereignty to engage in genuine regional cooperation and international cooperation this is the very triptych we shall lead us. two solutions to today's what i see only the c

defenders as well as former prosecutors and they're saying that the united states acts as if it is above the law that oh yes the nationals of every country can be tried apart from u.s. nationals and that the united states uses the. court as a political instrumental when it wants to do so and they cite the example of libya for example when they referred libya to the i.c.c. the united states was among the un security council member states that did so so criticism human rights defenders and former prosecutors that the united states feels that it is above the law and the reaction from the i.c.r.c. i.c.c. really diplomatic language but at the same time strether dismissing and not attaching really a lot of importance to what bolton said. let's move on to other news now lawyers for brazil's jailed former president reason are fairly new to silver say he's still fighting to vote in the next month's presidential election is topping opinion polls but is banned from standing corruption conviction the supreme court has rejected his latest appeal it is spent monday mazing with hers would be vice president fernando her dad he's expecte

the league of nations which was founded after the war was immediately replaced by the united nations in the aftermath of the second world war that. undoubtedly the united nations over its seventy three years of history had carried out enormous endeavors and accomplishing many achievements. of a great extent however it is also a fact that we need to admit that in time the united nations moved away from the cut precedent to meet the expectations of humanity for peace and welfare in particular the security council has taken such a form that it started serving the interests of its five permanent seat holders at the security council with veto rights but standing idle to the oppressions in the other parts of the word the massacres in bosnia rwanda somalia recently in my own morally and in palestine as we speak have all taken place before the eyes of the united nations security council. those who remain silent against the oppression of the palestinians who refused the medicare in assistance for them are only increasing. the courage of the oppressors. even if the whole world turns its back we

the united states is committed to making the united nations more effective. and accountable i have said many times that the united nations has unlimited potential. as part of our reform effort i have told our negotiators that the united states will not pay more than twenty five percent of the un peacekeeping budget this will encourage other countries to step up get involved and also share in this very large bird. and we are working to shift more of our funding from assessed contributions to voluntary so that we can target american resources to the programs with the best record of success only when each of us does our part and contributes our share. can we realize the un's highest aspirations. we must pursue peace without fear hope without despair and security without apology. looking around this hall where so much history has transpired. we think of the many before us who have come here to address the challenges of their nations and of their times. and their thoughts turn to the same question that ran through all their speeches and resolutions to every word an

the league of nations, which was founded after the war, was immediately replaced by the united nations. in the aftermath of the second world war. nationsdly, the united over its 73 years of history has carried out enormous endeavors at accomplishing many achievements of a great extent. however, it is always a fact that we need to admit that in time, the u.n. moved away from the capacity to meet the expectations of humanity for peace and welfare. in particular, the security council has taken such a form that it started serving the interests of its five permanent seat holders of the security council but standing idle to the oppressions in the other parts of the world. the massacres in bosnia, rwanda, have all takenr, place before the eyes of the un security council. those who remain silent against the oppression of the are only increasing the courage of the oppressors. even if the whole world turns its back, we will continue to be on the side of the oppressed palestinians and will protect a historical and legal status of our first which is jerusalem. in many parts of the world, every day

to the united nations nikki haley. aid out a clear agenda for reform but despite reported and repeated warnings. no action at all. it was taken. so the united states took the only responsible course we withdrew from the human rights council. and we will not return until real reform is an act. for similar reasons the united states will provide no support and recognition to the international criminal court. as far as america is concerned the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no if. the i.c.c. claims near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country. violating all principles of justice fairness and due process. we will never surrender america's sovereignty to an unelected unaccountable global bureaucracy. america is governed by america we reject the ideology of globalism and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism. around the world responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty not just from global golf. but also from other new forms of coercion and domination. in america we believe st

of the population of this planet and the us has the greatest interest in hansen the role of the united nations the developing countries can ill afford to exist in an international order which is not governed by law. laws and lofty principles upon which the united nations was found or one that can be subject to polarization or attempts by some to dominate and impose their will on the members of the international community. let me sum up egypt's vision in three d. principles to which we have to renew our commitment and three cause as to which we must accord priority for the united nations to regain its effectiveness and role. the first such is that there can be no way forward towards actually having an effective international order if its main constituent units the nation state which is premised on the notions of citizenship democracy and equality is in danger to this integration i speak out of egypt unique experience where the egyptian people had made tremendous effort to restore their state and save their identity they chose the nation state as their vehicle for reform their just the code for

programs and last year and this year was a nonpermanent member of the united nations security council and against the backdrop of the g.c.c. crisis the has completely crippled the region kuwait stood out as a vocal voice of the united nations security council asking the international community to take actions against israel to protect civilians in gaza and occupied territory pushed was thwarted by the united states of america to the point where local media here in the u.s. was saying that senior. american officials were pretty pretty much frustrated with the leading role of us could wait was trying to play the united nations security council about the palestinian issue and this i think explains why the prime minister of kuwait said that it is about time to give the arabs a permanent voice within the united nations security council and that five nations cannot on their own dictate the political agenda for the rest of the world or right to hashem hobart there live for us from the united nations in new york thank you. now the u.s. president has chaired his first meeting at the u.

at the united nations security council meeting. hello and welcome i'm touchy my great to have your company as you mentioned u.s. president dollar trump is about to chair the u.n. security council in new york people have started gathering there waiting for him to come in and start his remarks and be of course go there live as soon as he starts speaking you're looking at pictures coming from the u.n. security council chamber sitting with me in the same. new deal is nicole rendered she's from the german council on foreign relations welcome to you was sitting here yesterday listening to donald trump's remarks at the united nations general assembly what are you expecting him to say today where you will repeat most of what he said yesterday so there will be a heavy emphasis on america first so you will outline again his foreign policy agenda and most likely you will focus on iran and tough sanctions he's expecting not only from the u.s. to be carried out but also from friends and partners so he will call for support of u.s. policy towards

to the united nations nikki haley laid out a clear agenda for reform. but despite reported and repeated warnings. no action at all was taken so the united states took the only responsible course we withdrew from the human rights council. and we will not return until real reform is an act. for similar reasons the united states will provide no support and recognition to the international criminal court. as far as america is concerned the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no authority. the i.c.c. planes near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country violating all principles of justice fairness and due process we will never surrender america's sovereignty to an unelected unaccountable global bureaucracy. america is governed by americans we reject the ideology of globalism and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism. around the world responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty not just from global governance but also from other new forms of coercion and domination in america we believe strongly in energy secured. fo

in this vain we urge the united nations-led peace process be reinvigorated. rest assured, the united states will respond if chemical weapons are deployed by the assad regime. i commend the people of jordan and other neighboring countries for hosting refugees from this very brutal civil war. as we see in jordan, the most compassionate policy is to place refugees as close to their homes as possible, to ease their eventual return to the heart of -- to be part of the rebuilding process. this approach also stretches finite resources to help far more people, increasing the impact of every dollar spent. every solution to the humanitarian crisis in syria must also include a strategy to address the brutal regime that has fueled and financed it, the corrupt dictatorship in iran. iran's leaders sew chaos, death and destruction. they do not respect their neighbors or borders or the sovereign rights of nations. instead, iran's leaders plunder the nation's resources to enrich themselves and to spread mayhem across the middle east and far beyond. the iranian people are right

true and let me take this opportunity today to assure you that you as a founding member of the united nations will continue to adhere to these ideals and to the principles of multilateralism as we first and president did challenges and threats to our community of nations if your past contribution to the united nations peace keeping is second to none we remain totally committed to this noble endeavor as we we reform and to the new and challenging realities of peacekeeping we fully indorse the secretary general of action for peace peacekeeping initiative and the declaration of the commitments to you and to the united nations peacekeeping to tackle the challenges peacekeeping faces today madam president six months ago a peaceful transfer of power took place in ethiopia it has opened a new chapter in our country's political history offering a realistic and genuine possibility of change that will meet the hopes and expectations of our useful population changes that are in line with the new political and democratic realities where we are implementing changes that have never that have been welcomed

president obama today of the united nations security council or by his national security advisor john bolton just a day or secretary of state pompei oh it seems that rouhani encouraged by his size from the international community the washer and china that he would like to maintain the new clear. deal decided to offer something different his words were carefully craft at the same time so that the biggest problem that the international community or the world face is the fact that the united states of america is acting like the ultimate bully in this world this is what he had to say. more money coming home to games will you know it cannot be our intent is to ensure that the u.s. abides by laws stops bullying stops pressuring maintains its commitments keeps promises they sign on to and it hears two u.n. security council resolutions we say do not sanction illegally unfairly and unjustly we say u.s. sanctions are inhumane and he legal if america becomes a law abiding country once more we have no problem with them but some issues between the u.s. and iran will have to be resolved. on that no

security climate change or human rights we say does not on the contrary strongly supporting the united nations about the continent that cares deeply about respect mutual understanding and solidarity between nations as leaders we must they creep the united nations with the means to fulfill its mandate facts faithfully. more unity and collective action are needed in the struggle against conflict poverty and famine terrorism and displacement of people of the kind we see in venezuela syria myanmar and many other places to that then the european union firmly supports the current effort to reform the un these reforms are badly needed and of a due diligence is clear and implementation is essential they repeat any union if they can call on more responsibility for security much as we have initiated operation among our own military. we are ready to step up to our neighbor through cry for management missions capacity building and peacekeeping in cooperation with our birth including nato the african union and the organization for security and cooperation in europe the union also supports the action for pe

there's a huge numbers given by the united nations over thirty thousand people fleeing the areas where the bombardment is taking place and going to different areas inside most of the people according to the united nations going into camps these are camps that are along the turkish border turkey's borders of course remain closed some people going to stay with relatives also others according to the united nations are an informal camps and others renting it just shows you the concern going forward particularly by turkey. potential civilian exodus towards its borders its borders remain closed as we've said and it has no intention of opening them up regardless of what happens it says it is on its own and it is that capacity when it comes to dealing with syrian refugees hosting already over three million inside turkey so what what they're doing to prepare for this they tell us that they already have material inside syria in the sense that they can be setting up more camps more tense also medical facilities tree our facilities if that is needed because they do expect if the offensive gets clo

making the united nations. relevant to all people global leadership and shared responsibility for peaceful equitable and sustainable societies. so we are here to make the united nations relevant to all people. this is indeed a lofty goal. the united nations. in the twenty first century is continuing its work in this area this is a century of great opportunities. and we feel assured that the twenty first century. will. lead to political gain valid and sent the leadership of the peoples. of which sooner rather than later will have a real impact on the future of the united nations. the united nations was born. in the heat of the end of the second world war in one thousand nine hundred forty five. and throughout the twentieth century it was to prevent conflict and it developed post-war development but that were road was a bipolar one at that time. after the fall of the soviet union. we moved into a uni pulled or were old. and the correlation of forces and the way the world looked had a real impact on the united nati

yemen has accused the united nations panel of bias and won't allow it to continue investigating human rights violations in the country. these government accuses the un of turning a blind eye to oppose the rebel violations in its latest reports the conflict in yemen escalated in twenty fifteen when the saudi led coalition started backing the government and launched air strikes against the. back to the events at the united nations and though president donald trump's rhetoric dominated the security council meeting on wednesday the main focus of the discussion was chemical biological and nuclear weapons it's a bit at the heart of several tense meetings in recent years but those discussions have rarely resulted in action as my town explains. this is the most exclusive political club in the world the high stakes table in the united nations to get a permanent seat in the game requires a unique buy in nuclear capability the issue under discussion with president trump in the chair the five permanent members were not only allies at the end of the second world war but were also nuclear powers no

that we reject the interference of foreign nations in this hemisphere and in our own affairs. the united states has recently strengthened laws to better screen foreign investments in our country for national security threats. and we welcome cooperation with countries in this region and around the world that wish to do the same you need to do it for your own protection. the united states is also working with partners in latin america to confront threats to sovereignty from uncontrolled migration tolerance for human struggling. and human smuggling and trafficking. is not you mane it's a horrible thing that's going on at levels that nobody is ever seen before it's very very cruel. and illegal immigration funds criminal networks ruthless gangs and the flow of deadly drugs illegal immigration exploits vulnerable populations hurts hardworking citizens and has produced a vicious cycle of crime violence and poverty. only by upholding national borders. destroying criminal gangs can we break this cycle in the stablish a real foundation for prosperity. we recognize the right of every nation in this

and thirty's with the league of nations that was the pre-disaster to the united nations that was founded by will woodrow wilson the u.s. president but the u.s. congress never let the u.s. actually join it and it was unable to act in the days before world war two and we had world war two he said the u.n. is now like that facing a situation where as a symbol of powerlessness and he said they we really need to change he says that radical ideas may be trendy at the moment and multilateralism isn't trendy but multilateralism is the only way to avoid genocide he said it was genocide at the end of world war two that created the united nations and that's why he was same passion in the end saying what was at stake here a really very strong speech by the french president at one point when he talked about the united nations he listed important things as you now. sco the international criminal court the human rights council and the part of the un that deals with the palestinians. interesting those are all bits that the u.s. doesn't like and has pulled out of and he named them all in this speech also

work of the organization under agenda item 112 i now give the floor to secretary general of the united nations his excellency antonio banderas. >>. >> your excellency madame and the government and ladies and gentlemen our world is suffering from a bad case of trust deficit disorder. people are feeling troubled and insecure. at the breaking point of national institutions or the rules -based global order. people are losing faith in political establishments with populism on the rise and these decisions trust and global governance in the 21st century challenges with this institution and mindset. we've never had a true system but still across many decades with international cooperation we come together as united nations to build institutions and roads and schools with our shared interest centers of learning for millions and we forge peace but none of these can be taken for granted. today it is increasingly chaotic and the universal values with those democratic principles are under siege with the rule of law to be undermined. leaders and states push the boundaries in the national arena. the world is

as retaliation for actions by the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas last year at the united nations calling for the investigation and prosecution of israeli officials through the international criminal court you see actions in raged many in the united states who see the i.c.c. as a body rife with abuses and an infringement on u.s. sovereignty on monday bolton called for criminal sanctions against the i.c.c. if it moves ahead with investigating allegations of us were crimes in afghanistan those sanctions could even include blocking i.c.c. judges from entering the united states the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court senior palestinian officials are enraged by the u.s. announcement following similar announcements of cuts to palestinian aid the move of the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and is blind to ongoing israeli settlement expansion on disputed land this is an administrative mission oh. yeah administrations that sort of a nation. can use its policies of blackmail and e

the united states the other five members including of course germany and iran was in shrine and in the united nations security council two two three one so in a sense the iranians have never been stronger at the united nations defending their position because it is in shrine in an agreement at the united nations security council and his it is the american president today he who is in a minority in the united nations security council visit all the other members in the general assembly only i think israel and saudi arabia they support the president from all others against his position on the iran you could deal and so in a sense that the iranian president feels stronger talking about not just what he does at home or over the nuclear program per se but talking about an american president violating a united nations security council resolution and pressuring others including permanent members to violate that simmers solution i think in that sense we will hear the iranian president hammering home that very particular point ok and i want to thank you for that update from london. now just to move away from t

to give more james pays out of the united nations or don't trump a single out iran for particularly harsh criticism in his address to world leaders the u.s. president blasted what he called the corrupt dictatorship in tehran. iran's leaders so k.o.'s. death and destruction. they do not respect their neighbors or borders or the sovereign rights of nations. instead iran's leaders plunder the nation's resources. to enrich themselves and to spread mayhem across the middle east and far beyond. what iran's president hassan rouhani hit back on his turn came here kills the united states and waging what he called economic terrorism sabotage reports. out of the u.n. general assembly the iranian president hassan rouhani attacked the doctrine put forward by donald trump a few hours earlier of patriotism and individual national sovereignty or confronting multi-lateralism is not a sign of strength rather it is a symptom of the weakness of intellect it betrays an inability in understanding a complex and interconnected world and just as the e.u. russia and china have already emphasized president rouhani

i'm tired you know you're watching extended coverage from the united nations in new york the u.s. president donald trump has accused iran of being the world's leading sponsor of terrorism the us president is chairing a security council session on nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction right now and he's valid to impose even tougher sanctions on iran he also took aim at tehran and moscow over the war in syria accusing them of enabling what he described as butchery he also accused china of seeking to interfere in the u.s. congressional elections in november saying that beijing didn't want the republican party to weigh in because of trump's trade policies he went on to acknowledge efforts by turkey to slow down an attack on syria's rebel held province of. and that's the scene right now at the united nations general assembly where in a moment or two we expect the yemeni president i would put up a month sort of had to take his position at the stand and he will be speaking we do believe that he is being introduced there he is walking onto the stage to take his place at the podi

defenders as well as former prosecutors and they're saying that the united states acts as if it is above the law that oh yes the nationals of every country can be tried apart from u.s. nationals and that the united states uses the courts. as a political instrumental when it wants to do so and they cite the example of libya for example when they referred libya to the i.c.c. the united states was among the un security council member states that did so so criticism human rights defenders and former prosecutors that the united states feels that it is above the law and the reaction from the i.c.r.c. i.c.c. really diplomatic language but at the same time stretched the dismissing and not attaching really a lot of importance to what bolton said. they want all the news is for brazil's jailed former presidential reason arceo looted a silver says he'll keep fighting to run in next month's presidential election is banned from standing due to a corruption conviction and the supreme court has rejected his latest appeal he spent monday meeting with philander dad who could be announced the workers' party candidate on tuesday a latin ame

general assembly. yet again here at the united nations generalassembly. the united nations general assembly. president trump mentioned it recently in his speech to the assembly, saying that he wa nted to the assembly, saying that he wanted to establish a peace, but that certain facts had to be acknowledged. president macron of france said there was no alternative to the two state solution. so what are the hopes for that elusive peace deal, even a peace process? joining us deal, even a peace process? joining us as deal, even a peace process? joining us asa deal, even a peace process? joining us as a man deal, even a peace process? joining us as a man who has been working tirelessly on that objective, nickolay mladenov, who is the un's middle east envoy. there is a sense that that he is prospect is slipping away, as donald trump takes actions that diminish the role of the palestinians. well, it hasn't slept just a way, it is probably very difficult to reconstruct it in any form as it has been done in the past. we have seen a lot of the core issues, as they h
