It’s the last day of August and it still feels like a long summer break at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
According to Colum Lynch, UN correspondent for the Washington Post and author of the Foreign Policy blog Turtle Bay, the UN headquarters are pretty quiet and empty, even at a time when the crisis in Syria is deepening.
Lynch tells anchor Marco Werman who is on vacation and who is not.
