u.n. security council meeting as kim jong-un's sister warns that the pacific could become a firing range.

u.n. security council meeting on north korean human rights. is really hard to imagine ambassador nikki haley blocking a united states -- or a u.n. security council meeting on north korean human rights. what do you suspect that's about? >> we actually held meetings on human rights, and it made them so upset that we did it. >> and they said that if you hold this meeting, this will be considered a provocation. that doesn't seem to me to be something that would have scared you away. >> well, i just don't think that we bind at threats. i mean -- >> so, why did we here? >> you know, i think that they went ahead, they did have a meeting on north korea. they had it on the ballistic missile testing and what they're doing. >> but not on human rights. >> i think they should've had it on human rights. i think it's really important that we continue to call out north korea for how they treat their people. every dollar that goes into north korea doesn't go to feed its people. >> if you had been there, would they have done it that way? >> i would've pushed ba

u.n. security council. and so this was not discussed at the u.n. security council. so what i want to say is the following. it's already done. the mistake was already done. now we have to find people to fix the mistake, to fix the error that was made. i know that brazil doesn't have that international political clout to promote that in this perverse rational of conflicts in the world. but i can say to you i will dedicate a lot of my time to find a way for someone to start talking about peace. i was with the german chancellor a week ago. >> and he asked you to send l leopards to ukraine, and you said no. >> no. it was not the tanks. it was ammunition. >> okay. ammunition. >> translator: i didn't want to send because if i send the ammunition, i would join the war. if i sent the ammunition from brazil, the ammunition you're asking for -- >> but you just agreed it's defense. >> translator: i don't want to join the war. i want to end the war. i don't want to join the war. this is the dilemma and this is my commitment. i'm visiting china next month and i'll talk a lot with

u.n. charter. this is even more unacceptable as it comes from a permanent member of this security council. the body to which the u.n. charter conference the key responsibility of maintaining international peace and security , and of safeguarding the purposes and principles of the united nations. every day, russian troops remain in the sovereign and independent territory of you rain -- of ukraine, undermines this. spain fully supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine within its nationally recognized borders. spain, like many others who have spoken here today in the general assembly of the u.n., is calling for the immediate complete and unconditional withdrawal of all the military forces of the russian federation from the entire ukrainian territory and a return to their internationally recognized borders. there is no argument whatsoever to justify this aggression. moreover, we expect our most condemnation of the indiscriminate shelling by russia against key civilian infrastructures and targets. this is an unacceptable violation of international humanitarian law. thousands

u.n. security council will have a meeting about that next week.about how america was involved with norway in sabotaging the nord stream pipeline. we are saying no more billion dollars to ukraine. no more money laundry scheme. we want peace. if lies can start a war, then truth can bring peace. >> tucker: and turn the focus back on our own country. i agree with that. thank you very much. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> tucker: a lot of pressure not to say that stuff. you can stream the death of comedy on fox nation. see you on monday. >> ♪ ♪ >> welcome to "hannity." i am jason chaffetz in for sean. it's a bird, it's a plane. it's a $50 research balloon from an illinois hobby club. the biden administration has no idea what they shot down and might

u.n. security council and they have a particular responsibility to protect the u.n. charter. this is a war aggression violating exactly that charter. and then on the proposals under points presented by china, first of all, china doesn't have much credibility because they have not been able to condemn the illegal invasion of ukraine. and they also signed just days before the invasion an agreement between president xi and president putin on limitless partnership with russia. so i think what we see now in ukraine is that president putin is not preparing for war, he is preparing for the exact opposite, for more war, for new off offenses. and therefore most likely this war at some stage will end at the negotiating table. but if we want a peaceful solution, we need to also realize that what happens around the negotiating table is totally dependent on the strength and situation on the battlefield. so meaning that if we want a peaceful negotiated solution will ukraine prevails as a sovereign nation, we need to support ukraine military now because that is the only way to create the co

u.n. security council after much back and forth, that point is not really possible because the roots are notoperation because of the earthquake. they are few to use other points. on both sides of this bitter conflict, there has been opposition to cross line, front line aid. i hope all of the ideas that make it difficult for the other side will be gone now. they have one common enemy, which is the earthquake. and the children on all sides should have the relief they need. hopefully, they could be now doing away with these horrific political obstacles, also to a peace agreement, for reconciliation, to open borders for front lines being possible. >> let's hope that does happen. in the meantime, your big operation, is to coordinate all of this aid, which must just be a gigantic massive challenge for you and others to get aid to those in need. and how long do you think this will be needed? how long will this go on for, do you think? we will have to be rebuilding for a year, at least. and the international donors have taken the place, with the assad government in place, they don't want to do recon

security council as it stands today. >> what impact can this debate at the u.n. security council have? the locus of action has shifted to the general assembly. we used to call that a talking shop. these days, it is the security council that's a talking shop because of russia's veto. it means any real decisive action, and this is the central organ of the united nations, responsible for peace and security, which is able, in fact, to direct countries with binding resolutions, this is essentially an impotent organ because of that russian veto. and she essentially referenced that, but also referenced something else. even when the security council cannot enforce international norms, they can reinforce them by calling out aggression, by naming, blaming, shaming, and certainly that was part of what she was trying to do. >> i want your take on what we have seen in the last 12 hours or so coming from china, this proposed peace plan. we have to take this in. beijing presenting itself as a possible peace mediator. >> right. many analysts have pointed out that beijing has already taken sides. beiji

u.n. security council can not be silent. wants to see a more unified response when it comes to north korean transgressions, but of course that is very difficult at the moment with russia and china refusing to side at all with the united states when it comes to condemning anything pyongyang is doing. >> paula, thank you. >>> more than two weeks since the massive earthquake and there is an urgent need for more tents and temporary housing for people in turkey and syria. nearly 900,000 people in turkey are living right now in camps like this one after losing their homes in the quake. on wednesday, the death toll passed 49,000 across turkey and syria. nada bashir is joining us from the turkish port city where she's been reporting all these from these camps. it is amazing they got the camps up and running, but not a long term solution obviously. >> reporter: absolutely. certainly not a long term solution. this is still and on going process and we're still seeing the camps be sent up. you can see behind me the shear scale of this c

"the wall street journal" reports chinese president xi jinping plans to visit moscow for a summit in the coming months. meanwhile, president biden delivered a speech in warsaw, poland, tuesday following his visit to ukraine. pres. biden: stands proud to mischance tall and most importantly stands free. brutality will never grind down the will of the free. ukraine will never be a victory for russia. amy: in ukraine, russian rockets killed six people at a bus station in kherson tuesday. the u.n. said at least 8000 civilians have been confirmed killed since the start of the war but tha

u.n. security council, secretary of state antony blinken called for what the u.s.aine call a just and durable peace. for peace to be durable, it must ensure russia can't rest, rearm, and relaunch its war in a few months or a few years. nick: today, the u.s. and other leaders of the seven largest industrial nations announced new sanctions, and export controls on russia. the u.s. also unveiled an additional $2.2 billion in military aid for ukraine, including more ammunition for long-range rockets. >> russia, stop the war! nick: and on this anniversary, much of the western world showed solidarity, from amsterdam to sydney. and even in moscow, memorials on monuments devoted to ukrainian writers. but even the flower-bearers were quickly detained. it is still illegal in russia to call the war a war. and a year is a long time to be at war, even for hardened warriors. >> my children are the most important people for me. i do not see them often. my parents, i do not see them at all. i am very proud of my wife. nick: that was zelenskyy at his most vnerable but also today ati

u.n. security council needs to be meeting now to open up further border crossing points. the u.s. financial and resource commitment can lead in this area. my home country has delivered about $60 million or $70 million just from the public of aid to support the aid effort. there's a financial effort, and thirdly, there's a critical role for the u.s. in saying, don't forget these people the syrian war has been going for a dozen years. the world has moved op on, but the crisis has not been resolved and a forgotten crisis is not a resolved crisis. what happens is that people on the edge, left on the edge when natural disaster strikes, they're pushed over the precipice, and that's with we're seeing now. >> david miliband, thanks for your time and effort. if you want to help, there's information about providing relief on our website, abcnews.com. >>> the houround table is next. we'll be right back. or on the lot. with upfront pricing, so you never have to negotiate. and express pickup, so you can get your car, on your time. all with an unmatched 30-day money back guarantee, so you can b

u.n. security council is that one border crossing. so when that road was blocked, that meant a delay in bringing more aid into that part of the country. there were relief items like tents and food and blankets. we have prepositioned relief items inside that area. and the partners on the ground distribute them. but it was nowhere enough to match the immense needs that have emerged after the earthquake. people need everything. shelter, water, food. they had their loved ones trapped under the rubble and they did not have the right equipment. the needed equipment, to extract them, to save lives. and that hurts. that is very painful. syrians have been going through this for 12 years. and they felt that they were -- >> on that note, then, what about the global community and their response here? we have heard some criticism when it comes to getting aid into the region. you just talked about the things that are needed to do this recovery. what are your thoughts on the response from around the world? >> i will try to be brief. one of the obsta

u.n. security council that reaffirms a maxim that has been around since the cold war.war must never be fought and can never be won. that is something that we still believe in profoundly. it was something that the russians in recent months have reaffirmed themselves. we call on the russians to make good on cesae with that nuclear saber rat lipgs and responsibly as they engage in this brutal war of aggression against the ukrainian people. >> ned price, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> kaitlin. >> notable to hear that. the first reaction beyond what secretary of state antony blinken said about these remarks from president putin. president biden is set to deliver his own speech today at the royal palace garden in warsaw. we are going to talk to the mayor of warsaw about the impact this invasion has had on his city and poland overall. that's next. don't just connect y your business.

u.n. security council voting on ensuring these border crossing points remain open for people to cross.we have this one border crossing which is between northern syria and southern turkey, and sadly we have been witnessing how -- the impact of this border crossing, if it's eventually gets deauthorized, and that means millions -- over 2 million people will be at risk of being cut off of assistance, and now with this challenge, i mean, this is an emergency within another emergency within this earthquake and with previous -- with the current winter storm and snowstorm that has been, we witnessed snow falling in northern syria. so it's just -- it's going to be more devastating to experience that, not to mention the trauma of you waking up at 4:00 a.m. to see your loved ones missing or your building collapsing. it just -- if you allow me to quote our staff in syria, he said it's the feeling of the unknown because they were in their sleep where they didn't know what to do, where to go. it was just so chaotic for them, and it was pretty traumatic. our main concern is to ensure the safety and s

u.n. security council can't do much about it because russia and china have veto powers.hough a lot of the members are condemning this, nothing gets done. >> so for perspective on all of this, congressman seth moulton joins us now, a democrat from massachusetts, and a member of the armed services committee. hi, congressman. i want to start with your reaction, how serious is all of this? >> look, it's serious because they're advancing the technology. and at the end of the day, the question is not what they're doing but why. and fundamentally you have a very weak country with an incredibly frightened, scared weak leader, and he's looking for relevance. he's looking to make himself matter. he's looking for his regime to matter. we don't know exactly what domestic troubles he might be having, perhaps health problems. but he's trying to find relevancy on the international stage. and the problem is he might be weak, he might be cowardly, all these things are true. but with this kind of technology a rogue leader like that can be a real danger to the world. >> yeah, that's the co

u.n. security council today not to be fooled by calls for a temporary truce because russia will use any pausergues in a new op-ed today that, a year into the war, with winning bipartisan support here at home, there remain many practical and moral reasons for america to continue assisting ukraine. ukrainians are fighting russian soldiers invading europe so that american and nato soldiers do not have to do so later. ukraine is defeating russia much larger military would send a powerful deterrent message as chinese leader xi jinping calculates the costs of invading taiwan. less importantly, mcfaul argues, the success of democratic ukraine and repelling autocratic russia would reassure small d democracies around the world that our ideas are gathering steam. small d democrats in belarus, burma, iran, and even russia would feel more emboldened. joining us now is michael mcfaul, former u.s. ambassador to russia under president obama, ambassador mcfaul, good to see you. thank you for being here today. as someone whose mother is burmese, i have to ask you, what lessons do you think the small d democra

u.n. security council or u.n. general assembly resolution. they didn't vote with russia.e been very careful in how they posture themselves publicly in their comments. they have tried to pitch themselves as somehow not standing fully in russia's camp when it comes to the war in ukraine, and their top diplomat recently was in europe trying to sell the idea that china's not all in with russia. but there are also disturbing signs about the ways in which china is supporting ukraine, is not standing up and speaking out about the terrible atrocities being committed in ukraine and, of course, they have not taken off the table the possibility of providing military assistance to ukraine although we haven't seen them do it yet. so it's something we watch very closely and president biden has a simple message to send when he talks to president xi. china should not be supporting the russian war effort because the russian war effort is all about trying to destroy and subjugate a neighbor in violation of every principle of human decency and every principle of international law and that i

host: you started by mentioning the un security council -- u.n. council meeting today and we will air live here on c-span. the russian federation, a permanent member of the security council along with china and france and other members are meeting today to discuss the one-year anniversary of the russian invasion. we are expecting to hear from the russian representative along with representatives from all the other countries. watch her on c-span, c-span.org, the free c-span now app. war in florida, democrat. good morning. caller: good morning. this is roy. what i am listening here today is a lot of people calling in to the show and having disapproval of the actual war. and not helping ukraine. we should help ukraine. if we do not, the whole world will be unstable. i cannot believe some of the stuff i am hearing. supporting vladimir putin? vladimir putin is not to be supported. he is a thug. he is an awful person. people had to remember -- my family came from russia in the early 19 hundreds around 1950 and the recalled names and everything else and

u.n. security council, though. we're a long way from assembly a tribunal to prosecutor putin, right?and of course it won't happen in the security council. there's got to be a lot of work done to pass a resolution to get that done. the point is, that needs to start. president putin cannot go -- he has to be held accountable. this is the way to begin to find a way to hold him accountable. >> ambassador, you were the first person on this program to educate me to the thing that has borne out, how adept the ukrainian military is, at a byproduct of not just their skill and training, that they've been at war for many years. i have quoted you over and over again, because it's borne out now over the 10, 11, 12 months you've said it. i wonder if you could give us your thoughts on what they need to prevail. >> many of us knew they would fight. many of us knew they would draw their strength from the ukrainian people. that's where -- this is a fight of all of ukraine against this aggression, so the military takes either strength, its motivation and takes its success from the ukrainian people. the

u.n.. the security council, the general assembly the chinese abstained. they don't support the russians.nese have been at some pains to avoid being associated with this war. i understand the chinese are irritated with the russians -- excuse me. not telling them that they the russians were about to invade when president putin visited beijing just before the war he apparently did not tell president xi that he was about to move aid. chinese are irritated with that. the chinese were not pleased with the russian invasion of ukraine. you mentioned the piece plan. the first point of the peace plan's sovereignty of nations and territorial integrity. i think the chinese are in a difficult position now. >> it's interesting because it would, as i said, only benefited china if the ukraine was able to pull for. especially when it comes to taiwan even with what they are saying when it comes to sovereignty. by the way take underwater if you want to this is live television a drink all the time. water all the time of speaking. it's important to do that. >> thank you. as we talk about this 12 point peace

u.n. to deal with the war, given the security council has been paralyzed by russia's veto.his isn't a legally binding resolution, it is seen as holding moral and political weight. this certainly will be embarrassing for russia. it won't necessarily change -- no one is under the illusion that it will change russia or president putin's calculations on the battlefield, but nevertheless this is what the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. hailed as a historic resolution. it shows where the moral weight of the world is on ukraine's side and believes that ukraine does have the right to exercise its self-defense in the face of russia's aggression. >> thank you very much. a prominent former south carolina lawyer has denied murdering his wife and son, but admitted lying about his whereabouts on the night they were killed. alex murdaugh, featured in a netflix documentary about the case, ok the stand to testify that he didn't shoot s wife and son in june 2021. he blamed his lies on an addiction to opioid painkillers. >> wasn't thinking clearly. i don't think i was capable of reason. and i lie

u.n. host: a caller asked earlier why russia is still a member of the security council. why can't that be changed? guest: great question. many people agree that it shouldn't. it is the structure of the u.n. they are a legacy framework, but it brings up a larger question. it comes down to the question of what kind of world we will have it russia wins and keeps its gains. it has everything to do with the global security structure, as well. this is where i want to bring in a point of u.s. national security interest in all of this. american supporting ukraine in this for values, but on the security side, if russia keeps its gains in ukraine, it will have a chance to rebuild, launch future attacks, connect its military gains in ukraine to belarus. that would imply different requirements on nato, the eu, and united states. the u.s. is risking being dragged into this, have the same problems, with the same escalation risks. those risks will always be there, but under much worse conditions, if it doesn't help ukraine right now. host: randall is in michigan. independent line. calle
