you the other very important development in the past few minutes news from the united nations, an announcement to the u.nsecurity council that for the first time, the u.n. has air dropped aid to daraa, the place where they can't get aid in by land, because it is effectively besieged by isil. 21 tons of aid have been delivered to daraa. that is an important development. but also at the same meeting, we have stringing criticism of the syrian government from steven o'brien, the humanitarian chief of the united nations, who said that they put in place lots of bureaucratic complexities. he described them as staggering, which are making it very, hard to get the aid to the besieged areas by the government. and they said the humanitarian situation in syria is not as bad as it is in yemen. and he said the aid wasn't getting there because of what he described as terrorists, and then he added have you ever seen a starving terrorist. so only interesting language on this humanitarian picture. there is, in the wings, i think, potentially another part of what is going on here at the united nations, we're getting word t

we should go to the united nations first, and assume that the russians will veto any kind of u.n. urity council resolution. what is the function of united nations at this point if it's simply to sit by and watch idly while hundreds of thousands of people die and starve to death? so what is the u.n. doing? the answer is not very much at this point. so we need to convey that the united nations, if it does not take action, nato takes action, because nato is going to be destabilized with all of these hundreds of thousands of people fleeing syria, coming into europe, some of which contain some terrorist groups, to be sure, and so we've got a nato problem now, and it should be nato taking the sanctions, which include turkey and other countries, but especially since saudi arabia has pledged to put some ground troops in, uae has pledged to join the fight, there has to be an arab face on this, but we have to take a leadership role, as well. the united states has just proposed a budget of some $7 billion increase for fighting isil. so, it's one thing to say we've got the money. but where's t

the united nations and it's interesting if there was a meeting on friday, a similar meeting in the same room, the syrian government delegation didn't speak to reporters and i suspect because the u.nhem not to here in the united nations where the talks are supposed to take place. another interesting point on this is the meeting got underway an hour ago without one of the members of the delegation we were told was likely to be there, mohamed who is one of the commanders on the ground in syria who is here and was supposed to be their chief negotiator. he we are told was coming to this meeting. we understand now that he has finally landed in geneva but he is not here yet and i think it's probably unlikely she going to make it in time for this particular meeting. he is a controversial figure because he represents one of the biggest armed groups russia says that people like that shouldn't be involved in these sort of negotiations but i think his arrival is quite pivotal because the armed groups in many ways are among the opposition are those that are most unhappy about this process. so i think having him here will be important. >> and james obviously the humanitarian situation in syria
