backed by their leaders — to settle their long—running dispute. | pay ipaya i pay a lot of money to travel to brighten every day. i think the service we get is ridiculous. the business secretary, greg clark, has travelled to paris as fears for the future of thousands of jobs at vauxhall‘s uk plants grow. he will meet ministers, and members of the peugeot board. thousands of homes have been evacuated in christchurch in new zealand — after two separate fires combined — covering nearly five thousand acres. in a moment it will be time for sportsday but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. we'll have more on the collapse of that southern rail deal and be getting reaction from labour's transport spokesman, as well as commuters in brighton. we'll hear from president trump as he announces a new nominee

for labour secretary and launches a fresh attack on the media. and our guests in the paper review at 10:40 tonight are former trade minister lord digbyjones and the broadcaster henry bonsu. now, straight to washington where president trump is holding an impromptu press conference. those are criminal leaks. they will put out by people in agencies, i think you will see it because we have our people, we do not have are people in because we cannot get them approved by the senate. jeff sessions has been approved in justice so we are looking into that seriously, it is a criminal act. when i was called out on mexico, i was shocked because of all this

phone equipment, when i was called up phone equipment, when i was called up on mexico i was really really surprised. but i said, it does not make sense, that will not happen but it wasn't that important a call, i could show it to the world, the president is a fine man. the same thing with australia. that is terrible it was leaked but when i am dealing with the problem of north korea, what happens when i'm dealing with the problems in the middle east, are you folks reporting all of that very very confidential information, very important, at the highest level? i do not want classified information getting out of the public and it was almost a test so i'm dealing with mexico, i am dealing with argentina, we would dealing with mike flynn, this

information is in the washington post and the new york times and i am saying what will happen when i'm dealing with the middle east or really really important subjects like north korea? we need to stop it. that is why it is a criminal penalty. inaudible question the leaks are real, the lea ks inaudible question the leaks are real, the leaks are real. you know what they said, the leaks are absolutely real. the news is fake because so much of the news is fake. one thingi because so much of the news is fake. one thing i felt it was important to do andi one thing i felt it was important to do and i hope we can correct it, there is no one i have more respect for but... damn good reporters, it is important to me and especially in

this position, it is important. i do not mind bad stories. i can handle a bad story better than anybody. as long as it is true. over the course of time, i will make mistakes and i am ok with that but i am not ok when it is fake and i watch cnn, so much anger and hatred and the hatred, i do not watch it any more because... it is ok,jim, do not watch it any more because... it is ok, jim, you will have your chance. i watch that, too. it is ok, jim, you will have your chance. iwatch that, too. ifeel it is ok, jim, you will have your chance. i watch that, too. i feel it should be straight, it would be more interesting, i know how good the ratings are right now but i think they would be better. you have a low approval rating than congress, i think that is right. is that one right? i think they have lower than congress. honestly, the public would

appreciate it, i would appreciate it. i don't mind bad stories when it is true but we have administration whether democrats are making it difficult, i think we are setting a record in the time of approval of the cabinet. the numbers are crazy, some were approved immediately, nice to have a lot of people waiting. they are delaying and you look at the mess over there and they have nothing going. the only thing they can do is delay. they would be better served by approving and making sure they are happy and everybody is good and sometimes i know president obama lost three or four and you lose them on the way and that is ok but i think they would be better served if they went through the process quickly. this is pure delay tactics. and everybody

understands it. go ahead. inaudible question i have nothing to do with russia. i have no deals there. when wikileaks which i have nothing to do with comes out and happens to give, they are not giving classified information. they are giving staff said in an office about hillary cheating in the debates which nobody mentions! nobody mentions hillary received the questions to the debates! can you imagine seriously, can you imagine if i received the questions? it would be the electric chair! ok? he should be put in the electric chair. you would call for the reinstitution of the death penalty! maybe not you, john! inaudible question no, i didn't.

excuse me... ifired mike because of what is said to mike pence. mike was doing hisjob. he was calling g— % his ——§7— 533ng so = % his 57 gig—2:35? so it = withi if' withi if he | withi if he i would ’ with 7 if he i would - directed i. if he i would - directed him if he i would - directed him to 1e it, i would have directed him to do it, i would have directed him to do it if he wasn't, i didn't stare wrecked him but i would have done because that is his job. wrecked him but i would have done because that is hisjob. —— didn't direct him. i watched doctor charles the other night saying he was doing hisjob. and i agreed with him. since then i have watched many others say that. i did not directing but i would have done if he didn't do that. inaudible question 0k, ask jeff zucker how he got his job. we

do have other people, you do have other people and your ratings are not as good as the other people. go ahead. you said wikileaks was revealing information during the election cycle, . .. you revealing information during the election cycle,... you loved wikileaks, you said. in the campaign press c0 nfe re nce wikileaks, you said. in the campaign press conference you called on the russians to find the missing 30,000 e—mails and! russians to find the missing 30,000 e—mails and i wonder... russians to find the missing 30,000 e-mails and i wonder... she was missing 33 and that got extended. i did say 30 but it was higher.m sounds as though you do not have much credibility here when it comes to leaking if that is something you encouraged in the campaign. a fair question. i will do one at a time. so, in one case you are talking about highly classified information, any other case you are talking about

john saying bad things about the boss. i would have fired him if it was me. he said terrible things about her but it wasn't classified. regardless, if you look at the rnc, we had a strong, at my suggestion, at my suggestion, i know something about this world, i said i want a do ff ' 7 do not 7 to do not 7 to be do not 7 emil want to be hacked and we did that and you have seen they tried to hack us and you have seen they tried to hack us and failed. the dnc did not do that. and if they did it, they could not have been hacked. but terrible things came in. the only thing i think is unfair is some of the things, when i heard some of those things, when i heard some of those things, i picked up the papers and said this would be front page and it wasn't even in the papers. again, if

i had that happen to me, it would be the biggest story in the history of publishing or head of newspapers! i would have been the headline. think of it, they gave her the questions toa of it, they gave her the questions to a debate and she should have reported herself, why didn't hillary clinton announced i am sorry, but i have been given the questions to a debate or town hall and ifeel that it is inappropriate and i want to turn in cnn for not doing a good job. ifi turn in cnn for not doing a good job. if i could turn in cnn for not doing a good job. if! could follow turn in cnn for not doing a good job. if i could follow up, you said the leaks are real but the news is fake. i do not understand, it seems there was a disconnect, if the information coming from the leaks is real then how can the stories be fake? the is fake. the public read newspapers and ctv and they do not know if it is true or false. they

are not involved. i am involved. i am involved. so, i know when you are telling the truth and when you are not. i see many many untruths and
