United Nations Video: Lebanon: grave concern of explosions & Palestine/Israel: Displaced people- Security Council Briefing

Play Video: Lebanon: grave concern of explosions & Palestine/Israel: Displaced people- Security Council Briefing

Briefing UN Security Council members today (19 Sep) on the situation in the Middle East, Tor Wennesland, UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process expressed his “grave concern” on the "the series of explosions across Lebanon and rockets fired toward Israel in recent days," warning that these incidents add to the overall volatility. Wennesland urged all parties to "refrain from steps that will further exacerbate the situation and take immediate steps to deescalate." In his briefing, Wennesland also highlighted the ongoing demolitions and seizures of Palestinian-owned structures in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. He noted that over 550 people, including 250 children, had been displaced. He said, “demolitions and seizures of Palestinian-owned structures continued... citing the lack of Israeli-issued building permits, which are almost impossible for Palestinians to obtain.” The Special Coordinator also expressed alarm over provocative actions and rhetoric on both sides. Urging all parties to reject such dangerous incitements, he said, “a joint statement from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad threatened a return to the use of suicide bombings... while an Israeli minister said, ‘Palestinian prisoners must be killed. Shot in the head.’” Helen Clark, a member of The Elders and former Prime Minister of New Zealand, told the Security Council that the current approach to managing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has failed. She criticized member states that use their veto power to "protect allies" or "obstruct geopolitical rivals," warning that this undermines the authority of the Council. Riyad H. Mansour, Permanent Observer of Palestine to the UN, referred to a recent advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice, declaring Israel's presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as unlawful. “The Court reaffirmed the illegality of Israel’s settlements... stressing the obligations of the occupying Power to cease immediately all settlement activities,” Mansour said. Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon said, “this Council and the world must wake up to the reality of the threat Iran poses. The dark force driving the violence we see today is not a collection of independent groups; it is Iran pulling the strings," He said, “the Iranian proxies, Hezbollah in the North, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria and terrorist cells in Judea and Samaria, are all Iran's attack dogs unleashed to spread death and destruction across the region.” Danon further said that Iran is not only targeting Israel but is seeking domination of the entire Middle East, while the Palestinian Authority is being “utterly weak and impotent.”

CNN's KFILE found that Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website's message board. Robinson referred to himself as a "black NAZI!" and expressed support for reinstating slavery. Robinson denies making the remarks and they predate his entry into politics. Before the comments were unearthed, former President Donald Trump praised Robinson and called him "Martin Luther King on steroids." S.E.

Antibiotics have been hailed as a "miracle drug" since the discovery of penicillin in 1928. But now, more bacteria are developing resistance to antibiotics, making them difficult or nearly impossible to treat. One recent study (https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/16/health/antibiotic-resistant-superbug-infections-2050-wellness/index.html) estimated that these so-called “superbugs” could cause nearly 40 million deaths worldwide between now and 2050. Dr. Sanjay Gupta speaks to researchers exploring the use of naturally occurring viruses that destroy bacteria, to see if they can be used as an alternative treatment method when all else fails, and before time runs out.

Play Video: Russia and Iran use AI to target US election | BBC News

The United States election result will have major implications around the world, meaning many countries have an incentive to try and interfere to either support a particular candidate or simply destabilise America. This week’s AI Decoded explores the growing threat of generative artificial intelligence in creating deepfakes, which can undermine democracies - including in the US. Deepfakes use a form of AI called deep learning to make images of fake events. Iranian hackers distributed information about Donald Trump's electoral campaign to people linked to the Biden campaign, according to the FBI and US intelligence agencies. There is currently no evidence that the hackers received any reply from any recipients. The US has charged and sanctioned Russian state media executives and restricted Kremlin-linked broadcasters as it accused Moscow of a widespread campaign to interfere with the presidential election.

Dominique Pelicot, 71, has admitted to drugging his wife, Gisèle, and allowing over 50 men to rape her while she was unconscious. For more than 10 years, Pelicot drugged his wife, posted ads online, and filmed the assaults. Police found thousands of videos, leading to the arrests of 72 men. Fifty of them are now on trial. In court, Pelicot begged for Gisèle’s forgiveness, admitting his crimes were "unforgivable." Some of the accused claim they didn’t know she was unconscious, believing it was consensual. Gisèle has waived her anonymity, saying she never suspected her husband of nearly 50 years. The trial has sparked a national debate on consent, marital rape, and abuse. Pelicot, who blames his actions on past trauma, says he knew it was wrong but couldn’t stop. He now faces charges alongside the 50 men, who could face up to 20 years in prison.
