from new york. ,yria is such a high priority especially in light of this attack on the aid convoy. what could happen in regard to syria today? later this wednesday, the un security council is meeting to discuss this crisis. i think we can expect to key points to be addressed. firstly, the issue of humanitarian access. currently u.n. agencies are not delivering aid because of the security threats and a lack of any security guarantees. that was graphically underlined by the bombing of that aid convoy and, of course, other relief organizations have also suspended their operations, certain relief organizations. a key priority of the un security council will be to try to start getting those convoys

flowing into the siege areas once again. the other issue which is completely linked to the issue of access is the cease-fire, which at the moment does not really exist on the ground. we can expect diplomats here to make at least a verbal commitment to reviving that cease-fire, which only lasted about a week. certainly diplomats here will be scrambling today to try to patch up or revive that truce. host: yesterday in new york, u.s. president barack obama hosted a summit on refugees. what came out of that? actually not a lot more than what came out of the summit on the same topic the previous day. the day before, u.n. members signed on to something called the new york declaration, but it refugeeicized by reveren

$4.5 billion more compared to 2015. as you can well imagine, various rights organizations here who have been holding various events on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly have been saying once again that this truly doesn't go far enough and kicks the can down the road for another two years. host: thanks for that. that's our international affairs editor reporting from new york. now to the democratic republic of congo where activists say that more than 44 people have been killed over the past two days. protests there turned violent after people turn to the streets. they are angry after a possible delayed presidential election, a move they say as part of a plan by the congolese president to expand his room. the human rights watch says many of those killed were shot when security forces fired on the crowd. here's more.

with political discontent growing and the democratic republic of congo, the so-called national dialogue was meant to bring opposing sides together. it was billed as a chance for president joseph kabila's party to meet with opposition before the upcoming presidential election tentatively scheduled to take place before the end of 2016. even before talks got underway early september, the country's electoral commission recommended pushing back the vote. there is a consensus that we have to work on the electoral schedule. rejected thefore roadmap. starting from december, we are hereby announcing we need 16 months and one day.

nine years. host: there was a decision from the central bank already in japan. guest: the nikkei in tokyo game 2% after they tweaked monetary stimulus policy. it did not cut interest rates further. they are already at -.1%, but they have changed their approach to bond buying. we talked earlier about what effect these changes will have. let's face it. the recent policy was squeezing the banks and virtually telling them not to do business almost. reversal of long-term and short-term rates for the first time in 24 years. this is basically to soothe the ground for the banks. financingl adhered to where the source of funds are mainly from the banks and directly. therder to really react to economy, we have to make sure the banks are healthy.
