Play Video: UN Chief on Human Rights Day 2023 (Dec 10) | United Nations

UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivers a message on Human Rights Day: “ 'All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.' The iconic opening sentence of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is as important today as it was when it was adopted 75 years ago. The Universal Declaration is a roadmap, helping to end wars, heal divisions and promote lives of peace and dignity for all. But the world is losing its way. Conflicts are raging. Poverty and hunger are increasing. Inequalities are deepening. The climate crisis is a human rights crisis that is hitting the most vulnerable hardest. Authoritarianism is on the rise. Civic space is shrinking and the media is under attack from all sides. Gender equality remains a distant dream and women’s reproductive rights are being rolled back. Today, it is more important than ever to promote and respect all human rights – social, cultural, economic, civil and political – which protect us all. The Universal Declaration shows the way to common values and approaches that can help resolve tensions and create the security and stability our world craves. As we work to update global frameworks and make them more effective in the 21 st century, human rights must have a unique and central role. I call on Member States to use this 75 th anniversary, and the Summit of the Future next year, to strengthen their commitment to the timeless values of the Universal Declaration. And on Human Rights Day, I urge people around the world to promote and respect human rights, every day, for everyone, everywhere."

On Friday, the US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, saying it was “imbalanced” and “divorced from reality”, and that it failed to clearly condemn Hamas for its deadly 7 October attacks. As one of five permanent council members, the US has the power to veto any resolution. Washington’s position attracted widespread criticism, including from China, which described the US as “self-contradictory” by expressing concern for civilian lives, but refusing to support a draft for a ceasefire.

Play Video: Hamas Fighter Shoots At Israeli Soldiers Through Wall in Gaza

This body cam video allegedly shows Hamas-affiliated fighters setting up to attack Israeli troops. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released the footage, claiming it was from a body-worn camera found on one of the fighters. The IDF also released this new footage of its infantry engaged in what appears to be intense urban combat. Here a militant appears to shoot through the wall at Israeli troops. The IDF claims the fighting took place inside a school building in northern Gaza and that they uncovered an entrance to a tunnel used by Hamas fighters. The release of the videos comes as civilian casualties continue to mount following Israel’s push into southern Gaza. The UN and other aid agencies have warned there are no genuine ‘safe zones’ for Gaza’s two million civilians to flee to. As the humanitarian crisis becomes increasingly desperate, Israel has stepped up its public relations efforts. On Friday the IDF released aerial footage claiming to show Hamas fighters firing weapons from a UN school. And on Wednesday it released another video showing weapons and rockets allegedly seized from Hamas. But international pressure for another ceasefire continues to grow. The United States, Israel’s closest ally, vetoed a resolution calling for a ceasefire at the UN Security Council on Friday. But it has been reported even US support for Israel’s offensive has started to wane, in the face of the sheer number of civilian casualties. #israel #palestine #gaza 'Hamas Fighter Shoots At Israeli Soldiers Through Wall in Gaza' 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/

'Israeli Military Close In On Home Of Top Hamas Leader'. Israeli forces are closing in on the house of Yahya Sinwar - a top Hamas leader. However, the IDF say they believe Sinwar is using a network of tunnels to hide.  It comes as Israel’s Prime Minister is exerting pressure on the Red Cross to visit the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza. There are believed to be 138 hostages still being held in Gaza. An expanding air and ground offensive in southern Gaza has displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians. The UN says it’s created ‘apocalyptic conditions’, with the ‘remnants of a nation being driven into a pocket in the south’. The organisation’s Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres has invoked Article 99 of the UN Charter, urging major nations to intervene.  It comes as the war between Israel and Hamas passes the two month mark, with an estimated death toll of over 17,000 people. #Israel #Gaza #news #hamas 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/

Play Video: Future of wildfires: What will happen to Canada's scorched forests as fires worsen?

After a record-breaking wildfire season in 2023, land double the size of Portugal has been burnt in Canada throughout the year, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC). At 18.5 million hectares (46 million acres), that’s about five per cent of the country’s entire forests. As the wildfire season slowly winds down with cooling temperatures, what happens to all the land and forests after the fires have been extinguished and nearby evacuated communities returned, especially with such a large swath of area affected? In the past, fires didn’t come around an area more often than every 30 years, with the lack of trees from recent burns helping regulate the frequency of the fires and resetting the local ecosystem. But now, experts warn that climate change may be breaking that natural cycle. “Unfortunately, what we're seeing now when we have these extremely intense fires is that, in some places, things burn so hot that they actually incinerate the seeds that are released,” warns ‘Dark Days at Noon: The Future of Fire’ author Edward Struzik. “The southern end of our boreal forest is going to disappear.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #Canada #Wildfires

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.

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.
