00:00I think it's very appropriate that we're here given that the Pope has said that the use and possession of
00:07nuclear weapons is immoral and it is because we know that the humanitarian and environmental consequences of any use of
00:17nuclear weapons will be catastrophic, catastrophic for humanity, catastrophic for the planet and so what we're seeing in
00:30in Europe and with the wars going on with the threats of nuclear threats being made is it means that
00:35we're in a very dangerous time and we need to be stepping back from the brink we need to be
00:42moving rather than towards confrontation militarization and proliferation we need to be moving towards de-escalation, diplomacy and dialogue that
00:55what is what is needed is peace and dialogue and diplomacy not more
00:59confrontation and militarization we're seeing vast amounts of money being spent on military expenditure including on nuclear weapons money that
01:10could be better spent going towards global challenges like the environment crisis like housing and education and health
