[applause] gen. guterres: mr. trump, thank you for those kind words your support. someone recently asked, what keeps me up at night. my answer was simple, bureaucracy. fragmented structures, byzantine procedures, and endless red tape. have come up not with a better way to do it than by imposing some of the rules we have created ourselves. i asked myself if there were a conspiracy to make our rules exactly what they need to be to make us an effective. let us -- ineffective. let us never forget that we are here to serve, to serve the people suffering and poverty and exclusion, people victimized by conflict. people whose rights ended dignity are being denied. reform is for them. reform is also for the hard-working taxpayers. reform is

his first meeting at the united nations. many things are happening in the region, four wars are on in syria and iraq, yemen and libya and great interest. for these leaders to meet with our president and then discuss what can be done in the region. >> shannon: there are things, of course, the president can bring to the table that i would think just about everybody who is part of this meeting can agree on. fighting terrorism. they may define it differently. there are common threads that the u.n. can be used for and used for good. how do you see the president addressing that particular issue with this body? >> he has a great historic opportunity to form larger coalitions that never existed before in the united nations. what we saw this morning was a formation thanks to ambassador haley as a coalition for reform. 120 countries signed. now the president on the issue of counter terrorism and specific issue of extremism he has an alignment of planets. he addressed 50 muslim and arab leaders and europe. if you do the count between 5

nations the president of united , nations general assembly, ladies and gentlemen, peace be upon you. 24 years have passed since the signing of the oslo accords that was an interim agreement that set a five-year period for bringing an end to the israeli occupation. granting hope to the palestinian people that they would soon achieve independence within their state. and achieve peace between palestinians and israelis. what is left of this hope today? president, ladies and gentlemen, we recognize the state of israel on the 1967 borders. but israel continued refusal to recognize this borders has put into question the mutual recognition we find in oslo in 1993. bash the mutual recognition that we signed in oslo in 1993. since my speech before your august assembly, when i appealed for 2017 to be the year for ending the israeli occupation of the territory of the state of palestine, the israeli government has pursued its settlement campaign on our land, in contravention of all international conventions and the relevant resolutions of palestine. also persisted with its flagrant disregard for

that's what the united nations is all about. that is what the united nations is for. let's see how they do. it is time for north korea to realize that the denuclearization is its only acceptable future. the united nations security council recently held two unanimous 15-0 votes adopting hard-hitting resolutions against north korea, and i want to thank china and russia for joining the vote to impose sanctions, along with all of the other members of the security council. thank you to all involved. but we must do much more. it is time for all nations to work together to isolate the kim regime until it ceases its hostile behavior. we face this decision not only in north korea. it is far past time for the nations of the world to confront another reckless regime -- one that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing death to america, destruction to israel, and ruin for many leaders and nations in this room. the iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. it has turned a wealthy country with a rich history and culture into an economically

stopped you know how it ended up being us and this is what the united states wants for the united nations and here's what it's for the united nations since the end of the cold us to rubberstamp because they're at the united nations since their existence since actually it was founded during world war two it was nice to know. because you've been one hundred forty two and then found it in the last stages so here in the west these world war two to two minute thirty and to preserve the post were peace between the new superpowers and the wind the cold war ended in one thousand eight hundred nine one thousand nine hundred one the united states becoming the sole superpower and assuming great sizzix you know this one. world policeman we can say yes religious me think it was a privilege ok exactly and now they feel it and then they felt it would be will be for ever it will be it will last forever just as many empires think and it never happens nothing is forever in the world history and the united nations for them became some think of we you know something that prohibited them from anything here an

these are the values of these united nations. and yet, despite our best efforts, we, as nations and a united nations, have not found a way or the means to truly take on this threat. so today, as i talk about you on reform, i asked the secretary-general to make this fight against terrorists and the ideologies that drive them a core part of his agenda, at the heart of our development, peace building and conflict prevention work. and give his effort the prominence it surely requires. i'm calling on the secretary-general to make this the theme of next year's general assembly and use this to harness the efforts of governments, the private sector, and civil society, so we can truly strike the generational blow against this vile evil in our world. and as we do so, we must strike the balance between protecting our people and protecting their freedoms. we must always guard against those who would use the fight against terrorism as a cover for oppression and the violation of human rights. as we look at the situation in burma, i call -- on

states within the united nations and what donald trump believes the united nations should be doing any closed out his speech with that as well but it was the things in the middle of the talk about north korea the talk about iran about terrorism which i'm sure will get everyone talking let's start with james spays who is following events with us from the united nations james let's deal with this bit by bit i think north korea has to be the first thing. i think north korea very much will be the center of this speech when people look at it i don't think many people have heard a speech like that from a u.s. president in this setting perhaps we never heard a speech like that in fact at the u.n. general assembly because we were all listening the al-jazeera team to that speech and when the mention of north korea came there was an order bull guard you heard there the president of a country threatening in the u.n. general assembly to totally destroy another country and that president was the president of the united states the strongest language you could possibly have in a speech like this so t

stopped you know how it ended up being us and this is what the united states wants for the united nations and here's what it's for the united nations since the end of the cold us to rubberstamp because they're at the united nations since their existence and actually it was founded during cold war two and it was placed in a. sea of the one hundred forty two and then found it in the last stages so during the last eight years world war two to two minute there and to preserve the post work peace between the new superpowers and the when the cold war ended in one thousand eight hundred nine one thousand nine hundred. the united states becoming the sole superpower and assuming great sizzix you know this one. world policeman we can say it's religious may think it was a privilege ok now they feel it and then they felt it would be will be forever it will be it will last forever just as me and parish think and it never happens nothing is forever in the world history and the united nations for them became some think of we you know something that prohibited them from anything here in the here yes they

that's what the united nations is for let's see how they do well our u.n. correspondent roselyn jordan has been monitoring those speeches and joins us live now from the headquarters in new york no speech by donald trump was expected to be boring but this was something else. this was because this is the united nations this is an organization that is built on the promise that it's supposed to prevent or that it's supposed to promote peace it was born out of the world war two and to have a world leader the leader of the host country for the delegates and. another sovereign state even though there are ongoing diplomatic efforts to try to get north korea to give up its nuclear weapons program that's simply unprecedented we have to know cool to be. prime ministers and with. other countries in fact. said. but there's a. television interview that he did not. to make this sort of. north korea that ministration focus on diplomacy it was the administration of george w. bush as you might expect felicity the reaction here has been ferocious. nikki haley told reporters b

principles and goals of the united nations. as a member state in one thousand nine hundred sixty we have all who has participated in order to bring about a global peace security and development nigeria are one pointing you to support the united nations in order its efforts including the attainment of the twenty thirty i joined forces to develop what i thank you. for the heart of the presidency of nigeria a man would not say much in public in the last few months he returned the public a month or so ago. with me here in studio listening he talked about pretty much every country in the world except his own yeah what struck me i thought. he will give more focus also on some of the challenges that face in country and the african continent in particular. quickly about the containing the threat of. and from there he started to talking about all other conflicts that are and there is no clear focus was there about an eight year year which is a huge country of africa and we say that is all probably. try to do to address to show i think c

of a united and the united nations that does what what. the big powers and headlines i i'm not that i'm not certain week we'd we know how much he's aware of. but he certainly wants are more. graham headline grabbing. activity from the un i think it positive headlines not negative ones indeed as about the say that they've been quite a lot of those negative. kind of headlines concerns of the various scandals at the return to being investigated that un peacekeepers have been involved in especially in places such. as africa clearly drum looking then to reform as you say antonio guterres the sector general he too sees the need to change things. so piano puts you wettest the u. n.. u. s. relationship go from this point. well that's really up to donald trump. i he has talked about america first. i he has. going to the u. n. however you i get says sanctions passed on north korea. i is so the end of the day the question really is does donald trump feel like he can get anything out of working through the un or can you get more out of working alone.

that's what the united nations is all about. the united nations is for. let's see how they do. it's time for north korea to realize that the de nuclearization is its only acceptable future. united nations security council unanimouseld two votes adopting hard-hitting resolutions against north korea. i want to thank china and russia for joining the vote to impose sanctions along with all the other members of the security council. thank you to all involved. we must do much more. it's time for all nations to work together to isolate the kim regime until it ceases its hostile behavior. we face this decision not only in north korea. it is far past time for the nations of the world to confront another reckless regime. one that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing death to america, destruction to israel and ruin for many leaders and nations in this room. the iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind a false guise of a democracy. it has turned a wealthy country with a rich history and culture into an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloods

diplomats will wary about this transfer strip to the united nations as president. trump has railed against the u.n. many times in the past suggesting it's inefficient and bloated at times this transactional america first president would seem to question the entire international system that's existed since the un was set up at the end of world war two ahead of the meeting there was some unease about what this unpredictable president might say but he only seemed concerned about how the microphones worked his read the and so. when trump finally spoke there would have been a big sigh of relief felt across the united nations he now seems to be a fan of the organization and. mr secretary general of the united states and the member states presenter support this great reform vision we pledge to be partners in your work and i am confident that if we work together and champion truly bold reforms the united nations will emerge as a stronger more effective more just and greater force for peace and harmony in the world so instead of declaring war on the u.n. trump seems already

the united nations was founded on truly noble goals. these include affirming the dignity and worth of the human person and striving for international peace. the united nations has helped advance toward these goals in so many ways, feeding the hungry, providing disaster relief and empowering women and girls in many societies all across the world. yet in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because a bureaucracy and mismanagement, while the united nations on a regular budget has increased by 140%. and its staff has more than doubled since 2000, we are not seeing the results in line with this investment. but i know that under the secretary general, that's changing, and it is changing fast. and we have seen it. that's why we commend the secretary general and his call for the united nations to focus more on people and less on bureaucracy. we seek a united nations that regains the trust of the people around the world in order to achieve this, the united nations must hold every level of management accountable, pro

the members of the united nations carry out the decisions of the security council. if the resolutions on the dprk looked at -- on the dprk are , all u.s. ambassadors abroad and the president, and state secretary, to coerce other countries into passing the resolution. the u.s. wants to bring stooges like south korea and japan into this. the u.n. member states are not yielding to pressure, and dealing with the u.n. resolutions. they make an independent judgment on awfulness. they want to further raise their voices. , for the very thet day of its foundation, over 70 year long history of the dprk has been in a sense, the struggle, along the road of self-development, under the harshest sanctions in the world. it was such a prolonged and arduous struggle, now we are finally only a few steps away from the final stage of completion of the state nuclear force. it's only a formal hope to consider any chance that the dprk would change its stance, , that harsher sanctions they will certainly come in the near future, when we sense that all damages, economic development, and impr

let's drain the swamp at the united nations. joining me now to respond, the spokesperson for the united nations sector general. i do appreciate you coming on to talk about this. i just wanted to start they really trying to get an understanding of how careful the united nations and its people are with public money, and what they do with that money. i tried to find on united nations website, some kind of indication of what jobs people do, what they're paid, i couldn't find that anywhere. can i start with you? what are you paid. >> sure. first of all, thank you, it was quite a welcome you gave me. the scale of every staff member at the united nations is available for anyone with google on the international civil servants website. it's like any public service, united states or anywhere in europe, every public servant has a grade and is paid. the secretary general is extremely careful with the money that is given to the united nations, since he started office, one of his first actions was to put in place and accrued whistleblower pol

what drives me nuts about the united nations. it's a joke. the failure. why invest at all? >> the europeans know if the united states unilaterally started making its contribution at the level it wanted to domestic pressure on their countries to do exactly the same would the unbelievably high. a german diplomat wants it to me when i said why they decide your own amount to contribute he said we have to be told what amount to contribute. lou: meanwhile we pony up money. it's really preposterous. do you think this institution, why in the world do we perpetuate? it's a joke. everybody knows it's a joke. a great geopolitical minds come together as nations or other institutions and then make the world a safer place. it is palpably a lie. >> the political institutions have failed. jeane kirkpatrick once asset the u.s. should withdraw from the u.n. pitchy pause for moment and said it's not worth the trouble and the reason for that is we have to overcome -- lou: we could lose a couple billion a year. >> we moved to volunteer and if that do

make the united nations great. not great again, but those are words that we heard from a deliberate play from his 2016 campaign slogan. first the general assembly. the big speech is tomorrow. the president made his case by too much red tape and he also said it's too dependent on the united states. >> the united nations was founded on truly noble goals yet in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of the bureaucracy and mismanagement to honor the people of our nations. we must ensure that no one and no member state shoulders a disproportionate share of the burden and that's militarily or financially. >> now iran and north korea and other world leaders are trying to get a sense of who the american period is. candidate trump promised to shape up the world. move the united states embassy and shift the free trade agreement. president trump has done none of those things, adopting a conventional foreign policy despite an unconventional way of communicating. at united nations for us, the

president trump is calling for reform of the united nations. he says america pays too much. we must ensure no member state shoulders at the a disproportionate share of the burden. whilst the clear—up from irma continues — another powerful hurricane — maria — is heading towards the caribbean. we will find out about that from bbc weather. we will find out about that from bbc weather. and if you want to get in touch — the hashtag is bbc 05. donald trump has attacked bureaucracy and mismanagement at the un. he did so during his debut speech to the un general assembly. here's some of it. we commend the secretary—general and his call for the united nations to focus more on people and less on bureaucracy. we seek a united nations that regains the trust of the people around the world in order to achieve this the united nations must hold every level of management accountable, protect whistle—blowers and focus on results rather than on process. to honour the people of our nations we must ensure that no one and no member state shoulders a disproportionate share of the bur

these are by far the strongest measures ever and post on north korea being united nations security council approves a new sanctions targeting north korea and its nuclear program. about this and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up the search for survivors begins in the florida keys where officials fear a humanitarian crisis and the aftermath of hurricane. britain's parliament not only votes in favor of key legislation to start its brags it from the european union. britain and sweden to seek a u.n. meeting on the rohingya crisis a day after its human rights chief denounced me in modern. united nations security council has approved a new set of sanctions aimed at north korea's nuclear program the sanctions include a ban on all countries hiring north korean workers and importing textiles from the country to major sources of foreign currency but the u.s. has had to water down its draft resolution to win support from russia and china it had wanted to ban all oil and natural gas exports to north korea but it's had to settle for a reduction in fuel supplies the original draft included

that could meet the united nations target. so, as you see, turkey is working really hard to word a -- toward a sustainable world, which is the main message of this general assembly. and we will continue in the , coming days with the same consideration in mind. honorable mr. president, esteemed delegates, turkey is engaged in an intensive fight against the bloody terrorist organizations of the region such as daesh and the pkk, nourished by the instability in syria and iraq. additionally, our fight against the terrorist organizations which attempted to change the legitimate and democratic regime of turkey by a bloody coup is also ongoing. we have recovered 243 residential areas, in land larger than 2000 square kilometers, thanks to the euphrates shield initiated in syria following the attacks on our borders. daesh. we have neutralized 3000 daesh militants during that operation. around 100,000 syrians returned to and resettled in the region that we cleaned up from the terrorists. the operation euphrates shield is the single great

particularlys about reforming the united nations. we will get to the more substantive portions of what donald trump like to speak with the other members about later in the week, but was everything he said today anticipated? >> yes. it is no secret that the trump administration is very focused on u.n. reform. not to mention his skepticism in the past which is well documented. he also wants the un security council to get what he wants done on north korea, so it is a bit of a balancing act here. i think you see just how targeted the u.s. focus is on unitarian, peacekeeping organizations and part of the u.n. which has faced a lot of criticism. area where the trump administration believes there could be better commitment from the other member countries. haleyyou mentioned nikki in the secretary-general who have forged -- nikki haley and the secretary-general who have forged a close partnership. yes, as i said, i think the way she has decided to zone in on this one particular area, the peacekeeping area, that is in area where the united st

he said he wanted to make the united nations great. in recent years, the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement. we encourage the secretary—general to fully use his authority to cut through the bureaucracy, reform outdated systems and make firm decisions to advance the un's core mission. in the new un secretary—general antonio guterres, president trump has found an improbable ally in pushing through reform. the former socialist prime minister of portugal spoke the same language as the billionaire president. 0ur shared objective is a 21st century un focused more on people, less on process, value for money while advancing shared values. that is our common goal. the us is by far the biggest funder of un peacekeeping missions such as this one in the democratic republic of congo. the trump administration has slashed the budget by $500 million, but the truth is, the un had feared more savage cuts. many diplomats here were terrified that donald trump would set out to destroy an instituti

pays too much to the united nations. and this week will be a wonderful opportunity to work with other countries to try to negotiate a fair share for everybody. >> part of this, nancy, are the pull-asides, right, the meetings, right, the bilaterals. one of those will be with the leader of south korea, president moon, which we understand based on a tweet with the president, he had a conversation over this weekend with the president of south korea. how important are these pull-asides, these bilaterals that are going to be happening? what are you hearing is going to be happening? >> the pull-asides are the most important part of this meeting. as peter said, the reform and all of those issues, every president does that with mixed success. it's a difficult thing to achieve, although very important. but this is going to be the first time you have a reality show going on at the united nations. all eyes are going to be on donald trump. everyone's going to be trying to see him. and they're waiting for a big message. is he going to

the united nations is a wonderful. place for the benefit of the u.s. and such tremendous potential that we go up to its potential when you see the united nations so they don't because it's a waste of time even though trouble criticized u.n. spending and bureaucracy he also stated that the u.n. is changing under secretary general antonio terrets this is interesting because in june this particular secretary general seemed to oppose any budget cuts saying that it would create an unsolvable problem to the un now it's clear that the u.n. is set to change but the question is will it work out with less funding. international law professor dowd told us president trump failed to address some of the key problems facing the united nations the real problem is not where mr trump is mentioning and complaining about either. justice in distributing the economic burden or inflation in with respect to bureaucracy and other things the problem the real problem is the. structural defect in the constitution that is the charter of the united

the united nations was founded on truly noble goals. these include affirming the dignity and worth of the human person and striving for international peace. the united nations has helped advance towards these goals in so many ways, feeding the hungry, providing disaster relief, and empowering women and girls and many societies all across the world. yet in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement. while the united nations on a regular budget has increased by 140% and its staff has more than doubled since 2000, we are not seeing the results in line with this investment. but i know that under the secretary general that's changing and it's changing fast and we've seen it. that's why we commend the secretary general and his call for the united nations to focus more on people and less on bureaucracy. we seek a united nations that regains the trust of the people around the world in order to achieve this, the united nations must hold every level of management accountable, protec
