the united nations general assembly, and december 2006, adopted by consensus a united nations global strategy. we have coordinated with all countries around about world in close coordination with the security council. when these people, terr orrist,, in and tried to attack, we have to make ourselves prepared against any contingency. this is very hard, very difficult. we have to make all necessary precautionary measures. at the same time, unless the whole international community is united, it will be increasingly very difficult. >> middle east peace talks right now -- are you hopeful? >> i've been working very hard with the leaders in the region, and with the leaders of the united states. most recently, i've spoken to prime minister netanyahu of israel and abbas. i've been constantly discussing this. as the united nations secretary general, how we can contribute to the middle east peace process. i hope that even though we have a very limited time we will be able to make a certain break through so there is the peace process, a direct negotiations can continue without disruption. >> you

>> we tried to support the united nations work. a lot of people want to work for the united nations but they don't know how. they work through us and we can direct them to the right places it. >> you have this program, every mother every child. it is a huge commitment by johnson and johnson, a major health distributor of equipment and drugs. aids research is going to be part of it, the vaccine and treatment for aids. i was reading something that just in the last few years, 10 times more people are getting treatment in the area that they need the therapy than just a few years ago. is that correct? >> it is. i would take a step back and say that johnson and johnson has a long legacy of working on child health. the work that we are doing as a part of this commitment focuses on research, of course, for better ways to treat tuberculosis and hiv, but also in preventing transmission to newborn babies, which is a critical part of our strategy. >> the maternal transmission to a newborn child. >> preventing the transmission of the virus from

it's the establishment the creation of the united nations for me a new film we need them is the way we look to the climate change. the protection of our environment i would say that also new when he's amused the quest also in the bishan to preserve for biodiversity we do need to have a different look from you probably also when you can we need them is the protection of cultural diversity and the promotion of cultural diversity protection of languages languages who are in danger in danger of promoting mother tongues education promoting also with a new i would say conviction and a new stronger political will gender equality i believe all these seas i knew very humanistic agenda and as long as i am now director general for this great organization i would call unesco i believe that we could contribute more to this new search of. for humanistic various and how we implemented them i believe that the economic and social crisis and the environmental crisis also to some extent also accelerates and should make us more convinced that we have to bear once and make society smaller in course if and

so, it is a new way of engaging really the people, part of the united nations. and we hope the media will be very much part of the coalition. we thank you for offering that. >> let me just say so everybody at home knows, we are talking about poverty and hunger as one of the goals, of primary education for young people, and gender equality, a great focus on child mortality and maternal health. disease. and that can be hiv. tuberculosis. malaria. the environment. and also partnerships putting on the table. i wanted to know from you, doctor, sitting over there at the university of nairobi, where did you see the progress being made? let's talk about what progress has been made in some of those areas, and everybody jump in according to what they have seen. just tell us. >> well, various countries have made different progress at different levels. based on where they put their focus on. you see, the men -- main emphasis of the whole millennium agenda, which came as we were entering the year 2000, there was a thought of what exactly can the nations together do significa

all to well that education is so one of our priorities it's within our mandate we are the only united nations agency which looks at age occasion from a holistic point of view we follow education starting from the preschool being the primary school the secondary high education also. we can see that this is an important. finalising of the whole process of thinking what is education what does it occasionally represent in in our base world how we respond to the challenges. we talk about quality education we talk also about the technical implication of training we talk about their values so within age occasion we talk about education for human rights for sustainable development so it's really an extremely important moment in the life of our organization the russians like to say the preschool education system is exemplary is a true by you know school standards and what makes it unique if it is i discussed yesterday with the minister for saying the challenges also which definitely are in in all of the countries in the world to both developed and developing countries and and i have talked commend rus

what you could read is the united nations are interested that the political will in the democratic republic of congo will rise, and the national justice system will examine these atrocities and in 1996, 1997. the other way to include i.c. c. is not possible because it was founded later than these atrocities happened. >> there are still problems, despite the presence of troops. what is the reason for this? >> i visited the eastern part of the democratic republic of congo. you have to imagine that this is an area without the rule of law. without any state security or state structure. people there are simply meeting the basic infrastructure, social welfare, and so on. it is the difference between day and night. it is a matter of allowing resources, allowing different mineral resources. that is still going on. after today, you will find a culture of violence which is the result of all war that lasted through two decades. many people, especially women in that area are confronted with the elite of violence in their life. this has not stopped yet. -- many people, especially women in that area are

experts from the united nations have trained them as forensics specialist. their job will be to excavate mass graves and in the east of the country. here, they are on a training exercise. they will be digging up buried dummies. there are allegations that in the late 1990's, tens of thousands of the hutu ethnic group were massacred here. officers are prepared for identifying fatal wounds. >> here. this woman has a bullet wound in her chest and she was shot in the head as well. the job next to her has obviously been beheaded. -- the child next to her has obviously been be headed. >> the officers will be working on real braves sent, with real bodies. became to bring the murderers to justice with evidence. >> so many crimes have been committed in our country, and women are very often the victims, like the ones these represent. that is what i want to do this work. >> locals say that on october 30,) 1996, the residents of a nearby hutu village were herded together here. the women were taken into the post office and shot dead. the men were marched into a ditch outs

believe were the most ambitious and the same at the same time the most humane the gender that the united nations send in. the national community have set up in the recent in the recent decades and that's why i would say there is so much even patient around the implementation of these goals i was just there in new york a week ago i participated in the debate summit of the united nations and of course mostly engaged with the education because this is our priority tendin we are the leaders there. our assessment is that. the there is certain progress in any case there is a lot of firm movement forward there is a lot of progress in the primary education in the roman t. in the very many parts of the world. in countries where for example. taxes for primary education were abolished we have seen in rome and dabbled in countries such as tanzania been in senegal in many countries but also we see that in many countries it will be impossible to reach the millennium development goals in general and in concrete in education and there are probably some twenty countries in sub-saharan africa which are confrontin

prisons over crowded porous here are teen pretty cheeky person karpal the appointment by the united nations of russian anti drug czar yuri for the top of it is hoped to bring a more hardline approach in the law of war against drugs but former white house drug policy spokesman robert wiener says that while the poppy blight is a lucky break it's not a substitute for effective policies in the battle against the heroin trade. the disease is not a policy this is an accident of nature and it will come right back in a year or two to be the huge amount of drugs that is routinely making afghanistan the number one supplier in the world one of the very good things that has happened is the new united nations drug czar yuri fedotov is from russia he's a very strong eradication advocate and the previous united nations drug czar mr costin we confronted him on this was against eradication thinking that it would be difficult for the economy of afghanistan and you have to make nice with the people what mr casa didn't understand what mr fedotov in the united nations now doesn't understand is that the only way

it is criticizing the united nations very clearly and saying that united nations human rights commission, which was responsible for issues of protections of these camps, looking at the women's rights and the rights of homeless people, is a dysfunctional organization and does not have the experience how to run and manage these camps. so there is very clear criticism of the united nations commission for human rights from this independent agency. >> doesn't it make the problem -- not to make the problems seem less than it is, but was in haiti a dysfunctional country in many ways anyway, and that partly explains why things are so bad now? >> of course that is a major factor, and there are a lot of politics as well. haiti is about to have presidential elections in about a month and a half, and no one thinks they are ready and no one thinks politicians are addressing the issues facing homeless people. international taxpayers' money is going to united nations' effort and very specific criticisms of people who are professional aid workers are not managing the camps properly. the un police is sai

yuriy federal tof because the all drugs are in the united nations was against eradication now in the matter of survival of the farmers we're not out to make happy farmers in afghanistan who make money off killing the youth of the world including in russia that's not a trade that we want them to have yes we must have alternatives and the alternatives can include wheat and many other items but there's got to be crop substitution is in addition to the eradication of the fields as there has been in colombia which has cut colombian cocaine by fifty percent very successfully so we radek asian works but in the past the military has for the very arguments you stated been reluctant claiming that it would make instability we don't want a stable drug producing afghanistan the problem is those that the demand for the drugs that come from outside of afghanistan the problem being the supply you've surely got to tackle the problem in the us in russia or indeed and in europe. no question about it and education works it's not the demand though that drives it you know when people want to do illegal th

with the you know we are totally void of such a great commissioners because there is the united nations the european union in europe korea the shanghai cooperation organization for example that there are plenty of such platforms which cover the entire world but we are talking about idol and details that make a rescue operation more energetic and effective and help avoid intermissions in our rescue work this is what we have learned from our prop tickle experience if you are finding a fire you cannot make it a fifteen minute commercial break this work should never interrupt this soon or it starts the better with you people is exactly the same we all know the parameters of saving people after earthquakes there is a chance to find survivors only in the first two hours after an earthquake and after that the only thing rescuers can do is to clear away the rubble that is why we are not going to discuss this issues in bureaucratic terms will think of how to complete international mechanisms with a more efficient actions to college well more persistent information sharing which may result in som

if you look at statistics and studies by the world bank, by the united nations. >>reporter: another issue is the poor engagement of half of the country's population. turkey comes near the bottom of un world rankings when it comes to empowerment of women, education of women, and women in politics and business. corruption is also a persistent issue. >>hakura: there, turkey has achieved some progress in the last 4-5 years but that progress has pretty much come to a halt and in some cases it has gone backwards. so, unless turkey improves its education system, its quality of its institutions, as well as empower women then turkey's growth rate is likely to be very, very restrained compared, relative to its competitors. >>reporter: these problems coupled with fierce competition from china meant that the turkish economy was in factin decline before the global recession hit in 2008. if the country is to continue on its current growth path, it must introduce further political and economic reform and diversify away from labour and capital intensive export industries like te

one of the very good things that has happened is the new united nations drug czar yuri fedotov is from russia he's a very strong eradication advocate and the previous united nations drug czar mr costin we confronted him on this was against eradication thinking that it would be difficult for the economy of afghanistan and you have to make nice with the people what mr casa didn't understand what mr fedotov in the united nations now does understand is that the only way that you can cut off money from the taliban and money from al qaeda because this is drugs are seventy percent of their funding is to eradicate the drugs out of the source of their money and they will go to that proportion disappear and so will the violence against all the countries on earth that terrorists are. disappear and be drastically reduced by that so it's a wonderful development that we now have a strong drug czar from russia but the eradication must be combined with what hillary clinton is proposing which is crop substitution you can't just throw the farmers out and say you're not allowed to live you have to give t

. >> the united nations has published its report in two mass killings in the democratic republic of congoit dittos events between 1993 and 2003. basic to account for the mass killing of hutu people there. they accused rwanda and ugandan army is of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and possibly genocide. >> the united nations officials around the world have been waiting to see if the language in the published report would change. the leaked draft spoke in one key section of systematic and widespread attacks against hutus in congo which could be classified as planned -- as crimes of genocide appeared in the end, the thrust of the published report was -- genocide. in the end, the thrust of the publish report was widespread attacks. however, u.n. officials insist they will follow up on the human rights violations in congo. >> these are issues for a court of law to decide. our report is a mapping report. we are mapping out the scale of the violations. we say that serious violations have taken place in the republic of congo. >> this diplomatic flurry does not change the bloody history of cen

nations to work on the treaty. despite that challenge, japan's delegation plans to submit a resolution along with the united states calling for unified action toward a world without nuclear weapons. voting on committee resolutions is expected to take place later this month. >>> leaders from 46 asian and european nations have ended their two-day summit in brussels by promising greater cooperation and economic integration of their regions. to close the asia europe meeting, or asem, on tuesday, the leaders adopted the chair's statement and a declaration on the global economy. >> we need to find common ground and agree on coordinated action between our two continents in order to tackle the pressing issues. >> european leaders were particularly concerned about the recent sino-japan row over the collision of a chinese trawler and japanese patrol boats near the senkaku islands in okinawa prefecture. european leaders, who have been critical of china's human rights records, were worried about the country's hard-line stance over japan following the incident. they expressed a sense of relief when chinese premier wen jiabao sh

want to stiffen the spines of the united nations to keep accountability in the mix. we can walk around all day and talk about peace and can't everybody just get along. but at some point, there has to be breaking the cycle of impunity in sudan. people have to respond to these crimes against humanity that have been committed. and so the latin americas i think have been very, very positive in that particular aspect. >> if it's not a true story, they have a chance to make it true. right there in the middle. other side. er >> i'm howard from the center for international studies. having an election for independence in the south in a context of almost total lack of institutions in the south is a formula for disaster. it's also a formula for a failed state. of course, we all know that institutions are going to take 50 or 100 years to develop, so how do you two see this developing over time? is it going to call for a 50-year occupation for us or the u.n.? how do you see this developing over the long-term, once presumably some diplomatic efforts are done to deal with the immed

this is also the fourth president of iran i have met with during their visit to the united nations. the first was in 1987. as i waited for of midday jog -- for mahmoud ahmadinejad to arrive at breakfast, i reflected on how much has changed but how little has changed. in 1987 when khamenei arrived at the un, he was a secondary political player behind the speaker of parliament and well behind the prime minister, who was a former architect turned and who got a run through the bloodiest middle east conflict, and a year war during which time oil was $13 per barrel. the one thing that stuck in my mind from that breakfast was the way the two bodyguards had to come over because of something that had paralyzed his right arm. they had to come over and cut his breakfast be. he seemed like such a weak figure at the time. how much has changed. he is now the prime minister. the interesting thing above the speed to 1987 was that the u.n. mission had told us in advance that this was going to be a speech reaching out to the world, even nodding at the united states. the day before, the united states

it included members of the afghan government, nato, the european union, united nations and other keyplayers. richard holbrooke, the u.s. special envoy for afghanistan and pakistan, said the u.s. gave the go-ahead for iran to attend. >> we were asked whether we had any problems with that. we said no. this is a meeting in afghanistan, and it is restricted to afghanistan. what we are discussing here is not affected by nor will it affect theilateral issues that are discussed elsewhere concerning iran. >> sreenivasan: in afghanistan today, gunmen killed nine afghan workers who were guarding a nato supply convoy on sunday night. it happened in the south, where military supply convoys are regularly attacked. the most powerful typhoon in years hit the northern philippines today, killing at least three people. the super-typhoon is named megi. it is forecast to reach vietnam and china later this week. the cyclone packed sustained winds of 140 miles per hour. its force toppled trees and power lines, creating near-zero visibility conditions. vietnam has already seen more than 31 inches of rain a

according to the report, united nations military controls are rare. the u.n. said it's agreed with some of the criticisms. it was working on the issue, but the scale of the problem was huge. nearly 10 months taff earth quake, there are still 1.3 million homeless people living in over 1,000 camps on public squares or on school grounds. some aide came but nowhere near as promised. >> we need a lot of money for it. . >> before the earthquake, asians had no nathe most of their political leaders who they condemned as corrupt and incompetent. >> just after the quake hit, when they hoped the international community would do bert. but most of that faith has now been lost as well. mark doyle, "bbc news" 689 >> rescuers they say they should reach the miners in chile on sad. the drill is at 80 meters away. >> for the family who is have been camped here, today's news is a real breakthrough. alfonso arvesvrvesarveslrvesorves s is a brother of two men -- a vrvesarveslrves o srves is a [speaking spanish] >> there's not very much to go. but they are eans because their on the

principal parties in this case first of all the state department state department saying what the united nationsthe united kingdom and nato have already said so far that the disclosures put lives at risk at this point but let's go ahead and go to the defense department u.s. defense department and their reaction their reaction is a lot more stronger they use the words we or wiki leaks is for indeed we deplore we could leak for inducing individuals to break the law and they pour the release of all this information they of course also say that they are afraid that this will put people's lives in jeopardy and they also make a parallel with what happened back in july with the week the leaks of revelations made about the afghan war that this that the that these disclosures are much bigger and that the pay the number of pages that are that have been released are that much bigger four times bigger so the reasoning is if that has already gone ahead and put american lives in danger then how does something that's much bigger than a revelation that's much bigger now how many more lives are put in jeopardy a

we are between the united nations and our people.we are the voice of the people. we are a voice of the voiceless. so we are agents and influencersof change. >>mansor: i have been so impressed with the level of discussion, the sincerity of your commitment and the quality of the outcomes. >>reporter: malaysia has offered to host the summit again in two years time, looking to make this a regular fixture -- to ensure that first ladies from the developing world have their voices heard, not only by their husbands, but by the world. >>the america's cup is sports oldest trophy and since it was first contested in 1851, has produced some truly epic yacht races. but in the most recent regatta, the proud competition descended into near farce. now the cup's holders are determined to restore its reputation and at the same time, attract a whole new audience... >>reporter: cowes week... august 2010. there were boats. lots and lots of boats >>warner: this cowes week we've got close to 900 boats racing. the event attracts between 100-13000 visitors who want to come, watch the boats

now with aid running out and winter approaching comes a warning from the united nations the rations will have to be cut by half. the bbc returned to the worst affected area, the southern province of sind. you may find some images in her report distressing. >> still under water, and still in need of help, we flew over the southern province of sind for large areas lie buried beneath floodwaters and many communities are islands of despair. we landed in one of them, a town called doa. the world food program was doing its first round of distributings here. word had spread bringing long queues. troops deployed to keep the hungry under control. many here told us they had no help from their own government. they are still struggling to cope. in the queue we met this man, who can't feed his six children. translator: when i see my kids, i feel like killing myself. they're crying for food and we are powerless. we just keep quiet and ask god for death. >> it's half a day now and many have been here since 6:00 in the morning. some of these men say they walked for hours to get here. a few have told us

remember, the birthplace of the united nations, and the full promise of the united nations -- it allegan here in san francisco, and there, many of you were. 100-plus-wrong with the largest demonstration this nation had ever seen at the time of people saying enough is enough, and we are going to demonstrate our right to demand that our rights are extended, and people paid attention. in so many ways, that was the cataclysmic moment in time that really will people of so that some 13 years later, we woke up the nation when 3000 people strong came out in washington, d.c. democrats, republicans, independents, and we got the americans with disabilities act signed by then-president bush at the white house lawn 20 years ago today. so it is remarkable, those origins. is remarkable progress. it is remarkable the work that all of you have done. if you have ever watched, and maybe you do not want to, or maybe you had to -- i never good with notes. i have my own learning disability called dyslexia, so i cannot be very well, but i thought it was important to make susan's point, and then doing somet
