and this is a real consensus united nations in conflicts items the u. s president also saying that those rich countries that he wants to get money need to add to and give vaccines need to donate the vaccines. they should not be selling the vaccine strike making money out of this. and he said there should be no strings attached. what the u. s. is that i want to see is someone come up and say well will support that policy. busy if you support that policy will, will give you this batch of vaccines, or if you do this trade deal will give you this batch of vaccines. know, this is supposed to be a humanitarian gesture to the world, to vaccinate the will. and they want the rich countries to do it with no strings attached, as well as the go see ations. and the diplomacy is ongoing around the vaccine summit at we're also getting use coming and says, now that the french presidents and the u. s. president have have that phone call, of course the us and, and france at full. and i wrote the rules about all this deal, that security packed between the u. k, the u. s.

in this regard, i call on secretary-general to work on the basis of relevant united nations resolutions of protection including the resolution adopted during the general assembly emergency special summit held in june 2018, entitled uniting for peace. i call upon the secretary-general to take all the necessary steps toward developing an international mechanism for protection as foreseen in those reports of august, 2018. i call upon him to activate this mechanism on the borders of the occupying state of palestine -- occupied state of palestine. the borders of 1967. in parallel and accordance with the forementioned resolution, i call upon the secretary-general to convene an international peace conference, in line with internationally recognized terms of reference and you and resolutions. the air peace initiative and under the sole auspice of the mideast quartet. ladies and gentlemen, to ensure that our initiative is time bound, we give israel the occupying power one year to withdraw from the palestinian territories as occupied in 1967, including east jerusalem. we are ready to work through

what i thought that i would like to thank the secretary general of the united nations. i'm telling you a good that is for his support to the talks in mexico. and i would like to request the entire united nations to get behind the talks and mexico so that we can reach you agreement while including a comprehensive agreement to strengthens suffering in prosperity and comprehensive recovery and venezuela. this is what i'm requesting and i'm very grateful for you. a little for venezuela will follow this same approach to prioritize dialogue in international for as well in order and the most and goggles they'll come. you agree about when it comes to the issue of climate change, shoot him through as we have up, but up frequently and the relevant bodies very common. we urgently require a practical and verifiable way that says if it's even better occurred to greenhouse gas emission calling, i mean a lot of the money to combat the warning of the seas contract, the little pay nominal and to address you need a whole natural disaster resulting from climate change, the young we need v

and then i was allowed to travel with him in the united nations airplane to jerusalem. but i was told to stay the car then adults had come to jerusalem to meet the israeli foreign minister moshe charrette. israel's response to bernard ots plan was total rejection. i think they saw him as an enemy of the jewish state. he was going to him reduced by large measure the size of the state the jews were to have so they regarded him as pro arab, basically. and he was, in some ways a, an agent of the british government were regarded rightly or wrongly by this re lease as anti zionist, the after the failure of the adults 1st plan. and with a 4 week truce coming to its end. fighting broke out again in palestine. the 3 days later, when the dogs accompanied by his wife estelle, flew into laguardia or apple in new york. the possibility that he wanted to impress on the security council. the urgent need for firm and decisive action in the 1st place. so my mind that should lead to doubt that united nations will not permit better to receptive values of us. in the 2nd case, the action sho

they were actually married here in the shadow of the united nations. so this has real personal resonance for the us president, a tough speech for him, though. it was always going to be a tough speech every year. it's a tough speech for the us president to lay out that foreign policy stall in front of the $193.00 members of the united nations. tougher still because it's his 1st time addressing this gathering. as the u. s. leda tougher still, i think because of events in recent weeks. certainly the original message of the biden administrator was a return to malta naturalism. america's back. that was the message they want to give the world. well that's a much tougher cell. i think. now, in the last few weeks because of the will withdraw from i'm going to stop the taliban takeover. even some of the u. s. is allies will tell you not to privately that they think that was handled very, very badly indeed. and then we have the spotless emerged in, in the last few days with the french, the, the longest ally of the united states, the french. and yet the problems

well, let's think now to mike how he's lived for us at the united nations, mike. so chinese president, she she pings that china wouldn't invade any country, and the disputes would be settled through dialogue. this was a very moderated speech, wasn't it? it was indeed, it was very restrained, particularly given the height and rhetoric that had come out of china in the wake of that alliance between the u. k. the u. s. and australia, at that particular time, chinese spokespeople had described this as cold war mentality as a throw back to the days of imperialism. but nothing like that from the chinese president. he chose his words carefully. he portrayed china as a country seeking multilateral global engagement, willing to denay vaccine dosages to under developed countries, and no direct reference to the united states or the recent alliance insisting that china regarded diplomacy as regarded a dialogue as the most intense form and most useful form of diplomacy, this is what he had to say. go, you go up the differences in problems among countries. hardly avoidable, nee

it followed a long and challenging political settlement helped by the united nations. it was task with leading the country until nationwide. elections can take place in december and you see it on the move by the parliament to vote on i know confidence motion is not in little interest. parliament and government should be cooperating and intensifying their fits to provide the right conditions the holding election. after years of conflict, libyans were beginning to feel hopeful that things were getting better. but now with clear signs of political divisions emerging, that feeling may start to fade away and put into question if elections can be held as schedule. now latrina, l 0 tripoli, european court of human rights whose role that russia is responsible for the 2006 killing of former spy, alexander live financial comes in police in the u. k. charge a 3rd russian for the 2018 poisoning of former double agent, circus cripple. authorities say old tree suspect worked for russian military intelligence. don't hold poles. this according to britons. metropolitan police force is

i'll start by handing the floor over to the secretary general of the united nations. miss antonio good terrorist, who can speak to the importance of vaccinating the world and the role they get on at nations. and multilateralism can play and stepping out this pandemic secretary general over to you by then. excellence is i want to send president by then foot. ok, i haven't technical difficulties there with that feeds see the united nations. but we were listening to that cool bids summit being held at the white house there. and virtually of course, the u. s. president joe biden has said that they're prepared to buy $500000000.00 more vaccine doses did an 8 to low and middle income countries. he also claims that old doses would be shipped by 2022. and as we heard from the, the ambassador, the us, and bassett, or linda thomas green fields. she underlined that a global response is what is needed to meets and tackle this threats. let's bring in our diplomatic ads sir james bass. he joins us live from the united nations and james leo and secretary general, very. he was sending

and sure that the united nation's fit for a new era. -- make sure that the united nations is fit for a new era. the state of our world, with recommendations that they take on the challenges of today -- that take on the challenges of today. our agenda builds on charters, the coloration of human rights, an agenda for sustainable development and the paris climate agreement. the mandate i was given by the 75 declaration to fit -- seek a way to a better world. to reach that and of all promises we much read -- breach great divides. i see six great divides. that we much bridge. we must bridge the peace divide. for far too many, peace and stability remain a dream. in afghanistan, or we must booster military assistance and the human rights of women and girls. to create conditions for the start of political dialogue. in man mark, we have -- in myanmar, we support them in their search for human rights. we have committed to mobilizing international assistance for regional security development. in places such as yemen, libya, and syria, he must overcome stalemates and push for peace. in palestine

question for me as more now from the united nation let's putting the united nations.

you want to go to veto, will bring you life pictures from the united nations for the united nation mission . the secretary general until you could tell us has been making his opening remarks at the 76 general assembly, very wide ranging amongst a he started talking about the impact of climate change. he was also talking about humanities advances and it's significant failures. he talked about a malady of mistrust, fundamental rights and freedoms were being sacrificed. he said people were watching billionaires joy riding in space, while others were going hungry. he said there was a breakdown and trust which was leading to a breakdown in values and he listed 6 as he called them grand canyons which had to be bridge to peace climates. the divide between, between rich and par, the divide between genders, the digital divide, and also the generation divide. i want to bring in james base out to fanatic editor who's been listening to all of this. there was a lot of speculation. james, in the media earlier on that until the terrors wasn't going to pull any punches when he made his opening speech. and

and so far this year, there have been only 14 the united nations is calling for action from the nearly 60 governments who are believed to have nationals in the camps. but with differences on policy, possible security threats. and the lack of political will many are reluctant. each of those countries have their own local situation with their own complexities in terms of political environments. so this is something that each government is having to work through as they consider the restoration of their nationals. the 2nd level i would say the legal one. so in many countries as well, there are complexity in terms of the actual nationality of these children and mothers. 80 percent of the camps residents are women and children. 65 percent of them are under the age of 18. they are vulnerable not just the dire conditions, but also to the threat of radicalization in camps described as the most dangerous in the world. and with the slow pace of repatriation. it will take decades before they can leave them there as ita supplies of tens of thousands of haitian national seeking refuge in the us mad

the founding ethos of the united nations places the rights of individuals at the center of our system. and that clarity and vision must not be ignored or misinterpreted. the united states will do our part to be more successful and more impactful if all our nations are working towards the full mission to which we are called. that's why more than 100 nations united around a shared statement the security council adopted a resolution outlining how we'll support the people of afghanistan moving forward. laying out the expectations to which we'll hold the taliban when it comes to respecting universal human rights. we all must advocate kate for women, the rights of women and girls, to use their full talents, to contribute economically, politically, and socially and pursue their dreams free of violence and intimidation. from central america to middle east from after to afghanistan, wherever it appears in the world. we all must call on to condemn the targeting and oppression of racial, ethnic, and religious minorities. when it occurs -- whether it occurs in shinjiang or northern ethiopia or an

the united nations named its 1st mediator in palestine. ah, the man who would take on the task was count holcombe. adopt hero of the white buses. ah, he was from noble family. he was a relative of the king and for which he could deal very good with people meeting high to try and make him compromise this and things like that. at the end of may, 1948 been left paris for the middle east seen off by his american born wife. tell me in a point to the echo of the white buses campaign and adults had his specially chartered plain painted wipes with un and red cross marked into the fire account cast by united nations. as last hope it was time record an intermediate, raises him above suspicion of part of them in tennessee. his 1st type is the 1st talk was to bring about the fire, which it needed that he went to the different capital in kind of shuttle diplomacy . which he really invented because everybody was very impressed about his energy is the, the temple we used when he was traveling around. and you can see, he made all possible efforts to bring

now i would like to turn this over to ambassador thomas-greenfield of the united nations. i want to thank everybody on the screen i can see here, without going to each one of you, for all that you have done and continue to do. we can do this. we have to do this. so, thank you all. ambassador thomas-greenfield: thank you, thank you all for joining us today to participate in the covid-19 summit as we collectively work to end this pandemic. this administration is grateful to be working alongside you, and let me start by echoing what the president made clear. this pandemic is global. none of us is safe until everyone is safe. only a truly global response can meet and defeat this threat. after all, the world has learned the hard way that global health isn't only about viruses and disease, it touches every aspect of life itself. economies have collapsed. gender-based violence has spiked. millions of children have lost valuable education time, and many, particularly girls, may never return to school. the pandemic has disrupted people's lives and livelihoods in ways that will take

the count caused by united nations as last hope. it will time record admin intermediate raises him above suspicion of heart event in tennessee. his 1st is the 1st task was to bring about the fire, which it needed that he went to the different capital in kind of shuttle diplomacy . which he really invented because everybody was very impressed about his energy. the, the temple we used when he was traveling around and you can see he made all possible efforts to bring these these pyre about after only 10 days in the middle east, then adopt scored his 1st success. on the 9th of june, he announced a full week truce. if it had been a fool feather politician, knowing all the trick, i'm not sure he would have succeeded better because they were surprised to open it. he never had this diplomatic roundabouts on the time. and many people say that that was clear advantage by the end of june. after weeks of diplomacy been, adults was finally able to unveil a new plan for peace in palestine than the don't was really. and he did not want to abandon

i am wondering if the united nations have what they dealing with shifts all nation jury. terry's my take a little bit complicated. they have egos, all of this you are throwing up the united nations environment program. how was i handling that? you know, i wrote a book that is called, never trust us giving dies in chef. you know why i gave that little because the chef are taking themselves too seriously. we have to have a little bit of irony. we have to have a little bit of playing job on and be open any ronnie, 2 hours that but the end we are cook and that, and that's what it is, you know. and so, you know, when i say when, when i have to say and express what i'm doing every day, i say, you know, guys what i'm doing every day. but just gonna, i compress into edible bye. and my passion music are, you know, the fast gars. but also sealing the center of the story because mike was being deeply valeo, but feel there by a contemporary mine. that's very important because be no style. jake, you don't evolve but being critic, you can take the back from the back into the future. and that's our, yo

so let's speak now to mike hannah, his live at the united nations mike. so chinese president, she's in ping said that china wouldn't invade in a country, and the disputes should be settled through dialogue. this is a very moderated speech from the chinese president, wasn't it wasn't d that was very restrained, given the rhetoric that had come out of china in the wake of that alliance, being signed by the u. s. the u. k. and australia. at that particular time, there been calls that this was a sign of a cold war mentality at imperial type of frame of reference. but the chinese president stayed away from any direct attack on the us and its allies, rather counting china as a country that was seeking global co operation. that was looking at multilateralism . that was seeking to help under developed countries and developing countries in terms of providing coven vaccines. so very much, a very restrained speech by the chinese president, particularly in terms of relations with the u. s. no direct criticism, despite the fact that this was expected in the wake of th

the fate of palestine now lay with the united nation. ah, the area in november 1947, i think the un general assembly adopted resolution 181 recommending the palestine the partitioned into separate arabs and jewish states. news of the united nation to recommend petition brings mild religion on the jewish communities. and rosalind this was the 1st ever international recognition of the long hopes for the jewish state. but the extremists saw no cause for celebration. they thought that the jews had absolute right to the whole of palestine and the borders of the dru state shouldn't be defined by any foreign bodies like the united nation. so they wanted greater israel, as it existed in biblical time. in april 1948. going to forces began a military operation to take control of arab areas assigned to the jewish state. under the partition plan, the extremist militias joined the effort, but soon they had overstep the mark. lucky and that is the stern gang, and has the british called them participated in one famous atrocity, which was of course conq
