the charter of the united nations, which you are now signing. is a solid structure upon which we can build for a better world. history will honor you for it. between the victory in europe and the final victory in japan? in this most destructive of all wars you have won a victory against war itself. if we had had this charter a few years ago. and above all the will to use it. millions now dead would be alive. if we should falter in the future in our will to use it. millions now living will surely die. well, there's a time for making plans. and there's a time for action. the time for action is here now. let us therefore each in his own nation and according to its own way. seek immediate approval of this charter and make it a living thing. by this charter you have moved toward the goal. for which that gallant leader in this second world struggle worked and fought and gave his life franklin d roosevelt. this new structure of peace is rising up on strong foundation. let us not fails or grasp this supreme chance. to establish a worldwide rule of reaso

the united nations is not perfect. the united nations is a product of the last century. the united nations, there should be reforms. that is a matter of fact. whether the united nations can be reformed is still an open question. even now i do not register any genuine desire from the permanent members of the united nations to launch reform. in the u.n. charter -- and the u.n. charter which was approved and guided by the wishes of three nations. the united states, the u.k. and the soviet union who did their best to protect their powers. nothing can be changed in the charter. so when it comes to the conflict as we all see now basically the u.n. and in particular the security council are immobilized because the interests of one of the members are at stake. missy: just to clarify your eye getting at the fact that russia as a permanent member of the security council has been able to exercise its veto to shut down would would be any sort of legally binding or notionally legally binding move to compel it to withdraw forces from ukraine or have a cease fire or something like that

to the united nations. only the second black women. susan -- was the first, you are the second. what do you want americans to remember about ambassador linda thomas-greenfield? >> is the same thing i tell people to remember about me in every position of ever held. that is that i care. and that my approaches has always been one of dealing with these issues with kindness and compassion. my rule is, people can just say at the end of my life, she was kind, that i feel like i've accomplished what i needed to accomplish in the world. >> i have one last question for you. i think it's something we need to clear up. what is the proper color for the -- in your gumbo? >> rue has to be very dark. >> clean it up. now rue has to be people need to. no >> rules to be very dark. there is such a thing as gumbo that is a little too white, and if your rue is not dark enough, you end up with white gumbel. for people who are not from louisiana, they don't always know, and they don't always care. sometimes on make the route that'

because simply, you cannot imagine and a united nations advocating and giving its blessing to an act, illegal occupation. this is what is her taken place on denominations. as for the position of these few countries, we have hurt them, but we have to dig deeper to know what made spain strangers position. it's black main pressure by these expansion respiration that i said even tried to compile some part of the spain. so the fact remains western far as if you can arise, it's an issue and that will not be changed by a position by spain or any of our country. because we live in a rules based international order that goes against illegal occupation of territories by force and shrines. the rights of people to self determination. and this is a, what is the case, and this is not as a how people have been fighting for and they will continue to fight for their rights. no matter how these all that country expresses preferences for an illegal our proposal that has no basis. what sir, do you think this could now escalates into complexity? irma acidity, the physician taken by spain and other governa

and that's why the legal patient, by morocco has never been recognized by the nations the united nations has never recognized the legal occupation of parts of lives out a republic which is a fool and fighting number of the african union. so indeed, unfortunately, these countries are just giving more ammunitions to the final state of morocco, to nottingham seriously, into the peace process, which the personal boy, mister franklin, the stuart trial, to revive after morocco breached as his fire in november, 2020. okay, a yasmin morocco's claim to western sar her to her is not recognized by the united nations. oh, the western sahara construct is 1st of all only and solely under the security council. now we have seen are those countries like the united states, france, spain, which is the former colonizer, and that actually recognized for the plan of autonomy which, which is under the moroccan sovereignty, which is, which claims that morocco to have the western sahara. and there it's a, it's sovereignty. so for me, i think that the problem is solved within it will be sort of a solved within, w

and the whole operation would be overseen by a come up from a comma center run by united nations. and now, how is a turkey managing to balance its relations with both ukraine and russia? shirley, this is a delicate balance to strike. want ok a doctor to know to position on very early on. and they always defended that. the only solution to end the war would be based on negotiations and turkey as a critical relations, both with ukraine and with russia in many different fields in tourism, in trade, in the military. and meanwhile, they propose a 1st peace talks in searcy in the middle of march, and obviously which was collapsed. and what's interesting is to get you to keep the communication channels with russia open tri channels open. meanwhile, selling military drones to ukraine and they manage so far to balance, to, to continue a balanced position. and now, what is it that target gets out of assuming a key role in these negotiations on blocking green exports out of ukraine. why actually there is a lot at stake and he wants to prove once again i do on government wants to prove once a

so we're supporting the united nations in this regard. but there's a region that doesn't want a political solution. how much hold on you get that in the senate while number hold on less and find out the additional stuff at us. and so it's important for the russian federation, for iran and other countries who have connections with the government to influence this government in disregard. because the only solution is a political solution. we're not talking about terroristic jersey. that was jamie, if we're going to reach an agreement to have a topic and we will be supporting the territorial integrity of syria. we could understand that. so we're looking at threats that are against the big resume and the territorial integrity of this country, as well as our own country. the p k, k and the y p g are not the same. unfortunately, these organizations are being supported primarily by the us. and this is the primary reason why we have opposed the nato membership of sweden and finland. there's no other reason for our opposition to that process. and

that's the united nations. we conducted interviews to basically put together the best diversity and array of young people from different parts of the world being affected in different waysy the crisis. a number of organizations, including greta thunberg, conveyed to us the desire to formulate, if possible, a single legal strategy in order to respond to a challenge that affects a nations. greta: i am very much shown in the media, and thefore it is extremely important that we al highlight the her plaiiffs. we need to get better of listening to everyone, and therefore there is also one other reason to why this petition is so powerful and so important. [litokne speaking marshallese] [waves crashing] the waves came, and then they removed the piece of land that used to be over here. so over here is what used to be our outside bathroom, and then it was knocked away. this was used to be a basketball court area for small kids, but it destroyed. all this area was impacted, and it was flooded. 60% of the community here on

the united nations. it does feel as if because russia is a permanent member at the end of the day, they are out of reach from the icc, kind of untouchable. and that this is a flaw in the u.n. charter. >> it is no doubt it is a flaw in the u.n. charter. we have an expert here. >> i know a lot of people believe that the you in has -- the united nations has basically been unworthy for decades. i have to tell you, watching the fecklessness of the united nations, it has come through in spades during this war. >> that certainly applies to the un security council. >> they do a few things well. >> humanitarian, may be. >> war and peace, not so much. >> security council, not so much. president zelenskyy, we remember, when he addressed the security council he was harsh. he said that this organization was designed, was founded to stop or prevent wars. >> was -- what president zelenskyy said, there was so much clarity he brought in his criticism of the united nations. i am sure there is a mechanism to get rid of a p

i hope as a place where understanding between nations was advanced by the united states. and the soviet union it was last june about a year ago that chairman casigan and i sat down in president robinson's living room. for two days of discussions our talks ranged over the whole globe. the year since then has been eventful and uncertain. like the age that we live in but hope and achievement. are certainly there to see and our relations with the soviet union offer an example. many feared that the war in vietnam would prevent any progress. many predictions were made to this effect. but despite the predictions and despite the difficulties. we have agreed upon a treaty outlawing armaments in outer space. we have negotiated a treaty banning the spread of nuclear weapons. we have achieved a civil air agreement. that permits soviet union planes to land in the united states and united states plans to land in the soviet union and we're also moving toward other agreements. i would like to conclude my brief remarks by expressing the hope that relations between our countries will devel

united nation can criticize so much every inception, particularly by the west, particularly by the united states and nato powers incidentally. so hopefully there would be some sort of consensus among you and member states as to how exactly these oil reserves and oil management would be administered because my fear, and i think a lot of people sphere would be that the same people that lead to the destruction of libya in 2011, those same governments would then be placed in charge of the oil reserves, which i think would be disastrous. and i think this has to be done in a way. if it's going to be done, it has to be done in a way that isn't disregard the idea of profits. you know that we shouldn't allow western oil companies to benefit from this that should be solely administered on the principles of staff and warlords in libya. the un human rights office is calling for an independent probe into the killing of at least 23 african migrants by moroccan security officials. incident took place last week when hundreds of people stormed at the border of an autonomy spanish city in northern africa.

i'll just hear as chris from salumi reports from the united nations, ukrainian president vladimir the landscape called russia a terrorist state, and demanded that the united nations expel it from the international body during an emergency meeting of the security council. in an emotional speech, he called for a moment of silence. after reciting the names of some of the civilians killed in recent days, including children and the elderly. i have a question for you, ladies and gentlemen, who have you does not agree that this is terrorism. if any other parts of the world, any organization acted just like russia who is killing ukrainians, if they kill peaceful people, that would definitely be recognized as terrorism. russia joined the other council members and standing for that moment of silence, but took no responsibility for the death, instead accusing ukraine of waging and information war in an attempt to get more weapons from the west. he said it was weapons, not a shopping mall that was targeted in the city of command ship. but listen, you will that when you, when you, unless you in re

so basically, we are there in the united nations, and the united nations is a product of three old gentlemen, among which were joseph stalin. so it's not perfect. and we still, in the 100th day of the war, we still have russia sitting in front of us, and we still pretend that we have to respect it. and the only reason we respect russian federation is because-- i do not respect, but they have to respect. ( laughter ) that's a very important correction. because they possess the nuclear arsenal, and they are really paranoid as russia may use nukes against them. >> trevor: so is your argument then that russia shouldn't be sitting as one of those permanent members of the u.n.? >> first of all, russia is not a permanent member if you ask me. russia occupied the seat of the soviet union back in 1991. the same way russia occupied georgia. the same way russia occupied moldava. the same way russia invaded syria. so russia occupies, occupies, occupies. and we are all complac anti-with that. we're very complac anti-to that until the night of the 23rd, and all of a sudden we were surprised it happened, w

the west is called on the united nations security council to have a look at this present. peyton said, look, we targeted an arms depot that is absolutely clear. there is video evidence to prove that the west, however, has agreed with the ukrainian version of this, which is that russia deliberately targeted at this mall. it says it has video evidence to prove that so both sides believing that they are right on this. but present putin reiterated that russia does not attack on target civilians. when you book a game, guzman schema russian troops do not target civilian infrastructure. there is no need to do that as we have every capability to track military targets and strike them using long range, high precision weapons. these comments they call come right on the heels of the g 7 summit. formerly the g 8, russia used to be a part of this group. talk to me about what the president had to say about russian west relations, where he clearly was pointing out the obvious say when he said that the relationship between the west, this is the g 7 and russia is not good at the moment. this of course

let's reservices i spoke with the head of the united nations in this regard . as to how we can take these negotiations to the, for the land, you cannot be the case that millions deprived of tons of ukrainian grain is stored when it's needed across the world. when it's all month united nations that you've seen, i've facing the biggest threat to starvation, locked in for decades, and many of these poor countries are, is combating with the consequences that are pandemic. if we do not offer solidarity here, powers like russia and china, will you exploit this for the guns? and this is why it is crucial funding gepford her from to convert him from the summit or in the next few days we send not just a message that the european union later and g 7 have joined ranks as never before. dusty dable could also that the democracies of the world have joined forces against the battle of odoms imperialism, but also in combating starvation in poverty, climate change, and elysium, and didn't have health problems. so lucas's way wanted denture diesel, anglo. i have invited india an
