u.n. security council. any examination, any war crimes charge and there it looks like one of the five powers that can veto china would probably veto an effort if they felt this was against north korea's interests. that's happened before, and that is a dilemma, a potential veto by china while the united states, britain, france and possibly russia, the other four powers that have veto on the security council, the permanent members, would want to push it. china is the key player, once again, as it pertains to north korea. at some point you have to wonder whether the alliance can hold. as you go through this, it's horrific. it's murder, rape, torture, slavery, and specific examples of a woman made it drown her own baby. people imprisoned and tortured for watching a soap opera. children in prison and starved from birth. in the light of all that. do you think this will change anything? >> north korea has not followed international norms. they are unpredictable. possibly. kim jong un, the new leader sees this and

u.n. security council resolution. so it is true that in these first six months we have not shut down all of their production of a ballistic missile that could have anything to do with the delivery of a nuclear weapon. but that is indeed going to be part of something that has to be addressed as part of a conference of agreement. secondly, i would say to you, senator, that if we are successful in assuring ourselves and the world community that iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon, cannot obtain a nuclear weapon, then them not having a nuclear weapon makes delivery systems almost, not entirely, but almost irrelevant. >> let me ask this question. i think most neutral observers which state that all we have really done since they are not dismantling as both the president and foreign minister has made real clear they're not dismantling, so in essence what you've done in this interim deal is you've given us 30 days additional time for breakdown. 30 days. and yet they've got a year, a year, too, probably longer candidly, to dev

u.n. security council. but russia has still always claimed that there's no evidence that iran is time to develop a nuclear weapons capability, and i think some cynics have said russia would mind if the u.s.-israeli attack on iran because oil prices would go up and this would be good for russia. i don't believe that. there maybe some people think they. i think the russian government doesn't want to see a military attack on iran because again that would have repercussions in russia's own neighborhood in the north caucasus. it would fuel islamist sentiment. it would cause unrest and a great deal of unrest in the neighborhood. i think right now the u.s. and russia are outlined because at the moment we have what looks like a relatively promising agreement between the p5+1 powers, the u.n. security council, the germans, the iranians to walk back on the enrichment facilities and for iran to promise that it won't go down increasing the capability. if that agreement works and if we get to the next stage, then i woul

u.n. security council told syria's assad dictatorship to speed up the removal of its chemical weapons. syria missed a deadline yesterday and has turned over less than 5% of its most-dangerous chemicals. last summer, the regime promised to give up the weapons to avoid a u.s. military strike after it attacked civilians with poison gas in two downs near damascus. 1400 civilian were killed. there were survivors, and margaret brennan met one of them in washington. >> so we started feeling dizzy. heba sewan is lucky to be alive. when a rocket filled with serran gas landed in her neighborhood, the wind carried most of the poison gas away from her apartment. the chemicals? >> physically, no. but mentally and psyche lodgeically, yes. >> reporter: she rushed to a nearby field hospital. >> crowded with people on the floor, people trying to help, shouting, people running back and forth, and it was like-- i can't describe it. it's horror. their bodies start to make, like, something came out from their noses, from their ears. it's like blood was-- i don't know. and then we have to bury them all. >>

u.n. security council can agree to. russia and china for the past few years really have prevented the security council from passing any resolutions that have anything to do with syria. they had previously vetoed three other resolutions condemning the assad regime and also threatening it with sanctions. but as the three-year-long bloody civil war rages on, the u.n. security council passed unanimously a resolution to boost aid to syria, in a surprising move both russia and china voted in favor of the motion. today's resolution demands that all groups in syria allow humanitarian aid everywhere in the war-torn country, but it does nothing really to stop the violence. the u.n. says 9 million people there are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. and more than 140,000 have actually been killed in the past three years. now, international efforts so far to forge a cease-fire have repeatedly failed. the latest peace talks just collapsed just about a week or so ago. and both rebels and the assad regime blame the other side

u.n. security councils, can act on security throughout the world for freedom, democracy, the rule of law.s is precisely what france did, with the help of our american friends in mali. in order to make it possible for mali to recover its territorielial integrity, this operation was successful. and it was only successful because a decision was made by the international community. it was successful because americans took part, and because europeans helped, as well as americans, who also gave their support. and a president has now been elected in mali, and the malian state has now found its authority again. we also were in the central african republic in a completely different context, admittedly. but the idea was to prevent what could have been a humanitarian disaster. there had been already brutal actions that affected a population that was already suffering a great deal. they have islands every day, clashes every day. but france does what it can with the help of other european nations and with the help of americans. and this bears witness to an exceptional situation in our history, because
