me but i think that . if the u.n. be getting out of it down evidence right just looking at the evidence that it has and proud of it in regard to the coalition killing and maiming attacking schools and hospitals then the coalition deserves to be on the list i think from our perspective and violations continue and there's sort of enough evidence to show that even in twenty seven thousand to the period after this reporting period we've documented more airstrikes where there's been very high children casualty tolls we've looked at in twenty seven thousand the coalition hitting school or so from our perspective coalition rightly so deserves to be a u.n. secretary general first as do many in their party to the conflict in yemen deserving to be on the list doesn't always mean you get to make it on the list though several of the un veto power supply coalition members with the weapons kate how much support do you see within the u.n. for this listing. i think there's growing support for this listing within the un and i think secretary general is standing strong in the face of saudi press

to respond to a damning u.n. report that blames its military campaign in yemen for the deaths of hundreds of children. bar and this is al jazeera live from london also coming up. spain apologizes for a violent police crackdown on catalonian secessionists but the political crisis is far from resolved. the nobel peace prize is given to a group whose sole mission is to abolish nuclear weapons and its director is not mincing words. the election of president donald trump made a lot of people feel very uncomfortable with the fact that he alone can authorize the use of nuclear weapons and there's nothing people can do to stop it. or trying to decertify the iranian nuclear deal that moves that could under rattle the entire agreement. fellow saudi arabia's ambassador to the united nations is due to respond to a u.n. report that strongly criticizes its role in the war in yemen according to u.n. figures the coalition was responsible for six hundred eighty three child casualties in twenty sixteen and for thirty eight verified attacks on schools and hospitals and is placed saudi arabia on a b

as well as your case x. prime minister david cameron believe that u.n. peacekeeping mission want to help solve the conflict but actually will just freeze it. and if you look at for instance northern cyprus it's recognize only by turkey it has been existing for half a century like that do you think the same thing could happen to you crane. there's always a risk of that there are a few missions that have been. deployed for years without solution you mentioned cyprus one could mention western sahara i think that is something to be to be avoided but i prefer. a cold conflict than a hot war and so i think for the people in ukraine who are suffering from the conflict having a deescalation of violence would be a net benefit i think at the moment there are deep divisions in europe in the understanding of what european security should be and so i think the fundamental resolution of the conflict is probably in the immediate future very hard to to achieve but in the meantime making a difference in the lives of the poor people were affected by the conflict i think that's worthwhile and i think

u.n. considers when you impose sanctions on any country they consider that war essentially that there will be a hot war that once you apply sanctions it may take decades as in the case of say cuba which is never we haven't had a hot war against them for a while but in terms of the sanctions against russia you and reported last week or the week before about the consequences of that and it's pretty interesting because sputnik news and our website did report on it and no other news in the world did i found it interesting because the headline is exclusive news economic sanctions against russia. the first comprehensive study of anti russia sanctions show they hit e.u. much more than russia so the report was written by algeria's interests just harry who is a un special rapporteur of the negative impact of the universe a lot of old coercive measures so they have a. a section of the u.n. called that the negative impact of the unilateral. corrective course of measures because they consider it an act of war essentially right and you know as we reported on our show because we actually were

the assistance of the u.n., they sponsored elections in south korea and south koreans elected a democratic government. north korea, however, wanted to unite under its terms and so it sent insurgents into south korea to try and overthrow that government and they failed to do so. then, in january of 1950, the u.s. secretary of state dean achison made a significant error. in a speech talking about the areas of influence and positions that were vital to the united states's interest, he mentioned japan and the philippines and omitted south korea. the north koreans interpreted that as a statement that the u.s. wouldn't go to war to defend south korea, and so in june of 1950, armed with soviet equipment and aided by the chinese, the north koreans invaded south korea, and as you can see from our map, they stormed right across the border. the south koreans were largely caught off-guard and unprepared. the u.s. had military forces in japan under our far eastern commander douglas macarthur. the problem was that those troops and their units were badly understrength. the troops were badly tr

period of time but notwithstanding that the fact is that the u.n. you know you can't just cherry pick the u.n. it does a lot of really good things the world food program feeds hundreds of millions of people every year the human rights and the and the refugee organizations do this remarkable job i myself visited recently refugee camps in in jordan and in lebanon so so while i don't like what we did i understand it because it's been going back even before the administration of donald trump but it's not a good idea for the united states to be disengaging from these international organizations we need to be actively participating in them and we give our we give up our leadership in the world by pulling ourselves out if we don't like certain things we're there doing which we don't by the way and the u.n. bureaucracy is sometimes very difficult to manage then the u.s. needs to be as part of the deal not separated from it i mean you mentioned it's not just the trump administration in fairness it was two thousand and eleven when the u.s. council that's budget contribution to unesco becau
