>> i think damascus once to establish it is the real government in syria, so when you have agreementsu need to go through damascus and the syrian government, which means that the position is difficult and for the americans, it is difficult. they must realize that you need to discuss with that government, and when you recognize that, i guess the syrian will have to play the game. aleppo is a bit difficult because everybody is talking doing one third of aleppo if your position and no one is talking about the two thirds, which has been under the government of syria and has no problem, so we must take into perspective that there is not only position in syria, but you have people supporting the government, only because they are usually the minority and they do not want to get a talk by islamists, so this is a reality also. i think damascus at this stage is still having a presence in syria and you need to discuss with those governments. annette: we will have to leave it there. thank you so much. as we were talking about the other war in syria, u.n. general assembly is today, 135 governments

cnn's frederik pleitgen is tracking the latest live from syria inside of damascus.retary-general just outraged that this convoy was hit. >> reporter: yeah, yeah. it's not very often that you hear the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon use strong language. but he certainly did when he commented on the hitting of this aid convoy. he said it was unacceptable. and those who targeted this convoy were cowards and the aid workers were heroes. at the same time, a lot of finger pointing and a lot of denial. the u.s. believes only the russian air force was operating in that area when those took place. the russians for their part completely denied they were in that area. they say they were tracking that convoy before. but hours before that air strike took place, they say they stopped and they believe militants could be responsible for targeting the convoy. the syrian air force also said it has nothing do with it either. of course, the fact that this was targeted makes no notion to stop the violence here in syria even more unlikely than before. and while the u.s. said it's stil

. >> joining us live from damascus.ald trump calling nato an obsolete. >> last night he said he was fine with nato. that prompted the change and the stance of how much does the u.s. contribute to nato? >> it is hard to say what prompted the change or if he will stick with that change as we know sometimes his position can change on those issues. it is on the issue of who pays for nato, trump has ground here of the 28 members, by requirement, they're supposed to spend 2% of their gdp on defense and only five or six nations including the u.s. do that at this point. that's a fair argument. that jus not match with the facts. secretary clinton noted this last night after the 9/11 attack, nato invoked the defense in response of the attack to fight al-qaida and the taliban there. it is true that there is a financing problem with anywnato terms of spreading the burden around but as far as the counter terrorism focus, that goes back to more than a decade >> fred, you are in damascus, i want you to listen to both candidates what t
