it criticized the u.n. for accusing north korea for conducting a missile test disguised as a satellite launch. the statement says north korea rejects the council's violation of the north's legitimate right to launch satellites. north korea criticized the united states for halting food aid. u.s. officials promised the aid in february. in return, north korean officials agreed to suspend their nuclear and missile programs. their statement says they are no longer bound by the agreement. it also says north korea is also able to take retaliatory steps but does not give any details. political analysts say the measures could include more uranium enrich, a nuclear test or other provocative acts. >>> a senior u.s. state department official says he isn't surprised north korea is abandoning the agreement. he also discussed concerns the country is preparing for a nuclear test. >> we can't preclude anything at this point, but very clearly reminding them of their obligations under existing u.n. security council resolution

coming up, what in the world is the u.n. up to? tonight the big question is the u.n. violating its own sanctions in north korea? making shady deals with north korea government and not telling us? is there danger involved? ambassador john bolton goes on the record. and vice president candidate sarah palin take on a former rival. but probably not who you think. who is it? >> greta: dnc chair debbie waserman schultz calling ryan's plan republican path to poverty to pass like a tornado through nursing homes. she joins us. good evening. >> good evening. great to be with you. >> greta: nice to have you. explain this to me. president proposed budget, paul ryan proposes a budget. i understand you don't like it. i don't know if it's good, bad or indifferent. the senate has not proposed a budget. we have to wait for the senate to propose a budget to have a reconciliation between house and senate to get a budget. is that sort of how the process works? >> normally a budget by the president, budget adopted by the house, adopted by the senate, but you know basically the budget proc

the second thing about the u.n. at least in my view sometime at the u.n. does is quite inconsistent with notions of justice were improving global welfare. that's been the work of mine in the past few months. i was very much struck by first the war in kosovo and then the libyan intervention. you may remember in the war in kosovo, president clinton led a coalition of countries to intervene to stop ethnic cleansing in the balkans. the u.n. explicitly did not approve the intervention in kosovo. looking back on it, most everyone would think that the intervention of basically the native coalition into the balkans was a very good thing, both for the balkans and for the world. but under international law as many people currently interpreted, the u.n. has to approve all uses of force in self-defense, international actually becomes a barrier in obstacle to the achievement of improving the welfare of the peoples of the world. one could interpret the charter so it doesn't mean that, which somehow faking traits you or it may be that the u.n. security council system is

some place within the u.n. system, largely unesco, which of course we're out of for all the stupid reasons, but we're the keeper of those rules, the u.n. is. and how those rules get change and how we work on them is going to be very important. it's a wonderfully interesting challenge i think for those of us concerned about going back to the first question, what do we mean by sustainability. well, what is sustainability?in resources? how do we really dramatically change our way? we have to change definitions, as you point out. gross domestic product by itself does not help. so we've been talking than for 20 years. but there are now i think institutionally i think that's beginning to change. i'll stop with that. the other questions are great. but that was a good opening. >> and that addressed also the -- >> the first question. >> the planning under pressure question. >> okay. >> not fully. >> let me try. they're really great questions. and of course we are all trying collectively to find answers to some of these

that's particularly confusing when you look at the u.n. system. the u.n. essentially does two things. one, the blue helmet group and peace keeping activities, and second, a commitment to development. over the years, that xhiltment to development has included education activities and cently, totally left off the agenda. i can say what is that? well, it was really the reason, if two reasons. united states has blocked for 60 years, the united states has essentially blocked any activities by the u.n. saying that's our sand box. don't get involved in it. we'll control all those issues and they were aided by the saudis in an alliance of others. so it's been very, very difficult politically for the u.n. to try to get any traction at all on the question of energy. kofi annan tried to open a window on energy and do so as rio plus 10 and came out with an agreement to set up an energy office, but not much had happened with that until ban ki-moon came in. surprisingly, ban ki-moon coming out of south korean foreign ministry where people thought he was going to be dipl

it may not come from the u.n. security council. either the u.s. will act unilaterally or the european union will do something even stronger. there is attention. quite possibly there will be less violence than there would be because the u.n. monitors are in the process of going in, but on the other hand are they just providing cover for the syrian government to carry on under the guise of cooperating? >> ok, thank you very much. it has not been a country for a year, but south sudan is already at work. speaking on a trip to china, the south sudanese leader said sudan had declared war on his country. warplanes continued their bombing raids against border regions today. we have this report. >> south sudan's army is preparing for the possibility of an all-out war with sudan. it has been reinforced along the border. they know -- they are no longer in control. the fighting has not stopped. the country felt president on a visit to china said this was a decisive moment. >> there are warplanes over the country of south sudan. >> at least one civilian was ki

according to russian ambassador to the u.n. to tell you one russian officer will be part of the group heading to syria the resolution that was adopted also calls on all parties in in syria including the opposition to immediately seize all armed violence in all its forms this is what was the sticking point on friday and why the security council was wasn't able to vote on a resolution friday because according to russia's position the u.s. first drafted resolution made many demands of the syrian government and no explicit demands of the syrian opposition the russian ambassador. vitaly churkin said at this critical junction is very very important for all syrian parties including our opposition to comply with the six point peace plan that was laid out by u.n. special envoy kofi annan on this of course also calls for an immediate cease fire and for an inclusive political process in syria in which the opposition groups and the syrian government engage in a dialogue because the russian ambassador said that moscow from the very beginnin

well obviously the u.n. is trying to implement the peace and the ceasefire but the opposition is actually. planting bombs and it's a bloated and today was a horrific day in syria because explosion had. a lot of casualties a lot of people killed a lot of people injured and there was a lot of destruction and so to be frank with you i think the one thing smuggling still going on yesterday was a major incident where the lebanese forces shipment of arms going into syria was a heavy weapon on it so if you look at the direction of the opposition the countries that support the opposition from turkey to. qatar to the united states those. those forces are not really looking for a peace process in syria they looking for ask elation of the violence as collation of the killing and we witnessed a lot of killing today and that issue it's correctly said by the spokesman of the u.n. that they need a process where everybody here to the principle of the healing and i think at this point. qatar is and turkey's and the united st
