nine months after taking on office, donald trump is aggressively dismantling what barack obama did during eight years. against advice of key allies, the president declared that iran was no longer in compliance with the nuclear deal negotiated during the obama administration. the fate of that agreement is now uncertain. >> and mr. obama's signature health care law also under fire. thursday mr. trump ordered an end to government subsidies to help low income americans buy health insurance. for more, here is ryan nobles in washington. >> reporter: friday was promise keeping day at the white house. and for the trump administration, that meant going after some of barack obama's key accomplishments. president trump is trying to make good on major campaign promises, with two key policy moves that could have dramatic consequenc

consequences. >> i'm announcing a new strategy to address the full range of iran's key destructive actions. >> reporter: mr. trump unveiling a new approach to the nuclear agreement, decertifying the agreement and forcing congress to come up with a plan within 60 days. >> we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence, more terror and the very real threat of iran he's nu's nuclea breakout. >> reporter: and he promised new economic sanctions and sanctions against the revolutionary guard. and he if does not like the conscience congressional plan, he is prepared to pull out. ? >> if we can't work with the ally, then the agreement will be terminated. >> reporter: this matches the president's strong condemnation of the iran deal on the iran deal. >> forget about deals between countries. this is one of the dumbest

contracts i've ever seen. >> reporter: but pulling on out completely could potentially isolate the u.s. from key allies that support the iran agreement. it also stands in contrast to the recommendation of key advisers like defense secretary james mattis who argued the u.s. is better off in the deal. >> absent indications to the contrary, it is something the president should consider staying with. >> reporter: and it comes despite the fact that the administration concedes wr s irs lived up to their end of the bargain. >> my view is they can in technical compliance of the nuclear arrangement. >> reporter: while the moved may make allies and diplomats nervous, it will likely be welcomed by the president's supporters. enthusiastically cheered during his speech at the conservative values voters summit. in addition to pointing to his plan with iran as an example of his attempt to make good on campaign promises, the president bragged about his decision to withhold cost sharing reduction payments to insurance companies as a first step in repealing and replacing obamacare.

republicans have argued for some time that the payments to insurance companies were unlawful. today mr. trump argued that the payments were just making insurance companies rich. >> as far as the subsidies are concerned, i don't want to make the insurance companies rich. all right but democrats contend that the white house is purposely attempting to dismantle obamacare in an attempt to force congress to take action, a move that could result in many americans paying higher insurance rates. democratic leaders nancy pelosi and chuck schumer called the move, quote, a spiteful act of vast pointless sabotage, leveled at working families and the middle class in every corner of america. the president argues he is just following through on his campaign pledge. >> in the last ten months, we have followed through on one promise after another. >> reporter: and it's not a surprise that president trump is focusing on health care and iran. a key theme was an implied promise that he would do

everything he could to undo the obama legacy. he is now taking direct aim at two of barack obama's most significant accomplishments. ryan nobles, cnn. many u.s. allies reacted with dismay at mr. trump's decision on the deal. they say that they will continue to honor the international agreement, but iranian government has issued a dire warning that any u.s. action to on dismantle the deal would be a strategic mistake. the iranian president was especially harsh in his criticism of mr. trump. >> translator: this is an international multilateral deal that has been ratified by the u.n. security council. it is a u.n. document. is it possible for the president to unilaterally decertify this

important international deal? apparently he is not in the law. >> mr. trump's declaration of noncompliance conflicts with the view of international inspectors and his own secretary of state. the thorny issue now goes to the u.s. congress which has 60 days according to on mmr. trump to p tougher legislation that satisfies president trump, that includes taking a harder line on iran's ballistic missile program which was not part of the original nuclear deal. >> let's bring in a senior lecturer in international relations in london. leslie, mr. trump wants to get tougher on iran and he wants congress and the american allies to get tougher on iran, but he actually hasn't laid out how specifically. >> that's right. what wire mie're missing is any alternative approach, any

strategic thinking. and what is at the heart of this of course is the internal agreement within the united states which is completely separate of course from the iran nuclear deal which requires president trump to go to congress every 90 days, he's had to do this twice already, and for him it's terribly humiliating to have to certify, which he's done twice, he didn't do it in the third round, to have to publicly certify iran's compliance which of course has been certified internationally multiple times by the iaeap b. but for this president, i think it's simply something he couldn't bear do again. but he's giving up his executive power over this relationship and he is turning it back to congress and that is a difficult position. so we have senators corker and tom cotton who will now be working on a proposed bill, but it puts the u.s. in a very difficult position and i think one key here might be in this

negotiation in congress to give the president more space. and i've heard of proposals out there to perhaps only require the president to return to congress every 180 days, which would of course deal with this problem of the president's unwillingness to go on the public record and have to actually certify that iran is indeed certifying with the deal, which it is. >> the fundamental question is does mr. trump want to dulactua leave the deal if the deal doesn't become more favorable to the u.s. in his words? and he has leverage. we know he's capable of pulling out of these deals regardless of the sconce defenconsequences. think of the paris accord. so does that give him leverage both with respect to congress and with respect to iran to for them to accept a tougher deal? >> it didn't seem to be giving him a lot of leverage right now over either iran or perhaps more

notably over the european countries that were deeply involved in these negotiations and remain heavily committed to it, have gone on record yesterday saying they remain committed to it. and as well as the eu. but with respect to congress, of course he's put congress in the position where congress now has to decide and congress was never originally very favorable towards this agreement, which is why we're in this position in the first place because they then enacted this very separate iranian review acts which is really again and internal domestic issue within the united states. but it's causing very serious international problems now. but it gives congress some leverage, it gives trump some leverage over congress, but it's not clear what the end game is. because if the bill passes, which is a very big if, it could of course lead to a position where it's very clear that the

united states has in fact violated the terms of the iran agreement and then the question is then what happens. does europe continue to move forward, does iran stick with the deal, in which case the u.s. becomes very marginalized, it becomes isolated, it loses access to the intelligence that it is getting and it puts the u.s. on the back foot. so it is a negotiating strategy, but remember, the risks are tremendously high. if iran were actually to restart its nuclear program, withdraw from the deal, this is a tremendously new and dangerous world that we'd be living in, not one in a anybothat anybody see. >> could iran accept a tougher deal? >> iran has made it very clear that it has absolutely no intention of renegotiating this deal to include the sorts of thing that the president has talked about, including measures on the ballistic missile program or iran's activity in the region. and remember that if iran was going to accept the tougher

deal, that deal would have been agreed. secretary kerry worked very hard as did president obama, there were all sorts of alter florida differen alter in a sieves considered. this is what was gettable. it's not as if they were naive to the broader issues. but this is the deal that was -- that they were able to chaefr a achieve and it is a very good deal and it goes back to the question of alternatives. and it's clearly the best possible alternative and people have been sticking with the deal. >> this is the deal that was gettable. all right. we have 60 days to see what happen, 60 days for congress to make up its mind, whether impose new sanctions or get tougher on iran. leslie, thank you. new developments in the investigation of alleged russian meddling in the u.s. election. >> former white house chief of staff reince priebus sat down with special counsel robert mueller's team. jim sciutto has more from

washington. >> reporter: we're learning that roberts mueller's team has now interviewed reince priebus former chief of staff to the president, this interview took place here in washington at the offices of robert miller. reince priebus says it was volunta voluntary, but it shows that this investigation now extending to the senior most advisers to the president. and priebus is key not only because he was chief of staff, but he was during the campaign the chaired man of the republican national committee when russian meddling was taking place. the list does not end there. it is our understanding that the special counsel also wants to speak with the current communications director hope hicks, don mcgahn and as well as sean spicer. he is looking into the firing of james comey and michael flynn as well as a meeting on air force one that took place as the "new

york times" was first reporting a meeting in june 2016 between donald trump jr. and russian lawyers who were promising damaging information on hillary clinton. all of this showing how seriously the special counsel is taking those various lines of investigation. jim sciutto, cnn, washington. taliban linked group is being accused of rape and authorizing the murder of a baby for the family it held hostage for five years. joshua boyle and his american wife were captured in 2012 while backpacking in afghanistan. >> boyle and coleman arrived in canada friday with three children after pakistani forces treed them just the day before. boyle appeared angry and shaken as he accused his kidnappers of these horrendous crimes. >> stupidity and evil of the haqqani networks, kidnapping of a pilgrim and his heavily pregnant wife engaged in helping ordinary villagers in taliban

controlled regions of afghanistan was eclipsed only by stupidity and evil of authorizing the murder of my infant daughter as retaliation for my repeated refusal to accept an offer that the criminal acts of the that chaqq network have made to me and stupidity and evil of the subsequent rape of my wife not as a lone action, but assisted by the captain of the guard and s supervised by the commandant. god willing this litany will be the epitaph of the haqqani network. >> that is joshua boyle. we'll probably hear more about their ordeal. they were just freed again. >> as they detail what life was like for five years. jeel take we'll take a short break.

firefighters are contending with strong winds as they continue to battle the flames. 36 people confirmed dead and the flames have consumed nearly 220 acres. >> firefighters are working around the clock to contain the 17 blazes. miguel marquez has more. >> reporter: in addition to the number of people who have died, there is concern that number may grow because there are so many people unaccounted for and officials are only now able to get in to those neighborhoods to try to search for people who may still be in the ruins of their homes. this is what firefighters are dealing with a lot on, fire out in the middle of the forest, trees that are down on, you see this one has brought down an electrical line. it is a possibility because of the high winds and the fire that we've had, the electrical lines like this created many of the fires that we have right now. firefighters have been working extraordinarily hard clearing lines, trying to fortify the

lines that they have already cut so that if and when big winds come over the next 48 hours, they will be tooable to withsta it and keep the fire from crossing into new communities. but right notice, it's anyone's guess. the firefighters have been working tirelessly 24 hours a day trying to create protection lines so the fire can't jump it, but there are predictions for winds coming as high as 60 kilometers an hour, that could force that fire that exists right now over those lines into whole new communities and wipe them out. miguel marquez, cnn, in sonoma county, california. >> and we're getting video from the first night the fires raged. this body cam footage was released by the sonoma county sheriff's office showing a deputy responding to the emergency. he almost gets trapped by the flames. he runs through raining ash, drives through walls of flames.

>> look at him driving through that. at one point he rescues a woman from her burning home. listen to this. >> where you at? over here. >> come. >> she's disabled. >> let me get her feet. >> her husband is right behind you. we're doing a carry-out. >> ready? >> hold up, hold up. house on fire. >> come on, you got to get her up. got to get her up. >> okay. hold on. there we go. watch your leg, watch your leg. watch your leg, watch your leg. sir, i got to go! >> i mean my goodness, people just did not realize because it came up so fast, right, that this is it. you have to get out now. >> it's incredible how fast these things can spread. 40 kilometers per hour quite easily, 30 miles per hour

especially on some of the steep slopes that they have across central california. weather conditions on friday allowed for of if firefighters to gain some ground, which is good news, but that good go downhill today because winds are picking back up and the relative humidity is dropping off. i have over video you have to see. check this out. i had to pinpoint this particular video because it's something i've never seen before. this tree was completely hallowed out by the flames that spread through the region. and you can just see the inside of that hollowed out tree with the orange embers in it. you can imagine picking up one of those embers by the 50-mile-an-hour wind gusts and seeing that travel and starting new blazes and new fires several feet away. we still have 20 million americans with a red flag warning today from the central

and northern regions of california all the way to the southwestern regions just outside of los angeles. and even though we did gain some ground on the containment for some of the larger fires, like i mentioned friday was a good day, 44% for the tubbs fire, 44 for the atlas fire, these are some of the larger fires that have burned so many structures and caused the fatalities, we are gaining ground on that, but all that work that we have achieved could go downhill because the wind will pick up from the wrong direction too by the way, a north/northeasterly wind means winds will come off the mountain sides. we know what happens when that takes place. we dry the wind out. we also heat up the temperatures at the base of the hill where some of the most violence fires could spread. we do have critical fire dangers in effect today for the central valley regions. i've pinpointed some of the higher wind gusts today that we're expecting. look at u.s. city, 43,

sacramento 49 miles per hour. this is a significant challenge for firefighters because the embers that get blown around become so erratic. and check this out, too, mother nature decided i'll take away all of the available moisture in the atmosphere and really lower those relative humidity values. so all the renlg station vegeta fueling the flames. it's amazing to see the embers grow so brightly. >> bizarre the whole story. just think about what people have lost there. all right, thank you. another area trying to come back, more than a million puerto ricans are still without clean water, some people are so desperate they are drinking water pumped from hazardous waste sites. >> and many water sources won't be safe until infrastructure is

repaired and power is restored. but the problem is more than 90% of puerto ricans were without power on friday. and that is up 8% from the previous day. >> doesn't make any sense. acting u.s. secretary of the army visited the island and he is leading more than 10,000  soldiers on the island, but he says it is clear tremendous cal thinks still remain. for many 4puerto rican, he yes, it is a daily struggle just to survive. >> ed lavendera has more on the routines becoming commonplace. >> reporter: along a winding road high in the mountains south on of san juan, this stream of water is a lifeline. a pit stop now in the daily routine for thousands of people. beverly and her husband pull up under the makeshift waterspouts, pvc pipes dipped into the stream overhead to divert the water into a massive tank.

>> he wakes up at 4:00 in the morning, he comes here and fills up and he takes to our neighbors. >> reporter: the water isn't safe to drink, but people use to take showers, wash clothes and cleaning. and for some like adrian santiago who have lost their job since the storm, delivering the water to the residents is a way of making extra money. he delivers the water to nelson vast y vasquez who living several miles away. he has generators to power the basic necessities and he says it's like traveling back in time. >> you aour great grandmothers to carry cans of water on their hip from the lake to wash clothes. >> reporter: the roadway into this neighborhood was washed away by the storm. there are about on 40 families that live on the other side, so

they are having to figure out ways to get in and out and this is one of those makeshift ways, a path so people can walk in and out of their own neighborhood. and on the other side of the road collapse is where we found elizabeth diaz caring to her newborn baby boy. diaz gave birth two days before hurricane maria struck and when she left the hospital, she walked out into the ruins left by the storm. her only focus now is caring for her baby who was premature prematurely. her house where she normally lives is unlivable right now because of the hurricane damage, so she is living here, no place to take a newborn baby. here many residents that i they are settling into the reality that a normal day isn't even a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel yet. one man put this way, we're prepared for a dark christmas.

there will be no holiday lights decorating the island this year. ed lavendera, cnn, puerto rico. this just into cnn, the u.s.-led coalition in syria says 85% of raqqah, the self declared capital of the isis caliphate has been liberated. a statement says they are making steady progress and that they removed roughly 100 isis soldiers from the city after they surrendered. they added that there is more fighting to come with no hard time line for when the city will be fully free. and a landmark deal to keep iran from developing nuclear wins now hang in the balance. still ahead, tehran reacts to president trump's decision not to recertify the international iran nuclear deal. also ahead, after days of conflicting reports, authorities investigating the las vegas massacre have finally nailed down some key details of the

group says its members authorized the murder of his baby daughter. joshua boyle also told reporters that the militants raped his wife. boyle and his wife were kidnapped in afghanistan in 2012. pakistani forces freed them and their children thursday. the team investigating alleged russian meddling in the 2016 election have spoken to a potentially major witness, former white house chief of staff reince priebus. he was interviewed by robert mueller's team on friday. pea bus is o priebus is one of several staffers identified as witnesses. iran leaders say they will repart t restart their program if iran scraps the deal. president trump refused to recertify the agreement. he vowed to terminate it if congress doesn't impose tougher restrictions on tehran. >> the iranian government has been extremely critical of mr. trump's unilateral decision on the nuclear deal.

an official statement warns that any u.s. action against the agreement would be met with a strong and unified reciprocal reaction. >> the statement called the nuclear deal, quote, an outstanding achievement in contemporary diplomacy, but hard liners say mr. trump's action proves the u.s. cannot be trusted. we get more from cnn's frederik pleitgen in the iranian capital. >> reporter: president trump's speech has caused anger and frustration especially among those in power here in iran, but also it has caused reactions in the political sphere as well. iran's president rohani came out shortly after president trump spoke and gave a speech of his own absolutely blasting the u.s. president on the one hand saying the u.s. can't unilaterally leave the deal because of course it's not a deal between iran and the u.s., but between iran, the u.s. and many other countries. and on the other hand also saying iran would stay within the nuclear agreement but also

if the u.s. plays its role and does not violate the terms of the agreement. one of the other things that president rohani also said, he said that the is speech that trump gave today shows that, quote, the u.s. government is against the iranian people, of course playing to the fact that president kept talking about the iranian people being oppressed by what he calls the regime here in tehran. it was very fiery speech that rohani gave and certainly one that was watched by many people here in this country. and when you look at the reactions that we're seeing from ordinary iranians, we spoke to both moderates and hard liners here in the country, and among the moderates, you could sense the disappointment that they feel at this new stance that the united states is showing. many of them had high hopes after the nuclear agreement of economic benefits because of the agreement, of an opening up towards the west and possibly even better relations with the united states. on the other hand, you have the hard liners who at this point

are somewhat fwlogloating about of this, they were always critical and now they are saying that we always told you that the u.s. can't be trusted and this is proven once again. one of the other very important things that the iranian government has said, not just president rohani, but other government agencies as well, is that tlef defended they have de revolutionary guard after the u.s. declared it a terrorist organization. many government agencies here have come out and said that they believe that the revolutionary guard is an integral part of this country and they certainly seem to be standing by it. fred pleitgen, cnn, tehran. nearly two weeks after the las vegas massacre where 58 are were killed when a gunman opened fire on a festival, investigators still have a lot of questions. >> but they are getting a better grasp on how it all unfolded. brian todd reports. >> reporter: in an emotional and at times combative news conference, the las vegas sheriff once again revised his

story on how the las vegas massacre went down. defending his previous time line as the result of a com on plex investigation and not incompetence. >> the word incompetence has been brought forward and i am absolutely offended with that characterization. this is a very dynamic event, very big event. thousands of people involved. humans involved and documentation. >> reporter: police now say they believe hotel security guard jesus campos happened upon paddock at the same time that he began shooting on the crowd. not six minutes before it began as the sheriff had said on monday. >> mr. campos received his wounds in close proximity to 2205. >> reporter: the sheriff's revised time line once again suggests campos's encounter with the shooter may have led police to paddock much sooner. that is because campos had tried

to enter the 32nd floor from the stairwell next to the shooter he's room. police now say, only to find it had been barricaded. >> he had screwed shut the door with a piece of metal and screws in the stairwell going out to the mall way. because he knew we would be coming out that door to on gain entry to his door. so he tried to barricade it. >> reporter: police say campos waug was forced to take another route to the 32nd floor and once in the hallway, the shooter opened fire. also, new information from the sheriff on paddock's tactics. he now says at one point the killer turnedis r. his guns away from concert goers when he saw police arriving. >> it is readily apparent to me that he adjusted his fire and directed it toward the police vehicles. >> reporter: with tears welling in his eyes -- >> excuse me for my emotion. >> reporter: he said his officers rushed to the scene and were trying to save lives. he visited some of those officers this week.

>> sustained four separate gunshot wounsds. and the reason i bring this one up, he asked me if he could go book of back to work today. >> reporter: but the biggest mystery continues to swirl. >> the biggest mystery is the motive. it's just very odd that we don't know why. when we look at not just mass shooting, but anything, we generally know what the motive is fairly quickly. and the mystery to me is that here we are almost two weeks out and we have no idea why this guy did this. i think that he didn't want us to know the motive otherwise we would have found it out by now. >> reporter: and investigators are still doggedly trying to piece that together saying they are trying to establish a time line of paddostephen paddock's and anyone he was ever associated with. brian todd, cnn, washington. we turn now to the scandal gripping hollywood. motion picture academy will meet

saturday and possibly hold a vote to take weinstein's membership away. >> that would be a huge blow to weinstein who has already been fired from his job after widespread allegations of sexual misconduct. sgland being sgland. >> and actors continue to raise their voices over the culture of silence of sexual thharassment hollywood. jason carroll reports. >> reporter: for years rose caoen was known for his hit tv series and movie, but now in the spotlight for accusing harvey weinstein of sexual misconduct. the "new york times" reports in 1997 after mcgowan appeared in a movie scream, she reached a settlement after an alleged incident involving him in a hotel room. weinstein denied any wrong

page was not suspended because of her weinstein rants, but because she had violated their poll is ciicy by posting a priv phone number. whatever the case, her account was restored the next day. >> we can rally communities very quickly, so that is what rose is doing. >> reporter: a former hollywood a little like so many others knew of weinstein's behavior. >> just sort of an accepted evil. >> reporter: mcgowan continues to shame those who says allowed weinstein's misconduct to continue for years tweeting you all knew. and to use her platform to advocate for women like tippy of hitchcock fame. >> i don't think it will ever stop. >> reporter: she alleged her experiences of sexual assault from alfred hitchcock. >> i told him to stop it and i,
