and our thanks to you for being with us as we start off a new week around here. good night from all of us at nbc news headquarters in new york.

this year. this is not lost on the white house. with a senior official calling the general assembly quote an enormous opportunity to demonstrate leadership and values. despite to go up script added

the president spent much time honing and crafting this address. >> meanwhile the assembly began yesterday here in new york city and president trump who has been critical of the importance relevance and effectiveness of the u.n. in the past. focused on reforming the 72-year-old organization. >> take a listen. >> in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement. we seek united nations that regains the trust of the people around the world. in order to achieve this. the united nations must hold every level of management accountable. protect whistle blowers and focus on results rather than on process. to honor the people of our nations we must ensure that no one and no member state shows us a disproportionate share of the burden. >> trump went on to throw his support behind secretary general

antonio gutierrez saying he has great reform revision and ushering in much needed changes. also had a meeting with benjamin netanyahu discussed ongoing peace effort and trump proclaimed to believe there is quote a good chance of it happening and quote we are giving it an absolute go. trump also met with president emmanuel macron. unlike past meetings did not share tense handshake. picked up newfound friendship where it left off in paris. speaking of which, president trump floated this idea for a new independence day celebration. >> i do want to say that i was your guest at bastille day and one of the greatest parades i've ever seen. it was military might and i think a tremendous thing for france and spirit of france. people don't know what great warriors they are in france. you see that with all the victories. it was a tremendous day and to a

large extent because of what i witnessed, we may do something like that on july 4 in washington down pennsylvania. i don't know. we're going to have to try to top it. >> let's talk a bit about north korea and joining us live from beijing china. good to have you with us on what is expected to be a very busy day. what do you expect from president trump to talk about north korea and what china may be expecting to hear from him today as well. >> president trump as we know does not have a strong international track record. he snubbed the g 7 leaders. dropped out of the paris climate deal. at the nato summit refused to endorse mutual defense which is the cornerstone of the nato alliance. mixed messaging yesterday seemed to be flattery towards the u.n. was certainly seen as a welcome sign. today could be a whole new day.

as you say his speech is likely to focus on north korea being the biggest foreign policy issue facing him and administration. to this point, president trump's strategy has been to outsource responsibility for the north korea problem to china. we could see an expansion on that where trump will call to global leaders to safe guard own security, but also to take collective action against north korea and not make this solely a u.s. problem. what some people are calling burden sharing. it's not expected -- it's not expected to be the sort of crowd that president trump is used to show. he's used to very ruckus rallies he can make jokes and speak with kn nuance. that sort of thing. it will be an opportunity to hear perhaps the most decisive terms yet. what the u.s. plan is for north korea. if there is a plan for north korea. what is a very crucial juncture.

sanctions have been maxed out. the loose talk of ill defined military options. certainly all on president trump to see what he has to say in terms of what comes next when dealing with the regime. >> the russian leader vladimir putin is not going to be attending the general assembly this year. one more obstacle on that attempt. thank you very much for joining us. new report for the "new york times" claims prosecutors working for mueller told p manafort they intend to indict him. taking over the russia investigation. according to the times, fbi in manafort's home was conducted in accordance with a search warrant that allowed agents to get inside the home by picking the lock on the front door. two people close to the investigation told the times it was after that raid that prosecutors warned manafort of

an indictment. the "new york times" described the tone of the mueller investigation like this, dispensing what the plotting pace typical of many white color investigation many mulers team has used what some describe as shock and awe tactics. they have been interested since 2014. spokesperson for manafort has declined to comment. the russia investigation continues the family of former national security adviser of michael flynn set up legal defense fund for him. brother and sister wrote, quote, the various investigation arising out of 2016 presidential election have placed financial burden on brother mike and

family. the enormous expense of attorney's fees and other related expenses far exceed their ability to pay. according to website for the fund, donation from foreign governments will not be accepted nor will money from the trump campaign or trump organization. >> in last-ditch effort to repeal and replace obamacare got a big boost when two senate committees announced plans to hold hearings next week. talking about proposal from graham and cassidy to replace the affordable care act. democrats are urging republicans to wait for a full c barack obama -- cbo score. that could take weeks. >> there's another way to the republicans so many of them my good friends who are frustrated

with the divisive destructive health careless process that paralyzed the senate for much of the year and resulted in nothing, but failure, there's another option. we have gone on a path to bipartisan ship. don't destroy it by pushing trump care again in the dark of night. >> the bill has already lost support from one republican and rand paul tweeting quote i can't support a bill that keeps 90% of obamacare in place. it is not repeal or replace. it's more obamacare like. meanwhile john mccain. susan collins helped defeat the party health care bill in july said they're undecided. yesterday the governor of arizona endorsed the bill. >> joining us from washington. coauthor of the political playbook. good morning to you. let's stick with the topic of health care. yaz min was saying rand paul coming out against the graham

cassidy bill. two more no votes will kill the legislation. do you think we can expect this to fair better than the reconciliation act that was defeated in july. >> democrats worry there's more momentum this time. they've worked in a process to try to get more republicans on board. i think mccain is still saying that this is not a bill that went through regular order. so i know you mentioned those two syrians next week. those are not real like markup hearings where you look at amendments and try to approve the bill. those hearings are more for show. republicans admit that. this bill still faces uphill climb. because a lot of those remaining unknown republicans, they wouldn't say they're going to vote no right now. they would say that at the last minute. >> i want to turn to the mueller investigation and "new york times" report i was talking about. paul manafort possibly facing

indictment. commenting that mueller's tactics are more consistent with how you go after organized crime syndicate. can we assume here that mueller's russia probe is closing in on manafort. >> manafort may not be able to escape. he may not have damaging information enough on trump to kind of get flipped. when you talk about a guy like manafort who is dealing with millions of dollars from shady ukrainian political parties. not surprised mueller says that's not kosher. we'll talk to you again at the

bottom of the hour. >> thank you. residents of caribbean are bracing for impact as hurricane maria rips through the region after losing some strength and being downgraded to a category four storm. storm made landfall in doe min ka overnight. minica overnight. now looks to have sights of puerto rico which escaped direct hit from hurricane irma last week. people are now preparing for what could be a historic hurricane. nbc news gabe gutierrez has more on the preparations from san juan. >> reporter: already lashing the caribbean, hurricane maria is heading towards puerto rico. in san juan, a frantic scramble for supplies, again, just days after irma, maria rapidly

intensifies. >> there's no water anywhere. can't find water. can't find ice. >> while irma decimated islands like barbuda, only grazed puerto rico. still knocked out electricity to 75% of the island. this spree of storm exposing problems. among the hardest hit areas of irma, debris still piled on the street. nancy road on irma in her home when a tree fell through her roof. now, she's terrified of what r maria might bring. it's going to be a challenge. >> puerto rico's governor urged people in flood prone areas to get out. >> it's the difference between life and death. it's really that simple. >> puerto rico was the safe haven for 3500 evacuees from other caribbean islands. some on diehall sis still in the

from cat one to cat five. the island in dominica is crying out for help. they got nailed by 160-mile-per-hour winds. all of the reports i've heard is that structures are destroyed. report of the hospital roof has been knocked off. the generators is not operational. you can imagine the pain that is going on there. slowly get today break here in dominica. direct hit. only the second time in recorded history we've had two cat fives in the same hurricane season make land fall. a lot of times the storms stay out to sea. not this year, barbuda and dominica go down in the history books dealing with cat five storms just two weeks apart. they're in the north eastern quadrant of the storm. cat four now. the high elevation of dominica did weaken it slightly. still a hurricane warnings up for many areas here. nieves, puerto rico, virgin

islands, see the devastation that we're going have if we get this going through puerto rico or the virgin islands. let me take you to the latest. updated path from the hurricane center. they do have it being a cat four. wednesday at about 2:00 p.m. near saint you. less than 24 thours away from the possibility of going right over. then to dominican republic and brushing the turks and caicos and then further north. here's saint you. not a good position. croix. not a good position. that's positioned just outside of san juan. where third of the population is. this would be horrible. even saint thomas would be on

the dirty side of the storm. and northeast quadrant of puerto rico. that's about as bad as you get. as far as impact would go with the storm. two concerns, one would be the extreme winds of course. also the rainfall up to two feet. mountains in puerto rico. that would cause extreme mud slides and also some flooding on the rivers too. pretty scary stuff. when we see the pictures of what happened in dominica, it's going to be devastating. look like irma all over again. that possibly could be heading for areas of san juan. it's a lot of people that live in that region. this could be a humanitarian disaster in 24 hours. >> a lot of people living on dominica as well. if it has been obliterated. how to you protect against that considering it ramped up so fast. >> that makes it worse. that's the fear of every emergency manager, every county on the east coast of the united states and gulf and florida. rapidly intensifying storm that moves in one day. you don't have a lot of time to

prepare. >> no time at all. thankfully a lot of people in puerto rico are trying to evacuate there. in former white house press secretary sean spicer says he regrets trying to mislead the american people on the sign of inauguration crowd. this comes after he was hammered on social media for appearance at the emmy where he made light of that tale. asked if he regrets what he said the day after the inauguration he said of course i do. absolutely. >> return to the giants. just in turn for monday night football that didn't make a difference. going to have the game highlights next in sports. boost. it's about moving forward, not back.

welcome back. i'm yaz min alongside lewis berg dofr. burgdorf. last night increased to category five. now moving towards puerto rico. bill karins will have the very latest on the hurricane path coming up in just a couple of minutes. >> more protests scheduled in st. louis today. last night assembled for a peaceful night of protest outside the city jail. the past three days saw peaceful protest during the day descend into destruction at night. 123 arrests have been made. several incidents of property damage being reported. follows friday's acquittal of a former st. louis police officer in the 2011 shooting death of a black suspect. >> demonstrations in atlanta over the deadly police shooting over 21-year-old georgia tech

student turned violent last night. issued emergency alert urging students to seek shelter. earlier in the evening gathered for a peaceful vigil. police say shot him saturday as walking towards officers with a knife and ignored commands to drop the weapon. now back to top story and president trump will address the united nations general assembly for the very first time later today. north korean crisis as you can imagine will be a main focus on his speech. he will also promote america first doctrine. at the same time, push for burden sharing on global issues. senior administration officials call on member states to do their part in confronting regime such as iran and north korea. adding quote nations cannot be bystanders to history. yesterday held bilateral meetings with benjamin netanyahu and french president, emmanuel macron. also took part in reforming the

united nations. >> in recent years the united nations has not reached full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement. we seek a united nations that regains the trust of the people around the world. in order to achieve this, the united nations must hold every level of management accountable, protect whistle blowers and focus on results rather than on process. to honor the people of our nations, we must ensure that no one and no member state shoulders a disproportionate share of the burden. >> joining us now from london, allie, the stakes are high for president trump and personally. especially considering tumultuous nato and g 7 summits earlier in the year. what can we expect out of the president today. >> well, there's some key issues he's going to talk about. the threat from north korea, the

iran nuclear deal and a lot of stake when it comes to hot foreign policy topics. my miscalculations could have dire consequences. he'll also probably talk about how to make the u.n. more efficient. how it can run more smoothly with less bureaucracy while at the same time promoting america first as he did previously during the g 7 and nato meetings where he demanded european countries pay more towards their defense. lectured rulers who saying the 23 of the 28 members were not paying what they should be and that it wasn't fair on the american taxpayer to pick up the tab. this is all central to his theme of america first. where better to promote it than on the world stage of the u.n. in his own backyard. these are the climate change and iron nuclear deal are going to be hard to put america first when you're at odds with everybody else. for issues as big as these, you

need the support of your allies and partners otherwise it's going to be a costly and lonely endeavor. eamon. now reporti ining hurricane maria ramped up to category five. going to check on that in a bit. president addresses u.n. turmoil swirling around policy team. rex tillerson accused of crippling the department he's charged with leading. then next for nikki haley. andrea mitchell reports. >> reporter: the president's first meeting at the u.n. with u.n. ambassador nikki haley close behind. not the nation's top diplomat. rex tillerson. >> hi, i'm the new guy. >> now wildly criticized for providing over a state department where nobody is home.

out of six secretaries. one is in place. out of 26 instaassistant secret only one trump appointee. foreign diplomats telling nbc news they have no one to call. tillerson the first to not personally deliver the yearly human rights report. >> there is a perception the united states is abandon its fundamental of our foreign policy and that is respect for human rights. >> tillerson telling the nbc staff last week his top priority. >> the most important thing i can do is enable this organization to be more effective, more efficient. >> proposing such drastic state department cuts, the republican senate insisted on adding $11 billion to the budget. slamming tillerson's proposal as a doctrine of retreat that would weaken america's standing in the world. >> don't call it foreign relations for nothing. it's about relationships.

it's about negotiations. you need people to do that. >> in the wings the high profile u.n. ambassador nikki haley, could she be angling for his job. >> i'm not going to be asked. rex tillerson is not going anywhere. >> in her report, the rivalry is so intense, one state department official pointed out haley thought it more important to appear at the white house friday than attend a crisis meeting about north korea. new report by the "new york times" claims prosecutors working for special counsel robert mueller they intend to indict him. describing quote aggressive tactics by mueller and his team since taking over the investigation. according to the times the raid on manufacturaforts home was co with a search warrant. 's home d with a search warrant. two people told the times it was after that raid that prosecutors

warned manafort of an indictment. dispensing what the plotting pace, typical of many white color investigations mr. mueller's team has used what some describe as shock and awe tactics to intimidate witness and potential targets of the inquiry. meanwhile, cnn reporting that the fbi has been interested in manafort before and after the election. including as part of the fbi investigation into the ties between the trump campaign and russia. a spokesperson for manafort has declined to comment on both of the new reports. as the russia investigation continues, family of former national security adviser michael flynn has set up legal defense fund for him. creation of the fund, flynn's brother and sister wrote quote, the various investigations arising out of the 2016 election have placed a tremendous financial burden on our brother mike and fare.

enormous expense of attorney's fees and other related expenses far exceed their ability to pay. according to website for fund, donations from foreign governments will not be accepted nor money from the trump campaign or trump organization. alleged deal with democrats on the future of daca reached a boiling point. confronting house minority leader nancy pelosi in her home district. >> our purpose is very important people -- >> demonstrators interrupted the press conference yesterday as she tried discussing the dream act. objecting to the framework of that increasing border security. the protesters indicated they are not happy with the deal. arguing it focuses only on continued protection for those

in daca, but does not include comprehensive immigration reform. pelosi's efforts to calm the group's anger yielded little success. this is my response. my response is the following. for a long time we've been fighting the fight for the dreamers. g . >> all dreamers. all 7 million. >> do you want to hear? do you want to hear an answer or do you just want to shout. let me say this because you've had your say and it's beautiful to our years to hear your protection, your self dignity, but i'm not -- hey. if you don't -- stop it. just stop it now. just stop it now. just stop it now.

>> pelosi eventually left the press conference as protesters called her a liar and chanted leave office. meanwhile rhode island has announced she has helped secure $170,000 to help cover the renewal fees for people from her state covered by daca. says the money from local and national fundraisers will go towards the estimated 1200 dreamers living in her state. >> joining us from washington, co-author of the political play book. good to see you, daniel. want to stick with the topic there. pretty intense to see her getting shouted down and trying to respond in some way, shape, or form to say the least. this is going to be a big challenge. this daca deal. >> yes, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer have been working with trump to protect these 800,000 young adults from deportation from trump's order to basically

have these people leave the country. when you deal with trump, that really miupsets the democratic activist base that does not want pelosi or schumer to deal with a president they despise. this is a natural reaction when you buddy up with trump. it's not unexpected. >> turn to health care quick. i know gop has revived a push to repeal with a new bill by senators graham and cassidy. how are democrats responding to new legislation and can we expect this bill to pass. or is there staunch opposition to it already. >> chuck shuchumer is trying to hang tight saying you have to call congress. when you have this deadline of september 30, realtime pressure to get it done. democrats are going to be

calling their congressman and senators saying fight this to the death. democrats are going to use a lot of amendments too next week if this bill hits the floor. so it's really uncertain. if someone says they know the outcome of this bill, they're lying to you because we just don't know. >> we've seen sort of a warming of relation shall we say between the president and democrats. one of the reasons nancy pelosi was being shouted down over daca. do you think that could help with the health care conversation. >> democrats are saying we should stick to bipartisan push that le mar alexander the republican from tennessee and d.c. from washington. pursuing own package for health care fixes and that's been helped by new bipartisan tone in washington. that would really make it much more hard to do.

following president trump's visit to the agency headquarters first week in office, president told incoming cia director mike pompei and other officers that he wanted them to take a more aggressive posture. those officials say shortly afterward the cia began carrying out drone strikes that might have not been authorized under the obama administration including inside syria. former president obama had worked to reduce the role in killings and shift that responsibility to the military. the officials add the white house is also granted the agency more autonomy to decide on pulling the trigger on strikes. with a goal of less micro managing on targeting decisions by the white house. still ahead, now a category five. very last on hurricane maria have has been upgraded. bill karins will have the latest on where the storm is heading

welcome back. tracking hurricane maria. upgraded to category five. now setting sights on puerto rico. bracing for a potentially historic storm. let's get all the very latest on the path of the storm and what it means for the region with meteorologist bill karins. it's scary. we're very scared for puerto rico and our friends in saint croix. we're already done with the devastation in dominica and also guadeloupe. those areas hit by a cat five. see the destruction we saw with irma. now focusing further up the island chain. brushed today in areas like nieves, saint kits. next direct impact is up there in saint croix. that would happen 3-5:00 a.m. in

the morning. here's the latest. hurricane went back in. originally when it came off dominicale was category four. ramped rightca was category fou ramped right back up. it will greatest concern right now is this island right here. saint croix in the southern virgin islands and then as we cross over the top of puerto rico, probably the northeast corner of puerto rico. and then we take the storm dangerously close to dmin republic and bend it out to sea after that. we start to focus on center line. 2:00 a.m. near category four or five strength. doesn't make a difference. going to be devastating. right over the top of saint croix. 50,000 people live on saint

croix. go throughout the early morning hours. possible land fall in the eastern half of puerto rico. 145-mile-an-hour winds. it could be a cat five at land fall here in areas east of puerto rico. the population of puerto rico is about 3.7 million. roughly about 1 million people live in the greater san juan area. if that center line holds true, category four, category five right over the top of san juan. if this happens as forecasted right now, this would be one of the worst hurricane disasters we've ever seen in the world. i mean, miami has a population of about 500,000 people. this would be equivalent of a cat four of five going straight into miami. i imagine the infrastructure is better in miami. this is a very fearful forecast for the residents of puerto rico. it's a worst-case scenario if it takes that center line. it's going to hit someone.

it would be less impactful for lives and damage if it was a little further to the north. of course that would be worse for saint thomas or a little further to the south worse for the cities in the southern half of puerto rico. for san juan, this is juan, this is scary stuff. >> unbelievable when you think about the devastation that took place because of irma and this. >> i'm trying to go back to hear the history of a cat 4 or a cat 5 in a bigger city like this it hasn't hav happened. still ahead, toys 'r' us is think of of filing business bankruptcy, what that means. kevin zblrnlgs
