i'm going to bring in our richard roth from the u.n. now. before the russian and american ambassadors spoke we saw the ukraine ambassador, yur yuri surgeyev speak as well. he said they want peace restored threatened by russia's intervention. he also mentioned his interest in having international monitors on the ground there, something that ambassador power mentioned. do you see, richard that, those efforts that planning is under way already to bring as ambassador power said a mediation mission, the possibility of monitors? how far along is that option or is it still just in discussion? >> reporter: that could be in discussion. we now know that secretary general ban ki-moon of the u.n. has spoken with putin of russia in the last hour or so. we're awaiting details on that conversation. i don't want to guess, but we could see some early feelers regarding the idea of monitors or any type of discussions. this is where the u.n. comes into play. you've got two differing sides. the u.n. can be the honest broker to try to set up something. as you men

let's bring in our united nations correspondent richard roth. richard, you're over at the u.n., as we have been pointing out, ban ki-moon can make all sorts of statements, the u.n. security council can -- there's a limit to what actually is going to emerge other than a few statements. >> russia would certainly block any significant action by the u.n. security council however they did meet, russian met the u.n. security council yesterday, despite what they could say publicly to the press, and we don't know what goes on behind closed doors. they're meeting here on saturday in an urgent session, ban ki-moon has issued statements on concern on many countries in crisis over his six year office. there may be an open formal meeting where there could be angry opening speeches. the first meeting will be closed doors here at the united nations. there are articles in the u.n. charter that say that the u.n. security council has the right to get involved when international peace and security is threatened. this is at the heart of what the u.n. was originally

correspondent, richard roth. what are you learning about what happened, richard?wolf, robert serry, u.n. envoy for ukraine, appears to be a wanted or hounded man right now on the streets of crimea. he had recently arrived there following a logistical problem several days ago to get there. and he visited a naval base, according to senior u.n. officials, and then upon exiting that area, seemingly alone, with no security, armed men, 10 to 15 in number, some wearing military fatigues, surrounded him, and told him he had to leave the country, the area, immediately and go to the airport. he sat in his car, he refused to go to the airport. they blocked the car. he eventually exited, walked the streets, got to a coffee shop, called u.n. deputy secretary general jan eliasson and told him of the situation. he was described by eliasson as shaken up. there are media reports that he is blockaded and not able to leave. the u.n. has not given any information on the level of the threat. this may be the best place for him to simply hang out. there are reports that he was ending hi

we have our own richard roth who is at the u.n. for us today. richard, what can you tell us now as that u.n. security council emergency meeting has broken up? >> reporter: as we've seen before, this is sort of the post-fight analysis. you might say the spin room. the ukranian ambassador is now addressing the press corps here at the u.n. to give him interpretation of what happened in the chamber. i think he said the russian ambassador churkin was cold-hearted in his remarks regarding the situation. we may likely see other ambassadors to follow him. the security council of course has this dilemma. look, some aspects of successful crisis solving over the decades have been diplomacy backed by the threat of force. but there's no appetite for that. and it doesn't appear there's going to be any ooh type of military showdown. they can only hope here diplomatically to work out some type of new arrangement as you mentioned with your other guest regarding a unity government or some type of monitors that are there. the u.n. would be the seal of approval, the

so whether this was -- and this is courtesy, by the way of richard roth, giving us this information via the deputy secretary general, who is in kiev right now. again, robert serry, u.n. envoy to the ukraine, threatened, intimidated, possibly an attempted kidnapping. he is okay, as we are led to understand at this point and is not in the custody of anyone but those who are allies and friends. >>> russia's president threatening to seize the assets of american companies if america does what it says it might do. sanctions. we're talking about some of the world's biggest name brands like pepsi and exxon and gm, general motors. just ahead, we're going to talk about what this means to the world economy, and then right down to your bottom line, as well. credit christine row mondays is coming up next. up. testify up your game. up the ante. and if you stumble, you get back up. up isn't easy, and we ought to know. we're in the business of up. everyday delta flies a quarter of million people while investing billions improving everything from booking to baggage claim. we're raising the bar on flying

correspondent richard roth and elise labot are join joining me now. and now, richard, we are hearing different events from the russian ambassador and crimean ambassador, and just as we are hearing from president obama and president putin, and can you explain the differences and how to bring the two sides together? >> well, it is not imminent, and the meeting is over, and ambassador turchynov did not stick around and saying that the meeting they had in front of the cameras, formally, they said that the president did not respond favorably to priji inbr the gap. and the president of the council said that there was a general discussion of solutions, but those divisions still continue behind closed doors after the fiery remarks from russian ambassador turchynov. he said that the country was under attack by the russian, and the russian ambassador scoffed saying that they were stirring up much of the trouble. there is not any agreement at this point. ban ki-moon, the u.n. secretary-general spoke with russian leader putin by phone, and the secretary-general sa

richard roth is live for us now at the united nations. richard, what happened?ty council resolution that would have declared the the crimea referendum on sunday illegitimate, invalid. there was just a very fierce war of words which is going on right now. it's almost like 1961. u.s. ambassador samantha power given russian ambassador a history lesson in the way washington sees things after ambassador churken of russia, after his veto, he spoke before the veto, laid out a case why crimea used to be a part of russia and should legally be a part of russia and not ukraine. this resolution is now dead. this is a seventh meeting of the security council since this crisis started. a very large number of sessions as much of the world here tries to highlight how russia is isolated. china which usually votes with moscow abstained. on the syria crisis china has veto'd several resolutions along with russia. this time it abstain. the key frais phrase about the u.n. and charter and territorial integrity must be respected. china is always concerned about that phrasing. so it went
