so for the first time in the history of the united nations it's established a mission the united nations mission for ebola ebola emergency mission that wasn't gonna and we were trying to help others countries. and then over one dozen places in africa but for the first time in history imaginations are deployed with the united states and united kingdom with those military forces to block so pre- movement is a lockdown at that time so we were able to do that but in the case of corona 19 it was mainly done with the who that was at the beginning on the part of the united states the security council in the case of ebola even one day without a resolution was a serious threat of the community now what happened to ebola? it took three months for the security council to declare covid-19 was a serious effect and because of that division between those western powers and china so there is a huge difference even as a former secretary general to appoint with whom i worked very closely but then i advised him that this issue have poor organization not who alone. this is a lesson we must learn very seriou

the point he raises about the united nations, the myanmar ambassador to the united nations has very muchtanced himself from the junta but his position in that continuing position at the united nations in new york is not just -- not decided by the generals or the powers that be in myanmar. it is a decision that goes to the united nations at the highest level. they decide what is acceptable to them, as any countries ambassador. >> that is exactly right. i would say there are two elements to this. there is the state of myanmar is the subject of international relations or law. then the subject of the character of that state, its population, and the contentious area is, the government, who speaks for this state? that is determined by elements of legitimacy of authority and effectiveness. so there is not one element, and i want to emphasize that the pretenders, the junta, do not enjoy either effective control in the state, nor do they enjoy the support or the will of the people. so there's a very fundamental question in myanmar. the other side of the coin is the international recognition side,

when people say, people spoke about the united nations, to the united nations, a particular moment, the 5 most powerful people, on many occasions the united nations could not have been able to deliver timely and effective and powerful messages or action because of the divisions among security council members, look at the case of syria. a lot of people, a list of 6.6 million syrian people had become refugees in lebanon, progress and egypt and more than 5 million people living on the poverty line in egypt. most persistent and broken. this is a travesty but because of that the united nations is not been able to deliver humanitarian issues. i read yesterday the united states is trying to deliver food boxes but there should be no such restrictions when it comes to genuine humanitarian support and syria, so many countries around the world whose people are suffering without being able to say anything, and the united nations, as secretary general i tried my best, just the general functioning of the united nations system, secretariat and specialized agencies and other agencies, beating the expec

let's talk now to kristen salumi, whose life from the united nations headquarters force in new york. so chris, in an action packed day at the you and what are we expecting? absolutely. while the world's focus has been on efforts to evacuate people from cobbles, airport, the united nations has been very concerned about humanitarian access for the people who are being left behind in afghanistan, there are some 3 and a half 1000000 displays. people inside the country, a half 1000000 of them displaced just in the last year, and they need help. and what is happening today is a resolution is in the works. it was spearheaded by france and great britain to guarantee that agencies will be able to get food medicine and other supplies into these people. the draft is being very tightly guarded. we have not seen copies of it, but from what we are hearing. the idea is to make sure that civilians are protected access for humanitarians is unimpeded to airports in cobble, excuse me, in particular, french president, emmanuel macross, describe this as a safe zone. diplomats here are not using that word

what we heard from the special representative for afghanistan to the united nations . deborah lyons and she painted a very bleak picture and said urgent action was needed on the part of the security council to avoid a very, very bad situation. getting even worse, she questioned the taliban commitment to a negotiated settlement, given the ongoing attacks on urban areas and the impact that that is having she talks about a 50 percent increase in civilian casualties are increasingly worse humanitarian situation with almost with more than half of the country in need of some sort of aid hospitals and some of these areas that are being attacked or at full capacity. roads are being blocked, food can get in and human rights violations are also increasing exponentially, particularly an area is held by the taliban. we're hearing things like the summary executions, the flogging of children, child marriages, and so on. so from the special representative herself, civil society members, the afghan ambassador, who right now is speaking to members of the media outside the security coun

at the united nations in new york, there are now calls for action. council must act and prevent a catastrophic situation. we are alarmed by reports of incidences of gross human rights violations by the taliban and their foreign terrorist associates in almost half of our country, and we are extremely concerned about the safety and security of people in cities under taliban attacks and what brutality would await them. the question now, though, is what action can be taken, given the taliban advances have been precipitated by the withdrawal of foreign troops from afghanistan. the futures of millions of afghans are at stake. i think the region should very clearly tell the taliban that a taliban coming to power through force and continuing the violence is unacceptable. they need to see that their government will not be accepted and recognised. but for now, at least, it seems unlikely the taliban will stop their offensive. they seem determined to seize as much ground as they can. richard galpin, bbc news. mariam wardak is the founder of her afghanistan, an
