Taking the podium today will be President Obama speaking from the U.N. General Assembly at around 10:10 a.m. ET but you can live stream the President’s address below. Kicking off the 68th General Assembly general debate section of the entire event will be Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-Moon followed by President of this years Assembly John W. Ashe, then President of Brazil Mrs. Dilma Rousseff and finally President Obama.

It is during the General Debate of the Assembly that each world leader is given a forum from which they can explain to the international community their respective ideas for curtailing worldly atrocities or promoting peaceful agendas.

Watch the live stream of President Obama’s speech at the U.N. General Assembly at 10:10 am ET:

Sure to be noted by our own Commander in Chief will be items related to Syria and the crisis still unfolding within (and across) its borders, peace and disarmament talks with the new President of Iran Hasan Rouhani, and of course broader Development Goals that each U.N. General Assembly member has undertaken since 2000 and how far they’ve come in terms of achieving them.

It will certainly be interesting to hear what both Presidents Obama and Rouhani have to say in regards to each other and their country as U.N. General Assemblies of past have proven to be more of an area for the President of both countries to square off against each other.

The Assembly is set to the backdrop of the eight Millennium Development Goals (covering poverty, women’s rights, the environment, child mortality, primary education, HIV/AIDS, development and maternal health) which were established in 2000 with the goal to achieve them internationally by the end of 2015. Ashe called this year’s Assembly “pivotal” as member states work in the face of the looming deadline. The goals will be discussed in three “high-level” talks and three thematic debates in order for leaders to offer ideas on how to achieve them and define them post-2015.
