for us the status of the occupied golan is in trying in security council resolution position has not changed while what will see next here at the united nations is the u.n. security council on shoes day they were already going to discuss the israeli palestinian issue they now have two things to discuss the situation with regard to that u.s. recognition of israeli sovereignty over the go land and the ongoing military action in garza it's worth telling you that since the start of the trumpet ministration the international community and the u.n. security council pretty much left to the diplomacy on this issue to the united states is that going to continue because i can tell you behind the scenes kemal there's a growing sense of unease ok james bay is at the u.n. thank you. and through with us here and our senior political analyst mona shower what is well this is a broad question what is donald trump doing in specifically to talk about the occupied golan heights reversing fifty years of u.s. policy with a pen stroke let me just add that also he is trumpeting over a united nations securit

security council resolutions, they are as pointed on the issues of chemical and biological weapons as they are on nuclear weapons, and ultimately the process of final fully verified denuclearization is to set the antecedent for the lifting of those sanctions. those sanctions which are international sanctions imposed unanimously by the u.n. security council would also look to the elimination of biological and chemical weapons programs as part of the complete process that we're undertaking. so this issue is one that we've discussed with the north koreans, it is not new and it would be -- it would be a very serious oversight on our part to leave any weapons of mass destruction out of the equation if we truly are going to be successful in transforming the korean peninsula, in order to have a much more peaceful and engaged relationship, not only between the united states and north korea, but between north korea and all of its neighbors. you know, helene, we talk a lot about the challenges of the diplomacy, about the -- about the need to decipher opaque messages that are sent to us and also

security council and the u.n. secretary general to completely condemn this and on certain questions i asked him questions about his response to this he was quoting relevant security council resolutions going back to one thousand nine hundred sixty seven when of course israel took control of the golan saying that resolution two forty two then and then another resolution in one thousand nine hundred one made it very very clear that israel was occupying the goal and that occupation should end and he says that still the settled position and he made it quite clear that those were resolutions that were voted for by the united states an interesting situation right now where we probably i think although the some of the comments been a bit muted have some of the u.s. his closest allies on this particular issue more on the side of the syrian ambassador than they are on the side of washington very interesting but not of course the first controversial decision made by the time but ministration in this region what a move what

security council. president walks away from his summit meeting with north korea but says talks between the two sides will continue. israel's attorney general says he plans to indict prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and after days of violence over kashmir both india and pakistan tell no attention. strong allies are helping president nicolas maduro stay in power in venezuela a u.s. led vote seeking for elections has failed at the u.n. security council russia and china vetoed the move while south africa voted against this christensen amy has more from the united nations. that as well an opposition leader traveled to brazil on thursday visiting president jeroboam. and passengers of european union states it was part of a tour of several nations meant to ratchet up international pressure on president nicolas maduro to step down. at the united nations knows allies attempted to do the same united states introduced a resolution calling for a free and fair elections in venezuela as well as humanitarian access

council of the u.n. general assembly of the cortex which the u.s. is also part of what they are saying though is that the resolutions of those various bodies particularly the u.n. security council their resolutions are binding international law cannot be changed by the united states the one ten chill difficult area going forward is the fact that in the golan heights separating the israeli side and the syrian side there is a un peacekeeping force and there perhaps the trumpet ministration does have a little bit of leverage because that peacekeeping force has a mandate and till june and to renew that mandate requires a vote of the security council and of course in the security council the united states has a veto as one of the permanent five members so it could block things if it wanted to thank you very much until a trail of death damage and flooding is continued to devastate south africa when we come to site and you die barreled.
