>> now, a couple other key points here from the united nations. number one, will the security council be needing to take up this issue of the downing of the russian plane. the short answer is no, not right now. that's what we heard from matthew rye croft, the u.k. ambassador to the u.n. who is currently the president of the security council this month. he said that the council is prepared to meet on this, but they need to have a request from a member state, and so far they've had not had that. we did ask the russian ambassadors who is going into a meeting if russia planned to ask the security council for a meeting. he simply said we're not quite sure yet. beyond that, also on tuesday, turkey september this letter to the security council president as well as ban ki-moon, and outlines what turkey said are the facts of the sways as they see it with the downing of the russian plane. they said some of this we already know, but it's important to repeat again what russia or i'm sorry, what turkey i is telling the u.n.

the united nations continues to reach millions of people in need through all modalities. n the past month the united nations delivered water, sanitation and hygiene to three and a half million and medicine and supplies for 717,000 treatments. and they are deeply humbling, particularly volunteers who are often the first responders on these front lines. that includes across conflict lines and borders in order to reach people in need in syria wherever they may be found. this resolution has made a difference by reaching some people in need. this complements the crucial work of international nongovernment access the continued to provide large-scale assistance across the country and we remain committed to reaching all those in need and that includes every and any route possible to do this. the status quo simply cannot continue in syria. we have seen devastating consequences. the people of syria deserve more, they deserve it and to this senseless violence. the recent international talks provided a glimmer of life and we must take advantage of this rare moment of diplomatic opport

nation three interrelated goals. we begin with daesh. some 14 months ago, the president made it clear that the united states was committed to the defeat and dismantlement of this terrorist organization. and over the last month, he has directed every member of his national security team to pick up the pace and move forward with ideas for degrading and defeating daesh more rapidly, more completely, and permanently. second, we are intensifying our diplomatic effort to finally bring an end to the civil war in syria. and third, we are determined to support our friends in the region, and to ensure that the instability created by the syrian crisis does not spread further beyond its borders. now, these measures are mutually reinforcing. the more progress we make on one, the more likely we are to succeed on the others. president obama has made his view clear that the crisis in syria cannot be resolved militarily, and that remains the case. but it's also clear that the chance for successful diplomacy depends, in part, on the ability to exert leverage, on control of territory, on perceptions about who is gaining or has the upper hand. that's why it
