last week, a team of experts commissioned by the united nations human rights council to look at human rights violations in ukraine found that russia had committed war crimes in ukraine, including the use of beatings, electric shocks, and forced nudity against detained individuals. the experts have also been investigating alleged executions in kyiv, kharkiv, the southern regions of the ukraine and other places. in september, as the ukraine successfully pushed back russian forces, police investigators and war crimes prosecutors began investigating a recently discovered mass burial site in the city of izium. 450 bodies were discovered at the burial site. the vast majority were civilians, including white -- women, children, and elderly people. according to investigators, some of the bodies show signs of torture. the department has confirmed that during russia's invasion of ukraine, there have been multiple credible reports of russian forces launching indiscriminate attacks in the city of mariupol that hit abc 8 are clearly marked to indicate it was for civilians. the strike killed 300. so

united nations. and briefing the security council right now is coming to the end of his speech. is martin griffith, who's the humanitarian coordinator for the you and he's one of the you and officials that negotiated this deal in july. the deal that the un believes is the one good thing that has come out of the month since the russian invasion in february that deal was signed in july, but managed to stabilize grain prices, which had been going through the roof. and it's worth telling you that since russia has suspended its participation in that black sea grain initiative, when the chicago board of trade opened today, great prices were up 6 percent. and this is really concerning the united nations because they believe that is going to mean they're going to be many people around the world again, who are going to be threatened with hunger and starvation around the world. martin griffiths addressed that in his speech to the security council, rebecca greenspan, who is the head of the trade part of the you and is now addressing the security council. one of the things that mr. griffith

union joined the united nations and the security council of the united nations, but this does not mean that these efforts should not be made, because they have the next realistic rightlife and should bear fruit, which is true, unfortunately, in the world of diplomacy , in the world of bureaucratic institutions, it takes much more time than the need we have today, when we are waging war every day on our territory, mrs. ivan, a couple of weeks ago, another, i am not afraid of this word, historic decision was passed, it is about our application for accelerated accession to the euro-atlantic community, well, now the attention has shifted a little to other points, now something is moving in your opinion in this direction and are there already any very clear, for example, positive signals from our nato partners? we have several clear signals from those countries that have consistently and for many decades supported 16 to the north atlantic alliance this support and further advocacy efforts of these countries to help ukraine is important. but er, i believe that we could not count on the fact that the north atlantic alliance would immediately respond to us with some such er

it is not such a state anymore, they have nuclear weapons they have the right of veto in the security council the united nations, but now we see how much they have reduced themselves militarily, they have lost a lot of officers, this is their formidable reputation, so compared to china, which is now a great power, it creates real challenges for the west. challenges then, in my opinion, turned russia into an isolated pariah. become increasingly weaker economically. so in this sense, the world order, which is undergoing changes because russia is rolling in on us, does diplomacy now have a chance to put an end to this war , it is necessary to make a lot of effort so that diplomacy worked, there are many people who talked about becoming a potential mediator, etc., but ukraine is clearly not going to cede its territory, and putin claims an area that he does not even territorially control, that is, if russian is spoken in the region and he should be automatically dismissed, there are issues that can be discussed. i am convinced that there will come a moment when the russian military will feel completely incompetent,

valeriu , can this vote be a prologue to the reform of the united nations, in particular, regarding the un security council, where russia has the right of veto well, we have repeatedly talked with you on the air about how russia got into the un security council and in general into the un since 1991, when they declared themselves the legal successors of the soviet union, at a time when belarus and ukraine were the founders the united nations organizations actually extended their membership after the collapse of the soviet union because ukraine was already represented there during the soviet union, and can this unity encourage the united nations organization, as at one time a league of nations, to reformat or make some new object? unity, if only to limit the right of russian terrorists, a country of terror, to influence world politics by using the right of veto in the council of security, well, let me briefly say, yes, i do not count on the fact that russia will be thrown out of the un, so even if she will lose absolutely on legal grounds she will lose now this place she will submit in a new way, as china did in its time and she will b

the possible exclusion or, let's say, the limitation of russia's rights in the organization of the united nations, including in the councilsecurity, but you and i talked several times on our broadcasts about the status of the russian federation, how it gained authority in the organization of the united nations in 1991, and you talked about the fact that there are legal points regarding the legal succession of the russian federation, the fact that it declared itself, or let's say , the cis countries agreed to the fact that russia was the legal successor of the ussr in the un, and according to the un charter, russia still had to go through the entire procedure from joining the un to its acceptance into the un security council, taking into account the fact that literally 10 days ago, the un general assembly voted on a resolution condemning the accession of the occupied territories by russia territories of ukraine and we received the result of 143 votes and there were only a few against er is there a chance to throw russia out of the un security council, so that they do not interfere with er with their veto the organization o

right to vote in the security council. at least for the time when aggressive actions are taking place, and the international court of human rights of the united nationspe that appropriate procedures will be applied to putin, i have a more down-to-earth question, which refers to the active little putin who came from the russian federation, put on the criminal uniform of the russian federation army and began to kill our civilians, in particular, starting to bombard our cities with aviation, machines with artillery, and so on, and these little tiny birds were captured, and according to how the situation looks with them now, because we regularly hear information about the exchange of a possible exchange of all for all, but on the other hand, there are military criminals i do not know whether it is worth giving for exchange here, the collision is extremely delicate and difficult, mr. mykola, you, as a lawyer , pro

great honor to be here with a friend, president of the human rights council and permanent representative of argentina to the united nationsn geneva. i'm convinced that federico's presence in washington is of the utmost importance to our country not only because of his current responsibility to preside over the human rights council but above all because his career represents a perfect centrifuge of two of the main values that underpin argentina and foreign policy. a strong commitment to multilateralism and the international promotion and protection of human rights. coming from a country whose citizens have experienced massive atrocities during our recent past, we learned about how powerful the multilateral citizen can be to denounce such violations. i am thinking about the historic visit of the american commission of human rights to argentina in 1979 during our last dictatorship. on the other hand, has we got our democracy back in 1983, we were able to re-create ourselves as a society under a new social contract, one established the protection of human rights as a permanent domestic and foreign state policy. in that regard

the united nations in new york in the resolution condemning russia that was put before the security council was drawn up jointly by albania, and by the us in defense of all countries to have the right to be safe from invasion, an annexation. we are voting yes. and in defense of the world's collective peace and security. weird you to vote yes to let us show putin the resolve of this council. in response, russia sounded incredulous. scarcity. ruth, should you tell me, do you seriously expect russia to consider and support such a draft? and if not, then it turns out that you are intentionally pushing us to use the right of the veto in order to then wax lyrical about the fact that russia abuses this, right? those. and so when the draft resolution was put to the vote, there was no doubt how russia would respond. it's a permanent member of the security council with veto power. and it used it. abstentions, please raise your hands, but it's no to bullet for other council members decided not to support the resolution. and instead to abstain china, brazil, gabon, and india escalation of rhetoric or tension is in no one's interest. it is important that pathways are found for a return to the n

council . molly reserves the rights exercise. it's right to some defense difference continues to undermine the sovereignty of our country and to undermine its territorial integrity and its national security package. united nations security council meeting. the marley foreign minister went on to repeat allegations that molly has leveled at the paris government in the past. and these include allegations that france continues to use a marley, a space, and also that it continues to supply weapons to islamic militants who are operating primarily in the north, west, and parts of marley. now we're talking here about extremis, with links to al qaeda with links to islamic state. and they have been on the offensive for the better part of a decade. the relations between marley and france soured, particularly after the qu, in their country, back in august 2020. and amongst the other criticisms that the marley government has towards france is that it says that france has vetoed or has stopped any kind of developmental projects that have been suggested to the advantage of molly, at international forums. it has supported sanctions against smiley. in the past, and at the same time, it has entrenched military agreements

but russia was and remains a member of the un security council and has the right of veto and decides or influences the decisions of the united nationsnecessary to reform the un or restart the un or create at the place of the un, another security structure, as it once was with the league of nations, the security format has not been effective for a long time , it is obvious to everyone . general secretary well, it is obvious to everyone why, because it is designed in such a way, when uh, in its key body, there are two different worldview concepts, one is democratic, and the other is totalitarian , well, how can uh, uh, combine what cannot be combined in principle, that's why all this and it is happening , the un has been trying to reform it for 50 years, and so far without results, because again the contradictions between good and evil are getting in the way, but what did mr. serhiyevich demonstrate in the last revolution, in fact, it can become a turning point moment in the history of the united nations why because it gathered a much larger number of countries that are needed in order to make decisions through the general assembly th

russia right now is a permanent member of the united nations security council and yet it is launchingyou know, outrageous drone attacks on civilian targets in the capital city of another country. obviously not very much a guarantor of nuational security is russia. >> yet it doesn't seem there will be much change to that. >> no. >> we were talking to fred pleitgen just in the last hour, and he was talking with us about russian troops and concerns about the belarusian border and whether ukraine is in a position to deal if there are threats coming from that northern border to also deal with that potential threat. how much is that do you think a consideration at this point? >> yeah. i think that it's been a constant worry. again, vladimir putin has very few allies at this point, even those who historically supported him. other leaders in central asia for example have started to criticize him publicly in ways that are surprising. the leader of belarus is more or less one of the only other world leaders who has stood by putin's war of aggression against ukraine, and with putin under pressur

victim of unfair criticism that the united nations, it says it singled out where other countries are not israeli officials repeatedly criticize the un human rights council. it's inquiries and it's investigators. but the criticism from israel has never been a strong as this a tweet from the israeli prime minister. yeah, the peed criticizes a report by relatively new body. the commission of inquiry on israel and the palestinian territories. he says its authors have shown themselves to be purveyors of their learned anti semitism with one go de legitimize thing and defaming israel . the commission is chaired by the former high commissioner of human rights now of a pill. a she used to be a judge in south africa appointed by nelson mandela. and this was her reaction to the criticism of the prime minister. and i'm 81 years old. and this is the 1st time i've been accused of anti semitism. and we, we send messages to the city general and to states that he has 3 of us who are, i mean, without any remuneration of our web asked to serve. we didn't, we didn't apply for these positions. and we giving allowed time energy because we so committed to justice, rule of law

but russia was and remains a member of the un security council and has the right of veto and decides or influences the decisions of the united nations according to yours or has not yet arrived at a time when it is necessary to reform the un or restart the un or create another security structure in place of the un, as it once was with the league of nations in a security format for a long time no, it is not effective, it is obvious to everyone. even the ovaniv top officials are talking about it, including mr. gutierrez, the current general secretary. well, it is obvious to everyone, why, because it is designed in such a way, when in its key body, there are two different concepts of the worldview, one is democratic and the other is totalitarian. well, how can you combine things that cannot be combined in principle. that is why all this is happening. the un has been trying to reform for 50 years and so far without results because again these contradictions between good and evil stand in the way, but what did the last revolution really show mr. serhiyevich? this could be a turning point in the history of the united nations. to make decis

united nations security council on october 19. while france denied the claims as defamatory, not long after the accusations, many pro-russian accounts have been sharing this post right here. this post with over 13,000 views, together with this video that would be proof that france supports terrorism in mali, claiming that french soldiers are arming terrorists. video goes along with the post where we see french soldiers. we can see them transporting these weapons as well, and if we fast forward a bit, we can see this man in a turban with this soldier handing him a yellow package with weapons in it. according to readers who alerted the france 24 observers team, the video has also been circulating widely in what subgroups in mali, so the video claiming that france supports terrorism. mark: the question is -- is that message the truth? what does this video really show us? >> to find the origin of this video, we use visual clues to find where it came from. the most obvious one was this one with the ap logo on the video right here. to find the context in which these images were shot, we searched the associated press archives where we found this video entitled long road to

conclusions can we draw about the united nations in view of the ukrainian - the russian war, the fact that russia is a permanent member of the security council and has the right to veto by definition means that they are going to cover up their aggression in that part of the un that is entrusted with ensuring international peace and security. so this means that an important part of the un mechanism has been blocked since 2014 and cannot bring russia to justice, and this is the un security council. despite this, we found ways for the un to show that the majority of the world public sees what russia is doing. we found ways to provide support, for example, to the international criminal court that gathers evidence for a possible investigation here russia prevents it from doing its job and this is a flaw in the system when the aggressor has the right to veto without a doubt but russia cannot veto the truth russia cannot veto the responsibility in the long term in europe on the eve of the heating season of more expensive firewood that pallet reports bloomberg in france a ton of wood in pellets costs €600, it is twice as expensive as last year romania has limited the

making those claims timing their rights because christos smith smith is elijah to months since he did not get the mandate from the security council of the united nations. and he's supposed to, as all the previous ones they did. so i think that the crisis, political rises in bosnia did not. and here, and especially in the old movie, cross federation, republican service, guys, again, it leaves its own life and it doesn't even bother with schmidt's statements, decisions, laws, unlawful laws, and so, and so on. so i think that the assessment of russia is correct. but of course, i'm nothing girl will definitely change, i believe, until to some kind of a new arrangement for the country. and of course, snyder, serbs, north cross in bosnia, want to be dominated by the simple majority. because what about them wasn't? leadership always says they say all, let's make bosnia, you know, a country where. busy olds are equal and, and all the citizens are equal. but in fact, that would be that they mean that the country would be centralized and that the other 2 peoples would feel marginalized and be over voted the same way that cross or over voted for lost a standard

right, there are three things you can do, and one of them is the diplomatic statements you here. we condemn it, maybe there is another resolution at united nations security councilnorth korea has heard them before, it won't have much effect. secondly, sanctions but north korea is already one of the most heavily sanctioned countries on earth so that is unlikely. and the third is talk. one of the things north korea may be signalling with this is that it's time to get back into serious discussions, meaning with the united states and north korea, the last time we had any such talks was about three years ago when president trump was still in office. there has basically been radio silence since the two countries since. how realistic is that proposition? we have recently had kamala harris in the region, we've had military drills from south korea, japan, the us. they can also be seen as a provocation from north korea's respective? right, there are mutual and balanced provocations going on here. they object to the restoration of south korea—us drills, we've had navy exercises involving a nuclear—powered carrier off the coast of north korea now. you have a new conservativ

of the united nations and the security council, but also of the european union and nato countries, that is, one of the states of this respectable one or the other structure cannot have the right dictate to everyone else, how should the community live, the challenges continue. every citizen of ukraine must understand that air warning signals apply to everyone, and the authorities must draw conclusions about what to say publicly and what to simply draw conclusions and prepare for challenges, not only uh, preparation is booming, there are other more serious things, i do i wanted to give my daughter a word, but today i remember. we are working in this studio system today, it is not just to create some kind of picture there, the electricity consumption of our studio during the live broadcast is about 50 kw this is very, very much, now we have reduced it to less than 20 and well, we will try to use as little electricity as possible during this broadcast evening time. there may simply be shelling of the energy structure, they will happen and there is no doubt that russia will continue these shellings because what happened in the end continued today, but what happened yesterday and t
