states excuse me the united nations to achieve a cease fire and they are. long term solution for the blockade of gaza strip. and this is supposed to be an agreement between israel on the one hand and the hamas militant was a gaza strip on the other and the now we have this very serious attack and so the question arises why did israel do it and i think in the past one can think of several explanations why the gauge inspire the thing one would be to give hamas a bloody nose on the eve of such an agreement just to you know act. towards the israeli government's own constituents so the palestinians that any such agreement will take place on israel's terms and so on the second explanation would be that israel is seeking to. improve the terms of any such agreement because it has not yet been concluded and a theory is that there are forces within the israeli government its fury establishment who are seeking to scuttle the process of sorts of agreements through a new large still large scale conflict i tend to believe i tend to lean more towards the first explanation

president, the united nations is deeply concerned about this escalation of tensions, which is taking place in the broader context of the conflict of ukraine and annexation of crimea. in our last briefing to the council, we urged all parties to avoid any unilateral steps that could deepen the divide or depart from the spirit and letter of the minsk agreement. tothat context, i wish reiterate that the u.n. fully supports the lead role of the normandy four, trilateral conflict group, and other actors to find a peaceful settlement. ourso wish to reiterate call for renewed and constructive action by all concerned to overcome the apparent impasse in diplomatic negotiations. the u.n. underlines the need to fully respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine within its internationally recognized borders in accordance with relevant general assembly and security council resolutions. regrettably, yesterday's causent only threatens to the situation in and around ukraine to deteriorate further. we strongly urge both the russian federation and ukraine to refrain from any ratcheting

well the united nations security council has been meeting in an emergency session over this issue and western countries have condemned russia's actions he was a bastard nikki haley accused russia of a quote outrageous violation of ukrainian sovereignty and stoking conflict an already deadly war in response russia claims that its sovereignty was violated by kids and it's accused ukrainian president petro poroshenko of provoking the incident to bolster his support in upcoming elections in his country now in brussels nato secretary-general. called for ukrainian ships and crew to be released and warned moscow that its actions will have consequences. are for more that now i'm joined by max milling coaching from our political studio who's marks a million what is germany's position on what has happened in just the last twenty four hours between russia and ukraine well there's deep concern here in berlin of course for the ongoing situation and germany has been already issuing a statement amongst other european nations like the u.k. and france saying is it is standing in support of ukraine the

zero at the united nations. so james are all the diplomats pushing us forward to a situation that they can live with as opposed to dealing with the reality of what happened. well i think the only way you're going to get that international inquiry which so many are now calling for is if turkey asked for it if turkey goes through its judicial process and then meets a dead end and doesn't get any further then i think turkey could quite possibly make a request to the u.n. secretary general and that request could be supported by a body of the united nations say the general assembly or the human rights council and then you would get a u.n. investigation but that some way off so in terms of the diplomacy of the actual case that's where we are in terms of the wider diplomacy i think something interesting is going on with regard to saudi arabia and the way saudi arabia is viewed it has always been seen as one of the most powerful countries that the united nations because of its regional strategic importance and its econo

change amount on my call he mentioned the importance of supporting international bodies such as the united nations he also touched on one of the keys of this commemoration and that is that the accident is on reconciliation is not on glory or national trying to. that is why we have seen emmanuel marcos route this whole ceremony very close with the german chancellor angela merkel they walk together up the shores and use a towards the arc de triomphe and then were seated together. at the end and they have a very good relationship politically they are the axis of europe today we know this but personally as well there is clearly a friendship there and that's perhaps particularly poignant today for mrs merkel because she's announced she is moving away from the front line of european politics relatively soon. as rights very important for both of those leaders who have fought so hard and continue to fight so hard for the future of europe to be seen together you know they representing su nations that were once the bitterest of enemies the tour each other apology of the first world war the second wo

nations of the united nations, they are all defined by a nationstate by their borders. their borders to find them. as a consequence, all of those 193 nations work to control their borders. i don't think it is radical for the president of the united states to want to protect our borders. there are a lot of folks who believe in open borders. if you embrace that thinking, that undermines the notion that there is a nationstate defined by concrete mortars -- borders, governed by the rule of law. thinks that caller that is a radical notion, he has a funny definition of radical, radicalism. i actually think what is radical is the notion that we can have voters without borders or a nation without borders, opening ourselves up to all of the criminality and disorder of a country that is lackadaisical about its borders and the rule of law. we are the most diverse democracy in all of human history. we have had open arms for those who want to find opportunity here. but since the existence of our nation, we have controlled the borders and we had determined and canfact, comes in pursu

week is both absolute and entrenched all this walk to the united nations on poverty and human rights certainly i've heard from a lot of people who are living pretty grim lives. a lot of misery in the country i think a lot of the statistics are pretty discouraging in terms of rough sleeping in terms of child poverty in terms of at least talk about suicide and so on so there's obviously a lot of problems that. the united nations will have left with an impression of a place which is proud almost nothing more than hope even if it has a profound sense of injustice but even if the united nations is listening it's not at all clear what the politicians just one hundred kilometers away in london have any idea about life here. thank you very much it looks to be advantage where the plates after the first leg of the copilot better dora's final score to weigh goals against fair city rivals boca juniors as the game finished in a draw was the first time the two went to cyrus teams that have met in the final of south america's biggest club competition booka twice took the lead to add their bump in t

in december 2016, we drew up proceedings under the united nations convention and we instituted by ukraine against the russian federation with regards to, a dispute concerning coastal state rights here. the russian federation argues that the sea is not subject to the tribunal. that united nations is deeply concerned about the escalation of tension that is taking place in the broader conflict in the eastern ukraine and the annexation of korea. in our last briefing to the council, we urged all parties to -- crimea. in our last briefing to the cats, worse all parties! in our -- in our last briefing we urged all participants to find a peaceful settlement. i also wish to reiterate our calls for new and constructive action by all concerned to overcome with the diplomatic negotiations. we underlined the need to fully respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine within internationally recognized borders in accordance with the relevant general assembly and security council resolutions. regrettably, the incident yesterday only threatens to cause the situation in and around ukraine to
