to u.n. members as well as an example of a failure to fulfill obligation as the host country of the world are. a good thing is that we hear that. a lover of russia's foreign ministry who is leading the russian delegation at the u.n. general assembly is going to address this issue at his meeting with. his secretary of state maybe there will be some explanations. are there any other cases though when when foreign delegations have problems entering the u.s. oh yeah of course you have those thoughts for the 1st time and even during the 74th session we heard from teheran that several members of the rat in delegation were north american so we know that the iranian leader mr rouhani and the foreign minister mr if i go into a time general assembly there delegation is dramatically cut and if you are going to yeah but i mean if you think about it that's a huge thing because the u.n. general assembly is an annual event it's a huge platform and if you do a geisha is cut by have i mean of course you work

the u.n. and the korean peninsula have the same goals of sustaining peace. i'd like to pay tribute to the endeavors of the secretary-general to sustain peace throughout virtual cycle of peace and development. distinguished president, secretary-general and representative from member states, the commitment of the u.n. to appease all people will certainly bear fruit. the world is joining forces to help each other in disaster and emergency relief cooperation as well as in peacekeeping efforts. the u.n. must continue to play a central role in fostering cooperation within the international community. the republic of korea is a country that has benefited immensely from the u.n.. it was liberated from colonial rule in the year of u.n. inception. it was able to overcome the urge of war with the assistance of the u.n. and international community caring responsibility with the progress it has made. korea is now working together with international community to bring about peace and prosperity in east asia

on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly u.s. president donald trump has praise egypt's leader abdel fattah saying he has brought order to his country this follows days of a rare anti-government protests in several egyptian cities human rights activists say the police have rounded up more than 400 people in response to the rallies against. the prison you will always find something like this in our region especially with political islam there has been an effort for many years to make sure that this political islam has a role on the political arena however at this part of the world will remain in a state of instability and as long as political islam is there you know i'm not i'm not concerned with. egypt has a great leader highly respected his broad order before he was here there was very little order there was chaos so i'm not worried about it. and dozens of people have been killed at a wedding party in afghanistan during an anti taliban raid backed by u.s.s. strikes the operation by afghan forces happened in the most a kind of re

resolutions by the u.n. security council because the u.n. security council relies on its member states to enforce them but obviously there's such a long list of sanctions against north korea some countries do not have the resources to check every ship at every ports. that oversight and to go with these sanctions and there's no actual punishment for not for countries like germany not to fulfill the sanction but obviously as i said it's a question of variability they have to remain credible at the international stage and these sanctions were absent yet agreed on unanimously so member states really committed to these sanctions against north korea. on hammerstein thank you very much. too young too old too short too tall too thin too fat people in the public eye face so much scrutiny for the way they look tell me about it especially if they don't conform to regional or physical stereotypes now one theatre company in india is out to prove it's possible to be proud and plus sized the. well. that was really. my big fat was. standing up to prejudice
