the fact that the united nations -- the united nations believes that bashar al-assad is the secretary-general. they are giving full sovereignty to him and they are asking his permission to open border points ? he does not control physically in reality. that further legitimizes him, and he waited more than a week. he waited for everyone to die to then say maybe you can use another border crossing for three months. this is a shame on the united nations, a shame on the legacy of western and, frankly, even arab countries that have sent planes to damascus that does not send even a tiny percentage of that aid to regime-held areas, but the places in syria that were the hardest hit have received nothing. it is not just traumatizing them, it is literally murdering them. >> i want to bring you in here. again, we are hearing about the trauma and also about the physical challenges people are having to live through right now. obviously, there's just not a lot of places for people to sleep, not a lot of food for people to eat. how does this moment, how people deal with the aftermath -- how does that contri

nations officials say deliveries of critical cross-border a good resume on thursday. >> the united nations has dispatched disaster response and assessment teams and is ramping up aid delivery efforts, but access to northwest syria is particularly difficult. this is technically opposition-tell territory, a conflict zone, and the 300 united nations staff already in the area are delivering what aid they have to people there, but the united nations says that they were already struggling to get enough aid in for four point 6 million people in nate -- in need before the earthquake even hit. the united nations assessed it is working with the syrian government to increase its capacity. >> having the crossline missions is something very complex, even before the earthquake. at multiple levels of coordination between different parties, security, humanitarian, ngo's, so it is not a straightforward operation, and it is a militarily active zone where we have to operate in a military zone, so it is not easy. we try our best. >> the majority of aid to north western syria gets there via turkey a, and the g

they are also where united nations agencies are based. in the north, the united nations has acknowledged failing syria with an inadequate response. it says that will change, but many are doubtful there will be any sustained international help. >> we have no heaters, no blankets, nothing. just a tent over our heads. our shops were destroyed. who will help us to rebuild our lives? >> the scars of 12 years of war have still not healed in a region where many are displaced and poor. >> across the border in turkey, the number of people being found alive is getting smaller by the day, but despite the odds, there are still some incredible stories of survival. in the last few hours, a 70 seven-year-old woman was rescued from the rubble after being trapped for over 200 hours. we have more from the epicenter of the second quake. >> two young men were pulled out of the rubble on tuesday, but those stories of joy are becoming less and less. it is overwhelmingly the dead that are emerging from their home. these are apartment blocks that have been clear

that's according to united nations official. and these are the stories of some of those survivors and the desperate situation. they now find themselves and what law he saw, the generals of the people are working day and night, but we need to find refuge. but don't know where we are waiting for god to give us relief. as you know, it is winter. now there are women and children, so we need to secure heating, security, food, water, which is a minimum until things get more organized. i know that the the, i just another model denise of the displeased or know, tend foods and water. we receive food aid, and many good people help. we still need food and water, nothing more than that. thank god, we now took refuge in the stand. last, everything around her last everyone i know in the 3 building that used to be next to me. i lost my neighbors and my children, 7 friends in the building. next to us, we lost a large number of people who used to live near us. my neighbors, my friends, colleagues, and partners. i went to you then across the bord

this is a shame on the legacy of the united nations. and it's a shame on the legacy of european in western and frankly, even air punches that have sent plains to damascus, a regime known to steal aid that hadn't think of even a tiny percentage of that. 8 to 2 regime held areas that, that very at some of the earthquake but that, but the places in that were the hardest hit ever received. nothing. the, the a did not just traumatizing them. it's literally murdering, done. now i want to bring you in here again because we're hearing about the trauma and also the physical challenges that people are having to live through right now. obviously that there's just not a lot of places for people to sleep. not a lot of food for people to ease. how does this moment the, how people deal with the aftermath? how does that contribute to how people are going to deal with processing all of what's happened going forward? it's usually destructive when there's a number of things that will take place, i mean, i think acid scribing sick. thirdly, some of the iss

there also where united nations agencies are based in the north. the u. s. has acknowledged failing syria with an inadequate response. it says that will change, but many here are doubtful. there will be any sustained, international help minimum dod, welcome. we have no heaters, no blankets issued, nothing on just a tent over our heads or shops were destroyed, will help us to rebuild our lives. and in this course of 12 years of war have still not healed in a region where millions are displaced and poor. now there is a new crisis for people who so purpose has long been to survive. then i put there, i was just either northwest syria or gotten hit. i was head of the syrian for him. he described the devastation that millions are now facing. you talking about misery on misery and people living in northwest 4500000 people. 2 thirds of them have been displaced. 2.1000000 children they will attend school. 66 percent are in the northwest syria. 90 percent of the syrian people are below the poverty line. all of this is before the earthquake and now come to the earthqua

the united nations has said nothing. so people are rightfully angry because the world continues to abandon them 12 years on from, from the beginning of their evolution. no, let me bring your in hand because we've had a number of very, very powerful wides shock. anger resilience to that was a numbness. presumably none of this is coming as a surprise to you. no, no, and the numb ingle, the disassociated state, is a very typical initial trauma response. people have not experience trauma and maybe they experience the death of a loved one. and often, when you experience the death of a loved one, you may get into a novel dang state to miss thing. simply because it's not possible to process an experience the emotions. and also because there are things to be done and your 1st guest described that. this does a lot of work to be done in terms of trying to save lives, initially find survivors and bang. so what's needed to maintain life in the living and you said in your interruption, getting schools up and running and i can't pull

it is a violation of united nations charter and international law is having the romantic humanitarian and human rights consequences. and the impact is being felt far beyond the ukraine. out is there is chaper tansy is following the meeting at 2 and headquarters there new york. this is going to go into the evening here in new york, and it will read. it will commence again in on thursday morning with a vote eventually on a, on the un general assembly resolution on binding resolution introduced by ukraine in the e u. and it's, it is rather rather along the lines of what the secretary general that was saying, this is about the principle of the un charter. therefore, it reaffirms that no territorial acquisition resulting from the threat of use of force shall be recognized as legal. therefore, it reiterates its demands that the russian federation immediately completely unconditionally withdraws all of its military forces from the territory of ukraine . and we just heard from the russian bass of the to the, to the us through other sculptor. this is, i see, this is what you can do because if

of united nations nobility. every day of work because in question of our credibility. to conclude, i wish to state once again, we appeal for peace in ukraine because we are for peace and because of that, we will always support efforts for dialogue and we will support every initiative designed to open channels of diplomacy in order to silence the guns in ukraine. thank you. >> i thank you representative for the statement. i give the floor to representative of russian federation. >> mr. president today is the last day of a week which is anything but simple and it will be remembered by one and all for the information. westinwestin sponsors related te one year mark of the russian military operation in ukraine. it would seem that this boils down to the promised back in january to have a peace summit in new york. as to analyze what was said by our former western partners during this week, we could without exaggeration convene whole political conferences and properly -- possibly a future where people want to cast retro

>> first, i should clarify, the united nations has not [indiscernible] the referendum. anchor: it is dead in the water. no one is talking about. >> it has not dropped it. it is clear it is almost impossible in these current conditions. [indiscernible] you need to recognize morocco historically has actually blocked that. [indiscernible] yes, morocco is still certain about the points of view other people. it should allow the referendum to be held. anchor: hmm. >> the united nations has never said morocco's autonomy plan is the only way this should be resolved. so, how do we move forward? clearly we are hitting a wall so there has to be de-escalation. but, my own advice if i was to give it, to actually look back at what happened in the early 2000's was deep then-united nations envoy proposed his own proposal, so trying to work and consult with morocco but also the polisario and determine a mutually acceptable framework. crucially, whatever, whatever the united nations would come up with, it would need to put to referendum. anchor: hmm. >> from the u.s. point of view, this

a, if you look at the phone book of the united nations, you won't find the united nations intelligence organization. this was the 1st time anything like this had ever been done. and it was, it took a while to get the united nations to accept this, this kind of a organization, this kind of work in the best way to get them to accept it was to prove its viability and its value. and because i had considerable experience as an inspector during my time in the so union, the 1980s in 1990. i was able to take the information that i was gathering, turn it into targeting data, and then help organize inspection concepts up that the united nations used to create inspections that would go into iraq. but what we found is rather it, rather than have me create something and turn it over to somebody that it was better if i created it and let it myself. and so i became a chief inspector. we know in the immediate aftermath of the 911 terrorist attack, so when donald rumsfeld convened a m, if defense council paul wolf, what's his deputy actively articulated in favor of invading iraq early saying that becau

and as we're covering that, you know, the united nations had a very different role back then, and it just seems, well, i don't know. i mean, could you give us some sort of comparison? is the un today, the same un as it was 20 years ago. and is it respected in the same? well, let's let you know. it's not totally dissimilar, because if you remember the un back in 2003, 3 permanent members, but is france, russia and china refused to sanction of the purported invasion. and so america have to go on his way, in this case, the problem again with the u. n, is that you have united st united kingdom, 3 permanent members that are going to veto. they're going to veto anything that russia proposes. so just as in that case, we had 3 members that were ready to veto the us plan. we now have 3 members of that already to veto anything that the russia proposes. what about so, i mean it's one thing to take out the no stream pipelines. ok, i get that ok. putting cold in act of terror as did the hungarian foreign minister just just a short time ago now. but at the end of the day, if we, if we just forget

there also where united nations agencies are based in the north, the u. n. has acknowledged failing syria with an adequate response. it says that will change, but many here are doubtful. there will be any sustained international help. minima . we have no heaters, no blankets, nothing, just a tint of our heads or shops were destroyed. who will help us to rebuild our knives and the scars of 12 years of war have still not healed in a region where millions are displaced and poor. now there is a new crisis for people who sole purpose has long been to survive. then there was ita, northwest syria, into kill. the number of people being found alive is getting smaller by the day. but despite the olds, there are still some incredible stories of survival. a 77 year old woman fatima good was rescued from the rubble. i've been trapped for almost 212 hours in the among stephanie decker has more from common massage therapy center of the 2nd quake . 2 young men were pulled out of the rubble on tuesday, but those stories of joy are becoming less and less. it is overwhelmingly

but however, now the united nations will be able to use 2 more crossings among them better. so let me behind me. so the united nations is welcoming this move. there were high level talks in damascus yesterday. some believe that, you know, backdoor deals were, were made at the end of the day. the international community is boring. a lot of money and relief aid into syria and the us treasury a few days ago, lifted some sanctions on bank transfers into syria for, for relief age. but more than that, many believe this cooperation coming from the syrian press at this part of a campaign to really exploit a few like the situation in order for him to regain political legitimacy. so the world engages with him. and this is what's concerning the syrian opposition. they're saying that, you know, waiting for us to agree to open border crossings was wrong on the parts of the international community. they should have just used this border crossings without his approval and without the approval of the united nations, especially since, you know, people are desperate in need of assistance. so

united nation says this will need to increase by 60 percent by 2050. as the population is expected, arise from 8 to 10000000000 people. techniques are also being developed to low a farming emissions by 67 percent by 2050. currently, around $1300000000.00 tons of food is lost or wasted every year. while the one in 10 people don't have enough to eat with al jazeera rebels is up the exhibition into laurie california where he spoke to daniel hagar. she's showing off fruit picking drones, explained how they work. i see your contraption here. danielle, how does the work? what does it do? sure, so our technology is alleviating, like you said, the shortage in agricultural labour right now through as being left to waste on the tree because there's not enough pickers. and so our technology where you see behind music alphabet is done. it's a quick with 8 of our flying economists robots to harvest group. i'm and we are harvesting apples teaches nectarines, apricots and fun, or sort of. there you go, yeah. oh, my goodness, what role? everything on. one of our robot

it's actually general, the united nations. it's clear that you damn him with brain praise when you talk about his betrayal of an online movement at time and time again, although you couch it in more nuanced prose, perhaps. why did he betrayed, why did he understand? he went to yugoslavia and in front of tito. so he did a good job is he attacked cuba over angola where of course, the seeds of and go this position today who knows we leverage visits still were sewn from havana. i think it's important. we put this in context because i was talking about is interaction with the number line. ready but not when he was un secretary general, but when he was empty for a minute of egypt and what he was trying to do then was having that go. she a b street day with israel with the arrow was overwhelmingly rejected. it was trying to prevent egypt, isolation diplomatically. i'm all the wise at the non aligned and i think sometimes that very closely. ready in the way he engaged with respect that leaders of them on the line movement like castro

and on behalf of the united nation system, the united nations development program is at co leading and assessment of damage to energy infrastructure jointly with the world magazine. mister president, through the start of the war. as you know, the international atomic energy agency has supported ukraine to ensure the safety and security of its 15 operating reactors at 4 nuclear plants, including europe's largest nuclear power plant in somebody shambly. we continued urge all parties to swiftly agree and implement and nuclear safety and security protection zone. at this operation, nuclear power plant to avoid a serious accident with potentially disastrous consequences. served up in wally, barely veiled threat us to use nuclear weapons in the context of the conflict spike to nuclear risks, to levels not seen since the darkest days of the cold war. these threats are unacceptable. doesn't progress continues to be married under the lexia. good. an initiative, an agreement broke would be the parties by the united nations and the governments of to kia more than $20000000.00 metric tons of foods

no, not so madeline albright was with us the united nation. by the time that boutros, boutros golly, was there and she basically found him arrogant. she had found him dismissive of her own diplomatic intellectual skills. i'm blue cross was somebody who was it patricia and you know, hid it. he came from a gives 200 families. his grandfather had been prime minister. egypt fascinated in 19, and he had to uncle school for a minute and he'd been devotee for a minute. so egypt for 14 years himself, he knew his was, and he came from a very slow lived family background and believed in noblesse or bleach the obligations of rank. and so he didn't really cow to madeline albright just because she was a us and believe that she almost seemed to think that because she was a representative of the us, whatever she had said was a lot. she didn't need to kind of combine the whole team members of the un security council. so it was clear that these 2 personalities will go to clash. and i think i love the final point that's important, is that the power of the un, t
