UNGA: From Erdogan's stroll in Central Park to Mitsotakis' key address

Today we’re looking back at a hectic week in New York, where world leaders gathered for the 77th UN General Assembly.

Petros Kasfikis, the Washington DC correspondent for the Athens News Agency and Greece’s Mega TV who covered the UNGA in New York, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest analysis.
