US President Barack Obama spoke at the launch of the UN’s 
new sustainable development goals (SDGs) on Sunday in a diplomatic meet 
that has been overshadowed by conflicting Western and Russian approaches
 to Syria’s civil war.Obama has warned 
world leaders that they will not meet new UN anti-poverty targets 
without tackling corruption and ending discrimination against women, 
gays and other marginalised groups.“Development is threatened by bad 
governance,” Obama said in a 28-minute speech in which he criticised 
unequal societies and discrimination against women, gays, disabled 
people, ethnic minorities and other groups.He spoke on the final day of a three-day
 meeting on the SDGs – a blueprint of 17 targets to end poverty globally
 and tackle other problems that each of the UN’s 193 members has agreed 
to work towards, voluntarily, until 2030.“In the face of corruption that siphons 
billions away from schools and hospitals and infrastructure into foreign
 bank accounts, governments have to embrace transparency and open 
government and rule of law,” he said.Advocates
 say the goals are a noble effort to improve the planet. Critics say 
they are too ambitious and, with an estimated annual price tag as high 
as $5 trillion, too costly for a global economy that is still recovering
 from the 2007-08 credit crunch.</div>
