United Nations Video: Floods in Pakistan - UN Chief

Play Video: Floods in Pakistan - UN Chief

Secretary-General António Guterres today (27 Sep) asked, “how much suffering the world – particularly the most vulnerable countries like Pakistan – will endure before emissions are cut.” Speaking at an informal briefing marking one year since the devastating floods in Pakistan, the Secretary-General said, “I visited some of the affected areas that September. I will never forget the climate-related carnage I saw. Lives, homes, livelihoods, schools, hospitals – all obliterated.” He said, “while much of the water has receded, the needs have not. More than eight million people in flood-affected areas lack access to clean water. Millions depend on humanitarian aid. And more than two million homes, 30,000 schools and 2,000 health facilities were damaged or destroyed – and reconstruction has just begun.” Guterres said, “fossil fuel-based energy systems are a political decision. And those decisions must change. The science is clear; the shift to renewables is imperative.” He said, “my Acceleration Agenda and Climate Solidarity Pact show the way forward. And COP28 must see concrete action on both.” The Secretary-General called on donors and the international financial institutions to make good on the commitments that they made at the Conference that he co-hosted back in January.

Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Pakistan  - Middle East  - Security Council/Syria  - Armenia/Azerbaijan  - Libya  - Mali - Central African Republic  - Costa Rica  - Senior Personnel Appointment  - World Tourism Day  - Briefing Tomorrow  PAKISTAN At 3 p.m., this afternoon, the Secretary-General will be speaking at an informal briefing marking one year since the devastating floods in Pakistan. He will be talking about the progress made on the relief efforts as well as reconstruction and prevention measures. He will also be calling on donors and the international financial institutions to make good on the commitments that they made at the Conference that we co-hosted back in January. He will also stress that while Pakistan is responsible for less than one per cent of the greenhouse gases – its people are 15 times more likely to die from climate-related impacts than people elsewhere. He will underscore that no country can afford a climate breakdown, and all countries must support those who are most vulnerable. ARMENIA/AZERBAIJAN In a statement issued today, Alice Wairimu Nderitu, the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, reiterated her strong concern over the ongoing situation in the South Caucasus region in which it is reported that tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians have left the area for Armenia in the span of just a few days. She said the images of people leaving due to fear of identity-based violence are very alarming, indeed. She called on all efforts to be made to ensure the protection and human rights of the ethnic Armenian population who remain in the area and for those who have left. She stressed that protection and equal rights of minorities is a cornerstone of international human rights law and must be ensured. WORLD TOURISM DAY In his message to mark World Tourism Day, the Secretary-General says we recognize the vital need for investing in sustainable and resilient tourism, such as adopting zero-emission pathways and lowering energy consumption, in order to build a sector that delivers for people and planet.

Fearing discrimination for being gay or a woman should not be enough to qualify for international refugee protection, the UK home secretary has said. Addressing a US think tank on Tuesday, Suella Braverman questioned whether the application of the UN's 1951 Refugee Convention is "fit for our modern age". Laws have morphed from helping those fleeing persecution to those fearing bias, she argued. Labour accused her of having "given up on fixing" the asylum system.

'Over 50 Arrested After Mobs Ransack Philadelphia Stores' More than 50 people have been arrested after groups of teenagers swarmed into stores across Philadelphia on Tuesday, in an apparently coordinated effort, stuffing bags with merchandise, before fleeing. The ransacking followed an earlier peaceful protest over a judge’s decision to dismiss murder and other charges against a Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed a driver through a rolled-up window. Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford says the ransacking wasn't connected to the protest and called the groups “criminal opportunists.” Videos posted on social media show the scale of the chaos as Apple, Footlocker and Lululemon stores were ransacked. #philadelphia #riots #viral #news Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/

On Sunday, rocks plucked from the asteroid 101955 Bennu will land on our planet, ready to be studied by scientists who hope this sample can shine a light on our planet – and how it came to be. The sample comes to us seven years after NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on a mission to study a near-Earth asteroid and three years after it successfully touched down on Bennu to collect a sample of an asteroid for the first time in the space agency’s history. Bennu is described as a celestial “rubbish pile” that is made up of material dating back billions of years to when the solar system was forming. And as Alyssa Julie reports, scientists believe its rocks could hold a record of that time period.

Punishing winds, a severe drought and invasive grass created the perfect conditions for the devastating fires on Maui that have so far killed at least 67 people, experts say. The exact cause of the fires is yet to be determined but the National Weather Service had issued warnings for high winds and dry weather as Hurricane Dora brushed south of Hawaii. Craig Clements, a meteorology professor at San Jose State University, said Maui had already been in a severe drought, putting it at risk for fires. He said the steep mountains overlooking the hard-hit town of Lahain also exacerbated the high wind conditions, sending them into populated areas at high speed.

The coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a King of England has his coronation televised and only the second-ever British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. It’s a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance, cloaked in mystery and steeped in centuries-old traditions…that comes from a healthy dose of historical pettiness and happenstance. During the ceremony, the monarch will be presented with the crown jewels, almost all of which were destroyed, altered, or lost to time over the often-tumultuous centuries of British history. While the crown is the centrepiece of the regalia – what do sceptres, swords and a Scottish stone have to do with being anointed to the British throne? Global News explains.

When Russia invaded Ukraine just over a year ago, the question was raised if China could be watching what happened to determine if it could launch its own invasion of the independent island nation of Taiwan. For years, Chinese President Xi Jinping has said Taiwan would some day reunify with China but outside of military exercises near the island, there has yet to be actual movement that has signified if Beijing would take the next step and try to invade. Sean Previl takes a look at the history of the country, the political conditions it currently faces and what could happen if China did take that step.
