12:04 am
ability to broadcast to compete internationally. >> let's get more on this fromy birmingham. and founder and editor, web site in the middle east and u.s. foreign policy. thank you very much joining us this morning. let me askzv you first about president trump and his tweets. he's been tweeting over the weekend directly most of his ang -- directing most of his÷ú anger at the federal judge in washington state. have we ever seen other presidencies clash with the judiciary this way. >> oh, yes,÷ú we've seen presidencies clash often disagreeing with the decision. we had a critical point, you might remember the 1970sç when rich nixon fought and criticized the courts trying to keep his tr"é+iew. just this takes to an unprecedented level. he didn't criticize the judge
12:05 am
who suspended the visa ban. he called him aç so-called jud. what he effectively said on twitter. if there's a terrorist attack on u.s., the judges will be blame to ÷úblame. we have not seen that before. >> the federal state is going to argue that shouldn't second guessing presidential policy on security matters. can you bña' that in court. can you beat that argument in court? >> yes, there are two immediate areas that were flagged up when the circuit court of appeals we're not going to reimpose, the first is, they said, look, we want to see the national security tapes. show us that these tens ofç thousands of people that you're blocking from u.s. pose a threat. secondly, national security is not the only constitutional issue here. there is something called due process u!law. remember these people already have their visas. they have gone through a whole series of legal steps up to 24 months to get them. can you suddenly just revoke them almostzv on a whim and not
12:06 am
violate their rights over the 14th amendment. >> yeah, many of our viewers may know this. the court of appealsç liberal court. and i suspect got their faxes in? >> yes and no. people are playing in terms of ere. at the end of the day, any court has to establish its decision on the basis of merit. he's already experienced judges tonym circuit court of appeals they're not just simply tweeting a sudden opinion. so i think we'll see what they say and then we'll have another round which willht go to suprem court. here is the political question. if the court of appeals says that the ban on stays and people can continue toç come in, that puts basically the balance -- it puts the challenge to the trump administration and i think it open up divisions f.ym the trum administration isn't able to enforce the executive order while this goes all the way to the supreme court, this is a
12:07 am
huge victory for president trump and his chiefzs-rategist steve bannon. >> and i think, those divisions are already -- we can see this divisions within the republican party is joining us from ç england, thank you very much. great having you on the show. >> thanks. now president trump is announcing it could take longer to roll out replacement to obama care that he's actually said in the past. >> he told fox news the answer to replace imposing him is verys complicated. >> can americans in 2017 expect a new hillary clinton plan rolled out by the trump >> in the process and maybe it will take until sometimes until next year. we're certainly going to be in the process. very complicated. very complicated. obama care is aa you have to remember, obama care doesn't work. we're putting in a wonderful plan. it's statutorily takes a while to get. we'll putç it in fairly soon. i think that, yes, i would like

12:09 am
quarter. at that point theç patriots we the only ones to believe they could win this game. everyone thought this thing was over. this is going to go down as one of the greatest games in nfú history. probably the greatest game ever in terms of super bowl. tom brady is the greatest quarterback to win the game. it was a roughç start for him here in the second quarter. he threw the interception to robert al ferd who took it back to touchdown. it was u!21-0, everyone thugt i was over. no team had ever come back. but the patriots stuck with it. they kept driving in here in the fourth quarter downym by a scor when edelman comes one the greatest catch in super bowl history. they are keeping the ball off the ground. i don't know how he did it.

12:11 am
for 18 zvmonths. he has been at the game all season until today. she was in attendance. we saw some emotional moments from tom brady when he saw his family come on the field.u! he broke down you see him there kissing his wife and his mom right there. she's wearing the brady's lady shirt right there. brady very emotional after this game. and another reason this is important to brady all the things he went through. he wouldn't talk about it much. for patriots' nation, this has been theç revenge tour as patriots fan they got their revenge commissioner today. they're shaking his hand. finally whenç he took the stag. but fans very happy they got this win. they can say they got the revenge for the whole deflate game saga when he wasym suspend for the first four games of the season. >> i can see the brady's lady's selling on facebook. >> it's aç good catchy phrase. now israel prime minister will

welcome back, the controversial travel ban is still on hold. that÷ú basically means people wh valid visas can travel to u.s. for now. >> it could change within the next few days or even hours, ym though. an appeals court is expected to rule an extension executive order after both sides filed their argument. hereç is more. >> the ninth circuit court of appeals they've ruled on one thing. the department of justice÷ú cant have emergency administrative stay which says will you allow the travel ban back in place while you consider the next part and the justice said, no, we want to consider this whole thing. we are going to consider the second part of what you asked, which is, will youç allow the travel ban back in place during
12:17 am
the appeals process? that's where they are right now. they've asked the other side, that is washington and minnesota tv go ahead and file paperwork so they can read the brief on all sides and make a final decision. they're expecting all of that to happen 6:00 p.m. monday=) east time. or 3:00 p.m. eastern california time and then we would likely have a decision by monday evening on this. if they decide for thezv department of justice, then seattle and minnesota could respond and take it all the way to the supreme court or if they decide against the department of justice,lp the department of justice could go to the supreme court. in the end this case may likely head back to the federal court in washington who had put these temporary halts on the travel ban while it decides the merits of this case. >> the travel ban executive order alsoç stopped the entran of refugees. since it's on hold,ç refugees
12:18 am
could come in on sunday. >> they'll have to be booked through the organization would only include refugees that have been vetted and approved formy entry into the u.s. now,sga brb ga bree ella. the people you work with gave you in response to this ymban. how did it effect them in their life? >> you know, there are here in kenya aboutç half a million refugees. if you look at the four countries there are about three million refugees that are hostess in ÷úethopia alone. 26,000 of those refugees come into kenya along have been stopped from traveling, as÷ú we speak. these are people that have been

in the resettlement program for years that have been vetted extensively that have undergone medical checks and just aboutymo board a plane to the united states. their hopes have been, their rights have been trampled upon. theyç now are in limbo wonderi what is next for them. >> it's on hold to get into the u.s. or how many of them are taking >> let's hope that there is a window. obviously, the court order came through this weekend.my i understand that they're planning to resume the flight. so we're very hopeful that there were opportunities for refugees tov: still make use of this resettlement program. but that would only solve the problem for the ones that are in the resettlement program. this is a çlong-term program. this is small contribution united states makes and other western nations make to
12:20 am
alleviate the burden -- the heavy burdenç on some of the fr african countries that are actually hosting the majority of refugees here in the region, ouv of 3 million, 26,000 that are in the resettlement program. this needs to continue. the ban needs to be more permanently and not only ç temporarily. >> if it's not lifted, what's the solution here, do you start applying to other countries or do you keep them somewhere while they÷ú work out what the option are? >> there are, in general, about three solutions for them.ç the first one is refugees to get legal status for what they have fought protection. in kenya, to become a kennian ç citizen. second solution on the table is return. however, currently most refugees particularly for example fromu! somalia, there's a building

12:34 am
u.s. election saying the device in this in the u.s. doesn'tp qualify the west to criticize russian democracy. along those lines of why should we be doing the same thing when .s. it's surprising now to see that from a sitting u.s. president. but the first time since he's beenzv e lellected and getting of attention. >> we heard over the weekend and mike pence, vice president who spoke about ukraine. i want to show our viewers exactly what he said. >> we're watching. and very troubled by the increaseaostilities over the past week in eastern ukraine. i know the president had a conversation with vladimir putin. >> did he seem troubled? >> they spoke at that time about ukraine and i expect those conversations are going to be on going.
12:35 am
that conversation. i know he mentioned that it increased hostilities. do you know what else they said about conflict inç ukraine? we don't know yet exactly how the u.s. is going to respond to this and this is something that the russians are watching 1eclosely. i think the major concern here is how the ukraine crisis will play into what they hope for to be an improved relationship with night from a permanent politician saying, mr. trump should avoid to fall intoútae ukrainian trap. it did not come hostage. the ukrainian prime minister. now, there's, you know, we don't know exactlyç how the u.s. administration is going to report this. we know the violence in ukraine has been escalating and they're very much accusing the ukraine ofb spiking that violence in order to get attention and perhaps money from the u.s.

that's very much the rhetoricym that we're hearing here in russia. >> much has been made of the eí"é$ow is the kremlin interpre what many consider what you were talking the mixed messages by this çadministration. >> this is fairly close to the test, this week. maintaining a level ofç optimi. they spoke a few days ago how he felt about that relationship. he said he had never indulged in any real optimism of dramatic ÷ú change. keeping a steady voice on all of this. there were comments over the weekend from the foreign ministers and awe streeian magazine. he said÷ú they were really -- ty didn't know yet how the relationship was going to play out with key members of the trump administration. they were watching to see how they define that objective.
12:37 am
i think, as i said, the ukraine issue is certainly potential sticking point in that relationship. mike pence, though, in his comment on sunday leaving theç door open to potentially lifting sanctions if moscow's position changes, he says. there's still a lot of questions, so far the russians are sbr'taining that level of optimism. >> in moscow, thank you very much. this week could be criticaln get worse. iran started military drills on sunday. u.s. president donald trump >> fox news interview did not clarify what he plans to do about the nuclear deal negotiated under the admitration. >> they have total disregard for our country. they are the number one terrorist state. they're sending money all over the place and weapons and can't so you're not real bullish on iran at this point? >> i think they have total

12:53 am
with the details. do you have a sense of how long this might last? >> you know, it looks like it's going to be the long haul here. by the sheer nature of how complicated it is to get some of these locations, when you think about topography and thev: amou of snow in order of meters. the elevatedzv terrain, top og a -- topography is what we look here, it takes slope of 40 degrees to takesgr(u(sp'ches wh you have the elements in place. and unfortunately that's been the case. when you look at the numbers as far as fatalities and the folks that are çtracked, it is not jt concentrated. there's a village where we know at least 50 fatalities in the last couple of days. but to the west, the area indicated in çyellow. those numbers indicate where we have folks trapped in some of these areas are in accessible because of the nature of the
12:54 am
highways and the landscape and several hundred kilometers you work your way over 20 fatalities as well. when you do the month and run theç numbers on this area, thi expansive area, it is roughly the size of the uk there of how much land it has been seen avalanches scattered about. but, htagain, it's remarkable wt is taking place. i want to show you the elements that we've had come together to create this. because for the avalanche, of course you want a lot of snowç fall. we've had plenty of it and it's been conducive to support this. it's milder temperatures that come in, sleet begin to fall down even freezing rain you get thin layer of ice that forms and that sets the stage here for additional snow to come back when it's colder again at night. this creates unstable layering effect thatç takes place withi avalanches. of course you get what's called overhanging edge of ice because of these layers that are now not bonded well enough páogether. that breaks off if you have
12:55 am
