the united nations needs the assembly of nations, of leadership of those nations. so when we criticize the united nations or criticize in action -- inaction, we criticize ourselves and our inability to respond to crises in an adequate manner. the united nations is not perfect. the united nations is a product of the last century. the united nations, there should be reforms. that is a matter of fact. whether the united nations can be reformed is still an open question. even now i do not register any genuine desire from the permanent members of the united nations to launch reform. in the u.n. charter -- and the u.n. charter which was approved and guided by the wishes of three nations. the united states, the u.k. and the soviet union who did their best to protect their powers. nothing can be changed in the charter. so when it comes to the conflict as we all see now basically the u.n. and in particular the security council are immobilized because the interests of one of the members are at stake. missy: just to clarify your eye getting at the fact that russia as a perman

now the question is being raised about a fundamental reform of the united nations organization, a reform according to the plan of very many uh countries and, in any case, the politicians of these countries, undermines the very essence of the organization, its authority and work on coordinated countermeasures. a global threat to the ideas of a radical revision, its statute and the established principles of the functioning of the security council, they are not you, this is true, but now these calls are heard most loudly. to a large extent today they have been held together by an anti-russian orientation. the idea of ​​depriving the status of a permanent member of the security council haunts many of our friends. in quotation marks there are also ideas for a general revision of the institution of membership in the security council and a number of other proposals, but i will express our attitude towards these approaches, but, firstly, the various united nations surrogates will only make things worse with all sorts of global summits for democracy, the community of democratic states in an order

there is no place else to do that, other than the united nations. >> not an ambassador, you are only the second black woman ever to serve as the united states and passenger to the united nations. only the second black women. susan -- was the first, you are the second. what do you want americans to remember about ambassador linda thomas-greenfield? >> is the same thing i tell people to remember about me in every position of ever held. that is that i care. and that my approaches has always been one of dealing with these issues with kindness and compassion. my rule is, people can just say at the end of my life, she was kind, that i feel like i've accomplished what i needed to accomplish in the world. >> i have one last question for you. i think it's something we need to clear up. what is the proper color for the -- in your gumbo? >> rue has to be very dark. >> clean it up. now rue has to be people need to. no >> rules to be very dark. there is such a thing as gumbo that is a little too white, and if your rue is not dark enough, you end up with white gu

okay, a yasmin morocco's claim to western sar her to her is not recognized by the united nations. oh, the western sahara construct is 1st of all only and solely under the security council. now we have seen are those countries like the united states, france, spain, which is the former colonizer, and that actually recognized for the plan of autonomy which, which is under the moroccan sovereignty, which is, which claims that morocco to have the western sahara. and there it's a, it's sovereignty. so for me, i think that the problem is solved within it will be sort of a solved within, within the, secure it within the security council and no other body, not even the african union is responsible of this. to solve this issue only the security council we have seen more than $34.00 resolution that will for a political solution. the referendum is the bi, done a referendum which, which we don't use for it for 18 years. it's a dead it or what a voice it can talk to you about that? yes we were. why is the referendum did well? what happened to it was pro way back a us a ready because it's not cre

because they simply cannot imagine the united nations abdicating and giving his blessing to enact illegalupation. this is what is taking place under the night nation. -- the united nations. as a positions other countries, we do not know what made to spain changes position, is blackmail pressure from expansionist seems -- regimes. the fact remains western sahara is a decolonization issue and lb not -- and i will not be changed by other countries. in a rules-based international order that goes against the illegal opposite -- occupation territories by force. this is what is the case. this is what the sarin people have been fighting for. there will continue to fight for the rights. the illegal proposal that has no basis whatsoever. nick: do you think this could escalate into conflicts? sidi: absolutely. the position taken by spain and other governments will only add to the instability of the entire region. they are encouraging an expansionist regime to go on with its attempt to force on the ground. we live in a rules-based world that goes against occupation. that is why the occupation by -- t

what we've had you met us was that were not functions by the united nation. we are in iraq, syria and the u. s. went, i know it's time to week and there wasn't so much talk about defiance of the united nations. now one of the n a and we know the history, why and i, she, i moved into the region of ukraine and now all of a sudden the west and where to cry fall. i think there are double standards it play at all times. and i think it be where you are the entire way opened his eyes and they can see they can do guys that to fact from fiction. and this is why the corporation of critics will indeed to be leading force to buy these actions. because greece, nations can see that they cannot to rely on and trust with the patch notes on the west. yeah, i key theme. we're hearing flu from the brakes. members, it is multi lateral isn't an idea that the west isn't particularly fond of. how do you think that divergence could play out amid the ukraine crisis and economic instability generally in the world? i think the number one was good to legal guy to head. it's not be a ful

okay. jasmine, morocco's claim to western sar her to her is not recognized by the united nations. oh, the western sahara construct is 1st of all only and solely under the security council . now we have seen are those countries like the united states, france as spain should the former colonizer and at that actually recognize the plan of autonomy, which is, which is under the moroccan sovereignty, which is which claims that morocco to have the western sahara. and there it's 8 suburbs each. so for me, i think that a big problem is solved within it will be so they solved within, within their, secure it within the security council and no other body, not even the african union, is responsible of this search to solve this issue. only the security council we have seen more than $34.00 is solution that will for a political solution. the referendum is that by dine a river and then which, which we don't with for it for 18 years, it's a dead, it arrives little. and alex, good. okay, brother years we were wise the referendum that we're at what happened to it was pro way back um you know it is w

so we're supporting the united nations in this regard. but there's a region that doesn't want a political solution. how much hold on you get that in the senate while number hold on less and find out the additional stuff at us. and so it's important for the russian federation, for iran and other countries who have connections with the government to influence this government in disregard. because the only solution is a political solution. we're not talking about terroristic jersey. that was jamie, if we're going to reach an agreement to have a topic and we will be supporting the territorial integrity of syria. we could understand that. so we're looking at threats that are against the big resume and the territorial integrity of this country, as well as our own country. the p k, k and the y p g are not the same. unfortunately, these organizations are being supported primarily by the us. and this is the primary reason why we have opposed the nato membership of sweden and finland. there's no other reason for our opposition to that process. and

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 thefore it is extremely important that we al highlight the her plaiiffs. 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.

states and the united nations strove to establish an independent democratic republic. two years ago at seoul capital of korea a united nations commission supervised free elections south of the 38th parallel and the republic of korea a sovereign democratic nation was born its president was sigmundry. in may 1950 the citizens of this young republic went to the polls again to exercise their democratic rights to choose their government under their democratic constitution. unnecess citizens of the korean republic voted in free elections the north korean communist leaders were boasting a very intention to unify the country by force. and this was their target apparently mountainous peninsula and the 20 million peace-loving citizens of the republic of korea. the attack by the north korean communists came suddenly and without warning the heroic republican army faced by superior forces with all the advantages of deception and surprise rally to the defense of the republic improvising quickly to meet the unprovoked aggression

and the whole operation would be overseen by a come up from a coma center run by united nations. and now how is a turkey managing to balance its relations with both ukraine and russia? shirley, this is a delicate balance to strike. want okey doke the dental trip position on very early on. and they always defended that. the only solution to end the war would be based on negotiations and turkey as a critical relations both with ukraine and with russia in many different fields in tourism, in trade, in the military. and meanwhile, they propose a 1st peace talks in searcy in the middle of march, and obviously which was collapsed. and what's interesting is to get you to keep the communication channels with russia open tri channels open. meanwhile, selling military drones to ukraine and they manage so far to balance, to, to continue a balanced position. and now, what is it that target gets out of assuming a key role in these negotiations on blocking green exports out of ukraine. why actually there's a lot at stake and he wants to prove, once again, i don't, government wants to prove onc

if not the greatest humanitarian crisis facing the united nations. you have $18000000.00 people in yemen who are on the brink of starvation a, an appeal for $4300000000.00, nearly $4300000000.00 to help the situation there. to put it in perspective, that's more than it is being raised and asked for, for ukraine right now. and attention has shifted away from yemen. so people, there are really suffering at a time when food prices are going up. so the u. n is really focused on trying to raise money to keep progress. going to make these advances more tangible to people on the ground and, and get people back to life as normal by extending the terms and working to extend the truth. even further christians let me bring us the news is that from the united nations in europe, thanks very much. pressed him now the wells leading oil producers have agreed to increase the output. opec members on the opec plus partners will raise output by $648000.00 barrels a day in july and august. latest boost will compensate for a drop in russian oil. moscow's production fell a

this is the proposed plan by united nations. and turkey also shows that this will be run by the ukrainian come to come to part cuba. and when you grant a grease, i think the did the work to get the grain out starts in the coming weeks. now of course, this is contingent on ukraine agreeing, but can you tell us more about how turkey plans do help you creamy and green reach global markets where basically we hear in turkish media, especially that the proposed plan involves turkey to take part in clearing the minds and escorting the, the, the rest of our carrying the grain and to read from ukraine to international waters in black sea region. and the next stage would be the turkey in russian warships would escort the great ships to arrive in both for straight and stumble. and the whole operation would be overseen by a common from a coma center run by united nations. and now, how is a turkey managing to balance its relations with both ukraine and russia? shirley, this is a delicate balance to strike. want ok a doctor to know to positio

there, this whole bureaucratic machine unfolds as well all this the huge headquarters of the united nationst is becoming more dynamic, more decisive. well, you see. today we also heard huge support for ukraine, because before the security council meeting, many representatives of countries came out with a statement demanding an investigation. well, such harsh language is very serious was during the meeting itself, what is important is that we see, well, not only the isolation of russia, we see who is who, who is on whose side, and even if the meeting was held only for this purpose, it was already useful, we see that the event is unequivocally supports ukraine. what is china? india has its own reasons for china. india earns money from russian oil, which, as you know, is being kept silent again, but no more . the need to create a special investigative commission at the un level that would investigate the strikes of russian troops on civilian infrastructure objects in ukraine if this commission is made if it is created if it starts working then this will be a very serious step in order not only

so basically, we are there in the united nations, and the united nations is a product of three old gentlemenave russia sitting in front of us, and we still pretend that we have to respect it. and the only reason we respect russian federation is because-- i do not respect, but they have to respect. ( laughter ) that's a very important correction. because they possess the nuclear arsenal, and they are really paranoid as russia may use nukes against them. >> trevor: so is your argument then that russia shouldn't be sitting as one of those permanent members of the u.n.? >> first of all, russia is not a permanent member if you ask me. russia occupied the seat of the soviet union back in 1991. the same way russia occupied georgia. the same way russia occupied moldava. the same way russia invaded syria. so russia occupies, occupies, occupies. and we are all complac anti-with that. we're very complac anti-to that until the night of the 23rd, and all of a sudden we were surprised it happened, which was imminent for 40 years. >> trevor: do you think maybe this has been-- you know, it-- everything in h

the west is cooled on the united nations security council to have a look at this present. payton said, look, we targeted an arms depot that is absolutely clear. there is video evidence to prove that the west, however, has agreed with the ukrainian version of this, which is that russia deliberately targeted at this mall. it says it has video evidence to prove that so both sides believing that they are right on this. but president putin reiterated that russia does not attack on target civilians. when you book a game, guzman schema russian troops do not target civilian infrastructure. there is no need to do that as we have every capability to track military targets and strike them using long range, high precision weapons. and these comments they call come right on the heels of the g 7 summit. formerly the g 8, russia used to be a part of this group. i'm talk to me about what the president had to say about to russian west relations, where he clearly was pointing out the obvious, hey, when he said that the relationship between the west, this is g 7 and russia is not good at the moment. thi

. ♪♪ out also without a doubt >> tucker: what does the united nations have to do with your kids? be involved with raising your children? well, they are very aggressively. kimberly els one of the few people who's looked into this and has a brand new book on it. we talked to her for a new episode of tucker carlson today, fascinating. here's part of the conversation. >> once i found out about the children's sexual rights regime kind of, i quickly kind of miraculously found other people who were aware of this and had been working on it at the global level for some time. and so i became cephalad some groups of people at the united nations who were advocating for families and children. and so it's when i went to the u n that it really came into focus. so my first visit there was quite eye opening. first of all, i heard people advocating for legalizing sex work, prostitution. people advocating for sexual rights for children. in one meeting i was in, they called pregnancy a career interruption. that's what they called it. and abortion was called a therapeutic interruption of pregnancy. s

according to the united nations food and agriculture organization. there's also evidence that moscow's troops have been looting storage facilities and transporting the grain back to russia. to make matters worse, rushes invasion has deliberately targeted ukraine's agricultural sector, leading to downgraded harvest forecasts for this year. now to some of the other global business stories making news, australia's antitrust regulator has sued air b and b, saying the accommodation sharing website misled users into paying more than advertise from 2018 to 2021. it advertised and charge room rates in us dollars without indicating the much higher rates in australian dollars, or b and b refused to refund users who complained. us treasury secretary, janet jaelyn, says inflation is that an acceptable levels? but she said it was a global problem. speaking to a senate committee, she defended president biden stimulus package, which some blame for rising prices. yellen said it had been needed to prevent high unemployment and poverty people or did damp rushes. forei

i hope as a place where understanding between nations was advanced by the united states. and the soviet union it was last june about a year ago that chairman casigan and i sat down in president robinson's living room. for two days of discussions our talks ranged over the whole globe. the year since then has been eventful and uncertain. like the age that we live in but hope and achievement. are certainly there to see and our relations with the soviet union offer an example. many feared that the war in vietnam would prevent any progress. many predictions were made to this effect. but despite the predictions and despite the difficulties. we have agreed upon a treaty outlawing armaments in outer space. we have negotiated a treaty banning the spread of nuclear weapons. we have achieved a civil air agreement. that permits soviet union planes to land in the united states and united states plans to land in the soviet union and we're also moving toward other agreements. i would like to conclude my brief remarks by expressing the hope that relations between our countries will devel

chuck: there's so much clarity that was brought to his criticism of the united nations. i don't -- i'm sure there is a mechanism to get rid of a permanent member. fmr. amb. taylor: i don't think there is. george will know better than i. chuck: it is amazing that's her incontinence to not even have a permanent member -- certain continents do not even have a permanent member. fmr. amb. taylor: this is a topic of a thought already in mornings to be going forward. we will do that. chuck: we are in the second half hour of our conversation so i will get ready for questions. but i have one more question before we open up. that is, how does ukraine not become syria? fmr. amb. taylor: ukraine is a stronger nation. ukraine has been strengthened over the last eight years. but certainly over the last three months even. it is so unified at this point. ukraine is so unified. it's military is fighting so fiercely, with the support of the ukrainian people. again, with zelenskyy being a true representative of the ukrainian people and the ukrainian people strongly supporting him, they don
