with the president. good evening, peter. peter: good evening, bret. president biden hoping to flex his diplomatic muscles here in new york. it s unclear how much of the world he has been able to rally so far around these issues that he thinks are the most urgent facing the planet. we are the authors of history. president biden sees two problems as bigger than all the rest. climate change. we don t have much time. and russia s invasion of ukraine. permanent member of the united nations security council invaded its neighbor. peter: but no call to remove russia from the u.n. security council despite renewed warnings of weapons of mass destruction. they re making irresponsible threats to use nuclear weapons. critics say the president s russia talk was missing something. call out the countries that are helping russia. call out the fact that china is helping. call out the fact that iran is sending drones. call out north korea for rockets. ing. among newcomers

standing by. we are live from puerto rico where search and rescue operations for survivors is getting higher, basically the entire island has now power after the hurricane fiona swept over it. i m hallie jackson in washington. i want to bring in ryan riley and form charles coleman. and what do we know about the special master for the mealings and we re hours from getting it started. it will be very busy, with the brooklyn start tomorrow and the ongoing appeal whether or not the classified documents will be part of it. this is really urgent. the documents with the classified markings at the top of them, those are not donald trump s personal property, they do not belong to him, so we shouldn t need a special master and they should be going forward with the investigation. and that s what they brought to the 11th circuit. so i think we should hear relatively quickly from the appeals court about where that is going to go because they really are making sure that that is a m
