. >> madam president, the united nations is following ongoing of the peace and departure -- the united states, members of the north atlantic treaty association, and the organization for the security and cooperation in europe. we hope and outcome of these talks will strengthen peace and security in europe, including for ukraine. we were rain concerned that even as these efforts continue, tensions keep escalating in a military buildup is in the heart of europe. it is reported that over 100,000 troops and heavy weaponry for the federation are in a position on the border with ukraine. unspecified numbers of russian troops and weaponry are also reported being deployed to delacruz, ahead of joint military exercises in february on the borders of ukraine, poland and the baltic states. the secretary-general has made clear there will be no alternative to deal with the conflicts, long-standing can -- long-standing security concerns and threats that have been raised. he has expressed his strong belief there should not be any military intervention in this context and diplomacy should prevail. he ha

one important facet of our participation in the united nations is our commitment to the united nations charter and the body of international law that the u.n. seeks to uphold, including on the rights of migrants. i, along with many of my colleagues, have been alarmed by the biden administration's title 42 order which expels individuals at the southern border. the u.n. high commissioner for refugees says this policy is inconsistent with international norms and may constitute refinement. the former counsel to the state department has affirmed these concerns, saying the title 42 policy "continues to violate our legal obligation to not expel or return individuals who fear persecution, death, or torture." and violates the refugee convention, a foundational treaty for the u.s. work on refugees. he called these deportations "illegal and inhumane." while this is a cdc order, the state department is responsible for ensuring the u.s. policy adheres to our treaty commitments, including the united nations charter. has the state department made an assessment of the legality of the title 42 policy u

obviously, also, the structure of the united nations has been criticized over the last years. and which of course is shaped by the world war to order so many see it as quite our data. they have been reform plans, they have not been implemented. and of course, that leads to the situation that critics also called the united nations in the current situation, at least, which involves a country that has veto rights as a toothless tiger. right. and so what does ukraine want from the un? well they would of course like to see a resolution clearly and if not, then at least putting their topic on the world stage. and that is the realistic expectation here. ukrainian foreign minister certainly like today, being on the same page with the secretary general of the united nations could terrace when he said and warned really the world of devastating, potentially devastating global consequences of a full scale invasion of ukraine that would lead to millions of refugees and quote unquote scale and severity of need unseen in many years. so deborah, definitely a grim picture that the secretary ge

the united nations had a purpose. the additional bravery of the protesters in russia is not in vain. let us do everything we can to help the people of ukraine as i stand up for themselves for their sovereign country and their children. thank you. >> to the -- to albania. >> formally, it is purely -- it's significant is significant proportions. then try to lock the when at a time when we need it most. not anymore. those fine lines open the big door were the world [indiscernible] an unprovoked and unjustified pure attack of aggression. the unc session is not condoning the provoked war. is -- and is about upholding the u.n. charter. they want to listen to the world and here. russia must be stopped in its attempt to break international rules and to replace it from its role. all member states, especially like-minded, which come to take the majority of the u.n., we must remember that international law rules the u.n. charter and they are the best friends, best army. it is the best insurance. russia's actions undermined them

nations charter, international law and relevant resolutions of the united nations. i conclude by stressing that the tensions around the situation in the ukraine and the potential consequences make it very clear. the situation very clear as the secretary general has stated about your replacing diplomacy by confrontation would be to take a dive over a cliff that the time has come to endorse efforts channelled in one single direction. they taunt, diplomacy and dialogue. thank you, mister president. the a little bit that i think the representative of mexico for a statement. i now give the floor to the representative of china for here. i thank you mr. president. mr. president, was guy, can i thank you for presiding over today's meeting model. my thanks also go to you as to euros marie decarlo. ambassador amico kinnen, special representative of the o. s. c. u chairperson in office and ambassador highlight chevy, chief monitor of the overseas special monitoring emission for their breathing. i also listened carefully to the remarks made by miss tatiana mountain dinner are s

the united nations is sick. that's a matter of fact is been he'd by the virus spread by the kremlin. will lead succumb to these virus? it is in the hands of the membership today, the grambling copy pasted ward my ward. the decree on georgia, 2000 and 8th ward by ward copy. paste it, copy, paste it, know crazy when he was there ever. the copy machining family works very well. who is the next among the members of the united nations? the question is open. i thank yeah, good bridges. i do say the belie as the president of the security council. i'm obliged to say this. i thank the representative of ukraine for his statements. linebarger the photo, the representative of gemini. thank you mister president. i stopped by thinking on the secretary general rosemary decala for her briefing. mister president, only 4 days after our last meeting. this council meets again to discuss the situation in ukraine on thursday. there was consensus in the security council that the minsk agreements, which discounts, so you and then i mis

and that when it wasn't an invasion, this was i as a, as agreed in the united nations security. got. so i have the resolution c, l 5. lastly, voted for that the, the resolutions which were all the security council voted for when to 3 the stages. and you, one has to remember that the beginning, it was the arab league who called on the united nations to take action on the 22nd of february, 2011. the, i'm back until 9 am. i'll put the said this was, it. regime has failed miserably. gadhafi must late meet on the 2nd presentation was immediately after the ominous sexual general of the extent the arab has officially requested the united nations security council to impose a no fly zone against any military action against libya. so it wasn't, it wasn't the west. i say it was the international community completely. and all members of the security council do not often one can say that about recent big i'm city, big boy. but on the other, on the other is desperately sad that there wasn't a united front r m, syria where you mentioned that you say that you wanted a war on syria more explicit

the united nations is sick. that's a matter of fact, it's been here by the virus spread by the kremlin will lead to come to these virus. it is in the hands of the membership. thank you, mr. president. criticism of russia was not limited to the west african nations express particular concern at the breach of the territorial integrity of ukraine. multilateralism lies on its death bed to night. it husband assaulted to day as it, as it has been by other powerful states in the recent past. but russia said it was precisely the failure of multilateralism that had led moscow to make its decision. specifically, the refusal of kiev, backed by washington to implement the cease fire agreement meant to permanently end hostilities in eastern ukraine and give the region autonomy the minister agreements keep new post or she listed here not only very quickly returned to militant rhetoric and continued shelling civilians but also did everything to sabotage and eventually destroy minsk agreements. keep the meeting what now for the

. slather you crying again, the distinguished that is the united kingdom ambassador to the united nations barbara would word up throwing the u. k. support really behind ukraine, on the people off ukraine that has been the u. k. position since the beginning of the invasion. and she was calling on putin to end this war. we will keep an eye out on the speeches at the united nations general assembly. and we will bring you any of the latest lines, but for now let's move away from that life picture and bring and she have return. see he's also joining us from the un headquarters in new york. so she has, i'm saying the, the no surprise there and, and what the british ambassador has to say on the situation and ukraine. a restatement south of the thumb support from, from the u. k. a for ukraine. i mean that this is, this is what we expect by this will be a restatement off positions, but also an opportunity for countries who haven't spoken yet on the crisis to make their voices heard. the last, this we have now is a $107.00 speakers are expected over the course of at least 3 days to make their make

the united nations is was very important in the korean war because in in theory, it was the united nations that waged war to fight to fight communism and and supports and support democracy. not the united states and by the people and for the people a familiar phrase and the idea of enslavement and and a system that makes people tools of the state. well, this is obviously important because here you are trading as a free person setting the markets deciding whether two of card one is worth three is worth one of card 48 and you free to to make your deck and i pray that they may be delivered from oppression. in other words. it's not the lead. it's not the people of the soviet union who are bad or evil it's the leaders. and again, this is the entire theme of containment if you understand the russian people and you understand the culture, you'll understand that this is a bad system. the people will will rebel if you just contain them. so this is all just in this one. you haven't even opened the box at this point the topics that i go through that i noticed on on the cards obviously korea other the

-- the united nations secretary-general. in accordance with rule 39 of the council provisional rules of procedure i invite rosemary and the secretary-general to participate in the meeting. the security council will begin its consideration of item two of the agenda. i wish to warmly welcome the secretary-general and give him the floor. >> thank you very much, mr. president. mr. president, excellencies, i want to reaffirm what i expressed this morning in the meeting at the general assembly. of course it wouldn't make any sense to bother you reading again the same text that i'm sure you are all aware of. in between meetings today, a number of events took place and with your permission, mr. president, i would like to ask ms. rosemary dicarlo to brief you on the events. simultaneously, today was full of rumors and indications that an offensive against ukraine was imminent. in the recent past, there were several situations with similar dedications, similar rumors. and i never believed in them, convinced that nothing serious would

the united nations is sick. that's a matter of fact. it's been here by the wire is spread by the kremlin. will lead to come to these wires. it is in the hands of the membership to day, the cramming copy, paste it. wore my ward the decree on georgia o. 2008 ward by ward copy based it copy face it no creativity whatsoever. the copy machine and family works very well. who is the next among the members of the united nations? the question is open. i thank yeah, good pitches. i to play the belie as the president of the security council. i'm obliged to say this. i thank the representative of ukraine for his statement. i now get the photo, the representative of germany. thank you mister president. i stopped by thinking and the secretary general rosemary decala for her briefing. people in don bos are celebrating russian recognition of their sovereignty. you can see them setting off fireworks and waving russian flags we heard from one song from local don. yes. residence who gave us their reaction to the events. ah no. with a c as of jewish the we

and then in the united nations security secretary general, excuse me. and tanya gutierrez, one of the devastating global consequences of a full scale invasion, really and seen in many years is what he said. but then again, also we need to keep in mind that it needs a resolution here and one that we don't have and very unlikely that we're going to see one. and what is russia saying? while russia has delivered a very contentious appearance here today with the russian ambassador vasily in a band zia, he called, or he talked about blatant genocide on the dawn breast region. something that the german chancellor will of short, a few days ago already dubbed as nonsense. and you also accuse secretary general good terrace, taking sides with ukraine. the west is standing united. we can see that right now of russia cannot be trusted as moral as the general take the u. s. ambassador to the united nations today linda thomas greenfield, talked of unprovoked violations of the international law. as oliver salad in washington dc. many thanks. oliver. jessica cooksey clo

is set tonight at the united nations? >> sure. they can tell the russian people whatever they want. i think what was missing from putin speech today of course that on what's being said right now, but it's preparing the russian people for hardship that might result from this decision. that is, crippling sanctions on russian -- it's not something that's just gonna be felt by the wealthy, but it could affect all russians. the economy moving forward. and there was nothing on the speech today that suggests that he is prepared for things to go badly. invasions do not always go as planned. whatever his ultimate war aims are here, we still don't know whether he plans to stop in these two provinces or whether he's going to create a territorial quarter to another breakaway region and multiple the, or whether he tends to overthrow the democratic regime in ukraine. all of these things are pretty unprecedented in the post world war ii era. i think, i'm not sure that here the russian people are prepared for the ultimate outcome here, w

so with all of the member states of the united nations are no vito's there. so that's going to be kind of a roll call of the entire world where it stands, where every single country around the world stance on this. so we'll be watching for how that goes. so let's talk or about these, these 3 attentions. as you're saying, china, china, india, and the united arab emirates. yeah. so, i mean, china, 1st of all, we've touched on that. china has been getting closer and closer to russia. the 2 countries kind of forming a closer relationship and trying to push back against what they see is american attempts to shore up. it's a gemini around the world and china often votes with russia on the un security council. the fact that they to abstain just being seen in west held up in the west is, is evidence that china really has concerns about what's happening. and if you watch china messaging in recent days, it has been kind of a little bit divided on the one hand. so signifying support for russia over is demand for security. guarantees from the west opposition to the expan

if ukraine does not survive, the united nations will not survive. have no illusions if ukraine does not have i, we cannot be surprised if democracy fails next. now we can save ukraine, save the united nations, save democracy, and defend the values we believe in richard, that's really a heartfelt play from the ukranian ambassador. i mean, do you expect we will see the international community stand by ukraine and against russia? invasion and aggression? well, i mean, we've already seen one vote taking place in the u. n. system of the un security council couple of days ago that has 15 members. the vote went 11 votes, criticizing russia, one vote in russia size, russia's own, and 3 extensions. so that was already assigned. russia is looking isolated. of course, this now opens up in this session of the general assembly 2 or 193 states. so it's going to be very interesting to see the degree of isolation that russia experience is there, particularly as it opens up beyond the sort of power centers of the security council to, to the entire world. so i think

and it's very complicated. fill the united nations are in a difficult position. of course, ideally, the general assembly would come out with a resolution. it has to be on anonymously. of course, a condemnation of the activities, the russian activities in ukraine. but of course, all countries need to be on the same page there. and also what the general assembly decides is not legally binding. it's rather recommendation very much in contrast to what the security council does that had a meeting on sunday. so if they came to a resolution that would be a different scenario. but of course, the other problem is that number one, russia is currently cheering the security council. they certainly can't dictate the agenda there, but they have vito rights. so it's very unlikely that there will be any substantial outcome other than putting the topic on the world stage of course. and then of course, also the structure of the united nations, which is still very much shaped by the post world war 2. or they have been reform plans, they have not been addressed. and therefore the u.

just after the collapse of the previous government, the united united nations called for support, got pledged for $1200000000.00. it's also notable to know that before the collapse of the government over 50 percent of honest on was in poverty. and so this is as much as systematic issue even bigger than the resource issue right now. the protest as are continuing to block a bridge connecting candidate to the us. despite an order from a judge in ontario to leave. the injunction is not in effect and gives police the power to and the ongoing demonstrations. truckers have been protesting against the coven 19 vaccine mandate. the stand off on the ambassador bridge has disrupted operations for several u. s. automakers. while julia televised to dress canadian prime minister just intruder acknowledged that every 1 may have coven 19th tea, but explains how the blockage is damaging the economy. the illegal blockades are hurting canadians, whether they're in ottawa, windsor, kuth, or emerson, their endangering jobs, the threats to our economy, and to public safety. the blockades are hurting small

adherence to these principles and compliance with the charter of the united stations -- nations constitutes the way to a peaceful solution to the crisis. we reiterate that the crisis in eastern ukraine could exacerbate the critical conditions. furthermore, there are obstacles to the delivery of humanitarian assistance to those in need. even before the recent tensions arised, particularly near they conflict lines in ukraine. it could worsen the humanitarian situation for a larger number in the. -- in need. and in this regard, we urge all parties not to obstruct the access to humanitarian aid or the movement of civilians in conflict areas in accordance with their obligations under international law. finally, mr. president, we reiterate the importance of de-escalation, constructive dialogue, and to continue efforts to reach peaceful solutions consistent with international law and the charter of the united nations. thank you. >> i thank the representative of the united arab emirates, and i now give the floor to the representative of norway. >> president, i think the secretary-general, and the u

see al jazeera, the united nations with united states is among a growing number of countries planning, financial sanctions, including asset freezes on russia's leadership, the coordinated restrictions aimed to force russia to the negotiating table. alex fisher has this report. it's another step to put pressure on the russian leader in alignment with the decision by our european allies. united states will join them in sanctioning president putin and foreign minister laugh wrath and members of the russian national security team. foot before ours, after president fight and said he still had further options with sanctions. vladimir putin with a came one of only a handful of world leaders in the we personally sanctioned by the u. s. this step sends a clear message about the, the strength of the opposition to the actions by president putin and the direction in his leadership of the russian military. yes, president talk with president zalinski for 40 minutes on friday. he promised to continue humanitarian, military and security support. but what isn't clear from the white house reading of th

the world more urgently needed a united nations that can deliver efficiently. madam president, kenya believes that there've been plenty of opportunities for the talks, the trilateral content group on ukraine and the direct negotiations between the united states and the russian federation to produce a satisfactory outcome. we urge all these parties to ensure that thee negotiations respect the security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. safe and innovative diplomacy may also allow for agreements between today's powers inspired by the helsinki accord which did deliver some stability to europe during the cold war. this time, however, such agreements needed to advance the principle of that interference to other parts of the world and particularly to africa. madam president, in closing it is critical that diplomacy and its acceptance of compromise of an inevitable outcome when the day. if there are future discussions to be held in the security council on thisn matter, let it be to announce a new era of cooperation. thank you. >> i think the representa

nations the ambassador is reading it to the united nations. both sides trying to make their case. but that is compelling and you wonder how much russian forces have a morale issue as they go through ukraine. >> sure. bret. but this is also part of the targeted sanctions strategy that others have been critiquing. prolong that type of suffering. if we're going to do sanctions, they need to be comprehensive and they need to be severe. and to spare the energy sector, which is the lifeline of putin and russia doesn't make a lot of the sense here. you have got to go after the energy sector. biden is concerned -- one of the reasons we are not doing this is out of domestic policy concerns of joe biden. he is worried that it will redowned to energy prices here to u.s. where inflation is already at 40 year high. he doesn't want to exacerbate that situation. if biden wants to tackle that then stop the war on fossil fiewltsd here in the u.s. open up the drilling on federal lands. we are you know, a large energy producer. exploit that tell europe if you do

in russia called the united nations security council. and with a strong allegation that ukraine is carrying out a genocide in the separatist areas, you asked on the other hand believing that the russian side uses the un as an instrument for a fake narrative, again, as a pretext for war. and so it is at this time looking very difficult of for diplomacy. of course, the u. s. is still following that path and believes that this is how to reach successes here. and there was oversight reporting of from outside the united nations in new york city. let's take a look now at the other stories in the headlines right now. hong kong is struggling to cope with its worst wave of covey. 19 infections. chinese prisons, using thing, has ordered authorities to get the situation under control. hong kong chief executive kerry lamb is appealing to residence, to stick to strict 0 cove. it measures powerful winds are battering much of germany at speeds of up to 150 kilometers an hour storm. elena has down trees, cost power outages and disrupted transportation l

this is in the chart of the united nations on view. you often warden and we as far got experience based on the foundation of international law, have a duty to get my support and defend this chart of the united nations together afterwards. perhaps it is the case form with that not germany has been particularly careful and reticent in the past about international involvement . the rules that we set ourselves as germany cannot be used to relinquish us from our responsibilities. if we find ourselves in a completely different world, our policy must keep up with us. along with our napoleon is a country with a parliamentary, approved army, and democratic scrutiny can and must allow itself. and we are doing that from to day when it comes to questions of peace and war to make decisions based on full responsibility to lancaster, weapons exports and military operations. we will continue to be reticent and careful. but when put in a tax ukraine, we must support ukraine, which are all apart from our major economic and humanitarian support for ukrai

say is all it does but there are 193 member countries of the united nations. and if one country invades or threatens to invade another, that is the so-called third rail of international law. and of diplomacy or lack of it, here at the united nations, alarm bells go off. we, earlier, heard the u.s. ambassador denounce what russia is doing bringing in so-called peacekeepers into the two regions in eastern ukraine. well, most of the countries here on the security council denounced what was done and condemned moscow. the russian ambassador said, look, there is not gonna be a b bloodbath in eastern ukraine. he called it a verbal assault in the security council, from the amount of countries that were denouncing moscow. china played it straight down the middle, as it always does. appealing and calling for restraint, no violence, and diplomacy. the united kingdom joined the u.s. in saying they will be revealing new sanctions on moscow. the ukrainian ambassador, when he took his mask off due to covid rules, says there is a virus that is coming from the kremlin and the

the not -- the united nations in roy is being blocked from the country. when i asked the military spokesperson about this, he said the military was not construct it and they were engaged with the international community. the u.n. in particular and the government they see as a terrorist, unless the united nations recognizes them. the united nations say they would not do at this stage. >> the world health organization says the vast amount of waste being generated a response to the pandemic is a threat to the environment and to human health. tens of thousands of used ppe, needles, and other medical waste being produced during covid-19. much of it is going into landfills. the who found much of the 1.5 billion medical items distributed by the u.n. in the first month of the pandemic, other known -- otherwise known as rubbish. the big contributors to waste and also as well an estimate of 3 billion single use masks were discarded worldwide everyday in the first year of the pandemic. dr. is from the pandemic -- is from the u.n.. >> we want to protect our patients
