N. General assembly this year around the World Leaders to live delivering their message via video because of coronavirus restrictions as we said we will return to the u. N. When it is time for President Trumps speech. That was the one from london with a chair of the European Parliament Justice Committee meanwhile the role of the German Military and push push backs has also come into focus and you have used old all right has been looking into this for us hi jill thanks for joining us how has germany been implicated here well the german bund is very moving you know or navy has acknowledged that one of its ships was in the aegean taking part in a nato exercise when on multiple occasions the greek carry out operations involving migrant birds now greece is deny that its done anything illegal in these cases however multiple n. G. O. S and Media Outlets have documented occasions where the great coast guard has pushed migrant boats back into turkish waters which could possibly violate International Law and on some of those occasions the engines were damaged the boats were towed or pushed back easyway force and they were left to drift the ngo bedroom says that some 7000 migrants have been pushed back in this way in this year so far we can see now a video that was filmed by migrants on one of these occasions on june 17th we can see the greek coast guard speeding cost in creating waves we can hear the distress of the people on board the boat and in the background there is a new. Ship now that ship according to the engineer Marie Le Baron is the a 1411. 00 which is a German Navy Ship we can see highlighted there the a 1411. 00 burly in a German Navy Ship that was taking part in nato exercises and the navy has confirmed that that boat was there this particular incident ended when the turkish curse god intervened and rescued the migrants now we spoke to a spokesman from the Ngo America Baram and she told us that the german navy is now clearly implicated in pushbacks instead of just witnessing illegal pushbacks behavior by then the coast guards the crew of the ship but then the rescue because a kinsey overcrowded radical is headed head of the mission in distress and there is a duty to perform a risk here in a situation like that as it is stated by International Mary team will. Ok so how is the German Military responding well the german bund as well as acknowledge that its ships do have a duty to rescue people in distress however it told the d w that if greek and Turkish Coast guards are fulfilling their of rescue in their own territorial waters that intervention by a german ship is neither required nor permitted and on one occasion the german navy did intervene and tow a damaged boat to the island of lesbos however the ngo narrative bedroom says that on multiple other occasions the german navy stood by and did nothing and on those occasions the german navy was a potential witness to a potential International Crime and should come forward with testimony and evidence now the european Justice Committee is calling for an independent investigation and for that reason its even more important to know what the German Forces did and what they saw to good news Jill Dougherty reporting for us thank you for bringing us that story now in conjunction with this weeks gathering at the United Nations climate activists and scientists are getting together to push politicians on the Climate Emergency scientists are clear on the impact of man made Global Warming and populations around the world are facing the effects. Ravaged by fire large swathes along the west coast of the United States have been devastated this years wildfire season has been one of the worst ever more than 11000 square kilometers of forest and towns have been reduced to ash and rubble entire communities have gone up in smoke all of a sudden the mountains were just a blaze a few days ago you know. To the east and i wasnt worried about it. All of a sudden it just came across without any warning and i couldnt believe. In brazil to the number of fires in the wetlands of ponce anon more than doubled in the 1st half of 2020 compared with last year. Then there is bought a guy could crater in the Siberian Arctic around a kilometer wide and 100 meters deep its been created by the melting permafrost when organic matter melts it releases Greenhouse Gases into the atmosphere and that speeds up Global Warming. The. On a small scale the processes we are seeing with crater are happening everywhere where ice melts underground the ground subsides thats taking place to look at that so when people look at the boats like i took crater they can see the perfect example of why you shouldnt joke about the permafrost. Rising temperatures caused by the Climate Crisis are leading to more drought the result is more and more intense wildfires grounded planes and nearly shuttered industry because of covert 19 saw daily Carbon Dioxide emissions fall globally by 17 percent in april compared with 2019 but levels are now increasing again experts say action is needed now. But i think. Its now the right measures are being taken if we invest into. Sustainable transport that we can avoid getting back to the previous levels but this requires political will with the activists and climate advocates do to take part in 20 twentieths biggest climate event this week in new york theyll want to kick start that elusive political will. Well earlier we spoke to stefan who heads up the earth System Analysis Group at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact research he argues that if the paris climate goals are to be achieved and missions cannot continue to rise beyond the end of this Year Missions are still rising but they should be falling by now because what counts really here is what we call the cumulative emissions that is the total of c o 2 that we have emitted since the beginning of industrialization and what that means that every year where we add more Carbon Dioxide to the atmosphere means that we also have to reach 0 emissions to still reach the same climate all say the goals of the Paris Agreement and. Already the last report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has concluded we need to have the global emissions by the year 2030 so we only have 10 years to cut the emissions enough and that means we have to stop now we cant even afford to lose a single more year. That was a climate scientist stefan stuff speaking to us here on you a little bit earlier in the day. Now rescuers in australia are fighting to free nearly 200. 00 whales stranded in Shallow Water off the island of tasmania 25. 00 of the mammals have been freed so far but an estimated 90 have already died this after 2 large pots became stuck on an underwater sandbar now there is hope that the other pilot whales can be freed over the next couple of days. Extraordinary scenes as almost 300. 00 pilot whales have paid the Shallow Water is of tasmanias west coast and they became beached on monday on the sand outside mcquarrie harbor. Its a location where these mammals often get into difficulty. And when you say large numbers like this its not surprising theyre very social animals and they are found in large groups also known as pods and force in this case we might have had a misadventure or some individuals may of navigated the wrong way and now theyve become stuck in stranded scientists believe up to one 3rd of the pilot whales have already died but rescue efforts to free the rest continue despite the difficult conditions weve got animals spread over a large area in a really challenging location sorry were going to bicycle the type the animals with the pace change to stop within the ones that we are able to deal with so if some animals might be simply to be you know not to look like asian to teach actually to you which. Pilot whales a response shes if you see on the dolph and they can grow up to 7 metres long and weigh up to 3 tons that makes freeing them even harder beached whales can quickly overheat and their muscles deteriorate. Although this rescue mission could take several days everyone involved knows its a race against time.

To life is enabling him to fly above and beyond hes disability. Ok lets return now to our top story our special coverage of the United Nations General Assembly it has kicked off its annual debate as the world body marks 75 years since its founding and there right now you see fixtures here of the brazilian president charles and now he is speaking the video message in this year where leaders have been for going meeting in new york instead addressing the forum via video like this because of the coronavirus pandemic at u. S. President donald trump is expected shortly we will be following that address live as soon as it begins and the debate comes one day after leaders addressed an official commemoration marking the anniversary most delivered a sobering assessment of global affairs. Facing what some have called a crisis of confidence the u. N. Markets 75th anniversary. A spouse crowd in new york gathered to celebrate the milestone moment with a coronavirus pandemic largely forcing the event online striking a positive tone the u. N. Chief praised the Organization Success over the last 7 decades now the more than history if weve gone so many years without that military confrontation between the major powers these are going to achieve ments which Member States can be brought and which we must all strive to preserve. The uns most powerful branch the Security Council though faced heavy criticism its often power lies by vetoes and disagreements in a clear snob u. S. President donald trump did not show up or even record a video message instead the host country sent its acting deputy representative. The United Nations has for too long been resistant to meaningful reform too often lacking in transparency and too vulnerable to the agenda of autocratic regimes and dictatorships in a recorded message german chancellor Angela Merkel called for further multilateralism even an expansion of members to the Security Council to stay relevant to find the United Nations can only be as effective as its members are united to all Security Council is all too often deadlocked when clear divisions are required before we need reforms the un must continue to develop in order to muster the clip which helen ges of the 21st century. The u. N. Faces questions whether its still fit for purpose many feel its the right time to assess its strengths and shortcomings. Our chief International Editor Richard Walkers back with us richard youve also been monitoring the General Assembly as its gotten kicked off and we saw some pictures earlier of the brazilian leader job also now delivering his video message and this is a country we should say that has been of the hardest hit in this covered 1000 pandemic so what is he been addressing yeah well last in america as a whole the whole region is really perhaps the hardest hit region at the moment and. Its quite interesting at the beginning of his speech they they played the video and then there was some kind of glitch and they had to Start Playing it again same kind of. Effect the u. N. General assembly. And yeah i mean it was it wasnt a swaggering kind of speech at least not so far which some might have expected from him but he was really trying to justify his positions on a number of things including on the coronavirus hes one of those leaders like donald trump whos been accused of kind of downplaying the importance of the corona virus which which he did very clearly especially in the early phase of it. He was making this point in his address that he said to the people of brazil we have 2 enemies we have the virus and we have joblessness kind of drawing attention that he wants to have you know fighting for the economy on an equal footing there will be many who do dispute you know his version of the way hes been handling that but i think this is a big issue on every countrys mind right now how to balance dealing with what appears to be a reemergence of the coronavirus in many areas or. Not even hitting the 2nd wave yet in some countries where things are still building up. How to deal with that in is in with as little disruption as possible to economies because i think theres the sense in many countries that the Economic Impact of this is really not yet been felt in the United States many people have lost jobs with the jobs market has come back to some extent here in europe youve got tens of millions of people and people put on these kind of short time working schemes you know where they would kind of cut their hours and really not have anything to do until the economy starts creeping back theres definitely a concern that as we enter the winter in the Northern Hemisphere that these schemes have to come back in more people could face losing their jobs so i think in the coming year this is definitely a big concern for many leaders no matter what their politics is how to kind of keep the economy going and not sort of fall into a major Major Economic crisis but you mentioned the u. S. So we are waiting for that video message from President Donald Trump who should be following to our boston are his video message and you know President Trump as we were talking earlier really is someone who is challenge the very foundation of what the United Nations is about this a shared value system and multilateralism and he has really been calling for reform but hes not the only one isnt he i mean is there is there are these valid concerns about the need to change the way the United Nations works and if so what does need to change yeah well the thing is of course there are different views of what it is to be reform but different people think Different Things need to be reformed i mean for the for the United States. The United Nations is essentially a body that if one does not this is not only trump this is many president s have felt this that it essentially is just restricts their freedom you know the United States is top dog here is a body that can inhibit its freedom to act. But for leaders. Of more kind of middle sized countries they see the united the United Nations Security Council in particular as something that can get in the way of solving problems because of the. Veto powers that the individual members the 5 permanent members of it have so is kind of at the forefront of calling for reform of the u. N. Security council and the german position is that they say that they want 6 new permanent members to be added to that so you would have rather than 5 a president of the United States russia china britain and france are the states that came out as the women of the 2nd world war you would have had 6 more she would have 11 permanent members and that would be on a regional basis so theyre saying they want to see asia 2 seeds of africa one seat for western europe and then one seat for whats called the others group and latin american and caribbean Caribbean Group respectively so theres a fairly detailed plan as well as adding additional nonpermanent members to that but the thing is of course the minute you come up with a plan like that people other people said well we want to different plans right so. This proposal comes not just from germany but its called the g. Force or germany india brazil and japan so all countries on this kind of leg middling powers could not is not suitable countries. Critics would look at germany and say well you know youre angling for a permanent seat yourself of course you would say that you know it so it is incredibly difficult to change these. Bodies once theyve become so entrenched and once the powers of trade think of you know u. S. Viewers might think of you know changes to the u. S. Constitution theyre very difficult indeed difficult indeed and we see here that were just about to start that video message from President Trump so lets listen in live to whats happening at the u. N. General assembly right now. On september 15th we all witnessed the results of President Trumps vision and perseverance which brought israel the United Arab Emirates and bahrain together to sign the historic Abraham Accords that unlock a new era for peace in the middle east this new era offers the region and all its people the 1st new hope for peace in a generation and the United States invites the palestinians to seize this opportunity to engage in that spirit earlier this month President Trump also brokered economic normalization between serbia and kosovo a breakthrough that charts a course toward reconciliation for the people in the balkans a region that has suffered too much bloodshed on north korea the president s fearless vision has shown remarkable progress President Trump is the 1st american president to meet with north koreas leaders americans held captive in north korea have come home there have been no new nuclear test no long range missile test a dramatic lowering of the diplomatic temperature in the region and an opening for a lasting agreement that brings peace to the peninsula it is clear that when President Trump speaks World Leaders listen closely in 2018 president tromp use the power of his voice to warn the assad regime and its russian and iranian partners to halt plans to attack it live province a warning they wisely heeded and which spared millions of syrians from the risk of death and injury as i sit before you today the u. S. Brokered peace talks between the parties in afghanistan are underway. Women now occupy positions within the afghan Peace Process and President Trump is convinced there is a clear relationship between women in position of authority and a brighter and more peaceful future for the Afghan People yet again the president has shown the fortitude necessary to bring together longstanding adversaries to work toward sustainable peace through his bold leadership grit dogged determination and an unmatched ability to break through the status quo and make a deal President Donald Trump has delivered on the promises he made to the American People and the world is more peaceful as a result mr president mr secretary general distinguished delegates fellow ambassadors and World Leaders my commander in chief and president of the United States of America Donald j. Trump thank you. It is my profound honor to address the United Nations General Assembly 75 years after the end of world war 2 and the founding of the United Nations we are once again engaged in a great global struggle we have waged a fierce battle against the invisible enemy the china virus which has claimed countless lives in 188. 00 countries in the United States we launched the most aggressive mobilization since the 2nd world war we rapidly produced a record supply of ventilators creating a surplus that allowed us to share them with friends and partners all around the globe we pioneered lifesaving treatments we do sing our faith tallinn the rate 85 percent since april thanks to our efforts 3 vaccines are in the final stage of Clinical Trials we are mass producing them in advance so they can be delivered immediately upon arrival. We will distribute a vaccine we will defeat the virus we will end the pandemic and we will enter a new era of unprecedented prosperity cooperation and peace as we pursue this Bright Future we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world china in the earliest days of the virus china locked down travel domestically while allowing flights to leave china and in fact the world china condemned my travel ban on their country even as they cancelled domestic flights and locked citizens in their homes the Chinese Government and the World Health Organization which is virtually controlled by john falsely declared that there was no evidence of human to human transmission later they falsely said people without symptoms would not spread the disease the United Nations by this whole china accountable for their actions in addition every year chided dumps millions and millions of tonnes of plastic and trash into the oceans over fishes other countries waters destroys vast swaths of coral reef and emits more toxic mercury into the atmosphere than any country anywhere in the world chinas Carbon Emissions are nearly twice what the u. S. Has and its rising fast by contrast after i withdrew from the one sided paris climate occurred last year america reduced its Carbon Emissions by more than any country in the agreement those who attack america is exceptional environmental record while ignoring chinas rampant pollution are not interested in the environment they only want to punish america and i will not stand for if the United Nations is to be an effective organ. Ization it must focus on the real problems of the world this includes terrorism the oppression of women forced labor Drug Trafficking human sex trafficking religious persecution and the ethnic cleansing of religious minorities america will always be a leader in human rights my administration is advancing religious liberty opportunity for women the decriminalization of homosexuality combating Human Trafficking and protecting unborn children we also know that american prosperity is the bedrock of freedom and security all over the world in 3 short years we built the greatest economy in history and we are quickly doing it again our military has increased substantially in size we spent 2. 00 trillion dollars over the last 4 years or our military we have the most powerful military anywhere in the world and its not even close we stood up to decades of chinas trade abuses we revitalized the Nato Alliance where other countries are now paying a much more fair share we forged historic partnerships with mexico guatemala honduras and el salvador to stop human smuggling we are standing with the people of cuba nicaragua and venezuela in their righteous struggle for freedom we withdrew from the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal and imposed crippling sanctions are the worlds leading state sponsor of terror we have literally did the isis caliphate 100 percent killed its founder and leader al baghdadi and eliminated the worlds top terrorist because him so all of maybe this month we achieved a peace deal between serbia and kosovo we reached a landmark breakthrough with 2 peace deals in the middle east after decades. No progress israel the United Arab Emirates and bahrain all signed a historic Peace Agreement in the white house with many other middle Eastern Countries to come they are coming fast and they know its great for them and its great for the world these groundbreaking peace deals are the dawn of the new middle east by taking a different approach we have achieved different outcomes far superior outcomes we took an approach and the approach worked we intend to deliver more Peace Agreement shortly and i have never been more optimistic for the future of the region there is no blood in the sand those days are hopefully over as we speak the United States is also working to end the war in afghanistan and we are bringing our troops home america is fulfilling our destiny is peacemaker but it is peace through strength we are stronger now than ever before our weapons are at an advanced level like weve never had before like frankly weve never even thought of having before and i only pray to god that we never have to use them for decades the same tired forces propose the same failed solutions pursuing global ambitions at the expense of their own people but only when you take care of your own citizens will you find a true basis for cooperation as president i have rejected the failed approaches of the past and i am proudly putting america 1st just as you should be putting your countrys 1st thats ok thats what you should be doing i am supreme lee confident that next year when we gather in person we will be in the midst of one of the greatest years in our history and frankly hopefully in the history of the world thank you god bless you all God Bless America and god bless the United Nations. On behalf of the general the i wish to thank the president of the United States of america for the statement just made i now give the floor to do this thing usually presenting both turkey to introduce an address by the head of state. Ok welcome back you have been watching the special coverage of the start of the u. N. General assembly the general debate in new york and that was u. S. President all trump speaking via video as World Leaders have chosen to do this year due to the pandemic restrictions on our chief International Editor here Richard Walker has been watching all of this with us richard President Trump really came out swinging the bat at china he really one of the 1st things he said i believe was to blame china for the china virus speaking about the coronavirus pandemic i mean what did you make of his message there yeah i mean it was yeah i mean i think overall it was we were both sort of his lightly kind of left reeling from this machine gun delivery when we have just like an incredibly compact very very rapid kind of donald trump greatest hits of his view of the world what he sees as his achievements and attacking those who see he sees as his kind of current great enemies and 1st and foremost that had sold as above everyone else is definitely china. We have to remember when breaking this speech down its an Election Year and the distillation which is weeks away from the u. S. Election. Listening to that you really got an impression that a lot of that was a not at the u. N. General assembly it was aimed at the audience back home his supporters and china is a central kind of pillar of his Election Campaign essentially because this year donald trump had been hoping to. Be running on a very Strong Economy obviously the coronavirus has. Made a big hit in the economy its put a lot of people out of work so its still in trouble start a ways to look at who can he blame for these things of course hes blaming china thats not to say that there was no criticism there. Very very serious concerns being around the world about whether china was fully transparent especially in the early days of the outbreak the as it emerged in Central China about whether they were transparent enough with the World Health Organization and with other countries around the world there are also questions about the World Health Organization to domo troubles or criticize in his speech about some of its actions at that time but still the political context is very important to have in mind and he went on to attack china not just on covert 19 but on pollution on Carbon Emissions on a whole range of things so is going to be interesting to see what she jinping will be saying which who we expect to be speaking later on of course thats unlikely also likely to be a recorded message so wont be a direct response but. But of course this kind of incipient u. S. China cold war really being laid bare in that speech you know give us an idea or put this into context for us as were just kicking off this General Assembly general debate with this message from President Trump weve heard that this is supposed to be about multiple multilateralism as a necessity not as an option and we really see this fault line between the u. S. And china coming to the fore right at the start of this debate i mean what kind of tone does that set for the rest of the session yeah well it sets obviously. A trump ian tone but everyone would expect that i think from donald trump its really no different but him and he spells it out i mean he said at the end you know only way do you take care of your own citizens 1st can you then effectively cooperate on the world stage and he said im proudly putting america 1st just like you and this is when he really was addressing the rest of the u. N. General assembly the rest of the leaders im proudly putting america just as you should be putting your country. Which is something that supporters dont try to remember i covered the last election in the United States people say that they would say you know you guys come from germany you should put germany where for america we put america 1st the thing is critics would say of course well you know if you follow that logic through then you can also really get to the brink of war because if every country pursues its interests really without respect to anybody else then that way lies conflict and that is actually the big concern between the u. S. And china where the early stages of this really major rivalry between them is this the century that sees a war between the u. S. And china and i think at the moment its hard to look at the polls that they are on not just the americans the chinese and say oh itll be fine people are worried about that people are worried indeed richard take us through some of the other points that we heard from President Trump it was something of a laundry list of the achievements that he said his administration is seen through during his time in power thats right i mean he defended the u. S. Record on on fighting the coronavirus which is of course. A matter of great dispute within the u. S. You know just past the grim milestone of 200000 people having lost their lives to the virus this is at the center of the Election Campaign defending his record on that. Making a lot of claims which the Fact Checkers and i think we will be Fact Checking that later in the day to day to look at some of the claims that. Defending his record on that. Turning attack to china then defending his record on. Peace turning to the agenda of the United Nations saying you know standing up for and he has had some diplomatic victories just recently in the middle east with. These deal. Between the United Arab Emirates and bahrain and israel both of those both those arab states middle east normalizing racial relations with israel so this is a diplomatic victory that donald trump can tout at this time saying that hes kind of fresh eyed approach to the middle east was what made that possible critics would say that these deals were more a kind of a byproduct of a failed
