u.n. security council will hold a meeting on myanmar on monday u.n. experts released a report calling for myanmar's top military generals to be prosecuted for genocide for crimes against the roof and other ethnic minorities want to jump on reports from neighboring bangladesh where hundreds of thousands of bringing a refuge. the u.n. says military commanders in me and more should be prosecuted for genocide against the real him. following their recent fact finding mission on me and more three investigators presented their report in geneva on monday. included among the findings that me and moore's armed forces also known as the top down took actions that in the words of the un investigators undoubtedly amount to the greatest crimes under international law. the mission has concluded that criminal investigation and prosecution is warranted focusing on the top tatmadaw or generals in relation to the three categories of crimes under international law genocide crimes against humanity and war crimes after attacks by rohinton gunmen in iraq and state a year ago

u.n. security council to add a north korean bank executive and a company to a blacklist that enforces travel bans and freeze assets united states also wants a russian bank and a chinese company hit with sanctions for allegedly dealing with north korea he one has kept sanctions pressure on even their leader kim jong un says he will work towards denuclearization u.s. action is to pay or has called on all nations to keep up the diplomatic and economic pressure it's worth remembering this isn't just an american security goal it is clear. allies within. the denuclearization both agree it is for their own security. i called on them to strictly enforce sanctions including the complete shutdown of the leadership to ship transfers of petroleum destined for north korea we have seen reports that russia is allowing for joint ventures with north korean firms and granting new work permits to north korean guest workers if these reports prove accurate and we have every reason to believe that they are that would be in variation of u.n. security council resolution twenty three seventy five here's government a

u.n. security council. well it really is going to come down to a matter of vigorous debate if the members of the security council even want to take up this issue because when they discussed the matter of protecting civilians as well as non-governmental organizations a journalist and other civilians from being really in the crosshairs between the israeli military and palestinian protesters a resolution that could have compelled this very report was vetoed by the united states and that's why the general assembly took up the matter so it's going to be first a question of whether or not they could even decide to even discuss what was passed in this general assembly resolution and they had to try to see whether there would be a way to put together such a document that could survive a u.s. threat of a veto if not compelling or at least convincing the u.s. to have stayed from voting on the better but the chances are it's very low it's worth noting again that does not it dorce any of these recommendations but it cer

u.n. security council resolution 2375. i want to remind every nation that has supported these resolutions that this is a serious issue and something that we will discuss with moscow. we expect the russians and all countries to abide by the u.n. security council resolutions and enforce sanctions on north korea. any violation that detractses from the world's goal of finally fully denuclearizing north korea would be something that america would take very seriously. >> those sanctions are aimed at cutting off a revenue stream to the north in the hopes of getting the country to end its nuclear program. last january our matthew chance saw an example of the conditions north korean worker face working in russia. here is his report. >> reporter: behind these gates, a hidden world of north korean labor where pyongyang sends its camera-shy workers to live and to earn hard russian cash. a crucial economic life line for moscow to the sanctioned north korean regime. >> sanctions is the wrong instrument to my mind. this is not the soluti

u.n. security council will be holding a closed door meeting later on friday to discuss the saudi admiralty coalition airstrikes that hit a bus full of school children in yemen fifty people were killed including the children some of them as young as ten now the un general secretary until you could terrorists has called for a product an independent investigation the u.s. state department spokeswoman defended the coalition air campaign in yemen while at the same time called for an investigation into the attack on the school bus we call in the saudi led coalition to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident we take all credible accounts of civilian casualties very seriously and we call on the parties to take appropriate measures to protect civilians in accordance with international law and urge all parties to investigate all reported is incidents of civilian casualties the home of the town has more from neighboring djibouti. talk in the hearing market than some of the provinces in north for me yemen is one of the last in the recent past the sodium that i had to call yo

this is one big issue the united nations security council is violating its own resolution, the u.n. resolution, and the second unprecedented phenomenon is that the u.s. is pushing the other member state of the united nations security council to violate united nations security council resolution to stop business with iraq. therefore, the u.s. also should say, should tell its own people, international community is really the united states of america responsible for implementation of united nations security council resolution or blocking of implementation of united nations secured council resolutions? amy: ambassador seyed hossein you teach at princeton university, what do you think is the greatest misconception americans have about iran? u.s., they'vee had no relations for many years. therefore, it is normal, it is natural that there are many misunderstandings, miscalculations, it misperceptions on the mac inside and even on the iranian side, to be fair. iranians also really cannot understand exactly what is going on in the u.s. more, the realities of iranian domestic situation, politi

u.n. security council we need solutions you know all those problems. primarily. ukraine this is something we've been working on for a long time. you have to see that so for. don't have. stable she is far so seeing that school year will start soon i hope that we could discuss a lasting cease fire and set up a commission. to contribute to the peace process in germany are ready to get involved in this work you know and we will also talk about. the us i think that. ukraine should continue to be involved in gas transfer to europe even after the in the north stream to pipeline use launched. another important subject is syria of course. you know we should do something about the humanitarian disaster in this country. it's more some progress has been made but. this situation is so far from being that she was normal once you get this fighting off. so we particularly hope that that we could take some specific steps with the constitutional commission we support the efforts by u.n. special envoy stuff from de mistura. on the joint comprehensive plan of action. with iran we wo

u.n. security council resolution 1973 that allowed military intervention inside libya. as never happened in the history of the u.n. security council with respect to the soviet union or russia. putin thought he made a big mistake. he said it live on television, his own president had made a mistake. i think that was the moment when putin decided, all right, this young guy, mr. -- president medvedev, he's been hood winked by the americans. he doesn't understand their true intentions. obama actually is no different than george w. bush. he said he wasn't going to do regime change and here he is now. and that i think was the beginning of the end of the reset. >> so now where are we? we're more than the beginning of the end. we're at the end of the beginning or the end of the end. it's truly at a terrible, terrible -- right now. potentially putin thought he could engage with president trump. instead we're in this massive investigation as to whether he had any influence on the u.s. election. you know, of course, hillary clinton believes that the russians actually sabotaged her e

u.n. security council needs to step in and i suppose the other problem is that you know within yemen we see that a lot of the groups in the tribes that wield power are not a toll being engaged by the u.n. or international powers because it's so splintered now we know that these u.n. sponsored talks in a debate taking place in september one of the prospects of it breaking the cycle of conflict any and then the problem with proxy wars is that local actors become dependent on hostage to regional international powers so while yemenis were involved in the whole of this in particular have been drivers for the crisis since two thousand and fourteen two thousand and fifteen but since then because of their involvement in saudi arabia the so-called coalition clearly it's really outside the hands of the yemenis in the yemenis as we've known them i mean and this really contrary to the reports that we're seeing in our days historically yemen has called the human side happy yemen yemenis are known for honey. and for a stimulant drug called cut that's what the country is known for it's not for honey it's

djibouti well the un security council says any investigation into the air strike in saddam must be transparent president jordan reports now from the united nations in new york. the u.n. security council met behind closed doors on friday to discuss the deadly school bus attack in northern yemen afterwards across statement in which the members of the council called for a credible and transparent investigation into the attack believed to have been carried out by the saudi coalition when asked what credible and transparent meant this is what karen pierce the u.k. ambassador to the u.n. had to say the important thing is a bit credible if there is an acceptable credible investigation then the council will want to consider next steps in the light that if any investigation held it's not credible the council will obviously want to review that and want to review this more it's necessary the security council statement did not resemble what the u.n. secretary general antonio guterres called for an independent investigation the saudi government has already said it's going to in take a close look at what happened during those missile strikes on thursday but there are critics who

u.n. security council or members of the u.n. to see have been talking about their plight and about these recommendations to charge generals and even more with crimes of genocidal intent now i spoke with one woman just about an hour ago she has five children they all fled from me and more here are two cox's bizarre bangladeshi good to belong can for they've been the past year and she was telling. these were horrific stories about atrocities that she witnessed against the other women in her village as she and her children were fleeing the rapes and the killings that had been committed and she was saying it's about time that international bodies such as the you when did something about this she was heartened by this talk that there could potentially be charges brought about against these generals and me and more she said if that happens it will be good but it really at this point doesn't impact their daily lives here elizabeth and mohamed despite the severity of you know the allegations the crimes that have been committed against t

u.n. security council.also three latin american governments meet to discuss the growing crisis of migrants fleeing venezuela and. really think it is the eligible lot of people i think that president trump goes after social media giants claiming they're trying to silence conservative voices. welcome to the program the united nations says all sides fighting in yemen may have committed war crimes investigators describe saudi a morality airstrikes as the single most deadly element of the conflict but they also point to rub in sexual violence recruitment of child soldiers attacks by hooty rebels alan fischer reports from neighboring djibouti. none have clean hands a un panel three experts investigating and a damning conclusion individuals in the government of yemen and the coalition including saudi arabia and the united arab emirates may have conducted attacks in violation of the principles of distinction proportionality and all precautions which may amount to war crimes. the u.n. top human rights body commissio

u.n. security council or the members of the security council to actually turn words into deeds because one year since those atrocities happened one year since what this report describes as genocide crimes against humanity and war crimes we have still not seen the u.n. security council do anything except issue one tersely worded statement about it so i think there's a huge onus of responsibility on them now to actually do something because something your report didn't mention was that earlier today facebook actually shut down a number of pages of me and my generals because of incitement to hatred because of their complicity in the genocide but so far facebook has done more than the un security council to actually hold perpetrators of these account of these atrocities accountable and that's just not good enough. that i was there when the initial influx in bangladesh i was covering this when the initial influx in september of last year and even then we were hearing all these stories from them they were all being corroborated why do you think it's taken this long for the u.n. to take any actio

u.n. security council must take forward to decide whether or not they recommend the international criminal court the i.c.c. it is a two hour issue genocide indictments against the military but is a good first step in the right direction going to go to the u.n. security again because this fact finding mission to find that i mean mine was committing genocide and now the security council is going to have to whether or not you are referred to the i.c.c. the problem here. is the fact that shot both china and russia which are bulls permanent members of the u.n. security council have been tested this reporting to me and my government and they will be told and so again there's going to need to be more international market pressure you're going to start to see many security council member countries issue sanctions against madam our travel freezes similar to what the united states and our u.s. treasury department has recently done so then we're going to start to see the ratcheting up of pressure against me on mars government with this genocide. facebook has taken down pages linked to military offici

u.n. security council needs to approve this and what the u.s. holding that veto power there what would happen but these proposals of they want to go into effect. well that's really the rub this resolution of this the resolution that compelled the publication of this report was done so by the general assembly and that was after the u.n. security council considered ordering the secure the secretary general to do this but the united states vetoed that resolution so it went to the general assembly this report that has now been issued doesn't have the same amount of weight but it certainly does start a lot of new conversations in the security council about how to proceed how to keep the israelis and the palestinians from fighting with each other this is also something that has as of right now guarded any international reaction because it's friday evening here on the east coast of the united states it is the sabbath in israel it's the end of the holy day of the week. also in the west bank and in gaza and so we're probably not going to get any reaction

u.n. security council has discussed syria and the threat of a government offensive in the last remaining rebel held province western governments are saying that russia is trying to sow confusion by saying rebels and the province may stage a chemical attack and then blame it on government forces but toyah gate and the reports this morning. call this emergency meeting of the u.n. security council to warn the syrian rebels supported by western governments might stage a chemical attack then blame it on syrian government forces western diplomats dismiss that idea as ridiculous i think even the egregious stand russian propaganda this is an extraordinary fake news story of course we are not going to do anything remotely a kin to a chemical weapons attack we take our chemical weapons prohibition responsibilities extremely seriously western governments say russia's claims are meant to say confusion and pave the way for yet another chemical weapons massacre by syrian government forces russia's ambassador strongly denies this. we are seeing how some western countries are clearly supporting al nasra fight

u.n. security again because this fact finding mission to find me in my room was committing genocide and now the security council is going to have to do whether or not you are referred to the i.c.c. the problem here. is that both china and russia which are a bull's permanent members of the u.n. security council have been tested this reporting to me and my government and they all are and so again there's going to need to be more international market pressure you're going to start to see many security council member countries issue sanctions against me out of our troubles freezes similar to what the united states and our u.s. treasury department has recently done so then we're going to start to see the ratcheting up of pressure against myanmar government with this thing you touched on the point that genocide is a very important word to use in a scenario like this and in speaking to you before this interview you also said that genocide makes the government to naypyidaw comply and to stop doing what they're doing but they've always denied genocide they've always denied targeting their writing so how do you actually
