which is on the agenda of the security council then the security council must try to take steps to stop this crisis the fighting us quickly as possible unfortunately our western colleagues west of members of the security council a bit into decided to let it go to let the military scenario play out so in the context of the fighting and bloodshed in eastern ukraine to start discussing like human rights report. which is not appropriate of of the security council to do. in our view is wrong. but anyway today in consultations as a way of a discussion with. members of the security council so i wouldn't rule out of quite soon we'll have a meeting of the security council on ukraine but of course it will not cover just this report but been dramatic situation there unfortunately have no illusions about the ability of the security council to act because the russian delegation tried a number of times with pride by trying to deliver a short statement calling on the end of violence in support of the geneva communique of april seventeenth and the border in support of always the old map would ride in t

called on security council to impose an arms embargo. our diplomatic editor james bays reports. >> a truck bombing in hamas before down, in a conflict where the international community stopped counting the death toll long ago. the same moment from a different angle, an explosion that took hundreds of lives. some in the international community lost interest in power suing peace talks -- pursuing peace talks. in a frank speech he gave his reaction to the indifference of many counties, including members of the security council. i'm here to express my anger and disappointment at the cold calculation that seems to be taking hold. except to arm the parties, and watch the rage. in homs province, air strikes by asaad's forces. ban ki-moon condemned attacks like these, sometimes dropping barrels of explosives on civilian areas, as well as bombings by the opposition, and made this call. >> i urge the security council to impose an arms embargo. if divisions in the council continues to prevent a step, i urge country to do so individually. >>> the se

i sincerely hope the security council will adopt this resolution as soon as possible. >> the security council passed a resolution saying humanitarian aid was delivered -- should be delivered, and it was completely ignored. what difference can this make to the people of syria? >> it is very frustrating that the security council has not been able to adopt this very important decision. when it comes to humanitarian assistance, the security council should be more united. millions now accommodated as refugees, almost 3 million people, half the population. 9.5 million people have been affected either by government operations or opposition. we are determined to push for humanitarian assistance. >> does the suffering in syria keep you awake at night? >> it is sad. i am really sorry to see all these refugees and people and particularly children. when i met many young children in refugee camps, i was wonde ring what their future will be. and what will they be thinking about us, our generation? why they have to suffer this kind of a tragedy. not because of -- it really night.e awake every >> sec

in iraq, and members of the security council. expressed their unanimous support to the government and people of iraq. and their fight against terrorism. they expressed that all actions should be within the frame work and comply with the international humanitarian law, and human rights standards. regardless of share motivation. they also expressed the importance of dialog, and particular opportunity for that will be provided because of the formation of the new parliament and government in iraq. >> he wouldn't respond to me on how he his country, russia, would react. if any other country got involved in the situation in iraq. he said he wouldn't answer theoretical questions. but i think it is clear, quickly let me run through those for you. the iranians have had a presence in iraq, since 2003, since the fall of pseudodam hussein, often the covert present, but we know there are also you rainian forces and they have been going in through iraq, that could force the expedition of the revolutionary guards. can u.s. had 170,000 troops th

security council. i think historically that world and its reliance on just war theory actually is incorrect. the effort and this was really the work of woodrow wilson and establishing the league of nations the idea that this world this criminalization of war hearkens back and builds on the just war tradition that ran from cicero all the way through the great medial thinkers and actually if you go back and look at the just war tradition in just war theory which they wrapped up in a catholic legal theory in the church. the just war theory actually is much more nuanced and talks about lots of things we talk about today like humanitarian intervention, preventive and preemptive war and place to go well beyond the simple idea that any use of force other than self-defense is illegal. i also think it's a too shall make, so just as a matter as countries have not followed this idea just war or criminalized self-defense historically and i think they are doing it today and at the u.n. charter itself institutionall

of course, one of the permanent members of the security council. every subject the security council looks like there is a country that tends to take the lead. for iraq the u.s. is the pen holder. no news for a security double meeting in iraq. it's possible that there could be one before the end of the week. possibly some sort of statement, but again it doesn't look like there will be much action. current action at the security council the russians, and the situation is very disconcerting. >> james, i know you'll keep us updated on those diplomatic figures. thank you very much. there is much more to come. including south korea's raid of religious compound in search for a billionaire owner. >>> india experiences it's highest temperatures in 62 years. an >> first, to pakistan where it's reported that an u.s. drone has fired three missiles. two people have been robertedly killed, but so far there is no confirmation of who died. what more do you know what happened, and why is this compound being targeted? >> reporter: well, interestingly this is the fir

security council draft resolution is a new step, though. it seems that russia believes that the west is not listening to it, and it seems that russia believes that the new government petro poroshenko seems to be getting the upper hand on the ground and they're able to control things a little more from kiev. that is a worry from moscow. moscow does not want the separatists in the u.k. to be militarily defeated. russia wants them as strong as possible where a negotiation can take place where ukraine is federalized and the east of the country can be kept more as a pro russian part of the federalized ukraine. weakening kiev's control and also enabling russia to keep its area of influence there and stop ukraine as a country drifting further westward towards the e.u. and further into n.a.t.o.'s group as well. >> live for us in moscow. thank you. >>> well, meanwhile russia's state-owned gas company has relaxed the payment from ukraine. it had threatened to stop supply to ukraine stating tha stating that ukraine owes it $2.2 billion. and it relaxed

security council where they called this meetings? >> well, felicity, i've been speaking with security council members and they say they've yet to see any proposal from the russians. all they know is what sergey lavrov has been saying publicly that he wants some cease fire and some humanitarian corridors for people to flee the violence there. and of course he is blaming the west for the escalation of violence there, and the west is blaming russia for encouraging the pro-russian fighters so i think it's safe to say that the western ambassadors on the council, the western members are very skeptical for what russia is asking for here. they have told me on background that they would want any resolution to include reference to ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty. something that russia is not likely the want to talk about, given its recent annexation of crimea. this has been a sticking point on the council for some time now. also, there's likely to be a lot of questions about the actual need for these humanitarian core stores an

>> david, this was a meeting that lasted more than two hours of the security council. and what is pretty clear, is that there's going to be no been military response to what has been going on. currently, the russians chairing the secure council their ambassador came out pointedly saying he felt the roots of what had happened in the last few days were back in 2003. the u.s. invasion of iraq and he read this statement on behalf of the security council. >> the members of the security council expressed their unanimous support to the government and people of iraq, and their fight against terrorism. they stressed that all actions should be within with the constitutional frame work and comply with the international community and law, and human rights standards. they strongly condemned all terrorist and extremist activities regardless. they also stressed the importance of national dialog, and particular opportunity for that will be provided because of the formation of the new parliament and the new government in iraq. >> but absolutely no action on the horizon. >> if there's n

not many comments going in to the security council meeting other than from the president of the security council, that's a rotate thing. one month each country, this month it is the russians the russian ambassador is providing over the meeting. as went in he said russia was deeply concerned by the situation but pointedly, he said it had its roots in 2003 and the u.s. invasion of iraq, obviously if you remember back something that russia deep la deeply oppo. >> will there be talk about military action and, if so, what sort of action? >> reporter: i think they will be talking about possible military option buzz i think that everything i am hearing from diplomats they will be concluded there is nothing thein' can do and no military operation will be authorized by the u.n. that's because iraq can if it wants to invite other country to his hope other a bilateral basis. which countries, i think turkey, iran and the u.s. i understand from diplomatic sources that certainly the iranians have been talking to iraqis. turks have been talking about possible cooperation. i don't think that necessarily
