the world without the united nations is much worse off than the world we're the united nations. it's, it's much better to have a united nations regardless of how divided and how an effect effective it is. because in the end of the day, the united mission is not a building. the united nations is the will of the international community. and the world is united, the united missions effective when the what is not united, united measures, not effect. when it was 1st granted. they made this very interesting compromise, which, which meant you give the 5 permanent members the right to veto. and why was that needed? so that they join the 5 nuclear power eventually joined, the united nations joined the you're not didn't, didn't you? and you not to mention secured the gospel became members and it was important to have them there and to have the veto. and that veto makes work mix decisions, make the applications are, this is quite tough. and yet, and yet having them there is better than not having them. that's just like having their not admissions dad is better than not putting it there. be

i'm deeply distressed by damage to united nations facilities in gaza. united nation is mrs. r inviolable, including during our conflicts. you may have said installations must be respected and protected. united nations agencies and our partners continue to provide aids to the people of gaza. owner is providing binky, water, sanitation, electricity generators. for those sheltering in the schools while go food program as provide electronic vouchers to 74000 people in gaza and the secretary general medical caulk and i will launch a fully meditating appeal for funding as soon as possible. and meanwhile, to meet the media needs. i'm working on an allocation from the center emergency response funds and you mentioned coordinator intends to release 14000000 us dollars from the military and funds for the occupied palestinian territories. i had $2.00 to follow through on the pledges they have made. excess 40 mediterranean goods is paramount. attacks by millions, groups on area surrounding crossing points are acceptable. at the same time, israel is a duty to 11 so silly dates rapid and

s. investor to the united nations. we've heard from a number of other ministers today to including the palestinian foreign minister less tend to all correspondent kristen salumi at the united nations who's been following the meeting closely. what did you make of what linda thomas greenfield had to say. very interesting. this is the 1st time we've heard her speak publicly on the ongoing conflict and violence in the middle east. although we've gotten some read out of her comments from behind the scenes. and she was pushing back against criticism that we've been hearing all morning about the security council not being able to come together and act with one voice in some countries directly calling out the united states for blocking any such action. she said that in her remark, she talked about the fact that the united states has been actively engaged in behind the scenes diplomacy. she said to bring an end to the conflict as soon as possible. we have not been silent. in fact, she said, i don't believe any country has been

— united nations? well, the united nations are _ united nations? well, the united nations are due _ united nations? well, the united nations are due to _ united nations? well, the united nations are due to discuss - united nations? well, the united nations are due to discuss it - united nations? well, the united| nations are due to discuss it later today. so far, the americans have blocked any effort to issue a statement by the un security council. i will imagine there would be words at the end of today's meeting, but i don't think it would move the dial very much. all attention is what is going on here in the region. the american envoy to the israeli defence minister this morning. interestingly, he had a meeting with israeli arabs yesterday, which was a bit of a departure. but, of course, the americans don't have any direct contact with hamas, an organisation which they, like israel, and many other countries, regarded as a terrorist organisation. they will be very dependent on the offices of countries like egypt and to mediate and find a way out.

that meeting of the united nations in new york. and now invited in mr oxman saranda best. interests. you're going to see. thank you mr president will stay with these live pictures but will bring in our correspondent at the u.n. today christian salumi christiane what's your reading of what we've been hearing from various delegates and foreign ministers so far. very interesting debate happening inside the security council the 1st time we've heard from members on the record since the most recent escalation of violence in the middle east the secretary general teed off the events and i can tell you that we know that he was revising his remarks right up till the last minute before he gave his speech we normally get copies of his remarks well in advance but right down to the end we're told he was working on the text of this it tells you just how tricky an issue this is for the united nations and what we've seen playing out with all of the speakers here is speakers balancing israel's right to self-defense with palestinian rights and attemp

russia's envoy to the united nations. richard taking us through and the various delegates and ambassadors and foreign ministers you've been talking to this open session they did have 2 closed door sessions earlier in the week they there were calls for a 3rd session the united states didn't like that but ended up doing something every new turn and saying yes you can do it let's talk to kristen salumi our correspondent following that so kristen just listening to 1st off the u.s. ambassador to the united nations it was clearly the ambassador talking sounded a lot like mr biden however. indeed although she took great pains to point out the suffering that's happening on both sides of this conflict this is the 3rd meeting that the security council has had in just 6 days is the 1st open meeting and the 1st chance for all countries to put their views on the table formally in this international setting. so far the united states have been resistant to that this is the 1st time that the council was able to come together because of u

nations and nothing happened as your children did not respect them and the united states protected it and to some degree for you so what we have now and this is a bit what causes what we have now is this incredible effort to come out with a statement. that was shown what i mean so they come out with a statement and then what why why is a statement so important i mean it is important symbolically but how is it important function in any how will it be a good couple how will it be enforced who will enforce it who will use a certain leverage on the israelis and say that from the sting is to stop we're back to square one so i think all though we're talking a lot about them agreeing on a statement which probably will be watered down so much that probably. the israeli government will be laughing it out to the 2 took 2 guys. and yet you know we say good let them have a statement why not but but i don't think we should build we i don't think we should depend on the investment so much why a guy has a bleeds while the war escalates while the infrastructure the water that it does it teach the eco

nations are different sample and what the united states and nato have been pushing recently under the curious name of rules based international order that term as that expression is used several times a day by nato secretary general stoltenberg blank and most notoriously at the nato foreign ministers meeting a few days ago and it's clearly they're targeting russia i'm sure i know that's indisputable throwing them incidentally if you read or have a listen to blink ans address on march 24th at nato headquarters where he throws russia and china into the same category as north korea and iran and some new axis of evil if you will is that ideological no except in the sense that by rules based their values based international order the united states and its vassals and tributaries to quote the. you know the developed a sort of the social cultural norm that almost serves as the equivalent of a political ideology and it's one that they want to enforce on the rest of the world of the rest of the world doesn't go along with it they're isolated in their traduced and they're you know they're all t

the united nations are due to discuss it later today. so far, the americans have blocked any effort to issue a statement by the un security council. i imagine there would be some form of words, perhaps at the end of today's meeting, but i don't think it will move the dial very much. all attention is what is going on here in the region. the american envoy hady amr, met the israeli defence minister this morning. interestingly, he had a meeting with israeli arabs yesterday, which was a bit of a departure. but, of course, the americans don't have any direct contact with hamas, an organisation that they, like israel, and many other countries, regard as a terrorist organisation. so they will be very dependent on the good offices of countries like egypt to try and mediate and find a way out. it is a complicated diplomatic set of communications and it may take some time before they yield any results. but as i said earlier, it really will come either when hamas decides to stop firing rockets, or when israel feels it has done enough damage to stop

he did say that he plans to work with the united nations. the united states will work with the united nations on humanitarian aid to gaza working with the palestinian authority. he also said in general that -- made passing reference to all the families that have suffered during the last 11 days. but did not necessarily point out how disproportionately the number of palestinians have been killed in the conflict the last 11 days. he did not mention that at all. what you have here from president joe biden is pretty much what you might expect from joe biden. someone that is treading very carefully if you will. clearly is not going to break his alliances with israel at all. but wanted to at least accept some sort of credit to brokering this cease-fire. >> an image of the stage of what any potential roadmap toward resuming any kind of process might be? >> there was not here. earlier on thursday, vice president, like ours spoke to -- vice president kamala harris spoke to theli jordanian president. vice president told jordan's king the u.s. still wa

the united nations secretary general doug homashold flew when they appealed for russian aid. he persuaded the belgians to withdraw. the president ousted him from the premiership and expelled communist ambassadors from the congo. countries supporting him faced the problem of preventing russian interference while refraining from unduly influencing the congo's internal affairs. the united states provided world leadership against russian cold war aggression, which underlayed world tensions. those tensions were heightened when russia's premier, josef stalin died under mysterious circumstances in 1953. succeeded to the communist leadership, during his brief premiership, he announced that russia had the hydrogen bomb before the conference scheduled for 1955. at the conference in geneva, at the conference, khrushchev represented russia. president eisenhower voiced hopes of improved east/west relations. >> of course, no one knows what the coming months will tell, but in the meantime we do know that new contacts have been established and there is evidence of a new friendliness in the w

the united nations. this forum in the general assembly where countries are able to speak their mind. 95 countries and regional group signed up to speak their piece. we just heard from the israelis and palestinians, but a number of other countries weighing in this after the security council held for meetings, considered at least 2 potential statements and a potential resolution, but was unable to act on any of them because of us opposition. all of this culminating, as i said in this meeting and intense pressure, not only on israel and hamas to stop bombs from falling, but on the united states, to back some international effort. the united states very much on the defensive here at the united nations, have a listen to what the us ambassador said earlier. over the past 2 weeks, the united states says approach this crisis in israel and gaza with a singular focus bring an end to the conflict as quickly as possible. we have not been silent. in fact, i don't believe that there's any country working more urgently

united nations trying to come up with some sort of joint message on a cease fire so far failing. what difference does it make any of these voices when it comes to bringing about some sort of end to this conflict because from what we're seeing. in the messages we're guessing just speaking to our correspondent in southern israel a little earlier the violence is continuing there will be more bombardment from israel into gaza tonight. absolutely and i don't see any of this being serious about stopping the fighting the 2nd day not serious about oppression and desire to stop what's been barred meant and clearly there is no diplomatic leverage been used against either party that we know of i'm sure there's a lot of things happening behind the scenes but in a spot as the most important party which is the united states today and the israelis publicly that they must stop firing short of that i don't think we're going to see anything serious. and anytime soon and any time soon is key here why because it's been more than a week and if we go on a far another week the the human costs the econo

did say that he plans to work with the united nations the united states will work with united nations on humanitarian aid to gaza, working with the palestinian authority. but he also said that in general, that made passing reference to all of the families that have suffered during the last 11 days, but didn't necessarily at all point out how disproportionately the number of palestinians have been killed in a conflict to the last 11 years. he did not mention that at all. so bottom line is what you have here from president joe biden is, is, is, is pretty much what you might expect from joe biden. someone that is treading very carefully if he will, clearly is not going to break his alliances with israel at all. but wanted to at least accept some sort of credit to, to brokering this this ceasefire and new mentioned at this stage of what any potential future roadmap towards perhaps resuming any kind of piece process might be no, there wasn't here. but earlier on thursday, vice president come out, harris spoke to the jordanian king abdullah and according to read out from the white house on

the question of korea became a united nations concern in 1947. the un's efforts to hold supervisory free elections throughout korea were blocked in the north by soviet union. only in the south was a election held. the republic of korea was created. and the national legislature elected with provisions for north korean representation if and when elections could be held. they're sigmund reid became the first president. the elections in the south produce the only legal government in korea. from december 1940, eight the soviet union and you surprised move announced that she had removed her occupation troops from north korea. we found ourselves to be compelled to do the same in the south. except for a small u.s. army advisory group which remained at the request of the korean government. the question of a unified korea remained unanswered. the future of the south korean people was another anxious american concern. north korea's plan for unifying korea was made known to the world in june 20, five i 50, and it was by military invasion. a six divisions of

the united nations general assembly and indeed all of the happenings at the un around this issue. thank you so much, kristin. we'll leave it there with you for now. i will speak to you a little bit later on. now if you've just been joining us here and i'll just there, we are following a very special session of the un general assembly that's been called to discuss the israel palestine conflict. so far we have heard from the un secretary general, antonio terrorists calling for an immediate cease fire and prioritizing the protection of civilians as we see this conflict ongoing. and we have also had from the palestinian foreign minister, we had a leaky saying that there needs to be a solution to this ongoing conflict. and we will be having more coverage of that in the coming hours following very closely here on al jazeera to stay with you know, what's going on was, it's a very bleak picture for a lot of americans out there. why supremacy, in fact, all of ours completion, you're putting more money into the hands of some workers taking money out of the hands of other workers. everyone g

neither side is showing any sign of backing down prompting the united nations toward a full scale civil war. broke. it up to reporters show the result as is following the story for us here in berlin surely the united nations is warning of all out war do you see that as a real possibility. i'm afraid so everything is possible we see usually we've seen in these conflicts that we that are it's not the 1st time and we've seen as sort of course of 3 or 4 days and then we still see on both sides trying to wind down the escalate we see in this moment in time it's not really what we're seeing israelis are sending the message that they're preparing for a long case a week another week of fighting and it seems like the palestinians are not interested in the hamas is not interested in that we need to keep in mind today is it is one of the most important. holidays and fast religious state and they will be at could get ink and a lot of pressure because what happens in gaza bombarded suffering gaza that is very very different than what happens in jerusalem where everything static we see already photos

you've been following the united nations general assembly. busy because today, what do you make of what you've been hearing? clearly the, the, the position or the position of various countries seems to be aligned. there is clearly a consensus among the different capitals regardless whether they are on friendly terms or not. that there should be an immediate cease fire, and i think each and every one that we have heard did speak very clearly and unequal about the need for to cease fire. and to end the tragedy in garza. and as far as the american ambassador, you know, i am actually quite confused. miss morris, i should say, because on the one we have of the bus that was quite eloquent. and clearly, you know, she's picks it hard shell tone, even defensive tone, about you know what america isn't, there's not doing but clearly what she's saying negates the facts. she clearly negates what we've been reading in in and met credible us reports like in the new york times and the washing force about the by the ministrations position over the last 2 week

general assembly got me on mars ambassador to the united nations. contrary to many people's expectations stood against the military to enter the army leaders try to fire the ambassador but the un still recognizes him many countries welcomed his brave statement including the u.s. let me be clear from the outset the united states continues to strongly condemn the military coup in miramar and we condemn the security forces brutal killing of unarmed people others like china have refused to condemn the military coup good use of please. take you to humor don't. go from. here you wouldn't. be. the shoes you should keep. as the conflict continues to escalate will it turn into a civil war will the international community reach a consensus or remain polarized myanmar's ambassador to the u.n. your more tone talks to al-jazeera. and buster of myanmar to the united nations thank you for talking to. in your country there was a coup on the 1st of february ever since the death toll has mounted do you now believe that not only was the will the democratic will of you

the united states and the united nations have called for de-escalation. the arab league has condemned the airstrikes on gaza and called on the international community to help stop the violence. qatar's foreign minister called for an effective arab position to stop attacks and violations. those were the headlines. the news continues here on al jazeera after" inside story or, stay tuned. -- the news continues here on al jazeera after "inside story." state tune. >> many palestinians forced from their homes, and dozens killed in israeli airstrikes. could we see a third uprising as palestinian anger grows? this is "inside story." hello. welcome to the program. tensions have been simmering for weeks in occupied east jerusalem. monday, the situation took a dangerous turn when israeli police stormed a compound injuring hundreds of palestinians. armed group hamas responded by firing rockets into israel, which in turn sparked the airstrikes. at least two israeli women were killed by the rockets. hamas had warned it would act when israeli police used rubber bullets,

out of the united nations thank you for talking to our. thank you so much thank you so much for having me. on counting the cost of china's navy and its maritime militia dominate the south china sea as the u.s. lost control could the pandemic usher in the 4 day work week and environmental racism opposition grows for us despite. counting the calls on al-jazeera. well if we cannot have palestina my government was certainly not allow britain to control the french palestine would be an outrage but then we need to find another solution before we come to blows 100 years ago britain and france made a secret deal that would influence the shape of the middle east for centuries to come and so. now we can during the. psychs speak out lines in the sand on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. it's just gone 1500 hours g.m.t. hello i'm come out santa maria welcome to the news hour on al-jazeera. patients dying overflowing a vaccine program in chaos we report on the hopeless condition of the people in india as code cases approach 20000000 or so in the news tra

nation particularly the u.n. forces they have been operation that's been successful now look at the force that of us you know not peed the f. i mean the force of the force of the russian brigade starting 2012 and when you add african missions coming together tons anea send the troops of africans and the troops just up to and $23.00 rebels that were successful in doing so these forces came under the umbrella of the united nation and there are many things that it would have done more if that were not under that right now we see the nicholas president as an i dream and military agreement we can yet succumb and deal with the issue of the rebel forces we see also a call for africa all these military solutions are worrying the people of the east in beginning and with them but people have been massacred for decades 'd in that region in 2018 really the 'd it percent all while we are even talking about governance in the city in the election happened someone was declared the winner of the election felix just a k.t. he's no

there is spin in action of course on on on the international community sage even at the united nations early on sunday no no comments no unity no statement from the united nations how do palestinians feel about that and you know when you talk about them taking action what do you think this action is going to achieve concretely yes we've seen protests in support of palestinians in gaza and elsewhere protest against israeli occupation but what do you think that's going to achieve realistically when the israeli supporters the biggest supporters of israel the u.s. namely still are siding with them. you know i am the child of palestinian refugees one of whom has already passed away without ever being able to see his native land again and i can tell you now as a palestinian in the diaspora that what matters to me most is not what i think sitting here in ohio but what palestinians in the occupied lands of historic palestine think and what they think and what they have been saying for more than a decade now is that the international community needs to hit the streets as we did here in america

implement relevant united nations resolutions and. reconfirm more support to the 2 state solution it's obvious without a chast settlement of the palestinian question there will be no true peace in public stand israel that's well as in the wider middle east region and for. security council president for demands of may try and i will continue to push this occurred a council to take prompt actions and to speak. as more now has pointed out a few minutes early we must take actions and in the current crises and to do especially with the new political dialogue and china will continue to work closely with now we tunisia and other members to seek for the adoption of a statement at the security council and we have announced about that and we will continue to work closely with all the security council members we sincerely hope doubt all members. are efforts for that i think you. the line myself to the joint statement made on behalf of china tunisia and norway and made by an ambassador muna p.r. of norway and they would like to read a few words a

and then the united states run interference at the united nations by using its feet to more than 40 times to veto over to block resolutions that would hold israel accountable at the united nations. so in effect, the united states is complicit and is responsible for the fact that nobody can hold israel accountable for its behavior. and that has to change, and we are seeing that it is beginning to change without energy and the democratic party. now, with the discourse shifting substantially within the united states, more celebrity, speaking out in defense of palestinian rights and members of congress now from from president biden's own party, demanding that he holds israel accountable and have a different kind of politics. is that criticism going to have any kind of lasting effect? is it really good to be able to shift a long standing us policy? i mean, just public opinion matter. public opinion certainly matters. i mean, there is, look, there is a ship that we are witnessing before our eyes, and it's part of the reason why president biden started out with this round of conflict by insistin

from july 27th, 1953, the united states general mark clark, as united nations commander signed a treaty ending hostilities that began in 1950. in french indochina, communist guerrillas infiltrated north vietnam. despite u.s. aided arms and supplies, france had to accept an armistice, yielding control of the colonies to the communists. south vietnam, cambodia, laos and thailand faced a threat from the communist dominated territory. to counteract that threat, secretary of state john dulles was instrumental in organizing the southeast asian treaty organization uniting australia, new zealand, pakistan, the philippines, thailand and the united states in a defensive alliance against communist aggression. in the middle east, a crisis erupted when the suez collateral was nationalized by egyptian premier abdul nassar. see hoax were scott as barricades, the canal was close to british, french and israeli ships. israel invaded egypt while england and france enten a military expedition to seize the canal zone. russia proposed a soviet american force to restore order. a secretary dulles prevailed to

nations because as you said they met on sunday the united united nations security council met on sunday and so far the u.s. has blocked at least 3 attempts by the u.n. security council to release some sort of joint statement on the situation in gaza but i understanding is they are once again holding discussed discussions on the situation in israel and palestine and we are expecting some sort of a live event some live statement from them again what are your thoughts on the un s c do you think they can do anything when it comes to this conflict between palestine and israel or is it just talking heads essentially. what's happening is they have failed the last 70 years you know we lost count of how many times of general assembly have passed resolutions about actually director of the church how many times have the u.n. security council passed resolutions about the occupied territories as. under the 4th geneva convention were internet.

are under the umbrella of the united nations. right now we see the congolese government has a military agreement with the rebel forces. all these military solutions are wearing the people in the east. there have been massacres for decades in that region. it's essential while were talking about governors and drc, the president of congo, while were discussing if his government can actually live. in 2018, the people did not vote. the reason the government did not allow them to vote is because they say there was no security in the cities. these people for decades have suffered tremendously. they have a particular worry. their number one where is will this state of siege, as a military power, when you have human rights abusers, they are in the military. they are former rebels of yesterday. now they are the ones ruling. what will be the checks and balances for that? the voice of the congolese is not heard. we come up with more and more issues happening. it's been a problem for the congolese since 1968. when they try to be involved in t

the united nations general assembly gathered to address the fighting between israel and gaza. meeting was led by the un secretary general. fighting is left thousands of palestinians, homeless and forcible with $50000.00 people, believe their arms and seek shelter. the wound was schools, mosques, and other places with little excess to water, food i gene or l services. i was already fired by report that 9 members of one family were killed in all shot the refugee camp. if that he's a hell or nurse. it is the lives of children in gaza today. speaker after speaker condemned what they called, the disproportionate israeli strike that killed more than $200.00 palestinians and left 1000 displays in the face of such international criticism ways relevant, bassett, or to the un was combative. every speaker here today that failed to unequivocally condemn come us, that fail to distinguish between come months of war, crime and israel. self defense the choosing to demonize these rather than supporting its heroic efforts to dismantle. how much is terry infrastructure is only strengthening extreme. it

nations peacekeeping force which just mention moscow has been there for 2 decades. and still we're at this position where there's a state of siege now is there any way that the united nations or any international organization without a political solution can help the humanitarian crisis that's unfolding or is a politics 1st then humanitarian i think i mean it is undoubtedly a chronic crisis that's been going on for more than 20 years i think that humanitarian response is very much addressed in the corridors and the result of the conflict but it doesn't the address the root of the conflict need a political solution and that is unlikely to be found within 30 days let me what do you what do you need in order to be able to provide a humanitarian solution what are your needs right now. obviously finance is one of the huge challenges in a context like congo which has been ongoing for so many years and we face a situation of donor fatigue so currently when we're already 4 months into the year the humanitarian response plan for the the annual appeal for congo is funded only

as to the united nations we are open to and supportive of a discussion and open discussion. at the united nations i think we're looking at at early next week this i hope will give some time for the diplomacy to have some effect and to see if indeed we get a real deescalation and can then pursue this at the united nations in in that context. i don't have anything to to offer on whether there is a iranian involvement or not in what's taking place but i would only say that. when it comes to any of the malign activities that iran may or may not be engaged in whether it is support for terrorism whether its efforts to destabilize of other countries whether it is other actions that we find objectionable that only underscores the importance of doing everything we can to make sure that iran never acquires a nuclear weapon on iran with a nuclear weapon or with the capacity to have on very short order is an iran is likely to act with even greater impunity when it comes to. these other other actions so. the. talks go on in indiana and in an effort to see if we can return to usual compli
