u.n. general assembly this time around video messages being sent in from world leaders a manual macron used his submission to the assembly to call for answers from moscow when it came to the alleged poisoning of alexei navalny. we will not tolerate chemical weapons being used in europe russia or syria in the name of collective security i repeat my message to russia that everything must be done to shed light on this assassination attempt against a political opponent using a neurotoxic agent novacek whose clarification need to take place quickly because we will make sure our red lines are respected and on this subject france has always been at the forefront of making sure those red lines are respected since i've been the president of the republic. well it's all very well and good for a manual not quantity you ask but of moscow but france is one of several countries that russia has asked for assistance when it comes to the evidence and information relating to the election of on the case france sweden the o.p.c. w the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons based in the hague where

u.n. general assembly we're expecting president trying to speak within the hour we'll be listening to that live but just hearing what we just saw there in that report where does the u.n. stand now 75 years then yeah well it's a mixed picture and i suppose as you would expect for any institution after such a long time. but i mean the overall picture and world affairs is obviously looking pretty battered at the moment and i think that applies to the u.n. especially. obviously the purpose of the u.n. is a vehicle for international corporation is buzzword of multilateral is what does that mean it means it's a place where countries go and they try to work together to achieve a common good so not each country working for its own but to agree there are certain things that are common goods and we try to work towards those and that very idea the whole idea of doing that is being challenged incredibly strongly at the moment by this wave of right wing populism wave of nationalism essentially of various different stripes but it has kind of in common this idea that so well expressed by donald trump of

u.n. general assembly normally when leaders come here of qatar is one who comes very regularly to u.n. events and to speak here at the u.n. general assembly maybe in part because he's one of the younger gulf leaders mostly other gulf countries do not send their heads of state or have them speaking so talking of the blockading countries i think it is noticeable and will be one of the most important things we see on wednesday that we do actually have a speech for the king of saudi arabia's king solomon will be speaking in a video recorded speech here to the general assembly on wednesday that will be one to watch ok thank you for that for now that sound diplomatic editor james baker. is their senior political analyst now and bashar joins us again from paris marianna's talking there to james about the america cause address what were your takeaways what stood out for you but probably the most important thing is the is this serious speech in light of the blockade. that was lucky because of the talks was issued on those very specific issues that the emir emphasize to the speech.

this year's general assembly the official position and we know that some of the videos have come in quite late is that all of the videos and all of the speeches that you're seeing at the u.n general assembly are recorded not taking place alive had to be submitted to the u.n. for days before the start of the general assembly session so it is unlikely that recent developments will get reflected and less he was and he may well have been aware of this information beforehand it will be interesting to listen to mahmoud abbas will be speaking straight after the pope who is speaking to the general assembly session right now we're telling you that pope francis has made a very very strong call in the time of covert 19 for debt relief to hear what else about us has to say because this has been a very difficult year for the palestinians starting off of course early in the year with the long awaited shop plan for the middle east a plan that the palestinians certainly condemned the words a tall happy with has been a difficult year for the international community as well with the talk at various points israel had its 3rd election of imminent annexation now what we've had instead of thes

general assembly where the u.s. acting deputy ambassador to the u.n. is speaking let's this nation it is for good reason that those who compose the u.n. charter and frame the u.s. constitution began with a reminder that government and multilateral institutions exists to serve the people it is my great honor today to represent the american people president donald j. trump and u.s. ambassador to the united nations kelly craft as we mark the 75th anniversary of the united nations 75 years ago the united states stepped forward when this bold new venture known as the united nations needed a permanent home and we remain proud to service that home to this day. it is hard to grasp the remarkable evolution of the united nations over the last 75 years from cautious early steps among a few global leaders today's vast networks of organizations agencies and functions the un has grown well beyond the vision of its founders and yet it is that vision that grounds this institution and must continue to guide its every action it is outlined clearly in the un charter and

u.n. general assembly just half an hour or so before his chinese counterpart xi jinping was due to speak is of course a very. pretty sort of aggressive thing to do within the context of a debate. of course there is a debate going on about how china handled the early days of the outbreak whether it was fully transparent with other countries around the world as the early signs of the outbreak in the end of last year beginning of this year came along but critics would say well what donald trump is really doing is deflecting attention from his own administration's failures in in keeping the virus under control in the united states and because you know just very recently the u.s. has passed the grim milestone of 200000 deaths to the coronavirus so he has every incentive just a few weeks now before an election of aiming fire at china. and he did that on many different subjects not just talking about the coronavirus but still you know we are at a moment geopolitically where china's rise is really challenging the united states is previously the sole superpower we happened to have affectively to nat
