CNN won't cover it. Fox won't cover it. It's doubtful that even MSNBC or any other mainstream media will cover it. Not even the Outdoor Channel will interrupt Bassmasters for this.
But, in the tradition of open discourse and uncensored news at DU, I present to you the link for the UN Webcast website:
http://www.un.org/webcast/#">HERE
Where you will be able to view live statements by UN delegates regarding
boats and possibly sport-fishing accidents.Channels 1 & 2 are dormant at the moment. Channel 5 is LIVE coverage of the UN Human Rights Council. While the UNHRC was scheduled for this meeting in advance, there were no less than 4 condemnations from countries on this morning's breaking human-rights news regarding
boats and possibly sport-fishing accidents. Most of the discussion has been related to their regular agenda, however.
The United Nations Security Council has scheduled an emergency session at 1pm New York time today to discuss breaking international developments regarding boats and possibly sport-fishing accidents. It will likely involve remarks from some or all of the following nations: United States, China, France, Russian Federation, The United Kingdom (which are permanent members) and Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Gabon, Lebanon, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Uganda and Turkey.
It is unclear whether the UN will broadcast the UNSEC meeting but I think there's a pretty good chance it will as breaking stories about
boats and possibly sport-fishing accidents have dominated this morning's news and drawn strong responses from many countries.
1pm Eastern, 10am Pacific
Note, the feed may not start immediately so it's worth checking occasionally between now and then on each of the channels or other channels if they go live.
