Tomorrow, expect tough talk on iran and north korea. Today, more than 2 million children are now in jeopardy with little help in sight. The bike ride for the record books. A british cyclist has been around the world and 79 days. It makes me sore just thinking about it. Welcome to our viewers on Public Television and around the globe. Right now, traffic is a mess. It is time for the you and General Assembly. President trump will make his first address as a head of state. Expect, we what to now go to laura at you and headquarters. The pressing problems of the week. Will be debated this it is everything from the conflict in syria to the iran nuclear deal, the threat of north korea, and Climate Change in the wake of all of the hurricanes. The talk of the town is President Trump and there is trepidation at United Nations headquarters. Body he declare this world obsolete . It turned out, not so much. Here is my calling. Looked to thep United Nations as a real estate opportunity and build a tower opposite of it. He wanted a contract to perform refurbishment. People thought he would take a wrecking ball to the world aday, the club that he thought people will would talk and get together to have a good time. He came not to talk of demolition, but reform. He mentioned his previous life. I saw great potential. Nations beinged here that turned out to be such a successful project. Then, he said he wanted to make the United Nations great. The United Nations has not reached full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement. We encourage the secretarygeneral to use his authority to cut through this and make Firm Decisions to advance the core mission. Secretarygeneral has been an improbable ally. The former socialist Prime Minister of portugal spoke the same language as the billionaire president. Onour objective focuses more people and less on process. We are advancing shared values as our common goal. The u. N. The u. S. Is the biggest funding of peacekeeping missions, like this one in congo. The administration has the budget. The u. N. Had feared more savage cuts. Many were terrified the donald trump would destroy the institution that the United States did so much to create. This president realized he onded the United Nations issues like north korea and has not posed the existential threat to this body that many had feared. Donald trump is engaged in a diplomatic speed dating this week. For hisbe center stage first address to the General Assembly. Officials say he will hug the right people and slap the right people. For more on the week ahead, i ofke more to the president the United NationsGeneral Assembly and i began by asking him what the most pressing threat facing the world today is. About peaceaking and people. It is an issue of migration, terrorism, and staying focused on sustainable growth. It is about sustainable development. To unitedave been Nations Security Council resolutions in recent weeks. Do you think they will be effective or do you think there will be war on the horizon . Can know that no country resist the pressure of the community for too long. We have not been responding to the security council. Showss a big thing and it that this is a message in its self. I would respond to this and we need to find a peaceful solution to this problem. President trump will make a debut in front of World Leaders and he is someone who has shaken the world order and questioned the value of established alliances. Do you think he is committed . I think so. That we will get a positive message. U. N. Focus see the on people and be effective and efficient. That President Trump has found a useful role for nato . Beenhe United Nations useful to the administration . I dont want to speculate too much. The United States is a key partner when it comes to the decisionmaking process and the peacekeeping budget. We need a u. S. That is engaged and works closely and we want this to do you expect the plate of ohinja to come up this week . , inthey being persecuted your view question mark it is a humanitarian catastrophe. This is an issue and it is not enough. Especially not for those who expecting more. They expect action will stop the action will come because it is on the agenda. The government seems to be persecuting people within the borders without the world having much to say about that. Be an opportunity for her to provide her views. I believe the u. N. Should provide an objective history of the situation there. The president of the United NationsGeneral Assembly spoke to me just a little bit earlier. Packednt trump had a schedule and not much time for tweeting. Is iran is a big deal for donald trump. He does not like the deal. Do we have any idea what he says . Theredoes not look like will be a and brimstone reserved for iran. Nikki haley said he would slap some people and the iranians. Xpect a slap they are getting their response in. Donald trump doesnt like the nuclear deal. He says it is the worst deal ever negotiated. The European Union likes the deal with iran and a fear that the american president could say they are not compliant and congress will slap more sanctions and create uncertainty. We expect the french president to say to not do this. Otherwise, there is even more uncertainty in a world where there is already a lot of uncertainty with north korea. We will see what the president makes of that. We will bring you full coverage of the events. A quick look at the south Korean Defense ministry teaming up with the u. S. To hold a bombing exercise.

Teach usoes her story about the conflict in iraq and syria . I wanted to show the human we rarely hear from the people who were really on the front lines now. She lived that story and she was a remarkable person and a Community Leader and organizer, a person who was a go between between journalists and stories they are telling and she was looking to bring the news to people, although behind the scenes.
