The UN continues to monitor fast-moving developments in Bangladesh after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country on Monday following weeks of student protests that left hundreds dead.Young people took to the streets to demand an end to a quota system for civil servant jobs, which was later withdrawn.To find out more about the crisis, UN News's Anshu Sharma in Delhi spoke to the UN Resident Coordinator in Bangladesh, Gwyn Lewis, who said the mood in the country is hopeful, with “a sense of opportunity”.Ms. Lewis also expressed hopes for a new interim government - which will reportedly be led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus - while noting the critical role the UN plays in issues such as bolstering constitutional justice and supporting institutional reform. 

When the UN refugee agency (UNHCR), released its annual report on global trends in June, it showed, for the twelfth year in a row, record numbers of displacement, around 120 million people.Conflict remains the key factor behind the figures, and the report noted that the climate crisis is often a driver of that conflict.On the ground, in the countries particularly affected, the UN is working closely with governments and civil society to support development, in the face of these problems, so that people can lead peaceful lives and no longer need to leave home.Conor Lennon from UN News spoke to Mohamed Fall, the UN Resident Coordinator in Nigeria, about the deep impact the climate crisis is making on the population.

Mratibu Mkazi wa Umoja wa Mataifa na Mratibu wa muda wa Misaada ya Kibinadamu nchini Syria El- Mostafa Benlamlih amesema ingawa mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa na wadau wengine wa misaada wanafanya kila juhudi kusaidia wananchi walioathiriwa na matetemeko ya ardhi lakini hali ni mbaya kwani hawapati msaada ya kutosha.Katika mahojiano maalum aliyofanya na Idhaa ya Umoja wa Mataifa jijini New York Marekani El- Mostafa akiwa nchini Syria ameeleza mpaka sasa ingawa wanafahamu athari ni kubwa lakini bado hakuna ripoti kamili ya makadirio ya waathiriwa wa matetemeko ya ardhi hata hivyo kuna timu zinazofanya tathmini katika maeneo mbalimbali ya nchi hiyo ikiwemo Halab na Aleppo, “Majengo mengi yameanguka, watu wakiongea wanataja namba kubwa, lakini ni takriban majengo 40 yameanguka na mengine yamepiga nyufa hivyo yanaweza kuanguka muda wowote.  Kwahiyo nadhani hii inaweza kukuonesha athari.”Na je nini mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa yanafanya kusaidia wananchi walioathiriwa na matetemeko? “Sawa. Sote tunajaribu kuratibu na kuhakikisha kuwa tunafanya jambo sahihi na ili kuepuka kurudia kile mwingine anafanya. WHO wanaleta ndege mbili za misaada ya matibabu kutoka katika maghala yake yaliyoko Dubai ili kushughulikia mahitaji ya haraka.  WFP wanatoa chakula, tena kile kilicho tayari kuliwa na tena kwakutumia majiko yake wanatoa chakula chamoto kwa maelfu ya watu hasa wale wanaosaka hifadhi katika makazi ya muda na shule, nadhani tuna kama shule 70 au 80 ambazo zinatumika kama makazi ya muda ya watu wenye uhitaji na tunajitahidi kuwapa msaada wowote ule tunaoweza. UNFPA nao wanasaida hapo na kutoa misaada ya utu kwa watoto. UNICEF wanafanya tathmini pamoja na kuleta umakini kwenye mahitaji ya watoto. Pia shirika la kusaidia wakimbizi UNHCR nao wanatoa yale yanayohitajika ikiwemo kuweka makazi na vifaa vinavyohitajikana na watu.”Hata hivyo mratibu huyo wa misaada wa UN amesema changamoto kubwa yanayokabiliana nayo hivi sasa ni mafuta ya petroli ili kuweza kufikisha misaada mahali inapohitajika kwani Syria hivi sasa inakabiliwa na uhaba wa mafuta hata hivyo kwa ushirikiano wa mashirika ya UN wanatumia mafuta waliyonayo hususan ya WFP kusambaza misaada.Mratibu huyo alihitimisha mahojiano yake akieleza kuwa wasiwasi mkubwa hivi sasa ni kupata misaada ya kutosha kuweza kuwasaidia wananchi, “Ujumbe wa mwisho ni kwamba tunahitaji msaada kutoka kwa kila mtu. Hatupati msaada wa kutosha. Tunafanya kila tuwezalo kufika katika maeneo yanayohitaji usaidizi wetu, na tunahitaji usaidizi wa kila mtu. Na hilo ni jambo ambalo ni la haraka sana. Hatuwezi kusubiri hadi iwe tumechelewa sana.”

The deadly earthquakes that have killed thousands across Türkiye and Syria come on the back of an already desperate situation facing Syria's northwest, the UN Resident Coordinator for the Arab nation told UN News in an exclusive interview on Tuesday.El- Mostafa Benlemlih, who is also the UN's top humanitarian official in Syria, said the needs were huge in the affected area, which has seen more than a decade of war, a recent deadly cholera outbreak, and freezing winter temperatures.Abdelmonem Makki of our UN News Arabic team asked him to describe the latest situation on the ground.

With her writing, Amanda Khozi Mukwashi wants to change the conversation on race, gender, and identity. Now United Nations Resident Coordinator in Lesotho, she has written a book exploring the struggle for equity and the historical baggage of slavery and colonization. “Let's talk about it a little more freely, not for it to hold our hands and tie them, but for it to liberate us to think differently.” Moving back to the UK after leaving a high-level development post in Zambia, Amanda Khozi Mukwashi got tired of being asked where she was really from. In this episode, she reflects on the discrimination she has faced, on the rich family history she inherited from her grandmother, and on discovering her own multifaceted identity. “I realized I'm a black person and that people see the color of my skin first, before they see who I am and what I'm capable of doing…that was the rude awakening.”

Chris Mburu's life was transformed by a small act of kindness. Now the UN Resident Coordinator in the Republic of Congo, he grew up in a Kenyan family struggling to afford his education. That was until a stranger in Sweden offered to pay for him to go to school. “When I look at poverty, it evokes memories of my own childhood. What keeps me going is the desire to keep as many people as possible out of poverty, because I remember my past, and where I was, I really do not want to see anybody there.” After attending Harvard, the now UN human rights lawyer wanted to give back. Having found his long-lost childhood benefactor, Holocaust survivor Hilde Back, he set up a scholarship in her name to put Kenyan children through school. In this episode, Chris Mburu reflects on his own path out of poverty, the transformational power of development, and the ripple effect of small acts.

Briefing by Lynn Hastings, Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question.The Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Lynn Hastings said, “immediate steps to reverse negative trends and to support the Palestinian people are essential. The violence must stop. The tensions that have been mounting, particularly in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, amidst continued settlement activity and settler-related violence, must be addressed.”Briefing the Council today (26 Jul), the Deputy Special Coordinator said that for years, illegal settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, has been steadily shrinking the land available to Palestinians for development and livelihoods, limiting their movement and access, and eroding the prospects for establishing a viable Palestinian State. Three hundred and ninety-nine demolitions and seizures of Palestinian-owned structures and evictions this year have left over 400 Palestinians displaced.She noted that there is a growing sense of hopelessness among many Palestinians who see their prospects for statehood, sovereignty and a peaceful future slipping away.The Deputy Special Coordinator also said that settler-related violence continued during the reporting period, with particularly concerning incidents in the West Bank community of Ras al-Tin.On the night of 6 July, individuals believed to be Israeli settlers set fire to four points around the community, damaging several structures, including tents. The attack comes on the heels of additional settler attacks against the community in recent weeks, during which two residents were injured.Hastings reiterated that “perpetrators of all acts of violence must be held accountable and brought swiftly to justice. I also reiterate that security forces must exercise maximum restraint and use lethal force only when strictly unavoidable in order to protect life.”On 20 and 21 July, thousands of Israelis participated in a widely publicized campaign by a settler organization to establish settlement outposts across the West Bank. In advance of the campaign, Israeli Defense Minister Gantz issued a statement that such efforts “are illegal activities that the security services are preparing to thwart.” The Israel Defense Forces and Israeli police also issued similar statements. On 21 July, ISF removed the seven makeshift encampments that had been set up and evacuated the Israeli civilians from the area.The Deputy Special Coordinator welcomed the statements and actions by the Government of Israel to prevent the establishment of new outposts. She reiterated that “all settlements are illegal under international law and remain a substantial obstacle to peace.”On 2 July, the Palestinian Authority transferred the bullet that killed Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh to U.S. authorities to undergo forensic testing. On 4 July, following an analysis overseen by the U.S. Security Coordinator, the U.S. announced that the examiners “could not reach a definitive conclusion regarding the origin of the bullet” due to its damaged condition, Hastings said.She added that “the U.S. also said that, after viewing the results of both Israeli and Palestinian investigations into Aqleh's death, it had concluded that ‘gunfire from Israel Defence Forces positions was likely responsible,' and that it “found no reason to believe that this was intentional.”Riyad Mansour, Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to the UN also briefed the Council.He said, “the fate of an entire nation cannot be held hostage by Israeli politics or the settlers' agenda. The stakes are too high. The issue is too serious. The implications are too grave.”Ambassador Mansour also said, “there are two tasks that cannot be deferred or delay: providing protection to the Palestinian people, and we working with the SG in this regard and his team, and preserving the two-state solution on the 1967 borders. If there is to be a different future, then this is what needs to happen in the present.”Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan told the Security Council that “we take a century old conflict and then put it under a super microscope to analyze its most useless and insignificant aspects rather than seeing the big picture and look for real solutions to our real problems.”Sadly, Ambassador Erdan said, “nothing noteworthy has been achieved as a result of these debates, nothing for decades.”He also said, “Israel today doesn't even have a possible partner for negotiations as President Abbas doesn't represent all of the Palestinian society,” adding that “nevertheless, despite the heinous actions of Hamas, this Council remains silent.”

英语新闻|全球发展倡议正当其时FM: China's proposal 'warmly received, strongly supported' by over 100 nations中国的全球发展倡议得到100多个国家的热烈欢迎和强烈支持As development is getting increasingly marginalized on the international agenda amid the COVID-19 pandemic and regional conflicts, the China-proposed Global Development Initiative has rekindled hope among countries around the world about achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, according to diplomats and leaders of international organizations.外交官和国际组织领导人表示，随着新冠疫情的暴发和部分地区冲突，发展在国际议程上日益边缘化，中国提出的全球发展倡议重新点燃了世界各国对实现联合国可持续发展目标的希望。President Xi Jinping, who proposed the initiative at the UN in September, will chair the High-level Dialogue on Global Development on Friday. He will be joined by leaders of emerging markets and developing countries in a discussion of global development to reinvigorate international cooperation on development.国家主席习近平于2021年9月在联合国首次提出全球发展倡议，并将于2022年6月24日主持全球发展高层对话会。他将与有关新兴市场国家及发展中国家领导人一起讨论全球发展问题，以重振发展方面的国际合作。The initiative is "a promising response to the call for this decade of action" to promote the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, Siddharth Chatterjee, the UN Resident Coordinator in China, said on Monday at an event in Beijing on the launch of the Global Development Report.6月20日，联合国驻华协调员常启徳对于中国国际发展知识中心发布的《全球发展报告》表示，全球发展倡议是“2030可持续发展议程启动十年之时呼吁的有希望的回应”，并且能够促进实现可持续发展目标。Chatterjee said that the world today faces the profound, growing and interconnected challenges of a persisting pandemic, the climate crisis, conflicts, a fragile and uneven economic recovery, growing inflation, poverty and hunger, and rising inequality within and between countries. "China's responsible leadership at thiscritical time is welcome," he added.常启徳指出，当今世界面临着持续存在的流行病、气候危机、地区冲突、脆弱且不平衡的经济复苏、日益加剧的通货膨胀、贫困和饥饿以及国家内部和国家之间日益加剧的不平等等深刻、日益增长并相互关联的挑战。“中国在这一关键时刻的领导力备受欢迎”。The Global Development Initiative is an initiative to support the development of developing countries, promote global economic recovery in the post-pandemic era and strengthen international development cooperation.全球发展倡议是支持发展中国家发展、推动后疫情时代全球经济复苏、加强国家发展合作的倡议。The report, issued by the Center for International Knowledge on Development in Beijing, reviews progress on the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and existing challenges, and lays out policy recommendations for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.由中国国际发展知识中心发布的《全球发展报告》中，回顾了联合国2020年可持续发展议程的实施进展和存在的挑战，并为落实2030年议程提出了政策建议。Addressing Monday's event via video link, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the initiative, which aims to expedite the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and promotes stronger, greener and healthier global development, has been "warmly received and strongly supported by more than 100 countries".国务委员兼外交部长王毅于6月20日在北京以视频方式出席《全球发展报告》发布会并表示，全球发展倡议旨在推动加快落实2030年可持续发展议程，致力实现更加强劲、绿色、健康的全球发展，得到了国际社会的积极响应，迄今已有100多国表示支持。"The GDI is a rallying call to galvanize greater attention on development and bring it back to the center of the international agenda," Wang said. "It offers a 'fast track' to promote development, as well as an effective platform for all parties to coordinate development policies and deepen practical cooperation."王毅指出：“全球发展协议吹响了聚焦发展的‘集结号'，铺设了促进发展的‘快车道'，提供了落实2030年议程的‘加速器'，为汇聚各方资源、破解发展难题、促进协同增效注入强劲动力。”Noting that China is a consistent advocate of global development cooperation, Wang said: "We will stay committed to true multilateralism and an open and inclusive spirit of partnership, and actively share development expertise and experience. We are ready to work with all parties to implement the GDI, step up efforts to advance the 2030 Agenda, and build a global community of development."我国一贯倡导全球发展合作，对此王毅表示：“中方将坚持真正的多边主义和开放包容的伙伴精神，将为各国发展提供有益借鉴，为全球发展事业提供智力支持。中方愿同各方一道，携手落实全球发展倡议，加快推进2030年议程，共建全球发展共同体。”Hassane Rabehi, the Algerian ambassador to China, said that the initiative is a real expression of China's full commitment to multilateralism and a demonstration of its active and leading role in international development cooperation, as well as a general call by developing countries for common development.阿尔及利亚驻华大使哈桑纳·拉贝希指出，该倡议真实体现了中国对多边主义的坚定承诺，体现了中国在国际发展合作中的积极领导作用，也是发展中国家共同发展的普遍呼声。"The GDI is China's proposal for solving the problems and challenges facing humanity. It emphasizes peace and development, reduces the gap in terms of development between the North and the South, gives concrete content to the concept of human rights and promotes people's well-being," Rabehi said.拉贝希表示：“全球发展倡议是中国为解决人类面临的问题和挑战所提出的倡议，该倡议强调和平与发展，缩小南北发展差距，体现了人权理念，促进民生福祉。”Noting that the timing of the initiative is very crucial, Egyptian Ambassador to China Mohamed Elbadri said that he firmly believes the GDI will "strongly contribute to our joint effort in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and presents an excellent, inclusive, transparent platform to share best practices and relevant experiences" for the purposes of achieving the goals.埃及驻华大使穆罕默德·巴德里表示，全球发展倡议的时间非常关键，并坚信该倡议将“为我们实现可持续发展目标的共同努力做出重大贡献，提供了一个优秀、包容、透明的分享平台来分享优秀实践以及相关经验”来实现目标。marginalize英[ˈmɑːdʒɪnəlaɪz]；美[ˈmɑːrdʒɪnəlaɪz]vt.使处于社会边缘；使脱离社会发展进程；忽视；排斥reinvigorate英[ˌri:ɪnˈvɪgəreɪt]；美[ˌriɪn'vɪɡəreɪt]vt.使再振作，使复兴implementation英[ˌɪmplɪmen'teɪʃn]；美[ˌɪmplɪmənˈteʃən]n.
