ambassador haley: good question. that is exactly what we're trying to go to with peacekeeping which is look at the original mandate and see if it is working. the goal with peacekeeping reforms is the number one make sure we shift what we saw -- where it wasn't about more resources but being smarter with the resources. it was about, what are we going to do in terms of reporting. we can look at the contributing countries and see if we are holding them accountable. the strategic review was very important in september. the idea was to go back and see if we are on the right path. so much of these peacekeeping missions, i feel like, have been people just assume they are always going to be there but really our goal is to make sure they are working for the people on the ground, and especially with minusco, when you see so many of the cards remaining in -- when you see so many of the soldiers remaining in their barracks while the citizens are being threatened, that is not peacekeeping. what i hope to see is, is the mandate re

without further a do, ambassador haley. first and haley: foremost we have been glued to the news in reference to the russian event that happened today in st. petersburg. no matter where this happened it is heartbreaking. when you see innocent lives lost in such a senseless manner, it goes back to just enforce why the security council is so important. why what we do at the united nations is so important and why our priority has to be focused on those issues. our thoughts and prayers go out to those who were lost and their loved ones at this time. i am going to have to remember and i ask is that you will help me with this is switching on the hat on and off when i am security council president and when i am in my national capacity. if you have any question of which one i am speaking on, the more respectful and polite one will be missed security council president and the one that will be more blunt is me. let me start with the most important news of the day and that is south carolina won the basketball tournament last night whi

>> i think you heard nikki haley call out russia. there is blood on russia's hands. you will see congress on the coming days call on the united nations to act and condemn in the strongest terms possible, the murderous activities of the assad regime. we'll be calling on the assad regime to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. this is a despicable act and this administration, administrations around the world cannot sit idly by and do nothing. >> listen to these strong words from nikki haley earlier today. >> reporter: russia cannot escape responsibility for this. in facts, if russia had been fulfilling their responsibility, there would not be any chemical weapons left for assad to use. >>> senator, how do you explain tough condemnation of russia and its support for assad as well as the president's silence when it comes to russia, he doesn't even mention russia's involvement in syria. >> what i think is clear is that nikki haley, the administration is calling on the administration to act in the strongest way possible and build a coalition that can prot

haley: ok. enter in quickly, abigail. when the united states is going they came upii, with petitions. were not nothing less than three weeks, 21,000 native alliance signed it, more than half of the surviving population. in the united states, it would be the equivalent of 37.5 million people at the time. lili'u went with them after she served time in prison at the palace for a counter coup that failed. this one is my favorite.

ambassador nikki haley.know, the russians are denying that assad had anything to do with it. in fact a spokesman for russian defense ministry said this weekend the u.s. has no prove of chemical weapons at the airbase that was attacked by the u.s. military and he said quote it's all looking a bit too much like colin powell's test tube white powder. will the trump administration produce the evidence that you just referred to? >> first of all, it cracks me up russia can say those twhings a straight face. truly it's amazing they continue to cover for assad. very telling. it's not putting russia in a good light at all in the international community. what we've seen in our meetings this week we were told of the evidence. we saw the evidence. the president saw the evidence. all of that is classified. when you look at director mike pompeo he's been looking at his counterparts and sharing the information he has. the international community has spoken and russia is out there on an island saying assad didn't do it. eve

. >>> nikki haley is speaking right now. let's listen in for just a bit. >> that changed last night. as i warped warned on wednesda the international community fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times when states are compelled to take their own action. the indiscriminate use of we chemical weapons against innocent civilians is one of those times. the united states will not stand by when chemical weapons are used. sit in our security interest to prevent the spread and use of chemical weapons. our military destroyed the airfield from which this week's chemical strike took place. we were fully justified in doing so. the moral stain of the assad regime could no longer go unanswered. his crimes against humanity could no longer be met with empty words. it was time to say, enough. but not only say it, it was time to act. bashar al assad must never use chical weans again ever. now, while the syrian regime is responsible for the chemical weapons' attack, it is not the only guilty party. the iranian government bears a he

. >> meanwhile nikki haley says the u.s. has multiple priorities in syria and one of them political stability is impossible with assad still as president. >> there's not any sort of option where a political solution is going to happen with assad at the head of the regime. if you look at the actions it's hard to see a government that's peaceful and stable with assad. >> haley is calling out russia and -- for support. the warning of tougher sanctions is not off the table. ahead of this, high stakes meeting with rex tillerson and russian ambassador. >> has anything really changed? let's bring in cnn international correspondent ben wedeman. good morning to you. the air base that was bombed is apparently now back in operation, so did these strikes actually create a deterrent or did the mission fail? >> reporter: well, perhaps they did create a deterrent for another chemical strike like we saw last tuesday which left 89 people dead but looking at the bigger picture, it really hasn't changed the reality inside syria. what we have s

the way tillerson put it and then the way haley put it.aid these people have a bit of a problem. >> there seems to be a difference between what ambassador haley is saying as she said last night and what i heard from secretary tillerson. i don't mean to pick a fight with anyone. what i'm telling you is the strategy he seems to be outlining is based on assumptions that aren't going to work. it is no such thing as assad yes but isis no. the thought that you can defeat isis as long as assad is there is not true. as long as bashar al assad is in pow n power in syria, you will have a reason for people to be radicalized in syria. >> if you accept his view and john mccain is in roughly the same camp, that means probably more u.s. boots on the ground at least in the region surrounding it, safe zones along the turkish/syria border. much more heavy investment, potential risk to american forces and american dollars. is this president prepared to do that? >> and is congress prepared to have a voice on this that goes beyond balki beyond talking on a sun

nikki haley gave a total contradict over message. mcmaster tried to say they were the same things but that's not true. what she's saying is the assad regime removal is one of the policies. not the second priority. not after isis. not as some part of cease-fire agreement. those two policies are the basic choice that trump has to make. and it's clear that he hasn't made that choice. but again, it's sort of, like, very confusing not just for people in washington, but for people all over the world who want to know is this strike going to be followed up but a big change in u.s. policy or not. >> jeffrey, why isn't the administration on the same page on this? >> well, one of the things that i'd point out here is that the ambassador to the united states nations, no matter who they are, is to a considerable extent a creature of the state department. you can bet ambassador haley did not say what she said without some consultation with the state department. who said what and who approved what i don't know. i know as a matter of course, that's

i don't know what they're doing right there, clemson and nikki haley. david: the cell busted in u.s. is in north carolina, you might think you're out of harm's way, but you're not, everybody is at risk here, steve, we're about to have a trip by the president to saudi arabia. we don't know when, they're holding that close to the vest because of security concerns. >> it's interesting that we could use part of the islamic world to go against a dangerous part of the islamic world, no? >> absolutely. the saudis and the gulf states are terrified what iran is doing and egypt is in the cross-hairs of iran. iran wants to be the dominant power, if they don't resist they will be vassals of iran. david: even though we may be overwrought about iran. the saudis. >> if the saudis want to fix the problem, allegedly a middle east problem, let them do it why let me stick with it we're worried about it happening here and if they get missile technology and put a nuke on top. they could have it here. >> there's a bigger threat to our well-being is a $4 trillion government.

he seemed to be taunting nikki haley, the u.s. represent there, by saying we're not going to holdup any fophotos, but what about your air strikes and what they've done to children in mosul. and here's the interesting part. he just said we're not the ones afraid of an independent investigation to this chemical attack, you are afraid, the united states is afraid of an independent investigation into this attack. suffice to say that once russia learns the news of what the pentagon is claiming that they mayor may not know about this attack, we will once again have a fairly strong reaction from russia c russia. >> this tense relationship between the u.s. and russias looks like this's going to get a whole lot worse. >> nikki haley is speaking at the u.n. security council on this strike. let's listen. >> have terrorized its own people. it has murdered hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. it has broken international law and violated numerous u.n. resolutions. it has committed criminal acts that shocked the conscience of all humani

ambassador to the united nations nick can i haley during today's u.n.ng the role that the iranians are playing in the continuing conflict here in the middle east. and yesterday the secretary of state rex tillerson, he warned about an unchecked iran. watch this. >> iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and responsible for intensifying multiple conflicts and undermining u.s. interest. in countries such as syria, yemen, iraq, and lebanon and continuing to support attacks against israel. an unchecked iran has the potential to travel the same path as north korea and take the world along with it. >> sean: joining us now with reaction is the president of the jerusalem center for public affairs. he is also the former director general of the ministry of foreign affairs and former u.n. ambassador dordoor dore gold. good to see you. >> good to see you, sean. >> sean: let's get your reaction, once again the united nations constantly anti-american, anti-semitic on display again today. nikki haley tried to drive the discussion back to the number one

and if i could not understand what was being yelled, neither could ambassador haley.from me. and one other thing. to those who heckled ambassador haley, you should be embarrassed. she wasn't a prop. she was there discussing important issues, syria, chemical weapons, south sudan, north korea, and much more. and i'm not suggesting you agree with the ambassador or anyone else, but i know hecklers have never solved world problems. to solve problems, you have to do something. roll up your sleeves and work, and i'd love to ask each heckler, what are you doing to help? anything? i admire those who at least try, not those who simply yell from the sidelines and think they know it all. p.s., ambassador haley was there to answer my questions, not the hecklers'. thank you for watching. i'll see you back here tomorrow night at 6:p.m. eastern. if you can't watch live, set your dvr and follow me on twitter @greta. check out my facebook page for behind the scenes videos. also follow me on instagram. social media is really fun because it gives you a whole background on our show.

but nikki haley, the u.s.mbassador to the united nations has become a prominent face of the trump administration in its first 100 days. one of the most outspoken foreign policy figures defending his world view. cnn jamie is joining me now. you just sad down for a one-on-one interview with nikki haley. fascinating. what did she tell you? >> we talked about a lot of things. we talked about how she grew up in a very small town in south carolina. we talked about her relationship with donald trump, how much they talk to each other. more than you would expect. and about her relationship with secretary of state rex tillerson since she has taken on such a big part of the spotlight. but i think where we really started is that no one expected her to really be the star of this cabinet. >> from condemning the chemical attacks in syria. >> look at those pictures. >> to her aggressive stance on regime change. >> strengthening assad will only lead to more murders. >> u.n. ambassador nikki haley has taken center stage as the

policy was because of the confusion with tillerson versus nikki haley.o diplomacy is the highest form of politics in some way. every word matters. i think you're seeing that fact. lavrov, i think, wanted to point out the fact that the united states had used different words, tillerson, trump, nikki haley. i'm interested to know when you hear this tough talk out of russia. one thing that we know is donald trump believes very strongly in sort of being the tough guy, backing up what he says and with action. so i was in syria last week and throughout the campaign he said to say america isn't feared anymore. we need to be respected and feared at some level and these countries need to know they won't get a free pass when they say and do something. this is a test with a very large country, and someone of geopolitical importance that we can't sort of write off. let's see how the trump policy of i'm going to make good and we're not going to have empty threats and let's see how it works in the face of tough talk from the russians. the answer is we don't know. the t

nikki haley, ambassador haley's speech to the security council was really quite remarkable.s had gotten into business with assathey had to have been fools to do that. i think we have changed the dynamic over there. neil: called them liars. saying that they didn't have chemical weapons. >> extraordinarily harsh. neil: took advantage of institution, united nations avoided u.s. attacks because you said you would and you lied. and that -- >> so i think we're going to see a shift here. this will give a lot of confidence to the sunni-arab states like saudi arabia, egypt, jordan and i think it is more likely because they're going to feel that the united states after eight years of w you drawing from the middle east is back and obviously leading. you're more likely to see a coalition lead by the sunni-arab states to fight isis now in syria, and in iraq. so i think the shift will be towards our allies in the middle east and away from russia. certainly to try to displace iran. neil: you reminded me, sometimes you have to calculate what can't be calculated. you have to send a signal to
