World leaders convene at the UN
Emmanuel Macron, president of France, addresses the 77th session of the General Assembly at United Nations headquarters, Sept. 20, 2022.
Leaders from around the world are gathering in New York this week for the UN General Assembly. It’s the first time leaders gather together since the start of the pandemic in 2020. And in Puerto Rico, residents are facing the collapse of the electrical grid and a lack of clean water in the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona. Also, on Tuesday night in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin is to speak to the nation about Ukraine. The last time he did this was on the eve of the Russian invasion in February. Plus, the lead singer of Ukrainian band Antytila is on the front lines.
