at the united nations in new york, the teenage activist greta thunberg has made a scathing attack on world leaders gathered for a special summit on climate change. around 60 heads of state attended. some very prominent figures stayed away. she accused them of betraying her generation through their inaction on global warming, and said young people would never forgive them if they failed to do more. this from our north america correspondent nick bryant. a sweltering september scorcher in new york city. not much sign of autumn here. and it hasn'tjust been a long summer, but north of the equator, the hottest ever on record. so today, at the riverside headquarters of the united nations, an urgent climate action summit, this global body once more sounding the alarm. the world is losing the race against climate change. applause in this air—conditioned auditorium, the heat came from the 16—year—old swedish activist greta thunberg, the un hoping to harness what is being called the greta effect — her ability to mobilise the young and to shame the old. and, my, how she did that today. t

the united nations general assembly is under way u.s. president donald trump was one of the 1st to address the u.n. in a wide ranging speech he attacked china and its trade policies yet again here's what he had to say. the united states lost $60000.00 factories after china and did the w.t. . this is happening to other countries all over the. the world trade organization needs drastic change the 2nd largest economy in the world should not be permitted to declare itself a developing country in order to game the system at others' expense. for years these abuses were tolerated. ignored or even encouraged. lobel ism exerted a religious pull over past leaders causing them to ignore their own national interests. but as far as america's concerned those days are over. well let says. diplomats are get so robert james bases that the un for james we've been hearing from the president trumps china stern words for beijing but still keen to seek a trade deal. yes i'm in pretty much the position we've seen in recent months from the president what seemed

the united states does not seek conflict with any other nation . we desire peace, cooperation and mutual gain when all. but i will never fail to defend america's interests. one of the greatest security threats facing peaceloving nations today is the repressive regime in iran. the regime's record of death and destruction is well-known to us all. not only is iran world's number one state sponsor of terrorism , iran's leaders are fueling the tragic wars in both syria and yemen. at the same time, the regime is squandering the nation's wealth and future in a fanatical quest for nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them. we must never allow this to happen. to stop iran's path to nuclear weapons and missiles, i withdrew the unitedstates from the terrible iran nuclear deal . which has very little time remaining, did not allow inspection of important sites . and it did not cover ballistic missiles. following our withdrawal, we have implemented severe economic sanctions on the country. hoping to free itself from sanctions, the regime has escalated its vi

the united states is not the advocate of any nation, neither is the guardian of any state. in fact, states do not delegate power to attorney to other states and do not give custodianship to others. if the flames of the fires of yemen have spread today, the warmonger should be sought and punished, rather than leveling alsos and grudge against the -- allegations and grudge against the innocent. the security of saudi arabia shall be guaranteed with the termination of aggression to yemen, rather than by inviting foreigners. we are ready to spend our national strength and regional credibility and international authority. he solution for peace in the arabian peninsula, security in the persian gulf, and stability n the middle east, should be sought inside the region rather han outside of it. the issues of the region are bigger and more important than the united states is able to resolve. the united states has failed to resolve the issue in fghanistan, iraq, and syria, and has been the supporter of extremism, talibanism, and daiishism. such a government is clearly unable to resolve
