In the seat in a state of shock i am continuing to stand here in the state of shock and as many of you know when i started the presidency in the month of december i talked about credibility in the council and today we took a huge step backwards in credibility where it really matters russia in turn introduced its own resolutions suggesting to crossing points be open for a period of 6 months both on the Turkish Border this was rejected by 6 members of the council who labeled it as a cynical political move the United Kingdom voted against aggression text because we will not negotiate with a gun held to our heads over a cynical offer that would say fewer lives than we know is needed and that the u. N. Very clearly set out was necessary. The one year term for the 4 crossing points expires on the 10th of january and unless the Security Council can come up with a compromise resolution by that date it will be millions of syrians with no humanitarian aid.
