and then in the mind of all the former un security council, now the development, the demo that is happening in the tell me pharmacist when i have to say that 73 percent, that's how we're publishing believe in the province. they all enjoyed it. all of it got all part of the most, many of them are part of these and i are present in the, in the part and there may be more than and what good are in the found program. his goal for the benefit to have people, pollution problems in america was get them off, i think as the united nations would have with would have to face. now when it know about when the heart yet there of what is when it started, i have to finish to answer your question, more of what is winning the hearts of the international communities. 85 percent of the u.n. member states, not the big indoor, the morocco's proposal. because we see that this is the only alternative to call that, that, that company ensures 45 years. let's remember that if a child was born in him as 1975, he's not worth the 5 years old. he doesn't have and you go to the other provinces and see the real change. ok s

i will say the last month the un security council passed a resolution calling for realistic, practical, and joining solution based on compromise. so city, do you think the un is sort of trying to push you away from the referendum idea and instead take what morocco was offered, which is this autonomy within the state of morocco? is that now not just a much more realistic and practical solution to this conflict. this friendly guys were a solution. the lotus 12584 has more than one. just simply operative paragraph. what you have just suddenly is operative paragraph 2, but there's also a part of the paradox for the mall, which calls for it peaceful mosque solution which provides for the stoppage in the nation. the people in warsaw are, which means 3 main facts recognition by the security council when people call people who questions are as political reality. recognition of horses are as a territory separate from or all over which is a lot more mizen suffered it. and thirdly, that any solution to the lasting peace will it must provide for result in a nation of people who are local is the la

to go through the uk any more, but there is still huge importance in relationship, we are a un security councilt in terms of security, and also there is that trade deal. yes, quite a lot of reverence on the uk side will some of the international organisations that a biden administration will be more interested in than the outgoing trump administration. if you think of the nato alliance, the who in the context of covid—19, the world trade organisation which the uk outside of europe is having a much more direct relationship with. heap on top of that, just embellish the sense james touched on there, the importance of climate and climate diplomacy in the next 12 months. we are already beginning to see this and we will see far more from the british government. a real leaning into climate is something borisjohnson wa nts to climate is something borisjohnson wants to be very much associated with a head of that summit in glasgow, scotland, which will take place in a year's time, postponed from this very weak. he will hope mr johnson has a far more —— he will hope that he has a far more sensitive ear in

the un security council is expected to discuss the unrest in northern ethiopia. later on tuesday, leaders in the region are denying government statements, though that the military's surrounding the regional capital mackellar prime minister, given the people's liberation front until wednesday to surrender. but the t.p.s. refused saying its people are ready to die in defense of their lands. the british drug company, astra zeneca and oxford university, say the late stage testing of a covert $1000.00 vaccine shows it is highly effective. and importantly, they say it can be stored fridge temperature, which would make it cheaper and easier to distribute. so aging finnigan's, along with the news are in around 25 minutes from now next. so viewfinder, latin america, the u.s. is always of impressive people all around the world. this has been going on for a number of hours with your gas being used to report story from an international perspective to try keep playing your global audience how this could impact their life. this is an important part of the world and others here

america will implement its commitments as part of the un security council resolution. and we would fulfill our commitments in the g, c p. o, and this needs no negotiation or conditions and it's feasible. i got a strong if mr. biden becomes president he'd be capable of lifting all sanctions. if he doesn't, it means he doesn't want to. ethiopia, the government says to ground forces are destroying bridges in an attempt to stop the military's advance to their main city. now this week, prime minister announced what he called a final offensive to end the conflict in the region. police in germany have fired water cannon at protesters in berlin. thousands of people have gathered in the capital to protest coronavirus restrictions. now it comes as the parliament is debating laws that would allow the government to impose coronavirus measures. critics say it gives the government too much power. well, the british government is under fire for its spending on safety equipment. after a watchdog found companies recommended by politicians were more likely to be given . covert 19 contrac

members had committed to not using force out of the area except with the you when -- with the un security council resolutions. russia's perception was that therefore we have veto power of nato's use of force outside the area. i am not speaking about the merits of that decision to use force and to prevent what was going on in kosovo, but i am simply highlighting that i think that that is tied to the subsequent narrative in russia about how nato is an instrument of threatening russia, and being an element of, as the authors point out, the threat to russia through color revolutions and regime change. but i want to come back to my main point, which is that the report makes very clear that the challenge we face right now is not hundreds of years of russian history. and it is not merely the mistakes that were made by many in the 1990's, but the emergence of a russian political system that is authoritarian, corrupt, and views the entire project of integration and modernization as a threat to itself at home. so the challenge that we face is not necessarily russia as it is, as the authors point out, which

reporter: the un security council were told the warning lights were blinking red with the world foodam the winner of this year's nobel peace prize talking of the risk of famine in months. >> literally would like to be pretty clear and blunt about the situation. i do not want a single person to leave here without any doubt about the scale of the humanitarian disaster we are now confronting in yemen. we are on a countdown right now for catastrophe in yemen. reporter:'s comments were echoed by the un's humanitarian coordinator who made it clear this was a man-made crisis. >> the yemenis are not going hungry. they are being starved. all of us. parties to conflict, humanitarian organizers and every one of us should do everything we can to stop this. time is running out. reporter: that begs the question who is starving yemenis. the wind is not saying but in recent years the bulk of humanitarian funding has come from two countries, saudi arabia and the united arab emirates, two countries who were also bombing yemen. this year they reduce their funding significantly. described as reprehensib

on tuesday, the un security council heldee its firstng over the conflict, and an african union delegationing to meet ethiopia's prime minister. i am not sure a warm welcome looks likely. the prime minister said that while we consider the concerns and advice of our friends, we eat -- reject interference in our internal affairs. we respectfully ask the international community to refrain from any unwel and unlawful acts of interference. there are repts of tigrayan soldiers that have been disarmed and sent home. let's get more. >> we are, as everything else in difficult to find informationry that can be independentl verified. we understand, oeat least we learning, that some soldiers, members of the military, and other citizens here -- they feel they are being sidelined and feel they are being basically intimidatedus or evend aside, and that is what they're reporting. the government has been saying that it is fighting with a number of rogue elements. even the prime minister was ying that. and there has been -- they have said trying to discriminate should not be done. in practice, it looks like

as growing alarm at the united nations over the escalating conflict and to create the un security council has been discussing the unrest privately while the high commissioner for human rights is warned, that highly aggressive rhetoric could make the situation even more dangerous for civilians and diplomatic as had james bays has more despite an increase of violence and a rapid deterioration of the humanitarian situation. this is the 1st time the situation in ethiopia has been discussed in the security council meeting. the un secretary general, antonio good terrorists had 1st advised them to let diplomacy by the african union and the regional grouping. egads be given a chance. now though he's urging the council to send a clear message on deescalation and the protection of civilians. we're following the reports of a possible military action around it currently with great, a lot of the secretary general is very, very concerned about the impact that will have on civilian population on our village, the deliver humanitarian aid carrier, which is also almost impossible to do so far that we have

russia continues to abide by all relevant resolutions of the un security council, of course, of the above. i don't think we can call this a peace agreement because we don't know yet how it's going to play out. let's say it's a quasi peace in agreement between 2 warring parties that has been brokered mainly by russian president putin. but this agreement triggered quite a response from the you expect that as a budget would resolutely claim that it won. and the loss of armenians would take the streets to protest. you name me a broken came. i'm in no position to comment on either the azerbaijanis response. all the armenians reaction. yes, it would be foolish of me to do that. i can only say that i appreciate the wise choice. the politicians made. it was the political modernist, which politicians president and i lived in until prime minister passion am. thanks to vladimir putin's efforts, they signed a joint statement and ended the hostilities stop the bloodshed. could you please elaborate on president putin's role in this agreement? how did he facilitate the trouble or just sit in or he playe

and what happens if you are against israeli violations of un security council? resolutions? i mean has, will, or m.p.'s democratically elected as well or in bees in beirut. and i used to live in beirut, then there sanctioned by the european union. any change for red has winner or i mean, even from normal activists who support palestine a bit about the blinken says the media. yes. the boycott divestment sanctions campaign is as anti semitic. yes. i think they're going to, they're going to put that into legislation. no, i don't think so. i think biden is a zionist, has always been, is on the brink, and it is his parents who choose jewish. his step father was caused by i don't think we're going to see much change and have tracked in israel, where almost sort of welcoming it. sigh. one person summed it up in this way and he said look, you know, bamma. he was just too rational. he didn't have the feel for the region a tool, whereas in their view, biden kemal are as who, but as a sign, as they feel our emotions, they understand our emotions, the emotional landscape much better for

and by the very body that we were to stop those conflicts, the un security council allowed for 14 months of conflict to take place in libya without having the means to stop it or the local actors that were willing it, namely khalifa, haftar and his libyan our own forces,, all the forces that were supporting him international actors from the u.a.e., egypt, russia, saudi arabia, france, none of those actors were sanctioned or condemned or criticized for this month. it is a danger here of really focusing on elections without realizing that elections are not controversial. you know, real problem here has always been, there holds power, let you know who is going to be the next president. which of the armed groups and the factions, only the solly is going to be designated the legitimate army. and i think those things are giving as a better indicator of the prospects for violence in the near future. that was, and from libya there are a sport now gulf c.e.o.'s master starts on thursday 7 months. like because of the pandemic and its players practice spain's john ron has had a shot that has to be

perfectly lawful united states that the right thinking of the earth by human security council resolution is just wrong but well the un security council resolution is dead wrong and it's been wrong in the past but but but as for why. he will stand by the decisions made by president trump the only place you'll never get perhaps is on the iran deal where he'll go back and try to get a better deal from iran but he won't reverse truce and we won't reverse the golan heights and he certainly won't reverse the peace process between israel and the gulf states which is a very 'd positive development to israel as nothing different not that much difference between trump obama i think biden will 'd be better than obama but not quite as good for israel 'd as trump but i think biden will be fine i've known biden for 40 years he's always been pro israel generally and i think support for israel warming bipartisan among the democrats and the republicans with a few exceptions on the hard left of the democratic party prince around thank you thank you often the break washington ballots to washington bullets will the u.s. election do litt

needs to find the right candidate, but also get agreement from the un security council. certainly in this letter, there's a call from the polisario front to meet. i'm told no meeting is scheduled. anchor: the polisario front representative joins me now live from valencia in spain via skype. mr. omar, thanks for joining us. according to the moroccan authorities, the polisario, or its malicious, in any shape -- malicious, -- militias, in any shape or form, what is the position as far as you're concerned? >> well, the fact of the matter is that we have a group of civilians who have been protesting peacefully and nonviolently, as confirmed by the united nations. they are in an area in the western sahara on a road that was built illegally by morocco, and engaging in peaceful protests. but today, the moroccan authorities, the military forces moved into the gaza strip in flagrant violation of the cease-fire agreement and attacked those civilians with brutal force. and that was a very serious breach of the cease-fire agreement that we have with them. so we have a situation where

un security council resolutions, they're not implemented. and no visible efforts are carried out by international community in order to enforce them against this background as over. don't enforce middleweights, legal abides or it's ok to tory's is absolutely justified. it is was an international low. and if there is someone to blame for the start, of course though this, it is armenia and i would say international organizations, because international organizations didn't do their job and armenia the everything to keep the occupation. and when the military actually hostilities started, again, international community, even now they didn't do anything, the whole retort, it was around stopping milk to operation. it was not about ending illegal occupation. they should have called armenia to withdraw its troops from a survey labs. but now, what we see now is that the peace deal ending military hostilities in the occupied territories is the demonstration of as a rare chance wheel to reach sustainable peace and to restore azerbaijan's international i

the ayes of the world will be on the uk as we estimate the presidency of the g7 and of the un security councilllor has turned its back on the world poorest by cutting—edge national aid. it is in britain's national interest to lay the foundations for economic growth across the world. no wonder many british businesses have condemned his move and businesses have been more and more vocal about the problems with this government's last—minute approach, always one step behind when we need to plan responsibly for the future. we must learn the lessons from previous failures and ensure that the next challenge, the roll—out of the vaccine, is dealt with efficiently, effectively and speedily. next time, mr speaker, we need a comprehensive spending review which takes responsible choices, to build a future for our country is the best place in the world to grow up in and the best place to grow old in. people should have opportunities on their doorstep, not at the other end of the country. everywhere in the uk should feel like a good place to set up should feel like a good place to set up home. that is what t

different story as iran signed a major nuclear agreement with the 5 permanent members of the un security council china france russia the u.s. and the united kingdom plus germany iran's relationship with western powers including the u.s. had never been better there was hope that the nuclear deal would allow iran to rejoin the world economy then in may of 2018 donald trump announced the united states was leaving the nuclear agreement because in his words it's not a good deal at all for americans. they raney of leadership quickly condemned the withdrawal and urged the remaining signatories abide by their commitments to the deals. and in november 2 years ago the united states imposed the most stringent sanctions on iran no one was allowed to buy iranian oil except 8 countries which were heavily reliant on it including iraq more sanctions followed what the united states called its maximum pressure campaign in an attempt to bring iran back to the negotiating table for a new nuclear deal which would include the rain in the listing missile program. but the commander in chief ayatollah ali khamenei said

'd iran's progress in the nuclear field and other factors are they had been on the un security council list of sanctioned individuals. iran had never allowed him to be interviewed by the international atomic agency. his whereabouts were also kept secret. the killing will also raise questions about the country's internal security. iranian officials are already vying to respond while saying the nuclear program will continue. but the timing of this assassination comes when iran is waiting for president elect joe biden, to return the u.s. to the 2015 nuclear deal. a treaty intended to keep iran's nuclear program peaceful, most and for the most senior and crucial scientists killed to date. this threatens to complicate any future talks and further increase tensions in the region. aside. big al jazeera, the iran let's go live in teheran so strong reaction to also from the need to say, all blaming israel for this assassination. yes, we heard a statement that was issued by the country's highest authority. that's the hominy who said that the country must investigate the events that unfolded and

he was subject to a un security council asset freeze because the council says iran refused to make him available for an interview with the international atomic energy agency. as a bank has more now from teheran, the intelligence ministry has said that they're launching an investigation. now this is a very high profile, killing in fockers are there was a high profile nuclear scientist. now he had been targeted in the past going back 10 years. so his movements were highly protected. it was kept a secret and there will be questions internally about how this has happened, how the security breach has happened. but there has been official response. foreign minister divides, raef has pointed his finger at israel, the head of the armed forces. he has also blamed israel and the defense advisor to the supreme leader, ayatollah khomeini, has said that the perpetrators will be targeted now most. and there was also known as the father of iran's nuclear program. he was given that name by some individuals outside of the country. now that nuclear weapons program was around 2003, some activities went o

one seemed can be done automatically, america would implement its commitments as part of the un security council resolution, and we would feel our commitments in the g. c.p.o. . this needs no negotiation or conditions and it's feasible. only boy, did i go to mr. biden becomes president, he'd be capable of lifting all sanctions. if he doesn't, it means he doesn't want to have vegas' in tehran as his own going sanctions are. a key issue in iran gave an interview to an iranian newspaper, and his message is both to a domestic audience and an international one. he said that the united states must return to the deal and lift those sanctions. in fact, he said it would only take president elect joe biden, 3 executive orders to revoke everything. donald trump has done now, that shows that the iranians are paying attention to what's taking place in america . and also trying to understand the political system. president elect joe biden expressed his willingness to rejoin that 2015 nuclear deal. but he had some caveats . he wants iran to return to their commitments, which iran has been reducing since donald

that he himself was subject to a un security council asset freeze because iran refused to make him available for an interview with the i.a.e.a. . well, let's speak to mark fitzpatrick. he's an associate fellow at the international institute for strategic studies. and he was also previously a u.s. deputy assistant secretary of state. he joins us now from washington. d.c. no one has yet determined if. ringback a state actor was involved here, but to assassinate someone of the standing, can you talk us through the, the strategic calculus as you see it here? sure. 2 different levels. suppose the noble is that they was critical to the past development of iran's nuclear weapons program. it program that has largely been on hold for the past 15 years. they has been maintaining the personnel and the organizational apparatus to get it going again, should in order come. and the purpose of the assassination, presumably austin simply is to prevent iran or to impede iran from building nuclear weapons in the future. but the more logical reason for doing this now because iraq was not on the verge of buildin

america will implement its commitments as part of the un security council resolution. and we would feel our commitments in the way this needs no negotiation or conditions and it's feasible. i got to give mr. biden becomes president he'd be capable of lifting all sanctions. if he doesn't, it means he doesn't want to. if you appears, government says to grand forces are destroying bridges in an attempt to stop the militarism vans to the main city. this week, printed by minister ahmed announced what he called a final offensive to end the conflict in the region. but kali's, the main base for the people's liberation front or p l. f. 3 and fighters have refused to comply with government demands to put down their weapons. well, how about those following the developments from addis ababa. the fighting is going on, all particularly on the western part of the ticket, a region where the fighting has been more intense ever since. it started, as you said, they are up to 4 bridges have been destroyed by the people's liberation front, those bridges leading to the city of mick. as we w

september 27th the region is internationally recognized this pos of azerbaijan according to 4 un security council resolutions but not gonna cut it back has been run by ethnic amini and since the war in 1994 hundreds of thousands of as areas were displaced during the conflict then the weeks. fighting have involved tekkie which is backed azerbaijan and russia which has a defense treaty with mania let's bring in which a chance to he say purpose soria lecture in the department of political science at george washington university joins us from washington d.c. many thanks for speaking to us richard f.s.k. your reaction to this news. well it unexpected and the. end of the conflict seemingly as declared by this through this a statement by prime minister nico passing on which as you have said was highly emotional raises a set of questions and it's too early to tell by far to come to some sort of more concrete set of interpretations of that and spoke one of the things that i'm interested in is we can think about international relations is characterized by a series of bargaining and agreement possibilities

he was subject to a un security council asset freeze because the council says iran refused to make him available for an interview with the international atomic energy agency. we're going to have much more on the reaction going to be live in tehran for reaction on the killing of they, of course this coming just in the past couple of hours. haven't been any specific information as to who is behind that assassination, but obviously, indications from the government that it was an act of state terror. that's what they've said. but of course, our other top story, this hour is ethiopian government action. their government has denied that the prime minister has rejected talks with grain leaders as international negotiations push for a resolution to the weeks long conflict. 3 african union, special envoys met with met in addis ababa, but he told them we'd only speak to representatives operating illegally in the region. a day ago, the army was ordered to carry out a final phase of its offensive and move in on to graze regional capital. a government imposed deadline for to grain forces to surrend

they had been on the un security council list of sanctioned individuals. iran had never allowed him to be interviewed by the international atomic agency. his whereabouts were always kept secret, and he has survived a previous assassination attempt. president hassan rouhani was not at the funeral, but he has blamed israel for the assassination. a charge. israel denies. iran's defense minister says justice will be done. mo-o. had none, 0, yet called we will pursue the criminals to the end of the perpetrators of this crime will be punished. the foreign governments and international organizations who refused to condemn this act of terrorism will see the consequences of their crimes . the father of 3 was gunned down in front of his wife, and the attackers have not yet been caught. this fascination is seen as an alarming security breach inside iran. and there is debate within the country as to what the response should be. who iran's allies are urging restraint. it's not the 1st time iranian nuclear scientists have been targeted, but it is the 1st in the past 8 y

response and that was the kind of thing he excelled at and he put hiv-aids as an issue before the un security council so he understood that disease could could be a threat to our national security. i think in a way would've been daniel waited and out to sea. he would not have known how to function. social media at would've brought out all his worst qualities and none of the best and he wouldn't, you know, the schmoozing and seducing of the reporters, mental schmoozing he excelled at isn't something that is so easily done and matter so much anymore so i think it would've been an alien world for him and he would have felt as if the golden age was gone. >> peter, james baker is a republican and watching closely what is going on. >> yet, i think he finds the trump world maddening. it's the antithesis of everything he believes about government and politics and trump is tearing down basically both the architecture of world the republican party when baker spent a lifetime building up when i covered the impeachment trial of president trump and i went through bigger files i found this number i had not knows b

hindsight, because it was using force against a traditional russian friend/client, and without the un security council authorization. while we tried to convince the russians it was a one-off forced upon us , in indy the russians had said the crisis in kosovo was a threat to international security, we didn't perhaps push the diplomatic track long enough to bring the russians on board. we did it in iraq number and they think that cemented -- we did not do it in iraq, and that cemented the russians' view. anywhere from there, and i agree that we need , if we ever get back to some kind of civil relationship with nato and russia, to think of ways to bring the russians more closely into the decision-making, not a veto, but to have a sense that their partnership with nato is not just window dressing. prize.t a consolation this can be done in a comprehensive way. looking at what we do about ukraine and georgia's restoration for membership. may be inventing. -- georgia's aspiration for membership. may be inventing a weigh station from both ukraine and georgia and for russia as a way of developing a much more i

well certainly there are some on the un security council who are describing recent developments. as a breakthrough. you do know have a fragile cease far in place. you do have an ambitious plan that would lead to elections in just over a year's toy, but of course you don't yet have that unity government in place. and the u.n. acting special representative, stephanie williams said there were still many challenges ahead. i am optimistic about the way forward libya yet clear are right about the many challenges that lie ahead 10 years of war. it cannot be solved one week of political talks that we hear more now the language of peace rather than the language of war. for the sake of libya, 75 libyans came together in tunis last week in good faith effort to start the process of healing their nations. they sat, they talked as they stand at the. well, how did it? it standeth their hands, if not their hearts to each other. i think it will be very interesting to see what the turkish president says. if he visits tripoli, he has been very much on one side of this conflict, or though turkey's p

in a letter to the un security council, tehran said it reserved the right to defend its people and its gordon corera reports. the scene of an ambush. the highway where gunmen targeted a vehicle carrying one of the most important figures in iran's nuclear programme. mohsen fakhrizadeh was a scientist and senior defence official. but western intelligence services have long believed he was the driving force in iran's quest for a nuclear bomb. iran has always said its nuclear programme was peaceful — but it's been claimed fakhrizadeh was leading work on project amad, to develop a weapon. in 2018, he was singled out by israel's prime minister. this is how dr mohsen fakhrizadeh, head of project amad, put it — remember that name, fakhrizadeh. iran's foreign minister quickly responded to his death with this tweet: israel is widely assumed to have been responsible. but why now? iran's nuclear programme was constrained under an international deal signed in 2015. but in 2018, donald trump pulled the us out of the deal — and iran has been growing its stockpile of nuclear material. president trump

and libby was saving lives, with the un security council to do.so we ultimately decided to achieve that objective. and in syria we did not intervene military directly but with very different cases. and yet in each one, even barack obama, getting back to the notion that is a disciplined president elicit get it to asia not get bogged down in the middle east and certainly not go to war in the middle east finds themselves pulled into this motion that we fuse our power in one way or another to bring about positive transformation. it is tragic to say you look at each of the countries today we certainly fail to achieve that goal. see when let's walk to these cases. we'll begin egypt rate of just envying militarily you yourself alluded to the question with your set of cases so walking quickly through how he now understands our decision and why that counts. c1 sure and it's fair to ask why is egypt in there? it's not regime change for you can make a case that it's not. the reason i keep it in this category is that once the revolution was underway, we did u
