Among Criticite and on Thursday the 22nd of January, these are our main stories. Donald Trump has presided over a signing ceremony for his Board of Peace, which he says will usher in glorious and everlasting peace for the Middle East and the wider world. But critics say it's designed to replace some of the UN's functions.
What is the significance of Trump's Board of Peace announcement?
Tämä puolue on mahdollisuus olla yksi suurimpia yksityiskohtaisia, joita on luotu. Ja se on minun erinomainen onno, että olen osallistunut sen puolueen. Olin erittäin onnollinen, kun he kysyivät minua tekemään sen. Denmarkin puolueen ministeri on arvioinut, että hänen maailmansa teritoriaalinen integraatio pitäisi olemaan arvioitu, päivän jälkeen kun presidentti Trump sanoi, että mahdollinen sopimus Greenlandin kanssa on saavutettava kaikki, mitä hän haluaa. Wild Life Rangers Pakistanissa on saavutettu 11 laajaa, joita on ilmeisesti pysynyt Lahoreissa, josta yksi elokuvan on saavutettu ja hän on saavuttanut naisen. Also in this podcast several people, including children, are missing after a landslide engulfed a campsite on the North Island of New Zealand. I heard this huge tree crack and all this dirt come off behind me. And then I look behind me and there's this huge landslide coming down. I'm still shaking from it now. It's like the scariest thing I've ever experienced in my life. And we look ahead to the runners and riders for this year's Academy Awards as the nominations come out and one film makes Oscars history.
Some of the most powerful leaders in the world are continuing to spend these winter days in the Swiss Alps. This is certainly no apreski holiday, but rather another day of diplomacy at the World Economic Forum in Davos. President Trump began today's agenda by hosting a signing ceremony for the charter of his Board of Peace, a body that was initially formed to oversee the rebuilding of Gaza following the US-brokered ceasefire last October. But the US president says that he sees the body as going beyond Gaza to address global challenges. Speaking on a stage full of leaders, including the Hungarian president Viktor Orban and Argentina's Javier Millet, although notably no Palestinian leadership or major European powers were present. Today we're announcing more details regarding the Board of Peace, so important. This board has the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created.
It's my enormous honor to serve as its chairman. I was very honored when they asked me to do it. And every country, just about every country, wants to be a part of it. The room has also shown a new Gaza slideshow presented by Trump advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner. It showed futuristic seaside high-rise buildings on the current Gaza Strip.
How do critics view the Board of Peace and its implications for the UN?
The board also has a $1 billion price tag for a permanent membership, although it's not clear where this money will go. So far, Qatar, Turkey and Egypt are among countries that have announced they would join the board. Israel has also publicly confirmed its participation. Many critics say this body is going to replace the United Nations. Martin Griffiths is the former Undersecretary General of Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator for the UN. He has big reservations about the Board of Peace. We must all welcome the activism of Mr Trump on wars. I mean, that is an energy which we have lacked in the past. It's a good thing. Gaza is the first outing. Gaza is the first test. I'm not sure it's going to work. I don't think Gaza is an easy one anyway. And I think the test of this grand new scheme, which is a grand new scheme, is going to be whether it moves to phase two properly in Gaza. The signs are not good.
UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper told the BBC that the country wouldn't be a signatory today, citing concerns about the involvement of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russia's news agency TASS reports that President Putin is ready to send $1 billion of Russian assets frozen in the US to Trump's Board of Peace. Earlier I spoke to our security correspondent Frank Gardner. I asked him what stood out to him from President Trump's speech.
