    President Obama addressed the UN General Assembly today, promising the US will stay engaged in the Middle East for the rest of his term. Also, the President's EPA has proposed rules for new power plants that are just the first battle in what’s shaping up as "a war on coal." We hear about domestic and international politics and new findings about global warming.
