"b," the unga here, mayor de blasio said it would be strong police presence because of unga and whatekend. you came from the train station. >> train arrived on time into a busy penn station. you know new york city -- >> bounces back. >> -- new york has a way to bounce back. there was traffic but that's also new york. that's that. now, if you've ever been in new york during a u.n. general assembly, i know you have, the security by itself is already intense. now they have an added concern, but i think that in terms of the way the city will look, it will look like it has in previous septembers but with police -- listen, on any other given day they're on a high level alert, now even on a higher level of alert. >> jim sciutto, thanks very much. >>> now to this -- let's go to jessica snyder standing by there in manhattan with the scene behind you. what are you learning about the investigation? >> you know, brooke, we're really in the epicenter of this investigation, so while the manhunt is over, the suspect's in custody, the fact-finding mission out here is really in full force. can you se

unga set to start soon. many people will be out there. >> the president's arriving tonight as well in new york city. >> a lot happening. help our viewers understand the context there. >> i'm one of those people. i was just down in the village mindsing my own village minding my own business having had dinner with friends and all of a sudden i heard a load of sirens, and went past me black limos -- black big cars, fire brigade and ambulances. my immediate thought because it's the united nations general assembly. limoville. the limos started and the entourages and motorcades started to come. and more and more started to coming up sixth avenue. it rapidly became clear 23rd street, four blocks that way and up here as well was something more serious. what was the evening like? it was a perfect fall evening. as you can see, i've come straight from the scene from where i was earlier, short sleeves. it was a warm night. the streets were absolutely packed with people, which does not surprise me, having seen the evenin

the unga most of the week.lso events in other boroughs around town, the police xhilgs e excision commissioner pointing out at the press conference. this will probably be the largest presence of police ever in new york city given what's happened a few blocks away and what's happening next week. >> ron allen just outside the united nations. >>> that does it for me this hour. richard lui will pick up our continuing coverage next with the latest on new york city officials are saying about last night's blast in lower manhattan. thanks for watching. have a great sunday. everyone said it's so hard to be a musician, but i can't imagine doing anything else. now that the train makes it easier to get here, the neighborhood is really changing. i'm always hopping on the train, running all over portland. i have to go wherever the work is. trains with innovative siemens technology help keep cities moving, so neighborhoods and businesses can prosper. i can book 3 or 4 gigs on a good weekend. i'm booked solid for weeks. it take

. >> all week during the unga, the world's leaders were all here all week last week. there was a lot -- we all got our ep

the unga just about to get started and this is fashion week as well. >> always a busy time in new yorkbut especially right now. >> a lot of people on the streets. 29 people injured. thankfully no one killed. we know at least one person in critical condition. rachel crane has the latest from outside bellevue hospital for us. >> george and natalie, nine of the 29 blast victims were transported here to bellevue hospital. hospital officials tell us that many of the victims at this point have been released and none had life threatening injuries. we spoke to a couple that were victims of the blast as they were being discharged. they said they were driving their car in the area when the explosion occurred. a's when their car was lifted up by the force of the blast and the left side was damaged. they were both transported here to bellevue and they said they are lucky to be alive. >>> i can tell you what i remember. driving a car and i felt an explosion and the car just tilted over half way and came back down. next thing you know i'm in an ambulance. >> and what do you remember? >> everything w

that you probably won't see barack obama on the campaign trail the rest of the month because of the ungaarack obama who has been out of the country on his foreign travels. but come october he is going to pick up the pace again, and he is, as david and brianna said, is going to be a huge help to hillary clinton. >> it will be curious to see to which states they send him to campaign for hillary clinton. jackie, the nature of this election, two months to go, policy is an important issue but transparency is becoming another critically important issue. how is it playing out? >> i feel like policy was left on the platform long ago. transparency in terms of trust has become a huge problem in this election. it's not actually that hard to believe that at the end of the day we could have a president that is not seen as trustworthy, the trust numbers are upside-down as well as their likability numbers being upside-down. i don't know when the last time that happened but that's the choice the voters have right now. they don't like either of these people. >> hillary clinton's campaign has a new ad, br

. >> all week during the unga, the world's leaders were all here all week last week. there was a lot -- we all got our steps in last week. but she needed to do that. i mean, there's a lot of alarm. and granted they don't vote and this is part of what and mates the trump voters, it's our race, it's our choice. but i think she was very aware of that, i think she had to have heard that being secretary of state. she wasn't addressing them without their wanting to be addressed and reassured. >> it also goes to a larger point about what exactly they're offering. trump is basically saying take a leap with me, let's break this. stability is overrated, let's throw it all out the window, the system we've got stinks. the g-20, they don't put out the red carpet, let's pull up the wheels and skcrew it, let's fly home. she says things need to change but there are certain thing about the way we work, about our democracy, about our place in the world. >> one thing to point out from something we just saw, trump in the spin room already, the candidate in the spin room tends to suggest

it's unga week here in manhattan. you heard him just say refugees can make us stronger.posite end of the spectrum of the republican nominee for president, donald trump, you heard the reference again today to walls. they're in very different places when it comes to refugees globally, especially from these war-torn nations and what to do. michelle kosinski is our white house correspondent. she is outside the united nations. the president calling for a course correction and asking for more global cooperation. michelle. >> reporter: yeah. you see how big an issue this has become politically in the united states. so whenever president of the united states now speaks on this -- and he convened this summit -- you see how much impact he try toss make his words have. sometimes he makes reference to am some of the things that have been said in america over this. there is a global meeting with real goals, to have countries contribute more money, step up, for things like not just immediate aid to refugee populations. and you heard the president say there are now 65 million displaced

. >> we don't know if he was aware of unga was happening or not, also the significance of the locationse marine corps race on saturday morning at seaside heights. there was that registration hiccup, so apparently when the bomb went off that was supposed to be slated in conjunction with the start of the race, that didn't happen. >> and he didn't hit the high-profile targets like a bridge or a stadium of some type, which we have events going on all the time. >> go ahead. >> i want to add, because the bomb went off a few blocks from where i was, it was clear it was an explosion and i got on the phone with former associates saying, something bad's gone on here, we need to get on this immediately. that area, as your guest says, it's not as high profile, 23rd and 6th, but it's highly trafficked at that time of night. i think we got lucky in the placement of the bomb, had it been different, probably would have resulted in numerous fatalities because 23rd and 6th is highly trafficked. there's not a lot of security there. chelsea tends to be much lighter with law enforcement footprint. >> what a

we have unga, or the united nations general assembly happening, which has been brought up in the lastay or so. we have the president coming into manhattan very soon as well. these new details about the video, about the similarities that he has brought up, jonathan dienst, what do you think we're seeing? >> we're seeing law enforcement doing their job exceptionally well and already getting some starting to flesh out what exactly is happening. the briefcase, the suitcase, rather, the video, all the evidence, i've been out there. there's been over 75 pieces of small shrapnel that have been documented, cataloged, photographed, and will be put into evidence. >> how many? >> around 75. >> 75. >> there were numerous throughout the street. >> jonathan, you reported earlier about police investigating a 911 call. >> there's at least one 911 call after the blast claiming responsibility. up clear unclear if this is a hoax call. we do know law enforcement officials are running around on that. we saw some tumblr posting claiming responsibility. they ran that down. they found the poster of that note

this at the united nations for the 71st gathering of unga, as they call the united nations and the general assembly. the activity still happening on the left-hand side. just about 20, 25 minutes ago, we did see a gurney move through that very microphone area on the left-hand screen underneath the yellow taped portion that's sitting in the backdrop there. the streets for the most part, from what we have been hearing from our reporters, jose diaz balart, including him saying that the streets are fairly open, but with law enforcement vehicles and the sidewalks still with residents. i think we still have our terror analyst malcolm nance with us. as we look at this here, malcolm, you were mentioning earlier that you were getting reporting, something we don't have as of yet, four pipe bombs. we were showing the picture on the left-hand side before that garbage dumpster. the question is was it just merely construction materials, was it some sort of test, as jim cavanaugh said, could be a test of an explosive device, or could it have been some sort of pipe bomb. of course, we want it to be the fir

the unga happens here every year. the police are prepared.en what happened about a half mile or mile away or so, those explosions, there will be more of everything here. we're several blocks from the u.n. building as you can see back there. this entire area for i guess several blocks in that direction and up and down 1 of tst avenue be closed. there's tight credentially lin get near here. the president will be here monday. his speech is on tuesday. he will be here wednesday as well. the meetings go on for all week with other leaders. a lot of security. as you heard the commissioner and others say, they are concerned about the situation because they have someone who planted a bomb who is on the run. they don't know who the person is. they don't know the motive. they have said that they do not think it was a political motive. but again, the investigation is still under way. here security will be extremely tight. it's very visible. you can see there are streets blocked off. it took a while to get down 48th street, which i'm on now, from a hotel

but the bottom line is that this happens every year at unga, the new york police insist they are ready force in the country, so they say they are ready. tomorrow they begin. >> nbc's ron allen the very latest at the u.n. thanks. that's all for "msnbc live." we'll be covering stories all throughout the night here on msnbc. for now "meet the press" is next. you have a very good and safe sunday. ♪ glad forceflex. extra strong to avoid rips and tears. be happy, it's glad. on a healthy lifestyle with boost high protein. so i can... track my time and the time of my life. track my distance and how far we've come. track my steps, and the memories we make along the way. with 15g of protein to help maintain muscle, plus 26 essential vitamins and minerals including calcium and vitamin d... boost high protein is a delicious way to get complete nutrition - so you can keep track of what really matters. stay strong, stay active with boost. >>> this sunday an explosion in new york city injures dozens. another device is founded blocks away. >> it sounded like a million pianos dropped. >>> donald trump

. >> it looks like the unga backdrop and he pulled off what 25 minutes of looking different than normal. but then that changed. >> we saw yesterday a vivid, vivid example of political contortionism. it was incredible. in the space of six hours you had two different people. just incredible. >> this is a problem, politically, is in my first campaign i was way ahead. so, my opponent tried to paint me as this right wing rabid, christian conservative. which is a joke. everybody laughed. you made this joke. but i was the right wing ralph reid christian coalition candidate. they use that to scare everybody. and then they would alternately get old clips of where my band had played and said i was a scum bag rock musician. right. >> that's closer to the truth. >> that's closer to the truth. what did that do? it was mixed messages. not only did neither message hit, they worked, they effectively canceled each one out. so, trump yesterday he's diplomat and then he's red meat populo populous. so at the end of the day, neither one has an impact. >> i thought yesterday was a microcosm of his campaign.

she's in town for the unga.ntry as you can imagine, particularly in the city of aleppo. hillary clinton was secretary of state when this crisis began. what's her biggest regret about the way syria's been handled? >> well, obviously she's been out of office for some time now. >> she was there when it started. yeah. >> well, right, but, you know, she -- i think she's well regarded for her leadership as secretary of state. she came out of that office with a 70% approval rating. she in contrast to donald trump has released a clear and decisive plan to defeat isis. donald trump has said that he thinks he knows more about it than the generals and refuses to tell us what his secret plan is. >> i understand, robby. what about in syria, though? she supported the drawings of the red line. obviously she was out of her office when assad used chemical weapons. was it a mistake to draw the red line if the president was not willing to go -- to do something about it when it was crossed? >> well, as you pointed out, the decision

a lot of concern obviously with the unga this week. president coming to town. a lot of security.elicopters whizzing above even as we walked in the buildings this morning. here's what both hillary clinton and donald trump said on saturday when addressing the explosion in new york city saturday night. >> i must tell you that just before i got off the plane, a bomb went off in new york and nobody knows exactly what's going on. boy, we are living in a time we better get tough, folks. we better get very, very tough. a terrible thing that's going on in our world and in our country, and we are going to get tough and smart and vigilant and we're going to end it. we're going to end it. >> i've been briefed about the bombings in new york and new jersey and the attack in minnesota. obviously we need to do everything we can to support our first responders and also to pray for the victims. we have to let this investigation unfold. >> your reaction to the fact that donald trump immediately called the explosion in new york a bomb? >> i think it's important to know the facts about any incident l

about the global citizen event tomorrow, but first, jeffrey sachs, did they get anything done at the ungatually a remarkable week. not on syria, but on a couple of other things. peace in colombia, which has been gift years of war, is finally over, and there was a big celebration. >> war is over, not peace. >> peace is coming. >> you said peace is over. >> oh, no. peace is finally come. after 50 years, i should get that right, right? sorry. so the war is over after half a century. and this is a huge achievement and the u.n. played a big role in that with president santos. second big achievement is that the climate agreement is going into effect, and this is the whole world unanimous, we're done with these old debates. 196 signatories, every country, and this climate agreement is going into effect. that's a huge deal. >> yeah. i agree completely. on syria, though, how does this not become president obama's biggest regret and several other world nations that have not been able to come together on anything with this as the suffering continues? >> it should be his regret. he made huge mistakes
