israel's ambassador to the united nations says that any possibility of future peace talks will end if the palestinian president addresses the u.n. security council mahmoud abbas's to the later this month it will be a rare occasion because ambassadors not leaders are usually represented from u.n. headquarters in new york is our diplomatic editor james bays. with relations between the u.s. and the palestinians already at their lowest point for years the palestinian leader is taking the dramatic step of flying to the united nations this month it means a showdown with the americans and the israelis on the floor of the un security council every month the council meets to discuss the conflict normally ambassadors of israel and of palestine attend but in a deeply unusual move mahmoud abbas will himself be there he's angered by the trumpet ministrations decision to formally recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and to cut a large chunk of its funding to the u.n. agency that provides humanitarian aid to palestinians the last straw was president trumps attack on him last week at davos he said

many visionaries in the end of the second world war two create united nations united nations and what i believe we need is to learn we want to happen with the league of nations to make sure that the same will not be repeated at the present types we need to understand that the level of sweat we have the man from all of us a much stronger bet in the cohesion of also and in the unity building a true and strong multilateralism to address the challenges of the present times thank you very much of the. the u.n. secretary general i don't know what you thought about that mark associate professor at the institute for graduate studies it was a pretty depressing twenty five minutes i mean talking about the whole middle east is a mess the secretary general of the united nations saying that the whole middle east is a mess he's talking about relaunching the geneva process with what stephanie mistura yesterday saying i've been doing this job for four years it's one of the toughest jobs that an international diplomat can have i mean what's your takeaway from what he was saying might be depressing but

but i think you have new leadership in the united nations i think you have new leadership around the world this really looking to find paths of opportunity but until we have those conflicts resolved we have to have money in the world food program and then we have to have access so yes we were able to avert famines the four famines that we faced faced in the past couple of years and face right now we were able to avert the famine but the number of hungry people went up and we're still facing famine in several of these countries where yemen is a very desperate situation somalia with the drought and the complexities there and then you get of course a south sudan is nothing but warfare and then northeast nigeria which is ethnic tribal conflict based upon ices and al-qaeda. and then you bring in the drought in the lake chad basin it's a terrible situation and what exactly can be international community can do about that because from what i know they're trying to ministration is also intending to cut its funding of the peacekeeping operation so i assume that's not going to be easy to reali

contributions to the united nations have you done any preliminary asked cement so how they supposed pattern now spending may in fact be wild with program yeah the president's budget very well dramatically impacted us but if you know anything about the u.s. process of budgeting just the house and senate makes the final decision we feel very confident before that the processes that works its way through the president and the leadership in the senate in the house will come together with a budget that will be that i think will be good for the world food programme so we can continue to address around the world and then when you think about the united states' commitment to the world food program last year two thousand and seventeen was two point five billion dollars this year you know we're hopeful that we come out with at least two billion but i'm confident that the leadership in the united states will stay strong on international humanitarian aid. now in many of your public appearances you're. feeding the world's most vulnerable is a viable alternative to military spending you think it's a way

at the united nations a panel of experts oversees the regime of sank. it was imposed on north korea. they're familiar with the long reach of the camera she. got so he's a photo coward is one of those monitors he tells us how the trade embargo is undermined. i only see loopholes my question was where i closed the holes. which was so few compared to the number of loopholes loopholes exist in only china. but also all russia. taiwan south east asia they have also all proteins in europe one example of arms control busting launchers for north korean ballistic missiles are based on trucks manufactured in china key. portion was imported from china in two thousand and eleven and that's a side of only twenty four all six regal's have been called for by the united nations they have a clear. and we've had to think said if occasions which show that we can fit in the fall in full force the business. off road trucks for use in the logging industry are not covered by sanctions so was this a willfully misleading declaration they were used in china for military purposes

and the united nations security council now although fewer children were killed and wounded compared with the previous quarter attacks according to this report are becoming more lethal when they do happen they are killing more children why. it's hard to say i think that we're seeing that all parties to this conflict have complete disregard for the impact of the conflict on civilians and the numbers might be increasing or decreasing but we can never be absolutely sure what those numbers are because some of these areas are so hard to reach in any case any attack that impacts the syrian forces them to leave their homes is clearly in violation of the rules of war and something we call on parties to stop immediately another significant part of this report is increased reporting it says of the use and recruitment of children. to fight by not only the who things in on the ground you know rebel group but also by the the armed forces i mean surely measures could be taken to prevent what is an internationally or forces allied with an internationally recognized government from engaging in that

that the fighting against isis and other groups that the united nations recognizes as terrorists will continue one of the groups. that it has been able it is open to. do allow the aid to come in but it will fight off any advances by the government if it tries to enter the. welcome to the security council's decision regarding a ceasefire because of the burden on our families and he said this suffering must be lifted to the decision to stop the bloodshed caused by the regime in eastern guta as usual we didn't find any commitment by the syrian regime in its russian allies. northwest and go to southern wist and almost every front and go to has been stalled by the regime on sunday in order to achieve some advance but they haven't succeeded. so fighting words there. despite them all coming to ceasefire a cease fire that has yet to be implemented when and how is that going to happen. that is the big question on everybody's mind we've heard a lot of reaction since the united nations security council passed that resolution last night unanimously heard from the syrian government and its allies

against isis and other groups that the united nations calls terrorists do you think or do you foresee peace in east and with us in hours or days ahead actually we don't have high hopes from the syrians for the concert was a douche and this is the best this is not the first concert as a new show in which cool for immediate aid inside the room which calls for media in different places and in studio experiences from the via ceasefire in syria don't give us high expectation it's for fish and when this fishing what's what they involve there is a mission to save the ceasefire will stop as soon as possible one is this possible we don't know we don't we don't know when this will start and and then here this is a big number of population and it won't be a solution that removing them one or two convoys and one be the solution that we evacuated one thousand or two thousand of them to be. set it up a little this is a big community this is much bigger than many cities around the ward and then this needed solution on the lake which was considered a long term of course for those people to be protect
