United Nations Video: Israel/Palestine Crisis: France on the Situation in Gaza | Security Council | United Nations
A former judge, Catherine Marchi-Uhel has spent a lifetime pursuing justice. Now leading the quest for accountability for atrocities and war crimes committed in the Syrian civil war, she finds comfort in survivors’ resilience and their determination to move on with their lives.
“In Syria, I was really struck by this lack of revenge. I haven't seen many people wanting revenge. They want justice. And that's really a very powerful attitude.”
Since 2016, the UN’s IIIM has been helping investigate and prosecute the most serious atrocities committed in Syria during the devastating conflict. In this episode, Catherine Marchi-Uhel reflects on the painstaking job of documenting brutality, the importance of preserving evidence, and how she keeps faith in the face of humanity’s darkest crimes.

United Nations Video: Gaza, South Sudan, AI & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (7 Dec 2023) | United Nations
Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Highlights:
- Gaza
- Security Council
- Artificial Intelligence
- Central Emergency Response Fund
- Democratic Republic of the Congo
- South Sudan
- Darien Jungle
- Civil Aviation Day
GAZA
The Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths spoke to the press in Geneva today. He said that the pace of the military assault in southern Gaza is a repeat of the assault in northern Gaza. It has made no place safe for civilians in southern Gaza, which leaves the humanitarian plan in tatters, he said.
The World Food Programme (WFP) warns that hunger is spreading widely in Gaza and people are growing increasingly desperate trying to find food to feed their families. Cases of dehydration and malnutrition are rapidly increasing.
Recent WFP phone-based monitoring shows that between 83 and 97 per cent of families are not consuming adequate amounts of food, and in some areas as many as 90 per cent of households report spending a full day and night without any food - some for as many as 10 days in the last month.
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that most patients and staff in the Kamal Adwan hospital in Jabalia were evacuated yesterday by Gaza’s Ministry of Health, and the hospital largely stopped functioning and ceased admitting new patients. This is due to the intense fighting in its vicinity, compounded by the lack of basic medical supplies, water, food and fuel. Currently, only 14 out of 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip are functional, and these only provide limited services. Among them, two small hospitals in the north and 12 in the south are reported to be able to admit new patients.
Meanwhile, eighty trucks carrying humanitarian supplies and 69,000 litres of fuel entered from Egypt into Gaza yesterday.
This is well below the daily average of 170 trucks and 110,000 litres of fuel that had entered during the humanitarian pause implemented between 24 and 30 November, and the average of 500 truckloads (including fuel) that entered every working day prior to 7 October.
The ability of the UN to receive incoming loads of aid has been significantly impaired over the past few days by several factors. These include a shortage of trucks within Gaza, with some being stranded in the Middle Area, which has been severed from the south; telecommunications blackouts; and the increasing number of staff who were unable to report to the Rafah crossing due to the hostilities.
SOUTH SUDAN
The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) participated today in a key meeting with the Government of South Sudan and partners on the status of implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement of 2018.
The Mission welcomed the recent deployment of the Necessary Unified Forces to Upper Nile state while urging the Government to provide necessary funds and attention to ensure a cohesive, structured security sector that can effectively protect civilians and provide a secure environment.
At the meeting, the Mission’s Deputy Special Representative, Guang Cong, expressed concern over reports of violence in the Abyei Administrative Area and Warrap State, as well as the fighting and mobilizations in Leer and Guit in Unity State.
And with only 12 months to go to South Sudan’s first post-independence elections, Mr. Cong encouraged the Government to enter 2024 with a renewed drive and a sense of urgency to implement the Peace Agreement.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Earlier this morning, the Secretary-General participated in the opening segment of the first in-person meeting of members of his Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence.
He underscored the significance of the interim report – that will be completed by the end of the year, and how important that report will be in the global debate on AI governance, including in the leadup to the Summit of the Future, which will take place in September here in New York next year.
The Secretary-General also emphasized that the report should put forward ambitious recommendations on how Artificial Intelligence can help empower humanity.
The meetings will continue tomorrow.

ODN Video: Israeli Military Close In On Home Of Top Hamas Leader
'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.

ODN Video: Iran Sends 'Mystery Animals' Into Space on Rocket
This video captures the moment Iran launched a rocket ‘carrying animals’ into space. But what animals were on board?
The ’Salman’ capsule is a step towards sending humans into orbit.
It successfully travelled to a height of 80 miles, according to Iran’s Telecommunications Minister.
It is unclear what animals were inside the 450kg rocket this time.
But Iran has sent multiple animals into space before, including rats, turtles and worms.
The most famous passenger on an Iranian rocket was this monkey.
It was the second monkey Iran sent to space and safely returned in 2013.
The first one didn’t survive…
As Iran gets closer to human spaceflight, western countries are worried that the same technology could be used for developing long-range weapons.

The crisis comes just six months after the country emerged from a historic drought…
…which brought the nation to the brink of widespread famine.
The country continues to be battered by heavy rains and floods, leaving thousands cut off from vital supplies.

This is the bodycam footage of a sheriff’s deputy in North Carolina who was fired and faces assault charges, after allegedly using excessive force on a suspect.
Charleston County deputy James ‘Hank’ Carter III, 39, recorded himself punching the man in the head multiple times after a car chase.
It appears the man is briefly rendered unconscious by the blows. Later in the footage Carter says “you enjoy that little nap?”
In a statement, Carter’s lawyer claimed “when the man’s hands were at his waistband, Carter had to make a split-second decision to protect himself and others”.
His lawyer also said that “The deputy had arrested the man before and knew he was out on bond for being a felon in possession of a weapon”.

Global 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.”

Global Video: How rocks from an asteroid could teach us about our planet
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.

Global Video: Maui wildfires: Wind, drought and invasive grass created perfect storm for devastating fires
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.
Alyssa Julie has more on how conditions fanned the flames of the fires.

Global Video: King Charles coronation: Crown jewels, centuries-old traditions and what it all means
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.
