at the u.n.ith more. john, good morning. >> sandra, good morning to you. kind of like covering a hurricane today, as opposed to the u.n. general simply. whether or not the best that we have ever seen. one thing you can take off the table this week is a meeting between president trump and president assad ronnie of iran. he tweeted that despite requests, he had no plans to meet the iranian president. maybe someday in the future. i'm sure he's an absolutely lovely man. a meeting between of the two of them probably wouldn't go very well either, because he's going to use strong linkage to call out around today. one of the central themes of his speech at the u.n. and the nexw hours. it will be about nonproliferation. he calls out iran about being the world's where state sponsor of terror, and the fact that they are really jeopardizing peace in the middle east. on a daily basis. listen to what the secretary of state mike pompeo said yesterday. >> you can bet the president will have well-deserved strong

president has chaired his first meeting at the u.n. security council donald trump used it to attack iran calling it the world's leading sponsor of terror he also had harsh words for china surprising many by accusing beijing of meddling in the upcoming u.s. midterm elections our diplomatic efforts are james bays as more from u.n. headquarters in new york. president trump presiding over a meeting of the u.n. security council the eight thousand three hundred and sixty second meeting of the security council is called to order his administration chose the subject of the discussion nuclear chemical and biological weapons but they had well away from that with this stunning claim regrettably we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight teen election coming up in november. against my administration they do not want me or us to win because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade china strongly denied that and on the actual subject of the meeting it sided with three of the other security coun

to helpook to the u.n. realize their dream for a better life, a u.n. that is committed to making the united nations relevant to all people, making our world a better place for everyone to live in. the contemporary international order which began with the funding of the you and is raised on purposes and principles of the u.n. charter and enhanced by the vision and practice of multilateralism. broughtver the 70 years about general piece and rapid development, a philosophy has gained wide acceptance and broad is formed on the need for inter-dependence and cooperation , yet it is through the international order today faces problems and needs the city reform and improvement. the world is changing. as we celebrate mankind's achievements and progress in our changing world we must never lose sight of the challenges and difficulties we face and must remain vigilant. what we see today is that multinational mechanisms are under attack and the landscape is filled with uncertainties. should we stay committed to this? should we uphold the architecture of the world o

the u.n. special envoy for syria we heard warnings of a bloodbath a humanitarian catastrophe if the syrian government were to go ahead with the unexpected military offensive in it live province and last rebel stronghold once again but there are some three million people who live in the province as well this briefing of the security council coming just hours after a summit in tehran between russia iran and turkey the three countries agreeing to jointly look for ways to resolve the situation in a rebel held it live province in syria i want to bring in our diplomatic editor james frey's who's been listening into this briefing at the security council for as james talk us through what we've heard so far from both the u.n. special envoy for syria and the humanitarian operations chief. well i think we've heard some very important things both with regard to the humanitarian situation the dye humanitarian situation and the prospects of any sort of break on a major military operation which looks like it

president is chairing the u.n. security council the first two times it was but obama and now today in new york it's donald trump. so he's. with the u.n. secretary until you could ted a show has taken his chair. and the proceedings are going to start. soon as donald trump the press to make his opening remarks to the u.n. security council in new york let's listen it. is. really just you know this isn't. just. the president asking the insect region if he should thank you very much that it's the eight thousand three hundred and sixty second meeting of the security council is called to order. the agenda for this meeting is maintenance of international peace and security non proliferation of weapons of mass destruction the agenda is hereby adopted i am honored to be here today to chair this meeting of the united nations security council it is also my privilege to welcome the distinguished heads of state heads of government ministers and other leaders and representatives here with us thank you i also wish to warmly welcom

the u.n. humanitarian affairs chief is warning a famine in yemen could strike at any time and leave and lead to even more deaths food prices have soared and the fighting over the port of data has stopped aid agencies from reaching at least eight million people so far this year he says by the time a famine is confirmed it will be too late to stop it. my job is to draw attention to the humanitarian suffering and one way in which the situation could be worse is if we were running the biggest relief operation and we didn't have a very well funded appeal so my colleague martin griffiths who's the u.n. political envoy is working as hard as we can to deal with the underlying issues and what's needed is to get people around the table so i agree with you there's also a contradiction in this my central focus though is ensuring that the people who are the losers in this conflict in which there are no winners the people who are the losers of the civilians those little babies. our leaders are in new york f

i remember standing outside of the u.n. this time last year listening to the speech from the president calling kim jong-un rocket man, talking about totally destroying north korea if it were to threaten the u.s. again. there was an enormous amount of alarm inside the general assembly to hear those words. a year later, there's been a face-to-face summit, the president is talking about a second summit. does the president deserve krezt for taking them back from the brink of war? >> to a certain extent, what a difference a year makes. we have gone from little rocket man to the president praising kim jong-un and talking about meeting him again, but i dent think we should overplay how much has changed. north korea is continuing to starve its own people. north korea continues to have huge stockpiles of chemical biological weapons and nuclear weapons. that hasn't stopped and is still attacking us via cyberattacks on an ongoing basis. the department of homeland security and the fbi continue to issue alerts. some things have changed

now let's return to a headline grabbing speech at the u.n. because it wasn't just foreign powers he attacked socialism also came into stick in this color in their reports it is an argument we've heard before to. trumps un general assembly speech this year contains some old material not long ago venezuela was one of the richest countries on earth today socialism has bankrupted the oil rich nation virtually everywhere socialism or communism has been it has produced suffering corruption and decay all nations of the world should resist of socialism and the misery that it brings to everyone stops at roughly the same thing in last year's un speech and he got a similar awkward response the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented. trump doesn't seem to realize that the cold war is over and the specter of soviet style marxism leninism is no longer hanging over eastern europe meanwhile trump also doesn't seem to realize that socialism is rather popular around the world th

that is also a very important topic at the u.n. this is but only the third presidential u.n. security council meeting on this topic in decades. i think what president trump is going to do is draw parallels between north korea and iran. you heard yesterday he slammed iran not just on the nuclear deal but other issues. he will point to the progress he feels he made with unen kkim jo and try to rally the world on keeping up sanctions on iran, really putting the pressure on iran in terms of proliferation. you saw yesterday the other countries in that nuclear deal, the europeans, russia, china all have this meeting yesterday without the united states saying they were going to stick in the deal. i think that there is definitely a lot of debate on what is going on between the u.s. and its partners on iran and not necessarily sure he has the rest of the world around him. syria and chemical weapons will also come up. obviously, use of chemical weapons by the syrians is a real concern to the council. >> joining us now -- continuing to back the president's decision to leave the iranian

delegate to the u.n. general assembly a few hours ago and i compared did not answer any questions but then the deputy secretary of state did on some questions specifically because on monday the state department released its long awaited report it was actually finished in august but then they didn't they didn't release it until i quietly released it on monday without even the press release which quite extensively documents the horrors being visited upon the renda in myanmar but they didn't use the word genocide as the u.n. fact finding mission did so the deputy secretary of state was asked on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly a few hours ago well why didn't you use the word genocide and he said look that way it wasn't meant to be a determination of genocide it was to try to understand what was going on but he didn't crucially rule out that the information used in the state department report wouldn't be used eventually to bring. charges of genocide of crimes against humanity against those responsib

the u.n., nikki haley opened this portion of the meeting. good morning, the 8000, 300 53rd meeting of the security council is called to order. the provisional agenda for this non-proliferation democratic people's republic of korea. the agenda is adopted. 37 ofordance with rule the council's provisional rules of procedure, invite the representatives of japan and the republic of korea to participate in this meeting. it is so decided. 39 ofordance with rule the councils provisional rules of procedure, i invite miss undersecretaryo general for political affairs to participate in this meeting. it is so decided. the security council and now begin its consideration of item two of the agenda. i now give the floor to miss rosemary dicarlo. president,u, madam members of the security council, there have been several positive development related to the nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs of the democratic people's republic of korea over recent months. on 20 april, they announced an immediate ha

i think his u.n. speech was quite tough on iran the two it was strange as you said people were expecting that he is going to be consistent at least when it comes to. tehrani and rhetoric but that tweet the last sentence of that to it was surprising if they don't mind that people love how he was talking about the north korean leader and then now he seems to be getting along with mr kim. the sentence that you played i think i can answer that main question of today's program and the main the proper answer i think to the question is that you see a lot of inconsistences when it comes to u.s. fine policy for example the u.s. government accuses iran of not respecting borders but they have been occupying syria for the last number of years without any request from the syrian government in fact in. sort of the sacred image with the syrian government the syrian government has asked the u.s. to leave syria and its occupation they talk about killing. people in neighboring countries but they have been supporting sa

well he actually has arrived at the u.n.and only minutes ago however as he sat he apparently missed his space in the speakers or his turn in the speakers line out because actually he was scheduled to be speaking right now so that will be interesting to learn why he was late whether he really was late whether he's a only anticipate that the speeches before he had i would last longer what is quite striking to me at this moment is that actually i would have right now excerpts of his speech to share with you and that's the way it works it would be getting from the white house press this right now they told us not to accept and the excerpts so that's quite interesting day one says the president speech to be sort of surprise i guess ok we understand we have some footage of president trump arriving at the united nations just a short while ago as you say we did not arrive at the time that he was supposed to be should be delivering his speech right now and of course we'll be getting that in just a moment there is entering the buildin

and it's not just the u.n. that wants to get on the same page as trump it's also russia china north korea about the rest of the world really and on tuesday the u.s. president will have he's best chance to explain that he's not just a gung ho diplomat. he's going to do good things before it is catastrophic. and i think you. may be have worked in a few cases you know maybe in north korea. north korea to. soften up its stance on. its nuclear testing and its high sierra i.c.b.m. development. because it's so outrageous but if you do that too many times and you threaten you know to break all the china in the shop and then you don't do it. then after a while it starts to be seen as a bluff and he's probably getting to that point where most people see it as a bluff and respond to it accordingly instead of panicking. well despite the importance of the u.n. the desire increasingly using other methods to get their message across politicians are resorting to social media probably now to make that point although not everybo

because u.n. inspectors and indeed all the signatories of the of the iran nuclear deal who keep on affirming that iran is in complete compliance with the terms of the iranian nuclear deal and that are now certainly does like his props. u.n. general assembly speeches than see with the latest from the u.n. thank you. the saudi foreign minister is also in new york and has been talking about relations with qatar he says that unless qatar make some changes the tension between the two countries will not be resolved we've taken the steps that we took no dealing with because. you can't over fly airspace you can't import things from our market you we will not you know the military or cop cooperation still ongoing because that's just you and with the u.n. so we do that but the other stuff is all frozen until that huge and i hope they change and if they don't try we're patient people will wait for ten fifteen twenty years fifty years how long did it take you with us to in cuba. meanwhile saudi arabia state n

with no military escort no protection other than the u.n. flag. burning docks convoy and that jewish jerusalem. after a few hours spent visiting the former british governor's house they headed to the y.m.c.a. for the night. as they left andres servo a french colonel traveling with the u.n. convoy asked tillman to do him a favor. bit and i thought right away the liaison officer swapped seats in berne adults car and goes to sit in another car in the convoy care should be the move good lord daughter. and switches with colonel servo who asked for the chance to thank bernadotte for the red cross campaign that had saved his wife from a german concentration camp. so close wife had been liberated by one of the white fusses. his gratitude would cost him his life. heading towards the y.m.c.a. the three car convoy was suddenly halted. an army jeep pulled out from the side street to block the road. three men in israeli army fatigues sprang out of the jeep. they are they block the road kill you and then two of the assassins come out. again ben maché and punctu

trump's u.n. speech regrettably we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election coming up in november. against my administration they do not want me or us to win because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade washington's needlework has already retailer in their agenda actions that china has taken undermine a rules based order unfair trade practices particularly by china the chinese are very active we can watch very focused efforts to steal american information well china we here at r.t. know what it's like to be showcased in the window of the white house political boutique first things first accusations of election meddling are still in vogue so make no mistake what used to be russian hackers and the presidential vote in twenty sixteen giving way to chinese hackers and the mid-term ballot this season from its continued hacking of our defense secrets to its focus on collecting vast repositories of personal personality. information to b

i know something about the u.n.. i want to use this opportunity to express israel's appreciation to president trump and ambassador haley for the support they have provided israel at the united nations. [applause] they have unequivocally backed israel's right to defend itself. they pulled out of a history denying unesco and a morally bankrupt human rights council. they have more resolutions about israel than the rest of the world combined. iran,enfold compared to syria, you name it. not even tenfold, because you cannot multiply zero i any number. by any multiply zero number. president trump and ambassador haley stopped funding an organization that, instead of solving the palestinian refugee , --lem perpetuates it perpetuated. presidentday, the fights a battle against the u.n. who day after day, slanders israel. even though the revolution -- the resolution that compared zionism to racism has been removed 20 years ago. the foul stench still clings to these halls. israel airlifted ethiopian june -- ethiopian jews to free

twenty five percent of the u.n. peacekeeping budget and he said they're working to shift more funding from assessed contributions to voluntary contributions i think this is a good chance and we'll start with you forward to talk about i guess the future of the u.n. here the idea of it being funded in a more voluntary way. if you know i should be i don't mind saying that the united this is historically has used its funding to influence the united nation in a very that basically serves u.s. foreign policy goals and as we have seen in the last few decades at least that us foreign policy goes generally end up in projects like the iraq war or there's a mysterious foreign policy objectives that the u.s. engages in so having a more independent un a un that is not fully influenced by the united states is actually welcome news ben let me just make a point about the north korean issue that has a lot of lessons for people in iran because people are saying in iran that the modern that iran should use that the u.s. government und

to walk into the u.n.ty much tell them what you think of them, which is nothing, to insult globalism, and then make that boast about having done more than any other president in american history, not exactly what the american president should be doing. >> well, i don't think i've ever seen an american president humiliated on the international stage the way that trump was just humiliated. you know, americans may be used to his boasts, but the international leaders who were in that room not only were not used to them, they don't have any time for that. and if he's going to go and say complete nonsense like he's achieved more, you know, in the u.n. where they remember that there were american presidents who led to the creation of the u.n., who won, you know, peace for the world and two world wars, et cetera. well, he gets that. he gets that kind of reaction. but, you know, he also went harder against the u.n., against the international system -- >> very specifically, yes. >> then i recall any american preside

so as u.n. members we should invest the expertise and diplomatic resources necessary in the convention. mr. president, it was collective engagement by states across the globe that produced the counterproliferation framework. even the most powerful recognize that investing in collective rules based restraint with the only effective way of addressing national security interests and avoiding recourse. we cannot let the framework be undermined today by those who reject the values and disregard the rules that have kept us safe. it will take collective engagement to reinforce it in the face of today's challenges. and in this, as has always been the case, the u.k. will play a leading role. thank you. president prump: thank you -- president trump: thank you very much, prime minister. i now give the floor to the prime minister of the netherlands. >> mr. president, your excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, this year, there has been several occasions when weapons of mass destruction security ered our underm

the u.n. special envoy to yemen says he hopes airport will reopen next week martin griffiths made the remarks late on thursday meanwhile the government of. says it won't allow the u.n. mission to continue investigating human rights violations of the country it's accused the u.n. of bias after a report issued on alleged war crimes the conflict in yemen escalated in twenty fifteen when the saudi led coalition started backing the government and launched airstrikes against the hope these. well those are the headlines on al-jazeera do stay with us faultlines is coming up next thank you very much for watching. twenty five years dr the thought of zero world tells the behind the scenes story of norway's rule the oslo accords they wanted to have what they froze in the ability and reveals how secret negotiations were skewed. misread is everything. and why they're still here to deliver on so much that was promised the price of all is low zero. for her. and the present one broke from somebody a. german ro

will support the u.n. proposals for a new peace talks on yemen is there anything significant or new in that statement. well you know when there is when there is will there's a way but certainly there has been much much of a will because the iraqis in particular as well as saudi arabia wanted to wind this war on the ground and then turned whatever negotiations in geneva into a surrender by the host these at this point in time after so many years of suffering i think calling the other party militias and terrorists and calling the the the those support in support of most who are. authentic yemenis that's pretty dangerous at this point in time so certainly a political solution is needed there is no other way but the political solution if anything time is not on the side of saudi arabia. and certainly not on the side of yemen simultaneously model on what we have going on right now also at the u.n. is the security council holding the session on the non proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and and we hear

/u.n. described that meeting as what will be the most watched security council meeting ever. the focus is expected to be the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. that meeting to take place on wednesday and lastly as you will expect a security here extraordinarily tight throughout new york city. barricades around the u.n. and hundreds of highly visible police. >> sandra: gridlock in new york city. love it. david lee miller. >> bill: a good week to walk everywhere. trade tensions heating up with china. trump administration tightening the screws tariffs kicking off today. money man charles payne how wall street is reaction and whether there is a resolution in sight. >> sandra: michelle obama hitting the campaign trail calling out the nastyist. u.s. political climate. our a-team is on deck to react to that. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a

everyone to make the u.n. a source of justice instead of cruelty, we had to dedicate ourselves more fully to the tasks bestowed upon us. esteemed delegates, turkey is sustaining its efforts toward a fair world through its global humanitarian diplomacy. inside our borders, we are currently hosting 4 million refugees, 3.5 million of which are coming from syria. this is unprecedented on a global scale and they have access to all forms of services that one could ever need. we have spent $32 billion for the care of the rest -- refugees so far. in syria that we have previously secured, we have provided humanitarian aid to millions of people in need just like the de-escalation zones that have recently been declared in the city of england. the number of syrian students attending school in turkey is well above 600,000. residents and our country have access to all the health care services free of charge just like any other turkish citizen. we attended to all the needs of the refugees that are in the turkish protection c

or joining the u.n. session trump vented his anger against china to accusing it of meddling in the upcoming u.s. midterm elections but he goes down off now explains such claims have been heard before in fashion the talent too does own his a design as bread and butter in political fashion donald trump markets themselves as chief. and it looks like russia is going out of style not once was it mentioned in trump's un speech regrettably we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election coming up in november. against my administration they do not want me or us to win because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade washington's needlework has already retailing their agenda actions that china has taken undermine a rules based order unfair trade practices particularly by china the chinese are very active we can watch very focused efforts to steal american information well china we here at r.t. know what it's like to be showcased in the window of the whi

brokered talks the u.n. or an umbrella body that oversees so many countries but it's it was what the saudis were dictating on the ground in yemen that really did meant that these talks failed well i assume actually when martin defense make such an announcement with international commitment and attention for the negotiations that take care to take place in geneva that he secured already an explicit unconditional approval from the south this is that this would happen but for the saudis to insist that nor they can't come on and on and on many a plan and they can come on a u.n. airplane it would be something that the talks to the ill intentions the positions of where they really stand on these things because. at the end of the day and all many airplane will not be smuggling weapons for them give them the money at a plant and live in congo the doc said let's talk about the agenda it's really a shame that the negotiations even failed to launch and that we have disagreeing on even you know how they get there well i

we speak to the u.n. humanitarian chief who is warning of famine could strike at any time in the war torn yemen. and i'm going the philippines of another landslide which has killed fifty people families the victims say it was a manmade disaster. welcome to the program the u.s. has warned russia is making a major mistake by deploying its state of the art missile defense system in syria the kremlin sending the s. three hundred system to syria a week after one of its planes was mistakenly shot down by syrian anti-aircraft fire at the time syrian air defenses were responding to raids by israeli jets in the province of attack where we challenge reports. russia's s. three hundred the air defense system that's russia has held off from supplying to the syrian military until now. within two weeks a modern surface to air missile system the s three hundred will be handed over it's capable of intercepting air assault weapons on a range of more than two hundred fifty kilometers and at the same time can hit multiple ae

the u.n. special envoy to yemen says he's hopeful the airport in the capital sana'a will reopen next week the saudi a morality military coalition shut off commercial access to the airport in twenty sixteen of the city was taken by who the rebels laughton gryphus also told al jazeera is working on resuming talks with the warring parties a soon as possible. it's going to be within weeks i don't think we can allow it to be delayed until kind of over the horizon because the problem with that is and i've been reassured this week between people here in new york that people lose the narrative of peace and once you lose the opportunity to talk about a settlement the narrative of war becomes dominant and that's what we was trying to get away from the mineral yemen's government says it won't allow the u.n. mission to continue investigating human rights violations in the country and accuse the u.n. of bias after investigators released a report on alleged war crimes are the rubber months or hardy's govern

sacrifice any kind of hope for an interest in dialogue the u.n. command what is it is it and a analog to the berlin wall in the twenty first century. what is being done by the united states can be considered as violations under a security council resolutions enshrined in all resolutions where we're talking about finding a peaceful settlement of the conflict on the other hand all of these steps of fully in line with a policy of exerting maximal pressure on pyongyang the united states are becoming increasingly aggressive in trying to subjugate the security council sometimes we're left of the impression that in washington they're confusing the u.n. security council and the national security council of the united states. and the meeting today is no exception to that unfortunately i would like to also yet once again draw your attention to the status of the so-called you and troops in korea the commander of these troops is at the same time the commander of the u.s. forces in korea and the joint to us republic of korea command from the viewpoint of inter

in the space of a couple of days old couple of weeks now with the u.n. agencies they must pass they must have they must. have meant much without medical help the the whole range of the whole many care in a needed and these in a situation of war so these it's reading the might become. local said very very big money can catastrophe probably the biggest we have seen on the twentieth century and young you know we have seen humanitarian disasters before in aleppo and eastern new guta do you get the sense there that there is this there's this feeling that they just need to brace for the inevitable that this is going to happen. well yes. and you know at the same time as the old regime is sort of comparing the ground offensive we have u.n. troops the engine even between the u.n. special envoy on the one hand and syria. is to russia and iran and on the other hand and he's trying to dissuade. the russians and the iranians to stop the offensive but i think that's a huge tonic for sighed the feeling among so many. workers and the many caring she said that this. it's

the u.n. says a quarter of a million afghans have abandoned their homes so far this year in search of water that's five times the number displaced by fighting between government forces and taliban and i still find it is doing the same period more than two million people are at risk of not having enough to eat the u.n. says one hundred fifteen million dollars is needed to help those affected we've now got a quarter of a million people who have been displaced almost certainly because of the drought and this is the number that we thought we would see by the end of this year so we're currently revising our figures but my main message is the situation's extremely serious and we need to act faster now many families in the camps a surviving on a single meal a day many get by on just bread and water so. we've been here for four or five months and as you can see no one has helped us life is miserable we have no flour no sugar nothing the u.n. and partners are planning to deliver thirteen thousand tons

to the u.n. there was one thing he hardly talked about the palestinians he instead focused on iran claiming israel had discovered a new nuclear storage facility in tehran he then went on to boast about the strength of his relationship with the trumpet ministration so i want to use this opportunity to express israel's appreciation to president trump and ambassador here really for the unwavering support they provided israel at the united nations the palestinian president gave his message the moment he took to the podium and put too late and too little by jerusalem is not for sale. but how the sharman and the palestinian people's rights are not up for bargaining he went on to express his frustration at the actions of the trumpet ministration a lot and we awaited his peace initiative without most patients but we were shocked by decisions and actions he undertook that completely contradict the role and commitment of the us towards the peace process. and it is ironic that the american administration st
