00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for listening to Depictions Media Radio. Welcome to

2
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Policy and Rights show up Gosh, welcomer Policy Human Joys.

3
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>He welcome back to Policy and Rights. Here Depictions Media Radio.

4
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm your Michael Clogg's Okay. So this coming weekend, where

5
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>it will be June fifteenth through June seventeenth, the G

6
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>seven Summit will be happening in Alberta, Canada to be

7
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>exact kind of Ascus, Alberta. And the big question is

8
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>should Donald Trump be banned from this summit. He is

9
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 1>the biggest disruptor he in the world. He doesn't want

10
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to play with others nicely at all. In fact, he

11
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 1>wants things to be his way or no way at all.

12
00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>He has ambushed Zelensky, He has tried to ambush Mark Carney,

13
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the Prime Minister of Canada. He has attempted to ambush

14
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the President of South Africa, who was actually waiting for

15
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>him to try to ambush him and was able to

16
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>evade his attack, saying that he is committing genocide on

17
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 1>the africaanners. He has put forth white supremacy policies, and

18
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>he is unjustly and without due process removing people from

19
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the United States and sending them to some encampment in

20
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Al Salvador, unlawful confinement, in kidnapping policies being used by

21
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>people with masks who are just snatching people off the street.

22
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 1>This is what is happening because of his leadership as president.

23
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:19.759
<v Speaker 1>He has parked the National Guarden the Marines in California

24
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>and an attempt with scare tactics to stop them from

25
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 1>protesting what he is doing, because what he is doing

26
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 1>is breaking the constitution. If any one of those particular

27
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 1>members of the armed forces opens fires on a citizen

28
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>in California, they're breaking the constitution that they were sworn

29
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to protect. They in fact, if they don't ignore the

30
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 1>executive order to attack US citizens, they're helping Donald Trump

31
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to break the constitution that he has no respect for.

32
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>He has no respect for global happenings. He said. It

33
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 1>says to to India and Pakistan over the ideas of

34
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>who gets to control Kashmir. Let's go make some money together.

35
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll do some trade and that that'll solve the problem.

36
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>He is attempting to rape the land of of Ukraine

37
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:45.319
<v Speaker 1>of of their rare earth mineral minerals so that they

38
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 1>give up their sovereignty to Vladimir Putin, is this the

39
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of person who truly represents what the G seven

40
00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 1>is about? And should the this person be allowed to

41
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>be at this summit and an attempt to disrupt it,

42
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>because that's probably what his bottom line idea is, is

43
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 1>to disrupt the G seven so that he can control

44
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 1>more of what the world is actually doing. In this

45
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 1>particular recording, you're gonna hear Charlie Angus, and he has

46
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>some very valid points about what is why he thinks

47
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 1>that Donald Trump should be banned from the G seven.

48
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 1>It's like he's why he he should shouldn't be allowed

49
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to participate and in any of the talks. He has

50
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 1>some very valid points. We're going to hear those, okay.

51
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 1>And also while we're listening today's record, we're gonna hear

52
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 1>from the United Nations as Iraq is trying to regain

53
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>their sovereignty and hold elections and reform a a viable

54
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>government for the for the people so that they can

55
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 1>return to the global table with trade and commerce. They

56
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of valuable things to offer people culturally

57
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>as well as things that are that are actually said

58
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>on their land. With that being said, that there, of

59
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>course is treasures that they between Kuwait and Iraq during

60
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>during the the war that happened a couple of decades ago.

61
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 1>That their treasures that they're still trying to find and

62
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>they are in search of, and those treasures, those are

63
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 1>pieces of art, those pieces of history should be returned

64
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to Iraq and to Kuwait where they rightfully belong, so

65
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 1>that we all can share in the culture that brought

66
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.519
<v Speaker 1>us to some of where we are today. As you

67
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:37.879
<v Speaker 1>know that, of course Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran were all

68
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>once part of the Persian Empire, and that Persian Empire

69
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>also also brought about things to do with Samaria and

70
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 1>other things that have brought greatness to our history as

71
00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>human beings, and those treasures that represent that should be

72
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>returned to their rightful places. So why don't we listen

73
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.279
<v Speaker 1>in and we're going to start off with Turnlie Angus

74
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>as he discusses why he thinks that Donald Trump should

75
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:15.839
<v Speaker 1>be banned from the G seven.

76
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 2>Good morning. I am here in the press gallery of

77
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 2>the Parliament of Canada, the heart of our democratic engagement

78
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.080
<v Speaker 2>with people, and this morning I offer my deep concern,

79
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 2>solidarity and prayers with the people of California who are

80
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>out in the streets on armed defending the rule of

81
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 2>law against illegal kidnapping and deportation, and they're being faced

82
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.159
<v Speaker 2>down by the military might of the United States Marines.

83
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 2>We're not talking about creeping fascism here. This is full

84
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 2>on police state tyranny from the gangster President Donald Trump.

85
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>And this is the man who will soon be crossing

86
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.559
<v Speaker 2>our border to attend the G seven meetings in Canada.

87
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I have received hundreds of messages of concern and outrage

88
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 2>from Canadians that a convicted felon sexual predator and a

89
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:21.039
<v Speaker 2>man who's threatened our nation's sovereignty is being allowed into

90
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:26.279
<v Speaker 2>our country. I understand the Prime Minister Carney's reluctance to

91
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 2>escalate the situation with the mega President, but we have

92
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 2>to stop kidding ourselves and we have to be very

93
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>honest about what we are being asked to engage with.

94
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump poses a clear threat to American democracy, to

95
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Canadian sovereignty, and to the international rule of law. And

96
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.919
<v Speaker 2>this morning I will lay out a straightforward indictment of

97
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump's threats, not just to his own people and

98
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>not just to Canada, but to the international rule of law.

99
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Since November twenty twenty four, Donald Trump has made over

100
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>one hundred attacks on Canada, and yet when it comes

101
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.279
<v Speaker 2>to the war criminal of Vladimir Putin, Trump has said

102
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 2>almost nothing except to defend, to explain, to write off

103
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the crimes of the Putin regime. He is doing this

104
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.399
<v Speaker 2>at the clear expense of the American people and the

105
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Western allies. He continually promotes Vladimir Putin while attacking President Zelenski,

106
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 2>the people of Ukraine and the people of Canada. We

107
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:40.559
<v Speaker 2>remember that when Vladimir Putin launched his murderous invasion of Ukraine,

108
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump declared mister Putin a savvy genius, and he

109
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:50.320
<v Speaker 2>said that the arbitrary seizure of Ukrainian territory was quote wonderful.

110
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Trump refuses to denounce the murderous bombing of the cities

111
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 2>of Ukraine, and he has falsely accused President Zelenski of

112
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:03.320
<v Speaker 2>having started the word. Trump has put the security of

113
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.320
<v Speaker 2>our European allies at risk to the benefit of Russia.

114
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 2>He continually, as well, undermines American domestic security. When Russia

115
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.159
<v Speaker 2>launched cyber attacks in the United States, Trump downplayed the

116
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>threat and put the blame on the quote lamestream media.

117
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Russia interfered with the United States election, which may have

118
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.559
<v Speaker 2>helped Trump get elected in twenty sixteen. And yet Trump

119
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 2>has blocked investigations into the foreign interference. And yet Donald

120
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Trump has been more than willing to vilify Canadians. Earlier

121
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.720
<v Speaker 2>this year, Pete Navarro pushed to have Canada kicked out

122
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>of the Five Eyes intelligence network. Canada plays a key

123
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 2>role in the Five Eyes helping keep Americans safe. It's

124
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.840
<v Speaker 2>a job that we do as an ally and a neighbor.

125
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>But MAGA has turned Canada into their number one enemy

126
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:02.039
<v Speaker 2>with recent bogus claims from cash to tell about terrorists

127
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>from Canada flooding over the border. So let's compare those

128
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.039
<v Speaker 2>falsehoods with how Trump deals with the threats from Russia.

129
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.519
<v Speaker 2>This past March, the United States ordered the US Cyber

130
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Command to suspend operations against Russia. The United States shut

131
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 2>down efforts to counter Russian sabotage. Attorney General Pam Bondi

132
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.720
<v Speaker 2>blocked the FBI's Foreign Interference Task Force, which leaves the

133
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:29.600
<v Speaker 2>United States wide open to secret influence campaigns by Russia,

134
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:33.440
<v Speaker 2>China and other dark actors. You got to ask yourself,

135
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 2>is Donald Trump loyal to the people of the United

136
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>States who elected him, or to Vladimir Putin's undermining of

137
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:44.919
<v Speaker 2>the international rule of law. Just this past February, President

138
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Trump said he wanted Russia reinstated into the G seven,

139
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:52.279
<v Speaker 2>and he falsely blamed Canada for having Russia been kicked out.

140
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:57.799
<v Speaker 2>Russia was expelled from the G eight then for illegally

141
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:03.240
<v Speaker 2>invading Ukrainian territory. In February, Trump opposed a European resolution

142
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.960
<v Speaker 2>condemning Moscow's actions against Ukraine. In opposing this vote on

143
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:12.480
<v Speaker 2>defending Ukraine's territorial sovereignty, the United States voted with the

144
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:18.279
<v Speaker 2>gangster regimes of Russia, Belarus, and North Korea. Trump rejected

145
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Canada's proposal on tackling Russian shadow fleet of oil tankers

146
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.879
<v Speaker 2>that are being used to undermine sanctions. In February of

147
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.759
<v Speaker 2>the United States vetoed Canada's proposal to establish a task

148
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.879
<v Speaker 2>force to monitor sanctioned breaches by Russia. The Attorney General

149
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 2>has disbanded the program aimed at seizing assets of Russian oligarchs.

150
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Now we know that Donald Trump, who is a convicted criminal,

151
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:44.759
<v Speaker 2>has been more than willing to aid and abet international

152
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.480
<v Speaker 2>war criminals. Vladimir Putin, like Benjamin Netanyah, who is bombed hospitals,

153
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Vladimir Putin, like Netanyahu, has targeted schools. Trump has said

154
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:57.960
<v Speaker 2>nothing about this. Vladimir Putin has kidnapped over nineteen thousand

155
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Ukrainian children, and in March twenty twenty three, the International

156
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin over

157
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>the unlawful deportation and transfer of children. And yet as

158
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.799
<v Speaker 2>soon as he came to power, Donald Trump cut funding

159
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 2>for the Yale program that was tracking Ukrainian children who've

160
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 2>been kidnapped from their families and forced into Russia. In

161
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.919
<v Speaker 2>March twenty twenty five, Russian lawmaker andre Kartapaulov called for

162
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:29.879
<v Speaker 2>the United States to stop sharing Ukraine with intelligence and

163
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:34.360
<v Speaker 2>following that, Donald Trump obediently cut intelligence sharing that led

164
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 2>to a series of Russian strikes in Ukrainian cities. And

165
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Trump has defended Putin's attacks on Ukrainian civilians, and he

166
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>says that Putin is easier to deal with than the

167
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.519
<v Speaker 2>people of Ukraine. Let's just talk for a minute about

168
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:53.919
<v Speaker 2>the tariff war. Trump has launched massive tariffs against Canada, Mexico,

169
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>and Europe his key allies. He has claimed that his

170
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.320
<v Speaker 2>tariff war in Canada will force US as an nation

171
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.120
<v Speaker 2>to break and beg to be his vassal state. On

172
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 2>top of that, he's targeted one hundred and fifty countries,

173
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:10.200
<v Speaker 2>including countries as small as Madagascar, Rwanda, Saint Helena, Liechtenstein, Senegal,

174
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 2>and yet he's not imposed any sanctions or tariffs on Russia.

175
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.279
<v Speaker 2>He falsely claims there is no trade with Russian In fact,

176
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 2>there's three point five billion dollars in Russian trade that

177
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.519
<v Speaker 2>has been exempted from tariffs, and Trump says he wants

178
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:29.159
<v Speaker 2>more trade with Russia. He says this as he attacks

179
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Canada's manufacturing, steel, agricultural, entertainment industries. Canada can no longer

180
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.919
<v Speaker 2>view the United States as an ally. We know that

181
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump doesn't believe in liberal democracy, he doesn't believe

182
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:49.120
<v Speaker 2>in the rule of law. Canada is an open and

183
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>inclusive society. Little wonder that Donald Trump has denounced our

184
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.679
<v Speaker 2>nation as one of the nastiest countries he's ever had

185
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 2>to deal with. And we'd be fools to pretend that

186
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>is threat to quote get rid of the border by

187
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 2>using economic force is somehow abated we can't kid ourselves

188
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 2>about the threat that's being posed by Donald Trump. Prime

189
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Minister Mark Karney is not inviting our nearest neighbor and

190
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.679
<v Speaker 2>friendly ally to join us in the G seven. Prime

191
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Minister Karney is not inviting the leader of the Free

192
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:30.440
<v Speaker 2>world to Canada. He is welcoming in Vladimir Putin's sock puppet,

193
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 2>who will have the best seat in the key negotiations

194
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.159
<v Speaker 2>with the G six. Donald Trump will be there as

195
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:43.399
<v Speaker 2>we attempt to negotiate a deal in a dark new world,

196
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:46.759
<v Speaker 2>and we know that Donald Trump is there to undermine

197
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.879
<v Speaker 2>us at every step of the way. Canada must be

198
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 2>focused on containing this clear and present danger to our

199
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.320
<v Speaker 2>nation and the rule of law. We must stand with

200
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.120
<v Speaker 2>the people of Ukraine and our allies who believe in

201
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:01.919
<v Speaker 2>the democratic order. The Prime Minister must stay boldly that

202
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 2>he will stand up against any attempts to interfere in

203
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Canada and to undermine through academia or through American corporations

204
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 2>that are in Canada, any DEI measures that are in Canada.

205
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Because Canada is a nation of diversity, equity and inclusion.

206
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.200
<v Speaker 2>This is what makes Canada a light in this new

207
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:31.720
<v Speaker 2>dark age of gangster regimes and Trump is the gangster.

208
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I urge Canadians to keep the boycott strong. I urge

209
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the Prime Minister to work with us, and work with

210
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.720
<v Speaker 2>our allies and send a very clear message that we

211
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.559
<v Speaker 2>will not support in any way the rise of an

212
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.799
<v Speaker 2>authoritarian regime south of the border that is using the

213
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.920
<v Speaker 2>military against its own people. Canada at this point is

214
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:57.400
<v Speaker 2>holding the line, but we must remain true, North, strong

215
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and free. Thank you.

216
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.039
<v Speaker 3>So are you calling for Prime Mister Karney to disinvite

217
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:04.599
<v Speaker 3>President Trump to the G seven meeting?

218
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Then I think it's a really fair question. This man

219
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 2>is threatening us now. As again I said, I recognize

220
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.559
<v Speaker 2>that Prime Minister Carney probably doesn't want to escalate the

221
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:19.240
<v Speaker 2>situation with Donald Trump, but I think we need to

222
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.119
<v Speaker 2>be sending a message somehow that we will contain this threat.

223
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.160
<v Speaker 2>And we need to make sure that we are not

224
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.359
<v Speaker 2>giving Donald Trump all access in our negotiations at the

225
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:32.079
<v Speaker 2>G seven because he does not have our interests at heart.

226
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.240
<v Speaker 4>Do you think the.

227
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 3>Government's currents actions with more defense spending and the one

228
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.519
<v Speaker 3>Canada Economy bill or Economy bill are enough to I

229
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.759
<v Speaker 3>guess sort of pat us from the threat of America.

230
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I think we are partly on the road. I think

231
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 2>that there have been some good initiatives. We have to

232
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:56.920
<v Speaker 2>become independent militarily, we have to become much more independent economically.

233
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.599
<v Speaker 2>We do need our premiers to step up. Some of

234
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:02.319
<v Speaker 2>them are stepping up at this time. But I think

235
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 2>we have to also not kid ourselves about the threat

236
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.960
<v Speaker 2>that Donald Trump is posing to us, the idea from

237
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.759
<v Speaker 2>his mega ambassador Pete Hookstraw. Well, listen, you know Americans

238
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:16.680
<v Speaker 2>got hurt too. Pete Hookstraw was in the Netherlands undermining

239
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.720
<v Speaker 2>the people of the Netherlands and supporting extremist parties while

240
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.319
<v Speaker 2>being ambassador there. We have to contain this threat just

241
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:25.920
<v Speaker 2>like we would contain a threat from Vladimir Putin. We

242
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.200
<v Speaker 2>have to stop pretending that Donald Trump is just being Trump.

243
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:30.680
<v Speaker 5>Click.

244
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is a very fluid situation we're dealing with,

245
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Speaker 2>and so I again I recognize that the Prime Minister

246
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:41.480
<v Speaker 2>is going to have to be more careful than me.

247
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:45.839
<v Speaker 2>But we need to be really framing this discussion as

248
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 2>a threat from an authoritarian regime that's on the rise.

249
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 2>When Governor Knewsom talks about this being an open threat

250
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 2>to democracy at this moment, our nearest neighbor is no

251
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.440
<v Speaker 2>longer a democratic nation, So Canada has to be very

252
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.920
<v Speaker 2>super vigilant and now is not the time to drop

253
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:03.359
<v Speaker 2>our guard.

254
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:08.440
<v Speaker 6>Sudden, some premiers aren't stepping up. Which premiers and yeah,

255
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:09.319
<v Speaker 6>what's that point?

256
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, clearly we see with Daniel Smith and Premier Moe

257
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.799
<v Speaker 2>breaking the boycott inviting American alcohol back into the stores.

258
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what's that about. Just after again, Pete Hoopstress

259
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:22.039
<v Speaker 2>said that the tariffs are going to remain in place.

260
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.279
<v Speaker 2>They are now inviting American product back onto the shelf.

261
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.799
<v Speaker 2>The boycott has been a non precedented success. The boycott

262
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:35.640
<v Speaker 2>of Canadian products has forced a ninety percent drop in

263
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.519
<v Speaker 2>American wine exports. America is dependent on Canadian wine exports.

264
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:43.599
<v Speaker 2>It has affected Kentucky through the boycott. The boycott and

265
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:47.599
<v Speaker 2>travel is threatening twelve billion dollars in trade. The reason

266
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:50.880
<v Speaker 2>the boycott is so important is because it keeps pressure

267
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:53.680
<v Speaker 2>at the state level and state governors to actually put

268
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:57.079
<v Speaker 2>pressure on if we drop our guard, there is no

269
00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>way that they will ever drop those tariffs. So Daniel

270
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:02.319
<v Speaker 2>Smith needs to stop threatening to break up our country

271
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 2>and she needs to start standing with the rest of

272
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Canada and saying We're going to hold the line because

273
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Canadian jobs are Canadian jobs, whether they're in Alberta or

274
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:13.720
<v Speaker 2>whether they're in Oshawa on Windsor. Governor Newsom said there's

275
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 2>no working with Trump, there's only working for Trump. How

276
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:21.759
<v Speaker 2>do you view Carney's relationship with Trump so far. I

277
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.000
<v Speaker 2>one of the reasons I decided to come here is

278
00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I think when we hear from the governor California that

279
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump is such a threat that there is no

280
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.960
<v Speaker 2>working with him, we have to remind ourselves in Canada

281
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.799
<v Speaker 2>we can't become complacent and think, oh, the threat's over.

282
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.000
<v Speaker 2>There is no working with an authoritarian. Trump has stated

283
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:43.960
<v Speaker 2>he believes that the world is under three you know,

284
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.160
<v Speaker 2>great powers, Russia, China, in the United States. That means

285
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.680
<v Speaker 2>he sees Canada as a vassal state. So I recognize

286
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:52.440
<v Speaker 2>that Prime Minister Carney is going to have to be

287
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.240
<v Speaker 2>super careful, but we have to recognize that we're not

288
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.319
<v Speaker 2>working with him. We're not going to cut deals. Whatever

289
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:00.880
<v Speaker 2>promises he makes today he will break tomorrow. We have

290
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.720
<v Speaker 2>to recognize that this is now a clear and present

291
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:04.799
<v Speaker 2>danger on our border.

292
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.680
<v Speaker 6>Are you planning on joining any protests in Calgary or

293
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.200
<v Speaker 6>traveling to Calgary at all ahead of the G seven

294
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:11.160
<v Speaker 6>or during the G seven.

295
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I can't get to Calgary before the G seven. I

296
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:19.599
<v Speaker 2>know that we are having many protests just as well,

297
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:24.559
<v Speaker 2>supporting the American Allies, the grassroots resistance on June fourteenth.

298
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 2>But what I've seen, and I've been touring the country

299
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:31.119
<v Speaker 2>is this is a unique moment for Canada because what's

300
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.759
<v Speaker 2>leading the resistance are ordinary people. I get this very

301
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.519
<v Speaker 2>clearly wherever I go in Canada. Ordinary people understand that

302
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:40.319
<v Speaker 2>we are under a threat that we haven't seen since

303
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.559
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen thirties. Ordinary Canadians need to hear from their

304
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 2>leaders that they share those concerns, and this is why

305
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm here today.

306
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.480
<v Speaker 7>How do you feel about Modi and Svetron Prince being

307
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.200
<v Speaker 7>advised to the G seven.

308
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 2>I think the decision to invite mister Mody is very concerning.

309
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the things we're realizing now is

310
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.480
<v Speaker 2>that we are certainly in the age of as Graham

311
00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:09.119
<v Speaker 2>she would say, monsters and monster regimes, and Canada is

312
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:12.200
<v Speaker 2>now having to find its way in the midst of

313
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:17.200
<v Speaker 2>the monsters. Modi has, you know, certainly undermined Canada. Some

314
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.480
<v Speaker 2>of his actions have been very concerning. We have now

315
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump there. I'm not going to second guess the

316
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Prime Minister at this point, even though I spent my

317
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.480
<v Speaker 2>whole life in opposition. I want to say though, that

318
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:30.960
<v Speaker 2>we have to be very wary of who we are

319
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.119
<v Speaker 2>making deals with. But I would certainly encourage Canada to

320
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 2>focus on Europe, focus on Asia, focus on allies that

321
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.440
<v Speaker 2>we can trust and share our values.

322
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.200
<v Speaker 3>I haven't heard you speak to this yet since the election.

323
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you have, but can I.

324
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Just get your general sense of your thoughts and where

325
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:51.559
<v Speaker 2>the current state of the NDP is right now?

326
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Brutal results in the last election that I'm just.

327
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:56.400
<v Speaker 7>Wondering, what do you feel about the kind of soul

328
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:58.759
<v Speaker 7>Thurgeon Party needs to do and where it's at.

329
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.640
<v Speaker 2>The election was a disaster, unmitigated disaster for the New

330
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Democratic Party. What I felt from my and I've been

331
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:11.880
<v Speaker 2>heavily touring across the country during the campaign and I'm

332
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.559
<v Speaker 2>at rallies and meetings all the time. I feel two things.

333
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:19.440
<v Speaker 2>One is that people feel that the party lost touch,

334
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:24.759
<v Speaker 2>becoming very much a leader focused group as opposed to

335
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:27.759
<v Speaker 2>the New Democratic Party of Canada. But I also have

336
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:31.240
<v Speaker 2>a sense that people are really understand the need to

337
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:33.880
<v Speaker 2>have a three party system in Canada, and we need

338
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:36.480
<v Speaker 2>to rebuild the New Democratic Party. So when you have

339
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:39.039
<v Speaker 2>bills like C two come in, there needs to be

340
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:45.400
<v Speaker 2>a progressive left wing party at the committee hearings, bringing witnesses,

341
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:47.559
<v Speaker 2>making sure that this is going to be in the

342
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:50.759
<v Speaker 2>nation's interests, and right now we've lost that ability. So

343
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.839
<v Speaker 2>I think that this is this issue of renewal of

344
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the party is super important. But we have to understand

345
00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:58.920
<v Speaker 2>that if we are a social democratic party, we have

346
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.440
<v Speaker 2>to be a democrat at a party from the grassroots.

347
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:04.000
<v Speaker 2>We have to re engage with people we lost touch

348
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 2>and we have to be honest about that.

349
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Sore be interested in the conversation.

350
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.799
<v Speaker 7>So the conversation that you're having isn't that different than

351
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:17.640
<v Speaker 7>a lot of people are having on the ground, but

352
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:19.839
<v Speaker 7>there's a big disconnect, as you know, at the national

353
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:23.559
<v Speaker 7>political level. So saying that, is that something that you

354
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:27.680
<v Speaker 7>would support and somebody coming forward to lead the New

355
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.359
<v Speaker 7>Democratic Party, or that something that would be a little

356
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.160
<v Speaker 7>more challenging to the status quo in terms of how

357
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:36.240
<v Speaker 7>Trump has approached things like that. And also, I know

358
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:38.960
<v Speaker 7>you've been asked this before, but you've declined, but it

359
00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:42.160
<v Speaker 7>is have you fully ruled out getting back involved in

360
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:43.720
<v Speaker 7>politics or maybe running even.

361
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:46.759
<v Speaker 2>For the leadership. I will not be running for the leadership.

362
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:50.319
<v Speaker 2>I felt ever since Donald Trump came to power that

363
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:53.799
<v Speaker 2>I need to focus on Canada, and I will continue

364
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:56.920
<v Speaker 2>to focus full out. I'm working more than full time

365
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:00.839
<v Speaker 2>than I've ever worked before on this threat. I do

366
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:04.079
<v Speaker 2>believe that there is a disconnect in Canada that you know.

367
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:07.079
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the problems and one of the

368
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:09.079
<v Speaker 2>realities is, and I'm just trying to be fair here,

369
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.359
<v Speaker 2>is that you know, we know what we know, and

370
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.720
<v Speaker 2>our comms people know what they know, and our polsters

371
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:16.599
<v Speaker 2>know what they know, and they're good at what they know,

372
00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:18.759
<v Speaker 2>and our talking heads are good at what they know.

373
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.680
<v Speaker 2>But we're dealing in completely uncharted territory. We're dealing with

374
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the rise of authoritarianism. None of us were there back

375
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:25.960
<v Speaker 2>in the nineteen thirties, so we don't have anything to

376
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:30.000
<v Speaker 2>compare to. I think we have not really framed the

377
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.079
<v Speaker 2>threat as clearly as we need to, and I think

378
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:36.000
<v Speaker 2>that that puts a danger to our political leadership to

379
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.519
<v Speaker 2>be more worried on just the day to day rather

380
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.559
<v Speaker 2>than the big picture. We need a very strong new

381
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Democratic Party and we need a strong renewal, so I'm

382
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:46.880
<v Speaker 2>interested in seeing who comes forward.

383
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:50.720
<v Speaker 6>We haven't seen a response yet from the federal government

384
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:55.160
<v Speaker 6>in terms of Trump doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum.

385
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Have you been talking to anyone behind the scenes regarding

386
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:00.519
<v Speaker 2>this of year? What do you think that they're used

387
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.200
<v Speaker 2>to do in response to the double enough stealing illuminum tariffs.

388
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe the best thing that Prime Minister Trudeau

389
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:09.599
<v Speaker 2>ever did was when he said that we would go

390
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:14.079
<v Speaker 2>dollar for dollar in response, because we saw some of

391
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.799
<v Speaker 2>our other allies not step up, and I think it

392
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:21.400
<v Speaker 2>in boldened Trump, and we saw that Trump did back off.

393
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.319
<v Speaker 2>The threats to steal an aluminum are not just to us.

394
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:28.200
<v Speaker 2>They're a serious threat to American industry, their threat to

395
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the auto sector. We are an integrated economy in terms

396
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:37.119
<v Speaker 2>of trade, and I feel that not going back full

397
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>on is not in the best interests of Canada. I

398
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.240
<v Speaker 2>think it's better that we take this fight on and

399
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:47.599
<v Speaker 2>force a response, rather than suffer a slow bleed off

400
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.720
<v Speaker 2>of jobs, which is what we're going to be stuck

401
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.079
<v Speaker 2>with if we don't respond very firmly.

402
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:55.160
<v Speaker 6>What do you think of Bill C five, specifically the

403
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:58.400
<v Speaker 6>second part that deals with getting big projects built. As

404
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:00.920
<v Speaker 6>you probably know, it's sort of once it's listed, it's

405
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.279
<v Speaker 6>conditionally approved, and then the regulatory processes play out with

406
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.680
<v Speaker 6>a focus on how a project can be built as

407
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:09.839
<v Speaker 6>opposed to whether it can. Yeah, what do you think

408
00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 6>about that? You spent so long as that real resources correct?

409
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know they have said that Canada is three

410
00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:19.880
<v Speaker 2>monopolies in a trench coat, and I certainly hope that

411
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:23.440
<v Speaker 2>those three giant monopolies don't get their way again. If

412
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.279
<v Speaker 2>it is in the national interest, then let's make sure

413
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.200
<v Speaker 2>that it's in the national interest and not just in

414
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:32.000
<v Speaker 2>the interest of pushing forward Again. We've spent thirty four

415
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.319
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars on the TMX pipeline. We're never going to

416
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:37.519
<v Speaker 2>see that money again. We're subsidizing every barrel of bitchmen

417
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.160
<v Speaker 2>going down the TMX pipeline by about fifty cents on

418
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:42.160
<v Speaker 2>the barrel. Well, if there was an economic case, why

419
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:44.720
<v Speaker 2>aren't they paying the full freight. So the idea that

420
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:48.039
<v Speaker 2>we're going to fast track projects when we see the

421
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.240
<v Speaker 2>doug Ford is now exempting projects from environmental review and

422
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:57.640
<v Speaker 2>causing major resistance in indigenous communities. This is not how

423
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:01.599
<v Speaker 2>it's done. We have many projects ready to go right

424
00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:05.359
<v Speaker 2>now that have been gone through the process of good

425
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:08.640
<v Speaker 2>consultation and have gone through the process of a fair process.

426
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:13.079
<v Speaker 2>So the government can't undermine that because what it does

427
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:15.920
<v Speaker 2>is it creates conflict. And when you create conflict, you

428
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:17.039
<v Speaker 2>don't get projects built.

429
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 1>And are you concerned at.

430
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.480
<v Speaker 6>All about the quite broad powers that this legislation would

431
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.960
<v Speaker 6>give the government with regards to approving projects. You know,

432
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.160
<v Speaker 6>there's some clauses in there about being able to delete

433
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:32.079
<v Speaker 6>or amend portions of specific acts as it relates to

434
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:34.319
<v Speaker 6>a given project. Yeah, thoughts on that.

435
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, the reason that we have the legislation in the

436
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>first place is because we've seen so many disasters. I

437
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.200
<v Speaker 2>live in Cobalt, Ontario. My backyard is an abandoned mind

438
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.079
<v Speaker 2>sight down the street for me, there's lakes that are

439
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:50.720
<v Speaker 2>full of arsenic and cadmium that'll be there contaminated for

440
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.480
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of years. We put rules in so that we

441
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.880
<v Speaker 2>do it right in Canada, certainly in the mining sector,

442
00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:58.799
<v Speaker 2>we have some of the highest standards in the world

443
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and we do it right. I don't see why we

444
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:04.160
<v Speaker 2>suddenly now have to say we're not going to do

445
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:08.200
<v Speaker 2>it right. The government has the power already on working

446
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:12.519
<v Speaker 2>with the provinces in terms of environmental assessment about making

447
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:15.079
<v Speaker 2>sure the projects sometimes don't have to go through two

448
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:20.119
<v Speaker 2>or three different overviews to make things happen. But I'll

449
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:23.160
<v Speaker 2>tell you, when you have first nation buy in projects

450
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>move forward. So I would be focused on making sure

451
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.039
<v Speaker 2>we have first nation buying by having good projects, and

452
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 2>those nation building projects will happen. Have you spoken to

453
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Sing since he lost a See, I haven't spoken to

454
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:38.519
<v Speaker 2>drug Meat Sing since the election. No, I would like

455
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:44.240
<v Speaker 2>to see you as the next NDP leader. A mama

456
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:53.920
<v Speaker 2>angus didn't raise her boy to speculate. Well, number one,

457
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:57.160
<v Speaker 2>you've got to be able to win. I think number

458
00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:01.519
<v Speaker 2>two is recognizing you know the strength of the Social

459
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:05.240
<v Speaker 2>democratic movement was it was the Social Democratic movement. Number one.

460
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:08.400
<v Speaker 2>I would kill zoom everything. I see what the party

461
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:11.119
<v Speaker 2>is on zoom and nothing again zoom. We had to

462
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:13.400
<v Speaker 2>do it during COVID, but you know, we used to

463
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:18.000
<v Speaker 2>be a party that was really rooted in at the

464
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.880
<v Speaker 2>writing level, the writings, you know, the big debates on

465
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:24.119
<v Speaker 2>who we're going to be delegates at convention, who are

466
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:27.599
<v Speaker 2>going to regional forms. We used to hold pub nights.

467
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:30.400
<v Speaker 2>We used to hold bean dinners. Of God, we had

468
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.039
<v Speaker 2>bean dinners. We'd all go right like. I mean, it

469
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:35.079
<v Speaker 2>was a hassle and you never made any money, but

470
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 2>it was about bringing people in and making them feel

471
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.680
<v Speaker 2>like they belonged. We became a party that was very

472
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:44.799
<v Speaker 2>focused on TikTok likes. I'm sure that helps, but TikTok

473
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:48.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't get us elected. We became focused on data. Data

474
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:51.160
<v Speaker 2>is very important, but to be a social democratic movement

475
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:55.960
<v Speaker 2>you need to go back to reinvigorating the writing association.

476
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:59.240
<v Speaker 2>So I want a leader that isn't less worried about

477
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.000
<v Speaker 2>big ideas. We got boxes of big ideas, as new

478
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Democrats are got big ideas going back to the nineteen sixties,

479
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:08.079
<v Speaker 2>we're still waiting to enact. What we need is to

480
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:11.519
<v Speaker 2>make a party again that people feel like they belong to.

481
00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:15.440
<v Speaker 7>And announced an interim leader and then clearly three of

482
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:18.240
<v Speaker 7>the MP's at least that spoke publicly didn't even know

483
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:21.440
<v Speaker 7>about that. Does that what's going on there? That's a breakdown,

484
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:23.279
<v Speaker 7>isn't it? Of what's happening the party?

485
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:26.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what happened there. I mean, obviously this

486
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:30.480
<v Speaker 2>ship hit the rocks in a dramatic way. I think

487
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Don Davies is to me an obvious choice for an

488
00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:36.359
<v Speaker 2>interim leader. He's a great negotiator. The reason we have

489
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.359
<v Speaker 2>National Dental Care is because of Don Davies. He made

490
00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:44.279
<v Speaker 2>that happen. I think that there was some kind of disconnect,

491
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:46.519
<v Speaker 2>But I think that the important thing is for my

492
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:49.160
<v Speaker 2>colleagues is they got to have each other's back because

493
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:51.200
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be a rough four years. But

494
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:55.240
<v Speaker 2>and I came out of the election feeling pretty burned

495
00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:58.160
<v Speaker 2>at what happened. But I've been out on the ground

496
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:01.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'm meeting lots of people who are actually about rebuilding.

497
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:02.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's the thing about us New Democrats. We're

498
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 2>like goddamn dandelions. It's like, once we're on your line,

499
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:06.599
<v Speaker 2>you can't seem to get rid of it. So the

500
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.960
<v Speaker 2>dandelions are coming up again and saying, okay, let's do something.

501
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:12.880
<v Speaker 2>So I you know, I think we're going to get

502
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.680
<v Speaker 2>through these these We will get through this period.

503
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:35.839
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Madame President, Distinguished Representative of Council Members, allow me

504
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:39.240
<v Speaker 5>to begin by expressing my joy to see in a

505
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:43.680
<v Speaker 5>dear friend and a colleague preside over the work of

506
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:49.559
<v Speaker 5>the Security Council. Let me express my profound appreciation to

507
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:56.680
<v Speaker 5>members of this esteemed Council for their attention, support and guidance.

508
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:03.079
<v Speaker 5>I'm so delighted to see the distinguished representative of Iraq

509
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:11.400
<v Speaker 5>and Kuwait participate in today's session. Award of gratitude must

510
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:15.159
<v Speaker 5>be given to the Secretary General of the United Nations

511
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:21.000
<v Speaker 5>for his continued engagement in the Middle East, including his

512
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:27.880
<v Speaker 5>recent visit to Bardad for the Arab Senate. Madame President,

513
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:35.920
<v Speaker 5>Distinguished Representatives. Between my last report six months ago and now,

514
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:39.480
<v Speaker 5>so many things have happened in Iraq which I would

515
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:44.719
<v Speaker 5>not list here. However, with your permission, I would like

516
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:49.880
<v Speaker 5>to mention the most notable developments at the forefront, of

517
00:34:50.039 --> 00:35:00.320
<v Speaker 5>which is iraq drive towards more stability, more prosperity and

518
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:08.039
<v Speaker 5>closer regional integration. My profound appreciation goes to the Government

519
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:13.320
<v Speaker 5>of Iraq for the humanitarian aid it has provided to

520
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:19.360
<v Speaker 5>the people of Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria, not to

521
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:25.000
<v Speaker 5>mention its support to the new peace initiative between Tekya

522
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:31.320
<v Speaker 5>and the Kurdestan Workers' Party, which, if implemented in good

523
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:37.480
<v Speaker 5>faith would bring peace, security and stability to the region

524
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:43.360
<v Speaker 5>at large, Madame President, Distinguished Representatives. Iraq is well on

525
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:50.559
<v Speaker 5>its way to another national parliamentary election set for eleventh

526
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:58.639
<v Speaker 5>November this year. Iraq's independent High Electoral Commission with Yunami

527
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:05.880
<v Speaker 5>technical support, are making notable progress in preparing for this election.

528
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:12.039
<v Speaker 5>Voter registration is set to conclude in the coming days

529
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:18.480
<v Speaker 5>and nearly three quarters of total voters have completed biometric

530
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:28.199
<v Speaker 5>registration so far. Yes, there are challenges, including logistical concerns,

531
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:34.400
<v Speaker 5>but i HECK is committed to doing its best towards

532
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:40.079
<v Speaker 5>a free, fair and transparent election with the participation of

533
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:47.239
<v Speaker 5>all Iraqis without fear and intimidation. In Army will spare

534
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:53.400
<v Speaker 5>no effort in providing the most professional technical support towards

535
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:58.960
<v Speaker 5>this end, including efforts to promote the widest participation of women,

536
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:09.119
<v Speaker 5>youth and minorities. Meanwhile, six months after the successful parliamentary

537
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 5>election in Kurdistan Region of Iraq last October, the formation

538
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:19.320
<v Speaker 5>of a regional government is still bending. Needless to say,

539
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:25.639
<v Speaker 5>a spirit of compromise focusing on shared objectives rather than

540
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:32.880
<v Speaker 5>partisan partisan division is the key to overcome this protracted impasse.

541
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.400
<v Speaker 5>There is no doubt in my mind that the concerned

542
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:42.920
<v Speaker 5>parties in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq will be able

543
00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:47.639
<v Speaker 5>to form a competent government that will serve the interest

544
00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:52.079
<v Speaker 5>of the people of Kurdistan Region of Iraq and Iraq

545
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:57.880
<v Speaker 5>at large. Here I would further like to emphasize that

546
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:04.920
<v Speaker 5>the Bardad Rebealed relationship is a partnership that necessitates ongoing

547
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:12.679
<v Speaker 5>dialog and collaboration grounded in the Constitution of Iraq to

548
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:19.280
<v Speaker 5>effectively address and resolve any outstanding issues between the two sides.

549
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:26.239
<v Speaker 5>And then President distinguished colleagues. More than eight hundred Iraqis

550
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:31.360
<v Speaker 5>return ten days ago from Al Hul Camp in Northeast

551
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:38.000
<v Speaker 5>Syria to Al Amal Center in Iraq, showing the governments

552
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:42.880
<v Speaker 5>of Iraq's commitment to accelerating the return process of its

553
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:48.960
<v Speaker 5>citizens with the supports of the United Nations. It is

554
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:55.840
<v Speaker 5>nevertheless essential that adequate resources are invested in supporting a

555
00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:03.639
<v Speaker 5>dignified reintegration of returning families and in ensuring affair judicial

556
00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:08.559
<v Speaker 5>process for the detainees who are being repatriated. And while

557
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:15.960
<v Speaker 5>Iraq continues to make important strides in addressing returns from

558
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:22.880
<v Speaker 5>Northeast Syria, the situation of Iraq's internally displaced persons continue

559
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:31.320
<v Speaker 5>to demand urgent to attention. Hundreds of thousands individuals remain

560
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:38.159
<v Speaker 5>displaced in Iraq, including one hundred thousand primarily the Yazidis

561
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:44.079
<v Speaker 5>from Sanjar, who live in id camps and informal settlements

562
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:55.239
<v Speaker 5>throughout Iraq under precarious conditions. Yes, the government of iraq

563
00:39:55.400 --> 00:40:00.960
<v Speaker 5>recent recognition of Yazid's land rights with over one thousand,

564
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:06.480
<v Speaker 5>three hundred ownership letders and nearly one hundred titles deeds

565
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:13.400
<v Speaker 5>distributed this year was a significant manstone. The Iraqi government

566
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:20.320
<v Speaker 5>has also been proactive in offering compensation to Yazid survivors

567
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:31.159
<v Speaker 5>and other minorities. However, creating sustainable conditions for the returns

568
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:38.760
<v Speaker 5>require more coherent political, administrative, and security measures. In addition

569
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:44.400
<v Speaker 5>to significant investment in job creation and local services. The

570
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:49.559
<v Speaker 5>Government of Iraq needs to accelerate the adoption of a

571
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:57.800
<v Speaker 5>comprehensive national plan for durable solution. The return process cannot

572
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:03.480
<v Speaker 5>just be physical radiocation. It needs to be a meaningful

573
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:11.880
<v Speaker 5>process that rebuilds life, lives, livelihoods and hope for the future.

574
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:18.639
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to speak now in Arabic, hollow her, what

587
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:44.679
<v Speaker 5>is at the heart of iraq stability and development. In January,

588
00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:49.400
<v Speaker 5>Iraq was reviewed by the Human Rights Council under the

589
00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:57.360
<v Speaker 5>Universal Periodic Review, a process designed to support and expand

590
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:02.760
<v Speaker 5>the promotion and protection of human rights in in every country.

591
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:10.119
<v Speaker 5>A total of two hundred sixty three recommendations are currently

592
00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:14.840
<v Speaker 5>being considered by Iraq for adoption at the next session

593
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:20.360
<v Speaker 5>of Human Rights Council. Progress is also being made on

594
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:25.159
<v Speaker 5>a draft law on minority rights and towards the adoption

595
00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:30.920
<v Speaker 5>of a national strategy to counter hate speeches. The United

596
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:36.599
<v Speaker 5>Nations is ready to continue supporting these and other human

597
00:43:36.679 --> 00:43:41.920
<v Speaker 5>rights initiatives and engage with the government of Iraq, our

598
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.199
<v Speaker 5>partner and the partner to the Inn Nations, and exploring

599
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:52.599

612
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:31.599
<v Speaker 5>the issue of missing Kuwaiti and third country nationals, I

613
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:36.719
<v Speaker 5>welcome the increase in field missions and the use of

614
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:44.760
<v Speaker 5>advanced technologies to identify national burial sites. However, there is

615
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:50.920
<v Speaker 5>a need to redouble these efforts, strengthen cooperation and coordination,

616
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:58.400
<v Speaker 5>including in the search of witnesses towards finding the remains

617
00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:07.519
<v Speaker 5>of three hundred Kuwaiti missing persons and provide long overdue

618
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:14.039
<v Speaker 5>answer to their families. I also rhiterate the importance to

619
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:21.000
<v Speaker 5>expedite the search to locate and return missing property, including

620
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:28.639
<v Speaker 5>the national archives of Kuwait, especially after the recent welcome

621
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:33.599
<v Speaker 5>decision to reactivate the Iraq Kuwait Joint Committee on Missing

622
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:41.480
<v Speaker 5>Kuwaiti Property. One other outstanding issues between Iraq and Kuwait,

623
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:47.320
<v Speaker 5>the resumption of meetings of the Iraq Kuwait Joint Technical

624
00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:51.840
<v Speaker 5>and Legal Committees concerned with the delimitation of the maritime

625
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:57.840
<v Speaker 5>border beyond Marker one sixty two is a welcome development.

626
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:05.840
<v Speaker 5>Continued efforts to rebuild trust and confidence between the two

627
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:12.920
<v Speaker 5>brotherly countries are essential for a for forging a more

628

642
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:19.039
<v Speaker 5>mandate ends, I would like to assure members of the

643
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:25.039
<v Speaker 5>Council that the Mission continues to pursue a structured transition

644
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:31.039
<v Speaker 5>according to schedule and in close cooperation with the Government

645
00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:36.800
<v Speaker 5>of Iraq, whom I would like to warmly thank for

646
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:41.719
<v Speaker 5>their help assistance and coordination. I would also like to

647
00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:45.960
<v Speaker 5>report to the Esteem Council that we have closed Unami

648
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:51.920
<v Speaker 5>offices in Musil, al Ma, Moosel, Belal Arabia and Karkuk,

649
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:57.599
<v Speaker 5>and we are gradually reducing our staff in levels, seeking

650
00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:02.320
<v Speaker 5>to balance the mission draw downs with our continuing, continuing

651
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:08.000
<v Speaker 5>mandated task. And this, as you are aware, in a

652
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:13.719
<v Speaker 5>context of serious financial constraints impacting the United Nations as

653
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:18.519
<v Speaker 5>a whole. I wish to reiterate my confidence in the

654
00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:24.800
<v Speaker 5>resilience of the Iraqi people and the determination of their leaders.

655
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:35.079
<v Speaker 5>Iraq is a nation of profound history, strength, potential and pride.

656
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:42.039
<v Speaker 5>By working together, Iraqis can continue to make meaningful strikes

665
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:59.800
<v Speaker 8>All right, good afternoon everyone. The Secretary General delivered remarks

666
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:02.719
<v Speaker 8>this morning at the opening of the UN Ocean Conference

667
00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:05.840
<v Speaker 8>in Nice, which is co hosted by France and Costa Rica.

668
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:09.119
<v Speaker 8>In his remarks, the Secretary General said that although the

669
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:13.159
<v Speaker 8>sea that has sustained life from millennia, we are Although

670
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:16.360
<v Speaker 8>the sea has sustained life for millennia, we are failing

671
00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:19.760
<v Speaker 8>to protect the ocean thanks to overfishing, plastic pollution and

672
00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:23.960
<v Speaker 8>rising temperatures. He urged all countries that have not yet

673
00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:28.039
<v Speaker 8>ratified the Agreement on Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond

674
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:32.199
<v Speaker 8>national jurisdiction to do so. He also issued a strong

675
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:34.639
<v Speaker 8>call to all countries to agree on an ambitious and

676
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:39.400
<v Speaker 8>legally binding treaty on plastic pollution this year. Underscoring his

677
00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:42.639
<v Speaker 8>support for the work of the International Seabed Authority, the

678
00:52:42.679 --> 00:52:46.599
<v Speaker 8>Secretary General said the deep sea cannot become the wild West.

679
00:52:47.719 --> 00:52:50.960
<v Speaker 8>Mister Kuteresch urged member states to advance progress on Sustainable

680
00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:54.280
<v Speaker 8>Development Goal fourteen, which is unfortunately one of the least

681
00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:59.199
<v Speaker 8>funded SDGs. He encouraged the conference participants to be bold

682
00:52:59.239 --> 00:53:02.039
<v Speaker 8>in all their efforts, saying the ocean of our ancestors,

683
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:05.599
<v Speaker 8>teeming with life and diversity, can be more than legend,

684
00:53:05.880 --> 00:53:09.800
<v Speaker 8>It can be our legacy. In the afternoon, the Secretary

685
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:12.239
<v Speaker 8>General spoke at the Africa for the Ocean event co

686
00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:16.079
<v Speaker 8>hosted by Morocco and France. In his remarks, the Secretary

687
00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:19.519
<v Speaker 8>General said that with over thirty thousand kilometers of coastline

688
00:53:19.559 --> 00:53:23.320
<v Speaker 8>and thirty eight coastal states, Africa is a maritime powerhouse.

689
00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:26.840
<v Speaker 8>Its futures also written in the water, as, he said,

690
00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:31.039
<v Speaker 8>adding that this blue wealth is too often undervalued and overexploited.

691
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:35.159
<v Speaker 8>He said that investments of too often bypassed Africa, even

692
00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:39.679
<v Speaker 8>as its marine resources were exploited by others. Also this afternoon,

693
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:42.440
<v Speaker 8>the Secretary General had a productive meeting with civil society

694
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:46.559
<v Speaker 8>representatives from around the world active in ocean action. He

695
00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:50.239
<v Speaker 8>highlighted the current paradox. Despite major breakthroughs such as the

696
00:53:50.320 --> 00:53:54.039
<v Speaker 8>Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the Agreement on Marine

697
00:53:54.119 --> 00:53:58.679
<v Speaker 8>Biological Diversity of Areas beyond national jurisdiction, the crisis facing

698
00:53:58.719 --> 00:54:03.119
<v Speaker 8>the oceans is worsening. The Secretary General noted similar dynamics

699
00:54:03.159 --> 00:54:07.199
<v Speaker 8>and climate action while renewable energy is expanding rapidly, emissions

700
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:11.519
<v Speaker 8>continue to rise. The ocean climate connection, he warned, is deteriorating,

701
00:54:12.079 --> 00:54:16.360
<v Speaker 8>marked by rising temperatures, accelerating sea level rise, glacier melt,

702
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:20.840
<v Speaker 8>coral bleaching, and growing plastic pollution. He also pointed to

703
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:25.239
<v Speaker 8>the threat of mass displacement from vulnerable river deltas. He

704
00:54:25.320 --> 00:54:29.320
<v Speaker 8>emphasized the importance of civil society perspectives, momentum and insights

705
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:33.119
<v Speaker 8>to accelerate progress and increase global attention on ocean climate

706
00:54:33.199 --> 00:54:36.719
<v Speaker 8>and biodiversity action. On the sidelines of the conference, the

707
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:39.800
<v Speaker 8>Secretary General held a number of bilateral meetings. We shared

708
00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:43.679
<v Speaker 8>the readouts of those meetings with you. Turning to the

709
00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:46.639
<v Speaker 8>worsening emergency in Gaza, the Office for the Coordination of

710
00:54:46.719 --> 00:54:51.000
<v Speaker 8>Humanitarian Affairs says that the crisis has reached unprecedented levels

711
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:54.800
<v Speaker 8>of despair as people continue to go hungry across Gaza.

712
00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:57.920
<v Speaker 8>Many are forced to risk their lives in search of food,

713
00:54:58.360 --> 00:55:00.639
<v Speaker 8>as we receive more reports of people being killed and

714
00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:05.920
<v Speaker 8>injured near non un distribution sites. According to the International

715
00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:08.239
<v Speaker 8>Committee of the Red Cross, just this morning, twenty nine

716
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:11.360
<v Speaker 8>casualties arrived at the ICRC Field Hospital in West Ruffa,

717
00:55:11.920 --> 00:55:15.719
<v Speaker 8>eight of whom were dead. Almost all had explosive trauma wounds,

718
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:20.039
<v Speaker 8>with two others admitted with gunshot wounds. The UN REID

719
00:55:20.119 --> 00:55:23.800
<v Speaker 8>rates that civilians must always be protected. No person anywhere

720
00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:26.800
<v Speaker 8>should be forced to choose between risking one's life and

721
00:55:26.920 --> 00:55:31.079
<v Speaker 8>feeding one's family. Fuel stocks in Gaza are critically low,

722
00:55:31.239 --> 00:55:35.519
<v Speaker 8>putting further strain on critical services and humanitarian operations. Over

723
00:55:35.559 --> 00:55:37.840
<v Speaker 8>the weekend, some two hundred and sixty thousand liters of

724
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:41.519
<v Speaker 8>fuel were looted in northern Gaza. Prior to this, the

725
00:55:41.639 --> 00:55:44.440
<v Speaker 8>UN had repeatedly attempted to reach these stocks to retrieve them,

726
00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:48.679
<v Speaker 8>but these attempts were denied by Israeli authorities. Since the

727
00:55:48.760 --> 00:55:51.519
<v Speaker 8>fifteenth of May, the missions to retrieve this fuel were

728
00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:55.960
<v Speaker 8>denied by Disraeli authorities fourteen times. Our attempts to reach

729
00:55:56.000 --> 00:55:58.519
<v Speaker 8>fuel supplies in Ruffa and the south of Gaza also

730
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:02.320
<v Speaker 8>continue to be denied. The UN warrants that unless a

731
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:05.079
<v Speaker 8>solution is found in the coming days, the entire aid

732
00:56:05.159 --> 00:56:09.440
<v Speaker 8>operation could come to a standstill. Since the Israeli authorities

733
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:12.800
<v Speaker 8>allowed limited amounts of aid to enter Gaza on nineteenth

734
00:56:12.840 --> 00:56:15.800
<v Speaker 8>of May, the UN and our partners have only been

735
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:18.840
<v Speaker 8>able to collect about four thousand, six hundred metric tons

736
00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:22.360
<v Speaker 8>of wheat flour from the Karrem Shalom crossing. Most of

737
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:25.599
<v Speaker 8>it was taken by desperate, starving people before the supplies

738
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:29.320
<v Speaker 8>reached their destinations. In some cases, the supplies were looted

739
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:33.599
<v Speaker 8>by armed gangs. We reiterate that Israel, as the occupying power,

740
00:56:33.639 --> 00:56:37.280
<v Speaker 8>bears responsibility with regards to public order and safety in Gaza.

741
00:56:38.039 --> 00:56:41.000
<v Speaker 8>That should include letting in far more essential supplies through

742
00:56:41.079 --> 00:56:44.440
<v Speaker 8>multiple crossings and routes to meet humanitarian needs and help

743
00:56:44.559 --> 00:56:48.440
<v Speaker 8>reduce looting. Our partners working on food security in Gaza

744
00:56:48.679 --> 00:56:51.400
<v Speaker 8>estimate that between eight thousand and ten thousand metric tons

745
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:54.719
<v Speaker 8>of wheat flour is required to reach all families across

746
00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:57.559
<v Speaker 8>the strip with at least a single bag of flour

747
00:56:57.800 --> 00:57:00.480
<v Speaker 8>to ease the pressure on markets and reduce the saspiration

748
00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:06.199
<v Speaker 8>alongside other diverse food supplies. Beyond this, the sustained and

749
00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:09.199
<v Speaker 8>unrestricted flow of aid into Gaza must resume as soon

750
00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:13.280
<v Speaker 8>as possible. Over the weekend, there were no missions to

751
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:16.880
<v Speaker 8>collect supplies from the Cream Shalom crossing. The Israeli authorities

752
00:57:17.079 --> 00:57:19.440
<v Speaker 8>informed us that the crossing would remain closed on Friday

753
00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:22.719
<v Speaker 8>and Saturday. We also continue to face major impediments that

754
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:26.440
<v Speaker 8>hamper our ability to conduct these operations. These impediments include

755
00:57:26.519 --> 00:57:31.360
<v Speaker 8>unacceptably dangerous routes, a severe shortage of vetted drivers, and delays,

756
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:33.920
<v Speaker 8>with our teams having to wait often for hours for

757
00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:37.800
<v Speaker 8>military activities to pause. Today, the UN is leading a

758
00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:40.599
<v Speaker 8>mission to deliver supplies that entered via Krem Shalom to

759
00:57:40.679 --> 00:57:44.000
<v Speaker 8>Gaza City. That movement is still ongoing, so we won't

760
00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:47.960
<v Speaker 8>have more to share before tomorrow. Meanwhile, in the West Bank,

761
00:57:48.239 --> 00:57:51.199
<v Speaker 8>operations by the Israeli forces in the north have continued

762
00:57:51.239 --> 00:57:54.880
<v Speaker 8>over the past week, destroying roads and disrupting Palestinian's access

763
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:59.199
<v Speaker 8>to central services. Dun and our Humaniteian partners continued to respond,

764
00:57:59.280 --> 00:58:03.840
<v Speaker 8>including by providing water, sanitation and hygiene assistance to tens

765
00:58:03.880 --> 00:58:07.320
<v Speaker 8>of thousands of displaced Palestinians in the northern West Bank.

766
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:11.840
<v Speaker 8>Turning to Lebanon, the Office for the Coronation of Humanchean

767
00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:15.719
<v Speaker 8>Affairs remains gravely concerned by the humanitarian impact of ongoing

768
00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:19.760
<v Speaker 8>military activities on civilians, including at the wake of Israel's

769
00:58:19.760 --> 00:58:23.519
<v Speaker 8>air strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs late last Thursday, just

770
00:58:23.559 --> 00:58:27.400
<v Speaker 8>ahead of Idealaza. Additional strikes were recorded in the southern

771
00:58:27.480 --> 00:58:31.960
<v Speaker 8>village of Ainicana that same night. Thousands of residents from

772
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:35.079
<v Speaker 8>the densely populated neighborhoods targeted by the Israeli air strikes

773
00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:38.840
<v Speaker 8>on June fifth fled their homes following displacement orders. This

774
00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:41.800
<v Speaker 8>marks the fourth such strike on Beirut Since the cessation

775
00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:44.840
<v Speaker 8>of hostilities came into effect in November twenty twenty four.

776
00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:49.199
<v Speaker 8>Civilians in Lebanon continued to be affected by Israeli military operations,

777
00:58:49.599 --> 00:58:53.559
<v Speaker 8>exacerbating protection concerns, impeding the safe return of displaced people,

778
00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:58.960
<v Speaker 8>hindering humanitarian access, and further driving needs along the Blue Line.

779
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:04.360
<v Speaker 8>Hostilities of prison on a near daily basis, including artillery, shelling, demolitions,

780
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:07.719
<v Speaker 8>and air strikes, particularly in areas where the Israeli Army

781
00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:11.360
<v Speaker 8>maintains a military presence and has erected physical barricades and

782
00:59:11.480 --> 00:59:16.920
<v Speaker 8>warning signage. Preliminary official estimates by the Beirut Area Reconstruction

783
00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:20.760
<v Speaker 8>Committee indicate extensive damage from the airstrikes, including to a

784
00:59:20.800 --> 00:59:25.760
<v Speaker 8>school for people with disabilities. Nine residential buildings were completely destroyed,

785
00:59:25.880 --> 00:59:29.599
<v Speaker 8>while more than seventy sustained partial damage. Some one hundred

786
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:33.000
<v Speaker 8>and fifteen housing units were destroyed, reportedly resulting in the

787
00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:35.960
<v Speaker 8>displacement of about three hundred families who have been hosted

788
00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:41.039
<v Speaker 8>by relatives. Continued military operations by Israel in Lebanon remain

789
00:59:41.079 --> 00:59:45.679
<v Speaker 8>a driver of humanitarian needs, particularly in the south. According

790
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:48.679
<v Speaker 8>to the International Organization for Migration, more than eighty two

791
00:59:48.719 --> 00:59:52.280
<v Speaker 8>thousand people remained displaced across the country, while over nine

792
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.280
<v Speaker 8>hundred and eighty one thousand people have returned to their

793
00:59:55.320 --> 01:00:00.320
<v Speaker 8>communities of origin. This morning, the head of our Office

794
01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:04.280
<v Speaker 8>for Central Africa, Yunoka Abdu Abari, spoke by video conference

795
01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:07.800
<v Speaker 8>to the Security Council. He first highlighted progress accomplished in

796
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:10.880
<v Speaker 8>the past months, including in Chad, which concluded its political

797
01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:14.760
<v Speaker 8>transition and in Gabon where progress towards full restoration of

798
01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:18.519
<v Speaker 8>the constitutional order was achieved. But against this backdrop, he

799
01:00:18.599 --> 01:00:22.239
<v Speaker 8>also highlighted the impact of budgetary constraints on humanitarian operations,

800
01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:26.039
<v Speaker 8>notably in Chad, with the twenty twenty five Humanitarian Response

801
01:00:26.119 --> 01:00:29.239
<v Speaker 8>Plan is currently funded at only nine point three percent,

802
01:00:29.719 --> 01:00:32.079
<v Speaker 8>compared with nineteen point five percent at the same time

803
01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:35.639
<v Speaker 8>last year. Turning to the work of his office, mister

804
01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:39.320
<v Speaker 8>Abari said the current financial situation is impacting his office

805
01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:42.679
<v Speaker 8>and forcing him and his team to rethink their plans

806
01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:46.280
<v Speaker 8>and working methods in a context where several electoral processes

807
01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:49.239
<v Speaker 8>are planned in the region this year and in twenty

808
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:52.920
<v Speaker 8>twenty six, Mister Abarri said the countries of the region

809
01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:55.280
<v Speaker 8>are resolutely committed to the principles and values of the

810
01:00:55.400 --> 01:00:57.920
<v Speaker 8>United Nations as well as to the Pact for the Future.

811
01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:01.199
<v Speaker 8>He called on Security Council member for their continued support,

812
01:01:01.480 --> 01:01:06.519
<v Speaker 8>particularly at this critical time and turning to Northeast Nigeria,

813
01:01:06.840 --> 01:01:10.320
<v Speaker 8>Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher has released six million dollars

814
01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:14.000
<v Speaker 8>from the Central Emergency Response Fund or SERF to respond

815
01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:16.119
<v Speaker 8>to the worst malnutrition crisis to hit the region in

816
01:01:16.199 --> 01:01:19.320
<v Speaker 8>five years. Mister Fletcher stress that we need to get

817
01:01:19.360 --> 01:01:21.880
<v Speaker 8>food to those in ursient need and get systems in

818
01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:25.840
<v Speaker 8>place to reduce the risk of future crises. Our colleagues

819
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:28.280
<v Speaker 8>from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitaing Affairs are

820
01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:31.679
<v Speaker 8>deeply concerned about the impact of escalating food insecurity in Borno,

821
01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:34.639
<v Speaker 8>Ademawa and Yobe states in the northeast of the country.

822
01:01:35.239 --> 01:01:38.639
<v Speaker 8>During the lean season between June and August this year,

823
01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:41.440
<v Speaker 8>one million children under five in these areas are at

824
01:01:41.519 --> 01:01:45.360
<v Speaker 8>risk of severe acute malnutrition. That's double last year's figure

825
01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:48.320
<v Speaker 8>and the highest number in at least five years. The

826
01:01:48.400 --> 01:01:51.039
<v Speaker 8>new funding from SERF will help partners meet the most

827
01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:54.559
<v Speaker 8>urgent nutrition and health needs of vulnerable people in Northeast Nigeria,

828
01:01:55.079 --> 01:01:59.000
<v Speaker 8>particularly women and children. Our humanitarian colleagues note that it

829
01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:01.920
<v Speaker 8>comes at a critical time, as brutal funding cuts by

830
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:06.559
<v Speaker 8>key donors disrupt humanitarian response efforts in Borno, Adamawa, and

831
01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:09.599
<v Speaker 8>Yoba states. These cuts mean humanitarians no longer have the

832
01:02:09.639 --> 01:02:13.760
<v Speaker 8>capacity to prevent a further worsening of the situation. Just

833
01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:16.239
<v Speaker 8>over a month ago, the UN and the Government of

834
01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:19.559
<v Speaker 8>Nigeria launched a plan for the lean season that seeks

835
01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:22.360
<v Speaker 8>one hundred and sixty million dollars for two million people

836
01:02:23.079 --> 01:02:26.400
<v Speaker 8>with life saving assistance. That's it for me. Do we

837
01:02:26.519 --> 01:02:28.760
<v Speaker 8>have any questions, yes, Deji.

838
01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:34.800
<v Speaker 9>Actually several questions. Last before last weekend, it's been reported

839
01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:38.679
<v Speaker 9>by New York Times and multiple outsource that Israeli Prime

840
01:02:38.679 --> 01:02:44.400
<v Speaker 9>Minister Nitan Yahoo said Israel is arming the opposition in

841
01:02:44.559 --> 01:02:48.800
<v Speaker 9>Gaza against Hamas. Would that solve the problem of the

842
01:02:48.920 --> 01:02:51.719
<v Speaker 9>situation in Gaza? To give more guns in.

843
01:02:51.800 --> 01:02:59.920
<v Speaker 8>There It's clear that what Gaza needs leased is more

844
01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:03.360
<v Speaker 8>our ammunition. What we need, and we've said this over

845
01:03:03.400 --> 01:03:07.360
<v Speaker 8>and over again, is a lasting ceasefire, the release of

846
01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:13.599
<v Speaker 8>all hostages and unimpeded humanitarian assistance. Having more guns, having

847
01:03:13.719 --> 01:03:17.199
<v Speaker 8>more armed parties increases the risk to the population.

848
01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:23.679
<v Speaker 9>And follow up another question, Greg Thumberg and the ship,

849
01:03:24.079 --> 01:03:27.400
<v Speaker 9>the charity ship has been detained by Israeli authority. I

850
01:03:27.440 --> 01:03:31.400
<v Speaker 9>don't know what's the position of the securucior general on

851
01:03:31.480 --> 01:03:32.239
<v Speaker 9>this incident.

852
01:03:33.199 --> 01:03:38.719
<v Speaker 8>Well, you're aware that prior to the flotilla traveling into

853
01:03:38.760 --> 01:03:43.119
<v Speaker 8>the area, our main concern was about the safety of

854
01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:47.119
<v Speaker 8>those on board the ship. As far as we're aware,

855
01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:50.480
<v Speaker 8>the people on board the Madeline appeared to have been

856
01:03:50.559 --> 01:03:54.760
<v Speaker 8>unharmed and we hope that that continues. Obviously, we'll continue

857
01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:57.920
<v Speaker 8>to monitor this situation. Yes, Adler.

858
01:04:01.079 --> 01:04:04.840
<v Speaker 4>For HUNDA. Reports circulating in Israeli media that the US

859
01:04:05.119 --> 01:04:09.239
<v Speaker 4>is thinking of pulling its support from UNIFOL. Have you

860
01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:12.400
<v Speaker 4>heard anything, Does n have any comment, Well.

861
01:04:12.280 --> 01:04:15.159
<v Speaker 8>We haven't actually heard anything about this. I mean, we're

862
01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:19.239
<v Speaker 8>aware of the media reports, but as you know, the

863
01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:23.280
<v Speaker 8>mandate of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, and indeed

864
01:04:23.320 --> 01:04:25.480
<v Speaker 8>of all un missions is in the hands of the

865
01:04:25.519 --> 01:04:28.119
<v Speaker 8>Security Council, and we'll leave it to the members of

866
01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:33.559
<v Speaker 8>the Security Council to determine the future of the mission. Obviously,

867
01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:37.239
<v Speaker 8>the work that UNIFIL has done since the nineteen seventies

868
01:04:37.239 --> 01:04:41.440
<v Speaker 8>speaks for itself, has been a very crucial component to

869
01:04:41.599 --> 01:04:45.920
<v Speaker 8>the safety and the stability of southern Lebanon. You saw

870
01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:48.280
<v Speaker 8>from the note I just read that in fact, the

871
01:04:48.480 --> 01:04:53.840
<v Speaker 8>unrest and activity across the Blue Line continues even now,

872
01:04:54.440 --> 01:04:59.480
<v Speaker 8>so the situation has not returned to a position of stability.

873
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:02.719
<v Speaker 8>But having said that, the current mandate goes till the

874
01:05:02.840 --> 01:05:05.480
<v Speaker 8>end of August, and we'll have to see what discussions

875
01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:08.599
<v Speaker 8>the Security Council has. Yes, please, based on.

876
01:05:09.239 --> 01:05:12.159
<v Speaker 10>Just a follow up on the flotilla, So Honesty International

877
01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:17.039
<v Speaker 10>has described the interception of the flotilla as illegal and

878
01:05:18.119 --> 01:05:23.320
<v Speaker 10>that the Israel has basically flaunted ic j rulings by

879
01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:28.480
<v Speaker 10>intercepting it and also its obligations as the occupying power.

880
01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:32.199
<v Speaker 10>Is this a position that the UN shares well.

881
01:05:32.239 --> 01:05:37.119
<v Speaker 8>I just talked about what Israel's position as an occupying

882
01:05:37.239 --> 01:05:44.039
<v Speaker 8>power entails. I mean to reiterate, it's it's very clear

883
01:05:44.079 --> 01:05:51.320
<v Speaker 8>that it bears responsibility for the safety of the population.

884
01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:56.239
<v Speaker 8>It bears responsibility to making sure that essential supplies get

885
01:05:56.320 --> 01:06:00.320
<v Speaker 8>in to meet you manage an AID and so we

886
01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:05.119
<v Speaker 8>will hold them to that. Above and beyond that. What

887
01:06:05.320 --> 01:06:07.800
<v Speaker 8>we have made clear and the Secretary General has said

888
01:06:07.840 --> 01:06:11.000
<v Speaker 8>this repeatedly, is that humanitarian aid must be able to

889
01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:14.079
<v Speaker 8>enter Gaza swiftly and its scale to reach all people

890
01:06:14.119 --> 01:06:17.000
<v Speaker 8>in need, wherever they are in the strip. That is

891
01:06:17.079 --> 01:06:21.960
<v Speaker 8>something that the activists on the Madeline we're also talking about,

892
01:06:21.960 --> 01:06:25.400
<v Speaker 8>and this is something that deserves to be at the

893
01:06:25.440 --> 01:06:29.400
<v Speaker 8>forefront of international attention. There's two million people and we've

894
01:06:29.440 --> 01:06:33.800
<v Speaker 8>said that the entire population of Gaza is at risk

895
01:06:33.840 --> 01:06:39.480
<v Speaker 8>of hunger. That's an overwhelming amount of humanitarian need and

896
01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:43.960
