Inaudible. Australia is the same size as the united kingdom, authorities do not expect to repeat this summer but the bushfires and this extreme heat we have been enduring in Eastern Australia is a reminder of what has happened in the past but also a warning of what might happen in the future. So the authorities believe that, come the summer, conditions here in australia could be extremely unpredictable and dangerous. How are people preparing then . The authorities have been urging people for weeks to prepare their homes for bushfires in fire prone regions, as for the heat this is the fifth day of heat wave here in Eastern Australia, temperatures in sydney have been around or above 30 celsius for five days.

President zelensky does not really like this council, he does not think it has done enough to resist russian aggression, he cant understand why russia still has a seat around that table with a powerful veto but he knows it is the key forum where he has to make his case and gets a chance to look as russian enemy directly in the high.

What you think might be achieved at this this time . One of the things to recognise about the General Assembly is that while there are always specific events and signature issues such as climate or the Sustainable Development goals, one of the main reasons the event happens as it allows leaders from All Over The World and again there are many there, to get together and meet often on the sidelines and that some thing president zelensky is doing and something every world leader is doing. And so one can look at the headlines and the specific issues but in that misses the fundamental purpose which is that United NationsGeneral Assembly is where the world gets to come together.
