possible to avoid the war and to reduce the suffering of civilians. >> the united nations court in the hague will hear his answer to a long list of atrocities in the former yugoslavia. 300 hours are allotted for his defense. the 67-year-old is representing himself and plans to call hundreds of witnesses to the stand. the 10 judges against him include genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. he's accused of being behind the murder of 8000 men and boys in 1995, the worst massacre in europe since world war ii. prosecutors have now charged 161 suspects over war crimes in the balkans. on tuesday, the final defendant began his child. the former rebel leader was arrested in 2011 after years on the run. he is accused of the murder, torture, and forcible deportation of ethnic croats. >> the creation of ethnically cure territories in regions that have for generations been ethnically mixed is accomplished through conflict, persecution, and violence. what we now generically called ethnic cleansing. >> the united nations war crimes court could take another two years to pass its fin

nations charter. >> we are close to the united nations which he more than any other soul created and which has contributed to avoiding that third world war. we are also close to ground zero which reminds us that we are not yet free from fear. >> here is your first look at other news going on around america. this carjacking caught on tape. the driver is nearly crushed in a philadelphia gas station when a car thief hopped inside his vehicle. the 61-year-old put up a struggle but lost his grip after being dragged several feet. the car was found a few block as way. no arrests have been made. >>> well, take a look at this shocking video. it was captured on the streets of new york city last april. a taxi driver just tossed a passenger out of his cab, then drove off with the car doors open after the man jumped back in. well, the driver apparently became upset when the allegedly drunken man vomited inside the cab. the taxi limousine commission revoked the cab by's license. >>> all right. rockies, colorado skiers kicked off ski season at arapaho basin. the resort is traditionally one of the first i

to world war ii, words that would become part of the united nations' charter. >> we are close to the united nations, which he more than any other soul created, and which has contributed to avoiding that third world war. we are also close to ground zero, which reminds us that we are not yet free from fear. >>> and now here's a look at some other stories making news early today in america. let's begin with an all-out brawl that cost five arizona prison guards their jobs. the correction officers punched and stomped on two patrons outside a bar last september. the men also attacked a father and his 17-year-old son who were trying to break up the fight. each former guard faces aggravated assault and other charges. >>> there was widespread hysteria across northern california. did you see it? there were scores of people that witnessed a fireball streaking across the sky. the sightings caused phone lines at national weather service to light up. now, officials there believe the bright streaks of light were part of a meteor shower, which is becoming a normal occurrence in the area. pretty cool lookin

is not a premeditated terrorist attack. >> 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, but there's absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. none. >> sean: blaming the video and apologizing for hurting the feelings of radical extremists continued, not just for days, but for weeks after this attack. and through it all, the president was asked, and asked repeatedly, if this was an act of terror, and he flat-out refused to say yes. in other words, he lied at that debate last night, and the cover-up continues. and so does the president's deliberate indifference to matters of national security. now, we've hammered the president for attending a fundraiser in vegas the day after that libya attack. today after the news broke the feds foiled a blow to blow up the federal reserve building by a muslim extremist, how does the president respond? with a full day of campaigning, including events tonight. joining me with reaction is former speaker of thes house, newt gingrich. welcome back

only? >> he went to the united nations and i think he mentions the video six times in his speech to the united nations. this is a calculated, methodical act of dishonestliy. president obama cannot bring himself to tell the truth about radical sales islam even when it's calling americans. >> greta: why? >> you have to ask him why. >> greta: he doesn't come here. >> that's a psychological question. read his cairo speech, read what he said when court ran koran was being turned, about this video the fort hood killing. the obama administration has never will admitted once that was an act of radical islamism. >> greta: why? >> because their motto is killing osama bin laden ended the game. it's a mistake that george w. bush made when he was on the aircraft carrier with mission accomplished. this was a deeper, harder war that will go on for maybe 50, 70 years. people out there hate us, they want to destroy us. we can he say we're going to give up the war. that's fine. the war may not give us up. i think obama doesn't want to deal with that. hills friends on the left can't bring themselve

. and that they blamed this anti-islam video the president saying it six times at the united nations. does that answer square and will the fallout from that be a problem for this white house? >> i think it will be a problem for the white house. they've told untruths, fiction. the president perpetrated them on letterman. he spoke about libya in the libya in the context of the video when everybody knew it was not an issue at the time. so i think on the facts, on explaining libya, yes, it's going do be a huge problem, but it will be a huge problem in a few days. few days. right now in the context of the debate i think he got away with it because there was no actual response at the time on the stage. when you had moderator meeting in behalf of obama that, i think swung it in a way that was incorrect and unfair. >> bret: charles, thank you. >> pleasure. >> fox news teamed up with good folks at twitter to find out what you had to say about the debate. keeping tax on when the discussion on teenage triggered a big discussion on line. tonight's debate generated lots of conversation over the last 90 minutes. he

, that he would exhaust the remedies of the united nations and go through the inspections. in fact, he first didn't even want to do that. and it wasn't until former secretary of state jim baker and general scowcroft and others pushed publicly and said you've got to go to the u.n. , that the president finally changed his mind -- his campaign has a word for that -- and went to the united nations. now, once there, we could have continued those inspections. we had saddam hussein trapped. he also promised america that he would go to war as a last resort. those words mean something to me, as somebody who has been in combat." last resort." you've got to be able to look in the eyes of families and say to those parents, "i tried to do everything in my power to prevent the loss of your son and daughter." i don't believe the united states did that. and we pushed our allies aside. and so, today, we are 90 percent of the casualties and 90 percent of the cost, $200 billion -- $200 billion that could have been used for health care, for schools, for construction, for prescription drugs for seniors, and it's

, a helicopter explodes in midair. what the united nations is asking the government to do for one day to quell the violence. >> it was fierce and many of us watched. more than 65 million people tuned in the to last night's debate, slightly down from the 67 million who watched the first debate. the candidates continued their fight in different swing states. president obama in iowa, and mitt romney in virginia. >> i just think the american people had expected that the president of the united states would be able to describe what he's going to do in the next four years but he can't. >> you heard of the square deal. mitt romney's trying to sell you a sketchy deal. we're not buying it. >> plenty of verbal jabs. the third and final debate will be next monday evening in florida, another key battleground state. >> there are 20 days to go in the run for the white house. the focus is on which candidate has momentum headed into the final stretch. i want to bring in larry gerston. the cnn poll, the president won the debate but lost some on questions about health care and the economy. what does that say ab

-- >> presumably, the white house also had that information, so why then on september 15th did the united nations ambassador susan rice describe the attack this way? >> it's important to know that there's an fbi investigation that has begun and will take some time to be completed. that will tell us with certainty what transpired, but our current best assessment based on the information that we have at present is that in fact, what this began as was a spontaneous, not a premeditated response to what had transpired in cairo. in cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated. >> the spontaneous, not premeditated is the important part. that was four days after raw intelligence was available contradicting that. three days after the intelligence community may have apprised both lawmakers and the white house that such intelligence, preliminary though it may have been, in fact existed. so why then did susan rice say that? an intelligence official tells us she was working off a set of cia talking point

annan served two terms as secretary general of the united nations from 1997 to 2006. his new book "interventions: a life in war and peace." mr. annan, it's a real honor to have you here. thank you. >> happy to be here. >> i wanted to start on the iraq war, we're on the eve of the presidential election. you said by behaving as it did, the u.s. invited the perception it was become a greater threat to global security than anything saddam could muster, a self-inflicted wound, that did immense and possibly lasting damage to u.s. standing in the world. why do you bookend your own book, start and end your book with a discussion of the iraq war? why is it of such outsized importance? >> it is important because the iraq war brought divisions within the u.n. and the world that we hadn't seen for a long time. and as i said at the beginning of the war, that when a country's attacked it has a right to defend itself. but when it's a broader question of security for all of us, you cannot do without the security -- the legitimacy of the security council can confer. in this case, the war was -- th

will this tragedy define tomorrow's faceoff? john bolton is the former ambassador to the united nations and a fox news contributor that joins us on sunday mornings at this time. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, eric. >> governor romney who you have advised, what should he say to president obama tomorrow night? >> the tragedy that occurred in benghazi is a debacle for not only the administration's foreign policy before the attack and after the attack, it's also emblematic of the failed world view, its inability to understand what's going on in the middle east and the threats that the united states, israel, and our arab friends face and inindicative of a larger problem globally. i think for governor romney to articulate a peace through strength through foreign policy will be a substantial contrast with what the obama administration has failed to achieve. >> everyone's focusing on benghazi at the moment. before we get to this, talk about the world view. look at egypt turning his back on must b mu.you've got russia,e islamists. tell me more about your view of that world view and how you thi

ambassador to the united nations, susan rice to appear on five talk-show said. she repeats the attack was spontaneous and born of a video protest. >> the best and permission and assessment the have today this was not preplanned your premeditated. initially, a reaction to what transpired in cairo as a consequence of the video. lou: the following day the state department spokesperson was questioned refuse to acknowledge the obama administration had enough and permission to know what happened. we know her subsequent statements are incorrect based on testimony to the house oversight committee. >> simply on the basis of what ambassador rice has publicly disclosed -- disclosed from what happened in benghazi and act of terror? >> will not put labels until we have a complete investigation. >> not to enact a terrorism? >> we do not know enough. lou: september 18 the president continues to avoid the white house press corps but does participate in hard-hitting discussions with david letterman telling him the video is responsible. >> are we at war? what happens? >> we had a video released by some

appearance at the united nations general assembly was a very successful appearance in terms of the quality of his delivery, and also, i would say a convincing argument he made. generally speaking, we have very bad experiences with red lines. israel has drawn red lines on almost any issue you can imagine over the years. we have drawn red lines on our relationships with the palestinians. we have drawn red lines on our relations with other countries. afterwards, we have sometimes had a problem with reconciling our decisions with the red lines we have placed. i think the use of red lines creates clarity on the one hand, but also creates a commitment that not always can be met. therefore, i personally felt that the use of red line is not conducive to the ultimate aim. as i said previously in the opening remarks, i do not think that we will benefit from bringing iran publicly to its knees. i think we need to find a way in which we can obtain the desired result, and enable them also to feel that they have -- in certain areas, they have gained something beyond the simple removal of sanctions. i do

question about the whole nature of his approach to that part of the world. from the united nations ambassador, as you pointed out telling the american people a falsehood on the sunday after the attack, to vice president biden on a national debate, who repeatedly misleading the american people to the president last night completely misleading the american people. question here that you have a president of the united states who is commander in chief, will not be honest with himself about the problem of radical islam, will not be honest with the world about it. his united nations speech was a disgrace. for an american president to go to the u.n. and apologize six times for a youtube video by some nut case, first of all, we should be defending the right of free speech. we should be saying to the muslim world, yes, if you want to be in the modern world, guess what, you're not going to have islamic supremacy, not able to dictate to the rest of us, you're not going to have an american president census owner eor on your behalf, yet the obama state department has gone in the opposite direct

substantively and also figuratively. i think his appearance in the united nations general assembly was a very successful appearance in terms of the quality of his delivery and also i would say the convincing arguments he made. generally speaking, we have very bad experience with red lines. israel has drawn redlines almost on any issue you can imagine over the years. we have drawn redlines on our relations with the palestinians but we have drawn redlines with other countries. then afterwards we have sometimes had a problem of reconciling our decisions with the red lines we have placed. so i think the use of a redline creates clarity on the one hand, but also a creates a commitment that not always can be mixed. and, therefore, i personally felt that the use of the redline is not conducive to the ultimate aim. as i said, previously in the opening remarks, i don't think that we will benefit from bringing iran publicly to its knees. i think we need to find a way in which we can obtain the desired results, and enable them also to feel that they have in certain areas, they have gained something beyo

the president do, stand before the united nations, tell the world come directly to indicate to the ayatollah, we will not let them acquire a nuclear weapon, unless he is talking about going to war. host: matthew lee? guest: vice president joe biden brings up the question, what exactly does mitt romney want to do differently? the obama administration, like the bush administration, has pursue tough sanctions against iran at the un and it has succeeded. this the administration has also imposed harsh unilateral sanctions. these were passed by congress, but the administration went along with them and has implemented them. we see significant deterioration in the iranian economy, largely, or a least in part because of these sanctions. again, as the vice president said, and messiest talking about going to work, it is not clear what mitt romney would do differently. it is one thing to say i will rally the international community, get the russians and chinese on board, but it is another thing to be able to do that in real life. host: richmond, virginia. matt, an independent scholar. caller: i am more worr

both substantiatively and figuratively. i think his appearance in the united nations was successful in terms of the quality of his delivery and also i'd say the convincing arguments he made. >> generally speaking, we have a very bad experience with redlines. -- drawn red lines as you can imagine over the years. we have drawn red lines on our relations with the palestinian, we have drawn redlines on our relation with other countries and after wards we had a problem of reconciling our decisions with the red lines we have replaced. so i think the use of a red line creates clarity on the one hand, and also it creates a commitment that not always can be made. and therefore, i personally felt that the use of a red line is not conducive to the ultimate aid. as i said previously in the opening remarks, i don't think that we will benefit from bringing iran publicly to its knees. i think we need to find a way in which we can obtain the desired results and enable them also to feel in certain areas they have gained something just beyond a simple removal of sanctions. i don't think that ultimate

to his country with the assistance of the united nations. he played a key role mediating between armed factions and supporting reconstruction. during sihanouk's lifetime cambodia was buffeted by world affairs. this country was at the mercy of wider conflicts between the united states, the former soviet union, and china, as well as the ambitions of its neighbors, thailand and vietnam. king sihanouk was a symbol of cambodian resilience over six turbulent decades. the body of sihanouk will lie in state at the royal palace for three months to give cambodians an opportunity to say farewell. that will be followed by a state funeral. now peace and prosperity are gradually returning to the country. many cambodians see the passing of their former king as the end of an era. >>> the weak global economy is forcing companies to look for new markets to grow. even so, pakistan doesn't seem like an obvious choice. headlines from there often focus on political chaos and terrorism. discouraged a group of japanese companies from taking a closer look. nhk world reports from islamabad. >> reporter: siakot

in this attack. >> september 16th, u.s. board to the united nations susan rice goes on five sunday talk shows calling the attack "spontaneous." >> in fact, this was not a preplanned, premeditated attack. >> september 17th -- >> simply on the basis of what ambassador rice has publicly disclosed, does the united states government regard what happened in benghazi as an act of terror in. >> again, i'm not going to put labels on this until we have a complete investigation, okay? >> so you don't regard it as an act of terrorism? >> i don't think we know enough. i don't think we know enough. >> september 18th on the david letterman show -- >> is this an act of war? are we at war here? what happens here? >> here's what happened. you had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who is a extremely offensive video directed at muhammad -- >> making fun of the prophet muhammad. >> making fun of the prophet muhammad. so this caused great offense if much of the muslim world, but what also happened was extremists and terrorists used this as an excuse to attack a varie

. sgroirchlgts today's obama and romney prepare to defeat -- we'll ask former ambassador to the united nations, democrat bill richardson, and former republican speaker of the house, newt gingrich. >> hello, virginia. >> what a great virginia welcome. >> then battleground virginia with the state's democratic senator mark warner and former congressman republican tom davis, and courtship of the american woman. gender politics with the top republican woman in congress cathy mcmoore-rogers, democratic congresswoman and dana baish and dan bal sfwl from "the washington post. i'm candy crowley, and this is "state of the union." >>> in an election about the economy, the debate over international affairs has been minimal. >> al qaeda is on the path to defeat, and osama bin laden is dead. >> up against criticism that the president's approach has been too hard on friends and too consillatory to enemies. >> the president's policies throughout the middle east began with an apology tour. >> tomorrow night's debate, the last before the election, will focus solely on foreign policy. it is certain to include th

you have to ask yourself why didn't we know five days later when the ambassador to the united nations went on tv to say that this was a demonstration, how could we have not known? i find more troubling than this, on the day following the assassination of a united states ambassador, the first time that's happened since 1979, when we have four americans killed there, when apparently we didn't know what happened, that the president the day after that happened flies to las vegas for political fundraiser. then the next day to colorado for another event. >>> another political event. i think these actions taken by a president and leader have symbolic significance. and perhaps even material significance in that you'd hope that during that time we could call in the people who are actually eyewitnesses. we've read their accounts now about what happened. it was very clear this was not a demonstration. this was an attack by terrorists. and this calls into question the president's whole policy in the middle east. look what's happening in syria, in egypt, now in libya. consider the distance between

ambassador to the united nations went out there with false information? >> let's be clear, susan rice -- >> is he now -- >> i think what is important is that the best information that we had at the time in which we had it. nobody went out there and did anything to mislead this country. >> so are we -- >> and as the president said, republican attempts to politicize this issue have been and continue to be offensive. look, i think it was the strongest answer of the night and it's clear what secretary clinton has outlined with the ambassador is to know what happened -- let me answer this question. because this is important. what happened in benghazi, what happened leading up to benghazi. this is a strong answer for the president and it demonstrated one more time mitt romney's real weakness on foreign policy and we real weakness as commander in chief. >> is he mad about what happened? >> absolutely. we want to know what happened and what happened leading up to it. as you peal back the layers on a terrorist attack like this, and something like the christmas day bombing, you learn more and m

of state, our united nations ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we lost four of our own is offensive. that is not what we do. that is not what i do as president that is not what i do as commander in chief. how >> you see both candidates are getting a bit demonstrative even approaching each other. they each wanted to make their point this was cutting oil. the final question from the undecided voter was how you might feel misrepresented by the american people and by your opponent. >> i think the presidential campaign is characterizing me as somebody who's different than who i am a. i care of what one of the% of the american people. i want them to a prosperous future of i care about 100 percent of the american people. i care about our kids. i am on track for a balanced budget >> and when he said behind closed doors that 47 percent of the country concessions themselves victims. or considers themselves victims think about who he was talking about. people who are on social security that of work all their lives, veterans who sacrificed for this country. >> if yo

to the united nations went on five television shows and said it was just a spontaneous combustion, that people just showed up off and on a demonstration with more more -- mortgage for and ipg's. if they don't tell the truth the only thing left is a coverup or lie. >> how surprised were you to learn our embassador sent a cable on september 11-saying he was worried about his security? >> you know, the more i hear about this, and it's just coming from the media, we're not getting this from the white house. we have not, as we talked about, had any response to serious requests we've made of the white house and it's the first time in my service that i've seen the secretary of defense prohibit the uniform military from being able to respond to a direct question from the chairman of the armed service committee. it looks like they're trying to hush this up. hope it goes away and wait until after the election. they're wrong. the american people are getting engaged in this. everywhere i go, people talk to me about this. they're concerned. they can take the truth and i can't understand for the life of meo

the stock exchange, we have the united nations -- failure can have a dramatic impact on the nation, and even internationally. so there's a really keen awareness that you always have to be fixing the system. things corrode, they rust. they get to where you turn them on and nothing happens. but it is so totally used in every nook and cranny, that making any accommodation to shut it down, to do something to it, is very difficult. narrator: two massive underground tunnels, called simply tunnel 1 and tunnel 2, provide most of the city's water supply. they run hundreds of feet below manhattan, far deeper than the subways. built at the beginning of the 20th century, they are concrete-lined and bored through solid rock. they could last centuries. but the mechanical equipment within them will not. engineers in the 1950s discovered rust on the tunnel's valves. there were concerns that if they closed the valves for tunnel inspections, they may never open again, leaving new york city without water. so they chose to keep them open. as a result, there has not been significant inspection, maintenance, or r
