this u.n. document is a lot of fluffy, flowery language that is not going to promote and protect the people's rights. >> where do you stand in trying to get your voice heard, and what do you see coming out of the conference? >> this document is done. we are there to sit and watch. it will be frustrating. we need to look at the next steps - how the u.n. can help in implementing the u.n. declaration, and how do we get it in the domestic legislation of every state that is a member of the u.n., with full and effective, and protection of our lands, resources and water. many said indigenous people are on the front line of protecting the land and the environment. we don't want words, we want action, and this conference falls short of it. >> in addition to climate change, also on the agenda at the u.n. secretary general assembly - i.s.i.l. of the u.s. says it's forming an international coalition to take on the threat. randall pinkston reports the involvement of one country is raising eyebrows in leavin

for u.n.it is the highlight of the year but it's also fair to ask how much attention anyone outside the world body pays attention to these speeches. as always, these speakers will focus on the main issues that are facing syria and the rest of the world. the ebola crisis and syria's refugee crisis. looking ahead, many believe the u.n. needs to broaden its mandate. but a perennial question remains, ask there too much bureaucracy, do smaller countries have too much power? joining me, is corin ross, the executive director of the independent diplomat and a former diplomat of the united nations. and in washington, d.c. we're joined by michael schroeder at american university. >> thanks for having me. >> gentlemen a broad question. how would you define the u.n. mission today? >> i think that's a broad question, almost impossible to answer. what i look for is peace and security and stopping wars. of course the u.n.'s record in that is deeply imperfect as we see today. but i think the truism is as true

a u.n.kesperson has described the forcible eviction and relocation of communities as a stake through the heart of the two-state solution and the building of settlements here will split the west bank in two and make jerusalem inaccessible to thousands of palestinians. on friday, palestinian president mahmoud abbas will make a speech to the united nations general assembly. he's expected to outline a new proposal for the creation of the palestinian state. and to ask the u.n. to use its authority to set a timetable for israel to end it's occupation of palestinian territory. that mean the end of illegal settlements in the west bank and potentially give palestinian is off at this overland seized by israel during the 1967 war. >> just like if the palestinians don't like it when israel take unilateral steps israelis don't like it when they do it going to the united nations to artificially draw a border. it's just a big joke. >> reporter: for for this man and his family, losing their home is no laugh

the u.n.oy explained why the talks have failed. >> translator: i had talks over the last two days here. i tried to bridge the gap on a number of issues. they agreed on a number of points to create an agreement based on the result of the national dialogue. then i found the situation in sana'a has deteriorated. it's unfortunate arms have been used at a time when we are trying our best to reach a peaceful solution to this process. >> we're joined now via skype from sana'a. it sounds like there has been a pretty rapid escalation of violence there in the capitol, what can you tell us. >> the affirmation have an richeted up in the last 24 hours. [ inaudible ] entire area of north sana'a is under houthi control, with thousands of families evacuating the areas, and even government check points leaving their posts. and the government is trying to weaken the movement by conducting continuous air strikes. but it appears it has not been enough to halt the houthi. >> the line is not too clear, but we're go

obama is traveling to the u.n. today. it seems to tell to the world that the united nations is irrelevant. nobody discusses the united nations involving bombing somebody's country. and you -- and obama is coming now. it is not wise. saying thator me is the u.n. does not matter anymore. want to bomble countries -- for me the timing is a signal saying that no matter what, the u.n. becomes irrelevant. more on that united nations meeting later today. we will be joined by jay solomon . we want to take a look at a tweet this morning. a statement from the chairman of the house armed services committee. mckean writes that the men and women in our uniform once again striking at the enemy. this is one step in what will be a long's i against i sell. partner, arrelation capable military and a clear mission. it is a fight we can win. that is the committee chairman mckeon. he is on the committee that lawmakers passed last week. our next call this morning comes from north carolina. john on the republican line. caller: i was calling to m

the u.n.eneral assembly he's now reconvening lawmakers later this week to get their approval on those iraqi air strikes. that vote is expected to pass but there are some limitations, like i said, these would be limited to iraq only and that's because the country has formally requested london's help. syria hasn't done that so this does not apply to air strikes in syria. in addition the british parliament rejected plans to attack syria last year. >> do we have a clear basis in international law for action and we have a need to act in our own national interest to protect our people and our society. so it is right that britain should now move to a new phase of action. i am, therefore, recalling the british parliament on friday to secure approval for the united kingdom to take part in international air strikes against isil in iraq. >> let's talk more in depth about mr. cameron's comments in this upcoming debris in parliament. we'll bring in erin mclaughlin. good morning to you. david cameron taking

what do we expect to hear be the u.n. chairing a security council meeting and what will this mean for his presidency moving forward? >> well, i think we're going to hear from the president in a short time from now. he's going to lay out what we heard from the last speech, almost two weeks ago, where he said he was willing to go into syria. talk about what the danger is, both with isis and with other extremist groups in that region. and obviously this is a major sea change for him. the message that the white house wants to put out this morning, luke, is this. he had said very consistently, the president had from the time that he was in the nato meeting and this coalition was first being form that had the united states would not go it alone. we heard samantha power saying when we do air strikes in syria, it will not be alone. they wanted to send a message saying this is isis at war with the world. and the u.s. is responding. and these five countries who got involved is unprecedented. they think they can take this moving for

u.n. system makes an effective and coordinated contribution immediately to the global effort to control the outbreak. we recognize this as an unprecedented challenge that requires an equally unprecedented response, and australia therefore welcomes and supports the secretary-general's initiative to immediately establish the first ever u.n. international public health mission. u.n. peacekeeping missions in particular can support efforts to combat the outbreak. as far as capacities and mandates allow. we know peacekeepers cannot be transformed into front-line health care workers but they can play a crucial role to communicate a bowl of preventive the public and importantly to dispel fear and misinformation. u.n. mission support and maintenance of law and order of the also have logistical and organizational capabilities which are desperately needed. madam president, the blanket border and travel restrictions being imposed across the region to contain the outbreak are as we for having a paradox

(laughter) >> when the united nations member states are united, united nations should be united. >> jon: right. >> but there are some cases that the member states are not united and divided. in such case we have a serious problem, as we are seeing in syria. but when there is a unity of opinion and position, we can address all these issues. this is the unspeakable terrorist attacks, and crimes which are now being committed in iraq and syria, and elsewhere. i think we have to unite and we have to show strong sol dar-- solidarity. that's what i'm saying, that all the countries, whoever may have capacity, or influence, should bring it. >> jon: that brings up a good point. so syria, clearly gassing nair own people, terrible devastation, they're bombing. but the security coun
