Hello everyone and welcome to Amunfor here's what's coming up.

President Biden leads world leaders at the UN summit what will be accomplished.

I speak to a key EU leader, Ireland's Prime Minister Leo Varadka,

and from the Asia Pacific Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong.

Then, no one ever said that this was going to be easy, the offensive.

It was clearly stated that this was going to be a bloody, difficult and hard offensive.

Will Ukraine overwhelm the agenda?

Ayaas, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who warns we're in for a long war.

And Walter Isaacson talks to financial journalist Diana

enriches about how America's financial security is on the ballot in

2024. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Kristian Amantpur at the United Nations in New York where more than 100 world leaders

are gathering to discuss pressing world issues from climate to grinding poverty. President Biden called for cooperation in the face of these challenges.

Here's what he said.

My fellow leaders, we gather once more at an inflection point in world history.

With the eyes of the world upon all of you, all of us, as President of the United States,

I understand the duty my country has to lead in this critical moment.

To work with countries in every region, linking them in common cause, to join together with partners who share a common vision of the future

of the world. But the Russian president Vladimir Putin and the Chinese president President Xi Jinping are missing in action

here. In fact President Biden is the only president and leader of the G of the Security

Council but President Villodia Mere Zelenski is also there and both of the Security Council. But President Villodia Mearselenski is also there,

and both of them stand together at this critical time

as an alliance for the defense of democracy.
