fischer this when you listen to the species of the united nations human rights commission some of the member states are known to be human rights violator then you wonder someone should be disconnected from reality here is that the member states or is it the un us r.c. itself. well there's no question we share the concerns about human rights violators who become members of the the un's human rights council primarily in order to block themselves from from scrutiny we have seen on the human rights council states like and like china like egypt like saudi arabia like venezuela all of course known for systematically violating the human rights of their of their own people and at the same time for the u. mass council just started its thirty seven session and it begins with statements by foreign ministers so it's expected that they will come and try end and to sell the best vision of their country possible even if it's disconnected from reality that's even ends today and it's up to noone will have a panel discussion on the seventieth anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights and

nations does not matter to this man who once called himself the ambassador to the united nations we invited john bolton to try and refute those claims for the spanish thank you very much thank you after the break political prisoners in the european union we get. take of the un's independent experts for designs on the shadows by the spanish civil war and also in this week's news for being with me and i will be looking at the b.b.c. trying to indoctrinate a try in our children how to spell i can use the lights in the long line of benefits scrounger propaganda against us i will be able. to have going underground . to. join me every day on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to give us a little the politics school business i'm show business i'll see you that. seems wrong oh oh just don't call. me. just to stamp out disdain comes to agitate and it. equals to trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. then what i reckon that he will go back to life. for you boys will pull you out of . it and get mouth and they would have it and i didn't do

to the united nations in ourselves. would it go further on and explained borders and i say to my friend. we are asking them to independently verify this. they can be clear to everyone. that nature of the nerve agent. in response the unexplained wealth quarter. on evidence and how we operate according to the rule of law. can i welcome the prime minister's clear statement in the condemnation of the russians in actions that she has taken. now from the government. but can i say from her too much money is being laundered. and finding its way into the british system. they could bring forward the publish register. and has been delayed by this government. so we wouldy know where the money comes from and deal with it if it's brought in by unsavory people. in relation to the issue that she has raised. and that is something that they've discussed with the business actually. we do need to ensure that we get that right when we introduce it. we do want to ensure that we have all of the tools. and they can help us in the endeavor that

but i did not think it will come to play in the united nations. it turns out, bullying is a common practice in the united nations. in the real world, israel is a strong country. with a vibrant economy in a first-class military. on the battlefield, israel does not get bullied. the iranians and syrians conduct for that. [applause] but the un is a different story. at the un and throughout the un agency, israel does get bullied. it gets bullied because the countries that do not like israel are used to being able to get away with it. just like when i was that little girl in south carolina, it just does not sit well with me. [applause] as many of you know one of the un agencies with the worst track record israel is unesco. they have the outrageous distinction of attempting to change ancient history. they recently declared one of judaism holiest sites, some of the patriarch, as a palestinian heritage site. in need of protection from israel. that was enough, 10 months into the administration the united states withdrew from unesco. [applause] there are lot

how else can we expect to combat bias, one-sided and hateful acts of the united nations that not only unfairly target israel but seek to delegitimize the jewish people to their ancestral homeland? it's disgraceful to see organizations and missions of the united nations fail to take actions on war crimes in syria and the gross human rights violations of the iranian regime or the venezuelan regime or the cuban regime but always find time to condemn and target and isolate israel. of course these insid with us efforts to isolate israel from the global community extend far beyond the united nations. now, i dream of the day when we will not have to fight these fights. i pray for the day when we will not have to fight sanction policies by governments and businesses or at the united nations or here at home on college campuses. >> the aipac conference, including this morning's remarks by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to the conference will air later on the c-span networks.

at the united nations, u.n. -- u.s. ambassador nikki haley sided with britain, blaming russia for the poisoning. : russia mustley walk rate with the investigation and come clean about its chemical weapo program. russia is a permanent member of the security council. it is interested in the united nations charter with upholding international peace and security. it must account for its actions. laura: nikki haley speaking there. wiearlier i spok the bbc's nick bryant from the united nations. very tough words from the u.n. ambassador to the united nations, tougher than her boss the white house. what has been the reaction from russia's ambassador? nick: what we heard from nikki haley was the first time a trump administration official has explicly blamed moscow for this attack. earlier in theeek, former secretary of state rex tillerson said it was likely redsia was invo donald trump said he probably agrees with the british finding but hasn't quite concluded yet that russia was to blame. nikki haley did say that, and she said

i look forward to discussions in the united nations. the united nations must speak with a clear and unambiguous point. mr. speaker, the fact that we're expelling the largest number of officers is welcome and examine what can be done to defend against whohostile state activities. i'm pleased that the government is taking action in this area and the opportunity to meet previously, someone that has been personally massive risk and has stood up to the effects of russian state power. mr. speaker, financial sanctions are welcome and we must redouble efforts against any money laundering. it must be clear to the russian authorities that we will not tolerate activities that are under international law. and we'll continue to scrutinize them and must ensure scrutiny of any proposed legislation. our thoughts are with those in russia who have suffered from abuse of state power. there is no doubt that that is what we are seeing. and in doing so, we'll look forward to a time when we can engage in a positive way, but the only response today must be a r

mission the russian mission to the united nations that means they're not accredited to the u.s. government they are actually here as part of a deal between russia and the u.n. and it brings into question then whether it's ok for the u.s. to expel these diplomats or whether it violates an agreement that the u.s. made with the united nations back in one nine hundred forty seven the secretary general certainly is not pronouncing at that on that at this stage and we're told he'll be meeting at this stage and we're told he'll be meeting with various diplomats to discuss this further one of those meetings i understand is happening right now because it's the regular monthly lunch of the u.n. security council all fifteen ambassadors around the table with the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists and that means i think likely that we're going to see nikki haley the u.s. ambassador attending and about the new ben zero of russia so very interesting we won't be able to find out what they say because it's buying closed doors but very interesting to be a fly on that wall and james we

a big diplomatic pressure in the united nations to do this. however my point here is that if we accept the apartheid analysis of this in such a state would be abandoned. it would lack the attributions of true sovereignty it cannot accept any palestinian state that is not abandoned. they would threaten the jewish national character of israel. this means that the state of palestine formed under these conditions would only secure poverty under development. and essentially sustain the conflict itself. a little bit of extra attention is worthwhile. i encourage everybody here to google that and spend 15 minutes. i went to south africa to study this material. i realized i did not understand and i found it fascinating as a comparison to the palestinian authority. the logic. the imperative apartheid wherever it would appear would be to prevent racial mixing. the whole logic and begins to fall apart if you can't discreetly had different populations. there's nothing to defend. within the territories in the south africans call them black black self govern

nations the united nations must speak with a clear and unambiguous clear voice. mr speaker the fact that we are expelling the largest number of undeclared intelligence officers in over thirty years is welcome under the desire to examine what can be done from a ledge of perspective to defend against hostile state activity here as someone who has previously supported the so-called measures i am pleased that the government is signaling action on the syrian and let me commend the actions of bill botha who have had the opportunity to meet previously someone has been personally but massive risk and has stood up to the effects of russian state power here this is because financial sanctions are welcome and we must redouble our efforts against any money laundering by the was responsible it must be clear to the russian authorities that we will not tolerate activities that infringe international law here whilst we support the p.m.'s actions we will continue to scrutinize them carefully and we must ensure proper scrutiny of any new proposed legislation to hear our sots or wi

states was a founding member of the united nations and it is still an indispensable part of united nations and it is inconceivable that the united nations would exist without the united states taking part in it. this creates a problem because this is always the exception. almost every resolution that comes up is being weighed in the balance and nuclear nonproliferation, we saw with grants presentation earlier, the united states is significant for nonproliferation treaty that says nothing apart from what is now the five permanent members and have nuclear weapons and then it condones nuclear weapons in israel. because it does that every other country in the world and eckstein says hey, if them, why not us? you continually create exceptions to your own roles that other people walk into and settlements in particular the us has never improve them but they changed the language so often over the years that as far as the us is concerned jerusalem is international territory in the state department and i believe just showing this about law i read earlier this year that the state department is still

[applause] but the u.n.ley: is a different story. at the u.n., israel does get bullied. it gets bullied because the countries that don't like israel are used to being able to get away with it. just like when i was that little girl in south carolina, that does not sit well with me.

says it's in line with its agreement that it has to be the host nation of the united nations but i think there'll be a disagreement with russia all maps and i think what it will do is further poison relations here at the united nations which have deteriorated so much in recent years particularly after the annexation of crimea are just going to get worse it's going to make it much harder i think for the russian ambassador to sit down with with the american ambassador nikki haley and try and get things done on important issues like syria and yemen we are maybe not quite in the in. days reminiscent of the cold war but it's certainly getting very chilly indeed because it's such broad coordination isn't it by countries throughout the world that it's extraordinary to me if against russia in this quarter naked way. yes and i think this is really going to anger the russian authorities and in particular president putin coming as it does after his reelection the reasons given in the u.s. for the expulsion from washington and from these u.n. diplomats are different from some of the other ones that

she's right to use the mechanism of the united nation to make clear to everyone what has happened. we bear by the in syria, russia has directly or indirectly authorize east of chemical weapons. i may also thank her for the amendment which we been working for for some time. i hope she will give consideration for implementing as it's being implemented in america and canada. >> i think to my friend when it picks up a point from the previous question. it's not just one-act it's a passion of actions there undertaking a variety of ways on their activities. we also see them interfering with elections, these are all the actions that they're getting involved in. in response will bring forward amendments for consideration to ensure that we have got the strongest possible way to deal with these issues. >> we welcome the action that has been taken by the prime minister today. since in contrast with the appeasement we have heard them to the people of the united kingdom agree that the prime minister that it subsumed in the role of law. however she said she spoke into our allies over the last few

well we know that the united nations that agreed well with the russians and with the groups in part of the enclave that they would be able to get some injured people out we're told that about one hundred people have left over the last few hours but the united nations estimates are somewhere in the region of a thousand people who need or didn't need medical treatment and about seventy of them are so argent medical treatment so there's no idea at this stage just how many of that hundred that is in the first batch to leave require the argent medical treatment and obviously the united nations will be hoping that this is just the start of a process which will be ongoing over the coming hours and days no number of people have managed to escape the fighting under their own steam and some of them are in eastern guta along the suburbs of the south and part of damascus and they've been telling people exactly what they've experienced during the onslaught in ghouta over the last few days and we all love though. we were about two hundred people living in a cellar without light or electricity and ve

at the united nations we sometimes don't have many friends. i remember last year, when we had the vote about america's principled opposition to the castro dictatorship in cuba. the vote went against us, 191-2. the only two no votes, you guessed it, were the united states and israel. but i always say quality is more than quantity. shortly after the 2016 election, president-elect trump called me to talk about serving in his administration. we had a meeting at trump tower and we had some good discussions about a variety of issues. long story short, his team called me a couple of days later and said he would like me to serve as ambassador to the united nations. i said i'm a governor, i don't know anything about the united nations. we went back and forth on a few things and the clincher was when i told the president you know i won't be a wallflower or talking head. i have to be able to say what i think. without any hesitation, president trump said nikki, that's exactly why i want you to do this. president trump has been true to his word and i think

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley. and if you watched closely during the negotiations we could see our russian friends constantly leaving the room to confirm with their syrian counterparts. the possibilities for what was going on or only to either russia was informing their syrian colleagues about the content of the negotiations or russia was taking directions from the syrian colleagues about the content of the negotiations now from there we heard the russian representative and he responded with facts he began to lay out details about what's going on in eastern guta as the fighting continues and from there he was somewhat critical of the response that we've heard from the united states and its allies this is the russian ambassador to the united nations. in the state of the present posted so members of the u.n. security council prefer to spend time on passionate speeches and lots of smoke and shaky claims towards russian that's broadwood to come up with their own rwandans to do anything good for the implementation of re

a violation of article two of the united nations charter. the basis of the international legal border. mister president the uk is proud to been one of the states that plays a role in drafting the chemical weapons convention a landmark piece of international law. they had suggested that our response failed to meet the requirements of the convention. article seven of the convention called on state parties to implement the convention under their own legislation. that we are not using article nine of the convention. once it became clear to us that the united kingdom had been attacked. it summoned the russian ambassador and as article nine is clear we have the right to do. we have received no meaningful response. it is therefore russia is failing to comply with the provisions of the convention and this counsel should not fall for their attempt to muddy the water. in addition the united kingdom has welcomed the author of technical assistance. and we have invited the technical secretary to verify our analysis we are making every effort to expedite
