Our top story today: day one of the United Nations General Assembly speeches. As of this writing, we should have heard from six leaders, but thanks to a Moammar Gadhafi's seemingly interminable address, we are about an hour behind schedule. After U.S. President Obama's speech, Colonel Gadhafi started a disjointed address that included mentions of swine flu, the Panama Canal, ancient Rome and why the United Nations is not a legitimate body, among many topics. We are hearing reports of diplomats asleep in the chairs and heads of state walking out. We'll go live to New York for analysis with our senior U.N. Correspondent Richard Roth. We will also cross over live to Suzanna Malveaux to ask about Barack Obama's first United Nations Assembly address. Also today, the latest on the tense situation in Honduras. Our John Zarella is in neighboring El Salvador and will join us live. OUsted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya is still holed up inside the Brazilian embassy in the country's capital and there are reports of violence between Zelaya supporters and government backers. If times permits, we will bring you the latest business and weather headlines, including a rising death toll associated with the historic flooding in the U.S. state Georgia. See you at the IDesk!
