the fringe of british politics. provoking people is what she does. now donald trump has done jayda fransen a huge favor. >> was this a huge favor for you? >> very good indeed. >> reporter: the president retweeted three old videos fransen had dug up. one shows extremists throwing somebody off a roof. it turned out to be a fight between rival political factions in egypt and a crime for which the perpetrators were sentenced to death. another showed a jihadist fighter destroying a christian statue, and a third showed an islamic man attacking a dutch man on crutches. it turns out they were both born and bred in holland. the issue is clear. >> islam has threatened the world for far too long. >> reporter: that says white

built on. you cared that network on your shoulders. >> reporter: lauer had been with nbc for 20 years and the highest personality pulling in around $20 million a year. lauer has yet to comment on the allegations against him. anne-marie. >> hena doba here in new york. thank you very much, hena. the house has joined the senate in requiring sexual harassment training for all members and staff. the resolution easily passed yesterday. lawmakers and staff will undergo the training in each congress. there's also a bipartisan push to prevent lawmakers from using government funds to settle with accusers. republican senate candidate roy moore was back on the campaign trail. moore was briefly interrupted by a heckler last night who wanted to know why the women who accuse him of sexual harassment would be lying. moore says the allegations are dirty politics. he claims to be leading in the race despite the best efforts of democrats and the washington establishment.

>> they've tried successfully to do that. they've done everything. when i say "they," who are they? they're liberals. they don't want conservative values. they're the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender who wants to change our culture. >> moore is focusing his campaign on social issues, including his opposition to abortion. russia is calling for attireless diplomatic effort to cool tensions on the korean peninsula. the russian ambassador wants north korea to end its nuclear program and for the u.s. and south korea to cancel military maneuvers scheduled for next month. mow la lenghi has more. >> reporter: u.n.'s ambassador nikki haley. >> if war does come, it will be because of continues acts of

whether the new missile could actually support a nuclear warhead and survive re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. north korea has launched 20 missiles so far this year. mola lenghi, cbs news, the white house. >> and now to the investigation into possible coordination between russia and the campaign. the president's son-in-law jared kushner has been questioned by the special counsel robert mueller and the investigators. it's reported that flynn is cooperating with mueller's investigation. meanwhile prosecutors postponed grand jury investigation related to flynn's private business dealings. the reason for that is unclear. and the senate could start voting on a tax reform bill by this evening. the senate voted to begin debate yesterday. a proposal to automatically raise taxes if the tax package doesn't grow the economy is opposed by conservatives. yesterday in missouri, president trump made another appeal for the gop package. coming up on the morning news now, hitting home.
