Hello the number of people who died from corona virus in the u. S. Has now reached 200000 and on the day that grim milestone was reached President Trump again at the blame on china in an address to the u. N. General assembly he slammed the country for unleashing this plague on the world and response china calls for unity in the fight against covert 19 years our diplomatic editor james. Like all the other World Leaders speaking at the u. N. President speech was prerecorded his words were as controversial as apple. We have waged a fierce battle against the invisible enemy the china virus which has claimed countless lives in 188 countries in the United States we launched the most aggressive mobilization since the 2nd world war Fact Checkers in a country that suffered more than most from cope with 19 unlikely to question those claims as the Chinese Ambassador to the un listened in the General Assembly hall the president intensified his attack on china we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague on to the world china in the early is days of the virus china locked down travel domestically while allowing flights to leave china and infect the world before introducing president xi the Chinese Ambassador made an impromptu intervention complaining about bullying. China resolutely great acts baseless accusation against china his president in a clear contrast to President Trump said International Cooperation was the key to combating covert 19. 19 realize that were living in an interconnected Global Village with a common stake all countries are closely connected and we share a Common Future no country can gain from this difficulties on the taste of billet taking advantage of this tramples in his address the president of france expressed his growing concern about the tension between the worlds 2 largest economies new purpose for the todays world cannot be left to the rivalry between china and the United States regardless of the white in the world that these 2 great powers share regardless of the history that ties us especially to the United States the collapse of the frameworks of our cooperation. That just referenced all of that means we must build a new order from speech was almost certainly the shortest ever given by u. S. President to the un General Assembly just 7 minutes long it was delivered with a machine gun like style of oh there was criticism of iran china was the main target in his sights diplomats say speeches like this do nothing to decrease the polarization on the world stage james pays out 0 at the United Nations and speaking on his way to a rally President Trump said the number of deaths are uncovered 1000 is bad but could have been far worse i think its a shame i think if we didnt do it properly and do it right youd have 2 and a half 1000000 deaths if you take a look at alternatives you could have 2 and a half 1000000 or something there about you could have a number that would be substantially more with all of that being said we should never hurt anybody and you saw my United Nations speech john issue to stop that at their border they should never let this spread all over the world ryan graham is the intercepts washington d. C. Bureau chief he says trump has repeatedly tried to deflect attention from his poor handling of the pandemic. Its notable d that the reason that we know that we cross the threshold the macabre threshold of 200000 deaths. From the corona virus is because John Hopkins University has been tallying those deaths in other words a nongovernmental actor has you know had to do the compiling of the system and share them with the public because the the president has affected really shut down the federal governments ability to cause to collect and then distribute those statistics which which undermines a case that he could reasonably be making about chinas handling of the coronavirus but none of it is going to get through because of who the messenger is. The the goal was so transparent that a lot of legitimate criticisms might get overlooked what President Trump was trying to do here is you know with just weeks left in the campaign and with people already voting was to shift blame away from his handling of the fire number one deflection from the from the very beginning has been to a call of the china virus and beats a point out that he banned travel coming out of china and you know that thats been his go to no matter where we have been in this pandemic the fact that we now know through the bob woodward tapes that that trump as early as february 7th had learned from the Chinese Government that the coronavirus was passing through the air was extremely deadly and extremely contagious undermined you know any attempts that hes going to make to try to shift blame at this late date.

Government has brought in a raft of new restrictions in england the Prime Minister Boris Johnson is warning that life may not return to normal for at least another 6 months. More now from the un General Assembly and irans president has taken aim at the u. S. Accusing it of trying to crush his country the u. S. Is attempting to unilaterally reimpose u. N. Sanctions against iran despite opposition from other u. N. Members has compared washingtons treatment of iran to that of george floyd a black man who died after a Police Officer knelt on his neck so to. All of us across the globe i experience in difficult times however my nation the resilient people of iran instead of enjoying Global Partnership and cooperation is grappling with the harshest sanctions in history imposed in blatant and gross violation of the charter of the you ladies and gentlemen the footage broadcast to the world concerning the treatment of an African American by the us police is reminiscent of our own experience we recognize the feet kneeling on the neck as the feet of arrogance kneeling on the neck of independent nation us. Beggars into iran and says rouhani was keen to convey the difficulties iran is facing. He spoke about the effects of sanctions he actually acknowledged the effects of sanctions he said life under sanctions is tough but life is harder without independence and said that iran wont trade its domestic freedom for foreign intervention and its something thats a dream a common theme throughout president rouhani speech but not only him but through his foreign minister devolves reef and other high ranking officials that is that iran is still committed to the way that 2015 nuclear deal he called it the greatest diplomatic achievement but said that iran doesnt deserve the treatment that its getting he pointed to irans peace initiatives in the region from syria dealing with turkey over the syria issue as well as opposing so damn a sense occupation of iraq but he appealed to the world he said that they must stand up to us. That this was the time to make a choice so in contrast to what donald trump has been saying about iran he is saying that asking people to stand with iran but stand up for what he called was the rule of law because the United States has considers those u. N. Sanctions back in place and iran desperately needs the World Community the countries especially the europeans not only oppose the United States but actually stand up to them and not give in to what the United States considers is the u.

These groundbreaking peace deals are the dawn of the new middle east despite american enthusiasm multiple crises in the middle east where yet again an important highlight as World Leaders gathered for the 75th United Nations General Assembly but its not just unique because of the covert pandemic or the Diamond Jubilee for the world body but for the 1st time speeches by muslim majority states are made after diplomatic relations but established between multiple arab nations and israel as a custodian jordan says it is bound by a special duty to safeguard jerusalem and its nomic and christian holy sites only way towards just time lasting peace must lead to an independent sovereign and viable palestinian state on the june 4th 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital living side by side with israel in mutual peace and security. President trumps version of reality see the decades old conflict coming to an end albeit without palestinian consent israel the United Arab Emirates and bahrain all side a historic Peace Agreement at the white house with many other middle Eastern Countries to come they are coming fast and they know its great for them and its great for the world. Not so great say others because the u. S. Brokered deal doesnt make israel abide by previous u. N. Resolutions english philistine argument turkey will not support any plan that the Palestinian People do not give consent to participation of some countries of the region in this scheme does not mean anything beyond serving israels efforts to a road basic international parameters. There was the 1st arab state to open trade ties with israel in the 1990 s. Which were severed in 2009 after israeli attacks in gaza but unlike some of its neighbors it has not jumped on the normalization bandwagon the more jetted to enter to the slightly well list of the International Community stands helpless without taking any effective steps visibly the israeli intransigence and persistence in occupying the palestinian and arab lands besides imposing a stifling siege on the gaza strip continuing a policy of expanding settlements imposing a fait accompli policy in a flagrant violation of International Legitimacy resolutions and the 2 state solution agreed upon by the International Community its a yearly ritual of strong words from some of the worlds most powerful leaders but this years virtual addresses mean there are no diplomats carrying World Leaders to sideline meetings actually making headway in some of the middle east longstanding issues such as the war in syria the conflict in libya Irans Nuclear saga or the humanitarian crisis in yemen see more than ever.
