and lava continues to flow from the volcano on spain's la panama island, engulfing everything in it's ah, the united nations general assembly is opened with a stark warning from its secretary general, in what's being labeled the most serious speech he's given yet. and thought he's a parish said the world that stands on the edge of an abyss. good parish told global leaders, it's time to act on global own climate change worsening conflicts. and the corona virus. us president joe biden also spoke of a decisive decade pledging to increase funding to fight climate change. the 76. the general assembly in new york is the 1st in person gathering of the leaders since the beginning of the pandemic. i'm here to sound the alarm. the world must wake up. we are on the hedge of an obese and moving in the wrong direction. oh well, there's never been more threatened, or more divided. we faced the great this cascade of cries in our lifetimes. coffee 19 pandemic, a supersize, the glaring in the qualities. the climate cried this pummeling the planet upheaval from afghanistan with your p we. m and beyond s swatted piece allows us there is like hannah, is that the united nations for mike the un secretary general at times is found the deeply frustrated in that speech concerned. i guess that the message that he is trying to impart so passionately may be falling on their fears. well, certainly it's probably the most despairing speech i've heard by un secretary general on this type of occasion. good terrorists, clearly deeply frustrated with a number of global issues and speaking very directly to all these problems he outlined what he says are 6 points of difference. 6 bridges that need to be cross these range from gender disparity, income disparity, the covert inequality, the vaccine inequality. all of these issues looking at very, very strongly climate change as well. he pointed out that with a massive climate change conference coming up in glasgow, all the participants are still miles away from reaching some form of coherent illusions to suggest and discuss. but also very unusually. for a secondary general, he was sharply critical not directly about reading between the lines. he was shopping critical of the us and its recent deal with australia and the u. k. on the matter of things like on to put your issue intelligence deal that excluded some claim, a large number of traditional allies. now the secretary general in reference to that said, specifically, world is creeping towards 2 different sets of economic trade, financial and technology rules to divergent approaches in the development of artificial intelligence. and ultimately he continues to different military and political strategies. this is a clear reference to that us bro. could alliance recently deal with itself. we heard from president biden, president biden made that corporate national unity. he hit the benchmarks as well. busy climate change has got to be board, dec, seeing the quality has got to be extinguished. he also went out of his way to stress the importance of traditional alliances, trying to back away or not make the out cuz the lions, the most important. this is what president biden had to say. we've ended 20 years of conflict gas then. and as we close this period of relentless war, we're opening a new air of letters, diplomacy, of using the power of our development aid to invest in new ways, lifting people up around the world of renewing and defending democracy. approving that no matter how challenging or how complex the problem is, you're going to face government buy in for the people is still the best way to deliver for all of our people. had to buy the speaking a little earlier as so mike, what are some of the upcoming speeches that we should be looking out for while everybody is going to be watching very closely the speech by the chinese president and ping and particularly with regard to that alliance forged by the u. s, which most analysts agree is directly in terms of countering china's influence in the, in the pacific. now it's being criticized by france, obviously it's being criticized by a number of european nations. incidentally, president biden did have a meeting with the australian prime minister on the sidelines of the general assembly. in the course of the morning. afterwards, the white house released the statement committing the u. s. to its traditional alliances, pledging to work, stating specifically with the e. u. and nato, this once again, as the biden administration attempting to back away or dampen that massive criticism. that is follow that output alliance. i says it's called but we are likely to hear from china a direct response to this alliance. chinese spokesmen have already discuss described it as a cold war type of thinking. we are likely to hear more of the same from the chinese president. my can with the latest, the un mike for the moment. thank you. ah . authorities in sudan

continues to dominate the picture across europe. in particular, in the east and in south west and areas, but there is still some settled weather around with some heat coming through in the south and in the northwest. if we take a closer look at brewton an island, we are seeing lots of sunshine coming through in southern areas of england. and we are going to see the fine and why weather continue over the next few days. not just the southern parts of england in particular, but also for france and into germany to the north of this though, it is looking rather wet and windy. we've got a wintry mix kicking into western areas of norway, denmark, seeing the wet and windy weather and the balkan states are in for soaking as we move into thursday. now, temperatures here are below average. we are going to, it is going to feel a lot cooler now for the south. the rain continues for much of turkey. we're going to see some really heavy downpours and storms around coastal areas of the black sea . we could see some flooding here for greece, a few spotty showers. we got a northerly wind that's gonna bring the temperature down in athens, but by the time we get into friday, the sunshine is going

symptom, jump into this dream and julian global community. if you are lied on youtube right now, you can be part of this conversation as well. this dream now does era. oh, a reminder now of the top stories on al jazeera, the united nations general assembly is opened with a stark warning from a secretary general in what's to be labeled the most serious species given. yet i'm pony with parish said the world, but stands on the edge of one of the police in the u. k. have charged a 3rd russian for the 2018. that poisoning of the former double agents said k screen. they also confirmed all 3 suspects. worked for russian military intelligence where people have been forced to evacuate their homes after volcanic eruption on one of spain, canary islands on sunday. the neighborhood of 2nd, they are still is the latest in the path of flowing lava. but towards top story now the un general assembly, which is currently underway and a pre recorded address surrounds president said the country supports nuclear talks that result in the lifting of us sanctions. we want nothing more than what is rightfully ours. we demand the implementation of international ruth. all parties must stay true to the nuclear deals and the un resolution in practice. 15 reports released by the i a have a tested to the hearing stuff, iran to its commitment. however, the united states has not yet discharged its obligation, which is lifting sanction. now, ron come, rabbi is a professor of government at georgetown university in katherine. he joins us now by skype from the professor. thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera. what did you make of the uranium president speech there any surprises or pretty much where we would have expected it's pretty much what we would have expected. we see that at least the iranians are seeing the biden administration as a continuation of the trump administration, with lack of substantive changes in the american position in the negotiations in vienna. and i suppose the lifting of the sanctions really as your mentioning is their main point didn't make any difference. do you think in that address whether it was directed a president by the no president trump? no, it didn't. i think what the ronny ends are indicating is that the american position hasn't changed. american president might have changed. administrations might have changed. personalities might be different, but the position remains pretty much the same. and what the iranians are trying to do is to ensure that if there are negotiations, there are some tangible and substantive outcomes and results as far as they're concerned. and how much pressure do you think that this speech was meant to have on the european powers? of course, you know, the crucial ones do play a key role in the negotiations. a fair amount, i think president racy, was trying to speak to multiple audiences. the americans, their opinions, but perhaps his biggest audience was the iranian electorate. the con, the constituents who expect do expect a tougher line from him as compared to the ro, honey administration, which was perceived by hardliners inside the wrong to have given up too much in return for nothing. and so i think race is biggest audience by far, was iranian audiences. yeah, i mean, i guess with all these speeches, you know, they have a global platform, but everyone's also, always thinking about how it plays back home, talk us through the situation in iran right now. of course we know a badly hit by cove with the issue of sanctions going on in the background. what kind of country did gracie inherit? while the racy inherited a country in dire economic straits. one that has structural issues in terms of its economy. but i think it's also fair to keep in mind that iran's economy has probably seen the world wars behind it. the world bank is indicating that the economy is on the, on the brink of some marginal and incremental growth. the corporate situation appears to be the worst of it seems to be behind iran, and iran claims to have acquired $100000000.00 doses of the vaccine. and, and of course he was iran just was admitted into the shankar cooperation organization . so there seems to be a sense of emboldened meant a sense of empowerment coming out of to on, which we didn't see about a year ago. and therefore, although there are deep structural problems, the economy, there appears to be a sense of confidence that seems to be the new guiding principle in teheran, looking a little bit beyond the iran and just listening to the other speeches that were held there. obviously, president biden as well, did you get a sense of any potential shift, especially in relations between the countries in the middle east and the u. s. president. right. and, you know, obviously making a big deal, and surprisingly that this is the 1st time in 20 years that he's addressing the general assembly as the president of a country, no war. do you think it does signify a shift though? not really well, i think certainly it does not signify as substantive shift in america's actual foreign policy, the way it plays out in the region. however, perceptions are often just as important as reality. and i think it's important to see how the regional actors and leaders here in the region are going to see president biden's speech. i think what they see is that there's very little mention of the strategic importance of the middle east or of the iranian peninsula of the golf cooperation councils. and the emphasis on the environment after they're on camera. apologies. we're going to have to leave it there. speaking to us from the well we're going to go back to the united nations general assembly were china's president, z, z ping is making his address. let's listen. we'll be suddenly commemorated by china . we will continue our active efforts to take china's cooperation with the united nations to a new level and make new and greater
