The United Nations is warning Syria has become the most dangerous crisis for global peace and security since World War II. U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Kimoon has said that the situation in Syria has "deteriorated beyond all imagination," while Antonio Guterres, head of the U.N. refugee agency, has described it as "the most dangerous crisis for global peace and security since the Second World War." Ban has demanded that both sides stop fighting before attending a proposed conference to find a political solution to the conflict in January. We go to the SyrianTurkish border to speak with Aitor Zabalgogeazkoa of Doctors Without Borders and with Independent correspondent Patrick Cockburn, whose latest report is "Starving in SyriaThe biggest emergency in the U.N.'s history." Cockburn has reported extensively from Syria and recently returned from Iraq.
