00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:21.359
Thank you for listening to de Pictures
Media Radio. Welcome to Policy and Rights,

2
00:00:22.960 --> 00:01:03.879
the show about government policy and human
rights. Okay, welcome back to

3
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:08.480
Policy and Write here on Depictions Media
Radio. I am your host Michael Cloggs.

4
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:21.079
Well, yesterday there was a agreement
to a resolution to a ceasefire for

5
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:27.120
Palestine, and we're actually going to
hear the stakeout that was done after after

6
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:36.640
that, uh, the vote,
and we'll hear hear what was what was

7
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:45.439
said in that steakout in a little
bit the day after. They're still debating

8
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:53.799
if the resolution is binding, and
we're going to hear arguments about or questions

9
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:59.799
about it. The charter, the
u N Charter, is is it a

10
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:07.960
binding agreement for all countries that are
members? And is a really good question

11
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:20.479
is the resolutions that come out from
the United Nations are they binding for countries

12
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:28.280
to follow? Do they have to
follow them or risk consequences? And what

13
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:37.800
would those consequences actually be. So
if Israel decides that they're not going to

14
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:46.000
stop the mass destruction, that they're
not going to allow land openings into Gaza

15
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:57.879
so that humanitarian efforts can be distributed, because they believe that the Hamasa is

16
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.879
actually taking taking these h amountsnitarian efforts
and distributing to their own people so that

17
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:13.199
they can they can stay well and
not have to worry about and hide from

18
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:24.400
the Israeli defenses. Are they going
to continue? Are they going to continue?

19
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:30.199
Or will they follow the resolution and
stop the destruction and stop the fighting.

20
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:40.000
Will the Hamas turn over the hostages
as well? So there's a lot

21
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:46.080
of questions behind that. Okay,
So moving back to Canada, there are,

22
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.680
of course the government healthcare. There
are a lot of different ways of

23
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:59.800
planning and because each province has their
own set of problems, that each problem

24
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:06.080
these province is in charge of their
healthcare system. Even though it is kind

25
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:12.639
of a universal thing. If you're
visiting the province in your Canadian your of

26
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:23.959
course you'll get equal treatment. So
the Federal Mintors Minister of Health Mark collin

27
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:30.920
he Is, was in New Brunswick
and they were discussing a forty three million

28
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:43.720
dollar plan to upgrade a large number
of systems and services that are available to

29
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:53.720
the residents of New Brunswick, which
is not limited but definitely includes senior care

30
00:04:53.839 --> 00:05:00.639
and mental health, two of the
biggest issues that we see and to the

31
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:11.120
issues that are affecting loved ones in
our society. Mental health, when you

32
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:16.839
look at the homeless populations and some
of the addictions that it's the addiction becomes

33
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:25.439
a symptom of a much bigger mental
health issue that that person may have and

34
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:33.079
what may have also led them to
becoming homeless. To begin with, a

35
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:44.000
senior care where some things are just
simply inadequate, the nursing home situation where

36
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:56.120
you see our seniors being abused.
These are our grandparents and our parents who

37
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:03.920
care for us while we were children
and they are left to abusive people or

38
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:15.199
people who don't have the passion for
caring for the seniors and leave them neglected.

39
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:25.519
So it's good to see a large
number of upgrades come to a province

40
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:33.920
and that will help care for the
residents on many different levels. So mental

41
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:38.519
health and senior care are only two
other things. There are many many more

42
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:46.720
things that they will be actually discussing
and ensuring that people get the level of

43
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:54.160
care that they should have. That
would make Canada healthcare system one of the

44
00:06:54.199 --> 00:07:01.319
best and on our globe. So
we'll hear from from New Brunswick about that.

45
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:09.879
We're also going to hear because there
was a bridge collapse in Baltimore,

46
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:18.199
a tragic accident. A ship lost
control and the Franciscot Key Bridge was struck

47
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:26.480
and after striking it collapsed. There
were some vehicles. They managed to get

48
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:31.720
most of the vehicles off the bridge. There were a few left. And

49
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:38.279
you're gonna hear some statements from President
Brighten about what the US federal government is

50
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:47.319
going to do about repairing the bridge, ensuring that families and their loved ones

51
00:07:47.439 --> 00:08:01.199
are found. Apparently there were some
unaccountable people on accounted for and there were

52
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:09.279
some injuries according to what President Biden
said, But he made a promise that

53
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:16.480
the federal government would actually take care
of the bill of replacing it and then

54
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:26.439
figure out later on the liability that
might be due to the bridge being struck

55
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:33.679
by ship the company that owns the
ship that later on they'll figure all that

56
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.120
part out, he said. The
more immediate problem is to actually get the

57
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:45.759
bridge rebuilt and get the ports that
are connected by that bridge and that are

58
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:54.039
on that river Inlet back in to
action and back doing the job they're supposed

59
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.200
to do. So why don't we
start off with the Baltimore Bridge and then

60
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:15.840
we'll move into new Brunswick and then
the Palestinian ceasefire resolution. The reason good

61
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.559
afternoon. Before I leave for North
Carolina some weber doing a few minutes,

62
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:24.120
I want to speak briefly about the
terrible incident and accident that happened in Baltimore

63
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.039
this morning. At about one point
thirty container ship struck the Francis Scott's Key

64
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.960
Bridge, which I've been over many
many times commuting from the state of delaway

65
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:39.480
our trainer by car Ben in Baltimore
Harbor many times, and the bridge collapsed,

66
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.600
sending several people on the vehicles into
the water into the river, and

67
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.679
the multiple US Coast Guard units was
are stationed very nearby. Thank god.

68
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.919
We're immediately deployed along with local emergency
personnel and the Coast Guard is leading the

69
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.879
response to the port where representatives from
the Federal Highway Administration, the FBI,

70
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.879
the Department Ination in the Army Corps
of Engineers, as well as Maryland officials

71
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:09.080
in Baltimore Police and Fire, they're
all working together to coordinate an emergency response.

72
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.240
Officials that the scene estimate eight people
were an account for, still not

73
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.039
still we're on account for that number
might change. Two have been rescued one

74
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:24.240
without injury, one and critical cognition, and the search and rescue operations continuing

75
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.039
for all those remaining as we speak. I spoke with Governor Moore this morning,

76
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.759
as well as the Mayor of Baltimore, the County Executive United to both

77
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.159
the United States Senators and the Congressman, and my Secretary Transportation is on the

78
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.000
scene. I told them we're going
to send all the federal resources they need

79
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.679
as we respond to this emergency,
and I mean all the federal resources,

80
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:50.399
and we're going to rebuild that port
together. Everything so far indicates that this

81
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.279
was a terrible accident. At this
time, we have no other indication,

82
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.720
no other reason to believe it is
any intentional act to Personnel on board the

83
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.240
ship were able to alert the mayor
Department of Transportation that they had lost control

84
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.440
of their vessel, as you all
know, and reported. As a result,

85
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.519
local authorities were able to close the
bridge of traffic before the bridge was

86
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:15.639
struck, which undoubtedly saved lives.
And our prayers are with everyone involved in

87
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.679
this terrible accident and all the families, especially those waiting for the news of

88
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:24.279
their loved one right now. I
know every minute in that circumstance feels like

89
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.679
a lifetime You just don't know.
It's just terrible. We're incredibly grateful for

90
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.440
the brave rescuers who immediately rush to
the scene and to the people of Baltimore

91
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.440
who want to say we're with you. We're going to stay with you as

92
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.559
long as it takes. And like
Governor said, you're Maryland tough, You're

93
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.919
Baltimore strong, and we're gonna get
through this together. And I promise we're

94
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.679
not leaving. Here's what's happening now. The search and rescue operation is our

95
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.320
top priority. Ship traffic and the
Port of Baltimore has been suspended until further

96
00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:00.600
notice, and we'll need to clear
that channel before the ship traffic can resume.

97
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.080
The Army Corps Engineers is on the
spot and is going to help lead

98
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.679
this effort to clear the channel.
The Port of Baltimore is one of the

99
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:13.679
nation's largest shipping hubs, and I've
been there a number of times as a

100
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.240
Senator and as a Vice president.
It handles a record amount of cargo last

101
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.120
year. It's also the top port
in America for both imports and exports of

102
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.759
automobiles and light trucks. Around eight
hundred and fifty thousand vehicles go through that

103
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.320
port every single year, and we're
going to get it up and running again

104
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.879
as soon as possible. Fifteen thousand
jobs depend on that port, and we're

105
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.960
going to do everything we can to
protect those jobs and help those workers.

106
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.399
The bridge is also critical for travel, not just for Baltimore, but for

107
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.759
the Northeast. Carter over thirty thousand
vehicles across the Francis Scott Key Bridge on

108
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:54.639
a daily basis as virtually well.
It's one of the most important elements for

109
00:12:54.919 --> 00:13:00.120
the economy in the Northeast and the
quality of life. My Transportation secretary is

110
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.320
there now. As I told Governor
More, I've directed my team move heaven

111
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.720
and Earth to reopen the port and
rebuild the bridge as soon as humanly possible.

112
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.799
And we're gonna work hand in hand
with the support of Maryland to support

113
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.399
Maryland whatever they ask for. We're
gonna work with our partners in Congress to

114
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.919
make sure the state gets the support
it needs. It's my intention that federal

115
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.360
government will pay for the entire cost
of reconstructing that bridge, and I expect

116
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.960
the Congress to support my effort.
It's gonna take some time, and the

117
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.840
people of Baltimore can count on us, so to stick with them at every

118
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.559
step of the way till the port
is reopened and the bridge is rebuilt.

119
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.840
You know, we're not leaving until
this job gets done, not leaving until

120
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.200
then. So I just want to
say God bless everybody who are everyone harmed

121
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:54.120
this morning and their families, and
may God bless the first responders. Many

122
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.039
of them are risk in their lives
and I'm gonna reason. I'm not gonna

123
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.799
take a lot of questions. There's
remaining issues that are open, and we're

124
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.679
gonna determine what's going to happen in
terms of the rescue mission all like.

125
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:31.440

152
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.759
as I've indicated, to welcome my
friend and colleague, the honorable Mark

153
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:53.240
Holland, Minister of Health. Mark
was first elected as the Member of Parliament

154
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.799
for Ajax, Ontario back in twenty
oh four, and as the Member of

155
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:02.200
Parliament he served as the Leader of
the Government in the House of Commons.

156
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:06.960
He's also served as the Chief Government
Whip and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of

157
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.960
Public Safety Emergency Preparedness. He's been
a staunch advocate of helping marriage equality rights

158
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:18.160
and played a key role in helping
to reform Canada's animal cruelty laws. In

159
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.359
both private and public roles, Minister
Holland has backed health related initiatives. He

160
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:27.119
has served as the executive director of
the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada's Ontario

161
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:32.880
mission and as well as the National
director for Children and Youth. And I

162
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:34.640
have to say, having worked with
Mark for the past ten years, he

163
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:40.599
is a strong advocate when it comes
to mental health issues and all health related

164
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:44.119
issues. And Mark, we've seen
you work tiresly over the past seven or

165
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.640
eight months and we're truly thrilled to
have you here in Moncton. So without

166
00:17:47.680 --> 00:18:02.640
further Ado, let's give Mark a
warm welcome. Janettes then a mountain and

You know, Dominic and I were seat

175
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:14.160
mates, and dom would talk about
his journey and about the extraordinary doctors and

176
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:18.319
nurses who came to his aid and
his moment of darkness, and we know

177
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.000
he wouldn't be here without you.
And we're going to talk today about the

178
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:27.000
challenges that exist in our healthcare system, but it's so important to take a

179
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:33.319
moment how lucky we are to have
a system that whether or not you're a

180
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.240
minister of the crown or you're somebody
who comes in without a penny in your

181
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:42.880
pocket, you're going to get the
exact same care. The doctors and the

182
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.279
nurses here, the personal support care
workers, what they did for Dominic.

183
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.920
Let me just first of all say, because my good friend is still with

184
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:56.079
us in serving this country, thank
you. And you know I had my

185
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.680
own experience just two weeks ago.
My son was in a terrible our accident

186
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.559
and I was very worried for his
life and he was sent to Sunnybrook where

187
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:11.319
he received extraordinary care. And that
care would have been provided to him whether

188
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.160
or not he was on his own
again without a penny, or he was

189
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.240
the son of a health minister.
So when we're having these incredible challenges.

190
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.839
It's important to remember we really do
have the most extraordinary health system in the

191
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.440
world, and when it's there,
and when it's there, a needed boy

192
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:33.400
to our doctors and nurses and personal
support care workers show up. Cite in

194
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:48.480
in family. It was a time
of challenge and difficulty beyond all reasonable asking

195
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:57.240
uh, and yet healthcare workers in
that moment all came together without without complaint,

196
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:03.400
with a singular focus on helping us
get through that. I also want

197
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.279
to thank you for that. And
you came out of that period and rightfully

198
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.759
expected you were going to get a
break that you know that that view of

199
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:14.640
coming out of the pandemic and all
of that hard work that you were going

200
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:21.279
to be given an opportunity to rest. But backlogs and burnout meant that actually

201
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:25.119
the challenge got bigger, not smaller, and a lot of the stresses that

202
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:41.039
already existed in our health system became
more evident. The system De Sante met

203
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:52.279
Nan made the transfermacon On Thats why
because it's that spirit to me that is

204
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:57.079
so remarkable and shows us what's possible. You know, in that brief moment

205
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.839
in the pandemic when everybody was pulling
all in the same direction, when we

206
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:06.960
set aside jurisdiction and we set aside
partisanship in difference, we were shown how

207
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.759
much could be accomplished in our health
system by working together. And that's certainly

208
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.039
the spirit with which we are here
today, and it shows us what's possible.

209
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.480
And so I want to say to
you that this agreement is a starting

210
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.720
line, not a finish line,
that the investments that we're about to announce

211
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:27.839
and talk about today are the start
of what we need to do to transform

212
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:33.519
our health system, so that you
on the front lines have been working tirelessly

213
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.279
through the pandemic and the days afterwards, can know that each day in front

214
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.160
of you is going to get better
and that our public health system is going

215
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.720
to receive the support that it needs. That's why I'm so pleased to be

216
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:51.000
here today to announce two agreements that
we'll see close to four hundred and thirty

217
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:55.680
million dollars flow into New Brunswick healthcare
system. These agreements are tailored to meet

218
00:22:55.720 --> 00:23:00.519
the unique needs and challenges of New
Brunswick. Together, they represent and an

219
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:06.839
extremely important step forward The first of
these agreements is worth more than three hundred

220
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.759
and thirteen million dollars. It will
increase coordination and just to some examples,

221
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.279
increase coordination and access to primary and
care, which includes investing in mobile X

222
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:21.359
ray programs for nursing home residents to
help reduce the number of transfers and non

223
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:26.480
urgent visits the hospital. It will
support recruitment, retention and training initiatives for

224
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.920
health workers. This will be done
by implementing a practice readiness assessment program to

225
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.480
support the transition of up to ten
international medical graduates into the workforce each year.

226
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:40.920
It will modernize healthcare systems with health
data and digital tools by improving timely

227
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.319
access to both virtual and in person
primary care. It will expand the delivery

228
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.319
of culturally appropriate mental health and substance
use services. And I know that,

229
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:55.200
my colleague Dominica Leblong. We'll have
more to say on that soon. We're

230
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:59.680
also announcing the Aging with Dickney Agreement, providing close to one hundred and seventeen

231
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.400
million dollars over the next five years. This funding will help people in the

232

staff across the entire long term care continuum,

240
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.720
Aligning quality and safety measures across the
long term care sector to prevent premature

241
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:07.680
entry into nursing homes. Together,
these two agreements represent an important step forward,

242
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.519
but mixed with our actions on pharmacare, on dental care, where we're

243
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.960
looking upstream, the work that we
need to do together on interoperability, on

00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:19.079
data on the Safe Long Term Care
Act. I just want you all to

245
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:25.240
know that help is coming and that
the force that you met the challenges of

246
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:29.720
those dark days during the pandemic inspires
all of us to make sure that we

247
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.680
make the changes in our health system, to make sure that we have the

248
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:36.359
best health system possible. I appreciate
the opportunity to be with you here today.

249
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:44.359
Thanks so much. And with that, it is my pleasure to introduce

250
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:48.599
Dominic Leblin, the Minister of Public
Safety, National Security, Intergovernmental Affairs and

251
00:25:48.720 --> 00:26:06.559
Democratic Institutions. It's got a few
jobs there who Mark. It's for Geanette

252
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:11.599
and me to have our friend and
colleague Mark come to Moncton on a Tuesday

253
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:17.440
morning with this important news and to
do it here at the Jege Dumont University

254
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:21.440
Hospital Center. Mark means a great
deal to me personally. But thank you

255
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:26.359
for your friendship and you develop a
certain comrade. Reginette probably had the same

256
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:29.480
experience and house of commons. You
share a desk, so you have a

257
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.440
seat mate. Right. You have
one desk, two people, two chairs,

258
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:37.799
but one desk. So the people
you share the desk with you spend

259
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.759
hours chatting away. There's votes that
go late at night all night in some

260
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:48.000
cases. So you develop a cheerful
and positive and fun relationship with the women

261
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:51.240
and men. You have a chance
to share that little space and the House

262
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.839
of Commons with and Mark and I
had a couple of years together at that

263
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:56.680
at that moment and market means a
lot to me that you're here, thank

264
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:04.000

268
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:48.000
not only as a member of parliament
or as a minister. Mark correctly noted

269
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:53.720
that I came here as a patient. I see some of the doctors who

270
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:59.920
were so kind in treating me.

happy to be here with my colleagues for

280
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:29.519
what is an important announcement we believe
for the future of healthcare in our province.

281
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:33.640
In New Brunswick. I had an
opportunity about a year and a half

282
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:38.440
ago with Mark's predecessor as Minister of
Health, Jean Ivre Duclou, after the

283
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:42.960
Prime Minister had a meeting in Ottawa
in February last year with all of the

284
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:51.519
premiers to talk about a long term
funding agreement between the Government of Canada and

285
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:56.759
the thirteen provinces and territories. UH
and then Jeanieva and I took to the

286
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:03.960
road. We saw thirteen per provincial
premiers and health ministers in about eight days

287
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.119
across the country. And I remember
that meeting Bruce we had in Saint John

288
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:14.640
with Premier Higgs right away, the
Government of New Brunswick said they wanted to

289
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:17.799
be a partner with the Government of
Canada. They wanted to work on a

290
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:22.680
shared action plan that I I'm sure
our provincial colleagues will describe. But it

291
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:29.119
was an easy and constructive relationship with
the Government of New Brunswick from those first

292
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:32.640
conversations. And I think it's important
to say that it took some time to

293
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:37.759
work out the detailed agreement that Mark
and Bruce are announcing today, but I

294
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.119
was proud as a New Brunswicker,
and Jeanette and I spoke about this often

295
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.559
in terms of the desire for the
Government of New Brunswick to work with the

296
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:49.920
Government of Canada, not simply to
hassle about how much more money can the

297
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:55.640
Government of Canada send the provinces.
That's always in our federation, a back

298
00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:00.160
and forth discussion. I think Johnny
McDonald convened the first meeting where the Prime

299
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:06.160
Minister met premiers to talk about funding
of different programs. What I liked about

300
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:11.839
that conversation is you had governments across
the country concerned about patients, about healthcare

301
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:17.519
workers, about a system, as
Mark said, that was facing stresses from

302
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:21.920
the pandemic, but stresses that existed
before the pandemic and have become, as

303
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.839
all of you know better than certainly
I would in some cases more complicated coming

304
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.160
out of the pandemic. So the
focus was on what can we do to

305
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:36.400
improve a world class healthcare system that's
accessible to everybody in a way that's affordable

306
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:40.799
for the taxpayers that fund it,
but with a focus on patient service and

307
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:45.200
on outcomes. And that was the
conversation that we had across the country.

308
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.759
And that's the work that Mark has
done in the last number of months.

309
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.079
Mark and I stayed up a bit
too late at my house in town last

310
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:57.000
night, and this is the twelfth
announcement that Mark has made in recent weeks

311
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:01.759
across the country. There's one more
after Monkton today. But Mark, you

312
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:07.200
have on behalf of our government done
a remarkable work in finalizing these agreements,

313
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:12.480
which we hope will be an important
step, not the final step, as

314
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:16.839
you said, but an important step
in improving a healthcare system that's so cherished

315
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:24.640
by Canadians in every part of our
country. Al marc Uh, Jeanette La

to all the medical staff here at
this hospital and right across the horizon and

324
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:47.279
vitality. And I sometimes mentioned that
my parents were involved in the medical field.

325
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:51.960
My father was a doctor pediatrician and
sometimes he would work out of the

326
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.680
Dumont Hospital, sometimes out of the
Mountain Hospital, and during the summers he

327
00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:02.160
would do uh do clinics up trackety
Rushbukto. And the reason I mentioned that

328
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.320
is because I know the sacrifices that
families make uh in order for their their

329
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:15.000
parents or siblings to be doctors and
so so through that story, I want

00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:21.760
to say thank you very much juvidibokp

332
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:36.880
Thank you for what you've done.
And uh, I know, I

333
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:39.119
know many people are going to be
coming and telling me how to spend this

334
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:43.719
money, and some will probably want
me to spend it fourteen times over.

335
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:49.320
But that's the work we do.
And it's great too. It's great to

336
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:53.639
have Minister Holland here in the Greater
Monkin area. When, as Dominic said,

337
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:59.079
we started with the Minister Duclo a
year or two ago, year and

338
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:04.679
a half, I guess in Saint
John, and then the portfolio switched and

339
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:07.800
as you know, we have a
Minister Holland here in New Brunswick. So

340
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:14.800
when I received the first invitation to
talk on healthcare from m Minister M.

341
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:17.880
Holland, I picked up the phone
and said, Mike, why are you

342
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:23.239
sending me this email and wanting to
talk about And of course he freaked.

343
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:28.719
He freaked, he thought something was
impersonating him. And as you know,

344
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:32.760
nobody can impersonate Mike Holland other than
himself. So anyways, we got it

345
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:39.519
sorted and it was Minister Mark Holland. Anyways, so we met and we

346
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:45.119
became friends. He's a very personable
fellow, much like our other two ministers

347
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:52.079
here today who do a great job
in representing the Federation here in New Brunswick.

348
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.079
And Mark found this room. So
if you can find this room,

349
00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:04.400
then you can run the healthcare system
in Canada for sure. But I lost

350
00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:07.440
a lot of sleep last night because
Dominic usually has a good singer for me

351
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:12.440
or in usually two or three during
a ten minute speech. So I was

352
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:15.480
trying to come up with something and
I had nothing. I had nothing,

353
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:19.039
so he didn't sing me today,
So that's good. We're going to be

354
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:22.639
even Thanks Dominic. Great to see
you, and thanks again, and you

355
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:27.519
know we are. We're pleased to
see that the federal government has acknowledged the

356
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:32.320
maiden New Brunswick solutions here in the
in the province. We've been working very

357
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:38.320
very hard to implement our health plan, which has again gone through a couple

358
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:44.559
of years, and I'm proud that
we just unveiled one of the biggest budgets

359
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:47.239
for healthcare here in the province in
Brunswick to the tune of about three point

360
00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:52.719
eight billion dollars, and that's an
increase of almost a billion dollars since twenty

361
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:59.840
eighteen, so there is a significant
increase in the financial contribution and we appreciate

362
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:05.360
federal government helping us out there.

made progress. Hip and knee surgeries.

368
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:57.400
The long lists that we're there are
reducing every day because of the hard work

369
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:01.239
and the investment in healthcare in the
problem in Brunswick. We've reduced the cataract

370
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:07.639
surgeries because of clinics that have opened
up in Bathurst, Mayor Maachi, Fredericton,

371
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:12.920
and there'll be more to come so
the people can see clear and have

372
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:16.960
a better quality of life and also
reduce their chance of falling, which again

373
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:20.760
keeps them out of the hospital,
keeps them out of the emergency room.

374
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:24.440
And the mobile X ray unit that
was mentioned by Minister Holland, that mobile

375
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:30.280
X ray unit started as a pilot
project again through an agreement federal and provincial,

376
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:35.519
and it prevented We started down in
Lockwollman Villa and it prevented almost three

377
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:39.280
hundred and forty visits of seniors to
the emergency room to get an X ray.

378
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:44.239
So with this unit you can just
roll it up X ray the risk,

379
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:47.039
the hip, the back. It's
very, very versatile. So we've

380
00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:52.000
expanded that right across all the zones
here in the Province of Brunswick. And

381
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:57.199
again that's part of the investments that's
made here to make people's lives better.

382
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:04.039
So working together to improve healthcare for
Canadians, this agreement is shared, is

383
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:09.920
centered around the four shared priorities,
access to surgery, access to primary care,

384
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:17.840
long term care, and integrated connected
healthcare system. I know we've had

385
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:22.000
a busy time over the last few
months in putting together the agreement and it's

386
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:27.800
great that we're here today. Better
healthcare is a priority for New Brunswickers,

387
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:34.800
Lemeli, re Sean Dee in prior
Or Lobo runs of Coua. So we've

388
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:38.840
can We've interesting a couple of things. I'll just highlight. We've launched my

389
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:43.000
Health and B mobile phone app.
If you don't have it, it's a

390
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:46.320
way I'm touching my phone. I'm
not. It's right there because the apps

391
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:51.199
on your phone and you can get
your you can get your blood results,

392
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.039
you can get all the results right
there on your phone and you can check

393
00:39:53.079 --> 00:40:05.480
it out. In Priorita met not
through personnel Trava Dusk the professional Neuvau Nora

394
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:09.000
Province, and I had a text
from one of our staff just I think

395
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:13.960
it was Tuesday night. They're down
in the Philippines recruiting more people to come

396
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:19.519
here and work in the healthcare system. They were in Dubai earlier. And

397
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:22.719
again that's a great opportunity where people
are looking to come to Canada and people

398
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:28.519
saying Canada is my dream country because
they can come here, they can become

399
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:31.679
a citizen and they can work and
help us in our healthcare system. So

400
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:35.559
I could go on and on,
but I know that there's other people that

401
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:39.360
want to get to this podium.
And so I will say on cottom for

402
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:45.880
Sibukum Minister Holland and is Zo Thram
ministers one the media Domina engage in it.

403
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:49.880
It's a great to see you and
let's keep up the good work.

404
00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:54.840
I know. The next speaker is
a friend who's been following me. She

405
00:40:55.039 --> 00:41:00.800
was on Riverview Council and then became
a provincial mL and now she's a minister.

406
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:06.679
And our offices are just a quote
don la uh in the in the

407
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:09.599
Department of Health. So my and
she's doing a great job mental health and

408
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:15.039
addictions. That's a tough portfolio.
We know it stuff and she's working very

409
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:28.719
very so, without any further ado, please welcome Minister Shareles Well, good

410
00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:37.280
morning everyone, bonjoura too, see

Petapa Taylor Fitch, A Bacchus deter
Ec. This is going to be great

412
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.679
news for New Brunswick. And really
appreciate you all being here today. This

413
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:51.440
is a this is a great day. Indeed, since becoming Minister Responsible for

414
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:55.039
Addictions Mental Health Services, I've seen
how much the Department of Health is doing

415
00:41:55.199 --> 00:42:00.880
on addictions and mental health. One
of the key pillars are Vintional health Care

416
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:06.360
plan is Addictions and Mental Health to
address the very real struggles individual space.

417
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:10.920
Mental health and substance use disorders are
a concern for the people who struggle with

418
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:16.079
them, for their loved ones,
and for our communities. The Government of

419
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:22.000
New Brunswick is working to increase the
availability of addiction and mental health services across

420
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:28.039
our province. We're making a progress
on this plan. We've seen eight initiatives

421
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:31.760
of the Addiction and Mental Health Portfolio
completed, while one is still in progress.

422
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:37.159
One of our jobs is to provide
the resources to the people who need

423
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:43.159
it most, because that provides hope
and where there is hope, there's a

424
00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:49.719
chance to recover and that's where this
funding comes in. We're working on projects

425
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:52.920
that will improve the health of New
Brunswickers and it is so important that we

426
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:59.840
offer evidence based treatment and supports to
these individuals who are working hard on a

427
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:06.880
journey to recovery. Beyond hope.
We have tangible accomplishments to celebrate and more

428
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:12.000
to complete. We've launched the Planet
Youth New Brunswick, a five year project

429
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:17.559
to assist communities and finding ways to
reduce substant use amongst youth at foresites across

430
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:22.719
our province. This allows us to
help them to be more resilient and reach

431
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:29.079
their full potential, while giving communities
a framework to make long term changes to

432
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:37.719
create healthy communities. We've also partnered
with philolophic organizations to provide young New Brunswickers

433
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:45.320
and their families easier access to mental
health and addiction supports through integrated youth Wellness

434
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:52.800
hubs around the province. We've also
launched new Addiction Centers Services Center in Cambilton.

435
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:57.480
The Center for Hope and Harmony,
managed by the Vitality Health Network,

436
00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:01.599
is now treating patients. It is
part of a twenty four point five million

437
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:08.280
dollar effort to improve access to detox
programs and concurrent disorder treatments for those struggling

438
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:14.239
with addiction. The center has added
six bids for a total of twenty four.

439
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:20.880
With the increase in the number of
bids here is excuse me here going

440
00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:24.320
from eighteen to twenty four. This
center will help improve access to care for

441
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:30.800
clients from across New Brunswick, Say
projec, a initiative to plant provincial de

442
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:38.320
Sante. The Department has also introduced
several resources to improve access, including open

443
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:43.800
access to one at a time therapy, which is now available at all community

444
00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:50.599
addiction and mental health clinics. The
Bridge the Gap website offers online resources designed

445
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:55.440
to support mental wellness. The New
Brunswick Addiction and Mental Health Helpline is a

446
00:44:55.639 --> 00:45:01.960
free, confidential, bilingual twenty four
service twenty four hour service for citizens dealing

447
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:07.960
with various addiction and mental health concerns. As of August twenty twenty three,

448
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:15.480
Ridgewood Addiction Services has changed from twenty
eight day rehab program to a concurrent disorder

449
00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:21.960
live in treatment program. Four beds
were also added to the Concurrent Live in

450
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:28.360
program. So we look forward to
making further programs on delivering on initiatives outlies

451
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:30.639
and outlined in the plan. So
thank you Mercy, and now I'd like

452
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:36.760
to turn the microphone over to my
friend and Colleen Kathy Bacchus, who's men

453
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:51.199
doing incredible work as Minister for Seniors. I always tease they pick me as

454
00:45:51.280 --> 00:46:00.159
Minister for Seniors because I have the
most gray hair and need these. Oh

455
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:06.559
thank you Minister Wilson, and good
morning everyone, bonjour. It was so

456
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:12.199
nice to meet you, Minister Holland, and to renew and say hello to

457
00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:19.519
Minister LeBlanc and Minister Pettibaut Taylor.
I'm so pleased to be part of this

458
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:24.679
announcement. What wonderful news for New
Brunsicker's and New Brunswick seniors. As we

459
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:30.119
heard earlier, New Brunswick has the
fastest growing population of seniors in the country.

460
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:35.960
Like our colleagues at the Department of
Health, the Department of Social Development

461
00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:40.079
has been working hard to prepare for
this growth and meet the needs of seniors.

462
00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:46.559
As Minister responsible for Seniors, I
believe all seniors deserved the opportunity to

463
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:52.880
age with dignity and in comfort.
Making this possible takes a collaborative effort.

464
00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:58.599
In my role as Minister, I've
had the honor of hearing from seniors from

465
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:04.039
around the province on what it is
they want and need. I can't expect

466
00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:07.679
to know that listening to somebody sitting
in an office in Frederick, Dunner,

467
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:13.000
Audwar or wherever. The thing I
hear the most is our seniors would like

468
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:16.679
to age at home and in their
own communities. This is an important part

469
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:22.079
of the provincial health plan and we
continue to work on a number of initiatives,

470
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:28.360
including the ongoing expansion of the very
successful Nursing Home Without Walls program.

471
00:47:29.920 --> 00:47:36.480
This program gives those aging at home
the opportunity to utilize the various services provided

472
00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:40.119
by nursing homes. And although we've
been focusing on helping seniors age at home,

473
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:45.159
we are still making sure that those
who reside in nursing homes have the

474
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:49.880
care they need and we are working
hard to reduce assessment times or that long

475
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:54.239
term care. We need a stable
workforce to ensure New Brunswickers receive the right

476
00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:59.719
care at the right time, in
the right place, and we've been working

477
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:04.280
close see with our partners to make
this happen. To address staffing challenges in

478
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:08.280
the province, Social Development partners with
a number of government departments, as well

479
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:14.760
as the New Brunswick Association of Nursing
Homes, the Associated SORRY, the Association

480
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:21.039
of Special Care Homes, Individual Nursing
Homes and other senior focused stakeholder groups.

481
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:28.360
Social Development continues to be a leader
in supporting nursing home recruitment with the international

482
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:34.400
recruitment efforts. The departmental staff has
been an integral part of hospital teams as

483
00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:37.760
they work to find the right level
of care for those waiting in hospital initiatives

484
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:43.840
in the bilateral agreement, like care
coordination, will certainly aid in the effort

485
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:49.000
to ensure people receive the right level
of care that meets their needs. Ensuring

486
00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:52.119
long term care facilities have the tools
to care for people is also important.

487
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:58.920
Ventilation upgrades, structural and condition assessments, and other items mentioned in the agreement

488
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:02.960
will help us ensure these vital facilities
have what they need. I am very

489
00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:08.239
excited about what is to come with
this new partnership as we continue to work

490
00:49:08.280 --> 00:49:14.320
on making sure this important network has
the means to meet the needs of our

491
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:21.280
seniors. So let's get this agreement
signed. I'd like to invite Minister Karva

492
00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:39.079
Taylor back to the perpetrators abuse power, harm and traumatize victims and tear a

493
00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:45.000
part of trust placed in us by
the communities we serve, communities already experiencing

494
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:50.000
and told hardship. It is up
to all of us we eradicate sexual exploitation

495
00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:54.239
and abuse from our work, support
victims, and all perpetrators and their enablers

496
00:49:54.280 --> 00:50:00.079
to account. That means leaders taking
a zero tonans approaches a priori. It

497
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:06.960
means colleagues reporting on and acting against
any wrongdoing and it means member states probably

498
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:12.199
vetting and training their troops and policy
officers, responding urgently and decisively to any

499
00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:17.960
allegations, and rapidly resolving opporternity claims. Together, let's stand united under our

500
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:23.719
blue flag, readress wrongs and stamp
out sexual exploitation and abuse for good.

501
00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:31.639
Thank you, thank you very much
for being with us. It is a

502
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:39.760
historic day today where for the first
time, after almost six months, the

503
00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:47.800
Security Council adopted a resolution calling for
an immediate ceasefire, and we in the

504
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:55.400
Arab Group from the first day of
this aggression were united around three objectives.

505
00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:01.960
The first objective was a media ceasefire
to stop the aggression against our people.

506
00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:10.199
Today is a significant step in that
direction. The second objective was to have

507
00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:16.559
humanitarian assistance up to the need of
our people in the Gaza Strip. I

508
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:22.880
believe the ceasefire will open the door
for the implementation of that second objective.

509
00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:32.000
And the third objective was not to
allow the crime against humanity from forcefully transferring

510
00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:39.000
our people outside the Gaza Strip,
although they have been internally forced to move

511
00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:44.920
from the north to the center,
to the south and then to other places

512
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:52.079
in the Gaza Strip. A ceasefire. Immediate ceasefire would allow our people to

513
00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:59.119
return to the places where they were
displaced from. So I am proud of

514
00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:05.199
the unity of the Arab Group.
I am proud that our representative in the

515
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:13.119
Security Council is Algeria working closely with
us, reflecting the demands of the Arab

516
00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:20.800
Group. And I think today we
prevailed those who say that the Security Council

517
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:25.400
is not enforceable or not mandatory.
Give us a break. We go to

518
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:30.960
the General Assembly, they say it
is not enforced or binding. We come

519
00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:35.320
to the Security Council, they tell
us it is not binding. We do

520
00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:43.039
not buy that Security Council resolutions are
binding, and if Israel is not going

521
00:52:43.159 --> 00:52:47.039
to implement it, then it is
the duty of the Security Council to use

522
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:55.079
Chapter seven to take measures and punitive
measures in order to make them obey the

523
00:52:55.159 --> 00:53:00.360
resolution of the Security Council. We
are not done. Salute our people in

524
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:06.320
Gaza and in all of Palestine,
all of our people, all of their

525
00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:12.280
leaders. We are one as Palestinians. We survived this ordeal. We will

526
00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:16.280
rebuild Gaza. We are very proud
and resilient people, and thank you for

527
00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:22.159
covering our story during these five and
a half months, and we are not

528
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:27.519
done. We will go back to
the Security Council tomorrow. We will ask

529
00:53:27.639 --> 00:53:32.920
them to defend the brave Secretary General
who is with us today in refugee camps

530
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:37.800
of the Palestinians in Jordan. He
is the one who went to Rafa twice.

531
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:43.480
He is the one who met with
the leaders of Egypt, of Jordan,

532
00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:50.159
of Palestine, of all the Arabs
calling for a humanitarian ceasefire from early

533
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:59.239
after the aggression. And he today
called from Jordan implement the Security Council resolution

534
00:53:59.480 --> 00:54:04.239
that was audupted just a few minutes
ago. We salute him, We will

535
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:08.400
defend him, We will defend the
agencies of the United Nations, and we

536
00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:15.199
will ask the Security Council tomorrow to
issue a statement or a position defending the

537
00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:21.159
Secretary General and the UN agencies.
And we will not be done. We

538
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:25.960
will continue the march and we will
start working on a draft resolution to make

539
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:32.920
sure that that Trafa will not be
invaded. Raffa should be protected. We

540
00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:42.039
should not create a horrific humanitarian situation
or crimes in Rafa to push our people

541
00:54:42.199 --> 00:54:45.639
outside Rafa in the direction of Egypt. So we are not done. We

542
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:52.960
will continue working. The unity of
the Arab group is playing a tremendous role

543
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:58.480
in the unity in the Security Council, especially among the ten and we will

544
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:01.840
continue working and will will keep you
informed. Palladi, you are first number

545
00:55:01.880 --> 00:55:08.760
one. Thank you so much.
What's your comment in what the American Ambassador

546
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:15.400
Linda Thomas Griefield said that any release, any cease fire, must be accompanied

547
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:22.360
by the release of all unconditional release
of all hostages, knowing farewell by many

548
00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:28.599
and they argue that of all hostages
were released, there's nothing to stop Israel

549
00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:35.840
from going the hallway. Well,
Israel has to abide by its obligation and

550
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:40.280
the Charter, and it has to
immediately stop the fighting. This is what

551
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:46.719
the resolution called immediate cease fire.
Any member can interpret as they wish,

552
00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:52.280
but the law is the law.
The language of the resolution is crystal clear

553
00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:58.440
an immediate cease fire. Therefore,
an immediate cease fire has to be put

554
00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:06.199
in place. Calls for unconditional,
immediate release of hostages. Now that many

555
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:09.559
people in the Middle East say,
what guarantees are once there hostages, all

556
00:56:10.440 --> 00:56:16.480
hostages are released, what guarantees do
we have that Israel will not go the

557
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:22.280
whole way to rough more disruptions.
What stops Israel from doing that. I

558
00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:28.360
understand the frustration of our people,
and they have the right to be frustrated

559
00:56:28.679 --> 00:56:34.039
from the international community that dragged its
feet for five and a half months before

560
00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:39.039
they agreed to a ceasefire. But
the language of the resolution is crystal clear.

561
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:47.119
Operative paragraph one starts from demanding an
immediate ceasefire the second part of the

562
00:56:47.239 --> 00:56:54.079
sentence. It is not conditional upon
the first part it says, and also

563
00:56:54.679 --> 00:57:00.880
it calls for the other part.
The other part was reflected in order resolutions

564
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:06.679
in the Security Council, adopted in
the Security Council and the resolutions adopted in

565
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:12.000
the tenth Emergency Session twice in the
General Assembly. All of us are saying

566
00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:19.480
immediate seas fire, and in fact, our brothers and sisters Egypt Cutter are

567
00:57:19.639 --> 00:57:27.840
negotiating with the United States and others
and negotiating and mediating with our brothers Hamas

568
00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:35.119
the release of the hostages and exchange
of prisoners, So that principle is not

569
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:40.840
being rejected by all of us,
provided that there is a release of the

570
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:49.840
Palestinian detenees, especially those who are
serving life sentence. And I think that

571
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:53.599
that will happen, and we hope
that it happens very soon. And we

572
00:57:53.760 --> 00:58:01.760
are behind Egypt and Katter, who
are playing a very important roll in the

573
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:07.559
mediation and the negotiation in order to
have a deal. So that is not

574
00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:14.679
something that is rejected by the Arabs
or by you know, those who are

575
00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:20.400
negotiating this agreement on that deal.
You asked a lot of questions before.

576
00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:23.199
But if there's a woman before you
that wants to ask a question, would

577
00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:28.519
have I don't see anything. Thank
you, match or the last one.

578
00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:31.800
Thank you Antics Tumor from Al Jazeera
English. During the meeting Prime Minist niche

579
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:35.719
Now who indicated that he was going
to cancel a visit to DC in reaction

580
00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:38.000
to the Security Council adoption, what
is your comment on the fact that it

581
00:58:38.039 --> 00:58:42.920
seems the negotiations on the ground for
a deal are going in the opposite direction

582
00:58:43.239 --> 00:58:47.679
to not towards a deal in reaction
to this resolution. I don't really know

583
00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:52.760
what the negotiation on the ground entails. I'm not involved in it. My

584
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:57.440
job is to work at the UN, including the Security Council, to produce

585
00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:02.159
resolutions like the one that we produce. That is my job now with regard

586
00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:09.159
to the relationship between Nataniahu and the
current administration in Washington, d C.

587
00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:17.280
We leave it up to them to
respond to his you know, disrespectful way

588
00:59:17.960 --> 00:59:24.679
of behaving with the country that is
responsible for the survival of Israel and arming

589
00:59:24.840 --> 00:59:30.400
Israel and giving it, you know, a munition and giving it a billion

590
00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:35.599
of billions of dollars to continue the
atrocities against our people. They have to

591
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:39.719
end up and respond to him.
That is not my job to respond to

592
00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:43.599
that. It is their job.
Thank you very much for being with us.

593
00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:49.960
I understand. I understand that you
go to the General Assembly and it's

594
00:59:50.039 --> 00:59:52.119
not binding, that you come here
and it's not binding. But we just

595
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:59.679
witness how two different ambassadors interpreted this
resolution in two different ways. I think

596
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:06.519
that the interpretation is in the among
lawyers and the legal experts over you know,

597
01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:10.079
this issue. There are differences of
opinions, but the law is the

598
01:00:10.199 --> 01:00:16.440
law. The Charter demands from all
member states to honor and respect and implement

599
01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:22.519
Security Council resolutions. And my brother
Mahmood is the legalist among us. But

600
01:00:22.719 --> 01:00:29.920
let me also add just in case
that a country rebel against Security Council resolution,

601
01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:36.079
it makes then sense that the Security
Council that has tools available to them

602
01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:42.679
to resort to Chapter seven to take
measures in order to force that rebel country

603
01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:46.079
to comply with Security Council resolution.
But my brother, Mamud, camera is

604
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:50.440
one. Thank you, I mean, the ambassador has summed it perfectly.

605
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:54.559
Article twenty five of the Charter says
is clearly that the members of the United

606
01:00:54.639 --> 01:01:00.039
Nations shall carry out the decisions of
the Security Council. The language used in

607
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:05.079
OP one is demand language. It's
a binding language which is based on Article

608
01:01:05.159 --> 01:01:09.119
twenty five of the Charter. As
such, it is a mandatory resolution that

609
01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:13.559
has to be carried out. If
you're talking about Chapter seven, Chapter seven.

610
01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:16.760
When you use Chapter seven, it
is for enforceable measure. If a

611
01:01:16.880 --> 01:01:22.039
country violates international law in a matter
that threats international peace and security, you

612
01:01:22.159 --> 01:01:27.159
can use force or impose sanctions.
This is what Chapter seven is about.

613
01:01:27.559 --> 01:01:30.119
So that's that's that's the difference.
Thank you much, thank you all.

614
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:43.440
Thank you no. When I see
the wonderful work who is doing in these

615
01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:49.960
schools, in these health centers,
providing vital support to Palestine refugees, in

616
01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:53.480
Jordan, in Syria, in Lebanon, and in the occupied policy and territories.

617
01:01:54.440 --> 01:02:00.280
I feel that it's absolutely necessary to
preserve this back bone, have the

618
01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:06.519
international humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, and I can guarantee that will we

619
01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:14.039
do everything and introduce all the necessarity
forms to make sure that URA will be

620
01:02:14.599 --> 01:02:20.760
an agency fully abiding by the UN
principles and by the humanitarian principles, have

621
01:02:20.880 --> 01:02:30.039
independence and film travity and impertiality.
Their seats available. Okay, let's get

622
01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:36.639
started. Good afternoon, everyone toward. Ven Island, the UN Special Coordinator

623
01:02:36.679 --> 01:02:40.199
for the Middle East Peace Process,
today briefed the Security Council by video teleconference

624
01:02:40.760 --> 01:02:45.679
about the ongoing fighting in Gaza.
He said that he was appalled by the

625
01:02:45.800 --> 01:02:50.800
men's scale of death, destruction and
human suffering wrought by Israel's military campaign in

626
01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:55.039
Gaza, with civilian killings at a
rate that is unprecedented, and he once

627
01:02:55.079 --> 01:03:00.719
again condemned the horrific armed attack by
Hamas and other groups on the seven October.

628
01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:05.559
Nothing can justify these attacks of terror, he said. The remaining hostages

629
01:03:05.679 --> 01:03:10.679
must be released immediately and unconditionally.
Mister Venisland added that he's concerned over what

630
01:03:10.840 --> 01:03:16.239
may be violations of international humanitarian law, including possible non compliance with the requirements

631
01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:22.920
of distinction, proportionality and precautions in
attack. The Special Coordinator welcomed the opening

632
01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:29.400
of a maritime corridor to deliver much
needed additional humanitarian assistance by sea, but

633
01:03:29.559 --> 01:03:35.320
reiterated that for aid deliveries at scale, there's no meaningful substitute to delivery by

634
01:03:35.400 --> 01:03:39.599
land. Mister Venisland said that the
enormity of the humanitarian, security and political

635
01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:45.280
challenges we face requires a collective,
creative and immediate response. He said that

636
01:03:45.360 --> 01:03:52.360
we must urgently address the catastrophic humanitarian
situation in Gaza. He regretted that despite

637
01:03:52.440 --> 01:03:57.119
intensive diplomatic efforts, we have not
seen an agreement on a ceasefire and the

638
01:03:57.199 --> 01:04:02.000
release of hostages. We've shared his
remarks further on the situation in Gaza,

639
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:06.400
the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs reports that the UN and its partners

640
01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:12.400
continue to do everything possible, wherever
and whenever we can to address surging needs,

641
01:04:12.519 --> 01:04:15.880
despite tremendous obstacles to our aid operations. Over the weekend, the World

642
01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:21.119
Health Organization and its partners evacuated two
six year old patients and their caregivers from

643
01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:26.800
camal Aduan Hospital in northern Gaza.
One of the children has leukemia, while

644
01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:32.039
the other hassistic fibrosis, and both
will now receive treatment abroad. WHO Director

645
01:04:32.119 --> 01:04:38.559
General, Doctor tedros adnom gibrie Issus
once more appeals for sustained and safe medical

646
01:04:38.599 --> 01:04:43.280
transfers in Gaza to ensure all children
and sick patients in need of urgent care

647
01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:46.480
have a chance to survive. To
date, about three thousand, four hundred

648
01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:50.360
patients have been evacuated out of Gaza. That's out of some nine thousand,

649
01:04:50.480 --> 01:04:57.639
two hundred people who urgently require medical
evacuation. Meanwhile, as hunger's sores in

650
01:04:57.719 --> 01:05:01.039
Gaza, aid organizations continue to screen
and treat children under the age of five

651
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:08.039
for acute malnutrition. The UN Relief
and Works Agency UNRA is carrying out screenings

652
01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:12.480
at shelters in there Albala and plans
to expand into Alma Mawassi and shelters in

653
01:05:12.559 --> 01:05:15.840
con units. Between mid January and
mid March of this year, more than

654
01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:20.199
twenty eight thousand children under the age
of five had been screened for acute malnutrition.

655
01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:26.719
The nearly two thousand children diagnosed with
acute malnutrition are currently receiving the required

656
01:05:26.760 --> 01:05:32.159
treatment. On Saturday, WHO delivered
treatment kits for severe acute malnutrition as well

657
01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:42.719
as therapeutic milk to the stabilization center
at Kamal Adwan Hospitals. The Report of

658
01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:47.039
the Secretary General on Special Measures for
Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse covering the

659
01:05:47.159 --> 01:05:51.880
year twenty twenty three has been published
today. As in previous years, the

660
01:05:51.920 --> 01:05:58.159
report provides details on system wide efforts
to strengthen our capacity to prevent and respond

661
01:05:58.239 --> 01:06:02.119
to sexual exploitation and abuse, in
line with the Secretary General Strategy. For

662
01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:08.000
example, many UN agencies, funds
and programs have introduced or updated their strategies

663
01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:14.719
to institutionalize safeguards against all forms of
sexual misconduct. However, despite this progress,

664
01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:18.119
the report notes that the lack of
adequate and sustained resources continues to impede

665
01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:24.079
the effective implementation of initiatives across the
UN system, particularly at the field level.

666
01:06:25.639 --> 01:06:28.079
Our approach, which is centered on
the rights and needs of victims,

667
01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:31.880
continues. We are intensifying efforts to
uphold the rights of victims and to end

668
01:06:31.920 --> 01:06:38.679
impunity. This also includes engagement with
member states to facilitate the resolution of paternity

669
01:06:38.760 --> 01:06:43.760
claims. With an unprecedented rise in
humanitarian crisis around the world, the report

670
01:06:43.840 --> 01:06:46.639
states that there is an urgent necessity
to recalibrate our approach to funding in this

671
01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:53.480
area. The Secretary General's Special Coordinator
on Improving the United Nations Response to Sexual

672
01:06:53.559 --> 01:07:00.000
Exploitation and Abuse, Christian Saunders,
has commissioned a comprehensive assessment to determine how

673
01:07:00.320 --> 01:07:05.039
best to integrate the prevention of sexual
exploitation and abuse in all UN activities and

674
01:07:05.119 --> 01:07:11.519
programs. This assessment will propose a
strategy to ensure sustainable, effective prevention work

675
01:07:11.559 --> 01:07:15.920
across the UN system and options for
predictable and adequate resourcing at headquarters and in

676
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:20.320
the field. And Today, in
a video message, the Secretary General says,

677
01:07:20.320 --> 01:07:26.480
sexual exploitation and abuse violate everything the
United Nations stands for. It is

678
01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:30.400
up to all of us to eradicate
sexual exploitation and abuse from our work,

679
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:34.159
support victims, and hold perpetrators and
their enablers to account. He added.

680
01:07:34.920 --> 01:07:41.039
Both the video message and report are
available online. We have a short update

681
01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:45.760
for you on Haiti. The World
Food Program says that yesterday, together with

682
01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:50.119
local partners, they delivered hot meals
to eighteen thousand, five hundred displaced people,

683
01:07:50.800 --> 01:07:55.960
making it their largest distribution in March. However, access to people in

684
01:07:56.079 --> 01:08:00.920
need remains sporadic. Between the twentieth
and twenty second of March, VFP reported

685
01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:03.840
that it was not able to reach
some eighteen thousand people in need with food

686
01:08:04.159 --> 01:08:10.320
due to roadblocks and insecurity. Since
the twenty ninth of February, UNISEEFONIST partners

687
01:08:10.360 --> 01:08:14.559
have distributed some one point seven million
liters of water for more than fifteen thousand

688
01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:18.159
people in Port de Prince. On
the health front, the monitoring of disease

689
01:08:18.199 --> 01:08:25.560
outbreaks continues in sites for displaced people
across the capital. Our health colleagues warned

690
01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:29.920
that the distribution of medicine and medical
supplies, including supplies to respond to cholera,

691
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:35.520
remains a critical need, with insecurity
hindering the replenishment of stocks. Meanwhile,

692
01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:42.520
UNICEF's Executive Director Catherine Russell warned today
that violence and instability have consequences far

693
01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:45.880
beyond the risk of the violence itself, as the current context is creating a

694
01:08:45.960 --> 01:08:54.439
child health and nutrition crisis that could
cost the lives of countless children. Turning

695
01:08:54.520 --> 01:08:58.520
to South Sudan, the Office for
the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is concerned about

696
01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:02.359
incidents that continue to impede the humanitarian
response in the country. In a new

697
01:09:02.439 --> 01:09:08.680
report, OSHA recorded more than thirty
incidents curtailing humanitarian access in South Sudan last

698
01:09:08.760 --> 01:09:13.720
month. Nearly half of these incidents
involved violence against humanitarian staff and assets.

699
01:09:14.600 --> 01:09:17.199
Are Humanitarian colleagues warned that this is
causing delays in the movement of aid and

700
01:09:17.239 --> 01:09:21.920
personnel in South Sudan and even the
suspension of some programs. This comes at

701
01:09:21.920 --> 01:09:26.640
a time when the country is grappling
with an influx of returnees due to the

702
01:09:26.720 --> 01:09:31.319
conflict in Sudan. These new arrivals
are stretching response capacities and putting additional pressure

703
01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:38.159
on host communities. Meanwhile, funding
constraints are compounding the challenges that humanitarian organizations

704
01:09:38.159 --> 01:09:43.319
are facing. This year's humanitarian needs
and response planned for South Sudan has received

705
01:09:43.399 --> 01:09:46.199
just three hundred and thirty five million
dollars, less than twenty percent of the

706
01:09:46.279 --> 01:09:51.279
one point eight billion dollars required.
This funding level is much lower than last

707
01:09:51.399 --> 01:09:58.399
year. In Ukraine, the Office
for the Coronation of Humanitarian Affairs tells US

708
01:09:58.439 --> 01:10:00.960
that attacks continued in the south in
east of the country yesterday and today,

709
01:10:01.880 --> 01:10:06.840
impacting civilians and critical infrastructure. Several
people have been injured in the cities of

710
01:10:06.840 --> 01:10:12.920
Odessa and Kharkiv. According to local
authorities, hundreds of thousands of people remain

711
01:10:13.000 --> 01:10:17.239
without power, mainly in Odessa and
Kharkiv regions. Authorities estimate that restoring the

712
01:10:17.279 --> 01:10:21.840
power to its full capacity will take
months. Humanitarian organizations are on the ground

713
01:10:23.039 --> 01:10:29.399
providing emergency aid to people affected.
The UN Children's Fund UNICEF warns that nine

714
01:10:29.479 --> 01:10:33.279
years into the conflict in Yemen,
almost ten million children remain in urgent need

715
01:10:33.359 --> 01:10:39.439
of humanitarian assistance. While the reduction
in active conflicts in April twenty twenty two

716
01:10:39.800 --> 01:10:44.520
has led to a decrease in civilian
casualties and distress across communities, the situation

717
01:10:44.600 --> 01:10:49.760
remains fragile without a sustainable political settlement. UNICEF says that's especially critical at a

718
01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:54.880
time when more than half of the
population eighteen point two million people, including

719
01:10:54.960 --> 01:11:00.359
nine point eight million children, remain
in need of life saving support. UNISF

720
01:11:00.479 --> 01:11:03.479
notes the persistent malnutrition in the country, where over two point seven million children

721
01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:10.560
are acutely malnourished and forty nine percent
of children under five suffer from stunting or

722
01:11:10.640 --> 01:11:15.319
chronic malnutrition. There's more in a
press release from the agency. The International

723
01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:18.920
Organization for Migration today released a report
showing that in the last ten years,

724
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:25.000
more than sixty three thousand deaths and
disappearances were documented during migration, and more

725
01:11:25.079 --> 01:11:29.319
deaths were recorded in twenty twenty three
than in any prior year. According to

726
01:11:29.359 --> 01:11:33.680
the report, more than one thirdsed
of deceased migrants whose countries of origin could

727
01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:40.159
be identified come from countries in conflict
or with large refugee populations, highlighting the

728
01:11:40.239 --> 01:11:45.079
dangers faced by those attempting to flee
conflict zones without safe pathways. The International

729
01:11:45.159 --> 01:11:49.800
Organization for Migration says that these figures
demonstrate the urgent need for strengthened search and

730
01:11:49.880 --> 01:11:56.680
rescue capacities, facilitation of safe regular
migration pathways, and evidence based action to

731
01:11:56.720 --> 01:12:01.039
prevent further loss of life. IOM
added that action should also include intensified international

732
01:12:01.119 --> 01:12:09.560
cooperation against unscrupulous smuggling and trafficking networks. I have a programming note for tomorrow,

733
01:12:09.800 --> 01:12:14.159
which is Wednesday. We shall be
joined virtually by our guest Bintuketa,

734
01:12:14.399 --> 01:12:17.600
the Special Representative of the Secretary General
in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and

735
01:12:17.720 --> 01:12:23.720
head of the UN Organization Stabilization Mission
in the DRC MAUNUSCO. She will brief

736
01:12:23.800 --> 01:12:27.880
on the situation in the DRC following
our participation in the Security Council meeting on

737
01:12:28.079 --> 01:12:33.039
Munusco tomorrow morning and today we're delighted
to thank our friends in Zagreb and Lima

738
01:12:33.199 --> 01:12:39.039
for their nation's full contributions to the
regular budget. The checks from Croatia and

739
01:12:39.079 --> 01:12:44.479
Peru take us to ninety two fully
paid up Member states. Are there any

740
01:12:44.560 --> 01:12:49.640
questions for me? Yes, deji? Yeah, today it seems the Security

741
01:12:49.680 --> 01:12:56.119
Council there are still the Member States
are still discussing on the binding or not

742
01:12:56.319 --> 01:13:02.279
binding on the Security Council resolution.
Do you said the Security Council resolution is

743
01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:10.079
international law, which means it's binding, right, yes or no? I

744
01:13:10.199 --> 01:13:14.239
have well, well, first of
all, for legal questions, I normally

745
01:13:14.520 --> 01:13:17.039
defer to tell you to ask the
lawyers. But for this, I mean

746
01:13:17.079 --> 01:13:19.920
I would just prefer you to the
United Nations Charter, which is a handy

747
01:13:20.000 --> 01:13:25.880
document. That article the Member of
the United Nations agreed to accept and carry

748
01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:30.479
out the decisions of the Security Council
in accordance to with the President of Chartercharter.

749
01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:32.319
Yes, that is Article twenty five
and that is where we stand,

750
01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:36.960
yep, so, which means it's
binding. I will leave you to do

751
01:13:38.079 --> 01:13:45.479
your own interpretations. Okay, so
now we know that the US they always

752
01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:49.520
they said it's not binding, it's
it's one of the founding members of this

753
01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:56.039
very institution. Just now we heard
members states that if this resolution as described

754
01:13:56.079 --> 01:14:00.800
as not binding, it would be
like a fundamental change in some of the

755
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:04.399
structure of this very institution. Do
you worried that would set a very bad

756
01:14:04.720 --> 01:14:12.359
precedent to the future future Security Council
resolutions? Well, Jeshi, you've noticed

757
01:14:12.359 --> 01:14:15.600
that this discussion is happening as we
speak in the Security Council, and I

758
01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:18.720
will let the members of the Council
speak and debate for themselves. I think

759
01:14:18.720 --> 01:14:21.960
there's some very powerful arguments being made, and I think the members of the

760
01:14:23.000 --> 01:14:29.159
Council need to listen to each other. So Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield said it

761
01:14:29.319 --> 01:14:32.560
is critical that we continue to stand
together in support of the UN Charter,

762
01:14:33.279 --> 01:14:41.560
that we continue to call for accountability
for the atrocities. And that's what she

763
01:14:41.800 --> 01:14:48.039
said on March fifteenth of twenty twenty
four. So what do you think of

764
01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:54.640
this kind of double standard? Now
again that's your analysis. So I think,

765
01:14:54.680 --> 01:14:58.560
what not a double stand But but
we Ultimately, what we want to

766
01:14:58.600 --> 01:15:01.600
focus on is that the Security Council, after many long months, worked out

767
01:15:01.680 --> 01:15:06.479
and agreed on a resolution. Agreement
in the Security Council is necessary, The

768
01:15:06.680 --> 01:15:11.319
unity of the Security Council is necessary, and we hope that they can continue

769
01:15:11.680 --> 01:15:16.039
to maintain their unity. After twenty
two hours, after twenty four hours,

770
01:15:16.439 --> 01:15:25.319
it seems this resolution is not implement
not implemented right. The implementation of resolutions

771
01:15:25.399 --> 01:15:29.680
is something that takes time. The
enforcement of resolutions is something that is ultimately

772
01:15:29.800 --> 01:15:33.079
up to the international community as a
whole. But you just read out yourself

773
01:15:33.439 --> 01:15:36.960
with Article twenty five states and that
is the rules, one of the founding

774
01:15:38.039 --> 01:15:45.439
rules of the United Nations Charter.
Yes Eadie. On a related subject,

775
01:15:45.720 --> 01:15:55.199
the Prime Minister of Israel said that
adopt today, that adoption of the resolution

776
01:15:56.439 --> 01:16:08.199
emboldened Hummas to yet a deal for
a ceasefire and hostage release that was on

777
01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:16.640
the table negotiated by the US,
Qatar and Egypt. Does the Secretary General

778
01:16:16.880 --> 01:16:24.279
have any comment on that. We
believe that those are two separate issues and

779
01:16:24.359 --> 01:16:29.119
they are not and they are not
connected as far as I'm aware. Hamas's

780
01:16:29.720 --> 01:16:33.359
declaration came hours before the adoption of
the Security Council resolution, So it's not

781
01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:39.159
as if one led to the other. But above and beyond that, we

782
01:16:39.319 --> 01:16:44.840
believe that the negotiations should continue,
and we're still pushing to make sure that

783
01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:50.359
there will be a ceasefire and a
release of hostages. So to the extent

784
01:16:50.399 --> 01:16:58.239
that we have influenced with the various
negotiators and mediators we've been using. That

785
01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:12.840
a completely different topic in Venezuela,
the main opposition coalition has been unable to

786
01:17:13.399 --> 01:17:23.199
register a presidential candidate for their upcoming
elections. Does the Secretary General have any

787
01:17:23.399 --> 01:17:30.479
comment on this failure, which is
second failure? Well, I mean,

788
01:17:30.720 --> 01:17:39.520
for us, what's really important is
that there is an environment in Venezuela that

789
01:17:39.720 --> 01:17:45.479
is conducive to free and fair elections. We regret any development that could impede

790
01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:50.279
electoral guarantees, and we recall the
need to guarantee the right to vote and

791
01:17:50.399 --> 01:17:57.279
to be elected through genuine, periodic
elections. The Secretary General underscores importance that

792
01:17:57.359 --> 01:18:02.560
the international community continues engaging with the
parties towards a negotiated road map for elections,

793
01:18:03.199 --> 01:18:09.159
and he re eraised his call for
the implementation in good faith Venezuelan led

794
01:18:09.239 --> 01:18:19.079
agreements, including the Barbados Agreement.
Abily, thanks Faran. It's been reported

795
01:18:20.039 --> 01:18:28.439
earlier this morning that many Palestinian people
have been killed by air drop of aid,

796
01:18:29.039 --> 01:18:34.199
drowning or trampled or crushed whatever I
mean. I know that you've said

797
01:18:34.319 --> 01:18:39.479
several times that the best way to
get aid into Gaza is by road,

798
01:18:39.600 --> 01:18:43.399
But do you think, considering the
risk of the air drop, it should

799
01:18:43.439 --> 01:18:48.960
be stopped. Well, certainly,
we've said, and related to a similar

800
01:18:49.479 --> 01:18:55.359
case just a couple of weeks ago, that there are many risks associated with

801
01:18:55.560 --> 01:19:00.439
air drops, and that's something that
the people who are at tempt the air

802
01:19:00.520 --> 01:19:04.880
drops need to be cognizant of.
They need to make sure that these air

803
01:19:04.960 --> 01:19:10.760
drops can be done in as safe
a way as possible. But again,

804
01:19:11.399 --> 01:19:14.520
for us, the main point is
exactly what you just pointed out, that

805
01:19:15.119 --> 01:19:19.520
we believe that there needs to be
much more aid coming in by road,

806
01:19:19.640 --> 01:19:25.920
which is both safer but also much
more efficient as a means of delivering aid.

807
01:19:27.000 --> 01:19:30.920
Mike, a couple questions for you. Over the weekend, President Biden

808
01:19:30.000 --> 01:19:33.960
signed into law a number of spending
bills, one of which a State Department

809
01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:39.560
Foreign Spending bill, would not only
cut funding for unre for a calendar year,

810
01:19:39.640 --> 01:19:44.079
but also prohibits funding for the UN
Commission of Inquiry on the Israeli Palestinian

811
01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:48.359
file. It withholds funds from the
UN Human Rights Council. It also necessitates

812
01:19:48.399 --> 01:19:54.800
the UN to assess and report on
efforts to combat anti Semitism and anti Israel

813
01:19:54.880 --> 01:20:00.479
bias within the system. Does the
Secretary General have any plan, have any

814
01:20:00.720 --> 01:20:05.359
concerns, have any course of action
here to address those obvious concerns that have

815
01:20:05.439 --> 01:20:12.960
been launched by a pretty wide bipartisan
congressional caucus here on those issues. Well,

816
01:20:13.439 --> 01:20:17.640
the UN and including the Secretary General, remain in regular contact with the

817
01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:24.039
authorities in the United States government to
make sure that any concerns they have about

818
01:20:24.079 --> 01:20:28.239
our operations are addressed, and will
continue to do that with the concerns expressed

819
01:20:28.760 --> 01:20:32.800
in this latest legislation regarding the Relief
and Works Agency. As you're aware,

820
01:20:33.439 --> 01:20:41.600
we are working with now different procedures, including an investigation by the Office of

821
01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:49.039
Internal Oversight Services and a look at
the neutrality and the operations of UNRAW by

822
01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:54.720
the team led by Catherine Kelowna,
and we'll be sharing that information as well

823
01:20:55.079 --> 01:20:58.560
and will continue to follow up to
address any concerns. But for us,

824
01:20:58.680 --> 01:21:04.800
it's vitally important, of course that
UNRA, as the lead humanitarian agency in

825
01:21:05.239 --> 01:21:10.279
the occupied territories, is able to
go about its work with proper funding.

826
01:21:10.479 --> 01:21:14.680
Can you give any specific examples,
Like I know, mister Moratinos in the

827
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:19.319
Alliance of Civilization's office has been working
in quite some time on a plan to

828
01:21:19.319 --> 01:21:24.199
combat anti Semitism. It's still in
the works from what I understand, Can

829
01:21:24.279 --> 01:21:29.000
you give specific examples outside of the
confines of UNRA where the un either is

830
01:21:29.119 --> 01:21:32.479
making progress on this issue to the
satisfaction of the US Congress or is planning

831
01:21:32.840 --> 01:21:40.079
some additional measures to meet those requirements. Well, I don't know about what

832
01:21:40.520 --> 01:21:45.760
specific steps will satisfy the requirements of
the Congress. I mean those are things

833
01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:48.840
that we will have to study and
see what can be done to accommodate those

834
01:21:48.840 --> 01:21:55.399
specific requests. But yes, both
with regard to mister Martinez, but also

835
01:21:55.479 --> 01:22:01.039
with regards to policies through the various
agencies, we are trying to foster an

836
01:22:01.159 --> 01:22:09.359
environment of inclusiveness in which any sorts
of racism, any types of anti semitism,

837
01:22:09.479 --> 01:22:15.960
is plamophobia, or other such prejudices
and biases are are not are not

838
01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:24.960
carrier, are not present in the
work that is done of bloodemer Thank you

839
01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:29.840
for Han. If there was a
report about export of oil to North Korea

840
01:22:29.920 --> 01:22:35.560
from Russia, we know that it's
not allowed according to the Security Council resolution.

841
01:22:35.800 --> 01:22:42.960
So the same question are these restrictions
binding or not? The ones on

842
01:22:43.079 --> 01:22:47.000
export of oil, yes to North
Korea. That that's really a question for

843
01:22:47.720 --> 01:22:53.000
the Security Council Sanctions Committee. Obviously
there's sanctions on North Korea, and the

844
01:22:53.520 --> 01:22:58.119
Security Council has its own sanctions committee
that deals with the Democratic People's Republic of

845
01:22:58.199 --> 01:23:06.079
Korea and determines anything that is a
violation of the sanctions regime. Alan and

846
01:23:06.119 --> 01:23:15.720
then Anade, Thank you Aaron.
Today, the director of Russian Federal Security

847
01:23:15.800 --> 01:23:23.239
Service, Alexander Bortnikov stated that the
first data taken from the people detained after

848
01:23:23.359 --> 01:23:29.520
the terrorist detecting Moscow show clearly the
Ukrainian trace. What's your commentary regarding there?

849
01:23:29.720 --> 01:23:35.239
Thank you. We have no information
to verify or confirm that you have

850
01:23:35.359 --> 01:23:39.760
seen what the Secretary General said in
his statement on Friday, and that is

851
01:23:39.800 --> 01:23:43.880
where we stand on this issue.
Another thank you for Han. Can I

852
01:23:43.880 --> 01:23:46.760
ask for a couple of clarifications on
Haiti, you mentioned that yesterday the WF

853
01:23:47.000 --> 01:23:50.840
was able to provide eighteen thousand hot
meals. Is that only imported, Prince

854
01:23:50.920 --> 01:23:55.960
or are they now providing hot meals
outside the capitol as well. I believe

855
01:23:56.039 --> 01:23:59.880
that is imported, Prince, but
we can ask a WFP if they have

856
01:24:00.039 --> 01:24:02.000
any more details on that. Okay, great? And then secondly, also

857
01:24:02.079 --> 01:24:05.760
in Haiti, the Multi National Security
falls. We haven't had an update on

858
01:24:05.840 --> 01:24:10.039
the fund lately. Do you know
how much is in the bank at the

859
01:24:10.079 --> 01:24:13.000
moment? Yeah, it's ten point
eight million dollars. It's a number I

860
01:24:13.079 --> 01:24:15.159
have engraved in my heart. It
has not changed in many many days.

861
01:24:16.399 --> 01:24:28.239
Say thank you. AB doesn't need
thank you for having I have a few

862
01:24:28.359 --> 01:24:34.399
questions. First, I noticed that
mister Thorg Winsland did not refer to the

863
01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:43.159
resolution of the Security Council adopted yesterday. He did not mention it is there

864
01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:48.960
any reason for this? Look this
report by mister Venisland was his periodic report

865
01:24:49.079 --> 01:24:54.479
to the Security Council on developments that
happened in the occupied territories over the last

866
01:24:54.560 --> 01:24:58.000
months. So that is what that's
what he was referring to, not not

867
01:24:58.199 --> 01:25:09.159
about the incident that happened right after
second. Does any country large or small

868
01:25:09.239 --> 01:25:16.439
have the right to decide what is
binding or not binding by your own Security

869
01:25:16.520 --> 01:25:23.159
Council resolutions? I doesn't mean you've
heard the discussion I had with on this

870
01:25:23.680 --> 01:25:29.840
again. You can look at the
UN Charter for yourself. Yeah. President

871
01:25:29.960 --> 01:25:35.920
of Israel, mister Hertzog said today
that the war will continue until either mister

872
01:25:36.079 --> 01:25:42.079
Senwar is killed or captured. Do
you have any comment on that? I

873
01:25:42.199 --> 01:25:46.319
do not. We are continuing our
work to see what can be done on

874
01:25:46.520 --> 01:25:50.479
getting a ceasefire and the release of
hostages, and we'll continue on that on

875
01:25:50.600 --> 01:25:57.319
that effort, Mike. And my
last question, my last question, Yeah,

876
01:25:59.119 --> 01:26:02.479
the Special Rapport Terror on the Human
Rights and the Occupied Palestine and Territory

877
01:26:02.560 --> 01:26:11.199
issued a long report under the title
Anatomy of a Genocide over twenty five pages

878
01:26:11.319 --> 01:26:15.159
or so. Are you aware of
its The SG review this report. Do

879
01:26:15.239 --> 01:26:21.399
you subscribe to the finding of missus
Anthonie. Well, as you know,

880
01:26:21.560 --> 01:26:26.800
the raperturs that report to the Human
Rights Council are independent of us. We

881
01:26:26.880 --> 01:26:30.319
don't comment on their work one way
or another across the board, and it'll

882
01:26:30.319 --> 01:26:33.800
be up to the Human Rights Council
to valuate her work. Mister Wackenham,

883
01:26:34.199 --> 01:26:39.359
thank you. In the wake of
October seventh, the Secretary General made some

884
01:26:41.039 --> 01:26:45.319
say controversial comments that the October seventh
attacks did not happen in a vacuum.

885
01:26:46.399 --> 01:26:54.880
Back on Friday, an internationally designated
terror group attacked indiscriminately civilians. They claim

886
01:26:54.920 --> 01:26:59.960
it's because the government of those civilians
have been oppressing the constituency that that terror

887
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:03.279
group purports to represent. So I'll
ask you, in parallel, does a

888
01:27:03.319 --> 01:27:09.119
Secretary General feel that that terror attack
in Moscow happened inside or outside of a

889
01:27:09.199 --> 01:27:14.840
vacuum. These are separate incidents and
so they need to be looked at separately.

890
01:27:14.880 --> 01:27:19.159
But his standpoint across the board is
that actions don't just erupt out of

891
01:27:19.279 --> 01:27:24.279
nowhere, and ultimately, if we
want to deal with problems, we have

892
01:27:24.399 --> 01:27:29.600
to look at what was underlying how
those problems came about. That would be

893
01:27:29.640 --> 01:27:33.359
the case across the board, in
Russia, in Israel and everywhere. So

894
01:27:33.439 --> 01:27:38.479
should ICE's grievances be taken into account
going forward. That's a bit of an

895
01:27:38.479 --> 01:27:44.680
oversimplification of what I just said.
I'm not analyzing, I'm asking no.

896
01:27:45.359 --> 01:27:51.399
I mean what I said is all
crises are the result of different factors.
