United Nations Video: 2022 UN Chief's Priorities - Press Conference (21st January 2022) | United Nations
Press Conference by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, following the remarks on his Priorities for 2022 he will deliver at the General Assembly at 10:00 a.m. on the same day.
————-
At a press encounter after briefing the GA, Guterres said, “I fear the emergence of what I would call the twilight of shared values. Injustice, inequality, mistrust, racism and discrimination are casting dark shadows across every society.”
He said, “wherever you are, just look out the window. We must restore human dignity and human decency. We must prevent the death of truth and we must make lying wrong again.”
Turning to questions from journalists The Secretary-General said the recent attack on Abu Dhabi by Houthi militias “was an escalation that is regrettable, and in my opinion is a serious mistake, independently of the fact that it is unacceptable.”
He said, “any bombardment that targets civilians, or that is not careful enough to protect civilians, is of course also unacceptable” and added “that we need is to stop this vicious circle in which things get escalating one after the other.”
On the possibility of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, Guterres said, “diplomacy is the way to solve problems. Of course, any invasion by one country to another country is against international law, and I hope that this, of course will not happen in the present circumstances. I am convinced it will not happen. And I strongly hope to be right.”
On Afghanistan, he said it was “absolutely essential” for the Taliban “to have full respect for the rights of women and girls and to have a positive approach to human rights in general” in order to obtain international recognition and “getting international support for their own people.”
To conclude, The Secretary-General said, “the Cold War to a certain extent, the truth is it never became hot, because it was, there was a certain level of predictability in the way that Cold War existed. What we have now is much more chaotic, much less predictable. We have no instruments to deal with crises. And so, this is indeed we live in a dangerous situation.”
Given the sheer number of conflicts across the globe, the Secretary-General called for greater investment in prevention and peacebuilding, underscoring the need for a strong and effective UN.

Sergei Lavrov repeated denials that a huge Russian force assembled near Ukraine's borders would be used to invade Ukraine.
Antony Blinken said America would respond severely to any invasion.
Pro-Russian rebels control large parts of eastern Ukraine since a ferocious war erupted nearly eight years ago.

BBC News Video: Russia says “no plans” to invade Ukraine as more troops sent to border - BBC News
“We have no plans to invade” - that was the message from Russia's foreign minister after talks with the US about Russian intentions in Ukraine. His American counterpart said their discussions in Geneva had been "frank and substantive" but also warned of "massive consequences" if Moscow were to attack Ukraine.
Russia has amassed 100,000 troops near its borders with Ukraine. It's led to the western alliance, Nato, reinforcing its military presence in eastern Europe. President Putin has demanded that Ukraine be stopped from ever joining Nato.
During the Cold War the Soviet Union controlled most of eastern Europe, with the NATO alliance, which includes the US and the UK, ranged against it.
But with the collapse of the Soviet Union Russia lost control of those eastern European countries, and since then NATO has expanded eastwards, to Russia's borders.

But in the game of political chess, Wakeford’s move may have been at the sacrifice of his cause. He no longer has a vote, and backbenchers, who planned to file letters of no confidence alongside him, are now rethinking their position in the name of Party unity.

Global Video: The Next Hubble: Why the James Webb space telescope could reshape our understanding of the universe
NASA’s $10-billion James Webb telescope – the successor to the famous Hubble Space telescope – is due to be launched into outer space this week.
Rather than operating in the visible light spectrum and ultraviolet, as Hubble did, it will be able to look at the Infrared slice of the light spectrum, allowing it to see objects previously hidden to the Hubble's gaze.
Astronomers say it will kick off a new era into the discoveries of the universe. Alyssa Julie explains why.

Global Video: Billionaire space race brings new frontiers, challenges for future of space travel
On Dec. 3, NASA announced three U.S. companies that would receive over $400 million in government funding to develop commercial space stations – Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, Nanoracks and Northrop Grumman.
The International Space Station, which is now more than 20 years old, is facing retirement within the next decade and the agency is turning to the private sector in its search for a replacement.
NASA has increasingly tapped private companies, like Elon Musk's SpaceX, to shuttle its astronauts into space. As the private space race heats up, it's allowed the agency to turn its attention to new frontiers, but it also presents its own set of challenges.

From viral vector vaccines like AstraZeneca to mRNA vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna, they all have the same goal: to train your body how to fight off COVID-19. But, they use different strategies to create antibodies.
For example, AstraZeneca uses a crippled virus to deliver the coronavirus spike protein, while Pfizer and Moderna use mRNA, the part of the coronavirus' genetic code and teaches your cells how to make a protein that will trigger an immune response.
Global’s Gloria Henriquez explains how the different COVID-19 vaccines available in Canada work.

Feeling the pressures of a society plagued by climate change, soaring home prices, economic inequality and poverty, many young Canadians say they are feeling less than optimistic about the direction of our nation and cite the baby boom generation as one of the root causes of disparity and division in society.
A new study done by Angus Reid Institute, in partnership with Cardus, has found a growing divide between younger and older generations. As Erica Vella reports, experts say it’s a similar sentiment to the generation divide of the 1960s.

Global Video: Roe v Wade: Could the US Supreme Court overturn landmark abortion rights case?
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Wednesday, a case that could potentially unravel abortion protections across the country.
Justices are considering the constitutionality of Mississippi’s Gestational Age Act, passed by the state legislature in 2018, but later overturned in federal court.
The act outlaws abortion after 15 weeks, well before a fetus becomes viable, except in the case of a severe fetal abnormality or medical emergency.
As Alyssa Julie reports, abortion advocates are concerned the highest court, with a 6-3 Conservative makeup, could be preparing to roll back protections enshrined by the landmark ruling of Roe v Wade.
