SECRETARY-GENERAL’S TRAVEL
The Secretary-General is Denmark today, where tomorrow he will chair the meeting of the Chief Executives Board of the United Nations which brings together the heads of the UN system.
Earlier today, the Secretary-General met with Ms. Mette Frederiksen, Prime Minister of Denmark. The Secretary-General expressed appreciation for Denmark’s steadfast cooperation with and support for the United Nations, including for its role as host of UN agencies as well as its constructive role as a non-permanent member of the Security Council.
The Secretary-General expressed appreciation for Denmark’s steadfast cooperation, as well as its constructive role as a non-permanent member of the Security Council.
Prior to meeting the Prime Minister, the Secretary-General toured UN City, the compound in Copenhagen that houses United Nations offices in the Danish capital. During a townhall meeting, the Secretary-General congratulated the staff for the work they are doing.
This evening, the Secretary-General and the heads of the United Nations system are attending a welcome diner hosted by the King and Queen of Denmark.
YEMEN
The UN welcomes the announcement made by the Sultanate of Oman regarding an agreement between the United States and the Houthis in Yemen on 6 May, and commend Oman for its efforts in this regard.
The UN had consistently called for restraint and de-escalation in and around Yemen and the wider region. We also have called for an immediate cessation of Houthi attacks against merchant and commercial vessels in line with relevant Security Council resolutions. We reaffirm the need for all to respect the rights and obligations relating to maritime navigation in accordance with international law. We remain committed to supporting the Yemeni parties to reach a negotiated political settlement to end the conflict.
The UN encourages all parties to engage constructively with UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg to this end.
SUDAN
Moving to Sudan, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher, expressed deep concern over the ongoing drone strikes in Port Sudan, which is a hub for our humanitarian operations and key entry point for aid.
Mr. Fletcher stressed that international humanitarian law must be respected and that constant care must be taken to spare civilians and civilian infrastructure.
Flights of the UN Humanitarian Air Services – or UNHAS – to and from Port Sudan have been suspended since May 4th. The World Food Programme, which manages UNHAS, says it will resume air operations as soon as conditions allow.
These disruptions are impacting the movement of humanitarian personnel into Sudan and onward to other parts of the country, further straining the delivery of urgently needed assistance. Meanwhile, OCHA reports that drone attacks have also affected the states of Kassala and River Nile. Earlier this week in Kassala, strikes near the airport displaced about 2,900 people and led to the temporary suspension or relocation of some aid activities.
Meanwhile, River Nile State is still facing a power blackout following a drone strike on the transformer station in Atbara on April 25th. The outage is contributing to growing fuel and bread shortages and long queues at petrol stations and bakeries.
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY
Turning to the situation in Gaza, our colleagues from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warn that the situation there is growing worse by the day. Yet we and our partners are committed to staying and delivering to help alleviate the suffering of the people exhausted by many months of fighting.
Attacks on schools sheltering displaced people continue to be reported, leading to casualties. Yesterday in Deir al Balah, an UNRWA school in Al Bureij camp was hit twice in several hours, with dozens of people reportedly killed, including women and children. Another school in Gaza city sheltering displaced people was also struck yesterday, with reports that 20 people were killed.
Across Gaza, community kitchens serving hot meals continue to shut down, as they use up their last remaining supplies. As of yesterday, one in every three community kitchens supported by the UN and our partners in Gaza has closed.

United Nations Video: Artificial Intelligence (AI) - ECOSOC Special Meeting | United Nations
The meeting will include an opening, two interactive sessions – one in the format of a fireside chat and the other as a panel discussion, and a closing.
- Fireside Chat: Emerging Trends of AI Innovations and the SDGs
- Panel Discussion: Building Foundations for AI in the Global South
The Special Meeting of the Economic and Social Council on Artificial Intelligence (AI) will bring together Member States, UN system experts, private sector leaders, innovators, and civil society stakeholders to follow up on the outcomes of the Summit of the Future, including the Global Digital Compact.
It will showcase the potential for AI to accelerate sustainable development in the Global South, paying special attention to the role of strategic investments, partnerships, and international cooperation in addressing foundational needs and capacity development.

President of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Bob Rae said, “What AI is all about is not going to be determined by a handful of actors, no matter how powerful they may be.”
Addressing the Economic and Social Council today (6 May) Rae said, “What AI is all about is not going to be determined by a handful of actors, no matter how powerful they may be. They're going to have to listen to the voices of the people, and of their governments.”
Also addressing ECOSOC today, Amandeep Singh Gill, UNUnder-Secretary-General and Special Envoy for Digital and Emerging Technologies, said, “The opportunities are immense. Just three weeks ago, clinicians in Benin field-tested a mobile ultrasound system whose on-device AI diagnosed tuberculosis with a 93 percent sensitivity.”
He also said, “And all of these challenges related to equity, excess, the divides, the opportunities and there are risks., plenty of risks would demand governance, would demand capacity, capacity related to policy in particular, would demand resources, financing. And we are at a moment where the SDGs are not doing well, where we are struggling to find less constrained fiscal spaces. So, this opportunity has to be taken seriously.”
He highlighted, “Africa put together has less than 1000 GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) critical for training AI models and just a single US company, meta has more than 250,000 GPUs. So, it just tells you the scale of that problem.”
He continued, “The African Union's continental AI strategy, the ASEAN guide on AI governance, the Latin American coordinated approach through the Santiago declaration, all of these developments tell us here in New York that we need to move forward with urgency on these three global pathways that come out of the GDC, but we also need to work closely with the regions, because the regions are dynamic, they are taking their own steps. And in a future where the UN has to be even more fit for purpose, I think there's no alternative to networked multilateralism.”
He concluded, “The GDC (the Global Digital Compact) provides us with a framework, but frameworks alone do not create change. The task now before us is to translate that framework, those principles into practice.”

BBC News Video: Pakistan accuses India of “lighting an inferno” fuelling fears of wider conflict | BBC News
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shebaz Sharif has said India will “pay the price” for carrying out airstrikes on Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashir.
Pakistan’s National Security Committee authorised a military response, stating that India had "ignited an inferno in the region.”
India said it attacked nine targets in the airstrikes, which it said were in retaliation for a militant attack on Indian tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir last month, in which at least 26 people were killed.
Pakistan said 31 people had been killed in the Indian airstrikes, while India said Pakistani shelling in response to the strikes had killed at least 15 civilians.

[Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe]
So is an all-out war inevitable between these two nuclear-armed neighbours. In the past the US has acted as a peace broker, but is the Trump administration willing to involve itself in another foreign conflict?
To discuss this, Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined from Delhi by the Emmy-nominated journalist Barkha Dutt who has reported from the frontline in previous conflicts between India and Pakistan. And also by Ayesha Siddiqa from the Department of War Studies at King's College, London. She writes extensively on the Pakistan military after serving as the country's director of naval research.

International Video: Trump hits foreign films with 100% tariff - what does it mean for UK?
President Trump has set his sights on the international film scene as he vowed to slap 100% tariffs on movies made overseas, in a bid to protect Hollywood.
(Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Mr Trump described foreign films as a "national security threat" and claimed the US movie industry was dying "a very fast death".
It's not clear how these tariffs would be calculated or applied, but there are already fears that it could cause havoc to the UK's own beleaguered film industry.
