Sports stars round on US president -Trump NFL row - news recevied - Duration: 2:34.
US President Donald Trump is facing growing condemnation from the sports world after his criticism of players.
On Friday, Mr Trump said the National Football League (NFL) should fire players who protest during the US anthem.
High-profile football players as well as basketball star LeBron James openly criticised Mr Trump in response.
One NFL team owner said Mr Trump's comments were "offensive" but Mr Trump has gone on to repeat his criticism.
At a rally on Friday night, Mr Trump said NFL players who protested during the playing of the national anthem should be fired by their team - referencing a controversial string of protests over race relations started by player Colin Kaepernick last year.
"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now... he is fired," he told a cheering crowd.
On Saturday night, the Oakland Athletics' Bruce Maxwell became the first Major League Baseball player to kneel in protest during the national anthem, mimicking the gesture of protest started by Colin Kaepernick.
ed York, CEO of the San Francisco 49ers - Kaepernick's former team - said he would continue to support his players.
"The callous and offensive comments made by the President are contradictory to what this great country stands for," he said in a statement
There has been no comment from many teams, including New York Jets owner Woody Johnson - a wealthy businessman and Trump campaign donor who was appointed as his ambassador to the UK.
Kaepernick's mother, Teresa, also joined in the backlash, referencing Trump's "son of a bitch" comment and tweeting: "Guess that makes me a proud bitch!"
On Saturday, Mr Trump withdrew an invitation to the White House to basketball champions the Golden State Warriors after one player, Stephen Curry, said he did not want to attend.
Curry - NBA's most valuable player in 2015 - said he wanted to show that he and other players did not stand for "the things that he's said and the things that he hasn't said in the right times"
"Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team," Mr Trump tweeted afterwards. "Stephen Curry is hesitating, therefore invitation is withdrawn!
In response, triple NBA champion LeBron James, one of the sport's foremost stars, labelled the President a "bum".
"Going to White House was an honour until you showed up," he said. Retired star Kobe Bryant also tweeted his support.
The Golden State Warriors, meanwhile, said the team had clearly understood "that we are not invited" to the White House, but would visit Washington DC on its own "to celebrate equality, diversity, and inclusion".
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he was disappointed the team would not be visiting the White House, but was "proud" of the players for speaking out.
Donald Trump spoke for nearly an hour and a half at his rally in Alabama on Friday. The audience of 10,000 was enthusiastic, but one of his biggest applause lines - outside of swipes at North Korea and Hillary Clinton - was when the president took aim at any "son of a bitch" in the NFL who protests during the national anthem.
The crowd went wild - and the president kept going, lamenting recent rule changes, in response to evidence of devastating brain injuries to players, that seek to punish the most ferocious hits in the game.
On Saturday morning, like an accomplished comic returning to material that tested well at a local comedy club, the president took to Twitter to fire off line after line attacking the NFL - and athletes in any sport who may have taken issue with his earlier comments.
This is a fight Mr Trump relishes. He knows his base will flock to him when he questions the patriotism of wealthy athletes. Lines about tax cuts and healthcare reform on Friday night were duds. No one cared much when he spoke of striking deals with Democrats.
The president knows his audience. And he knows how to change the subject.

North Korea hints at NUCLEAR SUICIDE attacks on US as it vows all-out war - Duration: 5:03.
North Korea hints at NUCLEAR SUICIDE attacks on US as it vows all-out war
Kim Jong-un's communist party has said is getting ready to turn the North Korean people into "bullets and bombs".
The phrase – which is usually taken to refer to suicide bombers – was used in a speech to tens of thousands of North Korean citizens attending a mass rally against the US in capital Pyongyang.
Other regimes have employed suicide attacks to overcome more powerful enemies – such as Iran's shock victory over Iraq in the 1980s. SUICIDE SQUAD: North Korean soldiers carrying packs with nuclear radiation symbols on them.
Islamic terrorists have used suicide bombers to take on the US and Britain. North Korean soldiers were spotted marching with packs marked with nuclear radiation warning symbols.
A suggestion at the time – that the Hermit Kingdom was preparing a unit strapped with nuclear bombs – appears to be coming true.
Kim Myong Chol Extraordinary pictures showed Kim Il-sung Square in Pyongyang packed with pious North Koreans shouting slogans and waving banners yesterday. A parade of top officials addressed the crowd – threatening all-out war with the US.
One senior party leader vowed to beat "mad" Donald Trump with "nuclear fists" – to rapturous applause.
NUCLEAR FIST: A poster at the rally shows missiles destroying the US Congress.
According to state news agency KCNA, Kim Myong Chol, department director of the Presidium of the Supreme Peoples Assembly, said: "We will beat mad Trump with nuclear fists of justice so that the US warmongers would not let out rubbish again and not run amuck before the DPRK [North Korea], and all the service personnel and people will become bullets and bombs to bring to an end the century-old confrontation with the US, with our exciting victory.
" One banner spotted in the crowd said "let us be guns and rifles defending the respected supreme leader Kim Jong-un with our lives" – suggesting ordinary citizens were prepared to die in suicide attacks.
North Korea and the US appear at their closest to war for decades. The US and Britain fought a bloody conflict with Kim's grandad 67 years ago and no peace was ever agreed, meaning both sides are still technically at war.
China backed its communist ally in that war – and security experts fear a new conflict would quickly spiral into an apocalyptic World War 3. The difference is this time North Korea and China now both have nuclear weapons.
The hermit state appears to determined to restart the bloodshed – and its officials vowed to win a "final victory" against the US with an "all-out charge".
Sin Yong Chol, director of the Political Bureau of the Cabinet, told the crowd in Pyongyang there would be a "volcano-like eruption of the faith and will of the entire army and all the people to certainly give vent to the pent-up wrath through the all-out charge against the wolf-like US imperialists, kingpin of aggression and war".
Again using the language of sacrifice, he called on the brainwashed masses to bring about a "final victory" by bravely taking part in a "do-or-die battle against the US".
The war of words between North Korea and the US seems to have been ramped up since Trump's speech to the United Nations General Assembly, in which the firebrand president threatened to "totally destroy" the North.
The regime said this was a "declaration of war" and foreign minister Ri Yong Ho told the UN a nuclear strike on the US was now "inevitable".

US bombers fly near North Korea amid fears World War 3 is on the brink of breakout - Duration: 4:18.
US bombers fly near North Korea amid fears World War 3 is on the brink of breakout
It comes after Kim Jong-un made a rare personal announcement that President Donald Trump will pay dearly for his threats and that North Korea was considering the strongest possible response – later revealed as hydrogen bomb detonation in the Pacific.
The Pentagon said it was a display of force designed to show Kim Jong-un the range of military options available to President Trump. This is the furthest north any US aircraft has flow of the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) in the 21st century.
Pentagon spokeswomen Dana White said the US were taking North Korea's reckless behaviour seriously after Trump's comments angered the North Korean dictator.
Dana White added: This mission is a demonstration of US resolve and a clear message that the President has many military options to defeat any threat. We are prepared to use the full range of military capabilities to defend the U.S.
homeland and our allies." The Pentagon said the B-1B Lancer bombers came from Guam and the US Air Force F-15C Eagle fighter escorts came from Okinawa, Japan.
The patrols came after experts said a earthquake near North Koreas nuclear test site was probably not man-made, easing fears Pyongyang had exploded another nuclear bomb just weeks after its last one.
North Korea also claimed targeting the US mainland with its rockets was now "inevitable" after Donald Trump mocked Pyongyangs leader, calling him rocket man".
North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Hos called Trump "a mentally deranged person full of megalomania and complacency who is trying to turn the United Nations into a gangsters nest.
Mr Ri said Trump himself was on a suicide mission after the US president had said Kim was on such a mission.
The North Korean spokesman capped off a week of rising tensions between Washington and Pyongyang, with Trump and Kim Jong-un trading insults. Trump called Kim a madman on Friday, a day after Kim dubbed him a mentally deranged US dotard.
He told world leaders: "In case innocent lives of the US are lost because of this suicide attack, Trump will be held totally responsible." Earlier in the week, Mr Trump had addressed the UN on Tuesday and threatened to "totally destroy" the North Korea if provoked.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, in an unusual direct statement to the world, responded pledging to take "highest-level" action against the United States.
Trump announced new US sanctions on Thursday that he said allow targeting of companies and institutions that finance and facilitate trade with North Korea.

President Trump's Remarks on the 70th Anniversary of the U.S. Air Force - Duration: 0:49.
The President: The characteristics that
define the Air Force aviator
-- boldness and bravery, action and instinct,
power and grace --
But there's something else -- there's a spark.
There's a desire to be good, to do well in the
eyes of their peers.
That desire to do good, to soar past every challenger,
to overcome every obstacle, and to win for your fellow
citizens and the land that we love is the same desire
that beats in the heart of every red-blooded
American patriot.
Because for America, the sky is never the limit.
(Applause.)

President Trump Gives an Address to the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly - Duration: 41:37.
The President: Mr. Secretary General,
Mr. President, world leaders, and distinguished
delegates: Welcome to New York.
It is a profound honor to stand here in my home
city, as a representative of the American people, to
address the people of the world.
As millions of our citizens continue to
suffer the effects of the devastating hurricanes
that have struck our country, I want to begin
by expressing my appreciation to every
leader in this room who has offered
assistance and aid.
The American people are strong and resilient, and
they will emerge from these hardships more
determined than ever before.
Fortunately, the United States has done very well
since Election Day last November 8th.
The stock market is at an all-time high -- a record.
Unemployment is at its lowest level in 16 years,
and because of our regulatory and other
reforms, we have more people working in the
United States today than ever before.
Companies are moving back, creating job growth the
likes of which our country has not seen in
a very long time.
And it has just been announced that we will be
spending almost $700 billion on our
military and defense.
Our military will soon be the strongest it
has ever been.
For more than 70 years, in times of war and peace,
the leaders of nations, movements, and religions
have stood before this assembly.
Like them, I intend to address some of the very
serious threats before us today but also the
enormous potential waiting to be unleashed.
We live in a time of extraordinary opportunity.
Breakthroughs in science, technology, and medicine
are curing illnesses and solving problems that
prior generations thought impossible to solve.
But each day also brings news of growing dangers
that threaten everything we cherish and value.
Terrorists and extremists have gathered strength
and spread to every region of the planet.
Rogue regimes represented in this body not only
support terrorists but threaten other nations
and their own people with the most destructive
weapons known to humanity.
Authority and authoritarian powers seek
to collapse the values, the systems, and alliances
that prevented conflict and tilted the world
toward freedom since World War II.
International criminal networks traffic drugs,
weapons, people; force dislocation and mass
migration; threaten our borders; and new forms
of aggression exploit technology to
menace our citizens.
To put it simply, we meet at a time of both of
immense promise and great peril.
It is entirely up to us whether we lift the world
to new heights, or let it fall into
a valley of disrepair.
We have it in our power, should we so choose, to
lift millions from poverty, to help our
citizens realize their dreams, and to ensure that
new generations of children are raised
free from violence, hatred, and fear.
This institution was founded in the aftermath
of two world wars to help shape this better future.
It was based on the vision that diverse nations could
cooperate to protect their sovereignty, preserve
their security, and promote their prosperity.
It was in the same period, exactly 70 years ago,
that the United States developed the Marshall
Plan to help restore Europe.
Those three beautiful pillars -- they're pillars
of peace, sovereignty, security, and prosperity.
The Marshall Plan was built on the noble idea
that the whole world is safer when nations
are strong, independent, and free.
As President Truman said in his message to Congress
at that time, "Our support of European recovery is in
full accord with our support of
the United Nations.
The success of the United Nations depends upon the
independent strength of its members."
To overcome the perils of the present and to achieve
the promise of the future, we must begin with the
wisdom of the past.
Our success depends on a coalition of strong and
independent nations that embrace their sovereignty
to promote security, prosperity, and peace
for themselves and for the world.
We do not expect diverse countries to share the
same cultures, traditions, or even systems
of government.
But we do expect all nations to uphold these
two core sovereign duties: to respect the interests
of their own people and the rights of every
other sovereign nation.
This is the beautiful vision of this
institution, and this is foundation for
cooperation and success.
Strong, sovereign nations let diverse countries with
different values, different cultures, and
different dreams not just coexist, but work side by
side on the basis of mutual respect.
Strong, sovereign nations let their people take
ownership of the future and control their own destiny.
And strong, sovereign nations allow individuals
to flourish in the fullness of the life
intended by God.
In America, we do not seek to impose our way of life
on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example
for everyone to watch.
This week gives our country a special reason
to take pride in that example.
We are celebrating the 230th anniversary of our
beloved Constitution -- the oldest constitution
still in use in the world today.
This timeless document has been the foundation of
peace, prosperity, and freedom for the Americans
and for countless millions around the globe whose own
countries have found inspiration in its respect
for human nature, human dignity, and the rule of law.
The greatest in the United States Constitution
is its first three beautiful words.
They are: "We the people."
Generations of Americans have sacrificed to
maintain the promise of those words, the promise
of our country, and of our great history.
In America, the people govern, the people rule,
and the people are sovereign.
I was elected not to take power, but to give power
to the American people, where it belongs.
In foreign affairs, we are renewing this founding
principle of sovereignty.
Our government's first duty is to its people, to
our citizens -- to serve their needs, to ensure
their safety, to preserve their rights, and to
defend their values.
As President of the United States, I will always put
America first, just like you, as the leaders of
your countries will always, and should always,
put your countries first.
(applause)
All responsible leaders have an obligation to
serve their own citizens, and the nation-state
remains the best vehicle for elevating
the human condition.
But making a better life for our people also
requires us to work together in close harmony
and unity to create a more safe and peaceful
future for all people.
The United States will forever be a great friend
to the world, and especially to its allies.
But we can no longer be taken advantage of, or
enter into a one-sided deal where the
United States gets nothing in return.
As long as I hold this office, I will defend
America's interests above all else.
But in fulfilling our obligations to our own
nations, we also realize that it's in everyone's
interest to seek a future where all nations can
be sovereign, prosperous, and secure.
America does more than speak for the values
expressed in the United Nations Charter.
Our citizens have paid the ultimate price to defend
our freedom and the freedom of many nations
represented in this great hall.
America's devotion is measured on the
battlefields where our young men and women have
fought and sacrificed alongside of our allies,
from the beaches of Europe to the deserts of the
Middle East to the jungles of Asia.
It is an eternal credit to the American character
that even after we and our allies emerged victorious
from the bloodiest war in history, we did not seek
territorial expansion, or attempt to oppose and
impose our way of life on others.
Instead, we helped build institutions such as this
one to defend the sovereignty, security, and
prosperity for all.
For the diverse nations of the world, this
is our hope.
We want harmony and friendship, not
conflict and strife.
We are guided by outcomes, not ideology.
We have a policy of principled realism, rooted
in shared goals, interests, and values.
That realism forces us to confront a question facing
every leader and nation in this room.
It is a question we cannot escape or avoid.
We will slide down the path of complacency, numb
to the challenges, threats, and even wars
that we face.
Or do we have enough strength and pride to
confront those dangers today, so that our
citizens can enjoy peace and prosperity tomorrow?
If we desire to lift up our citizens, if we aspire
to the approval of history, then we must
fulfill our sovereign duties to the people we
faithfully represent.
We must protect our nations, their interests,
and their futures.
We must reject threats to sovereignty, from the
Ukraine to the South China Sea.
We must uphold respect for law, respect for borders,
and respect for culture, and the peaceful
engagement these allow.
And just as the founders of this body intended, we
must work together and confront together those
who threaten us with chaos, turmoil, and terror.
The scourge of our planet today is a small group of
rogue regimes that violate every principle on which
the United Nations is based.
They respect neither their own citizens nor the
sovereign rights of their countries.
If the righteous many do not confront the wicked
few, then evil will triumph.
When decent people and nations become bystanders
to history, the forces of destruction only gather
power and strength.
No one has shown more contempt for other nations
and for the wellbeing of their own people than the
depraved regime in North Korea.
It is responsible for the starvation deaths of
millions of North Koreans, and for the imprisonment,
torture, killing, and oppression of countless more.
We were all witness to the regime's deadly abuse when
an innocent American college student, Otto
Warmbier, was returned to America only to die
a few days later.
We saw it in the assassination of the
dictator's brother using banned nerve agents in an
international airport.
We know it kidnapped a sweet 13-year-old Japanese
girl from a beach in her own country to enslave her
as a language tutor for North Korea's spies.
If this is not twisted enough, now North Korea's
reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons and
ballistic missiles threatens the entire world
with unthinkable loss of human life.
It is an outrage that some nations would not only
trade with such a regime, but would arm, supply, and
financially support a country that imperils
the world with nuclear conflict.
No nation on earth has an interest in seeing this
band of criminals arm itself with nuclear
weapons and missiles.
The United States has great strength and
patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or
its allies, we will have no choice but to totally
destroy North Korea.
Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself
and for his regime.
The United States is ready, willing and able,
but hopefully this will not be necessary.
That's what the United Nations is all about;
that's what the United Nations is for.
Let's see how they do.
It is time for North Korea to realize that the
denuclearization is its only acceptable future.
The United Nations Security Council recently
held two unanimous 15-0 votes adopting
hard-hitting resolutions against North Korea, and I
want to thank China and Russia for joining the
vote to impose sanctions, along with all of the
other members of the Security Council.
Thank you to all involved.
But we must do much more.
It is time for all nations to work together to
isolate the Kim regime until it ceases its
hostile behavior.
We face this decision not only in North Korea.
It is far past time for the nations of the world
to confront another reckless regime -- one
that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing death to
America, destruction to Israel, and ruin for many
leaders and nations in this room.
The Iranian government masks a corrupt
dictatorship behind the false guise
of a democracy.
It has turned a wealthy country with a rich
history and culture into an economically depleted
rogue state whose chief exports are violence,
bloodshed, and chaos.
The longest-suffering victims of Iran's
leaders are, in fact, its own people.
Rather than use its resources to improve
Iranian lives, its oil profits go to fund
Hezbollah and other terrorists that kill
innocent Muslims and attack their peaceful Arab
and Israeli neighbors.
This wealth, which rightly belongs to Iran's people,
also goes to shore up Bashar al-Assad's
dictatorship, fuel Yemen's civil war, and undermine
peace throughout the entire Middle East.
We cannot let a murderous regime continue these
destabilizing activities while building dangerous
missiles, and we cannot abide by an agreement if
it provides cover for the eventual construction
of a nuclear program.
(applause)
The Iran Deal was one of the worst and most
one-sided transactions the United States has
ever entered into.
Frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the
United States, and I don't think you've heard the
last of it -- believe me.
It is time for the entire world to join us in
demanding that Iran's government end its pursuit
of death and destruction.
It is time for the regime to free all Americans and
citizens of other nations that they have
unjustly detained.
And above all, Iran's government must stop
supporting terrorists, begin serving its own
people, and respect the sovereign rights
of its neighbors.
The entire world understands that the good
people of Iran want change, and, other than
the vast military power of the United States, that
Iran's people are what their leaders fear the most.
This is what causes the regime to restrict
Internet access, tear down satellite dishes, shoot
unarmed student protestors, and imprison
political reformers.
Oppressive regimes cannot endure forever, and the
day will come when the Iranian people will
face a choice.
Will they continue down the path of poverty,
bloodshed, and terror?
Or will the Iranian people return to the nation's
proud roots as a center of civilization, culture, and
wealth where their people can be happy and
prosperous once again?
The Iranian regime's support for terror is in
stark contrast to the recent commitments of many
of its neighbors to fight terrorism and halt
its financing.
In Saudi Arabia early last year, I was greatly
honored to address the leaders of more than 50
Arab and Muslim nations.
We agreed that all responsible nations must
work together to confront terrorists and the
Islamist extremism that inspires them.
We will stop radical Islamic terrorism because
we cannot allow it to tear up our nation, and indeed
to tear up the entire world.
We must deny the terrorists safe haven,
transit, funding, and any form of support for
their vile and sinister ideology.
We must drive them out of our nations.
It is time to expose and hold responsible those
countries who support and finance terror groups like
al Qaeda, Hezbollah, the Taliban and others that
slaughter innocent people.
The United States and our allies are working
together throughout the Middle East to crush the
loser terrorists and stop the reemergence of safe
havens they use to launch attacks on all of our people.
Last month, I announced a new strategy for victory
in the fight against this evil in Afghanistan.
From now on, our security interests will dictate the
length and scope of military operations, not
arbitrary benchmarks and timetables set
up by politicians.
I have also totally changed the rules of
engagement in our fight against the Taliban and
other terrorist groups.
In Syria and Iraq, we have made big gains toward
lasting defeat of ISIS.
In fact, our country has achieved more against ISIS
in the last eight months than it has in many, many
years combined.
We seek the de-escalation of the Syrian conflict,
and a political solution that honors the will of
the Syrian people.
The actions of the criminal regime of Bashar
al-Assad, including the use of chemical weapons
against his own citizens -- even innocent children
-- shock the conscience of every decent person.
No society can be safe if banned chemical weapons
are allowed to spread.
That is why the United States carried out a
missile strike on the airbase that
launched the attack.
We appreciate the efforts of United Nations agencies
that are providing vital humanitarian assistance in
areas liberated from ISIS, and we especially thank
Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon for their role in hosting
refugees from the Syrian conflict.
The United States is a compassionate nation and
has spent billions and billions of dollars in
helping to support this effort.
We seek an approach to refugee resettlement that
is designed to help these horribly treated people,
and which enables their eventual return to their
home countries, to be part of the rebuilding process.
For the cost of resettling one refugee in the United
States, we can assist more than 10 in their home region.
Out of the goodness of our hearts, we offer financial
assistance to hosting countries in the region,
and we support recent agreements of the G20
nations that will seek to host refugees as close to
their home countries as possible.
This is the safe, responsible, and
humanitarian approach.
For decades, the United States has dealt with
migration challenges here in the Western Hemisphere.
We have learned that, over the long term,
uncontrolled migration is deeply unfair to both the
sending and the receiving countries.
For the sending countries, it reduces domestic
pressure to pursue needed political and economic
reform, and drains them of the human capital
necessary to motivate and implement those reforms.
For the receiving countries, the substantial
costs of uncontrolled migration are borne
overwhelmingly by low-income citizens whose
concerns are often ignored by both
media and government.
I want to salute the work of the United Nations in
seeking to address the problems that cause people
to flee from their homes.
The United Nations and African Union led
peacekeeping missions to have invaluable
contributions in stabilizing
conflicts in Africa.
The United States continues to lead the
world in humanitarian assistance, including
famine prevention and relief in South Sudan,
Somalia, and northern Nigeria and Yemen.
We have invested in better health and opportunity all
over the world through programs like PEPFAR,
which funds AIDS relief; the President's Malaria
Initiative; the Global Health Security Agenda;
the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery; and the
Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative, part
of our commitment to empowering women all
across the globe.
We also thank --
(applause)
-- we also thank the Secretary General for
recognizing that the United Nations must reform
if it is to be an effective partner in
confronting threats to sovereignty, security,
and prosperity.
Too often the focus of this organization has not
been on results, but on bureaucracy and process.
In some cases, states that seek to subvert this
institution's noble aims have hijacked the very
systems that are supposed to advance them.
For example, it is a massive source of
embarrassment to the United Nations that some
governments with egregious human rights records
sit on the U.N. Human Rights Council.
The United States is one out of 193 countries in
the United Nations, and yet we pay 22 percent of
the entire budget and more.
In fact, we pay far more than anybody realizes.
The United States bears an unfair cost burden, but,
to be fair, if it could actually accomplish all of
its stated goals, especially the goal of
peace, this investment would easily be well worth it.
Major portions of the world are in conflict and
some, in fact, are going to hell.
But the powerful people in this room, under the
guidance and auspices of the United Nations, can
solve many of these vicious and complex problems.
The American people hope that one day soon the
United Nations can be a much more accountable and
effective advocate for human dignity and freedom
around the world.
In the meantime, we believe that no nation
should have to bear a disproportionate share of
the burden, militarily or financially.
Nations of the world must take a greater role in
promoting secure and prosperous societies in
their own regions.
That is why in the Western Hemisphere, the United
States has stood against the corrupt and
destabilizing regime in Cuba and embraced the
enduring dream of the Cuban people to
live in freedom.
My administration recently announced that we will not
lift sanctions on the Cuban government until it
makes fundamental reforms.
We have also imposed tough, calibrated
sanctions on the socialist Maduro regime in
Venezuela, which has brought a once thriving
nation to the brink of total collapse.
The socialist dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro has
inflicted terrible pain and suffering on the good
people of that country.
This corrupt regime destroyed a prosperous
nation by imposing a failed ideology that has
produced poverty and misery everywhere
it has been tried.
To make matters worse, Maduro has defied his own
people, stealing power from their elected
representatives to preserve his disastrous rule.
The Venezuelan people are starving and their
country is collapsing.
Their democratic institutions are
being destroyed.
This situation is completely unacceptable
and we cannot stand by and watch.
As a responsible neighbor and friend, we and all
others have a goal.
That goal is to help them regain their freedom,
recover their country, and restore their democracy.
I would like to thank leaders in this room for
condemning the regime and providing vital support to
the Venezuelan people.
The United States has taken important steps
to hold the regime accountable.
We are prepared to take further action if the
government of Venezuela persists on its path to
impose authoritarian rule on the Venezuelan people.
We are fortunate to have incredibly strong and
healthy trade relationships with many of
the Latin American countries gathered here today.
Our economic bond forms a critical foundation for
advancing peace and prosperity for all of our
people and all of our neighbors.
I ask every country represented here today to
be prepared to do more to address this very real crisis.
We call for the full restoration of democracy
and political freedoms in Venezuela.
(applause)
The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has
been poorly implemented, but that socialism has
been faithfully implemented.
(applause)
From the Soviet Union to Cuba to Venezuela,
wherever true socialism or communism has been
adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation
and failure.
Those who preach the tenets of these
discredited ideologies only contribute to the
continued suffering of the people who live under
these cruel systems.
America stands with every person living under
a brutal regime.
Our respect for sovereignty is also
a call for action.
All people deserve a government that cares for
their safety, their interests, and their
wellbeing, including their prosperity.
In America, we seek stronger ties of business
and trade with all nations of good will, but this
trade must be fair and it must be reciprocal.
For too long, the American people were told that
mammoth multinational trade deals, unaccountable
international tribunals, and powerful global
bureaucracies were the best way to promote
their success.
But as those promises flowed, millions of jobs
vanished and thousands of factories disappeared.
Others gamed the system and broke the rules.
And our great middle class, once the bedrock of
American prosperity, was forgotten and left behind,
but they are forgotten no more and they will never
be forgotten again.
While America will pursue cooperation and commerce
with other nations, we are renewing our commitment to
the first duty of every government: the duty
of our citizens.
This bond is the source of America's strength and
that of every responsible nation represented here today.
If this organization is to have any hope of
successfully confronting the challenges before us,
it will depend, as President Truman said some
70 years ago, on the "independent strength of
its members." If we are to embrace the opportunities
of the future and overcome the present dangers
together, there can be no substitute for strong,
sovereign, and independent nations -- nations that
are rooted in their histories and invested in
their destinies; nations that seek allies to
befriend, not enemies to conquer; and most
important of all, nations that are home to patriots,
to men and women who are willing to sacrifice for
their countries, their fellow citizens, and for
all that is best in the human spirit.
In remembering the great victory that led to this
body's founding, we must never forget that those
heroes who fought against evil also fought for the
nations that they loved.
Patriotism led the Poles to die to save Poland, the
French to fight for a free France, and the Brits to
stand strong for Britain.
Today, if we do not invest ourselves, our hearts, and
our minds in our nations, if we will not build
strong families, safe communities, and healthy
societies for ourselves, no one can do it for us.
We cannot wait for someone else, for faraway
countries or far-off bureaucrats -- we can't do it.
We must solve our problems, to build our
prosperity, to secure our futures, or we will be
vulnerable to decay, domination, and defeat.
The true question for the United Nations today, for
people all over the world who hope for better lives
for themselves and their children, is a basic one:
Are we still patriots?
Do we love our nations enough to protect their
sovereignty and to take ownership of their futures?
Do we revere them enough to defend their interests,
preserve their cultures, and ensure a peaceful
world for their citizens?
One of the greatest American patriots, John
Adams, wrote that the American Revolution was
"effected before the war commenced.
The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the
people." That was the moment when America awoke,
when we looked around and understood that we
were a nation.
We realized who we were, what we valued, and what
we would give our lives to defend.
From its very first moments, the American
story is the story of what is possible when people
take ownership of their future.
The United States of America has been among the
greatest forces for good in the history of the
world, and the greatest defenders of sovereignty,
security, and prosperity for all.
Now we are calling for a great reawakening of
nations, for the revival of their spirits, their
pride, their people, and their patriotism.
History is asking us whether we are up to the task.
Our answer will be a renewal of will, a
rediscovery of resolve, and a rebirth of devotion.
We need to defeat the enemies of humanity and
unlock the potential of life itself.
Our hope is a word and -- world of proud,
independent nations that embrace their duties, seek
friendship, respect others, and make common
cause in the greatest shared interest of all: a
future of dignity and peace for the people of
this wonderful Earth.
This is the true vision of the United Nations, the
ancient wish of every people, and the deepest
yearning that lives inside every sacred soul.
So let this be our mission, and let this be
our message to the world: We will fight together,
sacrifice together, and stand together for peace,
for freedom, for justice, for family, for humanity,
and for the almighty God who made us all.
Thank you.
God bless you.
God bless the nations of the world.
And God bless the United States of America.
Thank you very much.
(applause)

WHY U.S BOMBER FLEET CAN DESTROY NORTH KOREAN MILITARY IN A SINGLE DAY? - Duration: 8:55.
North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un said President Donald Trump will "pay dearly" for his address
to the United Nations General Assembly earlier this week.
In the statement, Kim also said North Korea is considering the strongest possible response
to what he called Trump's provocation.
Kim according to The Associated Press said, "I'd like to advise Trump to exercise prudence
in selecting words and to be considerate of whom he speaks to when making a speech in
front of the world".
President Donald Trump, in his first speech to the United Nations, had slammed Kim Jong
Un using his new favorite nickname 'Rocket Man'.
Trump said, referring to the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un:
"No nation on Earth has an interest in seeing this band of criminals arm itself with nuclear
weapons and missiles".
He added, "The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend
itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea."
The US Air force fleet as of 2017 has 3 strategic bombers B-52 Stratofortress, B1B Lancer and
B-2 Spirit "Stealth Bomber".
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes WHY US BOMBER FLEET CAN DESTROY NORTH KOREAN MILITARY
IN A SINGLE DAY?
Lets get started.
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is American long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic
bomber.
The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and
upgrades.
The B-52 has been in active service with the USAF since 1955.
As of now, 58 are in active service with 18 in reserve.
Superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs has kept
the B-52 in service despite the advent of more advanced aircraft.
With regular upgrades, it is expected to serve into the 2040s.
Over its sixty-year lifetime, the B-52's avionics, flight hardware, and weapons systems
have been upgraded.
In 2006, the fleet received a "mid-life" upgrade to its avionics, adding modern processors
and navigation systems.
In 2014, the Air Force gave the B 52 their first new communications system since the
1960s, including full-color LCDs to replace the old cathode ray tube screens.
On the weapons front, the airplanes are due to receive weapons-bay upgrades, enabling
them to hold more smart bombs, and radar enhancements, potentially including the Active Electronically
Scanned Array Systems technology.
The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons, and has a typical
combat range of more than 8,800 miles (14,080 km) without aerial refueling.
This combination of outstanding range and high payload capacity and ability to incorporate
modern weapons makes B 52 apt for strategic bombing missions.
The B1B Lancer is a supersonic variable-sweep wing, heavy bomber used by the United States
Air Force (USAF).
It is commonly called the "Bone".
Most airplane wing designs are tradeoffs.
Wings are set for low speed stability or high-speed performance, or some middle point.
But even with flap systems and leading edge slats, fixed wings are compromises.
A multi-role aircraft needs more flexibility.
Having variability in the wing configuration has huge advantages in making a single aircraft
adept at multiple missions.
U.S has 100 of these.
B1B has an excellent range of Range: 5,900 mi or 9,400 km.
It has a Service ceiling of 60,000 ft.
The bomber has many design elements, which makes it hard for the enemy radar to detect it.
B1B has 6 external hardpoints for 50,000 pounds (23,000 kg) of ordnance and 3 internal bomb
bays for 75,000 pounds (34,000 kg) of ordnance.
Hence it has a massive payload of 125,000 lb (56,700 kg) internal and external ordnance
combined.
This makes B1B deadly.
For example it can carry
84× Mk-82 Air inflatable retarder (AIR) general purpose (GP) bombs or
81× Mk-82 low drag general purpose (LDGP) bombs or
24× Mk-84 general-purpose bombs 24× Mk-65 naval mines
The B-2 Spirit was developed to take over the United States Air Force's (USAF) vital
penetration missions, able to travel deep into enemy territory to deploy their ordnance,
which could include nuclear weapons.
The B-2 is a flying wing aircraft, meaning it has no fuselage or tail.
The blending of low-observable technologies with high aerodynamic efficiency and large
payload gives the B-2 significant advantages over previous bombers.
Stealth capability provides greater freedom of action as the bomber can evade enemy air
defenses.
U.S has 21 of these.
The U.S. Air Force reports B2's range as approximately 6,900 miles or 11,000 km.
It has an excellent payload too.
B2 has 2 internal bays for ordnance and payload with maximum estimated limit of 50,000 lb
(23,000 kg).
It can carry 16 B61 or B83 nuclear bombs on Rotary Launcher Assembly.
The B61 is a variable yield, kiloton-range weapon.
Tactical versions can be set to 0.3, 1.5, 5, 10, 45, 60, 80, or 170 kiloton explosive
yield and the strategic version has a yield 340 kilotons.
The B83 thermonuclear weapon is a variable-yield gravity bomb.
It is the most powerful free-fall nuclear weapon in the United States arsenal with a
maximum yield of 1.2 megatons of TNT.
For comparison, the Fat Man atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki had a yield of 20 kilotons of TNT
North Korean air defense are good in numbers but not in quality.
The missile defense like SA-2 Guideline, SA-6 Gainful, SA-5 Gammon are all designed in 1960s
and have vintage technology by today's standards.
These systems also may not be in proper working order and the missile availability is expected
to be low.
The B-2 and B1B were designed specifically to evade such defenses, and the relatively
low tech B-52s can simply fire AGM-86 cruise missiles at North Korea from well beyond the
range of the country's air defenses.
North Korea has a fleet of different kinds of fighters, which even includes Chinese derivatives
of very old fighters like Mig 17 and Mig 19.
The MiG-29 is the Korean People's Army Air Force's (KPAF) most modern fighter and it
operates approximately 40 of these.
Though the Mig 29 is a proficient fighter but North Korea has been isolated for long
with very little access to spare parts and other maintenance infrastructure.
Also with no access to foreign air-to-air missiles, because of sanction and no in-house
designs; the Mig 29 is equipped with old weapons technology.
These will be easy prey for US fighter jet escorting the bombers.
With little challenge from air defenses and enemy fighter jets, these bombers can operate
with impunity and the massive destructive power is capable to bring down North Korean
military to its knees in a single day.

Press Briefing with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson - Duration: 21:40.
Secretary Tillerson: Good evening all, I want to begin first by extending our condolences to all
those who have suffered continued to suffer from the devastation from the
natural disasters that we are witnessing around the Western Hemisphere.
Obviously this succession of massive hurricanes in the Caribbean are really
testing I think the will and the spirit of the
people that live in that area that's also testing our response.
The capabilities what I would tell you, our response capabilities have been
extraordinary, we're really grateful for the cooperation with other nations as
you know the there are many nations involved in the string of islands that
have been affected and the cooperation has just been tremendous in terms of our
ability to address the needs of our own citizens the American people that are in
those areas but also to work cooperatively with other nations and
help them as well.
Also want to extend our thoughts to the people in Mexico let
them know that we we stand with you in the aftermath of two very bad and
massive earthquakes I know many of you are following the most recent quake in
Mexico City a very heartbreaking situation to watch unfold the President
did speak to president Pena Nieto earlier today expressed his own deep
concerns about the situation also indicated though his immediate
deployment of assistance to Mexico city of search and rescue expertise a team
very large team of people who are trained for these specific type of
circumstances immediately he deployed those towards Mexico City with heavy
equipment president Pena had to obviously thank the president for that
said he welcomed and accepted that assistance and the president assured him
if there are other ways in which we can help notwithstanding the fact that we're
to deal with some significant aftermath of the hurricane Harvey hurricane Herman
now to the extent we will be dealing with Hurricane Maria this I think is a
real testament to the relationship between the United States and Mexico and
again our thoughts and prayers are with the Mexican people as they're dealing
with this terrible tragedy and and again ready to help them in any way we can I
know you want to get to your questions quickly so I'm not going to to make a
long number of comments just to make a couple of remarks I did just come from a
meeting of the parties responsible for the jcpoa the Iranian nuclear deal this
was a ministerial-level meeting that the EU High Commissioner convened so that we
could have an exchange of views around the table of all the parties to the
agreement as to how implementation is performing it was not a technical
discussion it was a political discussion of the political aspects so we had a
very open and candid exchange of all of the parties to that agreement I think it
was I hope it was useful to others I found it useful to hear their
perspectives I hope they found it useful as well we we clearly have significant
issues with the agreement the president's been quite clear and
articulate as to his concerns about the agreement itself the thoroughness of the
agreement the enforcement of the agreement and I think really is as he
has said it and I've said many times as well that when would when one looks at
he uses the word spirit of the agreement I used the word expectations of the
agreement that even contained in the preamble of the agreement there's a
there was a clear expectations of the parties who were negotiating this
nuclear deal that a conclusion of the nuclear agreement which set aside
obviously as a serious threat to the region and to the to the relationship
and that by doing so this would allow the parties to seek a more stay
peaceful region that was the expectation of the parties and regrettably since the
agreement was confirmed we have seen anything but a more peaceful stable
region and this is the real issue and that's why we talked about Iran
defaulting on these expectations because those expectations clearly have not not
been met since that time it has continued to prop up the Assad regime
and it's horrible way in which it has brought violence to its own people they
have a continued to engage in malicious cyber activity they have aggressively
developed and tested ballistic missiles in defiance of UN Security Council
resolution two two three one thereby threatening the security of the United
States and the stability of the region they've provided weapons and training
forces to deploy to create instability throughout the region and Yemen in Syria
and Iraq and I think we even see them carrying out provocative operations in
the Gulf itself against our naval and coalition vessels as they try to
peacefully transit the Gulf now threatening the very freedom of
navigation through this very important waterway so I think it's it's pretty
difficult to say that the expectations of the parties who negotiated this
agreement have been met perhaps the technical aspects have but in the
broader context the aspiration has not different so recently the US has taken
action to counter those activities as you know additional sanctions were
recently put in place to deal with the ballistic missile testing the cyber
activity these other destabilizing activities and we're going to continue
to monitor Iran's activities and we will take additional steps none of which put
us in any way contrary to our contrary to our obligations under the jcpoa we
are fully compliant with the jcpoa the activities we are sanctioning Iran for
carrying out are not covered under the technic
agree with the jcpoa itself but I think in particular the agreement has this
very concerning shortcoming that the president has mentioned as well and that
is the sunset clause where one can almost set the countdown clock to when
Iran can resume its nuclear weapons programs its nuclear activities and
that's something that the president simply finds unacceptable all of you are
keenly aware of the circumstances were dealing with with North Korea when we
look at the history of North Korea's weapons development program in many
senses we've seen this before agreements that just simply pushed it to
another government another administration to deal with the
president's made clear he doesn't intend to do that in this case he he takes his
responsibility in this particular matter quite seriously and as the reason he is
very very carefully considering the decision of whether we find the jcpoa to
continue to serve the security interest of the american people or not we expect
Iran to fulfill its commitments we're going to until that time will fulfill
our commitments and the president as a matter under consideration so with that
let me stop that's the most recent event I came from there have been a number of
you had related events and I'm happy to do the best I can to address questions
you may have around the many many activities that are going on and I'm
gonna I'm gonna allow Heather to the referee for me
I'm wondering one if you can share with us what that decision is and secondly
about the meetings that you just came from the European foreign policy team
this mogherini said that all the members all the
parties who were there agreed that the the deal is working and towards its
purpose and from what you said just now you don't seem to fully agree with that
so is that characterization before correct or not
first as to the president making a decision as he indicated earlier I think
in a press avail or spray somewhere that he had made a decision he has not shared
that with anyone externally Prime Minister may asked him if she if he
would share with her and he said no so I think you know as the president it's
always indicated he will let you know when he thinks it's useful to let you
know and he doesn't share his forward planning with people but he I believe
has made a decision with respect to the High Commissioners characterization of
the meeting I think again it's it's important to think about and I don't
want to go into a lot of detail of our discussions out of respect for the way
we agreed we treat those discussions from a technical standpoint the IAEA
reports continue to come to indicate and confirm that Iran is in technical
compliance of the agreement and no one around the table took exception to that
doesn't the political side of the discussion is what I shared with you and
so I think the High Commissioner was reflecting the rigid and strict contours
of the agreement itself
you made the correlation between North Korea and Iran so if I could follow up
on that first of all you said the other day that North Korea was starting to
show some effects of the sanctions could you expand a little bit on that what are
you seeing so far and when you say when used to talk about the idea that you
want an agreement with North Korea and then you seem to kind of move the
goalposts a little bit on Iran I mean I think your counterparts would say that
yes that the expectation was always there that this might and a hope I think
that that Iran would improve its behavior but that was never written into
the agreement and so what do you say to those that that are concerned that if
you why would North Korea make an agreement with the United States if it's
going to go back on its word and it's on on its agreement and does this hurt the
credibility of the United States in making deals in the future well I think
in terms of an agreement that we would strike with North Korea would be of a
very different nature than the Iranian jcpoa which by its title is a Joint
Commission plan of action it doesn't even contain the word agreement in its
title and this is one of the challenges so what we really have is a plan there
was a that then was agreed and memorialized we again we would take a
very different view of the nature of the North Korean agreement and the and it is
because while the threat is the same its nuclear weapons the issues surrounding
North Korea are very different than the issues surrounding Iran Iran is a large
nation 60 million people North Korea is a smaller nation the Hermit chemic
Kingdom living in isolation a very different set of circumstances that
would wit that would be the context and also the contours of an agreement with
North Korea many aspects of which don't apply between the two so the the threats
the same but the nature of the agreements are going to be quite
different in terms of what's Cerie to achieve the objective a
denuclearized North Korea and Iran that never pursues nuclear weapons so the end
points obviously are the same but the elements that allow you to achieve that
are very very different we are we have some indications that there are
beginning to appear evidence of fuel shortages and look we knew that these
sanctions are going to take some time to be felt because we knew the North
Koreans based on information that the Chinese had shared with us and others
had shared with us had basically stockpiled a lot of inventory early in
the year when they saw the didn't made ministration coming in in anticipation
of things perhaps changing so I think what we're seeing is a combined effect
of these inventories are now being exhausted and the supply coming in has
been reduced but there are indications that there are shortages of fuel in
particular and I think we will see latent evidence of the impact of the
other sanctions that have been put in place the Iranian people first let's
talk about the Iranian people are very well-educated very sophisticated
population so their leaders similarly are well-educated very sophisticated in
foreign minister Zarif certainly is in that category so yes the you know
whether we can agree that's that's another thing we certainly have we have
very different views of this relationship and I think in many
respects one of the great challenges for us is coming to some understanding of
what defines this u.s. Iran relationship because it is not a it's not a
particularly long-standing relationship it's only been in the current
relationship in place for about 40 years it was born out of the revolution with
our embassy being seized it's been scarred by terrible attacks against our
men and women in uniform enabled by Iranian capability so this is a very
it's a relationship that's never had a stable happy moment in it and I think if
we ever get the chance to talk perhaps that's where we ought to start talking
is is this going to be the way it is for the rest of our lives and our children's
lives and our grandchildren's lives and we've never had that conversation so I
don't know we'll see if was a good opportunity to to meet shake hands the
the tone was very matter-of-fact it was not there was no yelling we didn't throw
shoes at one another it was not an angry tone at all it was a very very
matter-of-fact exchange of how we see this Agreement very very differently
yeah secretary teller sir would why is mr.
Trump that mr. Trump keeps suggesting that he's gonna kill the Iran deal but
he won't tell us exactly when he could why is he bringing this out and why is
he speaking of the agreement in the way that he is all in due time why not go in
say what the decision is now rather than keep people in suspense
well there is additional work that goes with that decision
so I mean yes you know it's very easy to make a unilateral decision and say I'm
doing it and then you know let the cards fall where they may let the dust hit the
ground where it hits but in terms of how do we want to prepare ourselves and
others for a decision so I think and I think the president I think he's going
about it in the correct way he's being very deliberative he has heard all you
know he's heard the arguments from both sides if no one wanted to make that
argument so then someone would put that case together and say but we have to
think about it from this perspective he's listened to all of that and I think
we've had sufficient time to get our own kind of direct understanding of this
agreement and how it functions and see how the implementation works see how the
IEA works and so I think I think the time has come for for decision to be
made and it is the president that has to make the decision and he has really
considered then put thinking about it from all the angles and so you know I
didn't know he was going to say today he's made a decision I knew he had but I
didn't know he was gonna say he'd had so if he had just not said that you
wouldn't been asking me this question
mr. secretary thank you very much president rouhani said today there would
be no alterations to the existing deal and that would be frankly a waste of
time he said to talk to the Trump administration about a new one he also
said the Iranian people deserve an apology for president Trump's insulting
UN address all of this together looks like the atmosphere to diplomacy is
getting worse how do you respond to this well first is a long time negotiator I
learned to never say never and second it always gets the darkest before you might
have a breakthrough as I've said to people many times as the nation's chief
diplomat I better be the most optimistic person standing in the room
one of your job comes out with you I think you like that
I'll take the second question first I don't know whether I can have the same
kind of a matter-of-fact discussion with North Korea because we we don't know how
their means of communication and behavior will be we do have we have very
very limited contact with their you know their representative here at the UN from
time to time but how the decision-maker the people that are closer to the
decision-maker are going to behave is something we will have to understand and
learn so I can't really answer that question the first part of your question
was yes well we look the allies have known because President Trump you know
this was it's talked about in his campaign he's continued to talk about it
every time the we had to come up on the 90-day certification he's talked about
it so we have been in discussion with our allies for quite a long time and I
have been in contact with my counterparts including I've been in
contact with heads of state that are signatories to the agreement it was on
up for discussion when I was in London last week so we've had a lot of exchange
over what how would they view this how would this affect them you know one of
the things that we and I mentioned all these other activities of Iran that we
think really do violate the expectation and that we are sanctioning them for
those we also been making the case to our allies that you share our concern
about Iran's behavior please join us in sending that strong message to them and
you're not violating the agreement and I think they are looking more carefully I
think there's been a the hesitancy because of their
commitment to the agreement to think about sanctioning some of these same
activities we believe they're now looking more carefully and seriously at
that as a means to push back on this other behavior of Iran's that they agree
with us is just simply unacceptable so that in the answer to the original
question there's been a lot of dialogue about it a lot of discussion so we've
heard from them they've and we've listened a lot to them as we've walked
up to making our own decision one last question

North Korea threatens 'preemtive action' if it detects signs of U.S. attack - Duration: 2:20.
We start our newscast with North Korea's Foreign Minister's speech at the UN General Assembly....
Ri Yong-ho's speech capped a week of rising tensions between Washington and Pyongyang,..
hitting back at Trump calling him "mentally deranged."
The top diplomat also warned of a preemptive attack should the U.S. show any sign of military
moves against the regime.
Our Cha Sang-mi has the details.
Pyongyang is showing no sign of toning down its threats.
The North's foreign minister Ri Yong-ho spoke on Saturday at the UN General Assembly, where
he warned that the regime will take "preemptive action" if the U.S. were to show any sign
of an attack on the North's leadership or the country.
Ri also said the North does not intend to threaten anyone with its nuclear weapons except
for the U.S. and those who join forces with it.
He claimed it was Washington, not Pyongyang, that is threating international security,
and took particular umbrage at President Trump's remarks at the UN days earlier.
(Korean) "He tried to insult the supreme dignity of
my country by referring to it as a rocket.
By doing so, however, he committed an irreversible mistake of making our rockets' visit to the
entire U.S. mainland inevitable all the more."
Ri Yong-ho responded that Trump is the one "on a suicide mission" and said:
(Korean) "In case innocent lives of the U.S. are lost
because of this suicide attack.
Trump will be held totally responsible."
After hearing Ri's combative speech, President Trump tweeted around midnight Saturday that
if the regime's foreign minister is really speaking for North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un
-- whom he referred to as "little rocket man" -- then (quote) "they won't be around much
longer."
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres met with Minister Ri after his remarks and asked
that Pyongyang deescalate its provocations and implementation of the UN Security Council's
resolutions.
Guterres further highlighted the need for a political solution and for continued humanitarian
aid to the regime.
Meanwhile, as the international community clamps down on humanitarian aid to the North,
Radio Free Asia cites officials who say that in a closed-door meeting last Friday, Minister
Ri appealed for more aid from the UN Development Programme and UNICEF.

President Participates in the Reforming the United Nations Meeting - Duration: 12:59.
Ambassador Haley: Good morning and welcome to everyone.
Thank you and welcome to an event that
shows it truly is a new day at the
United Nations I thank you very much for
being here you should know that we had
to get a bigger room to accommodate
everyone here today and that's a good
problem and that is one of the greatest
signs of hope
for the United Nations that we've seen
since I've been here the declaration of
support for United Nations reform began
as a way to give momentum to
secretary-general Guterres efforts to
bring greater efficiency accountability
and transparency to the UN we thought
that having member states put their
names on a document would help ensure
that these goals don't remain just words
but become a part of the culture of the
UN the response that we've had has been
nothing short of fantastic 128 nations
have signed on to the declaration as of
this morning and we're still counting
that is a supermajority I thank our
co-hosts today our friends from Canada
Germany Indonesia Japan Jordan nice year
Rwanda Senegal Slovakia Thailand the
United Kingdom and Uruguay most of all I
thank all of you the fact that so many
are committed to sing the United Nations
succeed is gratifying it is a sign not
only that change is desperately needed
but that it will be achieved you were
the reason changes coming to the UN it
is now my honor to introduce someone who
is no stranger to change Donald Trump
has a business man's eye for seeing
potential and he sees great potential
not just in this reform movement but in
the United Nations itself he shares your
commitment to creating a more effective
advocate for peace security and human
rights we are deeply grateful he has
taken the time to be with us today
ladies and gentlemen President Donald J Trump.
President Trump: Well, thank you very much.
(Applause.)
Thank you.
I actually saw great potential right across
the street, to be honest with you, and it was only
for the reason that the United Nations was here
that that turned out to be such a successful project.
So I want to thank you, Ambassador Haley, for
your introduction and for your steadfast advocacy
for American interests on the world stage.
On behalf of the co-host countries, I would like
to also thank Secretary General Guterres for --
and you have been fantastic -- for joining
us, and we affirm our commitment to the United
Nations reform.
And reform is what we're talking about.
I applaud the Secretary General for laying out a
vision to reform the United Nations so that it
better serves the people we all represent.
We support your efforts to look across the entire
system and to find ways the United Nations can
better, and be better at development, management,
peace, and security.
The United Nations was founded on truly noble goals.
These include affirming the dignity and worth of
the human person and striving for
international peace.
The United Nations has helped advance toward
these goals in so many ways: feeding the hungry,
providing disaster relief, and empowering
women and girls in many societies all across the world.
Yet in recent years, the United Nations has not
reached its full potential because of
bureaucracy and mismanagement.
While the United Nations on a regular budget has
increased by 140 percent, and its staff has more
than doubled since 2000, we are not seeing the
results in line with this investment.
But I know that under the Secretary General, that's
changing and it's changing fast.
And we've seen it.
That's why we commend the Secretary General and his
call for the United Nations to focus more on
people and less on bureaucracy.
We seek a United Nations that regains the trust of
the people around the world.
In order to achieve this, the United Nations must
hold every level of management accountable,
protect whistle-blowers and focus on results
rather than on process.
To honor the people of our nations, we must
ensure that no one and no member state shoulders a
disproportionate share of the burden, and that's
militarily or financially.
We also ask that every peacekeeping mission have
clearly defined goals and metrics for evaluating success.
They deserve to see the value in the United
Nations, and it is our job to show it to them.
We encourage the Secretary General to
fully use his authority to cut through the
bureaucracy, reform outdated systems, and
make firm decisions to advance the U.N.'s core mission.
Further, we encourage all member states to look at
ways to take bold stands at the United Nations
with an eye toward changing business as
usual and not being beholden to ways of the
past which were not working.
Mr. Secretary General, the United States and the
member states present today support this great
reform vision.
We pledge to be partners in your work, and I am
confident that if we work together and champion
truly bold reforms, the United Nations will
emerge as a stronger, more effective, more
just, and greater force for peace and harmony in
the world.
Thank you, Mr. Secretary General.
And I look forward to advancing these shared
goals in the years to come, and it is a great
honor to be with you today.
Thank you.
(Applause.)
Ambassador Haley: I came to the United Nations about the
same time as the Secretary-General he

the UN we share the goal of a better
United Nations not a cheaper UN or more
expensive UN not a smaller one or a
bigger one a better United Nations an

capability to deliver on its mandate to
promote peace security and human rights
over the past eight months he has been a
partner and become a friend his
leadership brings us together today

excellencies ladies and gentlemen
someone recently asked what keeps me up
at night and my answer was simple
bureaucracy fragmented structures
Byzantine procedures and endless red
tape someone out to undermine UN could
not have come up with a better way to do
it than by imposing some of the rules we
have created ourselves I even sometimes
ask myself whether roses conspiracy to
make our rules exactly what they need to
be for us not to be effective but above
all let us never forget that we are here
to serve to serve the people people
suffering in poverty or exclusion people
victimized by conflict people whose
rights and dignity are being denied but
also people with ideas and dreams who
need a helping hand reform is for them
but reform is all for the for the
hard-working
taxpayers who and the right all the
crucial work we do and reform is for
everyone serving and UN flag all of them
deserve the conditions to do their vital
job to serve the people we support and
the people who supports us we must be
nimble and effective flexible and
efficient and we must do so keenly aware
of our obligation to leap up to the
valley to live up to the values of the
United Nations Charter together we are
making progress on a broad and bold
reform agenda to strengthen the United
Nations we have launched a game-changing
strategy to end sexual exploitation and
abuse we have embarked on plans to
achieve gender parity in the UN to
protect whistleblowers and stress and
counterterrorism structures and we are
reforming our peace and security
architecture to ensure we are stronger
in prevention more agile in mediation
and more effective and cost effective in
peacekeeping operations we are reforming
our development system to become much
more field focused
we are coordinated and accountable to
better assist countries to the 2030
agenda for sustainable development our
contribution to a fair globalization and
20-pin all these efforts we are pursuing
sweeping management reform to simplify
procedures to decentralize decisions
with greater transparency efficiency and
accountability
these efforts reinforce each other and
they are all grounded in overarching
principles we are a global organization
90 percent of our personnel serve in the
field and we need to bring decisions
making decision maker making closer to
the people we serve trust and empower
managers reform cumbersome and costly
budgetary procedures and eliminate
duplicative structures mr. president you
often have said and you repeated today
that the awareness tremendous potential
all of us have the responsibility to
make shield we live up to it our shared
objective is a 21st century UN focused
more on people
lesson process and as you rightly said
more on delivery less on bureaucracy we
know that the true test of reform will
not be measured in words in New York or
world capitals it will be measured
through tangible results in the lives of
the people we serve and the trust of
those who support our work through their
hard earned resources value for money
while advancing shared values that is
our common goal and I thank you very
much for your support for these vital
efforts, Mr. President, many thanks.
(applause)
Ambassador Haley: Thank you Mr. President and
Mr. Secretary General today is a great day,
but it's the beginning of a process not
the end, there are 193 members of the
United Nations that means there are
about 70 member states out there that
have not yet signed the declaration of
support for United Nations reform our
mission leaving here today is to not be
satisfied with less than a complete
consensus on this reform agenda
we are always stronger when we speak
with one voice and the future of this
institution is worth the extra mile our
goal is to convince the delegations that
have not yet signed the declaration to
join the effort for more efficient
accountable and transparent UN the
United States believes we can make
history by coming together as a true
global community
for reform in the coming weeks and
months we will be considering the
Secretary General's broader vision this
is an opportunity for all of us to seize
this moment and ensure that the United
Nations remains relevant we must
challenge traditional mindsets inertia
and resistance to change we will do this
together I hope we can count on your
help thank you again and let's make it a
new day at the United Nations.

US Navy 'too exhausted to take on North Korea' experts fear amid threat of World War 3
Ten sailors were killed last month when the USS John S McCain collided with a Liberian-flagged oil tanker near the Straits of Malacca in southeast Asia.
In June, seven sailors were killed after the USS Fitzgerald and a Philippine-flagged container ship collided in waters off Japan.
Earlier in the year, the USS Antietam ran aground in Tokyo Bay and the USS Lake Champlain ran over a South Korean fishing boat. These military disasters have resulted in the sacking of at least six senior officers, including two admirals.
One former commander has suggested asking the Royal Navy for advice. It has been rumoured that the McCain and the Fitzgerald, both Arleigh Burke-class Aegis missile destroyers, were victims of cyber-attacks by China or Russia.
Investigators looked into whether Beijing might have hacked into the guidance and radar systems on the ships, both of which were involved in recent freedom of navigation operations near disputed South China Sea islands claimed by China.
But last week US senators were told the reasons for the accidents were down to exhausted sailors, poor training, and ships performing too many tasks.
The US Navy is the smallest it has been in 99 years and its chiefs calculate that 276 ships are being asked to perform the duties of a fleet of 355.
Although Kim Jong-un appears confident amid the brink of World War 3, the US Air Force has sent a clear message to the North Korean dictator as B-1B Lancer bombers flew over waters east of North Korea.
It comes after Kim Jong-un made a rare personal announcement that President Donald Trump will pay dearly for his threats and that North Korea was considering the strongest possible response – later revealed as hydrogen bomb detonation in the Pacific.
The head of the US Navy, Admiral John Richardson, said going without sleep was a badge of honour in the Pacific fleet. "There is a cultural factor here, where you're more dedicated if you can go the extra mile and stay awake.
"It's like pulling an all-nighter in college." He said that a study had been commissioned to look into the effects of lack of sleep and other factors.
Senator John McCain responded to Richardson, saying: "If we're pointing out that sailors are working 100-hour weeks, I'm not sure we need a study.
"In the last three years, fatal training accidents have taken the lives of four times more service members than our enemies have in combat. This cannot continue." .
Retired US naval officer, Commander Salamander, claimed that "though the US navy may be the largest navy, it is not the most proficient when it comes to fundamental seamanship".
Rob McFall, a former officer who served on the Fitzgerald, told The Times: "Sleep is a huge problem in the surface navy. The surface navy shows pride in being able to function without sleep, especially among the junior officers.
There are plenty of studies equating lack of sleep with numbers of drinks of alcohol. It's not safe, you're impaired, you're not making rational judgments.".
