on twitter. @howard kurtz. thank you for watching. we are back here next sunday morning. 11 eastern. we will see you then with the latest buzz. >> and we begin with a fox news alert. jeweled protests setting to begin at this noon hour. one year after the so-called unite the right rally turns so horridly deadly and ugly. in charlottesville virginia. it is called the shut it down d.c. coalition already underway. that to counter the unite the right rally being held today. hello everyone and welcome to "america's news headquarters". i am a eric shawn. >> i'm arthel neville. today the second so-called unite the right rally begins in a couple of hours. serving as a test for president trump who denounced quote - all

types of racism. after his comments last year about the deadly charlottesville rally drew much scrutiny. senior trip advisor, kellyanne conway, earlier defending the president on "fox news sunday". >> racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs including the kkk, neo-nazis, white supremacist and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans. that quote - doesn't get much play pair that was the president of the united states, president trump last august 14 denouncing those groups after already and before that and after that denouncing racism, bigotry, hatred and violence as he did again yesterday. arthel: we have fox team coverage with griff jenkins live. and doug mckelway is in charlottesville. we are seeing some signs of tensions. we begin with peter ducey live

at foggy bottom metro station in washington were white supremacists are expected to arrive soon. reporter: we have not seen any signs of protesters yet but there are a ton of police officers who are here several hours ahead of these white nationalists who are expected to come to washington d.c. around 5:00 for their white civil rights rally. the plan as best we do understand according to organizers is that they will all gather somewhere in northern virginia at a metro station about 15 miles, 10 metro stops from here. then i will ride to the foggy bottom metro and march right on this weight up 23rd street to pennsylvania. then they will make a left and head toward lafayette park. the permit for this particular march they say they are expecting as many as 400 people. we have no idea if it is an accurate representation. if you will be higher or lower just because we are still

several hours away. organizers are telling everybody not to go to lafayette park. they all want to come together from northern virginia. the reason this is happening in washington d.c. today is because the organizer was not able to get a permit again in charlottesville because he was the organizer of the rally last year, one year ago this weekend that started out as a protest for the removal of a robert e lee statue in charlottesville. then evolved into violent clashes. ultimately resulting in the death. it is a hot day here, rain in the forecast and several hours from now we do expect to see several hundred peer we do not know. but they will be here for the white civil rights rally in front of the white house. arthel: thank you. eric: walk a few blocks away the so-called shut it down d.c. coalition. organizing a counter protest. griff jenkins is live at the freedom plaza for that part of the story. and what we can expect.

reporter: we are racing a few hundred people come into freedom plaza. the number is expected for the counter protesters against unite the right. expecting to be much larger. there is a state here they will have speakers and broad coalition of black lives matter, anti-fascists as well as others opposed to not only what happened in charlottesville the president, the organizer and mc of the speeches that are about to happen here. a guy named david thurston. i spoke to him earlier. i first met him at the inauguration. a little while ago. this is what he had to say about the message today.>> we are always concerned about what these people can do and it is startling that they would dare to try and have anything on the anniversary of their having killed someone. if you take a look around to see the groups are gathering.

lots of different groups that we will see and after they hear about what is going to be two hours of speeches, around 2:00 they organized a short march a couple of blocks that they will go up to lafayette park but of course, one of the flashpoints will be watching for out here is if any of this group tries to block as peter was saying, the march as they make their way from foggy bottom toward lafayette park. the group also has the permit in lafayette park. the police saying a press conference to help more than anything to keep the two groups separate. eric: thank you so much. keeping them separate certainly is the name of the game. arthel: there is we are seeing reports that there are tense moments in charlottesville virginia. as protesters they are mark one year to the day for deadly brothers. doug mckelway is live with that. reporter: for the first time in 48 hours we been in charlottesville we are

beginning to see tensions rise here a little bit. we are in a bit of an ebb right now. police officers here are decked out in riot gear. they have helmets on, padded gloves, batons as well as sidearms. they are prepared to go in if necessary. we are at the intersection right now where heather higher was mowed down by a white supremacist last year. that street, the particular area where she died is blocked off to pedestrians. early this morning about 9:00 there was a rally for the social justice group in a park, booker t. washington park. it was a group much larger than the 50 which a permit is required. much larger than that. they did not have a permit together in that park. yet the police a show of tremendous restraint, let them have that rally there. they did not show any kind of

force. but then after that rally was done in the park they there was. in tremendous restraint the police tried to accommodate them. also the virginia state lead ask if they were in control running the show and wanted i am not. they asked another and they said no. the police said where are you going? so we can provide an escort for you. they all said we don't know where we are going. anyway, they ended up here at heather heyer way. there's been lots of shouting, couple of minor scuffles but you see the tensions are high. stephen, wont you go down that way. our cameraman, go down where they seem to have moved on a little bit right now. this virginia state armored car has just been put into place here. that is where it now stands. state police helicopter

hovering overhead. it is a bit of an ominous sound for us that were here last year when the state police helicopter crashed killing two state troopers. we are in the same place last year, looking this is eerily similar. policed i want to say again, using an excess of caution and restraint. i suppose there is a fine line though between an excess of caution and being too inactive if things get out of hand. we have not reached that point yet. we're watching it very closely. back to you in new york. >> a similar image, what does seem to be different this year is the high end police presence there. you have got more police presence. you know that there are states of emergency declared in virginia this week giving local law enforcement access to the state resources that we see there. including the national guard. as a deterrent to make sure the violence is under control. >> that's right.

when adding to the confusion of what's going on here today, let me make it absolutely clear, there are no white supremacists. alleys who are visibly showing their faces in charlottesville. we've seen actually none of them. in the absence of that, many of these provocateurs from the groups are turning their anger at the police were actually here to protect them. i told you how the police said we want to provide an escort. where you going? they said we don't know. so you have to hand it to the police officers in charge here who are taking this approach. it is the supreme irony how these people have no white supremacists to get in their faces. instead they're getting in the faces of the police officers and accusing them of being part of the white conspiracy. keep in mind the police chief in charlottesville is an african-american replacing the previous police chief that was an african-american. there's a lot of hypocrisy involved in what a lot of the marches are doing today.>>

thank you, doug mckelway. eric: meanwhile in the world stage of trump administration unleashing a flurry of new sanctions targeting nato ally turkey as well as iran and russia. some are saying new sanctions against vladimir putin 's regime marks the new low point in relations between washington and moscow. the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, congressman ed royce reacted to this this morning on sunday morning futures. quickly represents considerable leverage right now on putin. we are sending a message to put in the administration is sending a message, you will pay a steep price for your continued intervention in our elections and for your other actions such as this attack on british soil. eric: gillian turner has more from washington. reporter: good afternoon. the top administration foreign

policy team was capped off a week of sanctioning and punishing foreign adversaries across multiple regions from the middle east to east asia. new penalties for turkey russian iran front and center. sending global markets into a tailspin. it began on wednesday with the announcements -- several months ago. still, no word from the ministration on russian election interference. despite increasing concerns for them could present its own party. >> they just need to act better to achieve the goal. the directly involved in killing the british citizen, the poison that was being used in britain to kill this former soviet spy or member who became a spy came from russia. they are meddling in the 2018 election. i'm hundred percent certain they will continue to metal in the election. they intend to disrupt the 2018

election. >> in front of the president announced new sanctions against turkey. nato ally via twitter. he authorized what -- tariffs. he went on to say you escort relations with turkey are not good at this time. the gop lawmakers seem to agree. >> we are knocking to have a normal relationship with turkey. until the pastor is out.the charges against him are complete shams. bogus event regarding pastor brunson and others. there's nothing to do with trying to topple the government. reporter: all of this is that reigning national economy faces severe strain even before the so-called snapback sanctions take effect. but despite the early signs of the sanctions efficacy some lawmakers caution trouble is ahead. >> i think the biggest problem here is that we do not once again, have a concerted world

stand with us against the iranians. and they willtry to divide and conquer , separate europeans to do that. >> officials from germany, uk and france have already responded with harsh criticism to the re-imposition of the so-called snapback sanctions. eric: thank you so much. for more in the bring in a former state department senior advisor under president trump and george w. bush. christian, how serious will russia dumping u.s. securities be in terms of further hurting the stock market and moscow? quickly one have a big effect. they've already reduced holdings of u.s. treasury debt from 100 billion down to 15 billion. to just put that in perspective there, 17 or 18 right now standing about 6 trillion. held by foreign governments. we will talking 15 billion. if russia dumped everything tomorrow no one will really notice. what has been going on though is the market was taken somewhat by surprise by this latest round of sanctions.

a bit of overkill because we've already actually sanctioned or punished russia for the attempted assassination of the two people in britain. eric: why do you think they are such seemingly a disconnect between what the president says or does not say about vladimir putin and russia and yet, seemingly tougher measures that his administration has been taking? some say far beyond some previous administrations. >> i think you have a bit of a runaway national security bureaucracy. the mattress money is done in the bureaucracy.frankly they don't want the president to succeed in trying to improve relations with russia. you point out we've already taken a number of steps to get much tougher on russia than the previous administration. we have armed ukrainians fighting russian proxies. we've expelled a number of russian diplomats. closed consulates in san francisco and seattle kicking out a bunch of russian spies. now this latest -- again, we are ready punish them for this activity happened in another

country. the attempted assassination of two people in britain. incidentally britain not doing us any with anything. moving the embassy to jerusalem and giving us some cover there. eric: the attack though is an attack directly at our western values. that we both share across the atlantic. and as you say, if there are increasing sanctions against russia, don't they deserve it for what they have done in ukraine for the annexing of crimea? for the election invasion and attack on our countries infrastructure to try and undermine our very democracy? >> is all very bad things. they have been punished and that they can support to keep it in perspective. the amount they spent. if you look at the indictment from back in february, $1.5 million a month at the peak level on social media to try and cause tension in the united states. you actually don't need to have a foreign government spending money to cause tension in the united states. that amount of money $1.5 million a month is really nothing in a presidential

election. with more than 1.5 billion spent. russia is doing bad things and they deserve to pay a price but we actually want things from russia.we want things from them in syria and in regard to north korea. and crimea and ukraine and georgia. at some point if we are going to be serious about talks, you have to say maybe we don't want to have tougher sanctions on russia than on china. china actually involves itself much more in our political system and our elections frankly, then russia ever has. eric: how do you change the behavior? or do sanctions work? bottom line peered looking at north korea, you deal with iran, they had nuclear program that they were continuing under sanctions. saddam hussein used the un program to stuff billions in his pockets.and those of the, his cronies in iraq. bottom line, do you think the use of sanctions can change the international behavior of bad actors like putin? >> typically, it has to be financial sanctions.

russians able to tolerate really almost indulge themselves in overcoming western pain.regimes like north korea have reacted to financial sanctions when they have been put on banks they use to launder money. if you cut off their piggy bank then the regimes used to support themselves it does have an effect. but this broad use of sanctions against russia where every week it is something new and congress is contemplating even more coming down the pike. it's okay to cause painful russia just don't expect to get anything from them in response. eric: you do not think putin will ever change, he is who he is. >> i think he reacts to real world factors. again, arming ukrainian opponents and things like that. ultimately, he just did not want nato and their own political activities coming up against his border. that's why, i do not agree with or justify with what he did but taking small parts of georgia and ukraine is what he did to keep the countries from joining nato because he can't get into nato without an unresolved border dispute.

he did not want nato coming appeared again, am not apologizing for his conduct but i think we need to put this in perspective in a world where iran and china pose much greater threats to the united states than russia. eric: meanwhile officials say russia continues to attack our election system. i think we will be watching out as it continues. good to see you. >> thank you. arthel: renewed calls to expedite special counsel, robert mueller 's investigation paid what they're saying today. plus the present building momentum hashing out a potential trade deal with our european allies. but can he also make a deal with canada and mexico as new nafta negotiations intensify. >> it looks like were actually making progress with european allies. now hopefully with mexico and hopefully canada will come in and be an honest negotiator. quicksilver earns you unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere.

lawyer, rudy giuliani said special counsel robert mueller 's investigation should be able to be wrapped up he says, by early next month. but of course the investigation timetable is not up to the former new york city mayor. >> you don't want to do what james comey did. have some serious disclosure take place. out of your control. it can get done by early september. they have all the information they need to write a report. eric: no word from investigators on that. meanwhile, rick leventhal is live in berkeley heights, new jersey. near the president's golf club. reporter: the president has no public events scheduled on this last full day of his working vacation. he may have spent part of the morning watching fox news because he tweeted a quote - from judge jeanine that airs on saturday night so perhaps he taped that program but it was aimed at the head of the russia probe. president tweeting at judge jeanine robert mueller isn't your investigation based on a dossier paid for by hillary --

a thing is to have you give up the phone investigation for the present road no collision. yesterday the president tweeted criticism of andrew mccabe. the former fbi agent involved in both the mueller probe and clinton email investigation his wife ran for office in virginia with big financial assistance from hillary supporters.the present also tweeting criticism x-ray of several other players in this ongoing mueller saga. >> can you prove unethical behavior on its face, that is what we have. failure to disclose, contexts that shouldn't have happened, his own conflict because of his wife. but clearly these make it seem like the department of justice had a program designed to keep donald trump from becoming president.reporter: you can see the president was apparently watching fox and friends as well. he quoted the congressman this morning on how the doj and fbi

were trying to keep him from becoming president. he also wrote if this happened to the other side, everybody involved would be in jail. this is a media cover up of the biggest story of our time. another big story today, is a former white house aide who has a book coming out next week. we will have reaction to the omarosa story in the next hour. eric: thank you so much. arthel: the president scrambling for a recent deal on nafta had the mentor. he is touting progress made with one of our trade partners. the present tweeting deal with mexico is coming along nicely. autoworkers and farmers must be taken care of. or there will be no deal. new president of mexico has been an absolutely gentleman. canada must wait there tariffs and trade barriers are far too high. will tax cars if we cannot make a deal. house freedom caucus member congressman also reacting to

the progress on "sunday morning futures". >> everything we are picking up in the ways and means committee is where making genuine progress with mexico. mexico has been an honest negotiator. there is still some frustration with canada.canada as you know, earlier in the year sort of engage in a offense but not necessarily charm negotiations. arthel: we have a white house correspondent with us for the daily mail. francesca, what is the president signaling with this particular tweet? >> the president is trying to nudge ottawa it seems into making a deal and possibly offering some concessions. we know the president prefers bilateral trade deals. this is a trilateral trade deal. he said in the past of a deal cannot be arrived at he will totally throw out nafta and start all over again. and there will be no trade deal at all. things are coming along well

with mexico and suggesting as the administration has in the past that if he does not get what he wants, from canada, he could go forward with a deal with mexico alone. then come back around to canada after it is done.arthel: we are looking at pictures there of the prime minister justin trudeau and his wife and president trump having a happy moment. but you know there is this unlikely thing going on between the two of them. does it have anything to do with what's happening now in terms of the trade deal that is not progressing as the president is saying? reporter: right. in june we know that president trump went to canada. as you noted there they looked like they were having a good time and everything was fine. but then after president trump left to go to singapore for his summit with kim, there was a release by the g7 that upset the president. then he pulled himself out of the communiquc and since then,

the relationship seem to be on the rocks with justin trudeau. he trashed the prime minister saying he was trying to undermine president trump as he headed to singapore. since then, they have met in brussels in july. but we did not have a private meeting between president trump and the prime minister, justin trudeau. they could have talked on the sidelines or behind the scenes but as far as we know, they did not sit down together for a one-on-one meeting. that should tell you a lot about the state of the relationship and while it's possible they could have talked privately on the phone since then, it is not something we have heard about from the white house as well.arthel: we do not know if in fact this personal relationship is in the way of perhaps, making progress there with canada. reporter: right. we do not know exactly what the status of that is. we do know that canada is trying to downplay president trump saying progress is coming along well the way that canada is characterizing it as that the mexico and united states are able to work out their differences on auto and other issues that the deal can move

forward for they are characterizing this as a sign of progress. between the countries. arthel: a couple of more questions. first of all, does president trump have the full support of the republican party across the board? >> when it comes to trader tariffs? arthel: both. >> there are a few things as to whether president trump should be pursuing higher tariffs and whether or not that constitutes as free trade. the white house saying they would love to see all trade and all barriers removed but they feel that the united states has being taken advantage of for too long for that includes not just by america's enemies but by american allies. they are really separating the issue of national security from trade. saying that even if it's an ally of the united states they do not want the united states to be taken advantage of any more economically. they are going to be pursuing tough measures including against europe and canada and mexico.

in countries that have typically been allies. arthel: i was going to ask about midterm voting but we will have you back. i always love talking to you. i am out of time. >> we have several months to discuss that! arthel: absolutely we will be back. thank you. eric: the bizarre and frightening flight of richard russell. coming up, the investigation into how authorities say he was able to steal a plane, take off and fly around seattle for 90 minutes. the security questions officials are asking. we will hear from the family and get analysis from aviation experts next. >> they will push us to learn what we can in this tragedy. so that we can assure this does not happen again. at the air group or at any other airline. spray relieves 6 symptoms... claritin-d relieves 8, including sinus congestion and pressure. claritin-d relieves more.

>> tivo was loved by everyone because he was kind and gentle to each person he met. this is a complete shock to us. as the voice recording show, his intent was not to harm anyone. he was right in saying there are so many people who loved him. >> investigators still trying to figure out how he got on the flight in flu for so long. arthel: thank you so much. eric: not for more on this michael boyd, president of the boyd group international. this is heartbreaking. he was not in his right mind. sad and tragic. the main question is how did he pull this off without any worker apparently saying wait a minute, what plain as that. that's not supposed to be pulled out of the maintenance hangar. with no one see anything apparently. >> here's a rogue employee and

this is something that some of your competition brought up. at the third coming of 9/11. things move around all the time. engines are tested from airplanes or flight tested. they move around. it wouldn't necessarily bring any attention to anything. an airplane moving happened. what we have is a situation of a rogue employee, but now we have to deal with that plus the fact despite some stories where some stories were take the flip of a switch, that is not true. it takes some skill and knowledge of the airplane you'll not get from a computer program. >> we understand that he may be flight simulators do you think that's possible? >> not possible at all. we have a fuel pressure, all the sorts of things and to do what he was doing with the airplane in the air, the guy might have a

phenom. but it's a really safe thing to do. not though. sure into what you have to do? there is a security failure. maybe it is supposed to be secured. he had access to it. but look, you've got a pole and make sure it's clear in the ribbon off your elevators and flaps in this sort of thing. they have angles for takeoff in this sort of thing. they've got a notice details. this is a sophisticated plane. we've got an engine key as you say. these are the questions the investigators are asking and when it started to go off the taxiway, it apparently wasn't stopped. >> people look at that and say there's another air airplane leaving. the argument the airplane should have been this or that. we don't know that pit the fact of the matter is we had an employee out there all the time, probably on a work shirt.

when an airplane is coming not everybody says why is it moving, but they move all the time. we have a rogue employee. there were some procedures about who can get into a hat and who can't. this has never happened before. eric: what are they going to do specifically? have a locked door that the double-team person can get into the cockpit. >> i doubt it very much. people, on and off airplanes. he had a mechanic and in the cockpit do something else. mechanics working on the engine. so you have to have some security there. the fact is a rogue employee is very, very hard to encounter. especially one like this to have a good track record. eric: obviously, when under the radar. but that is happened before. german wings, aircraft, flew that plane into a mountain

killing 150 people on board a couple years ago. he suffered from severe depression. the egypt air 757 flight from jfk to cairo. the pilot goes to the bathroom. the copilot locks the door. the pilot is hanging on the door and the copilot apparently yells allah akbar and die stepping into the east coast. how can the industry try to find his rogue employees before they do them harm? >> there's a huge difference between what happened with german wings. that guy was on drugs. we knew it back then. this guy was a lower-level employee that did fairly menial tasks and you wouldn't expect to do something bad in his job. he never expected him to get on an airplane and fly it around. so that is very hard to find, especially in this case. they say there was no background of this guy having any major problems, but he took an airplane and flew it away.

trying to is in the passenger seat. can we show that video again? the very beginning is on his own facebook video. he obviously had some fine experience because even if you sit in the passenger seat of a 172, you can fly. i've done it when my dad was flying it. and you can learn what to do. >> the thing is to learn how to start 2120 engines, to set the flaps, to set all the other things you need to set up your iphone to 152. it's different. eric: as. eric: so what do you think the industry will do because of this horrible event is typically? >> i think they will look at u.s. access to cockpits and have tighter security. if you see it, say it. this guy might have had open access to a it in any case.

this case anybody who goes to the the door will have especially credential to do so going forward. this is the first time for this type of thing. eric: very shocking and of course our heart goes out to his family. just so traveling anonymously raises a signal about aviation safety and our country. michael boyd, good to see you. thank you. arthel: era, thank you. for public can't make a move to get more information about the controversial deal dossier? how will that go over at the justice department? we will talk about it. gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea can start in the colon and may be signs of an imbalance of good bacteria. only phillips' colon health has this unique combination of probiotics. it helps replenish good bacteria.

senior white house adviser, kellyanne conway on "fox news sunday." >> i've noticed that the media is almost silent about these new revelation that christopher steele and the number four by peter orr and his wife, nellie working for fusion gps. i don't want it let americans get so confused about this convoluted mess. the pro-hillary people were so afraid that they needed a prop for a fishy with such a non-purslane sympathetic candidate that they had to dig up on donald trump. arthel: that was actually kellyanne conway on this week abc. kelly compagnie was former federal defense attorney. good to have you with me. three of the people reported on chairman good luck with their justice department official grease or, his wife nellie orr and cofounder glenn simpson. why wouldn't these three agree to be interviewed by the house

judiciary committee? >> well, they should first of all. if they didn't want to, it's because we have been consist and save the rising for what know thus far. kellyanne conway was absolutely right that in the convolution of this entire situation we don't want everyone to get confused. the main highlights of the most important part that congress will look for in his testimony look for this testimony is its inconsistency and the intelligence gathering services. for example, why would the doj officials have nothing to do with the russian intelligence probe, why was he meeting with simpson in the first place? the coffeeshop meeting we now know as pivotal in terms of information that made its way into the price of cooperated in frankly lowly credible. for example, he said i did that because of a duty. i did that because they report a crime also but in front of the house committee he said well, i wasn't convinced there was a specific crime that occurred.

if there was a commitment to duty come away to so much of this again make their way into the press before the fbi was finished. arthel: i'm sorry, emily, are you telling me that the idea between the house judiciary committee's reasoning or possibly subpoenaing these people to speak with them, to be interviewed by them, is to be able to have them on record in front of everyone to highlight inconsistencies and what they have said in the past? >> absolutely that is one major point or the second major point would be a whole bunch of questions that arose, for example, from the coffeeshop meeting. what was on the memory stick the pastor glenn to bruce ohr. did the fisa court know the information it was relying on from the operation was after ohr had been -- steele had been dismissed. the transfer of information, the obtaining of information, the verification and what if

anything was relied upon into the court and again how much was related to the press and why ultimately. arthel: so emily, all of this is taking place under the glare of the molar investigation amid vertical division, coupled with those who support the special counsel's investigation and those who want to discredit it. so how will each side views the steele dossier to bolster their argument, both sides? the >> the bmj is using it as again they want -- they don't want any type of information. we heard talk that maybe the prosecution should be declassified so that everyone can see anything with transparency. they keep calling 25 that would pierce the investigation qualification essentially and would then be pierced. on the other side, they argue the same thing but in the opposite that it's already been obvious from the beginning. what this intelligence gathering, you have shot yourself in the foot essentially
