Key takeaways from the UN General Assembly as leaders seek solutions to global conflicts and crises
ABCWorld leaders are gathering in New York this week with a growing list of conflicts and crises to discuss. "Our world is in a whirlwind," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, using his opening speech to point to global challenges including wars that "rage with no clue how they will end". Mr Biden, in his speech, said: "The good news is Putin's war has failed", because Ukraine remained free and NATO had grown in size and strength. "Gaza is not the only conflict that deserves our outrage," US President Joe Biden told the assembly, noting the war had pushed 8 million people to the brink of famine. "The world needs to stop arming the generals, to speak with one voice and tell them, 'Stop tearing your country apart, stop blocking aid to the Sudanese people, end this war now,'" Mr Biden said.
