u.n. security council was briefed by the united nations head of its mission here in mali the french ambassador described the events here is a need for a major wake up call the un peacekeeping force here is mandated due to be renewed at the end of this month a lot of people are asking. what can be done to try and make it more effective to protect people from this rising into communal violence don't go on farmers and forlornly herds people for generations have had low level conflicts over grazing land livestock trampling on crops and so on but in the past these were typically resolved with meetings between community leaders or if there was violence fairly low level of violence but conflict in northern mali in recent years has brought a prevalence of weapons and banditry and also a lack of presence of the state in central mali in the form of security but also in the form of education policing and other public services has led to these age old tensions escalating into the kind of brutal into communal violence that we're seeing now britain's former foreign secretary boris johnson has topped the 1st

and what we've been trying to do is to get iran to be him like a normal nation united states is calling for a u.n. security council meeting to take place on monday the united states maintains that this drone was shot down in international waters and this was essentially an attack on the united states iran says it has wreckage of the drone and can prove that not only did the drone violate iran's territory in the south of the country but that it was shot down in iran's territorial waters so at this point all eyes on the international community and on the united nations security council in the hopes that things can be resolved i think i would say thanks be to god that he did it and they would have had far more than 150 people killed and although all his advisors pump aoa gina asphalt the torturer in chief bolton they're all constantly calling for the u.s. to attack iran he didn't do it so i would say that's a very good son maybe he's harking back to his campaign promises of peace and nonintervention so let's hope the president acts like a man of peace that's what he needs a fact to be reelected i think probably the a

and what we've been trying to do is to get iran to behave like a normal nation the united states is calling for a u.n. security council meeting to take place on monday the united states maintains that this. drone was shot down in international waters and this was essentially an attack on the united states iran says it has records of the drone and can prove that not only did the drone violate iran's territory in the south of the country but that it was shot down in iran's territorial waters so at this point all eyes on the international community and on the united nations security council in the hopes that things can be resolved. i'm a political science professor at the university to run down strobe intended to attack i think the fact that the uranium is we're able to shoot down one of the most advanced aircraft out of the us air force has been very humiliating for the image of the u.s. military as well as for donald trump himself who likes to project an image of a strong arm leader and i think donald trump is trying to rebuild that image essentially by saying that you know we give him the reins very hard but we decide

taken so far is petitioning the united nations to look into the matter to look into what they characterize as a violation of their sovereignty of course the u.n. security council will be meeting to discuss escalating tensions between the united states in iran and iran in this region a little later today a little later on monday and iran iranian officials here and to her on will be looking to that meeting hoping that there is some kind of acknowledgement for the roots of these tensions they of course blame the united states solely for escalating tensions in the region creating an insecure atmosphere for all of the countries in the region and they have said over and over again they will not negotiate with the united states but during the press briefing mr mousavi did say that the iranian officials are open to negotiating with their neighbors. mann's what issue does most like it up we've said for a while that iran is always prepared for dialogue with neighboring countries in the region this is aligned with the interests of all regional states we've recently made a proposal for the signing of a non-aggression pact and an assembly for dialogue these are the solutio

following events for a set the united nations what's been the reaction there might well the whole issue has dominated proceedings at the morning session of the u.n. security council it wasn't on the agenda the session in fact was discussing cooperation between the league of arab nations and the united nations but every speaker at some stage referred to what had happened in the gulf including the u.n. secretary general petraeus who had this to say i strongly condemn any attack against civilian vessels facts must be established and responsibilities gratified and they for that is something the world cannot afford is a major confrontation in the gulf region well the russian ambassador echoed those sentiments saying that there must not be premature pointing of blame and the general secretary for the league of arab nations also had to say this is what he eats his remarks mike hanna certainly don't have that sound like just there mike hanna thank you very much indeed and the united nations now dosage are as they said reaction from the iranian capital tehran. raney and president rouhani before departing for his trip to push back made a statement in which he stressed the

sudan is also on the agenda at a closed door session at the united nations security council a diplomatic editor james bass joins me now from u.n. headquarters in new york so james what we expect from from that meeting will certainly we've got growing calls condemning what has gone on so far in terms of this crackdown as you say the so-called 3 troika countries which tend to lead the diplomacy for the west the u.s. the u.k. and norway have condemned things one of those countries the u.k. has joined with another security council member germany to call for this meeting of the u.n. security council i can tell you for some hours there had been a question marco whether there would be a security council meeting because some council members weren't sure whether it would be useful at this stage but certainly that council meeting jus to start any minute in fact the council was in open session discussing central africa they've now gone into closed session is joining that closed meeting going to discuss the situation in sudan as i say the u.k. and germany called for that meeting and at the start of the meeting the german ambassador spoke

communal violence that's going on right now the head of the united nations peacekeeping mission in mali has been briefing the u.n. security councilmike hanna can join us now from u.n. headquarters in new york and what is he actually been saying like. well this was a briefing by the head of the peacekeeping mission the mandate for the mission's presence in mali ns at the end of this particular month it is likely to be renewed this is not the purpose of this particular session this is to hear what the situation is that present generally the head of the mission now is up to mystic about the political situation saying that the new government formed on the 2nd of may has given a hope that the long standing peace agreement can finally be properly implemented however he points out that the violence that has broken out particularly in the center of the country is a major stumbling block to any political agreement that may come down the line so certainly although he says there is a glimmer of hope he does say as well that what he calls for this hellish cycle of violence and must end before political agreement can be reached in that peace

editor james bays who joins us live now from the united nations james so we heard as we had there from the e.u. aid because the state u.n. security council couldn't agree. that's absolutely it was a 2 hour meeting of the security council away from the cameras at the end tacked on to another meeting about central africa and in that closed door meeting they were briefed by nicholas hayes the secretary general's special advisor on the situation in sudan he came out of the meeting and as the ambassadors continued to talk among themselves and said he hoped that there would be a common international position that could come out of the meeting that though did not happen and so as you saw the e.u. ambassadors came and gave a statement the statement i think that they would have liked the security council to have made but we got division in the security council why well after speaking to some of those who were in the meeting it's pretty clear what the dynamics were the europeans and the african nations were supportive of a statement by the security council the objections seemed to come mainly i'm told from china who made the view that this was an
