the kind of work that only richard holbrooke was capable of, and it was jawboning with the membership with the secretariat, working hard with the congress like ms. power bringing the security council down to visit the senate which i think was a very, very good idea. i think it would be a good -- and i'm sure you imparent ted t message to them when you met with them and those are the right people to pass that message to. i think it just requires an intensive diplomatic effort with these countries to try and correct that situation. i'm pleased we have a 22% assessment for the general assessment for the u.n. holbro holbrooke left that issue somewhat unresolved it was 26 point something other and it's gone up a percent or two since he's reached his agreement. but i think we got to work that one really hard. what i'd hate to see happen the arrears become so large that then it becomes some kind of a crisis situation with regard to whether or not we're going to continue our support or -- which would undermine our support for the united nations and that's the danger that i think you're descri

holbrooke left that issue somewhat unresolved.'s gone up a percentage point or two since he reached his agreement. but i think we have just got to work that one really hard. and what i'd hate to see happen is that the arrears become so large that then it becomes some kind of a crisis situation with regard to whether or not we're going to continue our support or -- which would undermine support for united nations and that's the danger that i think you're describing. >> absolutely. >> i don't have much to add. i would just add one point of context which is sort of ironical. we spend a lot of few years talking about a united states in the decline, you know, relative decline in the united states, all this kind of stuff, the rising powers. i profoundly disagree with that underlying notion and in this case looking at the scales of assessment it was about 30% in the height and declined to 25% as we made continual progress to bring the scale of assessment in line with the world gdp and gone up over three years to 28% since the global fina

the formula would have us pay anna higher rate if not for the cap that investor holbrook secured 15 years ago. the one thing i want to stress is that our emphasis is on ensuring that countries contributing to more and more of the global economy are paying more of their share and we are in the midst of skilled negotiations now on the peacekeeping budget. on emphasis has been ensuring countries who see -- you can see the economic growth but not the correlation in terms of their contribution. the chinese contribution has more than doubled in 10 years and we can anticipate such -- that the chinese share will be up around 10%. similarly, the russian contribution has doubled. >> we should point out that china is still about one fourth of the noted states and russia is 1/8 of the united states. capeems to us that the 22% we understand. it was well deserved. like the united nations is equalizing through the peacekeeping percentage and the 22% cap is being violated because of our higher contributions to the peacekeeping efforts. i urge you that the more transparent this process the better it will

holbrook, pittsburgh, you could see a couple of inches of snow out of this system. meanwhile, it's mostly just rain everywhere else, it goes to scattered showers tomorrow afternoon. so the most rain during the morning hours tomorrow and then scattered showers tomorrow afternoon. here is a look how much could afternoon, just in northern new hampshire. we skip ahead after a sunny monday, things look pretty good then to another system moving in late monday night into early tuesday morning, and initially, that one looks to come in as snow as well. what's happening is an area of low pressure moves up to our west, and it spurs a new storm. this spawns up to our south as a classic winter time systems often do, transfers all the energy to this one, which then grows and starts to get the winds out of the north and northeast and that could mean some snow here. even in southern parts of the state, you could see some accumulating snow for a while before any changeover on tuesday. we'll watch that closely, but several inches are possible, maybe could say likely on tuesday, so be

an suv ended up on its side near the entrance to sunrise highway in holbrook. polito have not said if anyone was hurt. >>> right now we want to check in with lauren for a look at the roads. >>> it's a slow ride with a couple things in your way. coming off the gwb, express lanes outbound, there is a disabled truck causing delays. in new jersey city, truck route 1 and 9 shut down both directions at duncan avenue with an accident investigation. and still an accident out on the turnpike heading southbound in the car lanes just before exit 8a. you can see it's one slow ride through there as well. back to you, michael. thanks so muc..m>>> a wintry mix to the north the coast. it clears up by the afternoon. we're going to get up to 49. tonight, partly cloudy, 42. tomorrow, though, some clouds, 51, though a chance for a late shower. >>> coming up on the "today" show, how to host a new year's enjoy. other local updates coming up in aas half hour. >>> it's 8:00 on "today." coming up, oprah gets candid. >> inside every overweight woman is a woman she knows she can be. >> t

richard holbrooke went around with a team, did the negotiations, shuttled diplomacy step by step. then we worked the details. after we had the cease-fire and agreement on the politics, we put the nato troops in. it was successful. no two cases are going to be alike. in this case, what we have to do is we have to bring all the parties who can fight against isis together first and then fight against isis. that means we have to reach some accommodation between iran's views, turkey's views, saudi arabia's views and then pull those fighters together with resources against isis and get isis off the map. >> president obama has said that isis is contained. not in terms of ideology but in terms of territory. then just today, this morning, we heard that isis is taking root in libya. iscontained in terms of territory? >> i think it's a mistake to have an adjective on it like this. the truth is isis it a threat. isis has tentacles everywhere. it's fighting and struggling in syria. it is reaching out. it's consolidating its grip on parts of libya. when you look at its reach into france and wha

the kind of work that only richard holbrooke was capable of and it was jawboning with the membership, with the secretariat, working hard with the congress, like ms. power bring it is a good council down to visit the senate, which i think was a very, very good idea and i think it would come and i'm sure you imported this message to them when you met with him. and that's how those are the right people to ask that message to. i think it just requires an intensive diplomatic effort with these countries to try and correct that situation. i'm pleased we have a 22% assessment for the general assessment for the u.n. holbrooke that the issue somewhat resolved if our member correctly it was 26-point something an outcome of a percentage point or two since he reached his agreement. i think we'r we've just got to k that one really hard. and what i would hate to see happen is that the readers become so large that it becomes some kind of a crisis situation -- our readers -- with regards to whether or not we're going to continue our support or, which would undermine our spoke with united nations and
