i have reported this some head to the secret a channel of united nations until the united nations security council, in my re port where i referred especially to him about the increase of his functionality and the state and inflammatory rhetoric, which it probably could go beyond a chest rhetoric, and that is the concern i have that, that reports that you mentioned earlier, mr. schmidt, which was presented to the united nations security council and early november you had requested to address the security council, but ah, that's was blocked or that request was rejected by russia and china, strong allies of serbia and obviously of republic. a serb scott, that's one of the break away enclave, let's say. or at least part of his politicians who wants to break away from us. now . why did they reject your requests to address the united nations security council? i would suggest that you ask themselves the, if the intention would have been just to bring not my report to public consciousness. obviously this attempt has failed. i never, ever have seen that such a report or got such a lot of internatio

council heard from the under secretary general for peace building and political affairs here at the united nations rosemary decarlo. she was calling on both sides to the deal as well to essentially get back to calling on the united states to return to the deal and calling on iran to return to compliance and stop enriching uranium beyond the limits set in that deal out the europeans, particularly those that are signatories to the j. c, p o, a are accusing a ron of back tracking on commitments that were made an attempt to revive the deal. they said that they are putting forward, quote maxima list demands and criticized iran for that's a signal in concern at the countries lack of urgency, despite claiming to want to get back to the table and back to the agreement in the united nations. also as express concern about ron's behavior, particularly the lack of access to nuclear facilities. that was something that to carla talked about as well and how that makes it a challenge to get a clear picture of actually what's happening there and to return a confidence to those involved in the deal. but i think the

it's certainly not the united nations that if it was the united nations, it would have been earth. united nations would have been terminated long ago on facebook hasta, understand about corporate responsibility. it has to understand that it's not just about monopolies and making money. they have an effect on society where they cross that line. the law will find them liable, and they've got to be brought to hill til kin. and sophie, i'm going to put a spoke to you and you can split this question. jesse wanders, would it be a good idea for facebook to establish regional offices to focus on regions so that they actually understood the culture, the language of these regional offices. so for you guys 1st briefly, what that is partially a solution. so facebook already hats reach no offices, for instance, in southeast asia, for instance, in south asia, these regional offices are focused and, and working with stakeholders and the power players rather than the people in those regions. so unfortunately, you idea it's already in place and i'm not sure that it's very helpful because it's fuck,

a lifeline for millions of afghans as the united nations votes to exempt humanitarian aid from sanctions imposed on the taliban government. in transforming one of baghdad's oldest neighborhoods. it is being seen as a leap in the fight against covid-19 as nations around the world try to outpace the search of infections driven by omicron. approved the country's first antiviral pill to treat covid-19. that is have shown that pfizer's tablet does reduce symptoms. meanwhile, wealthier nations are accelerating vaccine rollouts. israel, meanwhile -- israel, for example, is going to offer a fourth dose to the elderly. germany is planning something similar. the world health organization has criticized that approach. >> no country can boost its way out of the pandemic, and boosters cannot be seen as a ticket to go ahead with the planned celebrations without the need for other precautions. quickly got the continuing debate about lockdowns as well. belgium and some states in india among the latest to tighten restrictions. many having antiviral drugs, though, could ease pressure on hospitals. some ar

as the united nations relief coordinator said, the road ahead is neither easy nor straightforward.he taliban welcomed this, are there any conditions or obligations put on them? >> that is what united nations humanitarian chief has said, that a lot of this aid will depend on the cooperation of as he put it, the defect to authorities. the taliban had not been recognized internationally yet, one of their main demands. the money will not go through taliban leadership. it will go through the united nations and other aid agencies who still have employees on the ground, have the capacity to deliver that aide. there are still risks involved in this process. kasia: authorities in hong kong have dismantled and removed a statue which commemorated the 1989 massacre at tiananmen square. these images we have onile of the artwork which was called "the pillar of shame." construction workers worked overnight behind plastic sheeting to remove this eight-foot high copper statue. narrator: funding for this presentation of this program is provided by... narrator: financial services firm, raymond jame n

that's the united nations.we conducted interviews to basically put together the best diversity and array of young people from different parts of the world being affected in different waysy the crisis. a number of organizations, including greta thunberg, conveyed to us the desire to formulate, if possible, a single legal strategy in order to respond to a challenge that affects a nations. greta: i am very much shown in the media, and trefore it is extremely important that we so ghlight thother plntiffs. we need to get better of listening to everyone, and therefore there is also one other reason to why this petition is so powerful and so important.

also coming up, united nation and united nations human rights, all calls for poland and better roost to address what it says is an appalling situation of migrant stuck on their joy border plus a long awaited movie. sequel that was delayed even further by the pandemic. with carrie anne moss reeves, resurrect the matrix 22 years after neo 1st followed. the red pill isn't any good ah hello m terry martin. good to have you with us. germany is bracing for a rapid spread of the army. kron corona virus. buried with the bearer with variant already in the country. the government is responding by stepping up its vaccination program and introducing new restrictions. tight limits on social contacts will come into effect after christmas. army crown is on the advance in germany, and the politicians say it's time to react. after their meeting, chancellor sholtes and the state premiers said private gatherings would be limited to just 10 people if they're vaccinated or have recovered from cove. it for the unvaccinated socializing will be even harder, they will only be able to meet to other people. th

now when a joint statement baffled to the united nations on the u. k. germany and france say iran's nuclear program is more advanced and it's ever been describing the situation as grave. un, security council has been discussing progress on salvaging the 2015 nuclear deal. none of the j. c. p. away talks have resumed in vienna. iran one sanction lifted in return for limits on its nuclear program. the only solution is the commitment of all tortillas to the food effective and verifiable. implementation of j. c, p, o, a normal. notice as we have a stated time and again, obviously it all must be assured that all sanctions will be lifted. the u. s. t v not withdraw from the accord again and it did not abuse the procedures set out in the j. c. p. o, a vienna talks can succeed on de, through genuine political, real and good faith negotiations. engaging in blame, game or flying artificial impatience is not constructive. we're convinced that if a ron pro approaches talks in vienna with urgency and good faith, we can quickly reach and implement an understanding

criticize those countries among them, the permanent members of the security council, charter of the united nations. we criticized is the united states for a embassy there because i think of a un security council resolution. we criticize your country, russia for the invasion of ukraine, because this is also a trucker. and so this is what we criticize and we say police obeyed by international law. go and accept binding security. when you make it sound that you disperse this criticism evenly in fairly, but from the other interviews, i got a sense maybe i'm mistaken, but i got a sense that you tend to associate germany with one group of countries who supposedly respect all the norms of behavior. and then there is another group of countries and presumably russia and china and all the rest who supposedly don't. is that the wrong impression on my part or you do believe that germany is sort of associated more with the forces of good and my country happens to be more in the category of that a close 2nd or area. and no matter what to do to the rest of the world with the 1st word reset or we're 20000000 russ

they have former united nation scientists ouwas turned against the un screening from the rafters that we all these solutions would have no impact on emissions and they have massive side effects to society thatpeople aren't even aware of .one of the reasons the kids movement has become so big is climate activists realized they couldn't convince adults climate emergency so they went after kids because they are more gullible and that's why you have high school kids skipping you have the greta thunberg phenomenon.ha it's a corporate crusade with big money behind it and you have kids suing our federal no government that would ensure a healthy climate for their future. there suing to make sure government comes in and shuts down one of the greatest liberators of mankind in the history of the planet whichis fossil fuel energy . we demonize the lifeblood of modern civilization. the people funding this whether they're just business , they're often enjoying spaceflights. bill gates who is one of the biggest climate activists actually is betting on the world's largest private jet transport compan

very directly asked for certain security guarantees, legally binding security guarantee from the united nations from the united states rather and from made up against further expansion. and i know that this, this question, this request has been criticized by many in the west as a totally impossible or excessive. but the vital administration did not dismiss it out of hand. and in fact, they seemed to be quite open to further negotiations with russia on the issue of strategic stability. i want to ask you, what is there to negotiate? as i said at the very beginning, and you repeated that, and there's a point where we agree. it's always better to, to talk and discuss and see where the interest, where can we, where can we meet the interest? how can we come to a conclusion? i think that one of the big deficits of the big problems of the corona crisis has been that the people have not been able to meet. i mean, your president has hardly left the pre chinese president has left the country and the american president hardly left because they're not enough. me think that the russian president, the g 20 me

so, this move by the united nations and also by the united nations and also by the united states as wellt, of afghans, does not, day too soon. it will become its biggest humanitarian operation in the road next year and what a tragic distinction to have. 22 million people will need aid to survive, including 10 million now set to be a step away from starvation. this is an important step in the right direction, but it is not enough. this moment paid the salaries of civil servants, including the teachers and the doctors in the country where before the taliban took charge, 75% of the government budget was provided by foreign aid, provided by governments around the world and multilateral organisations. that aid is not resuming. the banking system has all but collapsed and then there is the issue of the financial assets of the central bank of afghanistan which are in the united states and they are in the united states and they are now frozen. again, locked off in financial sanctions. so, are now frozen. again, locked off in financialsanctions. so, one step and so the united nations relief coord

ah, but the united nations also had a message for the united states. it's calling on both sides to return to the deal. it's calling in the united states to come back to the deal. it was, after all the united states, back in 2018 under president trump, that reimpose sanctions on iran, and essentially broke the deal. they're also calling on the iranians to return to its commitments under the deal. and i want to stop and i returned to compliance about stopping to enrich uranium. and of course, that's the source of europeans concerned that iran is getting closer and closer to a nuclear weapon. and thank both sides claim that they want to return to the deal. and both sides, of course, blame each other for not being able to get there. you know, the united states ambassador linda thomas greenfield said that it the united states is prepared to, to lift those sanctions to go back to the deal as reliant songs are on. does it, it's part in returning to the dealer while around said look, it's your fault that we're here in the 1st place. our people are suffering, w

the united nations says the military�*s oppression points to crimes against humanity.rt by rebecca henschke contains some distressing images from the start. this girl is grieving over her grandfather's body. it's distressing to see. there are clear signs of torture. when the myanmar military entered their village in the kani township, she fled. her grandfather stayed, believing his age would protect him. more bodies were uncovered close to where her grandfather was found , 12 in total. some were buried in shallow mass graves. the military carried out the mass killings in four villages in kani township, a region that's been a stronghold of opposition to the military regime. in the village,14 people were killed. we have blurred their bodies, as they're too gruesome to show. the man filming finds people he knows. at great risk, our team interviewed a number of eyewitnesses. for their safety, we're hiding their identity. their stories are all similar. translation: they split us - into groups of men and women. men were tied up with ropes and beaten up. we couldn't stand to

. >> new york city has become right now at this very time the national epicenter in the united states of the pandemic. all 50 states in the u.s. have some cases of omicron, but here in new york city, it is worse than anywhere else in america. the big issue is testing. there is not enough testing here in the city or state to meet all of the demand. this is a state of 20 million people, and about half of which live here in new york city, and with the cases rising so exponentially over the last week or so, there is a huge demand for testing, as you can see, at this test site that we are at here on 42nd street in midtown manhattan, the lines have been at times hundreds of people. they have stretched for blocks in some parts of the city, and you can see that it is not just right here at this testing site, but they are trying to open testing sites all over the city as fast as they can. in fact, if you look down a block here, you can see another when they're just a block ahead. all of these sites just have open within the last 48 hours or so, and even beyond that another block, there are mor

technically it was united nations command. fact the united states took military leadership and very quickly did so one of the most famous generals john macarthur is sent over there after his big victory to go and lead the famous landing, which he does. but it was done under technically the un flag. so it always has been the combatants is the united nations command countries, and then essentially it is essentially north korea will see, if we have the time in a minute, to show how china becomes involved very, very quickly look at this map i'm trying all the countries end up supporting and sending troops. some are quite significant. it's poignant in some ways because tiny little countries. who would've thought of countries like ethiopia or turkey, or greece or thailand would immediately come to the call and start sending troops over too korea to fight? nobody had that kind but remember it's only a few years out since world war ii had ended. so it's actually a remarkable story. now these are the nations i would end up providing no

and the other thing that we have to point out is that she made the statement that the united nations and many of the bodies and nations involved in the decision that led to be sanction, were in attendance at the united nations, are members of the united nations are affiliated with the united nations, and yet it seems like all of these calls are falling on deaf ears. you know, as she said, this has amounted to attacks on the poor people. it's not the taliban leadership that suffering. you know, the toll about leadership lived for years and don't with no problems. they lived into by their families, lived into by. they had shelter in utah and they had shelter and focused on they had no problems financially. and i have no problem financially now. but the people have problems financially and waterfront currently are the citizens of the sun, including what would have been called the quote unquote middle class. only 6 months ago. it's the poorest of the poor and even people, people like silly mom who would have had like, stable, you know, decent job of some kind of an income. now, you know,

so, this move by the united nations, and also by the united states as well, to clear the way for aidf afghans doesn't come a day too soon. afghanistan, the un says, will become its biggest humanitarian operation in the world next year. what a tragic distinction to have. 22 million people will need aid to survive, including 10 million now said to be a step away from starvation. this is an important step in the right direction, but it's not enough. there are still... this won't pay the salaries of civil servants, including the teachers the teachers and doctors, in a country where before the taliban took charge, some 75% of the government's budget was provided by foreign aid, aid provided by governments around the world and multilateral organisations. that aid is not resuming. the banking system has all but collapsed. and then there's the issue of the financial assets of the central bank of afghanistan, which are in the united states, and are now frozen again, locked up in the financial sanctions. so, one step, but as the united nations relief coordinator said, the road ahead is neither

and the united nations human rights off is calls on poland and pebble roost to address what it calls the upholding situation of migrants stuck on their joint. or ah, hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. germany has become the latest country here in europe to announce new restrictions to deal with only crohn corona virus. barrett. the rules tightening limits on social contacts will be introduced after christmas. army crown is on the advance in germany, and the politicians say it's time to react after they're meeting, chancellor schultz and the state premiers said private gatherings would be limited to just 10 people if they're vaccinated or of recovered from cove. it for the unvaccinated socializing will be even harder, they will only be able to meet to other people. the moves are prompted by fears the virus could spread over the holidays. can even get of hashed indian if i can understand every one. and each of you who doesn't want to hear any more about corona, about mutations and new virus variants that we cannot and must not close our eyes to this next way. that's beg
