u.n. headquarters up in new york and samantha power the u.s. ambassador time was accusing russia of being directly implicated in a crime the british ambassador in a background briefing i went to do the same i suggested to him that when an american ship shot down an iranian plane in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight killed almost three hundred people that turned out to be an accident that's what was decided in the end and why couldn't the ships shooting down of this malaysian plane have been x. the point here is that there's an opportunity to go after russia and they're not going to leave that opportunity the press of course follow barr's johnson's lead not rods with screaming headlines blaming russia again and you know the point is this should be a crime tried in a court as a right is suggesting it's a criminal case but if it comes about two years from now the idea is planted already in the public's mind that this was russian and the result of that trial if there is one will be not so important or even overlooked you know i read also remem

mentioned twelve from the united nations headquarters up there in new york now it seems like possibly that's not really something the u.s. has the power to do but the u.n. ambassador nikki haley has put out a statement saying that this still in no way violates the u.n. headquarters agreement they're closing as you mentioned that the syllabi in seattle say that it's simply too close to the u.s. submarine base and we believe that the twelve will come out of the united nations the forty eight are going to come from across the country they've basically said you have seven days get your family get out of the united states this is going to be seen as a really remarkable move from president donald trump after all president obama sent it closed some facilities and i'm trying to remember the number i think it was in a low twenty's those diplomats out of the united states because of the russian interference in the u.s. election that the intelligence chief says happened so this is a remarkable move from a president who again really seems like he's gone out of his way to not criticize or not provoke russia in any way and if we look at obama's sending of ships out

u.s. is expelling 60 russians, including 12 intelligence officers from russia's u.n. mission headquartersn new york. it is the largest expulsion of russian personnel ever by the united states. in addition, the trump administration offereded the closure of the russian consulate in seattle which officials say is near a base that houses a u.s. nuclear submarine. a senior trump official says the move is meant to tell moscow, quote, when you attack our friends, you'll face serious consequences, adding that it is meant to reduce the unacceptably numerous amounts of russian spies in the country. >> today's actions make the united states safer by reducing russian's ability to spy on americans and conduct covert operations and conduct national security. the u.s. and our allies and partners around the world make clear to russia that actions have consequences. >> so in total, 23 countries, including eu nations are expelling at least 138 russians. in the coming days, in the coming weeks, as well. a surprising step that keeps with russia's traditional tit for tat, russian state media is reporting that

u.s. history. let's take you live back to the u.n. headquarters in new york if you've been with us over the past forty minutes or so you'll know that the u.n. security council was planning a closed door meeting following a request from the palestinian envoy to the u.n. security council that request came after the events today seventeen palestinians killed by israeli security forces more than a thousand injured what they've managed to get as you're seeing there is an open door session as the president of the session declares the session is now up and running i suspect we will be going through maybe a couple of minutes of a preamble laying the groundwork for what's going on let's just get a sense of what's being said there because we do also have james bay is our diplomatic editor on standby but before we go to james let's just get nigeria of what's going on there at the u.n. . the president members of the security council as you know today this great return march near the gaza fence has unfortunately resulted in violence there is only information i

u.s. action the european action going to play out at the u.n. headquarters of diplomacy. well i think you're likely to see a further tit for tat as it's called with the russians then expelling americans the fact that some of these russians were actually here at the united nations not just serving. as russian diplomats in the u.s. embassy i think is very significant i think russia will be very angry about that its proud of its role the united nations is proud of its seat on the security council its permanent seat on the security council it thinks that's very strategically important so i think russia will be angered about this and what it ultimately means i think is more problems in not just the u.n. but international diplomacy getting things done around the world there's been a problem i think for four years now since the an exaggeration of crimea things have been getting more and more difficult in relations between the russians and the americans and the russians and the rest of the western countries think about syria think about yemen think about those sort of crises for

u.n. headquarters in new york and joins us now of course on what's been the reaction that to that warning yes another warning from nikki haley that the u.s. might be prepared to take action in syria if things don't change well the debate changes a little in the security council with the united states leading efforts on one side to push for the cease fire and the russians. backing up the syrian government in its continued attacks on civilian areas saying that it has a right to do this because it's going after so-called terrorist groups to give you a little context this was a briefing fifteen days after a cease fire resolution was passed by the security council the briefing revealed that the facts the intended effects of that resolution really haven't happened not only is the fighting still continuing aid humanitarian aid is still having trouble getting into the area and civilians are having trouble getting out so what the united states said is they are prepared to offer up this second cease fire resolution which would go into effect immediately and would not have any kind of a loophole for so-called terrorist groups which is what the russ
