the u.n. unfortunately right now other than limiting itself to the people it's talking to also is not moving with. good political skills. i think right now there are two possible approaches to feast one is going back to the u.n. to the security council specifically to produce a new resolution that would hopefully have unanimity within the council and would start fresh with a new approach given and former resolution to the one sixth is now pretty much obsolete. failing a consensus at the security council and i think it's very hard to achieve that consensus the yemeni parties need to forget about the region forget about the united nations and forge peace among one another for that to happen you need a national leader of stature is strong figure who could inspire the yemeni people inspire all the yemeni factions including the who he is to bring them together and say let's camera out an agreement if the yemenis agree with one another no power outside can destroy that no power outside can continue

secretary general kofi annan former u.n. secretary general kofi annan they say they're going to start to meet and work toward implementing those recommendations from the kofi annan commission it's going to be interesting to see how and if the myanmar government takes those recommendations how quickly will come out but right now next week we're seeing a lot of movement toward the repatriation but it will be very interesting to see just how quickly it actually happens i mean are saying they're ready to start receiving on tuesday. it venezuela or a former police officer who'd been on the run for the past six months six months has been killed in a special operation was compared to his and his compass it stole a police helicopter in june last year and threw four grenades at government buildings and said he was part of an uprising against president nicolas maduro is administration is about has this report. these are the last images of all kind of barriers after the shootout with venezuela special forces and we told them that we wa

requested u.n. security council meeting on recent protests in iran looks set to stop despite russia's attempt to stop it. this is live from london also coming up in the program. they say he's. a moron and. the author of a tell all book about donald trump insists his work is fact is that it stalls despite a bed by the president to block it. first the phone call now the two sides will be face to face north korea agrees to hold talks with the south plus. i'm wayne hay in northern thailand home to many ethnic minority groups many people living in these hills who lived generations but still can't officially call thailand home. so that the u.n. security council is jus to hold a special session to discuss recent protests in iran this with the united states accusing tehran of stifling the voices of its people iranian leaders say larger pro-government rallies suggest other was otherwise this is the scene at the security council ahead of that meeting the situation is that it's an open meeting on the protests

bullying at the u.n. but this is. the poster's example. and indeed at the end of the discussion members got up perhaps more divided than when they had. mike hanna al-jazeera united nations. say rex tillerson has also been talking about iran specifically the nuclear deal he says the trumpet ministration is looking for ways to keep the u.s. in the agreement congress is working on new legislation that could bolster in full support measures. i want to see just. for this one of the other one is not made a final decision was. by the twelfth but if we just call. the show for the fun. of the first is. to say is a political party with the truman national security project in the form of a bomber administration she says any legislation is a political move to shield trump from having to deal with iran agreement a tool and the reason why donald trump hates it is because when he ran for president you know he called it quote unquote the worst steal our ever but what we've seen is that really he's not able to come up with a better deal he's certainly not

along with other new arrivals rebecca continues her journey in a u.n. truck the u.n. says more than ten thousand people have arrived here in the last month fleeing a spike in the violence and. everyone we spoke to says they don't know which armed groups are attacking them why they say the fighters carry guns wear uniforms and speak languages from the congo and neighboring rwanda since it's not safe at home this refugee transit camp the better option. and covered with dust the new arrivals first have to line up here and get their feet sprayed this infected and everyone is made to come over here and wash their hands as well. after the journey must be tiresome the made to go through this but the camp managers say it's necessary that everyone has to queue up here for a medical check in that sense at the end. rebecca's baby twins kelvin and carol they are identified as severely malnourished. she says she hasn't been able to harvest her crops for weeks and so hasn't produced enough breast milk u.n. officials say these kinds of problems a typical among those arriving at the

secretary general kofi annan former u.n. secretary general kofi annan they say they're going to start to meet and work toward implementing those recommendations from the kofi annan commission it's going to be interesting to see how and if the myanmar government takes those recommendations how quickly will come out but right now next week we're seeing a lot of movement toward the repatriation but it will be very interesting to see just how quickly it actually happens i mean our saying they're ready to start receiving on tuesday. the french president has called on the u.k. to do more about refugees and migrants who are trying to make it to britain via kalai meeting with refugees and migrants emanuel macross said he would discuss the issue with the british prime minister to resign me on thursday let's reports from cali. emmanuel mccall began the day meeting refugees at a state shelter in northern france exactly all of us who are going to see them here in some regions of the who are going to them later in the port of cali the fr

facing what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis two thousand and eighteen will bring even more challenges at least twenty one million people are said to be suffering neighboring countries are under pressure to help salvage of aid has this report the latest in our series looking ahead to the year's big stories. good imagination and the skeleton of a motorbike is all these children have to live in one day the one of yemen's most impoverished regions import dependent and cash starved countries been under a saudi led blockade since two thousand and fifteen years of not sure what the new year will bring all his family has is a hot cobbled together with strong board. nothing is getting better everything is deteriorating back in the days we used to feed our kids now i can't provide them with anything all i want is rice milk the basics just food for my kids. the biggest challenge for two thousand and eighteen will be to provide aid to the twenty one million guarantees in need of urgent assistance

ambassador to the u.n. resigned from an advisory panel set up by the government after accusing it of trying to whitewash the crisis and in his resignation letter richardson accused members of being a cheerleading squad for the government richardson was then accused by the government of having his own agenda his criticisms raise further doubts about a deal to repatriate nearly seven hundred thousand rohinton refugees stuck in bangladesh scott heiler has more from yangon. if you listen to government leaders in myanmar this week was supposed to see a trickle of britain's refugees returning to these new repatriation centers in rakhine state they said from tuesday the centers were open and ready to receive but the other country in this equation bangladesh said incomplete paperwork for the refugees is causing a delay no word on just how long some human rights groups think it's much more than paperwork the fundamental problem is that all the operations and set up these plans have been used these negotiations have

controlled by the u.n. and overseen by the u.n. and the u.n. security council the u.n. special envoy to syria he will. as here as an observer seeing what was happening seeing the discussions i'm aware there were intense discussions in the room today and you're proving it. this is normal in a democratic environment so we don't really normally we now have the text we have the theory we have the documents that have been signed by everyone what when means to be seen is whether they'll be put into practice you know whether they'll be enforced and what will come of this well u.n. special envoy for syria stuff on the restorer says the sochi meeting office a unique possibility for political rivals to join in crafting a new constitution. we never had to be going into it but seizure actually getting involved in do discussion or you will get to shoot because it would not give it me agreeing on the possibility of creating a call to show commission which in that would be a good un to do it but i think we have reached that point. and staying with syria where one person has died and t

representative to the u.n. about the jets infiltrating cutty airspace the situation here is extremely fragile to say the least what's your message or what has your message been through the people that you've been meeting and the emirates and here in order to find a solution to this crisis. yes it's true that prior to my visits to qatar i visited united arab emirates and kuwait as well and of course i used my meetings with leaders of those countries including here to discuss the regional situation which is sensitive and i think the talks i had helped me to get a much better picture about the situation right now and i'm going to discuss it with the secretary general and when you get it right now to answer your question about the message message is to stay calm. void any. provocations and of course to to resort to dialogue plus i also believe that the region has the capacity. to sort out these these people. and they do national community is worried but also believes that there will be a solution that will be a neg

decision to slash aid to the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees col schembri is the middle east regional media adviser for the norwegian refugee council he joins us via skype from jordan good to have you with us so first of all what will this funding cut mean do you think in practical terms for the very many palestinian refugees and internally displaced people. there's a massive car that is being withheld at least for now and it is definitely going to have the west dating impact on millions of putting in refugees both in the west bank and gaza by going to jerusalem and then let alone jordan and syria to be out there are millions of them who for whom only one is the only life light they depend on the law for their food they do their children half a million children depend on them on the law for their education so there is definitely going to be a massive impact that we have yet to see holding on front of us on the ground and that's why we have erica the u.s. administration could have very pleased that mission and for

in forcing u.n. security council mandate. sanctions and take them very seriously i mean there are cases of. prosecutions involving iran and. countries that have un security council imposed. sanctions so until countries are prepared to take their their concerns the unity unity council and get that body to back them. it is moral indignation rather than practical politics when you talk about this argument you know if we're not selling arms and doing it responsibly then someone else will perhaps less so who controls the arms market particularly that you talk about the small arms market in the damage that small arms do to people worldwide is the collusion between the major powers about who sells what and and can that the arms trade truly ever be controlled and can't be controlled there's no collusion no you can't it's very very difficult to track you know what company and or china or pakistan or sri lanka or russia and who they're selling right rifles to it's extremely difficult to do that you've got to remember that these countri

the u.n. security council has wrapped up a special session on the recent protests in iran with the u.s. accusing stifling the voices of its people but other members objected to the meeting insisting that the council was not the place to discuss the country's internal affairs mike hanna reports now from the united nations. there was animated debate in the council chamber before the discussions began to members taken aback by the lack of notice from the u.s. in calling for this public debate the u.s. ambassador adamant that was essential iran be called to account if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry we will finally answer it the iranian regime is now on notice the world will be watching what you do russia had vehemently opposed what it saw as an unacceptable intervention in iran's internal affairs but also argued that the us had another motive in pushing for this meeting used to put up the real reason for convening today is not to protect h

with the u.n. security council resolution 2254. as of today, coalition efforts are 98% of the territory previously controlled by isis. with over 7.5 million people free from isis domination in iraq and in syria. while russia may deem and announce that the fight in isis in syria is over, the u.s. and our coalition partners do not regard this as a finished effort. the u.s. is committed to the total and enduring defeat of isis and al qaeda and other terrorist groups in syria and the region ensuring they cannot regenerate and return. thanks to the generosity of the kick and the american people, the u.s. has provided nearly $7.5 billion in humanitarian assistance since the start of the syrian crisis, about 1.5 billion over the last year. this critical aid assists at least 4 million syrians in need every month inside that country. in eastern syria with support from our colleagues and the department of defense, the state department and usaid lead recovery efforts and designed to help consolidate our milit

ambassador to the u.n. had revealed from plans to stop funding a u.n. agency giving aid to palestinian refugees shortly after the u.s. leader himself suggested cutting donations to the palace. administration in a tweet he claims that despite giving them hundreds of millions of dollars a year they show no appreciation or respect to the u.s. from porto suggested cutting aid because according to him the palestinians are not willing to talk peace with israel but i'm zeebrugge is an editor of the palestine chronicle believes all this is nothing short of bullying. i don't think it is i think it is part of the policy that has been followed by the trump administration for months now and it's a policy that is called to meet its sort very well with the israeli government the tweet was also joined by a statement made by either the u.s. ambassador to the united nations that she says forthright that we will not be giving money to on the u.n. and refugee agency that is dedicated to helping millions of palestinian refugees in palestine and it comes across the middle e

the u.n. security council is due to hold a special session to discuss recent protests in iran the u.s. is accusing terrine of stifling the voices of its people let's go straight to my cairo correspondent who joins us live now from the united nations in new york mike nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has called for this meeting does she have much support from other council members well that's going to become clear when the meeting actually gets underway if indeed it does within the next half hour there will be a closed door meeting among security council members it would appear to be a last gasp effort by russia to persuade to the u.s. not to bring this motion to the security council floor in public however if it does go ahead there will then likely be an objection from russia made publicly and a demand that a procedural vote be held now what that means is that the u.s. ambassador will need at least nine of the fifteen members to agree to discuss the issue of iran in public

the u.n. is investigating last month's attack in the democratic republic of congo that killed fifteen peacekeepers u.n. suspects the allied democratic forces that's a ugandan armed group was behind the time. the u.s. president has gone on twitter tirade calling the offer of a book have all the criticizing his first year in office a total loser but fire and fury is proving so popular booksellers are struggling to keep up with the demand. for the latest report on some of the biggest stories of the year we take you to a refugee camp in bangladesh it's now home to hundreds of thousands of flood violence and. the u.n. accuses me and mars government of textbook ethnic cleansing which it denies charles reports on what the refugees face this year. with the three children across the border from the. end of december they join the more than six hundred fifty thousand refugees who fled the military crackdown on the region in rakhine state in which to me. she says her husband was killed as they tried to fl

and i currently live here in the united states now the u.n. secretary general is making the case that migration is a positive a global phenomenon and when you listen to his words you have to i think contrast it with some of the words from president trump and the trump administration because it seems to be the complete opposite what the u.n. is doing is building to the end of the year when they're hoping to get a new global deal a global compact on migration which they want to sign in morocco i can tell you that already the u.s. has said it's pulling out of this process doesn't want to be involved doesn't want to sign the compact doesn't want to be involved in the negotiations but i think the problem for the u.n. is that there are quite a few other countries that consider this also to be a very difficult issue they may privately agree with the secretary general and his views about the economic effects of migration but world leaders know that this politically and domestically is a very toxic issue in california workers are cleaning up millions o

chief and tony harris said earlier this year that more needs to be done by the u.n. security council to carry out that investigation into what is happening in syria but of course that vetoed by russia eleven times over this investigation means that the u.n. security council has in many ways had its hands tied and the hope is clear that perhaps what will happen in this group will help put more pressure on the security council and russia to try and do more to make sure that that passes broken. and i should nations security council has been meeting to discuss the chemical weapons situation in syria speak to christmas so they were here with the u.n. in russia cold this meeting of the security council so why is that well it was a very last minute decision to hold this meeting called by russia an open meeting it seems to be in direct response to the accusations coming from the united states holding russia accountable for recent chemical weapons attacks united states in accusing russia of being responsible for these attacks is referring to those eleven vetoes of resolutions

the u.n. says about five thousand people have fled the a three in region in northern syria since tookie began its offensive against kurdish fighters five days ago activists say at least twenty three civilians have been killed. let's get more from now on that breaking story we are joined by a journalist and he's joining us on the phone from jalalabad where the attack is taking place thank you for your time i believe that you are not fall from the save the children office in jalalabad what are you hearing where you are. incident in the. time. before i remember. the. public health. people. from. going on the gunfire. and what can you tell us about the area of gelato bob that this is all taking place and. like her. third. baby. so i guess. they've been. trying to create. something to do the. baby and the dead body. or mr bobby thank you very much for your time on the set journalist hawaiian barber joining us on the phone from jalalabad where that ongoing attack is taking place at the office of the

at this stage you have if you just u.n. secretary general the. food the u.n. indorse so she were that actually the syrian government should have a public commitment to resume to five four which is the basis of all this u.n. process it was adopted back in two thousand and fifteen and still there is no public commitment to that. also another condition of the years coalition of violence on the ground we are hearing that there is a ceasefire agreement on eastern that was brokered from between the opposition and the russian delegation here that should take that should come in place with it . but however there are some skeptics within the opposition is that we've had such deals in the past and most of the time the russians haven't come through so a very difficult situation i think if you go back but to fund a mystery i said at the beginning of talks that they were critical now that you see all that's happened over the past two days you understand how critical there or. there with the latest from those talks in vienna how to thank you. turkey's president says the ope

and saudi arabia other key donors for that u.n. agency and so europeans take that financial crisis the u.n. agency now finds itself in very seriously and that's one of the reasons why frederica mimo greeny the chief foreign policy chief of the e.u. has called for this extraordinary session now will the e.u. be able to fill the gap entirely that has been created by the u.s. the answer clearly is no the. gold he does not have the money but it's also not willing to do that are they are they hoping to bridge that gap at least for the medium term that is very likely so it's i think the likely scenario is that we will see money that has been earmarked already for the organizations will just be paid earlier and then one hopes to find a political solution to this financial crisis how have international donors been reacting to the fact that washington has decided to withhold aid for the e.u. the two states the solution for. palestine is key so they see jerusalem as the capital for both a palestinian state and for east rail and in order to a

a new u.n. report blames the regional rivalry between saudi arabia and iran while singing the war and yemen. the data stack from the annual consumer electronics show we have a report from las vegas. u.s. president has extended the land nuclear deal but said this is the last chance he has warned america's european allies that he'll withdraw from the two thousand and fifteen agreement if its demands to change it or not met alan fisher has latest from washington. europe's diplomats met in brussels to urge the u.s. . to continue with the iran nuclear deal seeing the believe it improved global security know donald trump has agreed but says he won't do it again in a statement issued from the white house he called on his european allies to negotiate a supplemental deal in the next one hundred twenty days which would place a fresh restrictions on iran saying today i am waving the application of certain nuclear sanctions but only in order to secure our european allies agreement to fix the terrible flaws

the u.n. h.q. in new york like now. yes indeed we heard from the iranian ambassador a long list of events within the united states itself which should to warrant the intervention of the security council should the current situation be accepted something that he is adamant is an interference in the internal affairs of a member state making very clear too that this isn't restricted to the united states that in countries like france and in britain itself there has been attempts to stifle protest movements which you said you treat security council was going to be uniform in its dealings it would also cast a light on as it is doing at this meeting called by the united states he also attacked the united states for what he called bullying the united nations saying that deep in this is given this record even this is a proposal received sample and mentioned as well what heeling views as the united states the long history of interventions in the internal of iran a continual pattern of disruption as he put it in the course of the

she used the platform of the u.n. to amplify the message of president trump, who's been tweeting support for the iranian demonstrators. >> the united states stands with those in oriental who seek freedom for themselves, prosperity for their families and dignify -- dignity for their nation. we will not be quiet. [chanting] >> this unusually robust stance on human rights by the trump station coincides withs -- with the policy to see -- what it sees as iran's maligned influence. he repeated protests that. protests were dereked from bae aboard, which miss haley denied. >> this is a long history of bullying at the u.n. but this is a preposttrowls example. the interference of a nation, in this case, the united states with the utmost respect of the protesters and with every attempt to deal with peacefully despite violent infiltrators and direct encouragement by foreign influences including by the president of the united states. >> other urged teheran to allow free and peaceful nonadministrations but some suggested this was a

well it would make a difference because actually that referral from the u.n. security council is the only way you can get a non ratifying state like burma to the i.c.c. we have been calling for this all along we've demanding that there be international criminal justice in this case because it's quite clear that both the myanmar military and the civilian government are more inclined to cover things up than actually prosecute individuals who are responsible for these atrocities but where we think that the security council shouldn't just stop there where we've been calling for a global embargo on arms to the burmese military and we're also calling for targeted sanctions to be put on specific individuals who are determined to have played a leading role in the atrocities and the crimes against humanity against the rohingya i think that you know people don't have to wait for the u.n. security council on those kind of targeted sanctions the e.u. should be taking them up the united states should do more and other countries should join that movement and putting pressur

united nations peacekeeping troops left haiti two months ago the u.n. mission is now fully focused on improving the justice system. we met the un representative in port au prince who says the task ahead is an enormous challenge we have started to try. already to work in local. tribunals of premier installs and help them with the people who've been in prolonged pretrial detention for the longest period of time to actually appear before a judge. and it's not just what's happening in the prisons but also the conduct of security forces. a police operation last month in the grand ravine area of port au prince left at least nine people dead some inside a school the victims included a professor and an armed security guard among others human rights groups fear an increase in abuses and they need to confront impunity they need to hold people to account even high level high ranking people so that there isn't an abuse of the law by overcrowded prisons allegations of police abuse as well as massive corruption are some of the biggest challenges for the next few year

how we can get a stronger util lucian from the u.n. as we are how we can provide proof protection you know so this is what we need to collectively at bill gates for this if you continuously and i think you know it is important that. we don't protection here safety security and protection would doubt that there is no way to return and you know really get me to bin guy in prison for more than five b.n. so how come how they will gold will go good but webb they have two possible three two two four check winds even at present and we don't you know i'm sorry when she wants to give up but this is the situation there so we need to know the situation we need to see what's happened to them so this is what intuition i'm certain is already in iran have you to do right it's just that we're running out of time and i just want to pick up on something you mentioned there about the ring into that have been living for decades already in bangladesh and i wanted to ask matthew when i was in cox's bazaar i spoke to many were going to refugees that had been

well i think the u.n. resolution you mentioned and the willingness of governments to actually enforce it could help during this last ten to fifteen years a number of governments around the world the government of pakistan for example the government of china the government of egypt and others have spoken out very strongly against the activities international n.g.o.s and portrayed them as enemies of the country enemies of the people so i think that change in a number of countries to see n.g.o.s as the enemy is part of the overall climate that these some of these attacks flourish in so i think working with those governments to reclaim that neutral space that aden in jail agencies have around the world is very important and i hope the u.n. resolution in the work of those who supported the successful model how much of a threat to groups like yours face from non-state actors versus how much for threat they face from state actors these days. so i think you are you're asking an important question there and it's in
