the u.n. system, dealing with human rights. he is certainly an important decision -- it is an important decision. what is particularly important is the fact that the resolution included this fact-finding mission. it was not clear all along that this fact-finding mission was part of the resolution. in fact, china had presented a last-minute appeal, so that that could be scrapped from the resolution. that did not pass, so the resolution also includes this very important fact-finding mission. all in all, german authorities are very pleased with today's result in geneva. >> how could this fact-finding mission actually work without physical access to the country? >> it is essentially seen as a step toward accountability. it is seen as a complement to the work that is already being done. for example by the u.n. special reporter of human rights in iran, so it is seen as a step toward accountability. but you want to be moving in the right direction because this is certainly the biggest challenge. how

there's a whole book on being a u.n. ambassador so i wanted in the book to kind of distill all of these different aspects of his into one easily readable book. i think that's the challenge that you gave yourself and succeeded at so well because as you say, there really is a book length study to be written on any these positions that he's held and there are so many the course of 90 years and for for a man of that age to still be as active as he is through his foundation, not just here locally, but internationally, he's out of country today, in fact, doing whatever calling is has led him to do. and i want to talk a little bit about, you know, how how he interprets how he prioritizes those those elements when he's asked to do that. but in a couple of interviews about this book i've seen him do, he keeps talking about his blessed life. and that's a he uses in the book as well. but also his accidental life that these weren't necessarily positions that he saw actively time time again. and he tells a great story about how and w

it was interesting because at that u.n.ecurity council meeting we were showing on our screens, the russian representative said those attacks, as he put it, will continue until, as he said, ukraine adopts a more realistic stance. he accused the west of fueling the conflict by providing weapons to ukraine and said the russians are going to continue to strike ukraine's critical infrastructure as long as the support continues. the russians believe this is part of their wider strategy. a lot of it, max, is for domestic consumption. in russia the attacks are something that's prominently played here on russian state tv. also playing clips from ukrainian television talking about the fact that there is no power, there is no water, that people are very cold and essentially trying to say that russia -- that it shows that russia is maded headway in what is called the special military operations. this is also, max, one of the ways in public opinion the russians have managed to put the defeat in kherson by showing they are striking that

and those the u.n security council kind of unravels these embargoes so the admit the arms embargoes expired the missile embargo expires next year and and we already know that iran is violating the missile embargo by providing drones to ukraine. it's fully intends to provide um some precision missiles. >> i want to i want to talk to you about drones but but but can we just for a moment i want to hold on okay on this um on the question of the jcpoa because i want to just make clear for the listeners here that you you've said what the the capacity that the iranians have right now when they're when they're in open violation of the of the of the jcpoa. i want to i want to nail down exactly what that is. my understanding please correct me if i'm wrong is that they have enough enough uranium enriched to 60 percent um such that if they decided to to enrich to weapons grade they could they could do it within about three weeks and they have enough uranium to have to to enrich enough material to weapons grade for five bombs is that is that about right. >> the 60 enrich uranium can be used dire

we did that when i was u.n. ambassador. in between us, i'm just getting started.eers and applause] we need to acknowledge what went wrong on november 8. but first, i want to talk about what went right. despite the headlines, we cleaned up in a lot of states. look at florida. i'm glad to be joined tonight by governor ron desantis. [applause] but don't listen to the media -- florida is far from the only bright spot that we had brian kemp handily defeated stacey abrams in georgia. greg abbott kicked beto o'rourke to the curb in texas and then there's iowa the good people of the hawkeye state flipped the attorney general seat, the state treasurer, both 40 year incumbents in those races. and at the top of the ticket governor, kim reynolds won in a historic victory, shepherding every single congressional race and picked up multiple state house races. like all of you, it was disheartening to see some losses. i also disagree that we had bad candidates. we fell short for a number of reasons. first, our candidates were completely out raised. the democrats blew us out of the

the u.n. secretary general at the climate summit. and we find out how italy is coping with not being at the football world cup. we begin in the united states where democrats and republicans are making last ditch appeals on the final day of campaigning before tuesday's crucial midterm elections. it upends joe biden's presidency with polls suggesting a republican comeback. democrats are facing control of both houses of congress. we have more on what's at stake and how it all works. >> they are called midterms because they come right in the middle of the president's four-year term. here's what's at stake. all 435 seats in the house of representatives where the democrats hold a tiny majority. and 35 of the senate's 100 seats. the senate is evenly divided so that means a change of control of one seat could put the republicans in charge. with all that voting across the country, the election really comes down to only a few battleground states. 10 of the 35 senate races are really competitive. joe bid
