I never dreamed that i would one day have, well, two things, really. An indoor toilet, and a job as host the daily show. Trevor noahs first night as a daily show. Host. The reviews and comparisons to john stewart. And we begin with the battle against isil. And if there is one thing that the u. S. And russia can agree on, it is defeating that group. But how to do it is what separates president obama and president putin. Today at the u. N. That divide is front and center. President obama chaired a summit to talk about isil and the strategies against it. Mike viqueira is with us in studio. The fall out does continue.

Secretary of shade skwonl kerry and Russian Foreign men tir Sergey Lavrov met at the u. N. Expecting to meet about the airstrikes as early as today, the pentagon is already warning the russians to reconsider their approach.

And good evening. We begin tonight with the deadly bombing of a hospital in afghanistan. 19 died and 37 were hurt when u. S. Air strikes hit the medical facility in the city of kunduz. Doctors without borders runs the hospital and says it had clearly informed the military of its location. The afghan president and the u. S.

Criticizing, again, the Iran Nuclear Agreement and Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas. You heard it all, john. I did. We did not expect netanyahu to focus so heavily on the Iran Nuclear Agreement. Was anything different in his message today .

However, that was not the way it turned out and Prime Minister netanyahu spoke at length about iran and dominated really most of his address here at the General Assembly. He did make overtures towards president obama though ahead of that meet

A chaotic scene on campus this morning as you can imagine just after 10 30 in the morning. Police reporting single shooting opening fire in a classroom and then either being shot or shooting himself. We dont know but engaging in a shootout with police. The current president of the Umpqua Community college described that scene and the response this morning. A plan in place for campus violence and we went into lockdown immediately and people did exactly what they were supposed to do and pulled in people who were outside and sheltered them. So, adam, as you see, theyve been told there was a quick and tremendous response from police here. That they were on the scene four to five after the very first reports of the shooting came in. We also want to go to a little piece of comment that we have from somebody wh
