rosen jordan joins me now from the united nations and roslyn is a pale what the puppets of this new group is going to be. mari i'm it's not very clear what the purpose of this group is because even though donald trump campaigned on ending the u.s. as participation in the iran nuclear deal and in terms of that deal trying to negotiate directly with our on on something which he said would be a much better deal one that would guarantee the safety of the united states and its allies so far the trumpet ministration has not put forward any serious effort serious by way of terms of action to try to negotiate a new deal with iran and certainly a lot of the things that were alluded to during thursday's press briefing are things that already the ministration and the obama administration before it could and have been doing issuing sanctions against persons who are violating international law sanctions regimes issuing executive orders curt tailing a person is a company's behavior in the united states with their counterparts in iran so it's not really clear what this whole of government effort to will

us on the brink of starvation coming all the while jazeera djibouti we cannot deny get more from roslyn jordan who is at the united nations there was land that meetings ended what's come out of it did you know we heard from the u.k. ambassador to the u.n. karen pierce who is acting as the president of the security council for this month she read out what's known as a press statement under an agreement agreed sort of comments by the members of the security council to reporters waiting outside the security council chamber this is essentially what karen pierce the u.k. ambassador had to say. i think as with all these things the important thing is the word credible if there is an acceptable credible investigation then the council will want to consider next steps in the light of that if any investigation held is not credible the council will obviously want to review that and want to review if more is necessary. so what happens now is there any clear line of action. well there isn't a clear line of action and certainly the point that reporters were raising with ambassador piers one thing that

roslyn carter and mental health. it was completely overturned in the next administration by reagan and congress, et cetera. but she really wanted to see mental health be better in this country. i think people remember that about her. >> i heard last night about betty ford. >> yes, her openness, exactly. not only about breast cancer but mental health herself, later, when she was struggling with alcoholism. so it is interesting, isn't it. i hope the current first lady will use her platform for good, because it is a really powerful one. not all first ladies have taken advantage. we were talking a lot in the last session about truman and the good things he did. sadly, bess didn't really do a whole lot. it's too bad. i think mostly she wanted to be back in independence. in the recent years i've mentioned ellen wilson, of course florence, who i would say at least made the cracks in the mold that eleanor roosevelt broke. let's remember that about florence. she really did make some interesting changes. i did want to get back
