the u. n. will not be the when general assembly will not be able to do anything on a but voting on a resolution to stop what's happening right now. but um, it is the non aligned world which is actually addressed here. the western world is pretty much unified against russia and against the aggression. so they're standing with ukraine, the none aligned world. that means all other countries who are not accounted for being in the western or in the eastern part of affiliation. they are the ones who will make a difference here in terms of being united with the west or not being united with the west against russia and the aggression against ukraine. this resolution really gets the broad st pour it. it's proponents are hoping for what would be the implications for russia a direct implication on straight value, none because it is just a resolution and russia could potentially schrock this off. they already in, or russia is already in or facing a lot of trouble in terms of economic sanctions, sanctions i

when the u. n. was being established after world war to us, but i really, he who was, i thought code quite visibly moved by the developments of the last couple of hours . right now. the ukranian ambassador to the un is addressing reporters and of, and we saw as in our viewers also saw that he was on, you know, quite harsh in his condemnation of the russian attack on his country. and basically directed his comments. not just in general, but uh, specifically to the russian ambassador. yeah. rosen. and as we heard from the u. s . ambassador, after that to emergency meeting, she and other ambassadors made that point, that as the un security council was meeting to avert wool, that russia had already started an operation within eastern ukraine. what can we expect then later on in the day, from the un? well on thursday, a linda thomas grained, the u. s. and master to the u. n said that she will be bringing forward a resolution to hold russia accountable for what is happening in ukraine right now . but agai

the u. n says more than 4000000 people in parts of ethiopia are facing critical shortages of water. after the last 3 rainy seasons failed, hundreds of thousands of children are already severely malnourished in those areas . malcolm lab reports to nearly 2 years. the rainy seasons have failed in the lowland regions of eastern ethiopia. the un says more than 4000000 people are facing critical water shortages. in recent months, livestock, they depend on to survive, have been dying in their tens of thousands access for journalists, n e t, a period restricted the u. n. release this video from the somali region. hundreds of thousands of people are depending on health and nutrition support from the u. n's agency for children. the u. n says around 200000 children, a mouse nourished, and the numbers are growing fast. of mobile clinics like this one, people can get some help, other victim in rich therapeutic feeding paste can help to bring children back from the brink. most of the people here depend on

so i might say the u. n. as i congratulated the era trained government in about 3 days on the 32nd anniversary of operation fen kill liberation of the sour. now, many people around the world watching this don't perhaps understand the crucial importance of the region you've lived in for so long. what? why is it relevant to the current to gray conflict with sure. yeah, joe biden, state department often says is a, is a, is a conflict rooted in, in barbarism, virtual barbarism by a few urinary tract. how is it relevant to that? well, no or no, that is one of the most strategically critical places in the world because the 2 largest trading partners in the world are europe and asia. and most of their trade passes through the red sea, which is at $22.00 in egypt where the suez canal, which is controlled by basically by the c i o pays the salaries of egypt and military to the, to the $1500000000.00 a year with his company would dispute that there? well, the other strategically critical point is the bob on monday at t

he denies the u. n. is estimating that more than half a 1000000 people have had to flee from their homes in ukraine, many heading to poland. the u. preparing to give you cranium. refugees, a special permission to live in the block for up to 3 years without the need to apply for a sign of labor throb has more from the medical board across the uncertainties of war, disappear briefly in such moments untold journeys of peril. days spent waiting at the busiest border crossing in western ukraine. finally, the joy of re uniting with loved ones. others look on waiting for their turn for their people to turn off next for their chance at a warm embrace. but after medica, border crossing and poland, not all tears being shed are those of joy. do we have friends who will keep us here? i got my child and i my c service, the child. so we left our husband whole 2nd for many of the people we met here, the thought of what they have been forced to leave behind is unspeakable. people arriving here from ukraine are often exh

or there are people in the u. n. are all very concerned about africa standing up and say, we're not going to be dominated by the you any more that up with, you know, colonialism mean that's become a big thing in the job. you know, you know, colonialism. why? because i'm after the world bank or the way they control their economies and by controlling their economies, they control their governments and they're trying to these african countries in the barriers and interesting, know we cannot be there. we have to be self sufficient. we have to have food security 1st and foremost, that's a question of national security because without food security, you're going to be a bigger and then your people are going to start when they decide they don't when the powers that be in the west. besides that, you are not telling the line well the, i'm having well, bank say they've chained change to we invite the t v l f on on the program. and obviously those human rights organizations are continue to condemn what they see is human rights

and since the united states is the host of the u. n. r, the united states has the right to expel those diplomats, and that sir walter, the us and the white house and out today's going to happen a caged if and let's talk now about this emergency meeting of the un general assembly. how is the voting on this resolution that deploring russia's actions? how is that expected to go? well, is still going on. it will be also gone on to morrow and is, is expected that resolution will be not only in the workings but signed them and, and been defacto declared to morrow or on wednesday. now, how is this gone? they say 19293, a member countries in the un general assembly. and most of them i would guess 100 plus or something will probably vote for this resolution. and in this resolution, as you said, russia will be appointed out as the sole aggressor, and it will be said and asked from russia to actually stop the fighting. and or pull back now is, is going to happen and is, will this have an effect on russia? probably not. why? because it's not bindin

u. n. charter. the council must be united in calling on russia to deescalate, immediately in condemning aggression against a sovereign nation and defending the territorial integrity of ukraine in calling on russia to respect its obligations under the charter to the peaceful resolution of disputes. russia has brought us to the brink. we urge russia to step back. i thank you. you have over there. i thank the representative of the united kingdom for his statement. i now give the floor to the representative of mexico. senior glitzy, then president, lag. you are grateful, assume liberality and things that for the briefing by the u. s. g on the current situation in ukraine, say he must come back to you. we are following with concern. the recent developments and the situation in the east of ukraine, that me going to put in these circumstances. it is critical that those actions are exacerbating this crisis cease and going to hire a security council 1000000 through resolution 220. 2 supported a range of meas

what does the ukraine want from the u. n? well, it would ideally want a resolution, but if not, then at least bring that topic to the world stage. and that's what we've seen here today. ukrainian foreign minister collaborate the united nations warned of an end of the international order as we know it. and then in the united nation security, secretary general, excuse me, antonio gutierrez, one of the devastating global consequences of a full scale invasion, really unseen in many years is what he said. but then again, also we need to keep in mind that it needs a resolution here and one that we don't have and very unlikely that we're going to see one. and what is russia saying? well, russia has delivered a very contentious appearance here today with the russian ambassador vasily in. 3 the bend zia, he called, or he talked about blatant genocide in the don best region, something that the german chancellor will of short a few days ago already dubbed as nonsense. and you also accuse secretary general good terrace taking sides with

of the, the e u, but also to the u. n. r. in response to what is happening, what can we expect from the u. n. in terms of this or invasion, we heard from, from antonio, guitarist the un secretary general, saying that the description of peacekeepers as, as they were called, going into the country from russia, was simply, it was a perversion of that term. how can, how, how can we expect to you and response we will definitely hear more stronger words. but terry, we have to her, that just of peak. quite frank here the u. n. is kind of a toothless tiger. they can, holds a strong speeches and condemn a, the attack on a ukraine or as the, the american say here, the invasion. but quite frankly, because of the possible vito of russia or china. it's, it's, it's very difficult for them to really come up with a resolution which might be changing the course of history at this very moment. so there is not a lot to be expected from the you and other than strong words. that's by the way, one reason why, for example, the former president, don

the u. n says, in 2 months from now, nearly 7000000 people who need help with malcolm web al jazeera, the trials of to high profile opposition figures are due to started nicaragua. there among dozens of the president's political opponents accused of violating the constitution. many were hoping to run against daniel ortega in a presidential race in november, but were imprisoned in parliament and not bound for private universities on $68.00 groups or latin america editor this year, newman reports. there are no images of what's happening inside my now was she what the prison? it's were more than 40 government opponents had been tried behind closed doors for alleged conspiracy, terrorism, and much more human rights, inter director of human newness closer to a judicial force or what they've not been able to prove any crime against this. people who have been practically kidnapped and kept in prison, violating the law and denying them due process, there's no presumption of innocence. the lawyers have

the u. n. d p has said that probably, you know, half of people in mia, mom will probably be living in poverty this year. the u. n. an released a statement, a document in december, say that 14400000 people that more than one out of 4 people need humanitarian assistance. i mean, that's how, but we're talking about what i've been talking to, you know, farmers and people in agriculture sector as well. and, you know, again, we focus a lot on conflict and politics and violence, but people who are not even displaced. people who are not even in conflict though they are having such hardship. just, you know, living just trying to survive. and there up people that i've been speaking to in the agricultural heartlands, the places where some of the major cropping areas in the and more they're struggling. farming households are having to sell long term assets, you know, life dock, their food storage in order to survive in order to just be able to eat. you know, that has furious long term consequences for the

i worked with a group that is commissioned by the u. n. p r. i and we look at something called didn't eligible policy response, and we look at for costing what we think might happen as well as what would be required to get to $1.00. and we think we can for cost say something like $1.00, which is what the call might be. might the outcome the might have been a weird, full cost that before the call. and in that, when it's a start throttling back on coal, certainly no new coal from 2025 on woods is very small window. and we would be say, be very careful how much you do. and then on oil and gas, the final window here is the oil and gas oil demand peaks, we think in the next 2 to 3 years and following that is going to rapidly run off. so there's not a lot of room even on this sort of not on the so stringent $1.00 outcomes, even at $1.00, there's not that much room for new investment in oil and gas. the saw i'm but not a lot. very interesting to get your thoughts, mark fulton chaff, the research council, the carbon tracker and founding partner energy

the u. n says around 200000 children malnourished, and the numbers are growing foss. mobile clinics like this one, people can get some help, other victim enrich, therapeutic feeding, paste can help to bring children back from the brink. most of the people here depend on hurting livestock to survive. they have to walk further every month to find water. the pools where the animals drink her a fraction of their usual size. getting out what's left of the water isn't easy, but it keeps thirsty camels alive. the un mobile clinics are helping some. but it says it needs about 30000000 dollars to reach all the people who are in need this part of this, that's the key we ship to minimize. i'm this is that it, that's more children. and it's a critical integrated package of lives. if in with sanitation, promotion, treatment or focus magician and the treatment of common illnesses, i'm including fascinations. as more animals die and crops fail, the number of people in need just goes up. the u. n says, in 2 m

so the u. n. n is partners including in the end, jose, how to put together a finally cost plan valued at some $8000000000.00 for afghanistan this year. this can be funded by the international community. because if not, the real danger is that many, many thousands of people could leave the country due to starvation persecution. and of course, just a lack of any a future here. so people need to begin to invest in afghanistan now, and i'll let the, the broader financial institutions decide about their goals, but i'm focused on the humanitarian need. you know, julian assigns the helix founder imprisoned here in britain, said the whole afghanistan war was a recycling operation. for trillions of dollars into a wall street in the military industrial complex, as joe biden spent said, it was 2 trillion dollars. britain spent $30000000.00 repeatedly. and on this, i mean, you see evidence of say, organ harvesting, which is bearing on british screens right now. children's organs being sold. or you see evidence

why do you think the u. n claims yemen is the worst humanitarian crisis, not ukraine, which is dominating the media because the, the humanitarian crisis are in. and in fact the conflict in yemen has been going on since 2015. so we're talking about a 7 year conflict, which has had an immense impact on the people of him and has to some extent been forgotten with the many crisis that have come up in the last few years. yet this is one where we see millions of people affected. 9 of the population of young men has been in a constant state of war for a very long time, ab, sorry, lydia were having to sound issues were gone. one of the sad stories i was looking at was of a little boy called alma, in one of the displacement and camps. and he was in his, the under 10 years old. so most of his life has now been displayed, spent in displacement capital. and his wish, his biggest wish was to return back to his village and play football in the park. and his father selim, i was talking about the fact that the situation is no

i'm told the estimate done by the u. n. h c r. that's a refugee part of the u. and the refugee agency of the un is between 3 and 5000000 refugees. if the russians continue with all out full scale assault, as seems to be the case on the ukraine and taking hold of ukraine. and so the u. n . is going to be really pushed into action, the humanitarian side of the un. remember in terms of the politics, the u. s. has not really got involved because they basically been pushed away, particularly by the russians who say that i want you and involvement in this crisis . it was interesting again to hear the secretary general quoting the un charter, a chart that was signed back in 1945 by the founding members, including than the soviet union, which is of course, a permanent member and sources. high level un sources say to be the russians are the 1st and all the countries in new york to keep coming to the u. u. n. secretary and the secretary general. well, they called d ma. she's where they come out of meeting with the sex general to complain about something. and they're alway

ukraine's u. n ambassador one of the first to take the floor, comparing vladimir putin's recklessness of war to adolf hitler. if he wants to kill himself. he doesn't need to use nuclear arsenal. he has to do what they say what the guy in berlin did in a bunker, the most notable part of his speech, a text message exchange between a russian soldier and his mom. he accuses the russian government of misleading the soldier about training only to eventually end up dying in war. mama mama in ukraine. there is a real war raging here. i'm afraid we are bombing all of the city's together, even even targeting civilians. we were told that they would welcome us immediately. following was russia's ambassador to the u. n he says the military operation into ukraine was a result of ukraine, not granting special status to two regions within its borders. as promised years ago, the russian ambassador, calling it an act of self defense to a terrorist regime, making a reference of his own. british iranian west occupation

within the last few minutes, we learned that the u. nurity council has now scheduled another emergency meeting for later today at the request of ukraine. is there anything that the u. n security council can do any steps that it can take? to try to get putin off this path. well, given that russia has the veto on the security council cannot past any or resolution, you know, and under article seven of the united nations charter, which would uh, allow the international community to have this kind of a mandatory international response. but what the what the security council is doing is this really making it clear that russia is isolated in the international community that it is really are alone in this regard? this is not. i mean, there have been a lot of issues, of course, where their divisions among security council and you know there's obviously a lot of opposition to the u. s invasion of iraq but in but here and here we have a situation where the international community is being being being crystal clear that this is a need further moves

i worked with a group that is commissioned by the u. n. p r i. and we look at something called inevitable policy response. and we look at for costing what we think might happen as well as what would be required to get to $1.00. and we think we to, for cost say something like $1.00, which is what the cost might be might be out from the cop might have been. and we'd forecast that before the call. and in that, when it's a start throttling back on coal, certainly no new coal from 2025 onwards is very small window. and we would be say, be very careful how much you do. and then on oil and gas, the final window here is orland, gas, oil demand takes, we think in the next 2 to 3 years and following that is going to rapidly run all. so there's not a lots of room even on this or not on the so stringent $1.00 outcomes. even at $1.00, there's not much room for new investment in oil and gas the saw, but not a lot. very interesting to get your thoughts, mark fulton chaff, the research council, the carbon tracker and founding partner energy transition, advisors.

so it is natural that the u. n. a secretary general takes a position off the validity and the, the challenges like china and russia are in a sort of uphill battle in that respect of germany for a long time, a protector. the pipeline project are not only owed outgoing a government, but also the new chancellor shoals. but as things developed scholes gave his word that up on the 1st moved by the russian government on ukraine. they would scrap the project or at least scrap the licensing process, and the west germany interprets the recognition of the 2 peoples republics. and in particular, any possible move off russian military into these republics as an evasion, as the, the move on your credit triggering. the decision that scholes took yesterday or shifting gears to canada. now whether it's still public anger, essentially from coast to coast offer a high profile organizer. the riley's against coven restrictions was denied bail reporting from the streets of ottawa. now peter, on all to his streets to remain clear from pr

the u. n estimates at least 100,000. people are fleeing the violence there tomorrow. the u. n is expected to vote on a resolution condemning the military aggression and demanding an end to this invasion. new us sanctions against russia include freezing trillions of dollars in u. s assets of large russian banks and russian oligarchs and barring tech exports to russia. president biden acknowledged that the invasion and sanctions could lead to higher energy prices here at home, at least for a time. but he said that the u. s and its allies must stand up for freedom around the world. putin's choice. to make it totally un justifiable war on ukraine. love love. russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger. liberty democracy, human dignity. these are the forces far more powerful than fear and oppression. they cannot be extinguished by tyrants like putin and his armies. western leaders held back on blocking russia from the international banking system, known as swift president. biden suggested that european allies aren't ready for that step because of the complex financial fallout

well, earlier we heard from the ukrainian ambassador to the u. n. and he was speaking at that special session. he compared the situation in keys to world war 2 have been prompted to call for an emergency special session. as the level of this rat to the global security has been equated to the who that or the 2nd world war or even higher. following, put in order to put an alert russian nuclear forces. what's it, what a madness if he wants to kill himself, he doesn't need to use nuclear. awesome, though he has to do what the say, what, what the guy in, in berlin did in a bunker in may 1945 on the ground. people are enduring another day of heavy fighting in cities right across ukraine. dozens of people are reported to have been killed or wounded and brushed attacks on the 2nd biggest city car keys. a residential building was hit and churney have on more than half a 1000000 refugees have now fled the fighting. that's according to the united nations most are crossing into poland, romania and hungary. iran con has more on the days developments. great. you

the u. n. is calling for them to be handed over to child protection act as the pakistani army has strongly condemned an attack on it. soldiers which killed at least 5 troops shot out from across the border and afghanistan by pakistani taliban fighters. in december, the army group withdrew from a cease fire with the pakistani government. the attack on the pakistani army comes just days after it. soldiers fought with separatists and but all just on province. fighting broke out on wednesday, killing 9 soldiers and 20 fighters. the military says to army posts were targeted one of the biggest attacks in recent years. but some tele medicine, the situation is not good after the explosion to restrict checking everywhere. we're sitting here to provide bread and butter to our children. there is nothing in the market. so on the i by the door come, we came here in the morning. first, we were working, and after finishing work at 11 o'clock, we came to this place. we haven't lived, there was a lot of damage.

getting ready for this worst case scenario, the u. n. is talking about up to 4000000 refugees who potentially could cross over into you member countries. and in fact, some of those member countries are already seeing those flows starting up. poland, for example, and a number of refugees also already crossing into who as lavaca will de via. so germany also expects refugees to wind up here. and of course, that does as you point out, reawaken some traumatic memories from 2015 when germany took in 1000000 refugees who had entered the e u from syria and other middle eastern countries as well as afghanistan. presumably not all of these millions that the u. n is talking about would wind up here in germany, but germany says it is ready. it's opening shelters in berlin and brandenburg other regions as well. and one encouraging assign at least back then in 2015. 1 of the most difficult players with hungary, if you remember, it was hungry is decision to close its own border that essentially led uncle medical to make her spur of the moment decision

and the countries ambassador to the u. n is accused.

and in about half hour, the u. n security council is holding an emergency meeting at the request of ukraine over the threat of a russian invasion. we will update you on that meeting tonight at seven over on the plus and then again tonight on the 10 o'clock news right here on ktvu. russia's advance on ukraine will likely have an impact on the u. s economy. total u. s. imports from russia are in the $20 billion range. most of what we import includes crude oil, petroleum products, iron, steel, seafood and fertilizers. those items can be replaced from elsewhere but likely at a higher price, experts say. while we don't trade very much with russia, one thing could hurt americans. it is a major oil exporter that it could impact the price of oil and energy and so that would be felt here. russia produces about 10% of the world's oil supply, taking that much oil out of the world market could quickly drive up energy prices. as for an impact on russia, experts say the most harmful import we could restrict would be technology. on
