members of the u.n. security council actually plan on doing about this well what has happened is that a week ago the u.n. security council met this spate exact issue and passed a resolution condemning the practice of slavery generally saying that more must be done to combat it for france this was not enough so france and other members decided to call this emergency session that is happening now to find ways in which to address the issue france clearly thinking that more needs to be done then just a simple statement from the u.n. security council they've got to explore ways in which to and not only the practice of slavery in a country like libya but also all those factors that lead to it in other words the causes the issues of forced migration of refugees fleeing conflict or poverty in their countries and of course the answer on the other side of the european union for example putting new restrictions on refugees and those immigrants trying to get in or get out of conflicts earns the whole argument being that what is happening in libya is a direct consequence of a mass of other fo

fifteen minutes or so but before that he spoke to the u.n. security council now he's left their meeting they are still meeting as we speak and i'm sure that warning will concentrate minds everything they say at the u.n. is gauged in terms of not just its effect in terms of the humanitarian situation but also in terms of the political and diplomatic situation it's worth telling you that mr low cost spoke on monday to member states of the united nations then he was very very careful with his language and said i need to be careful because i'm addressing the security council on wednesday between now and then i need to speak to keep parties about the situation keep parties i'm sure he meant saudi arabia it's worth telling you also that the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists spoke in the last few hours to the saudi foreign minister it's pretty clear to me with a bit of deduction that in those calls the u.n. said well look we could say this we could put forward the never travel effects of what you're doing with this total blockade not allowing any aid in and we can explain it to th

u.n. security council met today to talk about the humanitarian situation and you know what we said which which i feel very strongly about is that the u.n. security council already has a mechanism for sanctioning people in yemen who are committing growth violations and one of those violations is the obstruction of humanitarian assistance so what we're saying is ok u.n. security council you already have means in place to make it very clear to the parties to the conflict be it the saudi led coalition or the self or sense that if they obstruct aid there will be clear and concrete consequences and far past time they did so because you have people in the governments of us or the u.k. or france sort of issuing road recitations of concern but not actually following up on that so it's not enough for the u.k. with us to say we're worried about famine in yemen at this point it's up to the members of the u.s. military council and particularly those allied with saudi arabia to be using all the leverage at their disposal to be pushing these people to actually make changes to the ways in which th

. official but as our diplomatic editor james pace supports the u.n. security council has struck a different tone after three days of quiet diplomacy with saudi arabia the u.n. is now changing course laying out the scenario if the blockade of yemen isn't lifted. there will be a famine in yemen. he will not be lying in the famine that. we saw in south sudan earlier in the year where tens of thousands of people are affected he will not be like a family in which cost two hundred fifty thousand people their lives in somalia in twenty eleven. it will be the largest famine the world to see if i'm a need to educate with millions of victims. the response from the security council seemed very guarded the current president the italian ambassador read out a statement strongly condemning the missile fired by the. but barely mentioning the country responsible for the blockade. you have strongly condemned the missile by the who think he's given mr local tax dire warning isn't it now time to strongly condemn the country that is blockading yemen not allowing the humanitarian aid in saudi arabia. t

u.n. security council to back the renewal of the international inquiry into chemical attacks in syria he says it's critical to prevent president bashar assad from using the weapons ever again the fifteen nation council is due to vote shortly on rival u.s. and russian bids to an international inquiry i'm joined now by al-jazeera is diplomatic editor james bays from u.n. headquarters in new york james what are we expecting to happen in the next hour. well in about fifteen minutes time the u.n. security council is supposed to meet there is certainly an atmosphere of tension right now ahead of this meeting which could see some drama and also a moment of some significance for syria what it looks likely we're going to see is two competing u.n. security council resolutions put to the vote this is the u.s. resolution it wants to continue as is the case now of the inspection mission looking into chemical weapons in syria and has already found that they've been used both by eisel and by the syrian government this is the rival resolution from russia that talks about continuing the mission

u.n. security council so we'll have to see how it plays out but we have been here before there'd be numerous missile launches numerous emergency sessions at the united nations security council what is likely intense discussion perhaps a resolution condemning the latest launch but what you may then see is the major powers sitting down talking once again about how to create a new set of sanctions that there is complete unity on there cannot be a split in the security council on those they will be looking for some kind of united position mike hanna thank you very much jim walsh is a senior research associate at the massachusetts institute of technology's security studies program he's one of a handful of americans who have traveled to both iran and north korea for talks with officials about nuclear issues he says there are limited opportunities when gage met with pyongyang. we had two months of no test two glorious months notice and so if something was going to happen that would have been the time but once you start having tests and sanctions and doesn't sanctions and then the u.s. and

military is entirely appropriate and would be pushing for that at the u.n. security council in terms of targeted sanctions we understand that parts of the state department are actually working on targeted sanctions and trying to identify various different really military commanders were in the field in rakhine state as well as the chain of command they're trying to get more information from us and others about who these people are and to then figure out whether they can perhaps see the list them under as a specially designated national. sanctions act in the u.s. or possibly looking at global magnitsky sanctions i think both of these are entirely appropriate but the key thing right now i think is to show that the world community is unified against the atrocities that the burma army has committed and that starts with a global arms embargo that starts with you know really sending this military back into the pariah status that it had during the military governments and you know once again making sure that the top commanders of the army understand that nobody is accepting their version of ev

what was said at the u.n. security council does not mean that it will bring north korea back to any negotiating table and to its latest myside don't want to move to be the most advanced so far what all the options from washington to deal with what many of you as a major security threat and north korea's always been described as the land of bad options and this is no exception the u.s. doesn't have a lot of options right now of course there always is this factor of america launching a preemptive military strike something that the trump administration alludes to invade terms but that certainly is something that south korea does not want to see president moon has said that if the u.s. were to consider preemptive action it would have to go through seoul first. and it is certainly something that has resonated with the south korean people normally south koreans are fairly apathetic to what happens with north korea whatever north korea says or launches a missile but ever since president trump came to power there have been many more conversations here about what's going to happen if if trum

korea if necessary so looking ahead to the u.n. security council cathy it seems that you know these meetings have happened before that the international condemnation by and large is is the same thing every time isn't a reason to think that something is going to be different or that it will somehow affect what north korea does. well it seems from what south korea's president has said that he said that there is that there is the international community rather has no choice but to continue the sanctions and pressure campaign that has been mounting now when you hear words like no choice but to impose sanctions that sounds like a tough threat but at the same time it also admits it seems that there are no other options except to continue these sanctions and pressure we hear about the united states leaving open the possibility of military action that certainly is on the table in the background but that is not something that the south korean president wants to see when we see the south korean military carrying out these life fire drills they're very much the last resort because korea's pres

say that mr local certainly hasn't confirmed that in the briefing to the u.n. security council and it's worth telling you to aid in port is something that's entirely cooked controlled by the saudi led coalition so it's not at all clear what they hope to achieve by stopping aid coming in there in the first place because they could have inspected anything that came through that port you know and yet the u.n. and aid groups like dr orders have not been have not been able to get their aid their flights into the country for the past few days what can the u.n. do about it. well i think we're not going to see any action coming out of this meeting there's no good it not we think going to be any formal statement by the u.n. security council no formal action no solution we will at the end of the meeting here from mr local humanitarian chief reporters will get to ask him questions about the gravity of the situation and whether the saudis are showing any inclination to lift the blockade we'll also hear we think from the italian ambassador who's the current president this month of the u.n. secu

sanctions at the u.n. security council just reinforces young's. ideology that it is alone in the world that hostile enemy nations are out to get it in particular the united states and it only causes the north korean regime to. make more inroads with its own people it gives the regime legitimacy to have sanctions placed on it so what was said at the u.n. security council does not mean that it will bring north korea back to any negotiating table and to its latest myside don't want to believe to be the most advanced so far what all the options from washington to deal with what many view as a major security threat. and north korea's always been described as the land of bad options and this is no exception the u.s. doesn't have a lot of options right now of course there always is this specter of america launching a preemptive military strike something that the trump administration alludes to invade terms but that certainly is something that south korea does not want to see president moon has said that if the u.s. were to consider preemptive action it would have to go through seoul fir
