violence has no place among our united nations. it has been years since a man set himself on fire to protest and became known as the arab spring. the country has been captivated by what has taken place. the united states has supported the forces of change. we were inspired by the tunisian protests that toppled dictator because we recognize our own police in the aspirations of men and women who took to the streets. we insisted on change in egypt because our support for democracy ultimately put us on the side of the people. we supported a transition of leadership in a yemen because the interests of the people were no longer being served by a corrupt status quo. we intervened in libya alongside a broad coalition and with a mandate of united nations security council because we had the ability to start project to stop the slaughter of innocents -- we had the ability to stop the slaughter of innocents. as we meet here, we declared the regime must come to an end so the suffering of the syrian people can stop and a new dawn can begin. we h

we speak to the former secretary general of the united nations, who has issued a stark warning about the syrian conflict. >> if they cannot come together or find a way to work together, then we are in a really, really hopeless situation. >> on board the africa express', the train which runs on music. hello. spain is poised on the brink of a bailout this week, but as the country's economic woes mount, there are cracks appearing within the complex relation between barcelona and madrid. catalonia is not germany, but the region is the economic powerhouse of spain, and nationalists there resent subsidizing other regions and in making their voices heard. >> of catalonia does one day get its own air force, it will probably be able to afford something better than these. on the beach in barcelona, the air show is a welcome distraction. spain's richest region is now at the center of the crisis with madrid committed to the austerity. there is now a rising demand in catalonia for independence. >> my feeling is that the spanish government totally rejected what is happening here. they spread rejec

they give him a forum at united nations. he goes in and talks openly to reporters and forums about wiping israel off the map and new world order to get rid of zionists. that incredible inflammatory speech under any circumstance. why does the u.n. give people like that a forum to express really provocative language and threaten another country? >> to them, there is a couple of ways you can look at it. a darker view, these are views that people don't agree with. it goes back to the idea if you are not going to set a standard and pass judgment, of course, you can speak. he is no different than anybody else. u.n. has an high bar for anti-semitism. i think they exceeded it with mahmoud ahmadinejad speaking on the holiest jewish day of the year, i was under whemd by his speech. you are have to lean back, he nailed it. i think he missed the mark. >> what was the most shocking thing in making the film "you and me." >> you are blown away and shocked at every turn. i knew it was bad. i didn't know how deep it went. one moment on a ser

i enjoyed the film, but disturbing, you've got the united nations that can't even define terrorism. our president goes to the u.n. this week and he doesn't mention it, yet, we've got a dead ambassador to show for what i guess is an undefinable cause. >> i didn't realize the word terrorism was so difficult to figure out what it is. i tried spoofing it to the guy with the dictionary apparently webster has a view on terrorism. >> mike: what was it that motivated you to take on the united nations? >> you know, it's interesting, and it's a moment. and i was sitting at home, and i was watching a michael moore movie, "columbine" i've seen movies and never actually made one and i can't tell you why, i started thinking about the u.n. and the bias against israel, its failure to stop sudan, and i needed to do something and i looked over the screen and saw this michael moore entertaining and engaging medium. this is the medium i want to use to express my point of view and i literally quit my job ap started raising money and put the movie together. it was remarkable to see almost as sort of clue

nations, that he wants -- that he wants to privilege international law in the united nations, it all of those things are what he claims to believe, maybe we can heal our democracy enough to force a president who makes that claim to make good on those promises. if, on the other hand, you have a president whose candidacy, who camp -- whose campaign promises were based on the idea that i will be tougher, that, as governor romney said, the palestinians have "no interest in peace." then you have someone who is coming into office accountable to a foreign policy that has no interest in international law, no interest in the united nations, no interest in ending the israeli occupation of palestinian territory or the siege of gaza, no interest in maintaining the end of the war in iraq. there are hints from romney that he would daschle like u.s. troops back in iraq. so it is not only that president obama's current policies don't seem so different from the actual policies that romney calls for, but it matters the vehemence with which one or the other calls for war and makes that a standard of wh

at the united nations in new york, the cuban ambassador was about to tell the world about the secret nuclear weapon. >> the cubans were given instructions to the representatives at the predicted the representative at the united nations. in those instructions, the mention specifically that cuba has tactical nuclear weapons. the soviet premier understands this table could be intercepted -- this table could be intercepted by american intelligence. the secret could come up. he immediately came forward to moscow and said that they have the representative from following his instructions. that he should not say a word of the united nations or anywhere else. >> he now faces his biggest challenge -- how to get castro to agree to the removal of the tactical nuclear weapons he thought were his? >> in the exchange of cables, between the premier and khrushchev, the soviets never gave him clear instructions about the you remaining tactical -- about the remaining tactical nuclear weapons. he is awaiting instructions, but he has to go meet with castro late night on november 22, 1962. and he knows th

nation and somewhere among those three different layers there is the possibility of military action there is the possibility of negotiation and there is the possibility at least of some sort of solution that gets resolved out of that but we're still fortunately or fortunately we're still in early days on this we don't really have a plan of action by ecowas little loan a plan of action from the african union or more than just the encouragement from the united nations now if i go back to you in london it seems to me that everyone in mali's waiting for western intervention here ok and the reason i say it is that because the other actors that have been mentioned this program are not effective enough ok but this same time there's a long history of failure of intervention here will work this time. well one thing you don't want on the background is the french the past doesn't come doesn't help but the problem with the current interim civilian unity government that's in place currently is that they do not even trust their own military has examined the existing military has lost trust becaus

as a full member in the united nations. and up for it was voiced by some -- an uproar was voiced by some against this political and peaceful step by a certain its basis and foundation. however, our endeavor was aborted despite the fact that a majority of the countries of the world have endorsed as and continue to support our application. i do not see a single reason for opposing this request. yet when the countries of the world have the opportunity to declare their stance without any restrictions or veto last autumn, they voted. they voted despite enormous pressure in strong support of the acceptance of palestinian as a member of unesco. a year has passed and palestinian is playing the role in unesco with high professionalism. in order to advance of detectives of the organization. in order to enhance the chances for peace, ladies and gentleman, we will continue our efforts. we will continue our efforts to maintain full membership of palestine at the united nations.

here with us to help break down governor romney's speech is former ambassador to the united nations, john bolton. ambassador, welcome back, sir. >> glad to be with you. >> sean: all right. so the white house pushed mubarak out, had no idea the muslim brotherhood would take over. they lied to us about libya. new evidence coming out today that ambassador stevens was begging for his security team to stay on. they didn't grant him that assistance, that help. the president spiking the football when it comes to bin laden, but didn't support the policies that led to the intelligence that allowed him to make that decision. where do you think things are going here? how bad is this obama doctrine, if you will? >> i think things are going in the wrong direction. i think they're directly attributable in the middle east to the decline of american influence, which is a policy that the obama administration has pursued quite consciously, and we're now seeing the effects of it. the examples you give, the determination to withdraw from afghanistan on a fixed timetable that's basically turning the coun

so i went to the united nations. i didn't need anybody to tell me to go to the united nations. i decided to go there myself. and i went there hoping that, once and for all, the free world would act in concert to get saddam hussein to listen to our demands. they passed the resolution that said, "disclose, disarm, or face serious consequences." i believe, when an international body speaks, it must mean what it says. saddam hussein had no intention of disarming. why should he? he had 16 other resolutions and nothing took place. as a matter of fact, my opponent talks about inspectors. the facts are that he was systematically deceiving the inspectors. that wasn't going to work. that's kind of a pre-september 10th mentality, the hope that somehow resolutions and failed inspections would make this world a more peaceful place. he was hoping we'd turn away. but there was fortunately others beside myself who believed that we ought to take action. we did. the world is safer without saddam hussein. >> new question, mr. president. two minutes. what about senator kerry's point, the compariso

the general assembly is the main deliberative organ of the united nations one hundred ninety three countries belong and the art of diplomacy is constantly tested the new president at the helm of this sixty seven session is thirty seven year old rookie he spent the past five years as serbia's foreign minister today he deals with the world's problems sitting down exclusively now with r t mr president thank you very much for sitting down with r.t. thank you very much indeed my pleasure you have assumed the presidency position in a very difficult time these days many would argue that the un. is dealing with somewhat of a crisis in confidence many see the institution as a stage where disagreements are more often displayed rather than all parties seeking or coming to any kind of agreement or solution the most obvious example here is the crisis in syria is the un more about preventing international military interventions rather than resolving conflicts with what i witnessed in the last few weeks. of deliberation after delegation and i had the chance to talk to almost everybody in the last couple we

if they are saying you must by the united nations as i mean. this is not the first time you come to our program when you were here on our show a couple. years ago you told us that you would refocus on internal threats rather than the external ones that were so there you concluded the serif focusing process and what are these internal threats. it's not like we exactly for cues on a certain type of threats we rather respond to the real threats we face in the c.s.t. oh the go to the security issues we need to address the movie in which we are not concerned about external threats that much we do not expect a military conflict within you outside power but it was things came to in fact we got from did most of the problems our nations face today. to be internal and forgotten still because nothing was terrorism drugs if you did it the human trafficking. which is getting supporters in our countries. therefore we used it to the vehicle to us to counter the challenges that our nations face and the challenges i mean the internal go to the doctors because o

will lead civilians to why isn't the united nations putting in one nine hundred seventy three resolution in this situation so i think that that's really a worthwhile point to remember. apart from media it's the syrian conflict which could prove a powder cag where the potential to inflame the whole region to days crossed our guest discuss in a couple of hours whether those who backed regime change in syria could ever become beacons of democracy for the embattled state. i don't think the moment that the saudi royal family or the qataris are out of frame hoarders all felt human rights you know they are not they're not the leaders absolutely but i think it's inaccurate to say that all countries will support those who are in our undemocratic look at turkey turkey is a very democratic country look at egypt egypt has recently had a revolution and it's been my friend and we are says the democracy. let's take the democracy internally if. democracy. and won fair and square. minorities and got to keep i believe. what what is the what the where as i just quoted does and thirty. eight. drone attacks

wasted no time in going on the defensive it immediately contacted nato as well as the united nations of course this abominable act and has urged the international community for immediate action now on wednesday night an emergency meeting of nato was held in brussels the syrians did issue an apology they offered their condolences to the family and both sides have called for restraint at the same time we do expect that the turkish call for the united nations security council to meet immediately will be dealt with today what we're hearing from the turkish is that he needs to be immediate and urgent action to what they call syrian aggression so the situation on the ground quite fluid and remains to see to be seen what happens in the coming hours. let's get more on this latest escalation between turkey and syria with ken stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war mr stone thanks for joining r t what do you make of turkey's reaction to the incident do you think it's justified. i think that the prime minister erred on may think he's a very clever and lobbying artillery shells over th

. >> since our founding, the united states has been a nation that respects all faiths. we reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. there is absolutely no justification for this type of senseless violence. >> with those words the president seems to be saying that ambassador chris stevens and three others were killed in a spontaneous riot over the video and not a planned terror attack. a few paragraphs later, he does use the term terror, but in a more general sense after he recalls a september 11th, 2001 al-qaeda attack. >> no acts of terror will shake the resolve of this great nation. >> it's a huge distinction to obama critics like best selling author mark stein. >> there are always reasons to riot. >> he believes the president was trying to dodge responsibility for the attack by chalking it up to the sudden out of proportion outrage we here in the muslim world. >> i happened to be in the oval office once, president bush says it's always something, it's the crusades, it's the cartoons. and danish cartoons over a sudanesse teddy bear. there is alw

bound by united nations resolutions. america has a very ambivalent attitude toward international law. we are in some respects the greatest spokesman sometimes their international law. read the history and culture war and through the effect refunded the united nations, or have been among the most persistent ignores of international law at the same time. it is always -- partly because we have an exception of the that the laws are right for everybody. they're not always run for us because we have a special role to play. >> is there a bad thing damaging to our status and credibility in the international community? >> it seems to me if you try to say it in one sentence with the united states goal ought to be, it is ought to be creating a world order. it is what we would like for were not the most powerful country. that is one has a role. the role of relevant here is prevention, that is recognized as a legitimate -- what is not recognized is prevention. the difference has to do with the eminence of the threat. if there were cl

we can't confirm any of that at the united nations today the country's foreign minister slammed the united states plus britain, france and others claiming the nations are responsible for the blood shed. >> we also wonder to what extent the states -- statements made by cut tar, saudi arabia, turkey, the united states and others, who what extent do these statements which clearly incite and support terrorism in syria with money, weapons and foreign fighters, to what extent are these in line with the international responsibilities of these countries in combating terrorism? >> shepard: of course, human rights groups blame the syrian regime for much of the killing in the 18-month uprising. in fact, observers say as many as 30,000 people have already died since the conflict began. "the fox report's" correspondent jonathan hunt life at the united nations for us again tonight. jonathan, the foreign minister's speech must have raised a lot of eyebrows in that place. >> to say the least, shep. it amounted to an argument that syria is involved essentially in a battle for survival of its government. it
