Democracy. Theres no such thing as a day off for the United Nations. As the Coalition Launches more air strikes against the Islamic State in the middle east, and Health Workers struggle to gain a ground on the Ebola Outbreak in west africa, World Leaders gathered at the u. N. Headquarters in new york city. I. S. I. L. And ebola the primary topics, russia, north korea and other nations addressing the general assembly. Al jazeeras diplomatic editor james bays joins us live from the United Nations. We heard strong words from russias foreign minister earlier, accusing the u. S. Of violating principles of the u. N. Charter. Can you pick it up from there . Absolutely. Sergey lavrov, in his second big speech of the week, a couple of days ago when president obama chaired the meeting, noncontroversial, this hardhitting, saying the coalition against i. S. I. L. Was like previous coalitions done outside the american framework, the bombing in libya, syria and the occupation of afghanistan. Saying it undermines whats been built at the United Nations. He went on in an important passage. Speech talking about terrorism and extremism saying russia warned the world some time ago. Lets listen to that bit of the speech. Translation from the beginning of the arab spring russia urged not to leave it to extremists, and to establish a united front to counter the terrorist threat. We warned against the temptation to make allies with anyone that proclaimed itself an enemy of Bashar Alassad. Be if al qaeda or others. Reporter an important part of the speech from Sergey Lavrov saying, i think, i told you so, to the americans and the others, that since the beginning of the war they warned about terrorism, suggesting that some of those that the u. S. Supported at least with words were now the problem. Lets go to ukraine. The ukranian conflict caused deeper divisions hitting the European Union and the u. S. Against russia. Did lavrov give any indication on how to resolve that . Yes, he did. Basically he wants to go on with what happened already, which is the process negotiated in belarus, the minsk process. This is how he laid out the way forward. Translation russia is prepared to continue to actively promote a political settlement under the minsk process and other format. However, it should be Crystal Clear that we are doing this for the sake of piece and trapping wilty of the you rain tranquility of the ukranian people. Things in ukraine are playing out the way russia could like, because observers believe president petro porashenko had to make concessions in the last week or so, and they have a buffer zone with the rebels basically ceded an area of territory. Theres talk of an autonomous region in that area. All of this i think president petro porashenko had to do because he came to washington asking for military aid. He was listened to and had a speech to a joint session of congress, but didnt get the military help he wanted. James bays live at the United Nations. Joining us via escape. Steven from the university of california at berkeley. Lets talk about Sergey Lavrovs comments. Hes dishing out a lot of critique. What should we make of his comments where he slammed the United States and what he called a popup alliance to fight i. S. I. L. . Its ironic to have foreign minister Sergey Lavrov talk about United States or other powers violating the norms. Russia has been violating one of the Biggest International norms of the polar world over the last year, which is that large powers, great powers do not invade the next territory of smaller neighbours because they can. Thats what russia has been up to. Shes trying to deflect attention from that issue, and trying to pose and make russia the leader of an ain western alliance in the world antiwestern alliance in the world, pushing back against western hodge enemy and hodge enemy. He said ukranian fell victim to the west arrogant policy, saying that the United States and European Union supported a coup that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych in february. Where is he going with this rhetoric, and what does that mean for the future of ukraine . Its nonsense. The coup against Viktor Yanukovych was a product of street protests and a massive uprising against him. President Viktor Yanukovych in ukraine was russias client. He was thrown out of power, and what russia is trying to do now is assert domination over ukraine and ukranian foreign policy. The new president , petro porashenko, is already had to make major concessions on giving eastern parts of ukraine autonomy, giving russia influence. Now russia is going further saying if the ukranian government cosies up to the European Union by signing and implementing an Association Agreement that, russia will hes basically warning restart the war in east ukraine, this kind of war dip loam hassy is what diplomacy is what russia is using. Whether it will work, we are not sure. They are playing a game in Eastern Ukraine. What role f any, does russia have to play in the International Coalition against i. S. I. L. . Potentially it has a role to play, the Russian Security forces are second to the matuni states and the british. If russia pooled their powers, it would be a more effective battle against terrorism. The problem is russia has its own clients and interests the United States and western countries have their own. What russia is trying to do now is back up its ally, which is its main ally, which is the Bashar Alassad regime in syria. United states, of course, does not have good relations with the Bashar Alassad regime, and foreign minister Sergey Lavrov of russia is trying to convince the world that the United States is acting illegally by not consulting with the Bashar Alassad before bombing i. S. I. S. Targets in syria. Arguing about the league ate probably doesnt make a lot of sense to many, but what hes trying to do is buck up russias ally in the region. To the extent that the Bashar Alassad regime is cut in on the task of containing terrorism, that gives russia a bit of a foothold. Theres competition between russia and other powers. At the same time theres room for cooperation because russia and the United States are on the same side when it comes to fighting groups like i. S. I. S. Professor fish from the university of california, berkeley. Its complicated, thank you for walking us through it.

Supporters propose to bring to court the only leader many had known for years. Those that oppose Hosni Mubarak had little faith in the egyptian system. I dont trust the army, why did it take so long.
