that's one of the 50 members of the security council. it's currently the arab member of the security council. that's an important and significant role. he mentioned in his speech the situation across the board in libya and the security council key i think and trying to nudge that country towards democracy. and clearly if you have the one our member of the security council that was seen as a success story on democracy, now, fumbling on democracy. that is not a particularly good example. also worth noting that he spoke about the situation with regard his security council role. the situation with regard to israel and palestine making the point to would stay a champion for palestinian cause is what it's worth. me reminding you that june is coming towards the end of its time on the security council at the very beginning of its time. on the security council, we have the trump piece plan between the israelis and palestinians, while the tennessee and bass. they started off on the security council, fortunately, it was actually fired after a month

well, the security council meeting has now concluded the security council talking about the link between climate change and conflict. and certainly the secretary general of the united nation says there is a big link he says in the future will be, was that caused by the climate crisis. he says, right now, it's a factor in some of the current conflicts. for example, in south saddam, he says some of the fighting there, some of the local fighting that is taking place and policy don is over. i gra, cultural resources and the fact that it's a country that has floods and also droughts. and certainly that point was backed up by many attending this high level security council meeting. we had a president, we have prime ministers, we had foreign ministers. the irish prime minister was chairing the meeting calling for a new special representative. the 2nd general to deal with this very issue calling for new security council resolution on this issue. the problem with that, and that's that to members of the security council on that permanent members, china and russia do not agree with this strategy. i

it is the nature of the security council. when you go back and look at that point about the forged common interest and how it came about, yes, it was after 1945. you had a dynamic of the global system and the way power dynamics evolved at that time. it strikes me that we are still trying to forge that system based on how the world was perceived after 1945. i think those common ideologies are important but also important is how the u.n. evolves within changes in the global arena. i am wondering if perhaps the idea of what we talk about in terms of structural contradictions that exist within the security counsel in terms of how they manage peace, security, human rights, and so forth, is that does everything that goes in have to be about how interests are designed in the security council? perhaps the real challenge for us as it moves forward in a changing global architecture is, what is the viability of the security counsel? is that the real issue or the entire u.n. architecture? that is the big question we have to confront. it

so this is the appeal that she's making to the security council. thank you very much indeed. credentialing me that and one of the story to bring you the us justice department is announced. it's taking the state of texas to federal court over a controversial new abortion law, which prohibits nearly all terminations of pregnancy. us attorney general mat garland has vowed to continue to protect the safety of women in texas seeking abortions under their constitutional rights. s b 8 bands, nearly all abortions in the state after 6 weeks the pregnancy before many women even know they are pregnant and months before a pregnancy is viable. it does so even in cases of rape, sexual abuse, or incest. and it further prohibits any effort to aid the doctors to provide pre viability abortions or the women who seek them. the act is clearly an.

security council resolution. the international community's expectation for a taliban-led government, and the way it will govern and interact with the international system. we need to see them live up to the standards set cap in the resolution -- set up in the resolution before we go down this road. reporter: thank you. to see you. reporter: very quickly, you and the president and secretary of state keeps saying we expect the taliban to honor that commitment. what is in their history that actually points to the fact that they will honor their commitment? that is quite a journey from the time they went in to destroy them, blow them out of existence, to today, when you expect them to honor their commitments. ms. nuland: you just made our point. we are not going to take them at their word, we will take them at their deeds. they have a lot to prove based on their old track record, as you know. they also have a lot to prove that they can run afghanistan far differently than the last time they were in power. they have s

the security council saying that because climate is such a threat to international peace and security that gives the counsel space to act on it. and they're pointed to places like south sudan and ethiopia, where drought famine, conditions, and so on are leading to food insecurity and worsening conflicts. in fact, some 80 percent of un peacekeepers are deployed to areas that are having such problems that are exacerbating the, those conflicts according to ireland. so this was more of a discussion, but not everyone in the council was on board with the security council taking a more active role in the climate issue. while everyone agreed that climate is a risk and a problem that needs to be addressed. china and russia took the approach that it is a subject that should be for the entire world to discuss at cop as opposed to the security council that it's not in their purview. if you well, chris's really thank you very much. are still to come on this news from london. no, we'll be taking to a news conference. 70 yes, extra estate antony blinking. he'll be talking about to a meeting various

in fact, just then the door of the security council. if you look down that in a moment, we're going to see that come out from that security council meeting, where they've been discussing the issue of climate and conflict, the link between the 2 and certainly the current country presiding of the school counsel arlen thinks as a link from the arch prime minister has made the point of the un seka general should set up anew. special representative to deal with it issue the security council should pass a resolution. but i can tell you, even though there were prime ministers in foreign ministers here, some countries don't agree with that. we've heard from china and russia to permanent members of the security council that they believe conflict and climate, both important issues. but the issues that should be kept separate. well, that point was addressed by the us secretary of state antony blinking. we have to stop debating whether the climate crisis belongs in the security council. and instead, ask how the council can leverage its unique power

we have to stop debating with the climate crisis belongs in the security council. he said, and instead ask how the council can leverage its unique powers to tackle the negative impacts of climate on peace and security. it's an argument that should have been settled a long time ago. comments from the u. s. secretary state in the meeting ongoing. now, i'm following on from the strain and relations between france and the u. s. another attempt being made today to repair time. yes, you've got around the council table as we speak, the secretary state antony blinking, who's just spoken. don't even know who's the french foreign ministers also that now they've been in new york all week. they haven't really had a proper charge chance to catch up. they were a few hours ago late last night here in new york at a meeting of the 5 permanent members of the un security council. but i haven't spoken one on one. and i think for the french foreign minister, this whole rao about australia and those submarines is quite personal because he did. he was the defense minister and did the dea

that sets out clearly the expectations of the security council when it comes to the the taliban. so conduct going forward again on freedom of travel on making good on commitments to not allow again, it's going to be used as a launching pad for terrorism on upholding basic rights, including for women and girls and minorities allowing and indeed protecting mandatory assistance. and of course, and having a inclusive governance. so that's in a security council resolution. beyond that, we've had well over a 100 countries making clear the same expectations of the taliban. and in bursley, all of the conversations that i've had in different groupings of either individually or in different groups of countries, including at the, at the security council, i think the international community writ large is looking to the taliban to make good on those commitments. and so we'll see the, the bottom line is this again the, the taliban says that it seeks legitimacy that seek support from the international community. the relationship that it has with the international community is going to be define

and you're just working, violation of the security council resolutions. so they've been turning a blind eye to it's been selling scheme so now realize to he needs a distraction because their actions are concerning the minutes because it's just the sabotage and.

council meeting on climate and security. he said dwindling resources like water will exacerbate fighting's and we fighting in regions that are already on stable. kristen silly me is the united nations and that she joins. as i kristen is quite a stern warning there for the un sacristy general. what else do we know that came out of that meeting? well, climate has been a major topic at the general debate this year in speeches and meetings in this meeting. and the security council really attempted to show the link between climates and conflict. it was hosted by ireland, which was the presidency of the security council right now. and they made the point that 80 percent of the un peacekeeping forces are deployed in areas where cons, where climate issues are exacerbating conflict. they mentioned south sudan and ethiopia, where drought is leading to food insecurity and exacerbating tensions. but when in the security council, it was clear that china and russia take a different approach to some other members of the council who argue t

the idea to hold a summit of the un security council nation. so there's been some delay because of the pin demick and would like to or to your resume. so that's on the agenda, i guess. couldn't yet yet don't for my hand on the, on the sport format. we're much start with online use sessions. so this is the only golf. i mean, she go chaise and said to resolving all her conflicts in june and the 5 permanent medicine you in that security council member states need to be a role model for the rest of us with regard to the withdrawal from forces in official and none of the show and mercenaries, foreign fighters from libya, there are 2 schools those, some argues that they should only withdraw after the election of a government. and they'll be asked officially by the newly elected governments. and those, those who say no, they must withdraw before the election before the 24th of december to assure the integrity and they could debit your elections the spokesperson of the president of the presidential council this morning, stated that you were meeting wit

so this is the appeal that she's making to the security council. mm. us president joe biden, this held americans resisting code 19 vaccinations that the nation is patients with them is wearing sin. he delivered the direct marks remarks while announcing new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100000000 us workers. it's part of an action plan to rein in spiraling infection numbers driven by the more infectious delta variant cases are at the highest since the big surge last winter. my message to unvaccinated america is what more is there to wait for? what more you need to see. we've made vaccinations, free, safe and convenient. the vaccine as f d a approval. over 200000000 americans have gotten at least one shot. even patient, but our patients is wearing thin. and refusal has cost all of us. let's get more or less from out of era, shall have returns. he joins us now live from washington chap. what else did the president have to say? outlined all those restrictions. basically the messages, if you want to get any federal money, then you ha

so what for long don't security in the region and what the council is currently reviewing the u. s. future role in the country. the mandate for the us assistant commission in afghanistan expires in just a week while council members debate the mandates renewal. they'll be grappling with matters of life and death, including human rights, humanitarian access, and the protection of civilians, including women and girls. christian salumi al jazeera, the united nations in the us president joe biden has told those resisting toby 19 vaccination is that the nation's patience is wearing thin. he delivered the direct remarks while announcing new vaccine rules, which will effect as many as 100000000 us workers, his political rivals, the republicans of planning, legal action in response to serious should have return see before so washington, good evening, my fellow americans, joe biden announced a 6 point plan to deal with code 19. well, the white house called a puff out of the pandemic. if we implement, i believe, and the scientists indicate that the months ahead, we can reduce the number of

are united security council. speaking with one voice, vegetation can compel the thought live on to make concession. this is vital and not only for women and good, then. so what for long don't security in the region and what the cow hollow is currently reviewing the u. s. future role in the country, the mandate for the us assistance mission in afghanistan expires in just a week. while council members debate the mandates renewal, they'll be grappling with matters of life and death including human rights, humanitarian access and the protection of civilians, including women and girls. christian salumi al jazeera, the united nations, the ladies of the us and china have spoken directly for the 1st time in nearly 7 months. the phone conversation between joe biden and she jan ping was initiated by the us president. the discussions come at a low point in china. us relations bought and told she, boy the ladies need to ensure competition does not v into conflict. katrina, you has more from by g this phone call is hugely sig

council has been holding meetings to discuss the way forward christian salome reports the security council began its day at the $911.00 memorial us organized event included, a tour of the museum documenting the attacks and served as a reminder of the horrors that lead us to invade afghanistan. but the international community is now dealing with an afghan without the united states being governed by the taliban. many of whose members are on a global terror watch list. the head of the u. n's assistance mission in afghan. a san pointed out that will require some uncomfortable choices. billions of assets and dollar and donor funds have been frozen by members of the international community. the understandable purpose is to not is to deny these funds to the de facto taliban administration. inevitable effect, however, will be a severe economic downturn that could throw many more millions into poverty and hunger. may generate a massive wave of refugees from afghanistan. and indeed said afghan to stand back for generations, pointing out that the leaders of the new in term government remain under int

u and security council extends its mission and i've got on the part of the resolution referring to women and girls, was watered down before the boat. and the family of a man who died of cove at 19 after confronting it at an austrian ski resort sous the government. i'm going to get over to the board and abundance cricket tour packets on the security concern just before the team scheduled matching back has done in 18 years. ah, the united states is threatening more sanctions against the theo pier, with the goal of ending the fighting in the northern region. a new executive order opens the door to sanction members of the unit, eritrea and governments, the to cry people's liberation front and the hot regional government. the biden administration is looking to put pressure on the warring parties to come to the negotiating table. is a look at the conflict integral now into it's 11 months to grow people's liberation front dominated ethiopia as politics. for nearly 30 years, until prime minister ahmed took power in 2018. last november, they ordered a military operation against the group, which h

and i think for the security council, the ones i've spoken to very worrying development. all right, james. 20 thanks and data in the last few minutes to whitehouse. according to the voices news agency says that it's deeply concerned by the therapy and actions hampering humanitarian operations. it says it will not hesitate to use sanctions against those who obstruct humanitarian efforts in ethiopia. now the us russia have held on the round of strategic talks in switzerland, deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman. let the us delegation at the geneva gathering. it was organized to ease tension between the world's 2 largest nuclear powers in a joint statement. the 2 sides said that the meeting was intensive and substantive . haiti has postponed elections scheduled for november, despite pressure from the international community. it's the 4th time the election has been cancelled from the audio on races that he'll set a new date or the next year with grow against ability. many people say that security is their main concern. i'll just here is andy gallagher. reports show. this

know it, you know, we, we is just state security council. we are very careful not to tell us not to say and to, to make a note and do as in the, in a minutes to kill anybody. so we would say remove a person from the society and he movie and you know, we never, nobody said killing but we, i thought it's probably it was meant to if you can't solve the problem by removing the guy, then you could give your thought that then not not conscious, but afterwards thinking beck, i must admit that i realized this was a possibility. none of these things would have escaped someone like former president f. w clack. there was actual proof of his attendance to some of those states security council. if w to clinic with south africa, the last white president, his foundation didn't respond to our interview requests from the out. but he's previously strenuously denied allegations that he sanctioned or knew about any political murders. i have never been thought of any decisions taken by cabinet. the state security council, or any committee authorizing or instruct

security council sanctions guidelines. and so, if that is the case, then there has to be an emergency meeting that should be convened at the security council right now. it seems to be the case that there are two. there is a huge concentration, not just by the international media, but the u.s. government, per se, just on afghanistan, so it'll take time for these kinds of attention to be paid to the north korean issue. dareen: all right, graham, the response by the international community, what do you expect it to be? because the u.n. is also describing this as a "clear violation of relevant u.n. security council resolutions," and what they're saying is this is deeply regrettable, so do you agree with june, that some sort of meeting should be held and might be held? >> i definitely concur with june's assessment. i mean, the united nations is compelled to gather on this issue, to convene, and to discuss it, because it is clear for all to see that there have been a new slate of violations, and this has to be tackled. i mean, w

and today was the security council hosted by irelands prime minister michael mar. in that put the link between climate and conflict. the irish pointed out that 80 percent of peacekeepers for the united nations are deployed in areas of conflict, where climate is exacerbating that conflict, whether it's south sudan or ethiopia. and so they were making the case and others supported this argument that the security council is a place where the international community can and should be reacting to the realities of climate change given it can be a threat to international peace and security. some rejection of that concept from china and russia, china, of course, the largest coal consumer in the glow, but has made some promises to address climate change says it's a very serious issue, but it really should be handled by international other international bodies. and also more efforts around that meeting to men, the erotic fences between france in the us tell us about those. that's right. well, the secretary said from the united states anthony blinkin paid a visit to his frenc

council. and not just that the global community level, but by bilateral level, between the u. s. and south korea as well. and what's really alarming is that the south korean government has not been alert to those. they had been watching the changes in the satellite imagery. they had been receiving the reports, but they haven't, haven't actually alerted the public about the development then it only came to, to, to light after the u. s. pulled out of afghanistan. is the perfect timing for north korea. see wong you were mentioning a moment ago that the last nuclear test was back in 2017. so do you think that the north koreans are now on the path to conducting another one with the revelations from the ground? well, i said it's a possibility. i don't think any one of us can say for sure that it will happen in the near future. what we can only acknowledge collectively is that north korea certainly feels inpatient and wants to see the response. well, we have heard until now from the us side on the ba

is also describing this as a quote clear violation of relevant un security council resolution. and what they're saying is this is deeply regrettable. so do you agree with june that some sort of meeting should be held and might be held? i definitely concur with june's assessment. i mean, the united nation is compelled to, to gather on this issue to convenient to and to discuss it because it is all to see that there have been a newsletter violations. and this has to be tackled. i mean, we've seen over the last few years, an alignment by members of the global community. first of all, in general comes on the proliferation of nuclear weapons. but secondly, in particular, states are concern north korea and iran fall in this category. and i think a lot korean regime has gone pretty far in its nuclear development program. it's weapons program. we've seen some headway some constructive results a couple of years back. but a lot of that has on rebel over the last 18 to 24 months. and i think it is, it is time for the community together and you will gather to put back stop to this, but tak

we have to stop debating whether the climate crisis belongs in the security council. and instead ask how the council can leverage its unique powers to tackle the negative impacts of climate on peace and security. that's an argument that should have been settled a long time ago. look at almost every place where you see threats to international peace and security today. and you'll find that climate change is making things less peaceful, less secure, and rendering our response even more challenging. millions of people across the us often received their 3rd, jo. suffice as cool with 1900. thank seen us regulations improve this to shots for high risk groups on wednesday. and spencer, as a minister has been criticized as to suggesting a volcanic eruption. one of the career re islands could be drawn for tourists. on 6000 people have been evacuated since sunday's a option. and let's see, stay with us inside story is our next news. news. as fall out from the security patch between the u. s. the you can just radio reverberates joe biden is seeking to come. france, the us presid

but how the security council addresses that still remains to be seen. and course then what can we expect them to come out of this meeting? well again, i would expect the focus to be largely on the humanitarian crisis, facing the country and particularly on human rights concerns. that's a big issue for the united nations in many members, states they're worried particularly about women and girls and religious minorities and their rights moving forward. so what i expect is an attempt to link human rights issues with aid issues and humanitarian issues. and the need to use that as an entree into discussions with the taliban and with whatever government comes to pass in afghanistan, there are speakers expected from afghan civil society to talk about the situation on the ground. and we'll also be hearing from the noble laureate malala use of cy pakistani girl who was shot after advocating for girls education, which the taliban had taken away in her region of pakistan. so expect a big emphasis on rights and how that is connected to the development economically

among other things, the un security council. that is significant in the number of ways, one of which is that the taliban is seeking sanctions relief, u.n. sanctions, it is seeking the ability for its leaders to travel freely, under u.n. sanctions they came not do -- cannot do. if the taliban government in violation of this latest security council resolution on freedom of travel, it is difficult to see how they would get that relief. that is one example. that is part of the political piece. we are in active coordination with like-minded countries around the world. we continue to work together and use the leverage and information we have to hold the tell band to the commitments they've made. tactical level is important. making sure there is the ability for people to travel as a practical matter. the airport in kabul, where a tremendous amount of work was done in the last days of the evacuation to make sure that we got and shared with other countries a detailed information necessary for how to get the civilian airport up and runnin
