the un's general assembly is coming forward in september. the next stop in the diplomatic circuit internationally where we could see the possibility of heads of state coming and talking about these problems. i think the doctor is softening the ground getting these messages out here, that's his job. his job is to voice those concerns and be polite but tough . i hope we will see some diplomacy at the u.n. general assembly. the biden administration is considering the possibility of some sort of gathering. there is still time for preparation. there are no clear plans laid down but there is a possibility that we could see some action in the next couple of weeks at the u.n. general assembly in new york in september. host: albert is calling from sewall, new jersey. good morning. caller: good morning, how are you doing? i want to understand what is going on. when the delta strain was all on the news and it wasn't in america yet, how come the biden administration and everybody didn't close and stop the travel from border and people from coming into o

not yet made commitments they need to come forward with further finance commitments at the un general assemblyhe un climate change conference which is taking place in november. it is also known as cop26. he is the president of that, he has been doing a lot of travel recently, trying to get some earlier agreement in place ahead of that conference e meeting world leaders, the conference taking place in november, and of course, responding to that really critical report that was released today, but the un�*s ipcc. we will find out more about what is being said in that discussion, it is ongoing, we will bring more to you as we get the top lines coming in, in the meantime, we are going to hear your thoughts on this. it is your questions answered. with me is our environment analyst roger harrabin. and i�*m joined by dr michal nachmany, ceo of the organisation climate policy radar and a visiting lecturer at the london school of economics. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. let us kick off. we have had a question sent in, by paul, who is based in kent, and he says why hasn�*t more been done to b

to get this done strictly in accordance with the guiding principles of the un enshrined in resolution of the general assembly. 4682 mister president. we understand the reasons that it's cited the authors to try to use the authority of the security council to adopt the resolution in this form and such a tight timeframe. but perhaps if we'd had more time, the result of the vote would have been different floating. at the same time, we can see in this an attempt to shift the blame for the failure collapse of the 28th of the presence of the united states and their allies in the region upon the taliban. and also the countries in the region. they will have to deal with the results of this, this irresponsible action on behalf of the western coalition visa. and is not surprising, given the purely formal way in which the form that international security forces. the nature mission reported before the council, which subsequently was replaced by the resolute support training mission place. for our part, the russian federation has consistently called for a peace, safe and going to stand on his territory. that would be no

and those earlier documents and international law that the security council, the general assembly, and the un human rights council have repeatedly said, israel isn't flagrant violation of so it's no great logical step to say that if the settlements are, are great breach of the 14 convention and using or should the same language there war crime under the 1998 our own statute. well, israel obviously denies war crimes. the united states doesn't to be really recognized view in human rights council. and presumably it's now up to the international criminal court to decide on the allegations of war crimes. does that mean that any businesses here in britain say, or in the you, if they are involved in the settlement building or house destruction, or they facilitating war crimes? sure. mean that definition that was created in 1998 is quite broad. it says any, basically any actions directly or indirectly. those are the key words that are in the definition of war crimes in the rome statute maybe may amount to person the prosecution of those involved in it. so it would be, obviously, these really military

good to get your thoughts on this developing story her and me there talking to us from assemble the un secretary general and so any good cherish says he is cause deeply disturbed by reports coming from areas taken over by the taliban diplomatic editor james bay's reports now from the united nations in new york. the sectors general said he believes afghanistan is currently spinning out of control. they're very concerned about some of the figures. for example, 241000 people and now estimated to fled their homes. he's also concerned about possible war crimes. he says the taliban have been targeting particular groups including women and journalists. and he had this message for the taliban. the message from the international community to those on the warp off path must be clear. seizing power through military force is a losing proposition that can only lead to prolonged civil war or to the complete isolation of afghan is done. i call on the tale about to immediately halt your fancies and to negotiate in good faith in the interest of afghan. it's done. and it's people. his urge to return to diplomacy. and tho

and what would happen at the un is it would then go to something called the credentials committee of the general assembly. and then the general assembly itself may vote on whether the taliban actually take the seat in new york. but i think there's a possibility, and remember we've seen delegations of the taliban going to both moscow and to beijing in recent months. i think there's a possibility. those 2 countries are likely down the line to recognise the taliban government in kabul. now, china's special envoy to have chemistry has met with iran, foreign minister jared's reef into her on many civilians and african soldiers fled across the border into iran. china recognizes the on group last known, held official talks for the high level delegation, including the telephones co founder and deputy leader, chunky ally jones long she johnson. john. china has always respected up janice and sovereignty independence and territorial integrity and has not interfered into kenneth internal affairs has always followed a friendly policy towards all afghan people. china respects the rights of the african people to decide

and what would happen at the un is it would then go to something called the credentials committee of the general assembly. and then the general assembly itself may vote on whether the taliban actually take the seat in new york. that was russia and china, i believe, are now going to speak. hello, they are indeed. so let's take you back to the security council where we can listen to the chinese representatives to the united nations. sometimes i'm going to start the situation thing i was going to start has on the gum major changes. we have respects the wheel and choices the people of underlying the war in kennesaw has lasted for more than 40 years stopping the war. and the shipping piece is not owning the unanimous desperation of more than 30000000 people. it is also the common expectation of international community and the regional countries don't. the present task at a moment is to restore peace and stability and order as much as possible. so as to avoid unnecessary casualties and landscape refugees, to the ultimate extent possible. while the rights and interest of diplomatic emissions and personnel is go

the purpose of the special session the department recommends, would be for the general assembly to evaluate the ear grail at un. determine whether those violations show which candidate for president won the most legal votes, in the november 3rd election. and number three, to determine whether the election failed to make a proper and valid choice between the candidates, such that the general assembly could take whatever action is necessary to ensure that one of the slates of electors cast by the state, would be accepted by congress on january six. again, this is a letter, to georgia, dissipated december 20th. this is jeff clark, head of the justice department, writing this letter, telling the state legislature in georgia, that they should consider the election corrupt, because the justice department has looked into it and found all sorts of corruption. and therefore, the state legislature to take matters into their own hands, to replace the states biden electors with trump electors, and do it before january six. when the electoral college votes would be counted. in the letter, jeff clark even spells out that al
