security council, plus germany, will meet with the iranian foreign minister. secretary of state john kerry will be in the chair for the u.s. it will be a huge turn of events, the highest level meeting since the iranian revolution in 1979. britain's foreign secretary, william hague says tehran's words must be turned into concrete action. >> time is right for the statements to be matched by concrete steps by iraq. to address the international community's concerns about iran's intentions. if such steps are taken, i believe a more instructive relationship can be created between us. >> iran's new president, hassan rouhani, is in new york and will address the assembly tuesday after the western friendly oped in "the washington post."

of bashar al-assad, iran and the u.s., and its allies are on opposite sides. then there's iran's backing of the military wing of hezbollah, a listed terror group operating in syria and lebanon. iran's nuclear program left the country isolated. a former diplomat in iran's un mission says hassan rouhani can change that, especially now as iran's highest authority sees the need for flexibility. >> mr hassan rouhani has enough authority, free authority to deal with particular problems. >> the mandate means for the first time in more than three decades, instead of pes imism, there's a degree of opt miss m as an iranian leader prepares to speak to the world at the u.n.

gunmen. given we know 12-15 gunmen were involved in the initial attack, it suggests there's some way to go before they get all the gunmen and move through the building and confirm that this crisis is over. >> the big question is what does this attack say about the changing movement of al-shabab? >> this is interesting. you mentioned in your introduction that al-shabab has been linked to al qaeda. this is the first attack we have seen on this scale. there has been other attacks outside of somalia. one, significantly, in uganda when they attacked a crowd watching the world cup soccer final. that was a series of suicide bombings, suicide attackers. they have carried out several attacks like this inside somalia, but nothing on this scale. what is interesting is we heard from a spokesman from al-shabab

earlier, who said that this was an attack that was coordinated with al-shabab - sorry, with al qaeda. al-shabab has been split into two groups, one that was a nationalist movement trying to free somalis of foreign influence and another a jihadist movement linked to al qaeda idea logically. we have not seen koord names on this scale, and it suggests, the scale, sophistication, awed afty of the attack suggests that al qaeda has been more closely involved. it implies the movement is from a sam articly based institution, organization into one that has global ambitions. >> you said they split - why would they join together now? >> the movement seems to have split within the last six to eight months. the leader of the national

faction of al-shabab defected and went over to the government side. we saw a number of internal killings for high profile al-shabab commanders in recent weeks. that suggests that the jihadist faction of the organization is on the ascendency. this latest attack seems to confirm that. in fact, in the statement, in the comments we heard from the al-shabab spokesman, it commenced that they were working closely with al qaeda in organising and coordinating. >> peter greste live in nairobi, thank you for being with us. >> there's word that some of the gunmen involved in the attack on the mall in kenya may have ties to the united states and britain. that's according to the kenyan foreign minister who made the allegations in an interview with pbs. >> everyone needs to update again. this attack shows we don't do enough, we need to work more closely with everyone, but more

with the u.s. in the u.k. because, as you know, the victims and the perpetrators came from kenya, the u.k. and the united states. >> both british and american citizens were among the perpetrators? >> yes. from the information that we have, two or three americans, and i think so far i have heard of one brit. >> the brit was a british-born woman. woman. i think she's done this many times before. >> and the americans? >> from the information we have, are young men, about - between maybe 18 and 19. >> of somali orange jip. >> of somali or arab, that lived in the u.s., in minnise oata is one -- minnesota, i think, is one place. that underlines the global

nature of the war we are fighting. >> a small grouch of demonstrators held a protest at the university of ohio where the president of the somalia lives. >> chant chant >> mr mohammed said he met with kenya's president to send his condolences. he called al-shabab a threat to the world. >> police in chicago charged two men in connection with a shooting that injured 13 people. the shooting broke out last thursday at a basketball court in a park on the southsides. 21-year-old brian chance and 21-year-old gatewood are suspected of playing significant roles. police don't think either pulled the trigger. >> an federal bureau of investigation on the wrongside of the law, the bond technician will plead guilty to leaking

they are universe am. a ransom demanded by house republicans. it's open, unworkable and unrealistic. >> if congress votes to continue funding obamacare, that union exception will not be far away. then we'll have left in a world with the job-killing consequences of obamacare falling on american families, not corporations and members of congress, and in the near future i predict not on union boss, only on hard-working american families, single mums, and people struggling to climate the economic ladder. >> ted cruz doesn't have enough on his side. john mccain, bob corker and mitch mcconnell - they will not join a fila buster. it's a fait accompli. it will take all week because of

procedure, into the weekend to have the vote in the senate decoupling the defunding of obamacare. it will be left to the house and there's little time for the house to act before it goes over the cliff and the government doesn't have the funding to prevent a government shutdown. >> the number of illegal immigrants across the country appears to be on the rise. >> according to the new pew estimate 11.7 million unauthorised immigrants were living in the u.s. as of march 2012. the number of unauthorised immigrants peaked at 12.2 million in 2007 and fell to 11.3 million in 2009. once the king of the smartphone market blackberry's gory days may be -- glory days may be behind it. it is now going private. we hear what it will mean for
