thank you the united nations security council has met to discuss that a terrier icing situation and money they're asking for more troops and rissoles says that as fighting intensifies some countries are pulling their soldiers out of the un peacekeeping force because hot going to out with canadian troops operating out of the city of gal and more than money. this canadian task force is deep in mali's desert on a training mission to rescue frontline troops down below un soldiers french and west african forces are fighting twenty armed groups including the slavic state in the greater sahara and al-qaeda in the slum make my grab dr. and her team of medics flying aboard a chinook helicopter. this is a training exercise in hostile terrain. we don't know if there is still a to me the area so by treating them here we're putting ourselves a target so there's a possibility that if i just. look is a really big target so we don't there is an enemy. here yes which small in the back is set up to get out close to two hundred un troops have been killed in mali and this has become the deadliest peacekeepin

security council resolution. it's not the united states asking. this is the unanimous vote of the united nations security council called upon north korea to abide by these. north korea is a cignaer to but not in compliance with the biological weapons convention. north korea is not a member of the comprehensive test ban treaty nor is the united states as that was not ratified here as well. we are pressing north korea certainly for the elimination of nuclear chemical and biological consistent with the long standing of the united nations security council and so that's very important. the mechanism for doing those, in my view seems very useful available in the biological women's and chemical weapons convention in the case of nuclear weapons we're pursuing a larger vision than a comprehensive test ban but it's not in conflict certainly with the objectives but our diplomacy is about much, much more than the absence of nuclear testing. in the case of chemical weapons testing as the questioner points out, there is an organization called the oopcw which is the body for the chemical weapons body based in

the the the far right in israel and it is effectively undermining international law the united nations security council resolutions which were passed unanimously including by with the united states both in one thousand nine hundred one and in one nine hundred sixty seven so little by little that trumpet ministration is is showing itself if we talk about a rogue regime of course the united states declares that iran is a rogue regime the evidence seems to point the other way around it's the united states that seems to be operating in a and in the manner of a rogue regime undermining international law all right and briefly the tensions between israel and palestine have been escalating since the u.s. announcement do you expect further aggravation of the conflict. i think i do in fact a year ago we were hoping that the conflict in syria would be winding down well some people were thinking no there's going to be a long way to go unfortunately the forces that promoted that conflict do not want to see it won't wind down and. so there is the possibility of an. increase i mean that's one of the things that. the

and weapons systems the entire wmd program. , that is the requirement laid out by the united nations security council. the leaders met. chairman kim made a commitment to denuclearize. we continued to work to deliver on that. we had hostages returned. we have stopped missile testing and nuclear testing. we are hopeful that we can continue to have conversations and negotiations. i saw the remarks she made. she left open the possibility that negotiations would continue. it is the administration's desire we continue to have conversations around this. as the president said when he was in hanoi, the offer they made simply did not rise to the level that is acceptable, given what they were asking for an -- in exchange. reporter: just a quick follow-up on north korea what is , the next step? he also hinted kim jong-un would make a statement possibly lifting the moratorium on tests. secondly the human rights , ambassador said on wednesday removing the word "occupation" from the west bank was not a policy change. we know that israel is afraid of iran and hezbollah threatening israel. from the syrian side. in yo

and the united nations security council is meeting to discuss the deteriorating situation in mali they're also going for more troops and resources. now and other stories we're following u.s. president all trump has threatened to shut down the border with mexico he tweeted if mexico doesn't immediately stop all illegal immigration coming into the united states through our southern border i will be closing the border or large sections of the border next week embley halkett has more on this now from washington. u.s. president donald trump's threat to close portions of the southern border of the united states and mexico certainly is not without precedent we've seen this before president george w. bush did temporarily after the september eleventh attacks back in two thousand and one we also saw a republican president ronald reagan doing so in one thousand nine hundred eighty five his reasons for doing that in order to try and get mexico to cooperate when there were concerns that it was not being forthcoming with information that may be the motivations for donald trump this time around given th

the united nations security council has met to discuss the deteriorating situation in mali.hey are asking for more troops and resources. as fighting intensifies, some countries are pulling their soldiers out. we linked up with canadian troops operating out of the city in northern mali. reporter: this canadian task force is deep in molly's desert. a training mission to rescue wounded frontline troops. down below, u.n. soldiers are fighting 20 armed groups, including the islamic state in the greater scenario -- sahara. this dr. and her team of medics fly in a board a helicopter. this is a training exercise and hostile terrain. >> we don't know if they're still enemies in the area. we are putting ourselves as a target. possibly they will fight us. it's a really big target. we just want to pack up and get out. reporter: 200 u.n. troops have been killed in molly. it's the deadliest people keeping -- peacekeeping operation in their history. while this is a training exercise, the dangers are real. the canadian forces carried by venue nation. -- live in munition. the situation here

resolution had passed it would be the first case in history that the united nations security council to pull is the legitimate leader and imposed another one to a sovereign country the venezuelan representative spoke as well calling to stop interfering into the matters of his country the power to be this will has to do with having a swelling sovereignty and of an assault on people they behave like colonial east they are planning a planned this kind of peroration against it is sort of right out at the same kind of talking about the body to any force at the same time they are just feeding our money this is something outrageous indeed so the diplomatic community in the crossroads again the u.n. as thieves members who spoke after the voting called it to all of their colleagues to put their differences aside to resolve the venezuelan crisis reporting in new york treated each other as r.t. meantime hundreds of activists involved in the spanish capital madrid as a part of this when the president nicolas maduro demonstrators chanted slogans and waved off venezuela banners they condemned what

countries would like to see and other countries the dean the national i mean the national security council did there the united nations try to reach that agreement no agreement has been reached there so now there is a new position. that my that they could lead to very. very terrible results and you know that the public opinion if you see the media the. comments in the media in the in the social network you see us as a world of the very debated regard to the case of venezuela so this will mean an imposition of government. and good chance that government could chose one way bill could chance to live by way bill and these he said very important question it's not about the people of venezuela it's about one country that has had negotiations with one personally what i think. will be arrested when he returns to venezuela. well a chance as well there are chances that he's going to be arrested considering the fact that he is representing the opposition and a possibility of violence and that's that's something that we cannot forget we know that it was a lot this of course is part of his. probably the litter of this opp

a session of the united nations security council is underway to discuss u.s.ognition of the golan heights as israel territory. the meeting was called by syria. live now to james bays. that move by the u.s. incredibly controversial. tell us what is going on with the security council. reporter: in the security council now for nearly 45 minutes, we've been listening to the council members speaking. dominican republic speaking now. it is a picture of 14 against one around the security council table with everyone opposed to the u.s. move. it feels to me and maybe to you watching a little bit like the film groundhog day. 24 hours ago, the security council talked about this in a meeting on the middle east. all of the members of the security council weighed in on this. and now a specific meeting on the goal and. i think that is the most important thing. allowed thisthat meeting to take place. france is the president of the security council. for the meeting, but can't actually call a meeting. france decided to have this meeting and that shows the unease and the anger o

the status of the occupied golan is in trying in security council resolution position has not changed while what will see next here at the united nations is the u.n. security council on shoes day they were already going to discuss the israeli palestinian issue they now have two things to discuss the situation with regard to that u.s. recognition of israeli sovereignty over the go land and the ongoing military action in garza it's worth telling you that since the start of the trumpet ministration the international community and the u.n. security council pretty much left to the diplomacy on this issue to the united states is that going to continue because i can tell you behind the scenes kemal there's a growing sense of unease ok james bay is at the u.n. thank you. and through with us here and our senior political analyst mona shower what is well this is a broad question what is donald trump doing in specifically to talk about the occupied golan heights reversing fifty years of u.s. policy with a pen stroke let me just add that also he is trumpeting over a united nations security council resolution forty nine seven was passed with the u.

small deal the sanctions against north korea internationally agreed sanctions at the united nations security council level they've been build up steadily since two thousand and six in response to north korean provocations and they're now some of the most comprehensive sanctions packages that we've seen agreed at the u.n. security council devil so simply giving those up no matter how much you get in return is not a small deal i don't think that was ever going to be agreed today. what could have been done perhaps are limited exceptions or limited economic projects but i think that's a completely different area of sanctions lifting is not sanctions relief it sanctions exceptions and that didn't seem to be what was what was being expected from the north koreans in return and to say whoa. is sanctions exemptions is something that south korea would have welcomed right. absolutely in fact government here was very much prepare to. proceed with these measures there would be what you might term limited economic engagements and they would have mainly consisted of restoring some of the joint ventures that were

us in a position where we and presumably the international community because these are united nations security council engines, we would be in a position where we would be lifting the economic pressure that has been imposed upon north korea for the totality of the weapons of mass destruction programs. we lift the pressure but in exchange for only a portion of the weapons of mass destruction programs. that would have put us in a difficult position of subsidizing what would potentially be ongoing development of weapons of mass destruction of north korea. we need a total solution. this is what the president brought to the table. this is what the president has sincerely conveyed. the united states is ready to go down this road with north korea to transform relations and create a permanent peace regime to denuclearization , but north korea has to be committed and as the president said at his press conference, he challenged chairman kim to go big and to buy into the vision. to do this together with us. i know the north koreans found that typical to accept. leslie we didn't get to a point at the summit in ha

united nations how worried are they james about the situation in mali. well we've just been hearing in fact from the french foreign minister on his way into the meeting he's now in the security council chamber you can see the live pictures of the security council chamber and the secretary general of the united nations antonio terrace about to speak to the assembled ministers and ambassadors when this meeting gets underway in a moment as you are right in saying the backdrop from this is that awful attack in central mali and the fact that the violence or mali has been spreading particularly to bikini but also to other countries in the region in the sun hail as well so this is causing concern here at the united nations where in addition to this meeting this high level meeting on mali they've been having a meeting on u.n. peacekeeping across the world and one of the biggest needs for u.n. peacekeeping across the world is extra resources for mali they've been asking member states to come up with more resources i can give you some breaking news that there are more resources that have been pledged sweden has said it will send a specialized infantry company in twenty twenty also a mobile tr

against a small sovereign country without declaring war and without any permission from the united nations security council was a transformative act which has changed the world ever since it was a formula use using the idea that you don't need u.n. security council authorization then was a formula implemented at the expense of iraq and libya and elsewhere so so far the decision to bomb yugoslavia has led to over a million casualties worldwide and rising and finally we now know that in some of ninety eight nearly a year before the bombing the aggression began tony blair and bill clinton according to the clinton library transcripts were actually plotting how to subs. it's the authority of the u.n. security council by having a unilateral declaration of war without u.n. authority so we know that they were planning to do it well before the things they used as excuses obviously the scene there changed several former yugoslavian countries are now nato allies what does that tell us about the the overall the current overall situation in the region. it tells us that everyone has realized that there is no that the we
