nations general assembly, your excellency, secretary-general of the united nations, excellencies, members of delegations, ladies and gentlemen. may the peace, blessings, and mercy of god be upon you. this year marks the 73rd anniversary of the nakba. more than half of the palestinian people were uprooted from their land and disposed of their property. myself, my family, and many others still possess the deeds to our land. these deeds are registered as part of the united nations records. here is that deed. and many palestinians carry theirs as they still carry the keys to their houses to this day. nevertheless, we have not been able to recover our property due to israeli laws that disregard international law and united nations resolutions, which affirm the right of the palestinian refugees to return to their homeland, recover their property, and receive just compensation. most notably as enshrined in resolution 194. in contrast, israel, the occupying power, enacts laws and holds court hearings to displace palestinians into our neighborhoods in jerusalem, which can only be characterized und

of the united nations. however, the ethiopian foreign ministry is double down issuing a new statement, giving more details of what it says is the meddling by the 7th staff in internal affairs. it also says that a discussion of the issue by the un security council would be a blatant violation of its national sovereignty. but that discussion has taken place a closed session of the security council coming as it is now october under the presidency of kenya. a neighbor of ethiopia that has close relations with the country, i asked kenya's ambassador whether by its actions, ethiopia, now risk becoming a pariah state. the kenyan government in our delegation, certainly is, is not considering a questions about perio state or what the response of the philippine government is . we are considering all the statements, including some of the communications or from the foreign ministry by twitter. and we are con tenant to actively be informed and trained to be responsive to the situation as it was. but we have every hope t

the united nations says nearly 80 percent are now poor. that's $3000000.00 people, but the only thing, maybe i'm to sub angel, not that my monthly salary is now worth $70.00. it's not enough to buy food for 4 days. the government has been promising to give us cash assistance, but it never happened. the humanitarian community has stepped in to provide vital support in a country made nearly bankrupt by decades of corruption and mismanagement. united nations statistics tell the story of growing hardships like 1000000 people in urgent need of aid, including food. for the 1st time ever in the history of labor alone, you have 36 percent o x to lean forward. you know extreme. what we're to is not anything. it's really something that never happened. never ever happened a long before. it's not only lebanese who have been affected by the economic crisis, the living conditions of 850000 syrians registered as refugees by the u. n. r. rapidly deteriorating a year ago, just over half lived in extreme poverty. now it's 9 out of 10, nearly 50 percent don'

the united nations makes its strongest move yet, but stops short of condemning the military. and goodbye facebook, hello metta. well a corporate name change tackle the social network's problems? ♪ anchor: hello and welcome to the program. our top story, u.s. president joe biden says he believes he has secured enough support for his signature one point seven $5 trillion spending package. he took the step of meeting with senators on their own turf at the capital to urge them to back the economic climate focus to build. ann fisher reports on this from the white house. reporter: it has taken months of negotiation, but joe biden now believes he has a framework for his signature piece of legislation. he went to capitol hill to sway any last-minute doubters, wanting his party to take the wind. the bill does not deliver all of that he wanted. it has been trimmed down from $3.5 trillion to $1.75 trillion. he has lost free community college, paid family leave, a drive on prescription drug prices. the president is convinced this will help the u.s. recover from the economic sharp from

the, the united nation commission into that unit camp secretary and the special preventative of the u. s. security general. without a statement saying that the 2 sides should return to the constitutional declaration . that's the power sharing agreement that was signed between the forces of freedom and change collision and the military on august 2019. so there are efforts to try to bring back the 2 sides, the military and the, and the force of freedom, a change coalition to return to that constitutional declaration. let's not forget that when general hun made the announcement on monday, he said that he was committed to that, that the, to that power sharing agreement with the exception of a few articles. but those are crucial articles, articles that states the formation of the sovereignty council, which is shared between the military and the civilians. the executive cabinet, which was headed by prime minister, albert ham dog and the rules. and the authorities of those councils as well as counseling, as well as bringing back, bringing back the transition military council. the all of the

and the united nation sets on different occasions in 20142017. before the un human rights treaty bodies asked to either amend or repeal personal laws like that this abominably law that terminal personal laws. but also the muslim loss. and, but the interesting thing now is that international human rights law is ra, they use as a trojan horse, introduce, sing the leaves, legal hedge, many that is now playing, and pend us towards the electoral bass. in a country serene. usually when you want to sell a lot of the people already what you want to win the house, a mind you bring about someone who can build bridges, the choice of go go that to you. and sarah has been absolutely controversial from day one. why do you think there was a pastor is putting the bunk to to leave this committee? ah, because i think i get much as politics this now it's about for looking at the most in sentiment. and that is the only way forward for them to continue with this country right now. countries almost collapsing with regard to economy. the constituency that elected raja

states -- united nations officials. this applies from one state to another state. it is contrary to obligations under the charter of the united nations. reporter: the ethiopian foreign ministry has tumbled down issuing a new statement giving more details of what it says is the meddling by the seven staff in internal affairs. it also says a discussion of the issue by the un security council would be a blatant violation of its national sovereignty, but that discussion has taken place, a closed session of the security council under the presidency of kenya, a neighbor of ethiopia that has close relations with the country. i asked kenya's ambassador whether by its actions ethiopia no risks becoming a pariah state -- now risks becoming a pariah state. >> is not considering questions about a pariah state or what the responsibility of government is. we are considering all statements, including communications of the foreign ministry, and we are continuing to actively be informed and trying to be responsive. we have every hope th

i saw this threat plainly at the united nations. the u.n. is a place where dip amounts from all over the world gather and exchange pleasantries. [laughter] ms. haley: socializing is encouraged and confrontation is discouraged. on the surface, everyone plays nice. but just underneath the surface it is very different story. a very ugly story. at the united nations and in the world at large, the unfree countries outnumber the free countries. they do truly evil things and get away with it. when it is time to vote and condemn them, a majority of the world usually takes their side. it sickens me to think about what those countries do. and how many times the united nations refused to hold them accountable. in syria, a brutal murder with chemical weapons against women and children. in north korea, a tyrant expands his nuclear arsenal while starting his very own people. in iran, theocratic lunatics are building their own nuclear arsenal and growing terrorists -- pink rolling terrorists. in venezuela, a socialist tater crushes freedom and tortures pro

united nations reform. you have a scenario, for example, where the security council has a 5 permanent members giving then a greater power than other members of the united nations. is this a problem and is it's a soluble, is definitely a problem. i mean, how do you have a membership organization of over 100 members and 5 have are huge veto and immense power. and it's a clear invitation to transformation and democratization. and i think this should be addressed. this is what sub africa and the african continent has been arguing for, for some years. we're not saying we have the solution, but we are saying a current format is undemocratic, yet that the solution to, to the cern. lack of balance within the united nations once again would appear to lie with those who are profiting most from it. it's very difficult for other countries like south africa to be able to introduce the type of reform that would transform the united nations into a more democratic body than it is at present. well, one of the lessons i lear

she joins us now from the united nations. kristen, as we've been saying this was a shed your meeting, but given the lack of a statement from the security council on the crew, when they met about emergency meeting yesterday, presumably that might get discussed today. it doesn't. those seem like there's very much consensus there on the security council. this is true, an emergency meeting was held behind closed doors yesterday. no formal statement came out of that, but we know that negotiations have been going on behind the scenes here to try to get the council to agree to some form of a statement in response to the qu. ah, the ah, in response to the coo and the discussions are ongoing in the backdrop to this meeting. we did hear from the security council president, ambassador kamani going into the meeting. and he said that this latest move by the african union should spur the council a to action. we know from comments outside of the counsel yesterday that russia was a bit reluctant to weigh in on the debate just yet. while coun

at the same time, the united nations need to stop the influx of guns coming from the united states. host: this is in the news right now. you've many americans and canadian. haitians have to deal with this reality every day. >> of course. this is not an issue that is solely going to be resolved. we talk about the last number of decades, billions of dollars to train the national police. it is a bit insane to think more money going to the national police is going to solve this problem. you have to get to the roots of the problem which is these are not necessarily independent actors. our groups have political patrons, private-sector. going after these networks of support would be a far more effective way than funneling more resources into a police institution which has been part of the problem. that is exactly the issue. we have a police force that's politicized, that model has failed. it's a it's clear the vast majority of weapons entering haiti are from the united states. control of the ports, when you look at what the international community can do, but the u.s. can do, enforce your

we really ho -e to the united nations. we really hope to achieve _ the united nations. we really hope to achieve that - the united nations. we really hope to achieve that dream. l hope to achieve that dream. thank you forjoining us in delhi. final approval has been given for the football club. a consortium including saudi arabian backers to run the club, but serious questions have been asked about the change of ownership. because of the system criticism of saudi arabia and its record on human rights. the charity amnesty international had urged the premier league to change his criteria in assessing the suitability of club owners. it's one of the most controversial deals in premier league history, but for many fans, a cause for celebration. these the scenes at st james's park today, after news that a £300 million saudi—led takeover of newcastle united was finally complete. how are you feeling? fantastic, thank you. the businesswomen who fronted the bid, amanda staveley, who will have a minority stake, told me it will be tra nsformative for the club. we think that newca

from united nations christian salumi. now in our, the headlines a israel is approved plans for almost $3000.00 you illegal settlement units in the occupied westbank will be the 1st to be built under the premonition of tale bennett, the u. s. is deeply concerned about the plans, annual hot prospects for a 2 state solution. settlements are illegal on the international law, but israel rejects this is deborah im has mo, from nobliss and the occupied west bank was a number of units approved. and wednesdays meeting may not be as large as it was during the era of the u. s. president donald trump, for palestinians. one settlement unit is one unit too much. we're standing here in front of the legal israeli settlement of a lead has been here since the eighty's and it has been expanding, has been connected to other illegals. israeli settlements an israel with a network of roads, transportation, it has access to electricity and water, and it has also prevented past indians from accessing their lands. we're not just talking about the

and if we sent him to the united nations and, and make the case, people will believe him. you know, cheney and rumsfeld them, bush and rice had been talking for months about mushroom clouds and weapons of mass destruction. and they weren't getting a whole lot of traction. but the decision was that power was the most credible, a sort of weapon they had. mom and dad called palin and said we want you to do this . and you know, pals, a chain of command guy agreed to do it. but said, i, you know, i will say what i want to say. and i will examine the evidence. cheney's folks sent over a script for him to read and he thought it was completely over the top. it was every bit of questionable and ambiguous evidence. they had all put in the worst possible light. and pal and his team went over to the, to the cia and sat there for several days. i mean they, i had about 2 weeks to organize this whole thing and, and cut it back a lot. and pile, i think felt like he had done due diligence. he had come up with the speech for which the. ready evidence was very solid, and he went to the secur

nations, and the united nations in 2014 and 2017, before the you and -- u.n., asked to disavow the muslim laws. the increasing thing now is international human rights law is used as a trojan horse to introduce this legal hegemony that is pandering to the electoral based in the country. hashem: usually, when you want to sell a law to the people or when you want to win hearts and minds, you bring about someone who can build bridges. this choice has been absolutely controversial from day one. why do you think that rajapaksa is putting the monk at the head of this committee? shreen: because i think rajapaksa's politics is about provoking anti-muslim sentiment and that is the only way forward to continue with this country right now, the country is almost collapsing with regards to the economy. he has the buddhist ideal they talked about, one country, one law, is the rajapaksa campaign. the president is becoming very unpopular in the context of that and we see that this is all about anti-muslim rhetoric again. thank you. hashem: when you look at the supporters of the new panel, they will tell y

this is al jazeera ly from doha, also coming up ethiopia, expelled 7 united nations officials. and washington warns it may impose sanctions philippine boxing star money. patio registers his candidacy for next year's presidential election and more than 22000 migrant saw stuck in columbia waiting for their turn to cross a dangerous stretch of jungle into panama. ah, well those stories in a moment, but 1st australia's prime minister has announced that the country will start to ease its 18 month board closure starting next month. it's got morrison says australians will be able to return home and travel overseas. as soon as 80 percent vaccination targets a met. the country had banded citizens from traveling overseas without permission. soon after its corona virus outbreak began, so live pictures they have got morrison making that announcement about the easing a border restrictions into australia more than that in a few minutes. now the united states has just averted a government shut down a stop gap funding bill has been signed into law by president joe biden. it passed congress jus

so i know that the united nations mission has renewed its mandates on october 6th. and within that mandate, there is a language about supporting variation and helping a t support itself in terms of government and security. we are hoping that some of those initiatives that we just spoke about about the reinforcing the lease and we are forcing other security are just stuck with us would be part of that. eugenia charles haiti was already faced with a very precarious security situation even before the assassination of president. always. how much worse? how much more has deteriorated since he was assassinated? yeah, this was a notice in the united nation hunter in 2004 during the residential. it's on the 17. ready year every time there's going to be a renewal for many of the un mission b wednesday, always an increase from security issues. a lot of it in a. ready 70. ready year nothing has been done to help a raise the federation of the car, so after 17 years, billions of dollars have been spent in being in the nation. we do not want that. i wish them the one before the h

this is the united nations 10. 3 just weeks to act, to stop a humanitarian catastrophe. that could see at least.

yeah, well the decision is stunning, given that the united nations human rights council board on arbitrary detention just put out a report saying that if anything danziger should be released. because the trial proceedings had shown a lack of objectivity, a shocking lack of objectivity in their words and impartiality. but the judge here in new york, federal court justice loretta prescott pushed back against characterizations by the united nations and danziger supporters. that this somehow was not warranted, but she gave him the maximum 6. my sentence for contempt charges 6 of them relating to a case where he failed to turn over evidence that was demanded by the judge. i. she said that contrary to the way this was painted, danziger had showed a long pattern of neglecting court orders. and because of that, it was important to send a message that decisions and court orders have to be obeyed. and so it was a big disappointment for many of the supporters who had gathered here outside of the court house and clothing environmental groups in human rights groups who had been supporting him and his e

and how many times the united nations refused to hold them accountable. in syria, a brutal murder with chemical weapons against women and children. in north korea, a tyrant expands his nuclear arsenal while starting his very own people. in iran, theocratic lunatics are building their own nuclear arsenal and growing terrorists -- pink rolling terrorists. in venezuela, a socialist tater crushes freedom and tortures protesters. and in china, the communist party is guilty of genocide. genocide that is happening right now at this very hour. yet as we saw when he spoke to the united nations, joe biden can't even call out china by name. make no mistake, our enemies are not just people with a different view about how best to govern. they are barbaric. they want to roll back history to a very dark time. they have spent many years of their strength. and >> >> never great to be angry what they fought for and has more than 2300 americans died for. let's and less than 2 percent were afghanistan at the beginning of the year. we had fewer troops than a dozen other count

james bays al jazeera at the united nations, but u. k. government says it will reduce the amount of sewage dumped into british rivers falling on uproar on social media. last week, a change to the environment bill was proposed in an attempt to cut water pollution, but it wasn't back by enough. m. p.

but in terms of funding, the united nations is actually calling for more funding for sudan. they've got appeal of millions of dollars that's under funded. they say there's 9000000 people in sudan that need some form of humanitarian assistance in whereas the united states is talking about cutting off funding funding that would go to the government . the united nations is talking about needing more funding to help out what is looking to be an increasing demand for assistance on the part of the people they are given. the strife that the country now finds itself in or i, kristen, thank you very much. was staying with the sudan, lead sir, bringing raga. mccauley. she's a political commentator, an editor of the book series african arguments. thanks for joining us. oh, thank you for. first, the, all you in touch with people in sudan, can you give us a sense of what's going on on the ground, particularly given these developments of the prime minister has now been allowed to return to his residence? well, the situation remains the same. there is an intermittent internet availability,

those christian salumi live of the united nations on the situation in pseudo. ah, we're just days ago before a major climate conference, the u. n. is warning the promise is already made to cut emissions aren't enough. even with many countries setting new net 0 emissions targets. it's forecast a cut in greenhouse gases, around 7 and a half percent by 2030. but the report says emissions actually need to be cut by 55 percent in that time. if there's any hope of sticking to the 1.5 degrees celsius, increase the supposed to stave off the worst effects of climate change. the report says there is a 60 percent chance temperatures will rise by nearly double that $2.00 degrees celsius by the end of the century. and the u. n warns that some nations, including brazil, china and india won't cost at all, emitting more greenhouse gases by 2030 than they did 11 years ago or anger. anderson is executive director of the u and environment program. she says they will hold nations to their promises to cut emissions when at this point right, countries have given in what are referred
