u.n. correspondent rose and jordan has more on that. as you'd expect donald trump and benjamin netanyahu were very happy to see each other on monday on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly both men agreed that in their view the iran nuclear deal was a bad deal and should be renegotiated and at the very least that iran can't be trusted to hold up its end of the deal as for the trumpet ministrations efforts to try to broker peace between the israelis and the palestinians the president had this to say actually think with the capability. and frankly i think we have to say that if you are like i think the palestinians would like to see it and i could tell you that ministration would like to see it so we're working very hard in a to see what happens. it's likely that both men will try to touch on the issue of the iran nuclear deal during their addresses to the u.n. general assembly on tuesday it's also very likely that they will try to talk about the mideast peace process but their first concern is international peace and security namely that of israel and so of co

"trump's fighting talk at the u.n.." course, beenve, of dissecting that speech. w york times, "trump's importance of sovereignty definitely sets him apart from his forbearers, who set up the u.n. and, post-world war ii, works through global problems together as one. this piece is most concerned trump'sat it calls " slightly selective definition of sovereignty. " international players like russia got off scott free, despite russia annexing crimea and its neighbor, the ukraine. the washington post cartoon illustrates all this. trump has all of the grandstanding of the roman emperor, and the bravado of a peacock. he is fundamentally blind to his own inconsistencies and her receipthe -- and upon -- and hypocrisies. -- >> and there are feminist battles playing out across france. >> this could face men -- seamen facing prosecution for persistent unwanted sexual advances. we read that belgium, portugal, and the u.k. all have similar legislation, and as a dance in france, there is a legislative void between consensual production and sexual assault, which is an offense. in

as president donald trump made an explosive debut at the u.n. general assembly stepping up pressure on north korea trying to threaten to totally destroy the country if it threatens the u.s. or its allies also took aim at the iran nuclear deal accusing tehran of funding terrorism and stabilizing the middle east for this he received praise from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu but trump faced opposition from france president manuel mccall defended the nuclear deal he also stood up for the international climate accord despite trump's decision to withdraw from the agreement for the coolness of the when he goes he that agreement is not up for negotiation it binds us together taking it apart would mean taking apart a pact but it is not just between states but also between generation yes i fully respect the decision of the united states but the door will always be open or diplomatic editor james space has more from the united nations. donald trump is the thirteenth u.s. president to come here to address the u.n. and with the north korea crisis

u.n. bashing trump had done during the campaign where he famously said the u.n. e enemy of freedom and democracy. i thought the speech was pretty mainstream for donald trump. he even said that the dues we pay which are disproportionate would be worth it if the united nations lives up to its potential. he talked about the marshall plan. that was about the most nonnationals program you can think of. he i think stayed within the mainstream of foreign policy. the big takeaways were what sounded like laying the predicate to get out of the iran nuclear deal. >> bret: laura. >> i think people who last week were concerned donald trump was straying from his conservative populist nationalist stance on issues would hear this speech today and think wow. he invoked sovereignty and the nation-state so many times in this speech while he also continued to remind the world that a weekend america would not be helpful on the world stage. at the same time, the u.n. question, he slammed the u.n. human rights commission and how it had become a laughingstock not living up to the ideals

remind you we're discussing donald trump's u.n. speech. john let me go back to you in paris you know being outside of the washington bubble i mean for me obviously in some ways if you will sort of saw how trump started his speech he would look like an election rally i mean he's used to it you know what he's achieved g.d.p. very big the usual mantra of things kind of odd for a speech like that and he was speaking to his base but you know i have to we know it looking at video footage of his speech of the audience people were gasping i mean the credibility of the united states is it's quite precarious for a lot of people the world already now it really plummets because you know like i said with this man man an analogy you know i mean what can you trust the united states to keep agreements can you trust the united states to go into negotiations fairly i think that it was a question before now it is a huge question mark all over the place go ahead and paris. but you see. i mean my problem is fairly we deal with establishment as a whole and that

or trump has railed against the u.n. many times in the past suggesting it's inefficient and bloated at times this transactional america first president that seemed to question the entire international system the six sisters since the un was set up at the end of world war two ahead of the meeting there was some unease about what this unpredictable president might say but he only seemed concerned about how the microphones worked his way to the assault result. when trump finally spoke there would have been a big sigh of relief felt across the united nations he now seems to be a fan of the organization. mr secretary general of the united states and the member states presenter their support for this great reform vision we pledge to be partners in your work and i am confident that if we work together and champion truly bold reforms the united nations will emerge as a stronger more effective more just and greater force for peace and harmony in the world so instead of declaring war on the u.n. trump seems already to be declaring

u.n. particularly with regards to the response to north korea. trump administration needs and needed the u.n. to get through these penalties, economic sanctions, not as strong as they wanted but needed them. >> i have to think tomorrow it is more formal. this is about efficiency and the real mission, national security priorities, et cetera. but trump being trump, of course in his comments has to make a reference to a trump tower across the street from the u.n. as a -- as an example of the success of the u.n. -- >> let me read that. i'm glad you brought that up. he talked about success and things changing and getting better at the u.n. then he said, i actually saw great potential right across the street, of course right across the street is trump world tower on united nations plaza, a huge building here in new york. he said it turned out to be a very successful project due to its proximity to the united nations. nia malik henderson, a bit of a backstory to this also? >> i mean, i think sort of the context for this is in many ways this is trump's approac

address the general assembl assembly. >> jon: as we just mentioned, another big focus of president trump's u.nspeech, north korea. mr. trump vowing to "totally destroy" that rogue regime if pyongyang refuses to back down from its nuclear threats. the president even walking kim jong un as "rocket man." all as the delegation walked wad from front row seats. >> it is a little bit too late here in south korea for most people to watch that speech real-time, president trump saying that the u.s. would destroy north korea if north korea threatened it or its allies. we did reach one analyst, her words were strong words. she also said the president was playing "a diplomatic game of chicken. kim jong un and his team, one analyst tells us this kind of talk is sure to get kim jong un's attention. while both sides talk and play with war, others are practicing. take a look at what we saw. >> u.s. and south korean forces taking over a bock town, this is an exercise with a difference. 12 miles away, the heavily fortified beyond north korea. this is just an exercise. if it was a real thing they could be danglin

and the big question is, will trump insult the u.n. or try to make friends at the u.n.? real estate mogul has not always embraced the u.n. nearly five years ago he tweeted, the cheap 12-inch marble tiles behind the speaker at the u.n. always bothered me. i will replace with beautiful, large marble slabs if they ask me. he was more conciliatory in april. >> i have long felt the united nations is an underperformer but has tremendous potential. >> reporter: president trump will speak to the entire world for the first time from here at the general assembly rostrum. the leader who vowed fire and fury if kim jong un threatens the oust will be closer to north koreans than he ever has been go his life. the north korean delegation will be seated here in the front row, 20 feet away from where president trump speaks to the general assembly. there have been memorable speeches. gaddafi, achavez warned that th devil had been there in the form of president bush. >> you're going to have the president that has gone against isis in syria and iraq at record pace. >> reporter: other first-t
