had no right to keep hold of chagos, that it was violating international law and, in may, the un general assemblyto hand the islands over to mauritius. today, britain's response was short and defiant. the foreign office said, "the british indian 0cean territory", as the chagos islands are officially known, "has been under british sovereignty since 1814 and the uk does not recognise mauritius‘ claim the islands". but this morning, the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, flatly contradicted that, saying that if he becomes prime minister he will hand the islands back to mauritius. yes, absolutely, i have been involved in the chagos campaign for a very long time. what happened to the chagos islanders was utterly disgraceful, forcibly removed from their own islands, unfortunately by this country. they need a full apology, they need adequate compensation, they've had some, but i don't believe it is sufficient, and i believe the right of return to those islands is absolutely important. in mauritius today, a small demonstration by chagosians. they are demanding the right to return to their island home and the

days before the start of the un assembly and the issues were not just about benghazi, they were about the attacks on the facilities around the world in the upcoming un general assembly meaning in iran and prime minister of israel to the un. there was a bunch of issues that were beyond benghazi that were in my house. but what i think was my mistake and i'm quite candid about in the book, my disposition and instinct is when i'm on a team and the leader of the team, in this case the white house asked me too do something, i typically want to say yes, i did not think i was incapable of doing this job any differently than anybody else. and i said yes. and what i rely subsequently is the other of my colleagues were keeping their heads down because they understood that often in a crisis situation that is inevitably going to become politicized that the messenger, not just the message gets attacked. >> i learned that the hard way. >> we have a lot to cover in limited time you went on to become secretary of state in the description of the job. most days the job of national security advisor seems infinite it feels like a huge slab of concrete constantly resting on one'

. >> reporter: when brazil's president attended a un general assembly in late september he was recovering from surgery, only on the ground for 30 hours. he didn't meet with any heads of state. he did, however, meet with rudy giuliani. it's a prime example of how giuliani's position as president trump's pro bono lawyer has given him access to foreign leaders and how the leaders treat him as a representative of the president. a cnn review finds giuliani has met or communicated with top government officials of at least 7 countries since becoming trump's attorney. his actions so troubling sources inside the u.s. state department tell cnn they tracked giuliani's comments which sometimes contradict u.s. policy. >> there are those in the state department and the professional national security apparatus who have viewed giuliani as a shadow secretary of state. >> reporter: giuliani left public office as new york's mayor in 2001. since then he's made millions in speaking fees and security and safety consulting contracts all over the globe. but being associated with donald trump has opened new doors

all this started at the un general assembly when trump snubbed erdogan completely. erdogan insisted on having a phone call. erdogan insisted on having a phone call, and in that phone call said i'm going to invade northern syria and you can't do anything about it. and trump said, okay. and he's been trying to make up for that disastrous decision ever since. >> there you are in europe where we just marked the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall. give us a status report on what trump and the trump presidency has done to the atlantic alliance and what has become of the u.s.-russia relationship. >> well, you have to remember that the atlantic alliance originally was formed to confront the soviet union. and we're now in a position where vladimir putin is trying to revive if not the soviet union at least the old russian empire and presenthiel major threat over the long term to the security of europe. but his buddy donald trump is doing everything he can to dismantle the north atlantic alliance to the extent where president macron here in france told "the econom

work with the president in visitor correspondents, are busiest season is of course during the un general assembly but now is an opportunity to sort of feel oh what was going to happen and whether this was something i wanted to continue with, what other options were out there if there were and i found and actually i really liked what i was doing and i like to see possibilities of what i continue in addition, more educational and cultural exchange work that i think is so vital to all of our interests worldwide. yes sir. >> microphone is on its way. >> thank you so much, i just want to say that, thank you for sharing, as it happened yesterday, it was very very.. my question to both of you, have you had a chance to go back and, visit those, in iraq thank you? >> i think my family would tie me off, and lock me in a room, before i can't even get close to the place, no, i do not want to put anybody there in an awkward decision place number one, number two, i haven't amazing audience here in the united states, i have been able to enjoy, knowing them, and not worrying about, their safety, and for my safet

trump and zelensky sat down face-to-face in front of hoard of cameras on the sidelines of the un general assemblyasked by a reporter at that meeting whether he felt any pressure coming from president trump who was at that point the man sitting directly beside him. the ukrainian president told that hoard of reporters at that public meeting that he was not pushed. you might remember president trump immediately jumping in to interject, in other words, no pressure. ever since that weird moment before the cameras, the president's allies in congress have used those comments as a central talking point in their rebuttal in this impeachment allegation. it's been that constant refrain by republican lawmakers. you know if president zelensky himself says he was not pressured then what are we impeaching someone for? there was no pressure, he was not pressured, he said so. are you calling him a liar? there are a couple of problems with that defense from the republicans in congress. first it flies in the face of testimony by multiple administration officials, witnesses like bill taylor who have said, yeah, the

yes sir it's been some time since i refresh myself on the discussion that took place at the un general assembly so i hesitate to say did he ever raise it but he did not raise it at the time of the 25 july phone call ok i'm switching gears a little bit you you strike me as a as a process guy. and i it's nagging at me because you characterized the ambassador sandland linking in whatever way it happened of. aid to. to an investigation as the gordon problem you said it caused you to roll your eyes and besser volcker said it was everybody in the july 10th meeting thought it was inappropriate john bolton characterizes this as the drug deal so seems like everybody in the room understands that there's a huge problem here. my understanding is that it would be normal course of business when you have an ambassador out there going rogue as apparently there was consensus and basters on than was doing that either the national security adviser john bolton or the secretary of state might rein them in why didn't that happen there i can't speak to that but i would generally agree about souter's or for the secret

on september 25th at the un general assemblying, president trump met zelensky. he released the transcript. the ukrainians had no items and they were livid. this was the first time i had seen the details of president trump's phone call with zellen sky in which he mentioned vice president biden, i had come to understand well before then that investigation was a term ambassadors volker and sondland used to mean matters related to the 2016 elections and to investigations of burisma and the bidens. last friday, a member of my staff told me of events that occurred on july 26th. while ambassador volker and i visited the front, a member of my staff accompanied aambassador sonland, sonland met with mr. yurmak. following that meeting in the presence of my staff, am bassdor sondland called president trump and told him of his meetings in kiev. the member of my staff could hear president trump on the phone asking ambassador sondland about the investigations. mr. sondland told president trump the ukrainians were ready to move forward. following the call with president trump,

and how do we understand the notion of honor when the un general assembly laughs at you.n the president of turkey makes sure everyone is aware that he ripped up your letter and threw it in the trash. how do we think about that in foreign policy construct? and the last thing i really want to touch on is your assertion that not that much has really changed in american foreign policy of the last two years because when i read this part in the book i thought, they are certainly going to regret that they had to go to press when they did and they are surely going to want to change that assessment. but you don't want to change that assessment. i'm reading the book, i thought, how can i understand how you and i can look at the same fax and see the effects so differently. this i think brings us to the broader question of what is a doctrine of restraint and what does it cover and is actually adequately encompass the range of challenges that confront any american leader. if you think the climate policy is a big deal, if you think Ãb if you think that migration is an enormous problem
