is pushing the other member state of the united nations security council to violate united nations security council resolution to stop business with iraq. therefore, the u.s. also should say, should tell its own people, international community is really the united states of america responsible for implementation of united nations security council resolution or blocking of implementation of united nations secured council resolutions? amy: ambassador seyed hossein you teach at princeton university, what do you think is the greatest misconception americans have about iran? u.s., they'vee had no relations for many years. therefore, it is normal, it is natural that there are many misunderstandings, miscalculations, it misperceptions on the mac inside and even on the iranian side, to be fair. iranians also really cannot understand exactly what is going on in the u.s. more, the realities of iranian domestic situation, political situation is not known to americans. unfortunately, president trump administration has relied on enemies of iran like terrorist froms getting their agenda these terrorist g

actually do something the bigger september i hope not that the united nations and let me underline this the united nations security council. re in for size it's it's a solution i think was a two to one six in order to move forward with a resolution to the conflict and what is going to be left at the moment that the un has talked about it being that twenty two million people in need of food assistance i mean we've had tens of thousand people killed how much of yemen is actually left at the end of this for them to salvage very little to be honest with you and certainly this has been the poorest country in the region one of the poorest in the world and now it's destroyed with millions displaced tens of thousands of casualties as you're mentioning and somewhere between disease and bombardment certainly the country is on its knees from from from history and you're probably too young to remember that but certainly in one thousand nine hundred six we've seen an action like that stop the israeli war in lebanon we've seen a kid die in his in his father's arms stop the war in gaza we've seen it happen latin america we've seen it ha

saying that i mean the members of those who have the moral obligation and power to the united nations security council they should basically ask all these conflicting parties and forced him and her hold them accountable to the international humanitarian law and international human rights law to protect the civilians as he mentioned before efforts to get the two sides to the table had the u.n. special envoy just. recently isn't nuff pressure being put on the warring parties to put down their weapons and start talking when the u.n. special envoy and other international humanitarian community is there have been doing all that is possible including i mean putting a clear. plan asking all the warring parties to come to geneva on sixth of september however it is basically the u.s. u.k. and france and other members did you have the moral obligation and power and authority to ask the conflicting parties and here we do think that our exposure is . bigger and they need to do more. sensitive he thanks very much for joining us from. well the outgoing director of the international committee of the red cross robert

just became a correspondent at the united nations about this story and i'm just wondering what more you think the united nations security council should be doing because clearly in yemen we are seeing absolutely no consideration all respect for humanitarian norms and principles. that's right and it's been more than three years since the united nations security council has issued a resolution a substantive resolution on yemen demanding that the parties resolve their differences peacefully or holds the parties accountable for these violations of international humanitarian law the united kingdom holds the pen the united states holds a huge amount of influence on the security council both have been resistant to new u.n. security council action the time for excuses for inaction is long since passed the council needs to speak boldly to back the u.n. special envoy and demand the political settlement. the war in yemen is entering its fourth year now and we have seen the situation on the ground become more complicated at the same time we're going to have u.n. sponsored talks in september do you is the international community engaging wi

towards a solution in places like yemen hence you really expect others like the united nations the united nations security council to step in because of the vacuum in the region as i said before they are stepping in so once again this really puts the burden back on the likes of saudi arabia in the united arab emirates those young leaders in abu dhabi and riyadh and other places who want investments who have a mission about two thousand and thirty and creating this new paradise on earth in the region in the desert those who want to create a new nato arab nato in the region are definitely not setting a good example in yemen over what the future looks like for the region and for their countries and for the economies thank you very much indeed and it would of course have more on that story a nation and president. in the meantime can attacks are continuing on both sides of the gaza israel frontier with at least seven people injured on thursday. earlier hamas called for a deescalation of the confrontation after every night air strikes by israel left three palestinians dead the strikes were in response to hamas rocket f

if you remember it didn't go through the united nations security council or the un general assembly.et he was not afraid to say it. and i think one of the reasons he went out on a limb about things like that was because he could see the consequences of conflict on ordinary men, women and children, and this was why, of course, after he left his office as united nations secretary—general, he continued working in peace promotion, he was the un special envoy for syria. i saw him their work tirelessly, well into his 70s, long, long hours, trying to get the different sides to the table, trying to negotiate some kind of peace even if only a short ceasefire here or there. tragically the conflict is still ongoing but not because people like kofi annan, especially because people like kofi annan did not try to bring peace. he did a special edition of hardtalk backin did a special edition of hardtalk back in the spring and said he did not realise retirement would be so tiring! he obviously to himself into it. did he ever shake off some of the criticism of his time in charge at the united nations
